Thoughts concerning today’s military commanders...

After spending 30+ years in uniform Iam very critical of the recent/past military promotion of field commanders. I believe that many have been promoted and given command based on their political correctness and willingness to parrot the feel good social engineering emphasized by political leaders over the last 10 years or so! Officers and Ncos failings political correctness qualifications and/or not parroting the social engineering party line were not promoted and/or driven out of the services. Cases in point: the Navy’s recent series of collisions at sea, The number of senior officers releaved of command and/or driven out of the services after the Obama/Clinton Bengahzi debacles! It’s time to get back to promoting and assigning those officers and ncos capable of leading our troops and defeating the enemy! Screw political correctness, social engineering experiments and the ass-kissing cocktail groups currently

screwing up our military!!!

Navy Sailor Refuses To Stand For National Anthem - IMMEDIATELY Regrets It. WRITTEN BY DAVID MILLER

It may work for the NFL but not for the Armed Forces. One way for people to learn discipline, since the Schools no longer have any, Actions=Consequences..... GOODBYE PETTY OFFICER 2ND CLASS JANAYE ERVIN! Article 92 of the UCMJ A former Navy intelligence specialist recently took a page out of Colin Kaepernick's playbook and refused to stand for the national anthem during morning colors. However, she quickly learned she'd made a huge mistake. Conservative Tribune reported that Petty Officer 2nd Class Janaye Ervin was stripped of her security clearance and assigned to menial labor for a few days before she was forced to leave the Navy for disrespecting our country so blatantly. It all started on September 19, when Ervin refused to stand for the anthem when she was on reserve duty at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii. The International Business Times reported that Ervin claimed she was trying to make a statement about blacks being persecuted in the United States by doing this. "I just didn't want to stand at that moment," Ervin said. "I can't stand for this song knowing that the song isn't for me, being black. The song doesn't represent me at all. To be honest, I never really thought about the flag my entire life, I had no reason to. It's just a flag." The next day, Ervin's superiors read her her rights and gave her a warning about potentially compromising her security clearance, which she needed for both her military and civilian job. One day after that, she was stripped of her security clearance and escorted out of the secure area where she was working. Ervin is now claiming that she was never told which order she was violating, but this is clearly a lie since she violated the 10th general order for sentries , ( To salute all officers and colors and standards not cased. ) which is taught in Navy boot camp. All members of the Navy are forced to memorize all 11 general orders in boot camp, and they are aware that violating any one of them is subject to Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and is subject to whatever punishment is decided by court-martial. On September 21, Ervin took to Facebook to publicly whine about how "unfair" this has been for her. "The Navy has decided to punish me for defending the Constitution and has taken away my equipment I need to do my Naval job," she wrote, according to PopularMilitary.com . Hey, Janaye, the Navy did not take ANYTHING from you - you forfeited your own job when you knowingly violated a general order. SHARE this story if you think she got what she deserved

NFL protesting the flag - POWERFUL! I will forward this and am fully in agreement with the letter below!

I don't think this could have been said any better and it definitely is about time someone said it. Hopefully, this will go out over EVERY computer in the U.S. and maybe, just maybe, these sports people will get the message of just how ridiculous they are to disrespect our flag, and how little what they do in sports compare to what our great military has done for this country.. NFL protesting the flag – POWERFUL! image Ret. Marine Col. Jeffery Powers wrote to the NFL commissioners the following: Commissioners, I've been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and the Giants Stadium. I missed the '90-'91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt. Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it. Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins. Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside playing with a ball and believing they're something special! They're not! My Marines and Soldiers were! You are complicit in this! You'll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it's their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner. What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly? I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that's much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn't it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone? Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game! You condone it all by your refusal to act. You're just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not. Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles. They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don't do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced They don't even have ice! Many don't have legs or arms. Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes. I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you! Time to change the channel. Powers originally sent his letter to former Florida congressman Allen West. West then posted the letter to his news website. As of last week, at least 18 NFL player had protested the anthem by either kneeling during the anthem or raising their fists, according to USA Today Sports. If you agree with what he said please pass this on.

Liberalism (Libtardian) (Socialist) (Progressive) (Domestic Terrorist) = Democrat

EXCERPT FROM LETTER TO THE EDITOR IN WSJ:

The cause of the left’s disease isn’t that it took identity politics too far—that is just one symptom. The root cause is that the left has abandoned truth for power. The central teachings of the left (welfare cures poverty, only whites can be racist, capitalism is oppressive, gender is malleable, abortion is just a choice, unions help workers, trace levels of CO 2 control the climate) are false, no matter how often they are repeated. Progressive policies (socialized medicine, taxing the rich, alternative energy, centralized control over the economy) don’t work, no matter how often they are tried. I have no worry that I am tipping off the adversary. Liberals never admit that what they are doing is wrong, they just insist that they haven’t done enough of it yet. BRAD TUPI Pittsburgh

New American Civil War Pits Patriots Against The Radical Violent George Soros-Funded Progressive Left by Geoffrey Grider...

New post on Now The End Begins ANTIFA, the domestic terror group that claims to be "anti-fascist" in in fact highly fascist and aggressively violent. They have their beginnings in 2015, started on a Yale campus of all places in 2015, and have grown to be the Left's version of the KKK. Just like the KKK hates blacks, ANTIFA hates Jews. For 8 years, Barack Obama and the radical, George Soros-funded Left in this country did everything they could to enflame racial and political tensions. If you disagreed with Obama Marxist policies, it was because you secretly hated black people. If you complained that Michelle Obama was taking too many taxpayer-funded luxury vacations, it was because you secretly hated women and black people. The list was never ending and always arrived at the same place. Racial divisions. Then Black Lives Matter came along, and in 2016 people started dying. 5 officers were slain in Texas by shooter Micah Johnson with ties to Black Lives Matter. In the same year, in Sterling’s Baton Rouge, 125 people were arrested; an officer struck with a projectile lost several teeth. In Chicago, protesters broke through a police barricade, and multiple people were arrested on charges of battery against police. And in Castile’s St. Paul, Minn., more than 100 protesters were arrested when protesters used an overpass over Interstate 94 to throw rocks and rebar at police, injuring 21 officers, including one who suffered broken vertebrae when a concrete block was dropped on him from above. When one officer was injured, protesters cheered: “One piggly-wiggly down!” If police are even more fearful after all this, they would not be without reason. So where does Black Lives Matter get all the money to hire fleets of buses to bring in agitators from different states? George Soros, through his various shell companies and ghost organizations, funds all of it. ANTIFA in America, the domestic terror group that claims to be "anti-fascist" is in fact highly fascist and aggressively violent. They have their beginnings in 2015, started on a Yale campus of all places in 2015, and have grown to be the Left's version of the KKK. Just like the KKK hates blacks, ANTIFA hates Jews. This is the real face of ANTIFA, still think they are "anti-fascist"? antifa-flyer-charlottesville-fascists-heebs-domestic-terror-group HERE IS THE ANTIFA FLYER HANDED OUT AT CHARLOTTESVILLE RIOTS ADVOCATING FOR GOVERNMENT OVERTHROW OF "WHITE RACISTS AND HEEBS". WELCOME TO THE LEFT'S KKK. As you look at that flyer, and hopefully study it, what conclusion might you come to? If you are honest, you conclude that ANTIFA, funded by George Soros just like Black Lives Matter, is a domestic terror organization using fear, violence and intimidation to force their agenda down our throats. In short, they are the enemy of all freedom-loving, American patriots who desire to be governed by the rule of law. Now, black lawmakers who support ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, are demanding that statues in our nation's capitol get taken down. “Confederate memorabilia have no place in this country and especially not in the United States Capitol. These images symbolize a time of racial discrimination and segregation that continues to haunt this country and many African-Americans who still to this day face racism and bigotry,” Thompson said in a statement to The Hill. “It is past time for action to remove all Confederate symbols in the U.S. Capitol and on the Mississippi state flag.” So I ask you, where will all this end? You know where it will end. If not checked soon, our current civil war will end exactly like our previous Civil War, with piles and piles of dead bodies. George Soros, the desperately old demon he is, is not running out of money anytime soon. And even when he dies, the criminal organizations he has put in place will last long after his rotting body vanishes into dust. President Trump is one of the only people in Washington to say it like it is, and because he speaks the truth in blaming both sides, he is lambasted night and day by the fake news media and the George Soros splinter groups. America stands right now at a pivotal crossroads, one from which there is no turning back. Leftist thugs cannot be allowed to tear down statues and rewrite the history of our nation. They are anarchists and must be treated as such. Over the last 100 years, we have seen Progressive uprisings in major nations like Russia, Germany and Italy just to name a few, and they always end badly. Russian Progressives created Stalin, German Progressives created Hitler, and Italian Progressives created Mussolini. The end game here in America is to topple our government and install European fascism, the exact same style fascism that groups like ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter claim to be against. Just remember, Hitler came preaching peace and prosperity. How'd that work out for the German people? The new Civil War is well underway so pick a side.

Trump nailed it again! Chaos, Created & Organized by obamites....

No Images? View Online What the President Said Is True, Whether You Like It Or Not Facebook Twitter The left is leaving no ground to compromise on this issue. They will leave no Confederate monument in the ground. And with no room to compromise I suspect they will not like it when very many Americans who may not care for the President wind up standing with him against the left. And the left can scream and cry bigotry all they want, but they will thankfully be shut out of power for another electoral cycle. American leftists have decided if you are not with them, you are evil and worth silencing. They will allow no alternative opinions and they will allow no dissent. They will not even allow people the courtesy of neutrality. So the average American will probably give them an electoral middle finger, deservedly so. Like it or not, the President made some fair and reasonable points in yesterday's press conference. That the media melted down over them says more about the press than the President and suggests the media will yet again misjudge the lay of the political landscape. Read More...

What has happened to Fox News? Why is it following the Left...?

The following was sent to Fox News from its contact place on its Website: What has happened to Fox News? Why is it following the Left in its characterization of the Charlottesville protests? Is straight news reporting finally slipping away from Fox News, as it has in most of the rest of the former media? I have heard reporting and comments on a number of programs, all condemning the White Supremacy group as terrorist group. Oh, everyone is up in arms. Even the commentators usually relied up as blasting away. But I have heard no reports or comments condemning the Opposition Group as a terrorist group. What is the Opposition Group? Who named it? Why is it not called by its real name, as the White group is called? Isn't it made up of Black Lives Matter, that so respected group? Is it not made up of other groups that have been rioting on college campuses and in the streets? Are those groups not terroristic? Are they not racist? I am not in favor of the White Supremacy group. If you erase it, that would be fine. But we have gone for many months and even years of protest from various groups on the Left and they have not been reported or commented on as terrorist groups. The White Supremacy group had permission to hold a gathering. The Left groups have never had permission to hold gatherings or protests. They just appear, hurt people, stop people from their business and burn and otherwise damage private and public buildings and property. If the Left group, as always paid, had not appeared in Charlottesville, there would have been no deaths, injuries or destruction. All of the blame cannot go to one side. So why not erase it, too? As to the spineless Republicans and other government and congressional officials and those talking asses on television programs who criticize President Donald Trump for his statement, they should be smarter, more fair and even loyal. For instance, they should respect the president for not indulging in what Barack Obama indulged in many, many times: convicting people before even a few of the facts were learned. How soon we forget. A Fox reporter even went so far as to cast doubt on the statement of the mother of the arrested driver of the car that plowed into the crowd. He said she had been interviewed by The Associated Press — that certainly unbiased news agency — and told reporters that she didn't know of the son's intentions. He said she may know more than she was admitting. And to what seer do we attribute that bit of speculation? Black Lives Matter and other Soros groups should be called out as terrorist groups and arrested in huge numbers the moment they move from free speech on sidewalks to the rioting in the streets. Then reporting would be more balanced and more acceptable. I would like for Fox to run an investigation, report how many rioting situations have gone on in the nation since the election or the first of the year or the inauguration. Estimate how much damage has been done, how many people have been injured and killed. That would be some reporting that the people of this nation could understand. Charles Rondinelli

President Trump, Not President Clinton, Will Now Deal With North Korea By Erick Erickson | Wednesday, August 9, 2017 Though the left can construct alternate realities in their minds, Hillary Clinton fan fiction, protests, and clever tweets, the reality as the sun rises this morning is that Donald Trump is President, Hillary Clinton is not, and President Trump must now deal with the failures of his predecessors. We should all also be mindful that the very rhetoric used by Bill Clinton to assure the world North Korea would never get nukes was then used by Barack Obama to assure us Iran would never get nukes. President Trump, in dealing with the messes of his predecessors regarding North Korea, should take a very hard look at the Iranian deal lest a future President have to play clean up there. In the meantime, all of us should be in prayer for our President. Read More...

America Should Not Cheer on an India-China Fight by Lyle J. Goldstein

Playing geopolitics in South and Central Asia can have disastrous consequences for U.S. national security. Read it here.

Iran and Al Qaeda Exploit Syria Ceasefire By Genevieve Casagrande Key Takeaway: The U.S., Russia, Jordan "de-escalation zone" in Southwest Syria advances the interests of U.S. enemies and adversaries, including Iran and al Qaeda. The U.S. likely sought to leverage the agreement to drive a wedge within the Russo-Iranian Coalition, while reducing violence and testing a potential partnership with Russia to improve security in Syria. The deal has temporarily reduced violence, but at great cost to long-term U.S. interests in Syria. The Russo-Iranian coalition is exploiting the agreement to consolidate in the south. Al Qaeda will likewise leverage the deal and the recent cut to U.S. support to vetted Syrian opposition groups to preserve and expand its influence in Southern Syria. The de-escalation zone brokered by the U.S., Russia, and Jordan does not meaningfully constrain Iranian build up in Southern Syria and along the Golan Heights. The deal is rumored to include an "exclusionary zone" that requires Iranian and other non-Syrian forces to maintain a 30-40 KM distance from the Jordanian border. Iran and Hezbollah flaunted a large re-deployment away from frontlines in Dera'a City immediately after the de-escalation zone went into effect on July 9 in order to falsely demonstrate Iranian commitment to such an exclusionary zone to the United States. Most of the pro-Iranian forces relocated to areas just outside the exclusionary zone - including in the town of Sanamayn located approximately 50 KM from the Jordanian border - and to areas just outside Dera'a City, such as Athman. Hezbollah and other pro-Iranian forces retained many of their longstanding positionswithin the de-escalation zone and likely maintain some latent forces within Dera'a City, itself. Notably, the deal did not affect the historic pro-Iranian build up on the Golan Heights, a concern voiced by Israel in the weeks following the ceasefire. Iranian and pro-regime capabilities in the south remain largely unchanged. These local re-deployments and troop rotations still allow for Iran to quickly re-deploy to frontlines against anti-Assad forces as necessary. The de-escalation zone agreement secures the freedom of movement of Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime at the expense of U.S. partners. The deal has allowed Iran to temporarily shift assets away from previously contested frontlines like Dera'a City to reinforce other active fronts against the U.S. and partnered forces. Pro-Iranian and regime forces with Russian air supportlaunched operations against historically U.S.-backed opposition groups in Northern Suwayda and Eastern Rif Dimashq Provinces following the start of the ceasefire. The deal has freed up the pro-Assad coalition to continue to further project force into Eastern Syria. Pro-regime forces backed by Russia and Iran advanced to the outskirts of Sukhna along the ground line of communication (GLOC) between Palmyra and Deir ez Zour City on July 28. Iran, Assad, and Russia seek to reopen this GLOC to besieged regime-held areas of Deir ez Zour. These advances would ultimately constrain the freedom of action of the U.S.-led Anti-ISIS coalition in Eastern Syria and could block further advances by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) along the Euphrates River Valley. Russian build up along the frontline stands to deepen the Russo-Iranian coalition's penetration in Southern Syria. The deal lacks a legitimate, neutral enforcement mechanism and primarily relies upon Russian, Chechen, and Ingush forces to guarantee the agreement along the line of contact between regime and opposition forces. Russia cannot and will not restrain Iran and Assad. Russia deployed hundreds of military police including Ingush units to man observation points along the line of contact. The Russian force is positioned to protect -- not push back -- Iranian positions within this zone. The ceasefire deal allows al Qaeda to preserve its strength and expand its influence in Southern Syria. Al Qaeda had begun to reinvigorate its campaign to transform the Syrian opposition in its own image prior to the declaration of the de-escalation zone. Al Qaeda dispatched approximately thirtysenior officials to Southern Syria in May 2017. Al Qaeda likely seeks to replicate its recent success in Idlib Province in the South. The ceasefire deal will provide Al Qaeda with time and space to further network itself within the opposition, including through local governance and security structures. U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to halt some covert support to vetted opposition groups in Western Syria will only accelerate al Qaeda's potential rise in the south. Syrian rebels have expressed dissatisfaction over U.S. demands to abandon the fight against President Assad and decreased U.S. support to rebels. Al Qaeda will exploit these grievances and attempt to fill the vacuum. Al Qaeda will position itself to eventually spoil the agreement, but will do so in a timeframe that supports its own interests.

July 31, 2017 Politics gone crazy: 21st century Nero fiddles as 'Rome burns'? WES VERNON — America needs to get its priorities straight. Picture this nightmare: Ex-President Barack Obama did (and out-of-office continues to) do his best to bring down America. Unlike other ex-presidents who had the courtesy to go home after their time in office was at an end and get out of their successor's way, Mr. Obama moved himself and his family into a mansion in a toney neighborhood in Washington, D.C. where he -- not satisfied with the damage he inflicted during the eight years the voters entrusted him the highest honor America can offer -- is now well-situated to undermine President Trump. He's like the rude house guest who never goes home.... (more)

UNREAL: Emails Leaked From Lynch Clinton Tarmac Meeting…Read This Before Its DELETED

CONSERVATIVE HEADLINES POLITICS UNREAL: Emails Leaked From Lynch Clinton Tarmac Meeting…Read This Before Its DELETED Posted on August 4, 2017 by Doyle Alexander Tarmac Newly released documents obtained by the American Center for Law and Justice show that members of the mainstream media are knowingly colluding with Hillary’s campaign. Watch the infamous moment below at the :30 sec mark. The Justice Department colluded with Washington Post and the New York Times to “tamp-down” stories relating to the Attorney General’s infamous meeting with Bill Clinton,” according to this shocking report. You can read that here. Comey’s FBI lied to us. The ACLJ submitted FOIA requests to Comey’s FBI and the Lynch DOJ about the Clinton Lynch plane meeting. James Comey was the head of the FBI at the time. The response they got was “No records responsive to your request were located.” Here’s what Varney and Co had to say about the story. Stuart Varney said on Fox the following: Liz McDonald: “I am hoping I can put it to rest. The New York Times reporter apologetically says he is being pressed into service to cover the story… A DOJ press official says, “I talked with the ABC producer he said he’s not interested in covering it even if FOX goes with it.” Stuart Varney: “This is collusion between reporters, specifically the Washington Post, and the Department of Justice.”

The real Russia-gate scandal...

The real Russia-gate scandal CLIFF KINCAID — In the time period of 2007-2008, two journalists – Trevor Loudon, a blogger from New Zealand, and America's Survival President Cliff Kincaid – tried to interest the public and the media in what they considered the story of their lifetimes. It was how a first-term largely unknown Senator from Illinois was a covert communist with backing from Russia who was poised to win the presidency of the United States. But the "fake news media" were not interested in the facts about then-Senator Obama, or the security risk he posed that would polarize and destabilize a nation -- and they covered up the story of Obama's communist mentor, suspected Soviet espionage agent Frank Marshall Davis. Here, for the first time in print, is how Loudon and Kincaid unraveled the story of America's first Marxist President. Kincaid says, "The smoking gun evidence of Barack Hussein Obama's deep personal relationship with suspected Soviet espionage agent and Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis is the real Russia-gate scandal."...

In fact, the latest DNC email released by WikiLeaks was dated May 18, 2016 – just weeks before Rich was shot twice in the back with a handgun. “There are no DNC or Podesta emails that exist beyond May 21 or 22, last email from either one of those groups. What the report says is that some time in late spring … he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer,” Hersh says in audio almost certainly recorded by financier Ed Butowsky, who hired private investigator Rod Wheeler to investigate the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich last July.

Sharia USA: Court Rules Residents Can’t Mention “Islam” or “Muslim” At Public Hearing By Pamela Geller

Sharia USA: Court Rules Residents Can’t Mention “Islam” or “Muslim” At Public Hearing By Pamela Geller - on August 1, 2017 SHARIA IN AMERICA This is sharia. This is a blasphemy ruling. Sharia commands Islamic supremacism, Muslims as a special class, and it’s here. Sharia commands restrictions on speech concerning Islam. It’s not a rumor, a maybe-what-if, it’s here. Court: Residents Can’t Mention “Islam” or “Muslim” At Public Hearing on Mosque Construction; Thomas More Law Center Files Federal Lawsuit ANN ARBOR, MI – In a settlement agreement, which reads more like an instrument of surrender, Bernards Township (“Township”), New Jersey officials agreed that, in addition to a $3.5 million payment to Islamic Society of Basking Ridge (“ISBR”), residents and citizens of the Township are prohibited from commenting on “Islam” or “Muslims” at the upcoming public hearing to approve the settlement. Astonishingly, a federal judge approved the prohibition as a fully enforceable Order of the Court. As a result of this suppression of speech, the Thomas More Law Center (“TMLC”), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, yesterday, filed a lawsuit in the New Jersey Federal District Court on behalf of Christopher and Loretta Quick. The lawsuit was filed by TMLC affiliated New Jersey attorney, Michael Hrycak. Mr. Hrycak was assisted by TMLC staff attorney, Tyler Brooks. The TMLC is representing the Quicks without charge. TMLC’s lawsuit alleges that Bernards Township’s settlement agreement constitutes a prior restraint on speech based on content, as well as, a violation of the Establishment Clause because it prefers Islam over other religions. The lawsuit asks the court to: declare that the settlement agreement is unconstitutional; and to enter a preliminary and permanent injunction against its enforcement. Read TMLC’s entire Federal Complaint here. The Quicks reside within 200 feet of the proposed mosque construction in a zoned residential area. Yet, the settlement agreement prohibits them from describing the many unique features of Islamic worship which will impact design of the building, traffic density, water and sewage, traffic control problems, road construction, and parking arrangements. According to the settlement agreement, ISBR is permitted to make statements concerning Christians and Jews and their places of worship, but in contrast, the Agreement prohibits commentary relating to Islam or Muslims. In fact, ISBR has previously discussed the Christian and Jewish religions and their places of worship. Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented: “As we have previously documented, ISBR has taken the extraordinary step of concealing significant links on their website to a radical group named by the federal government as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in America history, the Islamic Society of North America (“ISNA”). ISNA is claimed by the Muslim Brotherhood as one of “our organizations.” According to internal documents seized by the FBI, the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy is to engage in a “grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within . . .” Thompson continued, “While claiming that the Township had a religious animus against Muslims, ISBR hid from the public view its animus toward Christians and Jews, by not only hiding anti-Christian and anti-Semitic verses published on its website, but also hiding its significant ties to ISNA. Instead of standing up to defend its citizens against ISBR’s hate-filled anti-Semitic and anti-Christian bias, the Township colluded with ISBR’s “Civilization Jihad” by capitulating to payment of millions of dollars to ISBR, allowing the construction of the new mosque and Islamic center in violation of zoning codes, and now even suppressing speech concerning Islam or Muslims at a public meeting.” In March 2016, ISBR filed a lawsuit in the New Jersey Federal District Court alleging that Bernards Township had discriminated against the Islamic Society when it declined to approve the construction of a large mosque on a lot that was far too small to handle the contemplated structure. And in November 2016, the United States represented by the U. S. Justice Department filed a second lawsuit against the Township on similar grounds. The settlement agreement covers both lawsuits.

Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes:

Dear Grand-daughter, The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker . I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lot of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!' 'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!! A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!! Will write again soon, Love, Grandma
