One of my favorite Bible verses is a warning from Jesus Christ concerning the latter days. It’s found in Matthew 24:4 and says, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Saying that in the last days, perilous times shall come, the apostle Paul echoes such a warning in 2 Timothy 3:13, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

Deception is key to taking well-intended people off the track of what is right and good. To combat deception, we need discernment, which is found in the Holy Scriptures and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We need a lot of wisdom to discern these days. Those wishing to deceive often do it by trying to co-op your support through peer pressure.

Have you noticed the way the media tries to ply your opinion?

For example, from now to election day, various media will be conducting their own polls to show you what America is thinking. Take heed that they do not deceive you.

ABC, MSNBC, CBS, the Washington Post, the LA Times, the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times—all of these media outlets and more will be conducting their “polls” to show you how America will vote on election day.

Take them with a grain of salt because just as these outlets’ stories are biased and passed off as unbiased news, so too, are their polls. Their sampling practices are weighted toward their bias. I know this from my days in politics.

When running a large political campaign, polling data is imperative. Accurate polling data can mean the difference between winning and losing in a tight race. It can give you trends, messaging guidance, issues, demographics and a whole lot more. But it has to be accurate or your entire campaign will be off.

So politicians do not use media polls. They hire a polling company to conduct an accurate poll based on a scientifically drawn, unbiased sampling of the voters. The media, admittedly weighs their samplings toward a Democratic bias because they draw more voters from the Democratic voting base. Also, online polls are suspect because it is difficult to verify who is actually giving the information and how many times they are giving it.

Constitution.com reports:

Media polls are driven by the desire to achieve a certain outcome.  That is why you think Hillary is leading Trump by 10 points. If you were paying attention, one of these polls had Hillary up by 15 points before the GOP convention.  After the convention, Trump was up 15 points, a 30% jump!  Statistically impossible.  After the democrat convention, Hillary was up 10 points, a 25% swing.  Again, can’t happen. The media is jerking our chain.  DO NOT believe them.  The only polls that can be believed are internal polls that are rarely made public.

A truly statistically balanced poll taken by Constitution.com paints a totally different picture: Trump 67%; Clinton 19%; Undecided 13%. Interesting, right?

Have a blessed and powerful day!

As a Washington correspondent for a major Christian radio news program, I got to know Tom Fitton and his investigative organization, Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch is a non-partisan foundation that promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law.

Judicial Watch seeks to ensure that political and judicial officials do not abuse the powers entrusted to them by the American people. If not for Judicial Watch, Hillary Clinton’s email scandal would have been totally swept under the rug. And it’s not over. Judicial Watch has released another 296 pages of State Department documents it obtained through a court battle,   and those pages reveal even more corruption and negligence by Clinton.

Judicial Watch reports:

The new documents reveal that in April 2009 controversial Clinton Foundation official Doug Band pushed for a job for an associate. In the email Band tells Hillary Clinton’s former aides at the State Department Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, that it is “important to take care of” [name redacted]. Band is reassured by Abedin that “Personnel has been sending him options.” Band was co-founder of Teno Strategy with Bill Clinton and a top official of the Clinton Foundation, including its Clinton Global Initiative… Band also “directs Abedin and Mills to put Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire and Clinton Foundation donor Gilbert Chagoury in touch with the State Department’s ‘substance person’ on Lebanon.”

Many may recall that Chagoury was convicted in 2000 in Switzerland for laundering money from Nigeria, but agreed to a plea deal and repaid some $66 million to the Nigerian government. Well, Chagoury, according to Judicial Watch, “is a close friend of former President Bill Clinton and a top donor to the Clinton Foundation.

He has appeared near the top of the Foundation’s donor list as a $1 million to $5 million contributor, according to foundation documents. He also pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative.” These favors and interactions with the Clinton Foundation appear to be in violation of the ethics agreements that Hillary Clinton agreed to in order to be appointed and confirmed as Secretary of State.

On January 5, 2009 Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton sent a letter to State Department Designated Agency Ethics Official James H. Thessin, saying:

For the duration of my appointment as Secretary if I am confirmed, I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter involving specific parties in which The William J. Clinton Foundation (or the Clinton Global Initiative) is a party or represents a party….”

Hillary Clinton’s lack of morals and ethics are beyond description. It’s not enough to dismiss this because “all” politicians are alike. No one is quite like her. Exodus 23:1 says, “Do not join your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.”

We know the truth about Clinton, let us not join hands with her and confirm her unrighteousness.
