democrats abortion

Tuesday’s Red Tsunami (see November 14 update)

The Democrats have completely done themselves in for the coming midterm election.

The economy is on everyone’s mind. Does not matter if you’re a liberal, or conservative, or a nothing. You’re thinking about this economy. It stinks.

The Democrats have two issues that they are fronting going into this election; Abortion, and January 6.

Two huge losers.

Even the liberal Clinton administration realized back in the 90s that, “it’s the economy stupid.”  Personal finance is what moves the dial when it comes to voting.

Barring some cheating, and there will be some, this will be not just a red wave, not just a red tsunami, but actually a red slaughter.

And may I just say, thank God. For years abortion has been the leading cause of death in U.S.A.  That alone is a reason to vote GOP.

 

 

 

Breaking the Code: Biden’s Intemperate Tirade

CNN is calling it, “The Midterm Message.”

It was more like the intemperate tirade.

Yesterday Joe Biden gave the most intrinsically vicious speech I have ever heard from a president (outside of a dictator in a socialist, fascist, or communist regime). I wish democrats would pull back for a moment and really listen to what this crash test dummy of a man is saying. Oh wait. They do listen. In fact they know “the code.”

Most know these code words and slogans because they get their news from CNN, or social media. Most of these people are simple voters, but others are in the trenches and willing to fight.

That said, once again, Joe is using his pulpit as a dog siren to really agitate the latter, who are void of a moral compass and are willing to lie, cheat, and destroy to move toward eliminating the chance of a Trump win in 2024 and move America toward democratic socialism (which generally leads to totalitarian communism) and The Great Global Reset.

Here’s a portion of what Joe said, with my translation of his devilish rhetorical code words in brackets:

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans [people who take literally the Articles of Confederation, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and the Constitution]  represent an extremism [January 6th] that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

“Now, I want to be very clear, very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans.  Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology [these are what the conservatives refer to as RINO’s and we need more RINO’s to join our cause].

“I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans [back when I was a Senator and liked to cut crooked deals with other unscrupulous members on both sides of the senatorial aisle].

“But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans [he is a dictator], and that is a threat to this country.

“These are hard things [and we must be ready to utilize the IRS, the DOJ, and street fighters to go to battle].

“But I’m an American President — not the President of red America or blue America, but of all America [conservatives must submit].

“And I believe it is my duty — my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful [members of the leftist media, get ready to quote me on this].

“And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution [they take it literally, not as the living/breathing document that we must change].  They do not believe in the rule of law [damn, we  fooled them with January 6th, didn’t we?]  They do not recognize the will of the people.

“They refuse to accept the results of a free election [they want to run Trump for president again!].  And they’re working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself [our ways to cheat are being severely restricted].

“MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love [the problem are those archaic born-again Christians].

“They promote authoritarian leaders [Trump], and they fan the flames of political violence [January 6th] that are a threat to our personal rights [abortion and LGBTQ+ agenda], to the pursuit of justice [equity], to the rule of law [our version, not theirs], to the very soul of this country [as envisioned by us].

“They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th — brutally attacking law enforcement — not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger to the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots [and we need to scare the hell out of all of those who consider themselves patriots].

“And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections [we must win the midterms and keep the White House in 2024 to further our agenda!].

“They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people [thank God the networks all rallied on election night–right?].  This time, they’re determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people [because they have changed the voting laws in 18 states and are considered changing them in 39 states this year alone!].

“That’s why respected conservatives, like Federal Circuit Court Judge Michael Luttig, has called Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans, quote, a “clear and present danger” to our democracy [don’t associated with them, cancel them whenever possible, and do all you can to silence them at the polls].”

Democrat Party policies have created modern plantations

Democrat party policies have created modern plantations.

These plantations don’t grow crops—they grow VOTES. They’ve harvested the votes of minorities for decades in return for welfare…and misery.

Addiction, violence, heartache, despair and slums are the lasting legacy of the democrats.

Sadly (and sickeningly) a host of naive evangelicals have given the donkey party their support and are voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. By the way, Kamala’s parents were radical activists who whole heartedly supported the Black Panthers in Oakland when she was a little kid.

If these Christians (who are joining the side of leftist radicals) really want to destroy racism, then let them pull it out by the roots. In the world of politics, racism is lying to a public year after year after misappropriating the taxpayers dollars raised in the name of minority justice.

Racism is distracting people from advancing by constantly reminding them they are victims and giving them a trickle of freebies in return.

Racism is perpetuating the myth of white supremacy in a nation that elected a black man President, not once, but twice.

Why would any thinking person (let alone a moral a moral one) vote to continue this evil racist machine?

And, by giving the democrats their support they are also backing the gruesome practice of abortion at all stages of pre-birth.

Additionally, can any Christian look at the spectacular longterm failures of Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and vote to promote and perpetuate this organized evil?

Wake up my comatose brethren!

Why ALL Christians Need to Be Aware of the Godly Policies Instituted by Donald Trump

The divide that has erupted between family members who support/don’t support President Donald Trump,  and friends who support/don’t support President Donald Trump is aiding in tearing the heart out of our great country. In fact, those who don’t support the president would often best be described as hating him.

Just look at the daily protests and nightly riots in cities throughout America. Those are horror-filled mobs.

Interestingly, while I’ve experienced many former friends avoiding me, or holding their nose when around me, or mocking me behind my back, I have never done the same to them (and most of my conservative friends would agree with me). If allowed, I could actually get along quite well with those liberal friends.  If allowed, I could easily have a conversation with them about life in general without getting political at all. And, if allowed, I could easily talk politics without losing my cool in the least. Why? Because I’m confident of my positions–because the truth always prevails.

But, very few of my liberal friends would ever allow any such conversation to happen because they are steaming mad.

Instead, some take to social media with snarky posts filled with false or incomplete information to support their opposition to Trump.

What particularly hurts is when my Christian brothers and sisters get caught up in this war. I dedicate this post to Christians who not only do not support President Trump, but they inwardly (or outwardly) despise him.

Right off the top, I’ll just tell you I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. I live in California where, as a conservative, my vote doesn’t mean a thing. That said, I made a personal statement by voting for Ben Carson. Prior to his running for President, I had been a big fan of Trump for years because of his larger-than-life personality and business savvy, however I wasn’t sure he would really align with my values politically if elected.

And then he won.

And then his first act was to reinstate and expand the Mexico City Policy which blocks funding for international organizations that perform or promote abortion. The new program is known as Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA), and covers $8.8 billion in family planning and global health funds that go to organizations abroad(none of whom may perform or promote abortion).

I was blown away.

As many of you are aware, my wife and I have dedicated much of our lives to the pro-life cause. The Mexico City policy was blocked by President Obama early in his first term.

As a follower of Jesus, there is so much more to rejoice over regarding the Trump Administration including all the devout Christians in his inner circle: Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Director of Health and Human Services Alex Adar, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, Secretary of Education Betsy Devos, and Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany to name a few.

And then there are the policies put forward by this Administration. This is not a comprehensive list, but these are a some that jump out at me:

2017

  • On January 23, President Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, which blocks funding for international organizations that perform or promote abortion. This new program is known as Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA), which now covers $8.8 billion in family planning and global health funds that go to organizations abroad(none of whom may perform or promote abortion).
  • On February 22, the Department of Education, in conjunction with the Department of Justice (DOJ) rescinded President Obama’s guidance that required public schools to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms and showers of their choice.
  • on October 6, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed two regulations to deal with the Obamacare “HHS contraceptive mandate”that had for years violated conscience and religious liberty. These new regulations exempt organizations that have moral or religious objections to purchasing insurance that includes coverage of contraceptives and abortion-causing drugs and devices.2018
  • On January 19, HHS issued a new proposed regulation on conscience protections related to abortion. Specifically, the regulation proposed to implement 25 laws that protect pro-life healthcare entities against discrimination by federal agencies — or state or local governments receiving federal funds — due to their objections to participating in abortion, sterilization, and other morally objectionable procedures.
  • On April 26, Mike Pompeo was confirmed as Secretary of State. In choosing Pompeo for this position, President Trump chose a born again Christian who cares deeply about religious liberty and will make it a priority to see the issue advanced through this administration. Pompeo joins other devout Christian’s in Trump’s inner circle including: Alex Azar, the Director of Health and Human Services,
  • On May 22, HHS issued a new proposed regulation reversing the Title X family planning regulations implemented by President Clinton. The proposed regulation would restore the separation of abortion services from the federal Title X family planning program, which President Reagan first implemented. The proposed regulation would also ensure parents are more involved in the decisions of minors to obtain services from Title X clinics. It reverses the discriminatory abortion referral requirement the Clinton regulations implemented and is poised to put a dent into Planned Parenthood’s roughly $60 million annual revenues from theTitle X program.
  • On August 1, the Trump administration relied on Executive Order 13818 (which builds on Global Magnitsky Act authority) to sanction two Turkish officials over the detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson due to his Christian faith. This Executive Order ultimatelyresulted in Pastor Brunson’s release.
  • On November 7, HHS finalized its two regulations to protect conscience and religious liberty from long-running problems with the Obamacare “HHS contraceptive mandate.” These two final regulations exempt organizations with either a moral or religious objection to purchasing insurance with coverage of contraceptives and abortion-causing drugs and devices. The regulations took effect on January 14, 2019.

2019

  • On January 18, HHS notified California that its law requiring pregnancy resource centers to post notices about how to obtain an abortion violated the pro-life Weldon and Coates-Snowe Amendments. This marks the first time that the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division at HHS found a state in violation of these laws. This demonstrates the administration’s commitment to enforcing conscience protections and its pro-life priorities.
  • On January 19, at the request of 169 members of Congress and 49 senators, President Trump sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in which he promised to veto any legislation that weakens current pro-life Federal policies and laws. This letter was a message to the new Democrat majority in the House that longstanding pro-life protections like the Hyde Amendment and safeguards protecting the conscience rights of health care providers are not negotiable.
  • On June 5, after an extensive audit into fetal tissue research, the Trump administration announced a major change in the enforcement of research contracts. HHS would no longer conduct intramural (internal) research using tissue from aborted babies and would greatly increase the ethics rules and safeguards that govern extramural (external) fetal tissue research contracts. All new external contracts will be subject to a congressionally authorized ethics advisory board, making it much more difficult for fetal tissue research contracts to be awarded by the National Institute of Health.
  • On October 11, 2019, Attorney General Barr delivered a striking defense of religious liberty at Notre Dame Law School. He noted, “[t]he imperative of protecting religious freedom was not just a nod in the direction of piety. It reflects the Framers’ belief that religion was indispensable to sustaining our free system of government.” The Attorney General proceeded to remind the audience that religion gives us the “right rules to live by.” Barr highlighted the recent attacks on religious liberty, and that the DOJ under his leadership has been fighting back and protecting religious liberty.
  • On December 20, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a final regulation to address the abortion surcharge hidden in many plans purchased on the Obamacare exchange. This final rule aligns federal regulations with section 1303 of the Affordable Care Act, ensuring that consumers know their health care plan covers abortion and that funding for abortion is kept separate from all other covered services.
  • On Dec. 20, 2019, the president signed into law Public Law 116-94, extending the EB-4 non-minister special immigrant religious worker program through September 30, 2020. The law allows these workers to immigrate or adjust to permanent resident by that date. Non-minister special immigrant religious workers include those within a religious vocation or occupation engaged in either a professional or non-professional capacity.  This date on which the program will end also applies to accompanying spouses and children of these non-minister special immigrant religious workers.2020
  • On January 16, HHS Secretary Alex Azar hosted 34 countries for a meeting on how to promote women’s health and protect the lives of the unborn. This meeting followed an invitation sent by Secretary Azar and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to 70 different countries inviting them to join a coalition to oppose international efforts to enshrine abortion as a human right.
  • On February 4, during his State of the Union address, President Trump called on Congress to pass legislation that would ban late-term abortions. To highlight the need for this legislation, he invited special guest, Ellie Schneider, who was born at just 21 weeks gestation.
  • On March 24, DOJ filed a statement of interest in a case protecting women against men intruding on their sporting competitions. The statement made clear that athletic qualifications on the basis of “gender identity” were harmful to women’s sports.
  • On May 3, DOJ filed a statement of interest supporting the religious freedom of Lighthouse Fellowship Church in Chincoteague Island, Virginia. After the church held a 16-person worship service on Palm Sunday (following strict social distancing protocols), a criminal citation and summons were issued against the pastor pursuant to Governor Ralph Northam’s executive order which banned in-person religious services but allowed large gatherings for businesses like liquor stores and dry cleaners.
Jesus’ desire is that all of his followers be as one. In John 17:20-21 Jesus says in a prayer before his disciple (just prior to his sacrificial death): “…I pray also for those who will believe in me… that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.”
We need to stop these viscous arguments and discuss Donald Trump’s policy record based on the facts. Hatred and division are relished by our enemy, the devil. We need to be as one.
My hope is that those Christians–and just good people of sound mind–who dislike this president, will take a step back, put aside their disgust of Trump’s personal life (the hair, the Tweets, the past affairs which he was always open about, etc), and look at the accomplishments his administration has done. These accomplishments have come about despite the absolute hateful opposition he has received from the media, the democrats, and the radicals in the street.

Georgia’s Heartbeat Bill, Stacey Abrams, and the Lies of the Pro-Abortion Democrats

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Genesis 3:1

We should never be surprised when pro-abortionists use crafty rhetoric to trick people into believing that good is evil and evil is good.  Such is the case with yet another liberal democrat politician.

Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” 2018 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said the Georgia “fetal heartbeat” bill, that would ban abortion as soon as a doctor can detect a fetal heartbeat, was “evil.”

While discussing a potential Hollywood filming boycott in Georgia should the bill becomes law, Abrams said, “We have to be a state that is not only friendly to businesses we have to be friendly to the women who work in businesses. You should not have to worry about you ability to controlling your bodily autonomy because the governor has pushed such an abominable and evil bill that is so restrictive. It’s not only bad for morality and our humanity, it’s bad for business.”

Abrams, who lost her bid for governor to pro-life Republican Brian Kemp, criticized pro-life lawmakers and the heartbeat bill during a rally in Dalton, Georgia, according to the Times Free Press.

“HB 481 is evil, and it exists because it was a campaign promise. It exists because it was a political stunt,” Abrams said.

Georgia House Bill 481, the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (L.I.F.E.) Act, would ban abortions on an unborn baby after their heartbeat is detectable, around six weeks. It would allow exceptions for rape, incest and threats to the mother’s life. In addition, the bill would allow parents to claim unborn babies as dependents on their taxes and include the unborn baby in census data. It also would allow mothers to collect child support for pregnancy and delivery costs from the father prior to the baby’s birth.

It passed a final vote Friday in the House, and now is headed to the governor’s desk for his signature.

“It is dangerous,” Abrams told reporters. “I think it is scientifically insupportable. I know it will cause harm to women, especially to those women who face the highest rate of maternal mortality already. We know that we will lose doctors. We will lose jobs. And I believe it is purely a craven exercise designed to fulfill a political promise.”

What Abrams meant by “scientifically insupportable” is not clear, but it’s generally medically accepted that an unborn baby’s heart is beating by six weeks of pregnancy, though research by the University of Oxford suggests the heartbeat may begin as early as 16 days after conception.

Abrams’ claims that the bill “is dangerous” is ridiculous.  She ignores the fact that the bill would protect human lives by banning abortions.  In fact, if enforced, the legislation would end almost all abortions in Georgia and save countless unborn babies’ lives. Legalized abortion also does nothing to help prevent maternal mortality.

And now the Hollywood liberals–a group of characters both filthy rich and filthy immoral–are stomping their collective feet like snot-nosed pre-schoolers who didn’t get their way: they’re threatening  a massive protest to boycott the state and take their millions in movie and television productions with them.

In March, a federal judge blocked Kentucky’s new heartbeat bill. In January, a judge also declared Iowa’s heartbeat law unconstitutional. North Dakota and Arkansas passed heartbeat bills several years ago, but federal courts struck down their laws as well.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals said the following about its ruling on the six-week abortion ban: “Because there is no genuine dispute that (North Dakota’s law) generally prohibits abortions before viability — as the Supreme Court has defined that concept — and because we are bound by Supreme Court precedent holding that states may not prohibit pre-viability abortions, we must affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the plaintiffs.”

There is more hope that the U.S. Supreme Court may consider an abortion ban, but it is difficult to say if it would for certain – especially after Chief Justice John Roberts recently sided with the liberal justices on an abortion case.
