Wanting the necessities of life is very normal.  "Just don't worry about it," He says. three reasons never to worry.  This is the end of financial stress.  Number one, "It is unnecessary because of Your Father."  Two, "It is uncharacteristic because of your faith."  Three, "It is unwise because of your future."

What do I do if police frisk me?

clipped from www.flexyourrights.org What do I do if police frisk me? If police detain and frisk you, you have the right to clearly state your refusal to consent to the search. For example, you may say "Officer, I'm not resisting. I do not consent to this search." But you should only verbally refuse. Never physically resist. Just touching an officer could get you tasered or beaten. You could also get a felony charge for assaulting a police officer. If you believe you were wrongly frisked, consider filing a police misconduct report.

U.S. Mercenaries Exempt from all laws

Absence of justice? Our country will pay. Everyone is subject to natural law and nature's God.

How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers. Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them. Therefore the Lord God of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, declares, "Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries And avenge Myself on My foes. Isaiah 1:21-24

Have we forgotten how Assyria and then Babylon rose up to take this corrupt nation away? Will it be any different for any other nation? Will it be different for us?

Photograph: Greg Nash/AP Halliburton/KBR used a clause in Jones's contract requiring disputes to be settled by arbitration to block legal action, a policy her lawyer says has encouraged assaults by creating a climate of impunity. Franken described it as a denial of justice. "Contractors are using fine print to deny women like Jamie Leigh Jones their day in court," he said in a Senate debate. "They can't have mandatory arbitration on issues like assault and battery."
