Because he sounds like a fair and true Christian guy (whose religion forbids lying) and he has no reason to lie. Why wouldn't you believe him ? (with all the moronic things coming out of the mouths of leftist idiots these days)

.Maybe this would be a good time & place to insert some information that kids are not likely to hear in any public schools these days. It is the Battle of Baltimore, which inspired the writing of the Star Spangled Banner (national anthem). Few Americans have ever gotten this taught in school, but it is important for us to know about the fierce warfare battle that took place in September 1814, in which 28 US soldiers & sailors were killed, 250 wounded, 50 captured.
Following their occupation and burning of Washington, D.C., in August 1814, the British-led by Vice Admiral Alexander Cochrane, Rear Admiral George Cockburn, and Major General Robert Ross-decided to sail up the Chesapeake Bay and strike the port of Baltimore, America’s third-largest city and a center of ship-building. They expected the city and harbour to fall quickly, as Washington had done.
Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore’s citizens, however, had worked on the city’s defenses for more than a year. Fort McHenry, south of the harbour entrance, was the city’s main guardian, commanded by Major George Armistead with a regular garrison. Militia manned other earthworks. The harbour entrance was blocked by a large chain and scuttled hulks. Against these defenses the British pursued a land-sea pincer maneuver, attacking from land while bombing the fort from the In the early morning of September 12, some 4,700 troops under Ross landed at North Point, north of the harbour. Opposing them was Brigadier General John Stricker’s brigade of 3,200 militia.
In late afternoon, Ross’s infantry encountered Stricker’s skirmishers. Ross came forward and was killed. Taking command, Colonel Arthur Brooke attacked, turned the American left, and assaulted the center. After a sharp but short battle, Stricker retreated to a second defensive line, and with nightfall the British stopped and Stricker withdrew into the city.
Meanwhile, sixteen British ships approached Fort McHenry, and in the early morning of September 13, they began a 25-hour bombardment of the fort. Brooke advanced to within sight of the city’s strong fortifications and concluded that only a night attack supported by naval cannons could succeed. The ships, however, were unable to reach the fort because of the chain and Armistead’s artillery. That night an attempt to land marines was driven back. On 14 September the British decided that a successful attack was impossible and departed.
Watching the bombardment from Baltimore harbour was American lawyer and poet Francis Scott Key, who was detained on a British ship throughout the attack. When he spotted the American flag still flying over the fortress at dawn on September 14, signaling that the Americans had not been defeated, he wrote a poem, completed later that day at a Baltimore hotel, in honor of the dramatic occasion. Called the "Defence of Fort M’Henry," it became the lyrics of the U.S. national anthem.
It's an inspiring story! Makes me weep every time I hear it.
Very true, Lisa. We must never forget the Obamas' had a plan and they are working on their plan which seems to be coming to fruition one day at a time as they know 2024 looms. They are in a mad rush. Heartening, however, to read how many Americans are starting to see it all and rebel. But time is of the essence and the days are short. Obama wants his fourth term! He realizes his minions' days are also short. One way or another.
“We are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.” — Michelle Obama, May 14, 2008
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008
You notice how Obama isn’t even heard from anymore? He’s running things from behind the curtain.
My fear is that Biden will drop out of the race, and a black female will be put up as the Democrat nominee. And no, not Kamala.
Michelle. An angry, resentful racist who likely got into Princeton and law school due to her race, and who became First Lady, and who, despite all that, blames racism for holding blacks back. She hates America more than her husband does.
Yes, he is having his third term. That is what I was referencing. I have noted it for a long time. Too quiet. And in partnership with some powerful people globally, is also my intuition.

Bull shite excuse making is all you got...... They could have asked for a quick pause, and then allowed them to resume immediately after finding out what they needed to know or allowed them to resume under the permission granted them on the spot by the captain in charge, and this all due to the content being patriotic and a harm to no one.And the GWP lies yet again.
That of course is not why the stopped it. Not just anyone can go in there and start doing such things, there has to be permission given.
Capitol Police blame "miscommunication" for 'Star-Spangled Banner' strife
Capitol Police initially denied interrupting a children's choir performance of the national anthem but later told Newsweek that "miscommunication" was to blame.www.newsweek.com
"Although popup demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed in the U.S. Capitol without the proper approval, due to a miscommunication, the U.S Capitol Police were not aware that the Speaker's Office had approved this performance," USCP said in a statement to Newsweek.
"We apologize to the choir for this miscommunication that impacted their beautiful rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner and their visit to Capitol Hill," the statement continued.
If we can't assess the situation on the spot any better than that, and therefore make proper judgement calls, then we are totally lost as a supposed unified "one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all".

No surprises here, otherwise it's an on going theme anymore in this country. My problem is the lack of ability for our nation's so called government officials to take a stand for what is right anymore.

It has definitely equaled the score, and it has made the criminal's think before they act, but I also do know this - it has unfortunately become a two edged sword like everything else that is touched by the left. It has since become tainted and chaotic in which is the overall plan.
How so one might ask ? Well it's because I have witnessed a flood of what could appear to be criminal wanta be's that are attending the CCP classes, and becoming CCP holder's yet for possibly nefarious reason's.
Why are they doing this ???
Hmmm, maybe this way if they are caught carrying concealed, then they can skate even when they may have been carrying in order to intimidate other's with their new legally concealed carried weapon that the law might find on them after being called.... The acquiring of the permit is in order for them to brandish the weapon legally, then hide it, and then if confronted by the law maybe, then "get away with remaining in control of their weapon without the loss of possessing it.
No end to the undermining of everything that was once law and order, and the rule of law in this country.
Not sure how it is to be remedied.

Since America hater, lunatic/idiot Colin Kaepernick started kneeling during the national anthem at NFL football games, and hundreds of airheads followed along.
What an ingrate he was. Became a multi-millionaire in this country, and then disses it.
