The guise doesn’t work for all sorts of ideological and historical reasons. Plus there’s the fact that he’s rushing to put on the outfit as he’s heading out the door. The new sanctions against Russia are fine with me on the merits, even if they are remarkably tardy and being sold in no small part for domestic, political reasons. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been undermining American interests for a long time now. From the annexation of Crimea and a shadow war in Ukraine to his unabashed support for the butcher Bashar Assad in Syria, Putin has given the Obama administration every excuse to punch back. But until last week, Obama’s response had been to offer various […]

Billy Davis, Steve Jordahl [(OneNewsNow.com)](https://www.onenewsnow.com/politics-govt/2017/01/04/dems-cant-figure-out-what-went-wrong) Democratic leaders still reeling from Election Day should reconsider their party’s disdain for people of faith, says a Christian apologist. “There has been a rejection of God,” observes Alex McFarland, “and therefore a lack of outreach to potential voters that have morality, religion and the Christian faith as their basis.” He recalls the recent Democratic Party platform, released last summer before the convention, that took sides against Israel, against biblical sexuality, and worst of all, against life itself, a reference to its pro-abortion stance. Just how radical were the party’s principles? “The most progressive Democratic platform ever,” The Washington Postdeclared. “Democrats advance most progressive platform in party history,” NBC News similarly proclaimed. It was at the 2012 convention, after the platform was approved, that hundreds of delegates loudly voted to keep a reference to faith

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…. We cannot renew ourselves on our own. We can guard ourselves from corrupting influences. We can offer ourselves to God and come to better discern his will (Romans 12:1-2). Ultimately, however, God himself must do the renewing, not just when we are saved, but daily. Only God’s grace can sustain, empower, and renew us. Let’s offer ourselves to him. Then, let’s confidently ask for his grace to empower, perfect, and renew us! My Prayer… Father, I come to you asking for your grace to make me new in the way I look at things, especially how I view people. Please cleanse my heart and make me new in my mind and my spirit. I want to live each day of this coming year sharing your love, empowered by your Spirit, and aware of your grace. In

President Barack Obama’s legacy of running up the tab for taxpayers during his family’s exorbitant and frequent vacations is projected to reach an excess of $100 million before the close of his two terms as president – putting a strain on the economy, military and Secret Service. As the Obamas finish up nearly two weeks of vacation in Hawaii over the holidays – with their White House stay coming to an end – the president’s hypocrisy is becoming increasingly evident. “As a candidate in 2008, then Sen. Barack Obama (R-Ill.), vowed he would give up vacations if elected president, in order to completely focus on his job,” WND reported. “Fast-forward to the present, and it is now projected Obama will have spent more than $100 million in taxpayer funds on vacations during his eight years as president.” A legacy of

NEW YORK (January 3, 2017) — Megyn Kelly, the Fox News anchor whose 12-year stint has been marked by upheavals at her network and personal attacks on the campaign trail, is headed to NBC News. The move was confirmed by Kelly’s publicist, Leslee Dart. Kelly’s departure deprives Fox News of its second-most-watched host, behind only Bill O’Reilly. Her contract with the network was due to run out this summer. In the past two years, Kelly has weathered personal attacks from Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, and last summer she played a behind-the-scenes role in the ouster of Fox News founder Roger Ailes after multiple accusations of sexual harassment. She is expected to take on a multi-faceted role at NBC. The move was first reported by The New York Times.  [https://www.onenewsnow.com/ap/business/fox-news-star-megyn-kelly-headed-to-nbc-news](https://www.onenewsnow.com/ap/business/fox-news-star-megyn-kelly-headed-to-nbc-news)  All Original Content Copyright ©2017  hnewswire.com All Rights Reserved. “All

A conservative activist believes that there is a very credible possibility that the Trump administration – working with Congress – will cut back funding to the United Nations next year. In a recent interview, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, who is an avowed liberal Democrat who supported President Barack Obama – said that he agrees that it is time for the United States to defund the U.N. Gary Bauer of the Christians United for Israel Action Fund reminded Americans that in 15 days, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and the entire crew of Left-wing ideologues will be out of office. The pro-Israel advocate is encouraged that President-elect Donald Trump has vowed that America’s relationship with Israel will change when he takes office. “And I think it is a very credible possibility that the Trump administration – potentially

President-elect Donald Trump said he would get rid of political correctness (PC) – and it couldn’t come too soon. But the Trump Era has not quite begun, so we’re still saddled with some PC, big and small. On the big side, we’re being told over and over that Mr. Trump did not actually win the election, but stole it with Russian help and – get this – media complicity. If you don’t go along with this PC view of the election, you are some sort of cave dweller. Do you find Donald Trump’s non-PC style appealing? Yes, it’s one reason he’s the president-electYes, but he needs to strike right toneNo, I don’t think it’s presidentialNo, I think it’s mostly empty words []()Vote[View Results]() [Polldaddy.com](https://polldaddy.com/signup-free/?ad=poll-front) The Russians are said to have been behind the hacking of emails from the Democratic National

Thanks, The Facebook Team Facebook workers routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s influential “trending” news section, according to a former journalist who worked on the project. This individual says that workers prevented stories about the right-wing CPAC gathering, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and other conservative topics from appearing in the highly-influential section, even though they were organically trending among the site’s users. Several former Facebook “news curators,” as they were known internally, also told Gizmodo that they

**American Hate al sharpten – Bings ** “Al” Sharpton Jr. is an American civil rights activist, Baptist minister, television/radio talk show host and a trusted White House adviser who, according to 60 Minutes, has become President Barack Obama’s “go-to black leader.” In 2004, he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. presidential election. 1. > 1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor. Pagones is wholly innocent — the crime never occurred — but Sharpton taunts him: “If we’re lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it.” Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation. To this day, Sharpton refuses to
