Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

Prior to the 2016 election President Obama used his parseltongue to encourage illegal aliens to break federal law and vote in the presidential election:

Today, Donald Trump pointed out the illegal alien voting issue:

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016

According to a recent research study as many as 2.8 million illegal aliens voted in 2008 and 2012.  Full pdf below:
[excerpt] …”How many non-citizen votes were likely cast in 2008? Taking the most conservative estimate (those who both said they voted and cast a verified vote) yields a confidence interval based on sampling error between 0.2% and 2.8% for the portion of non-citizens participating in elections.

President-Elect Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Reince Preibus, appeared on Fox News Sunday with the insufferable Chris Wallace to discuss current events and the ongoing Trump transition:

Senator Bernie Sanders goes into the full ‘old man screaming “get off my lawn” mode‘ after he was  put on the spot this morning because of his ideological support for brutal communist dictator Fidel Castro.

Reading 1 Is 2:1-5

This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz,
saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
In days to come,
the mountain of the LORD’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain
and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it;
many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us climb the LORD’s mountain,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may instruct us in his ways,
and we may walk in his paths.”
For from Zion shall go forth instruction,
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
and impose terms on many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks;
one nation shall not raise the sword against another,
nor shall they train for war again.
O house of Jacob, come,
let us walk in the light of the Lord! (more…)
