Bibles are being removed from Missing Man tributes at VA clinics and military bases. Why?


Todd Starnes  "It really takes a special kind of low-life to desecrate a military display honoring prisoners of war and those missing in action.
"Over the past several months the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has waged a campaign to have Bibles removed from “Missing Man” displays located on federal property. They claim the inclusion of the Bible is a violation of federal law.
"So far at least three VA medical clinics and one Air Force base have complied with the MRFF’s demands to cleanse the displays of the Good Book.
"I have been reporting on this religious cleansing for the past two years – and now a group of conservative organizations is preparing to fight back against the MRFF." . . .

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra, a major donor to the Clinton Foundation, was appointed director of UrAsia Energy Ltd, a British Virgin Islands offshore company in May 2005. In this photo, Giustra speaks alongside former President Bill Clinton during a news conference to announce the Clinton Foundation's launching of a new sustainable development initiative in Latin America in New York on June 21, 2007.

"Hillary Clinton recently blasted the hidden financial dealings exposed in the Panama Papers, but she and her husband have multiple connections with people who have used the besieged law firm Mossack Fonseca to establish offshore entities.
. . . "Clinton has struggled throughout her campaign to show that she can relate to working Americans, while Sanders has cast her as a wealthy out-of-touch Washington insider who hasaccepted hefty paychecks for speeches and received millions of dollars in campaign contributions from those tied to big businesses. Her connection to the Panama Papers, even if indirect, could magnify that perception."
. . . 
"Both Clinton and Sanders have vowed to go after Americans who try to hide their wealth.
"Clinton said she would shut down what she called the private tax system for the wealthy while Sanders has said he would end the trade deal with Panama within six months and investigate U.S. banks, corporations and individuals stashing their cash in Panama to avoid taxes.
“ 'We’re going after all these scams and make sure that everyone pays their fair share here in America,” she said. “I’m going to hold them accountable, and we’re going to have a special effort to track all these resources wherever they might lead.' ”

The Apology Tour of Our Next President

Victor Davis Hanson


"In Havana recently, President Obama talked of the similarities between Cuba and the United States, as if a constitutional republic of some 240 years and a thuggish and murderous communist dictatorship were kindred souls. In Argentina, Obama both tangoed and then apologized for the nth time for his country while abroad, this time supposedly for not opposing the brutal Argentine military dictatorship at the height of the Cold War. He also advised young people that there was not that much difference between communism and capitalism—without giving them a glimpse of his own retirement plans that will make the Obamas fabulously rich by following the hyper-capitalist post-presidential get-rich program of the Clintons.

"Obama also missed the irony that, while he had just warmed up to a present-day Cuban dictatorship with blood on its hands, he then blamed his distant predecessors for warming up to a long-gone Argentine dictatorship with blood on its hands. Argentine General Galtieri and his predecessors, who may have overseen the killing of some 20,000, are long dead; Raul Castro, who may have the blood of about the same number on his hands, is very much alive—and in the back-slapping company of President Obama. So the next chief executive might return to Argentina to apologize to its youth for his predecessor having suggested that capitalism and communism were essentially synonymous—given the 100 million people of the 20th century who were slaughtered by their own communist governments in China, the Soviet Union and Cambodia.

"As his presidency winds down, and there so far appears no positive legacy from it . . . 

HILLARY IN A SUIT: Top 17 Left-Wing Moments of John Kasich’s Endless Political Career

"Moreover, how can Kasich assert he is the best general election candidate when he agrees with President Obama and Hillary Clinton on every major issue of our time?  He will look like a fool at the debates agreeing to every premise of the Left and ceding over the moral high ground to their most repugnant policies."  
Doug Ross Journal  "As the race between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz becomes more acrimonious, many people are naturally attracted to a fresh alternative. John Kasich has the benefit of being so irrelevant he can’t even win a congressional district, much less a full state.  And precisely because he’s been so irrelevant, few have bothered to expose his true record.

"As we are learning throughout this primary season, the Republican Party is divided and diverse.  But the common denominator between all Republicans is that they want to move in a new direction, far away from the Obama agenda.  What is clear about John Kasich is that far from being a fresh alternative, he is the embodiment of what is fueling everyone’s anger.

"Here are the top 17 times Gov. Kasich’s left-wing tendencies on the most critical issues of our time have been on display: " . . .

Kasich: I ‘Probably’ Wouldn’t Sign Bill Keeping Men Out of Women’s Restrooms

Illinois Family Action
Kasich

. . . “Probably not,” Gov. Kasich responded. “I wouldn’t have signed that law from everything I know,” Gov. Kasich said. “I haven’t studied it. But Nathan Deal, the governor of Georgia, vetoed another one.”
"He said, “We are not having this issue in our state about this whole religious liberty.”
"That echoed comments made by Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina, as she said she would oppose a similar piece of legislation pending in her state. She also equated that act, which would bar biological males from using women’s accommodations, with religious liberty concerns.
"However, the bill’s author said his legislation has nothing to do with conscience concerns but is instead intended as a public safety measure.
"Gov. McCrory sounded a similar note after signing the bill, telling local media, “There’s absolutely no connection whatsoever” between this bill and a religious liberty bill like the one Gov. Deal vetoed. “They’re two different issues.”
"Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders oppose the bill, with Sanders saying last week, “I would do everything I can to overturn these outrageous decisions.” . . .

A Question for Comrade Bernie


American Thinker  . . . "Bernie’s choice reminds me historically of the halcyon days of international communist fraternalism in the 1930s when misguided Americans in the hundreds marched off to join the “Abraham Lincoln” brigades in Spain to fight alongside the communists there. What troubles me, though, is that those deluded idealists of the 1930s were totally clueless as to the track record of the communist Soviet Union with regard to the state-sponsored deaths of millions of its own citizens in the Great Famine and KGB (NKVD)-led purges. But Bernie, you knew of the millions murdered and of the Gulags and yet you still chose to spend your honeymoon in the real world equivalent of Mordor! If he did it today, I could chalk it up to Alzheimer’s, but in 1988? We sleepwalked in 2008 and 2012 through the revelations concerning Barack’s anti-American tendencies. Are we going to repeat our national mistake?
. . . 
"A people do get the government that they deserve! My advice to Bernie in fact is what the hell, it is 2016 in America, so I’d just come out of the closet completely and use “Communist” not “Socialist.” If Americans elected Barack twice and were okay with Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers and Valerie Jarrett, I think they’ll be more than fine with “Communist.” After all, a people ignorant of history will have great fun repeating it!" . . .

Where is Hillary Clinton's backbone?


It's turned out to be a little different, as we saw last night on CNN. Let's title this one: "The old man can punch and the little lady has lots of vulnerabilities".
Political Cartoons by Steve Kelley

Silvio Canto, Jr.  "Did I miss something on the way to Mrs Clinton's coronation?

"A year ago, the Democrat nomination process was such a done deal that a couple of guys came in the arena just to keep it honest. Governor O'Malley was probably looking for some national exposure.  

"Senator Bernie Sanders wanted to push ideas that have not worked anywhere. And former Senator James Webb stuck his toe in to see how far a centrist Democrat could swim in waters full of leftist sharks." . . .
My guess is that most of those kids supporting in Senator Sanders don't really remember Clinton for anything except for that terrible incident with the intern.
Then there is Hillary. She has folded and cracked. She is afraid of the left.
 
. . . "Then there is Hillary. She has folded and cracked. She is afraid of the left.  

"She won't defend her husband, even when he was right about NAFTA, talking back to those "Black Lives matters" mobs or discussing the crime bill of the 1990s endorsed by mayors and African American leaders and congressmen.

"Why didn't she look at Senator Sanders and say: "Yes, I voted for the war because I saw the evidence and came to the same conclusion that my husband, VP Gore, now Secretary Kerry, Minority Leader Reid, and so on. Yes, I felt that we had to think differently after 9-11."

"Show me some backbone. Show me that you can stand up to a bunch of people who believe that the answer to every world problem is gun control or calling everyone a racist." . . .

Monica Lewinsky: ‘The shame sticks to you like tar’

"Nearly 20 years ago, Monica Lewinsky found herself at the heart of a political storm. Now she’s turned that dark time into a force for good."

The Guardian

. . . "She was bustled upstairs to a hotel room filled with prosecutors and federal agents. She started to cry. They told her they were investigating claims that President Clinton had sexually harassed a former Arkansas state employee, Paula Jones, and that if Lewinsky didn’t cooperate with them she’d be charged with perjury and jailed for 27 years." . . .

. . . "Lewinsky was once among the 20th century’s most humiliated people, ridiculed across the world. Now she’s a respected and perceptive anti-bullying advocate. She gives talks at Facebook, and at business conferences, on how to make the internet more compassionate. She helps out at anti-bullying organisations like Bystander Revolution, a site that offers video advice on what to do if you’re afraid to go to school, or if you’re a victim of cyberbullying."
. . .  
"And so she pitched an idea to Vodafone. Could she design a keyboard of anti-bullying gifs and emojis for them?
“ 'And now you can get them on all carriers,” she says. “Look. Let me show you…' ”. . .
