Dr. Peter Pry, a former CIA of- ficer, is executive director of the Task Force on National and Home- land Security and director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both congressional advisory boards. He also served on the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congres- sional Strategic Posture Com- mission, and the House Armed Services Committee. “There is an imminent threat from ISIS to the national electric grid and not just to a single U.S. city,” said Pry. Pry was speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s AM 970 The Answer. Outlining the threat, Pry recalled a leaked U.S. Federal Energy Regu- latory Commission report divulged this past March that coordinated terrorist attacks on just nine of the nation’s 55,000 electrical power substations could provoke coast- to-coast blackouts for up to 18 months.

Looking back over the his- tory of black people in America, we are told that a black man in Virginia, Anthony Johnson, became the first slave-holder in America in the 1650s. In 1860, the American people elected their first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, and the fol- lowing year, in 1861, he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves to be free men and women. Then, on December 6, 1865, in spite of strong oppo- sition from Democrats, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, banning slavery in the United States forever. In 1866, after being de- feated in the war to end slavery, Democrats established a paramili- tary auxiliary called the Ku Klux Klan to keep the freed slaves in line and to intimidate them into voting for Democratic candi- dates. However, just because the slaves were freed and human slavery had been permanently outlawed, southern Democrats did not suddenly join the ranks of abolitionists. Instead, once they’d regained control over southern legislatures they set about enact- ing Jim Crow laws and the Black Codes, dictating where and for whom blacks could work, where they could live, where they could eat and sleep, which restrooms and drinking fountains they could use, and where they were allowed to sit in movie theaters and on trains and busses.

While human slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow and the Black Codes have been major factors in black-white relations, they are not the primary contributing factor in the question of why so many black people today exhibit such anger, or why so many young blacks walk around with a chip on their shoulders, just daring white authority figures to knock it off… as was the case with Trayvon Martin, in Florida, and Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri. So what is it that causes many black people to use any pretext to go into the streets, defy police authority, and set fire to their own neighborhoods?

Expert: ‘Imminent’ ISIS threat to U.S. power grid

‘It could happen tomorrow. It could happen next week’By WND

ISIS terrorists pose an “imminent” threat to the U.S. electric grid with the capacity to coordinate a devastating assault on our nation’s

infrastructure, warned a leading homeland security and terror-ism expert in a radio interview Sunday.

Dr. Peter Pry, a former CIA of-ficer, is executive director of the Task Force on National and Home-land Security and director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both congressional advisory boards.

Will Jews turn on Obama, Dems in

This year, as in every election year since Barack Obama has been in the White House, we are hearing the cry of the hopeful Republican: This is the year that Jewish voters and donors and activists are going to turn on the president and his party and turn out for the GOP. The hope stems from a few ob-servable truths. President Obama is not a great friend of Israel and he visibly doesn’t get along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The American Jewish commu-nity – white, assimilated and prosperous – is out-of-place in a Democratic Party determined to build a coalition around an ap-peal to racial gender minorities, unmarried women, the LGBT community, immigrants and the dependent poor.

Congressman Jim Bridenstine Decries DOE Denial of Waiver to Oklahoma

Our country has prospered because of the self-reliant trait that our forefathers possessed. I have witnessed my parents and grandparents strive to make life better for themselves and their children. Whenever they saw a better way to do something or find a better job they would seize the opportunity. In my opinion it is foolish to ignore opportunity when it knocks. I live in a county that borders another state, I have seen people quit their job in one state and simply cross the border and do the same work and bring home a bigger pay check. If you were being paid 100 dollars in each state for the same work, but in one state the tax rate would take 35 dollars while the other state would only take 15 dollars, would it not make perfect sense to go to the state which would allow you to keep an additional 20 dollars of the 100 you earned?

Over the past week the Burger King Corporation has done essentially the same thing by purchasing a Canadian Company and moving their headquarters to Canada. Since the decision by Burger King, many people in government have accused them of being unpatriotic and turning their back on America. In my opinion our government has exhibited all

of the actions of being less than patriotic. Is it patriotic for our government to rack up a national debt that will rob future genera-tions of the American dream? Is it patriotic for our govern-ment to force all of us to become involved w i t h a h e a l t h c a r e s h a m k n o w n as Obamacare? And finally is it patriotic for our government to be an instrument of crony capi-talism?

We need to remember that the Burger King Corporation has shareholders that have invested their hard earned money into their company with the expectation of having a return on their invest-ment. I have noticed that most of the people accusing Burger King of being unpatriotic have never owned or run a private business of their own; until those accusers have actually run a private busi-ness they do not have the perspec-tive to understand what it takes to make a business survive. Earlier in this column I used the analogy about a person crossing a state line to make a better living for his family, what Burger King is doing is no different. America has the highest federal corporate tax rate at 35% whereas Canada has a tax rate of 15%. Our country needs to get more in line with other nations and lower its corporate tax rate, or other companies may follow suite. Instead of our elected lead-ers complaining about Burger King being unpatriotic, maybe they should learn the definition of the word patriotic and learn the concept of freedom and a limited government, and apply it.

District Work Week It was a great, busy week in the Second District. On Monday I kicked off the week with a visit to Sequoyah High School followed by a tour of Cher-okee Nation In-dustries. On my tour, Betty Sue Scott showed me a couple of the wire harnesses that new hires learn during their first few weeks on the job. These

wire harnesses are used in equip-ment for the defense industry.

(Tuesday) In the afternoon I was off to W-W Trailer in Madill. Mr. Doc Watkins, Owner of the 54-year-old company, was kind enough to give me a tour of the facility.

It was another early morning on Thursday, as I traveled to Catoosa to join the Oklahoma Farm Bureau to discuss the importance of wa-terways and water to Oklahoma’s agriculture industry. As a rancher, I was please to make sure our agriculture community had a voice in the passage of the Water Resources Reform and Develop-ment Act earlier this summer. I am also committed to ensuring the EPA does not overstep its bounds and negatively impact farmers across Oklahoma with its proposed expansion of ‘navigable waters’. You can hear more about the importance of the Port of Catoosa and the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System here.

Next I had a chance to visit the Senior Center in Claremore.

I finished this week with a few more visits with business groups in the district, and I’m looking forward to watching my boys on the football field tomorrow.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin today called on the Obama Administration to stop playing politics with children’s education and reverse its decision to strip Oklahoma of its No Child Left Behind (NCLB) waiver. The federal government today an-nounced that it would not continue to grant Oklahoma schools a NCLB waiver. The change in designation came in response to the state’s de-cision to repeal the Common Core State Standards and replace them with college and career ready stan-dards developed by Oklahomans. As a result of Oklahoma losing its waiver, schools may have to reex-amine their budgets to comply with NCLB federal requirements.

Common Core was repealed when the governor signed bipartisan legislation that passed with over-whelming majorities in the House and Senate (HB 3399 passed 71-18 in the House and 37-10 in the Senate).

“It is outrageous that President Obama and Washington bureau-crats are trying to dictate how Oklahoma schools spend education dollars,” said Fallin. “Because of overwhelming opposition from Oklahoma parents and voters to Common Core, Washington is now acting to punish us. This is one more example of an out-of-control presidency that places a politicized

Governor Mary Fallin to Presi-dent Obama: Stop Playing Politics with Our Children’s Education

Washington agenda over the well-be-ing of Okla-homa students. I join parents, teachers, and administrators in be-ing outraged by this decision, and I will fight it with every tool avail-able to the state of Oklahoma.”

Fallin said the Obama administra-tion was seeking to replace local and state priorities with a Wash-ington agenda.

“Oklahomans spoke loud and clear: we do not want the federal government telling us what to teach our children or how to teach our children. We have great teachers and administrators. The Obama administration needs to get out of their way and let them do their jobs, rather than tying their hands with additional federal rules and regulations.”

The state of Oklahoma continues to move forward to develop new college and career ready standards to replace Common Core.

“Oklahomans will continue the process of writing rigorous, robust new standards in English and mathematics,” said Fallin. “Our standards will set the bar higher than Common Core ever did. For the sake of our children, we can do no less.”

Today, the US Department of Edu-cation (DOEd) announced it will deny the Oklahoma State Depart-ment of Education’s request for flexibility, or a waiver from the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) for the 2014-2015 school year. This means Oklahoma schools will be subject to the provisions of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Under NCLB, one hundred percent of students must be determined to be “proficient” on assessments, or else schools are considered failing and subject to monetary penalties and potential takeovers.

“The State of Oklahoma took a key step earlier this summer in reestab-lishing primacy over the education of our students by voting to repeal Common Core, which has been used as a tool to nationalize curriculum,” said Congressman Bridenstine. “The Federal Government is now punish-ing Oklahoma for not conforming to federal control of education.”

The US Department of Education granted ESEA waivers tonearly all states based on several criteria, with one of the key requisitesbeing each state must have “college and career-ready” standards, as determined by DOEd. One such set of standards is

Common Core, which many states, including Oklahoma, adopted to meet this requirement. However, on June 5th, HB 3399 was signed into law, which repealed Common Core, and required Oklahoma to develop a new set of “college and career-ready” standards by 2016.

“Even though Oklahoma continues to meet the rest of the standards for the ESEA waiver, and is actively working toward new, state-devel-oped standards, our students will be punished because Oklahoma is not conforming to federalized educa-tion,” Bridenstine continued. “This is nothing more than a bullying tactic and an excuse for a federal takeover of schools.

“The federal government has no constitutional basis for involvement in our education system. This is the purview of the states and local school districts. Oklahoma acted well within its rights to reject a national curriculum, and I encour-age them to resist any attempts by President Obama and Education Secretary ArneDuncan to take over our schools. In the meantime, I will continue to work to reduce the federal government’s current role in education, including the elimination of the Department of Education.”

It highly offended me when, in recent weeks, PRESBO ordered the release from Gitmo of five, yes five, ‘detainees’ all of whom were known to be high ranking of-ficers in very brutal and extremist Muslim terrorist group, or groups. They were reportedly released in exchange for one, yes one, army enlisted man who had reportedly abandoned his post in Afghanistan and thus deserted to the enemy. A report has also been received that during his five years with the en-emy he had received a promotion to Sargent!

Now we have had a story with some coverage in media about a Marine, Sgt. Andrew Tahmoores-si, who inadvertently took a wrong turn on a multi-lane highway and ended up crossing the border into Mexico. There, after informing the Mexican border guards that he had not intended to enter Mexico and that he had his normal weap-ons in the car (which is illegal in Mexico, but what about the cartels who were furnished our weapons in “Operation Fast and Furious”) he was imprisoned. He then endured at least two ‘kangaroo court’ trials and was sentenced to, if memory serves correct, fifteen years for his ‘crime’ and has been in more than one prison for about three months. There have been no reports of the Administration taking any action against the Mexican Government to obtain his release, nor do they seem interested at all in being helpful.

And yet, apparently with the cooperation of the PRESBO Administration, they are allowing tens of thousands of ‘invaders’ from Central America to cross their territory, riding on the tops of their trains, to illegally ‘invade’ the USA, mostly across the Texas border, the Rio Grande River. This despite their normal conduct to im-mediately incarcerate anyone who, without a visa, would cross their Southern border. And their pris-ons are not particularly pleasant, compared to those of our Federal Government, including Gitmo.

Now, on Thursday, August 14, a suggestion was made during the weekly World War II Vets Of

Tulsa meeting that a petition be formulated by a Marine group for names of, hopefully, 150,000 sign-ers to be sent or delivered to the Mexican Embassy in Washington DEMANDING the immediate release of Sgt. Andrew Tah-mooressi.

I n m y mind this is a well inten-t ioned move that could gain some desirable publicity, and should be pursued, but it seems to me rather unlikely that the Mexi-can Government would pay much attention. In my opinion, a much more effective maneuver would be for US citizens who have made, or are planning to make, reservations to visit the fancy resorts in Mexico to immediately cancel their plans. When doing so the reason should be given that there is no intention to visit a nation that is so intolerant of innocent mistakes of visitors or has such a corrupt justice (?) sys-tem. And add that there will be no consideration to again visit Mexico unless Sgt. Tahmooressi is released immediately!!

We the people, as well as those in Government, need to realize that unfriendly actions by others towards us must be met with effective and hurtful reactions. The economy of Mexico is reported to be in bad shape, and thus the loss of substantial tourist dollars would get their attention. In addition, we should demand that the Govern-ment put an immediate stop to the sending of money there by illegal aliens who are working here. Let them record their pay and pay the taxes due on that money. If that would be done, possibly many of the illegal aliens would ‘self deport’ and return to the place from which they came thus saving us the cost of sending them back. Along with that, those hiring illegal aliens must pay the consequences of paying in cash. An effective and painful reac-tion is all those third world nation leaders understand!!

Peeking Out From Under The BedObama named in RICO lawsuitAccused of laundering funds to terrorist organization Hamas

By Bob Unruh

Attorney Larry Klayman, fresh off a preliminary court ruling that the National Security Agency’s spying on Americans likely is unconstitutional, now has named President Obama and others in a racketeering complaint.

Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch and a columnist for WND, alleges the president and others laundered U.S. taxpayer money that was spent on Hamas rockets fired against Israel. The civil lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington falls under the Racketeer Influenced and Cor-rupt Organizations Act, or RICO, alleges criminal acts by Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary Gen-eral Ban Ki-Moon. Seeking $1.5 billion in com-pensatory damages as well as punitive damages, it accuses the global figures of “laundering U.S. dollars” to Hamas, which is officially designated by the U.S. government as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. “This money has been foreseeably used to buy rockets and construct tunnels to attack Israel and ter-rorize and kill American and dual American-Israeli citizens who reside or are located in Israel,” Klayman said in a statement. “The nation and the world have increasingly come to see that Obama views himself primarily as a Muslim and acts accordingly in favoring Islamic interests over Judeo-Christian ones, and the complaint lays out Obama’s his-tory in documented detail,” he said. Klayman said Obama’s actions “were calculated to harm the na-tion of Israel.” “His facilitating and ordering financial and other material aid to Hamas, along with his equally anti-Israel Secretaries of State Kerry and Clinton, and the U.N. Secretary General, is just the latest deadly chapter in what amounts to criminal activity which has logi-cally resulted in harm and death to Jews and Christians and threatens the continued existence of Israel,” he said. “That is why he and the other defendants were sued under RICO and other relevant laws,” said Klayman. The White House media office declined to respond by telephone to a request from WND for com-ment, instructing a reporter to send an email. There was no im-mediately response to the email inquiry. The case, No. 14-1484, alleges the defendants conspired to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas “under the false pretext that this financial support will be used for humanitarian pur-poses.”

“However,” the complaint states, “as recently reported by Voice of America and the New York Times, the recent killing of the chief Hamas financial officer by the IDF confirmed that these U.S. dollars, only some of which [were] found in his bombed out car, [have] predictably fallen into

the hands of Hamas’ terrorist wing, which controls and was elected by Gazans to govern over them.” Klayman’s recent case against the NSA challenged its program of spying on Americans. Two privacy-rights heavyweights, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, recently filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of Klayman’s arguments. The case has been advanced to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Help Larry Klayman with his class-action suit against Obama’s use of the NSA to violate Ameri-cans’ rights Klayman sued the NSA over the collection of telephone metadata from Verizon customers that was detailed in documents released by intelligence-document leaker Edward Snowden. In December 2013, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued a preliminary ruling that the program was likely un-constitutional, and the case is cur-rently on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. His newest complaint, with him-self and a number of John Does as plaintiffs, is a civil action and seeks damages from the defen-dants “for violating plaintiffs’ and decedents’ rights, for engaging in racketeering and other prohibited activities, for engaging in inter-national terrorism, for harboring and concealing terrorists, for providing material support to terrorists and terrorist groups, for directly and proximately causing the deaths of plaintiffs’ decedents, and for directly and proximately causing mental anguish, severe emotional distress, emotional pain and suffering, and the loss of society, earnings, companionship, comfort, protection, care, atten-tion, advice, counsel or guidance, plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and their sons, plaintiffs’ dece-dents, have experienced and will experience in the future.” It alleges fraud, money-launder-ing, mail fraud, wire fraud, con-version and corruption. The complaint notes Klayman recently was in Israel when it was attacked by Hamas. Klayman, it says, “was subject to terroristic threats, fear, intimida-tion and blackmail from Hamas, aimed at coercing him from the exercise of his legal rights in vio-lation of the Hobbs Act by Hamas seeking to deny his freedom of travel and public advocacy and business activities in Israel and other activities in Israel by threats and intimidation aimed at coercing him as a person engaged in public advocacy and business activities in and with Israel to leave Israel and disengage with Israel.”

Other “John Doe” plaintiffs also were in Israel at the time of the attacks, the complaint states. It explains that, according to the law, a person “knowingly finances terrorism when fully aware of facts that would inform an alert person of average intelligence that the probable results of their actions will be to provide funding to a terrorist organization.” “One may not naively turn a blind eye, not even a president of the United States,” the complaint states. It says considerable amounts of charity money, public assistance, international assistance and hu-manitarian aid is motivated to-ward ending the violence in the Holy Land, but it “gets diverted to the corrupt enterprise, and be-comes money that – fell off a truck into the hands of the criminals actually causing the violence and their enablers.” The complaint says all of the defendants know or have reason to know that “funds and material support provided to Gaza under Hamas’s rule are actually used en-tirely or in the most part to finance the acts of terrorism, violence, murder, attempted murder, kid-napping, assault, injury, physical attacks, and other criminal activity by Hamas.’ The complaint says the defendants known Hamas uses building ma-terials for home-made rockets and underground bunkers. The complaint also notes Obama knows Hamas is officially desig-nated as a Foreign Terrorist Orga-nization by State Department and uses resources it receives for ter-rorist attacks, including the $900 million the Obama administration sent to Gaza in 2009. It even accuses Obama of “siding with” militants known as “ISIS or ISIL, signaling to the people of Israel and Jews and Christians that Hamas’ crimes against Israel and Jews and Christians are tacitly supported and approved of by the president of the United States.” The case also names Malik Obama, a half-brother of the pres-ident who runs the Barack Obama Foundation. The case alleges the organization raises money for the Muslim Brotherhood. “Two leaked classified documents show Egyptian security forces have been monitoring Malik Obama’s activities and they also implicate President Obama, Sec-retary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton in the aiding and abetting of ter-rorists.” Klayman explained the docu-ments were entered as evidence in the criminal trials of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and other top Muslim Brotherhood leaders.

Surprise, surprise. Here it is Sunday night, August 31st and I am sitting in my office in our little house in Pharr. (You do know that my office is the living room sofa, right?) Today I expected to be in Altamira at the Bible Institute, frantically unpacking, recovering from a long bus trip, and trying to get ready for class first thing Monday morning. Thank the Lord, our plans have changed.

We have been going at such a pace lately that I wondered how in the world I would be able to be ready to head for the bus station at seven o’clock August 30th. When we landed to get ready to leave for vacation on the 16th of August we made another of our jump down turn around stops here at the house.

I packed frantically, could not find my “What to take to South Padre” list. I could not even remember where it was written. I lay awake at night trying to remember what we would need. I finally brought in some boxes from the storage room, opened the pantry doors and grabbed ev-erything I thought we might need. Once we got there, checked in and unpacked, I made a shopping list. Then the girls and I went to the grocery store.

As usual, I had a huge box of mail that screamed for attention. So, I took a load of paperwork with me, plenty of pens, envelopes and stamps. While the grand-gal and her best friend were at the beach or in the pool, I got some of my work done. Finally, I just threw up my hands and went and took a nap. That was the first vacation on the island that I did not go swim-ming, nor even take a lazy walk on the beach.

When we got home and un-loaded the car I wanted to run away from home. My suitcase from the last trip to Mexico was setting open in the living room floor, yelling at me. By the time we got the van un-loaded, the kitchen floor was full of boxes that needed to be unpacked, and there was more luggage in the living room that needed attention. The kitchen was piled with things that I took and more things that I bought that we did not need after all. Once again, I put things in the fridge and gathered up our pillows from the living room and went to our room and crawled in the bed.

The director of the IBLAC Bible Institute in Altamira, Brother David Munoz, contacted us a while back and asked us to come and teach in September and October. Because of the way he made that invitation we understood that classes would begin Sept lst. We were surprised when we were at the National Convention August 1-3 and heard the announcement that classes would begin on the 25th of August!

I spoke to Brother David and told him that there was no way we could be there on the 25th. Our vacation had been scheduled for 13 months, and there was no way we could change our reservations. He told me not to worry, that it was normal for the students to sort of drift in during that first week. He said if we got there by September lst we would be right on time. He assured us that the whole student body would not be there until that second week. I knew that that sort of thing never happened when we were living there on campus teach-ing. But, we were relieved by his comment and made plans to head south on August 30th.

Ever since we got back from vacation, on the 23rd, I have just felt overwhelmed at the amount of work that needs to be done around here. I have been trying to manage some of that, while trying to get ready to leave again. I started in by unpacking my suitcase from our trip to Mexico for the youth camp and national association. And, then, I had to start in putting away all the left over kitchen stuff from a week at the beach. I finally unloaded my vacation suitcase. While, in the back of my mind, I was working on lesson plans for my Speech class and the Creative Writing class. In years past I have only taught Speech. Since David spoke to us about teaching this semester I have searched for material for the writing class, and some books to help me out. Never mind what I have accumulated,

I keep finding one more thing I could use.

With all of this distraction, a week ago Saturday we went to a free Skin Cancer Screening at the hospital where our son Monte is the Tumor Registry Manager at Doctor’s Hospital Renaissance Cancer Center. I have had a little spot under my left eye t h a t h a s concerned m e f o r some time. Every time I had a doc-to r ’ s ap -pointment I w o u l d p r o m i s e myself that I would have him check it. Then, I would always be so distracted by all of the doctor’s questions that I would forget to mention it. So I was glad to finally have that checked.

The doctor who checked it, said it looked like a basal cell or squamas cell cancer. He urged me to get in to his office for a biopsy “sooner than later.” So, I was able to get an appointment for Monday morning the 25th at 8:40. The doctor who saw Hubby also recommended that he come in and have some spots on the top of his head removed. My doctor removed the spot under my eye, then he checked my huge birthmark that is hidden down under my right arm, and also took two biopsies from it, just to check. When he told me to make an appointment in 12 days to get the report I told him that we would be in Mexico. So, he told me to call and get the report. The doctor who saw Hubby froze off several spots on the top of his head. They told us to use sun screen and wear hats. That is something that we always do.

Thursday night, while I was frantically trying to get the mail finished so I could pack Friday, Brother David Munoz called. He had some rather startling news. No students came to enroll in the Bible Institute! After a great youth camp and many high school and col-lege age students in the altars we expected a good group to enroll. But, no one surrendered their life to come study for the ministry. We have such a great need for pastors and workers.

Brother David and members of the committee had visited sev-eral churches after the National Association urging young people to come study at the Bible Institute. He said the committee had decided that they would visit the churches again and try to encourage young men to surrender to the Lord’s calling on their lives. They have set Sept. 22 or 29th as a new start date. I wanted to cry, it was such a relief. I had even prayed and told the Lord that I didn’t want to go back to Altamira right now. I am still up to my neck in things that need to be done here at the house. The stress of trying to get ready to leave again for two months had about plowed me under.

There were two young peo-ple from the children’s home already in Piedras Negras Friday night, with bus tickets in hand, ready to travel down to Reynosa and then go to Altamira with us on the bus on Saturday to study at the Bible Institute. When we received the news that the semester has been rolled back, I called and headed them off.

Back in the summer Brother Lalo Gonzalez, our consuegro (our son’s father-in-law), who is the director of the Seminary of the Cross in Reynosa contacted us. He asked if there would be some way that we could come and teach for a couple of weeks during the month of August. We were delighted with that invitation, since that is where we started out. We helped with the construction of the building, then taught there for about 2 ½ years. It was in the spring of ’98 when our Home Missions Direc-tor asked us to go to Puerto Rico and try to rescue the church there. Their pastor had run away with the song director. Since hubby is an ordained deacon, the director asked us to go for six months until

files” section of the computer were 146 gigabytes of material, con-taining a total of 35,347 files in 2,367 folders. Abu Ali allowed (Foreign Policy) to copy all these files — which included documents in French, English, and Arabic — onto an external hard drive.” The contents of those files demonstrate an enemy with a strategy and a plan, and know-ing their barbaric nature, they’re certainly more than willing to execute their evil designs. Foreign Policy reports, “there were videos of Osama bin Laden, manuals on how to make bombs, instructions for steal-ing cars, and lessons on how to use disguises in order to avoid getting arrested while travel-ing from one jihadi hot spot to another.” “The documents also suggest the laptop’s owner was teaching himself about the use of biologi-cal weaponry, in preparation for a potential attack that would have shocked the world. The information on the laptop makes clear that its owner is a Tunisian national named Muhammed S. who joined ISIS in Syria and who studied chemistry and physics at two universities in Tunisia’s northeast.”

“Even more disturbing is how he planned to use that educa-tion: The ISIS laptop contains a 19-page document in Arabic on how to develop biological weapons and how to weaponize the bubonic plague from infect-ed animals. “The advantage of biological weapons is that they do not cost a lot of money, while the human casualties can be huge,” the document states.” For those in the Obama admin-istration and his devoted aco-lytes, this is not some “regional” dispute that can be resolved by Iraqi government reconciliation. This is a concerted global effort that cannot be dismissed. ISIS represents the purest form of Islamic totalitarianism — yes, it is deeply motivated by Islam, without queston — and the concept of mutually-assured destruction which existed be-tween the US and the USSR does not exist in this case. ISIS is an Islamic terrorist army with a global recruiting effort, a financial stream, and 21st century communications tools — all being utilized by a bunch of cretins who want to return to a 7th century ideal.

While President Obama golfs and attends Democrat fundrais-

ers — all the while not having a plan — the laptop details terrify-ing plans in a 26-page fatwa, or Islamic ruling, on the usage of weapons of mass destruction.

“If Muslims cannot defeat the kafir [unbelievers] in a differ-ent way, it is permissible to use weapons of mass destruction,” states the fatwa by Saudi jihadi cleric Nasir al-Fahd, who is currently imprisoned in Saudi Arabia. “Even if it kills all of them and wipes them and their descendants off the face of the Earth.” Now of course all the cultural jihad apologists will attack me for writing this and refer to me as an alarmist, fear monger or sensationalist. They will say ISIS will never get the capacity or capability to execute a mas-sive biological attack against the West or America — yep, and planes don’t fly into buildings either chuckleheads.

Here’s what the laptop of doom suggests: “Use small grenades with the virus, and throw them in closed areas like metros, soc-cer stadiums, or entertainment centers. Best to do it next to the air-conditioning. It also can be used during suicide opera-tions.” The longer ISIS is allowed to exist — and 110 pinprick air-strikes is not degrading their capability — the more time they will have to develop their schemes and plans. Time is not on our side, but it seems that Obama believes he can just dith-er all the day long. Or perhaps, Obama doesn’t really want to deter ISIS — and certainly not attack them. You have to ask, if Obama has been receiving his daily national security briefs, why would he allow this threat to develop and metastasize into what it is today? Or maybe he does not take any security briefs at all? How could any American president allow such a direct threat to exist and publicly ad-mit he has no plan? Well, Mr. President Barack Hussein Obama, ISIS has a plan and their plan is not based upon what they will not do, or aren’t willing to do. Obama is convey-ing the message that he wants to avoid engaging and fighting ISIS. ISIS is conveying the mes-sage that they will kill anything and anyone who stands in their way — the way of restoring Islamic dominance.

So, whose side is Obama on?

Plague, from pg. 1______________________________________

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – A new federal regulation would allow temporary federal employees to qualify for health coverage more quickly, but may violate current law which excludes temporary employees from receiving health benefits before one year of cur-rent continuous employment. U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) sent a letter to Director Archuleta, head of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), expressing his concerns and rais-ing questions of the legality with the proposed rule. The text of the letter is below:

August 28, 2014

Katherine ArchuletaDirectorOffice of Personnel Management1900 E Street, N.W.Washington, DC 20415-1000Docket No.: 2014-17806

Dear Director Archuleta:

I am concerned about the July 29, 2014, proposed rule pro-viding for health benefits for some temporary federal employees.

This rule would allow cer-tain types of temporary, seasonal, and intermittent federal employees to qualify for health coverage un-der the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). Eli-gible workers would also receive a full government contribution to-wards their premiums. Avoidance of the penalty under the employer mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act appears to be a key reason the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is moving forward with the proposal. The proposed rule discusses at length how the federal government will be subject to the mandate’s penalty if any full-time worker receives a subsidy for health insur-ance through an exchange.

I am concerned the proposed rule may be inconsistent with cur-rent federal law, which appears to prohibit eligibility of temporary employees for both the FEHBP and full government contribution under the conditions you estab-lished.

First, the proposed rule would allow temporary employ-ees to qualify for the FEHBP after a 90-day waiting period, even though federal law only provides for eligibility after “1 year of current continuous employment, excluding any break in service of 5 days or less.”[1] Only under these conditions can OPM “prescribe regulations to provide for offering health benefits plans to temporary employees.”[2]

Second, the proposed rule would allow the government to make a full contribution to the pre-miums for such FEHBP coverage, even though federal law states, “[T]he employing agency of any such temporary employee shall not pay the Government contribution under the provisions of section 8906.”[3]

Ironically, OPM reaffirms these policies in the background of the proposal: “Currently, most employees on temporary appoint-ments become eligible for FEHBP coverage after completing one year of current continuous employment and, once eligible for coverage, do not receive an employer contribu-tion to premium” (page 43969).

Your department has previ-ously acknowledged legal limita-tions of extending coverage under the FEHBP. Before a congres-sional hearing in 2010, Angela Bailey (now OPM’s Chief Operat-ing Officer) said, “[OPM] took a very good, close look at both our regulations and the law. And the

way the law is currently written, it is written in such a way that it excludes temporary employees from receiving health benefits...After 1 year, even temporary employees are eligible to apply for health benefits as long as they pay the 100 percent contribution of that” (emphasis added).[4] From my understanding, OPM has held this view for decades.[5]

I respectfully request you submit answers to the following questions about OPM’s decision to move forward with a policy that may contradict federal law:

1. Does OPM agree current federal law prohibits temporary employees from qualifying for health benefits coverage before one year of continuous service? Please provide a copy of OPM’s legal analysis used to conclude this element of the proposed rule is consistent with current law.

2. Does OPM agree current federal law prohibits temporary employees from receiving a gov-ernment contribution toward the premiums for any such coverage? Please provide a copy of OPM’s legal analysis used to conclude this element of the proposed rule is consistent with current law.

3. Has OPM’s understanding of federal law changed since it took a “very good, close look at both [OPM] regulations and the law” [6] and concluded it had no au-thority to expand existing health benefits available to temporary employees? If so, please describe which laws if any enacted since 2010 have given OPM author-ity to expand availability of such benefits.

4.Please provide copies of all analyses, memoranda, and emails discussing the legality of this pro-posed rule.

5. The proposed rule states, “Once an employee is enrolled under paragraph (j) of this section, eli-gibility will not be revoked, re-gardless of his or her actual work schedule or employer expectations in subsequent years.” Under this practice, temporary, intermittent, and seasonal employees may work significantly less than full-time and still receive coverage under the FEHBP. Please describe how OPM expects an agency to with-hold an employee’s health insur-ance contribution if he or she did not receive a wage sufficient to cover the employee contribution in a given pay period.

6. Has OPM requested any leg-islative changes related to health benefits coverage of temporary employees in any of the last five budget requests or through other means?

I appreciate your diligence in further evaluating the legality of the proposed rule and ask you respond to this inquiry by Septem-ber 30, 2014.

Sincerely,

Tom A. Coburn, M.D.Ranking Member

New Health Benefit For Tem-porary Federal Employees May

Violate Federal Law

‘Your Addams Family tie blends awkwardly with your nursing home security guard jacket’ - Esquire, a men’s fashion magazine that certainly dresses to the left, was horrified by the president’s taupe suit, chiding the commander in chief: “You are not the president of Sears.” The Tampa Bay Times even called it a flip flop: [For Michael Lewis’ 2012 profile of Obama in Vanity Fair magazine, the] venerable writer had almost unfettered access to the president for the pre-election story that provided many anecdotes from the inner workings of Obama’s White House and Air Force One, as well as his philosophies and habits. That included how Obama dresses. ‘You’ll see I wear only gray or blue suits,’ he said. ‘I’m trying to pare down decisions. I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make.’”

tor, there isn’t a single Jewish Republican in Congress (or in any statehouse). And 2014 isn’t going to reverse that.

There are only three congressional races – two in New York, one in Connecticut – where Jewish can-didates are considered competi-tive, and all three are long shots. The GOP has no Jewish senatorial candidates at all. The Republican side of the aisle in both houses of Congress has, and will have, about as many Jewish members as the Icelandic parlia-ment.

There aren’t even any great He-brew hopes out there, just a few obscure local politicians who might, someday, run for higher office. The best known (and most influential) Republican Jew in America is Sheldon Adelson, the octogenarian casino mogul and mega-donor. Whatever Adelson’s virtues, he isn’t anybody’s idea of an electoral poster boy. Of course you don’t have to be Jewish to get Jewish votes. Al Smith, a New York Catholic, won almost 75 percent in his loss to Herbert Hoover in 1928. Frank-lin Roosevelt got between 85-90 percent in four straight elections. John F. Kennedy, the son of a notorious anti-Semite, topped 80 percent in 1960. Four years later, Lyndon Johnson got 90 percent running against Barry Goldwater, the grandson of frontier Jews. Obama got 69 percent of Jewish voters in 2012.

In the last 20 presidential elections, only Jimmy Carter, a transparently unfriendly figure, got less than two-thirds of the Jewish presiden-tial vote – and even he out-polled the strongly pro-Israel Ronald Reagan.

The fact is, the great majority of American Jewish Democrats see their party and its agenda as their secular religion. Reform Judaism, America’s largest Jew-ish denomination, is sometimes jokingly called “the Democratic Party with holidays.” A lot of Jews would sooner convert to Shia Islam than leave the party of their forefathers.

Republicans sometimes wonder at this loyalty. After all, polls show that they and their voters are more pro-Israel than Democrats. Republicans are attracted to the Jewish state because of its pioneer ethos, its “peace through strength” posture in the face of anti-Western jihad, its reflexive pro-American-ism and, for Christian evangelicals, its biblical roots.

None of this means much to most American Jews, however (except to the Orthodox, still a relatively small minority). There isn’t much data, but conventional political thinking is that secular Jews, to the extent they are voting as Jews, are more concerned about a woman’s right to choose, gay rights or com-prehensive immigration reform than they are about specific Israel-related policy. Jews of all sorts tend to be pro-Israel. For many it is personal. But that doesn’t mean supporting specific policies. The Democrats will retain their loyalty as long as the party maintains an acceptable level of support for Israel – to be, as Barack Obama once said about Hillary Clinton in a different con-text, “likable enough.”

President Obama clears that bar. Clinton, if she runs in 2016, will do even better. Bibi Netanyahu would prefer a Republican president, but he won’t be on the ballot, and any candidate he supports will lose big time to Hillary Clinton. Or Chelsea, for that matter.

Mr. Friedman had inter-viewed the president and shared many significant direct quotes from the president.

Several words or phrases dominated the president’s dis-course which characterizes his mindset. He used the word ‘compromise’ five times in the interview; the word ‘maximal-ist’ four times; the phrase ‘no victor/no vanquished’ three times; and the personal pronoun ‘I’ more times than the others combined.

The major players/issues discussed focused on Middle Eastern nations; the Israeli/Pal-estinian conflict; and Russia and Ukraine.

Mr. Friedman gave his im-pression of president Obama’s wisdom of world players and events. “It’s clear that the presi-dent has a take on the world, born of many lessons over the last six years…” Mr. Friedman is implying that six years in of-fice was sufficient to give the president an insightful world-view of geopolitical issues.

One word not used by the president in the interview was God. Either he doesn’t believe that God is involved in foreign policy issues, or he chooses to ignore God’s participation in, or sovereignty over, such issues.

The prophet Jeremiah, King Solomon, and King David were intimately aware of and addressed the issue of God’s omnipresence.

“‘Can anyone hide him-self in secret places, so I shall not see him?’ says the LORD. ‘Do I not fill heaven and earth?’ says the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:24

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3

“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there…” Psalm 139:7-8

The presence of God is everywhere at all times; there-fore, to leave Him out of foreign policy issues would have to be done with conscious effort.

To attempt to devise for-eign policy without God could be likened to navigating Times Square in a taxi without a driv-er.

President Obama’s over-riding philosophy relative to foreign policy is that everyone should be able to co-exist and simply get along peacefully.

First of all he believes that all parties should compromise. Inasmuch as ‘compromise’ is not found in the Bible, we’ll need to consult Webster where compromise is defined as ‘to settle by mutual concession’.

The president used the term ‘maximalist’ in a negative sense as one who ho lds extreme po-litical views and i s no t w i l l i n g t o compromise.

To sup-port his phi-losophy the president injected the phrase ‘no victor/no van-quished’ several times. Webster defines vanquished as to be overcome in battle where there is an obvious victor. It means to be conquered; to be defeated; to be subdued; for one to gain mastery over another.

And while the president believes in no victor/no van-quished, the Bible repeatedly tells of the opposite, especially as relates to His chosen nation Israel. Consider the following example where King David ex-tolled God as the victor.

“Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel…Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all.” 1 Chronicles 29:10-11

Some might surmise that since David wrote a millennium before Christ was born, God’s sovereignty over the nations is no longer relevant.

Consider the Apostle Paul addressing Grecian philoso-phers during the early days of the church.

“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and had determined their pre-appointed (appointed) times and the boundaries of their dwellings.” Acts 17:26

The Greek for nation in the present context means the whole race of mankind.

The Greek for ‘determine’ means to ‘mark out definitely’. Synonyms include setting off by boundary, and/or apportioning.

Appointed means ‘to cause to do or be’ while boundaries means ‘a setting of bounds or a limit’.

In the coming weeks we’ll examine in more detail presi-dent Obama’s ‘take’ on foreign policy, especially as it relates to Israel and the Middle East and compare his thinking with Biblical wisdom.

The debt we owe to those who stand between us and our enemies

By Charlie Daniels

I was only 5-years-old, but I remember well the cold, dreary Sunday, December 7 in 1941, when our family gathered around my Granddaddy’s big floor model radio to listen to the news that the Japanese Impe-rial Air Force had attacked the United States naval facilities in Pearl Harbor.

That’s the day the world changed for me, never to be the same in my life. The Second World War become very real to those of us in coastal North Carolina, where ships leaving my seaport hometown of Wilm-ington were sunk by German U-boats just miles off our coast, prompting a very real fear that the Nazis would try to bring the war on shore.

I learned very early in my life that only two things protect our nation: the grace of Almighty God and the United States military.

That’s the way it was then, the way it is now and the way it will always be, as long as America is a free and sovereign nation. And I feel we owe an unpayable debt of gratitude to those who stand between us and our enemies.

Being exposed to the hor-rors of war creates unique prob-lems for those who experience it up close. The needs of our returning veterans are many and diverse – life-changing injuries, deep-seated mental difficulties, damaged marriages and a myr-iad of other challenges that few of us who have not been there can begin to understand.

One day young men and women are dodging bullets and IEDs in the desert, and a couple of days later they’re walking

through the airport in Dallas among a hurrying crowd of trav-elers who have no idea what it’s like to live in constant danger or see a buddy die.

How alone they must feel, how insignificant our bustling around must seem to them, how shallow our priorities, how in-different our attitudes.

Sometimes we make the mistaken assumption that the men and women who serve in our military have an extra gene or some internal mechanism that staves off loneliness and enables them to be away from their families for months on end without experiencing the pain of separation the rest of us feel.

The truth is that they miss their families and loved ones just as badly as any civilian – or, given the circumstances of the desolate places they serve in, even worse. It’s actually cour-age and devotion to duty that enable them to weather their long deployments.

When we think about the care and welfare of our veterans, we tend to believe government programs have it all covered. But government programs are just another name for bureau-cracies, often operated by in-sensitive bean counters, tight-fisted administrators and, as we’ve seen recently, downright crooks.

In my opinion, it is the duty of us, the private American citizens, to take up the slack, fill in the blank spaces and make sure our returning vets have the medical care, education, coun-seling and opportunities they so desperately need to jump-start an interrupted life.

Many good and dedicated

service organizations have come along in the last few years, and they do a wonderful job of help-ing our vets readjust and re-ac-climate. They would appreciate any support caring Americans can provide.

Tonight when you go home, look at your family and know they can go to bed and

sleep in safety and wake up tomorrow in the freest nation on the planet.

Thanks to the grace of Almighty God and the United States military.

God, please bless Amer-ica.

Home Sweet Home

Years ago OPEC wanted to create a Petrocurrency in which to trade its oil. They were going to have it made up from a basket of currencies and gold. Our country was racking up what they thought at the time was huge debts and our nation was running out of oil. President Nixon had already re-moved us from the gold standard, but in a moment of inspiration, he convinced King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to accept only US dollars as payment for oil. In exchange he promised our military forces to protect the Saudi Monarchy and all of its oil fields from all enemies. By 1975 all of OPEC’s members agreed all oil had to be bought in dollars. This was a win, win situation for the US dollar – all countries large and small had to buy American dollars to buy OPEC oil. Today the rest of the world is slowly bringing the curtain down on this agreement. It has been estimated when the petro-dollar is no longer in affect the cost of living for the American public will jump another 25%.

This agreement made the rest of the world come to our country’s door with money in hand to buy dollars or to sell us cheap goods.

The Telegraph, a British newspaper ran an article by Economist Liam Halligan, which stated: Beijing has struck numer-ous agreements with Brazil and India that bypass the dollar. China and Russia have also set up ruble-yuan swaps pushing America’s currency out of the picture. But if Beijing and Moscow - the world’s largest energy importer and producer respectively - drop dollar energy pricing. America’s reserve currency status could un-ravel. That would undermine the US Treasury market and seriously complicate Washington’s ability to finance its vast and still fast growing $17,500 billion of dollar denominated debt.

If things ever come loose at the hinges and the petro-dollar is set aside, everything Americans purchase will sky-rocket in price. People say $2,000 gold is nuts, it’s all in one’s viewpoint. After WWI in Germany a pound of bread cost 3 billion Marks. If hy-perinflation lands at our nation’s door, what do you think a pound of bread would cost or an ounce of gold? The trust others have in America is all the value a dollar has and the world is losing faith in America’s leaders in all things, including financial matters.

Giving money and power to our leaders is like giving a young cowboy your pickup truck and the keys to the saloon and local cathouse; someone is going to get the shaft. – From a book on Amazon’s Kindle “A Cowboy’s Whistling.”

Politicians have never added value to anything, they pull value from those working and transfer it to those who will not work, flushing it into oblivion. The government could be likened to a farmer’s sow lying in mud, with all of her little piglets sucking away, which we’ll call: unions, the rich, the poor, the environ-mentalists and all of the different special interests groups. The day is approaching when the govern-

ment revenues will not support all of the little piglets and the government will print even more money. As this day approaches government will want more taxes to keep the game going a little longer. Regardless of the revenue raised it will not pay our nation’s debt or service the interest on it.

W e still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every cor-ner and crevice of industry and grasping at the spoil of the mul-titude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pre-tenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape with-out a tribute.” – Thomas Paine of the American Revolution

U.S. taxpayers spend more than 1.4 billion dollars a year on the Obamas. Meanwhile, Brit-ish taxpayers only spend about 58 million dollars on the entire royal family. Now, you tell me the taxpayer isn’t getting it put to him. Another picture of “entitle-ments” - seems every dog on the street wants to be favored and petted and this chain runs from Main Street to Pennsylvania Avenue all the way to the “Top Dog.”

How has the American people become a “Nation of Entitled?” What makes us so special? Seems the more special we as a nation have become our national debt rises accordingly.

“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him pre-occupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort.” - Alexis de Tocqueville

In 2013 the Paris based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released a study of global education systems. Amer-ica’s 15 year olds were average in science and reading and below average in math. The records from the U.S. Department of Education shows math students have slipped from 24th to 29th in the last testing in 2010. In sci-ence they’ve gone from 19th to 22nd, while in reading they’ve dropped from 10th to 20th.

If our government lead-er’s goals includes a “dumbing down” of the nation’s children, they’re succeeding in a grand fashion. When other nations have better students, we’ll have trouble as a country keeping our inventive edge, the world runs on competition, not passing out good grades to make children feel good about themselves. The business world is competition, day in and day out.

We can take notice, money is not the decisive factor as America spends more money per child than all but 5 countries in the world. Poverty, diversity or high levels of immigration are not a total reason for children’s inability to learn as many coun-tries also have these problems and we find their children score higher than ours.

The little red card buried deep in one of my notebooks from a dealer meeting I attended a couple of years ago reads “If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Why?”

I suppose that would be easy for most people to answer, except if they have never trav-elled outside their home country. They may only know about ex-otic places from the descriptions

a b o u t them in m a g a -zines and t r a v e l b r o -c h u r e s . T h o s e o n l y show the glamour

and beauty and may not give a true picture of real life.

My experiences in world travels and having the opportu-nity to spend two years living in Brazil has given me plenty of mind pictures to draw from. Even so, it is difficult to know if what I saw and heard would make me an authority on where the best place is to live in the world.

Sunday morning Pastor Duey Matthews related their experiences of travelling “back home”. He and Stella spent the first ten years of their mar-riage in Davis County, Indiana. In-laws Melvin and Gladys Paulus still live there and were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. It was also the place where he was first called to the ministry with encourage-ment of his father-in-law after Brother Melvin Paulus had held evangelistic services at our church in Mayes County, Oklahoma.

From Indiana, the Mat-thews spent some time visiting his mother in Ohio where he grew up. As a teenager, he had travelled to western Oklahoma

to spend summers with his rela-tives and met Stella there.

Having made the trip back and forth many times to Ohio and Indiana over the years, he was well acquainted with the route; however, without know-ing how it happened, he missed a sign in St. Louis and crossed a new bridge over the river that put him heading in the wrong direction.

I have been in similar situations and know that even before GPS’s I could imagine a road map in my mind that could lead me back to the original route. It does not always work unless you turn around and re-trace until you are back on the right track.

It was good to hear Pastor Duey tell that Adair, Oklahoma is HOME and it felt good to be back. He will not be home too long before he will go back on the road to preach revival ser-vices in Milford, Nebraska.

After attending our Chupp family reunion last week, some relatives came here with memo-ries of when they lived here. Over the years, a lot of thing change and yet a lot just stay the same. We retrace our steps back to the starting place, see the people and know that a lot of who we are was influenced by our past experiences.

Now, to try and choose where I would live if given the opportunity, I still feel very comfortable being an “Okie”. To leave the comfort and secu-rity of this place and to venture out and be a pioneer just doesn’t appeal to me. I still would enjoy experiences of seeing other places. There are many locations in the northern states where I have never been. Our neighbors just came back from a trip to Canada. The Canadian Rockies, the vast prairies and the wildlife interest me.

My age is creeping up and may limit my travels in the future. Lately, I have had

thoughts of going on a foreign scripture blitz with the Gide-ons, maybe also attending the Mennonite World Conference, which will be in Pennsylvania next year. There is a concern because a US visitor’s Visa is required from 44 of the 56 coun-tries where people are expected to be travelling from.

Then there is the question posed on another one of those red cards: “If you knew that you only had a year left to live, what would you do?” WOW, that is a tough one. I know people with a terminal illness who, except for a miracle, have their days num-bered. It must be hard to accept that death is imminent, but we all have the same diagnosis – we only have one life to live.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalms 33:12

Home is where the heart is. Mine is here in Oklahoma.

Have a good week. God Bless…

Joe with his Smart Meter radiation detector

TIME TO STAND UP OKLAHOMA AND BE COUNTED August 3, 2014

This article will be the twenty-first in a series about the current “SPY” Smart Meters being rolled out in Oklahoma by the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) and Northeast Oklahoma Electric Cooperative (REC) and other electric utilities including the Oklahoma Natural Gas Com-pany (ONG) a division of ONE Gas.

“Spy” SMART METERS IN OKLAOMA

I would like to introduce our readers to Dr. Magda Havas who is Associate Professor of Envi-ronmental & Resource Studies at Trent University where she teaches and does research on the biological effects of environmental contaminants. Dr. Havas received her Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, completed Post-Doctoral research at Cornell University, and taught at the University of Toronto before going to Trent Uni-versity in Peterborough, Canada.

Dr. Havas’s research since the 1990s is concerned with the bio-logical effects of electromagnetic pollution including radio fre-quency radiation, electromag-netic fields, dirty electricity, and ground current. She works with diabetics as well as with individu-als who have multiple sclerosis, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, fibro-myalgia and those who are elec-trically hypersensitive. She also conducts research on sick building syndrome as it relates to power quality in schools.http://www.magdahavas.com/

Following are excerpts from Dr. Magda Havasʼs presentation at the Corporate Interference with Science and Health: Fracking, Food, and Wireless, Scandinavia House, New York, NY, March 13 and 14, 2013.

Radiation from wireless technol-ogy affects the blood, the heart, and the autonomic nervous system.

“Abstract: Exposure to electros-mog generated by electric, elec-tronic, and wireless technology is accelerating to the point that a portion of the population is expe-riencing adverse reactions when they are exposed. The symptoms of electrohypersensitivity (EHS), best described as rapid aging rapid aging syndromesyndrome, experienced by adults and children resemble symptoms experienced by radar operators in the 1940s to the 1960s and are well described in the literature. An increasingly common response includes clumping (rouleau forma-tion) of the red blood cells, heart palpitations, pain or pressure in the chest accompanied by anxiety, and an upregulation of the sympathetic nervous system coincident with a downregulation of the parasym-pathetic nervous system typical of the “fight-or- flight” response. Provocation studies presented in this article demonstrate that the response to electrosmog is physi-physi-ologicologic and not psychosomatic. Those who experience prolonged and severe EHS may develop psychologic problems as a conse-quence of their inability to work, their limited ability to travel in our highly technologic environment, and the social stigma that their

symptoms are imagined rather than real.IntroductionOur exposure to devices using electricity and emitting extremely lowfrequency and radio-frequency electromagnetic fields has been increasing ever since Edison in-vented the incandescent light bulb and Tesla and Marconi discovered that radio-frequency (RF) radiation can be transmitted without wires. Radio, television, computers, cell phones, and their accompanying cell phone antennas, cordless phones, wireless routers (WiFi), wireless baby monitors, wireless games, and smart meterssmart meters are in-creasing our exposure to RF radia-tion and especially to microwave radiation (300 MHz–300 GHz).

As an example of the proliferation of this technology, access to WiFi was limited in 2002 but by 2012 access was virtually ubiquitous in the USA. We have city-wide WiFi in some communities, WiFi at work, at home, in school, univer-sities, and hospitals, in restaurants and coffee shops, on public transit, at airports, and on an increasing number of airplanes. As a society, we seem to be insatiable for wire-less technology and the connectiv-ity it affords.

Although the downside to this technology, namely, the potentially harmful effects of nonionizing radiation, has received relatively little attention in North America and remains controversial, it is an area that deserves proper research funding based on the sheer num-ber of users and people exposed worldwide to RF electromagnetic fields.

In this article, the relationship between electrosmog exposure and electrohypersensitivity (EHS), with a focus on the cardiovascular system, is presented, based on provocation studies and on reports of ill healthill health among those living near cell phone base stations or exposed to WiFi in schools.

ElectrohypersensitivityJust as some people have mul-tiple chemical sensitivity or react to pollen, mold, and certain types of food, a growing population is becoming “sensitive” to electro-magnetic radiation.

Khurana reviewed ten epidemio-logic studies, three dealing with cancer and seven with neurobe-havioral effects, that examined the putative effects of mobile phone base stations. All of the neurobe-havioral studies reported more symptoms with proximity to base stations, and only one attributed these health effects to stress rather than RF exposure.

... People who lived closest to

the antennas experienced the following symptoms more of-ten than those who lived further away: fatigue, sleep disturbance, headaches, feeling of discom-fort, difficulty concentrating,

depression, memory loss, visual disruptions, irritability, hear-ing disruptions, skin problems, cardiovascular problems, dizzi-ness, loss of appetite, movement difficulties, and nausea. Many of these symptoms are more com-mon as we age, thus I prefer to call this rapid aging syndromeaging syndrome(RAS). The difference between real aging and RAS experienced by those who are electrically hypersensitive is that when these people go into an electromagneti-cally clean environment, many of their symptoms diminish or disappear. Obviously, this does not happen with real aging.” (emphasis mine)(Presentation to be continued in next weekʼs Banner)

Dr. Havasʼs presentation illustrates what is occurring to and affecting Dr. Kendellʼs health (discussed in last weekʼs Banner article) and many others who are not familiar or have not heard of these health symptoms. Dr. Kendell recognizes the deadly dangers of SMART METERS and both he and his wife are experi-encing health symptoms caused by their SMART METER. He is among the few who understands the damaging HEALTH ISSUES caused by SMART METERS.

Rick Perry: Obama clueless about border

‘To this day the president has yet to see the facts on the ground’

By Drew Zahn

DALLAS – Texas Gov. Rick Perry has seen firsthand the recent surge of illegal immigra-tion and unaccompanied minors crossing America’s southern border, and he says President Obama is clueless about what’s really going on. “To this day the president of the United States has yet to see the facts on the ground at our southern border, even though they area direct consequence of his policies,” Perry declared Friday at the “Defending the American Dream Summit,” sponsored by Americans for Prosperity. Perry detailed what he’s seen and why Obama is to blame: “Young boys and girls, chil-dren, thousands of miles away from their parents – they’re vul-nerable, they’re afraid, they’re drawn here by rumors of am-nesty. There are these coyotes and these smugglers and these gang members and these other low-lifes that are taking advan-tage of these children.” Republicans like Perry have consistently warned that Dem-ocrat policies preventing a secured border and swift de-portations have not only left the border open, but also left the impression that children can come to the United States illegally with little fear of being deported, de facto “amnesty.” In fact, a very small percentage of the tens of thousands of un-accompanied minors who have crossed into the U.S. in 2014 have been deported. The other reality of the bor-der that Perry explained both mainstream media and admin-

istration spokespeople have missed is that with the flood of unaccompanied minors have come an even greater number of adults, many with criminal records. “The unaccompanied children you’ve been reading about and seeing video of are just about 20 percent of those who are illegally crossing our border,” Perry continued. “Most are adults, and a lot of those folks are working for cartels, engaged in criminal activities. There are thousands of criminal aliens who have committed theft and assault and murder after com-ing here illegally.” Perry explained U.S. Border Pa-trol agents “are overwhelmed” and related the tale of one Bor-der Patrol agent, presumably Javier Vega Jr., who was shot and killed Aug. 3 in front of his wife, two children and parents during a botched robbery in Santa Monica, Texas. Two illegal aliens were charged with the crime, which local law enforcement suggested is likely cartel-related. “The alleged perpetrators were two criminal aliens, one of them who had been arrested no less than four times, the other one who had been deported multiple times,” Perry said. “Because of the danger that is posed by these drug smug-glers, these transnational gangs, the human traffickers – that is the reason that I deployed the National Guard to the border to secure it. “If Washington, D.C., will not do its job to secure that border, Texas will,” Perry declared.

As Obama drags heels, Canada turns to ChinaMoving forward with Asian-market pipeline as Keystone blocked

Jerome R. Corsi

NEW YORK – With the increas-ing importance of oil sales to the Canadian economy and the Obama administration’s continued block-ing of plans to build the Keystone Pipeline, Canada is moving ahead with the Enbridge Northern Gate-way Project, a pipeline to expedite the shipping of land-locked oil reserves in Alberta to China.

Calgary-based energy giant En-bridge received the approval of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government June 17 to proceed with the construction of the $7.3 billion Northern Gateway Project connecting Canada’s rich oil sands in Alberta to a British Columbia port, despite the strong objections of aboriginal “first nation” tribes and environmental activists. The Harper government in recent months has become increasingly frustrated with the refusal of the Obama administration to approve TransCanada Corporation’s plan to construct the Keystone XL pipeline. On June 12, Bloomberg reported Canadian Finance Minister Joe Oli-ver, along with Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and For-eign Affairs Minister John Baird, traveled to New York to charge in media interviews and at an energy conference that President Obama has “unfairly entangled” the $5.4 billion pipeline project with U.S. politics. The Northern Gateway pipeline, with a capacity of 525,000 barrels per day, will extend 715 miles from the oil sands at Bruderheim, Alberta, to storage tanks on the Pacific Ocean in Kitimat, British Columbia, where it will be shipped to Asian markets. Todd Nogier, a manager of West-ern Access communications for Enbridge, explained to WND in a telephone interview the nexus between the blocked Keystone XL Pipeline and the Canadian government’s decision to move forward with the Enbridge North-ern Gateway Project. “Canada exports some 2 million barrels of oil per day and currently the U.S. is the only export market

for Canadian oil,” Nogier said. “We recognize that domestic oil production in the U.S. is rising exponentially. This highlights for Canadian oil producers and for Canadians in general that we need to find markets beyond the United States. Right now, the highest margin markets for oil are in the Asian Pacific, and we are looking to access those markets for Cana-dian oil.” He affirmed the Chinese energy markets “are quite interested in Canadian crude.” Enbridge owns 50 percent of the Northern Gateway Project, with the remaining 50 percent split among several oil production company partners, including Canadian oil and gas company Nexen Inc. Nexen was taken over by China National Offshore Oil Corporation, CNOOC, a Chinese state-owned oil and natural gas giant, for an estimated $15.1 billion in 2013, as well as Chinese government-owned Sinopac Canada. Nogier further detailed the im-portance of the oil industry to Canada’s economy. “Canadians are becoming in-creasingly aware of the economic vulnerabilities in having only one export market,” he said. “The energy sector in Canada is a very meaningful piece of the Ca-nadian economy,” he said. “There are plans to expand Canadian oil production exponentially over the next 10 or 20 years, with estimates Canadian oil production will dou-ble. So, we need to find additional markets for Canadian oil.” Nogier emphasized the expansion of the Canadian crude oil business translates into revenue and jobs. “Over the next 15 years, there are estimates the Canadian oil sands will add some $2.1 trillion dol-lars to the Canadian economy,” he said. An estimated 900,000 additional jobs will be created in the Cana-dian economy over the next two

decades. “Oil is clearly Canada’s most valu-able export commodity,” he said. “We view the Northern Gateway as a nation-building infrastructure project.” Nogier detailed the regulatory hurdles the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project has surmounted to gain approval from the Canadian government. Prior to the federal government’s June 17 approval, Enbridge en-gaged in a joint review process consisting of a three-person tri-bunal that assisted the National Energy Board in the regulatory evaluation, he said. A series of 20 public hearings was held along the proposed pipeline route in Alberta and British Columbia. Nogier said the hearing process cul-minated with a Joint Review Panel that investigated all issues involved in the pipeline construction and operation, including environmental concerns. Some 80 experts were heard on various issues along with testimony from various stakehold-ers and the public. In December 2013, the Joint Re-view Panel recommended to the Canadian government that the project should be approved, subject to 209 conditions. “If we meet the 209 conditions, we will be given an operator’s license and we can go forward,” Nogier explained. The conditions range from environ-mental protection issues to require-ments for additional consultation with various stakeholder groups. On Sept. 11, 2007, WND was first to report on the decision in October 2006 of the Canadian minority gov-ernment, then under the direction of Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper, to launch the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative to prepare Canadian deep-water Pacific Ocean ports to facilitate the import and export of tanker and multi-modal container traffic in a “free trade gateway” between Asia and North America.

ISIS terrorists pose an “imminent” threat to the U.S. electric grid with the capacity to coordinate a devas-tating assault on our nation’s infra-structure, warned a leading home-land security and terrorism expert in a radio interview Sunday.

Dr. Peter Pry, a former CIA officer, is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both con-gressional advisory boards. He also served on the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, and the House Armed Services Committee. “There is an imminent threat from ISIS to the national electric grid and not just to a single U.S. city,” said Pry. Pry was speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s AM 970 The Answer. Outlining the threat, Pry recalled a leaked U.S. Federal Energy Regu-latory Commission report divulged this past March that coordinated terrorist attacks on just nine of the nation’s 55,000 electrical power substations could provoke coast-to-coast blackouts for up to 18 months. Such an attack would mirror the devastating impact of an elec-tromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack without the need for any nuclear device or delivery system. The chances of a major electrical outage across America are now surging. Get your autographed copy of “A Nation Forsaken” which probes this crucial issue. The congressional EMP Com-mission previously estimated that within 12 months of a nationwide blackout, upwards of 90 percent of the U.S. population could pos-sibly die from disease, lack of food and resources and larger societal breakdown. Speaking to Klein’s audience, Pry pointed specifically to the possibility of ISIS immediately hiring Mexican extremists such as the Knights Templar drug cartel, which last year successfully uti-lized guns and Molotov cocktails to attack numerous Mexican power stations, leaving 11 towns without electricity. “Now those guys are just across our southern border,” stated Pry. Pry continued: “That means that ISIS doesn’t have to actually come to the United States on those U.S.

passports. You know, Obama is always talking about how he’s got a phone. Well, ISIS has got a tele-phone, too. All they’ve got to do is contact the Knights Templar, wire these guys $10 million, I mean they’ll do anything for money. And say, ‘Hey, go across that open U.S. border and take out the electric grid in Arizona, or New Mexico, or Minnesota or New York. Or the entire nation.’” Pry surmised such an attack on the U.S. power grid “wouldn’t be difficult for them.” “There are … open-source com-puter models where you can figure out which are those nine critical transformer substations where if attacked would take down the whole national power grid,” he said. “So something like that could be arranged. It could happen tomor-row. It could happen next week.”

Dr. Peter Pry

Pry pointed out ISIS allies in al-Qaida last June attacked power lines in Yemen that left the entire nation without power for a day. He took issue with a statement last week from former deputy director of the CIA Mike Morell who said it would take ISIS two to three years to develop the capacity to carry out a 9/11-style attack. Morell stated that “over the long term – two and a half, three years – we need to worry about a 9/11-style attack by ISIS.” Countered Pry: “I don’t think that’s true at all. You know, be-cause they can hire these criminal gangs that are south of our porous border. Or criminal gangs that are already present here.” “We also have Muslim terror cells already in this country that would be willing to do anything for money and it’s very easy to attack the electrical grid,” he added. Pry also warned of rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea passing ISIS a nuclear device and delivery system, such as a SCUD missile, to launch an actual EMP attack.

After a lovely, homemade Mexican lunch, and a nice visit, we came away with a teaching schedule for the month of September. I contacted John and Paulina and the two young people from the childrens’ home changed their tickets and today they traveled down to Reynosa to study in the Seminary of the Cross.

So, I have crawled out from under the bed, and bit by bit I will begin to nibble on this mess that is our little house. My first project is to clear off this sofa. Of course, I have a pile of mail to finish. But, with no suitcase to pack, I have hope of getting it done and being able to find at least one more seat on the sofa.

Should a hurricane or other life-threatening, catastrophic weather event impact South Texas, illegal aliens occupying various shelters will be first in line to get “to safer ground,” a National Weather Ser-vice coordinator says.

At a meeting last week, emergency managers in the Rio Grande Val-ley region addressed the reality that, in addition to picking up the tab for putting the immigrants up, they have also accepted re-sponsibility for their safety. That means ensuring illegal aliens have a safe evacuation from temporary and permanent shelters during an emergency.

“You have extra sheltering areas and detention centers right here,” NWS Coordinator Barry Gold-smith told KRGV News. “And are they able to withstand the wind, are they able to withstand flood waters nearby to get humanitarian relief.”

In Event of Emergency, Illegals to be Evacuated Before Citizens

Adan SalazarPrison Planet.com

Goldsmith is worried that if a hur-ricane or other emergency hits, the evacuation of some 4,000 illegal aliens could be impeded by citizens also trying to reach safety.

One way to ensure the illegals remain safe is to evacuate them before the general population re-ceives evacuation orders, Valley city leaders have concluded.

“The entire Valley detention ar-eas will be evacuated first,” says Goldsmith. “In other words, before the public gets their mandatory evacuation, the plan is to get all these unaccompanied women and children out of the Valley and to safer ground.”

The city and federal officials say by getting unaccompanied alien women and children out first, they are trying to avoid a Hurricane Rita-type situation, where more than 100 people died during the mass exodus of 2.5 million people from the Houston area.

The story of David and Go-liath is a favorite of almost every child who has attended Sunday School. You remember the story. The giant, Goliath has given the armies of Israel a challenge. In-stead of the armies fighting, let Israel send out one person to fight him and the winner takes all. Not only were the armies of Israel reluctant to fight the Philistines, they had no one who was willing to risk his life fighting this enormous enemy

David, who was too young to be drafted into the military, was sent by his father to take some grub to his brothers on the front lines. While there he heard this over-sized Philistine cursing the God of Israel and issuing his challenge for someone to come and fight. David volunteered.

David had not training in warfare, no armor to wear, no sword or spear. His only experi-ence was that of watching and protecting his father’s flocks. He had used his sling to kill a lion and

Sen. Wayne Shaw

a bear which had tried to destroy the sheep. David knew the issue was not the size of the enemy, but size of his God. God is bigger than your fears. The other soldiers were afraid because Goliath was too large. David realized he was too big to miss. David went in the name of the Lord, trusting H im. “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,” David told the giant, “but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty. . . All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s.” (I Samuel 17:45-47)

Whatever you are facing today, remember God is bigger, God is stronger. The battle is the Lord’s.

Cruz fires up conservatives, says bomb Islamic State ‘back to the

Stone Age’

Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, a po-tential 2016 presidential candidate, made clear this weekend his foreign policy strategy for dealing with the militant group Islamic State: “bomb them back to the Stone Age.”

“They want to go back and reject modernity,” he said. “Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age.”

Cruz made his remarks Saturday in Dallas at a summit for Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the billionaire GOP donors Charles and David Koch.

The influential gathering of con-servatives also included speeches by a few other potential 2016 GOP White House candidates -- Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Cruz also staked out his position on such domestic issues as the U.S. border-illegal immigration crisis and the Affordable Care Act.

“In the year 2017, a Republican president in the Rose Garden is going to sign a bill repealing every word of ObamaCare,” he said.

Cruz joked about inviting President Obama to the southern border to see where thousands of unac-companied immigrant children have poured into the country. The president declined such an invita-tion from Perry.

“I figured out the only way there is a chance in heaven he might come (is if) I’m inviting him to come to a golf course,” Cruz said.

A crowd of more than 3,000 at a hotel ballroom serenaded him with calls of “Run Ted, Run.”

However, Cruz ignored direct questions about a presidential cam-paign when he met with reporters after the speech.

He told conservatives in the audi-ence, “Each of you is here because we are part of a grassroots fire that is sweeping this country. … We are building an army.”

On Friday, Perry and Paul pounced on Obama’s “we don’t have a strat-egy yet” comments earlier in the week regarding the violent militant faction of Islamic State attacking cities in Iraq.

“Yesterday, the president admit-ted he had no strategy to deal with ISIS,” Perry said, drawing hoots and hisses from a packed conven-tion hall. “The deepening chaos in Iraq, Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine is all

the clear and compelling evidence the world needs of a president one step behind, lurching from crisis to crisis.”

Paul fired up the audience by suggesting that Obama’s lack of leadership showed he’d been on the job too long.

Republicans criticizing Obama’s foreign policy is nothing new, but there are deepening divisions within the GOP over how to move forward.

The broader debate pits those who favor the GOP’s traditional muscular foreign policy -- a group that includes Perry and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio -- and those, like Paul and Cruz, who prefer a smaller international footprint. The so-called isolationist approach plays well with grassroots activists and a war-weary public, but wor-ries many Republican officials and donors who prefer an aggressive American role in world affairs.

The intra-party divisions largely weren’t much on display at the Americans for Prosperity event, but will become clearer as the crowded group of possible presidential can-didates tries to distinguish them-selves in the coming months.

Pence didn’t mention Obama’s comments. He told the Associ-ated Press afterward only that “the president of the United States is the commander of chief of our armed forces. I wouldn’t want to prejudge what his military advisers counsel.”

New Al Qaeda Magazine Hints an Attack on US Is Imminent

By Leah Barkoukis

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Penin-sula’s media branch is out with a new English language magazine, Palestine-Betrayal of the Guilty Conscience Al-Malahem. The new publication, a spin-off of Inspire, is calling on fellow Muslims to wage acts of terror in the United States and Britain.

Fox News reports:A new English-language Al Qaeda magazine features a how-to article on making car bombs and suggests terror targets in the United States, including casinos in Las Vegas, oil tankers and military colleges, and implies that an attack is im-minent. […]

“The timeline concludes with the date 201?’ and blank spaces and question marks for the photo and information of the next attack -- implying that it is coming soon,” said MEMRI Executive Director Steve Stalinsky.

There is a suggested list of targets for lone-wolf, or individually ex-

ecuted, terror attacks, including New York’s Times Square, casinos and night clubs in Las Vegas, oil tankers and trains, the Georgia Mil-itary College, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and General Atomics defense contrac-tor in San Diego.

“This recipe gives you the ability to make a car bomb even in countries with tight security and surveil-lance,” one article reads, before providing a “shopping list” of sup-plies needed to make such a bomb, including cooking gas, oxygen gas, a barometer, decoration lamps and matches.

There is also a list of targets in Brit-ain including a military academy and the Marks and Spencers chain of department stores. The magazine calls for the stores to be hit on Fri-day during prayers so that Muslims won’t be affected. […]

In a nine-page spread entitled, “How to make a bomb in the kitch-en of your mom,” the magazine details a do-it-yourself, illustrated

guide on assembling a pressure-cooker bomb similar to the ones used in the Boston Marathon bombings.

“My Muslim brother, before you start reading the instructions, re-member that this type of operation if prepared well and an appropriate target is chosen and Allah decrees success for you, history will never forget it. It will be recorded as a crushing defeat on the enemies of Islam,” the article says.

So what are the chances of an attack on the homeland? U.S. intelligence officials are currently investigat-ing the increased likelihood, Fox reports, but ISIS has already issued several threats against America, including taunting tweets that show they’re already here.

An attack on the U.S. and other Western countries “will come probably sooner rather than later,” retired Gen. Michael Hayden said on CNN Sunday morning.

Why ‘Holly Hobby Lobby’ Changed Her Mind About Owning Guns

By Kelsey HarknessHolly Fisher, a mom of three from West Virginia, never thought she would be a gun owner. But when her husband joined the military in 2006, that all changed. Now, almost 10 years later, Fisher calls herself an avid supporter of the Second Amendment. She has attracted some fierce critics for posting photos of herself holding legal fire-arms, including a pink hand-gun. She is unapologetic. “My husband fought for those rights,” she told The Daily Signal. This summer, after using Twitter to showcase her pro-life position and support for the Supreme Court’s June 30 Hobby Lobby decision, Fisher became notorious for her outspoken conservative views, garnering almost 50,000 followers and the nickname “Holly Hobby Lobby.” Her husband, David Fisher, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, served with the Army’s 4-23 Infan-try Division. A native of Charleston, W. Va., Holly grew up attending the same church as her future husband. The couple got married in 2006, when David was in basic training. Later that year, he was deployed to Washington state. They packed up their lives to move across the country. At first, Holly was “absolutely” against keeping a pistol in the house, she told The Daily Signal during an exclusive interview while in Washington last week to speak at the Bloggers Briefing at The Heritage Foundation. “I thought we were going to acci-dently shoot ourselves,” she said. But after living on the West Coast with no family or friends, Holly agreed to go to the range with her husband. She was 22.

I hesitated for several minutes before pulling the trigger the first

time, but after I did, I learned more and more, and started realizing guns aren’t scary. What changed her mind, she said, was learning how to safely store and use a gun. “Education is key,” David said.

“A vehicle is a dangerous tool if you don’t know how to use it properly.” Today, Holly and David own fire-arms ranging from handguns to semi-automatic rifles. “My favorites are the AR-15 and the .40-caliber handgun,” Holly said.

David bought the couple a safe that requires their thumbprints to open. “That’s the only way you can get into our guns,” Holly said. “With our thumbprints.” Although some of her online detractors tell Holly it’s irrespon-

sible to own guns when the Fishers have small children, she said the firearms gave her the peace of mind and protection she needed while her husband was serving in Afghanistan. The Fisher kids: Jenna (8/10/11), Norah (8/14/13),

and Ruston (9/15/09) “I think it’s irresponsible to not have guns in your house when you have kids. because it is your job to protect your kids,” she said, adding:I hope the need never arises for me to use my gun on an intruder or someone trying to harm my family, but I’m prepared, I’m ready and I know how to do it.

On and Off the course!When he died, he went to Hell. His eternal punishment was to serve as a caddie for the Devil. This was not your normal golf bag toting duty. The Devil plays with a hot hand….oven heated golf clubs and balls.Just as the guy is prepared to caddie for the first time in Hell, he sees a former playing partner, a hideously ugly man (and game to match), on the first tee with a beautiful woman.The eternally damned caddie mut-ters out loud, “Why do I have to suffer like this when that guy gets to spend time with a gorgeous woman like that?”The Devil hears him and says, “Who do you think you are to ques-tion that woman’s punishment?” Keep it in the Middle !

disintegration of the black family unit.

To find an answer to that question we need look no further than a federal program called Aid to Fami-lies With Dependent Chil-dren (AFDC), the first of two major tipping points in black history following the Emancipation Proclamation. AFDC was passed in 1935 by a Democrat-controlled Congress with a 72-23 ma-jority in the Senate, a 322-103 majority in the House, and signed into law by a Democrat president, Frank-lin D. Roosevelt. In order for a family to be eligible for AFDC payments, the family must have had at least one dependent child, under age 18, who was “deprived of financial support from one of their parents due to the parent’s death, continued absence (emphasis added), or incapacity.” In other words, if two able-bodied parents lived in the home the family was denied AFDC benefits.

Nothing… not drugs, not poverty, not urban decay, nor lack of educational op-portunities… has contributed more to the disintegration of the black family unit in America than the restrictions of the AFDC program. As an unintended consequence of AFDC, marriage was discouraged, fathers were forced out of their homes, and single-parent welfare mothers found they could increase their monthly in-come by simply having more babies. As a result, we now have a society in which three out of four black babies are born out of wedlock, and where black mothers, unable to discipline their fatherless children, find so many of their young men either imprisoned, addicted to drugs, or the victims of gang violence.

Far too many young black men are like Michael Brown’s friend, Dorian John-son, who told the press that his friend was shot to death by a white police officer as he walked toward the officer with his hands in the air. When he gets before a grand jury, under oath, Johnson may have a different story to tell. However, Johnson’s 15 minutes of fame may cost him dearly. When police ran a background check on him they found that he was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant in Jefferson City, Missouri. In that case, Johnson was arrested for theft, lied about his identity, and failed to appear in court on his trial date. How will such young men ever be able to enter the work force as reliable and valued employ-ees? By their own actions, they have thrown away any chance of ever realizing the American Dream. How would they answer that ques-tion found on most job appli-cations, which asks, “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?”

The second major tipping point in black his-tory was the 1954 Brown v.

Board of Education decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, striking down the “separate but equal” concept in public education, followed closely by the War on Poverty of the Kennedy-Johnson era. It was then that Democrats resigned themselves to the notion that their century-old campaign to oppress blacks through violence and threats of violence was at an end. Instead, they found it po-litically expedient to simply buy the allegiance of black people with funds from the public treasury.

Accordingly, the Ken-nedy and Johnson adminis-trations, with a Democrat-controlled Congress, enacted a vast array of social welfare programs designed to mol-lify blacks and to capture their votes for Democrat candidates. At that juncture, blacks had two well-defined paths to choose from: 1) They could choose what con-servatives and Republicans offered: equal opportunities in jobs and education, hard work, and perseverance… the time-honored road to the American Dream, or 2) They could choose the “free lunch” that Democrats of-fered. Unfortunately, under the self-defeating leadership of race hustlers such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, blacks entered into a “devils bargain” with the Demo-cratic Party, choosing the “free lunch” alternative.

It was pure cynicism on the part of white Demo-crats. In his well-document-ed book, Inside the White House, historian Ronald Kessler quotes Lyndon John-son as he justified his support for civil rights legislation to two Democratic governors on board Air Force One. Johnson is quoted as saying, “I’ll have those n*****s vot-ing Democratic for the next two hundred years.”

The only price blacks had to pay for all the free money, food stamps, subsi-dized housing, free health-care, and preferential treat-ment in jobs and higher education was to pull the Democrat lever on Election Day. Since that time, blacks have consistently given 90-95 percent of their votes to Democrats. Yet, 61 years after Brown v. Board of Education, and in spite of endless Democratic prom-ises of “better times,” blacks have seen little social and economic progress.

So we should not be surprised that, after many decades of being told by liberals and Democrats that they are “victims” of rich whites and business owners, blacks sometimes throw tan-trums like spoiled children. Frankly, I’d be angry too if someone made the same promises to me, over and over again, for a half century or more, and I could find no evidence that they’d deliv-ered on those promises. So is it any wonder that, because of all the broken promises and unfulfilled expectations, we now find a sub-culture in

which far too many blacks, by their own choices, fail to take advantage of the educational and job oppor-tunities available to them? Instead, we find millions of urban blacks consumed by a seething anger and a sense of crushing hopelessness.

If black parents, at the time of the two major tipping points describe above, had insisted that their children do their homework every night; that they be in school every day; that they always behave themselves, both inside and outside the classroom; and that, once they’ve entered the workforce, they always give their employers at least eight hours of their best ef-fort in exchange for eight hours pay, African-Ameri-cans would be far down the road, socially and economi-cally, from where they are today. But that’s not what happened. Instead, blacks have wasted more than half a century of progress cradled in the smothering embrace of liberals and Democrats who were interested in them only for the electoral majorities they helped produce on Elec-tion Day.

Because of their fawn-ing obeisance to the liberal cause, blacks have dug a hole for themselves that will be all but impossible to climb out of. To do so would first require that they have what it takes to admit that their political allegiances have been misplaced. But they’re not likely to do that anytime soon. Instead, we find them doubling down on their sup-port for Democrats. And while they’ve paid a heavy price for their fealty to the Democrat Party, forfeiting their political independence and their ability to think for themselves, along with much of their pride, their dignity, and their self respect, they should not be holding their breath waiting for Republi-cans to enter into a bidding war with Democrats for their hearts, their minds, and their votes. Unlike Democrats, Republicans have a fondness for honesty and integrity in politics, and, unlike Demo-crats, they will never adopt bribery as a strategic element of their national platform.

By promising them cradle-to-grave economic security, Lyndon Johnson promised that he’d have blacks voting Democratic for the next two hundred years. If that’s true, and if blacks fail to get new leadership willing to speak the truth to them, they will have another 150 years of empty promises to endure. Unfortunately, we have a black man in the White House who seems to think that it is his job, not to unite the races, but to find new and creative ways of dividing Americans along racial and economic lines. So long as blacks continue to believe that he is on their side and that he is trying to do what’s best for them, they’ll just have to go on being angry.

How U.S. weapons made it to ISISResearch paper addresses ‘recoilless rifles, anti-tank weapons, missiles’

By Aaron Klein

A newly released research paper from the West Point counterterrorism center cites U.S. weapons being sent to Syrian rebels that now may be in the hands of ISIS.

The West Point paper, re-leased in the August edition of the academy’s CTC Sen-tinel magazine, is entitled, “ I S I L ’ s P o l i t i c a l -M i l i t a r y Power.” I S I L , o r the Islamic State of Iraq and the Le-vant, is now known as Is-lamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. The West Point paper re-lates that field reports show ISIS utilized “recoilless rifles, shoulder-fired anti-tank weapons, and, less fre-quently, guided anti-tank missiles.” A footnote in the report ex-plains how ISIS likely ob-tained those weapons. It cites a March 8, 2014, post-ing entitled, “ISIS Deploys Croatian Weapons Against The Iraqi Army,” from the Brown Moses Blog. It’s been described as big-ger than Watergate or Iran-Contra, and the details of the Benghazi terror attack scandal all can be found inside “The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary Don’t Want You to Know,” autographed by New York Times bestselling author Aaron Klein.

According to that blog post, Saudi Arabia in early 2013 “began smuggling weapons it had purchased from the Croatian government through Jordan to the south of Syria,

to forces loyal to the Free Syrian Army.” The blog noted videos sur-faced on the Internet in March 2013 of some of those weapons being brandished by jihadist organizations, including the al-Qaida-linked Ahrar al-Sham.

Meanwhile, the West Point paper documented numerous Syrian rebel extremist groups have joined ISIS. Many of those groups were reportedly aided by Arab countries to fight in Syria. Asks the West Point paper: “What makes ISIL more appealing to foreign fighters than other jihadist groups? Is it because ISIL is more wel-coming of foreign fighters, or is it because other groups pre-fer to rely on Syrian fighters rather than foreigners? It is also possible that a new wave of foreign fighters will be at-tracted to ISIL’s unbounded enthusiasm and seemingly unstoppable ‘victories.’” Lost in the report is the al-leged U.S. involvement in arming Syrian rebels now reportedly joining ISIS.

According to the New York Times, the CIA started help-ing Arab governments and Turkey in obtaining and ship-ping weapons to the rebels fighting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.The Times reported on March 25, 2013, that this covert aid

to the Syrian rebels started in early 2012. The Times reported U.S. intelligence officers aided Arab governments obtaining weapons “including a large procurement from Croatia.” The Times reported in its March 2013 article the weap-

ons airlifts t o S y r i a began on a small scale and contin-ued inter-m i t t e n t l y through the fall of 2012, expanding into a steady

and much heavier flow later that year. The Times reported that from offices at “secret locations,” American intelligence of-ficers “helped the Arab gov-ernments shop for weapons . . . and have vetted rebel commanders and groups to determine who should receive the weapons as they arrive.” The CIA declined to com-ment to the Times on the shipments to Syria or its role in them. The Times quoted a former American official as saying that David H. Petraeus, the CIA director until November 2012, had been instrumental in helping set up an aviation network to fly the weapons to Syria. The paper said Petraeus “had prodded various countries to work together” on the plan. Petraeus did not return mul-tiple emails from the Times asking for comment.

It was nine years ago today that Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans. The storm itself was not unprecedented, but its path, subsequent storm surge and the city’s shoddy civil engineering and poor organization created a disaster of proportions unseen in modern America. Aside from the human cost, the storm caused more than $100 billion in damage. Following the devastation, many people stepped up to help, including over 70 countries. Kuwait made the largest pledge of $500 million, while Qatar and the United Arab Emirates each made donations of $100 million. Israel Defense Forces even traveled to the Gulf to deliver food, diapers, beds and blankets. A small team of Israeli divers and physicians also provided assistance by discovering victims, administering first aid and rescuing abandoned pets.

Unsung canine heroes: Dogs that deserve our thanks... By Robin Ganzert

Guide Dog Xxon of Bloomfield, Connecticut has given Air Force Sergeant Michael Malarsie the chance to live a normal life after being blinded in a horrific explo-sion in Kandahar, Afghanistan that killed four of his fellow ser-vicemen.AHA

It’s estimated that 83 million dogs reside in our country, up from 68 million in 2000. Man’s best friend has enjoyed a role like no other companion animal as now more homes include a furred, four-legged family member than ever be-fore. For thousands of years, dogs have been man’s best friend. They have comforted us, protected us, and given us their unconditional love. It’s time we paid tribute to the dogs in our lives.

I’ve been committed to rais-ing awareness for working dogs. These unsung heroes perform lifesaving services in our hometowns every day – as guide and hearing dogs, law enforcement dogs, therapy dogs, service dogs, arson dogs and military dogs. Here are just a few of the heroic hounds who deserve our thanks:

Arson Dog Kai from San Antonio, Texas is a six-year-old black lab rescued from a shelter who has been involved in more than 200 fire investiga-tions, putting the bad guys in jail for committing arson.

Xena the Warrior Puppy from Johns Creek, Georgia had a one-percent chance of survival when she arrived at a local ani-mal shelter. She changed the life of a little boy with autism whose world was closed off

before she arrived. The boy now sings and chats with his hero dog.

Guide Dog Xxon of Bloom-field, Connecticut has given Air Force Sergeant Michael Malarsie the chance to live a normal life after being blinded in a horrific explosion in Kan-dahar, Afghanistan that killed four of his fellow servicemen.

Law Enforcement Dog Kota of Winchester, Virginia was injured in an eight-foot fall while responding to a burglary in process, but fought on to help his fellow officers finish the call despite severe fractures and injuries.

Military Working Dog Chaney of Waverly, Iowa is an eight-year-old lab who retired from the Marines after multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as an IED detection dog, saving un-counted lives. In his retirement he serves as an inspiration to disabled veterans and children with autism.

Search and Rescue Dog Bretagne of Cypress, Texas started her career deploying to the World Trade Center after 9/11 to search for survivors.

Service Dog JJ Krawczyk of Apex, North Carolina provides lifesaving alerting detection for a little girl named KK who

suffers from a rare condition, keeping her safe and allowing her to attend school.

Therapy Dog Susie of High Point, North Carolina suffered unimaginable cruelty, but sur-vived and now advocates for anti-cruelty laws.

These hero dogs of summer join America’s previous win-ners of the American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards, such as Elle the Pit Bull, a therapy dog who also helps

children learn to read and breaks down hurtful negative stereotypes about her breed.

Military Working Dog Gabe, who saved uncounted soldiers’ lives in the desert sands of Iraq by sniffing out caches of potentially deadly weapons; and Roselle, who bravely and calmly led her owner, Michael Hingson, down 1,463 stairs in the smoldering World Trade Center on that tragic day in September more than a decade ago.

Clearly a dog is man’s best friend.

As you reflect on these stories of hero dogs, take another look at your four-legged friend. He’s pretty deserving of an entire day in his honor.

So how are you going to cel-ebrate Fido’s big day? What dog doesn’t like a hike in the woods, a new toy, and an extra bacon treat?

And dog’s best friend (that’s you) can do even more: Give an adorable pooch a second chance at life by adopting from a local animal shelter.

If you already have a dog, de-velop a disaster preparedness plan so that your precious pup is protected in times of crisis. Schedule a wellness check-up with your local veterinarian. Donate to rescue groups and shelters so that more dogs can find forever, loving homes.

After all, dogs make us hu-mans better. Given the state of humanity, we could use the help.
