Obama’s Army Is Alive & Well, Chaplain Faces Death Of Career Because Of His Faith

Former President Barack Obama’s work to destroy the U.S. Army continues. A respected and long-service Army chaplain faces the end of his career. The Army is about to punish him, for simply standing up for his religious beliefs.

Over the course of his time in office, Obama worked to destroy the military. He used whatever liberal cause imaginable to change it from a fighting force to a political cesspool. Instead of training men for war, the military became a place of activism. Instead of defending our rights, the Army became ground zero of their destruction.

It comes as no surprise that Obama’s policies specifically target Christians and Christian beliefs. Many of the left’s “causes” just happen to undermine the tried-and-true virtues of the Bible. They claim that they only want non-believers to enjoy the same freedom as everyone else, even in the military. The reality is much different.

We’ve seen how often liberals attack Christians. Obama himself fought to give certain groups more rights than everyone else. If you dare disagree with these liberal pets, they will drag you through the mud. For liberals, the rights of certain people are more important than the rights of others.

That’s just what’s happening now in the Army. A chaplain that has served for years, providing spiritual guidance to many soldiers, faces a career-ending punishment. An investigation is trying to brand him as some kind of bigot and villain. Why? Because he refused to conduct a marriage retreat for a lesbian couple.
A military investigation at Fort Bragg in North Carolina determined that Chaplain Scott Squires should be disciplined for his failure to include a lesbian couple in Strong Bonds, a marriage retreat sponsored by the Army.

The investigation determined that the chaplain, who is endorsed by the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB), had discriminated against the soldier based on her sexual orientation…

When Squires realized he could not participate, he rescheduled the event to accommodate the lesbian couple with a chaplain who could oversee the retreat. But apparently that was not good enough. [Source: Fox News]

“The Army EO policy states that no service will be denied to any member of the Armed Service regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation,” read a report from the investigator. “CH Squires should be reprimanded for his failure to include (name deleted) in the initial Strong Bonds Retreat.”

During Barack Obama’s time in office, the military was weighed down with gay and transgender drama. It continues today. But you have to realize, this has been the LGBT agenda all along: to give their members (a shockingly small minority in the U.S.) greater rights than everyone else. They even prioritize their rights over the First Amendment, which forbids the government from violating a person’s religious faith.

Let me ask you something, should the Army EO policy overrule the Constitution? Of course not. This Army chaplain believes the Bible’s teaching on homosexuality. It would be a violation of his faith to condone a gay wedding. Yet the Army is putting the “rights” of this gay couple before the rights of millions of Christians. They are saying the right for lesbians to get married is more important than a person’s sacred faith.
Keep in mind, this chaplain was not discriminating against this couple. He did nothing to persecute, ostracize, or belittle them. He didn’t even try to stop them from getting married. He arranged for another chaplain to officiate. But that’s not good enough for the LGBT agenda. Everyone must obey their demands, or face utter destruction.

The Army’s investigation determined the chaplain should’ve followed military protocol instead of the rules of the Southern Baptists…

Investigators also ruled the chaplain had committed discrimination by explaining to the offended soldier that his religious beliefs prevented him from participating in the retreat. [Source: Fox News]

It’s official: freedom of religion is dead in the U.S. Army. This ruling states the chaplain had to follow military protocol, even though it violated his religious beliefs. The First Amendment doesn’t matter anymore. Gays have more rights than Christians. Let that sink in.

The investigator said Squires’ explanation was “unnecessary” and “created a situation where he unintentionally violated Army EO policy.”

“That would mean a chaplain can’t even talk about their religious beliefs without being accused of discrimination. That would strip thousands of chaplains across our military of their most basic freedoms under the First Amendment,” First Liberty Institute attorney Mike Berry said. [Source: Fox News]

Supporters Flock To See Trump Motorcade, POTUS Stunned By 1 Sign In The Crowd

Supporters Flock To See Trump Motorcade, POTUS Stunned By 1 Sign In The Crowd

On Thursday, President Donald Trump traveled to the Joint Interagency Task Force South at Naval Air Station Key West for a border security briefing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. While en route, he was given an awesome surprise — throngs of Trump supporters had lined the highway into Key West holding homemade banners and waving American flags. POTUS was particularly stunned by one sign he saw in the crowd.

President Donald Trump departed West Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday after spending several days with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife at Mar-a-Lago.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe began two days of meetings with President Trump at the president’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida Tuesday. Just looking over the amount of issues these two world leaders will need to discuss, their “special relationship” will be tested in a historic manner.

At the start of their meeting, President Trump announced, with Abe at his side, that North and South Korean leaders – who are holding their own summit April 27 – will seek to finally reach an agreement to formally end the Korean War, which was halted with an armistice in 1953. [Source: Fox News]

By all accounts, Donald Trump’s time with Shinzo Abe was a resounding success. The pair has kindled a tight relationship ever since the 45th president took office, and that relationship will be instrumental as North and South Korea meet for historic peace talks.

For her part, First Lady Melania Trump treated her Japanese counterpart to a tour of a historic U.S. mansion as their husbands discussed official business:
First lady Melania Trump might be one of the few not overly awed by a marble-bedecked and gold-plated Gilded Age mansion that she and her Japanese counterpart toured Wednesday.

While President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe golfed at the president’s nearby country club, their wives visited Whitehall, the 75-room, 100,000-square-foot (9,290-square meter) waterside retreat that oil and railroad tycoon Henry Flagler built as a wedding present for his third wife, Mary Lily Kenan Flagler. The Flaglers wintered there beginning in 1902, and it is now the centerpiece of the Flagler Museum.

Arriving in a motorcade from Mar-a-Lago, the president’s own gold-plated mansion 3 miles (5 kilometers) away, Melania Trump and Akie Abe were greeted by Flagler’s great grandson William Matthews, and museum Executive Director Erin Manning, who led them through a tour of the home, which historians say cost $4 million ($110 million today) to build.

After wrapping up his time with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, President Donald Trump headed to the Joint Interagency Task Force South at Naval Air Station Key West for a border security briefing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. While en route, he was treated to an inspiring display by his supporters, who had lined the highway into Key West. One woman’s sign labeled Trump “our greatest president.”
President Donald Trump was deeply moved by the outpouring of support he received in Key West, and he commented on the size of the crowds after his briefing at the Naval Air Station. “I hope you saw the crowds in Key West,” the president told reporters. “I’ve never seen anything like that, it was really very inspirational, and what we just witnessed was incredible. Even the media will have to say that was quite something,” Trump said.

Later in the day, a video of the impressive crowd set to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The USA” was posted to Trump’s Instagram account.

Indeed, this level of support for any president one year into their administration is “quite something.” The media is working overtime to discredit him and smear his character by parading around any sleazeball who claims to have slept with him in the past two decades. It is obvious that the American people can see right through these shameless attempts to bring down the man who has turned Washington on its head in the best way.

Investigative Reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s EPIC Tweetstorm Buries Comey Vindicates Trump

Investigative Reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s EPIC Tweetstorm Buries Comey & Vindicates Trump

Award-winning investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson took to Twitter and went on an EPIC “tweet storm,” over James Comey, Robert Mueller, and the “Russia witch-hunt.”

Atkisson, who is one of the most well-respected reporters in the field, BURIED Comey and Mueller, in a sea of FACTS that exposes both men for the partisan bias and vindicates President Trump.Sharyl Attkisson, an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist, summarized James Comey’s memos chronicling his meetings with President Trump in a damning Twitter storm that show that Comey’s memos vindicate Trump and decimate his pal Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian collusion and obstruction of justice.

Attkisson, a former CBS News reporter, pointed out that Comey never wrote in his memos that he felt obstructed or threatened by President Trump, thereby undercutting Mueller’s “obstruction of justice” probe.

Attkisson also noted that the Comey memos showed the former FBI boss “leaked at least one of these memos for the stated purpose of spurring the appointment of Special Counsel,” his longtime friend and mentor Robert Mueller.

Sharyl’s epic tweet storm begins as follows:

Comey memos have been reviewed by several Repub members of Congress: Judiciary Comm Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), House Oversight and Government Reform Comm Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), and House Permanent Select Comm on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Ca.).
Statement from Republican chairmen: “These [Comey] memos are significant for both what is in them and what is not…[They] show the President made clear he wanted allegations of collusion, coordination, and conspiracy between his campaign and Russia fully investigated.”
“The [Comey] memos also made clear the “cloud” President Trump wanted lifted was not the Russian interference in the 2016 election cloud, rather it was the salacious, unsubstantiated allegations related to personal conduct leveled in the dossier.”
“The memos also show former Director Comey never wrote that he felt obstructed or threatened… he never once mentioned the most relevant fact of all, which was whether he felt obstructed in his investigation.”
“[Comey] chose not to memorialize conversations with President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, Secretary Clinton, Andrew McCabe or others, but he immediately began to memorialize conversations with President Trump
“It is significant former Director Comey made no effort to memorialize conversations w/ former Attorney General Lynch despite concerns apparently significant enough to warrant his unprecedented appropriation of the charging decision away from her and the [Justice Dept]”
The memos show Comey was blind to biases within the FBI and had terrible judgment with respect to his deputy Andrew McCabe. On multiple occasions he, in his own words, defended the character of McCabe after President Trump questioned McCabe.”
“[Comey] leaked at least one of these memos for the stated purpose of spurring the appointment of Special Counsel, yet he took no steps to spur the appointment of Special Counsel when he had significant concerns about the objectivity of… Attorney General Loretta Lynch.”
Sharyl Attkisson’s Twitter analysis spotlights the corruption and partisan bias at the upper levels of the FBI, which is still stacked with countless Obama holdovers who hate Trump and have been actively working to undermine him.

In September 2017, Attkisson said she was not surprised by reports that the Obama administration had spied on Donald Trump when he was a private citizen. Because that’s exactly what Obama did to her.

Attkisson said her computer and laptop were hacked after she did stories criticizing then-president Barack Obama. In 2015, Attkisson filed a federal lawsuit against the Obama Justice Department (and then-Attorney General Eric Holder) for breaking into her personal computer. That lawsuit continues to this day.

While the mainstream media have been grousing about President Trump being “mean” to them, Attkisson said the Obama administration weaponized federal intelligence agencies to spy on, intimidate, and silence reporters and political opponents.

Attkissin’s analysis echoed the sentiments of both liberals and conservatives, who agree that James Comey is making a fool of himself and damaging the FBI’s image. Fox News host Mark Levin pointed out that Comey’s memos help Trump and incriminate himself.

Hateful Professor Attacks Barbara Bush, Finally Gets Worst News Of Her Career

Hateful Professor Attacks Barbara Bush, Finally Gets Worst News Of Her Career

Randa Jarrar shocked the country with her vile tweet, insulting the late Barbara Bush. Now, the hateful professor’s employer, Fresno State, is facing serious backlash, and she just got the worst news of her career. What goes around, comes around.

This week, we lost former First Lady Barbara Bush. A member of the Greatest Generation, Mrs. Bush was a fine example of grace, strength, and dignity. After her passing, people on both sides of the aisle offered their condolences and respect. Most Americans remembered Mrs. Bush fondly and were saddened by her passing.

But not everyone. CNN anchors used her death to bash Trump, but an even more shocking display took place on Twitter. Randa Jarrar, an English professor at Fresno State, used her platform to call the former First Lady an “amazing racist” and accused her of raising a “war criminal.” She then cursed out everyone who was sharing nice words about the woman.
It didn’t take long for people to express their outrage. Jarrar responded to comments by calling critics “racist bigots.” Apparently, because she is a liberal feminist (and an Arab American Muslim American woman), she is immune to repercussions. She can be as nasty, hateful, and bigoted as she wants. She even boasted that she could not get fired.

Well, it looks like karma is coming back at Jarrar. According to her Twitter account, she is now “on leave” from Fresno State. The school itself has to issue an apology, distancing itself from the professor. Some have speculated the school can fire her, despite her “tenure.”

That might not be enough to clean up their damaged reputation. Even as Fresno tries to stop what Jarrar started, donors are pulling out.

A Fresno State professor who called the late Barbara Bush “racist” soon after her death Tuesday, and said she was glad “the witch is dead,” continues to face fallout as donors mull ceasing donations to the institution…

Ed Dunkel Jr., who made sizable financial contributions to Fresno State, said he will await the outcome of the controversy before deciding whether to close his checkbook.

“I have a lot of friends that I’ve been talking to, and these are people who donate now and talking about holding back, and some are even questioning whether to send their kids to Fresno State,” Dunkel told the Fresno Bee…

Fresno State President Joseph Castro acknowledged that he’s been having conversations with donors regarding the controversy.

“The conversations I’m having are more about their concern, and I share that concern. I understand where they’re coming from. I’m asking them for understanding here as we work through the complexities of this issue,” he told the Fresno Bee. [Source: Fox News]

According to reports, Jarrar is now traveling overseas. Way to run away and force the school to deal with the problem, eh Randa?
Fresno State (also known as California State University at Fresno) is being cagey. Like most liberal schools in America, they are afraid of coming down too hard on a professor. Liberals will shriek about violating her free speech rights — should Jarrar be fired over a tweet. Hmm, they never seem to worry about those same rights when conservative students are bullied and silenced.

More than trying to keep one teacher happy, though, is the concern over donors. Colleges can’t function without those precious checks. Loudmouth teachers are a dime a dozen, but try to see how long a school can run when the money dries up.

It makes sense that some donors are concerned. They shell out big bucks for their alma maters. When they see one of the teachers say something utterly disgraceful, it makes them think: “Why should my money go to fund that kind of insanity?”
Of course, the school’s faculty have come up with a brilliant solution: a trending topic!
Yeah, let’s #BeBold! and employ a hateful witch that has no problems trashing a former First Lady! It’s not just the tweet that’s problematic. If she was willing to so blithely insult a dead woman, what does that say about her worldview? What kind of toxic, America-hate garbage is she spewing out every day in her classes?

Donors and parents of students have the right to be concerned. This isn’t just about a bad tweet. This is about the kind of teachers Fresno State is hiring. All the hashtags in the world won’t erase that.
The school has only one obvious solution: fire Jarrar. Make it clear to students, parents, donors (and other faculty members) that toxic, hate-driven ideologies are not allowed at that school. Professors have every right to speak their mind online, but when students and donors cough up big bucks to support a school, they shouldn’t be faced with ugly, un-American rhetoric.
