FELONS KEY TO DEMS' VOTING-MAJORITY STRATEGY

'It's not a coincidence' recent releases focused on Texas

Paul Bremmer

Take a look at all the participants at the Democratic National Convention this year: Democratic politicians, actors, musicians, teachers, lawyers, interest-group representatives, trade unionists and non-profit officials.

Add to that a frequently laudatory media, and it sometimes feels like Democrats have already won over the vast majority of the country in their campaign to install Hillary Clinton in the White House.

“It’s amazing – Democrats are kind of like a boxer who gets into the ring with 10 friends against one opponent,” said Daniel Horowitz, a senior editor at Conservative Review. “They’ve got the media, they’ve got the corporate America, in addition they have academia, and they have the entertainment world. All the NGOs, nonprofits support their left-wing causes.

“And yet still they seem to have failed to garner a permanent majority in this country.”

Part of this, in Horowitz’s view, stems from the unpopularity of the Obama presidency. He believes Democrats are concerned that they won’t have enough votes to push themselves over the top in swing states in future elections.

“That is why they figure if you can’t win with the electorate you have, let’s replace the existing electorate,” Horowitz, author of the new book “Stolen Sovereignty: How to Stop Unelected Judges From Transforming America,” told WND. “That is why they’re releasing a lot of felons.”

Indeed, there seems to be a rush to grant felons who have completed their sentences the right to vote. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat signed such a bill in April, granting 206,000 felonious Virginians the right to vote in one of the most important swing states in the country.

This was a shot that didn’t hit, as the state Supreme Court reversed his decision only a few days ago.

Approximately 206,000 Virginia felons were affected by McAuliffe’s April 22 order. But the court ruled, 4-3, the move unconstitutional. It ordered that the Virginia Department of Elections “cancel the registration of all felons who have been invalidly registered” since McAuliffe issued his order.

McAuliffe is a long-time member of the Clinton inner circle. His background includes service as chairman of Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign, then serving as a fundraiser and national co-chairman of Clinton’s reelection campaign, and later becoming campaign chairman for Hillary Clinton’s first run at the White House. In 2000, McAuliffe also served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, holding that position for five years.

His attempt to stack the deck came two months after the Maryland state legislature pushed through a measure to allow recently released felons still on parole or probation to vote.

In fact, according to the ACLU, only nine states remain in which all convicted felons do not have the right to vote upon completion of their sentence.

In California, where the voting rules are already lax, the state assembly voted in May to allow convicted felons to vote in jail.

Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., even introduced a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that would prohibit states from “disqualifying individuals convicted of criminal offenses, other than individuals convicted of murder, manslaughter or sex crimes, from registering to vote or voting in elections for federal office.”

Democrats have good reason to want felons to vote, as a recent survey found seven in 10 convicted felons register as Democrats.

The Obama administration joined the action by releasing nearly 20,000 criminal illegal aliens back onto U.S. streets in 2015.

In fact, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., recently said the Obama administration was working to release a total of 70,000 felons from federal prison even without the help of a new act of Congress.

“It’s not a coincidence, by the way, that many of the recent felons that have been released by Obama’s Department of Justice, they were in the state of Texas,” Horowitz said. “This is part of the movement to turn Texas [Democrat].”

Horowitz pointed out many of the same figures behind the infamous Gang of Eight immigration bill, such as La Raza, the AFL-CIO and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, also support the current “criminal justice reform” push that would release thousands of felons back onto America’s streets. Criminal justice reform is a political ploy, according to Horowitz. He urges Republicans not to fall for it, believing it is about compassion.

“The end goal always is to create a permanent Democrat majority,” Horowitz warned. “What Republicans have to ask themselves is why would they pay for the rope to hang themselves and give it straight to the Democrats?”

GOP CHALLENGES OBAMA'S SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS IN MILITARY

'Voters must choose wisely'

Bob Unruh

A nonpartisan watchdog says voters will have a clear choice this presidential election on the future of America’s military.

The independent public-policy group Center for Military Readiness, while not endorsing a specific candidate, highlights in a report the GOP’s intent in its platform to reverse some of the damage done to the military by the Obama administration.

Obama has employed social experimentation in the U.S. military, for example, imposing open homosexuality in the ranks and women in front-line combat roles.

CMR said the Democratic Party’s platform focuses on criticizing Republican nominee Donald Trump “for having ‘no strategy for dealing with key threats facing our country, including climate change and ISIS.'”

Read the WND book that inspired the film, “Ride the Thunder: A Vietnam War Story of Honor and Triumph” – autographed at the WND Superstore!

And it continues the social engineering, stating, “Our military is strongest when people of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities are honored for their service to our country.”

The GOP platform, however, contains a “set of solid statements regarding military/social issues” that gives voters “a clear roadmap for reassessing and eventually reversing much of the damage done to our military since 2009,” CMR said.

“Since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, his administration has delivered on campaign promises to impose radical social agendas on our military,” the report said. “The Center for Military Readiness is pleased to report that the 2016 Republican National Convention has resolved to objectively review and repair the damage.”

The report continued: “The first step is to recognize that problems exist and to restore sound priorities. The platform calls for an end to social experimentation and an honest assessment of problems that need to be corrected. Because unwise policies that the Obama administration imposed administratively can be undone in the same way, nine platform planks presented and analyzed below challenge the results of political correctness taken to extremes.”

The advice? “Voters must choose wisely.”

The report includes:

• A statement that the GOP rejects “the use of the military as a platform for social experimentation.” CMR said Obama “has repeatedly used executive power to impose feminist agendas and LGBT law and regulations implementing the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender agenda for the military, regardless of the harmful consequences.”
• The GOP would call for “an objective review of the impact on readiness.” CMR said a GOP administration would evaluate what Obama has imposed, including involuntary service by women in combat arms and more, and would “put military readiness first.”
• The GOP calls for an exemption for women from “direct ground combat units and infantry battalions.” CMR noted the success of “tip of the spear” units is made or broken sometimes by the individual physical capabilities of members. “In field tests, gender-mixed units underperformed 69 percent of the time. Physical differences that cannot be ‘mitigated’ would have a serious negative effect on what the Marines called ‘survivability and lethality,'” CMR said.
• The GOP warned “against modification or lessening of standards” to satisfy a social agenda. But under the Obama administration, quotas, or “gender diversity metrics,” have been established as “paramount goals,” which have the effect of “lowering standards” for performance requirements, CMR said.
• The GOP platform calls for an all-volunteer force. A draft, especially one “on a gender-neutral basis,” would weaken the military, CMR said.
• The GOP opposes having women register for a draft. “Calling up thousands of potential female draftees, most of whom will not meet combat standards, would slow mobilization during a time of catastrophic national emergency, the worst possible time. Congress should review capabilities of the Selective Service system, applying standards of military readiness, not ‘gender equality,'” CMR said.
• The GOP supports the “rights of conscience of military chaplains of all faiths to practice their faith free from political interference.” That’s simply a First Amendment right, CMR said. “Servicemen and women have a constitutional right to receive counsel from chaplains who are free to discuss matters of morality during all activities, not limited to worship services. Since 2011, there have been numerous attempts to censure and silence chaplains and people of faith, creating a ‘chilling effect’ and fear of career penalties for exercising rights of religious liberty. In some of these cases, military personnel have had to seek legal defense.”
• The GOP condemns “special interest demonstrations” which means the LGBT pride events sponsored by the military, CMR said. “In the same way that our military does not allow labor unions, activist events promoting LGBT law and other special interest causes are inherently divisive and harmful to unit cohesion.”
• The GOP emphasizes due process in cases that arise from the “constantly increasing rates of sexual assault and retaliation.” “The best way to protect due process is to support and improve legal representation for both the accuser and the accused,” the CMR said.

The report also calls for military superiority.

“The 14-page section of the 2016 Republican Platform, titled ‘America Resurgent,’ includes many sound ideas to restore the strength of America’s military, and to restore respect for America worldwide. It begins by quoting Alexander Hamilton, who wrote in Federalist 23 that the first of the ‘principle’ constitutional obligations of the federal government is to provide for the ‘common defense’ of the United States. It also notes that President George Washington wisely reminded us that “’to be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace,'” CMR said.

My comments: Unless Obama's 'Social Policies' for the US Military are Reversed, the US Military will be Unable to carry out its Mission to Defend America. Only God can Protect America and He will Not Protect a nation in Overt Rebellion against Him and His Word.

SECRET SERVICE AGENT WARNS OF 'DICTATOR' HILLARY

'There are rules for the Clintons, and there are rules for everybody else'

Art Moore

CLEVELAND – Gary Byrne worked in the White House during the Clinton administration, but he wasn’t among the speakers invited to give testimony at the Democratic National Convention last week of Hillary Clinton’s character and deeds.

Had he been given the opportunity, his summary of Clinton would have been: “She’s a dictator.”

“There are two sets of rules. There are rules for the Clintons, and there are rules for everybody else,” he said.

Gary Byrne

Byrne, who protected the Clintons for eight years as a uniformed Secret Service officer, spoke to WND at the Republican National Convention about his bestselling book, “Crisis of Character.”

He responded to the fierce criticism he has received from Clinton supporters and the president of the Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service, who denounced the book, saying there is “no place for any self-moralizing narratives, particularly those with an underlying motive.”

Byrne, who was posted outside the Oval Office door for three years, told WND he is taking legal steps to stop what he regards as slander. He does understand why some former and current agents complain he is “talking out of school,” but he said his motive is love of country.

“The reason I am talking out of school,” he told WND, “is because I want the people to know what the truth is about Mrs. Clinton.”

Byrne claims Hillary Clinton displayed a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality, and was verbally and physically abusive to security officers as well as to Bill Clinton, even giving the president a black eye.

“Her ‘brand’ was her only concern. She was a faux leader, all bark, no bite, but in a very real power position as first lady,” he writes in his book.

He noted an exchange that he said typified her:

“Good morning, first lady,” an officer said.

“Go f— yourself,” she replied.

‘What I saw personally’

Politico reported it spoke with several high-level members of Secret Service presidential details who insisted Byrne was too low-ranking to have witnessed what he claims.

Byrne, noting his proximity to the Oval Office, argued that Secret Service agents have shared similar stories of the Clintons with reporters on background, “but I’m putting my name on it.”

“I’m telling you what I saw personally, what I know is true,” he said.

“If it wasn’t true, who would put themselves at this risk and this exposure?”

He said there’s a considerable amount of relevant information he didn’t put in the book, “because it would expose too much of the Secret Service’s operations and inadvertently would hammer people that have gone on with their lives, and I’m not going to do it.”

He said, however, that he’s put some of that information “in the hands of the right people.”

They don’t let just anybody do it

To the “people who are coming out and disparaging me,” he said, it’s important to understand that he got into the Secret Service by taking a lie-detector test.

“The Clintons got where they are by jumping from one scandal and telling lies to the next scandal and telling lies,” he said.

“I was an Air Force security policeman where I was charged with securing nuclear weapons. The Air Force doesn’t let just anybody around nuclear weapons,” Byrne continued.

“The Secret Service doesn’t let just anybody join the uniformed division,” he said. “And the air marshals don’t let just anybody become an air marshal.”

He recently retired as an air marshal.

“As soon as someone from the Clinton administration is ready to take a lie-detector test about her behavior, I’ll be ready to take one about mine,” he told WND.

Byrne explained that he purposely wrote the book without telling anybody.

“I am not asking anybody to come forward. This is my decision. I wanted to get my message out,” he said. “I want to get the truth out. I’m not saying nobody else should do it, but I’m not asking them to step up for me. It’s not fair.

“I think the risk is too great.”

Author Ronald Kessler, who has written his own book on Hillary Clinton’s time in the White House, has defended Byrne, telling the Boston Herald the former Secret Service agent’s description of the Clintons is “right on.”

“It has to do with her character, the hypocrisy of someone who claims to help the country and yet she can’t bring herself to treat other human beings who are less powerful than she is with respect and dignity,” he said. “Someone like that can really get out of control once they get in the White House. They have all that power and they become even more arrogant.”

Kessler said Hillary Clinton “would actually, even recently, tell agents she didn’t want to see them when they were at events.”

“She literally wanted them to hide behind curtains,” Kessler told the paper.

Bizarre world

Byrne noted he was the first Secret Service officer ever compelled to testify in a criminal case against a president.

In the Monica Lewinsky case, he was subpoenaed six times by independent counsel Ken Starr and eventually ordered to testify by Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

“So, if I didn’t have this kind of information, if I didn’t have this access, and I had never seen it, why was I subpoenaed?” he asked.

He noted that Clinton supporters went right to the testimony when the book came out and tried to compare it.

“They tried to say that I was saying stuff that I didn’t say in testimony,” Byrne told WND.

“Well, of course I did. I was answering questions to things the investigators were asking. It wasn’t my job to tell them how to do their job.

“They asked me questions about tissues, I answered about tissues.

He explained there were “so many things that happened that I had information about.”

“If they didn’t ask about those things exactly, then I couldn’t talk about it,” he said.

He said the investigation had many rules that “seemed to change by the day,” and he noted that because he was a government employee, he had no attorney-client privilege.

“So, the guys who were supposedly helping us were in the steak house at night with the guys who were investigating the president and who were investing,” he said.

“It was so bizarre.”

That’s another reason he wrote the book, he said.

“I want the American people to know how bizarre it was to have to protect the Clintons,” Byrne told WND.

“Do you really want to put the country through that again?”

The last barrier

As previously reported, Byrne disclosed in his book that while Bill Clinton was engaged in a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, the president had other mistresses.

“I stood guard, a pistol at my hip, outside the Oval Office, the last barrier before anyone saw Bill Clinton,” Byrne writes in his book. “The last barrier before Monica Lewinsky saw Bill Clinton. Yes, I’m that Secret Service officer.”

He tells how he tried unsuccessfully to stop the affair with Lewinsky, getting her transferred to work for Hillary Clinton in the East Wing of the White House.

Byrne claims Bill Clinton personally ordered agents with the Secret Service to give Lewinsky access to his office in early 1996, even providing her a secret phone number to reach the commander in chief directly.

“We wondered how he got any work done and joked that he would have been better at running a brothel in a red-light district than the White House,” Byrne writes.

Ultimately, Byrne noted to WND, the issue legally was perjury and suborning perjury, compelling a witness to lie, as Bill Clinton convinced Monica Lewinsky to sign affidavits declaring they never were alone together.

“Everyone in the Secret Service, when the story broke, knew they were lying,” Byrne told WND.

“Here’s the thing. He took an oath, too. Bill Clinton took an oath of the presidency. I took an oath as a Secret Service officer to protect the office of the presidency and the Constitution,” he said.

“He took that oath, and he lied.”

Byrne said Clinton “did what the Clinton machine always does.”

“It lies, it blames other people, and then it tries to suppress the truth by getting other people to lie.”

He related one of his fears if Bill Clinton returns to the White House.

“Who’s going to protect these young women who work there from Bill Clinton?” he asked.

“Do we really want to drag the country from one scandal to the next?”

Telling the story

Byrne said he’s receiving positive feedback from former colleagues.

He heard from the wife of a former co-worker who died about five years ago in a car accident.

“His wife was so sweet, and she was so excited. She said, he really wanted to pursue a book and talk about these things,” Byrne said. “He was so appalled by the things he saw. And, of course, he never got the chance.”

Byrne said he does have some concerns about his safety but doesn’t fear for his life.

“I have taken some steps,” he said. “I’ve protected other people my entire life. I know how to protect myself.”

Until the election, Nov. 8, he said he will continue to tell his story.

“Once the election is over, it is what it is, and I’ll go on being the dedicated American that I’ve always been.”

EVIL RULES THE WORLD

Christ Jesus said this concerning the Prince of this World, Satan:

'You heard Me say, I AM going away and I AM coming back to you.'

If you Loved Me, you would be glad that I AM going to the Father,

For the Father is Greater than I.

I have told you now before it happens,

So that when it does happen you will believe.

I will not speak with you much longer,

FOR THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD IS COMING.

HE HAS NO HOLD ON ME,

But the World must learn that I Love the Father

And I do Exactly what My Father has Commanded Me.

(John 14:28-31, NIV)

The same verse from the Amplified:

You heard Me tell you, I AM going away, and I AM coming [back] to you.

If you [really] Loved Me, you would be glad

Because I AM going to the Father;

For the Father is Greater and Mightier than I AM.

And now I have told you [this] before it occurs,

So that when it does take place you may believe

And have Faith in and Rely on Me.

I will not talk with you much more,

FOR THE PRINCE (evil genius, ruler) of the World is coming.

AND HE HAS NO CLAIM ON ME--

He has Nothing in Common with Me,

There is Nothing in Me that belongs to him,

He has No Power over Me.

But [Satan is coming and] I do as the Father has Commanded Me,

So that the World may know (be convinced)

That I Love the Father,

And that I do only what the Father has instructed Me to do--

I Act in Full Agreement with His Orders.

(John 14:28-31, AMP)

From these verses we lean many important things.

We learn that the Satan is the Prince, the Evil Genius, Ruler of this World,

And that he is coming to have Christ Jesus Crucified.

We learn that Satan has Noting in Common with Christ Jesus;

There is Nothing in Christ to give Satan Power over Him;

Satan has No Hold on Him.

The Crucifixion of Christ Jesus was by Permission of God the Father.

The willingness of Christ Jesus to Die for the Sins of the World,

Should be Sufficient to convince anyone that He Loves the Father

And does Exactly what the Father Commanded Him.

Satan does have Power Over this World;

He Owns the World, as it has been given to him,

And he can give it to anyone he pleases. (Luke 4:6)

The Sin Nature in every person gives him that Power.

However, when a person turns to Christ Jesus and Surrenders to Him,

According to Scripture,

And Christ Jesus takes up Residence in that person,

Satan cannot Touch them. Listen:

We know [absolutely] that any one Born of God

Does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice Committing Sin,

But the One Who was begotten of God

Carefully watches over and Protects him--

Christ's Divine Presence WITHIN him Preserves him against the Evil--

And the Wicked One does not lay hold (get a grip) on him or Touch [him].

We know [positively] that we are Of God,

AND THAT THE WHOLE WORLD [around us]

IS UNDER THE POWER OF THE EVIL ONE.

And we [have seen and] know [positively]

That the Son of God has [actually] come to this World

And has given us Understanding and Insight Progressively

To Perceive (recognize) and come to know better and more clearly

Him Who is True;

AND WE ARE IN HIM WHO IS TRUE,

In His Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

THIS IS THE TRUE GOD AND LIFE ETERNAL.

(1 John 5:18-20, AMP)

Why is America and the World in the Mess they are in?

It is because they are Under the Power of the Evil One

Who came to Steal, Kill and Destroy;

He was a Murderer from the beginning, not holding to the TRUTH,

For there is No Truth in him.

When he Lies, he speaks his Native Language,

For he is a Liar and the Father of Lies.

(John 8:44)

Why, today, do we witness Stealing, Killing and Destroying;

Murdering and Lying?

Because Satan Rules those who do such things;

He Rules ALL who do not belong to Christ Jesus.

The Only Hope for any person or any Nation is REPENTANCE

And Surrendering to the Rule of Christ by His Spirit.
