Memorial for Lawrence T. Anderson
Today I met the sweetest person, Alica Anderson, widow of Lawrence Anderson. Larry was a Lake Worth High graduate and some of his school buddies were there, one coming down from Tallahassee. They say that number 3 is the charm--Larry and Alicia were married for 40 years. What a feat! Friends and family gathered at the South Florida National Cemetery for a tribute to Larry and then all were invited to the home of his sister and brother-in-law, Doris and Dennis Dorsey. He will be missed by all.

District Court of Appeals has surprise ruling
One of the homosexual movement’s greatest successes was making it
illegal for straight folks, primarily Christians, to adhere to anti-gay
convictions.
Now, a federal court is taking away that success by permitting businesses to deny service to gay couples.
From The Daily Caller:
The U.S. Court of Appeals, 5th circuit struck down a district court’s injunction against the law, which now allows business owners to refuse to serve gay, lesbian, or transgender couples on grounds of religious objection and also permits clerks to refuse to issue marriage licenses to LGBT couples.
Foster care and adoption agencies can also choose to reject potential LGBT parents under this law, according to an AP report.
The court’s decision is a big win for the protection of religious liberties, according to Kevin Theriot, attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, which helped write the bill.
Some argue that turning away homosexuals makes it more difficult to be a positive witness to them.
But most would agree that the law must not force Americans to participate in a movement or lifestyle with which they disagree.

Supreme Court Rejects Appeal on Concealed Weapons carry
The U.S. Supreme Court has once again ruled against the Second
Amendment by refusing to loosen restrictions on carrying a gun in
public.
SCOTUS rejected an appeal that was made by gun-rights advocates in California that would’ve allowed folks to carry a concealed weapon without needing to show a special reason for doing so.
According to Bloomberg, Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch said the high court should have heard the case.

Everything about CNN fake?
CNN isn’t just the king of “fake news” these days, it’s also apparently the king of fake Twitter followers.
In fact, more than 17 million of CNN’s Twitter followers have been determined to be “fake,” according to Twitter Audit.
That’s a full 48 percent of all of CNN’s followers. And, according to a WND analysis, CNN is the worst offender of all prominent news organization hashtags.

Kate's Law and anti-Sanctuary City Law passes in the House
It cleared on a 257-167 vote, and even garnered support of two dozen Democrats.
The anti-sanctuary city bill, meanwhile, would guarantee local police the ability to work with immigration agents and would curtail lawsuits against communities that do cooperate with Homeland Security. That bill was approved on a near party-line vote, 228-195."

Quote of the day - On Obama's many vacations
“This might be controversial – I’m a little sick of seeing photos of
President Obama on vacation with Richard Branson. Just tone it down with
the kite-surfing pictures. I’m glad he’s having a nice time – America
is on fire.”Oliver noted that if President Obama was accused of being out of touch with the American people during his presidency, “I’m not sure he’s ever been more out of touch than he is right now.”

Sober Home bill was signed by Governor
Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg said, “You will see a lot of the illegal marketing that drives people down
here from other places will start to dry up — the free plane tickets and
exaggerated claims, you’ll see far less than that. That
could mean you’ll see fewer out-of-state patients than you see today,
where 75 percent of all the individuals in recovery are from out of
state.”
Dave Aronberg appeared on the Megyn Kelly show last Sunday. After watching this show, no parent will be sending their kids to South Florida for recovery.
Read about it... and the new state law that eventually will give us some relief. Thanks to Bill Hager and Jeff Clemens for all their help on this bill and locally to Commissioner Andy Amoroso for his work on the Sober Home Task Force.
The bills — House Bill 807 and Senate Bill 788.

Anarchist group forms
On June 11th, 2017 an Antifa group met members of the Haymaker collective in Chicago. They claim that their group is anti-fascist and anti-racist. They referred to their upcoming gym as a “popular fitness and self-defense” because of the rising Alt-Right and white nationalism of those who supported Donald Trump and those who want to make America Great Again. They said that they couldn’t address all the self-defense needs of the city; anyone can join as long as you are not a cop or a conservative and they were already in conversations with queer & Muslim trainers who wanted to use the space to provide self-defense lessons to their communities. [Unicorn Riot]
So, one-half of America, be careful out there when you wear your Drain the Swamp t-shirt or your Make America Great Again cap. You might get body slammed for the sheer craziness of it but an American wimpy, mini-terrorist group.

Sanctuary City bill and Kate's Law to be signed by President Trump
Yesterday, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary said that President Donald Trump is looking forward to signing two bills designed to curb illegal immigration.
The House is expected to vote on both the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act and Kate’s Law at the end of this week.
If you recall, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant and repeat felon from Mexico who'd been deported five times, is accused of shooting Steinle in the back, a 32-year-old medical device sales rep, as she walked on a San Francisco pier with her father. Lopez-Sanchez said it was an accident.
Motorcyclist interrupts Anti-Trump protest
On Wednesday, a group of anti-Trump protesters attempted to launch a protest against the president by lying in the middle of a San Francisco street. The act was a “die-in” to protest Trump’s healthcare plans by lying in the middle of the road outside the San Francisco Federal Building. Things took a shocking turn when a motorcyclist approached the building.

Quote of the Day - Mike Huckabee
“And when rhetoric goes to that level, I think it makes the parties look
silly. It sort of reveals they don’t have an argument,
they can’t discuss the merits of a piece of legislation or a proposal,
so they’re reduced to the most childish form of political rhetoric,
which is to say, ‘You’re a bad person. You’re going to kill somebody.’
It’s so over the top; it’s just absurd.”~ Mike Huckabee
Said in response to Hillary and Chuck Schumer's comments on the Republican's Better Care Reconciliation Act. Schumer, within 30 minutes of the bill being released, Schumer, in all his negativity, dissed it.

Supreme Court lifts injunctions on Trump Travel Ban
The action Monday is a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controversy of his young presidency.
The court did leave one category of foreigners protected, those "with a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States," the court said in an unsigned opinion.
The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
Trump said last week that the ban would take effect 72 hours after being cleared by courts. The ban would apply to citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The Trump administration said the ban was needed to allow an internal review of the screening procedures for visa applicants from those countries. That review should be complete before October 2, the first day the justices could hear arguments in their new term.

The Democrat Party is driven by elitists completely out of touch with everyday Americans. From George Soros to Barack Hussein to the Clintons to the all the clueless academics and Hollywood creeps. Career parasites all, they have not a clue what is really going on in America or what Americans really want.
America is not represented in the inner-cities or the liberal coastal cesspools or the Ivy League or Beverly Hills. America is in the shops and the factories and the construction sites and the pizza joints and the bars and at many millions of kitchen tables across the heartland.
America is where REAL Americans live. Americans are where Donald Trump wents to find them, and they responded.

"North Korea murdered Otto Warmbier and a fierce response is needed, says a prominent expert on China and North Korea.
But he warns the increasingly belligerent actions of the communist regime are a result of the U.S. failing to hold it accountable for more than two decades.
Earlier this month, North Korea released Warmbier after imprisoning him for 16 months. He spent the vast majority of that time in a coma and died just days after returning to Ohio. North Korea claimed Warmbier’s coma stemmed from a bout of botulism and that he was released on humanitarian grounds." Doctors say no botulism was found.

Mark Foley's Baaack
The question is, did he ever really leave? He involves himself in Lake Worth campaigns all of the time and still has over $1 million in his Friends of Mark Foley Committee account.
He was just named to the C-51 Canal Advisory Board, where he’ll represent the City of Lake Worth.
“Lake Worth politics is where it all started for me,” Foley said of his first steps back into government. “So when a commissioner [Herman Robinson] asked me to sit on the board, I was more than willing to do it.”
The board’s job, which pays no salary, is to advise a slew of agencies, including the South Florida Water Management District and U.S. Corps of Engineers, on a project to build locks on canals between Delray Beach and Lake Okeechobee.

Kim Jong un in fear of his life
He looks pretty good as a woman
The evil and despicable pissant, Kim Jong un, believes that there is an effort by our Military to decapitate him--like that's a normal military operation for the United States. Kim is getting our morals confused with his.
South Korean intelligence chairman Lee Cheol-woo said: “Kim is engrossed with collecting information about the decapitation operation through his intelligence agencies.” He is said to be traveling through the north incognito over fears of an assassination attempt at the hands of the decapitation squad, formed of US Navy seals and South Korean military.[PowderedWig]
I hope they hunt him down like the filthy pig that he is.
