tomb-of-the-unknown2Our 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 †

DON’T BE A SOFT TARGET

In light of recent events and the continuing threat of madmen in the world, iOTW endorses this guest post by Mary From Marin. Everybody should take the appropriate steps to prepare themselves and their loved ones against any future attack. This post speaks specifically about places of worship and its vulnerabilities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All Saints Church  (Pakistan)
Church of the Annunciation & Church of the Martyrs (Syria)
Church of St. George & Church of the Virgin Mary (Egypt)
Church Bethel Injil (Indonesia)
Hiawatha Church (Ohio)
Sikh Temple (Wisconsin)
Congregation Beth El (New Jersey)
Christ Holy Sanctified (Oklahoma)

What do these places have in common?

They are all places where violence has occurred—and they are all churches.

 

Most churches—like schools (think Beslan and Newtown) and shopping malls (think Nairobi)—are soft targets. People do not expect violence to occur in their places of worship, and are therefore generally oblivious to safety and security issues.

THIS scares the heck out of Liberals and Democrats….

Signs, signs everywhere signs……  last Friday in Kansas City a series of technical microphone glitches messed up the ability of the pre-game performer to sing the national anthem.

So the crowd took over !

YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!

Oh Noes…. NBC Follows CNN and Cancels The Pantsuits Miniseries

Pass the Chick-fil-a Sandwiches….

(THR) — NBC has scrapped its controversial Hillary Clinton miniseries project.

“After reviewing and prioritizing our slate of movie/miniseries development, we’ve decided that we will no longer continue developing the Hillary Clinton miniseries,” the network said in a statement Monday.
The news comes hours after CNN Films opted to cancel its planned documentary on the former secretary of state and first lady after pressure from both Democrats and Republicans.  (read more)

Hang Tough – Morale Is Important….. So Hang Tough…. Don't Let The Bastards Wear You Down….

In the war of ideas, or even ideals, morale is everything.

Don’t let the insufferable propaganda get you down; conservative patriots are on the right side of the issue(s) we confront – and the media will do everything within their ideological power to insure you don’t find confirmation of that.   This, is a constant.
Tea Party Tsunami - R
The signs are everywhere, all around, so don’t let fear overtake your common sense and situational awareness.  The leftists always count on their capacity to make you think you are in the minority, or your belief systems are ‘out of touch’.   If that were not he case Saul Alinsky would never have written their instruction manual.

I ask you:  Who was the House Majority Speaker during the “Great Depression” of the 1930’s ?     …History attributes ’cause’ to the President – not congress.

Right now the DNC is over $18 million in debt.   They have not paid their bills for over ten months and their vendors are reluctant to continue affording them lines of credit.

[…]  It is a highly unusual state of affairs for a national party — especially one that can deploy the President as its fundraiser-in-chief – and it speaks to the quiet but serious organizational problems the party has yet to address since the last election, obscured in part by the much messier spectacle of GOP infighting.  (link)

The current President has never even signed a budget.  For two years, holding the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Democrats never even proposed one.   For the next two years, after Republicans took back the House, the Senate never even proposed one.   These are simple facts the media want you need you to ignore.

Pantsuits The Movie Will Have To Wait – CNN Propaganda Campaign Movie To Canonize Hillary Scrapped By Producers…

Citing the unwillingness of Democrats in the Clinton Circle to give interviews, the Director, Charles Ferguson, claims he can’t go forward with the CNN sponsored movie about Hillary Clinton’s magnanimity…..   The more likely reason for the silence of the shams is they want a low profile for Hillary’s stealth candidacy….  Sunlight does not lend well to hiding lies and fraud.
(The Guardian) The Oscar-winning film director Charles Ferguson has cancelled his CNN documentary on Hillary Clinton after what he described as a private campaign against the film by prominent Democrats.
Hillary fibber
Ferguson said he had decided to pull the plug after being met with a wall of silence from more than a hundred people who refused to be interviewed for the documentary. (more…)

Jobs For Jihadists – Ketchup Kerry Continues

“launching a new global counter terror fund“, with whose money exactly?  I digress. Secretary of Statist John Kerry, continues to advance his proposal that terrorists will set down the RPG’s if they are just given more opportunity at jobs…   This is not the first time Kerry has led this ridiculous calling.   It’s been a highlight of the Stuck On Stupid Series.
WASHINGTON DC – Launching a new global counter-terror fund, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke of the importance of “providing more economic opportunities for marginalized youth at risk of recruitment” – although much research has debunked the notion of a link between poverty and Islamist terrorism.

At a meeting in New York Friday of the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF), Kerry and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu unveiled a $200 million initiative designed to leverage public and private funding in support of what the GCTF calls “countering violent extremism” (CVE) efforts. (more…)

Prog Logic – Nancy Pelosi Outlines The Democrat *official* Position – Just Read It…..

Democrats are “Willing To Work With GOP On Keeping Government Open” . . .  But if GOP doesn’t give us exactly what we want….. The government will shutdown.

Not Their Time – Powerful Video In McDonalds Shooting….

I saw this on TV a few days ago and it really is quite incredible. A guy walks into a McDonalds intent on a mass shooting. He pulls the trigger five times trying to shoot people, nothing happens. He walks outside and fires into the air, no problem. So he walks back into the McDonalds and tries again to kill people; pulls the trigger another three times, and nothing happens. Then he walks back outside and the next two trigger pulls work as he shoots a car twice.
God was watching over those people in the McDonalds.
a-prayer-for-times-like-theseTEXAS – When Jestin Anthony Joseph walked into a McDonald’s and asked for a cup of water, that’s not all he was after.
Witnesses say the 24-year-old soon pulled out a gun and pointed it at employees and customers — who were with children — demanding their possessions.
Fort Worth police say surveillance video shows Joseph pulling the trigger at least five times while pointing it at individuals inside the restaurant — but the gun wouldn’t fire.
At least one man tried to wrestle the gun away from Joseph, who then went outside and fired a shot into the air, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says. (more…)
