ObamaCare Architect And MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber’s Remarks About The “Stupidity” Of The American Voter And The Passage Of ObamaCare Is Bad Enough
NTEB News Desk — What is even more disturbing are his comments about the bill’s deliberate lack of transparency. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest’s denials Thursday were also absurd.
The arrogance and condescension that has too often characterized the Obama administration’s policies have put the American public in the unfortunate position of having to learn about the health care changes the hard way, on their own.
Here are three crucial changes that the president clearly didn’t want you to know about:
1. HUGE DEFICITS AND NEW TAXES. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the latest projections for the net cost of ObamaCare over the next ten years are
just over $1.4 trillion. Whereas President Obama promised in 2009 that it would
cost less than $1 trillion over ten years. In order to partially pay for this, ObamaCare has added more than
20 new taxes totaling over $500 billion.
2. BUREAUCRACY. Speaking of Orwellian politics, ObamaCare includes
159 new boards and agencies to restrict and govern your health care choices.
3. STILL MORE BUREAUCRACY. Dysfunctional state exchanges with high deductible policies, narrow doctor networks,
including federally-run exchanges in 36 states which may not be allowable under the law (SCOTUS currently considering this case).
Here are three new things coming up in 2015 that you aren’t going to like:
1. PENALTIES WILL RISE – INDIVIDUAL MANDATE. In 2014, people are facing a penalty of $95 per person or 1% of income.
In 2015, the penalty will more than triple to $325 per person or 2% of income, whichever is higher.
If an American failed to get coverage this year, the penalty will be
taken out of their tax refund in early 2015.
2. SERIOUS RATE HIKES FOR CHEAPER OBAMACARE PLANS. According to Investor’s Business Daily, the lowest cost bronze plan will increase an average of 7 % in many cases, the lowest cost silver plan by 9%, and the lowest priced catastrophic policy will climb 18 percent on average.
Double digit rate hikes are anticipated in several southern and Midwestern states including
Kansas, Iowa, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Iowa, and Virginia.Subsidies will continue to be a
huge part of the program. In 2014, subsidies provided ¾ of the premiums for the federally-run exchanges.
3. EMPLOYER MANDATE WILL TAKE EFFECT. After being delayed for a year, large businesses (100 or more employees in 2015, 50 or more in 2016)
will be required to offer affordable (and subsidized) health plans to at least 70 percent of their full time employees or face a $2,000-$3,000 penalty
per employee.
This mandate will lead to fewer full time employees being hired.
The latest Kaiser Family Foundation poll in July revealed that 53 percent of those surveyed had an
unfavorable view of ObamaCare.

The Betrayal of America
“For generations the Bible has warned of the coming End of Days, you are now living in that time. America, a nation raised up by the Hand of God to spread the Gospel and to be a beacon of Freedom for people around the world is about to be forever silenced by those sworn to protect her — her leaders.” - Now The End Begins
IRAN’S LETTER TO OBAMA: THANKS FOR THE NUKES!
You’ve Read The News - Now Understand It
You’re Smart To Go Behind Everyone’s Backs
When Dealing With Us
Noah Beck , Israel Today —
Dear President Obama,
You’ve been a great friend for the last six years and, to express our appreciation, we’d like to acknowledge some of your many helpful actions:
1) In 2009, our presidential election results were so dubious that millions of brave, pro-democracy protesters risked their lives to demonstrate throughout our country. When our Basij paramilitary force brutalized them,
you kept your response irrelevantly mild for the sake of “engaging” us. That surely helped Iranians understand the risks of protesting our “free” election of 2012 (
involving our eight handpicked candidates). It was indeed a very orderly rubberstamp.
2) After eight years of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, we KNEW you’d fall for the smiles of his successor, President Hassan Rouhani!
Human rights abuses have actually worsened under his rule and his polished charm only makes him better at duping the world into acquiescing to our nukes, so we LOVE how you’ve overlooked these facts.
7) Speaking of enforcing red lines, we LOVE how you backed off yours, after our Syrian buddy, Basher Assad, used chemical weapons on his own people. That was a very helpful signal to everyone that we need not take your threats too seriously (contrary to those scary words you issued in 2012 about how stopping our nukes militarily was still an option, unlike containment, and how
you don’t bluff). But we understood back then that you were trying to get re-elected, so we didn’t take it personally.
12) It’s so cute of you to write us these
letters asking for help against ISIS and showing us how desperately you want a nuclear deal. All we had to do was
hint at an ISIS-for-nukes exchange and you got so excited!
And after everyone sees the killer deal that you’re giving us, the world’s bad actors will line up to talk to you, with demands of their own that you can try to satisfy in the hope that they’ll stop opposing your national interests so much.
Overall, we appreciate you even more than we did President Carter, because getting nukes is WAY COOLER than holding 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days.
With our deepest gratitude,
Your Friends in the Iranian Regime

Obama Grants Refugee Status
To Immigrant Children
It gets better...
L. Todd Wood — This is story you haven’t heard much about recently in the mainstream media.
There is a reason for that.
We just had an election, and the Obama administration obviously put out the word to the media over the summer to STOP talking about this story. It was becoming bad politics.
Have you heard much about it lately? I didn’t think so.
But, the story has NOT gone away; no, it has just gone underground. ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN have filed it away with the IRS, Gruber, and the dead VA veterans. Until today.
The truth is the Obama administration is granting refugee status to migrant children who are still in other countries that do not share a border with the United States. That means any child that has relatives in the U.S. can claim refugee status and get a residency permit and naturalization five years later.
The presidents of the Central American countries involved said today, tongue in cheek, that they will
work to stem the flow of migrant children.
Yeah, right. This means a big green flashing sign will be posted on the southern border — COME GET YOUR FREE EVERYTHING AND VOTE DEMOCRAT!
ABC reports today: U.S. officials said that children deemed refugees will be able to work immediately upon arrival in the U.S., opt for permanent residency the following year and for naturalization five years later. They did not say how long the process of receiving refugee status will take.
It gets better. The children don’t have to even make the trek through Mexico to the U.S. southern border anymore. No, America is going to send planes to Central America to directly fly them here!
I have nothing against legal immigration as it is a positive for America and always has been. But this is ludicrous. And, it’s illegal and wrong.
My fear is that this is just one of the many steps King Obama is going to take to finish the job of radically changing America during his term in office. In twenty years, we will not recognize this country.
The English tradition of the rule of law will be gone. The Constitution will be gone–and along with it the system of checks and balances.
This has all happened before, you know.
The Roman republic ceased to exist as well. The Roman Senate was relegated to the sidelines.
They devalued their currency and shrank their military. The emperor assumed all power.
We all know how that turned out.

Queen Michelle Obama Receives $70K Gift From Islamic Monarch
By Greg Campbell, TPNN — Princess Michelle Obama is one lucky lady. Not only is she allowed to enforce her will on children and parents across the country without ever having been elected to office and not only does she get to jetset around the globe on the taxpayer dime with her family, but she also is the recipient of lavish gifts from heads of state. The queen of Brunei, an oil-rich nation, gave Michelle Obama golden earrings, a necklace and a ring- all valued at over $70,000 in 2013 according to the State Department. The set reportedly entails “flower-shaped white gold earrings, ring and necklace studded with yellow sapphires and diamonds.”
Of course, if we had an objective media, this very well might hurt the Obamas’ credibility when discussing the pressing issue of lessening the gap between the rich and the poor. It’s hard to make that case when one is privileged to private concerts, lavish dinners and gifts of jewelry from heads of state.

Sen. Ron Johnson Slams Democrats’ Turnabout On Keystone Pipeline
By Todd Beamon, Newsmax — The about-face by Democrats in support of the Keystone XL pipeline as the $8 billion project nears a critical vote in the Senate next week smacks of "100 percent pure political maneuvering," Sen. Ron Johnson told Newsmax on Friday.
"What’s remarkable to me is that Mary Landrieu has the gall to say in interviews that there’s no politics involved in this at all," the Wisconsin Republican said, referring to
the embattled Louisiana Democrat whose political future may depend on her being able to get the 60 votes needed to approve the pipeline. "That’s all this is." The first-term Johnson then likened Landrieu's remarks to those disparaging Americans by Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber.

EXCLUSIVE: In Scathing Letter To Obama, Former FBI Assistant Director Slams Holder As “Chief Among Antagonists” In Ferguson
By Katie Pavlich, Townhall — As the Senate prepares to hold confirmation hearings for new Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch and as outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder continues to allocate Department of Justice resources to the situation in Ferguson, former FBI Assistant Director and Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund President Ron Hosko has sent a scathing letter to President Obama detailing the damage done to the relationship between law enforcement and DOJ over the past six years.
"The hyper-politicization of justice issues has made it immeasurably more difficult for police officers to simply do their jobs. The growing divide between the police and the people – perhaps best characterized by protesters in Ferguson, Mo., who angrily chanted, “It’s not black or white. It’s blue!” – only benefits of members of a political class seeking to vilify law enforcement for other societal failures. This puts our communities at greater risk, especially the most vulnerable among us," Hosko wrote in the letter exclusively obtained by Townhall. "Your attorney general, Eric Holder, is chief among the antagonists. During his tenure as the head of the Department of Justice, Mr. Holder claims to have investigated twice as many police and police departments as any of his predecessors. Of course, this includes
his ill-timed decision to launch a full investigation into the Ferguson Police Department at the height of racial tensions in that community, throwing gasoline on a fire that was already burning. Many officers were disgusted by such a transparent political maneuver at a time when presidential and attorney general leadership could have calmed a truly chaotic situation."

Military Atheist Activist
Goes After ROTC Programs At Christian Schools
By Allen West — The secular humanists are on the offensive again and this time it’s not the Freedom from Religion Foundation but the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) and former U.S. Air Force Academy graduate, Mikey Weinstein. Weinstein now has an Army ROTC program in his sights.
Todd Starnes writing for Fox News asks,
“Do Christian colleges have the right to require that ROTC officers [instructors] be followers of the Christian faith? That’s the crux of a controversy surrounding the ROTC program at Wheaton College, one of the nation’s most prominent Christian schools. The ROTC program at Wheaton College has a long and storied history that is steeped in the school’s Christian tradition. The Rolling Thunder Battalion was established in 1952. The college required all freshmen and sophomore male students to participate in ROTC until 1969.”

‘Worship Only Jesus Christ’:
Woman Ejected From Muslim Prayer Gathering at National Cathedral
“For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus”
1 Timothy 2:5
By Heather Clark — (WASHINGTON) A woman who proclaimed the name of Jesus Christ during the first-ever Islamic Jumaa prayer gathering at Washington’s National Cathedral was ejected from the building on Friday.
“Jesus Christ died on that cross over there,” the unidentified woman declared as she stood in the front of the room. “He is the reason why we are to worship only Him. Jesus Christ is our lord and savior!”
A man nearby immediately approached her and attempted to reach for her arm, but she pulled away.
“We have built, and allowed you here in mosques across this country,” she continued. “Why can’t you worship in your mosque, and leave our churches alone?”
Another man approached as she was speaking and began to escort her out.
According to reports, the woman made the declaration immediately following the opening announcements that commenced this afternoon.
As previously reported, while the national cathedral has hosted interfaith gatherings in the past, the Islamic Jumaa prayers presented today at the historic Episcopalian site were the first of its kind. The idea for the invitation originated during the planning stage for the memorial service for African apartheid leader Nelson Mandela as talks between the cathedral’s liturgical director, Gina Campbell, and South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool took place.
The cathedral stated earlier this week that the goal of the event is to facilitate greater acceptance between Christians and Muslims, calling the Islamic Jumaa prayers at the house of worship a “powerful symbolic gesture.”
“Leaders believe offering Muslim prayers at the Christian cathedral shows more than hospitality,” representatives for the National Cathedral wrote in a press release about the matter. “It demonstrates an appreciation of one another’s prayer traditions and is a powerful symbolic gesture toward a deeper relationship between the two Abrahamic traditions.”
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers...”
2 Corinthians 6:14
“This is a dramatic moment in the world and in Muslim-Christian relations,” Rasool added. “This needs to be a world in which all are free to believe and practice and in which we avoid bigotry, Islamaphobia, racism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Christianity and to embrace our humanity and to embrace faith.”
In addition to Campbell and Rasool, Masjid Muhammad of The Nation’s Mosque, representatives from the All Dulles Area Muslim Society, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Islamic Society of North America and Muslim Public Affairs Council were all in attendance. The event was also facilitated so that Muslims would face Mecca during the Jumaa prayers.
Washington’s National Cathedral has traditionally been recognized as the cathedral of the presidents, being used for inaugural-based prayer services for the past 106 years. It has also hosted the funeral services for Presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Dwight Eisenhower, and was dubbed the “National House of Prayer” by the U.S. Congress.
As previously reported, last year, over two thousand people joined Barack Obama and Joseph Biden for an interfaith service surrounding the president’s re-inauguration. The service included a variety of guests from a number of religions, who presented Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Sikh and Jewish prayers for Obama.
Leaders of the National Cathedral have also come out in support of same-sex “marriage,” and have opened the facility to be used for “gay marriages.”...
Christians: Muslims ‘Conquering’ Washington National Cathedral
By Leo Hohmann, WND — American Muslims were invited to offer prayers to Allah inside the nation’s most iconic Christian church Friday in Washington, D.C., but the intended message of peace, harmony and tolerance isn’t so well received in Muslim countries, according to Christian leaders contacted by WND.
The Washington National Cathedral, which earned the title “America’s House of Prayer” for its hosting of presidential funerals and inauguration-related prayer services,
was turned into a virtual mosque in which Muslims bowed toward Mecca and shielded their eyes from the Christian cross....
Ultrasound Shows Baby Boy Smiling Ear to Ear,
Now He’s the “Happiest Baby” Ever
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. ~ Psalm 139:13-14
By Sarah Zagorski, LifeNews.com — (London) Ultrasound has given humanity a window to the womb, which is why pro-life advocates have worked for the passage of legislation that would allow a mother to see her unborn child prior to an abortion.
Unfortunately, the abortion industry is not too fond of ultrasound legislation because it testifies to the humanity of the unborn child. In fact, statistics show that 78% of pregnant women who see an ultrasound of their baby reject abortion.
But if pro-abortion advocates really believe women should be able to exercise their right to “freedom of choice,” shouldn’t they be fully informed?

Melissa Francis: When I Worked At CNBC They Stopped Me From Telling The Truth About Obamacare
“I Was Silenced”
By Jeff Dunetz, Truth Revolt — During her Friday program on the Fox Business Network, Melissa Francis made a truly scandalous revelation: "When I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of Obamacare simply didn't work. Not the politics by the way; just the basic math. And when I did that, I was silenced."
Francis began her program with two of the recent Jonathan Gruber videos in which he admits that when he helped craft Obamacare, he picked
verbiage that would fool "stupid" Americans. Francis, who has a degree in economics from Harvard, followed the clip with her account of being taken out to the woodshed at CNBC after explaining that the basic math of Obamacare didn't make sense.

Muslim ALLAH Worshiped And Praised SUPREME
On U.S. House Floor
By Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack, **SHOEBAT EXCLUSIVE**
With newly re-elected Speaker of the House John Boehner presiding AND BOWING HIS HEAD, the Imam for the Islamic Center of Central Jersey praised Islam’s Allah from the House floor as the God who reigns supreme. Here is the shocking video of Imam Hamad Chebli delivering the Islamic prayer; Boehner can be seen behind him
Chebli didn’t just appear at the House floor; he also delivered Islamic prayers at the National Cathedral which was prepared for Muslim prayers with rugs.
Numerous speakers, including Cathedral officials and local Muslim leaders, echoed Rasool’s message [Muhammad's Message] about the urgent need for religious understanding and collaboration. Most made pointed references to the symbolism of the majestic Christian building, where they had gathered to pray and commune.
Rev. Gary Hall, dean of the Cathedral, spoke of St. Benedict, whom he said believed equally in the importance of prayer and hospitality. Marvelling at the sounds of Arabic prayers, which he called “a beautiful sacred language in a beautiful sacred space,” Hall said he hopes the service would serve as a beginning for future efforts to work together for good.
Rashid Makhdoom, a retired engineer from Potomac, said he believes the message and symbolism of the event would “reverberate throughout the world.
It should be a lesson for Muslims everywhere that we and Christians are all one,” he said.
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers...”
2 Corinthians 6:14
“For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus”
1 Timothy 2:5
But that wasn’t all true, fortunately, there appeared a “Deborah”, “Jael” and a “Judith” in that one Christian woman made a scene when it became obvious that an act of conquest and harlotry was taking place, she screamed out:

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
