President Trump defended his decision to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, claiming that it was for attracting business investment.  Trump claims he wasn't thinking in terms of elitist or globalist.  He claimed he was thinking in terms of lots of people desiring to invest lots of money.  Trump said he noticed that after he attended the World Economic Forum, the news coverage was focused on globalists, the economic elite, and the private planes.  He claimed that his purpose wasn't about what the news coverage was about.  He said it was about coming to America, investing your money, creating jobs, and companies coming in.  Click on the above link to read the rest of the story.

Kentucky School Shooting

Two students were killed Tuesday and eighteen others were wounded when a 15-year old boy armed with a handgun opened fire inside Marshall County High School, which is located in Benton, KY.  Terrified students ditched their backpacks and scrambled to get away and within minutes of the shots being fired, sheriffs' deputies were inside the school disarming the student and taking him into custody.  Bailey Nicole Holt, 15, died at the scene.  Preston Ryan Cope, 15, later died in a trauma center with injuries to the brain.  Sixteen of the injured were wounded by gunfire and four others were hurt while trying to escape, according to state police.  Three of the victims were listed in critical condition Tuesday evening at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Authorities declined to identify the suspect or discuss a possible motive.  Police Chief Richard Sanders stated the shooter would likely face two counts of murders and numerous "attempted" accounts of murder.  The FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also joined the investigation.  Click on the above link to read the rest of the story.

Franklin Graham: Trump 'Defends the Christian Faith More Than Any President in My Lifetime'

Franklin Graham
 Rev. Franklin Graham

Commenting on Donald Trump's first year in office, Rev. Franklin Graham stated that the Left and the media have attacked Trump since day one when he went into office.  Graham said they want to destroy him, but the economy's tremendous is "benefitting" everyone, and that it's "refreshing" who is not afraid to say "Jesus" and isn't afraid to end his cabinet meetings in "the name of Jesus."  Graham says that liberals hate the name of Christ and that Trump has been defending Christians.  Graham stated that Trump defends the Christian faith more than any president in his lifetime.  He mentioned how the Left has been vociferously attacking Trump.  He said the Left hates the name of Jesus.  Graham mentioned Trump isn't perfect.  He said there isn't a President Perfect.  But he said Trump is trying to fix the nation with the tax cuts, for example. 

I agree with Graham's assessment of Trump.  I personally don't believe Trump's a Christian, but he does support the Christian community and supports Christian values, which is much more than Hillary Clinton would do if she were president.  The Left wants to do everything in their power to expunge the name of Christ in our society.  Click on the above link to read the full story from CNSNews.com.

The 45th Anniversary of Roe vs. Wade


President Trump to Pro-Life Marchers: Abortion Law Has to Change

It's been 45 years since that ignominious Roe vs. Wade decision.  Abortion has definitely been one of the greatest tragedies in our nation since abortion was legalized nationwide on January 22, 1973.  Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun wrote that decision that year.  Millions of unborrn children have unmercifully slaughtered as the result of that dreadful law.  President Trump was addressing the issue via satellite from the Rose Garden stating that every life is sacred, every life is a precious gift from God.  I'm very thankful we have a president that's been pro-life so far in his administration and I hope it remains that way.  Click on the link from the Breitbart article to read what he said in his address.  I have a YouTube clip from Pat Boone recorded probably in 1983.  It's very heart-touching.  He speaks of the importance of the value of a young child's life.  This video clip will move you emotionally.

Schumer's Possible Shutdown

Schumer's Possible Shutdown

Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA) called out Senate Democrats led by Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and members of the Republican Establishment saying that they support placing the interests of the illegal aliens over the American citizens.  Friday evening, Senate Democrats along with a handful of pro-amnesty Republicans such as Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) voted against a spending bill to prevent a government shutdown because it didn't include amnesty for at least 3.5 million illegal aliens and the illegal alien parents.  The amnesty plan, by the "Gang of Six" which includes, Jeff Flake, (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Richard Durbin (D-IL), Cory Gardener (R-CO), Michael Bennett (D-CO), and Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) would give a pathway of U.S. citizenship of at least 3.5 million illegal aliens who are eligible and enrolled in the President Obama created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) , while their parents, who originally brought them to the country illegally, would be allowed to permanently remain in the U.S. 

If between now and midnight if nothing changes and there's no budget resolution, then there will be a shutdown and it will be a result of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats.  There would have to be 60 votes to keep the government funded.

GOP Senators Send Trump Amnesty or Shutdown Threat

GOP Senators Send Trump Shutdown or Amnesty

Pro-amnesty GOP senators are working hand-in-glove with Democrats to block a government budget until President Trump agrees to break his campaign promise and grant amnesty to millions of wage-lowering illegal immigrants.  Both Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said they wouldn't allow funding for the Pentagon until Trump approves an amnesty for illegals saying, "To you defense hawks, the only way you're going to get your money is to deal with immigration rationally.  Graham urged the defense-minded legislators to accept amnesty in exchange for a defense boost.  Speaking of blackmail, this is definitely an example of blackmail on the part of RINO Senators such as Graham and Flake. 

It's definitely imperative that in this year's midterm elections, we vote out all the GOP Senators and Representatives that are up for re-election this year.  Many GOP aren't running this year for re-election.  Senator Lindsey Graham won't be up for re-election until 2020.  It's time for Senator Graham to switch to the Democratic party.  That's all he is.  He's another Democratic punk.  Click on the above link to read the rest of the story.

The Trump administration on Tuesday informed the U.N. Relief and Works Agency which ministers to so-called Palestinian refugees, that it is providing tens of millions of dollars less to its annual pledge to the agency.  The United States has been the single largest donor to the UNRWA for decades.  In years past, the U.S. has contributed some 30% of UNRWA's total income.  Click on the above link from Breitbart to read the rest of the story.

How Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday Became a Holiday

How Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday Became a Holiday


Image result for martin luther king jr. dayDr. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968)

The push to make Martin Luther King Jr. a holiday took 32 years, a lot of campaigning, and guest appearances by Ted Kennedy, Stevie Wonder, and the National Football League. 

Dr. King's birthday was officially approved as a federal holiday.  He was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta.  The King holiday is always observed the third Monday every January.  By 2000, all fifty states recognized Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a government holiday.  It wasn't an easy task to make that happen.  The King Center in Atlanta gives a detailed chronology on how the efforts, shortly after King died, to make it a holiday, wasn't an easy task for supporters whether it be in Congress or the states.  Hence, there was a twofold battle to recognize the holidays--the federal government and the states. 

Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) introduced the first motion to make Martin Luther King Jr. a holiday four days after King's assassination in Memphis.  It took 11 years later in 1979 for the resolution to come up for a vote in Congress.  The bill needed a two-thirds majority to pass, but it fell five votes short by a 252-133 count, despite a strong support from the King Center, then President Carter, and members of Congress in both houses.  The holiday supporters regrouped and re-intensified their efforts.  Musician Stevie Wonder helped in 1981 by singing the song "Happy Birthday" to promote the holiday. 

The King Center kept up its efforts with a march on Washington, with Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s wife, 500,000 people, along with Stevie Wonder, presented a petition signed by six million people to House Leader Tip O'Neill.  The House took up the bill in 1983 and it passed by 53 votes with help from House Speaker O'Neill and House Majority Leader Jim Wright.  Republicans Jack Kemp and Newt Gingrich gave speeches supporting the holiday.  However, passing the bill in the Senate would be contentious because then Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) was opposed to it.  He started a filibuster and presented a 400-page file accusing Dr. King of being a communist.  Senator Kennedy criticized Helms and Senator Patrick Moynihan called it filth and threw it on the floor.  Despite Helms, the bill passed the Senate by 12 votes with South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond supporting the bill.  President Reagan signed the bill in November 1983 and the first King holiday was celebrated in 1986.

It took longer for the 50 states to approve the holiday.  By 1986, 17 states had already approved the holiday.  There was strong resistance in Arizona to pass the holiday.  The fight between state legislators came to a head when the King holiday was put up for Arizona voter referendum in 1990.  Entertainers started protesting and boycotting the state.  The NFL threatened to move the 1993 Superbowl from Tempe if the referendum was defeated.  The King holiday lost in a two-part voter referendum and the NFL retaliated by moving the Superbowl to Southern California costing the state $500 million in revenue.  Arizona voters approved the King holiday two years later.  Click on the above link to read the rest of the article.

Video: Ingraham Warns Trump to "Expect a Political Revolt From the Base

Video: Ingraham Warns Trump to "Expect a Political Revolt From the Base"
Video: Ingraham Warns Trump To ‘Expect a Political Revolt From the Base'

Fox News anchor and radio talk show host Laura Ingraham warned Wednesday evening that if President Trump fails to follow through on his promise to the American people to build a real border wall and all the promises he made to the American people about illegal immigration, then his base will revolt against him.  Ingraham stated she had been hearing from Trump supporters and that they weren't happy about implementing amnesty for all DACA recipients. 

She stated that the President has to remain loyal to his supporters and the agenda that he ran upon in the 2016 election that united the American people behind him.  She said that Trump needs to be willing to walk away from a bad deal like President Reagan did with Soviet Leader Gorbachev in Reykjavik in 1987.  She said the move to cement the status of illegal immigrants in this country benefits the Establishment Republicans who desire "cheap labor" and the Democrats who desire "new voters."  Both Democrats and Republicans are trying to force Trump's hand into this deal to separate Trump from his base and to break the spirit of the nationalist movement.  The Democrats also desire this bill to pass so they can have "supermajorities" in various key states.  Click on the above link to listen to the video.

Tucker Carlson on Trump's Comment Concerning Outhouse Countries


Tucker Carlson on Trump's Comments Concerning Outhouse Comments

Image result for tucker carlson on trump's comments

Tucker Carlson on his Fox News show reacted to the comments that President Trump made the other day about "outhouse" countries such as Haiti.  That's not the actual term he used for countries like that but I'm not going to use the word that Trump used.  Another phrase appropriate would be "Third World" countries.  Trump made these comments in private.  Trump asked why America doesn't receive immigrants from places that one would desire to visit while on vacation, such as Norway, which is a developed and rich country according to U.N. standards?  He said that an awful lot of immigrants come from countries that are dangerous, aren't nice, are corrupt, dirty, and are poor and that's the main reason those immigrants are coming into this country and said we would too if we lived there.

Carlson stated that the comments Trump made is something most Americans would agree with.  I myself concur with what Trump stated.  Prior to the change in our immigration laws starting in 1965, America took immigrants from countries of European stock, mostly western European countries.  Our country had strict guidelines in regards to receiving immigrants.  Today, that's considered racist by our elected elite in power.  However, it makes sense to scrutinize the type of people you allow into your country.  Countries that are hotbeds of terrorism and those that have all types of troubles can be a gamble concerning national security to admit those type of people into our country.  Most immigrants from generations ago had to come through Ellis Island in New York to be examined for they were admitted into this country.  It just makes sense.  It makes even more sense today in regards to the terror problems that take place around the world.

Poll: Oprah Beats Trump 48-38 With Likely Voters in 2020 Election

Poll: Oprah Beats 48-38 With Likely Voters in 2020 Race
Collage of President Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey
President Trump stated that he liked Oprah Winfrey and stated that he didn't believe she would run for president in 2020, when he spoke with reporters on Tuesday.  He expressed confidence that if Oprah were to run in 2020, he would win and that it would be a lot of fun running in a race against her.  According to a Rasmussen Reports Survey on Tuesday, 48% of likely voters would choose entertainment mogul Winfrey over President Trump.  38% would choose Trump.  An important note, an additional 14% of voters would be undecided between the two.  Buzz surrounding a presidential run for Oprah started after her speech on the Golden Globes on Sunday evening.  CNN's Brian Stelter says that two of Winfrey's close friends claim she is "actively thinking" about a presidential run.  A March 2017 Quinnipiac poll found Oprah with a 52% favorable rating and a 72% favorable rating amongst Democrats.  Despite the strong popularity return for the entertainment mogul, 69% of respondents in a March 2017 poll stated she shouldn't run for president.  Click on the above link to read the rest of the story.

Mark Levin on Trump's Immigration Tack: Complete Surrender


Mark Levin on Trump's Immigration Tack: Complete Surrender

Image result for mark levin on trump's immigration bill

Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Mark Levin criticized President Trump for his remarks earlier yesterday at a meeting directed at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).  Trump stated he would sign whatever was handed to him and not "nitpick."  Levin rightfully points out that is surrender on Trunp's part.  Levin stated, "That's no art of the deal."  "That's complete surrender."  President Trump said that in front of the media, the Democrats, etc.  He stated that it would be a "bill of love".  What a play with words.  However, it amounts to nothing but amnesty.  Now Trump today said he wouldn't sign a DACA bill unless it included a border wall.  If he's already compromised on his campaign promise he made in 2016, what makes me think he's going to end chain migration and build a border wall.  The globalists that control our politicians on both sides of the aisle believe in amnesty, chain migration, and no border wall.  I'm afraid all of Trump's talk of a border wall is bogus with the statement he made yesterday.  Ann Coulter rightly pointed out that the comments Michael Wolff made in his book about President Trump Fire and Furty, won't hurt President Trump half as bad as his lovefest with the Democrats and Republicans in supporting DACA.  Trump's compromise on DACA could hurt him in his stance with his base that supported him in 2016.

Franklin Graham Calls on Americans to "Wake Up" to Evil of Abortion


Franklin Graham Calls on Americans to "Wake Up" To Evils of Abortion

Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham, son of prominent evangelist Billy Graham, has come out swinging after Ohio abortion forces erected a series of billboards praising the practice, calling on Americans to 'wake up" to the evil of abortion.  The largest abortion clinic in Ohio, referred to as "Preterm" has embarked on a crusade to sway public opinion toward a greater acceptance of abortion.  The group posted 16 billboards around the greater Cleveland area emblazoned with messages like, "Abortion is life-saving" "Abortion is safer than childbirth", "Abortion is Sacred", and "Abortion is a blessing." 

In a series of posts on social media, Franklin Graham has blasted rhe campaign, calling those slogans lies and invited Americans not to lose their sense of right and wrong.  Graham was citing the Biblical prophet Isaiah saying "woe to those who call evil good and good evil."  That's what the Ohio campaign on abortion is.  It's referring to evil as good and good as evil.  He stated that calling abortion "life-saving" and "sacred" is saying evil is good.  The pro-abortion campaign falls hard on the passage of a new Ohio law which prohibits the selective killing of babies with Down's Syndrome.  In late December Ohio Governor John Kasich signed the "Down Syndrome Non-Discrimination Act" to protect children with Down's Syndrome from becoming victims of abortion.  I don't agree much with Gov. John Kasich these days but he is right in signing that bill. 

January 22nd will be the 45th anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision the U.S. Supreme Court handed down many years ago.  We need to remember those that have died needlessly in the hands of an abortion doctor that day.  What a great tragedy to our nation!

Smart Voters Also Don't Desire RINO's Representing Them, Either

Trump: Why Would Smart Voters Want to Put Democrats in Congress

On New Year's Eve, President Trump wrote: Why would smart voters vote for Democrats in 2018 when they continue to benefit from strong borders, a stronger economy, as well as the destruction of ISIS?  I will admit any voter with a grain of sense within them would not desire to vote for the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, for example.  Those types of Democrats are pure Marxists.   The GOP, on the other hand, are fiscal socialists.  There's not much difference between them and the Democrats.  Last year in 2017 we've had all kinds of media coverage of "Russian collusion" stating that President Trump colluded with Russia to make sure that Hillary was defeated in 2016.  That's garbage.  However, I believe both the GOP and the Democrats have been conspiring against President Trump since before he took oath of office last year.  The Republicans have done nothing except stifle Trump's agenda from moving forward such as the repeal of Obamacare and the building of a border wall.  The GOP Congress did pass "tax cuts" but that isn't true tax reform.  True tax reform is abolishing the graduated tax system by eliminating all the tax categories.  What should be instituted is a flat tax where every taxpayer pay the same percentage.  How effective the tax cuts will be only time will tell. 

President Trump, you need to understand that the GOP isn't for you any more than the Democrats are.  They are all looking for the opportunity to place your head on the platter.  The Republican elite is just as much opposed to you as the Democrats are in Washington.  I have no use for the Paul Ryan's Kevin McCarthy's, Jeff Flakes, John McCain's, Bob Corker's and the like.  Smart voters don't have any desire to place Democrats in power in Washington.  However, smart voters have no desire to elect and re-elect RINO's to Congress.  Both political parties are in collusion with one another to destroy this country and if you can't see that, then you're blind.  We need you as president to be the leader of our country and stand up against those that desire to enact policies that are for the destruction of our country.  Anything that doesn't fall under the umbrella of God, Country, and the Constitution is a menace to our country.  We can't stand for that.  Let's hope that we'll have a huge GOP primary to vote out those Republican incumbents that are running for re-election this year in both the House and Senate.
