bad judges = no justice

Family questions sentence 'affluenza' judge gave their teen

The same judge who sentenced a 16 yr. old with court-appointed lawyer to 20 years in prison for killing one person DUI sentences 16 year old "affluenza" Ethan Couch, who killed four people DUI, to 10 years probation. This is NOT equal justice under the law! The judge may not be "a bad person"; but, the judge is a bad judge--making a mockery of our justice system.

Now I lay me down to sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I die before I awake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
Amen.

Congressman says that visa for terrorist was "sloppily approved"

Congressman: Tashfeen Malik's Visa Was 'Sloppily Approved' | The Daily Caller 

"Immigration law requires that a U.S. citizen — such as the Chicago-born Farook — must have met their foreign national fiancĂ©e in person before applying for the visa — a measure which is meant to prove that the relationship is sincere.

But according to Goodlatte, it is not clear from Malik’s immigration file that she and Farook fulfilled the requirement. The couple reportedly met online and were married in Aug. 2014 in Riverside, Calif., but the visa dates on their passports do not indicate that they were in the same country at the same time prior to filing for the K-1.

“Malik’s immigration file does not show sufficient evidence for this requirement,” Goodlatte said in a statement. “What is worse, the immigration official reviewing Malik’s application requested more evidence to ensure the two met in person but it was never provided and her visa was approved anyway.”


"... sloppily approved ..."??? 

the federal government???

"sloppy" like the Secret Service, IRS, Post Office, education, transportation, government procurement and just about every other function that government performs???

go figure.

demons

25 Bible verses about Jesus Casting Out Demons 

"DEVIL/DEMON: A fallen angel, who sinned against God by refusing to accept his reign. Satan or the devil, the Evil One, and the other demons were at first good angels, created naturally good, who became evil by their own doing (3911707; cf. 2851)."
