'For All Who Support Troops, Value Defense'
Here is a special message from Eagle Forum:
Eagle Forum applauds President Trump’s wise move announced today to restrict transgender persons from the American military.
The politically correct mandate previously imposed on the military by the Obama administration was harmful to readiness and a significant drain on limited military funds. It was to use taxpayer dollars to pay for expensive “gender-reassignment” surgery and life-long hormone therapy for persons suffering from gender-dysphoria — a psychological condition involving confusion about gender identity. Leaders of the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps had initially asked for a two year delay in implementation of the Obama mandate.
President Trump’s action protects America’s military personnel from the imposition of an irrational social experiment that would have taken time and money from the primary assignment of the military — to protect our nation from aggressors. It is a boost to the morale not only of the military but to all Americans who support our troops and value national defense.

A Depiction Unlike Anything You've Seen Before!
Philadelphia Archbishop Chares J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. will preside over the blessing and dedication of Pennsylvania’s first Homeless Jesus statue at Saint John’s Hospice (SJH), a ministry of Catholic Social Services (CSS) of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
For over 45 years, SJH has provided crucial and life-sustaining services with dignity, respect, and compassion. Each weekday, this outreach ministry provides a nutritious and hot noon meal for more than 325 men as well as case management services, on-site nursing services, daily showers, and mailroom services for over 900 men. Each year, it provides residential services for over 250 men transitioning from homelessness to independent living in the community.
The life-size bronze statue was sculpted by world-renowned Canadian artist Mr. Timothy P. Schmalz, and commissioned by The George C. Beyer Family.

Saint John’s Hospice
1221 Race Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107
The Homeless Jesus statue has been installed in more than 50 cities worldwide, the most prominent location being in front of the Papal Office of Charities at the Vatican. The statue represents the presence of Christ among the most marginalized and vulnerable members of society. It depicts the Savior, shrouded in a blanket with His face covered, lying on a park bench. Wounds from the crucifixion are visible on the statue’s bare feet. The statue measures 3 feet high, 2 feet deep and 7 feet long, and is located at SJH where homeless men daily enter for a noon meal.
Mr. Schmalz and members of The George C. Beyer Family will attend the blessing and dedication, along with Auxiliary Bishop John J. McIntyre, who oversees the Secretariat for Catholic Human Services in the Archdiocese.
In addition, Mr. Schmalz will offer remarks about his various pieces of art depicting the Corporal Works of Mercy enumerated in Matthew 25: 31-40. Mr. James Amato, Secretary for Catholic Human Services, will also offer remarks about those served through the charitable ministries of the Archdiocese including SJH.
Following the conclusion of the blessing and dedication, Archbishop Chaput, Mr. Schmaltz, and the benefactor Ms. Karen Beyer will serve a hot noon meal to approximately 300 needy and homeless men from the SJH Day Service Program.

Well, Don't Say They Never Warned You . . .
From our friends at Save Jersey:
Law enforcement unions in New Jersey haven’t been big fans of the Christie Administration which, most recently, shot down a controversial plan to give police and fire unions direct control of their pension programs.
But former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerick took to Facebook late Tuesday night and warned the police community that things could get “ten times worse” if Phil Murphy (D-Goldman Sachs) and his newly anointed lieutenant governor selection Sheila Oliver get themselves elected:
Kerik did not elaborate on his specific concerns; New Jersey’s police and firefighter unions have already backed the Democrat nominee.
The Newark, New Jersey native went from being George W. Bush’s Homeland Security Secretary nominee in 2004 to a federal prisoner in 2010, having plead guilty to 8 charges including tax fraud and false statements. An epic fall from grace and approximately 3 1/2 years in prison turned him into a crusader for criminal justice reform.
There’s no denying the Democrat Party’s decidedly anti-police tilt in the “black lives matter” era; this year’s N.J. Democrat gubernatorial primary field consistently expressed solitary with the notorious anti-police organization.
Phil Murphy’s official campaign website criticizes the criminal justice system for “disproportionately target[ing] communities of color.”
Oliver, a former Democrat Assembly speaker, nevertheless drew the ire of BLM in recent months for proposing legislation to mandate teaching school-age children how to interact with police.

The Time Is Here, Do It And Do It NOW!
Dan Weber, founder and CEO of the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), is calling on Republican Senators to do what they have long promised their constituents: repeal Obamacare. If they fail to do so on, he is warning, they will soon face electoral consequences.
Mr. Weber said in a statement:
“Americans have been victimized by the Affordable Care Act. We now have loss of coverage, huge rate increases, higher deductibles, and tax penalties. And the worst is yet to come with state exchanges at risk of imploding and millions of people scrambling to be covered or risk having no insurance at all.
“With the redistribution of income and the dramatic expansion of government, Obamacare is part of the progressive assault on America’s economy. It is a war of socialism on free enterprise. Just this Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, ‘Single payer health care is on the table.’ If the GOP can’t pass Obamacare repeal, the Democrats will work to make Obamacare more burdensome on private companies.
“President Trump was elected and the GOP secured control of both the House and the Senate because conservatives promised repeal of Obamacare. It’s that simple. The American people in 2016 decided we wanted to get rid of government’s growing control over our medical care, our businesses, our money, and our choices. GOP Senators owe it to their constituents to follow through.”
For more information on AMAC: Dan Weber is the CEO of the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), the largest conservative due-paying member association in the United States with a membership of over one million seniors. Weber founded the organization in 2007 as an alternative to AARP.
