Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
Unfortunately when the wider U.S. electorate voted the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers to be the president of the United States they were, perhaps unwittingly, ushering in a new era of fundamental change, governmental weaponization.
Events and outcomes ceased to be determined by laws, and the politics of any given event became the overriding filter through which all action, or lack thereof, would be determined. The last seven years have provided numerous examples for points of reference.
The IRS investigation of conservative groups was driven by politics, not legality. The investigation of officer Darren Wilson was driven by politics, not evidence or legality. The arrests of the Baltimore Six were driven by politics, not factual, substantial evidence. The FBI decision not to recommend an indictment of Hillary Clinton was driven by politics not evidence.
These are just a few examples of manipulated common law principles that have been overridden by considerations of political benefits. The law is what they say it is, and everything is open to interpretation. The rules are what they say they are, and subject to change at any opportune moment.
2016 is an election year.
Last night an officer involved shooting of an armed habitual offender led to riots, looting, arson and violence in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Nothing cries out for justice like a stolen set of hair weaves. Unfortunately, Milwaukee is on the list as one the the top 10 cities with hidden racial violence and local media frozen with political correctness.
Today, fearing another night of chaos, violence and mayhem, Governor Scott Walker has activated the national guard. Fortunately, the officer involved was also black.
UPDATE: Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot armed suspect is black. More to come.

WISCONSIN – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has declared a state of emergency in Milwaukee County and has activated the National Guard in response to the Milwaukee riots last night.
The shooting of a 23-year-old ignited some tensions and led to rioting last night. One officer was hit with a brick, one squad car was trashed, and another squad car and several business were set on fire. (more…)
After a week of campaign stops with larger crowds than the Democrat presidential candidate, Governor Mike Pence was interviewed by Chris “Clinton” Wallace for Fox News Sunday:
One in five women and one in twenty men self report being childhood victims of sexual abuse. Sixty to eighty percent of the abusers are known to the child or their family. As many as half that are family members. Up to twenty percent of the abusers are females. Predators come from all walks of life, but studies overwhelmingly show they are likely to be someone you, the parents or protectors of the children, trust. We tend to think of sexual predators as a man in a trench coat who jumps out of a dark van and snatches a child away. In real life, the predator may approach a child online, they may be a teacher, a relative, a priest, pastor, youth worker, a volunteer at a church or youth facility, or a friend. They may be the parent or care giver of a friend of your child. They are likely to inspire trust, be charismatic or good with people, and probably are not at all going to be the person you expect to be a sexual predator. They can be patient, often grooming a victim over a long period of time.
The abuse may come in the form of a violent attack by a stranger, or it may be a seduction by a beloved family member. It might not even involve touch. It could come in the form of inappropriate comments, indecent exposure, or cyber stalking.
There are many variables in the who, what, when, and why when it comes to victims of childhood sexual predators, but there is one rock solid constant. All the victims will be left with devastating long term effects from the abuse. Childhood sexual abuse is associated with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, guilt and shame, eating disorders, repression or denial, sexual promiscuity, and relationship problems, in addition to physical injuries from the abuse. Physical injuries can include tearing and bleeding, sexually transmitted diseases, and even internal damage. Research has shown neurological changes related to childhood sexual abuse, changes which can alter brain development.
Jake Tapper is 2016’s version of George Stephanopoulos in 2012. Earlier in the week Tapper completely fabricated a story about the Secret Service contacting the Trump campaign. He continues today trying to manufacture controversy.
Louisiana has been experiencing historic flooding after several days of rain resulting from a stationary low pressure area. The following footage from yesterday shows a dramatic citizen rescue:
