As Donald Trump’s popularity continues to climb, one wonders why he appeals to so many Americans of diverse backgrounds. One argument from some ardent supports is that a success businessman like Trump is needed to run the country. Though it does seem superficially like a cogent argument, one speculates why the government should be in business in the first place. Can anyone name any successful business venture they manage? Amtrak, Social Security, Healthcare and the VA are but some of the most obvious programs that are woefully inadequate. Plus, if a private businessman could do better than the government, why are programs such as the ones previously mentioned not placed into the free market where businessmen can run them? (This argument was well articulated by Mike Church during his morning show on Sirius/XM). In addition, does being a successful businessman translate into being a successful president? I don’t know.
Another reason people support Trump is his ability to openly fight the PC police. Americans are tired of the same politically correct jargon spewed out from the political candidates and force fed to us by the media every day. Americans are discouraged by the stories of so many citizens that are politically and economically ruined if they find themselves at odds with the system. The draw in Trump is that he fights back. He says what he thinks, and openly attacks the bastion of PC dogma- the mainstream media. Many find it refreshing to hear someone actually speak his mind and fully flex their First Amendment Rights. They also find it refreshing to hear someone articulate issues that are seemingly ignored by the political class such as illegal immigration, crimes committed by illegal immigrants, a southern wall, the trade inequalities with China, and a balanced budget.
Donald Trump is also a political outsider. He is not part of what Senator Cruz calls the Washington Cartel. As we have seen after the last election, no matter how many Republicans we vote into office, or how many branches of government the Republicans control, no positive change is being undertaken. People feel as if their vote doesn’t count. No matter who goes into office, the same outcome will emerge: bigger government, more rules, more regulations and less economic growth. Thus, many Americans believe that the only way to fix Washington is to bring an outsider like Trump into this city.
Lastly and most importantly, I believe people are attracted to Trump because he is simply entertaining. No matter how you feel about the man, he can bring in ratings. Americans love entertainment, and thus many simply love Donald Trump as a result.
Will his appeal lead him into the White House? Time will tell.
The proverbial wall between state and religion had already been built and continues to become more vehemently fortified by the day. While misquoting from the Constitution, men and women alike defend this wall as if it were Check Point Charlie during the Cold War.
However, these same men and woman are no longer content with simply just defending this monstrosity of a wall. They are now climbing over it and encroaching on our religious freedoms while ignoring the actual words inscribed in our Constitution as set forth in the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
An excellent example of this unconstitutional religious encroachment is the state’s harassment of The Little Sisters of the Poor. The group comprises nuns who have taken a vow of poverty, obedience, and chastity that lovingly care for the elderly poor. The Lowers Circuit Courts with the backing of the Affordable Care Act, also known infamously as Obamacare, have mandated the nuns to disavow their faith and comply with the secular law of the land. As a result the nuns have taken to the courts to defend their First Amendment rights. Instead of meeting with the elderly poor, they are meeting with lawyers. Instead of spending time in poor house they are spending time in the court of law.
The problem stems from Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate which requires the nuns to offer all participants in their insurance plan contraception, abortion drugs and female sterilization procedures. Under the law as set forth by Obamacare, the sister’s insurance plan does not have to directly supply participants with these contraceptive methods, but must allow their insurer or an outside health plan to provide separate birth control coverage—thus making the nuns indirectly culpable in defying their religious faith.
As a result, The Little Sisters of the Poor have recently filed a second brief to the Supreme Court of the United States to petition them to hear their case on its First Amendment merits before the government can impose millions of dollars of fines if they don’t comply with it.
If the government would go far as to harass and financially bog down the Sisters of the Poor, what and who will be next. Will any religious organization or place of worship be able to survive? Will religion be relegated to the dark catacombs under building or in dark caves like where the first Christians use to congregate? Unfortunately, that is where the slippery slope is taking our country.
As Hillary Clinton fortunately lost her presidential bid, it is necessary to take a good look at her record in order to gain a glimpse of how she would have performed as the president. Her long list of failures let’s us appreciate how close America was to electing one of the biggest thugs and failures into office.
List of Hillary Clinton Failures:
Gave Russia a reset button which reset cold war
Lack of a coherent plan to address the Arab Spring
Deteriorating relations with Israel
Assessment of Bashar al-Assad (whom she labeled a “reformer”)
Cluelessness that withdrawal of U.S. forces in Iraq would give the radicals a foothold
Benghazi scandal
Lack of bringing to justice the jihadists who killed our 4 Americans
Victory lap on Osama bin Laden giving a false impression of al-Qaeda’s decimation
Blindsiding the Israeli prime minister with a public declaration of U.S. policy on “1967 borders”
Backing Hugo Chavez’s candidate in Honduras rather that the middle and business classes’ choice (who was also pro-American)
Relaxation of Cuban sanctions followed by Alan Gross’s imprisonment
Surprising Poland and the Czech Republic by pulling out anti-missile sites
Embracing Hosni Mubarak (calling him a family friend) just when pressure was needed to prevent what ultimately became his overthrow
The lack of a cogent approach to the Middle East
Failing to take decisive action in Syria before jihadists poured into the country
The decision to overthrow President Gaddafi in Libya
Downplaying human rights, especially with China
Failing to robustly support the Green Revolution
Engagement of Iran and foot-dragging on sanctions, allowing Iran to reach the cusp of a nuclear weapons capability
Announced “pivot” to Asia without carrying through
Erased email server
Clinton cash
Maintaining the status quo with Pakistan
Lied to FBI and to Congress
Creator of ISIS by pulling out of Iraq too quickly despite military recommendation not to
Called Trump Supporters “Basket of Deplorables”
When directly asked what her accomplishments were as Secretary of State, she answered (Direct Quote):
“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I’m glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”
Remember America, you get what you vote for.

I feel as if the America we know it is slowly slipping away and turning in a moral cesspool whereby the secular God called Liberty has run the true God almighty out of town. The irony is, most of us Americans don’t see what’s going on nor will understand its consequences before it’s too late.
This atheistic path towards ultimate destruction is nothing that should come as a surprise. Our leader’s, and I use this term regretfully-Obama, faith was based upon that of hate towards our country, her history, and all that she stands for. With a communistic upbringing, mentors and friends such as Frank Marshall Davis, Professor Edward Said at Columbia, and Bill Ayers, and the Anti-Western/American preacher Reverend White, it is no surprise our country is heading quicker by the day not only towards financial disaster but also towards overall moral depravity. (See article for more of Obama’s upbringing)
The moral code which once was once a pillar to both our individual family and to that of society has been decimated. The forefathers of this country understood that our unalienable rights as a citizen were endowed not by government but by a supreme creator. Unfortunately, these rights and the moral code to which the country was founded has been replaced by a secular belief whereby mob rules. Devine law has been replaced by the whim of the majority or just those loud enough to have their voices heard. They now mandate what is right or wrong. No longer do the Devine laws scribed in the Judeo-Christian texts apply to the modern world. Man’s laws and moral codes of ethics now supersede those that created the moral fabric which has kept Western society together for almost 2 millennia.
Not only is the Devine law under attack, but also the laws of the land are now subject to interpretation. With judicial activism and a president who no longer believes in the Constitution, we as a country are slowly slipping into anarchy. As can be seen in Fergusson and Baltimore, facts no longer matter. People are guilty before proven innocent. Facts have become irrelevant. Justice no longer requires it.
The history of the world has repeatedly shown that when a society disregards God, it will fail to exist. From the Ten Tribes of Israel, Babylon and Rome all the way to the more recent secular governments such as the Nazis or the French under Napoleon, collapse was the end result.
America is not far behind. She has lost her Moral Compass. As the family unit collapses, atheism rises, and morality dissolves, so does the country. Without this Moral Compass, more and more Americans feel lost, without a purpose. No wonder there are shooting, riots, a rise in financial debt, growing disrespect for our laws and cops, and an overall moral and economic decline in this country. As this Moral Compass dissolves, so does our entire society. How long will it be before our country become just an interesting footnote in history? Unfortunately, it seems as is if that day may be coming much quicker, the faster we head down this path of self-destruction.
Has the world completely turned upside down? Has Hell frozen over? Well today it has. Myself and most Conservatives in this country were actually routing for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. It sounds odd to write and even more to acknowledge.
However, as the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) was indirectly voted down in the House, both Conservatives and Democrats rejoice at the overwhelming win over Obama and the RINOs in Congress. Though the TPA was essentially passed, it cannot return to Obama for finalization because a different component known as the was not also passed by the House—essentially stopping the Bill along with its “fast track” from going to Obama for final authorization.
If TPA were passed, it would have expanded presidential powers in numerous ways unintended by the Founding Fathers of this country. Most notably, Obama would be able to negotiate international trade deals that Congress would be unable to amend, change or even discuss before being fast tracked into a single Yes/No vote. Plus, as Senator Sessions warned, Obama could potentially implement the agreements and deals made by this Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) through executive action and bypass Congress all together. So what would happen then? Guess what, other countries in this union could essentially rewrite United States Law without Congressional approval. Your rights as an American will essentially be handed over to the global elite—an elite that does not have American interest in hand; an elite who care for their own financial prosperity; an elite with no cares for the general masses. (All of a sudden it makes all those conspiracy theories regarding the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Grove, and the Illuminati seem all to tangible)
If the TPA was passed it would also usher in other unwanted trade deals such as Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). This agreement would restrain the United States ability to control its own immigration policy and deregulate the United States work visa program.
What is most concerning is that we don’t even know what’s in the TPA. Just like Obamacare, it was fashioned behind closed doors without public scrutiny. There is probably much, much more in it and other trade agreements Obama is negotiating that we don’t even know.
So now it becomes clear why Obama adamantly wants to sign TPA into law and came to Capitol Hill to lobby for its passage. With the goal of fundamentally changing America, he could essentially have carte blanche to do whatever he wants. Through executive order and fast track, the USA as we know it would cease to exit! God help our country!
Mitch McConnell and John Boehner typify what is wrong with the Republican Party. Their allegiance is not for the people who voted them into office, nor is it to the principles of the party itself. Instead, they are proverbially in bed with the Democrats and have has their own interests and self-perpetuation as their paramount concern.
Their most recent digression against the will of their constituents was to pass obama’s trade bill through the Senate. What other negligent baggage will they carry into June—the re-passage of the anti-Bill of Rights Patriot Act? Plus, where has Congress been in the repeal of Obamacare, creating legislation to secure our southern border, checking/balancing obama’s unilateral legislation through executive action, or reinvigorating the massive-job creating Keystone Pipeline?
Instead, McConnell and Boehner rebuke and politically neuter those within their ranks who do not comply with their own agenda. Even when the Republicans publically cast their dispersions against Obama and the Democrats, there is never any effective action behind those words. Just look at what the Republicans have achieved since gaining both houses in 2015. Name one accomplishment? Name anything they did that they promised they would do?
Plus, because the Republican Party has created such negative baggage, can they ever recover? Do we need a fresh new start with an entirely new political party—a party that would combine the best of the Conservatives, Libertarians, Tea Party and yes Republicans? I say some immediate changes need to be made or our once great republic will be just a short footnote in the history of the world.
The Obama administration has been marred by debt, scandals, foreign policy failures,and an overall fragmentation of this country. He has plunged the United States into an abyss of economic debt that will create generations of American servitude paying off his wayward spending endeavors. The Red, White and Blue’s epitaph will read like a litany of failures perpetrated on both the American people and the world by this president:

As our president is about to concede to Iran’s nuclear aspirations, one must assess the motive behind his foreign policy. Permitting Iran to continue running nuclear centrifuges at underground sites would assuredly give this rouge country nuclear capabilities. Remember, Iran has, in effect, been at war with the United States ever since the hostage crisis of 1979. They are the same country burning US flags, who massacred US Marines in Beirut 1983, who trained Hezbollah mercenaries in the bombing of the US military housing facility at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, who threatens to wipe Israel off the map, and who continues to have mock war games against American-looking ships.
Honestly, there is no rational reason why obama would or even should allow a sworn enemy of the United States to continue such an inevitably disastrous program. It would be like President Truman giving Imperial Japan or the Nazis the atomic bomb before the conclusion of WWII. Iran’s goals and aspirations run completely contrary to that of the United States, Israel and all of Western Society. Remember, Iran has been funding and aiding in terror all over the world since 1979. Imagine the devastation that they could create with atomic weapons? Their potential to cause mass casualties would be almost unfathomable in this modern day.
Plus, if Iran obtains nuclear capabilities, so will other terrorist-run Middle Eastern countries. Saudi Arabia already openly stated that it will not be ruling out the possibility. Who will be next—maybe Syria or ISIS? The Middle East is already a cauldron of instability just waiting for the final spark to ignite and plunge the planet into another global war. The question is not: Will the Middle Eastern obtainment of nuclear weapons be the spark which ignites WWIII? The real question is: When will it ignite global war? This statement is not fear mongering or even a farfetched hypothesis. It is an unfortunate fact.
So why would Obama pursue such an inevitably disastrous policy? Here are a few possibilities. Please write down more if you can think of any:
-Is it because Obama completely distains Netanyahu and Israel?
-Is it because Obama is sympathetic to Iran and their cause?
-Is it because Obama agrees with Sharia law?
-Was it Obama’s upbringing and his Muslim beliefs?
-Does obama want the Middle East to completely destroy itself?
-Is it because Obama wants to find another disastrous way to punish the United States for what he perceives is its former transgressions?
-Is it because Obama wants to see more Americans at home and abroad die?
-Is it because Obama wants to see the United States destroyed?
-Is it because Obama just simply hates the United States and all of Western Society?
-Is it because Obama is that naïve and believes arming Iran with nuclear weapons will bring peace to the Middle East or somehow balance power in that region?
-Does Obama simply just want Israel destroyed?
Or maybe it’s a combination of many of the above stated hypothesis. I don’t know the answer but I do know one thing: A nuclear Iran will be a complete disaster that future generations (if any still exist) will look back on a say: that’s was the final straw.
Where is the press? Where is the outcry by the media? Instead of reporting the news, they blame the Republicans for posting a note to Iran on Senator Cotton’s website. Plus, they misrepresented the fact and stated that it was sent to Iran.
We have a president out of control and a mainstream media run by progressive leftist who let him do whatever he wants without question. God save our country.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy in the human body and represents a major cause of disability in sports and in the workforce. Second only to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) in incidence, cubital tunnel effects over an estimated 7,500,000 million Americans.
Despite staggering prevalence of the condition, there is no effective yet comfortable brace available on the market until now.
Plus, tendinitis at the elbow, also technically known as epicondylitis, tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, effects up to 2% of the entire population and accounts for almost 1% of the visits to the primary care physician. Peaking at age 40-50, the condition causes discomfort, can worsen cubital tunnel syndrome, and may make playing certain sports more difficult.
BENEFITS:
Designed to cushion elbow area
Isolate point of injury from contact with brace and/or other surfaces
Displacing pressure/friction away from the ulnar nerve
It allows the point of injury a chance to heal, decompress and prevent
further injuries from occurring.
Comfortable and Easy to Use
BEST TIME TO WEAR THE BRACE:
Bedtime: it will maximize the time in which the brace can work. By decompressing the injured area and nerve, the brace will allow the body to heal the area and nerve without unwanted compressive injury.
Sitting at a desk whether at work or at class
Driving- either as a passenger or driver
Flying
People in debilitated state where they are in a wheelchair or bed can use the brace to prevent or treat ulnar and surrounding area injury
How dare Obama lecture those attending the National Prayer Breakfast about the Crusades and tell them to basically get off their high horse! This is truly an abject slap in the face to all God-loving Christians and to those who have been terrified, tortured or murdered by ISIS and other jihadist Islamic cults. His indignant comments are not only of improper taste but also of ill-conceived knowledge.
As George Santa once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. Now, to get the facts straight, the original Crusades, despite much belief, was not commissioned by the Pope to regain the holy land. After the church council in Clermont, France in 1905, Pope Urban II called upon the West to assist their Christians Brothers in the East against the barbarous Muslim Turks who were committing relentless atrocities against them.
To quote: “For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised them. For, as the most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for awhile with impurity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends”.
Sound familiar? Now just replace Muslim Turks with ISIS or Boko Haram, and you can understand how the first Crusades parallel what is occurring today, a thousand years later. The Crusades were not some grandiose land grab but instead sparked as a direct result of jihadi-like Muslim aggression. To infer otherwise is to be ignorant of history and to the Pope Urban’s original proclamation. The mission was to stop the atrocities being committed against the Eastern Christian population and put an end to Muslim aggression.
Another major problem with Obama’s statement is that he defend, if not justifies, ISIS’s behavior by implying that Christians have acted no better. The comparison is both juvenile and nearsighted. Plus it mimics the logic of an 8 year old: “My friend Billy did it when he was younger, so why can’t I?” What basis does Obama have to “get on his high horse” and lecture those at the National Prayer Breakfast? Why must he defend the jihadists by attacking Christians? I don’t see Christians burning, beheading and torturing people in Christ’s name. However, I do see the opposite in Muhammad’s.
The bottom line is that Obama is no friend to Christians, Jews or even Americans. He is a communist/socialist sympathizer who wants America transformed into an atheist, mediocre nation without national pride, religious beliefs or any coherent identity. To argue any other point would be simply ignoring Obama’s action over the past 6 gloomy years.
