        ****Finicum Family Response to LaVoy’s Murder****
        ***1/27/2016***

        We thank all those reaching out to us in love during this difficult time. Your faithful prayers are felt. Please keep praying and keep using your voice to get the truth out. This fight against tyranny is not over. Press forward.

        Forgiveness is what we can extend and understanding is what we want.

        Christ was and is LaVoy’s exemplar. Though there are evil and conspiring men at work, Christ still forgave the executioners for they knew not what they did.

        We give permission to all media to use this statement in their reports.

      I barely slept last night, I am so sickened by the unaccountable evil which is allowed to reign over American lives playing God over our life, liberty and freedom. Here is the criminal complaint. I haven’t read it but the CfCF folks are all co-defendants, being tried as one.

      The Bundy’s and those who have supported them in deed, have exposed the corrupt power play of the federal government to people outside of the community. LaVoy paid the ultimate price, those arrested will pay dearly for taking a stand against the tyranny of the BLM.

    Good morning, everyone! Fun watching the pundits on television, all jawing about The Donald, especially on the Fox affiliates. I just saw Jonah Goldberg on my local channel, and said some bad words aimed at his face on my tv screen!

    The debate should be interesting, but we will be watching (at least on my page) The Donald and the fundraiser for our vets.

    How Donald Trump Beat Roger Ailes at His Own Game

    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/27/2878778/

    Did Fox News expect anything less from Donald Trump?

    After the network taunted the GOP frontrunner for two days leading up to Thursday’s Fox News GOP presidential debate, Trump finally decided to skip the debate on Tuesday evening, setting off another chaotic media firestorm that will make him the centerpiece of every story from here to the Iowa Caucuses on Monday.

      Fox imo seriously hurt themselves and Cruz imo hurt himself as well. For Americans who take choosing a President seriously were not amused with Fox turning it into a joke and they were not amused with Cruz siding with Fox.

      I’m seeing people on FB who were 100% in Cruz’ camp upset with him and thinking he turned voters off. I’m seeing those who have been torn between Cruz and Trump now saying that Cruz’ actions are pushing them into Trump’s camp. Some of those folks are folks that have been uncomfortable with Trump’s demeanor but Cruz in their view hiding behind a woman’s skirt and siding with the media who sees this as a joke are making it easier for them to be more comfortable with Trump.

      Those in Trump’s camp, especially the young’uns are more determined than ever to vote.

      I guess time will tell when the voting starts if this helped Trump and hurt Cruz, but judging by people that I know it has made them critical of not only Fox but Cruz.

        I think you may be right, michellc!

        I also read (somewhere) that the Republican National Committee prohibits candidates from conducting unauthorized debates. If true, that means that Cruz couldn’t hold a one-on-one debate with Trump unless it is approved by the RNC. In other words, his words are empty self promotion.

          I saw this on FB:

          Cruz is starting to remind me of a preacher I had one time.
          Best preacher I ever had, I was always on the edge of my seat and half the time on my feet.
          He’d preach on the sins of getting drunk and he was so good that you’d go home and empty the liquor cabinet.
          He’d preach on the sins of committing adultery and you’d look around knowing one of these married folks was going to confess their sins.
          He’d preach on the sins of women dressing and acting like harlots and you’d see women pulling up their necklines and pulling down their hems.
          Then one day he stood before us and said he was resigning because he could no longer pretend and confessed that he had been having an affair with a stripper and he was getting a divorce so he could marry his stripper and if we weren’t shocked enough he had also bought a bar.

          It cracked me up and I thought it was a joke, but he swore it was the truth.

            My godfather a Catholic Priest was celebrating daily mass. He stood at the podium ready to give the homily, I wish I could remember the reading but I can’t, he stood there for a moment and then he said “You should follow Christ, I have no insight to offer, anything I say would be hypocritical because I fail in this area every day.”

            This is the same priest who met Mother Teresa.

    Jerry Falwell Jr: Here’s the backstory of why I endorsed Donald Trump

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/01/27/jerry-falwell-jr-heres-the-backstory-of-why-i-endorsed-donald-trump/

    I admit my view of the world is colored by my legal and business experiences at Liberty. I respect the opinions of those who believe that it is now more important to elect a career politician who shares their constitutional views or someone who shares their faith instead of a business professional, but I cannot agree.

    In my opinion, this nation needs a citizen legislator who is a tough negotiator, one who has gone head to head with the best business minds in the world and won, a businessman who has built companies from the ground up, and who will use those experiences to be tough with China, ISIS and nations that are taking advantage of the United States by stealing our jobs.

    In short, we need someone to bring this country back from the brink and make America great again in the same way that the right team of professionals helped make Liberty great again between 1987 and today.

    Words from Rush, for those who didn’t listen to him yesterday (I didn’t):

    Preamble to Today’s Analysis: I Have Friends on All Sides of This Campaign

    http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/01/27/preamble_to_today_s_analysis_i_have_friends_on_all_sides_of_this_campaign

    You know, I’ve been thinking about something since last night. I saw Rudy Giuliani on Megyn Kelly’s show on Fox last night and he was going on about how he is friendly with so many people involved in all this. He’s friends here, friends there, talked about the Republican nomination and then the various candidates. He said, “I know so many of them. They’re close friends.”

    And it got me to thinking. He’s exactly right. It makes this challenging. I get all kinds of criticism, which is fine, but some of it, “You know, Rush, I don’t know, you gotta know some of these people. How do we know that you don’t secretly prefer one over the other and you’re not being up front and honest about it because you know these people?” And I can understand people with that sentiment.

    So let me run through this, because I have definite opinions about what is happening here, and I want to share them with you. It’s tough, just to be flat-out honest. It’s very hard when you know everybody involved and when you consider them friends. Sometimes, I’ll tell you, it’s much easier when you don’t know them. I mean you have no relationship, you have no personal friendship, relationship with any of the people about whom you opine. But, in this case, that doesn’t apply to me.

    Fox News Planned An Ambush Attack For Donald Trump At Iowa Debate

    Trump Out Maneuvers Fox’s Ambush Squad Headed By Their Little Primadonna Princess Magyn Kelly.

    Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will not be attending Thursday’s Republican presidential debate.

    Kelly’s Attack Squad Accomplices Include Her Cohort Moderators Bret Baier and Chris Wallace. Also On The Trump Ambush Attack Squad Is A Hand Picked Team Of Google YouTube Personalities As Backup Who Will Be Allowed To Participate In Fox’s Planned Debate Ambush Attack On Trump.

    Two of the carefully hand picked backup attack squad appear to have been chosen by Fox and Google because of their ethnicity and religion. The choices was approved by the RNC.

    Included On The Attack Squad Is Anti-Trump Muslim Activist Nabela Noor. Noor describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler. She Said “We have a presidential candidate whose loudest message reeks of hatred and Islamophobia.

    The Second Attack Squad YouTube Personality is Dulce Candy, she entered the US as an illegal alien from Mexico in 1994, she’s now a citizen and, a former U.S. military servicewoman, and a Latina activist. Trump’s commitment to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico could very well be a topic of her discussions with the candidates.

    The Third YouTube Personality, Mark Watson, is a black activist whose position on Trump is unknown.

    The two companies FOX and Google announced Tuesday afternoon that the anti-Trump Muslim activist and the other two YouTube personalities will be allowed to address candidates directly and ask them questions during the debate.

      How often have conservatives swallowed that jagged little pill and supported the clown that the establishment put up? I have permanent dent marks in my nostrils from holding my nose to support Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for President. That was painful. And so was Romney, a 20th-century candidate in a 21st-century fight. But we did it, because that was who the Party picked. But now the people are picking.

        I enjoyed the ending as well.

        Maybe this is what is needed, so as to expose Fox definitively and bring down the clueless, corrupt and compromised Republican establishment. Conservatives and the principled right have no media outlet — none. Is there not a conservative billionaire who can buy HLN or some failing liberal news outlet and relieve our abject misery? And while yes, I endorse Cruz, you can rest assured that if Donald Trump gets the nomination, I will vigorously support his candidacy with everything I have. Because that’s what we do. That’s who we are. And these men – Roger Ailes, William Kristol, Glenn Beck, Erick Erickson, Andrew McCarthy, John Podhoretz, and the rest – are yesterday’s men, as you will see as history steamrolls over the failed, weak, and corrupt Republican Party they represent.

    I hope this is true!

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jan/27/donald-trump-warning-prompts-rnc-leaders-to-scrap-/

    Donald Trump’s campaign, feeling it can ill afford anything less than a first-ballot win at the presidential nominating convention in July, privately warned the GOP this month not to attempt to change its rules this late in the game.

    Mr. Trump’s warning appears to have worked, at least for now. Several influential leaders on the Republican National Committee withdrew plans to lower the nomination threshold and make it easier for other candidates to challenge Mr. Trump at the convention.

    “What this demonstrated is the sway Trump has come to have over a reluctant GOP establishment,” said GOP elections analyst Jim Ellis, who was political adviser to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

    The fight played out at the RNC’s winter meeting, held on the sidelines of the GOP debate in Charleston, South Carolina, earlier this month.
