A closer look at the GOP's Iowa Poll Results
By Jennifer Jacobs
(The Des Moines Register)
Horse race rank: No. 1
Support: 28 percent, up from 22 percent
Mainstream Republicans are helping carry the New York businessman into the lead.
Thirty-eight
percent of likely GOP caucusgoers identify themselves as primarily
mainstream, rather than tea party or evangelical conservative, and Trump
does better than any other candidate with 34 percent of their support.
Rubio is next at 21 percent. Cruz gets only 10 percent of these voters.
Trump
also wins with voters who think the system is rigged against all but
the very rich and powerful, with 39 percent of their support, followed
by Cruz at 19 percent.
Men, Catholics, and first-time caucusgoers prefer Trump over others.

Jindal To Slam Republicans Who Want to ‘Silence’ Pro-Life Base at National Right To Life Convention
Presidential contender Bobby Jindal will deliver the keynote address Thursday at the National Right to Life Convention in New Orleans.
By Dr. Susan Berry
(Breitbart) According to a press release containing some of Jindal’s prepared remarks, the Republican governor of Louisiana – which has been named as the most pro-life state in the nation – will blast the Republican Party “smart guys” for failing to adhere to a commitment to pro-life policies, portraying the pro-life base, instead, as a “distraction.”
“The Republican smart guys in Washington see cultural issues such as protecting life as a side issue and a distraction,” Jindal plans to say. “They urge us to minimize discussions of such things that they fear will alienate voters.”
Referring to Republicans of this mind-set as “spineless,” Jindal will assert, “Hear me on this – we will not hide our lamp under a bushel. If the Republican Party cannot make defending the defenseless into a winning issue, they should just close up shop...” (continued)

Starbucks Serves Satanic Coffee to Catholic Schoolteacher
The '666' symbol and the inverted pentagram are often associated with the Antichrist
By Maria Tadeo
(The Independent) Starbucks has apologised for serving a Louisiana Catholic teacher two drinks drizzled with '666' and a Satanic symbol.
Schoolteacher Megan K. Pinion used social media to vent her anger, posting a photograph of the "Satanic" drinks accompanied by a long post explaining the situation on Starbucks' Facebook page.
"This is how my coffee was served to me. I unfortunately can’t give the young man’s name who served it because I was so appalled that I could not bring myself to look at him,” she wrote.
"The star is almost okay because it is in your Starbucks logo, the 666, however was quite offensive. I am in no way judging his beliefs or dis-meriting his beautiful artwork, I am however judging his lack of professionalism and respect for others."
She added: "I am a teacher in the public school system and if I were to present a child of atheist of pagan believers with a Christian art project I could be sued in a heartbeat.
"I am of Catholic faith and would love to share my beliefs daily. Fortunately I have enough common sense to present myself with professionalism and follow and ethics code. Perhaps that could be suggested to that particular location."
The number '666' is often associated with the Antichrist and is used to invoke the devil in Satanic rituals. The inverted five-point star- sometimes known as the 'Seal of Satan' - is also used by devil-worshipers.
The fear of the '666' is known as Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia and causes people to become nervous and agitated. Famously, President Ronald Reagan changed the address of his Bel Air mansion on 666 St. Cloud Road to 668 St Cloud to avoid 'the mark of the Beast'.
A spokesperson for Starbucks said the coffee giant apologised to Ms Pinion after seeing her post on Facebook and is investigating the issue.
The Starbucks barista who served the 'Satanic' drinks has not been identified.

Guess the Saint
By Ann Barnhardt
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil.
Guess the saint:
This saint joined a Crusade to Egypt in the hopes of PROSELYTIZING as many musloids as he could before being killed. This saint was not killed, but was instead received into the court of a sultan. Our saint then offered to engage in a trial by fire – literal fire – with the sultan’s musloid “scholars”. Our saint offered to enter into a fire pit and if he emerged unscathed, the musloid scholars would then have to concede that the CATHOLIC GOD (the word “catholic” means “universal”, so of course God is Catholic, and of course His Church is Catholic) and not the phoney musloid god (our saint, like any intelligent person, knows that the thing called “allah” is a non-existent pagan-Bedouin moon deity concocted by the inventors of the musloid political system, inspired by satan himself) is the One, True God. Naturally, knowing that their non-existent deity could not duplicate such a miracle, and not wanting to be burned to a crisp, the musloids declined the challenge – BUT the sultan granted our saint permission to PROSELYTIZE and win souls for Christ in his territory WHILE THIS VERY SULTAN WAS FIGHTING CRUSADERS.
Who was this saint who knew that not only was PROSELYTIZING not “solemn nonsense”, but was utterly essential and demanded by Our Lord – a direct corollary to the two Great Commandments, to love God and to love our neighbor?
Yep. It was St. Francis of Assisi.
Giotto’s fresco depicting St. Francis’ Trial by Fire. The musloids are
on the left, slinking away. Apparently this was all a terrible mistake
on St. Francis’ part. He should have merely “encountered” the musloids
in a spirit of “dialogue” and listened to their lies and then declared
that they should all engage in good works and “meet each other there”.
Because, you know, there isn’t a “Catholic God”, and the god the
musloids believe in is the same as the Triune Godhead, or something. And
God Himself being Goodness Itself, and good and evil being whatever the
individual “conceives” them as being, “God” is whoever or whatever the
individual says He, She or It is. Thank “god” we have Smart Francis
today to correct all of the errors of Stupid Francis of Assisi.
