‘Constitutional Crisis’:
Obama Not Bluffing On Amnesty

Rep. Steve King warns:
‘This is going to be the promise he actually keeps’

By Greg Corombos — Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, says the unconstitutional granting of amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants is one promise President Obama actually intends to keep, and he says the Republican Congress must be ready to do what it takes to stop it from happening.

The day after major Republican wins in the midterm elections, Obama reiterated his vow to act alone on immigration policy. On Wednesday, he told the nation he would announce a major immigration executive action in a prime-time speech Thursday at 8 p.m. EST. While not detailing what his executive orders would entail, reports have indicated that the centerpiece of Obama’s initiative would grant legal status and issue work permits to the parents of U.S. citizens and children already legalized in some way. Estimates suggest that would legalize anywhere from 4.5 to 6 million illegal immigrants.

While immigration has been a divisive issue among Republicans over the past couple of years, King said GOP lawmakers are virtually unanimous in fighting what they see as an unconstitutional power grab. He’s less certain Republicans are willing to to whatever it takes to win the fight.

“I think we’re really solid,” King said. “Those on the Republican side that would give the president a pass for usurping constitutional authority are very few. But how far are they willing to go to block this president?”

King has been a leading voice of opposition to granting legal status to people in the country illegally. He said he can remember where he was and the disappointment he felt when President Ronald Reagan signed the 1986 amnesty into law.

The congressman said Obama’s agenda is infinitely worse, and he fears the president is dead set on taking action on his own.

“The president has a very long string of broken promises, but this, I think, is going to be the promise he actually keeps. He is poised to violate the Constitution and create his own immigration law out of thin air. He has no constitutional authority to do this,” said King, who believes Obama’s insistence on this issue boils down to one thing.

“He thinks a high percentage of them are just undocumented Democrats, and the next phase would be to document them so that they can vote,” he said.

Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa:

How does King conclude the president’s actions would be unconstitutional?

“Not only does Article I set aside all legislative power to the United States Congress, but also an enumerated power is to provide a uniform rule of naturalization. That’s Congress’ authority, and there are multiple court cases that identify that Congress sets immigration policy,” said King, who argued Obama has already flagrantly violated his authority on other decisions on immigration policy.

“He didn’t have legal authority to issue the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as DREAMers) memo,” King said. “And he didn’t have the authority to do the Morton memos, which waive prosecution for those whom the president considers not to be a violent threat to society.”

The congressman stressed again the fight over executive authority versus enumerated powers for the Congress will determine the fate of America’s form of government.

“This constitutional republic cannot survive if we have a president who is going to defy the Constitution and his own oath to it,” King said. “Every member of Congress takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, House and Senate. We have a duty, too. That duty is to defend the Constitution.”...

Thousands Of Identity Thieves Pardoned By White House
By Michelle Malkin via Western Journalism — President Obama is poised to show his “compassion” this week by granting work cards to an estimated five million illegal immigrants through an imperial executive order. As for the vast, untold number of law-abiding citizens whose identities have been stolen by foreign law-breakers, two words: Tough luck.

Social Security card fraudsters have made out like bandits thanks to the White House. Their victims are about to get kicked in the teeth again. Two years ago, when Obama launched his first administrative amnesty known as “DACA” (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the White House gave aid and comfort to illegal alien applicants who were concerned that their previous felony identity theft and fraud crimes would preclude them from the new non-deportation benefits. The Department of Homeland (In)security made clear that illegal workers who wanted coveted employment documents would not have to disclose to the feds whether they used stolen Social Security numbers....

Billy Graham: In Our ‘Lawless And Wicked Age … We’ve Taught
The Philosophy Of The Devil -- ‘Do As You Please’
By Michael W. Chapman, CNS News — World renowned evangelist Rev. Billy Graham, the founder and chairman of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said that our children are growing up in a “lawless and wicked age,” infused with the “philosophy of the Devil, who says, ‘Do as you please.’”

Further, rearing children in this culture is difficult because “we have taken God out of our educational systems and thought we could get away with it,” said Rev. Graham. “We have sown the wind, and we are now reaping the whirlwind. We have laughed at God, religion and the Bible.”

Franklin Graham, also a pastor and one of Billy Graham’s sons, says that his father has good days and bad days and is still reading the Bible every day and praying frequently. Billy Graham turned 96 earlier this month on Nov. 7....

Muslims Chant To Remove Jesus At Washington’s National Cathedral

By David Lazarus, Israel Today — It looked like a chilling scene from a Last Days, anti-Christ-takes-over-the-world disaster movie. Hundreds of Muslims take over America’s most notable church, prostrate on their prayer rugs as their unified chant echoes out in full volume: “There is only one god, he begets not and I bear witness that Muhammad is His only servant and Apostle.”


For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16


Only this was not a movie. This was the scene, last Friday, for the first time in history, at the iconic National Cathedral in Washington, where orthodox Muslim clerics were invited to lead an Islamic prayer service. A congregation of hundreds were lead by an Imam in declaring that “god has no son, that Jesus Christ cannot be his son, and that there is no god like Allah.”

Only a single middle-age woman jumped up in the middle of the service and shouted, “America was founded on Christian principles. . . . Leave our church alone!” She was escorted quickly out of the church by security guards.

The National Cathedral in Washington, DC has been an extremely important symbol of the Christian roots of the United States. The cathedral was designated by Congress as America's "National House of Prayer." The church has hosted a number of inaugural presidential prayer services, including Franklin Roosevelt and both presidents Bush.

The Rev. Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, took to Facebook in reaciton to the Muslim prayer service:

“The National Cathedral in Washington, DC–one of the most prominent Episcopal churches in America–will host a Muslim prayer service to Allah. It’s sad to see a church open its doors to the worship of anything other than the One True God of the Bible, who sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to earth to save us from our sins. Jesus was clear when He said, 'I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'” John 14:6

As of this writing, 80,000 people had “liked” Graham’s post.

The Islamic service at the cathedral was ostensibly intended to promote interfaith dialogue. Its organizers said that they hoped the service would “help correct some Americans’ misperceptions of Muslims as extremists and reinforce tolerance among faiths.”

However, it is hard to understand how a Christian church opening its sanctuary for Islamic prayers that renonce Jesus Christ contributes to interfaith tolerance. Muslims would never allow a Christian to preach the Gospel in a mosque. Palestinian Muslims continue to ban all Jews and Christians from praying at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It would appear that “interfaith dialogue and tolerance” are just more code words calling for Muslims to rise up and conquer.

The Washington Post reported that the Islamic prayer service was closed to the public because of security concerns. Armed guards checked every person and every bag of those in attendance.

Islam is growing rapidly around the world, and is now the third-largest religion in the United States, behind Christianity and Judaism, with an estimated 2.6 million American Muslim citizens....

Benghazi SOLVED: U.S. Attacked By ISIS
By Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack, **SHOEBAT EXCLUSIVE** —
The west is losing its war with Islamic fundamentalism for one simple reason. It continues to play the game the enemy wants it to play. The Islamic world has learned that the more it parses itself up into separate groups for western consumption while actually operating as one homogeneous group, the more the west will engage in cat-herding while the Islamic State expands, as Shoebat.com has reported.

If you want to know who attacked the U.S. in Benghazi on 9/11/12, it was ISIS....

President Obama Shares The Blame For Tuesday’s Synagogue Attack
 photo 112014TR.jpg
The only people in the world this president bans from living anywhere they want are the Jews.

By Jeff Dunetz, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt — On Wednesday morning in Jerusalem, life began to return to some semblance of normalcy. Worshipers returned to the Kehilat Bnai Torah synagogue, which was attacked the day before. As Akiva Pollack, a paramedic who was one of the first to the terror scene on Tuesday, stressed, it was important to return to normal. "When I see the synagogue full, I know they are the people who believe the synagogue will not close but will be strengthened. What we need to do is come back here and pray."

It's natural at times like this for thoughts to turn to how such a thing could happen. How people in a holy sanctuary wearing the tools of their faith, tallis and tefillin, trying to connect to God through the words and emotions of their prayers, could be slaughtered. How an arm wrapped seven times between the wrist and the elbow by the strap of the Tefillin to serve as a "sign" and "remembrance" that God brought the Jews out of Egypt to the holy land they now prayed in, could be hacked off by such evil.

The day of the attack Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu justifiably blamed the incitement led by Palestinian President Abbas for the attack. But not all of the incitement comes from Abbas. Hatred is also generated by a EU that uses a hatred of Israel as a cover for the hatred of Jews they embraced seventy-plus years ago.

If the Palestinian Authority is criticized (and they should be), Obama's incitement should be outed also....

‘Open Rebellion’: Chaos If Republicans Don’t Withhold Funding For Obama Executive Amnesty
By Matthew Boyle, Breitbart — Conservatives say that Republican leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, will be “complicit” in President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty if they don’t pull out all the stops to block him.

They warn that chaos is around the corner if that’s how it goes down, even though they’d much rather have Republican leaders fight the president alongside them. “Fight or be complicit in lawlessness,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Breitbart News, is the message to congressional GOP leaders on Obama’s amnesty....

Is What Obama’s Doing On Immigration
So Different From Reagan And Bush? Yes- VERY Different!

By Greg Campbell, TPNN — For decades, the political realities surrounding immigration reform have been undeniably daunting. From our earliest moments as a nation, we have had a complicated history with immigrants. Whether discussing our history as a nation of immigrants or addressing those immigrants that were captured and enslaved to the anti-immigrant sentiment during the heydays of Ellis Island, we have had difficulty with this topic.

Still, we face a much more clear-cut issue today: do we have a right to enforce immigration laws? The answer for citizens of every other country on the planet is a most-decided and unequivocal “yes!”

However, politicians have augmented the problem considerably over the last few decades. Democrats have increasingly relied on illegal immigrants to boost Democrat votes and Republicans have tried to remain out of the fray and appear centrist on the issue of illegal immigration. Now, we have a full-scale crisis on our hands and we are days away from a dictator issuing amnesty on his own.

[See full story link below for entire article]...

Further, even if we accept that both Reagan and Bush the elder overstepped their bounds in adjusting the enforcement of immigration statutes, this does not grant Obama authority to step even further beyond the confines of the Constitution.

So, no; sorry, Democrats, there is no legal precedent for Obama’s tyranny....

The Federal Government Has Usurped Its Power
And Betrayed WE THE PEOPLE


Obamacare Over 10,000 Pages Of Regulations!
“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.”
– James Madison one of the authors of our Constitution


By Keith Davies Political Correspondent, Shoebat Foundation — Whether one agrees with the “Unaffordable” Care Act or not, one thing is now crystal clear is that the bill was passed with the deliberate objective of decieving the American people. For those that are paying attention it has become blatantly obvious that the whole leadership of the Democrat party were involved in this massive conspiracy to defraud and not just the President.

We conservatives all knew that this bill was a fraud from the start but the brazen arrogance of economics professor of MIT Jonathan Gruber has now blown away any doubt that may have remained in the public forum about the disgusting strategies and tactics of the left. The left have sheer contempt for our system of government and the democratic principles they are meant to respect and preserve. The Democrats mean to dictate every aspect of our lives, to control us with laws and restrictions that contradict the founding principles of the United States of America. The whole of this administration has been based on one lie after another, and the Republicans were just elected to stop this evil regime.

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
