“March for Our Lives, March for Life, Mainstream Media Hypocrisy, Leftist Hypocrisy, and Students as ‘Useful Idiots?’”
Men fight for the good so they don’t have to fight against the evil.
Or as GOD says in Proverbs 14: 34 (NIV)
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.”
Mathew 15: 17-20 (NIV)
[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.

“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.].

Three months after the 45th year of the illegal, unconstitutional Roe vs. Wade decision, 246,575 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 AMERICAN HOLOCAUST continues 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. Establishment Republicans continually CAPITULATE to the Leftist MURDERERS.

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.
Sign the petition to the Health and Human Services Secretary to help put an end to taxpayer funding of Planned Murderhood.

No organization that murders babies within the womb and/or supports and promotes the same should ever receive federal government money either directly or indirectly.
The latest released video exposing Planned Murderhood and the murder of babies within the womb industry:

I have been asking these questions for a good while. The correct answers are given below.
A brief quiz on the Constitution:
1) What Article, Section, Paragraph within the United States Constitution gives the federal courts the power to interpret the Constitution of the United States?
There is no provision within the Constitution that gives the federal courts the power to interpret the Constitution of the United States.
2) What are the constitutional qualifications for individuals appointed to the federal courts?
Appointed by the President and approved by the Senate by a simple majority vote. There are no other specific qualifications. They do not have to be lawyers. Technically, there is not even a citizenship requirement.
3) What is the constitutional term of office for individuals appointed to the federal courts?
Good behavior. As stated in this post: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2017/09/constitution-day-federal-courts.html there is no “life time” appointment. The correct answer is good behavior.
Restore the Constitution
Take Back the Nation
I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative
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.’”

“Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] says it needs hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding to help pregnant women. Yet when moms need prenatal care, ultrasounds, and adoption services, Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] turns them away and tells them to ‘Google it.’ How is the abortion [murder of babies within the womb] giant using our tax dollars [Over half a billion dollars of federal money in the last fiscal year and funded by a Republican Congress through the 2016-2017 fiscal year that ended September 30, 2017.]?”

Update: The Senate had a vote on the proposed bill to abolish the murder of babies within the womb if the babies can feel pain. A previous post on this particular bill is here: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2018/01/congress-pro-life-bills-pain-capable.html
Tuesday’s post on banning the murder of babies within the womb after 20 weeks: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2018/01/abortion-senate-vote-senator-joe.html
“Abortion, Senate Vote, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and More Conservatives Needed.”
Murdering babies within the womb is absolutely immoral and is sin personified. Murdering babies within the womb makes the mother a murderer of her own child—infanticide. Financing the very organizations that support and promote the murder of babies within the womb is absolutely immoral and is sin. Those who voted to continue financing Planned Murderhood and the Presidents who signed such financing into law WILL be held accountable. If not by the voters, by GOD. It is past time to repent and to DEFUND Planned Murderhood.
GOD knows the EVIL we as a nation have done and the EVIL we continue to condone. It is past time to REPENT. It is past time to ABOLISH the murder of babies within the womb. Forty-five years of murdering babies within the womb is forty-five years too long. We will ALL be held accountable for our actions and for our inactions.
Boycott Target UPDATE:
The purpose of the Target boycott is to help Target change its current policy of allowing men into the facilities of women and allowing women into the facilities of men by hurting its bottom line. A classic “follow the money” approach. Is it working? Your decision:

August is back to school month which is normally the second busiest season for retailers like Target. Yet, while the Dow Jones was up 3.99%, Target was only up 1.14%. The boycott stills seems to be having the desired effect.
Dow Jones was up 3.58% in just over a month. Target was only up 1.75%. Target is still lagging behind the larger market as measured by the Dow. The boycott stills seems to be having the desired effect.
Target from 57.13 on 10/6/17 to 59.50 on 12/1/17 up 4.15% with the Dow up 6.4% over the same period. Target is still lagging behind the larger market as measured by the Dow. The boycott stills seems to be having the desired effect.

It is past time to hold federal judges accountable. Impeachment is a method provided within the Constitution to hold federal judges accountable.

Update: Arizona Special Election for Congressional District 8 was won by Republican candidate Debbie Lesko. The Leftist candidate Hiral Tipirneni has declared that she will run in the general election which is normal in House special elections.
Over the last hours of the election, I received twelve e-mails from the Tipirneni Campaign and other supporters asking for money. I have never contributed to a Leftist but I’ve gotten on their mailing lists and I am being bombarded with requests for money. Keep spending. You are helping the economy in conservative Arizona.

Update: There is another “frightening” budget deadline approaching at the end of this week [Came and gone.]. I don’t plan on writing about it unless something drastic pops up. We have played this song and dance many times before. Even though the Republican Party is now the majority party, it does not seem to matter. The question is NOT will the Republican Party capitulate? The question is how much will the Republican Party give away to the Left in their capitulation? The list of what the Capitulation Party has surrendered is long and damaging to the nation.
The question is how much will the Republican Party give away to the Left in their capitulation?
The answer is absolutely everything. We have been utterly betrayed by the cowardly, Establishment Republicans. They couldn’t even, wouldn’t even defund Planned Murderhood which is personally responsible for the murder of a third of a million babies within the womb a year. Murderers given OUR tax money by a so-called Republican Congress and a so-called Republican President who signed this unread bill into law. Establishment Republicans are just as much liars as the Left. They need to be replaced just as members of the Left need to be replaced.

The federal government does not have a revenue problem. The federal government has a spending problem. Saturday March 14, 2018, I posted one outstanding example of the lavish spending in which the federal government is engaged.
Here is that post: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-national-debt-federal-bureaucracy.html
“The National Debt, the Federal Bureaucracy, Congress, and the Programs that Are Necessary for the Good of the Nation?”
Your federal tax dollars hard at work for the good of the nation. No such thing, in the last approved budget. Meanwhile, the national debt keeps growing as Congress keeps spending more and more money for the good of the nation.
It seems that it was not only the Obama Administration that manipulated the amount of the National Debt. The day that Congress approved a new budget and increased the debt ceiling the National Debt was $20,494,637,976,880.62. The next day the National Debt increased to $20,669,079,408,408.12. An increase of almost 175 billion dollars in one day.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/abolish-federal-department-education-1
Abolish the Federal Department of Education.
The Federal Department of Education should be abolished because it is costly and ineffective, it is unjust and unethical, it is too political, and it is unconstitutional [And it was used by the Obama Administration to try to force transsexual nonsense upon all schools in the nation. The height of arrogance and immorality.] We, the undersigners, call upon President Donald Trump to keep his campaign promise to close the Federal Department of Education and end all Common Core aligned standards and testing.
Elimination of federal intervention can be achieved in 5 steps:
1) Send all program management and funding to the states.
2) Repeal all laws permitting federal intervention in education starting with ESSA [Every Student Succeeds Act].
3) Privatize college loan programs.
4) Eliminate all offices and divisions in US Dept. of Education and related spending.
5) Reduce federal tax collection, shift revenue control back to states.

https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/vladimir_lenin_153238
“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” ~ Vladimir Lenin
All Lenin said he needed was four years. In contrast, we are giving Leftists as many as seventeen years and more. It is much easier for the Left to control education through one federal Department of Education than it is to control education in fifty separate, sovereign States.
An attack on education at the federal level by the radical Left:
“Stop the New Homosexual Classrooms Act (H.R. 1957/S. 2572)
Whereas: Schools should be institutions of learning, dedicated to the unbiased and unpoliticized pursuit of knowledge equally for all students; and
Whereas: The misnamed ‘Safe Schools Improvement Act’ actually DOES discriminate by creating special protected classes of students, while outlawing Christian beliefs held by teachers, students and parents; and
Whereas: The ‘Safe Schools Improvement Act’ will brainwash young children into supporting the radical Homosexual Agenda and the homosexual lifestyle as healthy and normal; and
Whereas: Government should have NO AUTHORITY to force the Homosexual Agenda on the American people, much less their children;
Therefore: As your constituent and a concerned pro-Family voter, I strongly insist you oppose the so-called ‘Safe Schools Improvement Act,’ and make every attempt to see it defeated.”
The petition: http://www.traditionalvalues.us/HC2018-S.aspx?pid=0417a
The federal government should not even be involved in education. Education is not a power granted to the federal government by the Constitution. The Obama Administration proved that it is a disaster to have the federal government involved in education. Congress needs to end the Department of Education and ALL programs involving education. Oh, and we will save taxpayer dollars as well. An added bonus considering the federal government is over $21 TRILLION in direct current debt.
I have been following the case of Alfie Evans in England from the time Lifenews started reporting on it. I’ve been reluctant to write about it because, quite frankly, socialist governments almost always win out in the end. In socialism whether so-called socialist democracies or in flat out tyrannical socialist governments, the government is supreme over the citizen.
Alfie Evans has died. He was almost 2 years before the government murdered him.

This was my April 28 post: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2018/04/socialism-government-individual-citizen.html
I have received NOTHING about Alfie from my Leftist e-mails. That does not surprise me.
The government is supreme in socialism. When it is the parents or the ordinary citizen vs. the government, the government almost always inevitably wins under socialist tyranny. It does not matter if the imposed socialism is a “democratically elected” socialist government or a forced tyrannical socialist government. The government is supreme for the “common good” as DEFINED by the government.
What happened in England with Alfie Evans happens when societies try to and essentially succeed in removing GOD from the society. A GODLESS society is a soulless, corrupt, condemned, evil society.

Yesterday, I posted about the high school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas here: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2018/05/santa-fe-texas-high-school-shooting.html
Basically, the Left went into their normal routine after a school shooting blaming the National Rifle Association, Republicans, and anyone else who didn’t immediately call for and demand more gun control. This morning, the Left’s reaction to Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick’s comments on building design and more.
For those who do not read this blog regularly, I attended public schools for 12 years, kindergarten started for the first time the same year I began first grade, in Morton, Illinois and then attended Illinois State University for five years graduating with a Master’s degree in 1970. I taught school in two Illinois high schools for a total of ten years and was a school board member in Arizona from 1983-1986. Consequently, I have some experience with public education.
I have lived in Illinois, Arizona, Illinois, Texas, and now in Illinois for a third time. Illinois being a deep blue State, at the moment, does not allow teachers and staff to conceal carry. I don’ t know a lot about Illinois schools anymore. I do know that after school begins, Morton High School has a controlled entrance into the building. One gets buzzed in at the main entrance which leads to the main school office. Voting use to occur at the high school. It no longer does. Now in Morton, most voting occurs at churches. Two precincts vote at the church where I vote.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieutenant_Governor_of_Texas
“The Lieutenant Governor of Texas is the second-highest executive office in the government of Texas, a state in the U.S. It is the second most powerful post in Texas government because its occupant controls the work of the Texas Senate and controls the budgeting process as a leader of the Legislative Budget Board [Some political experts believe it is MORE powerful than the Governor post.].
Under the provisions of the Texas Constitution, the Lieutenant Governor is President of the Texas Senate. Unlike with most other states’ senates and the U.S. Senate, the Lieutenant Governor regularly exercises this function rather than delegating it to the president pro tempore or a Majority Leader. By the rules of the Senate, the Lieutenant Governor establishes all special and standing committees, appoints all chairpersons and members, and assigns all Senate legislation to the committee of his choice. The Lieutenant Governor decides all questions of parliamentary procedure in the Senate. He or she also has broad discretion in following Senate procedural rules.
The Lieutenant Governor is an ex officio member of several statutory bodies. These include the Legislative Budget Board, the Legislative Council, the Legislative Audit Committee, the Legislative Board and Legislative Council, which have considerable sway over state programs, the budget and policy. The Lieutenant Governor is also a member of the Legislative Redistricting Board (together with the Speaker of the House, Attorney General, Comptroller, and Land Commissioner), which is charged with adopting a redistricting plan for the Texas House of Representatives, Texas Senate, or U.S. House of Representatives after the decennial census if the Legislature fails to do so [If one attacks the Texas Lieutenant Governor one is attacking a powerful government official in the second largest State, both by population and geographic size, and the second largest State economy in the United States.].”
“The Lieutenant Governor assumes the powers of the Governor of Texas when the governor is out of the state or otherwise unable to discharge the office. The Lieutenant Governor is elected separately from the Governor, rather than on the same ticket; it is therefore possible for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to be from different political parties (which was the case during Governor George W. Bush’s first term and also during Bill Clements’s two non-consecutive terms). The Lieutenant Governor becomes Governor if the elected Governor resigns, dies or is removed from office via impeachment and conviction.”

“Sorry Internet, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick Was Exactly Right About Fewer School Entrances
streiff | May 19, 2018
The internet, particularly Twitter, is not plagued by an over abundance of intelligence in the best of times [Ouch.]. When you throw what would be colloquially known as mouth-breathers into a politically volatile mix, then you get a perfect storm of stupidity mixed with politics and more stupidity resulting in a virtual Sharknado of negative intelligence. This happened on Friday after the shooting in Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas.
This high school has multiple entrances. This prevented any type of positive access controls and allowed the shooter to walk into the building [Who is also a student which would mean there was absolutely no reason to question him about entering the school.]. This is what Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick had to say:
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick blamed Friday’s massacre at a high school near Houston in part [Note the in part provision.] on ‘too many entrances and too many exits’ on the campus, prompting some to mock his perspective as ‘door control.’
‘From what we know, this student walked in … with a long coat and a shotgun under his coat [From what I read, the coat was standard so no reason to question the coat even though it was hot in Texas.],’ said Patrick, a Republican who has an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association. ‘It’s 90 degrees. Had there been one single entrance possibly for every student, maybe he would have been stopped [Possible. It is not exactly easy to carry a shotgun unnoticed even with a coat covering it.].’

2:49 PM - May 18, 2018
This is weapons grade [Slang deleted.]. Controlling access and egress is a very basic security precaution [Exactly. See below.]. I work in a building with 1200 employees. How many entrances do we have? Two. Just two. Those are positively controlled with card readers, turnstiles, metal detectors and armed guards [That is control.]. We probably have a dozen exits, but the doors don’t have exterior handles and alarms ring when they are opened [Can’t sneak out for a smoke?]. Every employee and visitor is identified, if appropriate, they are searched. But if an emergency situation happens there are more than ample ways out of the building.
[When I was a tax consultant in Tucson, I had a client who worked for a national defense firm. I would return his completed tax return to him at his place of business. It has been 14 years since I’ve been there so my memory is not exact but this is close enough.
The building was on the outskirts of Tucson. There was a horseshoe driveway with entrance on the left and exit on the right. There was a guard and dropdown “gate” about 1/3 of the way up the driveway. At the gate, the guard asked the purpose for being at the building and for ID. The building itself had a single entrance and exit in the front of the building. I never saw the back or sides of the building. Entering, there was a huge lobby with one desk and one “secretary” behind the desk asking for the purpose for being at the building. I don’t remember if there was a guard or not. The far interior of the lobby had a glass wall running from the floor to the ceiling. The only thing visible behind the wall was a stairway going to the second floor. The “secretary” would call my client and tell him I was present. There were couches lining one of the exterior walls. In less than five minutes my client would come down the stairway and enter the lobby through a glass door. Don’t remember how it opened and closed. There were no door knobs and the first time I was there I didn’t realize it was a door until he was right on top of it. I’d give him his return, he’d give me my check, we would shake hands and he would proceed back through the glass door and up the stairway. In about 10-12 years of doing this, I never saw another person in the lobby or behind the glass wall. Security.]
That is what Lieutenant Governor Patrick was talking about. This is not rocket science [True.]. This is a basic tenet of modern school construction (my daughter’s middle school has exactly one entrance). It is only mysterious to politically obsessed [Slang deleted.].
J.R. Salzman @jrsalzman
For those of you acting outraged, he’s talking about secure entrances. My kid’s school only has one entrance to get in and you have to be buzzed in by the front desk. That’s what he’s talking about.

“Texas Lieutenant Governor Said Parents And Students Told Him To ‘Arm Our Teachers’ After Shooting
Mike Brest | 05/18/2018
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said Friday on Fox News’ ‘The Ingraham Angle’ that students and parents told him after the Santa Fe shooting that they should begin arming teachers [Concealed carry. It is legal in Texas for teacher and staff to conceal carry if approved by the school board. As a former student, teacher, and school board member; I am all for teachers and staff conceal carrying in schools. It is a great deterrent. Bad guys don’t like getting shot anymore than good guys do. If they know one place is concealed carry and one is not, they would likely select the one which is not. If not, we shoot back too. It is common sense. Common sense is what the Leftists always talks about but NEVER demonstrate.].
Patrick said, ‘I was there with Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott earlier this evening and there were a lot of student friends in (the hospital visiting those who were injured). And they all said ‘we want to arm our teachers.’ The parents all said ‘we want to arm our teachers.'” (RELATED: Gov. Abbott: Texas School Shooter Illegally Possessed Weapons)

12:20 PM - May 18, 2018
‘Governor Abbott is going to put together round tables, we’ll begin meeting next week with people from all points of view, from educators to those pro-gun and anti-gun. Everything we can do to see how we can stop this from happening again’ Patrick said, before adding, ‘every parent out there, if you have a gun legally, as I do, lock them up and keep them away.’
He went on to share that a former Marine and current substitute teacher was in the classroom next to the art room where the shooter began his rampage. The teacher heard the noises, went into the hallway and saw the shooter. He then locked the doors and protected his students, but he was not armed [What a different result that might have occurred if he had been armed. How many lives might have been saved?].
(RELATED: Suspect In Texas Shooting Posted Disturbing Images Of Guns, Knives, ‘Born To Kill’ Shirt Online)
‘For those who say guns are the issue—and we want the best background checks we can have—but the answer is not taking away guns from people who can defend themselves and others [Absolutely correct.],’ Patrick said in response to the outpouring of support for more gun control [From whom? The usual suspects?].
Patrick also shared that teachers in the state of Texas are legally allowed to carry firearms, but it is up to specific school districts to enforce whether or not teachers have that right.”
Guns ARE NOT the problem. Evil individuals are the problem. No one will end evil by gun control or taking away guns from law abiding citizens. Outlaws don’t obey gun laws. Evil people can and will murder without using guns. Gun owners have a right to self defense and they have a right to prevent governments from becoming tyrannical.
By the way, Texas is notorious, as far as Leftists are concerned, for using capital punishment as a deterrent. However, the accused murderer is 17. According to a supreme court ruling, people under 18 can not be executed for capital crimes. Even if convicted for these 10 murders, the most he can receive is life in prison without parole. Do you think he knew this? Isn’t it strange, the supreme court has ruled that a 17 year old is too young to receive the death penalty and yet has also ruled that an 11 year old girl is old enough to decide without parental say to murder her own baby within her womb giving that baby a death sentence although completely innocent. The logic of the Left.
https://crimeresearch.org/2018/03/states-allow-teachers-staff-carry-guns/
Texas (with the school’s permission) — Texas Association of School Boards says 172 school districts in Texas allow staff and board members to carry firearms onto school premises.
As far as I know, Santa Fe School District is not one of the 172 school districts.
I hope the Left will campaign on gun control. If they do, they will lose in most of the United States. We need less Leftists in Congress and many more conservatives.
I graduated from high school in 1965. I can not recall a single mass school shooting in that time. I do recall very well the assignation of President Kennedy my junior year. Not exactly a school shooting. After five years of college and a Master’s Degree, I taught in two different high schools in Illinois for ten years. Can’t recall a single mass shooting in high schools during that time. I was a school board member in Arizona from 1983-1986, I can’t recall a single mass shooting during that time. I do recall one serious shooting that occurred on a university campus. It was considered an aberration not a trend.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Whitman
“Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 – August 1, 1966) was an American mass murderer who became infamous as the ‘Texas Tower Sniper.’ On August 1, 1966, he used knives in the slayings of his mother and his wife in their respective homes and then went to the University of Texas in Austin with multiple firearms and began shooting people. He fatally shot three people inside the university tower. He then went to the tower's 28th-floor observation deck, where he fired at random people for some 96 minutes, killing an additional 11 people and wounding 31 others before he was shot dead by Austin police officers Ramiro Martinez and Houston McCoy. A total of 16 people were killed; a 17th victim died 35 years later from injuries sustained in the attack.”
During those years, the NRA was active and involved. The Second Amendment was still in the Constitution. Guns were owned and used by many adults and minors. And yet, no mass murders at schools. Why not? What was different back then compared to now? Why are the NRA and Republican politicians now the evil villains? Why are they responsible for the actions of evil people? Why aren’t evil people responsible for their own evil actions?
Mass shootings are NOT a gun problem, a gun control problem, or a mental health problem. Mass shootings are a sin problem and need to be dealt with accordingly.

JW [Judicial Watch] 60 Seconds [Time of video.]: The [Hillary] Clinton/[Russian] Uranium Connection

“Judicial Watch announced that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State for all records of communications relating to Uranium One (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00722)). The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on March 29.
This lawsuit is part of Judicial Watch’s continuing investigation of the highly controversial 2010 Uranium One deal. At the time, a Russia state-owned nuclear firm, Rosatom, sought to buy Uranium One, a Canadian mining company. Because Uranium One held licenses for 20 percent of America’s uranium production capacity, the sale had to be approved by the nine members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who assented to the transaction. Uranium One interests contributed more than $140 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Reminder: Babylon Bee is satire. It is not “fake” news.
http://babylonbee.com/news/cnn-report-evil-trump-kidnaps-three-people-from-north-korean-paradise/
“ATLANTA, GA—An exclusive new CNN report revealed Thursday that President Trump has kidnapped three people from the paradise of North Korea, forcing them to get on a plane and return to the United States against their wishes.
A teary-eyed CNN anchor broke the story, visibly enraged at the egregious act of international terrorism. CNN reporters had discovered that the three visitors had been in North Korea enjoying a vacation for many months before Trump unilaterally decided to have them forcibly flown back to America, even aggressively accosting them when they landed.
‘This heartbreaking story shows just how low President Trump will go,’ the anchor said, his voice quavering. “How much longer will this country allow this madman to go on trampling the name of the United States on the world stage? This is an unprecedented act, for a sitting president to personally kidnap perfectly happy visitors to the communist wonderland of North Korea.’
‘The time for impeachment is now!’ he added, beginning to chant, ‘Impeach Trump! Impeach Trump!’
At publishing time, sources at CNN had been able to confirm that Trump is planning on flying to a meeting with Kim Jong Un, where the two will discuss how to most efficiently destroy and enslave the world.”
Babylon Bee perfectly understands the Left in this instance.

For Republican Senator Mitch McConnell’s edification, the Bible’s statement about judging others.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7:1-3&version=NIV
Matthew 7: 1-3 (NIV)
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
‘Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?’”
Question for Mitch McConnell. Since you judged Judge Roy Moore guilty by accusation and demanded that he immediately withdraw from the Alabama Senate race, are you going to resign from the Senate based upon this current accusation/allegation against you? I didn’t think so.
A major problem in our country at every level is holding those in power accountable. A Democratic Republic does not work if the powers that be ARE NOT held accountable. Decisions have consequences.

Ephesians 6: 10-17 (NIV)
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
1) belt of truth.
2) breastplate of righteousness.
3) feet fitted gospel of peace.
4) shield of faith.
5) helmet of salvation.
6) sword of the Spirit. [Our weapon is the HOLY SPIRIT. Is there a more powerful weapon, if used righteously?]

“Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.”
At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.”
Matthew 5: 10-12 (NIV)
“‘Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.’”

Supposedly, Joel Osteen said his church would not be available during the current Houston flooding challenge. The Nashville Statement confirms the long standing Christian acknowledgment that homosexual behavior is sinful behavior.
The Left hates anyone and anything that disagrees with them and their agenda.

“At the Orgy of Self-Righteousness.
George Neumayr | August 18, 2017”
“One wonders what entitles this generation to speak so confidently about past evils given its inability to recognize present ones. Modern America is awash in the blood of millions of aborted [murdered] children—a monstrous evil we’re told is as central to the modern lifestyle as slavery was to the ancient one [Make no mistake about it. Murdering one’s own children is far more evil than slavery. And yes, slavery is evil.]”
The best, most constitutional way to accomplish abolishing abortion is to do the following:
1) Congress by law affirms that human life begins at conception/fertilization.
http://nationalprolifealliance.com/rlacaa_petition.aspx?npla=EH17&pid=0820c
2) Congress by law affirms that human life is protected by both Amendments Five and Fourteen from the beginning of life at conception to the end of life through natural causes.
3) Congress by law affirms that the taking of a human life within the womb is a criminal offense and establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses. Congress by law affirms that any local official and/or State official who tries to hinder and/or does not apply these laws properly has committed a criminal offense. Congress by law establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses.
4) Congress by law affirms that any and all previous court case rulings in contradiction to these specific laws passed by Congress are null and void.
5) Congress by law removes the courts from any ability to alter and/or invalidate any provisions of these specific laws passed by Congress.
Rules of Life:
1) Actions have consequences and may have a lasting impact on the rest of your life.
2) There is no reset, undo, or edit button in life.
3) You are the ONLY person responsible for your actions.
4) You are free to choose whatever action you want to take, but you are NOT free from the consequences of that action.
5) Doing nothing is an action.
Or, as GOD said in James 4: 17 (NIV)
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
Matthew 12: 35-37 (NIV)
“‘A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned [We are all held accountable by GOD.].’”
