Pray For The Police
The black Milwaukee policeman who survived a confrontation in the streets on August 13th is now in real jeopardy. The progressives figured out who he was.
They published his name, Dominique Heaggan-Brown, his photo and his home address. It has been all over social media in the past 24 hours. There are thousands of death threats against him and his family.
That is where the hate in America is coming from. I am waiting for the first major American media outlet to expose it, but I won’t hold my breath.
Pray for Officer Heaggan-Brown and his family. Pray for all the men and women on the thin blue line.

Obamacare Is Collapsing
President Obama’s signature legislative accomplishment — Obamacare — is collapsing. Here’s the latest:
- Aetna is abandoning the federal government’s managed healthcare scheme. Humana and United Healthcare have already abandoned the exchanges.
- Blue Shield of California announced that it will begin furloughing workers.
- Two-thirds of the co-ops established by the Affordable Care Act have shut down.
- Major double-digit premium increases are expected in several states. It seems the “Affordable” Care Act really isn’t affordable after all.All of this is happening for the same reason — Obamacare is proving to be financially unsustainable.
Not surprisingly, one report warned last week, “Next President Faces Possible Obamacare Meltdown.”
One of the major arguments that critics like us made against Obamacare was that everybody who was sick or who feared that their health was likely to decline in the years ahead would rush to sign up. Millions of Americans who are healthy and younger soon found that it was cheaper to pay the penalty rather than get into policies they didn’t like and could barely afford, which was exactly what conservatives in and out of Congress predicted.
Obamacare was fatally flawed and assumed people would react irrationally. Yet liberals kept claiming that more people would be covered and it would cost less. If that was possible, it would have been done fifty years ago.
Black Churches Rebuke Black Lives Matter
Earlier this month, the Black Lives Matter movement released a platform outlining its views on a variety of issues, including the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Among other lies, the BLM plank accused Israel of being “an apartheid state” that was “guilty of genocide.” It urged lawmakers to cut off aid to Israel and recommended nationwide campaigns demanding divestment from Israel.
Incredibly, there was not one word about the relentless terror campaigns waged against Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and elements of the Palestinian Authority. There was no condemnation of any Middle East regime that denies basic human rights to minorities or prohibits the freedom of religion.
This is raw anti-Semitism plain and simple. As Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz wrote in response, “singling Israel out and falsely accusing it of ‘genocide’ can be explained in no other way than blatant hatred of Jews and their state.”
Now some black churches are speaking up. Kudos to Bishop Lawrence M. Wooten, president of Ecumenical Leadership Council-St. Louis. He published an open letter this week in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch rebuking the BLM movement.
Bishop Wooten wrote: “The Ecumenical Leadership Council of Missouri, representing hundreds of predominantly African-American churches throughout the state, rejects without hesitation any notion or assertion that Israel operates as an apartheid country. We embrace our Jewish brethren in America and respect Israel as a Jewish state.”
I encourage all our readers, especially those in Missouri where the Black Lives Matter movement has been so active, to contact Bishop Wooten and thank him for standing with Israel.
