Bernie Sanders, this will never be a Socialist Country!

Bernie Sanders, this will never be a Socialist country,  whether YOU like it or not!

There was something that struck me the other day (Feb. 26, 2019), as I was watching "The Five" on Fox News, as I always do (every day that it is on, as long as my DVR recorder is behaving). I remember the days when I was young, and there was only the network news, and no talk radio or the internet, to inform us of how horrible the world is around us... Mostly war (Viet Nam), natural disasters, assassinations, and anti-war protests, would make the newscasts. But, somehow, I wasn't indoctrinated into the understanding of the way those on the left wanted me to believe.

Somehow, and thankfully, I didn't ever believe that Communism or Socialism was the answer to MY problems! I was fortunate to have met some very sincere people in my late 20's that taught me about Free Enterprise, and to always have a desire to live free. Financially free.  No, not the kind of living "free" that Bernie Sanders, (and many more Democrats who are running for President, that are on the far left), are telling us that they will do for us. Wait, though... That is what they would do TO us!

Not allowing people to take advantage of this great freedom that we now have, to be what you want to be, by hard work, is extremely dangerous. The United States of America is truly one of the few places on Earth where people actually have an equal opportunity to succeed, to get a great education, to serve their fellow human beings on a voluntary basis, and even to be elected to office with very minimal qualifications. Just take away the motivation to work hard to get ahead, and what do you get? Bernie Bergers from garbage trucks, maybe?

In the first part of this segment from the show, they show a video clip of Bernie Sanders going on about basic human rights (to about everything, which is probably already available across this country). A note to the Democrat Party: So, what about the human rights of a child that has been conceived, and is still in the womb; let alone, outside of the womb in a botched abortion? How about their human rights?

Obsession With Bible Prophecy: Devil Loves It ~ By Pastor Chuck Baldwin

Regardless of one’s private interpretation of prophecy, our duty as Christians is the same: we are to take care of business. We are to tend to our family business, our vocational business, our spiritual business, our community business, our national business, etc. Until He comes, we have a divine mandate to “take care of business.”

Premillennial. Postmillennial. Amillennial. Pre-tribulation. Mid-tribulation. Post-tribulation. Complete Rapture. Partial Rapture. No Rapture. Dispensationalist. Preterist. When it comes to our duty to “take care of business,” IT DOESN’T MATTER. We all have the same duty.

Unfortunately, the preoccupation and obsession with Bible prophecy has diverted people’s attention away from the business at hand. So many, many Christians have become so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good. And pastors and preachers are mostly to blame. They spiritualize everything to the point that they have rendered the scriptures of NO practical relevance whatsoever.

What Pastor Baldwin writes about in this column is something that I admittedly never before pondered on. At first, it seemed like an absurd subject for Chuck Baldwin to discuss. But, as I kept reading, it made more and more sense. It at least scored high enough on the plausibility scale for me to bring it out in the open to the readers here.

Most of all, it is very revealing about some of the Christians that say they can't vote for Donald Trump for whatever reasoning they come up with, even if it means allowing Hillary Clinton to win this election on November 8, 2016. It is also very frustrating.  Wow, I can only believe that is some very fuzzy reasoning, and may lead to the tyranny in America that only their worst concepts of End Times prophecies could imagine.

We need to turn our focus to one important point:  Hillary Clinton has "generally" included religious "zealots" in her "Basket of Deplorables"....

Obsession With Bible Prophecy: Devil Loves It

By Pastor Chuck Baldwin

August 18, 2016

Christians of all stripes and persuasions believe in the return of Christ, nuances of prophetic interpretation notwithstanding. Furthermore, personal interpretations of prophecy are NOT fundamental to our salvation or our service to God. One will find faithful and unfaithful believers at every point along the prophecy spectrum.

That said, after more than four decades of pastoring, it is my firm conviction that the obsession with Bible prophecy demonstrated by a host of professing Christians today is one of our country's BIGGEST problems. On the whole, obsession with prophecy either takes those obsessed completely out of the freedom fight or it actually puts them on the side of those who are trying to usurp our liberties.

VIDEO: When the government knows where the guns are

Yes, people that care about our Constitutional rights, especially the 2nd Amendment, need to see this segment with Judge Andrew Napolitano. This will probably be news that many people have not heard about. You may want to know about this. The government wants to know who the gun owners are, and where they live, which would make it awfully easy to try to grab our guns.

When the government knows where the guns are

It probably can not be a good idea for the government to have the registration data which includes name and addresses of gun owners. This could do irreparable harm to our 2nd Amendment rights. Judge Napolitano explains in this segment how present government actions may be violating the law.

YouTube video: Clinton Body Count +5 in Just 6 Weeks

So, believe me, if you looked at each of the five recent deaths on a case by case basis, it would be difficult to definitively make any connection to Hillary Rodham Clinton, the 2016 Demonicrat nominee for President.  But when you see all of these cases together, you can begin to connect the dots for all these deaths that do have some suspicious circumstances, arousing our trepidation that something gruesomely evil is going on.

Now, with that being said, the "Clinton Body Count" has always been one of the reasons that I've been very apprehensive about either Bill or Hillary Clinton being in office. Wanting to keep Hillary out of the Oval Office has been my objective since the candidates started entering the race over a year ago. When the GOP candidates took the pledge in a debate a year ago to support who ever won the nomination - the pledge that some of those candidates have already broken - I also took that pledge. I pledged my support, not as a candidate, but as a citizen that utilizes my First Amendment rights by writing what I believe is the truth. In my eyes, I think that only by supporting Donald Trump as a unified party can we defeat the likes of Hillary Clinton.

While the "Clinton Body Count" has mostly involved some kind of connection to people and nefarious activities that could implicate the Clinton political power machine, there is another worry: What happens if that body count starts to include people that are merely reporting on the various conspiracy theories involving the Clintons?

Vote for Ted Cruz ~ By Joseph Farah

Joseph Farah endorses candidate with the 'most Reaganesque vision'

I have been in a quandary for the last few weeks, thinking about the looming possibility that Donald Trump could come up with the needed 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention.  In that event, I have to ask myself, "Could I support and vote for Donald Trump in the general election?" That has been a question many have asked; it isn't just me. To begin with, what we must somehow avoid is the eating-our-own politics and bad feelings. The GOP is going to need unity in order to overcome the Democrats. You can count on that.

That’s why it’s time for Republicans to stop eating their own. To win in November will require unity among the top vote-getters and a healing of the bad feelings of record numbers of GOP voters who turned out in what is the equivalent of a grass-roots rebellion against establishment, business-as-usual politics.

I am preparing myself for what appears to be inevitable – nominee Trump or nominee Cruz.

Joseph Farah's thoughts in this column reflect my own. However, there are people I know that aren't thinking along the same lines. What I've been told is that there is no way they will vote for Donald Trump, and some have even mentioned the dreaded thought that they could vote for the probable Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton instead of Donald Trump if he is the Republican candidate.

In choosing between the least of two evils, then, their choice would be "the evil they know," they say. But honestly, it is beyond my imagination how anybody could be worse than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders! Things could possibly work out better if Ted Cruz was the GOP nominee for President in 2016. I'm just sayin'...

Vote for Ted Cruz

Editor's note: The following column represents a personal political endorsement by Joseph Farah, the editor and founder of WND.com, and not a corporate editorial endorsement. It's been a strange 2016 election cycle. On the Democratic side, it's a contest between a former senator and secretary of state who should and could be indicted at any moment…

Ted Cruz 'for a time such as this' ~ By Matt Barber

Matt Barber

Matt Barber explains why he's taking unusual action to endorse in primary

A time such as this that is now here! 

With so many candidates that were running for the Republican Party nomination, well, of course there will be Republican voters with different views, and that was pretty much the case in the Iowa Caucuses.  But now, with Iowa out of the way, and as the nomination process progresses, even more of the nominee hopefuls have dropped out.  The truth is, the number of plausible candidates is down to three: Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.

So let's be honest, Cruz and Rubio are neck and neck, but with both of them still in the race, they will continue to help keep Donald in the lead.

Jesus warned: “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand” (Mark 3:25). Nothing has borne out this reality in recent decades like that exasperating spectacle called the Republican presidential primary. These last few GOP horse races have been jam-packed with would-be conservative and faithfully Christian presidents who, after infighting with largely simpatico opponents, have canceled each other out, limped off to lick their wounds and left the perpetually underwhelmed GOP base to stay home and not vote for “imminently electable” establishment paragons like Presidents Dole, McCain and Romney. Divide and conquer. That’s how the “moderate” GOP establishment plays the primary.

And then they lose the general.

Albert Einstein famously quipped that the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” In that sense, we conservatives are insane.

How about trying something new?

There is really only one way that anybody but Trump could win the GOP nomination right now. That is if there was just one candidate left for Trump to face. There is a good chance that Cruz could stay in the race, and that is if he wins in Texas on Super Tuesday (March 1, 2016). There is a really good chance that Rubio will not win in Florida, his home state. I believe that if Carson, Kasich and Rubio all drop out, at least following Super Tuesday, and endorse Cruz, Ted would have a good chance to win the nomination. My recommendation would be that they drop out before Tuesday and support Cruz.

Matt Barber is absolutely correct, something must happen in order to stop Donald Trump. If your Spanish is really all that good, Senador Marco Rubio, you should understand this: Un momento como este que ahora está aquí.


Ted Cruz 'for a time such as this'

I've never formally endorsed a candidate in any presidential primary. This time the stakes are too high not to. Look around. The world is on fire and the party of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, not to mention the GOP's Obama-enabling RINO establishment, are playing with gasoline. And so, while he's been among my top picks…

Clearly, there is an environment of controversy among some GOP candidates after the Iowa Caucus. But the real question...

Cruz vs. Trump: Not even a contest ~ By Star Parker

Star Parker

Star Parker: It takes a leader that's 'a little bit of a maniac' to turn things around

I am afraid that in this rare time, I may have to contradict Star's title to this column, which is "Cruz vs. Trump: Not even a contest." You see, there is just a little hint of misinformation, at least for some that haven't paid enough attention. There are some... no, wait, that should be MANY Republicans that believe there is no contest: Donald Trump is their guy! No contest.

However, Star isn't writing this as a Trump supporter, but as somebody that sees Ted Cruz as a true contender for that Republican Party nomination.  Star explains why SHE feels that Cruz would be a much better President, with his values still intact, and thus making him a better leader, by example, to turn around the decline of America. Yes, her case is about values, and I can not deny that fact. Here is how Star put it:

Now, with our economy growing well below historic average, with our national debt equal to the size of our entire economy, with Medicare and Social Security insolvent to the tune, by some measures, of $100 trillion, with the American family in shambles and almost half our babies being born to unwed mothers, you have to be on another planet, or a Democrat, not to know America is in decline.

But it takes a leader that’s “a little bit of a maniac” to take on turning this big ship around. It takes someone who cares more about country than about self to stand and fight against an entrenched status quo.

Ted Cruz has stood courageously alone since his first day in the Senate, shining light on what is wrong: about growing debt, about Obamacare, about taxpayer funds going to Planned Parenthood, about immigration. Donald Trump today is reaping the harvest of public awareness Ted Cruz has been sowing for years. Trump should be thanking Ted Cruz.

Please understand that I am not posting this column by Star Parker as an endorsement for Ted Cruz, nor am I predicting that Cruz will be the Republican nominee. I'm just the messenger, telling you what a columnist and author, that happens to be a black female, thinks about the top contenders for the 2016 GOP nomination.

What I will say is that I believe the Republican nomination is now between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. As for me, I'm weighing all the information about both candidates, the good and the bad. I pay attention to what the MSM says about them, because the Democrat rhetoric will echo the leftist media in the general election next Fall. Just to give the liberal media and DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wassername something to really worry about, maybe the solution is to have Trump and Cruz on the ticket. Hillary wouldn't have a prayer! Just sayin'...

*    *    *    *

Cruz vs. Trump: Not even a contest

New polling shows Ted Cruz picking up major steam and looking very serious in challenging Donald Trump's leadership in the Republican presidential candidate field. A Bloomberg News/Des Moines Register poll shows Cruz now leading in Iowa. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll shows Cruz jumping up 12 points from 10 percent in late October.…

Trump followers turn nasty on me ~ By Michael Brown

Dr. Michael Brown

Michael Brown shares vitriolic responses to his opinion of candidate

The Republican Caucus here in Iowa is in less than two months. In my vigilant pursuit of the wisdom to make the right choice about which candidate I will support, I came across this column by Dr. Michael Brown. It really struck me that my thoughts were reflected so well in the following excerpt:

As I’ve said repeatedly, there’s much to like about Donald Trump, and it appears that there are certain things he could do well as a president. And under no circumstances could I vote for any of the current Democratic candidates.

But when I see the irrational response of so many of his supporters, coupled with their demonizing of those who oppose him (along with, often, the demonizing of the other candidates), this only heightens my concerns.

I will certainly pray for Donald Trump and for God’s best for America. At the same time, I will raise concerns as I see them, since my goal is to see our nation blessed.

If you actually read the whole column, which would be a wise thing to do, you'll read about the nasty comments from the Trump followers that Dr. Michael Brown received. As I'm finding out, many of my friends and associates are favoring Donald Trump. I have not experienced any vitriol due to my lack of fealty to the Trump cause.  The truth is, I have not decided on who I will support in the Iowa Caucus.  I will avoid having the Trump followers turning nasty on me, because they're going to want my vote and they know they better behave and schmooze me for their cause.  Just sayin'...

Trump followers turn nasty on me

But it is the nature of the attacks that concerns me, since it appears that for some staunch Trump supporters, you cannot be a strong…

America's uprising against insiders and media ~ By Armstrong Williams

Armstrong Williams says press has 'totally lost touch with reality'

Make no mistake about it: This is the year of the outsider. Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump are not going away. Mainstream candidates will not be able to carry this election, despite the best efforts of their friends in the mainstream media. The people are in an uprising against the status quo, and the uprising won’t be stopped, muted or co-opted, as it has been in the past. People want something radically different. It is high time the mainstream media get used to it.

I know what Armstrong is saying, but I don't think that the Washington insider label applies to Senators Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio as much as it would to many of the current and former governors still seeking the GOP nomination for President. I have to believe that when the establishment candidates and media are bashing them, it shows Cruz and Rubio may be the true Conservatives we are looking for. It virtually proves it, actually. In that MSM joke they called a "debate," hosted by CNBC, both Cruz and Rubio managed to show the backbone to stand up to the Establishment media and politicians.

I should just say thank you to CNBC for doing the lousy job in hosting the latest GOP debate, which made it possible to see the qualities of the two GOP candidates they love to disparage and ignore. Just sayin'...

Kaboom! Cruz launches missile at debate hosts ~ By Paul Bremmer

'Illustrate why the American people don't trust the media'

"Let me say something at the outset,” Cruz began. “The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media."

The mean-spirited character assassins (pseudo debate moderators) of the CNBC network hosting the GOP debate were not asking any questions of substance, but instead, tried to nail the Republican candidates with a "gotcha" interrogation. With the very first question being, "What is your biggest weakness?", and followed by even dumber questions meant to make the candidates look bad, Ted Cruz finally went off on the pseudo moderators.

Why I Hate Politics ~ By Patrice Lewis

Patrice Lewis explains why GOP Presidential candidates like Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina are doing so well. They are not politicians. And even "mavericks" like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) - proclaiming to be Socialist, but running as a Democrat - are trending high in their respective parties as viable candidates. Why? As Patrice points out, the voter anger is directed at the politics of the ordained candidates of the Establishment.

"The problem," I complained to my patient husband, "is I am sick and tired of politics. Absolutely sick of it."

"So write about that," he urged. "You can't possibly be the only one."

Well, that patient husband of Patrice was absolutely correct. Patrice isn't the only one that's sick of it. In fact, I am so sick of it, here I am writing about it on a holiday weekend... for whatever reason! Just sayin'...

Why I Hate Politics

It was 8 p.m. on Thursday night. This column is due Friday at noon, and I didn't have the faintest clue what to write about. Oh sure, there was plenty of stuff in the news.
