Hey Norm, was the Supreme Court “lawless” on September 14 when it blocked Trump’s mail ballot rule? That was an emergency docket ruling too. Or does the Court become “six lawless partisan hacks” only when you lose?
We have a rogue partisan Supreme Court. Using the underhanded emergency docket to give a middle finger to the Constitution, which provides NO ROLE for the executive branch in administering voting and elections. Six lawless partisan hacks enabling distortion of elections. Disgraceful

She should sue them into the stone ages.
Lindsey Isaacs, a 23-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, testified about being thrown into solitary confinement for more than three days after a Flock license-plate camera wrongly tied her Dodge Durango to a deadly I-4 crash. Jail staff told her she had to stay isolated because of how serious the charges were. The cell door stayed locked for about 86 hours. She said she was terrified she would spend the rest of her life in prison for a wreck she knew she hadn’t caused. At her lowest point she didn’t want to live. She spent nearly two weeks in maximum-security jail before prosecutors dropped the charges. Flock should be sued out of existence for this.

Not the war in Iran you idiot. It is the result of Ukraine attacks on Russian refineries. Russian diesel is used in Russia and sold to Europe. Because of refinery damage Russia is keeping more and exporting less. That squeezes world supply and drives up prices.
It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

I have done a dozen interviews lately on stories that aren't related other than the fact that there is an underlying theme: Each interviewee in his own way has cautioned that the Deep State (I call it the "Persistent Bureaucracy") is alive and thriving. That the persistent bureaucrats in federal agencies are slow-walking, delaying, fighting all of the initiatives pushed by Trump and his agency leaders. That FOI requests as well as info requests from Congress and even subpoenas are being stonewalled and obstructed just like they always are. They say there's nothing we can do about it. This, they say, is true inside the @StateDept ., the @SecWar War Dept., @HHSResponse , @CDCDirector, @FDA , you name it. I can attest to the problem at FDA: being required to file a FOI (i.e. delay for months or years) to get accessible public info. and then being told by an uninformed bureaucrat accountable to nobody in particular that there's no news value or urgency for my request to get an expedited review (which would likely only mean shortening the delay from years to months or a year, anyway, not in time for the current news story--as always). This isn't surprising but it's still disappointing.

Foreign Males Caught With Kidnapped Teen After Wrong Turn Onto Canadian Border Bridge Two men are facing kidnapping charges after they were caught at the Canadian border with an abducted child, authorities say. The disturbing bust unfolded on Saturday near Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) stopped a vehicle after the driver mistakenly turned onto the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge and then attempted to re-enter Ontario, SooLeader reports. Authorities found a 15-year-old girl inside the car who had been reported missing, along with two adult males. “An investigation revealed the two accused had picked up the youth earlier that day and would not allow them to leave the vehicle,” CBSA explained in a press release. Officers learned the men had been planning to bring the victim to a hotel before they made the wrong turn. Sahan Alam, 40, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and Hasan Al-Mamun, 29 of Sudbury, Ontario, were arrested and each charged with kidnapping. The victim was reunited with her mother. “As this matter remains before the courts and involves a youth victim, no further details about the circumstances leading up to the incident will be released," CBSA stated. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) just revealed that a similar incident unfolded last month at another international bridge connecting Michigan and Canada. On Aug. 29, an Afghan national with U.S. permanent residency was caught transporting an underage girl at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, Michigan. The child was rescued and the suspect was taken into custody by the Kalamazoo Police Department.

Good Morning, Please join me for a daily scripture break. Exodus 3:14: “I am that I am.” Let’s pause a moment and consider the transcendent nature of God.  Merriam-Webster dictionary defines transcendence as "extending or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience.” This declaration, “I am that I am”  is something that we humans can’t fully comprehend. No human can ever really know what “I am that I am” encompasses let alone explain it in its entirety.  However, because this statement is beyond what I can easily understand it requires me to acknowledge the “mystery” of God.  There are attributes of God I will never grasp and it requires a healthy dose of humility to accept my limitations.  I believe this is where many people choose pride and either adopt their interpretation of a mystery of God or reject the notion they have such limitation; either way, it spells disaster. Please review these foundational scriptures that allude to the transcendent Nature of God. 1. II Chronicles 2:6 - "But who is able to build a temple for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I to build a temple for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?” This a wonderful example of recognizing one’s human limitations and simultaneously acknowledging that God cannot be contained. As we examined establishing a personal intimacy with God in our prayer life in earlier posts this week, we must cogently recall the “vastness” of God as well. One doesn’t negate the other.  In fact, both point to the incomprehensibility of our God by human standards. 2. Isaiah 55:8-9 - "“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts".” At first glance, this declaration may seem demeaning but I think it is quite the contrary. God isn’t boastful but He is veritably honest. This is just the reality of our condition. 3. Acts 17:24 - "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.” This is a not so subtle reminder we are creation and He is the Creator. 4. Jeremiah 23:24 - "Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.” Sometimes humans can delude themselves into thinking there is a place in existence where God can’t see us or hear us.  The Lord denies this assertion. 5. I Kings 8:27 - "But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain You. How much less this temple I have built!” 6. Acts 7:49 - "Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? says the Lord. Or where will My resting place be?” Again, a statement like this one should humble everyone. 7. Hebrews 1:3 - "The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” We are preparing to enter into our eternal salvation, and with every day we are just a little closer.  Let’s pause and reorder our lives to reflect our focus on our eternal destination. If you are struggling with these verses I recommend spending some time meditating scriptures like these to reset your worldview - Who we serve, we are His humble servants, the gift of salvation, etc. I hope this helps. Have a blessed weekend. Peace and be prepared.

For the record, I worked at Cars and Concepts in 1981 and 1982–which Michigan Advance reports. @UAW leadership is so scared that they endorsed the wrong guy that now they are telling every Michigan factory worker who didn’t work for the Big 3: YOU didn’t work in the auto industry. Never mind the fact that Abdul has never worked a manufacturing job in his life. I will be a Senator for Michigan. Abdul would be a Senator for Palestine. @UAW leadership should be ashamed of themselves.

🚨 UPDATE: In a SHOCKING incident, a young Iranian-American tells MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed that his family was hunted and k*lled by the Islamists in Iran — and asks Abdul to CONDEMN the IRGC... ...Abdul refused IN HIS FACE. "WE'RE DYING." "You said you didn't want to comment on Ayatollah Khamenei's death...that silence left a GAPING HOLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. Do you renounce the people that held vigils that supported this TERRORIST? Do you stand against the Islamic Republic of Iran that killed 50,000 protestors? Please!" ABDUL: My worry is when one decides we go in and take out the leadership of foreign government... *word salad against Trump's Iran intervention* STUDENT: YOU STILL HAVEN'T SAID IT. WE'RE DYING. ABDUL: I want to be careful. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?! Abdul is an Islamist...he is MORE WORRIED about upsetting radical Islamic voters so he can win the election than standing with the civilians. You know why? Because he knows that it nets him more votes. If he tries to stand with the Iranian civilians, the Left would paint him as sympathizing with Trump. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. He hates Trump so much he's willing to stand with the IRGC. Vote for Mike Rogers!

Buddy. Brokers were signing people up for plans (without their knowledge) in order to get commissions. Insurance companies received the tax payer dollars from the subsidies. Its a scam. This isn't about actual people who pay their premiums getting kicked off their insurance for not going to the doctor. Its about a straight up scam.

You can’t win with these zealots. Lots of hurricanes = BAD No hurricanes = ALSO BAD It’s always bad. It’s always something to worry about. You people spend your lives like Chicken Littles running scared over the weather. If you have lived in Florida for more than 50 years, you should know that you have seen this before. This isn’t the first year that no hurricanes have hit Florida. And it won’t be the last you get a break either. It happened just last year. And no hurricanes made landfall there between Wilma on October 24, 2005, and Hermine on September 2, 2016. That is almost 11 years with no hits.
Replying to @MatthewWielicki
You do realize that having ZERO hurricanes is just as much of a warning sign as having a record number. I’ve lived in FL for near 50 years. And I’ve never seen this. The climate is changing. Why? We don’t know. But it’s changing.

How many Feds will be sent to monitor the election in Michigan? How ever many it is, it will be too few. Michigan is election fraud central.
After sending 100+ monitors in the primaries, we @CivilRights plan to send 1000 federal election monitors to select locations around the country to observe the general election in November. This will be the largest monitoring effort in @theJusticeDept history!

Did I just hear the WH press briefing question correctly? $2.7 TRILLION in improper Medicare/Medicaid payments to people overseas who weren’t entitled to the benefit? This cannot be real. The entire national debt is ~$36T, and you’re telling me that you sent checks for $2.7T to people overseas?? I am telling you right now, by the time we’re done with these audits, we will find at least $36T worth of waste, fraud and abuse. The entire national debt is waste, fraud and abuse.

Big court win out of Michigan today! Election Clerks Stephanie Scott and Michelle McQueer are heros!! -Benson ordered Clerks to delete election records -A hero Clerk sued -Benson asked a judge to throw it out -Today the Judge said NO on every ground! The case in 30 seconds: -The electronic poll book is the laptop record of everyone who checked in to vote at your precinct. -Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's new state rule says clerks must DELETE it 7 days after the election is certified. -Federal law says KEEP it 22 months. Destroying it early is a federal crime -My client, Bridgewater Township Clerk Michelle McQueer, asked the State which law to follow -11 months, no answer, so she sued -Lots of work by Clerk Michelle McQueer and Stephanie Scott @SScott4USA Today she, Ms. Scott and her attorney @KevinKijewski defeated Benson's motion to dismiss. This is huge as it means the case proceeds, on the merits - which is exactly what Sec. of State Benson doesn't want! See Kijewski's post below for more details. Benson told Clerks to delete election data which is illegal, and now her staff attorney threatened and intimidated witnesses in writing!
BENSON ORDERED CLERKS TO DELETE ELECTION RECORDS. A CLERK SUED. BENSON ASKED A JUDGE TO THROW IT OUT. TODAY HE SAID NO. ON EVERY GROUND. THE CASE IN 30 SECONDS The electronic poll book is the laptop record of everyone who checked in to vote at your precinct. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's new state rule says clerks must DELETE it 7 days after the election is certified. Federal law says KEEP it 22 months. Destroying it early is a FEDERAL CRIME. My client, Bridgewater Township Clerk Michelle McQueer, asked the State which law to follow. ELEVEN MONTHS. NO ANSWER. So she sued. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY: - The Court of Claims denied the State's motion to dismiss. COMPLETELY. - The State said she waited too long. DENIED. The court: it "cannot fault plaintiff for waiting." The power to answer her "was completely in their hands." (pp 19, 21) - The State said she skipped the process. DENIED. The court: it "will not support defendants delaying in resolving the administrative proceedings and then fault plaintiff for filing suit." (p 19) - The State said a clerk can't bring this case in any court. DENIED. The court: she sued "to ensure that she ... complies with state and federal law and therefore will not be criminally charged." That's not the kind of case the State's cases are about. (pp 21-22) - And the order protecting her records STAYS IN PLACE. WHAT THE JUDGE WROTE: The State said criminal liability is "speculative" because DOJ hasn't prosecuted anyone yet. The judge, in Footnote 3: "The Court finds this contention to be quite remarkable and reckless." And Footnote 5: "Plaintiff's suit also could derivatively save the SOS from being criminally charged federally." READ THAT ONE TWICE. FROM THE HEARING, SEPTEMBER 16: - To the State's lawyer, first sentence: "Off the top, you lose on the laches." (p 5) - When Benson's lawyer argued the burden on the State: "You're arguing practicalities. But you know what? I have to comply with the law. I have to follow the law." (p 11) - On calling out the State's specious claim that a clerk can't bring this case: "I'm with you on that. You're right." (p 16) - The State's own lawyer, on the record: "You're not going to hear a merits argument from me." (p 11) WHAT'S NEXT: The State now has to defend the rule on the merits, which it has AVOIDED SINCE THE START. Benson's lawyers promised in court to issue rulings on her requests within two weeks. Once those land, both sides file, and the judge decides whether a state rule can order clerks to delete what federal law says to keep. ONE CLERK. TWO LAWS. A JUDGE WHO READS AND CARES ABOUT THE LAW. Full opinion (Sept22): tinyurl.com/pollbookruling Hearing transcript (Sept 16): tinyurl.com/pollbooktranscri… Let's make Michigan safe, normal, and responsible again! 🇺🇸 @MIGOP @MI_Republicans @Th_Midwesterner @MINewsSource @stevegrubershow @MrJustinBarclay @JonathanTurley @RobGouveiaEsq @downi75 @Mike_Cox @MrAustinPredict @gatewaypundit @honestpollster @mifairelections @dcexaminer @MZHemingway @jsolomonReports

Good Morning, Welcome to our daily scripture break. Jeremiah 42:3: “Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.” We will examine the importance of making correct, godly decisions. When I began to really explore my Christian journey, I still made decisions the way I always had. I prided myself on how deliberate, reasonable, and objective my thought process was.  I didn’t make emotional, rash decisions.  What I didn’t realize was “I" was still deciding my worldview, my values, my principles and all of those factors were heavily influenced by culture. It takes a concerted effort to change your thinking and weigh your opinions, thoughts, and values through the prism of God’s Word.  We all originate from different backgrounds and we all have had to emerge from a metamorphosis of Christian thinking into the members of the Body of Christ we are today. So today’s post we will begin with Jeremiah 42:3 and then examine what are the appropriate influences on Christian thinking. Jeremiah 42:3 is really quite simple - it isn’t what we think but what God thinks and instructs us to do that matters. This is the second step of Christian decision making. Let’s take a closer look. Here is a short description of the factors that influence our Christian decision making process. 1. Decide to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. This is the first step - where you confess your sins, repent, ask for forgiveness and get baptized.  Once Jesus is your Lord and Savior, everything changes.  You are no longer in charge - “you were bought with a price.” (I Corinthians 6:20) Your priorities are different now, your behavior is different, you are now a member of a new family, there are new expectations of you and how you will use your talents, resources and gifts for the Kingdom of God, especially the Body of Christ.  We should dedicate a considerable amount of time intently perusing the history of Christianity and salvation history -  begin with the Gospels and go from there. 2. Decide to live and pursue a life of holiness. Most Christians through denominational Churches or non-denominational Churches have “new convert” training or bible study or formal educational/initiation program requirements to enter into said churches. Each one of us has lived a unique path to our current station. Of course there are nuances amongst the denominations but the Christian call to “holiness” is universal.  The epistles of Paul, Book of Psalms and Book of Proverbs are an excellent starting point. 3. Decide to serve and love the Body of Christ.  Diligent pursuit of holiness with guidance by the Holy Spirit leads us to different assignments within the Body of Christ depending upon our gifts and talents. By living a faithful life of stewardship over our gifts and talents we are thereby benefitting the Body of Christ as God intended. 4. Decide to do the last thing Jesus told us before He ascended - spread the Good News.  This must become a way of life. You love the Lord and His Church so much that you catch yourself sharing how good the Lord has been to you and your family without hesitation.  People notice how you carry yourself, how you react to difficult times, the language you use. They may not say anything but they take note.  Be an example of a faithful member of the Body of Christ as the Holy Spirit leads you to opportunities to spread the Good News. 5. Decide to love what God loves - align ourselves with His Will/Intent/Word.  There are many people who identify as Christians but to practice loving what God loves is a great place to live out your life on earth and great preparation to live in our eternal home. These factors should shape every decision you make until your last breath.  I think by now you know I believe whether we are aware or not, culture has too much influence in the Body of Christ.  That’s just our human nature unless we make a concerted effort to develop different habits like II Corinthians 10:5 which says, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  Our culture sets itself up against God and the things of God that’s why this process I am describing must be deliberate, exact, and consistent. How do I go about reordering my thinking?  Contemplate Who God is. The reason that is so important is because God's Nature/Character is what our comprehension of our existence is based upon. Also pray God Word/promises back to Him. Imitate Him. That is where you begin and the Holy Spirit will enlighten you. Psalm 143:8 says, “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” This should be our outlook - this is the prism through which we prioritize the issues of life. Here are some foundational scriptures you can review to assist you in renewing your mind, conscience, will, and emotions. 1. Proverbs 16:9 - “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." 2. Philippians 4:6-7 - “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." 3. II Timothy 3:14 - “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,…." 4. Joshua 24:15 - “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” 5. Proverbs 4:5 - “Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them." 6. Psalm 25:4 - “Show me your ways, Lord , teach me your paths." Here are a few more references please review at your convenience. 1. II Peter 3:17 2. Revelations 2:10 3. Acts 14:22 4. Psalm 86:11 5. Proverbs 18:15 6. James 1:12 Many of you are doing all of this without a second thought but all I will say is I catch myself being pulled back into our cultural undertow of deadly thinking.  This process is deliberate and is what I like to call “Christian mulling”; it doesn’t make you weird but you are marked by the blood of Jesus.(I Peter 1:18-19)  You will look different to the world - that’s okay. With time and prayer it will become second nature to you. Have a blessed day. Peace and be prepared.
