North Korea Plans to Fire Multiple Missiles Into Waters Around Guam

/0 Comments/in , /by

North Korea stressed Thursday that President Donald Trump will only learn through a show of force.

Trump is “such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him,” North Korean state media reported.

The North Korean military is “seriously examining the plan for an enveloping strike at Guam through simultaneous fire of four Hwasong-12 intermediate-range strategic ballistic rockets in order to interdict the enemy forces on major military bases on Guam and to signal a crucial warning to the U.S.,” according to the Korean Central News Agency.

The military will report its plan to Kim Jong Un in mid-August and await his order. The missiles would reportedly splash down within a matter of miles of Guam. (Read more from “North Korea Plans to Fire Multiple Missiles Into Waters Around Guam” HERE)

Trump Official Attacked After Speaking Publicly About Christian Beliefs

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a recent interview with The New York Times, a newly appointed Trump administration official discussed President Donald Trump, her role in the White House and her personal religious beliefs.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, an evangelical Christian, told The Times that before every briefing, she reads from a book of Christian devotionals.

She also admitted that she has not always approved of some of Trump’s comments, but said “we were looking for a commander in chief, not a pastor.”

“Oftentimes, people want to make politicians perfect,” she said. “And that’s one of the actual beauties of Christianity, is understanding that no one is.”

But after the interview was published, many on Twitter attacked Sanders for her faith.

Meanwhile, internet commenters labeled her as a “Jesus junkie” and a “fake Christian.”

Sanders, 34, is just the third female White House press secretary in history. She also has three young children.

“As a working mom, it’s not lost on me what a great honor and privilege it is to stand here at the podium,” Sanders said last month at a press briefing.

According to former George W. Bush administration press secretary Scott McClellan, Sanders has a difficult job.

“It’s a challenging position under any president, much more so under President Trump,” he said.

“She can help the president advance his agenda and broaden his appeal beyond his base, if — and it’s a big ‘if’ — he will avoid undermining her.”

Sanders is also the daughter of former pastor, governor of Arkansas and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who thinks she is perfect for the job.

“When most 9-year-olds were jumping rope, she was sitting at the kitchen table listening to people like Dick Morris (a Republican strategist) explain poll results and plan TV ads,” Huckabee told the Northwest Florida Daily News. “She can handle it. She is tough, seasoned, and smart.”

“Her detractors will likely underestimate her, and that will be their undoing. The toughest part of her job is the incredible bias the press operates with and their outright disdain of this president,” he said.

Dems So Confused, They Have A Platoon Of Candidates Running For The Same Position

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are 11 Democrats running in the same Michigan state legislature election Tuesday, continuing a trend of the party fielding a steep number candidates for certain races.

The seat is in a strongly Democratic district, meaning whoever wins the Democratic primary Tuesday is likely to claim the seat in November when the general election is held.

The state seat was made available after Rep. Brian Banks was forced to resign as part of a plea deal following his conviction on three separate felony charges. Authorities charged him after he provided false information in an attempt to secure a loan, according to the Detroit CBS affiliate.

Banks officially resigned in February, and 11 Democrats signed on to compete for his seat in the strong Democratic neighborhood of Michigan’s 1st state legislative district. (Read more from “Dems So Confused, They Have a Platoon of Candidates Running for the Same Position” HERE)

Ivanka’s Lawyer Has Suddenly Become Bad News for Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jamie Gorelick, the Hillary Clinton-supporting superlawyer representing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, is now working pro bono for the city of Chicago in its lawsuit against the Department of Justice.

Chicago is suing the DOJ over President Trump’s policies regarding federal grants for so-called sanctuary cities. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced last month that cities that receive federal crime-fighting grants must also cooperate with U.S. immigration agencies regarding illegal aliens.

But Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says that the Windy City will not comply with the order. He announced a lawsuit on Monday.

According to CNN, Gorelick — a partner at Wilmer Hale — is one of the attorneys representing Chicago. (Read more from “Ivanka’s Lawyer Has Suddenly Become Bad News for Trump” HERE)

Illegal Cellphones Are Being Used to Assassinate Police Officers and Their Families

/0 Comments/in , /by

The assassin broke through the front door shouting “police” as Capt. Robert Johnson of Bishopville, S.C. was getting ready for work early in the morning March 5, 2010.

Johnson, a prison guard at the Lee Correctional Institution (LCI), immediately knew two things: He had to get the assassin’s attention in order to protect his wife — sleeping quietly in the nearby bedroom — and the hit was undoubtedly connected to a strange visitor he encountered the evening prior . . .

The hit was connected to the massive influx of contraband cellphones in Johnson’s prison, where he’d worked for 15 years. Prisoners smuggle these phones into the correctional facilities so inmates running gang-related activities can still call the shots on the outside. They put them in inmates’ rectums, hollowed-out Bibles, or footballs thrown over a fence, bandages and prosthetic legs, and anything else they can think of to get the phone to the inside.

The problem is quickly becoming pervasive in America’s prison system, and regulators are starting to catch on. But as the bureaucratic processes move at a snail’s pace, corrections officers like Johnson have become targets for hitmen.

Muslim Firebrand Urges Armed Uprising Against U.S. ‘Oppressors’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Muslim agitator Sekou Odinga spoke recently at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York, a place where students presumably go to learn about American law and order based on the U.S. Constitution . . .

The community organizer received applause at several points during his speech titled “Minorities and immigrant communities in the U.S. have a right to armed struggle and self-determination.”

Odinga, born Nathanial Burns, joined the Black Panthers in the 1960s and later the Black Liberation Army. He was convicted in a 1984 trial of attempted murder of six police officers related to his role in the deadly Brinks Armored Car robbery in New York. He was released from federal prison in November 2014 after serving 30 years of a 40-year federal and 50-year state sentence . . .

He inadvertently admitted that the generous U.S. immigration system has helped create nations within a nation of unassimilated, “oppressed nations.” These are the people he believes will help spark a revolution to take down the government and replace it with something more “just.”

“The internally oppressed nations, the indigenous people, New Africans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Hawaiians, etc., have the right to freedom and self-determination,” he said. “They have a right to struggle, using whatever tactics and strategies, armed and otherwise, for their self-defense and liberation.” (Read more from “Muslim Firebrand Urges Armed Uprising Against U.S. ‘Oppressors'” HERE)

Statue of Liberty Now Goes Muslim in Congress

/0 Comments/in , /by

A portrayal of the Statue of Liberty as a Muslim woman – on display in the office of U.S. Rep. Lou Correa, D-Calif. – is drawing a rebuke from former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The image first was questioned by an activist organization called We the People Rising, which asked Correa to remove it . . .

The image, from a high-school student, is part of an art competition, and it shows the Statue of Liberty wearing a hijab, holding a torch across the left side of her body, not the ordinary aloft position signaling a light for freedom.

“While the painting is simply a piece of art created by a local female high school student, its symbolism is clearly political. It evokes imagery similar to other works of art that have circulated since President Trump’s election, such as the popular ‘We The People’ poster of a woman wearing an American flag as a hijab,” the Washington Post documented.

Now Palin has joined the conversation, tweeting, “‘Statue of Liberty’ Painting Found In Congressman’s Office, Then America Spots Something Unusual,” she said. (Read more from “Statue of Liberty Now Goes Muslim in Congress” HERE)

Professor Who Made Death Threat Against Trump Won’t Be Returning to Class

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The professor who tweeted “[President] Trump must hang” and “justice = the execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant” will not be returning to teach in the fall, according to a Saturday report.

California State University, Fresno President Joseph Castro announced that history professor Lars Maischak would not be returning to teach at the school in the fall semester, according to The Los Angeles Times. But while the professor will not be returning to campus, his contract does not expire until May 2018, and he is tasked with converting 2 courses into online formats.

“Has anyone started soliciting money and design drafts for a monument honoring the Trump assassin, yet?” Maischak asked in another since-deleted statement, first reported by The Daily Caller News Foundation in April.

“Dr. Lars Maischak, Fresno State History lecturer, will not be teaching this fall,” said Castro in a Friday statement. “In accordance with California State University, Fresno’s contractual obligation, Dr. Maischak has been assigned to convert two courses to an online format which meets his unit requirement per the faculty collective bargaining unit agreement.” (Read more from “Professor Who Made Death Threat Against Trump Won’t Be Returning to Class” HERE)

Evidence of Biblical Creation From Surprising Source

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Some among modern people regard the book of Genesis as a “myth,” but what if evidence exists for the creation story beyond the Bible? . . .

In the new book “Genesis Characters and Events in Ancient Greek Art,” Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr., outlines the plethora of evidence in Greek art that backs the Genesis story.

According to Johnson, “Ancient Greek religious art boasts of the triumph of the way of Cain over Noah and his God-fearing offspring after the flood, telling the same story as the early chapters of the book of Genesis.”

“The Greeks remembered the original paradise calling it the Garden of the Hesperides, always depicting it with a serpent-entwined apple tree. The book of Genesis doesn’t say what kind of fruit it was: It’s from the Greek tradition we get the idea that Eve ate an apple,” Johnson continues.

The evidence for Johnson’s claims are vast: numerous works of art and Greek legends mirror the account found in Genesis. (Read more from “Evidence of Biblical Creation From Surprising Source” HERE)

Highest Credit Card Debt Level in History

/0 Comments/in , /by

American consumers just hit a scary milestone.

They now collectively have the most outstanding revolving debt — often summarized as credit card debt — in U.S. history, according to a report Monday released by the Federal Reserve. Americans had $1.021 trillion in outstanding revolving credit in June 2017. This beats the previous record in April 2008, when consumers had a collective $1.02 trillion in outstanding credit revolving credit.

“This record should serve as a wake-up call to Americans to focus on their credit card debt,” said Matt Schulz, a senior industry analyst at CreditCards.com, a credit card website. “Even if you feel your debt is manageable right now, know that you could be one unexpected emergency away from real trouble.”

Revolving credit had been growing at an annual growth rate of 4.9%. One reason: More consumers are getting access to credit cards backed by major banks and issuers in recent months. More than 171 million consumers had access to those cards in the first quarter of 2017, the highest number that has had access since 2005, when about $162.5 million people had access.
