It just never ends for this poor family. I think everyone should really pray for this family.
See below:
While the court battle may have ended for Grace Sungeun Lee and her family after the terminally ill woman decided to stay on life support, the Lees are now allegedly being blocked from leaving the hospital and entering a nursing home.
According to the family’s posts this week on the Save Grace SungEun Lee Facebook page, Lee – who has a tumor on her brain stem and is paralyzed from the neck down – wants to get out of North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y., “now.” But the hospital has not been aiding the family in that process, they claim.
“Before – We were told by North Shore University Hospital that the nursing homes wouldn’t accept Grace because they couldn’t provide the same level of care,” the family stated on Facebook Wednesday. “NOW!!! – We contacted the nursing home and they told us that the nursing home has everything that the hospital said was needed. They were ready and even WILLING to accept Grace.
“All they requested was the record of the medications that Grace has taken in the last 7 days. They told us that North Shore Hospital has REJECTED and DENIED that request and said that it could not be done.”
Sad to see when a fire hits one of our nature spots here in Michigan. (H/T Detroit News via AP)
FAIRHAVEN TOWNSHIP — A large fire that took place on Heisterman Island, less than four miles off shore from Fairhaven Township, wound up burning about one-third of the uninhabited island Tuesday evening and into Wednesday morning.
Members of the Fairhaven Township Fire Department were called out to the blaze around 5 p.m. Tuesday but had no capability to get to the fire. Members quickly responded to a good observation point to monitor the fire from shore while keeping in touch with the Department of Natural Resources’ Fire Division.
The DNR performed a fly over of Heisterman Island around 6:45 p.m.
“We provided the eyes on the ground for them,” said Fairhaven Fire Chief Roger Gothro. “(The DNR) decided to let the fire go because they were predicting rain last night, which fortunately came.”
Gothro said he went back out to check on things at 6:30 Wednesday morning and saw no signs of fire. He added that at this time, no one is sure what caused the fire.
According to the DNR, about 130 of the more than 400-acre island burned. Following another fly over of the state-owned island late Wednesday morning, officials reported that 90 percent of the fire was out with some smoldering. But it provided no threat and will soon burn out.
No residents live on Heisterman Island but the island is home to various wildlife and is frequented by hunters, anglers and campers. Gothro said they are unsure at this point whether anyone was on the island at the time of the fire.
I will be honest with you, I am all for the protesting against radical Islam and radical Jihad. But that is not what this man is about at all. What Terry Jones is about, is the promotion of Terry Jones and that is all he is about. I mean, burning a Koran simply is inciting a riot. But, that is not what he is doing, the story is below:
Dearborn — Controversial Florida pastor Terry Jones is scheduled to protest Wednesday outside Edsel Ford High School.
The minister plans to hold from 1-4 p.m. a demonstration against what he calls bullying by “Muslim gangs.”
Jones has grabbed national headlines for protests where he’s set afire copies of the Quran, the Islamic holy book, and his promotion of an inflammatory anti-Islamic film blamed for sparking deadly demonstrations across the Middle East.
City officials have given Jones permission to hold the protest and say the community’s police department is prepared to handle any problems that may arise during the event.
Now, what Pamela Geller is doing, yes, that is the real deal; but this guy, no way, he is nothing more than a provocateur. There is a big difference and the stark differences are plain as the nose on your face. I mean, when even other Christians are questioning your tactics something is really wrong. There are other ways to make your message known and this man’s way is not one of them.
Again, if this guy were a legitimate Anti-Jihadi person, I would have nothing but good to say about him. But this guy is all about self-promotion, to prop up his failing Church — which is nothing more than a two-bit cult, from what I have read. The best thing that the Islamic Community and the Christian Community can do, is ignore this two-bit attention whore and let him fade back into obscurity; where he truly belongs. There are some who try to put this guy, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer in the same league. They are not even close, not at all. I have done my homework on this guy, and believe me; he is not even remotely in the same league.
The Absolutely mind-numbing story via the Progressive Magazine, The Nation:
Exclusive audio obtained by The Nation of a stop-and-frisk carried out by the New York Police Department freshly reveals the discriminatory and unprofessional way in which this controversial policy is being implemented on the city’s streets.
On June 3, 2011, three plainclothes New York City Police officers stopped a Harlem teenager named Alvin and two of the officers questioned and frisked him while the third remained in their unmarked car. Alvin secretly captured the interaction on his cell phone, and the resulting audio is one of the only known recordings of stop-and-frisk in action.
In the course of the two-minute recording, the officers give no legally valid reason for the stop, use racially charged language and threaten Alvin with violence. Early in the stop, one of the officers asks, “You want me to smack you?” When Alvin asks why he is being threatened with arrest, the other officer responds, “For being a fucking mutt.” Later in the stop, while holding Alvin’s arm behind his back, the first officer says, “Dude, I’m gonna break your fuckin’ arm, then I’m gonna punch you in the fuckin’ face.”
“He grabbed me by my bookbag and he started pushing me down. So I’m going backwards like down the hill and he just kept pushing me, pushing me, it looked like he we was going to hit me,” Alvin recounts. “I felt like they was trying to make me resist or fight back.”
Alvin’s treatment at the hands of the officers may be disturbing but it is not uncommon. According to their own stop-and-frisk data, the NYPD stops more than 1,800 New Yorkers a day. A New York Times analysis recently determined that more than 20 percent of those stops involve the use of force. And these are only the numbers that the Department records. Anecdotal evidence suggests both figures are much higher.
This ought to be, but will not be, because it does not fit the narrative of the so-called “right”; on every front page of every last darned Conservative blog out there. Before anyone even remotely says it; I might be a racial realist, but I do not support this sort of idiotic nonsense. This is nothing more than thug and racist tactics by the New York City police department. I have condemned racism on this blog and I will continue to do so. However, this goes well beyond racism, this is also police state thug tactics. Law enforcement is supposed to serve and protect, not intimidate and threaten its citizens. Furthermore, it is not supposed to stop and frisk people, for the sole purpose of checking to see if they are criminals or not. This is unconstitutional.
You see, the difference between this Conservative blog and the rest is this here: I happen to know that America is trending towards a police state and has been for many years. I also happen to know that this slide towards a police state is not based on partisan leadership in Washington D.C. The Police State in trend in America has been in place under Republicans and Democrats both. I give major kudos to The Nation magazine for having the brass balls to bring this issue to light and I hope as a Constitutional Conservative that some sort of investigation into this activity is started.
Again, this is not about partisanship at all —- this is about that which happens to be morally right and morally wrong; and this little story here is just morally wrong. I just hope something is done about it, and quickly, before someone out there, police or civilian; gets hurt really bad or worse, ends up dead.
We can do better than this, as Americans — we can do better.
Update: I thought of this after I hit publish. This right here is nothing more than what the Detroit Police Department had back in the 1960’s and early 1970’s; which was the S.T.R.E.S.S. program. It was racist, it was thug tactics and it was ended by Mayor Coleman Young, when he took office. This is the same thing and it is unconstitutional. If there is any sort of morality in New York City, this little operation will be stopped and quickly.
As the victim of an attempted molestation when I was 10 years old, this story is a personal one to me.
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, was sentenced Tuesday morning to 30 to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing boys, crimes that roiled the university community and shook one of major college football’s most prominent programs.
The ruling was handed down in Centre County Court by Judge John Cleland, and it essentially guaranteed that Sandusky, 68, would die in prison. The sentencing came roughly three and a half months after a jury found him guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
Sandusky, the jury determined, had abused 10 boys, all of them from disadvantaged homes. Sandusky used his connections to the Penn State football program, as well as his own charity for disadvantaged youth, the Second Mile, to identify potential victims, get close to them and then sexually violate them.
I have one thing to say, let that son-of-a-bitch rot in jail. What’s more sickening, the idiot says he is not guilty. Here is hoping someone kills this lousy piece of dung in jail.
You say, “What about Love and compassion?” I’ll let someone else do the Love and Compassion bit. I hope he rots. 😡
If there was ever a textbook case for a need of a National death penalty in this Country — or at the very least, a death penalty in all 50 States in the union; this right here, is one of them.
Like it has been for much of Tim Tebow’s career, it was all about the numbers heading into the N.Y. Jets game against the Houston Texans on the 666th edition of Monday Night Football.
“Looking forward to giving God all the glory in tonight’s 666th Monday Night Football game. Romans 8:37-39,” Tebow tweeted Monday morning.
Once again, as has happened many times before, the sports media turned to talk of Bible scripture and faith as the result of something Tebow said or posted.
USA Today sports writer Chris Chase went so far as to use Tebow’s “666” reference to begin his article with the Bible verse Revelation 13:8. “This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666,” Chase quoted from the English Standard translation.
“I’m down with Tebow’s religious beliefs and appreciate that he uses his forum to promote them, but I’m not sure what he was going for here,” wrote Chase. “Does playing in a game number that’s identical to the mark of the beast worry him? Or is anything with the number 666 a good way to promote his faith?”
Naturally, we cannot expect these unconverted heathen to understand what Mr. Tebow was trying to convey at all. Here is the scripture that Mr. Tebow was quoting, in the actual Word of God — that is the King James Bible:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — (Romans 8:35-39 KJV)
Actually, Mr. Tebow did not quote quite enough of that scripture, he only quoted 37-39, the actually good part is from 35-39. But, I digress.
Tim Tebow was publicly declaring his faith in Jesus Christ. Which is commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ in the Bible, see here:
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. — (Matthew 10:32-33 KJV)
Those are the Words of Jesus Christ, recorded by the Apostle Matthew. The Apostle Luke also recorded it in greater detail:
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. — (Luke 12:8-10 KJV)
So, you see, The Lord was not kidding around about that sort of a thing; He meant business. Furthermore, I feel the need to expound another aspect of what Tim Tebow was trying to say in his tweet; whether he knew it or not. Let me say up front; this is where I am going to start sounding like a preacher. I will disclose this now. There was a time, when I was working on getting a degree for Ministry. I really cannot be a Pastor, because I am not married. However, I do know my way around theology a bit. I have been a saved, Born-Again Christian for 30 years. I spent 21 years in the Pentecostal movement. I was saved a Baptist at age 9, in a Baptist Church in Detroit in 1982. I left the Baptist circles in 1984, due to a school change and just started attending an Assemblies of God Church in Detroit, which recently closed after 35 years. In 2004, after many years of watching the Pentecostal movement simply change from what it was, to what it is now —- I walked away from it and went back to the Baptist faith. You see, Baptist is not a denomination, although a few denominations out there call themselves Baptist. Baptist is a way of belief and it dates back to the Apostles of Christ. I suggest reading The Trail of Blood to see what I am talking about.
Anyhow, back to what I was talking here, before I got off in the weeds. Tim Tebow was also making a another statement and that statement is this here: That Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God and is all powerful and has dominion over Heaven and Earth. Satan, on the other hand, is a already defeated foe and has limited power. Furthermore, Mr. Tebow was declaring that if you accept Jesus as your personal Savior, that you can enjoy eternal life with God forever. This is the simple truth that has been known throughout the ages, including by those who founded this Country. It is also the bedrock believe that this Nation held to for many years and because of that, this Nation enjoyed many years of abundant prosperity.
I think it goes without saying, that we really need to get back to those beliefs. Now, as a Fundamentalist Baptist; I reject the notion of a corporate Salvation or Christianity. However, I do believe that the Christian values that this Country once held, have been watered down and cast aside as old hat. I believe this happened for a large number of reasons — many of which are beyond the scope of this blog posting. I also reject the notion that this Nation will have another revival. Sadly, the days of revival are over in this Country. I believe before the rapture of the Church comes, I believe things on this earth are going to become much darker and much more evil. I know, it is a fatalist outlook, but the Word of God does bare that out.
