Sri Lankan authorities said an international terror group likely supported an obscure local Islamist group in carrying out a series of bombings that killed at least 290 people on Easter Sunday, weeks after the government had received warnings from the U.S. and India about a possible attack.
It is sad that Christians continue to face attacks from Islamists. It is also sad that security officials warned Sri Lanka in India and the U.S. on April 4 that they had picked up indications that attacks were being planned in Sri Lanka. While those warnings didn’t include the name of a group, Sri Lankan security officials linked them to National Thowheeth Jamath in a circular it distributed to police authorities on April 9.
The bomb attacks in Sri Lanka killed at least 290 people and wounded hundreds of others from Sri Lanka and some tourists.
The Suicide bombers struck three Christian churches and four luxury hotels in the cities of Colombo, Negombo and Batticaloa on Sunday morning.
The majority of the dead and injured were Sri Lankans.
But it seems the bombers had bigger plans.
Police said they discovered 87 detonators, apparently abandoned, at a private bus stand in the capital. Two more explosive devices were also discovered, one late Sunday near the airport and another on Monday in a van near the location where one of at least eight blasts occurred on Sunday. Police conducted a controlled detonation of the device found on Monday, causing no injuries.
Why is it that this isn’t headlined news among liberal news channels? When the attacks in New Zealand happeded it was non-stop news among the liberal news. We know why. Because this is an attack by Muslims and the attack in New Zealand was labeled a white supremacist. Muslims have also been killing hundreds of Christians in Nigeria.
It has become clear that the Democrats in America are protecting Muslims who have become increasingly violent and remain silent on the killing of innocent Christians.
McGahn was requested to appear before the committee May 21.
We knew that the Democrats would not stop until President Trump has been charged with something. Whether it was collusion or now obstruction. Today House Judiciary chairman Nadler subpoenaed Ex-White House counsel McGahn. McGahn has been targeted as the new person who can take down Trump.
Nadler described McGahn, who stepped down as White House counsel in October 2018, as “a critical witness to many of the alleged instances of obstruction of justice and other misconduct described in the Special Counsel’s report.”
“His [McGahn’s] testimony will help shed further light on the President’s attacks on the rule of law, and his attempts to cover up those actions by lying to the American people and requesting others do the same,” Nadler said.
According to the Mueller report: “The President asked McGahn, ‘Did I say the word “fire”?’ McGahn responded, ‘What you said is, “Call Rod [Rosenstein], tell Rod that Mueller has conflicts and can’t be the Special Counsel.”‘ The President responded, ‘I never said that.'”
Later in the same conversation, Trump asked McGahn if he would correct the Times article “and McGhan said no.”
Nadler has asked McGahn to appear before the committee on May 21.
Conservative Journalist Crashes Press Conference With Congressman TJ Cox & Jim Costa & Gets Kicked Out By Security
Conservative Journalist, Ben Bergquam of KGED 1680 Talk Radio & FrontlineAmerica.com, was kicked out by security while trying to report on a press conference Tuesday afternoon. The press conference was held by several San Joaquin leaders that oppose President Trump’s reinstatement of the United States Social Security Administration’s “no-match” letters program. This program requires the Social Security office to report W-2’s where the name and the Social Security number do not match. These Valley Representatives believe this unfairly targets illegal immigrants and want to protect them over Americans and American jobs.
Come stand with me and other patriots at one of these great events.
Rally for Free Speech

Location: City Hall in SF, 1 Dr. Carlton B Goodlet Pl, San Francisco, CA 94102
It has been almost two years since I started this journey to fight for America. Every moment has been an adventure. Many know I have a full-time day job besides Unite America First. But that is about change and I am stepping out in faith and becoming an activist full-time. But in order to do that, I need your support. Please consider helping fund Unite America first in one or more ways.
Several Valley leaders, including Fresno congressmen Jim Costa and TJ Cox, announced their opposition to letters sent to local employers by the Social Security Administration that the officials say are targeting undocumented workers.

The other part of this story is, an American citizen and journalist tried to attend the press conference to ask questions and they were thrown out of the press conference by security. Why is it that these Democrat Representatives care more about illegals coming into our country, breaking laws & lying to our government and yet they don’t care about American citizens rights. They don’t care about answering to their American citizens. This is what’s wrong with the Democrat party today.
Vice President Mike Pence is getting pushback from Taylor University students and alumni after the small evangelical Christian school tapped the former Indiana governor to be this year’s commencement speaker. Those protesting Pence’s invitation to the Upland school with less than 2,000 undergrads argue he doesn’t represent their Christian values and makes them feel unsafe.
Taylor University in Indiana arranged for Vice President Pence to be their commencement speaker. This being a Christain college, I would expect the students and alumni to be excited and honored to have him as a speaker. How is it that over 3,000 students and alumni feel that Pence doesn’t represent their values and makes them feel unsafe?
Upset alumni and students are voicing their anger as South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential hopeful, criticized Pence. Buttigieg, who is openly gay, discussed his sexual orientation during an event hosted by the LGBTQ Victory Fund, saying: “If me being gay was a choice, it was made far, far above my pay grade … That’s the thing that I wish the Mike Pence’s of the world would understand – that if you got a problem with who I am – your problem is not with me, your quarrel sir, is with my creator.”
The vice president hit back saying Buttigieg “knows better.”
Kevin Holtsberry, a Taylor alumni, told “Fox & Friends” Monday morning the outraged alumni and students are mistaking disagreement on political issues with personal attacks, while also thanking the school for “standing firm” and not pulling Pence’s invitation.
How is it that “Christians” are crying about a “Christain” being a speaker. If they are all “Christians” their values should all be the same. Seems to me there are a lot of cry babies that are lukewarm Christians graduating from Taylor University. We should question what they have been taught and the values they hold. There is a sad state of affairs when graduates feel unsafe simply because someone that has a different opinion than them is speaking. What does this say about the generation coming?
“Since making the announcement of Vice President Mike Pence’s upcoming commencement speech, we have received feedback from people on either side of the issue. Taylor University is an intentional Christian community that strives to encourage positive, respectful and meaningful dialogue,” Taylor University spokesman, James Garringer, said in a statement.
2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. promised on Saturday to “bring a fight” to the National Rifle Association, as he called for a range of gun control reforms as part of the hometown launch of his national campaign.
On Saturday Cory Booker kicked off a two-week campaign tour in Newark. The message was reminiscent of Michelle Obama’s statement, “When they go low we go high.” Booker said,
“Critics will tell us that a campaign powered by grace and love and a deep faith in each other” cannot prevail. “But I say it’s the only way we win. The president wants a race to the gutter and to fight us in the gutter. To win, we have to fight from higher ground in order to bring this country to higher ground.”
Booker also announced he is bringing a fight the NRA and our 2nd Amendment rights calling for a range of gun control reforms.
“We won’t wait for more thoughts and prayers for communities that have been shattered by gun violence from Pittsburgh to Parkland to Charleston,” he told the crowd in Newark, where he served as mayor for seven years before becoming a senator. “We will pass universal background checks, we will ban assault weapons and close loopholes that allow people who never should have a gun to get one.”
“And folks, we will bring a fight to the NRA like they have never, ever seen before — and we will win,” he said.
The Constitution was created to limit the power of government, not the liberty or freedom of the people! Politicians must always protect our right to defend ourselves and our loved ones! The Second Amendment guarantees that right!
Booker is focusing on Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina. In the 2016 Presidential election, Trump won Iowa and South Carolina while Hillary won Nevada and New Hampshire.
