“The probability of a certain set of circumstances coming together in a meaningful (or tragic) way is so low that it simply cannot be considered mere coincidence.” ― V.C. King
The Loss of our Greatest Justice
From the very instant we heard Justice Scalia had died, we had our suspicions. Justice Scalia was a pro-life, Christian Constitutionalist who was also an originalist. He was what all justices on the high court should be.
Cibolo Creek Ranch owner, John Poindexter’s account of how Scalia was found, is beginning to add fuel to the fire as he told the press that Scalia was discovered with “a pillow over his head.” That certainly sounds strange to me, and obviously to many others.
Scalia was just the latest newsworthy guest to visit the celebrity hideaway that covers 30,000 acres near the Chinati Mountains. Mick Jagger, Julia Roberts and Tommy Lee Jones have also partaken of its scenic vistas and luxury accommodations. The Justice was there with several other friends for a short weekend. He was scheduled to return home on Sunday.
Established in 1857 by Milton Faver, known as the first Texas cattle baron west of the Pecos, the ranch retains 19th Century constructions, including “El Fortin de Cibolo,” a primitive fort designed to protect settlers from Apaches.
Apparently the judge’s physician was traveling with him among other friends. When the judge didn’t awaken at 8:30 Saturday morning, Poindexter went out for several hours. He returned and there was still no response from Judge Scalia’s room. Poindexter found him and was the one who made the appropriate calls.
Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told WFAA news on Sunday that Scalia had likely died from a heart attack, but she did so without looking at the body. The county judge stated that his death was most likely a heart attack. However, an autopsy was not ordered or performed. Before Judge Scalia’s body was flown home, he was embalmed. This is the law in Texas as well as many other states, before a body can be taken outside the state.
Questionable Relations
The photo is Barack Obama shaking hands with John Poindexter, the Texas millionaire businessman also noted for being a donor to the Democrat Party, and who also received an award from Barack Obama related to his military service in Vietnam.
Poindexter is the owner of the Cibolo Creek Ranch where Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead earlier this week.
Remember too that in 2014, Judge Scalia ripped into Obama’s self-interested use of executive power. Link
Schumer Flashback - 2007
Almost immediately after Scalia’s death was announced Saturday evening, Republican lawmakers and presidential candidates began arguing the appointment of his successor should be left to the next president. Democratic Senator Charles Schumer lamented this outlook as pure obstructionism.
Funny, because in 2007, Schumer advocated doing the same exact thing if any additional Supreme Court vacancies opened under former President George W. Bush. How opinions change when the shoe is on the other foot! Link
“You know, the kind of obstructionism that [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell ‘s talking about, he’s hearkening back to his old days,” Schumer said, according to The Hill. McConnell has said, “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
Notice he said, “should not,” which means he can easily change. Had he said “will not,” I’d be a bit more convinced, just a bit. Unfortunately, I haven’t much faith in the despicable GOPe sellout, Mitch McConnell.
The Court Count
The Court was 5 to 4 with fair conservatives, Scalia being the most prominent and finest Constitutional scholar. Should Obama actually appoint another justice, it will mean decades of draconian liberal (read communist) decisions.
I hate to think of what another Obama appointee could do to this country and our Constitution…Federal takeover of the police (a la Nazi Germany), elimination of the Second Amendment, radicalized school discipline according to race, chipping away at the Bill of Rights. The federal overreach would be totally out of control.
Obama’s Appointees
Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been mentioned as one appointee. According to the Huffington Post, CNN legal analyst and New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin has his money on Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Obama fought to appoint the 47-year-old native of India to a seat on the D.C. Circuit court, and the Senate unanimously confirmed him in 2013. Srinivasan has joined liberal colleagues on the court in several cases, and seems to be of a similar ideological bent as Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
The latest name mentioned is Elizabeth Warren. Link
Here is what Donald Trump said when asked about Scalia’s replacement:
“If I were president now, I would certainly want to try and nominate a justice, and I’m sure that, frankly, I’m absolutely sure that President Obama will try and do it. I hope that our Senate is going to be able to…do something about it. This is a tremendous blow to conservatism, a tremendous blow, frankly, to our country.”
“I think it’s up to Mitch McConnell and everybody else to stop it. It’s called, delay, delay delay.”
He is absolutely right, and if the American people ignore this, it will be at our own peril. Lord have mercy!
He made a revealing statement. He stated that no matter what Donald Trump does, no matter what Donald Trump says, everything works out well for him. His numbers keep rising, and his rallies keep growing. He said, “For this to happen, there has to be a supernatural power behind him.”
Ya think? I fully believe that God is the supernatural power behind Mr. Trump’s popularity. Trump is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, he’s an American first, and that’s something we haven’t seen out of a presidential candidate since Barry Goldwater in 1963. Ever go to a Trump rally? He’s the candidate that steps off the dais and goes into the audience with the people, especially aiming for the veterans, and will stay for another hour down in the crowd. I haven’t seen that since 1963.
Trump can’t be bought. He’s his own man, the only man without any strings attached to the globalist elitist cabals. He wants the America he grew up in to come back, and so do I.
The Donald was raised Presbyterian and attended Sunday School. He does not, however, always attend one particular denomination. He has been seen with his wife in Baptist churches, and in the Catholic church on Christmas eve. Is he a nominal Christian? Maybe, but maybe not. Many reform church members are very private about their faith, and that’s the way Donald Trump presents…privacy.
Christians throw out the statement Mr. Trump made that when he does something wrong, he tries to make it right. Many have said, he doesn’t repent from his mistakes. I know that in business, when I made a mistake I’d try to make it right, but it wasn’t a position of sin, it was a position of a mistake. I believe that’s where Mr. Trump’s main thoughts reside, that if he does something wrong, he fixes it. As an exceptionally successful entrepreneur, that’s where his mind resides. He wasn’t concentrating on sin, but on mistakes in business. I say that because I have been in the same situation.
Donald is a believer, and has openly stated that the Bible is his number one favorite book. Does he daily sit down and read it? Who knows. Yet the man exhibits wonderful Christian charity. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” seems to be Donald’s persona. The man gives back and his children do too. Just look at Mr. Trump’s amazing children! There are so many stories of Donald Trump helping people, and thanking them for doing things for him, that they are too numerous to mention. For just a few of them, see my article, Why The GOP Establishment Hates Donald Trump.
Has God Given Us a Second Chance with Mr. Trump?
I believe Trump is a second chance. Everyone hates him, the GOP, the DNC, the MSM, and all the phony Christian right along with them. I’ve said it before, it is because Donald Trump has fouled up their agenda and plans for the New World Order. How dare Mr. Trump step in when the plans were for Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton to be president! (Both have the same agenda and Cruz or Rubio do too.)
I’ve said to many of my friends that I believe Mr. Trump is our chance for another Nineveh. Very few people even know what that is; it’s a powerful story in the Bible. Go to the Old Testament book of Jonah in your Bible and take a gander at what God asked Jonah to do. It’s only four chapters long. The name Jonah means “dove.”
See Mr. Trump at a S.C. rally holding up one of my articles a few days ago.
Jonah and Nineveh
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach the truth because their wickedness, including idolatrous worship, and extreme cruelty to prisoners of war were a stench in God’s nostrils. Jonah couldn’t stand the thought of going to evil Nineveh, even when God told him to do so. He decided to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord and went to Joppa. There he found a ship going to Tarshish and he paid the fare and boarded.
God sent a great wind and tempest to the sea, and the shipmates cast their ships’ wares into the sea to lighten the load. The Captain of the ship asked who brought this disaster upon them, and Jonah said that he had, and therefore, to cast him into the sea to stop the tempest.
They tried to bring the ship to shore, but could not, so they threw Jonah into the sea. Immediately the storm stopped. Jonah was swallowed by a great fish and was in the belly of the beast for three days and three nights.
Jonah prayed to the Lord to be out of the fish’s belly and repented. The Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on dry land. Again, God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach what God told him to preach. The great city of Nineveh was to be destroyed in forty days if they did not turn from their evil ways. It was Jonah who brought them the truth of their sin, and spoke to them what God put in his mouth. They repented and God saw their works and repentance and the City was saved.
It was a second chance for Nineveh, but only because they turned from their wicked ways and repented. Do I believe all of America is doing that? Of course not. However, I know a great number of sound doctrine Christians who daily pray for our nation, repent for our nation’s sins, and plead to the Lord to save our nation. I believe our answer has come in the form of Donald Trump.
Conclusion
Of course Donald Trump is not another Jonah, but he has a calling, and that calling is most likely a result of our prayers. Does The Donald know that? Probably not. God does work in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform. This man tells it like it is, he hates lies, he hates what has happened to his beloved country, and he wants to have an opportunity to fix it. It’s up to us to give him that opportunity.
So, Matt Moore, GOP leader of South Carolina believes Trump has a supernatural power behind him, and I believe that supernatural power is the Lord God who is hearing our prayers for our country. I believe we have a hope for our country in Mr. Trump. God can use whom He chooses to use to answer our prayers. We have an opportunity, a last chance before total destruction, to save our country from disaster, and God has chosen Donald Trump as the vessel who can save us.
Yes, Supernatural powers are behind Trump, as well as the American people who are for the first time in decades, hearing the voice who resonates with them.
Pray a hedge of protection around Mr. Trump, that the Lord’s protection will repel the fiery darts of the evil ones. And pray for our beloved country.
This is an excellent article, and I’m in full agreement with Rev. Miles. This pope is a Marxist new ager. He doesn’t know God’s Word or he wouldn’t say the crazy things he says. Him sitting in judgment of our top candidate is unacceptable. If he doesn’t like walls, then tell him to tear down the one around the Vatican and put bridges from the people right to his front door.
By Rev. Austin Miles
Charleston, South Carolina 2/19/16-Pope Francis has stated that GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is not a Christian. Based on what? The fact that Trump wants to put a halt to runaway illegal immigration into America which has resulted in rising crime, rapes and even murder by Islamists, causing uncertainty to all. Really!
Pope Francis wears a traditional Mexican sombrero hat he received as a gift by a Mexican journalist aboard the plane during the flight from Rome to Habana, Cuba, on his way to a week-long trip to Mexico, Friday, Feb. 12, 2016. The pontiff is scheduled to stop in Cuba for an historical meeting with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill that the Vatican sees as a historic step in the path toward healing the 1,000-year schism that split Christianity.

Let’s get back to basics. When God created the world he did it with perfection and great care. Countries emerged throughout God’s Creation, each with distinctive people, speaking their own language and living according to their own customs and culture. There were boundaries to each country which required a passport for anyone to come in. This assisted in keeping order in those countries, since they knew who was coming and going. God is a God of order.
As Communism grew and spread, countries went on a quest to erase all borders so as to be free to meld with other countries, particularly The United States that was seen as a cash cow to anyone who came in, with or without papers.
Immigrants always had the freedom to come in legally, apply for citizenship, and then enjoy the benefits of a free country. A standard was required of those who wanted to come and live here. Those days have drastically changed.
Today, hordes of immigrants storm the world’s borders, sometimes with force, and then expect those invaded countries to comply with not only their culture but their laws. Chaos has resulted as violence now erupts in every area of the earth in the name of multiculturalism. This has weakened all countries, making it easier for Communist rule to be established.
Curiously, the clearest Marxist voice of all came from, of all places, The Vatican! Nobody really knew who the Papal choice was, until the white smoke came from the Vatican chimney. Francis was a compelling man, even though he seemed to have an excess of humility, a little too much. Then his first words, to the world, stated his intention to “redistribute the wealth.” This was right out of the Communist Manifesto.
He then spoke at length about the “sin of being wealthy.” That came out so strong that a friend called from the East Coast to seek clarification of that proclamation. Pope Francis became more and more involved in politics, even embracing “world climate change,” the second biggest hoax in history, which would, is hoped, will result in a world tax. (The BIGGEST hoax was Obama being “voted” into the Oval Office.) Obama was not voted in. He was PLACED there in a gentle coup d’état assisted with massive voter fraud.
Pope Francis’ meddling in our politics has now intruded into our current Presidential Candidates’ campaigns, which is not acceptable. This is America’s business, not Rome’s.
When Pope Francis was asked to comment if those who practice homosexuality are in sin, he stated famously, “Who am I to judge?” OK, so if he is not to judge (in matters of homosexuality) then how can he judge if Donald Trump is or is not a Christian? This appears to be blatant hypocrisy. (Donald Trump regularly attended Marble Collegiate Church in New York.)It appears that Pope Francis is getting too big for his cassock. His appointment is to be the religious leader of the Catholic Church, not the religious dictator of the world. This last line brings chilling reflections of the Inquisition as well as the horrible religious scandal of the sexual molestations and rapes of children by Catholic priests. This in itself is so huge than an entire movie, Spotlight, is devoted to it.
This deeply pains me since this writer has always had an excellent relationship with the Catholic Church and with many Priests that have shown me to be true men of God.
Pope Francis, please stay out of our political affairs. You have enough to do to keep your church in order.
Rev. Austin Miles once had an audience at the Vatican with Pope Paul VI, on World Communications Day.
LOVE IT, LOVE THE MAN! PRAY A HEDGE OF PROTECTION AROUND HIM, AND PRAY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE TURN OUT FOR TRUMP THAT THEY CAN’T SCREW WITH THE VOTING MACHINES. Sorry for the caps…yep, I’m yelling for Trump
