After a very emotional hearing in Congress from families who had loved ones murdered by illegal aliens it boggles my mind how Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Sarah Saldaña can be so cold and callous about it by saying they won’t do anything until Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform, which is basically code for amnesty. Sanctuary cities.
A quote: Sen. David Vitter: “This has been going on for years and you still are not prepared to say that there is ever going to be any negative consequence to those [sanctuary] jurisdictions. When is that going to change?”
Saldaña: “I presume when you all address comprehensive immigration reform; perhaps it can be addressed there.”
Which leads to Verse 46 of the Obama Impeachment song (as if sung by Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)
“It is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of [its president in 1997]. (It is) the only one with elections, including the United States, including Israel, including you name it, where the liberals, or the progressives, have won two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote in the six elections…In every single election, the guys I identify with got two-thirds to 70 percent of the vote. There is no other country in the world that I can say that about, certainly not my own.” Davos, Switzerland, Feb.2005.
The person that said it is William Jefferson Clinton, former President of the United States of America, and the country he is referring to is the Islamic Republic of Iran. He said it in an interview with PBS Charlie Rose.
His wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton has a similar admiration for Iran, and is wholly in with the “Nuclear arms agreement”. She is a shoe-in for the Democrat Party Presidential nomination.
Is this really what U.S wants?
Islamic Republic of Nation Iran
Bill Clinton admires as much as he can.
They are so progressive
What we call oppressive
Is freedom to nuke our friends; that’s their plan.
And this, my dear friends is why the Cross, Jesus Christ, His death, burial and resurrection is an offense to the non-believer.
They refuse to acknowledge sin, and cannot grasp the Christian concept of forgiveness: Because He forgave us, we too must forgive, and in so doing become more like Christ.
It was in Antioch, Syria they were first called Christians. It was meant as a derogatory term, but the believers were it proudly, and it took. It survived through the early persecutions through love and forgiveness. Many were martyred for their beliefs, but through their testimonies the Church grew stronger.
The times of persecutions have returned. There are now more people martyred yearly then at any time in history. We are seeing it in so many ways. Yet, true Christians forgive. We have been given many examples of true Christian forgiveness. Let me mention just two:

On October 2, 2006, a shooting occurred at the West Nickel Mines School, an Amish one-room schoolhouse in the Old Order Amish community of Nickel Mines, a village in Bart Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Gunman Charles Carl Roberts IV took hostages and shot ten girls (aged 6–13), killing five, and wounded the rest, some very severely, before committing suicide in the schoolhouse. It received worldwide attention, and press and TV reporters descended on the small community. The Amish responded like they always do, mostly silence. The wife of the murderer was invited and went to the funeral of at least one of the girls. The Amish message was consistent, forgive and choose to not remember the offense. To that effect the one room schoolhouse was torn down, the privys and the fence removed and the ground plowed. A week later there was no indication there ever was a schoolhouse there. Another schoolhouse was built nearby. This act of forgiveness was broadcast over the whole world. It even reached the Kurds of Iraq. A pastor, a couple of Amish believers and a Christian psycho therapist were invited to Iraq to speak with the Governor and some doctors about this concept of forgiveness. They were then invited to teach about the healing effect of forgiveness to a multitude of health care professionals. Their message was given, and accepted by the Kurds. Only in Christ can we find forgiveness and be able to forgive. The Kurdish doctors accepted their message with awe, this forgiveness is unknown in Islam.
At the bond hearing June 17, 2015 of Dylann Roof, the murderer of 9 in Emanuel AME Church in Charleston S.C. something very unusual occurred. One after another of the family members of the victims stood up and proclaimed their deep sorrow for what had happened, but they forgave him in Christ, prayed for his soul and asked him to repent and turn to Christ. This was Christian living in action.
No such forgiveness exists among the secular people, nor can it be found in any other religion, especially not in Islam. They still have not got over the loss of Spain. Yet the Christian message of forgiveness has survived nearly two thousand years, from Christ’s words on the Cross “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do” to Stephens exclamation “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” when he was stoned to death as the first Martyr. This message will be victorious even in the coming battle.
Islam means submission. It originally meant submission to the will of God, but has morphed into submission to Sharia law as interpreted by the local governments, the Mullahs, the Imams and above all the Caliph.
The Koran does not forbid drawing pictures of Muhammad. In 1935 a fresco relief of Moses, Muhammad, Confucius, Hammurabi and others was put up in the U.S Supreme Court building, and nobody objected.. The idea that all images must be destroyed came from the Taliban and they destroyed among other things the Buddhas of Bamiyan in March 2001 by the Taliban, on orders from leader MullahMohammed Omar, after the Taliban government declared that they were idols.
Freedom of religion and speech must be defended at all cost, and Bosch Fawstin has asked his prize winning cartoon to be widely distributed, since the official media is not doing it and his Facebook page is taken down.
“In a June 2014 New York Times Sunday Book Review, the newspaper asked Hillary Clinton a series of literature-based questions. One of the inquiries sought to determine the one book that made her who she is today.
“‘At the risk of appearing predictable,” she responded, ‘the Bible was and remains the biggest influence on my thinking.”
Clinton noted that she was “raised reading it” and had memorized many of its passages. She contended that the Bible has guided her throughout her life.
“‘I still find it a source of wisdom, comfort and encouragement,’ she concluded.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a feminist tone on Apr 23.She told attendees at the sixth annual Women in The World Summit:
“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” …
“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in far away countries but right here in the United States.”
Verse 39 of the Obama Impeachment song. (As if sung by Obama to the tune of “Please release me. let me go”).
All my “facts” are lies and spin
the Mullahs said with gleeful grin.
In this pact Islamists win,
my treasonous acts will do me in.
Here are a few samples of responses from Iran:
“The solutions are good for all, as they stand. There is no need to spin using ‘fact sheets’ so early on,” tweeted Iran’s foreign minister, Javad Zarif. “In the framework of the agreement, none of Iran’s nuclear facilities as well as the previous activities will be stopped, shut down or suspended and Iran’s nuclear activities in all its nuclear facilities including Natanz, Fordow, Isfahan and Arak will continue,” said an Iranianstate-run Press TV report.
Iranian media also reported that all of the UN Security Council, United States, and European Union sanctions against the regime will be lifted immediately, once the Joint Plan of Action has been implemented.
Former Rep. Frank Wolf, the leading voice for religious freedom in Congress for decades, says Christianity is on the verge of extinction in Iraq and the remaining steadfast believers do not see much effort from the U.S. or other Western nations to improve their plight.
He co-led a trip to Iraq in January to observe conditions for Christians and other minorities and to speak to people firsthand. The group recently released a report based on that trip titled, “Edge of Extinction: The Eradication of Religious and Ethnic Minorities in Iraq.” He said the conclusions of the visit were obvious.
“Two things. They’re really suffering and they’re really facing extinction,” said Wolf, who added that the people there are mystified at the relative silence in the midst of their suffering, since the Islamic State has very real plans to bring its savagery to the West as well.
“The threat ISIS poses is not only to them but to people in the West and, quite frankly, people in the United States,” Wolf said. “It’s kind of a conglomeration. They kept saying, ‘Why will no one in the West speak out for us? Does anyone care?’
