When You See What Obama Just Did,
You’ll Wonder Whose Side He’s On

By Matthew Burke — As the world is still in shock following the horrific Islamic terrorist events in France and around the world, Obama has just taken action that will leave millions of Americans scratching their heads and asking themselves, ‘Is Obama playing for the wrong team?”

Five hardened Islamic terrorists have been released by the Obama Regime, the same group of folks who, for some strange reason, are not willing to utter the words “Islamic terrorism,” from the Guantanamo Bay prison (GITMO), the regime announced late Wednesday.

“We are committed to closing the detention facility. That’s our goal and we are working toward that goal,” Obama State Department Spokesman Ian Moss.

Obama repeatedly promised to close the facility to his well-heeled, anti-American leftist supporters during his first presidential campaign against John McCain during which he made it seem like he was running against George W. Bush.

All five of the Islamic terrorists were from Yemen, known to be the country that has produced a very high number of radical terrorists throughout the world. One of the terrorists was sent to Oman, while four others were sent to Estonia.

Neither of the two countries had previously accepted prisoners previously held at Guantanamo Bay.

After release of the latest five by Obama, there are now just 122 detainees left at GITMO.

Obama has came under fire after his refusal to attend the anti-terrorism “Unity March” in France, with over 50 world leaders, while the regime scrambles to invent excuses that the gullible will swallow. ...

229 Years Ago Today,
The Virginia Statute For Religious Freedom Was Passed

By William Federer, Western Journalism — The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom was passed by Virginia’s Assembly on JANUARY 16, 1786. It was drafted by Thomas Jefferson and commemorated on his tombstone. Did Jefferson intend to limit the public religious expression of students, teachers, coaches, chaplains, schools, organizations, and communities? Jefferson wrote in his original 1777 draft of the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom:
“Almighty God hath created the mind free, and…all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments…tend only to begat habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of religion, who being Lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do, but to extend it by its influence on reason alone.”...
The First Amendment has been twisted to the point that freedom of religion is in danger of becoming freedom from religion.

Sovereignty Alert: MEXICO Begins Issuing Birth Certificates
IN THE UNITED STATES

By Matthew Burke, TPNN — The Mexican government began issuing birth certificates at its 50 consulates in the United States on Thursday, a move that is a shocking affront to United States sovereignty, and is the consequence of Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional amnesty for millions of illegal aliens moving forward. Previously, Mexican citizens were required to get their birth certificates from offices in Mexico, but now Mexican citizens, residing in the United States, will be able to receive documents faster, allowing them to receive Obama’s illegal amnesty in an expedited manner. ...

Christian Writer Responds To Ellen DeGeneres With Open Letter
— And A Warning About Redefining Marriage

By Billy Hollowell, TheBlaze — The spat between talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and Christian commentator Larry Tomczak continued Thursday morning, with Tomczak penning an open letter to the comedian in which he questioned the societal consequences of accepting gay marriage.

“Ellen, a nation rises or falls on marriage,” he wrote. “If we dismantle this pillar of society, as it has existed for over 5000 years of Western civilization and redefine it to accommodate other arrangements such as yours (or those advocating for polyamorous, polygamous or other configurations) what will be the consequences for this sacred institution and the future of our nation?”

Tomczak affirmed his belief that marriage must be restricted to one man and one woman and that the historical narrative has always been consistent on the matter, highlighting some of the reasons he believes “gay ‘marriage’ is morally wrong.”

Among his arguments, Tomczak said that same-sex unions violate biblical teaching and contradict nature and the basic design of both men and women....

Haters Bully Donors: ‘Burn Their F---ing Churches To The Ground’

By Bob Unruh, WND — As Democrats push the Federal Election Commission to disclose information about citizens who donate to advocacy groups, a legal team that defended California’s traditional-marriage initiative argues the death threats Proposition 8 supporters received from “gay” opponents are reason to protect identities. “Disclosure can have severe consequences, as evidenced by the experience of ProtectMarriage,” said James Bopp Jr. of the James Madison Center. Bopp explained the FEC now is making new donor and information rules, including determining what data will be collected from donors and released to the public....

‘The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven’ Recants Everything

By Shane Ferro, Business Insider — "The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven" never actually went. Alex Malarkey, a young boy who coauthored a book with his father first published in 2010 about going to heaven and returning to earth, wrote an open letter to Christian publishers retracting his story. In 2004, Malarkey and his father, who is a Christian therapist, were in a bad car accident that left the 6-year-old boy paralyzed and in a coma. According to the book's Amazon page: "When Alex awoke from a coma two months later, he had an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious. Of the angels who took him through the gates of Heaven itself. And, most amazing of all ... of meeting and talking with Jesus."...

Did the Pope Justify the Charlie Hebdo Massacre?

By Ari Yashar, Arutz Sheva — Did Pope Francis justify the brutal Islamist attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris last Wednesday, in which 12 people were murdered in cold blood? The Vatican has snapped into overdrive trying to play down controversial comments made by the pope this Thursday, which are seen as blurring the lines of free speech. On a flight to the Philippines on Thursday, the pope spoke about the attack last week at the magazine which has published cartoons of Mohammed, the founder of Islam - along with cartoons poking fun at the pope and the Catholic church....

ISIS Throws Men to Their Deaths For Being Gay,
Stones Woman For Adultery

By Katie Pavlich, Townhall — New video has surfaced showing ISIS throwing men off of a building in front of a crowd. Their crime? Being gay. Other propaganda shows a woman being stoned to death for adultery and men being crucified on crossed for theft.

The Obama administration still refuses to say we're at war with radical Islam, despite extreme human rights abuses against the minorities they claim to stand up for. ...

Suppose Islam Had A Holocaust And No One Noticed

By Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Mag — While Western newspapers were debating whether or not to reprint the Mohammed cartoons, in Nigeria as many as 2,000 people were massacred by the Islamic State in Nigeria, also known as Boko Haram, in what is being called the deadliest attack by the Muslim group to date. Survivors described the Islamic State setting up efficient killing teams and massacring everyone while shouting “Allahu Akbar”. “For five kilometers (three miles), I kept stepping on dead bodies until I reached Malam Karanti village, which was also deserted and burnt,” one survivor said. There’s a word for that. It’s genocide....

Islamic Cleric In Tunisia Expresses Support
For Muslim French Terrorists From Pulpit

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com — Tunisia is a small country but as Shoebat.com reported, one of the terrorists who carried out the attacks on Charlie Hebdo has a connection to Tunisia. As a member of what is known as Paris 19 (19th district of Paris), Sharif Kouachi belonged to a group from which assassins who murdered Tunisian politicians belonged. Just four days after those Paris attacks, Tunisian cleric Bechir Ben Hassen preached from a pulpit that the murder of those who insult Islam’s prophet is justified in the Qur’an. It is not known if there is any connection between this cleric and Paris 19 but he and the terrorist group are obviously in solidarity on the issue....

Nigeria: Islamic Jihadists Murdered Woman
While She Was Giving Birth

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch —

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

Thus they think that when they kill, they are performing a blessed act.


...Yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you
will think that he doeth God service. ~ Jesus, John 16:2


“Boko Haram terrorists killed woman while she was giving birth,” by Michael Howie, London Evening Standard, January 16, 2015 (thanks to Twostellas):
A woman was killed while giving birth to a baby boy during a horrific attack by Boko Haram fighters in north-east Nigeria, it emerged today.

Amnesty International said it has collected eyewitness testimonies to the massacres in neighbouring towns Baga and Doron Baga last week, in which at least 150 people died and more than 3,700 homes and buildings were damaged or destroyed.

One man said that militants were shooting “indiscriminately”, killing small children and even a woman who was in labour. Another witness said he hid in the bush until he was found by Boko Haram fighters, who detained him in Doron Baga for four days.

“They killed so many people,” he said. “I saw maybe around 100 killed at that time in Baga. I ran to the bush. As we were running, they were shooting and killing.”

Meanwhile Chad announced that troops will be sent to neighbouring Cameroon to help it fight the Islamist militants attacking from Nigeria.

Boko Haram, which aims to carve out an Islamist state in northern Nigeria, has stepped up attacks in the region as Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, prepares for a presidential election next month. President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday made a surprise visit to north-east in the aftermath of the killings. Mr Jonathan told some of the 5,000 refugees who fled last-week’s violence: “I want to assure you that you will soon go back to your houses.”
Good luck with that....

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
