U.S. Imposes New Sanctions on Iran After Prisoner Exchange
Less than 24 hours after lifting sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program, the Obama administration announced Sunday that it was imposing new sanctions on Iran for violating United Nations resolutions against ballistic missile tests.
The announcement was made shortly after a Swiss plane carrying Americans freed by the Iranian authorities departed Tehran.
Administration officials denied that the missile sanctions were being delayed for political reasons.

Russia's Buildup Of S-400 Missile Batteries In Kaliningrad Is Freaking Out NATO
The same air defense system that has seemingly kept coalition fighters out of western Syria is now being installed in the heart of Europe, at Russias Baltic Sea enclave of Kaliningrad. Russias setting up surface-to-air missile systems in their territory is nothing new, but the S-400's long-range and effectiveness is.
It has the ability threaten enemy aircraft within a 250 mile radius of its location.
Russias only aircraft carrier is a floating hell for the crew
The Kuznetsov in its natural habitat: drydock
Built in 1985, the Kuznetsov, a 55,000-ton behemoth, is a veteran of a full four deployments and the Russian Navys flagship. Its powered by diesel fuel generators. Serving on the ship is akin to punishment for Russian sailors, who coined the phrase, If you misbehave, youll be sent to the Kuznetsov.
Most telling are the deepwater tugboats that deploy with the Kuznetsov because the Russian Navy knows the carriers defective engines will break down at some point. The fuel and engine issues give the ship a maximum endurance of 45 days.
To further the discomfort, the cafeteria on board the carrier seats 150 people, for a crew of almost 2,000.
There are 25 operational latrines for 2,000 crewmen. The Russian sailors say theyre in formation ten times a day, for 35 minutes each time. Thats almost six hours of formation every day.

Michelle Obamas of the playground!
Hearing phrases like youre out! is hurting kids.
It brings to mind Mark Twain's maxim that "work consists of whatever a body is obliged tto do and play is whatever a body is not obliged to do."
Over-regulated, authoritarian playground activities will give kids excellent preparation for life in post-Obama America!

Pearls of Wisdom
Thanks, Marty
1. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble,
But it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.
2. Why is a car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small?
Because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on.
3. Friendship is like a book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.
4. All things in life are temporary. If its going well, enjoy it, that won't last long.
If its going badly, don't worry, that won't last long either.
5. Old friends are gold! New friends are diamond! If you get a diamond, don't forget the gold!
Because to hold a diamond, you always need a base of gold!
6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says,
"Relax, it's just a bend, not the end!"
7. When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities;
When God doesn't solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities.
8. A blind person asked St. Anthony, "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?"
He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!"
9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them;
And when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.
10. Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace.
Terrorist Cell groups in Churches.
Thanks, REM
Latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating in many of our churches.
They have been identified as: Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin, and Bin Missin. Their leader, Osama Bin Lucifer, trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and to work within the church to discourage, disrupt, and destroy.
