Lord, there is so much turmoil in this world!

Terrorism, wars in the Middle East; election related violence – it’s hard to even watch the news!

 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Lord, most of my family have forsaken me. They think that I am crazy for believing in You and loving You!

“Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law” (Luke 12:51-53).

Lord, there is so much hatred for You and for those who love You.

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. “If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you” (John 15:18-19).

Lord, we wait for Your coming.  Are You coming soon, Lord?

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

Lord, I met a woman who helped me during a terrible tragedy, but I cannot find her now.

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” (Hebrews 13:2).

Lord, please help me in my witness to others; help me be bold in sharing Your Salvation.

“And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence” (Acts 4: 29).

Father, I know that you will make all things right one day. Thank You for Your Son Jesus.  He brought “Good will toward men” from You! Because of Jesus, I can boldly approach Your throne. I can call You Abba Father!

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.  But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart” (Luke 2: 8-19)

I love you Lord. Thank You that through Your Son Jesus – ALL IS WELL!

Thank you, Rick from the Christian Bookstore, for pointing me to this amazing Christian singing group!

Merry Christmas, brethren!

When Obama appears to the American people since Trump’s victory, he seems so cool and calm and accepting of the outcome of the election.  He does not fool me. I have told my husband numerous times that this man is always calculating his next move. And so he is.

Those being blamed for the upcoming protests and riots are George Soros and Michael Moore.  I would say that Obama is steering this opposition to Trump, but his role is being covered and silenced by his mainstream media. After all, they work for him.  Soros is funding the protests, as usual.

The plans for disruption of our big cities is not just for Inauguration day. They are also planning these “riots” for December 19th – the day that the electors cast they votes.

Michael Moore, Soros, Vogue mag fueling mass anti-Trump protests

Mass protests are being planned to block major thoroughfares and “shut down” Washington, D.C., New York and other cities on Inauguration Day, but a coalition of far-left organizations isn’t waiting for Jan. 20 to roll out the shock troops.

They have another day circled on their calendar — Dec. 19. That’s the day the Electoral College electors meet in the 50 state Capitols.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee sent out a news release Friday saying it is working with a host of progressive groups including Democracy Spring, Americans Take Action and the organizations pushing the Change.org petition to get the Electoral College to turn on President-Elect Donald Trump.

“Thousands of Americans will be protesting nationwide on Dec. 19 while the Electoral College goes to cast their votes, urging electors to respect the will of he people and vote for the winner of the national popular vote,” PCCC says.

The release further states that “70 Electoral College members have signed the letter calling for an intelligence briefing into Russian hacking before they vote.”

But the granddaddy of all protests is being planned for Jan. 20 — Inauguration Day.

U.S. News reports that two major protests are being planned, one peaceful along the parade route and another being organized by “radical” elements who clearly wish to “shut down the show.”

“One major faction plans an orderly but large demonstration along the parade route. But a more radical effort operating under the tagline ‘no peaceful transition’ seeks to block major roads into the nation’s capital and prevent foot traffic from reaching security checkpoints along the route,” U.S. News reports.

“So, we’re going for what I’d generally term a clusterf–k,” says Legba Carrefour, a local anarchist handling press for the more radical protest-organizing network DisruptJ20.

“We are planning to shut down the inauguration, that’s the short of it,” he says. “We’re pretty literal about that, we are trying to create citywide paralysis on a level that I don’t think has been seen in D.C. before. We’re trying to shut down pretty much every ingress into the city as well as every checkpoint around the actual inauguration parade route.”

Filmmaker Michael Moore has clearly come out on the side of the more radical protesters. He penned a letter to the Hollywood Reporter saying he will be in D.C. on Jan. 20 to lead national protests against the inauguration of Donald Trump.

“I expect the Republicans to call a Saturday session on Jan. 21st and start enacting an assembly line of legislation, passing bills into law by voice vote, and rushing them up Pennsylvania Ave. for Trump’s signature. This impending disaster requires everyone to get involved now — all hands on deck! This is not a drill!,” Moore wrote.

Yet, Moore seems to think Trump might not show up for his own inauguration:

“If by some awful happenstance Trump shows up to be sworn in on January 20th, I will be there helping lead the national protest and non-violently disrupting the Inauguration of a man no one other than the electoral college elected — and I’ll also be doing my own thing as a private citizen (activities I won’t disclose now).”

On Wednesday, Moore tweeted a link to the radical protest website Disrupt the Inauguration or DisruptJ20, which seeks to shut down the inauguration. – source

I believe that Donald Trump should opt to be inaugurated inside the White House. This is our new president, and he should not put his life at risk because of these insane progressives (Marxists/socialists) who will not accept the will of the people.

The wnd.com article goes on:

“DC will not be hospitable to the Trump administration,” organizers write. “Every corporation must openly declare whether they side with him or with the people who will suffer at his hands. Thousands will converge and demonstrate resistance to the Trump regime.”

Disrupt the Inauguration states its mission in no uncertain terms on its website:

“We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies. If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over. It must be made clear to the whole world that the vast majority of people in the United States do not support his presidency or consent to his rule.

“Trump stands for tyranny, greed, and misogyny. He is the champion of neo-nazis and white Nationalists, of the police who kill the Black, Brown and poor on a daily basis, of racist border agents and sadistic prison guards, of the FBI and NSA who tap your phone and read your email.

“He is the harbinger of even more climate catastrophe, deportation, discrimination, and endless war. He continues to deny the existence of climate change, in spite of all the evidence, putting the future of the whole human race at stake.The KKK, Vladimir Putin, Golden Dawn, and the Islamic State all cheered his victory. If we let his inauguration go unchallenged, we are opening the door to the future they envision.”

Vogue magazine rounding up women for DC march

Vogue Magazine announced it has secured permits for a “Women’s March on Washington” the day after Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 21. The magazine states:

“Okay, ladies, now let’s get in formation – in D.C. This morning, the organizers for the upcoming Women’s March on Washington confirmed they had finally secured permits for the planned protest against President-elect Donald Trump on the day after his inauguration on January 21.”

Soros-backed agitator re-emerges

Another protest group with reported links to Soros money is Act Now to Stop War & Racism or ANSWER Coalition. This group, which was a key agitator during the November riots in Chicago and other major cities, sent out an email alert Friday accusing Trump of having an “anti-people agenda” that seeks to destroy the lives of women, blacks, immigrants, Muslims, low-wage workers and public-school teachers. ANSWER, which has strong Arab Muslim support and has been active in the Palestinian cause, is agitating for all these groups to take to the streets on Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C., and New York.

“The cabinet choices are a clear indication that Trump plans to wage a massive war against labor, low-wage workers, public education, environmental protections, the immigrant community, women and the Muslim American community while giving massive tax breaks to the richest banks and corporations,” according to the ANSWER alert. “His plans for so-called deregulation must be understood for what they are: a plan to end requirements on corporate America to uphold environmental protections, labor protections and civil rights.

“This is an extremist, right-wing government that will pursue policies designed purely to further enrich the 1% with devastating consequences for the rest of the population.
The Democratic Party leadership is not going to stop Trump. We the people can stop him.”

Obama feeds the beast

President Obama himself appeared to join the ranks of the agitators, holding a press conference Friday in which he chastised Putin and called on Trump to launch an independent, bipartisan investigation into “Russian hacking,” further stoking the perception that a foreign power influenced the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 8.

Yet, there has been no outrage from the Obama administration about the hundreds of threatening phone calls and emails against members of the Electoral College.

WND previously reported on the dozens of death threats levied against Electoral College electors in multiple states. When WND contacted the FBI to ask if it has been investigating any of these threats, a spokeswoman said it was against FBI policy to confirm or deny whether it has opened any investigations.

“At this time I have no comment, as it is FBI policy to neither confirm nor deny the existence of an FBI investigation,” said Nora Scheland of the FBI National Press Office in an email.

When reminded that the FBI recently confirmed an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, she merely repeated the same dishonest answer that she gave WND the first time. “I cannot confirm or deny or comment further.”

WND reported Nov. 10 that Kahama Sawant, a member of the Seattle City Council and a self-described Marxist, was among a small cadre of socialists planning a “nationwide shutdown” of major American cities on Inauguration Day.

J.B. Williams, who blogs at CDJ News, said the attempts to delegitimize the Trump presidency through Electoral College threats and mass protests are being driven by super-wealthy liberals like George Soros.

“According to these anti-American Marxists, Trump is ‘unfit’ for the Oval Office and they are trying to ‘save our country and freedom itself’ from the tyrannical reign of an unfit Trump administration,” Williams writes. “The Obama administration is accusing Russia of interfering in the 2016 elections on behalf of Trump, C.I.A. Director Brennen appearing to be the sole source of that accusation, as Russia categorically denies.”

Obama’s America is NOT the America we once knew.  I have written numerous articles about BHO’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood and with Islamists across the globe.

January 20th should become a  National holiday.  Seriously, it should be called “Freedom from Tyranny Day”  and celebrated by all who love America.

From WND.com

Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the Ohio State student who attacked fellow students with his car and a butcher knife last month, was a known recruitment target of Islamic terrorists when Homeland Security officials allowed him into the country as a “refugee.”

The revelation came from a letter sent Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Artan entered the U.S. as a refugee along with his mother and six of his siblings, leaving one sibling behind in Somalia.

Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is demanding more information on the screening process applied to Artan and his family.

While applying for entrance into the U.S. as a “refugee” from Somalia in 2013, Artan’s mother told immigration officials she feared persecution from al-Shabaab, an al-Qaida affiliated terrorist group, and believed Abdul and his siblings would be recruited into the organization if they remained in Somalia, the Daily Caller reported.

That knowledge should have led USCIS officials to “conduct additional questioning to better understand ties to a group that the United States designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2008,” the letter said. But the additional questioning, which the committee describes as “common practice” in those situations, never happened.

Artan’s mother also told government screeners that her husband had been kidnapped by al-Shabab.

All of these facts should have been red flags, a former DHS screening officer told WND.

But the family was accepted by U.S. officials for permanent resettlement in Columbus, Ohio, after spending time in a United Nations refugee camp in Pakistan. Columbus has the second-largest community of Somali refugees after Minneapolis.

Phil Haney, a recently retired Homeland Security officer and co-author of the bombshell book “See Something Say Nothing,” said it’s not all that rare that a case with obvious red flags gets no response when passed up the line from the original interviewer at DHS.

“Them saying the father was kidnapped by al-Shabab is a red flag for me. Do we really know if that was true or just a sob story to get them in?” Haney told WND. “For all we know their father is al-Shabab or their father has two or more families – one here and one back home in Somalia.”

Phil Haney

Haney said he encountered this, among many other lies, told by Somali refugees during his interviews with them.

“They would travel back and forth, during the cold part of the year in Minneapolis they would leave their truck-driving job or their taxi-driving job behind and go back to Somalia, then come back in the spring,” he said. “We saw that very often. It’s not uncommon. So the fact his father was ‘kidnapped’ was a red flag for me immediately, and now it’s followed up with the story that they never really vetted any of this information. This is exactly what’s been going on for the last 10 years or more.”

He said DHS was still in its infancy in 2005, 2006 and 2007 but was learning how to be more effective in screening out bad apples trying to enter the U.S. as refugees.

He said he noticed a definite change in 2008 when the Obama administration took over.

“They basically brushed it all aside, they rarely followed up with secondary cases,” Haney told WND.

Sessions to the rescue?

The fact that Artan’s family came from Pakistan is in itself troubling, said Ann Corcoran, author of the Refugee Resettlement blog.
She said Sen. Jeff Sessions, when he takes over as Donald Trump’s attorney general, should launch an investigation into the Somali refugee program.

“Sessions, when he takes over as attorney general in January, needs to take this case apart from top to bottom and figure out how this happened,” Corcoran told WND. “Take it from the first minute and follow this family through the whole process, each separate stage, and try to figure out how these Somalis are coming in from all over the world.”

U.S. inundated with Somali refugees

In the first three months of fiscal year 2017, which began on Oct. 1, more refugees have come to the U.S. from Somalia than from any other Muslim country – 3,014 in total. That outranks even the Syrian refugee program, which has sent 2,836 Syrians to the U.S. since Oct. 1. The U.S. government distributes Somali refugees, who are almost all Muslim, to some 300 cities and towns, with high concentrations in not only Minnesota and Ohio but Atlanta, San Diego, Seattle, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, North Dakota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee and Texas.

But Somalis aren’t coming just from the big U.N. refugee camp on the Kenya-Somalia border.

“We are picking them up from Pakistan, Malta, Malaysia, Australia, and Sessions needs to get to the bottom of it,” Corcoran said. “In Malta, for example, what you have are illegal aliens who came across in boats from Somalia and then we take them in as refugees. There’s absolutely no way to screen those people. Several hundred Somalis in the last year we have taken just from Malta.”

Bad apples in a bad system

DHS set up the intelligence driven special operations or IDSO for the purpose of screening young men from high-risk Middle Eastern countries, Haney said.

“We interviewed a lot of people, it was a regular thing almost every day. There were a lot of cases where I myself attempted to follow up and pass on information to the Joint Terrorism Task Force and/or the FBI that I had gleaned from my interviews on people just like the student from Ohio State, but never really received a prompt response, an engaged response, an adequate response, the kind of response you would expect to get from your colleagues. Instead we saw a lack of urgency.”

Haney said that lack of urgency left he and others at DHS “in kind of a twilight-zone situation in which we knew we were seeing trends develop and we weren’t able to follow through with them because our colleagues in other agencies like the FBI were not very responsive.”

Haney said Artan’s case appears typical of many of the Somalis he interviewed.

“We set up an entire template for interviewing young men originally from Somalia, where we’d studied all the specific regions of Somalia, where they came from, we’d find out their family ties, and we’d also be able to predict what their birthday would be because virtually everyone coming from Somalia says they were born on Jan. 1,” he said. “Your identification with your family and your extended family is central to people in the Middle Eastern world because family is central to your whole world, everything you do in life depends on the family you come from. So there are a lot of clues you can glean just from that.”

Obama ushers in CVE to protect rights of Muslims

Haney said that in the years 2005-06-07 DHS officers “were essentially able to do our jobs but as soon as the administration changed hands it became virtually impossible to follow up and do basic law enforcement.”

There was a direct correlation in the timing of the transition to Obama, he said.

“You have to remember we’re trained observers, observing not only the actions of the bad guys but also the policies within our own agencies – we’re perfectly aware of that too,” he said. “We’re subject matter experts in an area that requires attention to detail and all of a sudden we’re discovering a trend developing where the administration is not responsive and at the same time it was developing a program based on the civil rights and civil liberties of Muslims. What you ended up with was a politically based policy that became known as ‘countering violent extremism.’”

Haney said words like “inclusive” and “diversity” started popping up and taking precedence over more time-honored law enforcement techniques.

“Can you define what inclusion means? Can you define what diversity means? I can’t,” Haney said. “But those were the types of vague terms being thrown around in this new emphasis on CVE.”

These are also the exact terms used by the United Nations in its 2030 Agenda and in its New Urban Agenda, which focuses on the rights of migrants and places those rights above the national security of nations.

He said the CVE program places more importance on guarding the rights of Muslims and shielding Islam from criticism than it does on protecting American citizens.

“U.N. Resolution 1618, which was heartily endorsed by Hillary Clinton and Obama, is the embodiment of this effort to criminalize criticism of Islam,” Haney said. “The goals of the UN and the goals of the Obama administration have 100 percent overlap.” – source

I’m very thankful for news sources like wnd.com.  We get the “real news” – not politically correct rubbish!   The American people spoke loudly on election day. I think that “political correctness” played a large part in Trump’s victory.  We the people could take no more!

I pray that President-elect Trump and his advisors will find a sound way of vetting anyone coming from the Middle East. I’m sure that he will put an end to the systematic migration of so-called refugees who are not being vetted.  This is insanity!
