Wingnut Preacher Claims President Obama Fathered Love Child With Woman Killed in DC

These people will never stop with their lies and misinformation. This time, like many other, the lies are coming from a so-called Pastor. His name is James David Manning, pastor of Atlah World Missionary Church. Pastor Manning is no stranger to lying. He is just as guilty as Donald Trump for pushing the lie that President Obama was born in Kenya.

Now that the Birther lie is not as strong as it once was, Pastor Manning is pushing another lie to his faithful followers – most of whom I’m sure are Republicans. In his new lie, the Pastor is claiming that President Obama and Miriam Carey, the Connecticut mother who was shot and killed in Washington when she tried to ram her car into police barricades, are parents of the child found in the dead woman’s car.

The pastor, citing no facts to back up his lie simply because there aren’t any, is telling anyone who will listen that her family has demanded a paternity test to prove that the President is indeed the father of her 15 month old child. The family has asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to look into the case but nothing has been said about paternity, in fact they are involved in a custody dispute with the child’s actual father.

In his latest rant Manning asserts that Carey’s sister has gathered the requisite number of signatures needed to require that the investigation be opened on her petition hosted by Change.org petition, insinuating that the petition carries some kind of legal weight. Change.org is a private sector business which hosts petitions for a fee and has absolutely no legal standing at all. Even if it did it is highly unlikely that 586 signatures would be sufficient to require action.

He claims that it was not the Capitol Police who shot her and that it was actually an elite “hit squad” operating under direct orders from the President. His source for this is a “news service” known as What Does It Mean? This website has a number of stories reminiscent of the National Enquirer with headlines such as Evidence That 5 Million Americans Have Been ‘Disappeared’ By Obama Shocks Russians.

Expect this to be the new truth for the low information Republicans, who are more than satisfied with taking nonsense and turning it into their version on the truth… especially when it involves the President of the United States. At some point, you have to believe that the President is shaking his head in disbelief at all these dumb people.

Miriam Carey Suffered From Postpartum Depression – Video

Idella Carey, mother of Miriam Carey killed at the hands of Washington police Thursday, said her daughter began suffering from postpartum depression after giving birth in August 2012.

Mariam Carey was shot to death outside the U.S. Capitol after trying to ram her car through a White House barrier.

Interviews with some of those who knew the Stamford resident suggested she was coming apart well before she loaded her 1-year-old daughter into the car for the 275-mile drive to Washington, D.C. Carey had sustained a head injury in a fall and had later been fired as a dental hygienist about a year ago, according to her former employer, Dr. Brian Evans, a periodontist in Hamden. He wouldn’t say why, only that after a few weeks out from work, she returned and was terminated.

Federal investigators believe that Carey drove straight to the nation’s capital and that the violence unfolded immediately upon her arrival.

After ramming into the barricades, Carey, apparently unarmed, led police on a chase down Constitution Avenue to the Capitol, where she was shot in a horrifying chain of events.

Amy Carey-Jones, a sister of Miriam, said on CNN’s ‘Anderson Coopers 360’ Friday that there should’ve been “another way instead of shooting and killing an individual.” Another sister, Valerie Carey, said their sister “did not deserve to have her life cut down” at age 34.

A next-door neighbor, Erin Jackson, said Carey doted on her daughter, Erica, and was pleasant. Jackson said. “She seemed very happy with her daughter, very proud of her daughter.” The daughter was miraculously unharmed and was taken into protective custody.

Experts say symptoms of postpartum depression include lack of interest in the baby; mood swings between sadness and irritability; scary thoughts of something bad happening to the baby; and, in severe cases, suicidal thoughts.

Police say they’re confident Carey’s actions weren’t an accident, but that she intentionally meant to ram into the guard barrier surrounding the Whitehouse.
