Insanity on the Horizon? White House insiders say President Obama plans to make an executive decision to grant some form of amnesty to some six million illegal aliens in this land. His decision will send a loud and clear message to multiplied millions more people in Mexico and Central America to come to this land.




 


Hundreds of Schools Reject Federal Lunch Mandate


 First lady Michelle Obama is trying to force America’s schools to serve healthier lunches but many of those schools have rejected her choice of food because the children won’t eat it, according to Gary DeMar in Eagle Rising.


“Hummus is too fatty, pretzels are too salty, even hard-boiled eggs and yogurt don’t make the cut,” DeMar wrote.


The problem arose when thousands of school children began throwing their lunches in the trash. The situation became so critical that officials in Illinois’ second largest school district decided to forfeit nearly $1 million in federal lunch assistance to serve students something they will eat.


“Who elected her (Michelle Obama) food boss?” DeMar asked. “Liberals are playing both ends…Thy want to raise our taxes to care for the poor because we are told that nearly 25 percent of the nation’s population goes to bed hungry each night and at the same time they want to control what we eat because they claim we are too fat…”


Comment: Last week I reported that under the federal guidelines — with the threat of losing federal lunch program funds — school vending machines are not allowed to have any items with more than 200 calories. Yet a White House vending machine sells giant Honey Buns with 590 calories, 17 grams of fat and 30 grams of sugar.


A National Disgrace


Back in August, an al-Qaeda terrorist, dressed as an Afghan soldier, killed Army Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, the highest-ranking American soldier killed in combat since Vietnam.


His family and friends paid their last respects to this hero during his burial at Arlington National Cemetery. His wife Susan saluted her late husband as his remains were removed from a horse-drawn caisson during the burial service. 1st Lt. Matthew Greene saluted his grandfather, Harold Greene.


Sadly, neither the President, the Vice President nor Secretary of Defense Chuck Hegel attended the ceremony and no one from the White House was there to represent them.


The President was playing golf at the Vineyard Gold Club on Martha’s Vineyard and the Vice President was in the middle of the third day of a week’s vacation.


Comment: It’s sad that the President and others failed to attend the funeral of this national hero. Actually it’s a shame. He deserved a lot better.


To date, the President has not commented on the General’s death.


But I remember that the White House sent three members of the President’s staff to the funeral of Michael Brown, the young black man who was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.




Gallup Poll: Solid Majority Favor Prayer in Schools


Americans all across the land overwhelmingly favor allowing schoolchildren to pray in the public schools, according to a new Gallup poll.


A solid majority of 61 percent favor daily prayer in the nation’s classrooms. Thirty-seven percent are opposed.


Some 75 percent of the people also favor religious expressions during school graduation ceremonies and 77 percent believe school facilities should be available to religious groups for after-school meetings.


Comment: When the American people speak on an issue, one would think the elected officials in Washington would listen. But if you believe that, then keep on dreaming. What has happened to this country? Liberal politicians, the ACLU, and left-leaning judges have ambushed the nation and the people no longer matter. How much longer are we going to remain silent and let these groups continue to lead us down the Primrose Path of their making?




Letter to the President from an ER Doctor in Mississippi




Dear Mr. President:


During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive, shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R & B ring tone.


While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as “Medicaid.” (A completely free healthcare program provided by our government).


During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.


You and our Congress expect me and our taxpayers to pay for this woman’s healthcare? I contend that our nation’s healthcare crisis is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a “crisis of culture,” a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one’s self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based on the irresponsible credo that “I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me.”


Once you fix this “culture crisis” that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you’ll be amazed at how quickly our nation’s healthcare difficulties will disappear.


Respectfully,


Starner Jones, MD

Congress Takes Another Vacation


Last week I reported that a couple of months ago Congress took a five-week vacation then returned to Washington for eight days during which time they accomplished virtually nothing.


But voila! They are on vacation again until after the November 5 congressional elections.


When they return, the will work for a few days and get ready for their Christmas vacation.


Comment:We Americans are a bunch of suckers to stand by and watch these men and women in Congress disgrace their offices and try to beguile the taxpayers by telling us how hard they work.


Each member of Congress receives $286,000 in salary and benefits. That is $7,944 per week or $1,134 per day.


Wake up Americans! Come November 5, let’s throw them out of office and see if we can start all over with men and women of character.




Work? What work?


A Mystery: Why Did Eric “Let ‘em Go” Holder Resign?


 Eric “Let ‘em Go” Holder has been one of the most enigmatic attorney generals in recent history. Not since President Richard Nixon’s AG John Mitchell (who used his office to support Nixon’s political agenda), has the AG’s office been used so often to promote President Obama’s political agenda.


Several polls show that Holder’s approval rating with the American people is down to 23 percent. He is clearly one of the most unpopular men in Washington.


Some believe he resigned so that the President would have time to choose his successor and have him cleared through the democratic senate before the November 5 election, should the Republicans take over the senate.


Others believe one of the U. S. Supreme Court justices’ retirement may be imminent and Obama could appoint Holder — again, while there is a democratic majority in the senate, the body that must approve the appointment.


One of his first acts a AG was to release several Black Panthers who had been convicted of threatening voters in Philadelphia with clubs and night sticks during the 2008 presidential election.


He turned them loose and word around the Justice Department was that he would not prosecute blacks.


Next, he refused to defend the federal law that defined marriage as between one man and one woman.


He also told a meeting of state attorneys general it would be okay not to enforce the marriage laws in the 38 states that had such laws.


Earlier this year, “Let ‘em Go” Holder released 39,000 illegal alien criminals from federal penitentiaries including murderers, rapists, kidnappers and those who had committed other serious crimes. Now they are back on the streets of America.


He repeatedly filed lawsuits against states that wanted to introduce voter ID laws for all voters. He said it would discriminate against Hispanic and black voters.


He refused to enforce the laws that require illegal aliens to be deported back to their native lands and, hence, millions have come to the U.S. and are receiving various forms of welfare, food stamps, and other services.


Finally, he has refused to allow the IRS (under his jurisdiction) to turn over emails and other documents to a congressional investigating committee that would shed groups and refused to grant them tax-exempt status before the 2012 presidential election. However, they granted the tax exemption to dozens of liberal groups.


Holder leaves behind a bitter legacy of deceit, lawlessness, cover-ups and bad decisions such as giving 2,500 assault weapons and other guns to drug cartels in Mexico. All he ever said about the gun transfer was that he didn’t know anything about it and would look into it. We’ve heard nothing more.




Commentary


President Obama’s Blueprint for America


What is President Obama’s blueprint for America. Some believe he has a secret agenda, a dangerous plan to create a one-party nation. And he may well be on the way to doing just that.




Dick Morris,author and former advisor to President Bill Clinton, in his new book Power Grab believes this country is at a crossroads. He told Newsmax that the American people can choose a strong constitutional government or endorse the President’s dream: a nation ruled by the democrats with a leftist progressive blueprint for the future.


According to Morris, to implement his secret agenda, the President must do the following:


Execute a giant power grab such as Obamacare that creates a permanent class of people dependent on the government.




Enact “comprehensive immigration reform” which is the President’s name for amnesty for millions of illegal aliens that will vote democrat giving the democrats total control of government for the next 100 years.




Capture the control of state-run education systems by using the Common Core curriculum.




Control private business by giving the EPA governing power in the name of climate change that will affect the lives of all Americans. Note: Current EPA regulations are 38 times longer than the Bible.




Block energy independence that will slow down economic growth and lead to more dependency on government.




Do away with all efforts to reform welfare and keep millions looking to government as their source for everything. That’s why there is a determined effort to get more and more people on food stamps.




Give more authority and control of our nation to the United Nations a body that wants to confiscate all guns from gun owners.




“Obama is a left-wing president who is desperately determined to impose his radical agenda to transform our democratic government and free market economy into his socialist-style ideal before leaving office in 2016,” Morris wrote. “He’s a president who is obsessively fixated on keeping the left in permanent power by turning our two-party system into a one-party monopoly….He is close to achieving his goal.”




Do you see a pattern here?


Comment: Morris is right on target. Otherwise, why would nothing be done about the 11 million illegal aliens that have come into this land and the 100,000 children? Why hasn’t he approved the Keystone Pipeline? Why has the EPA shut down so many coal mines? Why would he support a United Nations Resolution that would require the citizens of all signatory nations to turn in their guns? Why would he advertise in Mexican consulates that when the illegals arrive in the U.S., food stamps will be waiting for them? Why would he continue to push Obamacare when the vast majority of the American people are opposed to it?


Yes, Dick Morris may be right on target.




This is Ray Mossholder for Bill Keith. God bless America… please.

OUR PRESIDENT SAYS "AMERICA IS THE SAFEST IT"S BEEN IN 30 YEARS"

After many hours of waiting and hoping the message on the video was not true, the White House confirmed last night that a second American journalist has been beheaded by Isis. His name is Stephen Sotloff, and President Obama, speaking from Estonia, called him a “devoted, courageous journalist.”9/11


WORLDWIDE NEWS FROM RAY


A free service of Jesus Christ is Lord Ministries


News written and delivered by Ray Mossholder


Audio/Video technology by Georgia Mossholder


Wednesday September 3, 2014


Hello America. Hello world.


From the headquarters of reachmorenow.com in Fort Worth, Texas, this is Ray Mossholder and this is the news.



So much is happening at reachmorenow.com that you will be experiencing with me in the next few weeks that my time is greatly divided between the news and my work with Larry Jack and Georgia to get things ready for you.


I have compiled so much news in the past three days that I can only give you only part of it today or otherwise it would be much too long. But you’ll miss nothing of importance in this and coming newscasts.


After many hours of waiting and hoping the message on the video was not true, the White House confirmed last night that a second American journalist has been beheaded by Isis. His name is Stephen Sotloff, and President Obama, speaking from Estonia, called him a “devoted, courageous journalist.”



The insanity of what continues to occur in the demonic growth of a conscienceless and barbaric plague called Isis – who are in both Iraq and Syria because they’ve broken through Syria’s border and massacred everyone on their way, must be stopped. Meanwhile, they say they will soon lop off another head unless America leaves Iraq with its military.


America is 8 days away from the anniversary of 9/11. We know that and the radical Muslims know that. News has just been released that last month Islamist militants took control of almost a dozen commercial jetliners in Libya and the fear is strong that the terrorists may plan to use them for a far greater 9/11 this year.



I am reminded tonight of the words of George Orwell, the author of 1984, when he wrote “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes an act of rebellion.”


You can rest easy America at the soothing words of our president, that is if you don’t look now. Oh well, maybe you’d better look:


Isis and Al Qaeda are at our Mexican border today and threatening to destroy a major city;


Prime Minister David Cameron of England has raised his nations danger alert to the highest level possible because of threats from Isis.



And President Barack Obama has declared the United States is “at its safest level in three decades.” Be careful golfers. Maybe playing golf numbs the brain!



The truth is America is the least safe it’s been this very minute since the Second World War.



David Cameron’s message to England as he warned his people of imminent attack, can be seen and heard on reachmorenow.com


House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said last week that the very ability of Isis to magnetically draw fighters to join them, fighters who have lived in America, Canada and Europe “is as dangerous a threat matrix as I have ever seen in my ten years on this committee. We need to address it.”



Canada reports there are at least 500 citizens from their country who have now joined the Isis terrorists. Rogers said, “They are just a car ride away from driving across that border and doing something to the United States.”


It’s true that Mike Rogers is a Republican, but this situation goes far beyond your party affiliation or whether you would click the “Like” button or not for President Obama. This has to do with your life, your children’s lives, your grandchildren’s lives, your friends both far and near, your church, and America itself.



Judicial Watch, an organization dedicated to telling the truth about corruption, or information of major importance that is not being covered by the mainstream media, is warning of an imminent attack that is coming at our US/Mexican border. They have released this following statement:


“Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican city of Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle-born improvised devices. High–level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that they have sent out a warning bulletin alerting them of an imminent terrorist attack about to occur on our border. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice, and Defense agencies have all been placed on high alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning the imminent terrorist threat.”



Juarez, Mexico, is famously a crime–infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the United States State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.



It is less likely that terrorists would come across into America from the Rio Grande border because Texas Governor Rick Perry has stationed National Guard troops there.


Judicial Watch continued “Intelligence officers have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to carry out an attack on the border. ‘It’s coming very soon,’ according to a high level source who clearly identified the groups as “Isis and Al Qaeda.”


An attack is so imminent that the commanding general at Fort Bliss, the U.S. Army post in El Paso, has been briefed and is readying his troops”, another source confirms.



This disturbing inside intelligence comes on the heels of news reports that the United States intelligence has picked up increased chatter among Islamist terror networks approaching the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11. While these terrorists reportedly are planning their attack just outside the United States, President Obama admitted until today that “we don’t have a strategy yet” to combat Isis.


“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” the commander-in-chief said this past Friday during a White House briefing. “I think what I’ve seen in some of the news suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we currently are.”



Princeton University Professor Robert George warns that Isis is focused on committing “mass slaughter in the United States.” Professor George said “Isis has every intention of getting there, and these are people who achieve what they set out to achieve. Unless somebody stops them, they make good their threats. Our well-being, our security, our place in the world are vitally threatened by Isis. They will stop at nothing.…in order to destroy anyone standing in their way so that they can establish the caliphate.”



Princeton University Professor Robert George


Professor George further said, “We’re going to have to fight them eventually. Now do you want to do it now in Iraq and Syria, or do you want to wait until they’re carrying out activity within the United States? If they obtain biological or chemical weapons, they will use them. There’s no question. There’s nothing stopping them from using those weapons.”


Last week, Mike Morrell, former director of the CIA and current CBS news national security analyst, warned that Isis could show up in the United States to conduct small-scale attacks.

current CBS news national security analyst


Speaking on CBS This Morning Morrell said, “if an Isis member shows up at a mall in the United States tomorrow with an AK-47 and kills a number of people, I would not be surprised.” Morrell warned “Over the long–term this group could present a 9/11–style threat. It took Al Qaeda two and a half years to plan 9/11. It would not surprise me to know that Isis may be thinking about going in that kind of direction.”



I’ve mentioned Prime Minister David Cameron of England. If you check his statements that he made even a year ago, he sounds like a totally different man. I don’t know he sounded like California Governor Jerry Brown, welcoming Muslims in New England as if they were gold.



October 28, 2013


Friday he told England that he proposes sweeping legislation to combat the “scourge of extremism,” and again warned of the rapid rise of Isis. He promised “in the end we will defeat this extremism.”


In order to win this fight, Cameron has introduced legislation to seize passports at the border. He said England would be working hard to keep out foreign fighters who return from the Middle East and are a threat to the nation. He said, “Passports are not an automatic right.” He then pointed out that 700 have left France to join Isis, and 400 have done the same thing from Germany.



David Cameron also said England would be tightening its air security by demanding that airlines submit a passenger list of all passengers aboard before they would be allowed to land. He will also be forbidding British nationals to return to Britain.


So were our president’s words that we are at the safest point in thirty years, true? I leave it to you to decide.


Perhaps to make America feel even better, The FBI has not included Isis on its list of potential terror threats in the United States. In fact, it lists Isis as a “medium terror risk.” This, in spite of the fact that Isis has now been clearly linked with the Boston Marathon bombing and several other terror attempts, and Isis and Al Qaeda are at our door. Is the prophecy of Reverend Jeremiah Wright coming true? Are these American’s chickens that are coming home to roost?



Reverend Jeremiah Wright


Some of the names of the most dangerous terror groups working in America right now are completely unknown by the vast majority of American citizens. Two of those organizations are Chechen Americans Tamerlan and


D-HOCKHAR (Dzhokhar) TSARNAFE (Tsarnaev). These two groups actually staged the 2013 bombing at the Boston Marathon.


In spite of these things, all FBI training manuals have been purged of any danger at all from radical Islamism. Would someone please be kind enough to explain why the FBI has done this?


Maybe I could get the answer from the University of Florida. That university is opening a center for global Islamic studies. They have brought together a complete staff from religion, science, history, anthropology, languages, literatures and cultures. The center will open September 18 and 19 with the conference called “Global Islam and the Quest For Public Space.”


And if you think David Cameron has had a change of heart, listen to the same man who said America is safer today than any time within the past thirty years. Speaking from Estonia and joining Baltic state leaders on their way to a NATO conference in Wales, President Obama sounded like an entirely different man.



Speaking internationally Obama said, “Whatever these murderers think they’ve achieved by murdering innocent Americans…they have failed. We will not be intimidated. Their horrific acts only unite us as a country to take the fight against these terrorists. And those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget, and that our reach is long and justice will be served.”


A pacifistic president is usually far stronger in their rhetoric than in their actions. Any intelligent American will now be asking, “Does our President really mean America will be going after Isis with full strength to rid them from this world after all he said last week? Or, is it just another red line in the sand for Isis as it was with Syria with no carry-through?” We should find out in the next few days.


On the sixth and seventh of this month – Saturday and Sunday – President Obama will be meeting with David Cameron and 26 other NATO leaders to undoubtedly discuss what to do about Isis, Al Qaeda, and the rest of the terrorists worldwide. They will say a lot about Vladimir Putin at this meeting too. The decisions they make in those two days may shape the future of this whole world.


Meanwhile , what’s wrong with this picture? … The United States Department Of Homeland Security is about to allow hundreds, perhaps thousands of illegal immigrants to return to the United States and that may be just the beginning. The Los Angeles Times says this plan that is about to be put into action is because of a lawsuit waged on behalf of illegal immigrants by the ACLU. The Times says that an “unknown fraction” of the two hundred and fifty thousand previously deported illegal immigrants will actually be encouraged to return to Americai.


The ones being invited back at this moment have this limitation: They must be “longtime California residents with relatives who are United States citizens and… young migrants whose parents brought them into America illegally, and who deported themselves.”


Border Agents will now be required to inform illegal immigrants of their right to fight deportation in the United States Court system (something that would require a great deal of time and taxpayer money.) Border Agents must also “provide them with access to an informational hotline and a list of free legal providers.”



Oh, and there’s more – American taxpayers will pay for ads online, for ads in magazines and newspapers, billboards, and on radio stations in Southern California and Mexico. Working with the Mexico National Football Team, America’s taxpayers will be placing billboards “in high population Mexican cities like Tijuana, Tecate, and Mexicali, as well as observable places near the border. Plus, we will be paying for one minute ads on major Southern California Spanish speaking radio stations.


… In this new America, it’s time, my friend, to learn Spanish!


And, of course, we can bring all the illegal immigrants back, apologize, and give them all the benefits, but we can’t bring one Marine hero, Andrew Tahmooressi, home from a Tijuana prison cell because he missed his turnoff. Does that make sense to you?



Russian Premier Vladimir Putin is asking President Petro Poroshenko to engage in talks on “statehood in southeastern Ukraine.” Shortly thereafter Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, clarified that Putin was not envisioning sovereignty for the two separatist Eastern regions that now call themselves “New Russia.”



Then a few hours later land-based rebel forces attacked a Ukrainian boat. No further details were given, but Ukraine’s major concern is that the rebels are attempting to capture a key land bridge that links Russia with Crimea.


Kiev has agreed to release all ten Russian paratroopers who were taken prisoner in Ukrainian territory last week. Each of the paratroopers were subjected to videotape interrogations which Ukraine posted online to prove Russia’s invasion of Eastern Ukraine. In return for the ten Russian paratroopers, Russia released 63 Ukrainian soldiers.


The Ukrainian government, NATO and Western officials say that thousands of Russian troops backed by tanks and artillery are now inside Ukraine. Vladimir Putin continues to deny this. He says the reason he is being so severely lied about is because NATO is trying to prove that it is still vital and that their power is desperately needed in a world that can’t afford to have NATO done away with.



The Syrian war has now flooded into Israel’s Golan Heights. That’s where the Al Qaeda–linked Nusra Front captured 45 United Nations peacekeepers from Fiji last week in the buffer zone between Israel and Syria. The Nusra Front has issued three demands for the release of the Fijian peacekeepers.



Brigadier General Mosese Tikoitoga has demanded that his name be removed from the United Nations terrorist list; that the United Nations provide humanitarian aid to parts of Damascus; and wants compensation for three of its fighters who were killed in a shootout with the United Nations officers.


Professional United Nations negotiators have been sent to Syria and have described the talks between them and the military leaders as “moving up a notch.”


Meanwhile, Isis is solidly involved in the Syrian war where more than 190,000 have been killed.


Foreign journalists were given the rare privilege in North Korea to have five whole minutes of access to three Americans being held there. The men are missionary Kenneth Bae, Jeffrey Fowle, and Matthew Miller. Bae is serving a 15 year prison sentence for leaving his Bible and his North Korean hotel room.



Missionary Kenneth Bae


Jeffrey Fowle is from Miamisburg, Ohio. The 53-year-old is convicted but not yet sentenced for leaving his Bible in a nightclub in the northern port city of Chongjin after witnessing for Christ there. Having a Bible in North Korea and witnessing are considered “hostile acts.”



Jeffrey Fowle and family


Matthew Miller’s actions when he arrived in North Korea were bizarre. He tore up his passport and pleaded to become a citizen of North Korea. Officials said no and had him arrested. He has yet it has not been sentenced either.



Left to right: Andrew Miller, Jeffrey Fowle, Kenneth Bae


46-year-old Kenneth Bae’s family is extremely worried for him. He has been in prison since 2012 and is very ill. Earlier this year he was moved to a hospital after losing 15 pounds doing hard labor at a labor camp. But he was moved back to the labor camp this past month. Bae is suffering from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and severe back pain.



Kenneth Bae


Washington’s travel advisory for North Korea warns that in the past 18 months, “North Korea has detained several


U.S. citizens who are in that country on organized tours.” Nevertheless, there are several Americans each year who think they need to tour North Korea.


The United States has repeatedly offered to send an envoy for North Korean human rights issues, Robert King, to Pyongyang to seek a pardon for Bae and the others, but has never received a reply. Meanwhile Korean officials have told this missionary that America doesn’t care that he is in prison there.


Still another American has contracted the deadly Ebola virus and he is a doctor who heard of the virus bringing home Dr. Kent Brantly and health aid Nancy Writebol from Liberia to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Dr. Rick Sacra felt impressed by the Lord that he was to go to library at and take their place. He went to serve with the same organization – Serving in Mission – but now has the Ebola virus himself.


Sacra is 51, is married, and is from Holden, Massachusetts. He was not doing what Brantly and Writebol were doing with Ebola patients. Instead he was busy delivering babies at a General Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia. He was taking every precaution against Ebola. It is not understood how Sacra contracted the disease. An investigation has begun.


Perhaps the biggest tragedy of all is that unlike the two who came to Atlanta, Sacra will not be receiving ZMAPP, the drug credited, along with the Lord, for healing both Brantly and Writebol. The drug at this minute does not exist. Scientists in several companies are working to make new doses of ZMAPP available, but it may take as long as six months to have it ready.


The Ebola virus continues to rage unchecked in West Africa with almost 1500 victims who have died from it. This time prayer without the drug should be sufficient. Pray for Dr. Rick Sacra.



Things are relatively quiet in Ferguson, Missouri, but fears are that the town will erupt in violence far more fierce than it ever has if Police Officer Darren Wilson is not found guilty of murder. Many residents of Ferguson are saying however the verdict comes out, they deeply hope that the evidence is overwhelming to confirm it.


The jury at the trial of Officer Wilson is made up of two black women and one black man, six white men and three white women. The attorney representing Michael Brown’s parents says he is pleased with the jury selection as long as the prosecutor presents all of the evidence and holds nothing back. At this point it isn’t clear whether the officer will actually be charged. Freeing Officer Wilson, in itself, could bring back the riots.


While the trial continues, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department has announced they will do their own investigation, a much broader one, that will investigate the Ferguson Police Department over the last several years.



Meanwhile both the local and federal investigations are ongoing. Attorney General Eric Holder will make the final call in the federal investigation. Many officials are urging both investigations to be concluded at the very same time. However, the possibility that that will happen is extremely slim.


President Obama gave a Labor Day speech to Union members in Wisconsin Saturday. He sounded like the union organizer used to be. Here was the main part of his speech:


“If I was looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family, I’d join the union. If I was busting my butt in the service industry and wanted an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work, I’d join a union. If I were a firefighter or a police officer risking my life and helping to keep my community safe, and wanting to make sure I came home safely to my family, I’d join a union.”



The president said that he is going to press Congress hard for a raise in the minimum wage just like he courted Michelle – never taking no for an answer. He warned that if Republicans gain control of Congress after November’s election, it will hurt the chances for such a raise. “But I will do with them what I did with Michelle – wear them down until they fully agree with me.”


Republican Texan Senator Ted Cruz was one of the keynote speakers at a Texas–Americans Prosperity Summit over this past weekend. So were Rick Perry and Rand Paul.



Cruz bashed Obama. He said “In the year 2017, a Republican president is going to repeal every word of Obamacare.” And about Isis, Cruz said “Isis says they want to go backward and reject everything modern. Well, I think we should help them; we ought a bomb them back to the Stone Age.”



Texas Governor Rick Perry said “The good news is there are exactly 128 days left until the next Congress convenes with a Republican house and a Republican Senate.



Rand Paul sued President Obama last week for violating the Constitution, and he said Benghazi and so many other fiascoes should short circuit any possible chance for Hillary Clinton to be elected president.


If you are one who regularly watches ABC’s World News, you know that Diane Sawyer is gone and a brand-new anchor has taken her place – 40-year-old David Muir.



Diane Sawyer and David Muir


Muir isn’t a new face on World News. He has filled in for Diane Sawyer often. He has worked for ABC since 2003 and done many specials beginning that very year with Hurricane Katrina.


As Muir begins, NBC’s Brian Williams will be missing from his anchor role for a few weeks while he has his knee operated on that was injured and has been painful ever since he was playing in a high school football game. Williams has had three earlier surgeries on that knee, but it had weekend give him the kind of pain that wouldn’t let him sleep at night. At that point, he knew he had to have a fourth surgery.



Television ratings are watched closely by companies and businesses who want their products to be seen for the millions of dollars each of them regularly pay for advertising. When it comes to news channels, Fox News is the number one channel watched more than network news or other cable news channels. CNN is a distant second. And MSNBC is hardly watched at all. NBC news is the least watched of the network newscasts.


All of that brings us to the following story:




THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

OUR PRESIDENT SAYS "AMERICA IS THE SAFEST IT"S BEEN IN 30 YEARS"

A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.  Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to devour her under the eyes of her screaming parents.


The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.


Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.  A reporter has watched the whole event.


The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’


The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really.  The lion was behind bars.  I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.’


The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed.  I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page.  So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?’


The biker replies “I’m a U.S. Marine, and a Republican”.


The journalist leaves.


The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:


U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH


……  and THAT pretty much sums up the media’s approach to the news these days.
