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 †

Many people are rightly upset the FBI Director James Comey refused to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.   There are indeed ample examples of identical behavior resulting in criminal prosecutions for the same, similar, or even lesser circumstances surrounding Clinton’s behavior.
However, in everything political we all note there are, unfortunately, various quid-pro-quo arrangements based on leverage.  Knowing the system is rigged in that regard doesn’t make anything more acceptable, but it does aid the understanding.

If we think back to the Orlando Terrorist Massacre, one of the intentionally avoided aspects generally hidden by the national MSM surrounded the tips, warning flags, specific warnings sent to the FBI about the possible terror threat from Omar Mateen.
The media portrayed the warnings as stemming from Mateen’s “coworkers“, but we revealed the “coworkers” were actually Sheriff’s Officers.
It was law enforcement, all the way up to the County Sheriff, working at the federal courthouse who told the FBI that Omar Mateen was sketchy, not ordinary citizens or simply “coworkers”. (more…)

Cold Anger perceives deception the way a long-term battered spouse absorbs the blows in the hours prior to the pre-planned exit; with purpose.  Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently. Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful….

(Via Facebook) Ironic, tragic, but not unexpected – amidst America’s Independence Day celebrations the Ruling Class put another boot on our neck to snuff liberty’s life out of We the People.
It’s a farce that “no one is above the law” and my heart goes out to all who’ve been unjustly accused and destroyed over much lesser crimes than Hillary’s.
We MUST redouble efforts to restore the rule of law that had sustained the most exceptional nation on earth, with everyone doing their part:

FBI Director James Comey said at a press conference that Hillary Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless” in their email handling of classified information. He said 110 emails sent or received on Clinton’s server contained classified information.

FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday that he will not recommend criminal charges against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in relation to her use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State.
“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is information that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

Remember all of the media coverage about a bakery refusing to cater a Gay Wedding Cake. The national headlines, lawsuits, 24/7 stories of intolerance etc?  Well, as you review this recent story (happened yesterday) think about how tolerance is defined and applied.
A young man in San Francisco went into a local T-Shirt Shop, Bang-On T-Shirts LLC, to purchase a custom Trump Tee. The retail company staff made the shirt, but added a rather inappropriate surprise the customer discovered when he arrived home.

The website Regated has the full story – Including an Interview – which describes the entire incident:

A younger Trump supporter walked into the ‘Bang  On T-Shirts’ store in San Francisco earlier today to get a custom-embroidered shirt.
Although getting dirty looks and a few snide questions when explaining the logo of the shirt, it came out fine — however, after returning to his hotel, he noticed a big problem.
