Things in the Middle East never stay quiet for very long. In the past year the following important events have taken place in the region:

1. Moving America’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Israel

2. The murder of Jamal Khashoggi in Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Turkey

3. President Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory

4. The withdrawal of the United States from the 2015 nuclear agreement President Obama had made with Iran

5. The escalation of the war between Saudi Arabia and Iran’s proxies, the Houthis, in Yemen

6. Israel trading rocket attacks with Syria and Hamas in the Gaza Strip

7. Iran’s expansion of military assets in Syria and for all practical purposes, the takeover of Iraq

The latest salvo in the escalation of tensions is the attack on two Saudi oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, one of which was about to leave for the U.S. Saudi government officials declined to give many details about the attack, only stating that although “significant damage” to the tankers occurred during the attack, no oil leaked or spilled out of the tankers (Associated Press, Saudi Arabia Says 2 Oil Tankers Damaged By Sabotage Attacks,” May 13, Fox News, https://www.foxnews.com/world/saudi-arabia-says-2-oil-tankers-damaged-by-sabotage-attacks, accessed June 10, 2019).

The Trump administration had warned its allies in the Middle East for several months of increased threats by Iran, prompting it to dispatch the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the region. The Trump administration has refused so far to specify the reasons for warning of an escalation of tensions and threats by Iran but Middle East experts suspect that Iran was behind the attacks on the Saudi tankers (though Iran denies this).

Saudi Arabia was already deeply concerned about the Houthis’ control of Yemen and using Yemen to launch rocket attacks into their country from their southern border. The Houthis are Iranian proxies and are used by Iran to create havoc and chaos within Saudi Arabia. Iran also moves freely through Iraq and has built military installations in Syria, which Israel bombs from time to time.

Iran is trying to surround Saudi Arabia. The Iranians would love nothing more than to topple the Saudi royal family and replace them with a puppet regime as they did in Yemen. The Saudis recognize this, and this is why they respond to the rocket attacks from the Houthis by sending their warplanes to bomb Yemen, although this usually results in the killing of innocent Yemeni men, women, and children. The U.N. has no problem with promptly condemning Saudi Arabia for bombing Yemen and blames the Saudis for the suffering and humanitarian crisis in that country and the U.S. as well since our country supports the Saudis in this conflict. However, the U.N. is silent about the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia, refusing to hold either the Houthis or Iran accountable for their responsibility for the situation in Yemen.

Although it is clear that President Trump and his administration are aware of these moves by Iran, which is probably one of the reasons for their warnings to our Middle East allies, it doesn’t help Saudi Arabia very much. Very few countries will now come to the Saudis’ defense. Their murder of Jamal Khashoggi has not helped their image around the world. The Saudi royal family is not popular with their citizens and because of the unrest in their country, the royal family felt that Khashoggi’s criticism of them, which was well known, posed a significant threat to their rule. That’s why they murdered him.

Westerners need to take off their rose-colored glasses and be realistic about the shifting alliances in the Middle East. In the 1990’s, Turkey and Israel held joint air force military exercises together every year, but not anymore. Turkey has become a radical Islamic country, with their current President Erdogan allying himself with Iran. If Iran had murdered and dismembered anyone in their embassy in Turkey, Turkey would not only be OK with that but would defend Iran and come up with the most implausible scenarios to explain what had happened. Turkey doesn’t care that Khashoggi was murdered. They just care that Saudi Arabia did it.

Westerners must also realize that Russia is supporting Iran and the development of their nuclear weapons program. If anyone thinks Iran wants to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes, they need to have their head examined. Iran’s leaders continue to threaten to destroy Israel and the U.S. almost every day. If Iran ever successfully develops a nuclear weapons program, it won’t hesitate to use nuclear weapons against Israel.

This situation has created some strange bedfellows in the Middle East. Although the Saudis have officially denied any contacts with Israel, official or unofficial, leaks continue to surface about cooperation between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis may not like the Israelis very much – I promise you they are still teaching children in Saudi schools that Jews are descended from apes and pigs – but they know as long as they don’t directly attack Israel, Israel will leave them alone. The Saudis know that Israel is committed to protecting not only their own country but the peace and stability of the entire Middle East. They know that Israel will never use their nuclear weapons unless they forced to do so and there is no other alternative while the Iranians won’t bat an eye about using nukes. A nuclear attack on Israel by Iran will directly affect Saudi Arabia as well as every other country in the Middle East, and that is not something the Saudi royal family can allow.

American congressmen who have condemned any new weapons sales to the Saudis because of the Khashoggi murder are playing into the hands of the Iranians. Yes, the Saudi royal family is not the greatest (I realize this is an understatement!), but if the Saudi royal family is successfully toppled by a coup and replaced by an Iranian regime, the situation in the Middle East will be a hundred times worse. As bad as the Saudi royal family is, the alternative is unthinkable. Unless, of course, the United States sent troops into Saudi Arabia to prop up their government, and I don’t think any American, even our military, would support that.

We also have to remember that many of the current tensions in the Middle East are the result of how the allies after World War I carved up the Middle East, creating new countries and installing regimes and rulers for those countries without consulting the peoples in the region what they wanted. The world is now experiencing the bitter fruits of the seeds planted one hundred years ago by people who are now dead and cannot be held to account for their arbitrary decisions.

No one wants another major war in the Middle East, me most of all. However, only the Lord knows the future, and it is possible that we are currently seeing the setting of the stage for another major war in the Middle East, perhaps one of the wars that Bill Salus points to in Psalm 83, or even the war of Ezekiel 38-39. While I am thankful the United States has in President Trump the best friend that Israel and the Jews has ever had in American history, we also must recognize that the Bible predicted over two thousand years ago the time when the whole world would viciously turn against Israel and the Jews. Let us be ever vigilant in our support of Israel and the Jews as we and they face an increasingly perilous and dangerous world in these last days.

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. – Zechariah 12:2-3

We are now in June, 2019. This month is generally recognized as the beginning of the primary season for the 2020 presidential election. Because of this I am bringing two Front Line articles on the topic, “Why I am working to reelect Donald Trump.” This is the second of those articles. It is my hope that these two articles will encourage you, not only to vote for Donald Trump’s reelection, but also to give and work for his reelection as well.

Although, at present, there is a crowded field of over 20 Democrat presidential candidates, with former Vice-President Joe Biden as the clear front runner. Quoting from the May 29, 2019 edition of The Hill, in an article entitled, “Poll: Biden has 18-point lead on Democratic field, Sanders only contender in double digits.”

“Former Vice President Joe Biden leads his nearest primary contender by 18 points, further solidifying his status as the crowded field’s front-runner . . . A Morning Consult poll shows Biden with the support of 38 percent of Democratic primary votes, beating out Sen. Bernie Sanders(I-Vt.) his nearest competitor, who was supported by 20 percent of the respondents. Biden and Sanders are the only two candidates who had support in the double-digits.”

Since Biden is the presumed Democrat candidate at this point, let’s consider some things about Biden’s over 40 years in public office. The first remarkable thing I notice about Biden’s 36 years in the Senate and 8 years in the White House, is how thoroughly unremarkable are his accomplishments. There is not a single piece of legislation that has his name on it.

Biden is also known for his remarkable flip-flops. In 1996, he voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, affirming heterosexual marriage. Yet, in 2011-2012, he was the earliest Obama official to openly support homosexual marriage.

He also supported the Iraq war in 2003, while he was the chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Committee. When he ran on the Obama ticket in 2008, he was opposed to the Iraq war.

He supported the 1994 Clinton Crime bill. This anti-drug legislation resulted in long prison sentences for non-violent drug possession, disproportionately targeting African Americans. Now, he supports decriminalizing drugs. Will the real Joe Biden please stand up?

Now let’s talk about the Biden Scandals. It has recently come to light that Biden used the powers of the White House to the direct advantage of his son, Hunter. Let me explain. In 2016, Biden’s son, Hunter, was dishonorably discharged from the U.S. military for cocaine use. Within a few months, Hunter was serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, making $50,000 per month. The name of the company was Burisma Holdings, owned by Myklova Zlochevsky. Mr. Zlochevsky had served in the government of the former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovich. He fled the country not long after the collapse of Mr. Yanukovich’s government in 2014, and the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office opened multiple investigations into him and his businesses. In short, Zlochevsky was a corrupt oligarch that was being investigated by the Ukrainian government for money laundering and abuse of office.

Enter Vice-President Joe Biden, who visited the Ukraine in 2016. While in the Ukraine, Biden threatened to withhold one billion tax dollars from Ukraine unless the general prosecutor was fired. Bowing to Biden’s blackmail, the general prosecutor was fired, taking the heat off of Burisma Holdings. Hunter Biden continued to served on the board, making $50,000 per month, until earlier this year. The decision to reopen the investigation into Burisma Holdings was made in March of this year by the current Ukrainian prosecutor general, who had cleared Hunter Biden’s employer more than two years ago. Because of Biden’s blackmail, using U.S. tax dolloars, his son, Hunter, was able to clear over a million dollars as a board member of Burisma Holdings.

Another Joe Biden scandal has to do with his serial fondling and groping of women and young girls. Biden is a shameless sexual abuser, who openly fondles woman and girls, on camera. He is so notorious for his misbehavior with women, that Secret Service agents and their wives avoid him as much as possible. In the midst of the Me-Too Movement, Biden is the last person you would want occupying the oval office.

Friends, it is my frank opinion, that if Creepy Joe Biden becomes our next president, the America we know and love will be over. There will be a return to the Obama policies that practically ruined America. Plus, we will see persecution of Christians and political conservatives at an unprecedented level.

The Lord, in His mercy, has granted America a “Nineveh Moment”, a moment of mercy, for Americans to repent, return to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and time to restore the Republic to its Constitutional roots. This moment may never come again. Trump is not a perfect man, but he is our last best hope to restore America. He loves America, He is not out to get us, and he does not have to do this. I plan to give, to pray, and to work to reelect Donald J. Trump. I trust you will join me in this historic campaign.

Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who is a homosexual and running for president as a Democrat, recently announced that Thomas Jefferson’s name should be removed from all political dinners honoring him and they should be renamed because Jefferson owned slaves.

Buttigieg was doing an interview on conservative Hugh Hewitt’s show when Hewitt asked him about his position concerning renaming Jefferson-Jackson political dinners and events.

Buttigieg responded, “Yeah, we’re doing that in Indiana. I think it’s the right thing to do. Over time, you develop and evolve on the things you choose to honor . . . Jefferson is more problematic [than Jackson]. There’s a lot, of course, to admire in his thinking and his philosophy, but then again if you plunge into his writings, especially the notes on the state of Virginia, you know that he knew slavery was wrong” (Cameron Cawthorne, “Buttigieg on Renaming Things Named After Thomas Jefferson: ‘It’s the Right Thing to Do,” Washington Free Beacon, May 17, 2019, https://freebeacon.com/politics/buttigieg-on-renaming-things-named-after-thomas-jefferson-its-the-right-thing-to-do/, accessed May 23, 2019).

Buttigieg’s position in the Democrat Party is not new. For at least the last five years, Democrats have supported the removal, not only of names of Founding Fathers from monuments, streets, and schools but also the removal of statues honoring Americans throughout our history, both good and bad.

Should Jefferson’s name be removed from any or all events and entities bearing his name?

I think it’s important to point out some things about Thomas Jefferson that the vast majority of Americans do not know.

Thomas Jefferson was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1769. His first official act as a legislator was to present a bill allowing slave owners to free their slaves (Allison, Cook, Maxfield, Skousen, The Real Thomas Jefferson, The National Center for Constitutional Studies, 1983, pg. 46). This was seven years before Jefferson would write the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson writes about what happened to his attempt to end slavery in Virginia in his autobiography:

“In 1769 I became a member of the legislature by the choice of the county in which I live, and so continued until it was closed by the Revolution. I made one effort in that body for the permission of the emancipation of slaves, which was rejected; and indeed during the regal government nothing liberal could expect success.”

The “regal government” Jefferson writes about is the government of England’s King George III. Some Americans had been agitating for years to end slavery in their colonies, most notably Pennsylvania. But England had a vested interest in not allowing its American colonies to end slavery. England’s slave trade was extremely lucrative for the government and many private citizens who benefited from it, including the owners of the slave ships and their crews, and plantation owners who acquired vast fortunes on the backs of slave labor. For instance, according to The Abolition Project website, Great Britain’s sugar plantations in the West Indies, with which they staffed with African slaves, “were Britain’s most valuable colonies. By the end of the eighteenth century, four million pounds came into Britain from its West Indian plantations, compared with one million from the rest of the world” (“British Involvement in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, “ The Abolition Project, http://abolition.e2bn.org/slavery_45.html, accessed May 23, 2019).

The Abolition Project continues that from “1750 and 1780, about 70% of the government’s total income came from taxes on goods from its colonies. The money made on the Transatlantic Slave Trade triangle was vast and poured into Britain and other European countries involved in slavery, changing their landscapes forever. In Britain, those who had made much of their wealth from the trade built fine mansions, established banks such as the Bank of England and funded new industries.”

It’s important to note that most of the slaves were never transported into England itself – just into its colonies, which included the American colonies. As long as England was involved in profiting from the slave trade, it could never allow any American colony to outlaw slavery.

You may not also know that when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson included charges against King George III for slavery that were deleted before the final draft. In these slavery charges, Jefferson described slavery as a “cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him . . . Determined to keep open a market where Men should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable commerce.”

Jefferson also brought the indictment against England for offering black American slaves their freedom if they would join the Tories and fight against the American colonists after they had taken them forcibly from their homes in Africa and sold them into slavery! “And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he has obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed again the Liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.”

This entire passage was removed because some of the Southern colonies, who were heavily invested in slavery, objected. In order to get the Declaration passed among the delegates, that passage had to be removed.

You might say, “Well, that’s all fine and good. But Jefferson didn’t free his slaves upon his death while George Washington did.”

George Washington died in 1799, Jefferson died in 1826. In between that time, Virginia still allowed slave owners to free their slaves but Virginia changed the laws and made it more expensive to free slaves. Jefferson was what we would describe today as “land rich, cash poor.” He was deeply in debt and could not afford to free his slaves, which giving his strong stance against slavery, I’m sure he very much wanted to do. Jefferson loved books and wine and had expensive tastes, which probably contributed to his huge debt and which we can all debate and discuss in 2019. But it doesn’t change the fact that Jefferson could not financially afford to free his slaves, either in life or death.

The slaves Jefferson acquired throughout his life have also been an issue. Jefferson actually inherited most of his slaves when he was 14 years old upon his father’s death and also through his father-in-law.

At this point, someone will probably raise the old canard of Jefferson having an affair with Sally Hemmings and fathering at least some of her children. David Barton in his book, The Jefferson Lies, refutes this.

In 1998, the American journal Science released the results of a DNA test that supposedly proved conclusively that Thomas Jefferson had indeed fathered the children of one of his slaves, Sally Hemmings. This report was trumpeted around the world and was headline news in the United States for weeks on end.

What was little reported on was the update that came eight weeks later. The researcher who wrote the report quietly renounced it, stating that the DNA test and subsequent research did not prove that Thomas Jefferson fathered any of Sally Hemmings’ children. Hemmings’ had named one of her children Thomas which many throughout history pointed to Jefferson as the father. But the report stated emphatically that the DNA test proved that Thomas Jefferson was not the father of Thomas Woodson (David Barton, The Jefferson Lies, 2012, pg. 8). All the participants had to admit that NO DNA sample from Thomas Jefferson had been used in the test.

In order to do a DNA test of this type, researchers would have needed a sample from a male descendent of Jefferson’s since the Y chromosome never changes throughout generations. Since Thomas Jefferson had no male descendants – his only son died shortly after birth – the researchers had to use a DNA sample from Thomas Jefferson’s uncle. Because the same DNA showed up in the descendants of Eston Woodson, Sally Hemmings’ youngest child, the researches could only determine that someone in the Jefferson family had fathered at least one, or maybe more, of Hemmings’ children.

But since there were twenty-six Jefferson males alive at that period of history and living in that same area of Virginia, which Jefferson could have fathered Hemmings’ children?

The researchers narrowed the field down to ten Jefferson men that could have logically been the father of Hemming’s children. After citing numerous analyses of the data available, Barton leans toward the conclusion of Hebert Barger, a genealogist and Jefferson historian that the most likely candidate is Thomas Jefferson’s brother, Randolph.

The names of several of Hemmings’ children – Harriet, Beverly, and Eston – are the same names of Randolph Jefferson’s children. Randolph was a frequent visitor at Monticello, the visits sometimes lasting long periods of time. One of the slaves at Monticello reported that Randolph Jefferson would often visit the slave quarters and “play the fiddle and dance half the night” with the slaves (David Barton, The Jefferson Lies, 2012, pg. 11). Barton quotes a lengthy report from the researchers that no reports exist of Thomas Jefferson spending any time at all at the slave quarters. Randolph Jefferson was also a widower, and Barton cites a report from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation that Randolph could have conceived some of Hemming’s children between the period from the death of his first wife and subsequent remarriage.

To go into all the details of the evidence Barton and others present is beyond the scope of this article. For those who wish to read the entire account of all the evidence Barton presents clearing Jefferson of any possible sexual relationship with Sally Hemmings, I urge you to read his excellent book, The Jefferson Lies, still available on Amazon.

The last issue is that Jefferson believed in the separation of church and state.

The phrase, “separation of church and state,” was taken from a private letter Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Church after he had become president. The church was concerned that their religious liberty would be violated under a Jefferson administration, and Jefferson wrote the letter to the church to assure them this would not happen.

In fact, when Jefferson was president, he would attend church services held in the Capitol building, either riding his horse or walking, every Sunday he was in Washington, D.C. Even more astounding, Jefferson actually gave the official Senate approval of allowing the Capitol building to be used to hold church services when he was President of the Senate (his being John Adams’ vice president and after Jefferson had already been elected president) (David Barton, “Church in the U.S. Capitol,” Wallbuilders,. https://wallbuilders.com/church-u-s-capitol/, accessed May 24, 2019). Even in 1867, church services were still held in the Capitol building.

If Jefferson truly believed in “the separation of church and state” as it is interpreted by current American courts, judges, and justices, Jefferson would never have allowed church services to be held in any United States federal government building.

Jefferson and his colleague Benjamin Franklin were tasked by the Continental Congress in July 1776 to design a seal for the new country, the United States of America. Jefferson and Franklin recommended a scene from the Bible depicting the Israelites in the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt with the pillar of fire that led them by night and the cloud during the day. If Jefferson did not think a secular government should promote any religion, in this case obviously Christianity, then Jefferson would not have approved the idea for the seal.

Barton again lays out the evidence that Jefferson was far from the irreligious deist modern historians have made him out to be. I quote from The Jefferson Lies, page 131:

In 1779 Jefferson became the governor of Virginia and introduced several bills into the state legislature, including:

1. A Bill for Punishing Disturbers of Religious Worship and Sabbath Breakers

2. A Bill for Appointing Days of Public Fasting and Thanksgiving

3. A Bill Annulling Marriages Prohibited by the Levitical Law and Appointing the Mode of Solemnizing Lawful Marriage

4. A Bill for Saving the Property of the Church Heretofore by Law Established

Jefferson personally penned the language for each proposal, and there was no hint of public secularism in any of them; instead, it was just the opposite. For example, Jefferson’s bill for preserving the Sabbath stipulated:

If any person on Sunday shall himself be found laboring at his own or any other trade or calling . . . except that it be in the ordinary household offices of daily necessity or other work of necessary or charity, he shall forfeit the sum of ten shillings for every such offense.

On page 132, Barton reveals that in 1780 Jefferson “ordered that an official state medal be created with the religious motto ‘Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.’”

The following are just some of the actions Jefferson took as president:

5. Dedicated federal lands so that missionaries could teach and preach the Gospel to Indians

6. Directed federal funds for the establishment of a Christian school for Cherokee Indians in Tennessee

7. Dedicated federal funds for Christian missionaries and a church with the Kaskaskia Indians

8. Deleting a clause in the 1797 U.S. treaty with Tripoli that “the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion” (The Jefferson Lies, pg. 135-136).

Can you image what the response would be of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, or any Democrat today if any Republican president did or tried to do even one of things Jefferson did? Apoplectic doesn’t even begin to describe the outrage; the Democrats would explode!

Some of the confusion with Jefferson’s views on Christianity comes from his opinion that no government should coerce its citizens to follow a particular religion or any religion at all. The choice should always be theirs.

I am also including some, and by no means all, quotes by Jefferson on Christianity and religion.

9. “Adore God; reverence and cherish your parents; love your neighbor as yourself, and your country more than life. Be just; be true; murmur not at the ways of Providence” – A letter in 1824 to newborn Thomas Jefferson Grotjan, named after Jefferson by his parents and named the former president the child’s godfather ((David Barton, “Advice from Thomas Jefferson,” Wallbuilders, https://wallbuilders.com/advice-from-thomas-jefferson-adore-god/, accessed May 26, 2019).
10. “[W]e are already about the 7^th of the Christian nations in population” – An 1801 letter to U.S. Senator Gouverneur Morris stating that the United States of America is indeed a Christian nation, contradicting President Barack Obama (David Barton, The Jefferson Lies, pg. 135).
11. “Sir, no nation has ever yet existed or been governed without religion. Nor can be. The Christian religion is the best religion that has been given to man, and I as chief magistrate of this nation am bound to give it the sanction of my example” – Handwritten manuscript by Reverend Ethan Allen, (The Jefferson Monticello Foundation, https://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/no-nation-has-ever-yet-existed-or-been-governed-without, accessed May 26, 2019).
12. “[T]he power of appointing Days of Public Fasting and Thanksgiving may be exercised by the Governor . . . Every minister of the Gospel shall, on each day so to be appointed, attend and perform Divine service and preach a sermon or discourse suited to the occasion in his church, on pain of forfeiting fifty pounds for every failure, not having a reasonable excuse” (“A Bill for Appointing Days of Public Fasting and Thanksgiving,” The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, ed. Boyd, 2:556).
13. “Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference!” (Notes on the State of Virginia, The Jefferson Hour, https://jeffersonhour.com/blog/1249wwtjd, accessed May 26, 2019).

Pete Buttigieg is not worthy to lick the dust off of Thomas Jefferson’s boots.

By Carol Rushton

In June 1939, on the eve of World War II, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes of England visited the United States at the invitation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was the first time any reigning member of the British royal family had dared to even think about making an appearance in their former rebellious colonies since 1776. Historic doesn’t even being to describe the visit.

Kate Smith was already by a legend by this time, in part because of the song she made famous – “God Bless America” – one of the most patriotic songs ever written, eventually recorded by hundreds of artists and performed at countless sport events and July 4th celebrations. President Roosevelt introduced her to the King and Queen of England as simply, “This is Kate Smith. Miss Smith is America.”

The recent brouhaha that has erupted over Kate Smith singing a few songs now considered racist, one of which that was meant to be satire and was also sung by Paul Robeson – a black man – HELLO – has to be one of the most insane things that I have witnessed recently, and I have witnessed a lot of insane things occurring in this country and the world over the last several months.

The mass hysteria over songs Smith sang years ago reached such outrageous proportions that the NHL Philadelphia Flyers covered Smith’s statue with a black cloth and then unceremoniously removed it entirely. Paul Robeson, who despite being a mouthpiece for the former Soviet Union, has been honored with numerous monuments in the United States, including a statue, a park, and a center on the campus of Rutgers University. Are those going to be removed because Robeson sang the same song Kate Smith did? Are we going to ban “God Bless America” from our airwaves and public events, no matter who sings it?

Just a few days ago, hundreds of Christians were murdered in Sri Lanka by ISIS terrorists for having the temerity to worship and celebrate Jesus Christ, their Risen Savior. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton couldn’t bring themselves to call them Christians – no, they were described as “Easter worshippers.” But a long-forgotten song that Kate Smith sang almost 100 years ago is what is supposed to be important, what we need to be obsessed over to the point where we need to ban, expel, and erase Smith from our culture and society??!!!

I will give you a real racist: Margaret Sanger, the founder of the organization now known as Planned Parenthood, one of the largest if not the largest abortion provider in the United States.

Abortions are responsible for the deaths of more black Americans than any other reason in the U.S. That is not according to me, that is according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As reported by Rebecca Hagelin and TooManyAborted.com, “Abortion is the number one killer of black lives in the United States. More than HIV. More than heart disease. More than cancer. Abortion snuffs out more black lives than all other causes of death combined” (Rebecca Hagelin, April 23, 2017, “Planned Parenthood Founded on Racism, Belief in Protecting Society Against ‘The Unfit,’” The Washington Times, https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/23/margaret-sanger-founded-planned-parenthood-on-raci/,

The reason a 2011 pro-life ad, “The Most Dangerous Place For An African American Is In The Womb,” that appeared in cities in New York and Florida angered the pro-abortionists so much that it was banned is because the ad is 100% true.

The vast majority of Americans have no idea what an absolute monster Margaret Sanger was. Sanger exposed her goal of eliminating black Americans in a 1939 letter. “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members” (Jennifer Latson, October 14, 2016, Time Magazine, “What Margaret Sanger Really Said About Eugenics and Race,” http://time.com/4081760/margaret-sanger-history-eugenics/, accessed April 28, 2019).

It is no accident that Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics are strategically placed in minority neighborhoods. Trust Women abortion clinics specifically state they want to provide their “services and access for those in underserved communities” (Trust Women website, https://trustwomen.org/clinics/seattle/general-information/about-us, accessed April 28, 2019). For example, the two abortion clinics in Oklahoma City are nowhere near the wealthy, well-to-do neighborhoods of Nichols Hills and Quail Creek in the northwest part of town. They are both located in the more impoverished parts of the city, one of which is surrounded by predominately poor black neighborhoods. Imagine that.

Since Sanger believed that blacks should be eliminated, it should not surprise you that she had no problem speaking at a Ku Klux Klan women’s meeting in 1926. On page 366 of her book, “An Autobiography,” Sanger described the event with chilling accuracy. “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan . . . I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses . . . A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered” (Arina Grossu, May 5, 2014, “Margaret Sanger, Racist Eugenicist Extraordinaire,” Family Research Council, https://www.frc.org/op-eds/margaret-sanger-racist-eugenicist-extraordinaire, accessed April 29, 2019). Grossu’s conclusion in her article about Sanger’s willingness to ally herself with the KKK is spot on. “That she generated enthusiasm among some of America’s leading racists says something about the content and tone of her remarks.”

I’m pretty sure that Kate Smith never attended a Ku Klux Klan meeting of any sort, nor would she if she had been invited to one. In fact, the KKK denounced the song “God Bless America” because it was written by a Jewish immigrant, the great Irving Berlin. Smith ended up on the KKK’s hate list simply because she sang a song written by a Jew.

If we are going to ban Kate Smith from our history because of a few songs she sung years ago that no one remembers and most people could care less about, why aren’t Americans demanding that each and every abortion clinic in our country be closed because of Margaret Sanger’s horrifying racism toward blacks and other minorities?

I can confidently state that Kate Smith never wanted to “exterminate” the black race. I can also confidently state that Margaret Sanger did. Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers are carrying on Sanger’s racist legacy with resounding barbaric and malevolent success.

You can find more quotes by Margaret Sanger at the Tradition, Family, and Property Student Website, “21 Quotes by Margaret Sanger That Will Probably Make You Sick,” (https://www.tfpstudentaction.org/blog/margaret-sanger-quotes, accessed April 28, 2019).

There is a terrible bill working its way through Congress right now. It’s called the “Equality Act” – H.R. 5, and it’s anything but about equality.

Authored by openly homosexual Congressman David Cicilline (D-Rhode Island), this legislation aims to “expand” the 1964 (68 & 69) Civil Rights Act and its protections to include homosexuals, transgenders, and individuals who identify with other paraphilias (sexual deviant behaviors).  This bill will normalize perverse, destructive sexual activities while indoctrinating and harming children at elementary school level.

This legislation is nothing more than a Trojan Horse to stamp out God-Given rights of American citizens, which is enshrined in the United State Constitution.  This is an attack on life, the family, and the entire society as a whole.

If this bill passes and gets signed into law, these are some of the terrible outcomes that will follow:

1. This bill will undermine the Civil Rights Movement which Black Americans, women and other minorities have fought for decades.
2. Churches and ministries will be sued and lose their tax-exemption status if they do not accommodate LGBTQ+ lifestyles and comply with the normalizing of their deviant sexual behaviors.
3. Children will be forced to learn about destructive LGBTQ+ behaviors in public schools as normative and even supreme over heterosexuality (i.e. Drag Queen Story Hours already promoted in many libraries).
4. Parents who oppose LGBTQ+ History Pride curriculum will be charged with illegal discrimination.
5. Colleges and universities (public and private) will lose funding, grants, and scholarships if they do not embrace this new LGBTQ+ supremacy.
6. All public and education buildings will have bathrooms and gymnasium showers that must allow transgendered men into women’s facilities and transgendered women into men’ facilities.  Children will not be safe in these environments.
7. All business owners will be forced to violate their freedom of conscience and religious liberties to accommodate all LGBTQ+ behaviors.
8. Hospitals and clinics will be forced to offer experimental and harmful transgender treatments and hormone therapies for children.
9. Foster and adoption agencies with convictions for the natural values of God-given parenting, of one man & one woman, will be forced to close, or must accommodate LGBTQ+ parenting.
