Democrat senator Blumenthal links New Zealand massacre to Trump 
​3-15-19, Richard Blumenthal and a CNN anchor immediately blamed Trump and his allies for the mass shooting in New Zealand.

And the Natl Public Radio [NPR] for a news organization - government-funded news organization - it's sure awfully focused on what they WON’T report about a major story such as horrific recent mass killing in New Zealand. Anyone else old enough to remember when the basics of journalism included gathering and presenting the “Who” “What” “Where” “When” and “Why” of the event? Those days are over!

Brenton Tarrant is jailed for killing 49 Muslims and seriously wounding 20 when witnesses say he opened fire with a rifle in two New Zealand Islamic mosques in the city of Christchurch on Friday (Mar 15, 2019)... while the people were in prayer [what a coward!].

3-14-19, Victor Davis Hanson -- Not since the iconoclasts of the Byzantine Empire or the epidemic of statue destruction during the French Revolution has the world seen anything like the current war on the past.

In the last two years there has been a rash of statue toppling throughout the American South, aimed at wiping out memorialization of Confederate heroes. The pretense is that the Civil War can only be regarded as tragic in terms of the present oppression of the descendants of Southern slaves --154 years after the extinction of the Confederate states. The statue of Robert E. Lee was removed after it was vandalized at Duke University.

The subtext of most current name changing and icon toppling is that particular victimized groups blame their current plight on the past. They assume that by destroying long-dead supposed enemies, they will be liberated -- or at least feel better in the present.

In 2015, Islamic terror group ISIS militants entered a museum in Mosul, Iraq, and destroyed ancient, pre-Islamic statues and idols. In 2001, the primeval Islamic terror group the Taliban blew up two ancient Buddha statues in Afghanistan. Their mute crimes? They preexisted Mohammad and their very existence was sacrilegious to Islam. More here and here and here

R. Kelly's Legal Woes
3-7-19, CBS News -- Chicago has charged singer R. Kelly with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Reportedly at the time of the abuses, three of the four alleged victims were underage. Kelly pleaded not guilty howevder federal and state authorities in at least two states, New York and Illinois, are now investigating a variety of allegations. Kelly has faced intense scrutiny for more than a decade, which was reignited in January 2019 after the six-part Lifetime docu-series "Surviving R. Kelly." It featured interviews with seven accusers and former members of his inner circle. They all said Kelly preys on vulnerable women and young girls. He has been jailed with the additional charge of failing to pay back child support ... More here

The Atlantic Compares R. Kelly's Hysterical Rant to Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Testimony
3-6-19, The Atlantic published an article comparing singer R. Kelly’s behaviors and obscene outbursts during an interview with CBS's Gayle King over documented sex abuse charges to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh defending himself against unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations during his confirmation hearing. Video here

1. Media Compare Alleged Serial Underage Rapist R. Kelly to Judge Kavanaugh
2. 3-7-19, The latest outrageous example of the left trying to tear down the innocent by lifting up the guilty is comparing the Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh to Singer R. Kelly who was arrested for sexually abusing multiple under aged girls. Not content to just drag Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s name through the mud [again!] in that ridiculous witch hunt during his confirmation hearing in the fall. More here

Fair Play For Women [here] is now leading the way by speaking up on behalf of the female athletes who are unable to voice their concerns in public. We have a ground swell of athletes, sports scientists and coaches who support us and our aim is to facilitate the necessary experts to examine the physical attributes in the male body that makes it unfair to compete against natural women. NCAA policy is that male athletes who identify as transgender women can compete on women’s teams if they suppress their male testosterone levels for a full calendar year. 

Craig Telfer was a pretty good hurdler and all around athlete for the Franklin Pierce men’s track team last year, 2018 and finished second. This year, 2019 he's running as a girl calling himself 'CeCe Telfer' and breaking records. Many decry 'unfair!'

2-25-19, A top-ranked runner in NCAA women’s track - a biological man, CeCe Telfer - is dominating the competition and setting records one year after competing as a man at the same level. “Senior CeCe Telfer (Lebanon, N.H.) won three Northeast-10 Girls Conference titles leading the Franklin Pierce University women’s track & field team and earn Most Outstanding Track Athlete honors at the NE10 Championships.

In January 2018, he/she competed on Franklin Pierce’s men’s team according to meet results from the Middlebury Winter Classic in Vermont. By that point Telfer had started using the name CeCe, while he was still competing on the men’s team. ​More here

Tennis Star Martina Navratilova says, "Transgender Male Athletes in Women's Sports Is Unfair to the Women" | More here
​2-18-19, BleacherReport -- Martina Navratilova does not believe transgender [men who believe themselves to be women] should be permitted to lawfully compete against non-transgender women athletes. In the Sunday Times Navratilova said the practice is unfair: "It's insane and it's cheating. I am happy to address a transgender woman in whatever form she prefers, but I would not be happy to compete against her. It would not be fair. To put the argument at its most basic: a man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organization is concerned, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, then reverse his decision and go back to making babies if he so desires." 

2-26-19, An Amtrak train traveling between Oregon and Los Angeles is stuck on the tracks, stranding almost 200 people for more than a day and a half. The train hit a tree that had fallen across the tracks, KOIN reported. It happened about 6:18 p.m. Sunday, KTVL reported. 

No one has been hurt, but 183 passengers and a dozen crew members have been stuck on Train 11 Coast Starlight because, “Conditions further deteriorated with numerous track blockages from snow and fallen trees,” CNN reported. Passengers reported that they are not able to get off the train or even open windows. “We’ve open windows, we’ve gotten yelled at for opening windows,” passenger Rebekah Dodson told KTVL. “We can’t get off the train because there’s four feet of snow in every direction, there’s nowhere to go.”

The nearest town is Oakridge but their power is out. The train still has power, heat and food for all the passengers, who will not be charged. One passenger says the train’s snack cart is empty and families have run out of diapers for their children, KOIN reported.

With more than a foot of heavy snow and numerous trees blocking the track, Amtrak decided, in the best interest of the passengers, the "safest place" was on the train where they were "provide food, heat, electricity and toilets. More here

1. Scaramucci Slip - In June of 2016 CNN claimed that former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was under investigation by Congress for his alleged ties to Russia. CNN retracted it and apologized.
2. Trump Jr. Collusion - In Dec of 2017 CNN reported that Donald Trump Jr. received special access to documents stolen by WikiLeaks on Sept. 4, 2016. He actually was emailed about the documents on Sept. 14, 2016 — a day after they were already available to the general public.
3. 17 Intel Agencies Lie - During Congress hearing former Dir of Natl Intel James Clapper said that 3 intelligence agencies — the CIA, NSA and the FBI — concluded that Russia interfered with the 2016 election. Nonetheless, CNN repeatedly claimed that all 17 intelligence agencies came to the same conclusion about Russian meddling.
4. Comey Testimony Crumbles - On June 6, 2017, CNN reported that former FBI director James Comey would contradict Pres Trump’s claim that he was not under investigation. Comey actually ended up confirming Trump’s account.
5. Trump’s Fish Food - In Nov 2017 when Pres Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe the pair took part in a koi fish feeding ceremony. CNN showed Trump dumping his entire box of food into the koi pond unprompted; but an unedited video revealed that Trump was simply following the lead of Abe, who emptied his box of food first.
6. A Clean Bill Of Health - In May of 2017 when Republicans were authoring a new health care bill, CNN claimed that GOP changes to Obamacare could make rape and sexual assault pre-existing conditions. False!
7. Officer Cuomo - In Oct 2016 CNN anchor Chris Cuomo inexplicably said that possessing WikiLeaks stolen documents is “illegal,” but insisted it’s “different for the media.” The Washington Post reported that it’s not illegal to possess or distribute illegally obtained material so long as you were not involved in the original hack.
8. Just Tap It In - In Sept 2017 reported the FBI did wiretap Manafort in Trump Tower after they had originally denounced Trump’s claim in March of 2017 that Obama was wiretapping phones in Trump Tower as a “flat-out lie.”
9. Zeleny’s Folly - On Jul 31, 2018 CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted that Pres Trump had not taken questions from reporters in at least a week. Just one day prior Pres Trump answered questions during a joint news conference with the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
10. Republicans Did (NOT) Fund The "Dossier" - The salacious and unverified Steele dossier was paid for by the Dem Natl Comm and Clinton campaign. Former Obama official and current CNN reporter Jim Sciutto claimed the dossier was “initially paid for by Republicans.” While Republicans bought standard opposition research from Fusion GPS, they stopped paying the firm well before it ever contracted with Christopher Steele to compile the anti-Trump dossier.
11. If You Build It, They Will Lie - CNN claimed that only Dem members of Congress gathered to pray before the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game — the first game after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot and nearly killed. Pictures of the prayer circle clearly show both Democrats and Republicans praying together, and CNN eventually deleted their tweet claiming otherwise.
12. CNN Gets Hit With A Cruz Missile - After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, CNN reporter Brian Stelter accused Republican congressmen of being “scared” to come on the network to debate gun control. Anchor Chris Cuomo specifically called out Texas Senator Ted Cruz for not rising to the challenge.  Sen. Cruz had done a 15 minute interview with CNN earlier that same day.
13. Silly Stelter! - CNN Brian Stelter accused the Repub Natl Comm of “misquoting” him in an ad attacking the credibility of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury.” He said: “Real factual errors … makes you wonder about the overall content.” Stelter did utter those words and deleted his tweet and admitted: “I stand corrected: I thought this RNC ad misquoted me, but the quote came from a @CNNI TV hit.”
14. These Boots Were Made For Correctin’ - In Jan 2017 Nancy Sinatra made a quick joke about her late father’s song, “My Way,” being used at Trump’s Inauguration. CNN spun her tweet into an article claiming she was “not happy” about Trump using her father’s song at the Inauguration.  She said, “That’s not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN? What a rotten spin to put on a harmless joke.”
15. School Shooting Slip-Up - After a shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, CNN reporters claimed that there were 22 school shootings on the year; wildly exaggerating the number of school shootings by using methodology that includes accidental firearm discharges on school property, domestic disputes, and other non-active shooter events. For example, one listed shooting at Savannah State University in Georgia involved just two people, neither of whom were students.
16. Where’s Melania? - Multiple CNN reporters speculated about the whereabouts of Melania Trump after a scheduled kidney surgery and then denied responsibility for any resulting conspiracy theories. While Stelter blamed random internet commenters for conspiracy theories about plastic surgery or a move back to NYC, CNN repeated such theories in an article and even asked Melania’s spokesperson to comment on them.
17. Fake News About Fake News - CNN cited a study from the Oxford Internet Institute to claim that fake news targeted swing states during the 2016 presidential election. However, the study says nothing of the sort; Twitter users didn’t receive nearly as much “fake news” as CNN initially claimed to readers.
18. Trump (Not) Ignorant About Japanese Cars - CNN Money’s Daniel Shane accused Pres Trump of not knowing that Japan makes cars in the US, however when reading his full remarks — which Shane left out — it's clear that the president was making a joke and knows that Japanese manufacturers make cars in the U.S. Shane ended up issuing a correction on his article.
19. Hands Up, Fake News - A CNN panel consisting of Margaret Hoover, Sally Kohn, Sunny Hostin and Mel Robbins displayed the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture in 2014 while talking about marches against police violence. The gesture seemed to be a reference to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. While initial reports speculated that Brown had his hands up when he was shot by Darren Wilson, the DOJ concluded in a report in 2015 - physical and forensic evidence showed Brown’s hands could not have been above his waist.
20. Peace Be With You - CNN deceptively edited a video of Sherelle Smith and Kimberly Neal, the sisters of an unarmed black man who was shot by police. They claimed the two sisters were “calling for peace” amidst riots in their neighborhood. However, in a longer video, Sherelle says, “Y’all burning down s—t we need in our community. Take that s—t to the suburbs. Burn that s—t down. We need our s—t. We need our weaves. I don’t wear it. But we need it.” CNN removed the portion of their report about Sherelle and owned up to their error.

2-20-19, * -- Listen and learn, addled enablers of fraud. The current Jussie Smollett “Fake Noose” hustle is a sick phenomenon that has run rampantly unchecked across the USA. Michelle Malkin has chronicled the self-victimization pathology for years; here’s a list:

1. Columbia University, 2007 - Psychology professor Madonna Constantine made the rounds on none other than ABC’s “Good Morning America,” claiming she found a “degrading” noose (made of hand-tied twine) hanging from her office door. It turned out she was desperately trying to distract from a brewing internal probe of her serial plagiarism and was eventually fired. Constantine faced no criminal charges over the Fake Noose incident.
2. Baltimore Fire Department, 2007 – A black firefighter-paramedic apprentice Donald Maynard claimed he found a knotted rope and threatening note with a noose drawing on it at his stationhouse. A federal civil rights investigation ensued and the NAACP cried racism — until Maynard confessed it was a fraud but faced no criminal charges over the Fake Noose incident.
3. University of Delaware, 2015 -- Black Lives Matter agitators and campus activists triggered a full alert when a student spotted a “racist display” of three “noose-like objects” hanging from trees. Police discovered the “nooses” were metal “remnants of paper lanterns” hung as decorations during an alumni weekend celebration.
4. Salisbury State University, 2016 -- Students, faculty and administrators were horrified when a stick figure hanging from a noose on a whiteboard was discovered at the school’s library. The N-word and hashtag #WhitePower also appeared in the menacing graffiti. Campus authorities immediately launched an investigation, which exposed two black students as the perpetrators. No charges filed against the Fake Noosers.
5. Kansas State University, 2017 -- A paroxysm of protest struck K-State after someone reported a noose hanging from a tree on campus. Black students lambasted authorities for not acting quickly enough. They stoked anger online with the hashtag #DontLeaveUsHanging and demanded increased security. But the “noose” was made of cut pieces of nylon parachute cord, which police believed had been discarded by someone who “may have simply been practicing tying different kinds of knots.”
6. Michigan State University, 2017 -- When a MSU student reported a noose hanging outside her dorm room, school administrators went into full freakout mode over the racial incident. Cops and the Office of Institutional Equity were immediately notified. “A noose is a symbol of intimidation and threat that has a horrendous history in America,” the university president bemoaned. But it turned out the “noose” was a “packaged leather shoelace” that someone had accidentally dropped.
7. Smithsonian museums, 2017 -- NPR called the discovery of “nooses” lying on the grounds of two Smithsonian Institute museums the “latest in a string of hate incidents” after Trump’s election. The African-American museum director called them a “reminder of America’s dark history.” But the museums refused to release surveillance video and my public records request filed last November yielded zero corroboration of any hate crime. The Washington Post, New York Times and ABC’s “Good Morning America,” which all splashed the story front and center, have yet to follow up.
8. Mississippi State Capitol, 2018 -- ABC, CBS, CNN and Yahoo were among the media outlets that blared headlines about seven nooses and “hate signs” found hanging in trees by the capitol building before a special runoff election for U.S. Senate. The stories created an unmistakable impression that the nooses were left by GOP racists intending to intimidate black voters. In truth, the nooses were a publicity stunt perpetrated by Democrats.
9. Jussie Smollett, February 2019 -- Chicago police believe ‘Empire’ actor, Jussie Smollett PAID two brothers – by check, $3500.00 to attack him. The rope was purchased at Ace Hardware, the receipt was found. Jussie was arrested and charged for filing a false police report; he has been released on bond and lost his job. Daily Mail Report Here

In the wake of Smollett’s folly, media sensationalists bluster that there’s no way they could have known they were being strung along. Thanks for the valuable admission, elite news professionals, that you are not only dumb and blind but incompetent to boot. It doesn’t take a fancy journalism degree to learn from the long, sordid history of Fake Noose: When you’ve seen one social justice huckster, you’ve seen ’em all. *Excerpted and adapted full original report here

2-15-19, In Illinois Gary Montez Martin opened fire at a manufacturing facility warehouse in Aurora. He murdered five people and wounded several police officers before he was shot and killed by law enforcement.

Martin shouldn't have been allowed to own his firearm. He purchased a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber handgun in 2014, but was later discovered to have been convicted of an aggravated assault charge back in 1995 when he tried to apply for a concealed carry permit and was allowed to purchase the gun in error.  As a result, authorities wrote him a nice letter asking him to turn in his gun; if he was a law abiding citizen he would have ... but he wasn't.

Once again gun control laws already in place weren’t enforced; killers don't care about 'stupid' laws. More here

​​2-14-19, * -- In January 2019, the winter freeze might have shut down entire cities, but it couldn't slow down job growth as the economy roared through the cold and shattered projections with 304,000 non-farm jobs. Under Pres Trump there were job gains everywhere from transportation (27,000) to health care (42,000) to hospitality (74,000), construction gained 338,000 jobs in 12 months while manufacturing picked up 261,000 jobs in that same period. There was good news for many industries, but bad news for one. Alas, the poor fake news media.

The media is freezing colder than the polar vortex with thousands of lost jobs in January and February 2019. 

Miller vs Acosta: Statue of Liberty Poem | Here
Aug 2, 2017, President Trump's senior adviser, Stephen Miller, had to give a history lesson to CNN's Jim Acosta. Miller informed Acosta that to become a naturalized U.S. citizen speaking English is already required. But, moreover the poem Acosta quoted was not on the original statue but was added later. “When the Goddess of Liberty was given to the United States (in 1886) its donor’s agenda was to burnish France’s republican roots after the oppressive reign of Napoleon III and to celebrate the two nations’ commitment to the principles of liberty,” the New York Times reported in 2011.

2-11-19, Natural News -- In a series of shocking Apple “demand” emails containing screen captures showing lists of Natural News articles, the tech giant has demanded we stop publishing articles critical of abortions or Satanism, threatening to block our app from all Apple devices if demands are not met. Some of the headlines named by Apple as “objectionable” include our reports on Satanism, vampirism and blood harvesting from children, vaccines, cannabis, freedom of speech, the failed war on drugs, anti-Semitism and more.This is the first time that a dominant tech company has overtly come out in defense of Satanism while threatening to censor a prominent publisher that exposes the evils of Satanic influence. Many will realize this as yet more proof that Apple, along with other tech giants, are literally aligned with Satan and is exploiting its power of censorship to silence those who criticize Satanism.

​Also, with the push for human infanticide in many US states and the legalization of the serial killing of infants, tech giants like Apple are serving as the censorship “speech police” to silence all criticism of the gruesome, barbaric inhumane practice.

In threatening Natural News over our coverage of infanticide and abortions, Apple is staking out the position of being pro-infanticide, and anyone who dares to speak up for innocent children is deemed by Apple to be engaged in “hate speech.” ​More here

12-12-18, * -- This week, I did something that USA Today’s executive leadership apparently hadn’t done lately: I read the newspaper’s “principles of ethical conduct for newsrooms.” It’s pretty highfalutin. The media manifesto of virtue, posted online, applies to all employees “working with any news platform, including newspapers, websites, mobile devices, video, social media channels and live story events.”
 
Whether writing online or covering breaking developments, USA Today’s journalists are supposedly committed to:

• Seeking and reporting the truth in a truthful way.
• Serving the public interest.
• Exercising fair play.
• Acting with integrity.

 
Now, let’s compare the lofty rhetoric with low-blow reality.
 
On Sunday, 12/9/18 twenty-one year-old University of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray won the Heisman Trophy. He gave a gracious, emotional speech that celebrated his faith in God, respect for his fellow athletes, love of family, lifelong work ethic and team spirit; he humbly told reporters:

“I’ve worked my whole life to fulfill my goals, but at the same time, I know there’s a higher power looking down on me. He enables me to do all things. For that I’m grateful — for the many blessings that God has blessed me with.”

However, one USA Today sports writer Scott Gleeson wasn't interested in covering the actual news of the Heisman winner’s triumph; only sabotaging it. Within hours of the press conference, Gleeson penned an article attacking Murray for posting “tweets using an anti-gay slur.” Monday morning, 12/10/18 the Murray family awoke to a barrage of character smears slamming his “homophobic” posts from six years ago — when Kyler was 14 or 15 years old and jokingly called his friends “queer.” Google became clogged with wall-to-wall coverage of his teenage antics. [But the homosexuals call themselves ‘queer’ – Ed.]

My inquiry to Nicole Carroll and executive editor for news Jeff Taylor:
“How does Gleeson’s article comport with USA Today’s stated principles of ethical conduct for newsrooms? Specifically, how did the piece...” :

• “serve the public interest?”
• “exercise fair play?”
• "exhibit fairness in relations with people unaccustomed to dealing with news media?”
• "observe standards of decency” and demonstrate “integrity?”

The editors have not responded yet. Tick tock.

Kyler Murray wins the 2018 Heisman Trophy
12-8-18, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray was named the winner of the 2018 Heisman Trophy. Murray is the second straight quarterback from Oklahoma to win the award. The final results revealed that the Murray received 2,167 points. Tua Tagovailoa of Alabama received 1,871 points. Dwayne Haskins of Ohio State finished third with 783 points. Murray led the Sooners to a 12-1 record and a Big-12 title with 4,053 passing yards and 51 total touchdowns. Murray is the first Heisman winner not to win the Walter Camp Player of the Year, which was award to Tagovailoa; Murray did win the AP Player of the Year and the Davey O’Brien Award.

.No. 1 US utility PG&E prepares bankruptcy filing after California wildfires
1-14-19,  The huge #1 California utility company, PG&e said the bankruptcy process will not affect electric or natural gas services as its shares plunged 55 percent on Monday, 1-14-19 to $8.92, giving it a market capitalization of less than $5 billion. 
On November 8, 2018 shares of PG&E Corp. (NYSE: PCG) closed near $49. A week later at just over $17. What happened in between may lead the largest gas and electric utility in northern California to file for bankruptcy protection - wildfires. In 2001 the company filed for bankruptcy following a run-up in wholesale electricity prices that were later linked to Enron’s manipulation of the California power market.  Former governor Gray Davis used state funds to bail out PG&E; will it happen again? New governor, Gavin Newsom is unlikely to want to follow in Davis’s footsteps and may be willing to let PG&E go through with a debtor-in-possession plan.

The Biggest Jet Engines in History Are Finally Ready to Power
​1-7-19, Popular Mechanics -- In February 2019 Boeing is set to debut its biggest plane - the 777X  and it has been paired with the gargantuan GE9X engine. ​More here

The plane is currently housed in Boeing's Everett, Washington, assembly plant, where pictures show it looming over workers as they prepare it for its maiden flight. The GE9X engine is the biggest turbine engine in the world. At roughly the size of an entire Boeing 737's fuselage, it was subjected to test flights last March when a single turbine was hitched to a 747 testbed. More here and here

1-2-19, PJMedia -- In late December 2018, New York residents spotted a white and blue "Muslim Community Patrol" (MCP) vehicle that looks like an official NYPD vehicle. NYPD spokesperson, Sergeant Jessica McRorie said, "This is not an NYPD vehicle. The NYPD did not outfit or label this vehicle. This group is not officially sanctioned by the NYPD and they are subject to the law."

The New York Post reported on the Muslim Community Patrol vehicle on Christmas Eve last year. The Muslim Community Patrol joined the Jewish population's Shomrim and the Brooklyn Asian Safety Patrol, longstanding religious and racial community groups that provide security for local minorities.

The Post found the patrol car — a white Ford Taurus with the MCP insignia nearly identical to those of an NYPD patrol car with the words "Muslim Community Patrol" where an official police vehicle would read "Courtesy Professionalism Respect" — cruising on Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn's Bay Ridge, a local community with a growing Muslim population.

Real-World Witches Are Upset at Trump's Use of 'Witch Hunt' | More here
12-31-18, ChristianHeadlines.com -- Real-World Witches Are Upset at Trump's Use of 'Witch Hunt.' One unidentified witch told CNN, “There’s a lot to be offended by by Donald Trump. … His use of the term ‘witch hunt’ is very low on that list of priorities for most witches. But nevertheless, it does demonstrate his ignorance, as usual.” Plenty of observers, though, are amused by the controversy. As one person tweeted: “I guess he will have to start referring to it as a Wild Goose chase, but then, that might offend geese.” So stupid.

CNN ripped for segment on witches offended by Donald Trump | More here
12-31-18, WashTimes -- After CNN aired a segment showcasing self-described witches who are offended by President Trump's repeated use of the word "witch hunt" the network faced ridicule.“Witches of the world have a problem with President Trump. Here’s Jeanne Moos,” CNN host Kate Bolduan declared before cutting to a report by Ms. Moos on “OutFront.” Ridiculous.

12-10-18, Dan Flynn of Van Texas wants God's TEN COMMANDMENTS back in Texas public schools so he filed House Bill 307. It says school officials — particularly school board trustees — cannot prevent copies of those commandments from being posted “in a prominent location” in classrooms. Flynn said: “I think it’s a good idea. If a teacher wants to put it in her classroom, she should be able to do it just as if she wanted to put up Halloween, Thanksgiving or any other decorations. I think it’s a good list of disciplines that young people would find very meaningful to them.”

​Flynn has unsuccessfully proposed this measure in past legislative sessions. He noted there are monuments — such as the one on the Texas Capitol grounds — that are dedicated to the Ten Commandments. The one in Austin, that features the commandments carved into Texas Sunset Red Granite, was erected by the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Texas in 1961.

In November, voters in Alabama approved a constitutional amendment allowing the Ten Commandments to be displayed in government buildings and schools. When asked if this could spark a legal battle, Flynn said: “I don’t know why it should. It’s just allowing teachers to put something in their room that is about good values.” ​More here

12-7-18, Ohio -- Potter's Field* workers, Kenneth Bryant and Jordan Cole were driving from Montana to Pennsylvania for a pastor's conference when their truck broke down. Jordan said:

"We escaped being crushed by a semi because we heard a voice, and it was to get out of the truck - I looked and I saw a semi swerving toward us. We jumped out; God kept us safe, God kept us alive.”

Both men absolutely believe they know Who saved them and why; Kenneth said:

“We’ve come to the conclusion that it was Jesus. He allowed this to happen for me to be able to share this story...for people to know that our Heavenly Father is mindful of us. There's a purpose for your life, you do have a reason to be living and it’s God’s perfect timing.” ​More here *Potter's Field Ministry, Montana here

10-29-18, * -- At the TREE OF LIFE JEWISH SYNAGOGUE in Pennsylvania, suspect Robert Bowers, 48, during his rampage yelling “all Jews must die” killed eleven and injured six, including four police officers. 

On Saturday, Oct 27, 2018, in response to the murders and those who were injured President Trump spoke out saying:
“This wicked act of mass murder is pure evil, This was an anti-Semitic act. You wouldn’t think this would be possible in this day and age. Our minds cannot comprehend the cruel hate and twisted malice that could cause a person to unleash such terrible violence, during a baby naming ceremony at a sacred house of worship on the holy day of Sabbath. Anti-Semitism and the widespread persecution of Jews represents one of the ugliest and darkest features in human history. Anti-Semitism must be condemned and confronted everywhere and anywhere it appears. I think they should stiffen up laws and should very much bring the death penalty to anybody who does a thing like this to innocent people.”

That was not exactly the case when, under Obama in 2009, U.S. Army psychiatrist Muslim Nidal Hasan. Who had been emailing Islamic terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki about the prospect of killing infidel Americans, and the “Soldier of Allah” [as he called himself] did everything but take out an ad on the Super Bowl to announce his jihadist intentions.

The U.S. security establishment was well aware of the communications, but did nothing to stop Hasan. And on November 5, 2009, at Ford Hood, Texas, as unarmed U.S. soldiers were getting their final medical checkups before deploying to Afghanistan. Hasan massacred 13 as he yelled “Allahu akbar.”

POTUS #44, formerly known as Barry Soetoro, did not use words such as “mass murder,” “wicked,” or “evil” for that attack. It took place at an Army base and as commander in chief surely he was briefed on the shooter, his battle cry and that he was shot in the act. Yet, following the attack Obama declined to comment on Muslim’s motive saying,  “We don’t know all the answers yet and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”

Not until December 2015, in a comparison with the San Bernardino Islamic mass murder did POTUS 44 connect the attack with Islam or jihad and did not use the words “terror” or “terrorist.” 

In the wake of the current October 27, 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, imagine if:

• President Trump’s administration knew the killer Robert Bowers was planning an attack and did nothing to stop him.
• President Trump refused to speculate on the shooter’s motive, declining to denounce anti-Semitism and hatred. 
• President Trump had not mentioned “murder” at all and passed off the attack as “worship-place violence.”
• President Trump contrived to keep the survivors from getting the medical treatment they needed.

Well, that's what happened under Obama and there was no real outcry.

​Yet, the media, during Obama’s stint in the White House, saw over 280 murders like this – the media never accused Obama to be the cause like they are currently doing to #45 President Trump. Outrageous.
