No where is there any proof that Iran is working on nukes. Even the jew york times says that Iran is not working on the bomb and their program is for peaceful purposes just like they said. You are a fool and everything you say is false. Everything. Iran is a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty which I know you don’t know what that means. They are inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency on a daily basis, cameras are running on the nuclear sites on a daily basis.
Care to submit some links to substantiate your claims here or are you just another ranting, vulgar and Vile Liberal?
Great post Sami, God bless you and Happy 4th of July my friend..
Same to you Loopyloo. I will be leaving shortly for family festivities
Do you mind if I do a cut and paste reblog Sami?
Knock your socks off my friend. You are on the Bill of Rights page though
I know, it is something that we always need reminded of!
Sorry Sami, I am a little slow, that is the reason for no reblog button. I am worried about my husband Sami, he is having chest pains, and won’t go to the ER. He goes to his cardiologist tomorrow and I think they may hospitalize him. Please keep him in your prayers.
Your husband will be in my prayers Loopyloo but in the meantime give him an aspirin. It is supposed to help.
Us men can be stubborn at times.
Already done Sami, thank you my friend!
Sami, are we losing the reblog option again? The button has disappeared!
Soros up to his usual sneaky little tricks?
OR someone Sami, this is the first post today that I have not seen a reblog button!
The govt. gremlins don’t want the Americans to read the truth. But I hope they are to late,
Loopy, I will be glad to add your hubby to my prayers.
Thank you Muse, it is greatly appreciated. God bless you and have a Happy 4th as well!

Iran Readies for War with ‘Regional’ Enemies
By Ryan Jones Israel Today
Iran this week conducted a series of test launches of domestically-produced medium- and long-range ballistic missiles. Iranian officials said the tests targeted replications of “trans-regional powers.”
Iran’s more advanced homegrown missiles are capable of hitting most parts of Israel, and it was at first assumed that the Jewish state was the target of the exercise.
Great Prophet 7
But Revolutionary Guards General Amir Ali Hajizadeh revealed that the exercise was intended as a warning to both Israel and American forces in the region. Iran’s Fars news agency reported that the dummy target bases were modeled after American bases in the Middle East, while Hajizadeh said the exercise clearly demonstrated that any Israeli military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities would result in a catastrophic response.
“If they (Israel) take any action, they will hand us an excuse to wipe them off the face of the earth,” Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by Iran’s IRNA news agency.
The general added that the target bases were modeled on American bases as a deterrent to US forces getting involved should Israel decided to strike Iran.
It is also worth noting that the missile exercise was dubbed “Great Prophet 7,” a clear Islamic religious reference. While Western diplomats insist that ultimately Iran will behave pragmatically and not try to annihilate Israel, those more familiar with the region note that Iran’s real rulers, the ayatollahs, make their decisions based primarily on radical religious beliefs and tenets, not pragmatism. They view the destruction of Israel as a religious duty and prophetic necessity.
Please note the “Great Prophet 7″ title here as well. Peace? Ha! I’m not buying into that garbage. These are the times our Lord has spoken of, and there will be no peace until Jesus comes to defeat our enemy and throw Satan into the bottomless pit for 1,000 years..then there will be peace!
Amen and Amen. These are the last days
And here’s another article..if any arguers want to argue it, look it up for yourself.
U.S. intelligence agencies are closely watching Israel’s military for signs it will conduct strikes on Syria’s stockpiles of chemical weapons, amid concerns the deadly nerve agents could fall under the control of Hezbollah or al Qaeda terrorists, U.S. officials said.
Syria’s arsenal remains vulnerable as the result of the internal conflict currently underway in Syria between government forces and opposition rebels, one official said.
“Everyone suspects Syria maintains an active chemical weapons program; and it would be dangerous not to plan accordingly,” the official said.
As for concerns the weapons will be captured or transferred, the official said: “Most countries that have CW stocks view it as a strategic, not tactical, tool—and strategic tools are usually pretty well protected and aren’t given away lightly.”
However, other U.S. officials said special operations forces are prepared to take action inside Syria in the event the regime falls and the country spirals further into chaos. The teams would seek to secure or destroy stockpiles of chemical arms to keep them from being taken over by terrorists. Hezbollah has been very active in Syria, and there are reports that al Qaeda terrorists have moved into Syria during the current crisis.
The exact size of the Syrian chemical arsenal is not known. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported several years ago that Syria has stockpiled 500 to 1,000 metric tons of chemical agents. The weapons are said to include long-lasting VX nerve agent and less-persistent Sarin nerve agent, as well as mustard blister agents.
Most but not all of the weapons stockpiles are known to U.S. intelligence agencies.
The New York Times reported Thursday that CIA operatives are working in southern Turkey to coordinate foreign assistance to Syrian rebel forces.
Recent statements by senior Israeli military officials prompted U.S. concerns over an Israeli strike on Syria.
Senior officials in Israel told the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth that if Syria’s army gave chemical weapons to Hezbollah or other terrorists an Israeli attack would be needed.
The newspaper reported May 31 that Israel failed to prevent Syria’s transfer of M-600 rockets to Hezbollah and the weapons can now threaten central Israel. One military source was quoted as saying that mistake would not be repeated.
Israeli Maj. Gen. Yair Golan, commander of forces deployed on the Syrian and Lebanese front, was quoted in press reports expressing concerns about Syria being used as “a warehouse for war materiel that feeds terrorist elements in the region.”
Golan also said there were reports that al Qaeda terrorists are working against the regime in Damascus and those terrorists eventually would target Israel, perhaps in the coming months.
IDF Deputy Chief Maj. Gen. Yair Naveh also said June 11 that Israeli forces must be on alert because Syria’s military has “the largest chemical weapons arsenal in the region, which can reach any spot in Israel.” He expressed worries that the weapons could “fall into the hands of the rebels or the terrorists.”
A State Department arms compliance report from 2010 stated that Syria is also believed to have an offensive biological weapons program in addition to the chemical arms.
Calls for military intervention could increase if Syrian forces begin using the deadly chemical weapons in battling opposition forces.
A Syrian rebel leader, Col. Riad al-Asaad of the Syrian Free Army, told Al Jazeera June 8 that Syrian military aircraft had dropped chemical bombs that poisoned people, and that government forces had distributed gas masks to troops 10 days earlier in preparation for the use of the weapons against northern areas of the country.
State Department cables disclosed last year revealed Syria had obtained large quantities of chemical weapons precursor agents from China, Italy, and other states.
A July 10, 2008, cable said: “While Syria proclaims its desire to cooperate with the IAEA in investigating serious evidence of a covert nuclear program and allowed an extremely restricted June 22-25 IAEA visit to investigate a covert nuclear program, Syria has never accounted for its [chemical weapons] stocks, refuses to join the Chemical Weapons Convention, and is modernizing its long-range missile systems in cooperation with Russia, North Korea, and other countries.”
“There remain suspicions Syria could be sharing missile technology with Hezbollah,” the cable said, noting, “Just as Washington has done in past demarches regarding Syrian WMD and missile programs, Post believes a new scrub of releasable intelligence would strengthen our arguments regarding the gap between Syrian rhetoric and actions.”
A June 20, 2006, cable reported that Iran was assisting Syria’s chemical warfare program with construction of four to five precursor chemical production facilities.
“Iran would provide the construction design and equipment to annually produce tens to hundreds of tons of precursors for VX, sarin, and mustard,” the cable said.
Sorry, saw some comments above arguing about Iran, it ignited my fire.
That’s fine. Let that Fire and Brimstone fall
Let it burn! People need to hear the truth even if they don’t like it!
I am very bold and passionate about Jehovah, Yeshua, the Holy Spirit, Israel, and our United States that WAS FOUNDED ON GOD!!!!! I stand on God for this nation, even if the rest of everyone else wants to deny God and curse the very freedoms and liberties this nation was founded upon…we have allowed false religion and corruption to seep into this country,and by God, the Lord is going to come again and whoop some butt! And guess what? It’s gonna be very very soon… there will be earthquakes, thunderings, hail, darkness, fire, blood, plagues..and more! GOd is going to shake this earth inside and out for all for all of the blasphemy and corruption..and for the fact that a nation founded on Him and blessed by Him will not turn back! 2 Chronicles 7:14!
You’re welcome..I’ll post that for you.

Link to the first article about Iran and Israel. Sorry, but i didn’t put the link on the other article, but it can be found on google. It was emailed to me as an article, and I don’t have the email anymore or I would. I think the first one says enough.
Here is a link to the main body of this blog. You might also want to check out my Voting American Blog noted in the side bar for more relevant Christian related topics:

What is with us people who have allowed our blessings given by God, and our Freedom to be stolen from right beneath our noses? I don’t care if I offend the people who preach false religion and apostasy…they offend me! I will be as bold as they are..I am not afraid to stand up for my God–the one and only true God–Jehovah, the Great I AM, Elohim, Adonai, YHVH, the Alpha, the Omega…and mark my words..the Beginning and THE END! In the name of Yeshua, the Son of the only living God!
Please join with us and let your voice be heard. I visited your blog and please feel free to post links to all of your Articles on all three of my blogs noted in the side bar.
By the time they accept it, it will be too late for them. They will beg the Father for mercy, but He will not be able to give it because He is not their master; they instead have chosen to follow a counterfeit–Lucifer, Satan, Son of the Morning, the old serpent, beelzebub, Father of lies, etc. And it is to them they shall kneel. God will tell them, “I tried to tell you, but you would not listen. I am afraid you must kneel before your master, the one you chose instead of me. He will decide your fate because you have made him your god!” My heart goes out to the people who refuse to listen. They do not realize that once it is done..it is done.
I am fairly new to blogging, and I’m not sure how to do that.
I’m sorry! Thank you for looking at my site…I appreciate it. Do check this out, if you don’t mind me posting..if you do, feel free to delete.

Thank you so much, I am honored. So many people are so wishy washy….politically right this and that, afraid to say anything…not standing up for what is right…it makes me righteously angry! I will be back shortly to look into what you were talking about..I need to go get a shower real quick! LOL I have to go somewhere later. God bless you and I will subscribe to your blog here..I hope you’ll subscribe to mine and feel free to comment or share whatever, okay? And God bless! I’m happy to have found someone as passionate and as bold as what I am. I offend some of my fellow bloggers, and I don’t mean to. I’m different, I guess. LOL
We are like the Son’s of Thunder! Like John the Baptist…or like Paul who was extremely bold! Even Jesus got angry! Don’t get me wrong, I love these people, and my heart goes out to them because they don’t realize they are bound up spiritually in chains…their soul cries out for help, but the strongholds in their lives speak for them…and they cannot be free because they keep choosing the wrong path, and choose not Jesus the Messiah! The Lord is angry at the enemy, and angry with the people for following them as they are! God said that we shall have NO OTHER gods before Him..yet we have so many gods, including inanimate objects such as television, sporting events, cars, bikes, you name it..we have them. God is a God of love..and I hear people over use that to their advantage..love sometimes involves correction and anger, as well as discipline. When I look at the Bible as a whole..I see an angry God who does not tolerate sin and I see the loving God, through Jesus, who is patient and compassionate. God is all of these things…howbeit we forget His anger and criticize those who remind us of it? It sickens me to no end the way so many “christians” have become so perverse, corrupt, and misled.
We have become a feel good society. Whatever feels good, no matter the cost is what you should do.
Would like to subscribe to you, Muse, but it takes me to your gravatar and there’s nothing there mentioning your website
I hope you all will subscribe to me too…I post some stuff that you would like from time to time..and you post stuff I like, so I’ve already subscribed to you. I am so happy that loopyloo told me about you!
Amen to that! And let us not forget, if there might be any confrontation whatsoever, let’s just all bow out so we don’t ‘offend’ anyone. What? We don’t really care about offending anyone…we’re just too afraid of any confrontation..and when I see ‘we’, I don’t mean ‘us’ here;I mean the people of our nation who have become spineless and have no conscience whatsoever about sin, or what’s going on. I get so sick of hearing, for example, “I don’t believe in abortion for me, but if that’s what you need to do, then it’s okay for you..but not for me!” What kind of stupid foolish statement is that? You’re basically saying you don’t believe in abortion, but so as not to offend, you’re telling the other person that you’re kissing their butt so they don’t get mad. So sad. I tell people up front it is murder, and if you’ve done it, and you’re sorry, God will forgive you for it. But I will never be sappy and foolish…it is wrong. Lot’s of things in this country are just plain wrong. Can’t pray in school, but it’s okay for people to wear their religious clothing and talk all about their religion. It’s okay to spend a chapter on Buddhism, for example, and only a paragraph on Christianity. Why? Because nothing false is a threat to the kingdom of hell. The only threat to the kingdom of hell is the true belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God. Please note, the Jews and the true Christians are the ones who get attacked and told to shut up, while you have flaming liberals out conducting parades and shouting from the streets their perverseness….that’s okay..but not Christianity…God forbid.
You have got to check out some of my articles at Voting American. I deal with all of these issues and more.

In your links widget you will have to delete the wordpress stuff and then go into links and add links to websites you wish to have in your blog roll. Remember to put the name of the blogs you are linking above the actual links.
Go to Dashboard/links to get started.
(It is time consuming but I know you can do this. Cheers
You guys know about this website? http://barenakedislam.com/
Lynn I have added you to the Blog roll of all three of my Blogs:
http://twighlightslastgleaming.wordpress.com/
http://votingamerican.wordpress.com/
http://ireporters.wordpress.com/
If I knew how to do blogroll on mine (put it there and it was a bunch of stupid wordpress stuff) I’d add you!
It doesn’t give me that option in the widget edit area. I wish I could give you my info and you could go in and get it to where I can do that. It’d probably be too much trouble though..and then tell me where to go to do that. I went to widgets, links/blogroll, edit…doesn’t show me anything to where I can do that.
Go to my site and scroll all the way down in the right column and you’ll see blogroll with a bunch of wordpress stuff. I added in widgets area, but there is nowhere to change it, at least not that I’m seeing.
Yes, I’m on twitter
On the right side of this blog there is a follow me on twitter button. Hook up with me there and I will follow you back.
I’ve got a twitter thing too on mine… doing that now…
Done. I think mine is on my gravatar page..brb
Lyn, here are the directions for adding to the blogroll. 1)go to your dashboard page. 2) scroll down on the left side till you come to links 3)hold your mouse over it and then click on add new when it comes up. 4) where it says name, type in the name of the blog you want to add 5)where is says web address you can either type it in (it is located at the top of each blog in the address bar, my for instance is http://loopyloo.com/) or you can copy and paste it in. 6)If you want to add a description you can do so, if you want it private click the box where it asks, if you want to put seperate categories you can do that as well, just read the instructions, 7) click the add link blue button and it is done. 8) start all over for each blog. Have fun, it does take time. It is easier to just do a few at a time!
Ah…thanks LoopyLoo! You’re great! I’m going to nickname you superwoman for saving the day.
Now, how do I get rid of all of the wordpress stuff? I just added this site here, and it shows, but it is amidst a bunch of wp mumbo jumbo I see nowhere to delete that out.
Lyn, if it is the wordpress stuff on your blogroll that you want to delete, just go back to the dashboard page and rest your mouse over links again, then click on all links, put a checkmark in the box beside the links you do not want, click on the blue arrow beside bulk action, delete will come up, click on it and it will delete them.
I forgot that you have to click on the apply button after you do that!
What is your URL loopy, I can’t find a comment on my post by you..and your gravatar doesn’t have it
http://loopyloo305.com/
I think I forgot to add the 305 in when I wrote it earlier. LOL, getting tired!
Lyn, click on this link and scroll to bottom of the page for future comments.
