Christian U students protest faith-based VP Mike Pence

Liberal Arts Taylor University students take the word “liberal” more seriously than “Christian”

Taylor University is a nondenominational Christian liberal arts school that appears to take the word “liberal“ more seriously than its commitment to Christianity. There was a student and faculty walkout protesting Vice President Mike Pence just prior to him delivering the commencement address, beginning with these words:

“Throughout most of our American history it’s been pretty easy to call yourself a Christian, but things are different now,” Pence said. “Lately, it’s become acceptable, even fashionable, to malign traditional Christian beliefs. So as you prepare to leave this place and build your life on a Christ-centered, world-engaging foundation poured here at Taylor University, be prepared to stand up.”

Founded in 1846, Taylor University has veered far from its original roots. Its admission page urges applicants to learn more about how God could use you during and beyond your Taylor college experience, but there has been a disconnect, based in the promotion of the homosexual agenda as some students affixed rainbow signs and stickers atop their mortar boards, “We are Taylor too. ” They said the message represented “support for marginalized people hurt by the Trump administration’s policies,” clearly demonstrating their lack of knowledge.

The majority of the 494 graduates did not leave and greeted the comments by VP Pence, a former Indiana governor, with applause and a standing ovation. But the fact that there was a protest at a faith-based school is indicative of the radical leftist popular culture invading even what should be regarded as strongholds for normalcy.

The petition protesting Vice President Mike Pence’s commencement address can be viewed here.

While the university’s website addresses its commitment to Christ, some students suggested a more appropriate speaker would be South Bend Indiana mayor and long-shot Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, married to another man.

Next weekend V. P. Pence will deliver the commencement address to U.S. Army cadets at West Point military academy.

ICE transporting 225,000 invaders to shelters across US & Update

Mission diametrically opposed to Pres. Trump’s announcement

Following President Trump’s announcement on enhanced immigration policies which will favor those who can benefit America, we read that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking to hire a ‘highly responsible” private contractor that will be accountable for transporting approximately 225,000 illegal alien children and families to shelters across the country over the next five years as they wait for their asylum claims to be processed.

Does any rational citizen believe illegals in the U.S. for five years will step forward to be processed on the chance they will be deported? Any children they have while in the United States will automatically be American citizens via a distorted interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, put in place after the Civil War to specifically grant citizenship to American-born children of freed African-born slaves. 

And…the not to be missed proviso is that the contractor “fully embraces the philosophy” of treating all unaccompanied minors (UACs) and family units (FAMUs) with “dignity and respect,” according to this 70-page federal procurement document dated Tuesday, May 13.

The private company will be hired to transport approximately 60,000 people a year. It will work to arrange commercial flights and ground transportation for solo alien children up to age 17 as well as adults with children and will provide food, clothing and hygiene products during transit.

How much this will cost American taxpayers and why the unaccompanied minors are not sent home and reunited with their families remains a mystery.

On Thursday, May 15, President Trump unveiled his points-based proposal to “transform” America’s immigration system focusing on high skilled workers, and eliminating chain migration based on family ties. English proficiency, education, and whether the applicant has a well-paying job offer were specifically detailed. 

In his speech, the president said, “The crisis at our border is at a breaking point. Approximately one million aliens are projected to arrive at the border this year alone, and more than 100,000 aliens have arrived each of the past two months.”

His unwavering support of enhanced border security and completion of a border barrier thrust him to the front of the 19 GOP presidential candidates in 2016 and have been hallmarks of his administration.

“It is time to begin moving towards a merit-based immigration system — one that admits people who are skilled, who want to work, who will contribute to our society, and who will love and respect our country,” he stated in his recent announcement.

Is ICE listening?

False reporting yesterday. “There are no plans to send migrants to Northern or Coastal Border facilities, including Florida.” @FoxNews Not by airplanes or any other way. Our Country is FULL, will not, and can not, take you in!

McCain & Co.: Too much is never enough

When it comes to the McCain family and the Arizona Republic, its personal publicist, too much is never enough.

John McCain, the man who obsessively carried the newspaper’s open border agenda grew larger in death than the Republicrat ever was in life. Every scintilla of contrivance relating to him exploded to disproportionate coverage, including his unprecedented three funerals.  When he behaved ignobly, as was his custom, readers of the local newspaper were kept in the dark. This phenomenon goes back decades. Coverage of his deep involvement in the Keating Five scandal was more accurately reported in the Phoenix New Times, a free tabloid. After seemingly endless coverage following McCain’s death, the Republic printed a glossy, full color magazine insert reviewing his life from its own glowing perspective. It bore little relationship to the low regard in which he was held by Republican Party activists who overwhelmingly voted to censure McCain. He retaliated by working to purge them as elected Precinct Committeemen — the backbone of the Republican Party election apparatus, with the help of Gregory Wendt, a San Francisco-based Obama donor and others of his ilk who hold conservatives in contempt.

Yvonne Wingnut Sanchez now performs as the McCain family toady, since John McCain’s assigned personal groveler, Dan Nowicki’s two-decade long career shoveling for the “maverick,” appears to have died along with McCain.

Widow Cindy Hensley McCain, the Anheuser-Busch beer heiress, has recently hired a Beverly Hills talent agency that will arrange global speaking engagements for a $multi-thousand fee. No doubt the demand to hear her speak will be great. One of her pet topics is human trafficking, which she has proven she is ready, willing and able to lie about witnessing. Stealing prescription narcotics from those she was supposedly providing philanthropic aid is another topic with which Cindy has more than passing interest.

The agency will need to book gigantic arenas to accommodate the massive crowds that undoubtedly will flock to hear Cindy Lou’s words of wisdom:

“As I focus on the next phase of my humanitarian endeavors, I’m thrilled to work with UTA to leverage my charitable passions to carry on my husband’s legacy by reaching new audiences and continuing to improve the lives of others.”

Recent AZ Republic McArticles carried these inane headlines:

Meghan McCain’s husband apologizes for homophobic ‘rage tweeting’ against Seth Meyers

Sports Illustrated goes berserk with burkini model

Symbol of oppression glorified

Breitbart News covers Zuhdi Jasser in this report, ‘Insanity’ for Hollywood Leftists to ‘Glorify’ Burkini.

Reading it guarantees you will be more discerning in sifting through increasing levels of leftist lunacy from those who purport to be purveyors of news. Dr. Jasser, a Phoenix physician, is the president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.

Watch as Dr. Jasser, appearing on the Tucker Carlson show, discusses the bizarre aberration of Kenyan-born, Somalian model and practicing Muslim, Halima Aden wearing a hijab and a “burkini” on the swimsuit edition cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.

…and Twitter went into full tweet mode.

This brief video shows Aden, while garbed in her modest attire, ostentatiously strutting her stuff as a contestant in the 2016 Miss Minnesota USA Pageant.

Foolish do-gooders aid and abet illegal invasion

Righteous absurdity of the left

The Easter Sunday edition of the local newspaper devoted front page coverage, including two jump pages, to a 74-year-old local grandmother who opens her small condo to hordes of illegal aliens. The article is headlined, “We are called to welcome strangers…Arizonan opens home, heart to asylum seekers.” A more fitting title would be, “Misguided do-gooder* aids and abets illegal invasion.”

Her home is described as “spotless” although the photos belie that depiction. Truth on any level simply has no relevancy when the topic is illegal aliens. Imagine a neighbor harboring criminals steps away from your home. Yet she and others working in concert with their churches, are extolled for feeding, clothing and temporarily housing Central American illegals now breaching our border by the 100‘s of thousands as they caravan through facilitating Mexico. The illegals, referred to as “guests,” are coddled until they are able to fan out cross the United States and access taxpayer-funded benefits. Any children they have once here are automatically American citizens based on flawed interpretations of the Fourteen Amendment, able to exploit absurd chain migration policies to bring in other relatives.

A pastor acknowledges not all of his congregants are happy with his church’s involvement, with some concerned that “publicity could lead to anti-immigrant protests from so-called patriot groups, which have occurred at other churches.”

Understand that if you believe in legal immigration and respect for the law, you are on the wrong side of this issue and your patriotism is open to question.

These brief insights aim to give our readers a sample of what the increasingly radical left-wing newspaper pushes as it attempts to make aiding criminality an act of faith-based decency. The failing Arizona Republic expends its last gasps of breath struggling to normalize the abnormal from deviancy to criminality, but is fooling no one but itself — evidenced by the fact that subscriptions for the anorexic, poor excuse for a newspaper continue to plummet. Parent company Gannett Co. Inc. continues to fail and has been the subject of hostile takeover bids as profit and revenue fall short of estimates.

For a cogent view on the impending prospects of such irrational tactics, read “Amnesty: Bad Policy, Even Worse Politics,” by Bradley Betters — posted on American Thinker.

Associated Press’ 2019 guidelines veer further left

Reporters instructed on retooling language in an effort to reconfigure attitudes

It’s not just about grammar and capitalization conundrums. Nope. Those zany folks at Associate Press are hard at work attempting to recraft your attitudes via 2019 stylebook guidelines. Though President Trump is not specifically mentioned, anti-Trumpism is always bubbling beneath the surface in news coverage.

The terms “racist” and “racism” are deserving of their own chapter. It is 2019, after all, and the stylebook’s audience is aimed at reporters who put a premium on dividing us according to ethnicity. African American has lost its dash with the removal of the hyphen. Americans who prefer to just be Americans are out’a luck. Are you unfamiliar with the term “Latinx?” It’s the gender-neutral or nonbinary alternative to Latino or Latina. AP is not simply a news agency. It also constructs language.

Illogically the focus on race is followed up with, “Consider carefully when deciding whether to identify people by race. Often, it is an irrelevant factor and drawing unnecessary attention to someone’s race or ethnicity can be interpreted as bigotry.”

In 2013, SRAZ posted, “Winston Smith: Alive and well at Associated Press. “

That was followed in 2017 by “AP reconfigures language, tries to control thinking — again,” in which the stylebook urged journalists to avoid making references in news stories that suggest there are only two sexes in the human race.

In 2010, the Diversity Committee of the Society of Professional Journalists called on news reporters nationwide to stop using the term “illegal immigrant” in their news coverage —- preferring “undocumented workers” or “undocumented immigrants.”

As early as 2008, at the height of the war on terror, we exposed the absurd guidelines from the Society of Professional Journalists, which called for grouping white supremacists and “radical anti-abortionists” with Islamic terrorists. Jihad was not only verboten, it was sympathetically referred to as “exert[ing] oneself for the good of Islam and to better oneself.” None dare call it what it is: A militant Islamic movement threatening Western civilization.

These two gems were specific in their instructions:

– When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists and other groups with a history of such activity.

– Use photos and features to demystify veils, turbans and other cultural articles and customs.

The 2019 stylebook’s lead editor Paula Froke, slickly states, “Our first audience is journalists, but the audience is very broad.”

The indisputable fact is, American citizens are the intended audience for the double speak and attitude adjustments. The majority of what you see and hear is fabricated with these leftist threads. Students are inundated with it from kindergarten through graduate school. What was once heralded as the free press, has grotesquely transmogrified to purveyors of mind control.

Arrogant, irrelevant Jeff Flake craves Dem 2020 win

It takes an unparalleled level of conceit for a single term U.S. Senator —- unable to run for reelection due to 18-percent approval ratings in his home state —- to pompously bloviate about the President of the Untied States, and think he is influential.

But that’s exactly the pathetic behavior insignificant Jeff Flake, now a paid defector at a left-wing network, engages in to generate some publicity for himself. The latest is a rehash of his 2016 pre-election rhetoric, when he went anywhere a camera and mic were located to state Donald Trump couldn’t and shouldn’t be elected, and neither he nor his family would vote for him.  His disgraceful antics mirrored those of his mentor, John McCain.

Flake obviously isn’t keen on the best economy, highest employment and lower taxes Americans have enjoyed in decades, excellent judicial appointments —- two on the Supreme Court —- and historic inroads with Communist despots in China and North Korea. As an orchestrating member of McCain’s notorious Gang of Eight, his focus has long been on instituting destructive open border policies.

The appropriately named Flake would rather grouse, though cameras need to be trained on him when he engages in his anti-Trump barrages.

Appearing at a decidedly leftist Democrat forum billed as the “Intelligence Squared” debate in New York City, Flake said: “I think that four years is difficult enough — to unravel some of the damage that has been done internationally to our role, to our leadership position. We cannot — should not go another four years.”

“Yes … and this notion, this narrative that’s been built up, that Donald Trump is the only one that can cobble together the Electoral College and win is just a fallacy,” stated Flake —- a man keenly aware of his own inability to win reelection.

When the moderator asked, “Are you willing to lose a cycle for the Republican Party because of the principles that you’re arguing,” the Flakester unhesitatingly responded, “Oh, yes. Yes.”
