A 12-year-old Honduran boy seeking asylum in the United States has been “lost” in the system, illustrating what immigration experts say is a widespread problem of the government failing to keep track of the large number of vulnerable children flooding across the border.
The case of missing child [Walter] has been brought to light in a lawsuit filed in federal district court in Columbia, South Carolina, that names Gov. Nikki Haley, the S.C. Department of Social Services, Lutheran Services and World Relief among the defendants. World Relief is a division of the National Association of Evangelicals and, like the Lutherans and Catholics, is heavily involved in the resettlement of refugees and asylum seekers, getting paid handsomely to perform one of the government’s most secretive and cash-rich operations under the guise of humanitarianism, the suit claims. . .
The federal government has been “rubber stamping” the asylum applications of tens of thousands of child migrants like Walter since 2014, says Lauren Martel, the attorney representing [the plaintiff taxpayer] in the case. Their asylum applications are rushed through the system without taking time to ensure the children’s safety. . .
“There’s a 12-year-old boy out there somewhere who is unaccounted for and we only know about him because a lawyer in the Family Court of Beaufort County didn’t redact his name [on court documents],” Martel told WND. “So now he could be part of the sex trade industry for all we know. Nobody can tell us anything” . . .
“They do not routinely do background checks or determine that the person claiming them is capable, responsible, law-abiding or even financially able,” Vaughan said. “There are more than 10,000 kids who are here now without family members, and most of them are unaccounted for.” (Read more from “Lawsuit Filed Over Feds, Refugee Groups Losing 10,000+ Refugee Children, Possibly to Sex Trade or Worse” HERE)

Hillary Clinton is telling voters she wants “to build on” Obamacare. But President Obama’s signature healthcare law remains highly unpopular because many Americans believe it’s not a good deal for them personally.
The president essentially laid out a case for his own law’s failures in an article he wrote for the Journal of the American Medical Association.
He wrote: “too many Americans still strain to pay for their physician visits and prescriptions, cover their deductibles, or pay their monthly insurance bills; struggle to navigate a complex, sometimes bewildering system; and remain uninsured.”
It was a striking concession. It also shows that the president still has no idea how much damage he’s done to Americans’ healthcare:
1. “too many Americans still strain to pay for their physician visits and prescriptions…” Drug costs have risen dramatically over the past few years. According to a report last fall from Emory University, the people insured through Obamacare are hit especially hard. Out-of-pocket expenses for medications in a typical Obamacare silver plan are twice as high as they are in the average employer-sponsored plan.
Obamacare insurance also tends to have more restrictions on the doctors patients can see. People may try to get an appointment with their family doctor, only to be told, “Sorry, we don’t take Obamacare.” They can get hit with a huge bill for a routine office visit that’s now “out-of-network.”
2. “cover their deductibles…” In a recent poll, two-thirds of Americans said they would have trouble coming up with the money to cover a $1,000 emergency. The average silver plan in the Obamacare exchanges this year has a deductible of more than $3,000. Some Obamacare plans next year will have deductibles as high as $7,000.
If you have to switch insurance in the middle of the year, you could find that you have already paid thousands of dollars toward your deductible, only to have to start over again with a new insurer. This is the situation facing 72,000 people in Illinois and Ohio whose taxpayer-supported health insurance co-ops collapsed over the past few months.
Similarly, you may have to find new doctors or hospitals where your new Obamacare insurance is accepted.
3. “pay their monthly insurance bills…” Even President Obama hasn’t been able to ignore the headlines about skyrocketing premiums. Insurers across the country expect to raise their prices an average of 23 percent next year.
The Obama administration predicts that health spending in America will reach a record high of more than $10,000 per person this year. Under Obamacare, millions of people are paying more of this cost themselves.
4. “struggle to navigate a complex, sometimes bewildering system…” America’s healthcare system was complicated before Obamacare. The healthcare law took that complexity to a new level. The law was more than 2,000 pages long. Rules and regulations associated with it run to about 30,000 pages.
Ever since the failed launch of healthcare.gov in 2013, the annual ritual of signing up for Obamacare has been a nightmare. Families often have no idea if their doctor will accept their insurance from one year to the next. They also have new paperwork to fill out for the IRS.
The administration also recommends you do hours of research every fall and to switch plans and possibly doctors.
5. “and remain uninsured.” President Obama could have said from the start that the law’s only real goal was to cover people who didn’t have health insurance. He could have admitted that doing this would create more chaos, higher costs and worse care for American families.
The law still would have fallen short. About 29 million people in America still don’t have insurance. Last year, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that 21 million people would enroll in coverage through the Obamacare exchanges this year. The number is actually 11 million.
President Obama has finally acknowledged some of the ways his law is failing the American people. Hillary Clinton and Democrats in Washington continue to promise that they can fix Obamacare if we just allow them to make it bigger, costlier and more complex.
That’s simply not going to work. The only way to fix Obamacare is to end it and replace it with patient-centered care. (For more from the author of “DESTROYER-IN-CHIEF: Obama Finally Admits He “Accidentally” Shredded U.S. Healthcare” please click HERE)
By Megan Cassidy. A federal judge on Friday referred Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and three of his aides to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, requesting that they be prosecuted for criminal contempt of court.
The landmark decision comes after U.S. District Court Judge G. Murray Snow found that Arpaio intentionally violated various orders rooted in an 8-year-old racial-profiling case.
The judge’s order also refers Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan, Arpaio’s former defense attorney Michele Iafrate, and Capt. Steve Bailey for prosecutors to consider criminal contempt charges against them as well.
The sheriff and Sheridan already have been held in civil contempt of court. Potential penalties are steeper in a criminal case, and only criminal contempt could result in incarceration.
“Criminal contempt serves to vindicate the Court’s authority by punishing the intentional disregard for that authority,” Snow wrote in his Friday order. (Read more from “Federal Judge Continues Persecution of Sheriff Arpaio, Seeks Criminal Contempt Against Joe and His Defense Attorney” HERE)

Sheriff Joe Reveals the Donald Trump the Establishment Doesn’t Want You to Know
By Lee Stranahan. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in June, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio presents the side of Donald Trump the media is desperately trying to hide: his decency as a human being and how he is different from other politicians.
Both the leftist media and establishment GOP pundits spent months trying to portray Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a monster, calling him a misogynist, a racist, and “Hitler.” After Trump’s blockbuster speech in Charlotte, North Carolina last night showed that Trump is both caring and tough, expect the media to go into overdrive laying down more dishonest narratives about who Donald Trump really is.
In the first major address given by Trump since former Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon took the reins of the Trump campaign, The Donald showed that you can be passionate about America, compassionate about people, but still tough-as-nails honest about what it’s going to take to restore America’s greatness.

…The rising number of attacks on Jews and synagogues in recent years has been well documented, but it has nothing to do with terrorism and certainly not Islamic terrorism, French authorities say.
The latest attack came in Strasbourg, France, where an Orthodox Jewish rabbi was attacked in broad daylight Friday and left hospitalized by a knife-wielding Muslim yelling “Allahu Akbar!”
The incident was immediately scrubbed by French police as “not terrorism related” in what has become a pattern across Europe, Canada and the United States.
Instead of calling it terrorism, the authorities initially refer to the assailant as mentally ill or “suffering from psychiatric issues,” as the Daily Mirror reported on the latest incident, which took place just outside the rabbi’s home about 500 yards from the main synagogue in the city’s Jewish quarter.
As recently as Aug. 11, a woman ran over two police officers in Montreal with her car while yelling “Allah!” and she was also deemed mentally ill by Canadian authorities, CIJ News reported. (Read more from “Another ‘Mentally Ill’ Muslim Excused for Stabbing Spree” HERE)
Despite massive flooding in Louisiana that has killed 13 people and left thousands homeless, President Obama has continued to enjoy a vacation at Martha’s Vineyard rather than cutting it short to tour the damage and lend support to those in need.
Sitting U.S. presidents have historically responded when disasters strike the homeland, and failing to do so quickly has drawn harsh criticisms for some of them, both from the media and rival politicians.
When President George W. Bush waited two days before cutting his vacation short to tour the damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he was portrayed as uncaring and inept.
One of the president’s fiercest critics was Sen. Barack Obama.
The Washington Examiner detailed Thursday how in 2005, Obama slammed Bush for his response after Katrina ripped through New Orleans, leaving thousands stranded in high waters.
“I can say from personal experience over the last week, how frustrating it has been, how unconscionable it has been to be unable to find somebody in charge so that we can get medical supplies, doctors, nurses and other supplies down to the affected areas quickly enough,” the senator said.
“We’re going to have to do some hard thinking about how we could have failed our fellow citizens so badly, and how we will prevent such failures from ever occurring again,” Obama declared.
Three years later, when Obama was campaigning for president, he said, “Because when the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast extended their hand for help, help was not there. When people looked up from the rooftops, for too long, they saw an empty sky. When the winds blew and the floodwaters came, we learned that for all of our wealth and our power, something wasn’t right with America.”
He continued to decry “a president who only saw the people from the window of an airplane, instead of down here on the ground trying to provide comfort and aid.”
The media coverage of Obama’s vacation also differs greatly from what Bush faced after Katrina.
Fox News noted Thursday that Bush was “torn to shreds in 2005 by mainstream media commentators for his initial response to Hurricane Katrina – yet President Obama’s detached response to the recent Louisiana floods has been met with resounding silence from those same outlets.”
The report said that media coverage at the time “not only criticized Bush for the difficulties the federal government faced in responding to the disaster, but also lambasted him for taking too long to return from vacation and to visit the site on the ground.”
Fox pointed to a 2005 news analysis in USA Today that declared, “President Bush has shown that he can be empathetic, sensitive and decisive. But those qualities eluded him for days after Hurricane Katrina, and the lapse could become a defining moment of his White House tenure.”
The Washington Post also railed against Bush’s Katrina response, calling it the second-worst moment of his presidency.
“Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was the last straw for Bush’s second term, with his widely criticized handling of the recovery pretty much precluding him from any kind of success in his final years in office,” the Post wrote.
Fox noted that “such concerns have been almost entirely absent from media coverage of the Louisiana floods in recent days.”
One media outlet that has had strong words for Obama is the Advocate newspaper in Baton Rouge, site of some of the worst flooding.
In an editorial Wednesday, it urged the president to cut short his vacation at “a playground for the posh and well-connected” and instead visit “the most anguished state in the union.”
The Advocate said that “a disaster this big begs for the personal presence of the president at ground zero. In coming here, the president can decisively demonstrate that Louisiana’s recovery is a priority for his administration – and the United States of America.” (For more from the author of “Obama’s Harsh Words for George W.

According to notes provided to Congress by the FBI, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claimed that former Secretary of State Colin Powell had advised her to rely on a private email address for nonclassified communication.
The conversation supposedly took place during a 2009 dinner party at the home of Madeleine Albright. According to Clinton, Powell discussed the multiple benefits of using private email to handle certain work-related tasks.
The New York Times reported on the conversation Thursday, citing an excerpt from an upcoming book by journalist Joe Conason titled Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton.
“Toward the end of the evening, over dessert, Albright asked all of the former secretaries to offer one salient bit of counsel to the nation’s next top diplomat,” Conason wrote. “Powell told her to use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer.”
But on Friday, Powell said that no such conversation regarding the usage of private email to conduct business had taken place.
“General Powell has no recollection of the dinner conversation,” the former secretary of state’s office said in a statement.
Powell’s office did clarify that at one point he sent an email to Clinton describing the benefits of using personal email for certain intradepartmental communications.
“He did write Secretary Clinton an email memo describing his use of his personal AOL email account for unclassified messages and how it vastly improved communications within the State Department,” the statement said.
Clinton has referred to Powell in order to justify setting up her own email server. But the differences between the two are stark: Powell used a commercial account while Clinton set up a private network, and Powell sent only two emails that were retroactively classified at the lowest level, while Clinton sent more than 1,000 that were classified.
House Republicans have officially requested that the Department of Justice investigate whether Clinton committed perjury while testifying before Congress about the email scandal.
Among other things, they cite her claim that “there was nothing marked classified on my emails, either sent or received.”
FBI Director James Comey said last month that some of the emails found on Clinton’s private server were in fact marked that they contained classified information and were so marked at the time they were handled by Clinton.
Although the FBI did not recommend that Clinton be prosecuted, Comey rebuked her for her extremely careless handling of classified information. (For more from the author of “Colin Powell Denies He Had Conversation With Hillary Clinton About Private Email” please click HERE)

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took a timeout from campaigning to visit flood victims in Baton Rouge, La.
His campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told reporters that the visit was to “help people on the ground” with “no press allowed.” She said the move was nonpolitical and would show Trump’s more “presidential” side.
However, Trump did take a moment at Greenwell Springs Baptist Church to slam President Obama for not showing up and offering assistance.
“The president said he doesn’t want to go, he’s trying to get out of a golf game,” Trump said.
Evangelist Tony Perkins, whose own home was flooded, joked that the reason was that Obama was trying to stay “under par while we’re underwater.”
“He’ll never be under par,” Trump quipped back.
Some media outlets, however, criticized the GOP nominee for not doing enough to help. They highlighted a moment caught on camera in which the real estate mogul was seen unloading toys for flood victims.
Tommy Christopher of Mediaite sarcastically put “helping out” in quotes, saying that Trump assisted people “by unloading a truckload of toys for 49 seconds.”
Others echoed that sentiment on Twitter.
Guess How Much Time Donald Trump Spent 'Helping Out' Louisiana Flood Victims
Trump spent the rest of his trip visiting various locations. He and his running mate, former Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, traveled across flood-ravaged areas through East Baton Rouge and Ascension parishes.
Church maintenance supervisor Terry Phinney said he was happy with the candidate’s visit, telling reporters that “it was a good little boost for folks who are tired.”
Phinney was no fan of Trump before the visit. However, after he saw that the GOP nominee was genuinely concerned about the situation and seeking to educate himself on the damage, he changed his stance.
“He wanted to know percentages of homes damaged in the area, around about how many would have flood insurance,” Phinney said.
Overall, Trump was very well received by the locals, with a number of people commenting positively on his visit.
Jeff Nolan, who lost his home in the flood, met the candidate at the church and had him sign the back of his shirt.
Nolan said it meant “everything” to him that Trump came to Louisiana to see the damage and relief efforts first-hand.
“Trump is the man,” he said. “He’s the real deal.”
Pam West, who had to be rescued from her flooded home, also came to see Trump and said his visit was “awesome.”
“Our own dear president is too busy at Martha’s Vineyard to visit us,” she said.
Obama, who declined to cut short his vacation to tour Louisiana and offer support, announced after Trump’s visit that he too would travel to the area next week.
So far the flooding has killed 13 people, and more than 70,000 have registered for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. (For more from the author of “Trump Criticized for Not Helping Enough in Baton Rouge” please click HERE)

Jesus has been looming over the Rio games. And we don’t just mean the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue towering over the city. His presence has been felt in expressions of Christian faith by many of the athletes competing in the Olympics, though you’d be hard-pressed to find it breaking through the mainstream media coverage of the games.
In most instances, reporters would rather try catching a javelin with their bare hands then catch themselves quoting athletes expressing their joy in the Lord. Video highlights seem to cut away from the medal-winner just as they get to praising Jesus. Even Simone Biles saying Tuesday night she wanted to see Christ the Redeemer seemed to throw NBC’s Bob Costas for a loop. He offered a startled and odd “oh,” and an awkward, rapid change of subject.
By contrast, it’s amusing to watch the mainstream media fawn over Muslim fencer Ibtijah Muhammad, who was wildly heralded for being the first American Olympian to wear a hijab while competing. On Saturday, when America medaled in the women’s team sabre event, the AP story opened, “Ibtihaj Muhammad came to the Olympics determined to show the world that Muslim-American women can excel in sports. Muhammed will return home to New Jersey with proof she was right.”
Did anyone really need proof? Do her teammates — who remain unnamed in the article — have the right to feel like chopped liver?
Muslim Fencer Scores Media Victory Over Christian and Jewish Gymnasts
The media fixated on Muhammad’s Muslim faith the second she stepped onto the fencing strip for the individual sabre competition. Newsbusters’ Katie Yoder did some calculating. As of last Friday, American television networks dedicated 13 minutes, 25 seconds to Muhammad simply because she was the first American Olympian to wear a hijab.
By contrast, says Yoder, “When the U.S. women’s gymnastics landed a gold medal Tuesday evening, the broadcast networks spent 22 minutes, 35 seconds celebrating the win and interviewing the girls. Only 0.6 percent of the coverage mentioned the girls’ faith, even though several of them clearly expressed that God was their inspiration for competing.”
Now, as a former fencer, watching any fencer get national attention is worth a crisp salute. But Muhammad getting 100 times more attention for being a Muslim than the “Final Five” got for their faith should earn the media a major point deduction.
Still, the Light has found a way to shine. Here are just a few examples:
Faith of “The Final Five” on Display
Monday morning, as she prepared to compete on the balance beam, 16-year-old Laurie Hernandez tweeted out Isaiah 40:31:
I don’t know how anybody could walk — let alone flip, flop and fly — on a 4″-wide elevated piece of wood without feeling at least a little faint. But Hernandez did “soar on wings like eagles,” and earned a silver medal. In the ensuing hoopla, she found time to praise Hillsong United’s “Touch the Sky.”
Hillsong Young & Free is just one of the Christian artists on the Olympic training playlist teammate Gabby Douglas shared with Billboard magazine right before the Games. Unfortunately, Gabby Douglas has had an Olympic experience filled with more lament than celebration. Cruel attacks on her looks, her demeanor, even her patriotism devastated the regal 2012 Olympic darling. She told the media Tuesday the comments were “really hurtful,” and as ESPN reported, she then walked down a hallway, “stood in a corner, facing a wall, and had a good, long cry.” Very few people approached her. Hopefully, one of the songs on her Billboard list came to her heart: “You’ll Never Be Alone.”
By Wednesday, it appears Gabby was itching to soar again.
American runner Abbey D’Agostino knows the presence of God in the midst of pain. Her inspirational example of the Olympic spirit has made headlines across the globe. Abbey was competing in a 5,000-meter qualifier Tuesday when she got tangled with New Zealand’s Nikki Hamblin. Both women crashed to the ground. Abbey scrambled to her feet to continue racing, but stopped cold when she saw Nikki was still crumpled on the track. Abbey reached for her competitor, helped her up and urged the New Zealander to keep running.
Both completed the race. However, Abbey was carted off the track in a wheelchair. Somehow, maybe you can say miraculously, she had finished the final 2,000 meters despite suffering a torn ACL and strained MCL in her right knee. (For you metric-phobes, that’s 1.25 miles.)
Despite the stop, despite the injury, Abbey has no regrets. And you have to hear why. “Although my actions were instinctual at that moment, the only way I can and have rationalized it is that God prepared my heart to respond that way,” said the 24-year-old Christian. “This whole time here, he’s made clear to me that my experience in Rio was going to be about more than my race performance — and as soon as Nikki got up I knew that was it.”
According to the race results, Abbey D’Agostino finished in 29th place. Yet even Michael Phelps is no greater a champion.
“We Just Let His Presence Come Upon Us”
American women’s hurdlers are leaving Rio with the bling. Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin earned gold, silver and bronze in the 100-meter hurdles; the first time a single nation has swept the medals since 1972. And to Him they gave the glory.
“I just kept God first and just continued to let Him guide me through the rounds,” Rollins said, “We formed a prayer circle this morning and we just let His presence come out here and continue to glorify him and do the best that we can and that’s what we did.”
“We Are Winners Because of This World”
Finally, we started out by saying the mainstream media appears to be downplaying the importance of Christian faith to many of the athletes. So we do have to credit NBC where credit’s due, as in their story “Divers Johnson and Boudia rely on faith to put minds at ease,” about Olympic silver medalists Steele Johnson and David Boudia.
But we close with an inspirational moment that NBC didn’t quite get. Go to NBCOlympics.com and you’ll find a video titled “Fiji rugby players sing after winning gold.” The full caption accompanying the video reads, “The Figi men’s rugby team sang in celebration after winning the gold medal.” Oh, NBC, it was much more. They sang alright. They sang like David sang.
This was the first Olympic gold medal Fiji has won in that nation’s entire history, and the Fiji rugby 7 were singing about the King. It’s a gospel hymn called “E Da SA Qaqa.” Translation: “We Are Winners Because Of This World.”
The lyrics:
“We have overcome,
We have overcome.
By the blood of the lamb in the Word of the Lord
We have overcome.”

Have you wondered how big our federal debt really is?
Well, thanks to an array of awesome investment themed maps published by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, you can take a look for yourself.
According to the chart below, there is currently $60 trillion in outstanding public debt — or in other words, the combined debts of all the world’s governments.
Sadly, among the great accomplishments of the United States — world superpower, first to conquer outer space, historic experiment in democracy, shining city on the hill, etc etc — the U.S. is also renowned for owning the largest share of that world’s debt.
That’s not something we should be proud of.
Even worse, the U.S. holds 29 percent of all world government debt but makes up 23 percent of the world economy. That means we owe more than we’re putting out in value. Or, put another way, our collective mouth is writing checks that our collective funds can’t cash.
Today, the U.S. government has more than $19.42 trillion in outstanding debt. That amounts to more than $60,000 per person living in America. Or, put differently, that’s $140,000 per taxpayer — those who are truly on the hook for paying off what our government has spent “for our benefit.”

Friday, a federal judge instructed Hillary Clinton to answer questions from a conservative watchdog group about her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state, reports Fox News.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order as part of a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. The group had sought to question Clinton under oath and in person, but the judge ruled she would only have to answer questions in writing.
FBI Director James Comey announced last month that the agency would not seek criminal charges against Clinton after an investigation into her email use, although he concluded she been “extremely careless” in her handling of sensitive material.
Judicial Watch’s Director of Investigations Chris Farrell said that while they would have preferred to have Clinton answer questions in person, the decision represented a victory for the organization.
“Judicial Watch will get Clinton under oath regarding the set-up of her outlaw server – something no other person, organization or agency has been ableto do, to date,” said Farrell.
“We believe it is a victory for law and order to get Hillary Clinton under oath answering questions about the server setup and why she did it.”
Judge Sullivan said Judicial Watch must submit its questions to Clinton by Oct. 14. Clinton will have 30 days to respond. Judicial Watch has until mid-October to submit their questions to Clinton before she could delay her answers past the November election.
