Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson recently shared his dramatic story of conversion and revealed why he believes America is in need of “God’s healing hands” more than ever before.
Speaking at LifePoint Assembly of God in Osceola, Iowa, on Sunday, Dr. Carson told the congregation that he grew extreme poverty in Detroit, Michigan, and was filled with anger and resentment, believing he would die at a young age. However, his life was completely changed after spending three hours locked in a bathroom one day, reading the book of Proverbs.
“When I came out, my temper was gone and I’ve never had a problem since,” The Des Moines Register quoted the retired neurosurgeon as saying.
In addition to Proverbs, Dr. Carson revealed that two other important books deeply influenced his life: Up from Slavery, an autobiography of Booker T. Washington, and the account of Joseph’s life in the Old Testament in the Bible.
“That really spoke volumes to my heart. Where you end up has a lot to do with the attitude you adopt in your life,” he told the congregation. (Read more from “Ben Carson Shares Dramatic Conversion Story, Reveals Why America Needs ‘God’s Healing Hands’ More Than Ever” HERE)
By Julie Bykowicz. Hillary Rodham Clinton told a cheering crowd at her largest rally so far that “the endless flow of secret, unaccountable money” must be stopped. Two weeks later, the main super PAC backing her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination accepted a $1 million contribution that cannot be traced.
The seven-figure donation, made June 29 to the pro-Clinton Priorities USA Action, came from another super political action committee, called Fair Share Action. Its two lone contributors are Fair Share Inc. and Environment America Inc., according to records filed with Federal Election Commission.
Those two groups are nonprofits that are not legally required to reveal information about their donors. Such contributions are sometimes called “dark money” by advocates for stricter campaign finance rules.
“This appears to be an out-and-out laundering operation designed to keep secret from the public the original source of the funds given to the super PAC, which is required to disclose its contributors,” said Fred Wertheimer, director of one such group, the Washington-based Democracy 21.
Wertheimer urged Priorities to return the money and said that Clinton should demand that the super PAC “publicly disclose all of the original sources of money” of any contribution it receives. (Read more from “Group Backing Clinton Gets $1M From Untraceable Donors” HERE)
By Hillary Chabot. Hillary Clinton will be greeted by grumpy Granite State Democrats today demanding additional debates beyond the limited six sanctioned showdowns recently released by the Democratic National Committee — and even top DNC officials agree.
A group of high-ranking New Hampshire Democrats wrote an open letter yesterday demanding more debates, and a supporter of front-runner Hillary Clinton and former NHDP chair Kathy Sullivan concurred.
“Six may be too few,” Sullivan told the Herald. “Personally I’d like to have a debate after Iowa and before the New Hampshire primary in New Hampshire. That’s not on the schedule. I’m a member of the DNC, so they’ll probably get upset with me for saying that, but that’s how I feel.”
The DNC confirmed a six-debate schedule last week that allows all five Democratic candidates to face off in key states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina starting on Oct. 13. But Gov. Martin O’Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders immediately took issue with the low number of debates — and other top Dems soon followed suit.
“It’s crazy. We need some action on our side. Six debates aren’t enough,” said Phil Johnston, former Massachusetts Democratic Party chairman, who pointed to the 24 million audience members who tuned in to the Republican debate last week. “That’s all you need to know.” (Read more from this story HERE)
By Walid Shoebat. To ISIS, the way to win is to establish themselves in Afghanistan since in Muslim Prophecy, the battle for Jerusalem stems from Khorasan (Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan …) with Muslims carrying the black flags. This is the spark to all Muslims that they must join the Jihad for Jerusalem.
Yesterday, ISIS did that and has released a new video showing how they exported their terror agenda all the way to Afghanistan as an initiation by ISIS to declare that Afghanistan (Islamic Khorasan) is now in the fold of ISIS. In this video, ten prisoners accused of collaborating with Pakistan’s ISI against ISIS, kneel over explosives, then detonated shattering them into pieces where ISIS tracks the flying fleshly debris on film . . .
[WARNING: extremely graphic content:]
The issue of ISIS showing this footage in Afghanistan is serious to prove that they have control in Taliban infested Afghanistan.
The issue of Afghanistan is the struggle between two Caliphs competing for recognition: Mullah Omar (Mullā Muḥammad ‘Umar Mujáhid is the supreme commander and the spiritual leader of the Taliban) and Caliph Baghdadi of ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Sickening Video Reveals Isis’s New Method of Execution: Ten Prisoners Made to Kneel Above Bombs That Have Been Buried in the Ground
By Tom Wyke. They have burnt men alive and drowned prisoners in metal cages but now ISIS have released a new video showing off their new horrific method of committing murder.
Filmed in an unknown location in Afghanistan, ISIS militants are shown burying several explosive charges beneath the ground before covering them with earth.
The ten prisoners are blindfolded and led up to where the bombs have been buried before they are forced to their knees. The bloodthirsty jihadis detonate the charges, killing all the prisoners.
All the victims are described as ‘apostates’, according to the ISIS video, which appeared on jihadi social media accounts last night.
It is believed the victims are from the Shinwari tribe and were accused of aiding the Taliban in the Afghan province of Nangarhar, where ISIS was recently expelled. (Read more from this story HERE)

A Jewish businessman is leading an effort to rescue Christian and Yazidi girls kidnapped by ISIS militants and sold as sex slaves in northern Iraq, U.K. based Catholic magazine The Tablet reported on Friday.
Steve Maman, 42, founded the Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq (CYCI) a year ago after ISIS jihadists took over the Iraqi cities of Mosul and Sinjar, forcing more than 100,000 civilians to flee. The Canada-based charity works closely with a team of negotiators, based inside ISIS-occupied areas, to reunite the kidnapped girls with their families. The group claims to have rescued more than 120 women so far . . .
“We liberate children from their captors through the use of on-the-ground brokers,” said Maman. His organization’s website says, “The price of a child’s life to remove them from the hands of ISIS is between $1000-$3000” . . .
CYCI also collaborates with Anglican Canon Andrew White’s Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, which provides shelter to those who have fled ISIS.
ISIS kidnapped 7,000 Yazidi women and girls into slavery last August, according to Tablet. An unknown number of Christian women and girls were also captured, and CYCI estimates that around 2,700 are still being held by the terror group. According to the charity’s website, the women and children, some as young as 8 years old, are held in horrible conditions and are often forced to sleep in cages. They are then “sold like cattle in markets” as sex slaves to ISIS fighters and militants.

Turkish police were searching Monday for a gunman who attacked the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul after a night of violence shook Turkey’s largest city.
A pair of assailants, a man and a woman, opened fire early Monday on the heavily fortified consulate building in the northern Sariyer district, leading to a shootout with police, authorities said.
No U.S. personnel were injured but the consulate announced that it was closing until further notice, according to Turkish media accounts.
The female assailant, who was wounded in the shootout, was captured by police in a nearby building, according to the official Andalou news agency.
The other attacker, a man, was still at large, authorities said. (Read more from “U.S. Consulate Building in Istanbul Targeted in Turkey Attacks” HERE)

With all the problems Egypt has, the last thing it needed was the Huffington Post. That’s like throwing rabid weasels on an oil fire and expecting anything good to happen. But you’ve gotta give Arianna Huffington credit. She knows how to shamelessly target her demo in every market. And apparently her demo in the Arabic Huffington Post is Al Qaeda.
But those Al Jazeera people are so nice? Everyone says they’re martyrs to press freedom. (Read more from “Arabic Huffington Post Hates Women, Gays and Jews” HERE)
Safety is always a priority, even in a state where the largest city has a population of less than 300,000 people. Living in an unsafe town can be a deal breaker for many families and since Alaska is made up of so many different towns, it’s always nice to know what some of the safest places to live really are.
According to the FBI crime rates from 2013, a little outdated but still mostly accurate, these are the 5 safest cities to live in in the state of Alaska.
1) Sitka
With a population of 9,093 there were only 7 violent crimes, 21 burglaries, and 1 report of arson in 2013! Not too bad at all.
2) Palmer
Palmer has a population of 6,453, the same as Bethel, with only half the amount of violent crimes, 20 to be exact, and 13 reports of burglary. (Read more from “Here Are the Safest and Most Peaceful Places to Live in Alaska” HERE)

By WND. Is America headed for an economic collapse?
If so, presidential candidates are remaining eerily quiet about what’s being described as “a huge disaster waiting to happen.”
The U.S. stock market is on the verge of a massive collapse, warned David Stockman, OMB director during the Reagan administration, on CNBC’s “Futures Now” program. He said the recent price action has him even more convinced than ever that the bottom is about to fall out.
Stockman believes the excessive monetary policy from central banks around the world has created a “debt supernova,” and all the signs point to “the end of the central bank enabled bubble,” which could cause a worldwide recession.
In fact, he said, there’s no way to roll back the artificially inflated bubbles the Federal Reserve has caused. (Read more from “GOP Stars Tight-Lipped on ‘Huge Disaster Waiting to Happen'” HERE)
Economic Reality Now Catching up to Market Fantasy
By Brandon Smith. In the mind of a schizophrenic person, internal elements of fantasy (negative and positive) are made manifest in the psyche and projected out onto the real world. Often, the daydream images of the mind are not merely images to them. Rather, what they imagine subconsciously becomes reality. Their faculties of observation become so limited, either due to a reaction to trauma or merely an inherent inability to cope, that they cannot decipher between fact and fiction. A person could go on like this for quite some time if all his needs are provided for by someone else. But the moment that support ends (and it will), the realities of necessity, not to mention supply and demand, take hold. One cannot live in a schizophrenic world indefinitely.
The current global mishmash of interdependent and socialized economies are, at bottom, schizophrenic. Our markets are not based in any fundamental reality. There is very little tangible foundation left to stand on, and this has been the case for several years. Yet some people might argue that since the derivatives crash of 2008, most of the world has continued to walk on air.
The power of fantasy is that it is self-perpetuating. Fantasies are fueled most commonly by misplaced hopes and unhealthy or unrealistic desires, and such things are darkly and grotesquely energizing. Fantasies can indeed keep economies around the world functionally alive even when they are clinically dead. But again, there is always an end.
Equities and commodities markets in particular have levitated despite economic fact that their fall will be ever more spectacular. That fall has now begun halfway through 2015 . . .
New signals of market crisis are generating every two to four weeks as we grind on toward the third quarter. This is in stark contrast to the heavily predictable market behavior of the past three years. I realize that we are experiencing a “slow boil” and that many people may not even be taking note of the exponential increase in negative economic signs, but really think about it: At the beginning of 2014, what was the general financial sentiment compared to today?

Hillary Clinton’s presidential polling numbers have taken a dramatic hit with the very demographic that was expected to lift her to the Democratic nomination and onward to the White House: white women.
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll reveals that Clinton’s approval among white women has dropped precipitously in a very short time, tanking by double-digit percentage points in a single month.
“In June, 44% of white women had a favorable view of Mrs. Clinton, compared to 43% who didn’t,” WSJ reports. “In July, those numbers moved in the wrong direction for Mrs. Clinton: Only 34% of white women saw her in a positive light, compared to 53% who had a negative impression of her, the poll found.”
The report describes the poll numbers as “a worrisome development” that puts Clinton at a profound disadvantage: having to play catch-up with a segment of the voter base that was supposed to be an assured win.

Believe it or not, Planned Parenthood has a Clergy Advocacy Board. And these clergy, in name only, claim Planned Parenthood employees are “doing God’s work.”
The Board released a statement (which has since been taken off of Planned Parenthood’s website) in response to what they describe is a Center for Medical Progress (CMP) “smear campaign” (planned-parenthood-clergy-advocacy-board-releases-response-to-smear-campaign”).
The video recordings expose Planned Parenthood employees discussing their enthusiastic efforts to illegally sell aborted baby parts. Some include whole baby bodies from partial birth abortions. One purchaser is Stem Express, “a multi-million dollar company that supplies human blood, tissue products, primary cells and other clinical specimens to biomedical researchers.”
Federal and state laws outlaw direct sales of body parts for profit. However, companies like Stem Express circumvent the law by donating to Planned Parenthood and only charging customers interested in purchasing specific fetal tissue and body parts for “processing and shipping fees.”
Buying and selling fetal tissue and baby parts is an enormously profitable business. Fetal tissue provides “a uniquely rich source of stem cells” that university laboratories and medical research facilities buy for a variety of purposes. Fetal liver cells, for example, range in price from $488 to $24,250.
Last year, the National Institutes of Health spent $76 million on research using fetal tissue—through grants it gave to more than 50 universities. Grant recipients included Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale and several branches of the University of California (Berkeley, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco).
As a result of CMP’s videos, more than 12 states and two U.S. House of Representative committees have launched investigations into Planned Parenthood’s practices. Recent efforts to halt federal funding of Planned Parenthood were derailed by Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Senate.
While the Advocacy board members (listed below) claim to be “faith leaders committed to justice, honesty, and liberty.” Their utmost concern, they emphasize, is “the decades-long campaign of harassment against Planned Parenthood and those they serve.” Harassment over what—dismembering babies or Planned Parenthood’s commitment to eugenics?
The board members write, “Our faiths demand care for those marginalized by poverty and other oppressions. Faith leaders have supported Planned Parenthood for nearly 100 years because of our shared goals: every person — regardless of income, race, or religion — deserves access to safe, affordable, high-quality health care.”
Yet, faith in what? Faith according to the Bible asserts no such thing. In fact, it is well known among Jews and Christians that killing a pregnant woman is considered a double homicide requiring legal justice (Exodus 21:22-25). Shedding innocent blood is condemned throughout the Bible also requiring legal justice (Deut. 19:10; 1 Sam. 19:5; Psalm 94:20-21; Proverbs 6:16-17; Isaiah 59:2-7).
Even Common Law and the U.S. Constitution illegalized abortion. The Founders specifically inserted “unalienable rights” knowing that human rights came from God alone, not manmade laws, because God authored every life in the womb (Job 31:15; Psalm 22:9-10; Isa. 44:2; 49:5; Jeremiah 1:4-5; Luke 1:15).
Their “shared goal” that every person have “access to affordable high-quality health care” is nonsensical. How can dead people receive such access?
They also mischaracterize Planned Parenthood as an indispensable provider of “high-quality care.” Yet, Planned Parenthood’s own records reveal it as a profit centered abortion business, not a healthcare provider. Its own 2013-2014 annual report figures reveal that 94 percent of Planned Parenthood’s “pregnancy services” were abortions.
The advocacy board also purports a blatant lie: that abortion providers offer “the best of what religious traditions do.” Yet, the “best of religious traditions” have always promoted life-giving efforts that contribute to human flourishing. Christians were the first to found hospitals, schools, orphanages and later adoption and foster parenting services—to help people live—because they understand God’s directive to “choose life” (Deut. 30).
Christian faith demands that every person—regardless of income, race, or religion— deserves the right to live. The Planned Parenthood clerics are not among them.
Planned Parenthood Advocacy Board Members support death over life and everything that the God of the Bible and Christianity do not. God’s work involves saving babies, not killing and selling them.
