Why do Hillary’s emails remain a huge problem?
Here’s why Hillary Clinton’s emails are a huge problem:
• It’s not a conspiracy by the Republicans.
• Clinton is accused of using her personal email server to hold classified material while in office, which is illegal.
Last week (late January) the State Department said top-secret material went through her server, and that it would not make public 22 of the emails because they contained “highly classified information.”
If an investigation determines those emails were classified before they went through Clinton’s server, she could face 22 felony counts.
By the way, I am supporting Bernie Sanders — and not any of the Republicans.

Flint’s water fiasco tied to Democrats' failings
Flint, Mich., is one of the poorest and most dangerous cities in America.
It is so bankrupt, a financial custodian (Democratic) is in charge and led the decision to seek a more efficient, cheaper water supply. NOT the governor. In fact, Flint’s own City Council, mayor and state treasurer — all Democrats — approved the idea.
In hindsight, this decision to seek a new water supply was a disaster. But it is one entirely caused by government actors—most of them local government actors—and ignored by regulators until it was too late. The people who have thusfar done too little to fix the crisis are also government actors — at the local, state and even federal levels.
It is just UNBELIEVABLE that every TV pundit is blaming the REPUBLICAN governor of the STATE, when instead, it’s a great example of DEMOCRATS failing to efficiently provide even the most basic of public services due to a characteristically toxic combination of administrative bloat (unsustainable public employee pensions) and corruption.
Oh, did I mention 50-plus years of Democrat’s rule (?).

As for school shootings, trust in God is the answer
We once were a people who trusted in the Lord, but we now are secular humanists who trust in ourselves instead of the Lord.
We see it in our schools, which have been transformed into fortresses to protect our school children from school shooters.
If we truly trusted in the Lord, we wouldn’t turn our schools into fortresses and we would place our trust in the Lord to protect our schools and schoolchildren.
And if school shootings occurred in our unprotected schools, we would trust that the Lord God, who is all-good, all-loving, all-knowing and all-powerful, acted with justice and righteousness.
Let us return to trusting the Lord and put our faith in the Lord our God, rather than in man and security, and suriveillance technologies, and school resource officers and guns and security camersa and security systems and lockdowns out of our schools, and leave our schools unprotected to show our perfect trust in the Lord our God.
Replace security and surveillance and guns with trust in the Lord!As a postscript, if school shooters shoot your children in the unprotected schools, rest assured your dead children had completed their assignments on earth and their earthly work was done. And that was why they were called home.

Islamic terrorist attack erroneously blamed on guns
The recent Islamic terrorist attack in California brought out the usual reaction from American politicians and others.
Some immediately blamed guns and suggested more gun laws, ignoring the fact that it is ungodly humans who pull the trigger.
When the perpetrators turned out to be Islamic, the question they wanted answered was, how did they get radicalized? Like if they didn’t know!Historians tell us that Prophet Mohammed respected both the Jewish and the Christians and that he told his followers to leave them alone (don’t try to convert them), because they already knew God.
So obviously, He believed in the Living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel).However, later things changed, so that now, The Koran (Qur’an), contains such things as, “Kill them [the infidels, namely Christians and Jews] wherever you may come upon them, and seize them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every conceivable place.”-Sura 9:5
So the Prophet’s love of the Living God has now been turned into hatred against God’s Chosen People, the Jews and Christians, and the rest of the world. Now the Muslim Brotherhood says, “Our mission: world domination.”
Some Muslim slogans are, “Death to America,” “Kill the Jews,” “Kill the Unbelievers.”Yes, America, Islam is serious when they say, “Death to America.” To them it is death to everyone who doesn’t follow their God.
That is not exactly what the Living God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob commanded. His commandments were, “Thou shall not kill,” and “Love thy neighbor.”
Sadly, God’s plan for salvation, through the forgiveness of Man’s sin, by the shedding of His precious Son’s blood, has been rejected by Islam. Instead, they tell their followers the path to Heaven is by killing those who do not believe in Allah, and that by doing so, 70 family members will win entrance to Heaven too. And some ask for a motive!!
Lest we forget, America, too, has rejected God and His Word (Jesus Christ, our Lord).
