Trump Was Not the Real Winner in the Mueller Investigation

Source:  truthfeed.com

Lots of people are calling the Mueller report a win for Trump. I'm certainly glad all the illegal spying and Mueller's part of the ridiculously expensive witch hunt (most comprehensive investigation ever), which was based on pure slander (even the most liberal medial moguls admitted behind closed doors that the Russia collusion story was completely false from the beginning), to overthrow a surprisingly successful POTUS, is finally over and that his innocence has been upheld.

But I don't see how Trump was truly a winner in this investigation. Trump was rightly exonerated, but he has been denied the presumption of innocence by the powerful mainstream media and most Democratic leaders for years. Trump, his family, and hundreds of associates or contacts have suffered more for crimes they did not commit than the political elite before them have ever faced for heinous crimes we know they committed such as Benghazi, Uranium 1, Pay-for-Play, Clinton's emails, rigging the Democratic primary, illegally redirecting DNC contributions into Hillary's campaign and the subsequent DNC buy-out & takeover, etc.

I'm relieved that the mainstream media and both the Democrats and Deep State Republicans who have been conspiring for the past two years to overthrow Trump have been exposed for their repeated slander. They hoped to falsely create a dark shadow over Trump's presidency and to distract from all his achievements for the good of the majority of Americans. I hope those who actually believed all the lies are more discerning now and recognize the hatred and coup attempt behind so much of the media's words and works.

If there is a real winner in all this, it's Russia. Russia has been using social media and hackers to interrupt our elections for many years. That much is no new revelation. They spread lies through these platforms that hurt both political parties because Putin's goal isn't to side with one party or the other, but rather to stir up hatred and dissension which ultimately divides and weakens us. The mainstream media, Democrats, and Trump haters from every political persuasion have thrown our nation under Putin's foot by believing and spreading this slander. Instead of working for the nation's good, they have torn it apart. Visit Democratic led cesspools like Chicago, Seattle, New York, and San Francisco and talk to the homeless and drug addicts living in the excrement covered streets or in the desperate neighborhoods consumed with gang violence for a few ideas of where these leaders should have been spending their time and taxpayer money instead of attacking Trump's family with false accusations and unjustified investigations.

Consider all the lies hurled at Kavanaugh and what he and his family suffered for months during the judicial hearings, not based on any evidence, but purely on political hatred. The Trump family and all associated with them have been through similar persecution for over two years. Some are rotting in prison for lesser crimes that had nothing to do with Russia collusion. When will it end?

Until we can move past our hatred, demand an honest press, and uphold truth over our personal political preferences or vendettas, America will remain the loser. The only way that Americans can truly win is to come together as one nation under God again.

Drain the Swamp the Way Judge Aquilina Sentenced Nasser

Nasser is surely one of the most depraved and wicked men on earth, and we all rejoice that he has now been locked up for life where he cannot abuse another child.  However, key questions must still be addressed following his sentencing:

• How was he allowed to do this for so long to so many people?
• How could so many university officials, gymnastic club owners/operators, coaches, and the entire USAG administration continue to cover-up and dismiss all the allegations and evidence brought against him year after year?
• Why wouldn't anyone speak up for the children he violated?

At least 159 women that we know of could have been spared his horrific abuses if his first victim had been heard and justice meted. Yet, cover-ups, concealment, flat out refusal to call evil what it is, or the inability of hardened hearts to even discern the difference between right from wrong are the norm in our post-Christian culture that preaches moral relativism and tolerance for all that is harmful and profane. Victims are silenced, and justice is withheld simply to protect one's reputation and powerful position or for cash bribes.

The Nasser case got a lot of publicity and should embolden survivors to speak out while catapulting the nation's willingness to listen and to demand justice for abusers. I pray it will ignite investigations and prosecutions of those who aid, abet, and protect pedophiles & other felons with judges rendering punishments fully befitting the crime. Dear Lord, may this case prompt swift and effective action to stop and prevent the abuse of our nation's precious children.

While I would never want to minimize the suffering of any of Nasser’s victims, the way that case was handled provides a powerful example of how other cases of abuse and injustice should be addressed so as to significantly curb and prevent future corruption which brings national calamity.

Other instances of selfishly motivated abuses of power and position have also continued for well over 30 years, resulting in far more victims and plenty of long-term damage. Illegal activities by an unaccountable elite in the highest positions of power have resulted in decades of painful consequences, some of which include:

• the loss of countless innocent lives
• the slaughter of patriots & local heroes
• numerous cold-blooded murders masked as “suicide”
• multiple rapes
• suspected child abuse/trafficking
• severe compromise of national security
• economic disaster
• evil regimes gassing their own people
• massive funding of terrorist activities
• large-scale expansion of nuclear weapon capacity by enemy nations (Iran & N. Korea)
• the decimation of national morality and the rule of law
• compromised, dishonest justice departments (FBI & DOJ)
• the rigging of elections at the highest level

Until these wicked, unlawful deeds are called out for what they really are and until justice is meted to the fullest extent of the law at the highest offices in the land as we saw with the Larry Nasser case, the number of victims & damage will only continue to multiply exponentially.

Rachel Denhollander kept asking during her impact statement, “How much is a little child worth?” So I ask, “How much is America worth? How much is our freedom, our security, our military, our children, our heroes, and each and every citizen worth?”

"20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent.
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty
and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 5:20-24)

A letter to USA protestors and a warning to globalists (which includes the Pope)

Dear USA protestors and NFL national anthem kneelers,

If some distant relative wrongs someone you don't even know, and you find that offensive, would you disown your entire family, including your mother, who endured great suffering to bring you into the world and then continued to sacrifice her own needs and desires to nurture you instead, and your father, who risked his life on numerous occasions to protect you and toiled day and night for decades to provide for you? If not, then why would you forsake your country in which countless heroes have died for you, whose history includes some tainted tales but also tremendous good including great liberation not only for her own diverse people, but for oppressed people around the world? Is it wise to dishonor the flag and the national anthem simply because you disapprove of one small thing that doesn't even affect you when that same collective nation is a beacon of light, hope, and freedom for the entire world? Will you choose to forsake it all because you cannot forgive the one? 

"I don't know if the most effective way is to sit down during the national anthem with a country that's providing you freedom, providing you $16 million a year ... when there are black minorities that are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan for less than $20,000 a year."

(Quote by Alejandro Villanueva, a U.S. Army veteran, who was the lone Steeler on the field during national anthem)

Have you no gratitude for what your nation has given you while you give nothing but disrespect in return? Take your grievances to those personally responsible without dishonoring all that is good, right, and just. As my Granny liked to say, "Be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water." For what has been birthed in America is valuable beyond measure, and when grounded in God's word from which true freedom flows and established in faith as the founding fathers' intended, good will triumph over evil. Remove that foundation, and the tragic, wrongful actions of a few police officers could be the least of your concerns.

From a practical perspective, does anyone really think people are going to listen to NFL protests when the NFL is filled with criminals who have already accrued 32 arrests within the first 3 weeks?

• Assault and battery - 7
• Drugs - 6
• DUI - 5
• Domestic violence - 5
• Disorderly conduct - 4
• Resisting arrest - 2
• Gun violence - 1
• Traffic violation - 1
• Other - 1 (Source: Joseph Curl, Dailywire)

They aren't exactly the best spokespeople against acts of brutality, when they have a long history of violence themselves. Yet, some are foolish enough to let a few extremists use and abuse them at great personal cost without doing anything constructive to correct the grievance at all.

To the NFL players who took one knee,
Next time, kneel on both knees and thank God you are free.

Consider how the globalists who seek to destroy America so they can rule it benefit from your protests.  No one can control America, much less the entire world, until they tear down our foundations and the pillars that strengthen and uphold us.  Marriage, family, faith (or common, shared values which flow from Judeo-Christian precepts), liberty, and our law (the U.S. Constitution) are our bulwarks.  They take priority over the whims of the state, and they guide our votes.  The globalists must remove these foundations to gain power over us. Their hope is that your protests will remove statues, emblems, Biblical references, our flag, and our anthem from the public square, marketplace, and sports arenas, for these serve as reminders of our history, our heroes, our holy allegiance, and our purpose.  They expect the NFL controversy to be resolved by removing the anthem and the flag from these venues, just as they have already removed prayer.  With marriage and family under decades of assault, churches infiltrated with false doctrine and wolves in sheep clothing (paid by the DNC to deceive and divide the church from within), the next targets are patriotism, the flag, and the national anthem.  Ultimately, they seek to dismantle the Constitution and the rule of law which has been happening at an increasing rate since Roe V. Wade elevated the right to privacy (which was added through a constitutional amendment) over the basic right to life which our nation was founded to preserve.  The failure to render justice on the Clinton family for dozens of serious crimes over at least three decades which culminated in the Benghazi cover-up and then the handling of HRC's email scandal in which Comey listed numerous proven legal transgressions, deserving of lifetime in prison for anyone else, while failing to prosecute has removed respect or trust in the rule of law from society.

Even the Pope is now pushing for this one world government concept while flat out ignoring the entire Old and New Testaments.  The Old Testament history flatly condemns global power with the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) account and Nebucadnezzar's dream (Daniel 2) of the statute depicting powerful civilizations, each of which must be toppled to save the earth from the destruction that ultimate power brings, and following throughout history. The New Testament repeatedly describes he end times judgment coming as the world tries to unite under one corrupt power.  Power corrupts, and ultimate power ultimately corrupts. In His mercy, God has repeatedly saved mankind by bringing down these corrupt superpowers. The only global leader who can and will rule us in perfect righteousness and love is the perfectly holy, all knowing, Lord God Almighty.  Only Christ can reign over us in perfect justice without oppressing His people. Only Christ reigns selflessly, sacrificially, with the greatest long term common good in mind.  Only He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent.  He wants for nothing and needs nothing, for He is the owner, creator, and sustainer of all created beings and things.  Only He is perfectly good.  Any other power on earth who seeks ever increasing  power, even global power, is driven and possessed by evil, for such is the spirit of the antichrist.  Beware of globalism, hypocrisy, and false teaching.  Be students of God's truth. Reject the lies, false promises, and folly of this lost, dark, and dying world.  

The Paradoxical Progressive Playbook from an Outsider's Perspective

A week after the 2016 presidential election, news networks and liberals are still scratching their heads wondering what went wrong.  There has been no shortage of op-ed pieces written on this matter, so instead of offering up more opinions as to why Hillary Clinton lost, perhaps it would help to present an outsider's perspective of the progressive liberal agenda as a mirror to help progressives see what outsiders' see.

From a pragmatic perspective, the progressive narrative dominating modern American culture does not seem compassionate, logical, or hopeful.  Instead of presenting a dream for a better future, progressive ideals place America on a destructive trajectory. The progressive playbook looks more like a toxic pile of insulting labels and paradoxical talking points than any reasonable or helpful plan for positive change, so those outside of progressive herds refused to support such dismal plans with their votes. An outsider's observations of the progressives' rule book for playing the social change game, with all its many contradictions, are listed below.

The Paradoxical Progressive Playbook

An Outsider's Perspective

• Truth is relative and tolerance is encouraged, except with regard to progressive platforms.  To join the progressive club, you must hold all views in common with the progressive elites. Comments, questions, or suggestions that oppose the progressive talking points will not be tolerated under any circumstance.  The marketplace of ideas now only has room for our ideas. Progressives value diversity as long as everyone thinks like we do. Freedom of speech is applauded during progressive protest events, but any speech that differs in content from ours must be silenced immediately. Use force when necessary.

• Even though wealthy Americans and business owners create jobs, build the economy, support their communities, and give generously to charity, they are a menace to society and must be punished.  Exceptions exist for wealthy businessmen who financially support our cause and collude with progressive minded politicians like Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, did when he purchased the right to appoint Obama’s cabinet members. As for the others who do not advance our new social order, we don’t need the jobs they create anyway since we can choose to not work and live off entitlements or to work for the government or globalist billionaires as community organizers, protestors, lobbyists, and politicians.

• Facts never matter to us. We are ruled by our feelings, even when our feelings lie to us.  No matter how well people support their arguments with facts, if what they say makes us feel uncomfortable or compromises the validity of our worldview, they are wrong. Remember that there is no right or wrong, but we are always right, and they are always wrong.

• Progressives are free spirits. We think outside-of-the-box. We will not let conservatives tell us what to do with our bodies! We support socialized health care because the government can make better decisions about our healthcare and our bodies than we can, except with regard to abortion.  We just need to make sure progressive elites maintain control of our national healthcare syste because they are so interested in fanticide and euthanasia, they will tell us to abort anyway, especially if we're poor, black, or some other "weed". (Also note Alan Guttmacher's work regarding Planned Parenthood, abortion, and euthanasia.)

"It means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization." - Margaret Sanger,  8 April 1923 New York Times article

• To manage conflict, shut-down all conversations involving opposing worldviews. Preferred progressive methods for ending uncomfortable conversations include:  

1. Make broad sweeping statements to categorize and insult entire groups of people even if the person holding the opposing viewpoint does not characterize that group as a whole.
2. Use elementary school style bullying as needed.
3. Complain that your feelings art hurt and start the water works.
4. Protest, riot, and commit acts of violence that will attract the media and provide free press for the progressive platform.
5. Apply labels liberally.  Popular progress labels include "sexist", "bigot" "racist", "intolerant", "xenophobic", "intolerant", "supremacist", and "nationalist".

• People do not kill people.  The NRA and guns kill people, so support all efforts to ban guns and bankrupt the NRA. Allowed exceptions include arming terrorists  and running guns to drug cartels because the progressive government leaders who made those decisions know far better than we do what is best. If we ban guns and set up more gun-free zones, then we will be safe because terrorists and criminals do not break our laws.We can trust the Democrats in federal government (who let our men die in Benghazi despite repeated pleas for help not just from Ambassador Stephens and even from the Pentagon who had reinforcements ready and waiting to defend them) to protect us, so why would we ever need to protect ourselves?

• Progressives support the interests of the LGBTQ community except when terrorists want to shoot them all in a bar in Orlando. In that case, the FBI stopped all investigations surrounding suspected terrorist Omar Matten due to FBI limitations.  We would not consider tightening the borders or keeping out the terrorists who have a deeper level of hatred for gays as as long as the nations that fund terror also fund our cause with many millions of dollars. 

• Even though America was founded on Christian principles which even Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson (both of whom were not Christians) insisted were vital for democracy’s survival (we're writing all that out of the revised history books), even though Christians continue to be the most generous people on earth with their time and their money, even though faith based ministries provide more effective world relief and humanitarian aid than secular or government programs, and even though Biblical truth and strong Christian faith were what drove William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Abraham Lincoln, and U.S. Republicans to take great risks to free the oppressed, Christianity must be suppressed because it hinders our ultimate goal of suppressing all mankind.

•  Since so many people have suffered and died in the name of religion, and since Catholics and evangelical Christians oppose our revolutionary ideas, both groups should be punished. To ensure that their influence dies, we will infiltrate their churches with wolves in sheep's clothing who will pretend to be like them but lead them all astray. (Reference "Catholic Spring" in the Podesta emails at WikiLeaks.)  Note how many have died under evangelical dictators in the chart below compared to atheists. Oops, evangelicals are note even listed in the top 10, but we do see 15 million killed under a Catholic dictator who was far more corrupt than he was Catholic.  Just don't look at how many people were killed by atheists, as our globalist minded financial backers are atheists, and we don't want to portray them as mass murderers. This chart only shows dictators, but while evangelicals and Catholics oppose dictatorships, progressives aren't for dictatorships either...well, not yet anyway, but that is where our agenda ultimately leads. It will be fine, though.  While ultimate power ultimately corrupts, these wealthy men who are vying for dictator status are on our side....at least for now. Oh never mind!

Source

• So evangelicals are not mass murderers, but they oppose our "Constitutionally protected" right to kill out own children which overrules the child's God given right to life (in our minds anyway), and that’s a problem. Imagine what the world would be like if the 58 million Americans* aborted since 1973 had been allowed to live, love, laugh, learn and give back. We are not like the tyrants in the chart above because we only mass murder innocent people whom Planned Parenthood operatives convince us will make our lives inconvenient. 

*53 million from 1973 through 2011 plus approximately 1 million per year since in the U.S. alone 

• Evangelical beliefs are far more radical than ours, especially in the way they treat women and children. Evangelicals actually teach that children are not an inconvenience but rather, a blessing and a gift from the Lord. They think separation of church and state means the government cannot dictate how they practice their faith, but we will make sure they are forced by law to pay for our abortions. Evangelical and Catholics are barbaric in the way they describe the partial birth procedure. Their medical accuracy and pictures make us feel guilty. (Remember again that anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable is wrong!).  The partial birth procedure is nothing more than turning the baby into a breech position (which is harmful for the mother, but losing sleep because of a baby's cries is no picnic either), and delivering the healthy, full-term baby backward, all except the head, and then while the body hangs out of the mother's body, the doctor simply pokes his scissors into the skull and then sucks the brains out.  It hurts like the dickens, but the full term healthy and vibrant fetal mass does not suffer forever. 

• Progressives are so much more humane and loving than gun toters. They hunt for food or for sport and call it conservationism.  We would not kill a flee on our pets, much less kill a large animal, and we protest like crazy when a gorilla is killed at the Cincinnati zoo to save a boy’s life.

• Thanks to the federal government’s progressive move to underwrite college education (which drove tuition prices sky high, but we don't care because unsustainable federal debt will bring down America and that is our end goal), progressive academia, college students, and millennials are now the most indoctrinated educated members of society. They are so indoctrinated educated that they can recite an entire diversity training manual from memory.  Some are so versed in social justice warrior skills that they can earn a PhD for a dissertation that labels STEM curricula as sexist on the premise that women cannot think objectively!  Post- doctoral research has become so advanced that one astute professor conducted a study that proved that pumpkins are racist!  While these educated progressives have no comprehension of basic economics, finance, history, civics, logic, or rhetoric, and cannot recite a single line from the U.S. Constitution, they know that Roe V. Wade gave them the freedom to abort babies.  They have no concept of communism or its ill effects. Nearly two-thirds of millennials surveyed agree with Marxist philosophy and 46% think socialism is good while 58% view capitalism unfavorably (view full survey results here), but that's good for our cause because socialism is a prerequisite for world domination, and capitalism works against us since it tends to restore failing economies.  They have no concept of the value of human liberty or of the ultimate price paid by countless American patriots to preserve it, so they would gladly trade their freedom, which has infinite worth, for free stuff the government buys with hard working taxpayers' money. They have no concept of limited resources or the implications of oppressive debt loads, but they have lots of ideas for ways to spend other people’s hard earned money. Progressive college students do not know how to handle disappointment as illustrated by the recent rioting, and they cannot deal with real life outside of their safe spaces, but they are expert protestors and have mastered the art of political correctness.  They will suit our  agenda perfectly.

• Even though slavery existed in every ancient civilization and continued through the Babylonian, Greek, and Roman empires, all through the Middle Ages, around the Mediterranean region, throughout Arabia and Africa, and grew during the 10th century German expansion during which so many Slavs were taken as slaves that we derived our generic term “slave” from them), and even though slavery spread to Russia and the entire Baltic sea region and on to Portugal, Europe, Britain, the West Indies, and the U.S. colonies, white Americans are the only ones to blame for slavery**, even if white Americans have no genetic connection to slave owners and even if they are descendants of abolitionists. White Anglo-Saxons did not start slavery, but they did lead the efforts to abolish it. Even so, we will punish all whites forever no matter how much they stand up against racial injustice now.

**Please note that conservative Christians hold to a Biblical, benevolent patriotism.  We seek to manage our resources wisely, grow our economy, and honor God so that as He pours blessings upon us, we may be a blessing to other nations.  Our patriotism must never be a selfish, racist, or imperialistic nationalism. It's not about more for us, but about providing more benefits to the entire world through wise stewardship of the resources God has given us. 

• Even though slavery still exists in America for people of all colors and nationalities here in the U.S. and abroad through human trafficking and radical Islam, and even though conservative Christians of all races strive to set them free out of human compassion and in memory of all who have suffered in slavery before them,  progressives tend to ignore such injustice going on right now all around us because we are so consumed with injustices of the past.  Besides, we rae more likely to stir up the racial division and the violent street drama George Soros wants by rehashing past injustices, making everyone feel guilty, and punishing the majority.  Instead of fighting against current slavery and gross injustice in a way that could save and heal countless lives, families, marriages, and cultures, we will accept financial donations from nations who encourage and support human trafficking. We will preserve and expand pornography and lewd entertainment both in pop music culture and in darker corners of the internet, child pornography, and pedophilia in the name of free speech, free love, and free sexual expression, no matter how violent or inhumane, to increase the demand for trafficked victims. Those who fund us profit most when we support sexual slavery, and those of us who choose to indulge in the lusts of the flesh enjoy the easy access, so it’s a win/win.

• America is not great and never has been great.  Thus, America must be punished, weakened, marginalized and depressed so that the U.S. can no longer bring freedom, hope, healing, and charity to suffering people around the world.  The weaker America becomes, the more our wealthy, corrupt sugar daddies can radically transform America into vassal nation with no foundation of morality, no respect for the traditional family or the stability it brings to a nation, no rule of law, no respect for others, and no order at all.  In such a helpless estate, America will be poised and ready to become slaves to a corrupt, unaccountable, powerful, tyrannical global government. 

We ordinary outsiders whom progressives failed to consider during the 2016 election, are ruled by truth and common sense instead of progressive indoctrination and feelings, so we see the progressive agenda differently than they do.  It is an extremely clever strategy, especially as it has infiltrated schools, churches, and the media to totally transform how and what people think, but we wonder if the individuals who buy into this movement are being duped by their masters, or if they are deliberately allowing themselves to be used as pawns to dismantle America and to further the globalists' dream of uniting the entire world under their authority.  Such a notion may seem like a radical right wing conspiracy theory, but after 30 years of observing compounding evidence and perusing recent WikiLeaks and FBI reports, it is almost impossible to refute.  This 15 minute video provides a quick summary of all those years of evidence and outlines the globalists' strategy.

The Bible provides God's opinion on globalism in the book of Genesis. God initially created the earth to be one global community under His perfectly loving, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent reign, but the fall of man corrupted that perfect design.  The Tower of Babel account in Genesis 11: 1-11 shows man's attempt to unite as one global community, filled with pride and lust for power.  In His mercy, God disrupted their plans and spread the people out into unique nations with different languages to prevent them from become slaves to all- powerful, unaccountable, corrupt, global rulers.  When Christ returns to judge the earth, He will establish a unified kingdom, but peace, unity, and goodness are only possible under His reign, for only He is completely righteous, all knowing, and perfect in love and grace. Only God Himself can rightly manage that much power in truth and justice. Until he returns, antichrists will come and go. They will deny the truth, reject God, and seek to rule over people as gods.  But believers must be discerning and reject false teaching.  It should come as no surprise that George Soros and his posse of globalists, coming together under Soros' Open Society Foundation (aka Open Borders Society), are secular humanists who despise God and deceive and destroy that which God created for good.

⁷ I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. ⁹ Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. ¹¹ Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work. (2 John 2: 7-11)

An Election in Which Truth and Justice Become Bigger Issues than Partisan Politics

My biggest frustration with this entire election season and politics in general is how much voting is based on opinion instead of facts. We should all agree that the media is biased, so the tendency is to pick and choose media outlets that share our bias instead of researching the facts for ourselves to verify that it is true. I try to practice the 5-step validation process I shared in a blog post previously to check what I post here to ensure that it is valid, but it takes time, so I still have plenty of information to verify and fact check before sharing more here.

When the FBI releases their report of findings from the Clinton email and Clinton Foundation investigations, we will have confirmed information (much of which is already available and verified through WikiLeaks's released emails) which NONE OF US (not even Clinton's most vehement opponents) wants to be true. These facts will matter far more than the candidates' personalities or character and  possibly more than their party platform goals. The truth in these cases has the potential to negatively impact every single American regardless of race, gender, sexual preference, religion, or political affiliation. Even though what is on the line crosses all party lines, how we vote in the POTUS race should directly impact the long term outcome.

I would like to hint at those findings by parsing through today's headlines to find a few key facts. (Note:  Facts, not opinions, are what truly matter, so verify everything) The FBI claims they are 99% confident that their findings will result in an indictment of Hillary (and likely Huma, Weiner, Podesta, Lynch, Mills, and others). Emails released by WikiLeaks reveal coordinated collusion between the DOJ and the White House to ensure that Hillary was not indicted even though Comey listed a large number of felonies committed through her careless handling of sensitive email on national television, and it's all summarized in FBI reports found here. So assuming this collusion continues, we can expect repeated interference from Lynch to thwart justice on the reopened email investigation and the Clinton Foundation investigation as well.

Clinton supporters prefer to ignore WikiLeaks despite the growing evidence (Colin Powell, Donna Brazile, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz) that validates the authenticity and accuracy of these leaked emails. They also insist the FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation, which has been going on for a year now, is a political stunt to impact the elections. They insist the CF does a lot of good work and that all the accusations are both false and politically motivated.

So how do we know who is telling the truth? Can we trust the FBI reports and verified WikiLeaks over defensive comments by the candidates and pundits who have so much at stake? Common sense would say "of course not".  Another way to make an objective assessment is to follow the money. Clinton Foundation financials are available at online. These financials only list the money that goes directly to the Foundation. The $68 million or more of personal contributions channeled to Bill and Hillary privately through the shakedown scandal uncovered by WikiLeaks and reported by the NY Times, MSBNC and others are NOT included in these financials. This is strictly Foundation money. In 2013,  the most recent financials I found, the CF spent 57% of the revenue the took in.  Of the Foundation's total expenditures, they only gave away 10% via grants (6% in the US and 4% overseas). We will not discuss how the money they actually gave away was used (though there is mounting testimony indicating that it went to support friends or donors with associated business interests instead of actually helping people in need). Let's only consider the facts from the financial statements which I have summarized in the image below.

Compare the Clinton Foundation financials to the Trump Foundation financials to get an idea of what we should expect to see from a non-profit charitable foundation used to consolidate and channel contributions to worthy causes.

So who gives money to a charitable organization with operating costs so high that only 10% of their expenses (or 6% of their revenues) actually go toward charitable grants?  The list of CF donors are provided on the CF website and on the financial statement to some extent. Some (or many) of these donors have personal, business, political, or radical Islamic interests that a Secretary of State or POTUS could assist through the use of federal resources and high level government influence. If the money goes directly to the Clintons and bypasses the CF to the tune of the $68M reported, imagine how much of America these donors could buy? Uranium deals for Russia? Executive pardons? Prison closures? Open borders? Weapons for ISIS?  Refusal to send help despite repeated calls for help and insistence from the Pentagon to cover up the arms transfer? that was ready and available despite Immigration papers for known terrorists? A nuclear deal with Iran? Positions of power within the US government?  Removal from the terrorist watch list?   Access to critical persons of interest? Fetal body parts from Planned Parenthood?  Human trafficking assistance? Classified information?

(Side Note: The FBI confirmed that five different foreign intelligent agencies accessed Clinton's emails, some rated at the highest possible security classification, which gives them enough information to do irreparable harm.)

 ¹⁹ Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. ²⁰ Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.  (Deuteronomy 16:  19-21)

Please also consider that when a government entity contributes funds to any organization, whether schools, healthcare, banks, car manufacturers, etc., then the government takes ownership interest in it. Common Core forced federal control over our schools.  Obamacare puts our healthcare in the government's hands. Similarly, when foreign countries invest in America by donating to the CF or by paying the the Clinton couple directly, they take ownership of America.  That includes our people, our resources, and our security. Ownership of America by other nations equates to control by other nations. Foreign money and political corruption for personal profit directly contributed to the fall of Rome, by the way.

While the FBI is expected to present scathing and undeniable evidence of numerous, far reaching, and excessive white-collar crimes through the Clinton Foundation, we cannot expect the selling off of America for the personal profit by the Clintons or any other Washington elite to stop or be punished as long as the DOJ continues in collusion with the Clintons, bypassing our nation's laws to forbid indictment. The only ways we can help stop this corruption that I can see (please enlighten me of others as I am no expert) so that justice can be meted and so that America can be reclaimed for everyone (consider again  how CF corruption hurts all Americans, without respect to political party) are as follows:

• Vote against Hillary. Yes that means a vote for Trump, no matter how one may despise his character or the allegations against him, which thankfully, are mostly either unproven or have been retracted (except for the lewd comments he admitted and apologized for) so that Trump can replace Lynch who has consistently demonstrated intent to block prosecution.  Would the quote, "Desperate times call for desperate measures apply here?"

• Support the ACLJ and any other legal firms with the expertise and respect for law and justice to successfully prosecute the DOJ and all guilty parties in court. We must consider, however, that any case that makes it to the Supreme Court could still be thrown out if the new POTUS elects a pro-corruption, Pro-Clinton justice.  See previous bullet point.

• Pray for God's truth and justice to prevail with full confidence in the one true God who can do all things!

"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them." (Psalm 145:18-19)

A Call For Christian Unity as Political Powers Push for Division

This post is addressed specifically to fellow conservative evangelical Christians.

Since I've suddenly become so vocal about politics and have honestly shared my struggles with this term's presidential campaign, I want to issue an apology and an appeal for the sake of unity. I am sorry if my words and opinions have offended you. I'm not looking to call anyone out but myself as I wrestle, particularly with the choice between two candidates who do not adequately represent my values or what I believe to be in the best long term interests of our nation and the world.

I am persuaded that during the primary campaigns, most of us were in the "Never Trump" camp. He won the Republican nomination as a result of constant media coverage, too many excellent but similar options on the ticket which divided our votes, and record numbers of crossover voters (who I am guessing wanted him as our candidate because they saw him as most divisive, easiest to smear, and least likely to beat Hillary).

We have vocally expressed our commitment to upholding integrity, morality, and especially sexual purity as God designed it (with good reason, for both the Bible and world history show us how sexual immorality so significantly impacts and marks the collapse of families, communities, and nations), and the DNC knows our stance quite well. Christians overall are the largest voter segment, so if we all unite around one candidate (and actually make the effort to vote, although over 25 million of us who are registered to vote didn't even bother), we are very likely to get the leader we want. Thus, the DNC strategy has been to divide us. What better way to divide us than over issues vs. character? The DNC & media could have focused their smear campaign on any number of issues (such as lack of experience), but the media has spent 90% of their time attacking Trump's character, particularly with regard to immoral sexual comments he made many years ago, to keep us conflicted.

I take it as a good sign if we have wrestled with this dilemma because it means we care enough to truly think through the issues while considering Trump's advisors, recent decisions, professed platform (recognizing inconsistencies in his past), trustworthiness, behavior/temperament, history, and accomplishments.  It means we have considered what Trump might do to the Republican party and compared it to what we confidently expect (based on a lifetime of experience in political corruption and undeniably alarming revelations through WikiLeaks and Veritas) Hillary to do the America, her Constitution, liberty, and the entire world.  Surely we can each understand why some of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ would support Trump based on the critical issues at stake any why others wish to abstain.  Let us respect one another without condemnation with regard to disputable matters. (Reference Romans 14.)

Each light represents a crowded theater filled Christians united together in prayer and worship on October 18 at 9:00 p.m.

As (If) the DNC effectively achieves their goal of politically dividing us, we MUST refuse to let them divide us as a body of believers. Believers who are united under the Lordship of Christ can win back America as one nation under God whether the government grants us religious freedom or not.  If God is for us, who can stand against us?

Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

However, if we divide as a church, then George Soros and all his secular progressive minions will have won the battle they care about most. But all glory to God, they cannot win the war, for Christ has already won the war! (John 12:30-36)

Love one another with sincere hearts, dear family of faith, and preserve the unity of the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12) No matter how each one of us votes, let's remember that we are members of the same family forever through the blood of Christ. . No matter who rules over us on the earth, we are all under the authority of the perfectly righteous King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Savior of all the World. Let us fix our eyes on Him and uphold His unchanging truth, and He will unite us.

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. ¹⁰ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! ¹¹ Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? ¹² And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12)

When Choosing the Lesser of Two Evils Trumps Choosing Neither

To those still struggling (as I have this election in particular) with the question of how to vote if you're not comfortable choosing the lesser of evils because it still feels like choosing evil, consider that we live in a fallen world which regularly presents us with a choice between two evils.  Some choices, such as which route to take home during rush hour when you know both routes will tempt you to have unwholesome thoughts, may not seem as bad as this election.  Other choices involve much higher stakes.  If an intruder breaks into your home with plans to assault your spouse or children, will you choose to shoot the intruder or let him have his way with your beloved family?  Both options seem evil, but you can't just stand there refusing to choose either option because the perpetrator will certainly choose for you!  When given a cancer diagnosis, the choice between traditional chemo treatments vs. another non-FDA approved alternative approach will feel like a choice between evils. If you choose neither, cancer will ravage your body.  Whatever you decide or don't decide in any lesser of evils decision, let us remember that God could intervene at any time in any way he chooses.  Any choice, even a choice between two evils, that is ultimately decided by trusting in God's sovereign will and faithfully following His leading glorifies the Lord.  He sees the motivations and longings of our hearts which matter more to Him than the fact that neither choice is ideal.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2)

Let us humbly and honestly consider ourselves as we evaluate imperfect presidential candidates.  I asked myself, "Do I consider myself too moral to vote for a platform I know our country desperately needs to preserve democracy, the Constitution, religious freedom, and the very lives of persecuted people around the world simply because the candidate representing that platform offended us with something he said over a decade ago?  Have I no words in my past which I wish I could take back?" I most certainly do, and without Christ I am nothing.  The choices began to look different for me when I weighed the Trump's character in light of my own shortcomings.

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. (Romans 12:2-3)

Eric Metaxas reminded me of William Wilberforce and Dietrich Bonhoeffer who chose to immerse themselves in corrupt worldly systems so they could stand for what was right with the goal of freeing the oppressed.  God's word led them to stand for truth, justice, and life despite the evil they had to encounter in the process. So God's word has great power to bring about change even through corrupt human systems.

I was also reminded of the way God has used wretched men throughout history who He humbled and brought to repentance.  The more I learn from wise God fearing men who Trump has chosen as his advisors, the more encouraged I am that he is closer to repentance than he has ever been before.  I wrote more about how the hope of repentance influenced my decision here.

When Trump first won the RNC ticket, I considered a write-in as a way to voice my opposition to both candidates and to draw attention to the type of leader we truly want.  However, I reconsidered as I learned more about how much is at stake in this election. I live in a swing state where every vote counts, and write-ins are not even considered in my state, unless they are for Jill Stein. If I even want the opportunity to vote for a truly conservative candidate who upholds Christian values in the next election, the I have to focus now on battling the overwhelming corruption that is overtaking our country and plucking away are freedoms.  As sad as it is to admit, Trump is the only candidate with a chance of pushing back the stronghold of corruption in federal government apart from God's supernatural intervention. The more I prayed and learned (not from the media's propaganda machine but through Wikileaks and those with direct information), the more convinced I became personally that I must use my vote, the only earthly power I have, to help stop Hillary Clinton. 

Frankly, this election is not about me or my preferences. It's much bigger that my family and my own personal concerns.  When I consider the slaughters, the persecutions, the unstoppable corruption and outright treason throughout the federal government, the out of control violence and division, the economic crisis, the international crises threatening nuclear war, the freedoms (religious freedom especially) on the chopping block, the expansion of abortion into infanticide territory with Supreme Court Justices (Ginsberg especially) who support eugenics, new support for "post birth abortion" as they call it, the plot to divide Catholics, the attack on conservative Catholics and evangelicals which includes insistence that they change their beliefs about abortion, Hillary's desire to repeal the Hyde Amendment, Obama's attempts to force religious groups to pay for the abortion pill through Obamacare, lawsuits that resulting in fining Christian businesses for refusing to participate in gay marriage ceremonies, and new pressure to cater to Obama's transgender bathroom mandate, it's just all so much bigger than any of my personal objections to a man's temperament or past words. Judge me all you want, but the more I dig up information that clearly counters the mainstream narrative fed to the media by the DNC to smear Trump, the more convinced I am that I have to vote with the "deplorables" even if the DNC election rigging schemes (verified by Project Veritas Action) are not stopped. The vote and continued uncovering of the truth are all we have left in terms of human power.  But prayer is always our greatest resource, for the Almighty God has all authority and all power to deliver us.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the
majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is
your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. Wealth and
honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might
are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given
strength. (1 Chronicles 29:11-12, (NLT)

⁷ But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare...

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. ¹² Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:7, 11-13)

Addendum
As I have openly and honestly described my own struggle with this election dilemma, I am concerned that my words or opinions may have offended members of God's precious family of faith.  So I have issued and apology and an appeal for unity on the next blog posting found here.

From Betrayal to Everlasting Hope of Glory

Earlier today, I was sitting in my hairdresser's chair feeling betrayed by Hillary and the Obama administration (AGAIN!) as I caught up on the recent Wikileaks, specifically the John Podesta emails, which indicate that Hillary either knew or claimed that "Qatar and Saudi Arabia were providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL".  Meanwhile Hillary continued to collect millions of dollars from both Qatar and Saudia Arabia. (Saudia Arabia has bragged that they funded 20% of Clinton's campaign with estimates over $25 million.) while also running guns (funded by US taxpayers) to ISIL rebels. So we're arming the people who are brutally butchering and massacring innocent people all over the world and right here in America while severing our relationship with the nation that should be our closest ally, Israel.

I already felt betrayed by voters who picked someone with a crude tongue, loose morals, and a wild temper who made some of his fortune by catering to the destructive personal vices of Americans (gambling, objectification of women) as the RNC candidate.  The betrayal that stung was by the evangelical Christians who did not bother to vote at all in the primaries leaving us with the motivated angry mob's choice , who also got help from DNC crossover voters.  All this scandal with Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration, however, was just too much betrayal, or perhaps treason would be the better word, to handle.

But then....I heard the lovely accent of a tall, tattooed, Jordanian hairdresser next to me sweetly sharing God's word and the truth that Jesus is the Messiah with his client. As I heard him say, "He is the Alpha and the Omega", I remembered that Jesus never has and never will betray us or forsake us. God is still at work all around us accomplishing His eternal purposes in the lives of each of us. He hears our prayers. He knows our fears. He feels our pain. He comforts the broken, and He is coming again. Jesus will never fail us! Look up, my friends. Our hope is in Christ alone!

²⁶ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. ²⁷ To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  (Colossians 1:26-27)

This picture was taken during our January trip to Israel from the Israeli shore of the Dead Sea and shows Jordan, this blessed, joyful hairdresser's home, in the background. That hairdresser had fled to Egypt all alone at age 12 and surely experienced much heartache and suffering. When I went back later to thank Him for speaking God's TRUTH that saves in love and with boldness, that towering, intimidating looking man, looked down at me with tears in his eyes and with the voice of such grateful humility said, "Don't thank me. Thank Him! Jesus saved me!" Such joy...such unspeakable joy I beheld in his beautiful face!

What it Means to Be "Pro-Life" (Part 1): To Love the "Least of These" without Compromise

With Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton (HRC) as the major party candidates for the 2016 U.S. presidential race, American voters are facing a major moral dilemma. Both candidates have shown themselves to be arrogant, brash, deceitful, and self-serving.  Neither adequately reflects the values of his or her party. With Trump's past support of both Democratic candidates and liberal social issues, he seems more like the Democrats' choice for the Republican nominee than the Republican's choice, effected primarily through media steering and crossover voters. Conservative Republicans especially oppose him.  He has an erratic history on abortion issues, but he now claims to stand with his party's pro-life platform.  Yet, the disrespectful and crude comments he has made toward women, those with disabilities, Muslims, and illegal immigrants are making it difficult for compassionate, pro-life people of faith to vote for him with a clean conscious.

While Trump leans to the left of the Republican party platform, HRC leans to the left of the Democratic party, reflecting the anti-Christian, socialistic, "ends justify any means"  ideals of her mentor, Saul Alinsky.  Guided by Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals, HRC's history of corruption exceeds any elected official before her, at least in the past century, although her husband's scandal list is certainly long enough.  Lies, scandals (22 biggest HRC scandals described here), and corruption have been the most consistent traits of her entire career.  In just the past few weeks, evidence has been brought forth to prove "pay for play" abuses of power as Secretary of State, high stakes bribery and fraud in the way she used the Clinton Foundation to accept large donations from American enemies with deplorable human rights practices and even 96% of her own charitable contributions (tax evasion) under the ruse of charity when almost all of the contributions were pocketed by her nuclear family, multiple counts of felony and perjury regarding her email scandals (full testimony here) putting every American at risk (at least one spy has already been killed).  Recent HRC email releases by WikiLeaks prove that she led the effort to arm ISIS groups in Syria, and lied about it repeatedly under oath even while letting four American patriots die in Benghazi to cover her misdeeds. Yet, justice has not and will not be meted against her because her corruption is so vast that those with the power to prosecute her refuse. Or perhaps she's just employing Alinsky's first rule.  Whatever the case, it's working to her favor.

“Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”   Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, Rule #1

Meanwhile, petty officers like First Class Kristian Saucier who committed much lesser crimes with no impact on national security and no impact on anyone's life whatsoever, are facing jail time.  Imagine how someone with such a heart of corruption will manage national security and utilize taxpayer dollars as POTUS.

Clearly, both candidates leave a bitter taste in the mouths of voters.  The two third party candidates are drawing more support than usual, but both are social liberals and pro-choice providing no good compromise for pro-life voters. Evan McMullin, just entered the race as a pro-life (from womb to tomb) independent candidate, but he entered the race so late, he may not even be on the ballot in some states.

Recently, there has been a push by self-described pro-life or "pro-lives" voters such as Rachel Held Evans to justify a vote for Hillary Clinton by upholding what they consider to be a more enlightened definition of the term "pro-life".  (View rebuttal to Rachel Held Evans' post from a Christian perspective here). Their definition is no different from what "pro-life" has always meant, at least to committed Christians, except for one tragic difference. They emphasize government support or aid programs that support life after birth as being more pro-life than simply opposing abortion itself. For liberal leaning pro-lifers, it is not just morally acceptable, but morally superior to support a candidate and party who are vehement activists for abortion at any stage, for any reason, and with taxpayer funding if that candidate has at any time in her life helped promote aid programs they like or need.  While I have no desire to discredit these programs which may very well be valuable, necessary, and effective (although efficiency, cost effectiveness, and sincere love or compassion are usually lacking when the government gets involved), I do want to point out that the key difference between this liberal view and that of more conservative pro-life voters is that they see these social programs as offsetting the crime of abortion which brutally and painfully dismembers the most vulnerable members of society.

⁴⁰ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ (Matthew 25:40)

This perspective says, "I can still be pro-life and vote for a corrupt pro-choice candidate if that candidate has ever been involved in social programs that matter to me or to those I love or empathize with most."

^"And [Jesus] said to them, 'You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.' " (Luke 16:15)

Unfortunately, those social programs, no matter how wonderful they may be, were not the primary issues touted at the DNC Convention. Making on-demand abortions at any stage of pregnancy convenient and available to all women in the US and abroad is the primary focus of the DNC, beginning with the repeal of the Hyde Amendment, as emphasized during the first day of the DNC convention. The first day of the Democratic Convention seemed less like an American political rally and more like a sacrificial worship celebration honoring Molech in which speakers and attendees celebrated the fact that they threw their babies into the fire (aka "aborted" them) in worship of the pagan god with the hope that the god would give them what they wanted, personal, short-term convenience.

"You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord." (Leviticus 18:21)

Worship of Molech, Hillary, and/or oneself are allowed by the DNC, but Hillary insists that any religious beliefs that stand in the way of expanding abortion must be stuffed and silenced. Hillary, who has proven herself to be above the law, speaks as though she is deity, just like Lucifer himself, who Alinsky attributed in his book.

Abortion Activists attack Christians  (Source: Lifenews.com)

An Aside: Do the Unborn Have Rights?
HRC claimed that the "unborn person doesn't have any Constitutional Rights" according to Roe V. Wade, but the constitutionality of the Roe V. Wade verdict continues to be highly controversial.  Roe V. Wade uses an implied right to privacy not specifically enumerated in the Constitution (the 9th amendment refers these rights to the states and the people) but expressed in precedent cases to override the most fundamental and most valued human right upheld by people around the world throughout history, the right to life.  The Roe V. Wade verdict claimed that a woman's dominion over her body gives her the right to abort while contradicting the 9th and 10th Amendments and in some respects the 14th Amendment.  The Court denied the personhood of the fetus as a way of getting around the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause.  However, medical advancements and ultrasound technology have removed the question of personhood from the debate.  Hillary admitted the unborn's personhood with this statement quoted above, but in so doing, she denied equal rights for all persons. HRC admitted the humanity of the unborn while insisting the right of the mother to choose is more important than the right of the baby in her womb to live. This perspective implies that the value of each individual life is relative such that some lives are more or less valuable than others.  This eugenics mindset is a recurring theme in liberal policy  just as it was the primary point of advocacy for Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood who was highly praised by Hillary Clinton.  The rights of the unborn are still affirmed by English common law, fetal homicide statutes, Embryonic Law, and the ultimate authority on the law for Christians, God's word. (Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5) 

Even though Hillary Clinton's abuses of power are unmatched and despite having a lengthy history of corruption, deceit, fraud, bribery, scandals, treason, and perjury, people still support her.  She has connections to dozens of people (or possibly over a 100) who mysteriously died after becoming involved in efforts to expose her, but people still praise her.  And despite her extreme abortion activism, some pro-life voters still endorse her because they believe short term social programs, especially those they believe will reduce abortion rates, offset efforts to expand an industry that already kills a million babies a year.  This belief that they are taking the moral high ground is rooted in the assumption that pro-life conservatives are anti-abortion only and do not show equal concern for women or for any minority or marginalized people after they are born.  This perception that "pro-life" only means "anti-abortion" has been largely circulated by the left-leaning media, but the notion is false.  Compassionate, conservative Christians are not pro-life because they are anti-abortion.  They are anti-abortion because they are pro-life. We are for all life, regardless of race, ethnicity, sin struggle, economic status, age, or ability, and the goal of this blog series is to prove it! Unlike the progressive eugenicists, we view all human life as equally valuable.  We treasure both children and elders as gifts from the Lord.  We do not rank life on a worthiness scale, for we recognize that each and every life has been fearfully and wonderfully created (Psalm 139:14) for a perfect, divine purpose (Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11). We are not just for life itself; we strive to equip and lead all people to a joyous, abundant life.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."  (John 10:10)

While my disgust with HRC should already be obvious, I am not strongly for any candidate; hence, my moral dilemma.  But I will oppose senseless murdering of innocent children until the day I die, not just for their sake but for the sake of the living, for how we regard the most vulnerable lives within our ability to protect them directly impacts how we value all life. 

This blog series is not seeking to create more political division, for America is certainly divided enough already. The BBC and Pew Research Center described American politics as "more like 'alien tribes' than rival parties....because hyper-partisan news and social media enables them to live in ideological isolation - they don't even have to try to understand it."  In the interest of bringing more understanding, I intend to counter this false assumption by describing the full meaning of "pro-life" from the perspective of those who are first and foremost Christians.  Biblical truth and personal encounters with God lead people like me to a more conservative political approach toward pro-life issues, but we are Christians first.  I hope that by showing how pro-life, conservative Christians care for mothers, families, children, elderly, minorities, and the oppressed, we can begin crossing political boundaries and working together to provide better solutions for more people instead of wasting time and energy bickering. (I realize this goal could prove difficult if HRC continues following Alinsky's model, for he insisted that all life is partisan, but I'm trusting not all HRC supporters feel the same way.)

In the interest of full disclosure, I should note that I am all of the following:

• a committed follower of Christ for over 35 years
• a devoted wife to one man for life through the Christian marriage covenant
• a busy mother of active young children
• a former volunteer at various crisis pregnancy centers
• a former volunteer and current "as-needed" adoption presenter for a faith based maternity home for women in crisis who choose not to abort
• the product of an unplanned pregnancy that occurred during Roe V. Wade deliberations who was born too late for legal abortion had that been a consideration
• a former orphan who lived in a foster home
• an adoptee via closed adoption with a personal testimony that screams of God's goodness, grace, and sovereignty

My life experiences have shaped my opinions just as every person's unique life experiences shape theirs.  I have done lots of research, however, and I will do my best to support my points with accurate data, verified testimonies, and reliable video footage.  I hope that by sharing this data and personal testimony, areas of mutual agreement can be found to curb political division and to establish more loving options, services, and support not just for mothers in crisis, but for all who suffer from the same types of trauma, heartache, and desperation which are often rooted in the same unmet need for unconditional love, acceptance, and the absolute truths which are uniquely fitted to fill the deepest longings of the heart and soul.

The next installment will look at loving ways pro-life Christians are addressing those deepest needs to prevent unplanned pregnancy and to support women in crisis both in their current situation and for the long-term.
