STUDENTS DESPISE OBAMA POLICIES ... WHEN CREDITED TO TRUMP

Democrat president's accomplishments considered reminiscent of Nazi Germany

Published: 15 hours ago

(Campus Reform) Saturday will mark Donald Trump’s 100th day in office, an important milestone for U.S. presidents ever since the flurry of panicked flailings with which Franklin Roosevelt began his administration.

While supporters of President Trump point to his slew of executive orders and the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch as markers of his success, detractors claim Mr. Trump has accomplished very little since taking office.

Throughout the year, Campus Reform has shown how liberal professors and students across America have been quick to oppose the President’s actions—often without understanding important details about them.

Hoping to tease out whether such reflexive opposition to Trump is based on policy disagreements or simply distaste for Trump himself, Campus Reform headed to George Mason University to ask students their opinions about the first 100 days.

COULTER WOWS GOP FAITHFUL IN CALIFORNIA – COPS LEFT SMILING

Chants of 'Trump! Trump! Trump!' 'USA! USA! USA!' 'Nazi scum go home!'

(Modesto Bee) Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter’s Friday evening speech at Modesto Centre Plaza drew hundreds of GOP faithful as well as dozens of demonstrators who lined the sidewalk and lawn outside the downtown convention center to show their support and disgust for Coulter.

The demonstrators appeared evenly split into two camps. The protest — which appeared to reach about 100 people at its peak — also brought out the news media, with TV stations from Sacramento, San Francisco and Fox News sending crews.

There also were lots of Modesto officers in the crowd and nearby on horseback, motorcycles and bicycles. Police Chief Galen Carroll said his department expected a peaceful protest but were prepared for the worst. Expectations were met.

DID POPE FRANCIS JUST MAKE ANOTHER MOVE FOR ONE WORLD RELIGION?

Did Pope Francis Just Make Another Move for One World Religion?

12:00PM EDT 4/28/2017 LIN NOUEIHED AND CRISPIAN BALMER/REUTERS - charisma news

Pope Francis arrived in Cairo on Friday hoping to mend ties with Muslim leaders, just as Egypt's ancient Christian community faces unprecedented pressure from Islamic State militants who have threatened to wipe it out.

In an address to the Egyptian people this week, Francis said he hoped his visit would help bring peace and encourage dialog and reconciliation with the Islamic world.

But it comes at a painful time for Egypt's Copts, the Middle East's largest Christian community, three weeks after Islamic State suicide bombers killed 45 people in twin church bombings.

Those attacks followed a cathedral bombing that killed 28 people in December and a spree of murders that has forced hundreds of Christians to flee North Sinai, where the group is most active.

"Pope of Peace in Egypt of Peace," read posters plastered along the road leading from the airport to central Cairo, showing a smiling pope, his hand raised above the Christian cross and the Crescent moon of Islam.

Military Humvees patrolled the streets and soldiers guarded routes the pope will take. As on other foreign visits, Pope Francis will shun armored limousines during his 27-hour stay and use a normal car, saying this lets him be nearer the people.

Streets close to the Vatican embassy in Cairo and other sites have been cleared of cars and blocked off, and pedestrians were not allowed to linger.

"After all the pain we have experienced ... we are satisfied and confident that the state is taking strong security measures to prevent terrorism and protect churches," said Father Boulos Halim, spokesman of the Coptic Orthodox church to which the majority of Egypt's Christians belong.

"It's in the state's interests to protect its nationals, and the Copts are not an independent people, they are part and parcel of the nation itself."

Strained Relations

Francis will meet President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi; Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of al-Azhar, the world's most influential seat of Sunni Islamic theology and learning; and PopeTawadros II, head of the Coptic Orthodox Church who narrowly escaped a church bombing in Alexandria on Palm Sunday.

Francis is expected to give his key address to a conference on religious dialog at Al-Azhar, part of efforts to improve relations with the 1,000-year-old center after Egyptian Muslim leaders cut ties in 2011 over what they said were repeated insults against Islam by Pope Benedict.

Tayeb visited the Vatican last year after restoring relations. Widely considered among the most moderate clerics in Egypt, Tayeb has condemned Islamic State and its practice of declaring others as infidels as a pretext for waging jihad.

Francis denounces violence in God's name and papal aides say a moderate like Tayeb would be an important ally in condemning radical Islam.

But Tayeb is under fire over the slow pace of reform at Azhar, which critics in Egypt's parliament and media accuse of failing to combat the religious foundations of Islamist extremism. 

They say Azhar is an ossified institution whose clerics have resisted pressure from Sisi to modernize their religious discourse.

UMC RULES AGAINST APOSTASY, LGBT BISHOPS AS CLERGY

UMC Rules Against Apostasy, LGBT Bishops As Clergy

9:46AM EDT 4/29/2017 JESSILYN JUSTICE - charisma news

The United Methodist Church Judicial Council ruled lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual members could not be consecrated as clergy.

The ruling came after married lesbian Karen Oliveto was consecrated as bishop last year. Despite the ruling, Oliveto can still serve as bishop until it is determined she violated these standards.

"The Judicial Council had a difficult task of ruling on the narrow basis of church law that has been carefully developed over the years to protect the rights of clergy accused of wrongdoing—sometimes well beyond the bounds of reasonable doubt and to the point of sidelining concern for victims," UMAction Director and 2016 General Conference delegate John Lomperis said in a release. 
 
"I celebrate that these landmark rulings should now make it significantly easier to bring accountability for pastors who choose to violate biblical standards for sexual self-control. We are slowly but increasingly strengthening biblical accountability in our church," the statement continued.

According to the release, this binding ruling clarifies several matters in United Methodist church law: Because of church standards only recognizing monogamous, heterosexual marriage and disapproving of sexual relations outside of it (Paragraphs 161B, 161F, 310.2d, and 2702.1b of the UMC's governing Book of Discipline), which UMC clergy must vow to uphold, any "partnered homosexual ... does not meet the minimum standards" for ordination, and a minister found to be "openly homosexual and partnered" cannot be made bishop.

To be disciplined for violating separate provisions prohibiting the ordination of "self-avowed practicing homosexuals" (Paragraphs 304.3 and 2702.1b), it can be enough to prove that a minister is in a same-sex civil marriage.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

THE RISE OF THE GENERALS

Pat Buchanan on foreign policy: 'What happened to the Trump of 2016?'

Has President Donald Trump outsourced foreign policy to the generals?

So it would seem. Candidate Trump held out his hand to Vladimir Putin. He rejected further U.S. intervention in Syria other than to smash ISIS.

He spoke of getting out and staying out of the misbegotten Middle East wars into which Presidents Bush II and Obama had plunged the country.

President Trump’s seeming renunciation of an anti-interventionist foreign policy is the great surprise of the first 100 days, and the most ominous. For any new war could vitiate the Trump mandate and consume his presidency.

Trump no longer calls NATO “obsolete,” but moves U.S. troops toward Russia in the Baltic and eastern Balkans. Rex Tillerson, holder of Russia’s Order of Friendship, now warns that the U.S. will not lift sanctions on Russia until she gets out of Ukraine.

If Tillerson is not bluffing, that would rule out any rapprochement in the Trump presidency. For neither Putin, nor any successor, could surrender Crimea and survive.

What happened to the Trump of 2016?

When did Kiev’s claim to Crimea become more crucial to us than a cooperative relationship with a nuclear-armed Russia? In 1991, Bush I and Secretary of State James Baker thought the very idea of Ukraine’s independence was the product of a “suicidal nationalism.”

Where do we think this demonization of Putin and ostracism of Russia is going to lead?

To get Xi Jinping to help with our Pyongyang problem, Trump has dropped all talk of befriending Taiwan, backed off Tillerson’s warning to Beijing to vacate its fortified reefs in the South China Sea and held out promises of major concessions to Beijing in future trade deals.

“I like (Xi Jinping), and I believe he likes me a lot,” Trump said this week. One recalls FDR admonishing Churchill, “I think I can personally handle Stalin better than … your Foreign Office. … Stalin hates the guts of all your people. He thinks he likes me better.”

FDR did not live to see what a fool Stalin had made of him.

Among the achievements celebrated in Trump’s first 100 days are the 59 cruise missiles launched at the Syrian airfield from which the gas attack on civilians allegedly came and the dropping of the 22,000-pound MOAB bomb in Afghanistan.

But what did these bombings accomplish?

The War Party seems again ascendant. John McCain and Lindsey Graham are happy campers. In Afghanistan, the U.S. commander is calling for thousands more U.S. troops to assist the 8,500 still there, to stabilize an Afghan regime and army that is steadily losing ground to the Taliban.

Like the reporting you see here? Sign up for free news alerts from WND.com, America’s i ndependent news network.

Iran is back on the front burner. While Tillerson concedes that Tehran is in compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, Trump says it is violating “the spirit of the agreement.”

How so? Says Tillerson, Iran is “destabilizing” the region, and threatening U.S. interests in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon.

But Iran is an ally of Syria and was invited in to help the U.N.-recognized government put down an insurrection that contains elements of al-Qaida and ISIS. It is we, the Turks, Saudis and Gulf Arabs who have been backing the rebels seeking to overthrow the regime.

In Yemen, Houthi rebels overthrew and expelled a Saudi satrap. The bombing, blockading and intervention with troops is being done by Saudi and Sunni Arabs, assisted by the U.S. Navy and Air Force.

It is we and the Saudis who are talking of closing the Yemeni port of Hodeida, which could bring on widespread starvation.

It was not Iran, but the U.S. that invaded Iraq, overthrew the Baghdad regime and occupied the country. It was not Iran that overthrew Col. Gadhafi and created the current disaster in Libya.

Monday, the USS Mahan fired a flare to warn off an Iranian patrol boat, 1,000 meters away. Supposedly, this was a provocation. But Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif had a point when he tweeted:

“Breaking: Our Navy operates in – yes, correct – the Persian Gulf, not the Gulf of Mexico. Question is what US Navy doing 7,500 miles from home.”

Who is behind the seeming conversion of Trump to hawk?

The generals, Bibi Netanyahu and the neocons, congressional hawks with Cold War mindsets, the Saudi royal family and the Gulf Arabs – they are winning the battle for the president’s mind.

And their agenda for America?

We are to recognize that our true enemy in the Mideast is not al-Qaida or ISIS, but Shiite Iran and Hezbollah, Assad’s Syria and his patron, Putin. And until Hezbollah is eviscerated, Assad is gone and Iran is smashed the way we did Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen, the flowering of Middle East democracy that we all seek cannot truly begin.

But before President Trump proceeds along the path laid out for him by his generals, brave and patriotic men that they are, he should discover if any of them opposed any of the idiotic wars of the last 15 years, beginning with that greatest of strategic blunders – George Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

THE AMERICAN MURDERERS AKIN TO THE MUSLIM MURDERERS

April 24, 2017

Protect the Children: Update with VIDEO 

By Siena Hoefling

[Updated April 24, 2017 – originally posted April 14]

"That attack on children yesterday had a big impact on me. Big impact. That was a horrible, horrible thing." – President Donald Trump, April 6, 2017
When Syrian President Bashar al-Assad reportedly used chemical weapons against his own people, U.S. President Donald Trump answered with punitive missiles. Assad violated previous agreements, said Trump, and the United States had a security interest "to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons."

But ultimately, Trump said, it was the cruel destruction of children that stirred him to act.

Some legislators complained – justifiably – that the surprise military response lacked congressional approval. One critic, Senator Rand Paul, called the missile launch an "unconstitutional rush to war," devoid of U.S. interest.

Sen. Mike Lee declined to support the attack and said "we should follow the Constitution and seek the proper authorization from Congress."
Others, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, felt the attack was justified and needed no authorization.
In either case, preserving innocent life is understood to be the primary reason for governmental force. Our Declaration of Independence asserts that governments are instituted to protect God-given rights – with first consideration given to the right to life.

While debate continues to surround the critical issue of whether Trump followed the Constitution in his exercise of war powers, the underlying moral principle remains unchallenged. No one disputes the assertion that governments have the responsibility to protect innocent life (presumably in ways that are both constitutional and just).
"When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal that people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines – beyond a red line," Trump told to the press following his action against Syria.
Immediately after the strike, Trump took to the podium to explain that "Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women, and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack. No child of God should ever suffer such horror."

The president appealed to universal conscience: "Tonight I call on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in Syria and also to end terrorism of all kinds and all types."

Then, the president concluded with a prayer and a caveat: "We ask for God's wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world. We pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those who have passed, and we hope that as long as America stands for justice, then peace and harmony will in the end prevail."

Images of dead babies were broadcast to the world. Trump called their murder an "affront to humanity," worthy of severe punishment.

Senator Marco Rubio tweeted: "'Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished' Proverbs 11:21 #SyriaChemicalAttack."
"We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world," Secretary of State Rex Tillerson affirmed.

Yet, in the United States of America, tiny babies are being slaughtered with the complicity of government. Today, more than three thousand children were dismembered to death – torn out of their mother, piece-by-piece – chemically burned inside the womb, poisoned, punctured, or executed by other means. Our bloody deeds have exterminated over 60 million lives in a half century.

All of this has been occurring while American elected officials sit idly by – unmoved to act lawfully to end the bloody, evil deeds of barbarism in their homeland.
"I'm just following orders" is the defense. But that line of reasoning was repudiated in the case against Nazi Germany. The Nuremberg trials rightfully demonstrated that there is a moral requirement incumbent upon all mankind to do justly, and to reject any legal facade that would exterminate innocent human beings.

For elected officials who refuse to carry out their just powers on behalf of helpless victims, there is particular culpability.
Under the logic of the human rights doctrine articulated by the Secretary of State, the president of the United States can and should act tomorrow, in America, to end the terrorism against beautiful babies in the womb, babies who are no less children of God, created in His image and endowed with the right to life, than those walking the earth.
Syrians are also human beings, endowed with the right to life. So by the same moral logic that compelled the president to defend lives in Syria, he should immediately defend the babies being slaughtered in the United States.

That is especially true if the president is constitutionally powerless to pursue justice in a far-off nation without congressional approval. There, the Constitution imposes constraints not relevant here, where the president has considerable power as chief executive to protect life in accordance with the rule of law. That's his job. The president is sworn to faithfully (not partially) execute the laws, which require equal protection for those under his jurisdiction.

In our nation, the law is on the side of the innocent – no matter the myths perpetrated in the media.
"In a landmark ruling today, the Supreme Court legalized abortions," declared Walter Cronkite on the evening news, January 22, 1973. But the newsman was mistaken. The Supreme Court could not make law, nor could it require the president to aid and abet crimes against humanity.

We have three branches of government, each designed to check and balance one another – to prevent alienation of human rights – and the president is sworn to execute his office under the Constitution "to the best of [his] ability," not according to the pleasure of judicial tyrants.

Would Assad be excused for gassing his people to death, if done by the command of his own courts?

Would Nazi criminals be excused at Nuremberg because Hitler's corrupt judicial system enabled their reign of terror, including the Holocaust?

So why would an American president be compelled to enable brutal extermination of children in the womb simply because of a court opinion?
We are without excuse. With the Declaration of Independence's assertion that "all men are created equal, [and] endowed by their Creator" with the right to life, and the Constitution's stated purpose to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," and the Constitution's requirement to provide equal protection, the United States at its core delineates a bright, red, unmistakable line of justice that has now been crossed 60 million times.

As our nation’s chief executive, the president is required to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, Section 3, of the Constitution). 

He therefore has the power to prevent the judicial killing of innocent babies – by refusing to uphold unjust court rulings that he is under no constitutional obligation to uphold or enforce; by using his bully pulpit to enlist Congress and all 50 state legislatures to outlaw abortion, once and for all; by declaring Roe v. Wade null and void as far as the executive branch of the U.S. government is concerned; by declaring a clear federal policy that lends no credence, support, cooperation, or manpower to the extermination of the unborn; and other executive actions that are within his constitutional prerogatives.
Even if the Supreme Court were to adamantly protest such bold action, along with a loud chorus of leftists in the Democratic party and the liberal media, the president can do much more than he thinks to defend and protect the unborn, setting an example for others to lawfully and peacefully follow and changing the public mind on abortion.

So it is that we must urge the president to act, today, without delay. We cannot afford to wait for judges to do the right thing – nor should we permit elected officials to ignore the Constitution while they wait for orders from the bench. Even Assad is allowed no excuse.

Let's stop playing the hypocrite. Let's protect, once again, our beautiful babies – all of them – and take the righteous stand for justice that provides a guiding light to the world.

Unless we do this, as President Trump admits, we cannot expect peace and harmony to prevail.

My comments: Siena Hoefling is right, America, the President, the Congress and the Supremely Evil Court are HYPOCRITES! They are all Accomplices to Murder before the Living God, and America has NO FUTURE, before the living God, as long as their is Government Sanctioned Abortion. As for Syria, the Muslims have been fighting each other for 1,400 years and will continue until Christ Jesus returns. They Kill their Own will the same Brutality as they Kill the Infidels. We live in an Uncivilized World, and it will remain such until Christ Jesus returns.

PRO-LIFERS DELIVER 200,000 BABY SOCKS TO CONGRESS

Socked: Pro-lifers deliver 200,000 baby socks to Congress in plea to defund Planned Parenthood

Sasse praises millennials’ dedication to end abortion

By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Wednesday, April 26, 2017

Brightly colored baby socks flooded the halls of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, representing the hundreds of thousands of lives lost annually to Planned Parenthood, and sending the unmistakable message to Congress to defund the nation’s largest abortion provider.

Spearheaded by Students for Life of America, the SockIt2PP campaign collected 196,543 baby socks and plans to deliver a total of 323,299 to match the number of abortions Planned Parenthood performed last year.

“It’s a devastatingly large number,” said Sen. Ben Sasse, Nebraska Republican, standing on a podium above a giant mound of baby socks outside of the Capitol. “And we need to have images like this so that people start to reflect on the magnitude of suffering that’s happening out there.”

On Wednesday volunteers delivered 88,000 socks to members of Congress — the number of abortions Planned Parenthood has performed during the first 100 days of the new administration.

The demonstration comes in the midst of policy negotiations that will decide the fate of Planned Parenthood, which receives about $500 million in taxpayer funding every year to keep its doors open.

Before delivering the socks, pro-life activists, lawmakers and students held a rally on a Capitol Hill lawn. The baby socks were predominantly white, pink and blue. Others were patterned with soccer balls, polka dots and Batman logos.

Sue Thayer, a former Planned Parenthood center manager who is now a pro-life activist, said the baby socks were like something out of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum down the street.

“There should be little feet in all of these socks,” Ms. Thayer said. “There should be little babies in all of these socks.”

The baby socks were sent in from students at hundreds of high school and college chapters of Students for Life and other pro-life organizations.

Purity Thomas, president of the Roanoke Students for Life, said it’s unthinkable that “we allow our tax dollars to go to the funding of an organization that murders innocent children daily.”

“This is an organization that kills our brothers and sisters,” Ms. Thomas said. “How, as a nation, have we allowed this?”

Emily Brown, youth director at American Life League, said the baby socks send an unmistakable message.

“Today we’re sending a clear message to Congress that enough is enough,” Ms. Brown said. “We cannot sit around while Planned Parenthood slaughters the most innocent human beings among us.”

In order to avoid a Senate filibuster, Republicans have said they will defund Planned Parenthood simultaneously with the repeal of Obamacare through the reconciliation process.

The repeal bill took a major step toward enactment Wednesday, when it received the endorsement of the House Freedom Caucus. The conservative stalwarts had blocked the American Health Care Act last month because it did not go far enough to repeal Obamacare.

Samuel Matthews, president of Huntington High School Students for Life, said an organization that “calls taking the life of boys and girls in the womb ‘empowering’” does not deserve taxpayer funding.

“We are here because we have a problem with Planned Parenthood,” Mr. Matthews said. “And one day soon, Planned Parenthood will be defunded.”

Mr. Sasse said pictures showing the humanity of the unborn are a “huge reason why” the youngest generation is more pro-life than previous ones.

“And this picture that you’re trying to create today is another special way to tell the story of what we’re about.”

My comments: America has No Future, before the Living God, as long as their is Government Sanctioned Abortion Murder.
