Lt. Michael Behenna released...FINALLY!

Written by The Oklahoman on . Posted in National News

Publisher's note:  Perhaps because the eyes of the world are and have been focused back and forth between the heated situation in the Ukraine and the as yet unknown fate of 239 souls aboard Maylasia Flight 370, barely a word has been spoken about the answered prayers and release of wrongfully imprisoned US Army Lt. Michael Behenna.

However, it finally happened yesterday afternoon.  No fanfare, no crowd of reporters, no ticker tape parade, nor a single yellow ribbon just outside the grounds of Ft. Leavenworth, TX; only the family and girlfriend of this American hero that was sent to war and punished by an administration that is focused on appeasing our enemies at all costs.  In the end, I doubt this young man was interested in seeing anyone else anyway.

The Patriots Press salutes Lt. Michael Behenna; your story of strength and forbearance through one of the many unimaginable military nightmares in our recent history is one all Americans can look up to.  You held your head high and finished this chapter of your life with honor.  God Bless you Lieutenant. Michael Behenna.

The Oklahoman:  FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — Nervous energy coursed through the Behenna family Friday morning as they waited in a parking lot just outside the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. The ominous walls of the historic military prison loomed behind them as they scanned a nearby street for a white van.  

“He’s supposed to come from that way,” Vicki Behenna said pointing east toward the main prison entrance. “But who knows with this place. He could come from anywhere.”

Just then, a white van approached on a side road from the opposite direction, turned into the lot and crawled to a stop in front of the small group of supporters.

A young uniformed woman stepped from the driver’s seat. After checking the family’s identifications, she turned and retreated to the back of the van and opened the doors. After serving five years in prison for the 2008 killing of an Iraqi man, former U.S. Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna emerged to the cheers of his family.

IRS Scandal Traced to Oval Office

Written by World Net Daily on . Posted in National News

Publisher's note:  Well, this isn't glamorous, but it could very well be the straw that broke the camel's back for this most corrupt and criminal administration.  I find it kind of ironic that they finally got to the most infamous Chicago Gangster of all time, Al Capone, via the IRS, and now perhaps another Chicago Gangster, (albeit a lightweight one) may be gotten to via the same agency.  One can only hope.

World Net Daily:  NEW YORK – A House committee investigating the IRS scandal has found a link between President Obama’s criticism of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision and subsequent steps taken by IRS official Lois Lerner to discriminate against conservative groups.

Lerner was responding to political pressure in her efforts to clamp down on conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status in the wake of the 2012 Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, concluded a 141-page report released last Tuesday by the Republican-majority staff of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Lerner twice has invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer questions in appearances before the committee.

The report clearly raised the question of whether or not the political pressure came from the White House.

“It’s not the job of the IRS to overrule the Supreme Court, and it’s not the job of the IRS to crush political movements its leaders dislike,” the report said. “Her deep involvement in this scheme raises even more questions about who else was involved – including at the White House.”

The report said Lerner “led efforts to scrutinize conservative groups while working to maintain a veneer of objective enforcement.”

Following Obama’s lead?

The House report linked statements made by President Obama in political speeches during the 2010 mid-term election attacking the Citizens United Supreme Court decision with emails and speeches Lerner subsequently wrote expressing her intent to administer the IRS tax-exempt division in a partisan manner.

Calling all Patriots...A time for action

Written by The Patriots Press on . Posted in National News

On Monday, May 5, 2014 and the days leading up to it, there is going to be a very patriotic, nationwide show of intolerance to anti-Americanism and to those who disrespect America’s flag and values.  This is very much an American Pride Day and we need to see all American Patriots sporting some sort of US Flag, gathering on the overpasses, riding on the highways, and doing whatever else we all do.  

Here’s why; the Ninth Circuit Court has ruled to allow CA schools to ban students from wearing Tee-shirts printed with the American Flag or other American Patriotic paraphernalia on Cinco de Mayo (a Mexican holiday), so as not to offend students, largely here illegally, that may be celebrating Mexico’s Independence. 

In response, The Patriots Press is joining the many already mobilizing around the country to make a clear statement about this and invites all Patriots with school age kids to join this movement and send your kids to school adorned with an American Flag that day!  

I also urge all parents to support the effort and your children by personally going to their school that day sporting the American Flag to insure the message is clear and invite as many parents as possible to join you.  We the People must make a stand!

For all the rest without kids; join the Bikers, Truckers, Parents, Seniors, Veterans, and all American Patriots in shouting the message that We the People are no longer allowing our flag and culture to be trampled on by immigrants, legal or otherwise, that do not respect and won't assimilate to our values.

This isn’t just for one day either.  We the People need to need to show our American Pride every day and get back to the sense of unity we all felt as a nation during the immediate days after 9/11.

The Patriots Press is proud to support this very worthy cause and we will update this notice as information regarding special events and activities becomes available.  In the meantime, you may gather information and find out about it on FaceBook here.  God Bless America.

Christian Homeschoolers may be deported

Written by Fox News on . Posted in National News

Publisher's note:  How is this possible?!  A family of legal immigrants that came here in 2008 seeking political asylum so they could freely exersise their faith and home school their children just like scores of men, women, and children did back in the early part of the 1600's is facing deportation.  They are facing deportation because our current administration does not believe that German Law forbidding home schooling constitutes persecution, when clearly they may lose custody of their children if returned to Germany.  

We in America need to be aware and very concerned about this situation, because with the growing dark cloud of Common Core and anti-Christian sentiment in our own back yard, it could very likely set a precedent of governmental interference with home schooling in the United States. 

Fox News:  Uwe and Hannelore Romeike came to the United States in 2008 seeking political asylum. They fled their German homeland in the face of religious persecution for homeschooling their children.  They wanted to live in a country where they could raise their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs.

The Romeikes were initially given asylum, but the Obama administration objected – claiming that German laws that outlaw homeschooling do not constitute persecution.

“The goal in Germany is for an open, pluralistic society,” the Justice Department wrote in a legal brief last year. “Teaching tolerance to children of all backgrounds helps to develop the ability to interact as a fully functioning citizen in Germany.”

On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the Romeike’s appeal – paving the way for the Christian family of eight to be deported.

Palace for a Prelate

Written by Fox News on . Posted in National News

Publisher's note:  At a time when many people across the board are cutting back amid financial and economic uncertainty, I find this story of an over-indulging Catholic Prelate as bizarre as the church faithful in New Jersey do.  At bare minimum, it is hard to understand why a retiring priest, (a single man) of any rank would require such a lavish expansion to an already huge home; to ask the members of his Dioceses foot the bill is equally hard to imagine.  When one considers the additional costs of utilities and maintenance that will result from this, it is small wonder why a lot of people are considering stuffing the offering plates with empty envelopes.  I think Arch Bishop John Myers might want to consider switching sides in the confessional.  Just sayin.'

Fox News:   Angry parishioners in New Jersey are withholding donations following reports that Newark Archbishop John Myers is building a pricey addition to his lavish retirement home.

The faithful are upset that Myers, who likes to be called “Your Grace,” is spending more than $500,000 to expand a palatial home in New Jersey's Franklin Township that he now uses as a weekend retreat.

The Newark Star-Ledger reports parishioners are cutting off donations or sharply curtailing them “infuriated by what they call a tone-deaf show of excess at a time when Catholic schools are closing and when the pope has called on bishops to shed the trappings of luxury.”

Joe Ferri, 70, told the newspaper he writes a $100 check to the Archdiocese of Newark each year for the archbishop’s annual appeal, but he didn’t send money this year after he read about Myers’ expansion plans.

"If this is the only way I can be heard, so be it," said Ferri, a parishioner at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Bloomfield. "I’m disgusted. The archdiocese is not going to get another penny out of me."
