wnd--2020-02-09--45 American states 'illegally affected' by 1 state's serious gun control

An Illinois law is discriminating illegally against the residents of 45 other states , contends a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court by 18 state attorneys general .
The AGs are backing the Second Amendment Foundation 's lawsuit against Illinois ' refusal to allow residents of states deemed to be weak on gun control to obtain conceal-carry permits .
The case , Culp v. Raoul , addressed the question of whether or not the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms `` requires that the state of Illinois allow qualified non-residents to apply for an Illinois concealed carry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Super Bowl sleaze : 'Have we lost our minds ? '
The case was brought by SAF , the Illinois State Rifle Association , Illinois Carry and several private citizens .
They are represented by attorney David G. Sigale of Wheaton , Illinois .
The friend-of-the-court brief , submitted by Missouri Attorney General Eric S. Schmitt , is joined by attorneys general from Alabama , Arizona , Arkansas , Georgia , Idaho , Indiana , Kansas , Montana , Nebraska , North Dakota , Ohio , Oklahoma , South Carolina , South @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Virginia .
The brief argues Illinois law allows for people from `` any state or territory of the United States with laws related to firearm ownership , possession , and carrying , that are substantially similar to the requirements to obtain a license '' in Illinois .
But the petition argues `` that right to concealed carry is denied , in a discriminatory and arbitrary manner , to the law-abiding and qualified persons in 45 states , who are prohibited from even applying for an Illinois concealed carry license regardless of their qualifications @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virtually all non-residents obtaining a concealed carry license for self-defense violates the petitioners ' rights under the Second Amendment . ''
Alan Gottlieb , the chairman of SAF , said : `` We 're grateful to the 18 attorneys general for joining the amicus , on behalf of the residents of their respective states .
The right to bear arms does not end at the Illinois state line , and untold numbers of citizens from other states have occasion to travel to or through Illinois and they should not be expected to leave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ border . ''
The 7th U.S .
Circuit most recently affirmed the state 's restrictions .
But , according to SAF , the state essentially bans nonresidents from its program .
And without a review by the Supreme Court , `` virtually all Americans will be deprived of their full Second Amendment rights while in the state of Illinois , based on nothing more than their state of residence . ''
The 7th Circuit 's ruling in favor of the law said `` monitoring compliance of out-of-state residents is limited in material ways @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and timely information about nonresidents – for example , about a recent arrest for domestic violence or a voluntary commitment for inpatient mental health treatment . ''
The circuit court previously invalidated a general statewide ban on carrying weapons .
It invited the state to `` craft a new gun law that will impose reasonable limitations '' on the activity , as long as it was consistent with the Second Amendment .
The new law was the result of the state 's subsequent work .
The state says it requires applicants to show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ danger .
Within the past five years , they must not have not been a patient in a mental hospital , been convicted of a misdemeanor or two or more violations of driving under the influence , or participated in a residential or court-ordered drug or alcohol treatment program .
Requirements are the same for residents and nonresidents , but all nonresidents whose state verification programs do n't meet Illinois ' demands are disqualified at the outset .

(LIVESCIENCE) -- A criminal trial has begun of an archaeologist accused of forging a trove of Roman artifacts that allegedly show a third-century depiction of Jesus' crucifixion, Egyptian hieroglyphics and the early use of the Basque language.
Archaeologist Eliseo Gil and two former colleagues appeared this week in a criminal court in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the capital of Spain's Basque Country, The Telegraph reported. They are accused of creating forgeries of ancient graffiti on hundreds of pieces of pottery, glass and brick that they claim were found in the Roman ruins at Iruña-Veleia, about 6 miles (10 kilometers) west of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Gil claimed the graffiti on the artifacts showed very early links between the Roman settlement in Spain and the Basque language; he also claimed that a drawing of three crosses scratched on a piece of ancient pottery was the earliest known portrayal of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

wnd--2020-02-10--Side-by-side video proves Warren is least genuine candidate since Hillary

Are you an Elizabeth Warren fan who missed the post-debate coverage of her on Friday ?
Do n't worry .
You probably saw all of her best lines before .
If you think I 'm just a conservative pulling some ruse , some cunning trick upon you , I 'm merely extrapolating from two separate interviews she gave after Friday 's debate in New Hampshire .
Warren is nothing if not an energetic , spry septuagenarian and she managed to make time for both MSNBC and CBS News during the backstage press free-for-all .
Time for different answers for different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ( peace ) pipe , however .
Take a look at this side-by-side assemblage , posted to Twitter by the fine folks from Townhall , which showed her interviews with the two outlets .
TRENDING : Facebook drops the hammer on Dems wanting video of Pelosi ripping Trump speech removed It might sound like this would produce some discordant melange of sound , the kind of squawking cross-talk you 're used to hearing on a contentious political chat show .
For reasons you 'll quickly grok , it did n't : It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Nevertheless , she persisted '' story , totally unrehearsed .
Then a talk about how she 's been `` fighting unwinnable fights all my life '' -- like getting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , a massively interventionist consumer financial `` watchdog '' that acts as a pit bull for the left 's agenda while being almost entirely ( and arguably unconstitutionally ) unaccountable to elected officials .
Another unwinnable fight : Her battle to `` take back a Senate seat from a popular incumbent Republican . ''
Just so we 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wake of Ted Kennedy 's death , a special election for his seat was held in 2010 , shortly after his 2009 passing .
In the most aberrational Senate election result of the 21st century , Brown scored a win in America 's most arguably liberal state over uninspiring Democrat candidate Martha Coakley because of a poor campaign , Democrat voter apathy and anger over Obamacare .
Two years later , no one in the Democratic Party made those same mistakes again and Warren became an incredibly unsurprising winner .
But the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feels like you 're listening to this in stereo at times .
The words are almost exact -- and you get the feeling she 's used them before .
This is n't someone hitting the same points , she 's hitting the same syllables .
I understand the use of talking points -- every candidate does it , even Donald Trump -- but at some level your reactions ca n't be mental cut-and-pasting of material that probably did n't originate from you .
Some of the reactions : Ironically , the comparisons with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a slightly different faux pas , Warren seems to have lifted one of her jokes from the next-to-last debate from the 2016 standard-bearer .
I have to admit even I was brought to , if not laughter , a chuckle over that one .

I ’ ve been coloring my hair for years.

At least Warren did n't do it word-for-word then .
As for Friday , eh .

wnd--2020-02-10--Impeachment managers finally lose touch with reality: 'The president is not exonerated'

The least-surprising verdict in recent history came down this past week when President Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate after an impeachment trial that was never needed nor in any doubt .
The constitutionally mandated 67 votes to remove the president were never going to be there and the only real question was whether there would be any Republican defections .
( Mitt Romney of Utah , wringing his hands a bit for historical effect , managed to get a little more press coverage out of the whole shebang by voting `` yes '' on one of the two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ended Wednesday , but for some people , the hope lives on and the dream shall never die .
Two of these groups are the House Democrat impeachment managers and CNN hosts -- and in an interview that aired Friday , the two had a meeting of the minds ( such as they may be ) in which the impeachment managers declared Trump really had n't been acquitted , even though he had been just two days earlier .
The seven members of the team sat down with Anderson Cooper on Friday and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acquittal : First , the trial had n't been fair , the managers argued , presumably because they were n't allowed to run the trial like the Marx Brothers routine the House impeachment inquiry had been .
Second , the president had n't been `` exonerated '' by the trial -- a linguistic conflation of `` exoneration '' and `` acquittal '' that 's more than a little misleading .
TRENDING : Facebook drops the hammer on Dems wanting video of Pelosi ripping Trump speech removed CNN head Jeff Zucker said in October @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state-run TV '' because of its slant , so imagine what he must think of this sentence in CNN 's meta-news writeup of the sit-down in which the writer described the president 's post-acquittal address : `` The next day , Trump took a victory lap in a vindictive White House speech in which he gave no indication that he considered his actions wrong or regrettable . ''
Because Trump `` gave no indication that he considered his actions wrong or regrettable , '' Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York gave us the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because Republicans did n't vote their way .
`` And absent any consequences , to the extent that he perceives the acquittal as an exoneration , it 's a fake exoneration , '' Jeffries said .
`` But to the extent that the president perceives it as vindication of his bad behavior , his constitutional crime , his wrongdoing , then there is reason to believe that he will endeavor to do it again . ''
The words `` exoneration '' and `` acquittal '' were put in close quarters not infrequently during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not been exonerated , ” California Rep. Zoe Lofgren said right off the bat .
When asked what she meant by that , Colorado Rep. Jason Crow helpfully mansplained for her : `` It 's hard to have an acquittal without a fair trial . ''
“ And this was the first impeachment trial in American history where we didn ’ t have witnesses and documents , ” Crow said .
“ And I think the American people realize that , because , as we sit here right now , there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country , and they ’ re taking their oath , and they ’ re going to be sitting as jurors in trials .
And they ’ re going to hear from witnesses and documents .
And they ’ re asking themselves why Washington and Donald Trump should be any different .
And , of course , the answer is , it shouldn ’ t .
And they understand that.
” And they 're going to be asking themselves why are they not senators .
And they 're going to be asking themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them after an impeachment inquiry by the lower house of Congress .
And they 're going to be asking themselves why that impeachment inquiry was n't rigged so that the accused had virtually no defenses during it .
And what Jason Crow is saying is , they 're not going to understand that .
They 're not going to understand that impeachment was an inherently political process that is n't a criminal trial .
They 're not going to understand the Democrats wanted to turn it into the same three-ring circus the House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will understand all that , and this is a fatuous argument .

This article appeared originally on The Western Journal .

The least-surprising verdict in recent history came down this past week when President Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate after an impeachment trial that was never needed nor in any doubt.
The constitutionally mandated 67 votes to remove the president were never going to be there and the only real question was whether there would be any Republican defections. (Mitt Romney of Utah, wringing his hands a bit for historical effect, managed to get a little more press coverage out of the whole shebang by voting "yes" on one of the two counts.)
The trial may have ended Wednesday, but for some people, the hope lives on and the dream shall never die. Two of these groups are the House Democrat impeachment managers and CNN hosts -- and in an interview that aired Friday, the two had a meeting of the minds (such as they may be) in which the impeachment managers declared Trump really hadn't been acquitted, even though he had been just two days earlier.
The seven members of the team sat down with Anderson Cooper on Friday and two arguments for the non-acquittalness of the acquittal:
First, the trial hadn't been fair, the managers argued, presumably because they weren't allowed to run the trial like the Marx Brothers routine the House impeachment inquiry had been. Second, the president hadn't been "exonerated" by the trial -- a linguistic conflation of "exoneration" and "acquittal" that's more than a little misleading.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
CNN head Jeff Zucker said in October that Fox News was "akin to state-run TV" because of its slant, so imagine what he must think of this sentence in CNN's meta-news writeup of the sit-down in which the writer described the president's post-acquittal address: "The next day, Trump took a victory lap in a vindictive White House speech in which he gave no indication that he considered his actions wrong or regrettable."
Because Trump "gave no indication that he considered his actions wrong or regrettable," Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York gave us the usual spiel about the president being emboldened because Republicans didn't vote their way.
"And absent any consequences, to the extent that he perceives the acquittal as an exoneration, it's a fake exoneration," Jeffries said. "But to the extent that the president perceives it as vindication of his bad behavior, his constitutional crime, his wrongdoing, then there is reason to believe that he will endeavor to do it again."
The words "exoneration" and "acquittal" were put in close quarters not infrequently during the interview
“I think he’s not been exonerated,” California Rep. Zoe Lofgren said right off the bat.
When asked what she meant by that, Colorado Rep. Jason Crow helpfully mansplained for her: "It's hard to have an acquittal without a fair trial."
“And this was the first impeachment trial in American history where we didn’t have witnesses and documents,” Crow said.
“And I think the American people realize that, because, as we sit here right now, there are thousands of Americans walking into courthouses across the country, and they’re taking their oath, and they’re going to be sitting as jurors in trials. And they’re going to hear from witnesses and documents. And they’re asking themselves why Washington and Donald Trump should be any different. And, of course, the answer is, it shouldn’t. And they understand that.”
And they're going to be asking themselves why are they not senators. And they're going to be asking themselves why the accused wasn't brought before them after an impeachment inquiry by the lower house of Congress. And they're going to be asking themselves why that impeachment inquiry wasn't rigged so that the accused had virtually no defenses during it.
And what Jason Crow is saying is, they're not going to understand that. They're not going to understand that impeachment was an inherently political process that isn't a criminal trial. They're not going to understand the Democrats wanted to turn it into the same three-ring circus the House impeachment inquiry was. Or maybe they will understand all that, and this is a fatuous argument.
Equally fatuous was the equation of "acquittal" and "exoneration" by the impeachment managers.
“Well, and back to the acquittal part of this, I would consider that fake news, because we did not have a fair trial,” Florida Rep. Val Demings said.
“The president is not exonerated today.”
It's interesting you would call "acquittal" fake news, Rep. Demings, considering even CNN's been calling it that (since that's what it was) and I thought calling the media "fake news" was eroding trust in our most critical institutions.
Beyond that, I think we should look at the deliberate intermixture of two similar-but-distinct words throughout the entire interview. As per Merriam-Webster:
acquittal (noun): a setting free from the charge of an offense by verdict, sentence, or other legal process.
a setting free from the charge of an offense by verdict, sentence, or other legal process. exonerate (verb): to clear from accusation or blame.
Now, for most intents and purposes -- but not all -- Trump has been exonerated, the official accusation and any chance of statutory blame being placed upon him have both been lifted. However, short of evidence that proves precisely the frame of Donald Trump's heart and mind as he chatted on the phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, there can be no total exoneration from two charges that technically aren't even crimes.
So, in an extraordinarily weaselly way, the House impeachment managers are right. They're right, however, in the same way that almost no defendant -- save on those episodes of "Law & Order" where the maid confesses on the stand to murdering the accused's husband because of a broken-off affair -- is ever truly exonerated.
There's always someone, somewhere, who has a bit of doubt as to whether or not you did it. In the case of Trump, if you're a Democrat, I can guarantee you probably think he's guilty as the day he took office.
But acquittal? Oh, yeah, that totally happened. And it wasn't just one of those routine procedural votes merely covered on C-SPAN. If you wanted to avoid watching the epic fail last week of three years worth of impeachment saber-rattling, you had to turn on Netflix.
If you can make people believe these two words are one and the same, however, the hope is that things get muddier over time. Was the president actually acquitted?

After all, they'll get the media to write it.
No. Acquittal happened. The fever dream has died. The circus tents have taken up their stakes and packed themselves up. You can have a few more days of talking about how "vindictive" the president was and how brave Mitt Romney is. And then, yet again, this all goes away.
I'm sure there will be some fresh outrage to replace it, mind you, but I can't really think of where you go after impeachment.

However , the sad tendency of conservatives is to follow a victory celebration with deescalation and diversion , while , if they were in our place , progressives would pile back in the war room to strategize how to press their advantage toward the next milestone on the path to their long-term goal .
Having an election to focus on gives conservatives a goal , too , and I 've long maintained that President Trump will be reelected in a landslide .
But having a short-term agenda of winning an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long-term vision for a truly secure and harmonious family-centered society in which people love their government for its efficiency and responsiveness and where the values of cooperation and mutual care of our fellow man are so common that today 's pandemic of social crises is just a bad memory .
If we 'd had THAT vision all along – the vision of `` ordered liberty '' cited by the founders – we would n't be on the precipice of national collapse today .
It is small consolation that the various Democratic factions are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Biden Socialists , Bernie Communists , Buttgig Fascists , Warren Femi-Nazis , or some combination of these will lead the Blue Army in November .
In the end , power-players without principles always follow the law of the political jungle : Might makes right .
Be their vanguard Orcs , Uruk-hai , Trolls or Witches , you can be sure Mordor will be unified when the final battles unfold .
The great danger for conservatives is presuming that merely electing President Trump will save this republic .
There is much he can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ King Josiah ( 2 Kings 22-23 ) , the most righteous of all the Hebrew kings of the Old Testament : `` Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him , who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength . ''
During his reign , Josiah literally purged every agent and agenda of what we might call `` the Deep State '' from Israel .
`` … Nevertheless , the LORD did not turn away from the fury of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke Him to anger . ''
TRENDING : Pelosi fires off on reporter asking about SOTU tantrum : ' I do n't need any lessons from anybody' King Josiah was personally blessed for what he did , and the nation had a great reprieve while he reigned .
Through Huldah the prophetess , God specifically told Josiah , `` because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you to your fathers , and you will be gathered to your grave in peace .
Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place . ''
In other words , the ultimate fate of the nation was in the hands of the people , not the king , and they themselves did not repent as Josiah had , and as the people of Nineveh did in Jonah 3:5-10 : `` When God saw [ the true repentance of the Ninevites ] – that they had turned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them . ''
What were the sins of Manasseh ?
They are explained in 2 Kings 21 : `` He did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites .
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed , and he raised up altars for Baal .

He sacrificed his own son in the fire , practiced sorcery and divination , and consulted mediums and spiritists . ''
Without getting too graphic , Manasseh 1 ) revived the Canaanite religious cult of sexual perversion involving male and female prostitution on hilltops amidst giant phallic poles called Asherim , named for Asteroth ( Ishtar ) , the goddess of fertility and female consort of Baal ( Satan ) ; 2 ) he revived the practice of child sacrifice , burning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3 ) he led the nation away from the exclusive worship of Jehovah God in favor of polytheism ( multiple gods and religions ) .
Importantly , these were the sins of Ahab in the Northern Kingdom ( Israel ) leading to God 's desolation by Assyrian hands in 722 B.C .
Thus , no surprise when God used the Babylonians in 576 B.C .
to desolate the Southern Kingdom ( Judah ) for 70 years .
Specifically , God stated regarding Manasseh 's sins , `` I will stretch out over Jerusalem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israel 's capital ] and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab , and I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish – wiping it and turning it upside down . ''
Absent repentance , America faces the eventual , inevitable judgment of desolation for the same sins : widespread unchecked sexual perversion , child sacrifice through abortion – in numbers presumably far beyond the body count of the Canaanites – and the abandonment of the legal recognition of Jehovah God as sovereign over America in favor of SCOTUS-imposed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restore the pre-'47 law of tolerance but not equality for atheism and false religions . )
As strongly as I support President Trump whom I consider him to be our modern equivalent of a judge of the Israelite republic , he can not save us from these national sins , and frankly , he does not ( yet ) approach the righteousness of King Josiah , who in 2 Kings 23:7 `` tore down the quarters of the Sodomites that were in the house of the LORD '' ( the Judean political equivalent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whereas President Trump has unfortunately aligned with the corrupt GOP establishment on this critical biblical issue .
We must n't forget that when explaining to the Hebrews His command to expunge the Canaanites from the Holy Land , God specifically warned , `` you must not commit any of these abominations – neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you . ''
This is God 's public-policy mandate for all residents of any land where He is Lord , including ours .

If we'd had THAT vision all along – the vision of "ordered liberty" cited by the founders – we wouldn't be on the precipice of national collapse today.
It is small consolation that the various Democratic factions are presently embroiled in civil war over whether the Biden Socialists, Bernie Communists, Buttgig Fascists, Warren Femi-Nazis, or some combination of these will lead the Blue Army in November. In the end, power-players without principles always follow the law of the political jungle: Might makes right. Be their vanguard Orcs, Uruk-hai, Trolls or Witches, you can be sure Mordor will be unified when the final battles unfold.
The great danger for conservatives is presuming that merely electing President Trump will save this republic. There is much he can do, but remember the lesson of King Josiah (2 Kings 22-23), the most righteous of all the Hebrew kings of the Old Testament: "Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength." During his reign, Josiah literally purged every agent and agenda of what we might call "the Deep State" from Israel. "… Nevertheless, the LORD did not turn away from the fury of His burning anger, which was kindled against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke Him to anger."
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
King Josiah was personally blessed for what he did, and the nation had a great reprieve while he reigned. Through Huldah the prophetess, God specifically told Josiah, "because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its people … Therefore I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place."
In other words, the ultimate fate of the nation was in the hands of the people, not the king, and they themselves did not repent as Josiah had, and as the people of Nineveh did in Jonah 3:5-10: "When God saw [the true repentance of the Ninevites] – that they had turned from their evil ways – He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them."
What were the sins of Manasseh? They are explained in 2 Kings 21: "He did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as King Ahab of Israel had done, and … In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven. He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists."
Without getting too graphic, Manasseh 1) revived the Canaanite religious cult of sexual perversion involving male and female prostitution on hilltops amidst giant phallic poles called Asherim, named for Asteroth (Ishtar), the goddess of fertility and female consort of Baal (Satan); 2) he revived the practice of child sacrifice, burning his own son to death; and 3) he led the nation away from the exclusive worship of Jehovah God in favor of polytheism (multiple gods and religions).
Importantly, these were the sins of Ahab in the Northern Kingdom (Israel) leading to God's desolation by Assyrian hands in 722 B.C. Thus, no surprise when God used the Babylonians in 576 B.C. to desolate the Southern Kingdom (Judah) for 70 years. Specifically, God stated regarding Manasseh's sins, "I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria [Israel's capital] and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish – wiping it and turning it upside down."
Absent repentance, America faces the eventual, inevitable judgment of desolation for the same sins: widespread unchecked sexual perversion, child sacrifice through abortion – in numbers presumably far beyond the body count of the Canaanites – and the abandonment of the legal recognition of Jehovah God as sovereign over America in favor of SCOTUS-imposed polytheism since 1947. (We must restore the pre-'47 law of tolerance but not equality for atheism and false religions.)
As strongly as I support President Trump whom I consider him to be our modern equivalent of a judge of the Israelite republic, he cannot save us from these national sins, and frankly, he does not (yet) approach the righteousness of King Josiah, who in 2 Kings 23:7 "tore down the quarters of the Sodomites that were in the house of the LORD" (the Judean political equivalent of the Log Cabin Republicans), whereas President Trump has unfortunately aligned with the corrupt GOP establishment on this critical biblical issue. We mustn't forget that when explaining to the Hebrews His command to expunge the Canaanites from the Holy Land, God specifically warned, "you must not commit any of these abominations – neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you." This is God's public-policy mandate for all residents of any land where He is Lord, including ours.
The true purpose of America's reprieve is repentance and realignment with God. If we fail to heed that, President Trump's heroic swamp-draining efforts will all be for naught, and America, too, will be wiped like a dish.


wnd--2020-02-10--Race card alive and well with Democratic left

The rabid , radical Democratic left , bent on destroying not just President Donald J. Trump , but all those who oppose their efforts , have stepped up their divisive game .
Using targets like Rush Limbaugh and my clients Sheriff Joe Arpaio , Chief Justice Roy Moore , Laura Loomer and George Zimmerman , it is yet another open season to brand anyone the left disagrees with as `` racists . ''
I , too , am one of their targets .
As just two recent examples , the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( AOC ) and presidential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jumping on the news that conservative icon Rush Limbaugh has terminal stage 4 lung cancer , and claiming that he is not worthy of his justly deserved award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom , given to him by President Trump .
It came as no surprise that they smeared Rush as a racist who does not deserve this honor .
However predictable for AOC , here is what this childish half-wit socialist venomously spewed on Rush : '' The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an extraordinary sacred award .
… We 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level as Rosa Parks , you know , for example in terms of their contributions to American progress .
… Rush Limbaugh is a virulent racist , but even just on top of that , to do it in the middle of a State of the Union and not even dignify it with its own ceremony – there 's all sorts of norms that are being violated , not just for people 's humanity , but also it truly just cheapens the value of it . ''
[ John Bowden , `` Ocasio-Cortez @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Limbaugh 'On the Same Level ' as Rosa Parks , '' The Hill , Feb. 5 , 2020 . ]
Not to be undone , the criminal Joe Biden had this to add , also jumping on the grave of a dying man : TRENDING : Pelosi fires off on reporter asking about SOTU tantrum : ' I do n't need any lessons from anybody' '' Rush Limbaugh spent his entire time on the air dividing people , belittling people … '' – meaning that Rush is a racist .
Ironically , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than impaired physical and mental state , where he can barely remember where he is and what he is doing at any given time – this dishonest serial plagiarist and Ukrainian bribery and shakedown artist seems to characteristically go blank on the remarks he made about Barack Obama 's `` blackness '' during the 2008 presidential campaign .
Stated Biden , `` I mean , you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and clean and a nice-looking guy .
I mean , that 's a storybook man . ''
Translated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only do n't speak like his white self , but are also unkempt and filthy .
Not to be undone , in the wake of their rival Biden 's reverse racist attack , other presidential candidates jumped on the race-baiting bandwagon .
Pete Buttigieg , aka `` Little Petey , '' had this to declare , on the 25th birthday of Trayvon Martin no less , in a widely publicized , defamatory and libelous tweet : '' Trayvon Martin would have been 25 today .
How may 25th birthdays have been stolen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violence , and fear . ''
Pete Buttigieg # BlacklivesMatter 11:12 am .
Little Petey 's tweet is notable for its libel – having smeared my client George Zimmerman with the tar of `` white supremacy . ''
Zimmerman , acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin , has already sued Martin family lawyer Benjamin Crump , HarperCollins , members of the Martin family , including but not limited to Trayvon 's dishonest mother , Sabrina Fulton , who is now running for political office in South Florida , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of process respectively , in allegedly conspiring to present a fraudulent witness during the criminal trial .
Go to www.larryklayman.com to read amended complaint .
None other than world-class Kansas City and Super Bowl winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes has bravely acknowledged the truth about Zimmerman acting in self-defense , for which he was deluged with vicious criticism .
Before that another black icon , Kobe Bryant , also refused to condemn George .
May his great soul rest in peace , something that has been denied to my client , despite his acquittal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential candidates do not have the honesty much less the class of Mahomes or Kobe .
Also jumping on the reverse racist bandwagon was , you guessed it , Pocahontas herself , the irrepressible and pathologically lying socialist presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren .
She tweeted : '' My heart goes out to @ Sabrina Fulton and Trayvon 's family and friends .
He should still be with us today .
`` We need to end gun violence and racism .
And we need to build a world where all of our children – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up safe and free . ''
Breibart had this to say about Warren 's outrageous use of the race card and her mimicking of Little Petey 's `` whorish '' gambit to cozy up to left-leaning black voters : '' Warren did not mention that Martin was shot and killed in self-defense on Feb. 26 , 2012 .
Charges were brought against George Zimmerman , the man who shot Martin , but the New York Times reports a jury dismissed them after Zimmerman described how Martin 'knocked him to the ground , punched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sidewalk . '

As with my other clients who have been defamed repeatedly and made radioactive by Democratic politicians and their enabling Fake News leftist media , Little Petey and Pocahontas have just bought themselves defamation lawsuits , which George Zimmerman has just authorized yours truly to file in the next days .
Stay tuned .
In this day and age of outright war with the left , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the proverbial other cheek and ignore these outrages .
If we do not fight back , peacefully and legally in court and elsewhere , what is the alternative ?
To live in a hate-filled divided nation where the races are turned against each other and politicians and others of all stripes can say and do as they please without consequence .
My brave clients and I will have none of it , and you fellow patriots are duty-bound to join our cause before the republic is totally torn asunder by these despicable forces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and join and support our Justice League to help me and our staff return this country to one nation under God , for liberty and justice for all , without regard to race , color , religion , creed , sex or nationality .

The rabid, radical Democratic left, bent on destroying not just President Donald J. Trump, but all those who oppose their efforts, have stepped up their divisive game. Using targets like Rush Limbaugh and my clients Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Chief Justice Roy Moore, Laura Loomer and George Zimmerman, it is yet another open season to brand anyone the left disagrees with as "racists." I, too, am one of their targets.
As just two recent examples, the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and presidential candidate Joseph Biden wasted no time cheaply jumping on the news that conservative icon Rush Limbaugh has terminal stage 4 lung cancer, and claiming that he is not worthy of his justly deserved award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, given to him by President Trump. It came as no surprise that they smeared Rush as a racist who does not deserve this honor.
However predictable for AOC, here is what this childish half-wit socialist venomously spewed on Rush:
"The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an extraordinary sacred award. … We're talking about putting someone on the same level as Rosa Parks, you know, for example in terms of their contributions to American progress. … Rush Limbaugh is a virulent racist, but even just on top of that, to do it in the middle of a State of the Union and not even dignify it with its own ceremony – there's all sorts of norms that are being violated, not just for people's humanity, but also it truly just cheapens the value of it." [John Bowden, "Ocasio-Cortez: 'Nauseating' for Trump to Put Limbaugh 'On the Same Level' as Rosa Parks," The Hill, Feb. 5, 2020.]
Not to be undone, the criminal Joe Biden had this to add, also jumping on the grave of a dying man:
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
"Rush Limbaugh spent his entire time on the air dividing people, belittling people …" – meaning that Rush is a racist.
Ironically, and true to form – given Biden's more than impaired physical and mental state, where he can barely remember where he is and what he is doing at any given time – this dishonest serial plagiarist and Ukrainian bribery and shakedown artist seems to characteristically go blank on the remarks he made about Barack Obama's "blackness" during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Stated Biden, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook man."
Translated that means Biden believes that most blacks not only don't speak like his white self, but are also unkempt and filthy.

Pete Buttigieg, aka "Little Petey," had this to declare, on the 25th birthday of Trayvon Martin no less, in a widely publicized, defamatory and libelous tweet:

But the current crop of white presidential candidates do not have the honesty much less the class of Mahomes or Kobe.
