Over the last year, Hillary repeatedly lied to Congress while under oath, lied in her response to questions during Presidential debates, lied during interviews with news media, and lied to the American people on how she handled Secret, Top Secret, and Sensitive Compartmented E-mails that were transmitted and received on the unclassified private E-mail server in the basement of her home.
Hillary Clinton also lied in her testimony while under oath to Congress, about the “Radical Islamic Terrorists “ who attacked on the US Mission in Benghazi, Libya.  She also lied to the families of the 4 dead Americans who were killed in Benghazi, within close proximity to their American Flag draped caskets, immediately after their bodies arrived at the Delaware US Air Force Base.  She also repeatedly lied to the American people and the news media when she said the attack on the US Mission in Benghazi was the result of a demonstration against a YouTube video that went bad, while on the night of the attack, she told her daughter that the attack was conducted by an Al Q’ieda type terrorist group.  
After many years as a practicing attorney, 8 years as a US Senator, 4 years as the Secretary of State, Hillary had been repeatedly briefed and required to execute proof of her understanding, under penalty of perjury, on how to handle classified material.  Hillary very well knew that in transmitting and receiving classified E-mails on an unclassified server, that she was violating US Federal Laws.  
In his testimony before Congress, the FBI Director alleged Hillary Clinton did not know what she was doing when she was violating Federal Laws.  If that is true, it goes to her lack of “competence” and further demonstrates that she is “incompetent” to ever be trusted to handle classified material again.
FBI Director Comey told the American people that the FBI did a “comprehensive” investigation of… more

Federal Prosecutors, Law Enforcement Officers, and most clear thinking, law abiding citizens throughout the nation are concerned with the FBI Director’s decision to decision to summarily acquit Hillary Clinton.  FBI Director James Comey stated that Hillary Clinton sent and received Secret, Top Secret, and Compartmented messages on her unclassified private E-mail server, and went on to say “we believe that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial E-mail accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account.”  The FBI Director also stated that Hillary Clinton was “extremely careless” (another way of saying “grossly negligent”) in handling and transmitting very sensitive classified information.

Hillary violated US Federal Laws, violated National Security Statues, and put the National Security of the United States at risk; some of her staff handling the server and the messages didn’t have proper security clearances.  Many of the 24 million Americans who served in the US Armed Forces and handled classified messages, would have been prosecuted if they illegally destroyed 30,000 messages, and transmitted & received 110 messages containing clearly marked classified information, from an unclassified server.  

 

Hillary’s actions demonstrated “gross negligence”; “gross negligence” is a “felony.” Over a 4 year period, Hillary Clinton repeatedly violated federal statues governing the handling of over 100 Secret, Top Secret, and compartmented messages. The FBI could have easily met the standard to prosecute Hillary for her “negligence” in handling Secret, Top Secret, and Compartmented messages.

 

The central flaw in the acquittal of Hillary was “Intent.”  Intent “does not” matter in US Federal Laws governing the handling of classified material.  Thousands of Americans have been prosecuted for “mishandling” classified material—never…

Combat Veterans For Congress-----Embedded Integrity

The Combat Veterans For Congress PAC is endorsing the 108th Combat Veteran For Congress in 8 years; he is a fiscally conservative candidate who will work to reduce the national debt, and will focus on reining in the out of control spending by Congress.  He will work toward unleashing the private sector to grow once again, create jobs, and stimulate private sector business investment.  Brig Gen Donald J. Bacon, USAF (Ret) who resides in Papillion, Nebraska is a veteran who served nearly 30 years in the US Air Force.  Brig Gen Bacon is running for election in the 2nd Congressional District of Nebraska against one term Congressman Brad Ashford (D-NB-2) in the general election.  Donald Bacon was born on August 16, 1963 and raised in  Momence, Illinois; his father had served in the US Marine Corps.  In June of 1980, Donald graduated from Grace Baptist Academy in Kankakee, IL.  In 1984, Donald received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL.  Capt Bacon was awarded a Master’s Degree in Management from the University of Phoenix, in Tucson, AZ in June 1995.  In June 1998, Maj Bacon was designated a Distinguished Graduate from the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, AL.

In May 1985, Donald Bacon enrolled as a student in the US Air Force Officer Training School in Lackland Air Force Base (AFB) in San Antonia, TX.  On August 21, 1985, Donald Bacon was sworn into the US Air Force at Lackland AFB in Texas as a 2nd Lieutenant.  2nd Lt Bacon graduated from Officer Training in October 1985 and entered Officer Intelligence School at Lowry AFB, Colorado; he graduated in May 1986 as a Distinguished Graduate.  2nd Lt Bacon was assigned to the Offensive Missile Analysis Team, 544th Intelligence Analysis Squadron, at Offutt AFB, NEB.  In August 1987 he was promoted to First Lieutenant.  In February 1989, 1st Lt Bacon was assigned as an…

Many law abiding Muslim America citizens have assimilated in the United States and fought as members of the US Armed Forces, against Sadam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, and also against “Radical Islamic Terrorism” over the last 50 years.  They are opposed to ISIS’ murderous attacks against gays, Christians, and Jews, and are frightened of the “Radical Islamic Terrorist” threat.  More Muslims worldwide than Americans have been murdered by “Radical Islamic Terrorists.”

 

The Muslim Brotherhood (the progenitor of Jihadism), and its front groups, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), do not have members who are law abiding Muslim Americans, like many Muslim Americans who are good citizens and have assimilated in the United States.  Members of the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, and MPAC have sinister goals that are not in support of the US Constitution or The Bill of Rights.  They have become a very dangerous “Fifth Column” in the United States, appointed by Obama to very high and sensitive positions in the US Government agencies. 

 

For nearly 8 years Obama has been filling the Washington bureaucracy including DHS, the CIA, DOD, the National Security Council, the White House, the State Department, every US Intelligence Agency, and the US Armed Forces with thousands of members of the CAIR, MPAC, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups.  

 

Phil Haney (former Custom & Border Protection DHS Law Enforcement Officer) and Richard Higgins (former DOD Manager of the Combating Terrorism & Technical Support Office & Irregular Warfare Section) made explosive charges on national radio.  They stated that the Obama administration is a "tool" for the Jihadi movement in the US.  That the driving force behind America's domestic counter-terrorism strategies and its foreign policy is a massive Muslim Brotherhood (MB…

The Joint Chiefs of Staff should never permit anything to degrade the “Combat Effectiveness”, morale, and the unit cohesiveness of combat units in the US Armed Forces.  Recruiting and allowing transgender individuals to enter the US Armed Forces will further degrade the “Combat Effectiveness”, morale, and unit cohesiveness of the US Armed Forces.  

 

Obama’s Social Experiment on Diversity permitted the recruiting and entry of gay individuals into the US Armed Forces; that policy resulted in the rape of 11,000 straight male recruits by gays; something that has never happened before.  Obama’s destructive Social Experiment on Diversity has negatively affected unit morale, retention, recruiting, unit cohesiveness, and “Combat Effectiveness” of the US Armed Forces.

 

The entry of transgender individual will result in hundreds of the expensive sex change surgeries (that will be the main reason they will join), it will result in serious unit conflicts, destabilizing events that will destroying unit cohesion, and their presence will further degrading of unit morale----it is another of Obama’s destructive policies that have been degrading the US Armed Forces for nearly 8 years.  The US Armed Forces is not a laboratory for Social Experiments, its primary function is to defend the Republic from enemies. 

 

Will the “do nothing” Republican leadership in Congress continue to do “absolutely nothing”, as Ryan and McConnell have done absolutely nothing to oppose this latest destructive policy that will degrade the effectiveness of the US Armed Forces.  Ryan and McConnell watched on the side lines, while Obama hollowed out of the US Armed Forces, degrading its strength to the level it stood at prior to WWII, while China, Russia, Iran, and Islamic State keeps growing and modernizing their military forces.  

 

This latest Obama destructive military policy is unconscionable, and the Joint…

This is in support of America’s most decorated Combat Veteran, MajGen. Patrick H. Brady, USA (Ret) (Meal Of Honor) a “Dust Off” pilot during the Vietnam War 

                                         

Senator or Congressman________:

I am writing to ask for your support for America’s most reviled and neglected Veterans in our Republic’s history — the Vietnam Veteran, and that you support Senate Bill 2268.

Amazingly, no individual or US Military unit has received a Congressional Gold Medal specifically for service in Vietnam. Yet Vietnam may be the only war we ever fought in which the heroism of the American soldier was accompanied by a humanitarianism, unmatched in the annals of warfare. And the humanitarianism took place during the heat of battle. The GI fixed as he fought, he cured, educated, and built in the middle of the battle. What other Army has ever done that? Humanitarianism was America’s great victory in Vietnam.

Spearheading the humanitarianism efforts were the “Dust Off Crews”, the most dangerous of all aviation missions, which rescued some one million US Armed Forces personnel, friendly and enemy men, women, and children.  Any American who visits Vietnam today will see the fruits of the GIs charity in the Vietnamese people.  

It is fitting, that during the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War, while DOD is honoring all members of the US Armed Forces who fought and died in Vietnam, that the US Congress authorizes a Congressional Gold Medal to honor the “Dust Off Crews”.  The “Dust Off Crews” were the revered by members of the US Armed Forces because of their courageous and humanitarian effort under fire, as they stubbornly returned and landed their helicopters, time and time again, in hot landing zones, in order to rescue and evacuate wounded personnel under vicious attack by enemy forces in Vietnam. 

General Creighton Abrams, Supreme Commander Military Forces in Vietnam singled out the “Dust Off Crews” as the “…

After the 86th murderous attack by a “Radical Islamic Terrorist”, this time in Orlando, that resulted in the massacre of 49 innocent Americans and the wounding of 53 others, Obama, Hillary, their allies in Congress, and the left of center liberal media establishment, tried again to divert attention away from another racist “Radical Islamic Terrorist” attack against Americans.  The left of center liberal media establishment fell into line with Obama’s shameful attempt to cover up the truth, by promoting stories about Muslims being victims, i. e. “Muslim Victimhood” who fear of being blamed, and the press again called for new gun controls to restrict the ability of law abiding Americans to protect themselves.  

 

Obama keeps trying to divert the “Radical Islamic Terrorist” issue facing Americans, to a 2ndAmendment and a gun control restriction issue.  Gun restriction on law abiding Americans will not prevent well-armed “Radical Islamic Terrorists” from entering across the wide open southern border to kill Americans.  The Orlando attack was the 86th “Radical Islamic Terrorist” murderous attacks inside the US on American citizens; 27 of those attacks were linked to ISIS, and 60 of those attacks occurred in the last 2 years. Obama is not really out of touch, he just keeps trying to divert every terrorist  attack away from “Radical Islamic Terrorist” who perpetrate them. 

 

Obama, Hillary, and the left of center liberal media establishment intentionally over-reach to mislead and lie to Americans, repeating their steady misleading drum beat, that Trump wants to prevent “all” Muslims from entering the US—when he repeatedly called for a “TEMPERARY PAUSE” in the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Middle East and Africa, until the FBI is allowed to screen those refugees to determine if they have terrorist ties.

The below listed message from Rees Lloyd, Esq (USA) Honors Flag Day.  On this Flag Day, it is appropriate to pay homage to the 49 innocent and gentle Americans who were murdered, and 50 others innocent Americans who were wounded in Orlando in the 86th terrorist attack on American soil by another Radical Islamic Terrorists.  

 

Unfortunately, few Americans are aware that Radical Islamic Terrorists have been attacking and/or killing hundreds of Americans citizens on US soil for the last 8 years; those attacks have been covered up by the left of center liberal media establishment, and the threat continues to be minimized and underestimated by the occupant of the Oval Office.  

 

The United States has been under attack from coast to coast in  places like  Sacramento, Houston, Philadelphia, San Bernardino, Times Square, Moore, Detroit, Boise, Little Rock, Fort Hood Texas, Portland-ME, Chattanooga, Garland, Boston, Portland-OR, Minneapolis, Merced, Missouri, Kentucky, New York, Illinois, Washington-DC, Orlando, Oklahoma, and many more cities too numerous to list here.

 

The FBI has over 1000 open cases on Radical Islamic Terrorists planning attacks against Americans on US soil.  To date 100 ISIS Radical Islamic Terrorist plots have been broken up by the FBI, resulting in the arrests of over 180 ISIS Muslim Refugees and Radical Islamic Terrorists from across the United States.

 

We are saddened at the loss of any American lives to murderous attacks by Radical Islamic Terrorists who have “Declared War Against the United States”, and those terrorists have been employing bombs, knives, planes, and guns in 86 Terrorist Attacks to kill Americans on US soil.

 

We encourage very aggressive action by the US Armed Forces against Radical Islamic Terrorist, ISIS, Al Q’ieda in their overseas bases of operations to put them on the defensive and eradicate the terrorist threat.…

My Fellow Americans,

 

     The most important Congressional election in 240 years will take place in a little over 4 months.  It is an election that will determine if America’s Free Enterprise System, which built the most effective economic engine in the history of mankind, will continue, or if it will be replaced by a Socialist State.

 

    The results of this election will determine whether the Obama administration’s support for Communist Cuba, Iran (the largest state sponsor of terrorism), and the subtle support for Russia’s aggressive antics will continue, or if the US instead, will support and defend its traditional allies.  

 

     The election will determine if Christians and Jews in the US Armed Forces will continue to be faced with discrimination, or if their freedom of religion will be protected.

 

     The results of this election will determine if Christians and Jews in the Middle East will be protected from ISIS, Al Q’ieda, and Radical Islamic Terrorists genocide.

 

     This election will determine if violations of the US Constitution and US Federal Immigration Laws will continue, or if those violations will cease, and the southern border will finally be closed, and the entry of Radical Islamic Terrorists and Illegal Aliens will be halted.  

 

      It is an election that will determine if the reckless spending and taxing by irresponsible members of Congress will continued or will be reined in.

 

     The 2016 election will determine if the unilateral disarmament of the US Armed Forces continues, or if a newly-elected Congress puts a stop to the hollowing out of the US Armed Forces.

 

     This election will determine if the FBI will finally be permitted to interview the hundreds of thousands of Middle East and African Refugees, entering the United States, and being resettled in 180 cities throughout the US-------to determine if…

For four years, while I was a Midshipman matriculating at the US Naval Academy, I was a member of the “Working Honor Committee."  I was on the working committee with battalion representatives from throughout the Brigade of Midshipmen to study issues that might affect the “Honor Concept”, and to make recommendations for consideration by the Executive Department.

 

“HONOR” is the bedrock of a human being’s character.  The below listed articles speaks volumes about a young US Marine Captain whose steadfast actions, regardless of consequences, embodied his true sense of “HONOR.”

 

This dissertation on “HONOR” has nothing to do with gender, party affiliation, ideology, or policy.  This is an analysis of character and judgement, and how it affects personal “HONOR.”

 

It is not just about Hillary Clinton’s “character and judgement,” it’s also about the “character and judgement” of the Attorney General, the Occupant of the Oval Office, and the most importantly “judgement” of the American people in the most important election in 240 years.

 

As outlined in the below listed article, you will understand why Hillary Clinton is the antithesis of the impressive young US Marine Captain that the article is about.

 

Hillary has repeatedly proven by her responses over the last 40 years that she is a serial liar-----in her responses to questions about Benghazi------White Water------Vince Foster------the transmission of over 2200 classified messages on an unclassified server.  Hillary repeated lied to the parents of the 4 dead Americans murdered during “The Battle of Benghazi” while she stood within close proximity to the caskets of those dead Americans----and how she has repeatedly lied to the American people about who prosecuted the attack on a US Mission in Benghazi.  

 

From September to November 2012 election, Hillary kept repeating that the attack was the…

Please read the below listed article about how Speaker Paul Ryan is allowing Obama to retain a provision in next year’s fiscal DOD budget to continue to fund the recruiting of “Illegal Aliens” from Mexico into the US Armed Forces, while there is no way to check the backgrounds of those “Illegal Aliens” from Mexico, to ensure they comply with national security provisions, and are not connected with the Mexican Drug Cartels. 

 

The Republican leadership in Congress is allowing the recruiting of “Illegal Aliens” into the US Armed Forces at a time when 94 million Americans citizens are unemployed and could use employment in the US Armed Forces, and could easily fill the billets that “Illegal Aliens” will be filling instead.  

 

Speaker Ryan has the power of the purse and could have prevented Obama from recruiting Mexican “Illegal Aliens” into the US Armed Forces, but he has done absolutely nothing to prevent it.  There is very little change between what Boehner let Obama get away with for 7 years, and what Ryan has been allowing Obama to get away with, ever since he became Speaker.  Ryan forced the Omnibus Spending Bill through Congress, steam rolling over the Republicans Conservative Caucus; he was only able to get it approved through October 1, 2016 by working very closely with Pelosi—it’s the first time any Speaker in US History betrayed the will of his Republican members.   

 

Ryan funded Obama’s Illegal Immigration policies (including giving Green Cards to 5 million Illegal Aliens), Obama’s Muslim Refugee Policy (allowing hundreds of thousands of Muslim Refugees to enter the US without allowing the FBI to vet them to determine if they have terrorist ties), Obama’s destructive anti-military policies (downsizing the military to weaken it to a level it was at, prior to WWII), and Obama’s Unconstitutional Fast Track Trade Bill (giving Green Cards to millions to Illegal Aliens from…

On the commencement to Memorial Day weekend, America watched in astonishment as the occupant of the Oval Office, instead of going to Pearl Harbor to honor the 2,403 American servicemen killed, and the 1178 servicemen wounded on December 7, 1941, in a dastardly surprise attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor, that initiated WWII, he went instead to Hiroshima. 

Obama subtly apologized in Hiroshima, for the United States’ actions.  This time for what the US President Harry Truman did to Japan, in order to save the lives of an estimated 1 million American servicemen, who would have been killed if an invasion of Japan to end WWII took place.  Instead the atomic bomb was dropped on an obstinate, unrepentant, and  aggressive Japan that started the war, and was threatening to kill over 1 million American servicemen instead of ending the conflict.

 

Diamond Rio’s song can be heard by clicking on the below listed link.  He tells Americans in verse, that they have nothing to apologize for, that God had been watching over America in every conflicts, for 240 years----------that America is one Nation under God----------and that “In God We Still Trust.”

Combat Veterans fight and die to protect their fellow comrades in arms, and fight for their right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.  Courageous Combat Veterans sacrifice the time they are away from their families, often are involved in operations that negatively affect their health, and all too often they forfeit their lives to protect and defend their fellow man and ensure the freedoms accorded to their fellow Americans by the US Constitution.  Today, America has fewer Combat Veterans serving in Congress than in any other time in US History.  We continue to recruit them to run Congress, and encourage Americans to elect them to Congress. 

 

On Memorial Day, and “every day”, we honor Combat Veterans who have given their last full measure of devotion in the defense of the Republic, we also honor all Veterans who at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives”, and we are  grateful for the service of members of the US Armed Forces who are protecting and defending the Republic. 

 

Many living and deceased Veterans have been honored with plaques dedicated in their memory at the largest National Veterans Memorial west of the Mississippi, the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial, in La Jolla, California.  A video about the National Veterans Memorial on Mt. Soledad can be viewed by clicking on the below listed link; it includes comments by Jessica (John) Gercke:

Combat Veterans For Congress---Embedded Integrity

The Combat Veterans For Congress PAC is endorsing the 106th Combat Veterans For Congress in the last 8 years; he is a fiscally conservative candidate who will work to rein in the out of control spending by irresponsible members of Congress, will work to reduce the national debt, and will work toward unleashing the private sector to grow once again, to create jobs, and stimulate private sector business investment.  He believes in an efficient government that serves the people and upholds the highest standards of integrity and transparency.  Maj Cristov Dosev, USMCR of Pensacola, Florida is running in the primary election to seek the Republican nomination to run for the 1st Congressional District of Florida for the seat currently represented by Cong Jeff Miller (R-FL-1) who is not seeking re-election.  

Cristov Dosev was born on October 27, 1961 in Chicago, Illinois and was raised in Chicago, Illinois.  Cris graduated from Albert G. Lane Technical High School in Chicago, Illinois in June 1979.  He graduated with Honors earning a Bachelor of Land Surveying Degree from the College of Civil Engineering, at the University of Florida, Gainesville in April of 1984.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a Non-Government Organization (NGO) that has ties to Soros and Clinton, that gets tens of millions in US taxpayer dollars to resettle hundreds of thousands of Syrian Muslim Refugees throughout the United States, is now under investigation for bribery, bid-rigging, and corruption by the Office of the Inspector General within the U.S. Agency for International Development.  

Last year, at a national conference, Obama’s White House Immigration Advisor, Cecilia Munoz, openly stated that the resettlement process is like planting “seedlings,” and those seedlings will be nurtured by the Obama administration and its army of left-wing NGOs receiving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars from the Obama administration, and will continue until those Muslims Refugees are able to eventually rise up and take control of their host communities, like they have done in Dearborn, Michigan.  

 

IRC is actively seeding communities with Muslim Syrian Refugees, building “communities within communities” in 26 areas including Atlanta, Wichita, Baltimore, Boise, Idaho; Dallas, Miami, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Seattle, Tucson and Phoenix; Los Angeles; Charlottesville, Virginia; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Northern California, with new offices now opening in Missoula; Richmond, Virginia; Tallahassee, Florida; Garden City, Kansas; and Midland, Texas, a USAID official said. 

 

A representative from the Office of the Inspector General in the U.S. Agency for International Development stated,  “What became clear in the course of this investigation was this is a pretty sophisticated operation,” 

 

The left of center liberal media establishment is covering up the scandal and corruption perpetrated by IRC, while the Obama administration looked the other way; it is discussed in detail in the below listed article.   The USAID’s Office of the Inspector General’s…

The most important election in the 240 year history of the Republic will be held in less the 6 months.  So Patriotic Americans can: 

 

Protect and defend the US Constitution from the continued violations of its provisions by the current occupant in the Oval Office and from Hillary.

 

Save The Free Enterprise System from the Socialist agenda driven into the federal government, over the last 7 ½ years, by the occupant of the Oval Office and from Hillary.

 

Halt the hallowing out of the US Armed Forces, stop the degrading of  its “Combat Effectiveness” by the occupant of the Oval Office for the last 7 ½ years and from Hillary.

 

Close the wide open southern border to halt the flow of drugs, terrorists, & Illegal Aliens that the Un-American US Chamber of Commerce has fought against for 24 years.

 

Halt the Congressional out of control and irresponsible spending by the Republican leadership, that has driven the National Debt to $20 trillion, and close to US bankruptcy.

 

Put a stop to the entry of over 915,000 Middle East and African Muslim Refugees, being resettled into 185 US cities, until the FBI is permitted to interview those refugees to determine if they have terrorist ties with ISIS, Al Q’ieda, and Radical Islamic Terrorists.

 

Defeat Hillary to ensure that she is not allowed to appoint any leftists Justices to the Supreme Court, like Obama’s two leftist and pro-Illegal Immigration appointees.

 

Cut off the federal funding to 300 “Sanctuary Cities” created by Obama, that are harboring thousands of Radical Islamic Terrorists, Convicted Criminal Illegal Aliens, and over 15 million Illegal Aliens. 

 

Put a stop to the funding in billions of dollars in food stamps for Illegal aliens, billions of dollars in income tax rebates for Illegal Alien children living in Mexico, billions of dollars of much better…

Please read the below listed article where former House Speaker Boehner is having his ally spend one million dollars to defeat a principled Conservative Republican endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, Congressman James Bridenstine, Lcdr-USNR (R-OK-1), who has consistently taken courageous stands, very difficult principled stands, that few Republicans have had the courage to take, because his stands were in opposition to former Speaker Boehner’s support for Obama’s below listed Un-constitutional initiatives that were in violations of US Federal Laws.

The race in the 1st Congressional District of Oklahoma, it is about a lot more than Cong James Bridenstine.  It’s about deterring any potential principled conservative citizen legislator from doing the right thing, and continuing the pale-pastel scam driven by Washington special interest, K Street, the Washington ruling class, and Boehner’s Republican Party leadership, they betrayed the American voters who gave the Republican leadership the largest majority in Congress since the 1920s.  

The American voters were hoping the Republican leadership would do the right thing; use the power of the purse to defund Obamacare, close the wide open southern border, stop the massive influx of Middle East Muslim Refugees who were not being vetted by the FBI to determine if they had terrorist ties, and use of the power of the purse to oppose billions of dollars for illegal immigrents.  Instead they did very little, and Boehner supported every one of Obama unlawful programs listed below.

“Boehner, and the K Street-types cannot afford even one more term of a man who listens to the people of Tulsa instead of the special Washington interests.  Boehner has recruited Tom Atkinson, a wealthy owner of an oil company, to run against Cong Bridenstine and has publicly promised to spend up to a $1 million in this very cheap media market.  Atkinson has no support from the people…

Obama removed all US military forces from Iraq in 2011; he ignored the advice of his highly experienced US Army Generals, the US Ambassador to Iraqi, the CIA, and the outgoing National Security Council not to remove all US military forces Iraq, that the US should leave a sustaining force in Iraq to prevent Al Q’ieda from reconstituting its strength and to prevent Iran from filling in the void that would create.  Obama refused that expert advice from many experienced sources; as soon as the US Military Forces were pulled out by Obama, Iran filled the void, and effectively took control of Iraq (in light of Obama’s subsequently pivot toward Iran, creating that void, appears to have been a calculated move).  

The removal of all US military forces from Iraq resulted in the creation of ISIS which has metastasized in the last 5 years. While ISIS was gaining strength and conquering territory, Obama called ISIS “a JV team.”  That JV team, then established the Islamic State and a Caliphate which attracted 50,000+ committed Radical Islamic Terrorists from around the world. ISIS has been effectively given a safe haven in Iraq and Syria; the pin prick air strikes have had substantially no effect on ISIS aggression (most of the US aircraft return with their full complement of bombs, because the “Rules Of Engagement” prevent the pilots from striking their designated targets).   

As soon as Obama occupied the Oval Office, he was determined to empty 242 GITMO very dangerous detainees (82 detainees remain there today), and so Obama made it a policy not to capture terrorist leaders, from whom the military had previously obtained valuable current battlefield intelligence during their interrogations, instead the new policy became to just kill them, one at a time, with drone strikes.  Killing one ISIS leader at a time, has had little effect on ISIS operation, the next in line just takes on the leadership role; ISIS has grown…

National Security has never appeared to be a priority for the Obama.  The torrid pace of Muslim Illegal Aliens migration into the US over the last 7 years is downright alarming.  Obama has been bringing them in from 49 Muslim nations (including but not limited to Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, Indonesia, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, etc.).  The FBI has informed Obama that their backgrounds or identities cannot be verified to determine if they have terrorist ties, yet Obama continues continue to flood them into the United States with “reckless” disregard to the National Security of the United States.  By the end of the year, DHS will have issued 925,000 green cards to Muslim Refugees whose identities cannot be verified.  Obama has a very dangerous, 7 year pattern of admitting massive numbers of Muslim Refugees, despite the fact that ISIS has said they would be smuggling Radical Islamic Terrorists into the US with those refugees.     

 

At the same time, he opens the interior of the nation to the entry of Radical Islamic Terrorists, and he continues to “hollow out” the strength of the US Armed Forces, while especially decreasing the strength of the US Marine Corps.  According to the Associated Press reports, the 10,000 Muslim Syrian Refugees, the first group of 100,000 Muslim Refugees that Obama is intent on admitting in 2016, without having the FBI determine if they have terrorist ties, have already been processed and have been settled somewhere in Kansas City, Missouri (DHS refuses to provide local & federal law enforcement and elected state officials where they are being settled).

The mass genocide in Cuba when Castro came to power, resulted in the murderous stone cold Communist Executioner, Che Guevara, brutal summary execution of hundreds of thousands freedom loving Cubans before firing squads, Che’s mass executions were similar to those Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, and Mao perpetrated when they came to power.  Che was a murderous thug and stone cold brutal killer of any opposition to the new Cuban Communist Dictatorship.  President Eisenhower, immediately suspended recognition of Cuba and recalled the US Ambassador, because of the mass murderous execution of respected Cubans.  Obama stood in front a large mural of the murderous blood cold Communist Executioner, Che Guevara, in order to have his picture taken for the world to see, with him standing proudly beside the Cuban Communist Dictator, Raoul Castro.  There couldn't be a better example of Obama's true loyalty to a bloody murderous Communism Revolutionary Marxists Stone Cold Executioner Thug, and for his enormous support for the oppressive Communist Police State of Cuba. 

Two years after Iran’s terrorist front group, Hezbollah, established a terrorist training camp in Castro’s Communist Cuba, Castro began training & exporting FARC terrorists to Columbia to destabilize the elected government of Columbia, and regularly exported Radical Islamic Terrorists to the US, and the rest of the Western Hemisphere.  Obama lied in his campaign to re-establish US normalized relations with Cuba in order to prop up the Communist Dictator nation in the world community of nations.  He did that in overdrive in 2014, when he realized Cuba desperately needed US financial support, because Marxists Socialist Venezuela was on the brink of financial collapse and could no longer fund Castro’s brutal Communist Cuban Dictatorship, wherein the monthly income for an average Cuban sank to $24/month.

Massive immigration without assimilation is an invasion!!!!!!

 

The below listed article explains that from 2009 through 2013, the US issued 680,000 long-term residency visas or green cards to the UN Muslim Refugee Resettlement Program.  From 2014 through 2015 Obama brought in and resettled throughout the US 75,000 Muslim Middle East & African Refugees/year, increasing the number of Muslim refugees to 830,000, and when the 85,000 Muslim Refugees that are being admitted in 2016, the number of Muslim refugees brought in by Obama will reach 915,000; Obama has been doing the bidding of the Muslim Brotherhood and their Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups in the United States.  The United Arab Emirates banned the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Muslim Student Association (MSA), and other Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups because it promotes, incites, and finances terrorism.  The MB overthrew the legally elected government of Egypt, violently cracked down on its opposition, perpetrated brutal genocide on all Christians in Egypt, and then overthrew the government of Libya with Hillary & Obama’s help.  Saudi Arabia, Syria, Bahrein, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia have all designated the MB as an international terrorist organization and banned it from their countries.  For 7 years, the 915,000 Muslim Refugees have been admitted by Obama, even though the FBI repeatedly warned Obama and Congress that they have been prevented from vetting them to determine if they have terrorist ties (Speaker Ryan and Senate Majority McConnell funded the continued resettlement of un-vetted Muslim Refugees, even though the FBI and a majority of American citizens oppose it).  It was reported by the US…

The governments of the United Arab Emirates has designated the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Muslim Student Association (MSA), and other Islamist organizations as terrorist organizations that promote, incite, and finance terrorism.  The MB overthrew the legally elected government of Egypt, violently cracked down on its opposition, perpetrated brutal genocide on all Christians in Egypt, and it has now been banned in Egypt.  Saudi Arabia, Syria, Bahrein, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia have all designated the MB as an international terrorist organization.  Israel, Canada, and the United Kingdom have announced that they are close to designating the MB as an international terrorist organization as well.  MSA is a college student organization, founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1963 at the University of Illinois.  In the early 1980's, the MB created the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), in order for it to be the "nucleus" of the Islamic Movement on the North American continent.  It was formed by many of the leaders who created the MSA, and is in fact an outgrowth of the MSA.  ISNA has become the umbrella organization for all MB Front organizations created by the MB in America. 

 

In 1980, when the ISNA was created in the US by the MB, it then created over 100 organizations to help accomplish MB’s stated mission, the “Civilization of Jihad.”  In 1992, the Muslim Brotherhood Strategic Plan (MBSP) was published.  The goal of the MBSP was to create thousands of Islamic organizations, in accordance with the MB Implementation Manual. The MB then created many new Islamic Societies, 2200 Islamic Centers and Mosques, 160 organizations (social organizations, media organizations, legal…

An endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, Congressman Duncan D. Hunter, Maj-USMCR (R-CA-52) in the below article is opposing the transfer of the most dangerous Al Q’ieda Terrorists incarcerated at the US Naval Detention Facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GITMO) to foreign countries and to US prisons on United States soil.  There is a much more sinister reason why the occupant in the Oval Office has been transferring hundreds of Radical Islamic Terrorists from the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility, for the last 7 years; Obama has been ignoring the fact 30% of released terrorists from the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility have resumed terrorist activities and/or have returned to the battlefield to kill US Military personnel.  Even though the Al Q’ieda and Taliban Terrorists that Obama has been releasing from GITMO are killing and maiming more American military personnel on the battlefield, Obama has been ignoring those facts, because his ultimate goal is to transfer the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay to Castro’s Communist Cuba, regardless of what is required.

 

Obama promised to shut down US Naval Detention Facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba when he took office, and for 7 years he has blocked captured terrorist suspects from being sent to the US Naval Detention Facility in Cuba.  This, coupled with the US Armed Forces closure of the US Military Detention Facility near the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan at the end of 2014, raises questions about the US Armed Forces’ ability to detain suspected Taliban Terrorists captured on the battlefield, under the Authorization for Use of Military Force.  Congressman Hunter inquired of Secretary of Defense Carter how captured Taliban Terrorist are being ultimately dealt with.  Under Obama administration policies, those Taliban Terrorist captured on the battle field (in Afghanistan) are now being transferred to foreign custody.

In the below listed Op Ed by Admiral James A. Lyons, Jr. ’52, USN (Ret), former Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet, he highlights the latest inept directive degrading the strength of the US Armed Forces.  The “Climate Change” directive is the latest inept directive designed to hobble the US Armed Forces.  It is a policy directive among a whole range of the Obama administration’s same inept policies and directives that have been degrading the “Combat Effectiveness” of the US Armed Forces for the last 7 years.  

 

Obama continues to issue these directives, with absolutely no opposition from the Republican Leadership in Congress.  The US Congress has the authority and power to oppose Obama’s steady stream of inept directives designed to hobble the US Armed Forces by using the power of the purse to restrict DOD Undersecretaries, and by ignoring their authority to execute their Constitutional authority, as an equal branch of government, enforcing Article 1., Section 8, Clause 14 of the US Constitution "To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the Land and Naval Forces;" to aggressively oppose such an inept policy directive.

 

Obama’s dangerous polices and blunders over the last 7 years have made the US more vulnerable to the enemies of the Republic as outlined below.  Those actions over the last 7 years by Obama were designed to make sure that the US would no longer be the only Superpower in the world.  The last two Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullins, USN (Ret) and General Martin Dempsey, USA (Ret) did Obama bidding in a steady series of policies changes that have negatively…

An endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, Cong Chris Gibson, Col-USA (Ret) (R-NY-20) co-sponsored a House Bill with Cong Mike Turner (R-OH-10) that will halt the Obama administration’s plans to drawdown the end strength of the US Army and the US Marine Corps.  The bill will actually increase the strength of the US Army by 55,000 personnel.  

“The assumptions have significantly changed,” Cong Gibson told reporters on Wednesday, adding later: “Stay tuned, in the very near future we’re going to have some legislative action come forward, but we think it’s essential … that this drawdown needs to stop, and that the next president make assessments of what the proper level of land forces should be.”

The bill would revise the Army’s planned end-strength goal from 980,000 to 1,035,000, for a total that falls slightly below the Army's pre-Sept. 11, 2001 troop levels, according to Cong Gibson’s spokesman.  The House Bill would also call for Marine Corps end-strength to fall no lower than 184,000.

After Congressional hearing on troop strength, Cong Gibson appeared with Cong Turner at an impromptu press conference where both lawmakers decried the ongoing military drawdown by the Obama administration.  Cong Gibson stated the world is less safe than it was when the Obama administration announced troop cuts, pointing to threats from the Islamic State, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.  

Key Republican lawmakers have decried the Army’s drawdown plans, and in July, when details were first made public, another endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain, (R-AZ-Senate), blasted the force cuts as budget driven.

Hidalgo, Jr., USMC (Ret) who resides in San Diego, CA, served in the US Marine Corps for 31 years and is running for Congress in the 51st Congressional District of California.  

SgtMaj Hidalgo is running for a seat held by two-term Congressman Juan C.

The below listed article was written by Judicial Watch, after Judicial Watch gained access to messages that were on Hillary Clinton’s server, that the US State Department released over the weekend.  Those messages were on then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private server in the basement of her home (which had no security system to shield the thousands of Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, Top Secret (compartmented) messages from being hacked by foreign intelligence agencies.   

 

Hillary Clinton and Obama both knew there was an Iranian sponsored Hezbollah Radical Islamic Terrorist training and operating base 90 miles from the US to initiate terrorist attacks against the US and Latin America, before they remove Cuba from the US State Department’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism.  

 

Before Obama removed Cuba from the US State Department’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism, he had to guarantee to the US Congress there would be no terrorism activities that would emanate from Cuba, and would threaten the Western Hemisphere.  After promulgating another of his bold faced lies, Obama moved rapidly to establish diplomatic relations with the Communist Castro regime.  

 

For 60 years, ten US Presidents refused to approve airline flights to and from Cuban because of their terrorist activities aimed at the US and Latin America.  Obama just approved round-trip US and Cuban airline flights to begin in 2016.  Obama’s dangerous initiative, is a very serious threat to the National Security of the United States.  Obama will allow thousands of passengers to transit to and from Cuba, including many ISIS sympathizers who Obama brought into the US through the UN Muslim Refugee Resettlement Program.  

 

The thousands of ISIS sympathizers already in the US today, will no longer have to travel to the Middle East and Africa to train to kill Christians like the 250+ Muslim…
