As reported by SKY NEWS, riots broke out for a time tonight in London between police and the English Defense League in the aftermath of Islamic terrorist attack that resulted in the beheading of a British soldier outside army barracks in the Woolwich area of southeast London.

… A group of between 75 and 100 men gathered at The Queen’s Arms pub on Burrage Grove, where they sang nationalistic songs.

Sky News correspondent Alistair Bunkall, who is at the scene, said: ‘As soon as the EDL got into the town centre … it became not only a lot harder for the police to try and contain anything, but also the aggression (increased) quite considerably.

‘A few missiles have been thrown, glass bottles and the like. The police are trying to surround them and they’ve been charging them as well with batons….

It may seem a bit out of place these days to consider the limits & weakness of the Executive Branch.  But, at this moment, the Executive Branch is facing no fewer than 3 individual scandals involving potential abuses of executive power.  So, this may be as good a time as any to take a look at the powers of the Executive Branch in context with its written Constitutional limits.

Headed by the President of the United States, the Executive Branch is merely one of 3 branches in the U.S. Federal Government. It coexists with the Legislative and Judicial Branches.  In order to protect the liberty of the People & the States, the Executive Branch was designed to be less powerful than Congress thereby preventing our Chief Executive from acting like a king. (1*) But, based on the current news reports out of the mainstream media, how many people actually know the limits to executive powers?

Two years ago, I posted the following post entitled, Prayer for those affected by natural disasters – Wallbuilders. 

Today, I believe is the perfect moment to revisit the Wallbuilders post, as the nation together with the residents of Moore, Oklahoma mourn their loss in the wake of yesterday’s tragic events.

Let us come together in prayer as a nation for those directly affected this season by disasters brought about by the elements.

Let us be mindful of their loss and their suffering.  Please say a prayer for those who perished and for those who lost loved ones.

In addition, many have lost their homes, businesses and livelihood.  Let us be forthcoming in our prayers, support and well wishes for our fellow Americans.

Ask the Heavenly Father to protect, bless, keep, and provide strength along the road back for those living where disaster struck. They need it.

Finally, let us have faith and ask God to protect our great nation from future disasters.

Lord, protect our country from natural disasters

Head of the IRS’ exempt organizations division, Lois Lerner, has informed Darrell Issa through legal counsel, William W. Taylor III, a criminal defense attorney that she does not plan to answer any questions.  Instead Lerner will invoke the fifth amendment.

In the correspondence to Issa, Taylor pointed out that the Justice Department had commenced an investigation and asked that Lerner be excused from attending the hearing.

L. A. TIMES

Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening — or why she didn’t disclose it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor III. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

‘She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course,’ said a letter by Taylor to committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Vista). The letter, sent Monday, was obtained Tuesday by the Los Angeles Times….

According to Legal Insurrection, Issa has issued a subpoena duces tecum to Lerner to appear anyway.

I suspect that about now Lerner is regretting planting the question two  weeks ago at a conference 48 hours after failing to mention the targeting of Conservatives in the presence of a Congressional panel.

In the midst of all the pain, suffering and loss, there is always room for the heroes, God’s angels and the blessings.

NEW YORK POST

A teacher from the Oklahoma school, wiped out by yesterday’s tornado, is being hailed as a lifesaving hero for throwing her body over kids and sheltering them from the deadly storm.

Twisters leveled Plaza Towers Elementary School, where dozens of students had hunkered down in hopes of riding out the killer tornado…..

…A teacher took cover of us, Miss Crosswhite,” Damian said. “She was covering me and my friend Zachary. I told her we were fine because we were holding on to something, and then she went over to my friend Antonio and covered him, so she saved our lives.”

Crosswhite said she kept telling kids that everything was going to be OK, as 200 m.p.h. winds crushed the Moore, Okla., campus….

…’One of my little boys just kept saying, ‘I love you, I love you, please don’t die with me.’ I never thought I was going to die. The whole time I just kept screaming to them, ‘Quit worrying, we’re fine, we’re fine.’ And I’m very loud, so I just hoped they could hear me because I could hear them screaming. [One girl] was sobbing, and I was like, ‘We’re going to be fine, we’re going to be fine, I’m protecting you.’ And then I said a few prayers. ‘God please take care of my kids.’ ‘

Crosswhite compared the tornado’s sound to a speeding train, barreling through town….

Below is footage of the tornado, the aftermath and the damage.

The following video is a view of the twister from a shelter.

America stands with you Oklahoma.

It is only fair to note that the low information voter in this photograph is smarter than many of the others interviewed in the video.

Liberals claim to know of Dick Cheney, Joe Biden, despise Fox News, its anchors yet they cannot explain what they do, who the anchors are or why the hate.

The mentality of a low information voter is as such.  “Barack Obama says that we should not think about politics or the direction in which this country is headed.  We have our own concerns to worry about.  So we do what Obama tells us to.”

This is why Barack Obama feels so empowered to commit acts of treason against the Republic.

He goes about his nefarious deed aware that a smile, a joke, sounding cool and talking a little bull will provide him leeway towards escalating an agenda whose endgame is to destroy the country and the people.

Through their ignorance, low information voters have allowed themselves to become a party to treason by themselves becoming a danger to the nation.
