NO TRESPASSING ON ISLAM!

As some are speculating, I will also guess that Officer Mohamed Noor, after hearing what might have sounded like a shot, may have believed Justine Damon had a gun in her hand as she leaned toward the squad car in her pajamas. If that was the case, his allegedly firing the shots that killed the unarmed Australian woman was simply the worst of judgments in the presence of panic. In saying all that, I'm straining - times 10 - to give him some benefit of the doubt though obviously none is deserved.

Fake News Works

In the 21st century, satan has found a home. Jesus called the devil a liar and the Father of Lies. He said that when he lies he is speaking his own language - because the truth is not to be found in him. And as I have said - just as the bank robbers often wear the uniforms of bank guards or police, so the very real adversary of our souls laces everything he does with at least the appearance of truth.

A MESSAGE THAT MUST NOT STOP!

This is certainly not a new topic for me. This is more of a no-brainer, LIFE-AND-DEATH URGENT MESSAGE that must be heralded around the world at light speed. At one time this all would have been filed under 'DANGEROUS', and subsequently avoided out of common sense. Today, however, we have professional politicians who, in the guise of humanitarian magnanimity, feature themselves as champions of the 'poor Muslims' who are allegedly despised and persecuted by a bunch of hatemongering conservatives. Through oligarchs such as Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Waters and many others, the truth has been twisted beyond recognition. The following includes a few examples of that willful distortion ...

America Will Soon Capsize ...

It's another trophy week for the planet Earth. Here in the United States a 56-year-old has-been comedienne joined a burgeoning crowd of other has-been celebrities in garnering press on the beat-to-death "I hate Trump" train. It seemed that when she discovered her beheading stunt backfired into her wallet, she got real sorry - for a moment. The tears fell like rain. Then she obviously hooked up with a lawyer who encouraged her to push even harder instead of apologizing.

Why Donald Trump Scares The "L" Out Of Liberal Media ...

It was Bob Dylan who put together the phrase, "... Money doesn't talk, it SWEARS." And that is about the first level up from the bottom-line reason behind most of the problems we have in the world today. At least, the reason for bulldozer-powerful LIES mowing down what is left of today's rapidly disintegrating civilization.

Compared To The Threat of A Hillary Clinton, The Russians Look Like #!

A man banging on your door tells you your house is on fire. Right after that, a neighbor runs up - he's an enemy who's always wanted the land your house sits on - and tells you the one who warned you is a pathological liar and just wanted to disturb your peaceful Sunday. You go back to the tv, and your wife asks, "What was that all about?" You reply, "Oh, some nut was trying to tell me that our house was on fire."

Regardless Of Color, Americans All!

In my last article, "ISLAMOPHOBIA: EMBRACE IT AND PASS IT ON!", I featured a video of a Frenchman expressing righteous indignation at the politically slimy, saccharine behavior of French politicians toward the invading Muslims in his home nation. If you haven't seen it, you should click on the link, read that story and watch the impassioned plea and warning of that real life French patriot.

ISLAMOPHOBIA: EMBRACE IT AND PASS IT ON!

Some fears are good. Today we live in a world of tv-zombified simpletons who don't recognize the wisdom that grew from the analogy of a youngster touching a hot stove. The punch line that flowered from that tiny proverb, of course, is that the child learned the hard lesson of not touching whatever experience warned him not to touch. Simple enough.

The Real Reason Real Christians Are Real Happy About Easter!

For years Easter has been set aside as one of two or three days out of the year in which noticeably more people will actually attend a church service. In the 21st century it has been mostly just an opportunity for some little girls to wear a special Easter outfit. And at home after church sometimes there is an egg hunt or a basket of candy. But Easter's real message for the believing Christian has absolutely nothing to do with Easter bunnies, colored eggs or baskets of candy.

Stand Up America, And Walk Together!

The 'progressive' left has worked overtime in the de-Americanizing of America. And for good reason! If our primary language of English eventually really does become replaced with 'press whatever number for' Spanish or Eubonics or French or English, etc. - and Thanksgiving, Christmas or the Fourth of July become just another day off from work, taking a back seat to Ramadan, then the rich culture of America is dead.

America's PRESIDENT Smashes The Syrian Syringe!

The memory so often returns of the day I heard Sen. Hillary Clinton on a live NPR broadcast selling all of her cohorts on the necessity of our invading Iraq. She was so intense in her pitch I thought she was going to break into tears.

A Battle Of Misinformation That Only TRUTH Can Win

Just the other day an adult male (I'd rather not call him a 'man') went into a Muncie, Indiana Goodwill store and began preaching Islam. In the course of his sharing the glad tidings of the religion of peace, he snatched an elderly woman by her throat and began choking her while screeching, "Allahu Akbar!" The weirdo was identified as Khaliad Bilal. Sounds like a Hispanic or maybe Irish name, to me - though I want to avoid profiling. I can't be certain, of course.

Let Me Tell You Which Side I'm On

The contrast of the two different standards the press and the public have applied to Obama versus what we are seeing now toward Donald Trump is breathtaking-unto-dizzying. And to me the most nauseatingly frustrating dynamic about the whole deal is that, effectively, Trump and his crew, now that they're in the White House - are on their own.

Obama: Shown For What He Is

This is nothing like any of the commentary you are used to seeing from me. But, now that Obama is gone (though he is never gone), I can take a moment to relate a little side story that you may also find interesting.

The Enemies Of Donald Trump Are The Enemies Of America

After eight years of suffocating under the racist stagnation of B.O. and the House gavel even in the grip of a witch like Nancy Pelosi, President Trump's address to Congress last night was a breath of fresh air.

America's 2016 Declaration Of Independence

The left's HATRED of Donald Trump has gone beyond 'art form' and has progressed into a sick competition to win approval from fellow Trump haters and the liberal news-media/entertainment industry that have invented the new sport of Trump HATE. It's quite obvious that the object of that HATE is to chastise the Donald and anyone who dared to act like a FREE AMERICAN.

An Open Letter To America And Her New President

Years ago in a Wal-Mart, I was walking past the toy department. A screaming four year-old was demanding that his mom buy him the little car set he had opened and scattered all over the floor. After the young mother had several times declined and asked him to come along with her, the boy threw one of the toys at her, leaving a cut on her forehead.

Are We Disillusioned Yet?

Historically it can be shown that when conservative America loses an election they douse the light, wake up the next morning, roll up their sleeves and return to work hoping for something better next time. And now we have seen that when 21st-century liberal America, the very deliberately engineered 'legacy' of the Obamas, loses an election, they throw a bloody tantrum which is fully intended to overpower both the rule and spirit of our laws.

A Sigh Of Relief Heard Round The World!!!

It's 3 AM my time, election night, and my feet have not touched the ground for the past couple of hours. The last active brain cells in my head are rattling around like a couple of BBs in a coffee can. The suspense of yesterday's election was chilling, to say the least, and I am shot.
