Who's it gonna be?? By Jim Garrow
Biden
has too many obvious and glaring flaws for the Democrats to let him
beat Hillary, but without Hillary, it’s going to have a hard time
keeping him from dominating a list of obscure candidates. Write off
Hillary and the left unites behind Elizabeth Warren, the rest jump
behind Martin O’Malley and the media has to go into overdrive to try and
destroy Biden before he becomes their party’s nominee.
Either that or they embrace him.
Joe Biden may be a joke, but so is every candidate running. Hillary Clinton is Evita without the sense of style. Elizabeth Warren is a rich lawyer and academic inveighing against the 1 percent. Martin O’Malley had a rain tax. Bernie Sanders is the left-wing alternative that not even the left wants. Al Gore appears to be flirting with yet another presidential run. Biden may be a joke, but at least he knows it.

Biden may be a joke, but at least he knows it.
Biden thinks
that he can get the minority vote by riding in on Obama’s coattails and
polls suggest that he may be right. On a campaign trail against Bill
Clinton, he would lose, but he’ll be campaigning against the same
Hillary who was responsible for that awkward and uncomfortable UN email
press conference.
And the media likes Biden. It hasn’t fallen in love with him as their new messiah, but it will accept him a lot faster than it will accept Hillary Clinton.
Biden’s loose lips are a liability, but they have yet to cost him anything. His embarrassing debate behavior and any ridiculous thing he says have become part of his brand. By linking his fortune to Obama, Biden became bulletproof. As a running joke, he’s immune from any standards of behavior.
And the real joke is that Biden may end up having the last laugh from the Oval Office.

Jim Garrow "I Have a Dream"
Whereas the Dreams From My Father of Barack Obama are based in the destruction of America, the dreams hypothesized by Dr. Martin Luther King were uplifting and righteous.
In describing the DREAM of Obama we would need to boil it down to what it really means: Destroy the Republic Economically, through Amorality, and Militarily. It is in these three sweeping areas that the nation is being taken down. The military is being politicized into a fiefdom of loyalties to Bathhouse Barry and retasked from the protection of the nation and its interests to those of enabling the new allies in their goals and objectives. Note that all things islamic are enabled and enriched. The economic takedown of America follows the old canards of marxism in the redistribution of wealth from the "haves" to the "we deserves" and the profligate overspending of the federal government well beyond any means that America might have to repay its debt. This also includes a little known move on the part of Obama which you might be hearing for the very first time here. Allowing China to secure through trade offs and manipulation a a majority position as the debt holder of America. When Obama came into the Presidency the overall holdings of China in American debt paper were reported as 8%, which quickly climbed to 12% in a reported two years, then things became silent. Well 6 years into the Presidency of Barry Soetoro we find that China has finagled a position of holding 56% of Americas paper debt to the world. It seems that having friends in the World Bank Community and the International Monetary Fund who have not been reporting the huge shift of obligation of America from many nations across the glove (187 reported previously) to todays crushing load 56% of which is owned directly by China. The piper is now in a position to pick the tune.
We know about the morality or lack of it in the lying tongue of the man in the Peoples House. We cannot depend on the voracity of anything that he says from who he really is, where he was born, who his parents are, who his major influences have been, his base of morality (not the morality of Christian tradition), and his support of the islamist agenda first and foremost. He has violated the Constitution and the Rule of Law daring us to do something about it. He has stacked the Supreme Court with marxists and again dares us to challenge his moves on that front as well. He is clearly waiting for deaths to enable the total capture of that safeguard of America's Republican way of life.
And finally we know that should the need arise for defence of the nation he has clearly maneuvered the agenda so that the military's target will be We The People, in spite of the Law which does not allow the use of our military as a police force. I guess we were not supposed to notice where this was going.
Obama, Soetoro, whatever he wants to call himself (I wonder what his muslim name is), has thumbed his nose at the American people and the Dreams that have propelled her in service to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the promises made to Him by the Founding Fathers. He is setting up a different God for the nation to serve and he himself bows to it 5 times a day. This is an abomination and duplicitous in its clear intent to replace the DREAMS and ambitions of the Foundings with this other DREAM of Obama. When the people figure it out and rise up in rebellion, his loyalties will show as the dictator in him rises to crush any opposition to his dreams.
Will you be ready to stand firm and tall for the Republic and end this nightmare?

Charles Neuhoff - When someone is on the outside looking in, the picture looks TOTALLY different than it does to those on the inside
I live in South Africa but my heart is in America since we spent two and a half years there years ago. I love America and we have many good Godly friends living there. I read the American news every day and also read what many Godly pastors and prophets are saying and I know that a serious storm is brewing over America. God's servants sense it but from a distance and not IN the storm itself, this is the picture I see.
America is caught up in a vortex of destruction that is sucking the very life out of the people AND especially the Church. Lies abound MORE AND MORE every day and yet people are fast asleep, they are oblivious to the darkness and serious deception around them. Its as bad as it was when God spoke in Jeremiah 5:31 "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests (pastors) bear rule by their means; and My people love to have it so and what will you do in the end thereof". America has a president that is anti christ AND anti American. He has surrounded himself with liars that HATE America and live to see your total destruction. You have a Congress and Senate that are blind and are compromising your very assistance and they are merrily smiling and telling the American people that all is well. ALL IS NOT WELL. In actual fact America is sitting on a bomb and the fuse has already been lit. Destruction is imminent.
Sadly Obama, Congress, the Senate and even government ARE NOT responsible for your current "State of the Union", the Church of Jesus Christ is!!! You have turned your backs on Godly pastors and have not heard the voices of God's prophets that He has been sending year after year. You have rather listened to WOLVES that have made merchandise of you while you have willingly embraced their heretical "best life now" teachings. YOU, the Church, are responsible for the condition of America today. BUT your whole situation can change, YOU can touch the heart and hand of God by repenting. REPENTANCE is the ONLY thing that can STOP AND REVERSE America's destructive spiral into darkness. Listen again to Godly pastors and God sent prophets and turn. Repent my friends, repent before it is too late. Wolves NEED to be handed over to satan and Godly discipline must become part of our congregations again. AND STOP sending your indulgences to money-mongers. If you love sin more than you love God STOP calling yourself a Christian and GO SIN, but please please wake up and realize YOU ARE HELLBOUND and NO amount of money sent to wolves will pay your way into Heaven, no matter what charlatan Joseph Prince and his ilk may say.
I reiterate, I love America. God bless America!!

This man
From this blog
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” –Dr. Martin Luther King.
Today we see the opposite of Dr. King’s dream. We cannot judge the character of Barrack Obama because of the color of his skin. You are not allowed to judge his character.In this final blog on Barrack Obama I will address his character, explain why this is my last blog on Obama and in the process issue a solemn warning to the Church of Jesus Christ in the United States.
In 2007 I began warning people about this man and laid out in glaring detail the calamity that is now our reality. Many rejected me as a veritable madman for saying that one day America would look exactly the way she looks right now. We are divided, we are poor, we are hated in the world and we are about to lose forever our power to get back everything that Obama stole from our children’s future.
In 2010, the blogs began. No one but God knows the price that I have paid for writing these blogs. When I began, not one preacher that I knew was willing to publicly oppose Barack Obama.
I knew what this man was the first time I laid eyes on him. He set off a universal alarm in my spirit that forced me to change the way I relate to politicians. With Obama’s arrival a misty blanket of deception fell over the nation. Suddenly, the American public was dull to common sense and lost their ability to state the obvious.
Look into this man’s eyes and what do you see? You see a sinister pathological smugness and indifference to truth. He does not even attempt to put a spin on his debacles; he simply changes the subject and then orders us to consider only what he says next.
Obama does and says things on a daily basis that would end anyone else’s career. He slept through the murders of innocent Americans in Benghazi. He used the NSA to spy on Americans. He turned the IRS into a tool for his reelection. Because of this and ten thousand other crimes, he makes Richard Nixon look like Dudley Do-Right.
The media put a force field around him. It never confronts him about his lies or wonders about what he does in secret. No meaningful questions are permitted. Any line of questioning that would undermine his messianic narrative is taboo. No wonder this man believes he is accountable to no one.
He is laying the groundwork for a world without America. What is America? America is a firewall against tyranny. North Korea, Russia, China and Iran cannot take over the world until America is weak. This man Obama has, in 6 short years, weakened America more than all previous presidents combined.
He has crushed us under debt, he has us at each other’s throats, and he promotes thugs and demotes righteous leaders. The White House is staffed with all of the competence and wisdom of a banana republic.
I will be surprised if this man tries to invent a civil disorder just so he can stay in office.
However, I believe that his ability to lie, cheat, steal and injure with impunity is also fueled by the supernatural.
That misty blanket of deception that came on America is supernatural.
The widespread silence of American pastors is supernatural.
The moral grogginess of Americans is as if we’ve all been drugged supernaturally.
It is supernatural that the church cannot come together to answer the threat of this man.
It is supernatural that the church cannot galvanize against this man for the way he has turned on Israel in such an insulting and demeaning way. This alone proves his Antichrist spirit.
It is supernatural how Americans are not outraged by Obama’s preference for Islam.
It is supernatural that America can turn a blind eye to the world wide martyrdom of Christians. This man could not even call the 21 Coptic Christians who were beheaded, Christians.
It is supernatural that for the first time in our history the 3 most popular American pastors refuse to preach on repentance, the Cross, the Blood, the inerrancy of the Bible and the existence of hell.
It is supernatural that there are those who continue to support Barrack Obama and yet call themselves Christians. Since the teachings of Christ and the policies of this man are in perfect opposition to each other, why do they bother to call themselves Christians? Only the supernatural allows you to host such a contradiction in your mind.
It is the supernatural spirit of Antichrist that has allowed the illogical, the absurd and the inconceivable to feel normal.
And it is the supernatural power of God that has released me from writing about this man. When I began no one stood with me. Now many voices are speaking out. I pass this baton gladly.
Oh don’t think for a minute that I will stop exposing sin. I will now turn my attention to the public that is deceived and groping in darkness. I will preach revival and repentance like never before.
My energy will now go to preaching about the higher power that darkness cannot stand. I will however, remain a loving irritant in the side of pastors.
America can be brought out of this coma. God can send a divine desperation into the hearts of millions. That is now my unswerving mission…not this man.
should be in jail, or worse.. but won't. Invasion is what this really is
Around
half the estimated 700 Britons who have gone to fight with Islamic
State jihadists in Syria have returned home, The Sunday Telegraph
newspaper reported. The weekly broadsheet's figures, in a story about a
leaked draft of the Home Office...
Sad
There
is a pretty strong case for the idea that this wasn't suicide. That
Nick Gordon was involved. As long as she stays plugged in she is
technically alive and there can be no charges.. at least for murder.
And the whole fiasco of a reality show is still on the table. This is a
real mess and incredibly sad.
Stockton has apparently learned nothing from its embarrassing financial boondoggle.
Public housing projects are Democratic Party voter-farms whose construction allows contracts to go to favored players.
I have a reaction to Yesterday's Obama Speech at Selma.
I don't think I will publish it. I gave him the same courtesy he gave Bibi Netanyahu. I read the transcript and skipped the speech.
It was much of the same race bait that I expect from him. So.. I was not impressed, nothing new.. YAWN.
It occurred to me that he was 4 years old living in Hawaii when Selma went down. I was 20 and it mattered. He never lived the rejection and racism he now uses to manipulate people.
After he left Hawaii at age 6, he moved to Indonesia for 5 years. Not much of the struggle he talks about was there .. Then moving back to Hawaii he went to school until he graduated in 1979. Pretty safe upbringing. So everything he talks about, everything he emotes over is what he learned academically .. or from others. None of has ever been his experience. John Lewis was there... that's a different deal.
Theory and practice don't go hand in hand, my experience trumps anyone's second hand theory. So I didn't bother to make the time. He hasn't earned the right to make this speech.. he never has lived the life that Martin was walking in protest against.
HE WAS supposed to make a speech. Where I part company was the content of the speech. It ended up about gay rights, illegal immigrants and voting rights (which is the law, just not enforced) as he hijacked the civil rights struggle into politics of convenience and division. His NOT being there during the struggle or not having real world expericne today degrades any impact he could have made. If he were from the south, if it were John Lewis or Condi Rice who were there in the day, it would be worthy. If he walked the hard streets of Birmingham growing up, if he hadn't lived as he did, there might have been some credibility. Read the speech again and ask yourself.. did he earn the right? There were plenty of people still alive who DID earn the right. I guess when I read the part about the slaves who built the White House, NONE of his ancestors built the White House. Perhaps Michelle's did. That was the point.

Don't be this guy.. (said in my best Rob Lowe voice) STOP wasting your life.
Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 But regarding anything beyond this, dear friend, go easy. There’s no end to the publishing of books, and constant study wears you out so you’re no good for anything else. The last and final word is this:
Fear God.
Do what he tells you.
Eventually God will bring everything that we do out into the open and
judge it according to its hidden intent, whether it’s good or evil.
(The Message Bible)
Here's the dream team America seems to want.
They are sick of Obama, wish he
would go away, want to go back to the "Good Old Days" of Clinton and
Bush. OKAY how about a Bush Clinton or Clinton Bush Ticket?
I don't agree.. but this writer makes an interesting point.
NOSTALGIA FOR A PRE-OBAMA AMERICA
The one thing that Democrats and Republicans have in common these days is nostalgia for a pre-Obama era. The leading candidates of both parties serve as shorthand for a time before the era of Obama. The last names Bush and Clinton summon up nostalgic visions of their family’s previous administrations.
The Bush and Clinton political express is moving forward not because these families have become dynasties, but because the majority of Americans want to go back to a time before Obama.
Hillary and Jeb are not popular on their own merits. To Democrats, Hillary seems to offer a return to the Bill Clinton days when the economy was up and the country didn’t hate them. To Republicans, Jeb seems to offer a way back to the clearer issues of the Bush years when domestic politics had been temporarily taken off the table. After two terms of Obama’s unfiltered left-wing radicalism on domestic and foreign policy, the potential matchup will return to the triangulation of the Bush-Clinton years with Jeb adopting liberal ideas on domestic policy to appeal to Democrats and Hillary pretending to take a tougher stance on foreign policy and national defense to appeal to Republicans.
The combination may be a nightmare for conservatives, but they need to understand the source of its appeal. Americans desperately want to erase the entire miserable Obama era from history.
There have been dynasties in American politics before, but none of them were driven by this degree of escapism. Americans are not looking to the future. Polls show that they no longer expect the future to bring them a better life. Instead they are nostalgic for a better past. They want the nineties back. They even want the last decade back.
There is no better sign of how miserable Obama’s two terms in office have been than that the last names Clinton and Bush now induce nostalgia, rather than anger. That’s true even among many people of the opposing party. The passing of time has made the Clinton and Bush years seem like a better era.
Conservatives who want to move the country to the right are not just battling the establishment. Much of the country wants to magically return to the way things were without any more conflict. Instead of actually undoing what Obama did, they want to chant “Bush” and “Clinton” to instantly turn back time.
Obama shattered the embryonic Third Way politics that both parties had come to rely on after the Cold War. The radical left has been met by a resurgent conservatism. The old way of doing things in which the Republicans gradually gave ground and the Democrats gradually took it was overturned. The left has shown that it can blow through the legal structures to implement a radical agenda and get away with it. The right has realized that compromising their way to victory is a formula for a permanent defeat.
The Bush and Clinton names promise stability, but that’s only a comforting illusion. The left will no longer be satisfied with its former slow pace of gains and the right will no longer be fooled by them.
Obama was right about the dishonesty of triangulation. When he tossed it out, he did conservatives a favor by exposing the core conflict underlying our politics. He showed his party that a radical was electable. The Republican Party has chosen to ignore the meaning of that lesson. It remains convinced that the only possible political strategy for the right is triangulation. Jeb Bush has already unveiled “Inclusive Conservatism”. But Obama has set a precedent and it’s one that he may come to regret.
The Obama years radicalized both the left and the right. The Clinton and Bush triangulation is an establishment attempt at reasserting the centrality of centrism. But there are already signs that it will not hold. Democrats are longing for Elizabeth Warren. Even if she doesn’t run, the path to beating Hillary lies to the left. Either Hillary will occupy the left or the left will topple her in the primaries.
The Republican primaries have a crowded center and an empty right. The path to victory may lie in letting the centrists fight it out while a conservative candidate holds on to his base in state after state. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush may still take their respective nominations, but they’ll have to change course to do it. And they will emerge from primary season having moved to the left and the right.
And if they both lose, then the 2016 election will become a showdown over the future of America.
Most Americans are apolitically political. They have a native distrust of politicians and are skeptical that anything can really change. That’s why the establishment triangulators run as the sensible candidates; the ones who won’t blow everything up and who will give people the best of both parties. The radical candidates run on change. They speak to those who are angry and frustrated with the way things are.
Republicans haven’t run credibly on change in a while. And that needs to change.
Running on pre-Obama nostalgia is a safe bet. But the Democrats can beat Bush nostalgia with Clinton nostalgia. Republicans have lost two presidential elections running safe bets. In 2016 they’ll be running against another safe bet, which means that their strategy of risking nothing and losing everything may actually pay off. But the only people it will really pay off for, either way, are regulators and bureaucrats.
And it probably won’t work.
Hillary Clinton has spent a long time transforming her public image from an irritating left-wing control freak to an elder statesman by being incredibly boring. Hillary can’t run as the charismatic candidate. She can’t run as the candidate of change. All she can do is run as the boring and sensible candidate who won’t blow everything up. And that’s been the Republican campaign platform for over two decades. If Hillary runs as the Republican candidate, what will the Republicans run as?
Bush and Clinton tap into the country’s emotional need for stability, but its practical need is for change. The underlying debate of the Obama years that we never had was about the relationship between the people and the government. And that is a debate that the country desperately needs to have.
The establishment candidates agree on tilting the balance of power between government and the individual further toward government. The radical left agrees. What’s missing is a candidate who believes in shifting the balance of power away from the government and toward the people.
Without that, there is no way back to pre-Obama times. Instead we’ll continue losing our freedoms and our republic to the expanding power of a vast incompetent state.
A traumatized nation wants to return to a pre-Obama era, but there is no way back without undoing the things that he did. If a candidate of change fails to make Americans understand that, then a decade from now they will nostalgically recall the Obama years and wish that they could go back to those wonderful days.

I don't agree.. but this writer makes an interesting point.
NOSTALGIA FOR A PRE-OBAMA AMERICA
The one thing that Democrats and Republicans have in common these days is nostalgia for a pre-Obama era. The leading candidates of both parties serve as shorthand for a time before the era of Obama. The last names Bush and Clinton summon up nostalgic visions of their family’s previous administrations.
The Bush and Clinton political express is moving forward not because these families have become dynasties, but because the majority of Americans want to go back to a time before Obama.
Hillary and Jeb are not popular on their own merits. To Democrats, Hillary seems to offer a return to the Bill Clinton days when the economy was up and the country didn’t hate them. To Republicans, Jeb seems to offer a way back to the clearer issues of the Bush years when domestic politics had been temporarily taken off the table. After two terms of Obama’s unfiltered left-wing radicalism on domestic and foreign policy, the potential matchup will return to the triangulation of the Bush-Clinton years with Jeb adopting liberal ideas on domestic policy to appeal to Democrats and Hillary pretending to take a tougher stance on foreign policy and national defense to appeal to Republicans.
The combination may be a nightmare for conservatives, but they need to understand the source of its appeal. Americans desperately want to erase the entire miserable Obama era from history.
There have been dynasties in American politics before, but none of them were driven by this degree of escapism. Americans are not looking to the future. Polls show that they no longer expect the future to bring them a better life. Instead they are nostalgic for a better past. They want the nineties back. They even want the last decade back.
There is no better sign of how miserable Obama’s two terms in office have been than that the last names Clinton and Bush now induce nostalgia, rather than anger. That’s true even among many people of the opposing party. The passing of time has made the Clinton and Bush years seem like a better era.
Conservatives who want to move the country to the right are not just battling the establishment. Much of the country wants to magically return to the way things were without any more conflict. Instead of actually undoing what Obama did, they want to chant “Bush” and “Clinton” to instantly turn back time.
Obama shattered the embryonic Third Way politics that both parties had come to rely on after the Cold War. The radical left has been met by a resurgent conservatism. The old way of doing things in which the Republicans gradually gave ground and the Democrats gradually took it was overturned. The left has shown that it can blow through the legal structures to implement a radical agenda and get away with it. The right has realized that compromising their way to victory is a formula for a permanent defeat.
The Bush and Clinton names promise stability, but that’s only a comforting illusion. The left will no longer be satisfied with its former slow pace of gains and the right will no longer be fooled by them.
Obama was right about the dishonesty of triangulation. When he tossed it out, he did conservatives a favor by exposing the core conflict underlying our politics. He showed his party that a radical was electable. The Republican Party has chosen to ignore the meaning of that lesson. It remains convinced that the only possible political strategy for the right is triangulation. Jeb Bush has already unveiled “Inclusive Conservatism”. But Obama has set a precedent and it’s one that he may come to regret.
The Obama years radicalized both the left and the right. The Clinton and Bush triangulation is an establishment attempt at reasserting the centrality of centrism. But there are already signs that it will not hold. Democrats are longing for Elizabeth Warren. Even if she doesn’t run, the path to beating Hillary lies to the left. Either Hillary will occupy the left or the left will topple her in the primaries.
The Republican primaries have a crowded center and an empty right. The path to victory may lie in letting the centrists fight it out while a conservative candidate holds on to his base in state after state. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush may still take their respective nominations, but they’ll have to change course to do it. And they will emerge from primary season having moved to the left and the right.
And if they both lose, then the 2016 election will become a showdown over the future of America.
Most Americans are apolitically political. They have a native distrust of politicians and are skeptical that anything can really change. That’s why the establishment triangulators run as the sensible candidates; the ones who won’t blow everything up and who will give people the best of both parties. The radical candidates run on change. They speak to those who are angry and frustrated with the way things are.
Republicans haven’t run credibly on change in a while. And that needs to change.
Running on pre-Obama nostalgia is a safe bet. But the Democrats can beat Bush nostalgia with Clinton nostalgia. Republicans have lost two presidential elections running safe bets. In 2016 they’ll be running against another safe bet, which means that their strategy of risking nothing and losing everything may actually pay off.

Obama makes Bill Clinton Ambassador to Haiti. Hillary Clinton's brother sits on the board of the mining company that gets the right to mine gold in Haiti from the Haitian government. One of only two. Did you know Haiti has gold? It does. These people are dirty. But the President is black and that makes it all right.

Perhaps I need to join ISIS.
Most people don't know that about the time of the Crusades in the Holy Land, there were Crusades against the Livonian people. People of what is now east Prussia, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. My deepest roots are from Estonia. So I would have in my roots been a pagan tree worshiping guy in and Estonian village somewhere fighting against the pope's army to the death.
I only bring this up because I have as much right to outrage against the Germans and Poles of that day who foisted Christianity on me as the ISIS fighters have to remember the Crusades.. or their mouthpiece in the White House who brings crusades to mind at a national day of prayer.

My people (Redlins) left estonia, moved to Prussia, then Pomerania near my friend Harold Hein
s relatives, then to Northern Germany (where two towns named Redlin
were established) and then to the USA in the 1890s. YES, I do have
records and a family tree back to those days. Earliest recorded history
of Redlin is 1271. Roots are important. I feel like those friends I
have who have none because of slavery were robbed.
There must be some way to restore thru DNA the reality of their roots.

He opposed Obama's moves toward Iran.
He is a firm supporter of Israel.
He doesn't go along to get along.
He's a democrat.
Democrats that don't toe the line are purged.

It looks like that. There were charges of all kinds of sexual
improprieties in Dominican, but those have been recanted. Now the DOJ
(Eric Holder) is going to charge him for riding on a Constituents Jet
Plane and trying to get favor for that person. This stinks to high
heaven. I smell the MOB and the head mobster, BHO.
This may be why so many republicans fear speaking out. They too fear being purged. Remember when our leaders used to have backbones? Yeah, me neither.

Remember
how the Muslim's blew up the Buddhas in Afghanistan? Now this. It is
always the goal of evil to destroy any connection to the past. It was
why the Jews were killed by Nazis in part. It was why in communism
family trees were destroyed to kill the past regarding any record of
property ownership? The devil doesn't want you to know who you are.
