Glenn Beck Thinks God is Using Scalia’s Death to Tell Americans to Vote for Ted Cruz – Video

Calling into a conservative talk show, Glenn Beck offered his views on why Conservative activist Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia, was found dead last weekend.  Because, according to Glenn Beck, God wanted to show Americans how easy it was for us to lose our liberty, so, according to Glenn Beck, God wants us elect “a true constitutionalist” like Ted Cruz to save America.

Yea, you can’t make this stuff up!

“I just woke the American people up,” Beck said, explaining the wonders of God’s plan. “I took them out of the game show moment and woke enough of them up to say, look at how close your liberty is to being lost. You now have lost your liberty. You replace one guy and you now have 5-4 decisions in the other direction. Just with this one guy, you’ve lost your liberty so you’d better elect somebody that is going to be somebody on [the court] because for the next 30 years, if you don’t, the Constitution as you know it [is gone].”

“The Constitution is hanging by a thread,” he declared. “That thread has just been cut and the only way that we survive now is if we have a true constitutionalist.”

Ted Cruz often refers to himself as a true constitutionalist, except of course the part of the constitution that talked about “Natural Born Citizen.”

Lawsuit Filed Against Ted Cruz in Texas – Video

No, not because he was born in Canada and running for President of the United States, that lawsuit will come later if Donald Trump gets his way, and if Ted Cruz turns out to be the Republican candidate for president. This lawsuit filed in Texas was because of more sleazy maneuvering by Cruz and his team, and their violation a Texas law in the way they asked for donations.

According to the law, Texas House Bill 1265, anyone soliciting donations in the state using “fake checks” must specify on the check that it is a “SPECIMEN-NON-NEGOTIABLE” and those words must be printed on the check in 18-point lettering. Ted Cruz has sent out these “fake checks” trying to get Texans to send him $45, telling them that they donations will be matched. By the looks of the checks below, Cruz and his campaign clearly violated the specifics in the law.

“This is the kind of mail my legislation was trying to prevent,” said the Bill’s author, Gene Hu. “It certainly breaks the spirit of the law, and I agree that the Texas’ Consumer Protection Division should look into whether or not it breaks the letter of the law, as well.”

Phillip Martin, deputy director of Progress Texas filed the lawsuit, saying that Cruz must be held accountable. “We filed the complaint because no candidate is above the law, not even Ted Cruz.”

Rafael Cruz Warns – Obama will Destroy America in 30 Years with Supreme Court Nomination

Exactly. Just as the President has gone door to door to suppress our Second Amendment Rights and confiscate our guns, and the way he has used Obamacare to destroy America’s economic system, and the way Mr. Obama has created death panels to decide who gets healthcare and who dies in the waiting room. Remember all those Republican claims about Obama? Well now the president is apparently going to use his Supreme Court nominee to destroy America… in as little as 30 years!

That was the warning from Rafael Cruz, father of the presidential candidate known for telling lies, the candidate who is often called out by Donald Trump and Marco Rubio as the biggest liar in politics – Ted Cruz. Rafael was interviewed by Pat Robertson and felt the need to issue the warning about Obama to the American people.

Speaking about the death of Justice Scalia and the coming nomination by President Obama, Rafael said, “This could tilt the balance of the court and could be something that would affect America for the next 30 years. We don’t have 30 years.”

John Lewis Explains His Comment about Bernie Sanders’ Civil Rights Record

Congressman John Lewis, a Hillary Clinton supporter and endorser, recently made news when he suggested that Bernie Sanders’ claim of being a civil rights activist, wasn’t true. During his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, Lewis said that he never saw Sanders during his travels while fighting for civil rights in his early days.

“I never saw him. I never met him,” John Lewis said. “I was chair of the student non-violent coordinating committee for 3 years, from 1963 to 1966. I was involved in the sit-ins, the freedom ride, the march on Washington, the march from Selma to Montgomery and directed the board of education project for six years… But I met Hillary Clinton. I met President Clinton.”

With some backlash from some, Lewis clarified his statements with this

“In the interest of unity, I want to clarify the statement I made at Thursday’s news conference.

“I was responding to a reporter’s question who asked me to assess Sen. Sanders’ civil rights record. I said that when I was leading and was at the center of pivotal actions within the Civil Rights Movement, I did not meet Sen. Bernie Sanders at any time. The fact that I did not meet him in the movement does not mean I doubted that Sen. Sanders participated in the Civil Rights Movement, neither was I attempting to disparage his activism. Thousands sacrificed in the 1960s whose names we will never know, and I have always given honor to their contribution.”

First Mommy, Now Brother George Comes to Fight for JEB!

What does it say about Jeb! when his primary mode of fighting back is to bring out his mommy and brother to fight his battles in the Republican nomination? It says Jeb! is weak, definitely too weak to be Commander-in-Chief of the greatest military on the face of the earth.

George W. Bush will stump for his younger brother for the first time Monday night, attending a rally in North Charleston along with his wife, former first lady Laura Bush.

The rally comes after Jeb Bush’s most forceful debate performance of the campaign, when he pushed back on Donald Trump for attacking his brother’s national security record.

“I’m sick and tired of him going after my family,” Jeb Bush said Saturday night. “My dad is the greatest man alive, in my mind. While Donald Trump was building a reality TV show, my brother was building a security apparatus to keep us safe and I’m proud of what he did.”

It was clear that the audience was on Bush’s side, as it loudly booed Trump and cheered for Bush.

But Trump wasn’t letting go of his line of attack Monday morning, vowing to come after both brothers if necessary.

“Now that George Bush is campaigning for Jeb(!), is he fair game for questions about World Trade Center, Iraq War and eco collapse? Careful!” Trump tweeted.

Bush hasn’t always embraced his family legacy. Last summer, he seemed unprepared to answer the question of how he would have handled Iraq, painfully torn between needing to acknowledge the mistakes from the war and wanting to avoid criticism of his own brother.

President Obama to Announce Justice Scalia’s Replacement “in due time” – Video

After the passing of Justice Scalia, President Obama announced his intentions to nominate Scalia’s successor “in due time.”

“I plan to fulfill my constitutional responsibilities to name a successor in due time,” Mr. Obama said. “And there will be plenty of time for me to do so,

Mr. Obama also paid tribute to Scalia, calling him “a brilliant legal mind with an energetic style.”

Justice Scalia, a staunch conservative and some would argue, an activist judge on the Supreme Court bench, died of natural causes in Texas on February 13th. He was 79 years old.

Donald Trump – “I like money. I’m very greedy. I’m a greedy person”

The Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, says that he is a Christian, and he quoted “two Corinthians” in Iowa trying to get the Christian conservatives to vote for him. But if Trump is really such a Believer as he claims, then he should know the verse that says, “the love of money is the root of all evil.” That verse is found in ‘one Timothy, 6:10‘ – Trump should understand where that is!

At a rally in Iowa before the Iowa votes were cast, Trump bragged of his love for money and how “greedy” he is.

“Now, I’ll tell you, I’m good at that – so, you know, I’ve always taken in money,” he said at a rally in Iowa. “I like money. I’m very greedy. I’m a greedy person. I shouldn’t tell you that, I’m a greedy – I’ve always been greedy. I love money, right?

“But, you know what? I want to be greedy for our country. I want to be greedy. I want to be so greedy for our country. I want to take back money,” he added.

Trump also said he would have filed his personal finances with the Federal Election Commission even if he weren’t running for president, because he loves to brag.

“I filed my papers with the federal elections,” he said. “Everyone said, ‘Well maybe he’s not as rich as we think, so maybe he’ll never file,’ but I filed. In fact, I would have filed if I didn’t run, because I want to brag. I love to brag, all right?”

If Trump is so in love with money and greed, and the Scriptures say “the love of money is the root of all evil,” is it safe to say that Trump is evil?

I think that would be a fair assumption.

A Defeated Chris Christie Pulls Out of GOP Race for President

Becoming president of the United States was a long-shot for Chris Christie ever since the New Jersey governor hugged and thanked President Obama for bringing federal help to the people of his state during hurricane Sandy. Couple that with the fact that Donald Trump, another loudmouth, callous Republican is in the race, no one cared what Christie had to say.

So after Tuesday’s sixth place reward in New Hampshire, Fox Business News is reporting that Christie is calling it quits.

Despite a strategy that heavily focused money and resources on New Hampshire, Christie ended up in a disappointing sixth place Tuesday. Christie announced shortly after Tuesday’s loss that he was retreating to New Jersey and would be reevaluating his campaign.

Another major hurdle to Christie’s prospects was that he was very unlikely to make Saturday’s CBS debate. Polling at seventh place nationwide and sixth in the next primary state of South Carolina, Christie faced an uphill battle with no clear path to victory.

Petition to Recall Michigan’s Governor Rick Snyder is Approved

Rick Snyder, the governor who approved and spearheaded the poisoning of Flint’s children by giving them water from the Flint river to drink, could be recalled from office in an upcoming recall election.

The Board of State Canvassers, part of the secretary of state’s office, rejected nine other recall petitions, six of them based on Snyder’s widely criticized handling of lead from corroded pipes that began leaching into Flint homes following a cost-saving move to pump water from the Flint River.

The water crisis is under criminal investigation by state and federal authorities.

But the petition approved Monday seeks to remove Snyder, a Republican, from office over his decision last year to take control of the state office to reform schools, which organizers say disregards local prerogatives, according to The Detroit News and The Associated Press.

It takes three members of the four-person member board, which is split between Republicans and Democrats, to approve a recall petition.

Flint Residents Say Hillary Clinton’s Visit was All About Politics

Some of Flint’s residents have a message for the former Secretary of State and current Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton – don’t use us for your own political gain.

Hillary Clinton visited Flint Michigan on Sunday to bring more attention to the catastrophic water problems caused by Michigan Republican governor, Rick Snyder. Mrs. Clinton would be the first one to say that her visit was not political, but according to some residents, the visit was just another ploy by the Clinton campaign to get votes when Michigan goes to the polls on March 8th.

“I feel blessed to be here but I wish it were for a different reason,” Clinton said, as she took to the stage at the House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church. “But I am here because for nearly two years mothers and fathers were voicing concerns about the water’s color and its smell, about the rashes that it gave to those that were bathing in it. And for nearly two years Flint was told the water was safe.”

Some however, felt the photo-op moment was just to get votes.

“Don’t jump on a cause just to get votes,” said Flint Lives Matter organiser Calandra Patrick, as Clinton’s jet arrived in town. “It doesn’t matter to me if she makes an appearance or not – it doesn’t matter to me one bit.”

Arnette Rison III, a 47-year-old independent contractor, put Clinton’s visit in starker terms: “If she’s bringing 35,000 hydroelectric filters, I’ll love her for it. But that’s not what she’s about to do.”

At the church, though the topic was serious, the mood was jovial and warm. Clinton stood before a packed audience and spoke emphatically about the moral imperatives of the situation, saying: “The children in Flint are just as precious as the children in any other part of America”.

Watch, as debate moderators race through the introduction for the Republican presidential candidates. That, coupled with the applause of adoring Republican fans and the mindlessness of the candidates themselves, managed to mess up a perfectly ordinary and otherwise uneventful introduction.
