Mr. Donald J. Trump and Isaiah 45

A day came when Elohim (The God of All Power and Might, the Supreme and True God – Genesis 1:1; Psalm 19:1) declared to a man, a Gentile; “I have called you by name, made you who you are…I AM the Eternal One, there is no other God but Me, and even though you don’t know Me, I AM preparing you for victory. I AM doing all this so that people all around the world may know that I alone am the Eternal, the only God” (Isaiah 45: 4, 5, 6). So on that day, Yahweh Elohe Yisrael (The God of the nation Israel – Judges 5:3; Psalm 59:5; Isaiah 17:6) chose a man to lead His chosen Nation Israel, a Gentile, actually a Persian Emperor was God’s choice to lead His People Israel to freedom and away from bondage. Wow! God made it abundantly clear to friend and foe alike, it is He, not kings nor the ruling elite, nor the media, nor anything else on the earth that directs history. Attiq Yomin (The Ancient of Days, the One True God, the Eternal – Daniel 7:9, 13) who stands above and behind human history directing and orchestrating events to fulfill His purposes. At times man needs to be reminded of this truth. This may very well be one of the times.

America and the church in America are at a crossroads, a point by which decisions will have to be made. These decisions are not just for Election Day, but also to meet the sunrise on January 20th, 2017, the Day of the Inauguration of a new President of the United States. Much like ancient Israel, modern-day America has slipped into bondage, and quickly is being led into a devastating swamp from which no escape will be possible, save the Hand of God. America is on the verge of being a footnote in the annals of history; albeit, an important footnote, but nevertheless, relegated to a mere story of her former greatness and hope. A nation that squandered the anointing and gifts of God, the privilege to be a shining light on a hill for all to see and emulate. Forces of darkness have worked to cover the truth in the founding of this Nation, and citizens have allowed this darkness to envelop us, and the church has remained silent. Not only have most pulpits not admonished the people in their silence, but the pulpits of this country once brightly lit by the fires of the Gospel and our Judeo-Christian foundation, have not pushed back against the darkness! America is no longer representing the light of the Gospel; rather, America has adopted a secular and humanistic gospel foreign from God’s Word. Satanic rituals go unchallenged in the name of acceptance. Homosexuality is merely nodded at rather than lovingly but firmly addressed in accordance with God’s Word. The family unit is socially being engineered in the name of inclusion and modernizing. America who once sent forth missionary’s in fulfillment of God’s command to go forward into the world and deliver the Good News of Christ, now exports a Satanic set of principles as an example of how far the United States has drifted from her foundation, her founding values and beliefs that countries throughout the world once envied. The pastors and God’s people in and outside the church setting, have not guarded nor worked the vineyard diligently to bring forth the fruit of the vine. A large host of “Christians” are silent, not engaged in making Disciples of Christ nor helping to mature those who already claim to be followers of Christ. And evil has been allowed to come into the vineyard and strangle any productivity, any fruit of labor, but then again there is very little labor and very little fruit.

In the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, Chapter 45, we read the fact-based historical account of God raising up a man of unlikely pedigree to lead the people of Israel not only out of bondage and possible greater tragedy, but back under submission (cooperation) with their Maker, Yahweh (the proper Name of the Lord – Genesis 2:4; Exodus 6:2,3). Is it possible Donald J. Trump is a modern day chosen leader by God just like Cyrus in Isaiah? Similar to Cyrus as described in Isaiah 45, Trump really likes God’s People, and he has openly pledged to be a friend and protector of the Judeo-Christian principles by which our country was founded and outlined in our documents of government and law. Cyrus in the Book of Isaiah clearly stated he would rebuild Jerusalem; Trump clearly has stated he would rebuild and make America “great again!” If America fails democracies across the globe fail, and if democracies fail the Christian Faith and followers will be targeted until they fail. Instead of experiencing such a catastrophic collapse, what if God is about to break forth in a powerful manner reserved for just such a day and time as now?

What if…Yahweh Sabaoth (The Lord of Hosts of All Heavenly powers, the Lord who is our Protector and Savior – 1 Samuel 1:3; Isaiah 6:1-3), what if…He is commencing to build His Remnant Church, and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it! What if…Adonai (The Lord who alone is over all – Deuteronomy 6:4) is building His government, and will call out “those to whom I choose to fill the positions as I choose for all men to see so all around the world may know I Am the Eternal, the only God!” What if…El Shaddai (God Almighty, all Powerful – Genesis 17:1; Psalm 91:1) is putting together His Church, His Government, His Followers separating the goats from the sheep, the wheat from the shaft, those who will truly follow Him from those who are mere name Sayers and rabble-rousers?

What if the God of the Book of Isaiah is performing a much similar act today in America with Donald Trump as He did with Cyrus as written in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 45?

The Great Gamble

Victims of their own propaganda, and driven by personal power and greed, Soviet leaders realized too late that their socialist “progressive” vision was inherently flawed and fatally corrupt.  The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed into oblivion.

A very small group of Elite progressive power-brokers has gone all-in to dictate the future of the Democratic Party and America.  Senior political leaders, major global corporate finance donors, and information age tech moguls are playing a very dangerous game of political chance. They back the candidate that would best submit to their interests.  The hand they play is strong – controlling the message, shifting voter demographics, encouraging emotion over reason, and most importantly controlling the increasingly politicized executive branch law enforcement agencies, the IRS and EPA to shape the nation in their favor.  They are doubling down to dictate the outcome of the 2016 U.S. election in order to promote their vision of a harmonious, interdependent, multicultural global utopian society – once the Marxist vision of the world.  Their gamble could destroy the Democratic Party, and cost some of the Elite their freedom.  Regardless, their efforts portend a tumultuous assault on American democracy.

The evidence is overwhelming – the Democratic presidential nominee did not win her party’s nomination in a fair, open, democratic process.  In spite of the media facade of unity on the last day of their nominating convention, Democrats were dramatically divided.  Give the DNC credit – they kept the illusion of unity with great orchestration and corporate media assistance.

The DNC Elite protected Hillary Clinton from Bernie Sanders and any credible primary challenger.  They had no choice – they rigged the game years in advance with super-delegates and allowed no alternative.  In the end, the Elite chose an ethically flawed candidate over an open primary and democracy.  Voters had no real choice but Clinton in the Democratic primary race, and big money protected her.

Financial Elite fund the Clinton power grab.  By industry, corporate investors are Clinton’s largest donors, even though she has no experience in capital markets.  According to public filings as of Oct 31 2016, the securities and investment industry contributed over $78 million to her campaign.  These numbers do not include Super-PAC contributions, or murky foreign contributions through US agents.  How does this compare to the Trump campaign?  The securities and investment industry contributed under $750 thousand to someone who earned over a billion dollars running businesses and investments.

Including Super-PACs, global corporate finance have spent well over $100 million dollars to secure a Clinton victory.  Why the massive investment?  Maybe they liked what they heard in those private speeches?  The evidence is mounting daily from investigation disclosures and leaked documents – with large contributions a foreign government or a corporation can buy access and favor from the Clintons.  $100 million is a big risk and a big investment – corporate investors limit risk and don’t invest to be nice, they invest to make money.

The Elite politicians, tech moguls and corporate media believe they can hide the truth if they control the message.   It is now blatantly obvious the Clinton Campaign, the DNC, and the Obama Administration effectively coordinated media efforts to protect Clinton and defame Trump.  Corporate media editorial boards and journalists colluded with Democrats to shape the campaign messages and debate questions.  In a recent Media Research Center study, they claim a 9 to 1 ratio of media favoritism to Clinton over Trump.  If there is nothing positive out there to see, how can fair journalists or voters see both sides?  Where do they find the stories?  This is propaganda, controlled and funded by corporate donors who have a direct investment in a Clinton victory.

The Clintons, Mook, Podesta, Brazile, Mills, Wasserman-Shultz, Pelosi, Reed, Obama, Biden, George Soros, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, editorial staffs for Time-Warner, NYT, Washington Post, USA Today, MSN, Facebook, Google executives and their loyal but ill-informed followers are confident they can manipulate the average American voter.  They believe they are smarter than the masses.  They are counting on the electorate to be sheep.  It is a big bet and a huge risk in a nation that reveres independence.

Along with the propaganda machine, Clinton, the DNC and the Obama administration have attempted unprecedented demographic manipulation to achieve their goals of maintaining power.  The examples are overwhelming – the Dreamer Act, lax deportation, encouraging illegal immigration by providing tax-payer funded services, supporting sanctuary cities, fighting against voter ID while fighting for illegals to have ID.   They move immigrants and refugees to districts that shift voter balance.  With programs like “My Dream, Your Vote”, they encourage illegals to get out the vote.

But the most disturbing revelations are the attempts to attack political opponents with executive regulation and the Department of Justice – reminiscent of the Soviet Union.  The EPA has enacted regulations that strangled industries and cost jobs for political purposes in key states.   Senior IRS staff communicated with senior DOJ staff to explore how to prosecute political opposition groups.  There is undisputed and mounting evidence that Clinton campaign staff members colluding with State Department and DOJ leaders during investigations, and were given special privileges by investigators.

As with the Soviet leaders, the Elites believe their own propaganda and feel invincible.   They bet the sheep will vote for a vague vision.  That vision is forced tolerance, more immigration, expanding global trade for their profit and keeping an egotistical, misogynist, racist from office.  They tell their operatives to just stay on message, encouraging divisive politics – attack Trump, blame Bush, the Russians, Comey, Weiner, anybody else, but DON’T take responsibility.  They herd disaffected voters by inciting fear of an opponent they cast as a great evil.

Though many wish for it, the Utopian society the Elite herald is a bluff, it does not exist – nor will it ever – and they know it.  Their bluff has unleashed hate and anger among minorities and the very millennials they hoped to coopt.  The middle class has lost faith in its government.  Americans are divided over race, over politics, over faith and over our future.

Sadly, the Elite gamble with America’s future for profit and power, at the risk of American democracy.  If they win, America’s future will be dictated by selfish, corrupt and power hungry leaders.  They will use the media, technology and law enforcement and take drastic measures to protect themselves and their vision.  If they lose, they will face the justice system they are attempting to manipulate.  They risk the destruction of their own party.  The damage will leave wounds so deep they will take decades to heal.  In either scenario, America is about to go through traumatic and necessary soul searching.

I have faith most Americans still respect the individual over the state and respect the rule of law.   I am confident many will vote, and if necessary, fight for our Constitution and the values that made America the nation all others once aspired to become.  I am confident Americans will call the bluff.  And I am just as confident the Clintons, the DNC, Obama and the financial Elite are in for a very rough ride.

Never Trumpers: Let’s Make a Deal

This is for you Never Trump people who persist in raking me over the coals for supporting Trump. Your attacks go as followed, “How could you Mr Marcus? I am soooooooooo disappointed in you! You’ve always stood for Christian values, conservatism and character. And yet, you wrote a song, ‘Trump Train’, which encourages people to vote for horrible Donald Trump.”

Dear Never Trumppers, please stop wasting your breath on me. Frankly, with all do respect, I think you guys are the ones who are misguided. You say Trump is rude, crude and unacceptable. Therefore, you will not vote at all, or you will throw away your vote by writing in a candidate. In essence, you are helping to elect the devil incarnate, Hillary Clinton. You guys know Hillary’s lies have caused people to die. You know she will continue to arrogantly and blatantly lie, cause more deaths and get away with it because the democrats own the mainstream media. Oh, but that Trump is so uncouth. Give me a break.

Everyone with half a brain knows electing Hillary equals unleashing an anti-American, Anti-Christian beast upon America, wrecking havoc and laying-waste of our culture as founded.

Talk about groaning and gnashing of teeth across our great land, Hillary boldly proclaims that she will double down on Obama’s nightmare policies and socialist vision for America.

Hillary’s presidency would be, in essence, Obama 2.0.

Obamacare cost will increase as much as 80% and higher after the first of the year, 2017. Rush Limbaugh said Obamacare is an extremely cruel democrat party dirty-trick played on the middle class. They will be unable to afford much of anything after paying their monthly Obamacare bill. And you Never Trump guys want to beat up on me on moral grounds? Would it be moral for me to allow Hillary’s furtherance of Obama’s misery care to reign supreme? God forbid.

Hillary will accelerate the number of babies dying/aborted due to taxpayer funded abortions. Her Royal Hillary-Ness will demand that we promote abortion. Under Hillary’s regime, more Christians will be jailed for refusing to betray their faith. And yet, you guys say your Christian faith prevents you from voting for Trump.

Hillary stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Al Sharpton in strong support of Black Lives Matter. This alliance of evil will cause more cops and innocent whites to be assassinated.

Hillary boldly stated she will bring in a tsunami of illegal aliens, in essence, transforming America into a democrat party ruled welfare socialist Mecca. Send us all your lazy, free-loaders who refuse to assimilate, yearning to over population while white and black Americans abort themselves; takeover our government and kill Americans for religious reasons.

Finally, sensing the horror of Hillary in the WH, Christian media seems in panic mode, pressing believers to vote for Trump. Meanwhile, you guys are willing to let her win because Trump is not conservative enough? I am scratching my head. Your reasoning escapes me.

So, let’s make a deal. I have not and will not get into your face trying to convince you to vote for the candidate who vows to “Make America Great Again!”

I respectfully ask that you extend me the same courtesy, not getting into my face scolding me for not surrendering my country to fanatical leftist zealots lead by Hillary Clinton.

Inaccuracy of Polls send Gold and Silver Soaring predicting a Trump Presidency

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /PRNewswire/ — On June 25th 2015 an opinion piece entitled “What’s the Matter with Polling?” by Cliff Zukin was published in the New York Times. In it, Mr. Zukin detailed how the rapid adoption of cell phones and rapidly diminishing numbers of survey respondents has hindered the ability of public opinion researchers to conduct accurate polling.

Millennials, who represent 56% of America’s eligible voters, are one of the largest demographics in the U.S. who are slipping through the cracks with most public opinion polls. Since 85% of Millennials own a cell phone instead of a landline, Millennials cost twice as much to reach since regulatory restrictions prohibit calling cell phones – not landlines – with an autodialer.

The generational shift from landlines to cell phones, combined with the Millennials’ waning desire to take surveys, is rendering opinion polls worldwide unreliable and making it ever more difficult to predict outcomes in politics and financial markets. Just last week, when every poll in Colombia had predicted the passing of a referendum vote for peace with the rebel guerrilla army, FARC, 50.22% of Colombians rejected the peace deal and sent the Colombian peso plunging.

413518logoHere at home, most recent polls predict that Secretary of State Clinton will win the election and that belief has been priced into the markets in much the same way that ‘Bremain’ was priced into markets prior to the ‘Brexit’ vote. Jack Hanney, a senior partner with the nation’s leading gold IRA dealer, Patriot Gold Group, states that the “Associated Press and Reuters polls got the Brexit referendum wrong and they’re going to get the U.S. presidential election wrong too.” His logic is supported by recent political polls that incorrectly forecasted elections in Turkey, Scotland, Canada and Greece.

Jim Rickard, author of the book “Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis,” goes one step further than Hanney to say that “Trump will win, the Dow will drop over 1,000 points and gold will gain $100 overnight.” These sentiments are shared by many leading political and precious metal analysts who are hedging their bets as it’s widely believed that if Trump does pull a Brexit-style upset, gold and silver will move up as much as 20% within a week from today.

In a country whose government was founded 238 years ago to protect every citizen’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, who’d have predicted living in the constant state of fear created by terrorism, systemic corruption, rising inequality and economic recession? If nothing else, the sad state of affairs in America today demonstrates that any outcome is possible. And the polls are no different.

Take heed of the recent warnings from the Huffington Post and Wall Street Journal: “the world will look so different six months from now” that Americans should “prepare themselves for the recession [and] hide in gold.”

Market Indicator Gives Trump An 86% Chance Of Winning The Election

Florida: Top 10 Reason to Vote NO on Amendment 2

This list explains why Floridians must vote NO of Florida Amendment 2:

  1. It’s Permanent – Amendment 2 is a proposed Constitutional Amendment, that means it could never be changed, limited or altered by law enforcement, local governments or the state legislature. And while some Constitutional Amendments allow for a local option, Amendment 2 specifically does not.
  2. Florida Doctors Oppose It – The Florida Medical Association unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to Amendment 2. They said quite frankly: “There is nothing medical about this proposal.” You also have the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Epilepsy Society who have all come out against state medical marijuana programs like Amendment 2.
  3. Budtenders NOT Pharmacists – “Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers” are not legitimate pharmacies. In fact, you won’t find a single licensed pharmacist behind the counter of any Amendment 2-style Pot Shop. Instead, you’ll find a so-called Budtender with no medical training, but lots of first-hand experience smoking pot.
  4. It’s De Facto Legalization – The authors of Amendment 2 tried to hide their gaping Pot Legalization Loophole behind a long list of conditions, but if you read the fine print you’ll find this clause: “… or any other debilitating medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those enumerated …” Just like in California, anyone with anxiety, migraines, trouble sleeping or a sore throat will be able to legally purchase pot.
  5. Kid-Friendly Pot Candy – Amendment 2 specifically authorizes edibles and the pot industry manufactures them to look just like the junk foods your children know and love. In states like California, where medical marijuana is legally sold, children as young as 21 months are being rushed to the emergency room as a result.
  6. It’s Not Your Father’s Mary Jane – Today’s pot is 10X more potent; which means this is not the marijuana of Woodstock. The average THC content has soared from less than 1% in 1972 to nearly 13% and higher today.
  7. No Local Option – Because there’s no local option to allow communities to ban, limit or restrict the location of pot shops, if Amendment 2 passes you can expect the seedy elements of the pot industry to move in right next door to your neighborhood, your church, your business and even your child’s school.
  8. 2,000 Pot Shops – The Florida Department of Health estimates that under Amendment 2 Florida will have 1,993 pot shops. That means Florida will be home to more pot shops than McDonalds, Starbucks and 7-Elevens combined.
  9. No Prescription – Amendment 2 does NOT require a doctor’s prescription in order to obtain pot because a prescription would violate federal law. Instead “patients” are given a flimsy certification which has no medical standing and is not recognized by the medical community as legitimate.
  10. They Didn’t Fix It – While the original amendment limited caregivers to just 5 “patients,” the supposedly “new and improved” amendment gives caregivers license to acquire, possess, administer, transfer and deliver pot to AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF USERS. So basically caregivers are no more than legitimized drug dealers. This isn’t the plan that someone would write if they were only concerned about providing medicine to the sick.

NFL may never recover from Kapernickitis

There’s a price to be paid for everything — even for being politically correct in a “politically correct time.” A new poll shows that the main cause of the National Football League’s much discussed ratings drop is, in fact, the National Anthem Protests sparked by the very ignorant and callow Colin Kaepernick.

But here’s the really bad news for the NFL: some of the boycotting fans may never come back.

Watching sports is frivolity, a non-essential luxury, and people are creatures of habit. If fans stay away for a while, fill that time with other pursuits (perhaps more worthwhile ones), they may just find they don’t miss football all that much. Or they may watch more college ball and discover they like it more. Pro football isn’t indispensable.

It’s much as when people give up soda, sugar, going out to clubs or anything else: they often lose their taste for what they once found so alluring. Admittedly, this theory about permanent NFL fan loss is just that, a theory. But there’s no doubt the feckless, cowardly, corrupt NFL is playing with fire. Many believe the quality of play has declined, football is getting a lot of bad press, and today’s sports entertainment business is very competitive, with many in the younger generations watching extreme sports or mixed martial arts. Football is much like boxing: old school. There’s no guarantee the NFL can replace its old fans with new ones.

Besides being immoral and irresponsible, the NFL has been, in a word, phony. Many will say the San Francisco 49ers’ “Kaepernick has a right to protest, but…,” and the NFL has postured, bloviating about “freedom of speech.” As Niners coach Chip Kelly said recently, “Kaepernick’s decision to not stand during the Anthem is ‘his right as a citizen’ and ‘it’s not my right to tell him not to do something.” But this is nonsense. Freedom of speech only guarantees freedom from government infringement upon speech, and the NFL is a private entity that is like any other workplace: it sets conduct rules.

This brings us to the obscene NFL hypocrisy. The league sets rules for dress and expression all the time; for example, it penalized Kansas City Chiefs player Husain Abdullah for kneeling in prayer in the end zone, fined New York Jets coach Rex Ryan $100,000 for shouting profanity following a victory, and fined Kaepernick himself more than $10,000 after accusing him of using a racial slur. It also has not been supportive of other protests — such as ones in favor of police.

In addition, Kaepernick’s “cause” is based on nothing but lies. Many more whites than blacks are shot by police every year; shootings of black suspects have declined 75 percent during the last few decades; police are more likely to shoot whites relative to the races’ different homicide rates and the rates at which they feloniously shoot police; cops are more likely to be shot by a black suspect than to shoot one; and a study showed that law-enforcement personnel are actually more willing to shoot white suspects, no doubt due to conditioning stemming from the fear of career and personal destruction.

Many people are aware of at least some of the above information. And NFL leadership appears to be like so many other pseudo-elites: unaware that the average person doesn’t subscribe to doctrinaire political correctness. Even many people who may be somewhat sympathetic to BLM bushwa don’t think showing disrespect to our nation is a proper response or that an NFL game is the proper venue for disruptive social activism.

In other words, there’s no moral, market or legal incentive to allow Kaepernick’s BLM protests. The NFL’s policy is, on balance, all downside and no upside. Its leadership’s thinking is offside, with stupid men governing stupid players and pursuing stupid policy. And as is said, life is hard — it’s a lot harder when you’re stupid.

The Terrorism Threat: Trump is Right — Profile, Profile, Profile

You do it. I do it. He does it. She does it. The guy down the block does it. Everyone engages in profiling — continually.

For example, if you see a bunch of rough-hewn young men walking down the block and you move to the other side; if you patronize the deli with the clean-cut guy behind the counter and not the one with the tattooed, body-pierced, greasy-haired Greenwich Village retread; or prefer a 50-year-old school bus driver for your child to a 22-year-old one, you’ve engaged in profiling. How about when a mother would choose a 17-year-old girl to babysit her child but definitely not a 17-year-old boy because most child molestation is committed by males? Is that fair? After all, just as most Muslims don’t engage in terrorism, most young men don’t molest children. But life’s not fair. And anyone who thinks a profile is invalidated simply because most members of the group in question don’t conform to it, doesn’t understand profiling.

As Dr. Walter Williams has put it, profiling is a method by which we can make decisions based on scant information when the cost of obtaining more information would be too high. For example, since you can’t spend a month living with a prospective babysitter, getting to know him personally, we have to use “an observable or known physical attribute as a proxy or estimator of some other unobservable or unknown attribute,” as Williams has put it. It’s the same with airport security, where thousands of people must be screened within a short time. And doctors profile, too; to use some examples Williams has cited, black men have a prostate cancer rate twice that of white men, physicians check women and not men for breast cancer even though men occasionally develop it, and recommend prostate exams for men over 40 but not for 25-year-olds. When a doctor does this, is he guilty of “racism,” “sexism” and “ageism”?

What all this reflects is simply the reality of “diversity.” And given that criminality isn’t the one area of life where differences among groups suddenly cease to exist, it’s not surprising that authorities, instead of checking their brain at the door, also use profiling. In their realm, the practice is used to determine the probability that a given individual has committed a crime or has criminal intent. And a profile can include many factors. For example, I’m a member of perhaps the most profiled group in the nation — men — who police view more suspiciously than women because men commit an inordinate portion of the crime. Young people are also viewed more suspiciously for the same reason.

Aside from sex and age, other factors in a criminal profile can pertain to dress, behavior, the car being driven, whether a person is out of place in a given neighborhood and many other things — including race, ethnicity and religion. And this is where we have to be careful not to descend into prejudice and unjust discrimination.

Of course, we have to know what that would be. Here’s a good example: if you bat not an eye at profiling men or young people but then complain about profiling Muslims or blacks, you’re prejudiced. If you insist that considering racial factors is “racism” but don’t call the profiling of men and the young “sexism” and “ageism,” you’re prejudiced. And if after having been made aware of this double standard, you persist in it, you are, practically speaking, a bad person.

This point cannot be made often enough. There are only two kinds of profiling: Good profiling and bad profiling. Good profiling considers all relevant factors, in accordance with legitimate criminological science; bad profiling does not. Yet propagandists, and the genuinely misguided, have convinced people that the truth is precisely the opposite of what it is: that not cherry-picking — refusing to exclude certain relevant racial factors from a profile — is so-called “racial profiling” and is wrong. (They descend into further inanity in claiming that profiling Muslims is “racial profiling” even though “Islam” is not a race.)

I wrote “certain relevant racial factors” because the anti-profiling crew has no problem profiling whites. For example, we often hear that mass shooters are inordinately white; the kicker here is that this is untrue. As I demonstrated in 2014 by analyzing data provided by left-wing site Mother Jones, whites commit mass shootings in accordance with their overall percentage of the population (interestingly, the only group overrepresented in this category was Americans of Asian descent). This brings us to another point: leftists engage in profiling no less than anyone else.

They just do it all wrong.

Consider: immediately following the 2015 San Bernardino shooting, MSNBC suggested it might have been perpetrated by pro-lifers (profile: “white Christians”). CNN opined that it could have been the handiwork of militia types (profile: “white Christians”). Of course, probability dictated the culprits were precisely who they turned out to be: Muslims. This brings us to the last point: the Left engages in projection when it complains that comprehensive profiling reflects prejudice and unjust discrimination.

In reality, the Left’s profiling is all about prejudice and unjust discrimination.

As Dictionary.com informs, a prejudice is “an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.” The assumption that the San Bernardino terrorists were Muslim wasn’t a prejudice, but simply a reflection of criminological knowledge. Likewise, that 87 percent of those targeted by the NYC police’s stop-and-frisk program were black or Hispanic didn’t reflect prejudice, but the reality that 96 percent of all crimes in NYC are committed by blacks and Hispanics.

In contrast, the Left’s profiling is not about scientific correctness but political correctness, not about what a group does but what it is. Can a group be profiled? Christians, yes; Muslims, no. Whites, yes; blacks, no. Men, yes; women, no. Heterosexuals, yes; homosexuals, no. It is all prejudice, all of the time.

Unfortunately, none of the arguments above, no matter how well or how often stated, will do anything to purge this leftist prejudice. To paraphrase satirist Jonathan Swift, “You cannot reason a man out of a position he has not reasoned himself into.” Leftists are divorced from Truth and operate based on feelings, and a misbegotten emotional attachment cannot be remedied with an intellectual approach. Instead, political correctness must die. Until exhibiting such means what speaking the Truth does now — scorn, ostracism and career destruction — until it is rooted out from the culture-shaping media, academia and entertainment, we’ll be left with the Left’s profiling and not the right profiling.

How could this be accomplished? By counteracting the social code of political correctness and its attendant social pressure with social pressure designed to deny posturing leftists their illusory high ground; turn a source of moral preening into a source of shame. To oppose proper profiling is to harm our society. To support unjust double standards in profiling is to be prejudiced. And doing this even after hearing the truth, is to be a bad person.

Syrian refugee woman and two daughters found dead in freezer

refugees-enter-denmark

Migrants enter Denmark.

Invasion of Europe news….

Authorities are looking for her husband.  Honor killing is always my first thought.

From ABC News:

Danish police say the remains of a 27-year-old Syrian woman and her two daughters, aged 7 and 9, were found in a freezer inside their apartment in southern Denmark.

Police made the gruesome discovery Sunday in the town of Aabenraa after a relative of the woman told them he hadn’t been able to reach her for a few days.

Investigators said Monday that the victims were killed but didn’t give any details.

The woman’s husband wasn’t in the apartment and is now being sought by police.

The family arrived in Denmark in 2015 and received refugee status.

The refugee invasion of Europe (our extensive archive is here) is keeping law enforcement busy, busy, busy.  There are lots of stories this morning from Germany about police working overtime due to increased crime in the refugee ‘community’, but I have no time to write about those.

Click here for our past posts on Denmark.

If you wonder why we often bring you news from Europe, it is for two reasons: We want you to know what could happen to us (in America) if we fling open our gates as Europe has done, and secondly we have thousands of readers who arrive at RRW from around the world every week and we want to inform and educate them as well.

Hani Salam escaped civil war in Syria and survived the journey from Egypt to Europe. But when he saw men with bushy long beards at a mosque near his current home in Cologne last November, he was worried.

The men’s appearance reminded him of Jaish al-Islam, the Islamist rebels who took over his hometown near Damascus, said Salam, 36, who wears a moustache but no beard. One of them told Salam that “good Muslims grow beards, not moustaches,” he recalled – a centuries-old idea that he dismisses.

“Everything about this mosque made me feel uneasy,” he said.

Syrians in Germany say many of the country’s Arab mosques are more conservative than those at home.

Over two months, a dozen Syrians in six places of worship in three cities told Reuters they were uncomfortable with very conservative messages in Arabic-speaking mosques. People have criticised the way the newcomers dress and practise their religion, they said. Some insisted the Koran be interpreted word-for-word.

The intelligence agency has advised local authorities against housing asylum-seekers near Salafist or Wahhabi mosques.

Continue reading about the different mosques German authorities are attempting to cope with.  And, by the way, the words Salafist and Wahhabi are very definitive and I wonder why we don’t see those words used much in the American press.

What is happening in your American town? What sort of mosque do you have in your neighborhood? And, in what direction will that mosque push the new refugees arriving daily which are placed in the vicinity of a mosque by Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (among others). Do they even know what they are doing?

NOTE: Merkel opened a can of worms when she permitted hundreds of thousands of refugees from Muslim countries to come to Germany. Read this story and see that the German government is in the business of training ‘moderate’ Imams.

EDITORS NOTE: The featured image is of Zahran Alloush the founder and leader of Jaish al-Islam (Arabic, “Army of Islam”), a Syrian rebel militia consisting entirely of 20,000 to 30,000 Syrian fighters operating mainly around the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Syrian Refugee Numbers to Soar in FY2017 — Federally Subsidized Cheap Labor

We learned about the Syrian numbers soaring yesterday from Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart.

Besides the University of Nevada looking for employees (janitors?), another reason given in the Abstract was that Tesla would open its battery plant outside of Reno in 2017. Can you say a plentiful supply of federally subsidized cheap immigrant labor needed? Just like Chobani in Twin Falls, Idaho!

His story is here. If you live in Nevada you need to read this!

We’ve told you about the new resettlement office in Reno on several occasions.

We were fortunate to have an advance copy of the R & P Abstract for Reno long before the fiscal year began (back in May!). You can read about it here and see especially the information on the letters of support that were attached.

Telsa batter plant near Reno, Nevada.

It is that Reno Abstract that helped me understand how detailed the Abstracts are and to realize that many being reluctantly released by resettlement contractors to concerned citizens are abbreviated versions.

Unfortunately, unlike many communities developing ‘pockets of resistance’ (Rutland, VT for example), it seemed there was no interest by Reno citizens to question what was coming to their community.  Maybe some will speak up now.

However, the office is open in Reno and they are extremely difficult to close once opened (see ‘Ten things you need to know’).

See also our subsequent post on Reno’s new office here where we learned something important! The Dept. of State has identified 47 new sites***!

This is one of the letters of support in the Reno FY2017 Abstract prepared by the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI, the same federal contractor embroiled in controversy in Twin Falls, Idaho and Rutland, VT).

VIDEO: Hillary Clinton’s war against free speech

On April 14, 2015, Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer was the featured speaker at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Wednesday Morning Club. He discussed Hillary Clinton’s war against the freedom of speech, explaining how Clinton as Secretary of State, along with others in the Obama Administration and Barack Obama himself, knowingly and actively aided the advance of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s campaign to restrict the freedom of speech and stigmatize counter-terror efforts as “hate speech.”

America’s Last Stand by Karen Schoen and Neil Rice

This election is not about Trump or Hillary. It is about America.

Those who choose Trump are looking at this election to be a game changer. This election is about you deciding to be a free person in a free country, having control, of your life and making America, a sovereign nation with all citizens having equality under the law. In other words “Making America great again.” It’s that simple.

Those who choose Hillary will become just another acceptor of a mediocre existence in a new world order with a one world government and a one world religion. Where regardless of your effort, everyone gets the same. A free America will be eroded into non-existence.

Under Hillary, your sustainable controlled frugal living conditions (designed to control your lifestyle in order to “save the planet”), has laws dictated by an unelected United Nations. For in a world without borders, you have no country. You have leaders who will better themselves at your expense.

Regardless of Trumps shortcomings, like not being politically correct or doing stupid things when he was a private citizen, they pale in comparison to the liar, thief, murder committed by Hillary.

Here are a few of Hillary’s acts that the media is hiding but not to worry we will report…

  1. Hillary lies and covers up all of her immoral actions!
  2. Hillary is for open borders for illegals, and terrorist to come into the U.S., and give them automatic citizenship so they can vote!
  3. Hillary puts illegals, and refugees before the American people. She gives refugees housing, food, education, medical, and jobs, at the expense of the American people many of whom live in cars and tents) all designed to get Democratic votes while destroying our economy at the tax payers expense.
  4. Hillary sells America, it’s constitution, and it’s people for a price to foreign countries for favors, land and American resources (not hers to sell)!
  5. Hillary uses pay to play!! You want something done, just donate to the Clinton Foundation or the Clinton initiative.
  6. Hillary will appoint judges to the Supreme Court, and federal courts that do not rule by and protect the U.S. Constitution first. She is more interested in changing laws for her favored group of the month.
  7. Hillary promotes violence with groups that have connections to George Soros, and the powerful elite, black lives matters, Muslim brotherhood, the radical La Raza group, etc. while making fun of minorities behind their backs.
  8. Hillary promotes Globalism, socialism, and one world order government with all; power to the unelected United Nations.
  9. Hillary has done little or nothing in 30 years, to protect our veterans and their families. Instead she favors illegals (Her new voting block)!
  10. Hillary would destroy our religious liberties given to us by God while forcing us to pay for late term abortions aka murder!

We will never accept Hillary Clinton as president, as millions of other Americans will not. How can anyone require truth from their child, employer or religious leader when a President HC is a known liar, thief and murderer? What a role model.

Trump’s campaign has been about exposing the treason, and corruption in our government that will bring America down to a third world country. He has opened the eyes of millions, and he will not abandon them and the sovereignty of the United States of America! Trump has one message for all Americans. Make America great again. Hillary has 2 messages. One for the people (Public-Stronger Together, ) and one for her donors (Private- I will keep borders open and you will get your cheap labor).

In the last few days the media will get more vicious. There will be more Trump trash. It is up to you to filter the trash.

The future of America is with We the People. Which America will you choose?

As for Neil and I, we are hiring a fighter for America not a scout leader. As for the trash, if America is no more, “What difference at this time does it make?”

A Vote for Trump is a vote for America. VOTE Nov 8. It is our job, our duty. Only We the People can save America.

Knowledge is Power!

50 State iVoter Guide to Inform Values Voters Released

WASHINGTON, D.C. /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Today, Family Research Council Action (FRC Action), announced a new voter tool, iVoter Guide, providing values voters with comprehensive information on all federal elections in all 50 states, and all statewide races in 9 states. The nine states included in this effort are: Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington state, and Wisconsin.  FRC Action plans to finish distributing over 4 million election guides prior to Election Day.

The voter guide rates the candidates in each race tracked by FRC Action on a scale of “very conservative,” “conservative,” “somewhat conservative,” “moderate,” “somewhat liberal,” “liberal,” and “very liberal.”

The voter guide was compiled using legislative vote ratings, campaign finance data, virtual vote ratings, endorsements from around 300 liberal and conservative organizations, and candidate issue surveys to determine how each candidate would potentially govern given publicly available data. The voter tool also includes a tool in which users can search their state and district candidates, find their polling location and share their research with others.

FRC Action president Tony Perkins commented:

Conservatives can’t afford to sit back and watch their country go over the edge with four more years of ultra-liberal policies under a Hillary Clinton presidency, a Democratic controlled House and Senate and Democratic controlled state level governments. For America, this cannot be an election about two people running for president. It’s about two fundamentally different visions for our country at the national and state levels. If polling has shown us anything, it’s how razor-thin the margin of victory may be. In a nation this divided, even one vote can make a difference.

The outcomes of this year’s elections will have a major impact on the future of religious liberty, family values, sanctity of life, and the Supreme Court. In 2012, there were 39 million voting-eligible Christians who did not vote. As we travel the nation, we are telling values voters this is not a time to stand on the sidelines.  If we, as values voters, do not stand up and exercise our freedoms now, we may lose them tomorrow.

The Left’s Lie: No One Gives a D*** About Blue Lives?

A few months ago, God laid it upon my heart to launch a Blue Lives Matter Celebration tour to dispel the evil myth that America’s cops murder blacks. This insidious lie is spread by the Left (Hillary, the Obama Administration, democrats, Hollywood and mainstream media). In essence, they have painted a bright red target on the backs of our brave men and women in blue who lay their lives on the line for us every day.

Stats confirm that blacks pose the largest threat to black lives, killing each other in consistently-growing epidemic record breaking numbers. Ironically, stats prove that cops are the biggest defenders of black lives. However, we seem to be living in a time in which facts and truth no longer matter in America; only narrative and political spin for evil political gain. http://bit.ly/2cCNPbq Screw the consequences and toll on human lives.

Our launch Blue Lives Matter event was top-shelf, a great production at the Ocean Convention Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. The mayor proclaimed it “Celebrate The Blue Day” in Daytona.

However, I must confess that I was extremely disappointed. In my mind, encouraging cops and pushing back against lies causing them to be assassinated was a no-brainer issue which everyone would rally behind.

Man, was I wrong. Shockingly, numerous powerful conservative media associates shied away from me. Local Republican, tea party and christian groups which I have had great relationships did not support my efforts for police. Being the overly responsible first born that I am, I took my colleagues’ rejection personal. Despite sending a zillion press releases, not one media outlet showed to cover our event. Though it was a struggle, thank God we raised $5000 to cover the cost of the event. Attendance for the debut event launching our Blues Lives Matter tour was low.

As I was leaving the convention center after packing up everything after the show (set pieces and a banner I painted), an elderly security guard scolded me, “You should have advertised young man! I saw nothing in the newspapers.” I smiled and got into my car.

Did I miss-read God’s leading, telling me to launch a Blue Lives Matter tour? Instantly, I thought, “Stop doubting. You read God correctly.” I thought about Noah who God told to build an ark on dry land. Just because God tells you to do something does not mean everyone is going to rally behind you.

Weeks later, I continued scratching my head wondering why so few seemed interested in supporting police.

Then, I learned of democrat sleaze operative, Bob Creamer’s Leftist tactical handbook, “Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win.” The book exposes how the Left floods the airways with lies to discourage and demonize conservative thought; convincing conservatives that they are the weirdo minority. So, this why so many are afraid to publicly support police.

Dispute the Left’s insidious evil con-game, I am extremely about this recent poll sighting a surge in Americans’ respect for police

Three in four Americans (76%) say they have “a great deal” of respect for police in their area, up 12 percentage points from last year.”

I am thankful that God blessed me with a great team of volunteers, speakers and entertainers who made our Blue Lives Matter tour launch a first-class event. They are pumped and ready to go to other states.

With the presidential election in a few weeks, I decided to focus on getting Trump elected. Then, we will plan our next Blue Lives event.

Joe “Super Cop” Sanchez sent me the following: NYPD/FDNY Retirees for Donald Trump.

“With the anti-cop “Blacks Lives Matter” movement and cop-basher Al Sharpton supporting Hillary Clinton for President, a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for Al Sharpton and the anti-cop “Black Lives Matter” movement.” 

Folks, I am fully committed to continuing God’s call to spread the truth about our heroes, America’s police. However, if there was any doubt about the dire-need for what I am doing, check out these attacks on police just in the last few months by shooters who boldly proclaim they “want to kill police officers.” I must remind you that Black Lives Matter has sent out a clarion call to their minions proclaiming it “open season” on killing police and white people

FILM: Sing a Little Louder — If not you then who?

sing-louder-posterA bully is an overbearing person (or persons) who is quarrelsome, and browbeats smaller or weaker people into submission. Each individual reading this immediately knows someone who has been bullied, or him/herself has been bullied. The memory and reality of such experience is shame producing and emotionally painful. Maybe it happened to you in school, maybe in later years during a marriage or even at work. The impressions left from such an experience can linger for years even decades unless a supernatural intervention occurs to make things right, to promote healing in the deeply embedded emotional wound, and to allow life to return from the shattered existence that has followed the person. Countries can be bullied, too. Much like an individual a country can become shattered and torn, a mere shell of its once dynamic life.

America has been bullied and shamed over the past eight years for sure, and a strong argument can be made to suggest ever since Ronald Reagan was President. With days remaining until the crucial national elections America is on the ropes in a fight with seemingly no rules for the aggressor(s), the bullies. Who are these bullies? How did they get to be bullies in the first place? The second question is easier to answer than the first. Bullies exist as unchecked overbearing bruits who pick on anyone who gets in their way or even if the victim doesn’t get in the way but is determined to be an easy mark, and can further enhance the image of the all-powerful bully. How the bully became a bully is a bit more complex and multidimensional, but one universal characteristic of a bully is that they want what they want, and they don’t much care how they get it just as long as they get what they want! Until they are stopped; until someone sets a boundary and enforces the boundary; until the bully either changes his ways or comes to realize there shall be certain consequences each and every time they act out their bully ways, the bully will continue, and even become more emboldened. Periodically a bully will attempt to sweet-talk his way or promise something in return for getting his way. More likely the bully simply, well, bullies his way including belittling and shaming his opponent, threatening whoever stands up to him, or actually taking aggressive actions to bring opposition to its’ knees. In between actual incidents the bully works a psychological game of intimidation to keep others in check from jumping in and stopping the order established by the bully.

Our country has fallen victim to the bully of political correctness and progressive/repressive Socialist agenda’s put forward by haters of anti-American principles and values as established by our Forefathers, and written clearly in the Founding Documents they presented to us as a gift. These bullies hate our Judeo-Christian heritage. These bullies hate the values by which America was born, and which made us exceptional. These bullies hate all who don’t think as they do, who don’t subscribe to their agenda in the national sandbox to which they have taken up residence as their own with no room for anyone they don’t like or cFILMan’t use to keep them in power. Money, control, furthering their beliefs at the expense of another’s freedom, changing/recreating the national sandbox into their own utopian place of being, dominating every aspect of not only the sandbox, but the entire playground surrounding the sandbox so as to be the undisputed authority. The bully, and his gang of like minded thugs, may smile and attempt to make nice but always with the motive of stomping and casting away opposition, thereby, promoting dominance of their wants, their agenda. America has been undergoing such a series of attacks to completely eliminate any resemblance of what our Founders strove to create. There is even subtle elimination of people built-into the present day bully game plan; coupled with destruction of property, wealth, health, business, dreams, family. Will Mr. Trump be the one who finally stands up to the bully, or is it a ground swell movement collecting strength from every sector of the national playground to confront and even defeat the bully?

Or will people simply sing a little louder to attempt and block out the sickening and heart wrenching noise of a nation on its’ way to death? Will you stand and begin the singing hoping to influence others to join you? If you don’t stand against the bully, even if it means getting a bloody nose, then who? And if you say not now, then when?

SING A LITTLE LOUDER Inspired by the true story of an elderly man who in his youth witnessed the horrors of the Jewish Holocaust from the pews of his Church. The 12-minute short film provides a stunning message for the twenty-first century and the current genocide that’s taking place with unborn children in America. This film was shot on location in Holland in August 2014 and is being used to help raise awareness for the one in five children who are aborted before they have a voice. Produced in Partnership with Catholic Witnesses.
