Is This Donald Trump's October Surprise?

Is this article the news we have been waiting for from Donald Trump? "Trumped-Up Charges? Republicans Rejected Man’s Claims That Obama Sold Cocaine In College". It alleges that Obama used and sold cocaine during his college years. That could help explain how he financed his college education. And it would explain some of those times when he has appeared to be brain dead. Like the first debate a few weeks ago.

The person making the allegation about Obama using and selling cocaine went to the Romney campaign and offered to let them to release the information, but they refused.

So, is the "trumped up" reference indicating that this is the bombshell that The Donald will be divulging tomorrow? He is not mentioned in the story, so maybe not.

Ballston Bomber - Is He a Muslim?


Leon Traille after arrest


Last week a story that barely made the national news occurred right here in my back yard. Well, a few miles from it any way. A man named Leon Traille tried to fire bomb a shopping mall where my family and I have frequented to see movies and go shopping. Luckily the Molotov cocktail that the man threw from an upper balcony did not ignite and did not harm anyone. He was captured a short distance from the Ballston Mall where he was sitting at a table eating lunch.

That story is troubling because the man will not speak or respond to questions. No determination has been made as to his motive. But there are some eerie comparisons that are unmistakable.


Major Nidal Hasan


Remember this guy? He was the Fort Hood shooter who was clean shaven before he shot and killed 13 people on the Texas Army base in 2009. When he was arrested and incarcerated, he suddenly decided that his Islamic faith mandated he grow his beard and refuse to cut it. He looks scraggly, and his eyes look empty inside. Compare to above Traille picture.





And how about this picture of John Allen Muhammad. He was the Beltway sniper who killed 12 people in the Washington, DC, area ten years ago this month. He was a convert to Islam in 1987, and he indoctrinated a 17 year-old teenager who acted alongside him in the murderous rampage.

Muhammad also grew out his scraggly beard while in prison. It was said that he looked empty inside when you looked into his eyes. He was executed after being convicted of one murder in Virginia. Compare to above Traille picture.

And then there was this guy. He is Richard Reid, more commonly known as the Shoe Bomber. He was convicted and sentenced in 2003.

Compare to above Traille picture.


And this man, a Briton named Saajid Badat, who was a co-conspirator of Richard Reid.

And this man who was... well, I don't need to say more.

Compare to above Traille picture.


Now take a look at these men whose pictures appeared along with a story we saw this past weekend out of Jordan. These men were planning numerous attacks, including shopping malls in various places. Their plans were foiled and they are in custody.

It's time we are told the real story about the Ballston (attempted) Bomber. Naturally, nothing will come from this administration. No matter. In two weeks, this could be what Obama is heading toward.

Will The Donald's October Surprise Trump Allred's?

Move over, Gloria Allred.

This morning on Fox News Channel, during the airing of "Fox and Friends" morning program, Donald Trump was on the phone with Gretchen, Steve, and Brian. It seems The Donald is ready to unleash an October surprise of his own. He said that he will make a "very big" announcement that could affect the presidential race on Wednesday of this week.


Trump has long been involved in the push to make Obama  release his long-form Hawaiian birth certificate, so I anticipate this Wednesday announcement will be related to that unresolved controversy. And I hope it does continue to turn this race into a Romney rout.

All we can do is wait! And pray!

Two New American Saints: May They Intercede for Us FAST!

American Catholics have two new Saints to whom they can ask intercession for our earthly causes. One is Native American Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint from the U.S., and Mother Marianne Cope, a 19th century Franciscan nun who cared for leprosy patients in Hawaii.

Ten years ago, while accompanying a group of young adults to World Youth Day in Toronto, Ontario, I visited the Shrine in upstate New York where then-Blessed Kateri is remembered. As a young woman, Kateri encountered and overcame many trials in her short life. She is a marvelous example for young people as to how one can learn to follow the way of Christ despite seemingly insurmountable cultural barriers. According to an AP news story:
The two American saints actually hail from roughly the same place - what is today upstate New York - although they lived two centuries apart.

Known as the "Lily of the Mohawks," Kateri was born in 1656 to a pagan Iroquois father and an Algonquin Christian mother. Her parents and only brother died when she was 4 during a smallpox epidemic that left her badly scarred and with impaired eyesight. She went to live with her uncle, a Mohawk, and was baptized Catholic by Jesuit missionaries. But she was ostracized and persecuted by other natives for her faith, and she died in what is now Canada when she was 24.

Speaking in English and French, in honor of Kateri's Canadian ties, Benedict noted how unusual it was in Kateri's indigenous culture for her to choose to devote herself to her Catholic faith.

"May her example help us to live where we are, loving Jesus without denying who we are," Benedict said. "Saint Kateri, protectress of Canada and the first Native American saint, we entrust you to the renewal of the faith in the first nations and in all of North America!"
As for Mother Mariann Cope, she also endured and rose above barriers of many types.
Cope is revered among many Catholics in Hawaii, where she arrived from New York in 1883 to care for leprosy patients on Kalaupapa, an isolated peninsula on Molokai Island where Hawaii governments forcibly exiled them for decades. At the time, there was widespread fear of the disfiguring disease, which can cause skin lesions, mangled fingers and toes and lead to blindness.

Cope, however, led a band of Franciscan nuns to the peninsula to care for the patients, just as Saint Damien, a Belgian priest, did in 1873. He died of the disease 16 years later and was canonized in 2009.

"At a time when little could be done for those suffering from this terrible disease, Marianne Cope showed the highest love, courage and enthusiasm," Benedict said in his homily. "She is a shining and energetic example of the best of the tradition of Catholic nursing sisters and of the spirit of her beloved St. Francis."
 Mother Marianne is the shining example for us today to illustrate that we as individuals, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, should take it upon ourselves as Catholic Christians to care for one another. When we cede all of these health and welfare decisions to the government, then we are not getting the Grace that comes from the love and sacrifice that it takes to help one another. Food stamps and welfare payments are skyrocketing, and they are unsustainable.

Many churches and other charities in the United States have food banks that go unused and, as a result are understocked because people are now being given EBT cards that can be used for many non-necessities. Why should a needy mother go to the food bank for staple foods to feed her children when she is being given $500 a month that can be used for cigarettes, alcohol, lottery tickets, candy and soda, along with steaks and prepared foods that do not require her to turn on the stove or oven?

Am I cynical? You bet I am. And the only thing that will begin to change my mind is for the government to give back to the churches and the People of God the responsibility to perform the Corporal Works of Mercy, which very Catholics have even heard of these days. We as faithful Christians are required to:
  • To feed the hungry;
  • To give drink to the thirsty;
  • To clothe the naked;
  • To harbour the harbourless;
  • To visit the sick;
  • To ransom the captive;
  • To bury the dead. 
Likewise we are to tend to the Spiritual Works of Mercy:
  • To instruct the ignorant;
  • To counsel the doubtful;
  • To admonish sinners;
  • To bear wrongs patiently;
  • To forgive offences willingly;
  • To comfort the afflicted;
  • To pray for the living and the dead.
Turning these Works of Mercy over to the government does not garner Grace for us as individuals. I am certain that Saint Kateri and Saint Marianne did not turn their backs on the poor and sick in the hopes that the government would take care of them. That's why they are saints. And that's why they are models for us.

I am already praying a novena and asking both of these newly-minted American Saints to intercede for us and to ask God to give us the strength and the numbers to elect the man for President who will truly be best equipped to bring our country back from the brink of secularism and ruin. I invite you to add your voice to the supplication.

Obama and Biden: The "Dynamic 7-11 Duo"

You may recall this hidden video recording of Joe Biden from 6 years ago. It surfaced during the 2008 presidential campaign and was one of the first instances where the media dismissed Biden's gaffe as just Joe-being-Joe. Now such gaffes and dismissals are practically a daily occurrence.


Some employees of 7-11 were offended by Biden's prejudicial remark, and rightfully so. But it seems Biden has rubbed off on Obama, as he has now been dubbed the "7-11 President."


This drubbing is because, according to the Treasury Department's summary of federal spending so far in 2012, for every $7 in taxes the Obama administration brings in, it spends $11. As Jeffrey Anderson of The Weekly Standard puts it, "Under Obama, for every $7 we’ve had, we’ve spent nearly $11 (or, to be more exact, $10.95).  That’s like a family that makes $70,000 a year — and is already knee-deep in debt — blowing nearly $110,000 a year" (or, to be exact, $109,500).


I wonder if Barack and Michelle ran their household that way in Chicago. And will they revert to that lifestyle when they return to Chicago (or Hawaii) when we oust them in 2 1/2 weeks?

Gloria Allred Planning October Surprise Attack Against Romney

Gloria Allred is a 71-year-old left-wing Jewish feminist lawyer in California who has made a name for herself primarily by representing many infamous women. Her Wikipedia bio is replete with her prolific involvement in suing various people. In the 1990s she represented members of the Nicole Brown Simpson family during the O.J. trial, so she got a chunk of money from that case. A few years ago she tried to extort  money out of Tiger Woods for a number of the many women who had slept with Woods during his marriage, but little to nothing came from her efforts in that case. She also represented the middle-aged Georgetown law student, Sandra Fluke, in a lawsuit against Rush Limbaugh earlier this year, claiming defamation for his voicing his opinion that she was a "slut" when she demanded that taxpayers pay for her birth control. No money there either. (By the way, Fluke spoke at an Obama campaign event Saturday 10/20/12 in Nevada and 10 whole people showed up!)

Although Allred once may have had a decent reputation as an attorney, she has, in her later life, become a sensationalist with seemingly no other motive than to interject herself into the limelight and make herself seem relevant. She was a delegate for Obama at the Democrat National Convention last month in North Carolina. Now rumor has it she is preparing to bring forth a client who will make a claim of either having had a sexual relationship with Mitt Romney or that she was harassed or abused by him at some point in the distant past. Allred is waiting until the "right time" to reveal her client, according to reports. In other words, she is not interested in justice for a true victim. Instead she is interested in trying to save Obama's skin the way Obama was saved in the run up to the Illinois Senate seat. This You Tube video of a CNN report from June of 2008 shows how dirty Obama played with Chicago-style political tactics to get his way in the 1990s when he sought the Illinois state Senate position.


Obama's run for the 2004 U.S. Senate seat for Illinois involved even more dirty tactics. In the Democratic primary, Obama's minions were able to destroy his opponent, Blair Hull, by getting his divorce records unsealed. The record showed that, during the proceedings, the ex-wife had made allegations that Hull had hit her during the marriage. The allegations were never proved, but when the records were made public, Hull withdrew from the race. Obama won the primary.

Obama then had to attack the Republican candidate, Jack Ryan, who was favored to win the race. As with Hull, Obama's minions were able to get Ryan's divorce records unsealed, and allegations made by the ex-wife were revealed wherein she accused Ryan of having asked her to perform oral sex on him in an adult club before they were married. A week after the press reported the story, Ryan dropped out of the race. That left Republicans scrambling, and they substituted Alan Keyes as their nominee. Obama soundly defeated Keyes to win the seat. It's no wonder Obama hides his own records and pays millions of dollars to keep them from coming out to the public. God only knows what sleaze and fraud is in his not-so-distant past.

So Obama, Axelrod, and their Chicago thugs are at it again. At this point I would not care if Allred alleged Mitt Romney slept with Mother Theresa. Nor would I care if he actually DID sleep with Mother Theresa. I would still support Romney in order to get Obama and his clan out of the White House and out of Washington. Indeed, if I was Romney's campaign manager, I would have 1,000,000 posters of Monica Lewinsky printed up and ready to paste up on every telephone pole and billboard across the country, and to insert into every newspaper and every website possible. And the caption should be, "If you think it is okay for a sitting Democratic president to ejaculate on the blue dress of a young female intern in the White House and to shove cigars into her vagina, then you have no business attacking any Republican candidate."

Maybe Miss Allred should represent Eva Longoria in her "Twat Tweet" controversy since Eva is being so unfairly attacked by all those people calling for her to step down as Co-chair of the Obama campaign. So unfair. So mean. (Yes, I am being sarcastic.) But those pitying Ms. Longoria all come from the same mold as Obama, and their motto is: Cry foul when the truth is about you, and make up lies when the truth is not in your favor.

All we can do is wait.

Jimmy Kimmel Asks Who Won Debate BEFORE It Begins

Suspecting that many Americans do not watch the presidential debates and are ashamed to admit it, Jimmy Kimmel sent a reporter out to the street to ask passersby who they thought won the second debate. The problem for the interviewees was that he asked them on Tuesday afternoon who they thought won the previous night's debate. In other words, the debate had not occurred yet. It was still four hours until the start of the contest. Here is the video.


Although Kimmel's editors cut out the responses as to which candidate many of the respondents thought won the debate, I highly suspect they were Obama supporters all. They take after him after all -- clueless!

Take the actress Eva Longoria, for example. She is a co-chair of the Obama campaign. That in and of itself is ridiculous. Her disgusting action on Wednesday should necessitate her to step down from the campaign. She re-tweeted something one of her followers posted to her:
@evalongoria I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic twat
Longoria erased the re-tweet, then tried to blame it on the 18 year old girl who sent it to her. What a classy lady -- NOT! She is as clueless as all of Obama's robots. November 6 cannot come soon enough!
