Strangest Marriage In History... "Evangelical Christians" To Donald Trump

When better men are available

Common Sense Commentary:  In the pivotal year 2008, black Evangelical Christians saw a vision in the desert and lost their spiritual compass. The vision was of a sea of cool, clear, fresh water, "hope" for their thirst and "change" from the hot dry sand. The vision appeared to be Martin Luther King's "dream" for black Americans ... but the dream was now in a person ... Barack Hussein Obama. So desperate were they that almost all dropped their empty canteens and rushed toward the vision of bright, shinning mirage, water ... but the farther they ran, the faster the mirage retreated ... out of reach. Now, after 8 years, they are farther away from the illusion, with less jobs and less "hope", and unwanted "change", than they had before they were deluded by a cool water imposter.

Now, 8 years later, its our turn. Half of America's disillusioned, angry but white Evangelical, "professing" Christians, have seen a different mirage ...a sea of fresh water, "hope and change", in that same hot, dry, Socialistic desert, but this time its Donald Trump. Like their black brothers and sisters, they have lost their spiritual compass, so desperate are they for relief, "hope and change". Now, they too are running, in desperation, toward the illusion, a shimmering mirage of deliverance ... and hope ... where there is no hope. "When heaven is shut up ... there is no rain...." 1 Kings 8:35.

"Withhold thy ... throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go." Jer.2:25. "And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart." Jer.18:12.

It is always difficult to do the right thing, but always right ... and always better in the end. I can only "hope" and pray that if Trump is elected that God will turn his heart and use him as He did King Nebuchadnezzar and King Cyrus in their dealings with the Jews. And, remember, "all things (still) work together for good to those who love the Lord...." RB

3 questions evangelicals should 
ask about Donald Trump

John Stemberger
This column contains language (redacted) that might be considered offensive to some readers.

We are experiencing something extraordinary in American politics: A man who has never held public office appears to have become a force of nature this election cycle, and he is achieving this, according to polls, with no small amount of support from evangelical Christians. The really puzzling thing is that Donald Trump defies every stereotype of a candidate you would typically expect Christians to vote for. How much does the average evangelical Christian supporting Trump know about his history? Very little, it would seem. Many are content to follow the no-nonsense persona, rather than dig into Trump's past record. Trump professes to be a Christian and says the Bible is his favorite book. While we should not judge a man's heart or motive, we can and should evaluate his words and actions. Therefore, there are three questions I believe all evangelical Christians should ask themselves before supporting Donald Trump for President.

(1) What is known about Trump's personal life and morality? If elected, Trump would be the first president to:

Be married three times to different women, leaving each for the next woman.

Be proud of his sexually liberalities, openly stating in his book "Think Big: Make it Happen in Business and Life" that he has had sex with some of the "top women in the world."

Build and own casinos, including the first American casino ever to have a strip club that allows lap dancing and an all-male revue club for women.

Regularly use the f-word in public speeches along with other obscenities so vulgar network television would be required to bleep out these words to avoid violating Federal Communications Commission rules.

State publicly that he has never asked for God's (or anyone else's), forgiveness and that he doesn't forgive.

Have said about his daughter on that "if Ivanka were not my daughter, I would be dating her."

Give America a first lady who has posed in the nude.

Use bankruptcy laws four times for failed business dealings.

Openly advocate for revenge, "as viciously and as violently as you can."

Publicly call various women "dogs," "fat and ugly," "piece of a--," "pigs," "bitch," ("TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald," 2005) and said you "have to treat em like sh--."

(2) Where does Trump stand on moral and social policy issues of concern to Christians and to which the Bible speaks to clearly? On many issues, Trump is saying the right things in terms of public policy. He presents himself broadly as a conservative on abortion, same-sex marriage, radical Islam and other social issues. But one of the best indicators of a politician's future behavior is his record on issues.

On abortion, in 1999, during a national television interview, Trump stated: "Well, I'm very pro-choice. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. I cringe when I listen to people debate the subject. But, you still, I just believe in choice."

Again in 1999, Trump stated to the Associated Press, "I believe it is a personal decision that should be left to the women and their doctors."

In his book, "The America We Deserve," Trump stated, "I support a woman's right to choose, but I am uncomfortable with the procedures."

In 2011, Trump said he changed his mind on the issue of abortion but still supports abortion in the case of rape, incest and life of the mother.

He also said he supports "the good aspects" of funding Planned Parenthood.

Trump also favors gay rights and same-sex marriage laws "that guaranteed same-sex couples equal legal rights as married, heterosexual couples."

Trump also opposed the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, the military's prior ban on openly gay service members.

Gregory T. Angelo, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, an advocacy group for gay Republicans, has said of Trump, "He is one of the best, if not the best, pro-gay Republican candidates to ever run for the presidency," and that Trump would do no harm on same-sex marriage, and has a "stand-out position" on nondiscrimination legislation.

How do we square his liberal record on social issues with his "sounding conservative?" How can we trust that what he is saying today is what he will actually do tomorrow?

(3) Are the love of money and pride legitimate issues to weigh when considering support for a presidential candidate?

First, the Bible is very clear that "the love of money" -- not money itself -- is "the root of all evil."

But Donald Trump is also very clear -- he really loves money. In fact, he has reminded us over and over again, relishing and boasting in how "really rich" he is.

Trump's TV show "The Apprentice" even used the O'Jays' song "For the Love of Money" as the theme song.

It's not often that the Bible speaks with such clarity on what is evil. How heavily should a Christian voter considering supporting Trump take into account his love of money?

Secondly, Scripture declares "God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble." Proverbs says that "everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord."

Trump is not just proud. He is proud of being proud. But don't take my word for it. Just listen to most any speech he gives. Trump has said, "part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich."

All of us are sinners in need of grace. But what are we to do with a professing Christian who is openly proud and brags about his sin and who wants other Christians to trust and support him to be our next president?

I do not believe every Christian has a moral duty to only vote for Christians. In the Bible, God used even evil leaders for his purposes. But when a choice is given, should evangelical Christians choose to elect a man I believe would be the most immoral and ungodly person ever to be president of the United States? (I have to disagree with that last statement. The Clintons, Obamas and Bernie Sanders, get that distinction. RB)

There are times I read a verse from scripture and wonder whether God looked into the portals of time and breathed out very specific words for a certain time in history. I believe II Timothy 3 is such a verse for today: "But understand this, that in the last days terrible times will come. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."

Trump says, "I don't have to ask God for forgiveness"

Common Sense Commentary: Donald Trump, like the rest of us, is to some degree, the product of the environment in which he was raised and developed into what he is today. To repeat a recent phrase from Ted Cruz, Trump is a product of "New York Values". That is obvious to anyone with  any spiritual perception at all. But Trump can't help that; he was born there. His greatest "New York Values" asset seems to be making money, which is better than not making it. His blindness to his need for repentance is not dishonesty but ignorance of the supreme righteousness of God and his own, human unrighteousness."For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God...." Rom.3:23. And Jesus said, "I tell you ... except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3. Trump has no concept of his desperate need for Christ in his life. But, what do we expect of an unredeemed sinner ... to act, speak and live a Christian life when he is not a Christian? He is not aware of his need for repentance. We Christians need to pray for this man's soul and the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. You see, the thing Trump is missing, he doesn't know he is missing. He thinks he has everything worth having, money, fame, power, intelligence, and good looks ... from his point of view. His own words betray him in the absence of the one thing he doesn't have, which he "thinks" he has ... in his own words, "a good relationship with God". But he isn't alone in this respect. In today's "everything goes" world, very few people have "a good relationship with God" unless they are still on their knees and have just that moment repented. Oh, there is an abundance of "religious" folks and people who wear crosses and go to church ... but that is not what makes for "a good relationship with God", as trump claims to have. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are members of Baptist Churches in good standing. Obama was a 20 year member of Trinity United Church Of Christ in Chicago whose pastor, Wright, said, "God damn America". But neither does that make for "a good relationship with God". Trump says he has nothing to repent of. I am an 85 year old preacher who spent my life studying and teaching the Bible, and I have to repent of my sins every day, throughout the day, to God. I would choke on my words if I said, "I have nothing to repent of". Trump's employees report that he is very generous to them, but it is obvious to most of us that he is mean as the devil to his opponents. But, without Christ, you or I may be the same way. Frankly, I would rather have an unsaved Trump as president than Baptists, Jimmy Carter, Bill or Hillary Clinton, Zero Joe Biden, atheist Sanders, Muslim Obama or any other Democrat or "establishment" Republican. Is Trump "pandering" to Evangelicals? Of course he is, as are most of the other candidates. I don't blame Trump for "pandering" I blame Christians for gobbling it up. CNN Politics reported, Trump, who previously said he's never asked God for forgiveness, told reporters he attends church "as often as I can, a lot" and attends different churches since he travels so much. Yeah, I'll bet. Cruz is still the better man and doesn't pander but relates to Evangelicals. He is one of us. His home church is Houston's First Baptist.  


Trump Insists He Has Done 
Nothing To Repent Of...To God

The Daily Wire News by Ben Shapiro

In the latest polls, Donald Trump has been running approximately even with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) among white evangelical voters. This is no doubt due to Trump’s deep religiosity and conversant knowledge of the Bible, as well as his adherence to New and Old Testament precepts..... Or not

There are plenty of solid indicators that Trump doesn’t take (the) Bible particularly seriously. Aside from botching references to “two Corinthians,” refusing to answer questions about his favorite Bible verse (“I wouldn’t want to get into it, because to me, that’s very personal”), and then finally citing verses from Proverbs that don’t actually exist (“the chapter ‘never bend to envy’”), Trump’s odd insistence that he never repents before God boggles religious minds.

He recently told CNN’s Anderson Cooper: "I like to do the right thing where I don’t actually have to ask for forgiveness. Does that make sense to you? You know, where you don’t make such bad things that you don’t have to ask for forgiveness. I mean, I’m trying to lead a life where I don’t have to ask God for forgiveness….Why do I have to repent? Why do I have to ask for forgiveness if you’re not making mistakes?" 

Here are a couple of things for which Trump might want to repent.

Bragging About His ‘Experiences’ With Married Women. In Trump: The Art Of The Comeback, Trump writes, “If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller (which it will be anyway!). I’d love to tell all, using names and places, but I just don’t think it’s right.” In that same book, he wrote of an experience in which a married woman “started petting me in all different ways. I looked at her and asked, ‘Is everything all right?’ I didn’t want to make a scene in a ballroom full of five hundred VIPs. The amazing part about her was who she was – one of the biggest of the big. She then asked me to dance, and I accepted. While we were dancing she became very aggressive, and I said, ‘Look, we have a problem. Your husband is sitting at the table, and so is my wife.’ ‘Donald,’ she said, ‘I don’t care. I just don’t care. I have to have you and I have to have you now.’ I told her that I’d call her, but that she had to stop the behavior immediately….This is not infrequent, it happens all the time.” We can only hope this story was not about Hillary Clinton.

Cheating On His Own Wife. In Trump: Surviving At The Top, Trump writes, “I even thought, briefly, about approaching [first wife] Ivana with the idea of an ‘open marriage.’ But I realized there was something hypocritical and tawdry about such an arrangement that neither of us could live with – especially Ivana. She’s too much of a lady.” His relationship with Ivana ended after Trump apparently put up future second wife Marla Mapes, with whom he was reportedly having an affair, at the same hotel as Ivana, and Ivana found out about it.

Trump Brags About His 'Great Relationship With God'.

What Would a Donald Trump Presidency Look Like?  Support for Partial-Birth Abortion. Trump supported partial-birth abortion – the murder of the unborn up to the point of birth – until some unspecified point in the recent past, when he decided he was pro-life. At the very least, he ought to repent of this position. Trump continues to maintain that abortion isn’t murder and that there are “caveats” to his pro-life position.

Trump’s evangelical support comes from the same place as his other support: dissatisfied voters who seek an out-of-the-box champion to fight against the establishment. But Trump’s ridiculous pandering to Christians should be seen for just what it is: pandering.

A Very Interesting Viewpoint On Cruz/Trump From Elaine Merritt

Common Sense Commentary:

I completely agree with the article below ... the probability that what they and Elaine say, is what the establishment Republicans (RINO's) have in mind. But, if Bloomberg throws his hat in the ring, all bets are off. As an Independent, He will garner a large percentage of the GOP's most Liberal Republicans plus the Democrat Party's lessor Liberals, who are even farther to the left than any in the GOP. This would reshuffle the deck in a whole new game and tempt Trump farther to the left and put Communist, Bernie Sanders  into a spiral tail spin, if he is the Demo Candidate. Hillary may not survive. But it might help Cruz because he isn't going one inch to the left. If Bloomberg is going to join the fray, I hope he does it soon before the Caucases gain speed in an irreversible trend. His entrance would help Cruz, but not Trump because Trump is pulling a lot of Blumberg type Democrats and Republicans. If Donald is the Trump suit, Bloomberg is the wild card, Joe Biden is the joker, Hillary is the discard, Bernie Sanders is the deuce, and Cruz is the ace of trumps.

Elaine Merritt,  whose family I pastored for many years,
is a Conservative Patriot who also writes  a lot of 
political commentary from a strong Christian point of
view. She sent this post out this week. Her comment on 
an article in the New York Times is worthy of repeating.  

"...Of course, this willingness to 
accommodate Mr. Trump is 
driven in part by the fact that 
few among the Republican 
professional class believe he 
would win a general election. In 
their minds, it would be better 
to effectively rent the party to 
Mr. Trump for four months this 
fall, through the general 
election, than risk turning it 
over to Mr. Cruz for at least 
four years, as either the 
president or the next-in-line 
leader for the 2020 nomination.

Donald Trump or Ted Cruz? Republicans Argue Over Who Is Greater Threat

By JONATHAN MARTIN 

WASHINGTON — With Donald J. Trump and Senator Ted Cruz battling for the Republican nomination, two powerful factions of their party are now clashing over the question: Which man is more dangerous?

Conservative intellectuals have become convinced that Mr. Trump, with his message of nationalist-infused populism, poses a dire threat to conservatism, and released a manifesto online Thursday night to try to stop him.

However, the cadre of Republican lobbyists, operatives and elected officials based in Washington is much more unnerved by Mr. Cruz, a go-it-alone, hard-right crusader who campaigns against the political establishment and could curtail their influence and access, building his own Republican machine to essentially replace them.

The division illuminates much about modern Republicanism and the surprising bedfellows brought about when an emerging political force begins to imperil entrenched power.

The Lights Are Going Out All Over Europe

We will be next if we don't stop it now...

Common Sense Commentary: It is true we may not can stop the Muslims from turning Europe into Muslim dominated countries with Sharia Law, Mosques and Islamic Governments, but in the name of God ...it is wicked not to try. RB

This 7 year old speech was quite prophetic.  I remember when it was first sent out on the internet.  Many thought this guy was over reacting like Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh spoke out about Clinton and Obama.  A voice in the wilderness crying out!!!!!! Comment by our friend, Jim Hoch.

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party  for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York,  introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing  Jihad Conference in Jerusalem. The Lights are Going Out All Over Europe Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of  Parliament In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: "Who  lost Europe?" 


"Dear Friends, Thank you very much for  inviting me.  I come to America with a mission.  All  is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger  looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.

We might be in  the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This not  only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe  itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the  West.  The United States as the last bastion of Western  civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe  the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few  things about Islam.  To close I will tell you about a  meeting in Jerusalem. The Europe you know is  changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But in  all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your  tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of  the parallel society created by Muslim  mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is  rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous  people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might  regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of  head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with  baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or  slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques  on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot  read.  You will be hard-pressed to find any economic  activity.  These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious  fanatics.  These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are  mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the  building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger  portions of Europe, street by street, neighborhood by  neighborhood, city by city. There are now thousands of  mosques throughout Europe With larger congregations than there  are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to  build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region.  Clearly, the signal is: we rule. Many European cities are  already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseilles and  Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18  population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of  Muslim neighborhoods.  Mohammad is the most popular name  among boys in many cities. In some elementary schools in  Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that  would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult  to Muslims. Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark  only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam  gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim  women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not  pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of  origin. In France school teachers are advised to avoid  authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and  Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of  the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim  sensitivity. In England sharia courts are now officially  part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France  are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man  almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels,  because he was drinking during the Ramadan. Jews are  fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave  of anti-Semitism since World War II.  French is now  commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel.  I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about  Islamization. A total of fifty-four million Muslims now  live in Europe. San Diego University recently calculated that a  staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim  just 12 years from now.  Bernhardt Lewis has predicted a  Muslim majority by the end of this century. Now these are  just numbers.  And the numbers would not be threatening if  the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But  there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported  that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as  greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French  Muslims do not object to suicide attacks.  The British  Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British  Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate   Muslims demand what they call 'respect'.  And this is how  we give them respect.  We have Muslim official state  holidays. The Christian-Democratic attorney general is  willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim  majority. We have cabinet members with passports from  Morocco and Turkey. Muslim demands are supported by  unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random  violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers,  to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the  low-income suburbs, the banlieus.  I call the perpetrators  settler's. Because that is what they are.  They do not  come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our  society into their Dar-al-Islam.  Therefore, they are  settlers. Much of this street violence I mentioned is  directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native  people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their  countries.  Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to  be ignored. The second thing you need to know is the  importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example  to all Muslims and cannot be criticized.  Now, if Mohammed  had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother  Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed  was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several  marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he  fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had  prisoners of war executed. Mohammad himself slaughtered the  Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza.  If it is good for Islam, it  is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad. Let no one  fool you about Islam being a religion.  Sure, it has a god,  and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a  political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules  for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate  every aspect of life.  Islam means 'submission'.   Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what  it strives for is Sharia.  If you want to compare Islam to  anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these  are all totalitarian ideologies. Now you know why Winston  Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world',  and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has  wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees  Israel as the aggressor.  I have lived in this country and  visited it dozens of times.  I support Israel.  First,  because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of  exile up to and including Auschwitz.  Second because it is  a democracy.  And third because Israel is our first line of  defense. This tiny country is situated on the fault line  of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance.  Israel  is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the  Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and  Aceh in Indonesia.  Israel is simply in the way.  The  same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War. The war  against Israel is not a war against Israel.  It is a war  against the West.  It is jihad.  Israel is simply  receiving the blows that are meant for all of us.  If there  would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found  other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest.  Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army  and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep  well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming. Many in  Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address  the grievances of our Muslim minorities.  But if Israel  were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to  the West.  It would not mean our Muslim minorities would  all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our  values.  On the contrary, the end of Israel would give  enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam.  They would,  and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West  is weak, and doomed.  The end of Israel would not mean the  end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would  mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they  can get Israel, they can get everything.  So-called  journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islam as a  'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'.  In my country, the  Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass  immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since  World War II.  And another 60 percent sees Islam as the  biggest threat.  Yet there is a greater danger than  terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man  standing.  The lights may go out in Europe faster than you  can imagine.  An Islamic Europe means a Europe without  freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual  nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its  allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs.   With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to  preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem Dear  friends, Liberty is the most precious of gifts.  My  generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered  to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with  their lives.  All throughout Europe, American cemeteries  remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose  memory we cherish.  My generation does not own this  freedom; we are merely its custodians.  We can only hand  over this hard won liberty to Europe's children in the same  state in which it was offered to us.  We cannot strike a  deal with mullahs and imams.  Future generations would  never forgive us.  We cannot squander our liberties.   We simply do not have the right to do so. We have to take  the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

America's Watchdogs Are Snarling, Sirens Wailing And Angelic Trumpeter Arising

Common Sense Commentary: The only remedy for a hopelessly troubled world...
"And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Matt.24:31.

It is midnight and the watchdog is in high alert mode, barking at maximum volume, snarling in rage at something in the living room. The faithful watchdog's rage even sets off the alarm system which also turns on the lights and the sirens begin to wail their warning that something big is in the living room threatening the sleepers. The homeowner jumps wobbly out of bed, staggers to the living room door to see what is there. But the thing is so big, as big as a massive gray mastodon, all hairy with tusks as of tree trunks and an elephant type nose trunk sucking up everything in the house including the air. The sleepy-eyed, disheveled homeowner blinks with relief and heads back to bed, seeing nothing worthy of disturbing his sleep... just a small swishing gray tail hanging on a rough gray wall of mastodon hindermost hyde. When, in truth, that hindermost part of this mammoth "elephant in the room" is not Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Inflation, Deflation, even Terrorism, Muslim infiltration or Illegal immigration. This huge, fiscal and physical elephant in the room, which economists, politicians, News Media and nobody else, seems to see, but which our watchdog is barking at is Derivative Leverage exposure of the big banks. If that doesn't sound very dangerous ... If it sounds like negative thinking, fine ... but it is the truth. Read this USAWatchdog article by Greg Hunter if you want to know what the elephant in the room is.

Four Biggest Banks in America 

have Huge Leverage

By Greg hunter’s USAWatchdog.com 

I keep hammering away at the fact the Fed doled out $16 trillion in the wake of the credit crisis of 2008.  This is an enormous sum that is greater than the all goods and services produced in the U.S. in a single year.  Domestic banks and companies got the money, right along with foreign banks and companies.  In effect, the Federal Reserve bailed out the world financial system.  Now, we are right back to square one facing another financial meltdown with European banks and sovereign debt.  If the Fed spent $16 trillion, why in the heck is this problem not fixed and why isn’t the world economy taking off like a rocket?”  The simple answer is it wasn’t enough money.

The Bank of International Settlements pegs the total world over-the-counter (OTC) derivative exposure at around $600 trillion, but many experts say the real figure is more than twice that amount.  No matter which figure you use, it is a gargantuan sum.  OTC derivatives are an unregulated dark pool of money with no public market.  These are basically debt bets between two entities on things such as credit risk, currencies, interest rates and commodities.  According to the latest report from the Comptroller of the Currency, just four U.S. banks have an eye popping $235 trillion of OTC derivative leverage. 

(Click here for the complete Comptroller of the Currency report.)  

As a nation, U.S. banks have a total OTC derivative exposure of $250 trillion. So, the fact that just four U.S. banks have this much leverage and risk is astounding!  The banks are listed below in order of size and approximate OTC exposure:

1.)     JP MORGAN CHASE BANK NA OH $78.1 trillion OTC derivatives

2.)    CITIBANK NATIONAL ASSN $56.1 trillion OTC derivatives

3.)    BANK OF AMERICA NA NC $53.15 trillion OTC derivatives

4.)    GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA NY $47.7 trillion OTC derivatives. 

Considering that the total assets of these four banks are a little more than $5 trillion, I see a frightening amount of risk with a total derivative exposure of $235 trillion!  This is nearly 50 to 1 leverage.  On top of that, assets such as real estate or mortgage-backed securities can be held on the books at whatever value the banks think they can sell them for in the future.  I call this government sanctioned accounting fraud, or mark to fantasy accounting.  Who knows what the true value of the banks “assets” really are.

My Comment.... For clarity, to put $235 trillion into proportion, a thousand thousand is one million. A thousand million it one billion. A thousand billion is one trillion. So $235 trillion is above a quarter of a quadrillion.There isn't that much wealth, property, infrastructure or GDP in the entire world.

So how could this be allowed to happen? Politicians in bed with Banksters!

And what is the only remedy for America and the World? Jesus, Jesus, Jesus ... Only Jesus. RB

A Second Look At The Face Of Anti-Christ

Common Sense Commentary: "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them." 2Tim.3:12-14.

There is absolutely no way to explain what is happening in the entire world, especially in Europe and the United States ... except you understand the Biblical scriptural prophecies concerning the end times, the rule of Anti-Christ and the Tribulation Period. The reality of Satan has never been more obvious than what is captured in the video below. If you are not a committed Christian with the "Blessed Hope" of Jesus Christ, I suggest that you not even watch this video. You have worse problems... without Christ. This is the second of similar videos I have posted on this Blog site. The first, I called "The Face Of Anti-Christ" and feel impelled to send this expanded version out now. It is too late for Europe and will soon be for America if we do not stop this insane importation mad men into our country. God has given America a natural, physical defense against what is happening in Europe ... two oceans and an ice cap between us and them. A second, physical defense, is an armed citizenry, which Europe does not have, and leaves them helpless. Both of which our President is seeking to void by freely furnishing transportation for these savages across the oceans and by disarming American citizens. As you watch this video, try to imagine how safe you would feel without government protection, as in Europe,  and without an armed citizenry, including your own weapons. I am saved and ready to die... but not volunteering to be murdered by insane religious fanatics. The only thing Obama ever said that was true was that "Christians are clinging to their Bibles and their guns".  So, Mr. Obama, if you want us both to be on the evening news, send someone after either of mine. RB

Please send this video on to your mailing list, and pray for Christians and Jews around the world, both of which these lunatic Muslims hate and are killing.

And yes, I know that Socialists, News Media, and Liberal "True or False" sites on the Internet will deny this, but they cannot convince you against what you see with your own eyes. RB

Where Each Republican Candidate Stands On The Issues

Common Sense Commentary: I am listing only the five front runners of the Republican Candidates, for President, with their positions on the issues. Since I could not copy and paste The Conservative Review's research on the subject, I have typed it below. You will find the link to their own graph below that. It is a great graph and gives the positions of all the Candidates, so click on the link.
Since the Democrat candidates are all listed as bad on just about everything, by The Conservative Review, I do not list them. My readers wouldn't vote for them anyway.

Conservative Review Comparison Of Candidates
https://www.conservativereview.com/2016-presidential-candidates

The Conservative Review, above, classifies abortion and same-sex marriage Under "Moral Issues" in their graph, at their link above. So I will give you various other links where the candidate's own words are quoted concerning these two issues.

On Same-sex Marriage

Jeb Bush---- What he says: “We live in a democracy, and regardless of our disagreements, we have to respect the rule of law. I hope that we can also show respect for the good people on all sides of the gay and lesbian marriage issue — including couples making lifetime commitments to each other who are seeking greater legal protections and those of us who believe marriage is a sacrament and want to safeguard religious liberty.” (The Washington Post)

Ben Carson ----What he says: “Marriage is between a man and a woman. No group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn’t matter what they are. They don’t get to change the definition.” (Baltimore Sun)

Ted Cruz ----What he says: “If you look at other nations that have gone down the road towards gay marriage… It gets enforced against Christian pastors who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical truths on marriage.” (Huffington Post)

Marco Rubio ----What he says: “There is a growing intolerance on this issue, intolerance of those who continue to support traditional marriage… Supporting the definition of marriage as one man and one woman, is not anti-gay. It is pro-traditional marriage.” (POLITICO)

Donald Trump ----Trump's Position on same-sex marriage is very complicated, a mixed message. He seems to dance all around it, leaning one way and then another.

______________________________ On Abortion
You will find all the candidate's positions, except Trump's,, listed at the link below. The study was done before he declared. I have searched out his own words on the subject, below the link.
http://www.ontheissues.org/Abortion.htm
Trump's Position on abortion I am now pro-life; after years of being pro-choice Donald Trump shocked attendees at the conservative CPAC conference in February when he declared himself pro-life after years of supporting the pro-abortion position. Several months ago, when questioned about his position, Trump responded by saying the public "would be surprised" by his stance and, in an interview with Laura Ingraham from Fox News, leading up to the conference, Trump characterized himself as "pro-life" and he repeated that apparent reversal when he told the audience at CPAC, "I am pro-life" and pledged to fight for the reversal of ObamaCare, which contains abortion funding loopholes. Trump is an enigma  

 Carson's Position on abortion is Perplexing:

Forbes List Of Richest Presidential Candidates

Hillary says she is "Almost broke". The question is, "In what way"? Financial, Political, Moral, Emotional, or Spiritual?

Common Sense Commentary: Riches earned honestly or inherited neither qualify nor disqualify a person for any political office. But, if a person is flat broke, that is a bad sign for anyone who wants to run the entire country. What really matters is, who is most qualified for the office, most honest, most disclosing, most loyal to the citizens, most loving of his country, and most truthful. And, for me personally, the thing which tips the balance, is the most sincere Christian, in my judgement. For those reasons, there are only about five or six of the candidates worthy of the office of President of the United States, in my opinion. I will not list their names because it is impossible to know the true character, integrity and sincerity of any person you have not known personally for a long time. We cannot see a person's heart and mind, and cannot believe, with certainty, what they say about themselves. As Jesus said, "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true." John 5:31. (What one says about one's self in not objective)  Our choice, then, must be based upon what they have done as a matter of record, and the final element is asking God to lead us in our decision. Only He knows the whole truth about them all.

Here is Forbes Magazine's List:

1. Donald Trump  $4.5 billion

2. Carly Fiorina   $58 million

3. Hillary Clinton  $45 million

4. Lincoln Chafee $32 million

5. Ben Carson  $26 million

6. Jeb Bush  $22 million

7. George Pataki  $13 million

8. John Kasich  $10 million+

9. Mike Huckabee $9 million

10. Jim Gilmore $7 million

11. Jim Webb $6 million

12. Bobby Jindal $5 million

13. Ted Cruz  $3.5 million

14. Chris Christie  $3 million

15. Rand Paul   $2 million

16. Rick Santorum  $2 million

17. Lindsey Graham  $1 million

18. Bernie Sanders $700,000

19. Marco Rubio $100,000

20. Martin O’Malley  Zero

My final comment:

If you equate wealth with quality, you will get one or two of the best and several of the very worst. If you equate poorness with quality, you will get one of the best and one of the very worst. Neither are a good measurement, so I will follow this blog post with a second which shows what the top Republican Candidates believe on the issues. I will drop the Democrat Candidates because they are all wrong on everything. RB
