Trump: Christianity ‘Under Siege’ [+video]

/7 Comments/in , /by

By Jordain Carney. GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump touted his faith at Liberty University on Monday, telling the conservative college that Christians have to ban together because their religion “is under siege.”

“We’re going to protect Christianity,” he said. “If you look at what’s going on throughout the world…Christianity is under siege.”

Trump pointed to targeting of Christians by terrorist groups in Syria and urged Christians to work together to use their “power” within the United States to enact change.

He added that “I’m a Protestant. I’m very proud of it, Presbyterian to be exact. …[but] bad things are happening, very bad things are happening.”

The speech comes on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and Trump dedicated what he called a record-breaking crowd to the late civil rights leader. (Read more from “Trump: Christianity ‘Under Siege'” HERE)

Donald Trump Misquotes Bible in Liberty Speech

By Jeremy Diamond. Donald Trump pitched himself Monday to Christian students at Liberty University as a politically incorrect protector of Christianity, tailoring his classic stump speech to the evangelical audience with mixed success . . .

But Trump, who has eagerly targeted evangelicals — a key voting bloc in the first caucus state of Iowa — in his quest for the presidency, tripped over himself Monday as he attempted to quote from the Bible to connect with the crowd of students at one of the most prominent Christian universities in the country, and the largest in the world.

“Two Corinthians, 3:17, that’s the whole ballgame,” Trump said, drawing laughter from the crowd of students at Liberty University who knew Trump was attempting to refer to “Second Corinthians.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Misquotes Bible in Liberty Speech” HERE)

Cruz: We Will Accept Refugees as Long As… [+video]

/2 Comments/in , /by

“If I’m elected president, we will not let in refugees from countries controlled by ISIS or Al Qaida,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said at Thursday’s night’s debate in South Carolina.

Although Cruz was the first candidate to be asked about refugees, all of the candidates weighed in, and their responses are included below.

Cruz said he understands why Donald Trump called for a ban on all Muslim immigrants “until we can figure out what’s going on,” as Trump put it.

“You know, I understand why Donald made the comments he did, and I understand why Americans are feeling frustrated and scared and angry when we have a president who refuses to acknowledge the threat we face and even worse, who acts as an apologist for radical Islamic terrorism” . . .

“If I’m elected president, we will not let in refugees from countries controlled by ISIS or Al Qaida. When it comes to ISIS, we will not weaken them, we will not degrade them, we will utterly and completely destroy ISIS,” Cruz concluded.

Rhode Island City Official Resigns After Having a Man Dress up in DRAG [+video]

/0 Comments/in , /by

A senior services official in Rhode Island has resigned over a bizarre ‘Mrs Doubtfire’-inspired PR stunt involving a middle-aged man disguised as an old lady.

Sue Stenhouse, director of senior services in the City of Cranston, organized a news conference last Tuesday to announce the launch of the Snow Angels program, which encourages local teenagers to help elderly residents during the cold winter months by shoveling driveways and pathways.

The event was attended by the mayor of Cranston, a group of beaming high school students armed with colorful shovels, and what at first glance appeared to be an elderly woman with a name tag that read ‘Cranston Senior Home Resident.’

It has since emerged that the ruddy-cheeked, curly-haired lady wearing pink lipstick and matching clip-on earrings was, in fact, a male van driver by the name David Roberts.

The station WJAR-TV, which aired the original press conference last week, uncovered the ruse in reports this week. (Read more from “Rhode Island City Official Resigns After Having a Man Dress up in DRAG” HERE)

Watch: Trump Admits Greatest Weakness With 3 Honest Words That Will Shock You

/7 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has, some might say, been bluntness personified when he comments upon the weaknesses of others. On Monday night, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon asked Trump to turn the focus on himself and share with America his greatest weakness.

“I never forget,” Trump replied.

He then critiqued himself dispassionately.

“When, you know, it is sort of interesting, I’ve said it, I’m too nice too long, and when…if somebody takes advantage of a situation, I become too bad for too long, so I think I maybe have to have a little bit of a shorter memory wouldn’t be so bad,” he said.

Later in the interview, he gave an example of when he has reaped an advantage from the kind of behavior he cited as a weakness. He was discussing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, when he made an observation.

“She came out with a little bit of a statement about me, and I came out with a very big statement about her and Bill,” Trump said, getting a laugh. “And she stopped talking about me all of a sudden.” (Read more from “Watch: Trump Admits Greatest Weakness With 3 Honest Words That Will Shock You” HERE)

Watch: After Obama Seemingly Takes a Jab at Him in SOTU Speech, Ted Cruz Responds — and Doesn’t Mince Words

/11 Comments/in , /by

Credit – Getty ImagesRepublican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz responded Tuesday night to an apparent jab President Barack Obama took at him in his final State of the Union address.

In his speech, Obama said the answer to defeating the Islamic State would not merely be “tough talk or calls to carpet bomb civilians. That may work as a TV sound bite, but it doesn’t pass muster on the world stage.”

The reference to carpet bombing appeared to be a slight jab at Cruz. The Texas senator had previously attracted attention for saying at campaign events he would “utterly destroy” the Islamic State and “carpet bomb them into oblivion” . . .

“In the speech, I think we all agree that the president essentially called you out…what was your response to that?” [“NBC Nightly News” reporter] asked.

“Well listen, I will apologize to nobody for my commitment to kill the terrorists,” Cruz replied. “And in this speech President Obama once again refused to even say the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ — much less demonstrate any clarity, any vision, any plan to destroy them.” (Read more from “After Obama Seemingly Takes a Jab at Him in SOTU Speech, Ted Cruz Responds — and Doesn’t Mince Words” HERE)

Watch: College Students Supposedly Taught What a Real Terrorist Is… This Is Ridiculous

/4 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: National ReviewMost acts of terrorism in America are committed by white men who are “religiously motivated and politically conservative,” a psychology professor recently taught his students, adding that “9/11 is basically the only act of foreign-born terrorism that has ever happened in the United States.”

The “Introduction to Psychology” lesson was given by Dr. Ross Avilla, a lecturer at the University of California-Merced, who backed up his argument by telling his class about a white Christian man who shot up the Texas statehouse with an AK-47 – an incident which in fact never took place.

“Ninety percent [of U.S. terrorist attacks] are from these white Caucasian men,” Avilla told his class. “And by the way I am not saying white men are evil – but that is what we should be thinking about. Usually they are people who are religiously motivated and politically conservative.”

The psychology scholar couched his statements in a lesson on heuristics, defined “as a mental shortcut that allows people to solve problems and make judgments quickly.” He essentially argued many Americans wrongly believe Muslims make up the vast majority of U.S. terrorists because they have not thought long and hard on the matter.

A portion of the lecture was recorded by two students in the class who provided it to The College Fix. The lesson took place in mid-October, just a few weeks before UC Merced student Faisal Mohammad stabbed four people on the Northern California campus.

Christian Values Being Threatened by Obama’s Final Speech at State of the Union

/1 Comment/in , /by

Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses for homosexuals, commented on what she considered to be President Barack Obama’s legacy just prior to the his final State of the Union speech, telling CNSNews.com, “I think he has chipped away at American Christian values piece by piece, and I hope and I pray that he garners some light at the end of this dark tunnel that we’ve been in.”

The Rowan County, Ky., clerk was briefly jailed last year following the Supreme Court ruling that legalized homosexual “marriage” for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because it went against her Christian beliefs.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) invited Davis to the State of the Union, who spoke with CNSNews.com on Capitol Hill Tuesday evening.

The invitation is “a great honor,” said Davis.

CNSNews.com asked Davis, “How does it feel representing those who believe marriage is between a man and a woman and are standing for this belief the way you have?” (Read more from “Christian Values Being Threatened by Obama’s Final Speech at State of the Union” HERE)

Watch: What Trump Just Said He’d Do on His First Day as President Got Even This MSNBC Host on Board

/8 Comments/in , , /by

On Thursday night, as President Obama scoffed at the notion of gun rights for Americans and advocated the power of legislation to protect America, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised a far different action.

“I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases,” Trump said during a Vermont rally. “My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zones.”

“You know what a gun free zone is to sickos? That’s bait!” Trump told the crowd. At a Republican debate in October, Trump had said, “I think gun free zones are a catastrophe, they’re a feeding frenzy for sick people.”

Trump’s Thursday comments on guns represented the polar opposite of the restraints Obama urges on the right to bear arms.

Referencing the recent attacks in San Bernardino, California, and Paris, Trump said both incidents might have been averted by an armed citizenry.

“They walk into a number of places in France, and they say, ‘Get over.’ Boom. ‘Get over.’ Boom. ‘Get over.’ Boom. Nobody had a gun on the other side,” Trump said. If the victims there were armed, he said, “It’s a whole different outcome. It’s a whole different deal.” (Read more from “Watch: What Trump Just Said He’d Do on His First Day as President Got Even This MSNBC Host on Board” HERE)

Philadelphia Sheriff: Obama Is Incapable of Protecting Americans [+video]

/2 Comments/in , /by

Commenting on the Islamist radical who allegedly tried to kill a police officer in Philadelphia on Friday, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said that “President Obama’s JV team” – meaning ISIS or the Islamic State – had “struck again,” and added that because of his policies Obama “is incapable of protecting Americans.”

“President Obama’s JV team has struck again,” said Sheriff Clarke on Fox’s Hannity on Jan. 8.

“This is not the first time that Islamic terror or Islamic-inspired terror has struck at home here in the United States,” he said.

“This president is not only unwilling to face the fact that we are being targeted here on the homeland, he is incapable of protecting Americans,” said the sheriff . . .

According to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross, the suspect, Archer, “confessed to committing this cowardly act in the name of Islam,” and “according to him, he believed that the police defend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran.” (Read more from “Philadelphia Sheriff: : Is Incapable of Protecting Americans” HERE)

BOMBSHELL Claim: Something Major Is About to Happen to Bill Clinton That Could Be Hillary’s Undoing [+video]

/24 Comments/in , /by

Now that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has paraded out former President Bill Clinton as an official part of her campaign, a parade of accusers may also be emerging with accusations of assault against the former president, according to an author with extensive experience writing about the former president.

“I identified 24 women who’ve been assaulted by Bill Clinton,” said Roger Stone, author of The Clinton’s War On Women.

“Now, some of these women are still terrified. Some of them have had IRS audits. Some of them have had their families threatened. But others have come forward,” he said during on Sean Hannity’s syndicated radio show The Sean Hannity Show.

“Are you saying there’s women whose names we don’t know that are mentioned in your book or not mentioned in your book that are going to come forward and start telling those stories?” Hannity asked.

“Yes, I think it’s very probable,” Stone said. “Not all of them because some of them are still terrified, their families have been threatened, their lives have been threatened” . . .

“We’re talking about assaults,” said Stone. “I don’t want to get out ahead of myself, but I think as Broaddrick, and [Kathleen] Willey, and Jones speak out, other women are encouraged who have been assaulted, who have been threatened by Hillary, are encouraged by the courage of those three women.” (Read more from “BOMBSHELL Claim: Something Major Is About to Happen to Bill Clinton That Could Be Hillary’s Undoing” HERE)
