[Jesus asked them.] ‘Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder [abortion], adultery, sexual immorality [homosexual behavior], theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

Everyone of these Republicans In Name Only should be primaried and defeated by an actual constitutional conservative who has not capitulated to the radical homosexual lobby in this nation. These 24 RINOs by voting to affirm the delusional fantasies of transsexuals are helping to destroy the military and are, in my opinion, putting both delusional transsexuals and all other military personnel in danger on the battle field during combat.
Update: The Illinois House of Representatives overrides the Governor’s veto increasing the individual State income tax rate by 32%.
https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/unsustainable-raising-taxes-solves-nothing-makes-illinois-worse-off/
“The Illinois State House was back in session this afternoon to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a 32 percent permanent tax hike on Illinois families (SB 9). This tax grab also raises the corporate income tax rate by 33 percent. As anticipated, the House voted to override the veto this afternoon by a vote of 71-42 [71 being the minimum number of votes to override.]—with 61 Democrats and 10 Republicans voting in favor of increasing our taxes [By raising the tax rate by 32%. Plus, no doubt, increasing the cost of goods and/or increasing unemployment by raising corporate income tax rates by 33 1/3rd percent.].

Six months after the 44th year of the illegal, unconstitutional Roe vs. Wade decision, approximately 495,890 (almost half a million) babies within the womb have been murdered because of federal government sanctioned evil based upon one million murders of babies within the womb per year. And the murders continue day after day. What has Congress done to stop the unconstitutional murder of our own children? Absolutely NOTHING. Congress can not even defund Planned Murderhood.

Petition: http://nationalprolifealliance.com/lacAM_petition.aspx?pid=0219&npla=EH17
Abolishing the murder of babies within the womb by Congressional law will actually be faster and more effective than waiting on the court. Right now there are five justices on the court who support the murder of babies within the womb. The four radical Leftist justices appointed by Democrat Presidents and Justice Kennedy. Therefore, to even have a chance of the court reversing, we need one more Constitutional Justice and the one appointed has to replace one of the five pro-murdering babies within the womb justices. Even then, it would take a couple of years, at least, to get the case through the court system.
Passing a law of Congress is the best way of ending the terror of our American holocaust. The best way to abolish the murder of babies within the womb. The best way to stop any State from passing a law allowing the murder of babies within the womb. And it is also best constitutionally.
Life for all persons within the United States including babies within the womb is guaranteed and protected by the Declaration of Independence, Amendment V of the United States Constitution, and Amendment XIV of the United States Constitution. No court, no government body, no individual can constitutionally sanction the murder of babies within the womb. All such decisions, laws, and regulations are patently unconstitutional and illegal and should be immediately abolished by Congress by law!
Statistically, everyday of delay over 2,700 babies are murdered in the womb through abortion using 1 million abortions a year as a baseline. It is past time to attack the evil of murdering babies within the womb on every front with every legal weapon we can use until the murder of babies within the womb is abolished completely throughout the United States and its territories. Murder of babies within the womb is a horrendous evil that needs to and must be terminated.

Isaiah 1: 1-31 (NIV)
The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem [Applicable to the United States today, in my opinion. GOD is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. HE is righteous, just, and true yesterday, today, and tomorrow!] that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: ‘I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me [The United States has and is rebelling against GOD!]. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel [the United States] does not know, my people [the United States] do not understand.’
Woe to the sinful nation [the United States], a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord [the United States]; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel [the United States] and turned their backs on him [the United States] .
Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil.
Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege. Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!], we would have been like Gomorrah [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!].
[Read Genesis 18 and 19 for the Biblical account. Genesis 19: 23-29 (NIV)]
“By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he [GOD] overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities [A righteous act by a righteous GOD WHO destroyed evil people who refused to repent from their evil. And yes, I believe the account and so did JESUS the SON of GOD. HE referenced Sodom and/or Gomorrah several times. Matthew 10: 15 (NIV) “Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”]—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he [GOD] brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.”
This is also why homosexual radicals attack Christians who speak out against homosexual behavior. Christians who know the Bible know that homosexual behavior is sin punishable by spiritual death. There is NO “right” to homosexual behavior and people are NOT born homosexual. Homosexual behavior is learned behavior. Therefore, people do not have to be involved in the behavior and people can repent and STOP being involved in the behavior!]
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom [the United States]; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah [the United States]! ‘The multitude of your sacrifices—what are they to me?’ says the Lord. ‘I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you [the present or the future for the United States?]; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening [the present or the future for the United States?].
Your hands are full of blood [the present for the United States as we as a nation MURDER over a million babies a year through government sanctioned abortions!]!
Wash and make yourselves clean [Will we?]. Take your evil deeds out of my sight [Will we?]; stop doing wrong [Will we?]. Learn to do right [Will we?]; seek justice [Will we?]. Defend the oppressed [Will we? Who are more oppressed than murdered babies?]. Take up the cause of the fatherless [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s]; plead the case of the widow [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s].’
‘Come now, let us settle the matter,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient [Stop rebelling], you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her—but now murderers! Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: ‘Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.’
Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish. ‘You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.’”

“Republicans talk a big game on the campaign trail, but the last few months have made it clear that they have no intention of delivering on their promises.
The federal foray into healthcare has been a disaster.

“The judicial war on God and the Declaration of Independence
Daniel Horowitz | July 29, 2017
Foreign nationals who fervently adhere to sharia law have a First Amendment right to trespass on our soil [According to the Leftists on the federal courts. Not according to the Constitution.], but county governments have no right to offer a prayer to the God of the Bible [According to the Leftists on the federal courts. Not according to the Constitution.], the same one referenced in the Declaration of Independence [Referenced four times. According to the Leftists on the federal courts, that makes the Declaration of Independence unconstitutional because it is establishing a religion. It is a gross and inherently wrong interpretation of the First Amendment. See below.]. That is the rule we get from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals when we juxtapose the court’s ruling in the Trump immigration moratorium case with a recent case regarding prayer at county commissioner meetings in Rowan County, North Carolina.
[From the Declaration of Independence:
“ … When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them…. [From the very first sentence of the Declaration.]”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator [GOD. The GOD of the Bible. The only GOD of the cosmos.] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness [From the second sentence of the Declaration.].”
“We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world [GOD.] for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States [From the very first sentence of the last paragraph of the Declaration.]….”
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence [GOD.], we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor [From the very last sentence of the last paragraph of the Declaration.].”
Poor North Carolina just can’t get a break. It appears that the state’s original concerns about joining the federal union in 1788 have been proven correct. Over the past year, the Fourth Circuit has nullified the state’s voter integrity laws; federal, state, and even county-level political maps; and gender [sex] sanity laws [Leftist judicial tyranny run amok. Constitutionally the States are sovereign. The courts are not.]. Now the court has banished God from county government prayers [Leftist judicial tyranny run amok. Constitutionally the States are sovereign. The courts are not. When I was elected to the Marana School Board, we opened every meeting with a prayer to the GOD of the Bible. I was one of the three individuals who usually said the opening prayer. Absolutely NOTHING unconstitutional about it. If it was, I would not have participated.].
On July 14, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Rowan County, North Carolina, commissioners can’t begin their session with a public prayer delivered by an elected official. And the vote wasn’t even close. This once conservative panel [Has been taken over by Leftist judges appointed by Barack Hussein Obama.] voted 10-5 to banish God from the public square [Unconstitutional]. The opinion was written by Judge Harvie Wilkinson, a Reagan appointee, demonstrating the imbalance in the judiciary once again—that even the most radical opinions are often penned by GOP [Republican] appointees [As was the most radical and unconstitutional decision in court history. The Roe vs. Wade decision that sanctioned the MURDER of babies within the womb. Five of the seven lawyers who sanctioned said MURDERS were appointed by Republican Presidents.].
This case also demonstrates that the judiciary will always be a dead end and a one-way-street for conservatives [He is being too pessimistic. The judiciary CAN BE held accountable. It can be held accountable by Congress. Congress has ignored its constitutional responsibilities to hold the courts accountable.]. While conservative lower court judges always feel bound to ‘precedent [They should be bound by the Constitution. Precedent is not necessarily following the Constitution.],’ liberal [Leftist] lower [And higher court] court judges have no problem violating precedent and established practice [Absolutely true. They believe they can amend the Constitution by court decision and they do.]. Anyone who watches C-SPAN will see that the Senate begins its session every day with a prayer in the deep voice of Pastor Barry Black. Yet the Fourth Circuit somehow believes that a local government, which has even more leeway in matters of religion than the federal government does, can’t even cite the God referenced in our founding document. Our founding has been deemed unconstitutional [The Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional. Hold the courts responsible. That is the solution to the problem.].
Just three years ago, an opinion authored by Justice Kennedy (of all people!) clearly stated that sectarian prayers at local government gatherings are permissible so long as nobody is coerced to participate. In Town of Greece v. Galloway, Kennedy wrote for the majority that as long as the prayer ‘comports with our tradition and does not coerce participation by nonadherents,’ there is no room for judicial intervention. ‘To hold that invocations must be non-sectarian would force the legislatures sponsoring prayers and the courts deciding these cases to act as supervisors and censors of religious speech,’ Kennedy wrote in the 2014 case.
So how could lower court judges violate sacred precedent? In classic Fourth Circuit fashion, Judge Wilkinson agreed with the ACLU that this prayer is tantamount to coercion because it makes non-religious attendees feel like ‘outsiders’ and ‘the overall atmosphere was coercive, requiring them to participate so they ‘would not stand out [Notice once again the Left’s untenable reliance on feelings. Don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. How about the feelings of those who disagree? Doesn’t matter. It is only the feelings of Leftists that matter. I feel like I am a female so you MUST accept me as a female. It is ALL utter insanity. Why do we put up with such nonsense?].’’ Remember, this same judge signed on to an opinion earlier this year suggesting that almost all Muslim Americans (and non-citizen residents) have standing to bring suit against Trump’s immigration moratorium because the policy cultivates an anti-Islam bias in this country and makes them feel ‘anxious,’ ‘stigmatized,’ ‘stereotyped,’ and ‘like an outsider.’
Our history, traditions, and founding are unconstitutional
On September 25, 1789, the very same day the House of Representatives voted on the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights—to ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion,’—it passed a resolution requesting President Washington to declare a “day of public humiliation and prayer.’ This day of prayer and thanksgiving to God, in the words of the great Roger Sherman, was to replicate ‘the solemn thanksgivings and rejoicings which took place in the time of Solomon, after the building of the Temple,’ a ‘precedent in holy writ [Old Testament of the Bible.]’ he thought ‘worthy of Christian [New Testament of the Bible. The Founding Fathers were not hostile to Christianity. They embraced it. It is the Left that is hostile to Christianity because they know Christianity is the opposite of what they want to impose upon the American people. Karl Marx said it a long time ago. For the Left to be victorious, Christianity and the nuclear family have to be eradicated.] imitation on the present occasion.’
President Washington issued the proclamation on October 3 to be observed on November 26 that same year. What was the nature of this public day of prayer? To beseech God ‘to pardon our national and other transgressions’ and ‘to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion [Christianity] and virtue.’
As [Supreme Court Justice] Scalia noted in a speech shortly before he passed away [died], modern justices place their interpretation of abstract principles over ‘the lived experiences and customs’ of the American people. Referring to long-standing American traditions, Scalia admonished his fellow jurists to approach those issues with the mindset that a jurist ‘does not judge them; he is judged by them [And he and everyone else in the world is judged by them. There are going to be a whole lot of people who are going to eternally regret their actions and non-actions in this life when they go before the ALL MIGHTY, JUST GOD of the cosmos.].’
States have been crushed … except for the ability nullify federal laws
Amazingly, at the same time the courts crush states and denude them of their most basic powers and traditions, held since their acceptance into the federal union, the unelected judges are allowing states [to] nullify federal law. Judge Watson allowed Hawaii to demand that the federal government admit any cousin or distant relative of even non-citizen residents in the state or anyone who claims ties to a state university, despite the president’s statutory authority to bar their entry. Judges are allowing states to keep sanctuary cities and even blocking federal officials from enforcing immigration law. [Because they are NOT being held accountable. This judicial tyranny would end IF Congress would hold courts accountable. It is the constitutional responsibility of Congress to hold courts accountable. Congress has failed miserably to carry out their constitutional duties.] These are powers manifestly held by the federal government. And even John Roberts [Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a failed member of the court. He gave the fundamentally unconstitutional fifth vote to sanction Obamacare.] agreed with these wacky judges in an order last week. Yet when it comes to election law, the right to invoke God, define marriage, or regulate abortion [The murder of babies within the womb.], well, suddenly the states don’t exist.
One could not possibly conjure up a more perverse worldview than the one espoused today by the courts [It is the worldview of the Left.].
Liberal [Leftist] lower court judges always find ways to move precedent even further to the left, yet conservative judges always abide by precedent, even when the higher court violated the Constitution. This is exhibit number 1,324,987 why the judiciary is irremediably broken and why it needs wholesale reform [The federal courts need to be held accountable. The Constitution gives Congress the responsibility, mainly, to hold the courts accountable. Congress has failed to do what it has the constitutional responsibility to do.].
Rediscovering Americanism
Last time Republicans controlled all of government, when the courts began their war on God, even the Bush-era Republicans pretended to care about the judicial crisis. Yet now that the courts are more radical than anyone even feared back then, we hear nothing but crickets from the ‘conservative’ Congress [Because the current Republican Congress is not conservative. We need to get to work and get a conservative Congress. It can be accomplished. It is easier to do than to amend the Constitution through a Convention of States.].
Following the 2002 decision from the Ninth Circuit to remove ‘under God’ from the Pledge of Allegiance, the House of Representatives passed the Pledge Protection Act on two separate occasions. This bill exercised the Art. III Sec. II plenary power of Congress to regulate the jurisdiction of the federal courts and prohibited all federal courts from adjudicating any case over the constitutionality of the Pledge. The bill passed the House with bipartisan support in 2004 (247-173) and in 2006 (260-167). Although the bills never went anywhere in the liberal Senate, at least there was core bipartisan outrage over the social transformation and judicial tyranny. They passed similar bills stripping the courts of jurisdiction over marriage and abortion [murder of babies within the womb. We need more conservatives in the House and many more in the Senate. 2018 is the year to do it. The Democrats have 25 Senators up for reelection. We need to run conservative candidates in both Democrat and Republican primaries and win.].
In the same week in September 1789, when Congress called for a day of public prayer, it also passed the Judiciary Act of 1789, which created the entire structure and jurisdiction of the federal judiciary. No less a figure than John Marshall himself said (Durousseau v. United States, 1810) that implicit in this bill was the exercising of Article III, Section 2, which grants the judiciary only the jurisdiction provided to it by Congress and that this bill placed a ‘negative on the exercise of such appellate power as is not comprehended within it (the bill).’
Look how far we have fallen. Now we can’t even get the most conservative members to address marriage, God, abortion [murder of babies within the womb.], or judicial reform in a meaningful way. The courts are redefining human sexuality and our national borders, yet Congress won’t lift a finger to even conduct a hearing on judicial reform [Then, we need to replace the Leftists with conservatives. We the people have a responsibility in this too.].
In response to the concern that the courts would usurp power, James Madison wrote to Spencer Roane in 1821, ‘It is not probable that the Supreme Court would long be indulged in a career of usurpation … Nor do I think that Congress, even seconded by the Judicial Power, can, without some change in the character of the nation, succeed in durable violations of the rights & authorities of the States.’
The operative phrase is ‘change in the character of the nation.’ We have a nation that no longer knows its own heritage, laws, history, and traditions [Then we need to educate the people.]. This is how the judiciary can completely rewrite our legacy without anyone blinking an eye.
This, at its core, is what CR [Conservative Review] Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin is seeking to restore with his new book, Rediscovering Americanism. A nation that doesn’t even understand the values of the Declaration of Independence is bound to repudiate its most sacred tenets . There is a lot of political ‘fighting’ unfolding in our era, but even most of those who purport to fight for ‘our side’ don’t even know what they are fighting for. Rediscovering Americanism is probably the most effective and concise tutorial in natural rights and natural law that can be understood even by the diminished intellect [ouch.] of the governing class. Until they pick up a copy of the book and understand our heritage, the source of our inalienable rights will continue to be extirpated from our body politic by an unelected lawyerly elite.’
We need to vote issues rather than Party. Vote issues in the primaries. Vote issues in the general election. I’ve been saying since the 2010 election that conservatives should run conservative candidates in every Republican Primary AND run conservative candidates in every Democrat primary. The Left has taken over the Democrat Party but there are still plenty of conservative Democrats who HAVE BEEN ABANDONED by the Left including Christians who have been life-long Democrats, all white heterosexual males, conservative women and Blacks, conservative small business owners, and conservative legal immigrants.
Who won the election for Donald Trump? Pro-lifers and conservative Democrats who fled from Hillary Rodham Clinton and her pro-murder, pro-homosexuality, pro-illegal alien, anti-small business polices. The election was not a pro-Donald Trump election. The election was an anti-Leftist election. The Left has lost the Presidency, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and over a thousand State and local government offices since the passage of Obamacare. It was not because the Republicans were so much more conservative. It was because they were not as radical as the Left. Why would they now want to adopt Leftist policies?
It is past time for conservatives to get actively involved in retaking control or taking control for the first time of the Republican Party. Texas is moving in that direction. The largest remaining obstacle is a RINO Speaker of the House who was elected by a combination of Democrats and some Republicans. Originally, many more Democrats than Republicans. Since the Left has all but destroyed the Democrat Party in many States including downstate Illinois, conservatives need to take over the Democrat Party as well. Run conservatives in both Republican and Democrat primaries. If the Democrat candidate is more conservative than the Republican candidate, vote the Democrat in. Vote issues rather than Party and make EVERY election a competitive election. In competition with the Left, conservatives will win.
