For Christian American readers of this blog:
I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.
The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!
A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:
"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."
Thanks Jack!
I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Clinton justice and dead testifiers this year ... Thx Sarah R!
Clinton justice e and dead testifiers this year ... thug Sarah R!
Looks like the "Clinton Machine" is raising the intimidation factor a few notches again.
obama calls Don't Thread on me flag racist ... Thx Sarah R!
NAVY JUST TOLD OBAMA TO **** IT?
You might have heard what happened regarding the Gadsen Flag this week.
The famous flag from the Revolutionary War which reads “Don’t Tread on Me,” has been branded by the Obama administration as a symbol of racism.
Even though the flag directly relates to a sincere resistance to an overbearing government, the liberals have said it directly ties in with the ancient practice of slavery.
With that declaration, they’ve effectively painted everyone who thinks the Gadsen flag is worth flying as a racist.
But here’s the thing.
Most Americans don’t believe the Gadsen flag is racist. In fact, the US Navy stands by the rich heritage of the Gadsen flag and its representation of Freedom they told Obama to suck it.
From Federalist Papers:As you’ll recall, Barack Obama’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission made waves when it suggested that the Gadsden Flag – the yellow banner with the coiled snake about to strike and the words” Don’t Tread On Me” (DTOM) below – might be racist.As of October 1, any sailor who is wearing the “NWU Type III” uniform can wear the Gadsden Flag patch. Seals and other special units may also wear the patch, WeAreTheMighty.com is reporting.“During garrison and non-tactical exercises or operations, the non-tactical DTOM and Reverse Flag patches may be optionally worn at the discretion of the unit commanding officer and at the expense of the Sailor,” the Navy announced in Navy Administrations Message 174/16. “During tactical deployment exercises and operations, a tactical DTOM and Reverse Flag patch may be worn at the discretion of the unit commander and approval from the Task Force or Joint Task Force Commander.”
You gotta love how Obama and his minions are getting rebuffed by the Navy. And don’t misunderstand the importance of this either. The U.S, military under Obama has taken some huge and disheartening steps to undermine conservative values.
But it looks like the people who are in the chain of command know better than to allow the twisted people working for Obama to meddle with military tradition.
One can only hope the Navy’s stand for the Gadesn flag spills over into the other branches of the military.
Unemployment 5.6%, Out of Work 23% ... Abbott & Costello ... Thx Keith B and Sarah R!
This is a must read. It involves the most basic of economic concepts-you will love this
Absolutely Brilliant ! ! !
COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .
ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 5.6%. COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.
ABBOTT: 5.6% Unemployed.
COSTELLO: Right 5.6% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 23% unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that's 5.6%.
COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?
ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed. 23% are out of work.
COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!
ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.
COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.
COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work. ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work.
Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%. COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Democrat. COSTELLO: I don't even know what the heck I just said! ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like Hillary.
What is happening to America ... Thx Paul C!
Well....., what the hell is happening to us????? ~~~
Democrats and
Republicans """""('different' ONLY in name)"""""
We read
all the jokes and forward the good ones but I just wonder who will pass this one on.
How about you sending it on, and
back to me, if you have enough 'chutzpah' to do so.
I do
And I wonder just how many I will get back?
Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with
All the people that run this
country!!!!!!
Both Democrats and
Republicans
Say,
"We're broke"
And can't
help our own
Seniors,
Veterans,
Orphans,
Homeless,
Etc.,?????
But,
over the last several years THEY have provided direct cash aid to....
Hamas - $351 M,
Libya- $1.45 B,
Egypt- $397 M,
Mexico- $622 M,
Russia- $380 M,
Haiti- $1.4 B,
Jordan- $463 M,
Kenya- $816 M,
Sudan- $870 M,
Nigeria- $456 M,
Uganda- $451 M,
Congo- $359 M,
Ethiopia- $981 M,
Pakistan- $2 B,
South Africa- $566 M,
Senegal- $698 M,
Mozambique- $404 M,
Zambia- $331 M,
Kazakhstan- $304 M,
Iraq- $1.08 B,
Tanzania- $554 M,
...with literally Billions of Dollars
and those assholes still hate us!!!!
But on the other hand,
Our retired seniors,
Living on a 'fixed income,'
Receive NO aid!
Nor do they get any breaks, while our government
And religious organizations will pour
Hundreds of Billions Of
$$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!
Someone needs to
explain to them that Charity begins AT HOME!!!
And another atrocity....
We have Hundreds of adoptable
American Children who are shoved aside
To make room for
The adoption of
Foreign Orphans.
AMERICA: A
country where we have Countless Homeless without shelter, Children going to bed hungry, Elderly going without needed medication and the Mentally ill without treatment -- etc.
YET..........
They will have a 'Benefit' Show
For the people of Haiti , on 12 TV Stations; Ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents
clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Now Just Imagine if
Our own *GOVERNMENT*
Gave 'US' the same supportthey give to foreigncountries.
One of the things at the top of Trump's list. They're scared silly of him and worried their gravy train will be gone if they allow him to be elected! I'm not a fan of his mouth, but his opponent is already part of the problem and hasn't done anything about it, and Won't.
Sad, isn't it?
99% of people won't have the 'chutzpah' to forward this.
WELL, I'm one of the 1% who Just Did.
--Shame on you if this does not make you VERY angry.

Ohio RNC to We the People ... thx Paul C!
Here is something you need to be aware of.PRESS RELEASERNC TAKES VICTORY CENTERS AWAY FROM ORP (Ohio Republican Party) - TURNS THEM OVER TO TRUMP CAMPAIGNAkron, OH: The We the People Convention disclosed today that it had recieved confirmation from sources within the Republican National Committee that this past week the RNC has taken the extrodinary step of taking away control of the Ohio Republican Party "Victory Centers" from the Ohio Republican Party and turned control of them over to the Ohio Trump Campaign team. This drastic action was necessary due to the behind the scenes actions of Ohio Governor John Kasich to stop the "Ohio Republican Party" from supporting the Republican nominnee Donald J. Trump who soundly defeated Kasich for the Republican Presidential nomination. Ohio is the only state in the nation in which this unprecedented action has been taken.Tom Zawistowski, President of the We the People Convention, pointed out that "It was clear that the ORP was not supporting Trump in the Victory Centers up to this point, even though they were taking RNC money that was raised by Trump to fund the Victory Centers. Then we started hearing about ORP Central Committee members in Toledo actually collecting signatures to get Libertarian Gary Johnson on the Ballot in Ohio to further damage Trumps chances of winning Ohio. This is nothing but another example of the Kasich machine betraying the will of the people for Kasich's selfish interest to run again in 2020. Kasich is nothing but an unprincipled sore loser. We applaud the RNC for stepping in and showing Kasich and ORP Chairman - Matt Borges the door for their total betrayal of the Republican Party and Republican voters in Ohio. We call upon all members of the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee to vote at their next meeting to remove Borges as Chairman for his actions. We also call on all County Republican Party Chairmen and central committee members, and all true Republicans, to support the Trump campaign and volunteer to work in the new Victory Centers being run by the Trump campaign."Zawistowski concluded by saying "We find it rich that the same establishment hacks who would tell the TEA Party that we had to support the nominee, even if the nominee was not our choice, are now throwing a tantrum and are unwilling to support the Republican nominee because Trump is not their choice. Anyone who wants Trump to win in November should NOT give money to the "Ohio Republican Party" because there is no Ohio Republican Party - there is only the Kasich election machine. Trump supporters should donate directly to the Trump Campaign at www.donaldjtrump.com or to the NRA where your money will actually help fund the NRA's efforts in this elections at www.nraila.org/donate."Please share this with others in your circle of influence that you believe would want to know about this. Any questions please contact me at www.citizensinformed or call me at my home -Barbara BurkardCentral Committee member - Precinct 233
Freedom, the Eagle and Jeff ... Thx Paul C!
This is the kind of story you need when it seems like the world is spiraling out of control.
Not many people get a picture of this proud bird snuggled up next to them!
Freedom and Jeff
Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer.
She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings.
Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,
it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby.
When Freedom came in, she could not stand and both wings were broken.
She was emaciated and covered in lice.
We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office.
From then on, I was always around her.
We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded
up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in.
I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight;
and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes.
We also had to tube feed her for weeks.
This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand.
It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize
her if she couldn't stand in a week.
You know you don't want to cross that line between
torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning.
She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was
supposed to come in on that Thursdayafternoon.
I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday,
because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized;
but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear.
I went immediately back to her cage;
and there she was, standing on her own,
a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live.
I was just about in tears by then.

a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live.
I was just about in tears by then.
That was a very good day. We knew she could never fly,
so the director asked me to glove train her.
I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses,
and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington.
We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV.
Miracle Pets even did a show about us.
In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere),
so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo.
Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot of work.
When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey
and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me
in my dreams and help me fight the cancer.
This happened time and time again.
Fast forward to November 2000. The day after Thanksgiving,
I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer
was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo,
then my last option was a stem cell transplant.
Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back
Monday for the results. I went in Monday,
and I was told that all the cancer was gone.
So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk.
It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up,
and we went out front to the top of the hill.
I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew.
She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me
to where I could feel them pressing in on my back
(I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak
and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long.

That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever
since she came in. This is a very special bird.
On a side note: I have had people who were sick come
up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them.
I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her.
His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel
her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that.
I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom!!
Hope you enjoyed this!
A SMALL REQUEST....
93% won't forward, but I'm Sure You Will.
A small request.....Just one line All you are asked to do is keep this circulating.
Even if it's only to one more person.
In memory of anyone you know who has been struck down by cancer
or is still living with it or just someone who enjoys a GREAT STORY.
