With a US population of 350 million Americans to recruit from, the below listed article reports that the Obama administration is continuing to further degrade the “Combat Effectiveness” of another tip of the spear unit by forcing women into US Navy SEAL Teams. The US Armed Forces exists to deter the nations enemies, foreign and domestic, and to win the nations wars, is was not created to become a politically correct organization, in order to give women an opportunity to check off a qualification so they can advance in rank.  

 

Women can definitely perform very important military duties, and in some cases better than men, and they should definitely be assigned to preform those military duties to support the US Armed Forces (among those duties are as pilots in aviation billets, in intelligence, as astronauts, in offensive & defensive missile systems, as para medics, in nuclear weapons, in cyber security, in radar systems, in national security, in law, in medicine, in supply, in satellite communications, in logistics, in maintenance, military police work, high tech computer simulation, finance, and in so many other areas too numerous to list here).  If General Martin Dempsey displayed the competence that previous Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs demonstrated in their decisions making ability over the last 70 years it would have been appreciated by members of the US Armed Forces, instead of always doing the “Politically Correct” thing so not to offend Obama.  Instead of caving in, General Dempsey should have threatened to offer his resignation, unless the Secretary of Navy could demonstrate how integrating women into US Navy SEAL Teams would increase the unit cohesiveness, the tactical integrity, unit moral, and the “Combat Effectiveness” of US Navy SEAL Teams.   

 

General Dempsey should have informed Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, who knows absolutely nothing about how tip of…

The below listed article, posted on the special Operations Speaks Web site, it provides details of what an endorsed and elected Combat Veteran For Congress, Senator Thomas B. Cotton, Cpt-USA (R-AR-Senate) said with regard to the International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Treaty (called an Agreement by Obama).  

 

Senator Cotton has been a leading opponent of that very dangerous agreement, originally Hillary Clinton entered into negotiations with Iran in 2008, and John Kerry completed the agreement when he replaced her as Secretary of State.  The Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement has been termed the worst agreement in US History by the Republican Presidential field of candidates.  

 

Obama has been siding with Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, who has been murdering thousands of Americans for over 35 years, while opposing the United States’ Middle East Sunni allies over the last 70 years, including Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrein, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Morocco.  At the same time Iran has been sheltering Al Q’ieda and the Taliban terrorist fighters in Iran, the leaders of Iran have been leading demonstrators on a weekly basis shouting  “Death to America”, and providing the Taliban with IEDs to kill and maim thousands of US military personnel in Afghanistan.  While that was going on, Obama was facilitating Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, surface to air missiles, and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) that will be able to eventually strike the United States.  

 

Senator Cotton said, “Obama’s disregard for the treaty process is the height of hubris,” he continued  “He mistook his desire for a legacy for a vital national interest.”  Senator Cotton added. “It [is] bad precedent to allow a nuclear arms control agreement with a sworn enemy to go into effect without even a bare majority of support.”

Senator Cotton’s remarks…

When the Pope Francis arrived in the United States, despite the fact that the left of center liberal media establishment has been reporting for many days, how his visit would somehow be very negative for Republicans seeking their nomination for the presidency, that the visit would be very good for Obama, Progressives, Socialists, and Leftists in the Democratic Party because of his heartfelt views of climate change and his support for immigration.  Pope Francis simply shredded the continued misleading reports coming out of the left of center liberal press trying to shape public opinion in favor of Obama----he spoke of the love of Jesus Christ, the importance of the family, his support for traditional marriage, nurturing & protecting life in all stages of development, his opposition to abortion, sharing the gospel, welcoming immigrants, and compassion for the less fortunate.  One of Pope Francis’ major messages was in support of the US Constitution, that the left of center liberal press has been ignoring and Obama continues violating: 

                                                                                                 “Freedom of Religion”

 

The US Armed Forces has been laboring under the relentless attacks by the Obama administration of their God given right under the US Constitution, of their   “Freedom of Religion” which continues to be violated and is under relentless attack by civilian appointees of the Obama administration in the Department of Defense.  Since it is a violation of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, the actions of those civilian appointees in DOD should be prosecuted in US Federal Court by Republican leaders of the House and Senate.  Those relentless attacks have manifested themselves in many different ways over the nearly 7 years Obama has been in office, that the left of center liberal media establishment has been covering up from the…

On September 23, 2015, Cong Kerry Bentivolio, SFC/MI-ANG (R-MI-11) (Ret) (Disabled American Veteran), an endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, who served combat tours in Vietnam and Iraq is now walking and biking 570 miles from Walled Lake, Michigan to Washington DC, in hopes of waking up the American people and Congress on the urgent need to help Veterans in the Republic, to support Veterans Issues, and to request that their Congressional representatives improve Veterans health benefits (23 Veterans/day are committing suicide).

“I saw it firsthand when I was in the service. A fellow Soldier died in a stateside military medical holding unit I was in and nobody noticed for four days,” Bentivolio said. “More than 300,000 American military Veterans likely died while waiting for healthcare, and nearly twice as many are still waiting, according to a new Department of Veterans Affairs Inspector General Report.”

Cong Bentivolio, served as Congressman from 2013 through January 2015, said “talking about the issue has not gotten the Veterans any closer to getting the aid they need.  It is time for action”, he said.

“We have a lot of World War II Veterans who are dying at 80 or 90 years old, but we have Vietnam Veterans who can’t make it past 70 years old. We have Marines that were stationed in Camp Lejeune in the ’50s and ’60s and they found out all that water was contaminated,” Bentivolio said. “Congress said they were going to take care of these guys but they’re not.”

While at home in Michigan, Bentivolio said he realized he could not sit at home and do nothing while Veterans were not given an opportunity to receive the care they need.

“I started walking, and next thing I know I’m 21 miles from home and I said ‘I will walk to Washington (D.C.),’” he said.

While on the trip to D.C., which Bentivolio said he hopes to reach in 30 days, he is talking to people he meets along the way and…

In the below listed policy statement, an endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, Cong Jeff Denham, SSgt-USAF(R-CA-10), expresses his firm opposition to the very dangerous International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement; according to provisions of the US Constitution that Agreement is in fact an International Treaty, not an bill passed in Congress.  Cong Denham stated. “If sanctions are going to be removed, they should only be removed after Iran has earned our trust, with a gradual phasing out of sanctions. We should be able to have our own inspectors and a guarantee that Iran has no intercontinental ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons. Any deal must be verifiable, enforceable, and accountable.” 

Cong Denham went on to say, “Our nation faces greater danger than ever before, because the threat of a nuclear Iran remains all too real.  Iran has been the chief sponsor of terrorism across the globe.  The safety of the American people is not a partisan priority; it is an American priority.  After closely reviewing the details of the unveiled agreement, it is clear that the plan will not adequately deter the threat of a nuclear Iran, nor will it safeguard the well-being of our citizens and the National Security interests of the United States.”

It was recently reported that there are two side provisions to the very dangerous Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement; Obama has kept those two side provisions SECRET from the US Congress and the American people.  It is getting to be standard operating procedure for Obama to keep Agreements, that should be International Treaties, SECRET and hidden from the view of the American people.  Just like the SECRET provisions in the “Unconstitutional” 800 page Fast Track Trade Legislation (TPP), which was authorized by the TPA Bill that Obama signed into law in May 2015.  Provisions in the TPP bill prevents the American people from knowing what trade deals and new immigration…

The Lebanese Education Minister told Prime Minster Cameron of England that two out of every 100 Syrian migrants are ISIS Terrorists being sent "under cover" to attack the West. "It's a very dangerous situation and the world should wake up and do something about that," Elias Bousaab said. "ISIS will not stop at the border with Lebanon."  

 

That may be the tip of the iceberg because 70% of the refugees are young single men, and a recent surveyfound that more than one-fifth of Syrians support ISIS.  One German official who has been receiving thousands of these refugees said yesterday, "At least a quarter of those refugees allegedly coming from Syria are not from Syria, but from other Arab or African countries."  Last year a study published by the RAND Corporation concluded that most significant threat to the United States comes from terrorist groups operating in Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

A Daily Mail: news reporter was able to purchase a Syrian passport, Syrian identity card, and a Syrian driver’s license in a Turkish border town where ISIS Terrorists have been buying those same identity documents with frightening ease, in order to be able to hide among refugees traveling to Europe and eventually to the United States.  The Obama administration has announced that it is offering Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Illegal Aliens from Yemen.   Intelligence agencies have reported that Yemen has emerged as the breeding ground for some of the most high profile plans to attack the United States homeland.  A stunned Homeland Security Official  stated TPS creates an obvious danger to the people of the United States, because the US Government has no way of screening the records or the IDs of Yemeni nationals…

Capt William Keller, USN (Ret)(Seabee) wrote a Letter to The Editor to the San Diego Union Tribune, in response to the Obama administration aggressive effort to push US Marine Corps gender-integration efforts.  The Obama administration, in continuing its destructive Social Experiment on Diversity and Political Correctness that has been underway for nearly 7 years, and it has now turned its efforts to drive gender-integration into the combat arm of US Marine Corps Infantry Branch.  Over nearly 7 years, this very destabilizing and destructive Social Experiment on Diversity has been negatively affecting unit moral, unit cohesiveness, Combat Readiness, and Combat Effectiveness of the US Armed Forces.  

 

Capt Keller wrote the Letter to The Editor because he recalled what his father, a US Navy Gunnersmate Petty Officer during WWII, casually said in a simple comment, about his recollection of a major battle in WWII, during very heavy and sustained combat, “I thought my arms would fall off.”  It hits right at the heart of the inept issues being driven by Obama administration, force feeding women into tip of the spear units, like the US Marine Corps Infantry, the US Army Rangers Battalions, the US Navy SEAL Teams, and the DELTA Force.  

 

Women have been serving with the US military since the War of Independence in 1776, and have done an exceptional job in many areas of the US Armed Forces, they have been courageous in the defense of the Republic; we honor them for their continued exemplary and heroic service.  Qualifying for combat duty, in tip of the spear units, has very little to do with passing a fitness tests modified by Obama’s civilian appointees in the Pentagon; a relative few dedicated fit women who do pass the rigorous fitness tests, will continue and qualify in the specific special programs, but they will not prepared for what next lies ahead in combat.   Being shot at or exposed to…

The below listed critique of the International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement was written by an endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress, Congressman Ryan Zinke, Cdr-USN (Ret) (SEAL) (R-MT-1). In that article, he stated: 

 

“The Iranian nuclear deal is perhaps the greatest national security mistake of our time and represents a clear and present danger to America and our allies.   In just 13 years, the deal would give Iran as many as 100 ICBMs capable of destroying every city in America.“

 

By entering into this International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement Obama is setting the US up to have 100 Iranian ICBM missiles, topped with nuclear weapons, to be aimed at 100 US cities.  Only Democrats in the US Senate are voting for the most dangerous agreement in history of the Republic.  No other US President would have ever agreed to the provisions in that agreement that doesn’t allow for independent inspections of nuclear weapons development.  Over 200 Flag and General Officers have asked Obama not to agree to the Iranian inspection provisions, and oppose the agreement..  

 

Those Democrat Senators are knowingly putting the US in the nuclear cross hairs of the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, a country that has been murdering thousands of Americans for the last 35 years, a country that says every single week publically that it intend to destroy Israel and the United States.  

 

The primary responsibility of an American President is to protect and defend the lives of every Americans.  Unfortunately the extremely dangerous agreement entered into by the occupant in the Oval Office is threatening the lives of the children and grandchildren of every American citizen.  

 

Obama’s actions in facilitating Iran to develop nuclear weapons, to develop Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), and be able to aim those nuclear tipped missiles…

In the below listed article, speaking on the insanity of allowing Iran to self-inspect its own development of nuclear weapons, when the world community has already been aware that Iran has been cheating in the development of its nuclear weapons program for the last 12 years, an endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress, Congressman Lee Zeldin, Maj-USAR (JAG) (R-NY-1), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called attention to the duplicity of the flawed inspection regime, in the final draft of the International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement. 

 

Despite the fact that 79 % of all Americans oppose the dangerous Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement, and despite the fact that Iran’s leader, states on a weekly basis that Iran intends to destroy Israel and The Great Satan (the United States), 41 Democrat Senators have knowingly put the US in the nuclear cross hairs of the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.  Incredulously, while Iran has been killing members of the US Armed Forces with Iranian manufactured road side bombs in Afghanistan, and refuses to release 4 Americans prisoners held on trumped up charges, Obama has ignored those facts, and is partnering up with the largest state sponsor of terrorism, who for the last 37 years, has been murdering more Americans than all the other terrorist groups in the world combined. 

 

In 13 years, Iran will expand the range of its three stage solid propellant Saul Space Rocket, from 2,200 miles, and estimate by 2028 they will develop an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), with an expanded range of 9000 miles.  So 12 years after Obama leaves office, Iran will be able to simultaneously strike 100 cities in the US with their 3 stage solid propellant nuclear tipped ICBMs.  Obama’s negotiation of the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement has put the US in the above stated serious danger---the nation is no in more danger than…

The below listed analysis details how Obama acted without the “consent of the governed” in his approval of the International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement.  The analysis was presented in a speech on the floor of the House by an endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress, Congressman Steve Russell, LTC-USA (Ret) on Tuesday, September 8th.  He outlines how over the last 37 years, Iran sponsored terrorist attacks on Americans, prosecuted its murderous strikes against United States facilities & the allies of the US, and how the current ongoing actions by Iran in killing Americans in Afghanistan and elsewhere are unlikely to change.   Please click on the below listed link to listen to Cong Russell’s mesmerizing speech in the well of the House:

 

http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4550195/congressman-steve-russell-iran-deal-speech

 

Cong Russell discussed how Obama has gone much further than by just urging Congress not to oppose his International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement; Cong Russell is convinced that Obama does not have the Constitution authority to approve the very dangerous International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement, or to send $150 billion to Iran without the consent of the governed, yet Obama is planning on doing it anyway—just as he as has continued to act unlawfully in violation of US Laws signed by previous US Presidents, in violation of the US Constitution, and in violation of US Federal Immigration Laws.  The power of the United States rests in the US Constitution, with the people, and in the States themselves who have the power to continue to uphold the existing and necessary sanctions against the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, the lawless Iranian Terrorist Regime.

The first attack by terrorists on uniformed military personnel in a US Armed Forces Recruiting Center, occurred in March 2008 in Times Square where a bomb was detonated by an attacker, and a security camera recorded a bicycle rider rapidly scrabbling to leave the scene just before the bomb detonated.  Then the US Armed Forces Recruiting Center in Little Rock, Arkansas was attacked in June 2009 by a radical Islamic terrorist, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who shot two soldiers, and killed one of them, PVT William Long, USA.  Then Maj Malik Nadal Hassan, a Radical Islamic Terrorist, killed 15 soldiers and wounded 30 others at Fort Hood. TX on November 5, 2009.  In October and November 2010, there were drive by shootings at two US Armed Forces Recruiting Centers in Northern Virginia, Quantico US Marine Corps Base, and the Pentagon by an Ethiopian Radical Islamic Terrorist, Yonathan Melaku.   

Recently, the FBI reported that callers identifying themselves as Muslims have been threatening the lives of military families in Colorado and Wyoming.  

There have been numerous other terrorist threats and plots against military installations and institutions.  Most recently, on July 16, 2015, there was an attack on uniformed military personnel at the US Armed Forces Recruiting Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee by a Kuwaiti born Radical Islamic Terrorist, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeeza.  The FBI reported that Muhammad Abdulazeeza had traveled to Jordan and Yemen last year, possibly for training, before he murdered four US Marines and a Navy Petty Officer with an AK-47.   

 

Military personnel in uniform at US Armed Forces Recruiting Centers have been targeted by Radical Islamic Terrorist, because they know that the Obama administration has issued Defense Department Directive 5210.56 which prevents military personnel from being armed at US Armed Forces Recruiting Centers.  In the event of an attack by…

For nearly 7 years, American citizens have been told by the Obama administration, the left of center liberal media establishment, pro-Illegal Immigration advocates, La Raza, and the elected Leftists and Socialists in Congress, that it is impossible to deport Radical Islamic Terrorists, drug smugglers, human traffickers, convicted Illegal Alien criminal felons, Central American children carrying infectious diseases, Illegal Alien overstays from 50 countries worldwide, and to prevent the annual massive influx of Mexican Illegal Aliens from entering the United States.  

 

The American citizens have been watching the business as usual & the inaction of the leadership in Congress on Illegal Alien Immigration.  They are determined to no longer put up with elected politicians who do nothing about the Illegal Alien Immigration; the problems resulting from illegal Immigration have reached crisis proportions, resulting in the establishment of Sanctuary Cities, the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars in the cost of welfare/Social Security/food stamps, and in the release of over 116,000 convicted criminal Illegal Mexican Aliens back into the general population by the Obama administration (resulting in hundreds of thousands of American victims being murdered, robbed, burglarized, and flooded with drugs).  The leaders of Congress could employ their legislative powers to build the already funded border wall across the wide open southern border, could employ the power of the purse to cut off financial aid to cities, counties, and states that support Sanctuary City policies, and Congress could file criminal charges in US Federal Courts against employees of DHS, including the Secretary, who continue to violate US Federal Immigration Laws—yet they have not.

By clicking on the below listed link, you will be able to view a message about what happened to Argentina that Congressman Barry M. Goldwater, Jr, the 

Co-Founder and Board of Directors member of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC would like every American Citizen to view.  In the early 20th Century Argentina, like the United States is today, was one of the richest and most economically developed countries in the world.   “Don’ Cry For Me Argentina” was composed in 1976 for the musical “Evita”, it was composed in the same year that the United States was celebrating 200 years of individual freedom and economic prosperity because of the success of The Free Enterprise System.  In 1976, while the US was celebrating, Argentina was in the throes of a civil war, whose seeds of destruction had been planted by Socialists and Progressives who had come to power in Argentina and changed their Free Enterprise System into a Socialist Welfare State.  By 2001, Argentina had a turbulent economic, social, and political crisis that resulted in an extended and severe depression, unsustainable international indebtedness, an unprecedented bank run, and the collapse of its economy. 

 

Like the United States is today, in 1902, Argentina was in a dominant position among the industrial nations of the world and was blessed with an abundance of natural resources.  Eventually the Progressives and Socialists took control of the government of Argentina; they increased taxes every year to unacceptable levels like current US tax policies today, taxed the wealthy & successful business leaders in Argentina oppressively just like Obama and Hillary are aggressively promoting to do in the US today, Argentina provided massive welfare programs for non-working members of society like the Socialists and Progressives in the Obama administration are doing in the US today, Socialists in Argentina provided Socialized medical care for…

For nearly 7 years, American citizens have been told by the Obama administration, the left of center liberal media establishment, La Raza, and the leadership in Congress that it is impossible to build an effective border wall across the wide open southern border, in order to keep out Radical Islamic Terrorists, drug smugglers, human traffickers, convicted Illegal Alien criminal felons, Central American children carrying infectious diseases, Illegal Aliens from 50 countries worldwide, and a to prevent a new influx of Mexican Illegal Aliens from entering the United States.  

 

Although the funding required to build a border wall across the wide open southern border has been funded by Congress, the Obama administration refuses to build an effective border wall.  The San Diego Sector of the Border Wall was built as a result of the pressure placed upon the Department of Homeland Security by retired Congressman Duncan L. Hunter, USA/Ranger, when he was Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and for over the last 9 years the San Diego Sector Border Wall has been proven to be very effective in excluding Illegal Aliens.  

 

The 5500 mile long Great Wall of China that is 21 feet high, was built in 476 BC and was effective for over 1700 years.  In 1953, the DMZ was created and spans the 160 mile wide Korean peninsula; it has been an effective border wall for 63 years.  The 87 mile Berlin Wall was built in 1961 and was a very effective border wall for over 28 years.  In 2004, Israel built a 403 mile border wall that is 25 feet high and has been effective at excluding Radical Islamic Terrorists from entering Israel.  Saudi Arabia is well on its way to completing a 600 mile border wall that has been very effective at excluding Radical Islamic Terrorists from entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; the wall is described in the below listed article.

In the below listed Op Ed, Admiral James L. Lyons, former Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet, highlights a whole range of Obama policies that have intentionally weakened the Republic militarily and economically over the last 6 ½ years, with little opposition from members of the US Congress.  Obama’s dangerous intent to “Change” the very nature of the United States from a Republic to a Socialist State has also been free from exposure because the left of center liberal media establishment has been in league with Obama.  

 

Admiral Lyons exposes the Iranian initiative which Obama and Valerie Jarrett initiated in 2008 to change alliances in the Middle East in favor of Iran.   It didn’t matter that Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, had been killing and maiming thousands of members of the US Armed Forces for the past 35  years and continues in that policy today in Afghanistan—any agreement that didn’t simply demand that Iran stop killing members of the US Armed Forces in Afghanistan is a bad agreement on the face of it.  

 

Iran’s ultimate goal is to destroy the state of Israel, then attack the United States with nuclear weapons atop intercontinental ballistic missiles.  It has taken Obama nearly 7 years, but now it appears Obama and the Democratic side of the isle in Congress are well on their way to facilitating an international agreement to allow Iran to become a nuclear power, while giving them $150 billion to continue their international terrorism.  The agreement permits Iran to be within a danger thrust away from the hearts of the United States’ traditional Sunni allies in the Middle East, who are now developing their own nuclear weapons in self-defense.

Matt Amos spent 10 years in the US Marine Corps.. He was medically retired in 2013, after sustaining the loss of both of his legs in Sangin, Afghanistan in 2011, following multiple combat tours. He spent two years in recovery at the US Naval Medical Center (Balboa), San Diego, CA; where he was able to rehabilitate himself with the help of some of the best US Navy Corpsmen, Navy Nurses, physical therapists, and Navy doctors.  The below listed link at the end of this article relays Matt’s heroic story, and was forwarded by SA Robert M. Hamer, FBI (Ret) USMC, a Marine who works tirelessly to help Wounded Combat Veterans in the US Naval Medical Center (Balboa) and in the Wounded Warrior Battalion West at the US Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, CA.

He still tells everyone he was honored to serve in the US Marine Corps with 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 24th Marine Regiment, and 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Regiment, where he recalls that he served with the finest men and women the nation has to offer. He lost friends in combat, who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Worldwide War on Terrorism.  In honor of those fine men and the memory of their comradery, he continues to press on – despite his life changing injuries – and he does so with a positive attitude, while retaining a passion for serving others. 

Matt has been blessed to receive help from many others during his recovery and transition to civilian life. He created his products, and founded his own company to market Admiral’s pennant.  While Matt operates his company, he has never forgotten, and also volunteers with numerous veteran’s charities and organizations. He is passionate about helping service member’s to transition smoothly into civilian lives, as well as working to raise funds in order to help other wounded combat veterans to help them obtain the same opportunities he received.

Senator Tom Cotton, Cpt-USA, (R-AR-Senate), an endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, has alerted the US Senate that the occupant of the Oval Office, has already violated the International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Treaty (called an Agreement by the inept leadership in Congress) as explained in the below listed article, because portions of the agreement will remain SECRET.  Keeping portions of agreements that Obama enters into with foreign countries, seems to be the way he is able to prevent American citizens from seeing what he is up to, and the Congressional leadership can’t do anything about it.  

 

The Congressional leaders allowed Obama to reverse the Constitution safeguards, put in place by the Founding Fathers, which require a 2/3 vote of Congress, in order to pass the any International Treaty, including the Iranian International Nuclear Weapons Treaty.  Instead the Congress allowed Obama to reverse that process, and are now congress requiring a 2/3 vote, in order to be able to defeat the flawed Iranian International Nuclear Weapons Treaty.   

 

There is also a SECRET side deal in the Unconstitutional International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Treaty, called an Agreement, that the Republican leadership in Congress rammed thru Congress despite the American people’s objections.  It is a SECRET 800 page Fast Track Trade Promotion (TPP) Bill which Obama signed into Law on July 3rd.  The American people still are not being permitted to see what is in that Unconstitutional Fast Track trade Promotional Law; it will undercut current United States Immigration Laws and  Regulations.  It will allow Obama to issue work permits to millions of Illegal Immigrants from 50 countries, to allow them to enter the United States without proper screening by Immigrations Inspectors to determine if they have terrorist ties, where they would compete for scarce jobs with 104 million unemployed American workers…

In President Ronald Reagan’s administration, and for 212 years prior to his Presidency, the amazing and unique US History of the Republic was taught to the nation’s youth in grammar, junior high, and high schools, using US History text school books that documented an accurate record of the Founding Fathers principles and the true US History of the Republic.  Under the Obama administration, the “positive lessons” previously taught about US History, extolling America’s support for human rights, freedom of religion, the value of the Second Amendment, the importance of the US Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and the independence of man from an oppressive government bureaucracy, have been effectively eliminated from US History text books.  

 

Many of the positive events that highlighted the greatness of America’s Founding Fathers, that were previously taught to the nation’s youth in US History classes are no longer taught in the nation’s schools.  The new redacted US History curriculum developed by the Obama administration presents a critical view of the Republic and the Founding Fathers.  An inaccurate version of US History is being force fed to the nation’s youth, at the direction of the Progressive, Left-wing Ideologues, Socialists, and Communists in the Obama administration who now control the education agenda.  They use the power of the purse to control the content of the curriculum in all 50 states, to force the purchase of newly produced inaccurate US History text books on school systems across the nation, and they demand compliance of the 50 State Departments of Education, before they will contribute the federal assistance funds to the 50 state’s Departments of Education.  

 

The Obama administration’s has nationalized school curriculums, and did so without the need to seek a single vote to make such a dramatic change in the politically correct version of US History being…

TPP and TPA violate the US Constitution and eliminates US Sovereignty in favor of International Tribunals.  The Republican leadership ignored the demands of millions of Americans who have been demanding that Congress to reduce illegal immigration by a substantial majority of 3 to 1 in a national opinion poll, and are treating American citizens as if they have no right to know what law they have passed---hiding the fact that it violates the US Constitution.  Even though the Republican Congress controls the power of the purse, Obama has not lost a single major policy battle since Cong Boehner became Speaker of the House in 2010; in fact, Obama is delighted with Boehner’s Speakership.   On July 3rd, when Obama signed the Unconstitutional SECRET TPP/TPA bills into law, Boehner and McConnell were nowhere to be found, they were hiding during the signing ceremony, that law is a thorn in the side of every American voter who worked tirelessly to give the US House a conservative majority.

Both Democrat and Republican Congressmen received of over $200 million in payments from the International Chamber of Commerce to vote for the TPA Bill (the US Chamber of Commerce is no longer a US Chamber, most members are now anti-American foreign corporations who control the Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader with financial payoffs).  If the TPA Bill hadn’t passed, the provisions in the SECRET TPP Bill stated it would not have become effective.  Millions of…

It has been twenty-six years, since the American people lived through the Reagan Revolution; and took it for granted that the nation was safe from the domestic threats.  The American people have watched their once safe environment dramatically change over the nearly 7 years that the Obama administration has been in control, there are now dangerous activities that threaten the stability of the nation being conducted by Progressives, Leftists, Marxists, Communist, Black Nationalists, convicted criminal Illegal Aliens, and ISIS Radical Islamic Terrorist.  Domestic enemies have gained strength as they actively try to destabilize the Republic; at the same time the Obama administration is working to effect “CHANGE” in The Free Enterprise System by promoting Socialism.  

 

America was fortunate to have a steadfast and Patriotic leader like President Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office for 8 years.  He learned from his long life experience and the lessons of history, how to best protect the nation, and carefully guided the Ship of State thru the shoal waters of a dangerous world at the onset of his Presidency.  President Reagan always supported the Judeo/Christian principles upon which the Founding Fathers framed the US Constitution for the Republic in 1776.  Under President Reagan’s leadership, the nation followed US Federal Immigration Regulations signed into Laws by previous Presidents, and he always protected and defended the US Constitution.   

 

In Ronald Reagan’s Presidency, and for 212 years prior to his Presidency, the amazing and unique US History of the Republic was taught to the nation’s youth in grammar schools, using school books that relayed an accurate record of founding principles and US History.  Under the current administration, many of the “positive lessons” previously taught in the US History curriculum in grammar schools, extolling America’s support for human rights,…

Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States between 1981 and 2005 has written the below listed damning column, in which he compares the Iranian Nuclear deal to the failed nuclear weapons deal with North Korea---and concludes it will have even worse consequences.  The reader doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to fully understand—Obama is knowingly entering into a very bad and DANGEROUS deal for the America people. 

Prince Bandar stated, with regard to the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement that Obama has damned the United States with, “the strategic foreign policy analysis, the national intelligence information, and America’s allies in the region’s intelligence, all predict not only the same outcome of the North Korean nuclear deal, but (it will be) worse---with billions of dollars that Iran will have access to.”

 

It is now obvious that Saudi Arabia, in self-defense, will develop its own Nuclear Weapons Program, and other pro-western Middle East allies like Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Kuwait, etc. will follow suite.  By entering into the flawed Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement, Obama has assured Iran that it will be able to develop nuclear weapons, and by doing so he has created a nuclear weapons arms race in the Middle East.

 

Obama has been working closely with the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, a terrorist regime that has been killing Americans for 35 years, and is determined to destroy the United States and Israel.  Unfortunately, SECRET provisions that no member of Congress will ever be permitted to read has been agreed to by Obama.  The SECRET provisions of the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement is another attempt by Obama to bypass the US Congress, just like he bypassed the will of the American voters with the SECRET Fast Track Trade Promotional Law(TPP).

 

The Republican leadership in the House and Senate struck another deal with Obama to allow Obama to refer to…

In March of this year, as reported in the below listed article by TPM Livewire, Senator Thomas B. Cotton, Cpt-USA (R-AR-Senate), an endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, sent an open letter to the leaders of Iran, cosigned by 47 US Senators, that said a “flawed nuclear arms agreement” would be dangerous to the United States, and would be nullified by the US Congress.

Senator Cotton, an Iraq Combat Veteran, has been the most vocal opponent of a nuclear agreement with Iran.  In his recent appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show, Senator Cotton came out swinging, and took issue with the fact that the agreement allows  "where necessary, when necessary" inspections of Iran's nuclear sites rather than "anytime, anywhere" access to those sites, he recently stated:

"This proposed deal is a terrible, dangerous mistake that's going to pave the path for Iran to get a nuclear weapon while also giving them tens of billions of dollars of sanctions relief, even lifting the arms embargo at a time when they're destabilizing the entire middle east," 

 

The American people stand with Senator Cotton in opposition to this flawed Nuclear Weapons Agreement:

 

President Reagan famously said in his negotiations with Russia, “Trust, but Verify.”

 

The American people watched Obama negotiated for three years, while Iran continued to cheat on every agreement they entered into, and as recently as 4 days ago they chanted:

“Death to America”  

 

“There is No Trust” 

 

Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, has been killing thousands of Americans for 35 years, and the flawed Nuclear Weapons Agreement Obama is entering into with Iran gives a 24 day notice, before anyone can inspect any nuclear development facility in Iran, and it precludes the inspection of any military facilities.  There is:

 

“There is Absolutely No Verification”

 

The language in the agreement states…

My Fellow Americans,

 

     The most important Congressional election in 240 years will take place in 2016.  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 Socialism.   

    The results of the election will determine whether Obama’s vision of allying the Republic with Iran is fulfilled, or if the US will continue to support and protect its traditional Middle Eastern allies that the US has supported and worked with for over seven decades.  

     The election will determine if Christians in the U S Armed Forces will be protected from discrimination they are faced with for the first time in US history, and if Christians in the Middle East will finally be defended from the genocide being perpetrated by ISIS, Al Q’ieda, and other Radical Islamic Terrorists. 

     This election will determine if repeated violation of the US Constitution and Federal Immigration Laws will be allowed to continue, if 300 sanctuary cities, counties, & states will be permitted to violated Federal Immigration Laws to shielding over 160,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens released into the general population by Obama,  and if the porous southern border will finally be closed like the San Diego Border Sector has been securely closed for many years.  

      The election in 2016 will determine if the reckless spending and taxing by irresponsible members of Congress will continue, or if responsible Congressmen will be elected to rein in the out of control spending that is driving the National Debt up to $20 trillion.  

     The 2016 election will determine if the unilateral disarmament of the US Armed Forces will continue, or if the newly-elected Combat Veterans For Congress will put a halt to the hollowing out of the US military.

In previous Congresses, Congressman Duncan D. Hunter, Maj-USMCR (R-CA-52), an endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, repeatedly tried, without success, to get the Republican leadership in the House to support his legislation penalizing safe harbor sanctuary cities, counties, and states for violating Federal Immigration Laws.  The below listed Breitbart News article, explains Cong Hunter’s proposed legislation, and provides information on the murder of Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco, by Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez, a convicted criminal illegal alien who had 7 previous felony convictions, and had been deported from the United States 5 times.

The Obama administration, inept members of Congress on both sides of the isle, and the left of center liberal media establishment have been covering up the thousands of crimes committed by convicted criminal illegal aliens against American citizens in 300 + safe harbor sanctuary cities, counties, and states.  Sanctuary policies are providing protection for Mexican drug cartels smuggling narcotics, violent criminal gangs from below the wide open southern border like MS-13, Mexican human smugglers, and convicted criminal illegal aliens whose presence in the USA has been harmful and dangerous to American citizens.   Those foreign criminal illegal aliens migrate to, and operate in safe harbor sanctuary cities, counties, and states; they are, for the most part, immune from deportation by ICE and from arrest from local & state law enforcement officers.  Local, county, state, and federal politicians who protect criminal illegal aliens, who have been injuring and killing American citizens every day throughout the nation, only view the victims of vicious crimes as “collateral damage” that are acceptable to them, because it would be politically incorrect to condemn them publically. 

 

Congressman Hunter said in an interview that he will re-draft and re-introduce his bill penalizing sanctuary cities, counties, and…

From 2009 to the present,  Obama, with the guidance of Valerie Jarrett, has been involved in clandestine negotiations with Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.  Americans will recall that on November 4, 1979 Iran “Declared War on the United States” when it invaded the US Embassy in Tehran and took all the Americans in the Embassy as hostages—Jimmy Carter did nothing.  Since then, for over 35 years, Iran has been killing thousands of Americans.    

For 6 years, while Iran was employing Iranian manufactured Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to kill and maim (for life), thousands of members of the US Armed Forces, Obama has been involved in secret back channel negotiations in Oman, not negotiating to stop Iran from employing Iranian manufactured IEDs to kill members of the US Armed Forces, or in  negotiations to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.  

 

For over 3 years, Obama has continued to lie to the American people, by saying first Hillary Clinton and then John Kerry have been engaged in negotiations to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons; nothing could be further from the truth.   Obama has only been interested in normalizing diplomatic relations with Iran, regardless of the cost to the lives of US military personnel in combat over a 6 year period,  regardless whether it resulted in giving Iran nuclear weapons to put atop its intercontinental ballistic missiles.

 

Please read the below detailed report of the treacherous activity that began with Hillary Clinton, and continues with John Kerry, their treachery is chronicled in The Wall Street Journal, the Western Journal, The Weekly Standard, and in the Associated Press news  read a new article  written by Journalists Mathew Lee and Bradley Klapper.  The Obama’s clandestine activity have been…

 What good fortune for governments that the people do not think."- Adolf Hitler

The majority of elected members of Congress "do think", but have not employed vigorous Congressional oversight to oppose the multiple dangerous programs the consortium of Obama, his 45 un-elected Czars, and the 70 member Socialist/Progressive/Communist Congressional Caucus have put in place for over 6 ½ years, in order to "CHANGE" the Republic into a Socialist Welfare State.  That consortium has loosened up qualifications for welfare, to make it very easy to issue Food Stamps to  46 million illegal immigrants and non-working  Americans, by imposing the highest corporate taxes in the world on US Corporation that have driven them out of the United States, "CHANGED" the most successful medical system in the world into a Social Welfare Medical System with the highest medical insurances rates in US history (40 million low income Americans still have no health insurance at all), created 163,333 pages of anti-business and oppressive environmental regulationsthat are destroying the Free Enterprise System, and is spending 71% of the national budget on entitlements and interest on the debt. Obama, Clinton, Kerry, and Valerie Jarrett have turned the US away from the NATO and Middle East allies it had for 75 years, to support Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, to develop nuclear weapons. At the same time, Obama is courting very warm relationships with Communist Vietnam, Communist Cuba, Communist Russia, Communist China, and Marxist Venezuela.  Obama's support for Communism, would make Frank Marshal Davis, Secretary of the Communist Party USA, who was Obama's teacher/mentor every day after school for 10 years, very proud.  The Republican leadership of Congress has said nor done nothing while the Obama realigns US support away from democratic and pro-western allies to close ties with Communist allies. Democratic members of Congress, with the help of the Republican… more

Each Fourth of July and throughout the year, Americans express their support for the freedoms they enjoy and for the unlimited opportunities they have to improve their station in life because of The Free Enterprise System.  The Fourth of July is also an opportunity for each Patriotic American to celebrate a second birthday.  

Countless generations of Americans fought for and under the American Flag.  The American Flag symbolizes the unity of the American people, is flown on national holidays, and symbolizes the principles upon which the Founding Fathers established the Republic, in signing the Declaration of Independence 239 years ago. 

 

On the Fourth and every day, Americans continue to demonstrate their support for Military Veterans, members of the US Armed Forces who swore to protect and defend the US Constitution, and proudly served in the defense of the Republic, under the American Flag.  

 

At one point in their lives, Americans who served in the US Armed Forces, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives.”  The courage demonstrated by Combat Veterans who served in the defense of the Republic, can be appropriately described by a quote, made in 352 BC, by King Philip of Macedonia:

 

           “Here is courage, mankind’s finest possession.  Here is the noblest prize.”

Very few of the elected members of Congress have taken action to oppose the multiple programs that the Obama administration, Obama’s 45 un-elected Czars, and his 70 member Socialist/Progressive/Communist Caucus have been promoting for the last 6 ½ years, in their well-coordinated plans to “CHANGE” and transform the Republic to a Socialist State.  Those plans include violating Federal Immigration Laws, undercutting the authority of law enforcement officers, leaving the southern border wide open, and issuing unlawful orders to DHS to prevent ICE Agents from apprehending Illegal aliens for deportation.   

On a regular basis, over a  6 ½ year period, the Obama administration has been releasing  thousands of “Convicted” criminal illegal aliens into the general population.  The Republican leadership in Congress have done nothing to stop the destabilizing release of a total of 165,900 convicted criminal illegal aliens into the general population.  Despite repeated requests by County Sheriffs to DHS where the convicted criminal illegal aliens were being released, the Obama administration has refused to provide that information to state, county, and local law enforcement agencies.  Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) called it the "Worst 'Prison Break' in History”, a prison break sanctioned by the Obama administration.  Those repeated lawless releases have not only been overloading federal, state, county, and local law enforcement agencies, those releases have been creating new and violent criminal activity in cities across the nation.  

 

By repeatedly releasing 165,900 convicted criminal illegal aliens, and also releasing 706,950 detained illegal aliens who had violated…
