President of the United States
George Washington
State of the Union Address
January 8, 1790
 
“Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and House of Representatives.
 
I embrace with great satisfaction the opportunity, which now presents itself, of congratulating you on the present favourable prospects of our public affairs. The recent accession of the important State of North Carolina to the Constitution of the United States (of which official information has been received)—the rising credit and respectability of our Country—the general and increasing good will towards the Government of the Union—and the concord, peace and plenty, with which we are blessed, are circumstances, auspicious, in an eminent degree to our national prosperity.
 
In resuming your consultations for the general good, you cannot but derive encouragement from the reflection, that the measures of the last Session have been as satisfactory to your Constituents, as the novelty and difficulty of the work allowed you to hope. Still further to realize their expectations, and to secure the blessings which a Gracious Providence has placed within our reach, will in the course of the present important Session, call for the cool and deliberate exertion of your patriotism, firmness and wisdom.
 
Among the many interesting objects, which will engage your attention, that of providing for the common defence will merit particular regard. To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
 
A free people ought not only to be armed but disciplined; to which end a Uniform and well digested plan is requisite: And their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories, as tend to render them independent on others, for essential, particularly for military supplies.
 
The proper establishment of the Troops which may be deemed indispensable, will be entitled to mature consideration. In the arrangements which may be made respecting it, it will be of importance to conciliate the comfortable support of the Officers and Soldiers with a due regard to economy.
 
There was reason to hope, that the pacific measures adopted with regard to certain hostile tribes of Indians would have relieved the inhabitants of our Southern and Western frontiers from their depredations. But you will perceive, from the information contained in the papers, which I shall direct to be laid before you (comprehending a communication from the Commonwealth of Virginia) that we ought to be prepared to afford protection to those parts of the Union; and, if necessary, to punish aggressors.
 
The interests of the United States require, that our intercourse with other nations should be facilitated by such provisions as will enable me to fulfil my duty in that respect, in the manner, which circumstances may render most conducive to the public good: And to this end, that the compensations to be made to the persons, who may be employed, should, according to the nature of their appointments, be defined by law; and a competent fund designated for defraying the expenses incident to the conduct of foreign affairs.
 
Various considerations also render it expedient, that the terms on which foreigners may be admitted to the rights of Citizens, should be speedily ascertained by a uniform rule of naturalization.
 
Uniformity in the Currency, Weights and Measures of the United States is an object of great importance, and will, I am persuaded, be duly attended to.
 
The advancement of Agriculture, commerce and Manufactures, by all proper means, will not, I trust, need recommendation. But I cannot forbear intimating to you the expediency of giving effectual encouragement as well to the introduction of new and useful inventions from abroad, as to the exertions of skill and genius in producing them at home; and of facilitating the intercourse between the distant parts of our Country by a due attention to the Post-Office and Post Roads.
 
Nor am I less pursuaded, that you will agree with me in opinion, that there is nothing, which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of Science and Literature. Knowledge is in every Country the surest basis of public happiness. In one, in which the measures of Government receive their impression so immediately from the sense of the Community as in our’s, it is proportionably essential. To the security of a free Constitution it contributes in various ways: By convincing those, who are entrusted with the public administration, that every valuable end of Government is best answered by the enlightened confidence of the people: And by teaching the people themselves to know and to value their own rights; to discern and provide against invasions of them; to distinguish between oppression and the necessary exercise of lawful authority; between burthens proceeding from a disregard to their convenience and those resulting from the inevitable exigencies of Society; to discriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness, cherishing the first, avoiding the last, and uniting a speedy, but temperate vigilence against encroachments, with an inviolable respect to the laws.
 
Whether this desirable object will be best promoted by affording aids to Seminaries of Learning already established—by the institution of a national University—or by any other expedients, will be well worthy of a place in the deliberations of the Legislature.
​
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
 
I saw with peculiar pleasure, at the close of the last Session, the resolution entered into by you expressive of your opinion, that an adequate provision for the support of the public Credit is a matter of high importance to the national honor and prosperity. In this sentiment, I entirely concur. And to a perfect confidence in your best endeavours to devise such a provision, as will be truly consistent with the end, I add an equal reliance on the cheerful co-operation of the other branch of the Legislature. It would be superfluous to specify inducements to a measure in which the character and permanent interests of the United States are so obviously and so deeply concerned; and which has received so explicit a sanction from your declaration.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives.
 
I have directed the proper Officers to lay before you respectively such papers and estimates as regard the affairs particularly recommended to your consideration, and necessary to convey to you that information of the state of the Union, which it is my duty to afford.
The welfare of our Country is the great object to which our cares and efforts ought to be directed.

​And I shall derive great satisfaction from a co-operation with you, in the pleasing though arduous task of ensuring to our fellow Citizens the blessings, which they have a right to expect, from a free, efficient and equal Government.” Source

Scripture for Today, 1-24-18: Fire of Hell

​​The Fire of Hell
Picture
Note: Place cursor over scripture and a dropdown
window will automatically appear; no need to click
***
“The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.” James 3:6

1-23-18, * -- The word for “hell” in this verse is gehenna, and this is the only one of its 11 occurrences in the New Testament that is not a direct quote from the lips of Christ. Since the tongue is not a literal fire and since its misuse can in effect make it a “world of iniquity,” this passage suggests that hell itself is the ultimate world of iniquity that has made the uncontrolled tongue an extension of itself.

The Bible speaks of this future hell as a place of “everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41). However, if these were fires such as we have here on Earth, it is difficult to see how, as Jesus said, God will “destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). Fire would destroy the body, but what about the soul?
Picture
The fire of hell may include some kind of spiritual fire or environment whose destructive nature can only be characterized by the metaphor of fire. The “lake of fire” cannot be on Earth, of course, because the Beast, the False Prophet, and Satan will all be sent there before the disintegration of Earth in its present form, whereas all lost human souls will be sent there after that event (Revelation 19:20; 20:10-11, 15). The awful lake probably is somewhere far out in the “outer darkness” (Matthew 25:30; Jude 1:13).
And it will be “a world of iniquity” where “he that is unjust [will] be unjust still: and he which is filthy [will] be filthy still” (Revelation 22:11). Those who have opted not to be with Christ will be given their chosen status forever. That means no light, no peace, no rest, no joy, nothing at all associated with the Lord. One should certainly “flee from the wrath to come” (Matthew 3:7) while he can.

Federal Surveillance Report: FISA Conspiracy Memo Leaked

​Secret FISA Memo leaked to Infowars

5/26/17, McClatchy -- FISA Memo: The criticism is in a lengthy secret ruling that lays bare some of the frictions between the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and U.S. intelligence agencies obligated to obtain the court’s approval for surveillance activities. The ruling, dated April 26, 2017 and bearing the label “top secret,” was obtained and published by the news site Circa. ... The signing judge, Rosemary M. Collyer, chastised the NSA’s inspector general and Office of Compliance for Operations for an “institutional ‘lack of candor’ ” for failing to inform the court. It described the matter as “a very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”

1-23-18, InfoWars -- William Binney, former tech head of the NSA contacted INFOWARS sending them the link to the reportedly classified memo that lawmakers said was a blueprint of how the Obama administration and the Deep State spied on President Trump - media has been calling the FISA REPORT MEMO. This memo, hiding in plain site, serves as the basis for the four-page memo of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) which reveals perjury by the Obama administration when connected to other research.
Picture

It is rare that such rulings see the light of day, and the lengthy unraveling of issues in the 99-page document opens a window on how the secret federal court oversees surveillance activities and seeks to curtail those that it deems overstep legal authority.

Super Bowl #52: Veterans Ad Refused

NFL Rejects Pro-National Anthem Ad From Veterans Group for 52nd Football Championship 'Superbowl'
​Participants are the National Football Conference champion, Philadelphia Eagles vs American Football Conference champion New England Patriots

Place: U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Date: Sunday, 6:30 pm ET, February 4, 2018

1-22-18, The nation’s largest veterans service organization AMVETS was invited by the NFL to place an ad in the Super Bowl LII [Roman numerals for the number 52] program. However, the ad they submitted was omitted from the program. It was a full-page ad picturing the American flag, saluting soldiers and the words “Please Stand.” Obviously referring to the recent behaviors of NFL players in uniform on the field protest by kneeling during the performance of the United States of America's national anthem before the start of games.

In a statement for the NFL, Vice President of Communications, Brian McCarthy said:

"The Super Bowl game program [magazine] is designed for fans to commemorate and celebrate the game, players, teams and the Super Bowl. It’s never been a place for advertising that could be considered by some as a political statement. The NFL has long supported the military and veterans and will again salute our service members in the Super Bowl with memorable on-field moments that will be televised as part of the game. AMVETS was given a chance to amend their ad from “Please Stand” to other options, such as “Please Honor Our Veterans” or “Please Stand for Our Veterans.” Production on the programs was delayed while they awaited an answer from AMVETS, however the NFL ultimately printed the programs without the ad in order to meet deadlines." He noted an ad from Veterans of Foreign Wars was approved for the program. It reads, “We Stand For Veterans.”
Picture
Picture
Tom Brady of the Patriots has been to seven Super Bowls, and has faced six opponents: Kurt Warner, Jake Delhomme, Donovan McNabb, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, and Eli Manning twice. Nick Foles of the Eagles played college football at Arizona, was drafted by the Eagles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft; played for the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs. 
***
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the NFL’s disdain for American patriotism is not just isolated to the gridiron; apparently it’s infested the front office.  AND they seem to care not for the profits of its 32 member teams.

Note:
NFL redistributes its wealth to all NFL teams equally in contravention of the typical corporate structure. By redistributing profits to all teams the NFL. Up until 2015, the league was an unincorporated nonprofit 501(c)(6) association.[34] Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code provides an exemption from federal income taxation.  Each individual team (except the non-profit Green Bay Packers[36]) is subject to tax because they make a profit.

United States Honors Israel
Both Sitting President and Vice Presidents
First to Pray at Israel's Ancient Western Wall

God said, "I will bless those who bless you [Israel] and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:3
January 23, 2018, US Vice President Mike Pence followed President Donald Trump and they were the first sitting US president and vice president to pray the Western Wall in Israel's Capitol of Jerusalem. VP Pence wrote in the guest book:

"It is my great honor to pray here at this sacred place. God bless the Jewish people and God bless the State of Israel always."

President Trump on May 23, 2017 wrote in the guest book at the holocaust museum:
“IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO BE HERE WITH ALL OF MY FRIENDS
- SO AMAZING & WILL NEVER FORGET!”

VP Pence started the day at the residence of Israel President Reuven Rivilin said: "You are a mensch*." Mike and his wife visited Israel's Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem, where he laid a wreath in the Hall of Remembrance.

The visit follows President Donald Trump's December 6, 2017 [1] announcement that the U.S. formally recognized Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel. Trump also announced intentions to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In his Knesset speech on Jan 22, 2018, VP Pence reiterated the intention to move the U.S. embassy to Israel's capitol, Jerusalem by end of 2019.

FISA Memo Release: 'Worse Than Watergate' 
1-18-18, When will the FISA memo be released? What are the Democrats afraid of? Watergate was a third-rate office break-in; President Nixon resigned. What we’re talking about is the systematic abuse of power, the weaponizing of those powerful tools of intelligence and the shredding of our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights when Donald Trump's offices were tapped. The House Intelligence Committee voted to release a four-page memo on FISA abuses that have disturbed lawmakers to their core. Some were saying the actions described were akin to the KGB. All Democrats voted against releasing it. Adam Schiff Democrat from California Doesn’t Want FISA Memo Released , Thinks Americans Are TOO STUPID To Understand It -

The FISA Abuse Memo Unveiled; What Exactly Is In the Memo? North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows said. “Part of me wishes that I didn't read it because I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much.”
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said he believed people could lose their jobs after the memo is released. “I believe the consequence of its release will be major changes in people currently working at the FBI and the Department of Justice,” he said, referencing DOJ officials Rod Rosenstein and Bruce Ohr.
Sept. 20, 2017 -- Six U.S. agencies created a stealth task force, spearhead by CIA’s Brennan, to run domestic surveillance on Trump associates and possibly Trump himself. To feign ignorance and to seemingly operate within U.S. laws, the agencies freelanced the wiretapping of Trump associates to a British spy agency. There were two denials from the FISA Court warrant applications filed by the FBI seeking wiretaps of Trump associates. Note: The United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court is a U.S. federal court established and authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] of 1978 to oversee requests for surveillance warrants against foreign spies.

God's plan is perfect ... He admonishes mankind about behaviors ... we are not to have sexual relations outside of marriage.  "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

4-20-15,  Dr Helen Smith, author of "Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood And The American Dream" says that when it comes to marriage, men are on strike. Why?  Because the rewards are far less than they used to be, while the cost and dangers it presents are far greater. ‘Ultimately, men know there’s a good chance they’ll lose their friends, their respect, their space, their sex life, their money and — if it all goes wrong — their family.’  Women have declared war on men and marriage. The rebellious feminist movement began in the 1970s when college women began advocating freedom of sex outside of marriage.

​God Raises and Lowers ‘Kings’
President Trump: God's Man of the Hour

Picture
1-22-18, * -- Unlike Barack Obama's meteoric rise from obscurity to international stardom seemingly overnight, Donald John Trump has been on the global stage for decades. Well-known for his global real estate empire, the Miss Universe pageants and his hit television show "The Apprentice."  To many Trump's announcement to run for the highest political office in the United States came as a surprise. Even more surprising was his seemingly impossible victory over sixteen seasoned politicians and the "queen" of the deep-state swamp-things. Many rightly attribute Trump's miracle victory as just that - a miracle.
 
So if this is divine intervention, then why?
What purpose does God have for a crude and narcissistic man such as Donald J. Trump in these final hours of human history?
[God raises up and removes Kings, Daniel 2:21-22; Romans 13:1-7]
  
And Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro: We wonder why God allowed a lawless man such as Obama to hold office for as long as he did.  I believe Obama occupied the Oval Office from 2009-2017 - not only served as a form of punishment for America's sins - but was also meant to cause a counter-reaction. And it did by waking up a sleeping American public. Without Obama, there would have been no Tea Party movement or Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate.
 
Following closely on Obama's heels was the election of president number 45, Donald Trump. He was diametrically the opposite of Obama. He was a supporter of Israel, populist, anti-abortion, pro-God, pro-business, pro-security and pro-family values. As a supporter of Israel, one can only imagine the level of violent agitation stirring against Trump by the principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age and spiritual hosts of wickedness (Eph. 6:12). Almost every spectrum of society (minus the average American) has been pitted against him; the hatred is mind numbing.
 
I believe that God uses world leaders to accomplish His geopolitical will and scripture repeatedly confirms it. In our current situation, God will continue to use President Trump to accomplish exactly what He needs to done to set the prophetic stage on this accelerated time-line we find ourselves. There have been many world leaders, who were not righteous or holy, but God used them accomplish His prophetic agenda; list follows: 
  • Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar: God used him as prophetic punishment on Judah (Jer. 21:7)
  • Medo-Persian King Cyrus: God used him to free the enslaved Jews in Babylon (2 Chronicles 36:22-23)
  • Persian King Artaxerxes: God used him to allow Jerusalem to be rebuilt (Dan. 9:25, Neh. 2)
  • Seleucid King Antiochus IV Epiphanes: created an example of what the abomination of desolation would look like (Dan. 9:27, 11:29-35, Matt. 24:15)
  • Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate: God used him so that Christ would be crucified (according to Scripture) (Matt. 27:1-26)​
  • British Foreign Secretary Balfour: God used him to set aside the newly freed land of Palestine (as it was known then) from the Ottoman Turks (Ezekiel 36) for the Jews
  • German Fuhrer Hitler: God used him and the Holocaust so that the nation of Israel could be reborn (Isaiah 11:11, Amos 9:14-15)
  • US President Truman:  God used him to be the first leader to recognize national Israel (Isaiah 66:8)
  • US President Nixon: God used him to aid Israel during the Yom Kippur War (Psalm 2:1-3)
  • US President Carter: God used him to begin the judgment/trial period (40 years) of "land for peace" (Isaiah 28:15)
  • US President Trump: God used him to be the first gentile leader in more than 2,000 years to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's sovereign capital (Luke 21:24)
Trump's election speaks specifically to God's intentions regarding the speed and gravitas of the issues at hand. If we remember all the prophecies concerning Christ's first coming (108 distinct prophecies), most of them were fulfilled in the final week of His life (the Passion Week). As we see things speeding up prophetically in just about every spectrum, we can reasonably presume to be in the final moments of human history given the rapidity and intensity by which prophetic events are happening. We call this consolidation of signs the convergence.
Picture
I’m not saying that President Trump is a morally perfect and godly leader; nor that he has theological discernment. I believe God is using him to accomplish His purposes just like the other leaders listed above. Trump’s apparent leanings to traditional Judeo-Christian principles and his willingness to move where it concerns Christianity and Israel is encouraging.  So yes, “The Donald” is God's current man of the hour; just as Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus and the rest were at their appointed places in history. 

According to both Scripture and Bible prophecy experts, "the human race has a shelf-life," and it is about to expire. Israel is God's timepiece, and whatever time mankind has left, is in direct proportion to the Jewish nation’s status as a ‘nation.’ Life will simply not continue to go on indefinitely despite what the experts say because none of them (the secular ones at least), factor in the data recorded in Scripture. While no one can know the day or hour, our departure (via the Rapture) is coming sooner than we expect. (See 1 Thess. 5:1-11)
Picture
What about us? We each are appointed “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14) to do something only we could do in our unique sphere of influence. Are you open to God's guiding hand to lead you in the places He needs you to go? I hope so. Because when we are firmly in the hands of the Creator of the Universe, we become instruments of His righteousness and sovereignty. There can be no higher or gratifying calling.

​Were California a Nation ... It’d be the 17th Most Unequal Nation on Earth
Just Ahead of Mexico & Guatemala

1-17-18, Natl Ec Editorial -- Californians love sermonizing on the plight of America’s poor and disenfranchised—if only penny-pinching republicans would shell out for a bigger welfare state then all our problems would be solved.

Why not build more homes for the homeless, or invest in better education for our kids?

Well, California has put its money where its mouth is: over the last few decades it has built one of America’s most lavish welfare states. There’s just one problem: it’s not working.  Only when looking at the global context do you really get a sense of how bad it is.
According to data from the World Bank, if California were an independent country, it would be the 17th most unequal country on earth.  It would rest comfortably just behind the Honduras (at 0.511), and ahead of Guatemala (0.487) and Mexico (0.482). Comparing this to the other “social democracies” that California is wont to compare itself with: Canada sits at spot number 111, while Norway is way down the list at number 153 (out of 176 countries).
In terms of inequality, California has more in common with banana republics than the “social democracies” it emulates.  Perhaps they should get their own house in order before lecturing the rest of us on the benefits of socialism. Source

Palestinians: No Difference Between Fatah and Hamas
January 22, 2018, Gatestone Inst -- Sometimes it seems as if the Muslim group in Ramallah Israel, Fatah and Islamic terror group, Hamas in Gaza Israel are competing to show which party hates Israel and the US more. This call is a clear message to the Muslim peoples in Israel calling themselves 'Palestinians' to launch more terror attacks. This, in fact, is the real "license to kill" that Fatah has been talking about. It is not Trump who gave Israel a "license to kill." The real license is being issued here by Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah.
  • The glorification of terrorists and the denial of Jewish rights and history have always been a main pillar of the ideology of Abbas and Fatah.

​Muslims in Israel aka 'Palestinians:' Trump is Hitler
12-27-17, The Muslims in Israel continue to demonize President Trump following his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. In general, Muslim anti-Semitism has emerged at anti-Israel rallies taking place globally and in Arabic language media in response to Trump’s announcement on Jerusalem.
​***
Picture
1-22-18, In the foreseeable future, peace between Muslims and Jews isn't possible. However, for those who have always blamed Israel and now Pres Trump for the lack of peace, Abbas's 1-14-18 speech was a reality check.

Those who always blame Israel denying the Muslims aka 'Palestinians' true intentions have been duped. It's time for the "peace camp" to understand Muslim Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinians and the Muslim terror group in Gaza, Hamas do not want peace; they want the Jews gone and ALL the land of the Jewish state of Israel with Jerusalem THEIR capitol.

Don't Blame Pres Trump For Abbas Rejecting PeaceThe world got another reminder of reality when PA President Mahmoud Abbas gave a speech in which he not only rejected any further negotiations with the U.S. and Israel, but also engaged in a wild anti-Semitic rant denying Jewish history and making it clear he had no desire for peace.... No rational person could hear Abbas's January 14, 2018 diatribe and still believe he has any interest in two states or coexistence in the Jewish state of Israel. His complaints were not so much about the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital as they were about the entire Zionist project. He denounced Trump but made it clear his real problem was with Arthur James Balfour and the origins of Jewish statehood as well as in denying the historical ties between the Jewish people and their ancient homeland. He vowed to go on supporting terrorism and his violent words confirmed a commitment to incitement. Yet rather than confront the truth about Abbas, many on the left prefer to blame Pres Trump and Israel.

God and Weather
God Uses Natural Disasters to Send Messages

***​
God turns rivers into wilderness, water springs to dry ground. Fruitful land to barren, for the wicked who dwell therein. For the righteous He turns wilderness to standing water and dry ground to water springs for the hungry to dwell therein to prepare a city for habitation. That they may sow the fields plant vineyards and yield fruit. He blesses them so they may multiply and even their cattle shall not decrease. Psalm 107:33-38
​
 
1-21-18, * -- In the past, if the land was in a drought, people earnestly prayed that God would send rain. If lands were devastated by floods, people wondered if God was chastising them. However, in modern times when devastating weather events occur, little is said about the Creator of the Universe. God said to Job … where were you? Job 38:4-7

 “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him?" Psalm 8:3-4

In Psalm 107:33 we see that God punishes the wicked and blesses the righteous through the weather. Does God no longer speak to mankind through the natural elements? Yes, today God still speaks to mankind through the weather as much as He always has. Mankind just refuses to listen.  Example: many believe the horrific disaster that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005 – KATRINA FLOOD - was a consequence of the USA involvement in 9000 Jews being forcibly evicted from their homes in GAZA Israel turning the land over to the Muslims:

***
9-7-05, WND.com -- The storm - KATRINA - that turned parts of the Gulf Coast into a disaster zone, prompting hundreds of thousands to evacuate their homes and possibly causing upwards of 10,000 American deaths, was thrust upon the U.S. as God’s punishment regarding the USA support of the Gaza evacuation: Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Lewin, executive director of the Rabbinic Congress for Peace said:

 “Katrina is a consequence of the destruction of [Gaza’s] Gush Katif [slate of Jewish communities] with America’s urging and encouragement. The U.S. should have discouraged Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon from implementing the Gaza evacuation rather than pushing for it and pressuring Israel into concessions with the Muslims.” More here

The day will come when Jesus' presence will be felt throughout the entire earth. When Christ returns, no one will stand boldly and arrogantly before God Almighty; we will all bow the knee and acknowledge Christ as Lord and King. Romans 14:11
​
​If a nation digs in against God and sets its jaw against His calls for repentance, a point of no return will be reached — often referred to as “when the wound becomes incurable” (Nahum 3:19, Jeremiah 30:12, and Micah 1:9). At this point, the Lord will deliver the nation from judgment to destruction. Ecclesiastes 12:14

Canada's Justin Trudeau Woke a Sleeping
Giant Banning Grants for Summer Jobs
from Pro-Life Employers ... 
The 'litmus' test excludes Christians
who cannot agree to abortion or homosexuality

Prime Minister Trudeau announcing $650 million commitment to increase global access to abortion - Canada picks up where Obama left off ... killing babies worldwide!

Abortion and Homosexuality Must be Approved to Qualify for Canada Summer Jobs 
January 10, 2018 (The Bridgehead) – When it was announced several weeks ago that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Canadian government's insistence on an “attestation” from all organizations and non-profits applying for funding from the Canada Summer Jobs Program ... support for abortion and homosexuality, among other things— everyone from churches helping refugees to the Salvation Army would be rendered ineligible by this new ideological liberal anti family purity test.

Trudeau Says:
"Anti-Abortion Groups Are Not In Line With Canadian Society - Women have fought for generations for the right to control their own bodies."

Picture
Under the new Trudeau Liberal rule, employers must sign an attestation that their “core mandate” respects “reproductive” and transgender “rights” to receive Canada Summer Job grants.

As Canada's National Post reported, a new clause in the grant application for the Canada Summer Jobs program appears to instruct them to "endorse access to abortions." Justin Trudeau said: "An organization that has the explicit purpose of restricting women's rights by removing access to abortion... is not in line with where we are as a government and quite frankly where we are as a society,"

South Security Border Wall Prototypes: Thwart Experts

UNITED STATES SOUTHERN
BORDER SECURITY BARRIER
​WILL PAY FOR ITSELF

1-20-18, Much has been said lambasting conservative Americans for their desire to limit the number of migrants into the USA. Trying to shame us as being heartless. Well, like the President, we care about our own people and the huge cost to our people. When my father came to America in 1800s from Italy - he had to have a sponsor, a job waiting, had to undergo physical exams to be sure no diseases were being brought along. There was no govt assistance or 'welfare' - no free education, no free housing, no free health care. He worked, learned English and became a loyal patriotic America loving citizen of the USA. 

There is a big difference in 'migrants' vs 'refugees.' Here's the definition from the UN: Migrants choose to move not because of a direct threat of persecution or death, but mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or in some cases for education, family reunion, or other reasons. Unlike refugees who cannot safely return home, migrants face no such impediment to return. Even refugees should undergo security measures ... Source:

The Wall Will Pay for Itself
Picture
Picture
San Diego: Recent assaults by tactical teams on prototypes of President Trump's proposed wall with Mexico indicate their imposing heights should stop border crossers because US military special forces based in Florida and U.S. Customs and Border Protection special units spent three weeks trying to breach and scale the eight models. They used jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices and failed ... Only once did a tester manage to land a hook on top of the wall without help. Tubes atop some models repelled climbing devices, but wouldn't work in more mountainous areas because the terrain is too jagged. Contractors were awarded between $300,000 and $500,000 for each prototype.

 Customs and Border Protection report on the tests identifies strengths and flaws of each design but did not pick an overall winner or rank them, though it does point to see-through steel barriers topped by concrete as the best overall design.

 President Trump has asked for $1.6 billion this year to build or replace 74 miles (118.4 kilometers) of barriers in Texas' Rio Grande Valley and San Diego and plans to request another $1.6 billion next year.
A proposal by Customs and Border Protection calls for spending $18 billion over 10 years to extend barriers to cover nearly half the border, though it is unclear if Trump supports that plan. The agency proposes 316 miles (505 kilometers) of additional barrier by September 2027, bringing total coverage to 970 miles (1,552 kilometers). It also seeks 407 miles (651 kilometers) of replacement or secondary fencing. More here

​The Prayer that Makes God Angry

Picture
Note: Hover cursor over Bible verse and automatically a

“I prayed unto the Lord my God, made my confession saying: ‘Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love Him and to them that keep His commandments; we have sinned, committed iniquity, done wickedly and have rebelled, even by departing from Thy precepts and from Thy judgments.” Daniel 9:4-5
 
1-19-18, * -- Have you ever thought that a prayer of yours, rather than enlisting God’s mercy, might stir up God’s anger?  Daniel’s prayer [Dan 9:4-5] is not a prayer that makes God angry. Some people think: “If we just pray, God will hear our prayer.” My dear friend, it is not so. Prayers of a wicked people who do not honor God - intentionally and repeatedly sin disobeying His laws and precepts - anger Him making matters worse.  It’s an affront and those prayers can actually become an abomination to God. Jeremiah 7:15-16
Picture
The Bible says:
  • “He that turns away his ear from the hearing of the law, his prayer shall be an abomination.” Proverbs 28:9
  • “Lord, how long will you be angry at the prayers of Your people?”Psalm 80:4
  • “The LORD is far from the wicked: but He hears the prayer of the righteous.” Proverbs 15:29
A person stuffed full of self and sin imploring God to do something good for him when she stands in need of judgment and punishment angers God. Confessed sin will be forgiven, but it must be confessed. 1 John 1:9

Aborted Babies Born Alive: 183 Dems 'Kill em!'

183 Democrat Lawmakers in Congress Vote to Continue the Brutality of Allowing a Baby Born Alive in Abortion to Die on the Table
***
60 million preborn children who have died from legal abortion since the tragic 1973 
Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions [1]

The typical abortion procedure: ​A saline abortion is performed by injecting caustic saline solution into the amniotic fluid that surrounds an unborn baby in the second trimester. The baby breathes in the fluid, which burns her lungs and scorches her skin, causing her to die within several hours. The mother then goes through labor to give birth to the dead baby. This type of abortion is seldom performed today because it led to so many live births and because it was dangerous to women; it had the potential to cause severe damage to the woman’s body if the saline was injected into her bloodstream. A similar procedure where poison is injected into the baby’s heart, or, in some cases, the amniotic fluid, still takes place today and is used in the late second and third trimesters. Often when a baby is born alive during an abortion procedure, the child is kept in the abortion facility until he or she dies. In rare cases, the abortionist himself takes action to kill the baby. Sometimes the baby is transferred to a hospital, where he/she can be given medical care; unfortunately, it is the policy of many hospitals simply to allow these babies to die. More here

1-19-18, The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act passed by a vote of 241-183. Many would agree that it's not only a piece of pro-life legislation, but one that is rooted in common sense and compassion, yet 183 Democrat NO votes reveal that they don't want to save babies who had survived an abortion. The law ensures that abortionists treat a baby who survived an abortion the same way they would treat any other baby with medical care needed to keep them alive. This bill contains criminal penalties for any abortion providers who refuse to take care of a child born alive. The alive baby must be transported to a hospital instead of remaining in the care of the abortionist. It requires that:
  • ​health-care practitioners and hospital employees report violations of the law,
  • it institutes penalties for the intentional killing of a born-alive child
  • imposition of fines
  • up to five years imprisonment
  • grants the woman on whom the abortion is performed civil cause of action and protection from prosecution if her child is not cared for after birth. (National Review)
For the first time in the MARCH FOR LIFE's 44 year history, a sitting president addressed the March for Life. Speaking from the Rose Garden, President Trump noted that more and more Americans support abortion restrictions. "Every child is a precious gift from God," he said. ​More here

 I'm not very familiar of how this bill will proceed after being passed in the House ... but I believe it now must go to the Senate for a vote and the rumors are it won't pass. Sickening. More here: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr4712

Alliance Saudi Arabia & Jewish State of Israel

The Unwritten Israeli-Saudi Alliance

1-19-18, Front Page – Middle East Islam Nation News:
  • Turkey - the Erdogan dictatorship is eliminating all vestiges of free press, after it subverted the old Kemal Ataturk secular institutions including the judiciary and military. 
  • Iran- the Islamic Republic dictatorship of Iran’s Ayatollahs is repressing its people thousands protest, and the minority populations (Kurds, Baluch, and Ahwazi Arabs) in particular.  It’s squandered a $150 billion gift from Obama on foreign adventures (in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq) and on terror sponsorships. 
  • Saudi Arabia - the only bright spot in the region is the positive reforms enacted by the young Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia [SA], Mohammed bin Salman. The 32-year old prince has assumed full executive powers and is effectively running the kingdom.  A more tolerant Sunni Islam; female drivers and music, social liberalization is “a vital part of his radical economic modernization plan, and has vowed to return his country to a more tolerant form of Islam.” [1] Part and parcel of that liberalization is the new Saudi attitude toward the Jewish state of Israel. The Trump administration figures on closer ties between SA and Israel in order to break the deadlock of the peace process, which President Trump has described as the “ultimate deal.”  There’s a “pragmatic Arab camp” being Egypt, Jordan and the some of the Gulf states. The threats faced by the pragmatic Arab camp are: Iran and the Salafi or radical Islamic terrorism. The Saudis understand it’s a good time to be friends with Israel.”
Both SA and Israel consider the Iranian-backed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Israeli technology and economic prowess has been fully acknowledged by SA. Therefore, SA and Israel are in talks to establish economic ties, a dramatic move that would put the Jewish state on a path to normal relations with the bastion of Sunni Islam and guardian of the two sacred Muslim cities Mecca and Medina.

Prince Salman declared the Kingdom’s powerful religious establishment or its Muslim extremists would not  stand in the way of his plans for reform and the expanded role of women in public life. The Islamic religious police have been stripped of their power to arrest. Dozens of hardline Muslim clerics have been detained and Salmon has ordered others to publicly speak respectfully about other religions.  The Prince is betting on the fact that the large youth population in the Kingdom cares more about entertainment and economic opportunities than religious dogma.  Salman’s success in transforming SA may contribute to open peace between Israel and the moderate Arab and Muslim states.

 Iran Leader Ali Khamenei says,
"Saudi Arabia betraying Muslim world"
1-17-18, Newsweek -- The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the governments that help the US and the Zionists are betraying the Islamic society. He accused Saudi Arabia of double-crossing the Palestinians and betraying 1.6 billion Muslims by siding with the U.S. and Israel on regional affairs. In a recent meeting with the participants of the 13th session of the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States*, he said the Saudis are helping the US and Israel and it is a betrayal to the Muslim world.   He noted that the Muslim world, with its large population and facilities, can undoubtedly turn into a great and influential power in the world by maintaining its unity calling on the Muslim world to stop conflicts saying that one of the aspirations of the enemies of Islam is to create differences, wage wars and cause bloodshed in the Muslim world to create a safe haven for the Zionists [Israel Jews], and it must not be allowed.
“I believe that this fight against the Zionists will produce result, as today we see the resistance has progressed.” Ayatollah Khamenei said once the Zionists’ slogan was From Nile to Euphrates, but today they are building a wall around themselves to be able to safeguard themselves on the occupied lands. Palestine is a collection; it is a country as well as a history and its capital city is absolutely Jerusalem al-Quds. “My advice to our brothers in the Muslim world is that we should be outspoken regarding the basic issues of the Muslim world to have an impact on public opinion. ... do not let them ignore you and the major issues of the Muslim world through conspiracy of silence.”
