SENATOR CLAIMS OBAMA TIED TO ISIS

Democrats Push For Republican’s Resignation

GLOBAL JIHAD — A Maine Republican state senator is apologizing to his colleagues for a Facebook post suggesting President Obama’s family members are part of Islamic State, but he’s resisting Democrat calls for him to resign.

Sen. Michael Willette’s troubles began March 1 when he reposted a picture to his Facebook page critical of Obama.

“I’ve been very good over the last year and a half not posting things about Obama, but this one was too good to pass up. I promise this will be the last one for some time,” he commented when posting the image of Obama speaking into a microphone, appearing to say, “Why haven’t I done anything about ISIS? Because I’ll deal with them at the family reunion.”

The post, along with earlier ones publicized by a liberal blogger that reportedly expressed animosity to Muslims and accused members of the administration of being part of the Muslim Brotherhood, brought criticism from the state’s Democrat Party.

“Senator Willette’s extensive history of offensive, bigoted and racist remarks suggests that they represent his core beliefs, which have no place in the State House and damage the integrity of the office he holds,” Chairman Phil Bartlett said in a statement, according to Associated Press.

“I am as far from being a racist as you can get,” said Willette, who served in the Gulf War. “When I served in the military I had a vast array of friends. Any connotation to racism in those posts, if that is what it was construed to be, that is not the intent.”

Willette – a former Democrat – said he had voted for Obama in 2008 but has become frustrated with his policies and performance since, prompting him to make critical remarks.

“I think many of us can identify with the temptation to not listen to our better angels and instead to lash out publicly against those with whom we disagree,” he said in an apology given to his colleagues. “As a state legislator, I am held to a higher standard — we all are — and we need to show restraint.”

Willette rejected calls by Democrats that he resign, and the Republican leadership appears to be resisting Democrat demands the senator be reprimanded.

Noting Willette’s apology, Senate President Michael Thibodeau said, “Sen. Willette feels terrible about what’s happened and we’ve talked several times about what’s the best way to express his regret on the situation. I think he did that today. I don’t know what else anybody could expect.

“It’s sad if we get to the point where we fan this flame just to score political points.”...

WATCH: The Litigation Begins – AP Finds Many Holes In Hillary’s Story, Files Lawsuit
By Drew Curry, TPNN — It would appear we are just in the beginning phases of email-gate as the Associated Press has just filed a lawsuit against the State Department to release the email correspondence and documents from Hillary Clinton’s private email when she was Secretary of State.

But the lawsuit from the Associated Press to the State Department isn’t the first time the Associated Press has attempted to retrieve those records. Five years ago, and several more since the Associated Press has attempted to see these records by filing requests under the Freedom of Information Act.

“The Freedom of Information Act exists to give citizens a clear view of what government officials are doing on their behalf. When that view is denied, the next resort is the courts.” Said AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll

Unfortunately, Clinton very well could have already destroyed any incriminating documents and emails because they were stored on her private home server. But don’t worry, those were just personal emails.

Did she really say that?

In the press conference, Hillary said she never sent any emails that may have contained classified information. Many find that notion hard to believe. Does she really expect people to believe that she never once corresponded regarding classified information?

This is especially hard to believe since almost anything remotely important gets rubber stamped “confidential.” According to the Information Security Oversight Office, in 2013 over 80 million documents were labeled as classified.

Now it seems, the courts will decide whether or not we will know for sure....

Rand Paul: I Don’t Like Being Lectured On The Constitution By An Administration That Tramples It

Argues He Signed The Iran Letter As A Message To Obama

By Justin Koski, Western Journalism — Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., slammed the Obama administration at a Foreign Relations Senate Committee meeting about being lectured about the Constitution by an administration that routinely ignores and subverts it.
This is an administration who I believe has trampled the Constitution at many turns. This is an administration that seeks to legislate when it is not in their purview, whether it be immigration, whether it be health care, or whether it now be a war that’s been going on for eight months without congressional authorization.
Paul continued in his rant by remarking on signing Tom Cotton’s open letter to Iran that said any agreement reached on Iran’s nuclear program would have to be approved by Congress. He said that the letter was really a message to Obama and an administration that doesn’t understand the role of Congress.

“The message was to President Obama, that we want you to obey the law, we want you to understand the separation of powers,” Paul said. “The president says, ‘Oh, the Congress won’t do what I want, so I’ve got a pen and I’ve got my phone and I’m going to do what I want.’ The letter was to you.”...

Fox News Talker: Ferguson Mob ‘Incited’ By Holder
Points finger at AG for inflammatory language in Justice report

By Cheryl Chumley, WND — Bob Massi, a legal analyst for Fox News, made a morning broadcast appearance to discuss the shootings of two police officers in Ferguson, laying the blame for the recent violence squarely at the feet of the Obama administration and Attorney General Eric Holder.

Massi referred to the recent release of the Department of Justice’s report on Ferguson police, and its finding of systematic discrimination on the part of city officials toward the mostly minority community, and said Holder made inciteful statements about its contents.

“When you look at some of the words of Eric Holder,” Massi said, during the “Fox & Friends” segment, “there was a way for him to present that report that doesn’t incite that type of emotion.”

Holder said on Friday that he would use all the power of the Justice Department to hold Ferguson officials accountable and to enact widespread city government reforms.

His exact words: “We are prepared to use all the power that we have … to ensure that the situation changes there.” And when asked if that potential action included dismantling the Ferguson Police Department, Holder said: “If that’s what’s necessary, we’re prepared to do that.”...

Greece Says Bail Us Out Or Suffer Jihad!

CleanTV: Family-Friendly Television and Video On Demand

Transcript: Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos warns Europe that if no bailout of its economic crisis is forthcoming, his nation will flood Europe with migrants and jihadists, providing them with papers to travel legally throughout the continent.

Greece is expected to go broke this month.

Kammenos said “If Europe leaves us in the crisis, we will flood it with migrants, and it will be even worse for Berlin if in that wave of millions of economic migrants there will be some jihadists of the Islamic State, too.”

European Union finance chiefs are currently debating whether to continue a bailout plan, with Germany a deciding vote.

“If they strike us, we will strike them,” the official said. “We will give to migrants from everywhere the documents they need to travel in the Schengen area, so that the human wave could go straight to Berlin.” The Schengen area is passport-free.

Only Britain would be spared the threat, if carried out, as it has retained its border controls.

While Obama Makes Deals With The Islamic Government Of Iran, He Is Doing Absolutely Nothing For All Of The Christians Iran Is Persecuting Right Now

By Theodore Shoebat, Shoebat Foundation — While Obama is making deals with Iran on the use of nuclear energy, he is not at all mentioning the persecuted Christians as leverage against the Iranians. Persecution against Christians in Iran is at an all time high right now, and not a word from Obama on this. According to a report that came out just today:

Christians continue to be arbitrarily arrested and interrogated because of their faith. Some face “severe physical and psychological torture” during detention, and simple prayer or Bible study meetings are regarded as political activities that threaten the national security of Iran, the report says.

Churches can be closed down if they use the national language, Farsi, and Christians are regularly given long prison sentences and beatings. The worst punishments are reserved for those who convert to Christianity from Islam, when they are caught gathering in their informal house churches, and for their pastors.

Two all-party parliamentary groups, Christians in Parliament and International Freedom of Religion or Belief, joined forces to investigate the persecution of Christians in Iran.

The report details the case of one man sentenced to death simply for questioning some of the tenets of Islam on social media. Sadeq Saba, editor of BBC Persian, told the inquiry: “I hear from some people that the reason the regime is taking such a tough line against people like him is because a lot of people are becoming disappointed with Islam as a religion because of what the regime is doing.”...

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
