Disabled Students Exploited by Parents of Stupid, College-bound Liberal Kids.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...the sweet effect of Full Circle Liberalism. From the Liberals who pontificate that the "playing field" must be somehow politically leveled so that everyone has equal access to [whatever]. Equal access for everyone...except for themselves.

U.S. News: The affluent exploit disabled students.

"For every student admitted through fraud, an honest and genuinely talented student was rejected," [said U.S. Attorney for District of Massachusetts Andrew Lelling].
[.]
...parents were told by the witness, referred to as CW-1, who founded the Edge College & Career Network, also known as The Key, to have their children "purport to have learning disabilities" so they could get the medical documentation and then request to take the exam at one of two test centers the witness controlled. 

A list of some of the high powered names who resorted to bribery and scamming in order to get their not-so-intelligent LiberTard kids accepted into prestigious colleges.

And oh! The whining of (at lease one) Liberal politician. No one saw this coming (ahem...)

Consider DEM Congressman Yimmy Gomez. Well, Mr. Gomez is "pissed off." Newsweek:

Rep. Jimmy Gomez from Los Angeles said he was “pissed off” at the college admissions scam, of which two of the stated schools — UCLA and USC — are in his backyard.

“Frankly, I’m pissed off!

I worked 2 jobs and went to a #CommunityCollege so I could go to @UCLA and the @Kennedy_School.

How many kids who share my story were robbed of THEIR opportunity by parents who bribed their way through the system?”

But - - - Liberals are Entitled, Mr. Gomez. You know this.

I haven't searched around Teh Social Media, but condemnation of those involved in this scam from the SJWs must be loud, vocal and outraged. Kind of like the outrage displayed at the initial reporting of The Covington Catholic Students. These "voices" must be screeching at the same level of objection, right? Why...the "Outraged Crowd" wouldn't be a bunch of hypocrites...would they?

It's sad when a Liberal feels "robbed", isn't it? We all feel their pain.

  

Sometimes, it's not only okay enjoying teh Schadenfreude, it's spooky ghost ecto-plasmic spontaneous enjoyable Schdenfreude.

Plastic surgeon fired after sharing patient genital photos on Instagram.

Daily Mail: Inadvertent things happen from time to time...I guess?

Dr Christopher John Salgado was recently let go as the section chief of UHealth's LGBTQ Center for Wellness, Gender and Sexual Health.

According to a petition, Salgado, 50, shared photos on the Instagram account @sexsurgeon that violated patient privacy policies and that contained 'racist, transphobic, homophobic comments and hashtags'.

"This CT scan on the left shows a very large dildo of a transman that inadvertently released
into this person's butt/rectum requiring surgical removal."

Yeah, but how 'bout that healthy-looking spine, huh?

According to The Wall Street Journal, United States Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell told the German government in a letter on Friday that allowing Chinese vendor equipment across 5G networks would reduce US cooperation with intelligence agencies in Germany.

Grenell pointed out that Chinese law requires Chinese companies to support China's security agencies[.]

Iowa Dems support energetic, youthful, presidential candidates! Oh, I got that all wrong.

Investing.com: Biden tops 2020 Iowa prez poll.

Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden topped a poll of Iowa voters on Saturday that also showed Senator Bernie Sanders gaining momentum against him in the No. 2 spot.

Biden, who has not announced whether he is running in the 2020 election, is the first choice for president of likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers with 27 percent in the Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom Iowa Poll. Sanders, 77, got 25 percent.

Sanders...Number 2. I won't disagree with that.

Biden; old (turns 77 in November) white guy. Entrenched DC insider.

Standing Rock, Taxpayer funded art, offensive?

KMSP FOX 9: Police depicted as Nazis, Klan and Trump groping woman.

The painting, by Anishinaabe artist Jim Denomie, depicts the 2016 protests over the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota. Protesters were concerned about the impact on the Missouri River and the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

Denomie’s work shows Native American protesters on one side of a fiery river holding peaceful signs. On the far bank are police with military vehicles, attack dogs and a water cannon. One of the vehicles features a swastika, while Klan members stand behind the police. Nearby, a caricature of President Donald Trump is seen groping a woman.
[.]
State Rep. Josh Heintzeman, R-Nisswa, said the painting was “repulsive” and said the Arts Board should not fund projects like this.
[.]
Denomie said the state should continue funding art that criticizes the government because it’s part of the democratic process.

“I invent creative ways to express this information in hopes that people will stop and think about that history and those events,” he said.

 

Images via KMSP; artist Jim Denomie

Hit the link for more images and info. Note, that the amount of one grant Mr. Denomie received was the organization's maximum of $10,000. I'd like to see the invoice(s) and amounts for paint and canvas supplies.

Should "provocative art" have a purpose beyond just being provocative? I'm not sure I buy the artist's rationalizations of his "deeper meanings" behind the images. For me, I base it on "plug-in different characters" and what's the result? In other words, substitute any and all different people and groups for those that are represented in the images, and is the result the same, different or unchanged? Bill Clinton groping a woman? R. Kelly? Drug cartels and gangs depicted as a KKK-like group? Insert the Anti-Defamation League as the "crushing law enforcement" agency? The U.N.? LGBTQ? Russians? Irish? Muslims? The Rotary Club? Toastmasters?

Does art like this work towards a process of healing and improving relationships or does it further foment division and prejudices? Should the government fund "the arts"? If so, what restrictions, if any, should be placed on artistic details and expression? Would "the arts", in general, suffer greatly if limited solely to private funding and philanthropy?

Subject-matter or "rationalized subject-matter" notwithstanding, the quality of the painting(s) itself - and I'm no painter or paint artist by any means - resembles cheap, water-color figures from a C- high school student art class assignment.

Libs Omar, Cortez, Tlaib Serve Pelosi Platter of Ass.

Daily Wire: Cortez, Omar, Tlaib Normalizing Anti-Semitism.

A trio of far-left Democrats are normalizing blatant anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party as leaders in the party idly stand by and refuse to condemn their actions and statements.
[.]
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — all new members of Congress — have all defended anti-Semites or espoused anti-Semitic positions over the last several months.

Vice News: House resolution condemns many things meant to address Omar.

“Why are we doing this?” said Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a New Jersey Democrat, in a closed-door House Democratic Caucus meeting, according to the Washington Post. “We’ve individually and collectively already responded to the fact that we oppose all isms that do not treat people in this country fairly and justly.”

Omar’s progressive colleague in the House, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also publicly pondered why the resolution targeted Omar, specifically, and not other members’ conduct.

NY Post: Watered-down condemnation resolution.

...following a backlash from young Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed down Thursday, instead introducing a kitchen sink resolution[.]
[.]
“Why are we unable to singularly condemn anti-Semitism? Why can’t we call it anti-Semitism and show we’ve learned the lessons of history?” [asked Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.)].

Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), who heads the Foreign Affairs Committee where Omar has a seat, questioned why a move to condemn Omar’s hateful remarks had devolved into little more than an obvious statement that hatred in all its forms is bad.

NPR: Ilhan Omar not named in resolution.

It is the second time that the House voted to condemn anti-Semitism as a rebuke of Omar, although she is not named in either resolution.

What's news? Some old, some new.

A mix of current events and news all crammed into one post.

It's amazing that, in what is over four weeks old, no one can identify the two people in VA DEMOCRAT Gov Ralph "Klansman or Blackface" Northam. No one. No one from the class(es) included in the yearbook, none of the others appearing in other pictures, the staff, the editors. No one.

It's not amazing he hasn't resigned or been forced out of office. The racism of Dems...oh, that's easily overlooked by the party of the KKK. When a political party created from the formation of the KKK rears its ugly head of racism...they receive a "Get out of Racism Charges Free" Card. We learned this long ago with Dem/KKK Grand Kleagle Robert "White Nigger" Byrd. He died in June, 2010. I enjoyed reading his obituary.

VA Dem Gov Ralph "It's me, it's not me in Blackface or KKK"  

Northam and wife Pam "Here, have some cotton" Northam.

Then, Mrs. Ralph Northam, hands out cotton to Black students, asking them to "imagine being a slave." This is the second, most stupid woman on earth. The Queen of Stupid is Joyless Behar. But Mrs. Northam, well, she's really trying to overtake Behar's Number One Spot. Maybe on Passover, April 20, Pam Northam can hand out Swastikas to some Jewish children and ask them to "imagine what it's like being in a concentration camp."

R.Kelly's cries and whining made me laugh! Histrionics...the obvious and expected reactions of an innocent person. R. Kelly...what a little bitch.

Fair Use 107

Anyone hear from Jussie Smollett recently? He's off the MSM radar coverage cycle. The MSM can't and won't continue reporting on a "minority" who stages his own hate attack, blaming it on the political climate and supporters of President Donald Trump.

Nanny Pelosi invokes The Constitution. Who knew she knew about this document? Amazing. Well, live and learn.

An AOC staffer, and maybe AOC too, were photographed eating hamberders. She fumed and became defensive when this news hit the media.

And AOC is under scrutiny for staff mismanagement of campaign funds. She's so brilliant and educated that it's difficult to believe she didn't know, and isn't aware, of the legal ramifications of this.

The satanic Denver International Airport, the center of the NWO, has a talking, interactive gargoyle. What better way for the NWO'ers and Illuminati to hide their agenda in plain sight. I'd like to interact with the gargoyle and ask him it if it approves of child sacrifices and if his/its father is George Soros, aka Gyorgy Schwartz. 'Ya ever notice his first actual birth-name ends in the letters "orgy"?

A doppelganger of sHrillary Clinton spoke at Selma, Alabama. We know it was a doppelganger because she flapped those fat lips of hers for over six minutes, somehow managing to avoid her chronic and usual coughing spells. She didn't lapse into her "spasm zone" either. Well, it wasn't Hillary, it was her doppelganger.

Speaking of Mrs. Clinton, still - somewhere, someone out there - is in possession of her missing emails. They are out there somewhere. They have to be. She also gets a "Get Out of Racism Free Card" because she's a Lib. Her using the term "sand nigger", oh, her party and the MSM spend no time covering this. Is racism subjective dependent upon one's political party affiliation?

From: Hillary Clinton To: Robert Russo Date: 2012-03-05 02:55 Subject: FYI, FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
[.]
"And now the guys in the van are perhaps not quite as nice before, because it is getting late and they want to get back and wonder what have they done to have deserved copping this sand nigger and what are they going to do with him now."

Her using racist terms is nothing new. But she's never held accountable for it.

Ilhan Omar

We should all feel really sorry for Minnesota's radical Islamist-Terrorist sympathizer Congresswohman Ilhan Omar, the anti-Semite elected by the 5th congressional district of Minnesota, which includes the city of Minneapolis. She feels she's being picked on. Oh, The Horrah! The 5th district must be so proud of her. Same for all the Far-Left leaning Jews who live in her district. Yes, 5th district, you elected the cream of the crop with Omar. You get the anti-Semites you elect. Now, live with it.

Bernie Sanders, presidential candidate for the party of Karl Marx, recently demonstrated the Liberal wealth-envy ideology by saying he didn't have a wealthy father - a comparison to Trump's father. Bernie's dad sold paint. Nothing wrong with that. There's also nothing wrong with being a real estate developer.

Bernie is envious that he hasn't accumulated the same amount of wealth as has President Trump. Maybe that's because while Citizen Trump was working (actually working) in developing a successful real estate business, Bernie was actively writing pornography about how women fantasize about being gang raped by several men. Bernie gets a pass on his writings because he's a Commie.

"Rape is Okay", by Bernard Sanders

The Insane Liberal Clown Posse (the ILCP) and their Green New Deal (GND) looks forward to a day without airplanes, hamberders, the internal combustion engine and the use of fossil fuels.

Let's all pretend the ILCP, their GND and all the global warming global cooling climate change data is real, factual and un-rebuttable. In keeping with eliminating those "luxuries", shouldn't the ILCP shut down the entire entertainment industry? Movies, music, concerts, television, theater?

The entertainment industry consumes fossil fuels like Ted Kennedy drank Irish Whiskey. Do we really need movies, television, music? Do we really need computers, cell phones, iPhones? Again, no one - especially this new group of self-righteous pubescent and pre-pubescent crowd who subscribe to the "environmental sky is falling" mentality - bothers to address the issue of child slave labor mining lithium and cobalt. No...the enemy is fossil fuels. Child slave labor? Expendable. "Drill, Baby Drill" is entirely appropriate, for the ILCP, as long as it's cobalt and lithium.

MN Gov Timmy "Celebrity Canned Ham Head" Waltz, Uber-Lib, is making the most of his new-found celebrity-hood as the state's highest elected official. I don't think a day has gone by since he was sworn into office where he hasn't made an appearance somewhere, spouting some silly, hackneyed, rhetoric, that his mug hasn't found its way to a camera.

Timmy is doing all he can do in advancing the confiscation of firearms of legal gun owners. So all you MN Dems who claim you believe in the Second Amendment (who also hunt and competition sport-shoot, which has nothing to do with the Second Amendment anyway), you just keep voting for the candidate with a "D" behind their names because that's how your parents and grandparents voted. Vote for a Republican? They're only for the rich and business sector. Thankfully, the majority-Republican MN Senate should reject any bill seeking to infringe on our Constitutional Right. Or not. I never underestimate the ability of any Republican voting like a Democrat.

Here's a question for the Gun Control Crowd: What common sense gun legislation would you advise that will prevent an active, serving, law enforcement officer from illegally selling guns to gang members?

Every supporter of the Second Amendment needs to view two videos at the Gun Blog Black List (GBBL). The first video is on H.R. 1112 and the second video H.R. 1263.

No food in Venezuela

Not sure what I believe is going on in Venezuela. Is the no-food available anywhere political optics for the world stage? Because other reports show food is plentiful and available.

Those of us who want no part of the ILCP should refrain from calling for resignations or censures of the likes of Minnesota's Pillow Case Congresswohman, Michigan's Talalaia Tlaib or the former NY bartender who now gets to play "Big People" job. Let them run free. Let them speak. Distribute their remarks. Their words and actions work so well against the Libs, let them bury themselves.

A man, illegally carrying a gun - a .9mm - holstered it in the front of, and inside, his pants. He went to adjust it, it fired, the bullet entered just above his penis and exited through his scrotum. Just a reminder that using your crotch as a holster isn't a good choice.

Sharia Law Patrol has been up and running in NYC. Coming soon to a neighborhood like yours. But Libs will be  supportive of this because at least no one will be wearing MAGA hats.

Potential Dem 2020 Prez Candidate Gropin' Joe Biden sure is creepy. You do know Social Climbing Joe, (turns age 78 in November 2020), received FIVE deferments for military service for asthma.

While his asthma kept him out of Vietnam, his asthma, strangely, did not prevent him from playing football, baseball and lifeguard duty. And Biden lied, and continues lying, that the driver who struck and killed his first wife was driving under the influence of alcohol. This is a wholly manufactured lie on Biden's part. That he continues perpetuating this fiction is shameful. But, no one has ever accurately assessed that Liberals are remotely familiar with shame.

Sometimes, while I think Roseanne Barr is "a little too far out there", I think she makes a lot of sense here.

"Carlos Danger" aka Anthony Weiner

Why haven't we heard of any progress on the seized laptop of Huma Abedin and her hubby Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner? (Carlos Danger...). Last I recall reports of what was on that laptop made hardened, NYC cops sick and nauseated by what they viewed. Weiner served only a 15-month prison term. He was granted early release for good behavior. Well, that must be one of the perks in being a Liberal and Clinton loyalist.

The above are just a few of the stories I let sink in over the past few weeks. I guess, maybe, avoiding daily and regular updating eventually leads to long, and perhaps, boring updates like this one.

I'll be back to updating on a more regular basis, but will wait a few days. I know reading something this lengthy sucks. If you've managed to make it through this, you're a far better reader than I am a writer.

Semi truck drives onto Lake Minnetonka

FOX 9 KMSP:  Semi-truck driver drives onto Lake Minnetonka.

According to the Hennepin County Water Patrol, the driver was reportedly making a delivery to a resident on the lake when he drove onto the snow-covered ice.
[.]
According to Jeremy Elshaug, who was on the lake checking on his fish house, he and some other ice-goers helped the truck driver dig out the rig. Elshaug then used his pickup truck to pull the truck to a less snowy area.

A brief update on radio news said the truck driver was following his GPS directions. Minnetonka is a big lake with many homes around it. In certain areas, in winter, with today's diminished visibility - going by GPS - yeah, I can see how driving onto the lake would happen. Lucky the ice is as thick as it is, holding the weight of a semi.

Trump Mocked on 6G but the joke is on the TechTards!

The TechTards are out in full force.

Caution: TechTards advised to have paper bag nearby in the event of hyperventilation. Or, a candy dish filled with Benzos.

President Donald Trump was mocked big-time today by the TechTards for his comments about 5G and 6G technology.

Let's jump to the finish line first.

6G was being discussed in January 25, 2018...(there goes the breathing in and out of the paper bag)...at...the University of California...(grabbing at the candy dish)...of...Santa Barbara! ("Jennifer... I need more Benzos!")

UofC - Santa Barbara "Beyond 5G":

...the focus of the newly established ComSenTer, a $27.5 million center for converged terahertz communications and sensing at UC Santa Barbara, led by UC Santa Barbara professor of electrical and computer engineering professor Mark Rodwell.

“Our center is simply the next next generation of communication and sensing, something that may become ‘6G’,” said Ali Niknejad, ComSenTer associate director and a UC Berkeley professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences.

How could all the TechTards, who are mocking Trump, be unaware aware of a technology conference, at their beloved Santa Barbara that included a UC Berkeley professor?

CISCO - not to be confused with CRISCO, TechTards - was talking about 6G in JANUARY 2019 at THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW IN LAS VEGAS.

ZD Net: Cisco talks 6G at the LV CES Show:

Cisco is looking to a 6G future, CTO of Service Provider Networking Michael Beesley told ZDNet at CES 2019, and already has a rough idea of what 6G will bring when it comes.

According to Beesley, 6G will take around 15 to 20 years to reach peak scale deployment, as the world has only just passed that tipping point for 4G.

Yes, a fully deployed 6G is several years away. But, to repeat part of the above, 4G peak just passed the tipping point, there's still plenty of shelf life remaining. With Tech, the leap to the next level can be well ahead of plans and expectations.

Recall your tech devices and network reliability of ten years ago, their capabilities and limitations and compare them to networks and the devices you have today. Night and day. We could see 6G Beta by the end of 2020.

April 2018: Engerati told us 5G is upon us.

September 2018: Verizon announces "5G is here."

Brad Reed, writing at Raw Story, got the ball rolling in mocking Trump and 6G:

Headline: Trump hilariously mocked after he writes technologically illiterate tweet

Reed's article appears at The New Civil Rights Movement.com:

Headline: ‘We Also Want Time Machines’: Trump Hilariously Mocked After He Posts Technologically Illiterate Tweet

Tom Nicholson, writing at Esquire (via Yahoo):

Headline: Donald Trump Really Wants (Non-Existent) 6G Technology. He Wants It Here And He Wants It Right Now

Sorry TechTards, 6G exists, is alive and well.

Sputnik News: China 6G Hype Premature.

"China is expected to gear up for its conceptual development and trials of 6G as early as 2020 in a bid to lay out policy brush strokes and its own sets of definitions and standards," Asia Times said in a recent article.

Sure, China may be a little overly-optimistic in their plans, but when have TechTards not been overly-optimistic in anything Tech? Especially Green Tech? How's all those solar panels working out? Are we powering all the country from the sun yet? How are EV batteries holding up in winter temperatures? "Can I get me some ethanol here?" All those things happened overnight, right?

Cali's L.A. to San Fran Train to Nowhere. Image: AP

If the TechTards want to justly mock Trump for 6G, the best, and only, ammo they have is that they're right in saying 6G "won't be here tomorrow." The least they can do is get their own mocking right.

That California bullet train from L.A. to San Fran, the Train to Nowhere, WHEN is THAT going to be completed, TechTards? Tomorrow? This year? May 9, 2065? I'd put down money we'll see 6G before that bullet train is operational.

Thank you, TechTards, for bringing your Tech Illiteracy front and center. Don't do the slightest due diligence. Why bother? Print anything. Anything. People will believe it because....because you write it? Not unlike an actor staging a racist attack on himself and maintaining a belief it factually happened.

'Global Britain', UK putting on Big Boy Pants (again?)

The London School of Economics and Political Science: 'Global Britain': Have we lost our marbles?

In an extract from their new United Nations Association report, Jess Gifkins (University of Manchester), Samuel Jarvis (University of Southampton) and Jason Ralph (University of Leeds) warn that Brexit – alongside other factors – is likely to shrink Britain’s global influence.

Whilst the phrase Global Britain has a range of historical connotations, it has been taken on by the UK government as the defining phrase to encapsulate the UK’s foreign policy post-Brexit. Yet despite significant rhetorical references to the phrase, there is still no clarity on what Global Britain might mean, even from a UK perspective.
[.]
Perceptions from the British elite on the impact of Brexit on the UK’s reputation in the UN are bleak. An anonymous interviewee described perceptions of the UK currently as “we’ve lost our marbles” and Former UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock reported that “most other people – almost without exception – think we’ve shot ourselves in the foot”.

The report describes the bee as being about the size of an adult thumb, with a wingspan of about 2.5 inches (6.35 centimeters). That means it's four times larger than the European honey bee.

Jussie Smollett faked attack to promote his career, get higher pay.

WWL TV: 'Empire' actor faked attack to promote career.

"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett "took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career" when he made a false police report about an attack in Chicago, the city's police superintendent said Thursday.

Smollett also sent a racist and homophobic threatening letter to the Fox studio lot where he works in Chicago before the attack, Supt. Eddie Johnson said. He said Smollett was dissatisfied with his salary.

San Diego Union Tribune: Chicago top PD PO'ed over Smollett staged attack.

When investigators figured out the real motive behind the attack, “quite frankly, it pissed everybody off,” [said Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Thursday morning].

Breitbart: Facing federal U.S. Postal charges.

For filing a false police report, Smollett could face three years in prison and a hefty fine that could include the cost of the investigation. The hate letter could mean federal mail fraud charges.

UPDATE - The Telegraph: Jussie Smollett charged with filing false police report.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said prosecutors charged Smollett with felony disorderly conduct, an offence that could bring one to three years in prison and force the actor to pay for the cost of the investigation into his report of a January 29 beating.

Police were trying to get in touch with Smollett's lawyers to "negotiate a reasonable surrender," Mr Guglielmi said. That could involve Smollett turning himself in to a Chicago police station.

Time to turn yourself in, Jussie. Total hoax. Fabricated assault.

Hoda Muthana, ISIS bride. Does she return to the United States?

We are told, not asked, but told to forgive and love our enemies.

What is the right thing to do with Hoda Muthana, the ISIS bride in Syria who now wants to return to America?

USA MacPaper - Montgomery Advertiser: Should Alabama ISIS bride Hoda Muthana be allowed to return home?

An American woman who traveled to the battlefields of Syria and married and had a child with an Islamic State fighter wants to come home and face the U.S. justice system, her family's Florida-based lawyer told USA TODAY.

Hoda Muthana left Hoover, Alabama to join the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, four years ago at age 19. In Syria, she called for Americans to be attacked, and she spread the group's propaganda online.

LifeZette: Hoda Muthana "okay" with beheadings.

[Muthana] "knew about" and was "OK with ISIS beheadings."
[.]
She married three different jihadi fighters while in the Middle East. Her first two husbands, one an Australian jihadist and the other a Tunisian fighter, were killed. The third marriage to a Syrian fighter was reportedly “brief.”

The Feral Irishman: Alabama Woman Who Joined ISIS Wants To Come Home.

This story reminds me of an old Cherokee proverb where a young boy picks up a snake and later cries and moans when the snake bites him. The snake's simple reply to the boy was "well, you knew I was a snake when you picked me up".

There are those on The Left who believe Hoda Muthana is sincere and she should be allowed to return to the U.S. These same individuals on The Left believe, without a shred of proof, that President Donald Trump is a Russian agent. If you don't realize the hypocrisy here, I won't point it out because you will never realize it or admit it. You have pledged your political bias to overrule rational thought.

In my heart, I have forgiven those who have hurt me. In my heart, I do love those who have wronged me. The Bible teaches us to "love our enemies." The Bible does not say we have to have lunch with, or have coffee with, our enemies. I can love those who have wronged me from a distance. I don't need to interact with them and nowhere in the Bible are we told to do this.

Bible.ca: 2 John; 7-11.

However, John (as with Paul) warns that abiding with these deceivers will cause them to "lose those things we worked for." (2 John 8)

To "receive him into your house" shows a willingness to associate with a desire to be a companion with them and share in their false doctrine - this God forbids lest we approve of what they teach.
[.]
I cannot greet a person as a Christian who is not a Christian nor should I condone their false doctrine.

So what do we do about Hoda Muthana? My opinion: We collectively, in our hearts, forgive her. We have to, otherwise, those of us who are Christians cannot honor what our Lord tells us we must do.

Hoda Muthana can remain in Syria. Or, she can reside in any other country that will accept her. But the U.S. should reject any notion of permitting her back into our country.

Input, thought, comments - please. Thank you.

UPDATE - MSN: State Department declares Hoda Muthana won't be allowed back to U.S.

President Donald Trump is taking credit for the State Department's announcement Wednesday that an Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State group in Syria will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S.

Trump tweets: "I have instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees, not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the Country!"

Pompeo announced on Wednesday that Muthana won't be allowed to enter the country with her toddler son because she is not an American citizen, a claim that was challenged by her lawyer.

Muthana is now in a refugee camp in Syria along with others who fled the Islamic State, and says she made a mistake in joining the group.

Pompeo said she has no "legal basis" to claim American citizenship. But her lawyer says the administration's position is based on a "complicated" interpretation of immigration law.

Good! Good for the State Department, President Trump and Pompeo. It's also good to hear Muthana realizes she "made a mistake" aligning herself with ISIS. She may even mean that, I think she does. But...decisions have consequences. The problem here, and also the problem within generalized Liberalism is there are too many people who believe that decisions shouldn't have consequences.

She knew what she was getting into. She played an active role in "hate and harm America." Her legal representation's claim of the "complicated" interpretation of immigration law? We can cut to the chase and call it exactly what it is, a legalese appeal to "Roll out the red carpet and welcome mat for terrorist sympathizers to live in America." No, it doesn't work that way.

We often don't appreciate what we have until we no longer have it. A conscious choice is made to abandon something that is either taken for granted or unappreciated. Until it's gone. Then, it's too late.

H.R. 8 - Dems give free pass to illegals on failing background check, saying ICE need not be notified.

World Tribune: Dems give illegals pass on background check.

Democrats are pushing hard for tougher gun control laws – except, apparently, when illegal immigrants are involved.

Last week, H.R. 8, named the The Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, passed the House Judiciary Committee on a 23-15 party-line vote. The legislation requires background checks for essentially all sales and transfers of firearms.
[.]
Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Repubilcan, tweeted on Feb. 13: “Democrats in the Judiciary Committee just voted against notifying ICE when an illegal alien fails a background check to buy a gun. They hate ICE so much that they’d keep ICE in the dark when illegals try to get guns!”

If you care about our Second Amendment, contact your Representative and express your concerns about H.R. 8.

Why are the Dems hellbent on keeping law-abiding citizens from legally purchasing firearms? Why are Dems unconcerned about people in the country illegally who acquire firearms that fail a background check?
