NYC Catholics And Jews Join To Fight Democrat Assaults On Religious Liberty

The Diocese of Brooklyn and Agudath Israel of America have filed lawsuits against Governor

Cuomo’s arbitrary and capricious COVID restrictions on religious assembly.

According to New York’s WABC-TV, The Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn on Thursday, filed a lawsuit in federal court against the state of New York, on the basis of violating their First Amendment right, the free exercise of religion. The lawsuit is in response to the New York State executive order issued this week that reduces capacity at Catholic Churches throughout Brooklyn and Queens.

“The executive orders this week have left us with no other option than to go to court. Our churches have the capacity to accommodate many worshippers and to reset our attendance capacity to 10 people maximum in the red zone, and 25 people in the orange zone, when we have had no significant cases, impedes our right to worship and cannot stand,” Bishop of Brooklyn Nicholas DiMarzio said. “The State has completely disregarded the fact that our safety protocols have worked and it is an insult to once again penalize all those who have made the safe return to Church work.”

7 Reasons Joe Biden Isn’t Qualified to Be President

It is generally accepted that for someone seeking a professional position in the marketplace, to be QUALIFIED to fill the requirements of the position. The office of President of the United States of America should be no less. Our president should be eminently qualified. As you read this newsletter, America has only a few days left to decide IF we want a Constitutional Republic as we have been so blessed to experience for the past 244 years OR devolve into a banana republic, better known as a Socialists-Marxists-BLM-Democratic nation. The CHOICE could not be more clear. We have seen and heard some of the voices against the reelection of President TRUMP, yet, we must recognize that Trump is QUALIFIED to be President. He has shown this in the extremely LONG list of accomplishments for America. President Trump stands for our Bill of Rights, including Our Religious Liberties, our right to keep and bear arms. He has stood firmly for the RIGHT TO LIFE, and against Abortion. President Trump has stood with Israel. He has protected our southern borders from the invasion of illegal immigrants. He has taken a stand for Marriage and the FREEDOM of worship and the re-opening of our churches.

BUT, we are told that Joe Biden should be elected, yet, in a close examination we find that JOE BIDEN IS DISQUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT. We are considering ONLY SEVEN reasons for Biden’s disqualifications as follows:

1.   MORALLY: Joe Biden is not morally qualified to serve as president based on His own statements and his moral choices. Biden says openly that the number one PRIORITY after election will be to enact federal law either by executive orders or by legislation, “The Equality Act”. This is HB-5 that Nancy Pelosi passed in the US House with 240 votes and is now in the Senate with 47 senators having signed on for approval. The Equality Act is a bill that legislates the morality for our nation. It is the LGBTQ agenda put into law. Should Biden get elected and the Equality Act become the law of the land, it will: bring about the persecution of Christians, Churches, Christian adoption agencies, and Christian Schools and colleges. It will force Christian bakers, florist and business to go against their Biblical, Christian consciences and hire Sodomites. It will provide insurance coverage that pays for abortion for all of their employees. This law would force pastors and churches to be silent on any and all issues that touch on the life and lifestyle of the LGBTQ agenda OR be prosecuted. This new federal Law would force all bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, and dressing rooms to be OPEN to perverts that would prey on young girls and our mothers and wives. RESEARCH H B-5 for a real eye-opener.

2.   SPIRITUALLY: Yes, Joe Biden is NOT qualified to be president based on Biblical principles as found in Exodus 18:21. The Bible is clear, we must elect MEN that Reverence God. This means Men that honor God, fear God and obey HIM. Yet, Biden says that Christians are “THE DREGS OF SOCIETY” (Biden quote 2018 as he addresses the LGBTQ activists). Joe Biden does not reverence God, he literally spits in the face of God. Joe Biden is for murder by abortion up to and including even after delivery. The Bible calls this murder, Exodus 20:13. America is guilty of murdering about 61 million babies in the mother’s womb since Roe vs Wade in 1973. This is the main reason the socialists-Marxists-BLM- Democrats have fought so hard against Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination for the supreme court. Biden is perhaps the most PRO-ABORTION, PRO-SODOMITE, ANTI-GOD candidate in recent history.

3.   ETHICALLY: Joe Biden and his son Hunter have used Joe Biden’s political position as Senator and Vice President with Obama for years to enrich themselves. Joe Biden has been in the Washington beltway for about 50 years, yet he cannot point to a single thing done legislatively for the American people, contrariwise Joe just last year had an income of about $13.2 million dollars that he paid VERY LITTLE taxes on while blaming President Trump for his small tax payment. Joe Biden’s son through Joe’s influence was able to receive over $50,000.00 per month to sit on a board out of the Ukraine. Hunter Biden also received a $1.5 Billion contribution to his investment portfolio to reinvest for the Chinese communist government, of which the Chinese were able to make approximately 3.5 trillion dollars from American businesses. The full facts and TRUTH of these illegal acts are JUST NOW being completely revealed. JOE BIDEN is Not concerned about America. His ethics are only what will enrich the Biden family and their friends.

4.   ECONOMICALLY: Joe Biden is a Socialists-Marxists Globalists. Joe is NOT interested in the financial condition of America. Biden has committed to provide FREE medical care for everyone including illegal immigrants; FREE education for all in America, both citizens and illegals (of which, according to researchers, Biden intends on bringing another 52 million immigrants into America). Biden says that he will cancel the TRUMP tax cuts, which will cause the loss of about $2,000 per household of American citizens. Biden has fully committed to “The Green New Deal” that will cost taxpayers upward of one hundred trillion dollars over the next ten years. This will destroy our oil drilling and natural gas production. It will destroy the coal industry. It will destroy the airline commerce and will cause the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs for Americans. Biden sees America as under the rule and authority of the U.N, NOT as a sovereign nation. YES, under a Biden administration, America could easily be plunged into a national depression that would make the 1929-33 depression look like a child’s picnic.

5.   POLITICALLY: Joe Biden has been in the DC political beltway for almost 50 years as a politician. But, he now plans to do what he has NOT been able to do in the past 50 years. If elected president Joe plans to PACK the Supreme Court. He wants the courts to become a SUPER legislative body, rather than a judicial body. What the Socialists-Marxists-BLM-Democrats could not do legislatively they intend to do via the courts. Biden has NO concerns for Americans’ safety or security as a president will swear under oath to protect and defend when elected. Joe and all of the Left have used the BLM terrorists THUGS to burn, vandalize, loot, pillage, and destroy billions of dollars of property in America, yet, they have remained completely silent. WHY?? Because Biden and the Left want to see the constitutional Republic known as America destroyed so that they can bring in the New World Order, the global government with the loss of American sovereignty. Keep in mind Kamala Harris has said that the riots by the BLM should continue up to and beyond the election. Remember the Marxists tactic is to divide a nation and thus be able to overthrow its foundations. Jesus reminds us that a nation or house divided against itself shall not stand (Matthew 12:25).

6.   CONSTITUTIONALLY: Joe Biden will destroy our constitution. In particular our Bill of Rights. He has emphatically stated that he intends on the cancellation of our second amendment rights to keep and bear arms. He will confiscate privately held firearms. He has said that he will institute the LGBTQ agenda and that it will take priority over ANY religious liberties. We have already witnessed the stage rehearsal of the coming persecution and prosecution of the churches in America. Joe will use HB-5 to carry out his agenda to destroy our constitutional liberties and freedoms. Through open borders, Joe will destroy our sovereignty and surrender our national security to the United Nations, NOT American-constitutional law, but, international law. Remember it was Ruth Bader Ginsberg who said that we should use international law and our constitution to decide legal issues before the courts.

7.   COGNITIVELY: It is no longer a suspicion or a theory, but a fully recognized fact that Joe Biden is not mentally or cognitively capable of administering the office of president. He forgets what city or state he is speaking in. He cannot finish most sentences and patterns of thought. He will begin a statement and wander off into another thought and statement with NO connectivity. Joe cannot speak without the aid of a teleprompter, or having note cards, and or someone providing him with the answers to any questions. Joe has completely avoided the open, hard questions from any of the press. Joe has remained hidden in his basement, rather than facing the public scrutiny. Just this week the former OBAMA physician said; “something is NOT right” with the democratic presidential nominee. Yes, Dr. Ronny Jackson the former White House physician to Obama, said Joe, is “JUST LOST” AND SUGGESTED THAT BIDEN should take some kind of cognitive test. Why? Because he seems to have “many blunders, outbursts of anger, moments of confusion, and slurred speech.” America just cannot afford to elect Joe Biden as President of the United States of America. The risk is just too great.
This is why I am personally voting for President Trump who has a proven record of standing for America, standing against murder by abortion, standing for our religious liberties and our right to keep and bear arms. President Trump has stood with Israel and provided political leadership to preserve our constitutional republic as no other president in recent history.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Remember our VOTE by November 3rd will determine the future destiny of America.

Turkey Rekindles the Armenian Genocide

As it has done in other arenas where “extremists” are attacking moderates or Christians—from Syria to Libya to Nigeria—Turkey is spearheading another jihad, this time against Christian Armenia.

Context: Fighting recently erupted in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which borders Armenia and Azerbaijan.  Although it is ethnically Armenian, after the dissolution of the USSR, the territory was allotted to Muslim Azerbaijan.  Since then, hostilities and skirmishes have erupted, though the current one, if not quenched—an Azerbaijani drone was shot down above the Armenian capital and Azerbaijan is threatening to bomb Armenia’s unsecure nuclear power plant—can have serious consequences, including internationally.

By doing what it does best—funding, sponsoring, and transporting terrorists to troubled regions—Turkey has exacerbated if not sparked tensions.  Several reports and testimonials, including by an independent French journalist, have confirmed that Turkey is funneling jihadi groups that had been operating in Syria and Libya—including the pro-Muslim Brotherhood Hamza Division, which kept naked, sex slave women in prison—to this latest theater of conflict.

As French president Macron recently explained, “We now have information which indicates that Syrian fighters from jihadist groups have (transited) through Gaziantep (southeastern Turkey) to reach the Nagorno-Karabakh theatre of operations….  It is a very serious new fact, which changes the situation.”

The “quality” of these incoming “freedom fighters”—as the Western mainstream media, particularly during the Obama era, was wont to call them—is further evidenced by their attempts to enforce sharia, Islamic law, on some of their more secularized hosts in Azerbaijan.

After asking, “Why has Turkey returned to the South Caucasus 100 years [after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire]?” Nikol Pashinyan, Armenia’s prime minister, answered in a statement:  “To continue the Armenian Genocide.”  This is a reference to the well documented massacre of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians, 750,000 Greeks and 300,000 Assyrians—a total of 2.5 million Christians—slaughtered at the hands of Turks and in the name of jihad.

While Pashinyan is correct in characterizing the latest hostilities as a reflection of Turkey’s attempt “to continue the Armenian Genocide” of the nineteenth-twentieth centuries, in fact, the continuum of Turkic attacks on Armenia stretch back more than a thousand years ago, when the Turks first cleansed the Armenians from their ancient homeland, also in accordance with jihadi ideology.

Then and now, Azerbaijanis participated.  During one of the eleventh century jihads on Armenia, the great cross of an ancient church was torn down, mocked and desecrated, and then sent to adorn a mosque in Azerbaijan; more recently, after hostilities erupted, Azerbaijanis surrounded the Armenian embassy in Washington, D.C. this last summer, while chanting about jihad.

The Armenian prime minister continues:

For Turkey, however, continuing a genocidal policy is not only a means of implementing Armenophobia, but also a pragmatic task. Armenia and the Armenians of the South Caucasus are the last remaining obstacle on the way of continued Turkish expansion towards the North, the North East, and the East, and the realization of its imperialistic dream.

It is no longer merely the Karabakh issue, nor a security issue of the Armenian people. It is now an issue of international security, and today, the Armenian people are defending also international security, assuming what may be a new historic mission.

In other words, he is saying that only Christian Armenia (Georgia would be included too) stands between Turkey and some sort of unification with the many Muslim nations to its east (the “Stans,” e.g., Turkmenistan).

Certainly Turkey’s ambitions are not to be doubted.  Whether by citing history’s most sadistic jihadis as paragons of virtue and emulation, or by transforming the Hagia Sophia into a mosque, or by helping to destabilize moderate Muslim governments and slaughter Christians with its jihadi militias, Turkey’s imperialistic dreams of resuccisitating the Ottoman Empire have been increasingly on display.

The editor-in-chief of Yeni Safak, a Turkish newspaper, recently called for as much in an article partially titled “Turkey is a global power. Now it’s time for Azerbaijan to rise.”  After saying that Turkey had taken  “a century-long hiatus” from its “geopolitical” ambitions and its “region-builder mind that founded very powerful empires on earth,” the Turkish daily claimed that “Our aim is not to spread conflicts but to replace, reinstate what rightfully belongs to us. Our aim is to keep alive and maintain our region, our people, our resources, our identity, and belonging.”

Despite all this and as it was during Obama’s role in the “Arab Spring,” the U.S. finds itself on the side of the jihad, even if unwittingly.  “The international community, especially the American society,” Pashinyan warned, “should be aware that U.S.-made F-16s are being used to kill Armenians in this conflict.”  Because both the U.S. and Turkey are NATO members, Turkey is acquiring and using against Armenians weapons from the U.S.

And so history continues to repeat itself—in all ways.

ARMENIA PURGE IS UNDERWAY

Armenia and Azerbaijan Truce Breaks Down Within Hours

YEREVAN/BAKU—Armenia and Azerbaijan accused each other on Oct. 18 of violating a new humanitarian ceasefire in fighting over the mountain enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, hours after it was agreed.

The truce agreed on Oct. 17 came into force at midnight (2000 GMT) after a week-old Russian-brokered ceasefire failed to halt the worst fighting in the South Caucasus since the 1990s. At least 750 people have been killed since fighting began on Sept. 27.

At 1010 GMT, the Azeri defense ministry said the Aghdam region, adjacent Nagorno-Karabakh, was under Armenian shelling. It said overnight Armenian military units opened fire from large-caliber weapons along the border, which Armenia denied.

Armenia said the Azeri army had fired twice during the night and used artillery and accused Baku of rejecting its request to withdraw the wounded soldiers from the battlefield.

“This step … was categorically rejected by Baku,” the foreign ministry said in a statement. Baku called the statement misinformation.

The Azeri defense ministry said: “The enemy fired at the vicinity of the Jabrail city, as well as the villages of this region … using mortars

and artillery.” It added that the Azeri army “took adequate retaliatory measures.”

The ministry said that Azeri military units downed an Armenian Su-25 warplane, “which was attempting to inflict airstrikes on the positions of the Azeri army in the Jabrail region.” Yerevan swiftly denied that.

Officials in Nagorno-Karabakh said Azeri forces had launched an attack on the enclave’s military positions, and there were casualties and wounded on both sides.

territory that is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but populated and governed by ethnic Armenians.

The ceasefire earlier this month was aimed at letting the sides swap detainees and bodies of those killed in the clashes, but it had little impact on the fighting around the enclave.

The new truce was announced on Oct. 17 after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov talked to his Armenian and Azeri counterparts by phone and called on sides to observe the truce that he mediated a week ago.

Russia, France, and the United States belong to

the Minsk Group, which has attempted to help resolve the conflict under the umbrella of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Baku said on Oct. 17 that 60 Azeri civilians had been killed and 270 wounded since the fighting flared on Sept. 27. It has not disclosed its military casualties.

New Data Analysis Finds 353 Counties With 1.8 Million More Registered Voters Than Eligible Citizens

MARK TAPSCOTT

A total of 353 counties in 29 U.S. states have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens, according to an analysis by Judicial Watch.

In addition, eight states, including Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont, were found to have statewide registered voter totals that exceeded 100 percent of eligible voters, according to the nonprofit government watchdog.

Judicial Watch compared the registration data available for 37 states with the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recently available American Community Survey (ACS) numbers for the period 2014–2018 on a county-bycounty basis. “This new study shows 1.8 million excess, or ‘ghost’ voters, in 353 counties across 29 states,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement announcing the study Oct. 16. “This data highlights the recklessness of mailing blindly ballots and ballot applications to voter registration lists. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.”

The nonprofit said its study “is necessarily limited to 37 states that post regular updates to their registration data. Certain state voter registration lists may also be even larger than reported, because they may have excluded ‘inactive voters’ from their data.”

“Inactive voters, who may have moved elsewhere, are still registered voters and may show up and vote on election day and/or request mail-in ballots.”

In a similar study last year by Judicial Watch, 372 counties were found to have more registered voters than those eligible to vote. The ACS data in that analysis covered the period 2013–2017.

States are required under a federal law approved in 1993 to make all reasonable efforts to maintain updated voter registration rolls, but enforcement of the statute was almost nonexistent until recent years when Judicial Watch began suing individual states.

Earlier this month, for example, Judicial Watch sued Colorado seeking to force it to clean up its registration rolls. At least 42 of Colorado’s 60 counties have more registered voters than eligible citizens, according to the latest Judicial Watch analysis. Denver County’s registered voter total equals 103 percent.

The nonprofit sued Illinois in federal court in September seeking to obtain registration data the state has refused to make available, a violation of the 1993 law.

The Supreme Court in 2018 upheld a Judicial Watch settlement with Ohio in which that state agreed to a cleanup program of the registration rolls.

A settlement last year of a Judicial Watch suit against California resulted in Los Angeles County officials agreeing to actions that could result in the removal of 1.5 million inactive voters.

The results of the Judicial Watch analysis come as the nation nears the end of the 2020 campaign, which has been marked by massive efforts by Democratic state and local officials, encouraged by colleagues in Congress, to use mail-in ballots as widely as possible.

The mail-in ballots are claimed to be required to accommodate voters concerned about being in large crowds and thereby being potentially exposed to the CCP virus, also known as the novel coronavirus.

A national lockdown of the economy and restrictions on movement of the populace that began in March remains in place to greater or lesser degrees seven months later, with the strictest restrictions generally being found in Democratic states. There have been multiple news reports in recent weeks of thousands of mail-in ballots being trashed, along with accusations in several cases that the destroyed or trashed documents were by voters intending to support Republican candidates.

Some of the reports have also included absentee ballots, but there’s less controversy about them because states have long experience in dealing with such voting.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly predicted that the widespread use of mail-in ballots will encourage voting fraud, potentially delaying by days or even weeks a clear determination of whether he or Democratic rival former Vice President Joe Biden, will occupy the Oval Office in 2021.

“There is fraud; they found them in creeks, they found them with the name Trump in a wastepaper basket,” Trump declared during his first nationally televised debate with Biden. “This will be a fraud like you have never seen.”

In one case, Stefan Neimann, a German journalist living in the District of Columbia, reported receiving three blank mail-in ballots, including one to an individual known to be deceased.

“The chaos that Trump lamented with the delivery of mail voting papers is here. I am not allowed to vote here,” Niemann wrote in a tweet, according to a translation.

“But three ballots came to my Washington address: for the previous tenant who moved five years ago, the landlady living in Puerto Rico, and her deceased husband,” he said. Biden insisted during the debate, however, that there is “no evidence” of fraudulent mail-in voting.

At least 25 million people have already voted in the 2020 election, thanks to numerous states beginning to allow ballots to be cast prior to Nov. 3, with Florida having an estimated 1.6 million. At the same point in the 2016 election, fewer than 2 million voters had cast ballots.
