Trump Admin Bans African Leader From US Who Announced Opposition To LGBTQ: “I Prefer To Anger Those Countries Than To Anger God”

How can one claim to worship God and yet , promote what God condemns and calls an abomination ?
Perhaps , someone should ask President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo .
No , this isn ’ t the Obama administration anymore , Christian Americans .
The Trump administration has banned a top Tanzanian official from entering the US due to his pro-Bible , pro-Christian views on homosexuality .
In a statement posted Friday , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo designated Paul Christian Makonda , administrative chief of the capital Dar es Salaam , “ as ineligible to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gross violations of [ human rights ] .
” take our poll - story continues below Keep in mind , again , this is not the administration of the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah that is advancing America to war against her greatest enemy : God .
• Trump : I Have No Problem With A Sodomite “ Married ” To Another Man Running For Office • US Embassy & George Soros Push Sodomite Pride Parade In 84 % Christian Country Of Georgia • Donald Trump Promises “ Forward Motion on Equality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is “ Evolving ” “ We are deeply concerned over deteriorating respect for human rights and rule of law in [ Tanzania ] , ” he added .
First of all , dealing with those who commit sodomy is not a violation of human rights .
In fact , just like there is no God-given right to worship false gods , there is also no right to engage in what the God who gives legitimate rights condemns .
Tanzania holds to what our forefathers held to and that is engaging in homosexual behavior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature ’ s God .
Furthermore , according to Reporters Without Borders , an international organization advocating freedom of information and freedom of the press , is “ deeply concerned ” about the freedom of expression in the country , according to Arnaud Froger , head of the group ’ s Africa chapter .
And Neela Ghoshal , senior LGBT rights researcher at Human Rights Watch , said Tanzanian authorities “ have orchestrated a systematic attack ” on LGBTQ people .
In 2018 , Makonda , for his part , announced the creation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ residents to spy on their neighbors , asking them to report any homosexuals via a phone hotline , NPR reported .
“ Report them to me , ” he said during a televised address .
The BBC reported that Makonda anticipated facing international backlash for the move , but said , “ I prefer to anger those countries than to anger God.
” “ As we take this stand , do not tell us about human rights , ” he explained further .
“ There is no right to go against creation written @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laws .
Being gay is not allowed here in Dar es Salaam.
” Now , this is a man with courage and conviction , not a double talked like many of American politicians and bureaucrats .
As for State Secretary Pompeo , whom I warned you could not trust when he was appointed and this guy claims to be a Christian , he issued a statement .
The Department of State is publicly designating Paul Christian Makonda under Section 7031 ( c ) of the FY 2020 Department of State , Foreign Operations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to his involvement in gross violations of human rights , which include the flagrant denial of the right to life , liberty , or the security of persons .
Specifically , the Department has credible information that Makonda was involved in such violations in his capacity as the Regional Commissioner of Dar es Salaam .
In that role , he has also been implicated in oppression of the political opposition , crackdowns on freedom of expression and association , and the targeting of marginalized individuals .
The United States remains deeply concerned over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of law in Tanzania .
This includes actions taken by the government that curtail freedom of expression , freedom of association , and right of peaceful assembly ; target marginalized people and the political opposition ; and jeopardize life .
Section 7031 ( c ) provides that , in cases where the Secretary of State has credible information that foreign officials have been involved in significant corruption or a gross violation of human rights , those individuals and their immediate family members are ineligible for entry into the United States .
The law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ publicly or privately designate such officials and their immediate family members .
In addition to the public designation of Paul Christian Makonda , the Department is also publicly designating his spouse , Mary Felix Massenge .
These actions against Paul Christian Makonda underscore our concern with human rights violations and abuses in Tanzania , as well as our support for accountability for those who engage in such violations and abuses .
We call on the Tanzanian government to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms , including the freedom of expression , association , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Trump administration is sorely misguided on this issue and needs a return to the actual rule of law .
Both Trump and Pompeo have shown complete disregard for biblical law , as well as the Constitution on many occasions .
After all , President Trump has even said he doesn ’ t have a problem with a sodomite “ married ” to another sodomite running for the White House and considers it “ fine , ” but God certainly does not .
They would do well to listen to William Blackstone : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America also are extremely clear here on this issue .
Right smack dab in the middle at number 26 is this : There is nothing “ normal , natural or healthy ” about sodomy .
It is unnatural , not normal and unhealthy .
It ’ s even shameful to imagine what these men do with their privates and their orifices , especially the one designed to emit human waste .
Our forefathers understood this well .
In quoting what I had previously written concerning how our founding fathers and the states previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actual rule of law , I wrote : First , note that our founding fathers would have been outraged that sodomites would be out in the open .
They knew that such perversion would both undermine and erode the moral foundations of civilization .
Under the British common law , the term sodomy was used to identify same-sex relations and was a capital crime .
Understand that the founders referenced Sir William Blackstone ’ s Commentaries on the Laws of England extensively .
He was a British attorney , jurist , law professor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Blackstone ’ s commentaries were the premiere legal source used by the Founding Fathers in America .
So this should carry some weight with those who claim they know what the Founding Fathers knew and wanted concerning the issue of sodomy , but I ’ m guessing they will dismiss it .
In Blackstone ’ s Book the Fourth of Public Wrongs : Of Offences against the Persons of Individuals , Chapter Fifteen , he writes the following on pages 215-216 ( emphasis added ) : IV .
WHAT has been here observed… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear in proportion as the crime is the more detestable , may be applied to another offence , of a still deeper malignity ; the infamous crime against nature , committed either with man or beast… .
But it is an offence of so dark a nature…that the accusation should be clearly made out… .
I WILL not act so disagreeable part , to my readers as well as myself , as to dwell any longer upon a subject , the very mention of which is a disgrace to human nature .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this respect the delicacy of our English law , which treats it , in it ’ s very indictments , as a crime not fit to be named ; peccatum illud horribile , inter chriftianos non nominandum [ “ that horrible sin not to be named among Christians ” —DM ] .
A taciturnity observed likewise by the edict of Constantius and Constans : ubi fcelus eft id , quod non proficit fcire , jubemus infurgere leges , armari jura gladio ultore , ut exquifitis poenis fubdantur infames , qui funt , vel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When that crime is found , which is not profitable to know , we order the law to bring forth , to provide justice by force of arms with an avenging sword , that the infamous men be subjected to the due punishment , those who are found , or those who future will be found , in the deed ” —DM ] .
Which leads me to add a word concerning its punishment .
THIS the voice of nature and of reason , and the express law of God , determine to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a signal instance , long before the Jewish dispensation , by the destruction of two cities by fire from heaven : so that this is an universal , not merely a provincial , precept .
And our ancient law in some degree imitated this punishment , by commanding such miscreants to be burnt to death ; though Fleta says they should be buried alive : either of which punishments was indifferently used for this crime among the ancient Goths .
But now the general punishment of all felonies is the fame , namely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( being in the times of popery only subject to ecclesiastical censures ) was made single felony by the statute 25 Hen .
VIII .
c. 6. and felony without benefit of clergy by statute 5 Eliz .
c. 17 .
And the rule of law herein is , that , if both are arrived at years of discretion , agentes et confentientes pari poena plectantur .
Most Americans are completely unaware that the “ Father of our country , ” George Washington , who would also be considered this country ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the service at Valley Forge in 1778 of Lt. Frederick Gotthold Enslin .
Why did he do this ?
According to the orders , which are held at the Library of Congress , Enslin was “ attempting to commit sodomy ” with another soldier .
Under the title of “ Head Quarters , V. Forge , Saturday , March 14 , 1778 ” there is the following entry : What ’ s even more interesting is that Enslin ’ s dismissal came less than two weeks after another soldier , Ensign Anthony @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt .
Enslin ” on Feb. 27 , 1778 .
Penny Star cites the transcription of the court martial dated March 3 , 1778 : “ At a Brigade Court Martial whereof Colo. Burr was President ( Feby .
27th .
1778 , ) Ensign Maxwell of Colo. Malcom ’ s Regiment tried for propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt .
Enslin .
The Court after maturely deliberating upon the Evidence produced could not find that Ensign Maxwell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Character of Lieutt .
Enslin further than the strict line of his duty required and do therefore acquit him of the Charge.
” Note that our first President viewed “ sodomy ” or homosexual relations with “ Abhorrence and Detestation.
” He was not a spineless , wishy washy , panty waisted man like the current occupant of the White House , who claims his views have “ evolved.
” He was a man that recognized perverse behavior for what it was , perversion .
He was not alone either .
In all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a criminal offense and eventually that grew to encompass each and every one of the fifty states .
By the way , that fell under “ equal treatment under the law.
” The law was based upon Leviticus 20:13 : This verse was “ adopted into legislation and enforced by the colonies of Massachusetts , New Hampshire , New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

VERMONT Ah , but some will say , “ Thomas Jefferson would have never stood for this .
He wanted liberty and equal rights for homosexuals to get married.
” Not according to the record he didn ’ t .
In Notes on the State of Virginia by Matthew Carey ( 1794 ) Jefferson indicated that in his home state of Virginia , “ dismemberment ” of the offensive organ was the penalty for sodomy .
I ’ m guessing there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that to take place .
You might say that is Jefferson ’ s home state , but not Jefferson ’ s thoughts on the issue .
Not so fast .
Jefferson actually authored a bill penalizing sodomy by castration ( The Writings of Thomas Jefferson , Andrew A. Lipscomb , editor ( Washington , D. C. : Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association , 1904 ) , Vol .
I , pp .
226-227 , from Jefferson ’ s “ For Proportioning Crimes and Punishments ) ) .
I would have to ask President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would ban George Washington , Thomas Jefferson or a host of our forefathers from the US ?
Based on their antichrist-style stand , I would say they would .
President Trump is not only in serious need to ask forgiveness for this but also repent of promoting such behavior , as is Secretary Pompeo .

And Neela Ghoshal, senior LGBT rights researcher at Human Rights Watch, said Tanzanian authorities “have orchestrated a systematic attack” on LGBTQ people.

The BBC reported that Makonda anticipated facing international backlash for the move, but said, “I prefer to anger those countries than to anger God.”
“As we take this stand, do not tell us about human rights,” he explained further. “There is no right to go against creation written on any religious books. Keep your laws. Being gay is not allowed here in Dar es Salaam.”
Now, this is a man with courage and conviction, not a double talked like many of American politicians and bureaucrats.
As for State Secretary Pompeo, whom I warned you could not trust when he was appointed and this guy claims to be a Christian, he issued a statement.

Right smack dab in the middle at number 26 is this:
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
There is nothing “normal, natural or healthy” about sodomy. It is unnatural, not normal and unhealthy. It’s even shameful to imagine what these men do with their privates and their orifices, especially the one designed to emit human waste.
Our forefathers understood this well.

Most Americans are completely unaware that the “Father of our country,” George Washington, who would also be considered this country’s first “Commander-in-Chief” approved the dismissal from the service at Valley Forge in 1778 of Lt. Frederick Gotthold Enslin. Why did he do this? According to the orders, which are held at the Library of Congress, Enslin was “attempting to commit sodomy” with another soldier. Under the title of “Head Quarters, V. Forge, Saturday, March 14, 1778” there is the following entry:
At a General Court Martial whereof Colo. Tupper was President (10th March 1778) Lieutt. Enslin of Colo. Malcom’s Regiment tried for attempting to commit sodomy, with John Monhort a soldier; Secondly, For Perjury in swearing to false Accounts, found guilty of the charges exhibited against him, being breaches of 5th. Article 18th. Section of the Articles of War and do sentence him to be dismiss’d the service with Infamy. His Excellency the Commander in Chief approves the sentence and with Abhorrence and Detestation of such Infamous Crimes orders Lieutt. Enslin to be drummed out of Camp tomorrow morning by all the Drummers and Fifers in the Army never to return; The Drummers and Fifers to attend on the Grand Parade at Guard mounting for that Purpose.
What’s even more interesting is that Enslin’s dismissal came less than two weeks after another soldier, Ensign Anthony Maxwell, was acquitted of the charge of “propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt. Enslin” on Feb. 27, 1778. Penny Star cites the transcription of the court martial dated March 3, 1778: “At a Brigade Court Martial whereof Colo. Burr was President (Feby. 27th. 1778,) Ensign Maxwell of Colo. Malcom’s Regiment tried for propagating a scandalous report prejudicial to the character of Lieutt. Enslin.

Note that our first President viewed “sodomy” or homosexual relations with “Abhorrence and Detestation.” He was not a spineless, wishy washy, panty waisted man like the current occupant of the White House, who claims his views have “evolved.” He was a man that recognized perverse behavior for what it was, perversion. He was not alone either. In all thirteen colonies, sodomy was treated as a criminal offense and eventually that grew to encompass each and every one of the fifty states. By the way, that fell under “equal treatment under the law.”
The law was based upon Leviticus 20:13:
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death.”
This verse was “adopted into legislation and enforced by the colonies of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.” Oh the irony that 2012’s GOP Mormon nominee for President Mitt Romney was the one to “legalize” homosexual “marriage” in Massachusetts. Here are just a few of the states and the punishments they executed for sodomy.

In explosive interview, author of Bioweapons Act Dr. Francis Boyle confirms coronavirus is an “offensive biological warfare weapon”

( Natural News ) Dr. Francis Boyle is perhaps best known for authoring the Biological Weapons Act .
In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire , shown below , Dr. Boyle reveals that the coronavirus now circulating in the wild , exploding as a pandemic , is indeed an “ offensive biological warfare weapon.
” In this eye-opening interview , probably soon to be banned by YouTube , Dr. Boyle plainly confirms exactly what Natural News has been reporting for over a week now : that the coronavirus is a biological weapon system which escaped the Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , spreading uncontrollably .
In his own words , he says , “ the coronavirus that we ’ re dealing with here is an offensive biological warfare weapon that leaked out of that Wuhan BSL-4 [ lab ] .
” This further confirms the proof that the coronavirus was genetically engineered using the pShuttle vector tool that ’ s commonly known and used by virology researchers .
It also ties into the fact that independent genomics researchers have also confirmed the coronavirus has been subjected to SARS gene insertions as part of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story continues below The mounting evidence of a laboratory origin is now irrefutable , yet the WHO is covering for China ’ s bioweapons program and trying to lie to the world about the origins of the virus , falsely claiming it came about from random permutations in the wild .
Here ’ s more of the transcript from the interview with Dr. Boyle , which was originally posted on the Geopolitics & Empire channel on YouTube .
It does seem to me that the Wuhan BSL-4 is the source of the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were researching SARS , and they weaponized it further by giving it gain-of-function properties , which means it could be more lethal , and indeed the latest report now is it ’ s 15 % fatality rate which is more than SARS , and 83 % infection rate .
So a typical gain-of-function is it travels in the air , so it could reach out maybe six feet or more from someone emitting a sneeze or a cough .
Likewise , this is a specially designated WHO research lab , so the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they knew full well what was going on there .
Yes , it ’ s also reported the Chinese stole coronavirus materials from the Canadian lab at Winnipeg ; Winnipeg is Canada ’ s foremost center for research developing and testing biological warfare weapons .
It ’ s along the lines of Ft. Detrick in the USA , and yeah , I have three degrees from Harvard , it would not surprise me if something was being stolen out of Harvard to turn over to China… the bottom line is , …and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the biological weapons convention , that was approved unanimously by both houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Bush , Senior , that it appears the coronavirus that we ’ re dealing with here is an offensive biological warfare weapon that leaked out of that Wuhan BSL-4 [ lab ] .
I ’ m not saying it was done deliberately , but there have been previous reports of problems with that lab and things leaking out of it , and I ’ m afraid that is what we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) The full video is posted at YouTube at the moment , but is likely to be banned : The “ newsclips ” channel has cross-posted the video on Brighteon in case YouTube bans it .
This is too important to allow to be censored .
We hope the journalists at Geopolitics & Empire — who produce an amazing assortment of podcasts and other materials — understand why it ’ s important to post this interview everywhere before the tech giants can extinguish it .
All credit goes to Geopolitics & Empire , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ podcast site to listen to their own fascinating interviews .
Geopolitics & Empire also has a channel on Brighteon.com , but so far they have not posted this interview .

(Natural News) Dr. Francis Boyle is perhaps best known for authoring the Biological Weapons Act. In an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire, shown below, Dr. Boyle reveals that the coronavirus now circulating in the wild, exploding as a pandemic, is indeed an “offensive biological warfare weapon.”
In this eye-opening interview, probably soon to be banned by YouTube, Dr. Boyle plainly confirms exactly what Natural News has been reporting for over a week now: that the coronavirus is a biological weapon system which escaped the Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory and broke containment in the local population, spreading uncontrollably.
In his own words, he says, “the coronavirus that we’re dealing with here is an offensive biological warfare weapon that leaked out of that Wuhan BSL-4 [lab].”

This further confirms the proof that the coronavirus was genetically engineered using the pShuttle vector tool that’s commonly known and used by virology researchers. It also ties into the fact that independent genomics researchers have also confirmed the coronavirus has been subjected to SARS gene insertions as part of the weaponization program.
The mounting evidence of a laboratory origin is now irrefutable, yet the WHO is covering for China’s bioweapons program and trying to lie to the world about the origins of the virus, falsely claiming it came about from random permutations in the wild.
Here’s more of the transcript from the interview with Dr. Boyle, which was originally posted on the Geopolitics & Empire channel on YouTube.
Dr. Francis Boyle:
It does seem to me that the Wuhan BSL-4 is the source of the coronavirus, yes. My guess is that they were researching SARS, and they weaponized it further by giving it gain-of-function properties, which means it could be more lethal, and indeed the latest report now is it’s 15% fatality rate which is more than SARS, and 83% infection rate. So a typical gain-of-function is it travels in the air, so it could reach out maybe six feet or more from someone emitting a sneeze or a cough. Likewise, this is a specially designated WHO research lab, so the WHO is in on it, and they knew full well what was going on there.
Yes, it’s also reported the Chinese stole coronavirus materials from the Canadian lab at Winnipeg; Winnipeg is Canada’s foremost center for research developing and testing biological warfare weapons. It’s along the lines of Ft. Detrick in the USA, and yeah, I have three degrees from Harvard, it would not surprise me if something was being stolen out of Harvard to turn over to China… the bottom line is, …and I drafted the U.S. domestic implementing legislation for the biological weapons convention, that was approved unanimously by both houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Bush, Senior, that it appears the coronavirus that we’re dealing with here is an offensive biological warfare weapon that leaked out of that Wuhan BSL-4 [lab]. I’m not saying it was done deliberately, but there have been previous reports of problems with that lab and things leaking out of it, and I’m afraid that is what we are dealing with today.

Massive cyber attacks leveled against Natural News, Zero Hedge, Great Game India and other sites reporting on the coronavirus
“Dr. Boyle’s position is in stark contrast to the mainstream media’s narrative of the virus being originated from the seafood market, which is increasingly being questioned by many experts,” reports GreatGameIndia.com, an independent news website that has also been subjected to aggressive cyber attacks after it began publishing information about the coronavirus pandemic (Natural News was also subjected to an extremely well-funded cyber takedown attack that disrupted our publishing operations for 2-3 days.)

As Great Game India now reports:
the mainstream media’s narrative still maintains that the origin of the 2019 Coronavirus is the Wuhan Seafood Market. After GreatGameIndia published the story on Coronavirus Bioweapon – not only were our databse tinkered with and our reports blocked by Facebook on the flimsy reason that they could not find GreatGameIndia Facebook page, but the report itself was viciously attacked by Foreign Policy magazine, PolitiFact (known widely as Facebook’s propaganda arm) and BuzzFeedNews.
China’s plan to weaponize viruses and wipe out the United States of America
The coronavirus biological weapon development program was part of China’s long-admitted effort to weaponize viruses and wipe out the USA by deploying them on U.S. soil.
“In a secret speech given to high-level Communist Party cadres nearly two decades ago, Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian explained a long-range plan for ensuring a Chinese national renaissance,” reports Great Game India:
“We are not as foolish as to want to perish together with America by using nuclear weapons,” said the general. “Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves.” The answer is found in biological weapons. “Of course,” he added, “we have not been idle, in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind.”
“In the long run,” said Gen. Chi, “the relationship of China and the United States is one of a life-and-death struggle.” This tragic situation must be accepted. According to Gen. Chi, “We must not forget that the history of our civilization repeatedly has taught us that one mountain does not allow two tigers to live together.”
According to Gen. Chi, China’s overpopulation problem and environmental degradation will eventually result in social collapse and civil war. General Chi estimated that “more than 800 million” Chinese would die in such a collapse. Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party has no policy alternative.
Either the United States is “cleaned up” by biological attacks, or China suffers national catastrophe.
In other words, China has been building a biological weapon to destroy the United States, and that weapon got loose in their own back yard. Now, it looks like China may have just nuked itself with that very same bioweapon, and the fate of China’s population, industrial output and political leadership looks very much in doubt.
Perhaps it’s fitting that the coronavirus may be the vector by which China destroys itself before its treacherous philosophy of communism, tyranny and mass death infects the entire world.

I think it is important to points out that I do believe that every human being is endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights , and among these is the God given right to engage in any and all types of political speech ( excluding speech which encourages violence against others . )

However , just because you have the right to do something does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good idea .
Remember , freedom is the right to make choices , both good and bad , both right and wrong .
I also do not think that anyone should be forced to recite the pledge of allegiance .
A lot of people do not know the history of the Pledge of Allegiance , the current version of which was written by ‘ Francis Bellamy n 1892 , and formally adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942 .
The official name of The Pledge of Allegiance was adopted in 1945 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ came on Flag Day in 1954 , when the words “ under God ” were added ’ according to Wikipedia .

After all , just about everything that we put on our phones and computers these days must be constantly “ fixed ” or “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This app that the Democrats were using did not have to be complicated .

But instead they just showed the rest of the world what not to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if this was a complete surprise .
According to CNN , it was clear well in advance that the app “ was not working properly ” … In fact , only about one-fourth of all precinct chairs were able to successfully download the app… There never was any training for the precinct chairs , and there was mass confusion among local party officials .
In Polk County , the chairman of the Democratic Party told his precinct chairs to simply call in the results , but that didn ’ t work either .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Times… Some precinct chairs were on hold with headquarters for two or three hours on Monday night , and it is still not clear why Iowa Democratic Party officials were not more responsive .

Sadly , the truth is that we have become a raging “ idiocracy ” where people can ’ t seem to do much of anything right .

This app that the Democrats were using did not have to be complicated. It simply needed to accurately relay data from the precincts to the Iowa Democratic Party, but thanks to “a coding error” that did not happen…
Due to a coding error, the app, created by a company called Shadow Inc., wasn’t reporting the correct data, according to the Iowa Democratic Party. The error resulted in the Democrats delaying all public reporting of the results of Monday’s caucuses, and has sown chaos and confusion in a hotly contested and deeply important primary.
After all of the hot air that the Democrats have been blowing around about “the integrity of our elections”, you would think that they would have their act together for the 2020 election.
But instead they just showed the rest of the world what not to do.
And it isn’t as if this was a complete surprise. According to CNN, it was clear well in advance that the app “was not working properly”…
Precinct captains from across Iowa began realizing days before the caucuses that the app was not working properly. Some complained to their county party leadership, others said nothing and hoped it would work at the needed moment and some just planned to call in their results, as has been done in the past. And most county party chairs openly worried about the lack of training on the reporting system.
In fact, only about one-fourth of all precinct chairs were able to successfully download the app…
Only a quarter of nearly 1,700 precinct chairs even successfully downloaded the app, according to a Democrat familiar with the matter. “I couldn’t get it to work,” said Jane Podgorniak, the Worth County party chair. “I tried and tried.”
There never was any training for the precinct chairs, and there was mass confusion among local party officials. In Polk County, the chairman of the Democratic Party told his precinct chairs to simply call in the results, but that didn’t work either. The following comes from the New York Times…
So last Thursday Mr. Bagniewski, the chairman of the Democratic Party in Iowa’s most populous county, Polk, instructed his precinct chairs to simply call in the caucus results as they had always done. But during Monday night’s caucuses, those precinct chairs could not connect with party leaders via phone. Hold times stretched past 90 minutes. And when Mr. Bagniewski had his executive director to take pictures of the results with her smartphone and drive over to the Iowa Democratic Party headquarters to deliver them in person she was turned away without explanation.
Some precinct chairs were on hold with headquarters for two or three hours on Monday night, and it is still not clear why Iowa Democratic Party officials were not more responsive.
Needless to say, this was a complete and utter embarrassment for the national Democratic Party, and DNC Chair Tom Perez is pledging that such a debacle will never happen again…
“What happened last night should never happen again,” Perez wrote in the statement. “We have staff working around the clock to assist the Iowa Democratic Party to ensure that all votes are counted. It is clear that the app in question did not function adequately. It will not be used in Nevada or anywhere else during the primary election process. The technology vendor must provide absolute transparent accounting of what went wrong.”
Hopefully they can get their issues ironed out, but the truth is that the Democratic Party has a long history of complete and utter incompetence.
Of course the Republican Party is not much better. In fact, I could tell you stories about Republicans in my area that would make your hair stand on end.
Sadly, the truth is that we have become a raging “idiocracy” where people can’t seem to do much of anything right. At one time we were a shining example to the rest of the world, but today we are a horde of entertainment-addicted zombies that never learned what it means to grow up and act like adults. For example, just consider what is happening at one of our most prestigious universities…
Students at Yale University are being encouraged to participate in a variety of programs offered by the Chaplain’s Office, including a weekly “Cookies and Coloring” hour and a campus “Bouncy Castle” during nice weather. The children’s activities are promoted as opportunities for adult students to relieve anxiety and disconnect from technology at the Ivy League institution.
The more mindless our entertainment, the more we like it. The number of alcohol-related deaths has doubled over the past 20 years, the suicide rate has soared to a record high, and we are taking more legal and illegal drugs than ever before. And in just about every category of immorality that you can possibly imagine we are either leading the world or we are in very close contention for the top spot. We are a complete and utter mess, and we on a road that inevitably leads to national ruin.
Of course if anyone dares to offend our snowflake sensibilities by confronting us with the truth, many of us instantly melt down and start throwing a temper tantrum.

Nancy Pelosi ripping up President Trump’s State of the Union speech was very disrespectful.
We would expect nothing less, or more, from Speaker of the House Pelosi.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed her contempt for President Trump in the starkest of terms Tuesday night when she promptly ripped up his speech the moment he finished—and as the cameras were still focused on the dais.
While social media users roasted Pelosi for the move, saying it was a disgrace, petty, and disgusting, the White House took to Twitter to point out that it is “her legacy”:
“Speaker Pelosi just ripped up:
“One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen.
“The survival of a child born at 21 weeks.
“The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller.
“A service member’s reunion with his family.”
The WH reacts to @SpeakerPelosi ripping up the President’s speech. White House officials tell @finnygo they found it “petty,” “surprising,” and “classless” https://t.co/IHb3yHgZXR — Sara Cook (@saraecook) February 5, 2020
In explaining her decision to reporters afterward, Pelosi said “It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative.”
"And what were the other alternatives? A flamethrower?" https://t.co/VkaDjIhjG1 — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) February 5, 2020
The Speaker called Trump’s speech a “manifesto of mistruths” in a statement afterward, saying it “should be a call to action for everyone who expects truth from the President and policies worthy of his office and the American people.”

thedcclothesline--2020-02-06--Federal Court: California Magazine Ban Violates 2nd Amendment

If Democrats had their way , most of us would not be allowed to have guns at all .
Those that were allowed , would be allowed just a single non-lethal bullet .
take our poll - story continues below You don ’ t really think Andy let Barney have a real bullet do you ?
Look at what is happening around the globe .
Very few countries allow for citizens to act in self-defense with anything that can actually defend one ’ s self .
With that said , there is good news coming out of California .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ favor of the Second Amendment to date , Judge Roger T. Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California determined on Friday that California ’ s ban on commonly possessed firearm magazines violates the Second Amendment .
The NRA-supported case had already been up to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on the question of whether the law ’ s enforcement should be suspended during proceedings on its constitutionality .
Last July , a three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit upheld Judge Benitez ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to him for further proceedings on the merits of the law itself .
Judge Benitez rendered his opinion late Friday afternoon and handed Second Amendment supporters a sweeping victory by completely invalidating California ’ s 10-round limit on magazine capacity .
“ Individual liberty and freedom are not outmoded concepts , ” he declared .
In a scholarly and comprehensive opinion , Judge Benitez subjected the ban both to the constitutional analysis he argued was required by the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller and a more complicated and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in prior Second Amendment cases .
Either way , Judge Benitez ruled , the law would fail .
Indeed , he characterized the California law as “ turning the Constitution upside down.
” He also systematically dismantled each of the state ’ s purported justifications for the law , demonstrating the factual and legal inconsistencies of their claims .
With all of the happenings in Virginia it is important to note that not all laws stick and if it violates the 2nd Amendment , hopefully a judge will see clearly enough to overturn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crazy gun laws .
• Gun supply retailers are FLOODING California with 30-round magazines , making sure patriots are armed up to defeat the communists when it all breaks loose Looks like all of those high-capacity mags that people bought are suddenly legal again .
Way to go California !
Every time tyrants come for our guns , we buy more .
In the end the liberals are facing more of a “ gun problem ” than they imagined they had in the first place .
Shall not be infringed , moonbats .

Very few countries allow for citizens to act in self-defense with anything that can actually defend one’s self.
With that said, there is good news coming out of California.
From BreakingtheMatrix:
In one of the strongest judicial statements in favor of the Second Amendment to date, Judge Roger T. Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California determined on Friday that California’s ban on commonly possessed firearm magazines violates the Second Amendment.
The case is Duncan v. Becerra.
The NRA-supported case had already been up to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on the question of whether the law’s enforcement should be suspended during proceedings on its constitutionality. Last July, a three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit upheld Judge Benitez’s suspension of enforcement and sent the case back to him for further proceedings on the merits of the law itself.
Judge Benitez rendered his opinion late Friday afternoon and handed Second Amendment supporters a sweeping victory by completely invalidating California’s 10-round limit on magazine capacity. “Individual liberty and freedom are not outmoded concepts,” he declared.
In a scholarly and comprehensive opinion, Judge Benitez subjected the ban both to the constitutional analysis he argued was required by the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller and a more complicated and flexible test the Ninth Circuit has applied in prior Second Amendment cases.
Either way, Judge Benitez ruled, the law would fail. Indeed, he characterized the California law as “turning the Constitution upside down.” He also systematically dismantled each of the state’s purported justifications for the law, demonstrating the factual and legal inconsistencies of their claims.
