Madonna, the diva of debauchery: Reaping what she's sown

Madonna will likely lose custody of a son who moved to another country to get as far away from her as possible and refuses to come home.  And so, as the woman who for 30-plus years has influenced millions of children to rebel and disregarded the wishes of their parents loses control of her own child, one can't help but wonder if Madonna likes how it feels.
Jeannie DeAngelis   "Anyone who does not believe in the Biblical principle of "sowing and reaping" – which is known as 'karma' in certain circles – should have a chat with aging 1980s pop icon Madonna.

"It seems the Diva of Debauchery is reaping the harvest of heartache that she has so diligently sown for almost thirty years.  Ms. Ciccone has negatively etched vulgar lyrics and images into the impressionable minds of children; purposely tainted the innocent; and, like a parasite, burrowed into the psyche and spirit of an entire generation. 

"It was Madonna who spent the greater part of the 1980s, and most of the '90s, expressing her sexuality at the expense of America's children.  When not parading around naked in pornographic picture books, Madonna Louise Ciccone defiled young minds by blaspheming via Christian symbols and extolling the merits of losing one's virginity.

"As we all know, "what goes around comes around," so it should be no surprise that the female exhibitionist who robbed millions of their innocence is currently being bitten by a very different, but equally painful, kind of karma." . . . Full article here.

Claim: White House adviser Valerie Jarrett once said she seeks "to help change America to be a more Islamic country."

Snopes says:
                                       FALSE

Sorry, I know many wanted to believe this. The claim:




. . . "Contrary to common rumor, however, neither Jarrett nor her parents are Iranian, nor (as far as we can tell) are any of them Muslim. " . . .

"Valerie was born in Shiraz (Iran) during the Bowmans' sojourn in Iran; she returned to the U.S. with her parents in 1962 (when she was five years old),. . . We've found no evidence Valerie Jarrett is (or ever was) Muslim, her only apparent connection to that religion being the incidental one that she temporarily lived in a predominantly Muslim country with her American parents for the first few years of her life. 

"The quote to attributed "Valerie Jarrett, Stanford University, 1977" about her "seek[ing] to help change America to be a more Islamic country" is an unfounded one that has no source other than recent repetition (primarily on right-wing web sites and blogs)." . . .

It hurts that the made-up rumor is attributed to the "right-wing" and probably accurately so. This comes not from intellectually conservative sources such as William F. Buckley, Victor Davis Hanson, National Review or many other dependable voices. In fact these rumors do damage to the reputations of great conservative minds and we on the right must not let rumor-mongers speak in our name. 
Enough empirical evidence of the damage done to our nation and allies exists without the need to manufacture any. As with Det. Mark Furman at the O.J. Simpson home, we do not need to frame the already guilty.

Rush Limbaugh on Trump: Much Bigger Upside than Downside (Video)

By Jim Hoft at theGatewayPundit   "Rush gets it.

"Popular conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh admitted on FOX News Sunday that there’s a “much bigger upside than downside” with Donald Trump’s candidacy."



"Rush was been lukewar[m] for the GOP frontrunner in recent weeks but there is no denying his ability to expand the Republican base in this year’s election.
"The Hill reported:
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Sunday that there’s a “much bigger upside than downside” in the Republican presidential candidacy of real estate developer Donald Trump.
“I think with the case of Trump, there’s a much bigger upside than downside,” said Limbaugh while appearing on “Fox News Sunday.”
Limbaugh also said he believes that the divide between the Republican establishment and conservatives is “longer, broader, wider than I have ever seen it.”

"Limbaugh said:
“They do great health things for women!” He acknowledges abortion’s no way. “We’re gonna defund ’em because of that,” but he… Folks, he’s running a national campaign here, and he’s talking about broadening the base. Last night he said, “We’re gonna unify.” Last night he acknowledged a point that I’ve been trying to make everybody here for weeks now, and that is that he has put together a coalition that’s way beyond the Republican base. It’s way beyond a conservative Republican base.
. . . "Trump continues to say that – if elected president – he will eliminate Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding as long as it performs abortions. He has quoted Planned Parenthood as saying that only three percent of its services are abortions. Though that percentage has been debunked many times by others, Planned Parenthood’s own CEO and president – Cecile Richards – admitted last week, “The abortion part of Planned Parenthood is an important part of what we do.' ”

Case Closed: Victory for WWII Memorial. In the 9th Circuit Court, of all places!

By - of all courts - the Ninth "Circus" Court!


"We are pleased to report that the battle over the WWII Memorial Jesus statue has come to an end.  It’s a significant victory against angry atheists that allows war heroes to be properly honored.
"As we expected, the Ninth Circuit’s[!] denial of review delivered a final blow to the attack. " . . .
. . . 
 "As you will recall, the battle began, almost 5 years ago, when the angry atheist group known as the Freedom From Religion Found[a]tion demanded that the over 60 year old WWII Memorial statue of Jesus be removed from Big Mountain in Montana. The six foot Jesus statue was originally erected in the Flathead National Forest by the Knights of Columbus to remember the service of the local veterans that bravely fought the Nazis in the Italian Alps. The statue held deep historical significance to residents and veterans in the community – reminding veterans of the statues that brought them hope and solace as they fought for freedom across Europe.
