What did Joe Biden know about the Russia collusion hoax?
4-10-19, DailyTorch --  On Jan. 20, 2017 former National Security Advisor Susan Rice sent herself an email about a Jan. 5, 2017 meeting Obama's Oval Office; she wrote, On January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office.  Vice President Biden and I were also present.” [..] she denies that the meeting covered the Steele dossier allegations at all, denies knowing there as an active FBI investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016, and denies knowing that there were ongoing FISA warrants and surveillance into the Trump campaign and then transition. [..] the Democrats should nominate Biden if they want this albatross to remain around their necks. The Russia collusion hoax will be hung around Biden as a mark of shame for eviscerating the Constitution — and the American people will never forget. If Biden runs for president, he must be made to answer for how the Obama administration he served in could spy on the opposition party in an election year at the behest of the Clinton campaign, and if he doesn’t have a good answer that isn’t some version of “I learned about it in the newspaper,” he must be unequivocally rejected.

Turkey Pres Erdogan Just Committed Political Suicide | More here

5-6-19, Reuters -- Turkey Istanbul Mayoral candidates from both Turkey’s ruling AK party and the main opposition said they would again run for election in Istanbul on June 23, 2019 after results from an initial vote were scrapped. More here

5-10-19, FP -- Erdogan may have triggered a Turkish "Spring" ... there are now two parallel justice systems in Turkey: one for Erdogan’s cronies and supporters and one for everyone else. 

On Mar 31, 2019 Turkey’s Supreme Election Council annulled the  Istanbul municipal elections that the opposition had defeated Turkish Pres Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Dev Party (AKP). [..snip] There's something different about this intervention ... in 2017, it took more than one month of intense public pressure from Erdogan for the election council to overturn a perfectly legitimate election—it was a process for all to see. Erdogan has transformed Turkey into a one-person authoritarian system in which all institutions are under his control.  He will come to bitterly regret his decision to overturn the Istanbul election, primarily because it demonstrates that he is losing power and is running scared. He is terrified of any potential mobilization of civil society. His paranoia leads him to see plots everywhere and to incessantly purge the bureaucracy, military and society of real but mostly imaginary enemies.

Coup By the Devil!

5-13-19, * -- A member of Congress, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) admitted that the deep state, the Democrat Party, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and the media were attempting a coup against a duly elected President.  On May 10, 2019, Rep Gohmert told Breitbart Daily News, "This came very close to being the first successful coup since our Constitution went into effect in 1789. We are not having it, and we're going to put people in jail that were part of this. That's got to happen." This is a public admission by an elected official that our government was in danger of being overthrown. Unlike military coups, this continues to be a coup attempt pitting political will against legal principles to undermine the will of the people. [..snip]
 
The Daily Jot attention is to be focused on a higher kingdom. Many claim government and affairs of America should be of no interest to Christians. I couldn't disagree more. Our Constitution guarantees religious freedom and free speech. This has resulted in America being a beacon of Christ in spreading the gospel both in America and around the world. We are blessed beyond imagination because of religious freedom. To say that the affairs of government are of no interest to Christians is an ignorant position.

"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

Moreover, being so heavenly minded that one is no earthly good is become a predominant reason why the nation and its citizens are exiting Christianity.

Perhaps, that's the real coup ... one by the devil.

Admission by Nadler threatens Democrats' effort to drag AG Barr b4 a Fed Judge
5-12-19, WashTimes -- As Democrats push forward with a plan to haul Attorney Gen Wm Barr before a federal judge for contempt of Congress, a stunning admission by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler that he “never intended” to force Mr. Barr to release confidential grand jury information, which under federal law is severely restricted. Law professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley said if Mr. Nadler did not want the attorney general to release the grand jury information, the subpoena would have explicitly stated so, “There seems to be a disconnect between the language of the subpoena and prior statements of the committee and what was most recently stated by Nadler."

Luke 18:1-8

✝️Pastor Steve Cioccolanti of Melbourne, Australia ministered at House of Destiny. Here is his prophetic word before Israel's election on 9 April 2019 and the US Presidential election in November 2020.

Deut 32:4
 "He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He."

Bible has a lot to say about governmental justice - the church has abdicated our role. The Bible is a political book - Pres Trump is not a perfect man - but Pastor Steve said he is an agent of justice.

In Revelation 2:20 Jesus said: "I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols."

Pastor Steve asks, "What gives the church stamina and strength?" ... we know at the end there will be justice! We need to see the spirit of Elijah! If we pray correctly ... I prophesy that IF Donald Trump gets this message that he's been called an agent of justice; he will win re-election and win the US Senate and House of Representatives back for the Republicans.

Steve discusses the USA Democrat's attempts to power grabs trying to defeat Trump by changing the rules of the presidential election.

We read in God's word how He started with laws = justice! The church is so overly focused on love, forgiveness, mercy and grace ... too often law is ignored...

Psalm 91:1-5

Proverbs 31:10-11, 12-13, 14-31

5-10-19, * -- A society that does not know the Lord Jesus and treats Him or removes Him from everyday life is a society without measure or direction. Our western culture, our western society, in America specifically, God is becoming more and more absent in the public square. He is disappearing. Without His presence, we have nothing left to offer. [John 15:4-5] If this is true, and I believe you all know He is disappearing from our everyday lives, then evil exists and destroys and without intervention, this becomes a matter of course. 1 Peter 5:8; James 4:7
 
Our current President is doing his best, but time is not on his side. And the daily circumstances he faces are extraordinary (beyond what a normal human can comprehend or handle). Faith is more than a daily prayer. Faith is a fundamental way of life and our leadership needs the faithful more today than ever (WWII, The Civil War, and the American Revolutionary Periods are likely equivalents). Romans 12:21] However, in those eras of history, faith in God was vastly more present (and not an afterthought or a once a month meeting of the religious).
 
My father, Master Sergeant, US Army Retired and now deceased, Charles Flynn (a WWII & Korean War Vet) taught me as a young child when He was trying to instill something deeper into my faith’s psyche: “There’re no atheists in a foxhole.” John 14:27
 
Please continue to stand courageously against the evil we face and fight the good and faithful fight of the Almighty. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

3. Be Born Again - “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:5–7).

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away” (Matthew 5:38–42)
15. Love Your Enemies - “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?” (Matthew 5:44–46).
16. Be Perfect - “If ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:46–48).

When thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly” (Matthew 6:1–18).
18. Lay Up Treasures - “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19–21).

23. Do Unto Others - “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matthew 7:12).
24. Choose the Narrow Way - “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13–14).
25. Beware of False Prophets - “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” (Matthew 7:15–16).

For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” (Luke 9:23–25).
34. Despise Not Little Ones - “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10).

What media won't tell you about Trump and China - WND

5-10-19, WND.com -- Exclusive: Curtis Ellis cites 7 examples of Beijing's predatory practices. ... In fact, the Trump tariffs represent the first line of defense against China’s economic aggression against the U.S. and American private enterprise. Media commentators have downplayed or largely ignored ...  the forecasters’ doom and gloom never came to pass. The commentators who criticize the president for imposing tariffs don’t explain what they would do to punish China for its predatory actions and duplicitous dealings. Instead, they invoke economic dogma that says tariffs are pure economic poison. Never mind that their incantations don’t explain why China has prospered even as it has maintained the highest tariffs in the world.

Inflation is flat, and the latest numbers on economic growth for the first quarter of 2019 show 3.2 percent annual real GDP growth – an astonishingly good number. Fully 1 point of that GDP growth was due to reducing the trade deficit with China through the Trump tariffs. Thanks to tariffs, we see more investment in production in the U.S. and less off-shoring of American factories to China.

Here’s the biggest point the media commentariat has missed:

This is not about cheap T-shirts and TVs.

5-11-19, According to the latest numbers, the USA bought 539.5 billion dollars worth of goods from China last year, but they only purchased 120.3 billion dollars worth of goods from us.  For years they have been slapping enormous tariffs on the USA, stealing our intellectual property and making it exceedingly difficult for U.S. businesses to do business over there. They have been flooding our shores with cheap goods produced by government-subsidized businesses. So the USA can either allow them to keep taking advantage of us, or we can stand up for ourselves. But let there be no doubt – standing up to China will be extremely painful economically. 
 
Standing up to China definitely needs to be done, but it is very difficult to see how this is going to end pleasantly. In an unexpected development – President Trump began the process of raising tariffs on all remaining imports from China, valued at approximately $300 billion; increasing tariffs from 10% to 25%. This potential trade war is going to affect ‘the people’ [American consumers] in a number of different ways.

1. significantly higher prices at major retailers… price increases will be felt most acutely at large retail chains such as Wal-Mart that purchase goods in massive quantities from China.
2. according to the Trade Partnership analysis a 25% tariff on the remaining $325 billion in goods the U.S. imports from China, may cost the U.S. 2.1 million jobs and the average family of four more than $2,000 a year.
3. an extended trade war would mean big trouble for global financial markets.  Over 2 trillion dollars of global stock market wealth has been wiped out so far, but that is nothing compared to what could be coming…
4. Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist at LPL Financial said, “If the deal totally falls apart, we think there’s a pretty big chance of a market correction.” US stocks could fall as much as 5% over the next month.
   
5. It has been calculated this would result in a 2.1% hit to U.S. GDP in 2020, pushing the economy into recession later this year.
6. China’s economy would contract by 2.5%, while Europe and Japan would see average GDP losses of 1.5% and world GDP would be reduced by 1.7%.

Trump administration can’t back down now, or else it would lose all credibility. We shall see what happens.  As always, let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst. Price increases expected on: industrial equipment, machinery, clothing, hats, TVs, computer parts and food.

​Kate Smith’s niece demands ‘cowardly’ Yankees let fans decide on banning her song, 'GOD BLESS AMERICA'
5-4-19, New York Post· “Kate Smith’s niece, a furious Suzy Andron, 72 is standing up for her beloved aunt's song should be banned. She said: “The people on the Yankees who did this are cowards!" of the team’s decision to stop playing Smith’s 1938 recording of the patriotic favorite. The Bombers’ ban came amid allegations that two of Smith’s songs had racist lyrics, including a 1939 tune called “That’s Why the Darkies Were Born” [that was a comedy satire!] The heartbroken niece is demanding a meeting with Yankees executives and wants fans to decide if her beloved aunt’s rousing performance of “God Bless America” — which became a seventh-inning stretch staple at Yankee Stadium following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks — should continue.

Isaiah 62:6; Ezekiel 3:17-18, 33:6

5-10-19, * -- The church, as we perceive it in the West, is about to die. This is not something to rejoice over. Even though it may be far from the church that Jesus will build, it has accomplished much and will die in honor. It is a parallel of the life of Rachel, Jacob's wife, who died when Israel's last son, Benjamin was born [Genesis 35:18]. Benjamin represents the last sons of God to be born on the earth. Like Rachel, the church will give birth to the"Son of His right hand" [Luke 22:69], but it will take her life. So this means she will have been a mother to the last-day ministry, and we honor our fathers and mothers.

The [Martin Luther's] Reformation helped the church dig its way out of a deep darkness, but even as far as Christianity has advanced over the last 500 years, we have much further to go. [1 Timothy 2:5 4:1; Acts 4:12] Everything is speeding up. 
However, what will happen will not happen through the continued reformation of the present model of the church. There's a new breed of ministry about to be released. It will be a people who walk in radical, revolutionary faith and power. This is such a new wine that the old model cannot contain it [Luke 5:38]. For this reason we should not despair when the old model dies, but rightfully honor the “Rachel” that carried and given birth to the new breed.

Once we see our purpose, we can see how the church in America has deviated from its calling and how the same thing has happened in our civil government. "We the people" in America are the sovereign. The government of the republic is designed to be subject to us; therefore, primary blame for having our authority usurped lies ultimately with us for allowing it to happen. The people will also be the ones who wake up and recover what has been lost. [..snip] A new breed of radical, revolutionary patriot will arise in America, and not just America—in nations around the world. God established the nations and gave them boundaries. He said anyone who moved the ancient boundaries would be cursed. [Deuteronomy 19:14; Proverbs 22:28; Job 24:2] 

The Lord's first warning about these times was, "Do not be deceived." [Luke 21:8] Deception is far more common than truth today [in the government, media & the church]. The message of the typical American church today would be unrecognizable to the apostles of the first century. [Example: Prosperity & Chrislam ‘gospels’]  The disconnect from truth has come the same way in the US government and media that it has in the church. Of course, this is not true in every church or the entire government or media. It's easy to see in the current media how there's a tendency to report what they want to be true rather than what is true. Isn't that also how the false churches have changed God's Gospel? How they 'want' it to be rather than how it truthfully is? 

True humility is being teachable and responsive enough to change or to expand our concepts and beliefs. This too is repentance and it is coming. [Proverbs 11:2; 29:23; Luke 14:11; James 4:6]

Ephesians 2:8; Romans 11:5; Galatians 1:15; Titus 3:7; Ephesians 1:5-6; 2:7; Romans 5:21

5-9-19, ** -- When a business, industry, state or city decides to jump on the liberal "woke*" bandwagon, basically alienating half the nation, they’ll see dramatic loss of revenue and well being; examples:

1. Dick's Sporting Goods banned sales of guns to anyone under age 21 although a legal adult is 18 - the company lost $150 million in sales.
2. Natl Football League [NFL] permitted their players - during official games - to kneel during the US National Anthem and disrespect of the American flag.  Ratings tanked and has been forced to make $20 million in cuts slashing shows.

 
Both Dick’s & NFL decided to jump into politically divisive issues and in 2018 a study found that "intense sports fans, tend to endorse conservative policies.” So, they alienated the majority of their base; apparently forgotting the golden rule of business: Know your base, your customers and cater to them because that is what business is about.... the customers.
 
Hollywood and the comedy industry are dying because of the social justice monster.
Many comedians have decried how "political correctness," which is a favored tool of censorship for liberals, is "killing comedy."

• Mel Brooks: "We have become stupidly politically correct, which is the death of comedy. Comedy has to walk a thin line, take risks."
• Jerry Seinfeld: "I don’t play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges, they’re so PC."
• Gilbert Gottfried wrote "The Apology Epidemic," stating: "Imagine if the most brilliant comedians in history were working today. They’d never stop apologizing.”

 
Liberal ‘woke’ cities in California [Oakland & San Francisco] are destitute as they have the highest of taxes, most stringent of gun control and they suffer the most poverty and high murder rates. The high cost of living and lack of jobs is causing a grand exodus of the liberal ‘woke’ states.
 
The restaurant who is now #3 in the nation, Chick-fil-A is a success story that refused to submit when they were boycotted by the liberal tyrants. The company was created on and still honors Christian values on traditional marriage.  
 
Conclusion is simple you get liberally "woke" you’ll go broke, cause death, destruction and destitution, but if you refuse to cave to the liberal social justice monsters, you survive and thrive.....and are, in fact, happier people. Proverbs 3:9; Philippians 4:12-13; James 1:2-3
 
*Woke: According to Urban Dictionary - "The act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue." The problem we see today stems from the overuse by liberal social justice monsters who think that being "woke" is an excuse to manufacture outrage over just about anything that offends their delicate sensibilities.

5-9-19, Rami Dabbas* -- As an Arab activist and writer, I call on the Arab world to normalize relations with Israel, a move that would be almost entirely to our benefit alone. Israel will gain very little from this in practical terms, while Arabs stand to gain tremendously. The state of Israel is stronger and more stable than the Arab states on almost all fronts. [..snip]

The conflict over land must be put into perspective. The land which officially became the State of Israel was originally Jewish territory, one that was later controlled by a series of conquerors, including Arab-Muslims. The latter are the true occupiers, and they are fighting to reverse the reestablishment of Jewish sovereignty. Any sane person knows—or should know–that the Jews are not colonialists in this region, but rather an indigenous people. But we Arabs have grown arrogant to the point of denying all historical records of Jewish sovereignty preceding Arab-Muslim rule in the Middle East. The Hebrew language alone is evidence enough of  long Jewish history in the land of Israel.
​
Even in my country of Jordan, which is officially at peace with Israel, we still hear the term “resistance to normalization” with the hated “Zionist enemy.” My people don’t understand that Israel is actually our friend, and that if we followed the Jewish state’s example then we, too, would become prosperous like America and Europe.  Instead, we remain under the influence of an Islamic colonization that keeps us living a backward and primitive existence. Some examples: take a look at Israel’s universities compared to ours, its hospitals compared to ours, Israel’s technology compared to ours (if you can find any).

Israeli scientific research is often ahead of what’s coming out of Europe and America, while we Arabs wallow in the dark ages. Despite all our hostility, Israel still wants to live in peace with the Arabs.

Our region is really the home of the Jewish, Aramaic and Syriac cultures. The Arabs came from the Arabian Peninsula and they colonized and obliterated those indigenous cultures. Over time, those original peoples began to forget and abandon their cultures and assimilate into Arab civilization. The Arabs are the original occupiers, and have no right to deny the return of the Jewish nation.

I call for normalization: for the recognition of the right of the Jews to exercise sovereignty in their ancestral lands. We Arabs came from the Hijaz, Najd and Yemen. We occupied this land and made it Arab. Some of the Syriac and Aramaic words we still use today, as well as the recorded names of settlements uncovered in archaeological digs. This demonstrates the proof that we are not the original inhabitants here. It is time to solve this conflict, and that begins with us, the Arabs, accepting the Jewish people’s true historical connection to this land. We have everything to gain from so doing.

Can we really blame Jews for returning to a land from which they were forcibly expelled?

Revelation 3:10

5-8-19, Archives Oswald Chambers* -- Perseverance means more than endurance— more than simply holding on until the end. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, but our Lord continues to stretch and strain, and every once in a while the saint says, “I can’t take any more.” Yet God pays no attention; He goes on stretching until His purpose is in sight, and then He lets the arrow fly.

Entrust yourself to God’s hands.

Is there something in your life for which you need perseverance right now? Maintain your intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through the perseverance of faith. Proclaim as Job did:

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
Job 13:15

Faith is not some weak and pitiful emotion, but is strong and vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love. And even though you cannot see Him right now and cannot understand what He is doing, you know Him. Disaster occurs in your life when you lack the mental composure that comes from establishing yourself on the eternal truth that God is holy love. Faith is the supreme effort of your life— throwing yourself with abandon and total confidence upon God. Habakkuk 3:17-18

God ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us, [John 3:16] and now He wants us to venture our all with total abandoned confidence in Him. There are areas in our lives where that faith has not worked in us as yet— places still untouched by the life of God. There were none of those places in Jesus Christ’s life, and there are to be none in ours. Jesus prayed, “This is eternal life, that they may know You…” (John 17:3).

The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering. If we will take this view, life will become one great romance— a glorious opportunity of seeing wonderful things all the time. God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power. Romans 5:2; 1 John 5:20

4-23-19, Reported by FANA News in Ethiopia, at least 28 hippopotamus were found dead in a national park. The giant semi-aquatic creatures died in the Gibe Sheleko National Park, part of the Gibe River that is the largest tributary of the Omo River in southwestern Ethiopia. Ms Bahrua Mega reported the cause of death is unknown; she said the deaths of 15 of the hippos died in a single day. The national park is home to nearly 200 hippos; they are huge the males weight appx 3300 pounds and the females 2800 pounds. The Park is appx 13,900 square miles. More here

5-7-19,   Natural News -- Leftist extremism continues to soar to new heights with the rise of Extinction Rebellion, an international group of far left activists who are now threatening to destroy the global economy to stop climate change. Outrage activism seems to be really popular on the Left; at this point liberals are known for rioting in the streets with no actual plans for change.

In a recent interview, an Extinction Rebellion spokesperson declared, “The only way we’ve realized the Government will listen to us is if we actually start to ruin the economy.” And of course by “listen,” what these climate lunatics really mean is “acquiesce to our demands.” Extinction Rebellion’s list of demands not only neglects reality, it will open the door to total communism in the U.K. To put it simply, these “activists” are now attempting to resort to hostage tactics in order to usher in a New World Order.

Making a list of wholly unrealistic demands that require total subservience without having a single idea of how to implement meaningful change is not “activism.” It’s totalitarianism. Demands list for fighting the “climate crisis.” On their website, the group declares it has just three demands for the United Kingdom:

• Government must “tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency” and work with other organizations to promote this message.
• Government must take action to “halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.”
• Government “must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.

Getting to zero carbon would ultimately require massive cuts to personal freedom and a huge uptick in government regulation. Zero carbon would usher in a period of huge social change.

1. Energy would be stringently rationed, dedicated to survival and essential activities;
2. we’d go to bed early and rise with the sun.
3. Expect massive disruption in the way food is grown, processed and distributed – more turnips, fewer mangoes on the menu in the U.K. for starters.
4. Globally, there would be much-reduced private car use,
5. virtually no aviation, haulage or shipping
6. dramatic end to material globalization as we know it

​This is where the Citizen’s Assembly comes in, to demand citizens give up their freedom for the “greater good.” And this is where it becomes clear that all this mayhem was never about the environment to begin with. It’s about creating a new world order, a new status quo under a leftist regime. ​More here

FLASHBACK TO 2012: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has been leading the effort to hold Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress, claiming the move is needed to stem a “constitutional crisis.” HOWEVER, he felt completely differently back when Republicans held then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for rejecting demands to turn over documents about the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal.

Nadler wrote on Twitter: “Just joined the #walkout of the House chamber to protest the shameful, politically-motivated GOP vote holding AG [Eric] Holder in contempt.”
_______________

5-9-19, Victor Davis Hanson -- Democrats have grown infuriated by Attorney General William Barr's indifference to their hysteria over the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

Barr recently released a brief summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's conclusions that Donald Trump did not collude with the Russians to warp the 2016 election. Barr added that Mueller had not found enough evidence to recommend that Trump be indicted for obstruction of justice for the non-crime of collusion.

Progressives, who for 22 months had insisted that Trump was a Russian asset, were stunned; but only for a few hours.

Almost immediately, they redirected their fury toward Barr's summation of the Mueller report. Yet few rational people contested Barr's synopses about collusion and obstruction.

Again, there have been few criticisms that Barr was wrong on his interpretation... but now Democrats are calling for Barr to resign or be impeached for not regurgitating the unproven allegations against Trump. In other words, Barr acted too much like a federal prosecutor rather than a tabloid reporter trafficking in allegations that did not amount to criminal conduct. The besmirching of Barr's conduct is surreal.

AG William Barr certainly has not done anything even remotely approximating the conduct of former President Obama's two attorneys general:

1. Has Barr dubbed himself the president's "wingman" or called America a "nation of cowards," as did former Attorney General Eric Holder?
2. Has Barr's Dept of Justice monitored reporters' communications or ordered surveillance of a television journalist?
3. Has Barr used a government jet to take his family to the Belmont Stakes horse race, as did Holder?
4. Has Barr met secretly on an airport tarmac with the spouse of a person his Justice Depat was investigating, as did former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who had such a meeting with Bill Clinton?

The Mueller report ignored the likely illegal origins of the Christopher Steele dossier, the insertion of an FBI informant into the Trump campaign, the unlawful leaking of documents, and the conflicted testimonies of former high-level intelligence officials.

All of those things were potential felonies. All in some way yielded information that Mueller drew on in his investigation. Yet Mueller never recommended a single indictment of any of the Obama-era officials who likely broke laws.

Mueller was instead fixated on possible collusion with Russia. But it is a crime to knowingly hire a foreign national to work on a presidential campaign -- in other words, to "collude." That is exactly what the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee did when they paid British subject Christopher Steele to smear Trump.

Did Mueller argue that the possible crimes of John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe and other former government officials -- lying to federal investigators, perjury, obstruction of justice, deceiving the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, planting an informant into a political campaign, unmasking and leaking the identities of individuals under surveillance -- were only peripheral to his investigation?

Not really.

After all, Mueller indicted Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone and others for crimes that had nothing to do with collusion and were far less serious than the improper behavior of top Obama administration bureaucrats.

1. progressives are terrified that a number of Trump's critics -- Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe -- may soon be indicted. They apparently seek to preempt such indictments by attacking Barr, a seemingly no-nonsense prosecutor who will likely follow up on any criminal referrals from any inspector general that reach his desk.
2. the 2020 progressive agenda -- whether defined as the Green New Deal, a wealth tax, Medicare for All or open borders -- will not compete well with Trump's currently booming economy. Impeaching Trump for collusion and obstruction is seen by progressives as the best (or perhaps only) way to return to power. That effort so far is failing, causing even more hysteria.
3. the Mueller investigation is over, finished after 22 months, $34 million and a 448-page, two-volume report.

There will be no indictments of Trump for either collusion or the obstruction of justice during the investigation of that non-crime. So now what?

Since late 2015, Trump, as the supposed Russian puppet or the Machiavellian obstructer of justice, was nightly cable-TV news fare. Now, such fantasies are shattered. But progressives are not willing to let the Mueller investigation rest in peace and move on with their lives.

Perhaps they feel in the political sense that there is nothing to move on to. And they are probably right. More here

Matthew 16:18

5-8-19, A BRIEF PERSPECTIVE:  The First Century Church with the apostles was vibrant, exhibiting profound life changing teaching, and magnificent signs and wonders.  Hearts were noticeably touched for and by God, and lives noticeably redirected to reflect the ministry of Yeshua (Jesus).  People of all ages and backgrounds numb to this life came vibrantly alive encountering the Lord, and then they went about sharing the Good News of the Gospel changing still others!  The newly converted Christian did not wait to be schooled or licensed to some position in the church, they simply and encouragingly went; they became called-out disciples of Jesus, and they shared the teachings of Jesus openly, candidly, and without props.
 
The First Century Church worked!  The members loved one another, openly took care of one another, and actually transformed communities and cities.  This First Century Body of Believers in Christ did not sit around and debate God’s goodness or works.  The members openly demonstrated such; they healed the sick, they raised the dead, and they cast out demons.  As lives were healed, they were sent out to do the same to still others.  One day alone, Pentecost, the church grew by over 3,000 members (Acts 2:41).
 
The myriad examples of the Living God working through mortal man was so incredible, the pagan religions of that day could not compete.  The philosophers and learned ones could not teach against its’ success, especially the changes in man’s hearts and actions, and the Roman government could not help but feel threatened.  The persecution launched by Roman authorities against the growing body of Believers in Christ caused an even deeper commitment to the ways of the Lord, not the ways of man or government or self.  So…this First Century Church, comprised mostly of Jewish believers in Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah), grew in numbers, as well as heart-felt demonstrative faith and actions.  Adhering to the ways of the Lord as He taught and demonstrated, openly displaying grace not mere public politeness, the First Century Church moved like a mighty wind.  Read Acts 19:1-41 to learn that the Apostle Paul went to the City of Ephesus, and within two years this city of 200,000 were living examples of Jesus Christ’s teachings.  An entire city living for Christ!  Look around today…hard to imagine a large church living for Christ much less an entire city.
 
But God! [1 Corinthians 12:24-27] For it is the Lord Himself, Adonai, who commenced shaking the church and nations into a new level of reality not seen in very many decades.  The Remnant Church is Arising!  As the author of The Messianic Church Arising by Dr. Robert Heidler wrote: “God is doing a miraculous work.  It is the restoration of something that has been lost for fifteen hundred years, and it’s about to turn the ‘religious’ world upside down!”
 
Once upon a time…the church worked.  With rare exception it does not anymore.
 
THE WAR COUNCIL was formed by God’s command to speak into three particular areas the First Century Church spoke to most plainly and candidly. 

• First…government and public officials
• Second…those who practiced ceremonies, rituals, and methods attempting to draw close to God but who remain empty and now tired
• Third…those who left churches and liturgies and sit alone, but who know they are called to the teachings of the Living God thru His only Begotten Son Yeshua (Jesus).

 
EDUCATING THE REMNANT is an exciting process which will afford Holy Spirit to breathe new life in a church that is simply not working as Christ intended.
 
The formation of the church is mentioned in Matthew 16:18.  The Ekklesia was taught and developed by Jesus establishing His legislative body (ambassadors on earth).  This formation was the deliberate extension of His Heavenly Kingdom.  He detailed the structure outlined in Ephesians 4:11-12, or if you choose an organizational chart for this governmental body and its function.
 
Knowing that evil powers and principalities would oppose and try to destroy the Ekklesia, Jesus appointed apostles (special governmental representatives); prophets (those speaking new messages from God); evangelists (those chosen particularly to spread the Good News to unbelievers); pastors and teachers to guide and fully equip His people for works of service in anticipated warfare by building-up and maturing members of His earthly Kingdom.  Jesus made clear; the authorities of the infernal region and evil spirits in high places (second heaven) would not overpower or prevail in their efforts to destroy His legitimate earthly legislative assembly.
 
Unfortunately, nearly three centuries later in an effort of appeasement from persecution, hosted by Roman Emperor Constantine Caesar Flavius (worshiper of the Moon god Nanna), 300 Christian bishops and many church leaders attended the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325.  What came of that meeting was a statement of doctrine called “The Nicene Creed” that all of Christianity would follow and obey.  Although this doctrine affirmed the full deity of Christ, the Emperor installed a structure of worship and gathering that completely changed the original constitution initiated and taught by Christ.
 
Constantine and the orchestration of the Council of Nicaea subtly replaced the five-fold ministry which led to a “religious system” that we have to this day.  This system basically eradicated the knowledge and work of the Ekklesia by Holy Spirit.  This “powerless” system or rules, regulations and focus on mammon (material wealth and tithing) has led to the deterioration in church attendance and original function and demonstration of works (signs, wonders and miracles) and function (maturing the saints to be witnesses) for Christ and His Kingdom.  It further appears the church today has lost its moral compass and compromises with the world as the early leaders did with Emperor Constantine. 
 
Inspired by Holy Spirit, The National War Council is established to reinstitute the original intent and function established by our Lord and King – Jesus Christ [Yeshua].
 
In addition to our regular teaching series, we look forward to your invitation to come and share more completely the call upon the Remnant Church today.  Whether elected official, corporate executive, pastor or church leader, corporate executive or shop keeper, food server or hourly employee, Mom or Dad, the Remnant Church is Arising across America in response to the call of Holy Spirit to bring forward the church Jesus instituted.
 
ONE MORE THING:  The Apostles encouraged, cheered-on if you like, ALL new Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) to be like Him; to mature in intimacy with Him and our Heavenly Father.  Pause and ponder that statement…to mature in intimacy with Him and our Heavenly Father.  WOW!  What or who is holding you back?  The Remnant Church Arising across America is learning this truth anew.  The Apostle Paul stated clearly in Ephesians 2:6, “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms with Christ Jesus.”  Did you grasp this powerful truth?  When you trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, YOU were IDENTIFIED with Jesus in His death and in His resurrection.  Your old self died, and God made you alive; YOU became a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17).  Now get this…Paul tells Believers; God not only raised you up with Jesus, He also seated you with Him in the heavenly realms!  Spiritually, YOU are now seated with Jesus at the right hand of the Father! Zechariah 13:9

Exodus 3:4

4-18-19, Archives Oswald Chambers -- When God speaks, many of us are like people in a fog and we give no answer. Moses’ reply to God revealed that he knew where he was and that he was ready.

Readiness means having a right relationship to God and having the knowledge of where we are. Too often we are busy telling God where we would like to go. Yet the man or woman who is ready for God and His work is the one who receives the prize when the summons comes. Colossians 3:23-24; Galatians 6:9; James 1:12; Revelation 22:12

We wait with the idea that some great opportunity or something sensational will be coming our way, and when it does come we are quick to cry out, “Here I am.” Whenever we sense that Jesus Christ is rising up to take authority over some great task, we are there, but we are not ready for some obscure seemingly insignificant duty.

Readiness for God means that we are prepared to do the smallest thing or the largest thing— it makes no difference.

It means we have no choice in what we want to do, but that whatever God’s plans may be, we are there and ready. Whenever any duty presents itself, we hear God’s voice as our Lord heard His Father’s voice and we are ready for it with the total devotion because of our love for Him.

Jesus Christ expects to do with us just as His Father did with Him. He can put us wherever He wants, in pleasant duties or in menial ones, because our union with Him is the same as His union with the Father. “…that they may be one just as We are one…” (John 17:22).

The burning bush is a symbol of everything that surrounds the person who is ready and on fire with the presence of God Himself. 2 Timothy 4:2; Luke 12:35

​5-8-19, * -- On March 13, 2019 the Equality Act, H.R.5 [EA] [1] was introduced by Democrat David Cicilline of Rhode Island. It's been supported by many on both sides of the 'aisle' in both the US House of Representatives, the Senate as well as many companies and online retailers. It's about homosexual rights - if enacted it would unleash federal persecution of Christians.  As is often the case with the titles of government legislation, the Equality Act  [EA] would do the opposite of its stated goal. [..snip]
 
Alex Newman explains in his recent article appearing in The New American: The EA specifically states that under the bill religious freedom may not be used as a defense.  The legislation would apply to churches, religious schools, hospitals, employers and more.  Christian adoption agencies would be shut down if they refuse to place children with homosexuals. Outside of some tiny and very narrow exemptions Christian churches, Jewish synagogues and Islamic mosques would no longer be able to uphold marriage between men and women, or any moral standards on sexuality. Counselors of faith will be banned from helping people with unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion.  Everyone will have to affirm the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual & Transgender [LGBT] agenda, or face persecution and destruction at the hands of the US federal government. Furthermore, men who claim they "identify" as women will be allowed to participate in women's sports, use women's restrooms, showers and changing area. [It's already the law in many states.]
 
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver called the EA the "most extreme threat to religious freedom, free speech, privacy and to women's rights that has ever been proposed in Congress." The bill is so radical that even some homosexual activists such as Gregory Angelo [3], a communications consultant based in Washington, D.C. and the former President of Log Cabin Republicans opposes it. [The good news is the prognosis for enacting is only 29%.]

*Excerpted and adapted full original report from Nancy Thorner here
[1] EA HR5 Act here 
[2] Alex Newman here 
[3] Gregory Angelo Opposes Act - here - He said: "The bill would compromise American civil rights and religious liberty as we know it. All reasonable Americans, especially gay Americans who support pluralism and tolerance, should oppose it. The bill would cause the demise of small businesses and religious charities."

5-7-19, * -- Recently Claas Relotius, a German reporter for Der Spiegel, wrote a piece about being embedded with a militia patrolling the Arizona border for illegal migrants. Gullible German leftist readers were regaled with tales of the militia, … with novelistic accounts of pro-Trump Americans that confirmed all the stereotypes of Der Spiegel’s readers. However, much of the article was factually wrong and that Relotius had never even bothered talking to the people he claimed to have been writing about. And a woman doing media relations for the militia contacted Der Spiegel and informed the magazine that he had never been there. That was the beginning of the end of the big lie about the recent Middle Eastern wars/events:

1. Syria: The 8 yr civil war story began with a group of boys who were reportedly detained and tortured after one of them spray-painted anti-government graffiti that international media outlets from CNN to Qatar’s Al Jazeera, Time & more broadcasted. As the story goes one boy scrawled “It’s Your Turn, Doctor” and started the cycle of violence that led to the fighting in Daraa & across Syria; the age and name of the boy has changed many times:
   1. in 2013 Daily Mail reported he was Bashir Abazed, 15 yrs old.
   2. In 2013 Germany it was 15 yr old Bashir Abazed and in 2016 he was Abdulrahman al-Krad
   3. in 2016 Canada’s Reuters reported it was 16 yr old boy named Mohammed
   4. in 2017 Globe & Mail reported it was Naief Abazid, 14 yrs old.
   5. in 2018 Al Jazeera reported it was Mouawiya Syasneh, 14 yrs old.
2. Egypt: The Arab Spring originated by the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar, Obama administration and some of its European allies and the overthrow of the targeted governments.
3. Tunisia: A fake story of a street vendor who was slapped by a policewoman and his family blames his bizarre reaction of setting himself on fire, on a sexist reaction to being humiliated by a woman.

 
Reportedly, there are at least six boys who started the Syrian war with that grafitti. Some of them are actually men. They all have different names. Some have different ages. Even the accounts of the ages of their friends who were also there, ranging from 9-year-olds to adults, vary wildly between different stories from major media outlets.
 
In their sensationalist stories about how the Syrian Civil War began, media outlets failed to even acknowledge that other outlets had published claims that fundamentally contradicted their own. Instead, journalists who claimed to have interviewed the boy[s] in cafes, safe houses or ruined cities posing smilingly for photos or hiding their faces were celebrated and even honored.
 
Reporting on a war in another country is tricky, the media insists on the right to fact check conservatives and erase them from social media, but fails at the most elementary levels fact checking when it comes to its own stories. 
 
Claas Relotius was only the latest media journalist to wade into the story of the boy who started the war. He was lying; but it was a lie so commonplace in his industry that it was normative behavior. The 6 boys’ story is undeniable proof that the media cannot be trusted to police its own facts, let alone those of its political opponents. That it is not an industry of facts, but an assembly line of propaganda. And that it’s reporting on major issues, including wars in other countries, is quite often fake news.
 
If you don’t believe that, ask the media how the Syrian Civil War started. Then ask if his name was Mohamed, Naief, Bashir, Mouawiya, or Abdulrahman.
