Kern County Sheriffs Guilty of Murder?
The officers then began rounding up the cell phones from people who had recorded the event. There is a grainy, dark video of the incident that can be viewed. Witnesses say that as Silva was being beaten, he was begging for his life. It was impossible for Silva to fight back against 9 officers and one can only wonder what motivated the officers to beat him as they did.
More on the Common Core
The problem with Common Core – as we’re discovering – is that though it is clearly illegal for the federal government to dictate to the states (and HOW did Obamacare become law again?), this is exactly what the Obama administration has been doing. Because of this, state governors are now taking a moment to “hit the pause button” as Gov. Pence has done in Indiana, and now Gov. Deal has done by actually hitting the “stop” button.
IRS Flinches, Obama Digs In
In spite of the statements in the IG report, it appears that harassing letters from the IRS to conservative groups came, not just from Cincinnati, but also from Washington, DC headquarters as well as California offices of the IRS. Lest we also forget, officials from the IRS actually apologized not for the appearance of unfairly targeting conservative groups, but for actually targeting them. How did the IG miss the obvious?
Muslims Caught Trespassing at Boston’s Quabbin Reservoir
I think it is clear that there are plenty of Muslims throughout the United States and Canada who would like to harm us. Of course we cannot simply round them up and toss them in another Gitmo-style holding area or internment camp. However, the other truth is that the only ones who appear to be entering a new phase of jihad in the United States are radicalized Muslims. They don’t care how many innocent people are destroyed (or whether those people are conservative or liberal). They simply want to introduce fear into the daily life of Americans.
Common Core and Privacy Issues
I’ll say right up front that I have not made up my mind completely one way or another with respect to Common Core. I’m still reading and researching. At the same time, I know that many have come out against it and are vehement in their resistance to Common Core. They have their reasons.
Politically Correct Problems with the United Nations
The UN wants to accomplish a number of things. It wants an International Criminal Court established in The Hague. They would have the power to arrest and charge anyone in the world and even have the power to remove constitutional rights from Americans. In essence, the UN sees this criminal court as higher than America’s Constitution. America would lose her sovereignty to the UN.
Obama’s Mounting Troubles
It has to be admitted that things are not looking good for Obama and while people like Julian Bond prefer to simply blame it all on racism, the actual truth may be found elsewhere. Benghazi is putting information into the minds of Americans that the administration would certainly like to have kept locked up. Something is obviously wrong when left-leaning networks like MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and even CNN start reporting the facts about Benghazi.
How Leftist Ideology is Destroying America
Many do not realize the full impact that political correctness has had and continues to have on society as a whole. It is often thought that we must simply be careful what we say so as not to offend others. Certainly, that is a worthwhile endeavor, but political correctness when taken to its logical conclusion does far more harm than good.
On Benghazi’s Hot Seat
The daily chatter regarding Benghazi is getting louder, especially now that some actual media sources have joined in and appear to be pushing others off to the side as if they were here all along. One anchor on CNN is now claiming that “the talking points were edited down from the CIA’s original draft to something that was totally untrue.” ABC noted that one word in particular that changed during the talking point revisions has a damaging effect for the White House. A panel discussion on MSNBC of talking point changes prompted pundits to note that the whole thing smacks of a potential impeachment issue.
Social Gospel, Pt. 2
Jesus approached ministry by often meeting the physical needs of people. But He always shared the gospel with them. He fed thousands. He healed the sick. He cared for people tangibly, but He always taught and preached. That is what Christians are called to do.
