Illegal, Illegal Aliens: Guess What Percent of Illegal Aliens Are Not Showing Up for Court Dates?
Update from: http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/be-part-of-political-history/
“More than half-a-million letters, 525,000 to be specific, already are set to be delivered to the 247 GOP members of the U.S. House when they get back to business, urging them to replace Boehner as speaker.
And the momentum keeps building.
On Twitter, the hashtags #BoehnerMustGo and #DumpBoehner were surging, and other commentators, while not adopting the specific “JOIN THE DON’T BE YELLOW, DUMP BOEHNER NOW CAMPAIGN,” strategy, agree with the goal.”

“Surprise: 96% of illegal Immigrant Families With Deportation Orders Never Showed Up to Immigration Hearings
Leah Barkoukis | December 30, 2014
When tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America crossed the border earlier this year, many of them had to be released on their own recognizance because there simply wasn’t enough space to detain them all (Had to be? They could have been sent back where they came from! They should have been sent back!—my addition). Now, a Houston television station has confirmed what we knew would happen all along (What we knew and what the Obama Administration knew! I would not be surprised to learn that the Obama Administration told them NOT to show up!—my addition): the vast majority of them never showed up for their immigration hearings (Surprise! Surprise! NOT!—my addition).
‘After six months of requests, the Executive Office of Immigration Review told Houston’s KPRC that 96 percent of the more than 4,100 families released on recognizance and ordered deported did not show up to court, prompting the government to classify them ‘in absentia (Does that make them illegal, illegal aliens? Who knew that people who came to this country illegally would not obey an order to appear? Who knew that? Will the federal government look for them? Of course not! Barack Hussein Obama should have been impeached just for allowing and encouraging this invasion into the United States! Why is Congress allowing this lawlessness?—my addition).’
A similar 92 percent of the more than 1,600 unaccompanied children to be deported did not show up (Children were more responsible than the adults? Or, whoever was caring for them, wanted them gone!—my addition).
The Executive Office of Immigration Review usually reports an 11 percent to 15 percent annual ‘in absentia’ rate, far below this year’s jump (These illegals felt entitled? Or, they were told not to show up!—my addition).
Among the thousands who were caught and detained by Border Patrol, the court process remains sluggish. A mere 22 percent of the more than 30,400 families and unaccompanied children caught have received a court decision (Of course! And of those who had a court decision, how many were sent back to their home country?—my addition).’
Thus, the White House’s focus on border apprehensions as a key indicator of border security is both ‘meaningless’ and ‘deliberately misleading,’ immigration expert Jessica Vaughan explains. (Of course! First of all, do not believe anything that comes from the Obama Administration! They lie, they manipulate the data, they change the rules! Congress has a constitutional duty to kept the executive branch in check! Where is that check? Nonexistent!—my addition) “Apprehensions are not a metric of enforcement when illegal aliens are apprehended and then routinely released under the guise of ‘deportation proceedings’, ‘asylum applications’, or even ‘budget constraints’.
Further, any proposals that claim to want to enhance border security and enforcement by providing more resources, more personnel, more technology, and more infrastructure for immigration agencies without addressing the underlying policies that serve to undercut enforcement should be viewed with great skepticism (Before they do anything they need to shut down the border and then have a strict deportation policy! Nothing gets changed until the border is closed, the Obama Administration enforces the present law, and his Administration stops lying!—my addition).’
Given these catch-and-release policies and Obama’s executive amnesty, what exactly is left to deter future border crossers (NOTHING! The States needs to start protecting their own borders if the federal government will not! Then send the federal government the bill!—my addition)? After all, many who did so this year have now disappeared and dispersed across the United States and are reaping the benefits thanks to American taxpayers who are forced to pick up the tab for everything from education to health care (State should stop doing this too!—my addition). No wonder Immigration and Customs Enforcement is already gearing up (Meaning what?—my addition) for a new spring surge.
President Obama is making a mockery of the law and the Constitution! He needs to be impeached! And the States need to step up and do what the federal government can’t or WILL NOT do!
I will not be posting New Year’s Day. I plan, at the moment, to post again on the Second.
Have a great and successful 2015!

“It’s Time To Play Cowboys and Communists
Posted by Bob Owens
December 29, 2014
A Durham, NC police officer filling out reports in his squad car Thursday night was targeted for assassination in much the same way NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were murdered in Brooklyn less than a week before. Fortunately, officer J.T. West picked up movement in his rear-view mirror and was able to bail out of this vehicle as one of the thugs fired six shots, one of which struck the marked police cruiser’s door on the driver’s side (Perhaps he was being extra precautious since he was alone and sitting in a squad car. Checking the mirror regularly! I would be!—my addition). It was another attempted assassination of a police officer, all but buried by the media (Of course! It would not be part of its agenda!—my addition).
Sunday night in Dade City, Florida, two Pasco County deputies sitting in separate squad cars came under fire from a volley of shots. The officers never saw their attackers, but residents report seeing a small dark car with tinted windows leaving the area (Another cowardly attack by cowardly people!—my addition).
Also last night, in Los Angeles, a pair of suspects opened fire on on an LAPD officer as he sat in his cruiser (Coincidence? Was there a full moon?—my addition). The officer was not hit and one of the suspects, along with the rifle, was recovered at the scene. The other suspect is considered armed and dangerous and on the loose.
The attacks are intensifying, and they are no accident. We are now engaged in an emerging low-grade civil war, where people who hate the United States of America and all that it stands for are attempting to destroy the very fabric of our nation by targeting law enforcement officers for isolation and execution (Who would do such a thing? The Left!—my addition).
It is their sincere belief—honed by domestic terrorists from the 1960s-early 1980s that have an inordinate amount of power in federal, state, and local politics—that a nation stripped of effective local law enforcement is a nation easy stripped of law and order … and perhaps more easily ‘remade’ under strict centralized control (That is the goal of the Left—a socialist, strong, all controlling centralized government run by the elite! They being the elite!—my addition).
The Agitators
Most of us had never before heard of these self-described ‘social justice warriors,’ a term most of us first heard as agitators descended upon Ferguson, Missouri in an attempt to turn strong-arm robbery suspect and attempted cop-killer Michael Brown into a martyr and rallying point (They are always looking for martyrs as long as it is not one of their own!—my addition).
Let’s be perfectly clear: Michael Brown was a common violent criminal, high out of his mind when he attacked Ferguson Police Department officer Darren Wilson not once, but twice (How can one speak the truth like that? That is against “Hands up! Don’t shoot!”—my addition).
Three autopsies and a mountain of forensic evidence proved the ‘hands up, don’t shoot” mantra to be an abject lie (Of course it was! And the liars who testified of such in the grand jury setting under oath should be prosecuted!—my addition), but the mix of spoiled middle-class progressives, black nationalists, jihadist recruiters, Prius-driving university Marxists, La Raza separatists, professional communists, community organizers, anarchists, race-baiting agitators, and opportunistic common criminals simply don’t care about facts (Never have! That is a lot of groups. Left out the mainstream media!—my addition). They care about creating and exploiting anger to attack capitalism and our Constitution and wrest power and control for themselves (That is exactly what they want—power and control!—my addition).
Their narrative of continual oppression and serial injustice is far more important than the truth that the United States was designed to be the freest nation ever conceived (And has been with some major exceptions. Even then corrections were made! No nation as with no person except for JESUS, the CHRIST, is perfect!—my addition). They only thinly hide their desire to control and oppress others.
The lies, and the rage, and the false cries of oppression have continued through the justified shooting deaths of Kajieme Powell (who attacked St. Louis officers with a knife), Vonderitt Myers, Jr. (who shot at a St. Louis police officer at least three times before he was killed in a hail of return fire), and most recently Antonio Martin, the simpering idiot and repeat criminal who attempted to assassinate a Berkeley, Missouri officer just days after the attack that killed Ramos and Liu in Brooklyn, but who was too dumb to work the safety on a Hi-Point pistol carried in the wrong hand.
This string of attempted, escalating, (and sometimes regrettably successful) cop killings is a part of a low-intensity civil war on the very fabric of our society.
The goal of these attacks is two-fold.
They intend to isolate officers and make them feel as if they are under siege (They are under siege!—my addition), putting them in a bunker mentality, severing them from the communities they serve and protect. They hope to make some officers quite and reduce the effectiveness of police forces so that they can rage and riot without opposition, pushing ever closer to the revolution against our government and way of life that that is their goal (Going to be hard to do with an armed populace!—my addition).
Quite frankly, this appears to be the explicit goal of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who reportedly uttered a seething ‘(expletive deleted—my addition) you,’ under his breath to the hundreds of officers who turned their backs to him after his overt support of his fellow communists led to officers Ramos and Liu being assassinated.
These toxins permeate Washington, DC as well. You’ll note that the President of the United States is bravely golfing his away across Hawaii at the moment (I’d rather he be golfing than acting lawlessly!—my addition) , having had his staffers issue a minimal statement about the deaths of officers Ramos and Liu as he strayed on the green. The White House has not a word about the attempted police assassinations since. Mentored by communist domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Obama no doubt feels quite pleased as his fellow community organizers Sharpton and Farrakkan turn radicals to arms against the police. The progressive Congressional Black Caucus has likewise championed these radicals, while cravenly going silent once their encouragement of violence spilled blood (Need to expose them and defeat them! Blacks are beginning to wake up as they see illegal aliens get jobs that they can not now get!—my addition).
Likewise, out-going Attorney General Eric Holder, himself a racial radical in his own right (Without question! He should have been impeached by the House in the first term of the Administration! And President Obama in this term!—my addition), has done much to fuel animosity towards local law enforcement, and little to keep the peace.
Most of the media are likewise complicit, at every level. The possibility of a revolution excites and invigorates them. Posters of Mao and Che occupy the cubicles of reporters in far too many news rooms. Their coverage lionizes criminals as martyrs, excuses unreasoning hate, and portrays those seeking to recruit violent converts and destroy communities as ‘activists,’ telling you what you need to know about their warped views and skewed allegiances.
The Americans
Against these agitators, tinpot despots, common criminals, university radicals, attempted assassins, community organizers, propagandists, and usurpers are you, the good and decent people of the United States who still believe in our Constitution. While many of you believe that the current government and political parties may be rotten and perhaps irredeemable, you also believe that our core American values and beliefs are worth defending against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
This is a Constitution worth defending (It is!—my addition).
As these radicals continue to target our law enforcement officers, keep in mind that they are targeting your communities and your families (And your church and country!—my addition) by extension. They wish to break down everything than makes the United States exceptional, in order to remake it as yet another pale and fading state where the government rules subjects. They hope to weaken law enforcement, in order to subjugate you.
If that is the life you desire, do nothing. Allow the agitators and usurpers, the communists and racial nationalists and anarchists to pick apart and rip through our unique national fabric.
However…
If, my friends, you would like to preserve and restore liberty you must decide, today, what you will tolerate (Nothing that is going on now to remake our nation!—my addition).
You must determine how much more you are going to tolerate as they attempt to destroy this nation from the inside.
You must determine what you are willing to sacrifice in order for your children and grandchildren to remain free (“ … with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” From the Declaration of Independence! We are back to the starting point with a new tyrant to overthrow!—my addition).
I ask you to stand your ground, my proud fellow American citizens. Keep your weapons oiled, your bores bright, and your magazines loaded. Pledge to protect those who protect us.
We do not want war, but we will not surrender our liberty to rabble who crave the chains of tyranny, or who dream of lording over free men (I will not!—my addition).
Will you choose to be Sons of Liberty, or sons of Obama?”
I am NO son of Obama!

“Mary and Joseph Compared to Modern-Day Palestinians
by Gary DeMar
December 28, 2014
I realize that this is the day after Christmas and you might be tired of Christmas stories, but the so-called Christmas story is not seasonal, especially when liberals twist and distort it beyond factual recognition (Nothing new about that. The Left has never let the facts and truth get in the way of their agenda!—my addition).
We’ve heard from Hillary Clinton, Jesse Jackson, and other liberal money moochers that the Christmas story is about a homeless couple (What? Have they even read the accounts?—my addition).
President Obama update the liberal narrative of using the Bible to push a leftist agenda by claiming that Mary and Joseph were like today’s tragic illegal immigrants (Illegal? Immigrants? They were forced by government to go to their home town!—my addition) who only want a place to stay in the inn that’s America but too many Americans and those in the Republican Party are like the inn keeper who is telling them there’s no room for them (Seriously? Was this taught by Jeremiah Wright?—my addition).
[Luke 2: 1-7 (NIV)
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.”]
Here’s how President Obama explained it: ‘If we’re serious about the Christmas season, now is the time to reflect on those who are strangers in our midst and remember what it was like to be a stranger.’ He went on to tell his Nashville audience that the Nativity story was about a ‘soon to be mother (Who did not MURDER her son through abortion!—my addition)’ and ‘a husband of modest means who were looking for a place to stay, but there was no room at the inn.’
As anybody who is familiar with the Bible, this is nonsense. If a Bible question like this came up on “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?,” President Obama would have to say no.
Joseph had a job as a self-employed carpenter (Matthew 13: 55). It was an edict from the centralized Roman government that forced Joseph and Mary to spend valuable resources to return to their place of birth to register for a tax. Joseph’s business was shut down while he took his very pregnant wife on a tax-raising scheme concocted by the Roman Empire (Luke 2: 1-7).
Mary and Joseph were citizens. The Romans were invaders. Mary and Joseph had enough money to pay for lodging. The problem was inadequate housing, not a lack of funds. The fact that ‘there was no room in the inn’ (Luke 2: 7) did not make them homeless (It means they did not have a reservation and arrived too late to get a room before filled!—my addition).
From being a homeless couple to being an immigrant family, now the Advent story is about Palestinians.
Mehdi Hasan is the political director of the Huffington Post in the United Kingdom. He posted an article with this title: “If Mary and Joseph Tried to Reach Bethlehem Today, They Would Get Stuck at an Israeli Checkpoint.” (Seriously?—my addition)
‘How would that carpenter and his pregnant wife have circumnavigated the Kafkaesque network of Israeli settlements, roadblocks and closed military zones in the occupied West Bank? Would Mary have had to experience labour or childbirth at a checkpoint, as one in ten pregnant Palestinian women did between 2000 and 2007 (Is she Palestinian? Who is Palestinian since there has never been a legitimate Palestinian nation? Are Jews Palestinian?—my addition)?’
I don’t see the comparison since Mary and Joseph were Jews. If a Palestinian is going to make a case for his position, it’s important that he makes a valid case with legitimate analogies. This one does not work.
David Bernstein, writing in in the Washington Post, comments:
‘Seriously, this sort of historical revisionism, treating ancient Jewish Judeans as if they were Palestinian Arabs, and then analogizing modern Israel to the oppressors of Jesus and his family, a common trope in the UK, would be laughable if it were not so pernicious. Pernicious not simply because it’s a ridiculous distortion of history, and not simply because it’s often accompanied by a large dose of anti-Semitism, with Palestinians playing the role of Jesus and the Israelis being the foreign oppressors crucifying him. But pernicious because it goes to the true heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict— the failure of the Arab side to recognize that the ‘Zionists’ are not the ‘European settler-colonialists’ of Third Worldist imagination, but a people with a three thousand year plus tie to the Land of Israel, whose religion was born there, who ruled two separate kingdoms there, who have prayed toward Jerusalem for two thousand years in their ancient Hebrew language, and so on (Don’t bother the Left with facts and truth! Facts and truth are not important to them! The agenda is what is important in all narratives!—my addition).’
None of this is to say that what’s going on in Israel is always the right thing. Hasan would have made a better case for his position by sticking to the facts and not forcing a false analogy. I have a saying: ‘Never give anybody a reason to reject your position other than the position itself.’ Hasan gave a reason to reject his position just like Jesse Jackson, Hillary Clinton, and President Obama have done.”

New Proposed EPA Rules for Coal Designed to Remove Almost 40% of Produced Energy from the Marketplace?
Update from: http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/be-part-of-political-history/
“More than half-a-million letters, 525,000 to be specific, already are set to be delivered to the 247 GOP members of the U.S. House when they get back to business, urging them to replace Boehner as speaker.
And the momentum keeps building.
On Twitter, the hashtags #BoehnerMustGo and #DumpBoehner were surging, and other commentators, while not adopting the specific “JOIN THE DON’T BE YELLOW, DUMP BOEHNER NOW CAMPAIGN,” strategy, agree with the goal.”

“So This is a Feel Good Story?
By the Common Constitutionalist
December 24, 2014
I was looking around the internet for one or more feel good stories as we head into Christmas Eve. So I Googled (Using Google is the same as googling “Left wing sites!” I know. Blogspot is owned by Google! It was not when I started posting. Google bought the original owner out. I decided not to start all over again!—my addition) ‘Feel Good Stories’. Several headings came up and I thought, okay, I have a lot to do— this will be easier than I thought to find at least one uplifting story to maybe elaborate on for the following day.
So, as we all do, I clicked on one the higher ranking results. The site I chose was entitled ‘Great News Network – Positive Feel Good News’ (The Left insistent manipulation of language for their benefit!—my addition). I again thought—Wow—this will be easy, anticipating such a story as a family reunited with a military parent or a dog who found his way home, just in time for Christmas, after being lost for 3 months. Maybe I’d find a feeding the hungry story, or even a Christmas miracle. You know, something like that.
What I actually found, advertised as feel good stories, were posts which caused me to literally laugh out loud as I stared at the screen.
The very first ‘feel good’ posting was ‘EPA proposes cutting carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants 30% by 2030 (It is a great story for the Left! It is great news to them! Except they would prefer immediate instead of over fifteen years in the future!—my addition).’
Boy, I guess I found the right ‘feel good’ site, because I’m positively feeling better already—and healthier, knowing we’ll be rid of all coal produced electricity in 15 years, because it is impossible for coal plants to adhere to that regulation (Exactly why proposed! The President even warned us of this when campaigning! He was going to destroy coal!—my addition).
I would have felt much better if they were honest and just announced Obama’s intent to end of all coal fired power plants by 2030. Now that’s a ‘feel good’ story. How do you feel about that (Government by regulation! I do not accept it!—my addition)?
I’m sure you’ll feel even better when you see these statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (Do not bother the Left with facts! Facts are unimportant when they challenge the agenda of the Left!—my addition):
In 2013, the United States generated about 4,058 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. About 67% of the electricity generated was from fossil fuel (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), with 39% attributed from coal.
In 2013, energy sources and percent share of total electricity generation were:
Coal 39% (EPA goal: from 39% down to 0%! What is going to make up the difference?—my addition)
Natural Gas 27%
Nuclear 19%
Hydropower 7%
Other Renewable 6% [total]
Biomass 1.48%
Geothermal 0.41%
Solar 0.23%
Wind 4.13%
Petroleum 1%Other Gases less than 1%
(And if solar and wind were not government subsidized, they would be even less!—my addition)
So almost 40% or 1,632 billion kilowatt-hours of America’s electricity is currently generated by coal-fired power plants, and not a single plant, old or new, will be able to meet the new guidelines. Are you feeling all warm and Christmassy?
Well, Andrew Steer, president of the World Resources Institute is. He was quoted as saying ‘This momentous development raises the bar for controlling carbon emissions in the United States (Why control them?—my addition).’
Oh it’s momentous all right. It will take more than a Christmas miracle to replace all that lost energy, but hey, our government will come up with a solution. They always do (Sarcasm anyone?—my addition)!
Boy did I pick the right ‘feel good’ site or what (For anyone on the Left, you did a good job!—my addition)!
Merry Christmas and God Bless
The Left: quasi-idealists who despise the free enterprise system and yet the vast majority of them could not survive in a socialist nation which would not provide all the comforts and gadgets provided by the very system they despise! However, do not confuse them with logic, reason, and truth!

“Teen girl gets surprise of life in traffic stop
Dad: I completely blindsided her’
December 25, 2014
Cops come in all shapes, sizes and demeanors but this one seemed to be dropped from heaven for a girl who needed a boost.
After a rough year spent in and out of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin for a rare, life-threatening condition, a Saukville teenager got a Christmas surprise from her dad, reported FOX6 News in Milwaukee. The big surprise wasn’t only the gift—but how he delivered it (This may have been the first time she was every pulled over by a policeman!—my addition).
On November 21, Audra Daniloff was pulled over by a Saukville police officer. The officer told her it was because she rolled through a stop sign and politely asked for her driver’s license.
‘I got some good news and some bad news for you, OK?’ said the officer. ‘The bad news, first, is I’m giving you two tickets (Two for one offense?—my addition).’
Watch the video:
On website. Do watch!
http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/teen-girl-gets-surprise-of-life-in-traffic-stop/
Audra can be seen on the police video lowering her eyes.
‘OK,’ she says, dejectedly.
‘The good news is they’re probably not the tickets you expect me to give you, OK?’ the officer says.
‘OK,’ Audra says, with a nervous sigh, perhaps wondering what other severe infraction she might have committed.
‘One is a ticket to New York, an airplane ticket. And the other ticket is to a band called Timeflies. I talked to your dad, and that’s from your dad. It’s not a joke,’ the officer says. ‘Read it.’
Audra’s jaw drops, her eyes now wide open as she looks at the ticket to a concert by her favorite band.
She is speechless for several seconds. Tears start to well up in her eyes as she realizes this is a set-up from someone wanting to bless her, not a ticket for rolling through a stop sign.
… ‘she says. ‘You’re my favorite cop in the entire world!’
Saukville Police Chief Jeffrey Goetz said when Audra’s dad approached him about his little plan, he thought it was a great idea (Who would not?—my addition).
‘He had given me a little back story on what his daughter had been through and thought that this concert would make her day if she got to go to New York—and we were happy to be a part of that,’ he told FOX6.
Goetz says not only did it make Audra’s day, but it meant a lot to the police department, even if some naysayers lobbed criticism of the kindly act (Seriously?—my addition).
‘I would argue the fact—that we’re wasting our resources. I think that’s exactly what our resources should be used for,’ Goetz told FOX6.
Audra continues to get treatment at Children’s Hospital. She was there getting an infusion on Tuesday, the day before Christmas Eve—and did not feel well enough to talk with FOX6 News. But Audra’s dad assures us his daughter is on the mend—and plans to go away to Madison for college next year. She’ll be studying to be a child life specialist.”
This is how it should be! Why isn’t it always like this? SIN! Something the United States seems not to want to recognize or realize anymore. Until we get back to good and evil, sin and righteousness, we will have immense problems in this nation! Man can not wash sin away. Sin can not be outlawed by man!

The Death, Burial, And Resurrection of Jesus, the Christ—the Son of God—According to the Gospel of Mark
The birth of JESUS led to the death, burial, and resurrection. Thank you LORD for all four!
From: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+15&version=NIV
Mark 15 (NIV)
‘Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ asked Pilate.
‘You have said so,’ Jesus replied.
The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, ‘Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.’
But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
‘Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?’ asked Pilate, knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
‘What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked them.
‘Crucify him!’ they shouted.
‘Why? What crime has he committed?’ asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, ‘Crucify him!’
Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. And they began to call out to him, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means ‘the place of the skull’). Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.
They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, ‘So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!’ In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. ‘He saved others,’ they said, ‘but he can’t save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.’ Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’ (which means ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’).
When some of those standing near heard this, they said, ‘Listen, he’s calling Elijah.’
Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. ‘Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,’ he said.
With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, ‘Surely this man was the Son of God!’
Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.’
From: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2016&version=NIV
Mark 16: 1-8 (NIV)
“When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, ‘Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?’
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
‘Don’t be alarmed,’ he said. ‘You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’’
Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.”
[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]
Mark 16: 14-20 (NIV)
“Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.’
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.”
I will not be posting tomorrow. Have a great Christmas and New Year.
