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“.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The announcement comes after Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) met for an hour Tuesday to negotiate over the probe .
Appointing five members to the panel is an evolution for Pelosi, who initially didn’t want to dignify the committee by naming any Democrats to sit on it. Her perspective changed, however, after fellow Democrats said she should appoint at least a few Democrats to counter claims by Republicans. Some Democrats also felt the party should be represented if Republicans subpoena high-level Obama administration officials, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The committee, which the House agreed to create earlier this month in a party-line vote, has seven seats for Republicans and five for Democrats. (read more)
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…)
This undercover video is brilliant. James O’Keefe creates a sting where he is willing to finance an anti-fracking movie for Hollywood environmentalists. His approach is to use a fictitious character named Muhammad who will only finance the film under the agreement the film’s intent must be to undermine U.S. energy independence.
The Hollywood crew consisting of Ed Begley Jr, Mariel Hemingway, and producers Josh and Rebecca Tickell are totally willing to disguise the source of the funding, and they each agree to conspire to undermine the U.S. Energy Economy.
“I’m here to say on behalf of the president what I hope you already know: You can count on us. Period. We do what we say, and we mean what we say.”
Well, unless you’re talking about Iran (Green Revolution we let get wiped out), Egypt (where we hurried in the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood), Syria (and that whole “red line” thingy), Iran again (the sanctions lifted so they can have a nuke), Israel (the target of the Iranian nuke), Ukraine (they really didn’t need the whole Crimea thing), Canada (and that pesky on-again/off-again election year keystone issue), South Korea (as we watch N-Korea fire missiles at them). Other than that, you can count on us. Maybe…..
Hey now,… “if you like your country – you can keep your country”. “Period”.
(Via The Hill) Vice President Biden on Tuesday sought to reassure Romania that the U.S. would defend its borders amid concerns that Russia’s incursion into Ukraine could spread into other parts of Eastern Europe.
“I’m here to say on behalf of the president what I hope you already know: You can count on us. Period,” Biden said while touring a Romanian air base. “We do what we say, and we mean what we say.”
The borders of Romania, which, like Ukraine, is a former Soviet republic, lie less than 250 miles from Crimea, the peninsula annexed by Moscow earlier this year. (more…)
A man stepping off a METRO light rail train was punched in the face and left with a black eye, a cut and fractured nose.
“I looked down at my phone to read a text message and the next thing I know…POW!” said Vincent Gonzalez, who got suckered punched. “I looked behind me and saw a person standing there yelling at me and cursing at me.”
Police said Gonzalez wasn’t the only person punched that day and both attacks were unprovoked. (more…)
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.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
A Progressive Middle School in Rhode Island cancelled an Honors Night event to celebrate academic achievement because it rewards success, which they say is too “exclusive“.
The public calls them out – they reverse course, or well, try too, and fail miserably. Here’s the announcement and the walk back. You decide:
Dear Cole Families,
We would like to take this opportunity to notify you of a change to our annual spring events at Cole [Middle School]. Honors Night has been a longstanding tradition in our community — one that was created in the Cole Junior High School era.
Members of the school community have long expressed concerns related to the exclusive nature of Honors Night. Therefore, we have made the collective decision to recognize students during team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation. This will afford us the opportunity to celebrate the individual and collective successes of all students and their effort, progress, and excellence.
Additionally, our Cole varsity athletes will receive their medals and trophies at an after school ceremony.
Best wishes for a nice weekend.
Kindest regards,
Alexis Meyer and Dan Seger (Principal and Vice-Principal)
OK, you getting this? Because it’s too “exclusive” to honor the top performers they cancelled the event in favor of an ‘everybody equal’ ceremony.
What do they do next ? They tell everyone they didn’t communicate the change well enough. GASLIGHTING ALERT !
