There’s a print story about it HERE because it caught someone’s attention.
But here’s the actual video from this morning – Forward the video to @1:27:50 as Rep Duncan asks the question:
Duncan’s question: “Do you think Boko Haram is targeting Christians in the attacks“?
State Dept Dr. Sewell: “I wish there were such discrimination in Boko Haram attacks“.
Borrowing context from the writing of Rev Billy Graham there is something to be learned from the direct confrontation of evil. The primary video of Democrat Rep. Alvin Holmes needs a backdrop reference.
(pg 64 Satan on the Attack) […] Revelation 12:10 speaks of Satan as “the accuser of the brethren”, and Ephesians 6:12 describes the “rulers, the authorities, the powers of the dark world, the spiritual forces of evil present in the heavenly realms.”
Although the warfare as described references the heavens, it is an obvious principle the primary endeavor is to destroy faith in the world.
From Isaiah 13:12-14 the objectives are outlined – though we can assign a collective disposition to current influence: “[they] work to bring the downfall of nations, to corrupt moral standards, and to waste human resources. Corrupting society’s order, [they] want to prevent the attainment of order and to shake the kingdoms of our God”.
Evil, and in a larger sense the influences comfortable with immoral manifest, has great power. They are cunning and clever, having set themselves against God and His people: (more…)
Nigeria – At least 118 people have been killed and dozens wounded in two bomb blasts that caused buildings to collapse in a crowded market area of the Nigerian city of Jos, authorities say.
The massive car bombs on Tuesday, just a few minutes apart, were the latest in a deadly wave of bombings across Nigeria over the past few weeks, raising fears that the extremist group Boko Haram has become powerful enough to expand its terrorist operations far outside its traditional strongholds and into new regions of the country.

JOS, Nigeria — Two car bombs exploded at a bustling bus terminal and market in Nigeria’s central city of Jos on Tuesday, and police said at least 46 were killed and dozens were wounded.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the twin car bombs, but they bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist group.
The second blast came half an hour after the first, killing some of the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene that was obscured by billows of black smoke.
Dozens of bodies and body parts were covered in grain that had been loaded in the second car bomb, witnesses said. A Terminus Market official said he helped remove 50 casualties, most of them dead. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to give information to reporters. (more…)
Kentucky candidate Matt Bevin and family
Our Father who art in heaven; please put roadblocks in the path of McConnell supporters. Turtles slowly crossing the road will do just nicely – with a smidgen of irony not withstanding. Through You all things are possible.
Please allow a sense of righteous motivation, protection and positive energy to flow mysteriously through the hearts of the patriots who boldly walk affirmed to save our republic and vote for Matt Bevin. Deliver the righteous to the polls with quick dispatch, as we remember it is quite possible for David to slay Goliath.
It was the Tennessean and Kentuckian long rifle militia who eventually turned the tide of the revolutionary war in favor of the republic. We pray for that same committed spirit today. In your name – AMEN
For Michelle Obama, the world is black and white. But not about good and evil, right and wrong. Her black and white is all about skin color.
She talks about it often, incessantly, even, injecting race and racism into speeches and events in which they have no business. And she did so again on Friday, when she traveled to Topeka, Kansas, to deliver a speech to graduating high school seniors.
First, a background note: Her speech was moved up a day after parents complained that her visit to a school district — just blocks from the historic schoolhouse central to the Brown v. Education Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation — would focus on race, not their children’s accomplishments.
And that, in fact, is exactly what the first lady did. (more…)
Say what you will about President G.W. Bush but he always puts the consideration of others at the forefront. Many, including myself, strongly disagreed with T2 policies – but Dubya’s outward humility in position was/is beyond reproach.
TELEGRAPH – […] As President Barack Obama spoke at the unveiling of the museum in New York on Thursday, the man who was president at the time of the attacks was noticeable by his absence. According to the museum Mr Bush was invited to the ceremony, but his spokesman Freddy Ford said he was unable to attend because of a scheduling conflict.
It later emerged that the former president was in Bentonville, Arkansas attending a separate ceremony for 14 living recipients of the Medal of Honour. The event also raised money for the Congressional Medal of Honour Society and Foundation. (more…)
What’s that? Yeah, thought so…
(Christian Post) A pregnant Christian woman sentenced to death for apostasy in Sudan will be allowed to give birth before being hanged for apostasy.
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was born to a Muslim father but was raised a Christian by her mother after he walked out on the family when she was just six years old.
She was sentenced to hang for apostasy after marrying a Christian man and was also sentenced to receive 100 lashes for adultery because the court determined that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan was void under Islamic law. (more…)
SunTrust Inc. Has reversed itself. But what difference does that make ?
Anyone who would continue to do business with SunTrust Bank is being codependent to an ideological system quite comfortable with radical progressive, ideological targeting – now exposed.
It matters not that SunTrust would recognize *NOW* the insufferable stupidity behind such a bigoted un-American decision. What matters, what really matters, is that they would act on a sensibility of mob rule without care or consequence in the first place.
The “reversal” is a business decision. Would they have reversed without the calls, emails and consequences of the soon-to-be closed bank accounts ? FUCK NO !
An hour after the wife lays bloodied and battered on the bathroom floor, for daring to go out without permission, the “husband” walks into the room, kneels down and apologizes for the black eye and broken lip. “I’m sorry; It’ll never happen again; I made a mistake; But it wasn’t my fault, I just care about you so much”…..
Yeah, right….. Stay? At what cost to self ? Who is the benefactor of such ?
The only way to deal with abuse is to remove yourself from the opportunity to be abused. Any customer who would accept SunTrust’s apology and stay with their association, knowing full well the tentative position and inherent risk now evident, IS A FOOL.
Kirsten Powers – Welcome to the Dark Ages, Part II. We have slipped into an age of un-enlightenment where you fall in line behind the mob or face the consequences.
How ironic that the persecutors this time around are the so-called intellectuals. They claim to be liberal while behaving as anything but. The touchstone of liberalism is tolerance of differing ideas. Yet this mob exists to enforce conformity of thought and to delegitimize any dissent from its sanctioned worldview. Intolerance is its calling card.
Each week seems to bring another incident. Last week it was David and Jason Benham, whose pending HGTV show was canceled after the mob unearthed old remarks the brothers made about their Christian beliefs on homosexuality. People can’t have a house-flipping show unless they believe and say the “right” things in their life off the set? In this world, the conservative Tom Selleck never would have been Magnum, P.I. (more…)
