Yes Europe used to be the cradle of Christian civilization but it left its first love which was Christ and then they became worldly and followed after the world in their desires and wants and I believe that they are being punished for their sins. It is in the Lords hands whether they are delivered or not. I do believe that if America returns to the Lord as well we can then rid ourselves of these Muslims if not we will become another Europe over here. We really need a return of the Crusades both over here in America as well as all over Europe.

I did and while there are a couple references there is also a snope post that it is false?? Not that I believe them but there also has not been any reporting by other main stream media that I also would not believe...lololol But then we have no announcement about it either and I would assume if he had ruled it would be published...


The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that " the only Islam taught to our children in public schools will be the history of Radical Islam and what they can do to help stop it."

RATING
FALSE
ORIGIN
On 11 April 2017, the “America’s Last Line of Defense” web site published an article positing that U.S. Supreme Court had just ruled that “the only Islam taught to our children in public schools will be the history of Radical Islam and what they can do to help stop it”:

The full panel of nine SCOTUS justices met yesterday to decide the fate of a case very near and dear to Barack Obama and the Democrats. The court ruled 5-4, with Justice Gorsuch casting the tie-breaker, that the only Islam taught to our children in public schools will be the history of Radical Islam and what they can do to help stop it.

Judge Gorsuch, in his first opinion for the high court, wrote:

‘The government certainly has no business being involved in religion, but this isn’t a government issue or a religious issue. This is about the Judicial branch interpreting the laws as they apply to the teaching of religion. We should be teaching any religions in this country besides standard Judeo-Christianity, as our founders wanted, and we certainly shouldn’t be filling the children with lies about Islam being a “religion of peace” when they see the carnage on the news almost every day.

It is our duty as Americans first and judges second to safeguard the way our children are indoctrinated.’
There was no truth to this story, which originated with the clickbait fake news site “America’s Last Line of Defense” and was widely spread online by a network of shill sites.

Newly confirmed justice Neil M. Gorsuch’s first day on the high court did not take place until 17 April 2017, a week after the “America’s Last Line of Defense” article was published. On that first day, the court heard no cases involving the teaching of religion in public schools.

I've had the same thing happen to me Don~~ We just never know???

BREAKING – Supreme Court Ruling: NO Islam In Public Schools

By David Robinson ~ April 17, 2017 (Wonderful Birthday Present, More To Come!)

The full panel of nine Supreme Court justices met to decide the fate of Islam taught in public schools. Under Obama’s lead schools were teaching that Islam is a peaceful religion, even though all of our real life examples contradict that.

Treddify reported that Judge Neil Gorsuch cast the tie-breaking vote. The 5-4 ruling was that the only part of Islam history taught in public schools will be Radical Islam and what students can do to help stop it.

Judge Gorsuch wrote, “The government certainly has no business being involved in religion, but this isn’t a government issue or a religious issue. This is about the judicial branch interpreting the laws as they apply to the teaching of religion. We should not be

teaching any religions in this country besides standard Judeo-Christianity, as our founders wanted, and we certainly shouldn’t be filling the children with lies about Islam being a ‘religion of peace’ when they see the carnage on the news almost every day.”

When Spicer was asked if Trump would produce his 2016 tax return he blurted out that it too was being audited by the IRS. Now come on Eric, Trump just turned the damn thing in--surly they would have to read the thing first before declaring it was being audited. Look, everyone know's Donald isn't going to release his tax returns and the only question is why. Now I think it's because it will show just how shady and smarmy he really is--I mean anyone being audited as many times by the IRS has to be doing something really wrong! So what is it, inquiring minds want to know and if our president is a crook then we have a right to know don't you think!

No Law To Force Trump Top Release Tax Returns

James Mann: President-Elect Trump Should Never Release His Tax Returns

James Mann ~ Jan 17, 2017 ~ Breitbart

Last week Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced a bill that would require President-elect Trump and future presidential nominees to release their last 3 years of federal tax returns. This bill is a partisan ploy — the only co-sponsors are Democrats – and it is clearly meant to shame President-elect Trump, who did not release his. And there are demands for Trump Cabinet nominees to disclose their tax returns, which will inevitably be leaked. But it is worth pointing out that the idea that releasing tax returns somehow promotes rational discourse in election campaigns or confirmation hearings is nonsense.
To begin with, the oft-repeated claim that presidential candidates have released their tax returns since Watergate is absolutely untrue.

For example, John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, released his tax returns in April of 2004, but no returns for his wife, a billionaire. Under increasing pressure, in late October of 2004, Kerry released the first two summary pages of his wife’s 2003 return – nothing else. Kerry would have been the richest president in history (until Trump), but he felt the details of the wealth that fuels his lavish lifestyle weren’t anyone’s business. No one noticed.

John McCain married up, too. For the 2008 presidential campaign, he released his tax returns but not those of his wife, a beer distributorship heiress. When he relented in May of 2008, he only released the first two summary pages of her returns. For 2006 he made $300,000 and she made over $6 million, but he maintained that the details of her finances were not relevant. No one noticed.

In August of 1984, yielding to increasing criticism of her family’s questionable real estate dealings (you may remember the slogan “Come Clean Geraldine”), democratic Vice Presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro released 6 years of tax returns. As nearly every tax lawyer understood (and a few of them tried valiantly to explain) Ferraro’s failure to release the partnership tax filings that were the source of her family’s income meant that her return disclosure was meaningless. The journalists naturally reported that she had demonstrated her finances to be above reproach. Her husband later pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining bank financing in a real estate transaction.

But even when the full tax returns are released, it doesn’t matter. After Harry Reid falsely accused Mitt Romney of not paying taxes for a decade, Romney released his entire returns for two years for himself, his wife, and his charitable foundations. Nobody bothered to read the hundreds of pages of returns detailing the state of the art complex investments of a successful financier (and extremely generous charitable contributions). Even after the release of the returns, the Obama campaign continued to make dark accusations of hidden details of his wealth, and the charges stuck even though proof to the contrary was in plain sight on the returns.

The best example of the meaninglessness of releasing tax returns is provided by the Clintons in 1992. For a limited period of time, he made available to the press 10 years of his tax returns. Everything we needed to know about Bill and Hillary’s character is in those returns – the desperate get rich quick schemes, the omission of government-provided largesse from income, and the failure to pay withholding taxes on Chelsea’s nanny the few years she wasn’t parked on Arkansas’ payroll are all revealing.

Most telling of all was Hillary’s handwritten itemization of their charitable donations – the aggressively inflated estimates of the values of Bill’s used underwear and sneakers tells you everything you need to know about her values. A clearer picture of the Clinton approach to the rule of law and ethics could not possibly be presented in a tax return. It was entirely ignored by the slothful and innumerate media (except for a prescient, widely ignored, analysis by Lisa Schiffren in the American Spectator).

And that brings us to Donald Trump. What about all of the “conflicts of interest,” tax avoidance and business failures putatively hidden in his unrevealed returns?

The sad fact is most journalists are clueless about taxes or finance. They are incapable of reading tax returns in any way that would yield information. They have little or no grasp of the relative importance or common usage of various tax strategies employed by those with money and good advisors. All they have are pre-ordained “narratives.”

In the case of a real estate fortune this ignorance is more problematic than usual. Real estate investors and builders tend to pay minimal taxes because real estate is highly tax advantaged and depreciation and interest expense typically shelters income from taxes. Were President-elect Trump to release his returns, there is no chance that they would be properly understood or fairly interpreted.

The practice of releasing presidential nominee tax returns has been inconsistent. When complex returns were made available partisans, abetted by a complicit press, willfully misconstrued them. And when disclosure actually worked, it was ignored. President-elect Trump has no reason to disclose his tax. In the alternative, perhaps we should start with requiring federal tax return disclosure for Senators and Congressmen and see how that experiment works.

James Mann, a tax lawyer and former banker, is a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division of the Department of Justice.

Rose,

This, and not a single portrait or statue to themselves was paid for..



In order to get a fuller picture of the Clinton Foundation’s operations, he said, people need to look at the foundation’s consolidated audit, which includes the financial data on separate affiliates like the Clinton Health Access Initiative.
“Otherwise,” he said, “you are looking at just a piece of the pie.”
Considering all of the organizations affiliated with the Clinton Foundation, he said, CharityWatch concluded about 89 percent of its budget is spent on programs. That’s the amount it spent on charity in 2013, he said.
We looked at the consolidated financial statements (see page 4) and calculated that in 2013, 88.3 percent of spending was designated as going toward program services — $196.6 million out of $222.6 million in reported expenses.
We can’t vouch for the effectiveness of the programming expenses listed in the report, but it is clear that the claim that the Clinton Foundation only steers 6 percent of its donations to charity is wrong, and amounts to a misunderstanding of how public charities work.

Lord, You right wingers and your refusal to look at facts... Over and over those lies and misstatement have been addressed yet you will toss them out again and again..

This thread is about the dishonesty of trump the orange con man..

But one more time, the gramma talk..

This all started with a dishonest bishop.. Not uncommon among the right wing religious nuts..




Trump said Obama's grandmother caught on tape saying she witnessed his birth in Kenya


The translator can be heard translating, and then, he said, "No. Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America."

Said McRae: "Whereabouts was he born? I thought he was born in Kenya."

The response came back, "He was born in America, not in Mombasa."

"Do you know where he was born?" McRae continued. "I thought he was born in Kenya. I was gonna go by and see where he was born."

"Hawaii. She says he was born in Hawaii," the translator said. "In the state of Hawaii, where his father, his father was also learning there. The state of Hawaii."

"I thought she said she was present," McRae said. "Was she able to see him being born in Hawaii?''

"No, no," the translator said. "...She was not ... she was here in Kenya. Obama was born in America ... Because the grandmother was back in Kenya and Obama was born in America, where he is from, where his father was learning, learning in America, the United States."

Listen to the full conversation yourself. The parts in question begin about the 4:20 mark.

McRae -- who we should emphasize was not the translator -- has kept the theory alive. In a Dec. 5, 2008 article, Salon ran an affidavit from McRae in which he maintains Sarah Obama confirmed she witnessed Obama's birth in Kenya:

"Though some few younger relatives, including Mr. Ogombe (one of the translators), have obviously been versed to counter such facts with the common purported information from the American news media that Obama was born in Hawaii, Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama was very adamant that her grandson, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya, and that she was present and witnessed his birth in Kenya, not the United States. When Mr. Ogombe attempted to counter Sarah Obama's clear responses to the question, verifying the birth of Senator Obama in Kenya, I asked Mr. Ogombe, how she could be present at Barack Obama's birth if the Senator was born in Hawaii, but Ogombe would not answer the question, instead he repeatedly tried to insert that, "No, No, No. He was born in the United States!"

That's not what we heard on the tape. What we heard was a very rough translation in which an elderly woman agreed to the leading question that Obama was born in Kenya and that she was present. But it was immediately and clearly corrected -- repeatedly.

When we contacted Trump’s organization, Michael Cohen, his political aide, referred us to Jerome R. Corsi, author of The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, which makes a case against Obama, calling him a political extremist who associates with radicals and has disturbing connections to Islam. (PolitiFact found the book was riddled with errors). In a brief telephone interview with PolitiFact, Corsi said he has spoken to Trump and that the statement about Obama's grandmother was, in fact, based on her taped conversation with McRae. Corsi pointed us toward an article he wrote for the conservative WorldNetDaily, in which he says that he spoke to two unnamed Kenyans familiar with Sarah Obama's dialect, and that they claimed she was clear in saying that she witnessed Obama's birth in Kenya. Futhermore, Corsi said they told him it appeared her later efforts to recant appeared to be heavily coached by those around her. Corsi has a book questioning Obama's birthplace coming out next month.

We note that in a Chicago Tribune story in March 2007, national correspondent Tim Jones wrote that in an interview with Sarah Obama, she said she received the news of Obama's birth via a letter to her in Kenya and that she was "was so happy to have a grandchild in the U.S."

Trump is serving up re-heated leftovers that have long ago been debunked. Anyone who listens to the tape of the phone conversation with Sarah Obama can hear how tightly you need to edit this interview to present it as evidence of a presidential cover-up. We rule Trump's claim that Obama's grandmother in Kenya said he was born in Kenya False.

Islam's 'manufactured refugee crisis' revealed

The entire Western world is being swamped by an Islamic invasion. But Muslims aren’t coming in uniforms and carrying guns. They’re arriving en masse with the assistance of Western governments.

Some call it refugee resettlement. Others simply believe it is just immigration. Few are willing to call it what it is – an “act of conquest,” according to traditional Islam.

It’s an Islamic invasion which could end our civilization forever. And it’s being enabled by the very people who are supposed to protect us.

Cabinet/Advisors - Out-Freakin'-Standing. DOJ, EPA, SoS, etc.. All Excellent. Nikki Haley is great.

Replacing political appointees/etc... - Awful.

Obamacare repeal - Moderate to severe disaster. He should have repealed Obamacare 1st with 51 Senate votes and then allow the Democrats to join in to bring back whatever goodies they wanted to add, or allow them to vote against the goodies. If he goes through with punishing Conservatives for voting their conscience, it will be Complete Disaster.

Wall - Excellent - This won't be fast by design.

Immigration enforcement - Out-Freakin'-Standing. Crossings down 75-90+% compared to Obama's last month.

Tax reform - Looks like Disaster of some sort. You can't reform taxes without decreasing dependency.

Foreign Policy / ME - Excellent. "MOAB - When you want to send the very biggest, baddest, and best all in one." Syria - Someone had to do something. He may have backed down on a promise, but it was a stupid promise.

Foreign Policy / NK & China - So far so good. The choices may suck soon. Getting China involved by grabbing their scrotum will be the key.

Foreign Policy / Other - Excellent. He's shaking the right hands, kissing the right babies.

Law and Order -- Not good. Learner, Clinton, and the other criminal misfits are still not charged. That may be in the works, but I'd like to see action. Replacing 'Social Justice' with 'Justice' is in the works and should be excellent.

Relations with Military - Out-Freakin'-Standing.

Relations with Police - Out-Freakin'-Standing.

Relations with Congress - Awful
