White House says Obama appointee ‘betrayed’ state department with letter instructing officials not to enforce president’s executive order.
Donald Trump has fired the acting US attorney general after she told justice department lawyers not to defend his executive order banning entry for people from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The White House said on Monday that Sally Yates had “betrayed” the department by refusing to enforce a legal order that was “designed to protect the citizens of the United States”.
Trump drafted in Dana Boente, US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, to replace Yates as acting attorney general. The president’s official appointee, anti-immigration hardliner Senator Jeff Sessions, is yet to be confirmed by the Senate.
As the country’s top law enforcement official, Yates, who was appointed by Barack Obama, had control over the justice department’s immigration litigation office, which has handled the federal complaints filed against Trump’s order since his bombshell policy was announced on Friday.

My comment:
When Adolf Hitler took over the Government in Berlin, not only did he sacked all the officials of the previous Weimar republic. He also intimidated and eventually persecuted all who refused to obey orders. Next he branded all opposition to be “enemies of German values:”, and enforces a one party Fascist state.
I do not know if Donald Trump knows much about how the Nazis took over Germany. But my best guess is that his closed advisors, who have no clue about how to run a government, would like Trump to have all powers in his hand.
I can not think of a better Bible verse, that fits perfect to Trump and his advisors in the Oval Office. I hope they will read this:
2 Timothy 3
But mark this: there will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people
The Bible explains there will be terrible times, just before the end of the age. When Jesus the Messiah is about to return. Unequally terrible to what has taken place since the creation.
Mark 13:19
because those will be days of distress unequalled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now – and never to be equalled again.
Trump is a perfect chaos pilot. Just by opening his mouth, he will defame, insult or bully a few people. Welcome to the age of the rising of the last and final antichrist. Do not end up defending the wrong team, but remain faithful to the Messiah.

Dear Ivarfjeld
I great you in the glorious name of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I think you are against Trumps decision to block Moslems from coming to US. He is definitely doing a good job. Moslems other than raping killing they have no other good thing to think.
Trump is sent by God to clear the evil way of the Muslims
And you know it to therefore let us pray so that God could help him
Dear Daniel Josephi.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Your comment is based on raceism. I am not for free immigration of Muslims to any nation. But I have a Muslim maid, and a handful of Muslim friends. Have you heard about sufism? If so, let me know. By the way. There are 200 million Muslims in India. And two mlliion isside the state of Isaeel, with Israeli citizenship.

Amen Ivar! Chaos is exactly the word. I was studying about that yesterday. If you want to know what Trump is like just watch his reality television program on You Tube that was on called ‘The Apprentice’. Also, another good study and warning – Free Masons! Also, the one world religion.
I know you don’t like links Ivar, but this might be how he runs the white house. Just sayin’ : https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=you+tube+the+apprentice+donald+trump&view=detail&mid=9FC24B06E06BDAAE19F29FC24B06E06BDAAE19F2&FORM=VIRE
Ivar and Nanette, we are called to pray for those in authority. As a Christian who lives in the U.S., this is what I must do.
Dear Maria, a gentle iconoclast
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Yes, we must pray for Trump. And for Putin too. But I am not very optimistic about their willingness to repent, and embrace Jesus. The One World Government will lead the flock off the cliff.
Brother, I understand. Nevertheless, we are commanded to pray.
The One World Government will come. It has been etched in stone by the scripture which cannot lie or be set aside. This anti-Christ government will not lead all the flock off the cliff, because some of us are standing on the Lord’s faithful promises, one of which is:
Psalm 91, ” He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
1 Timothy 2
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Maria, Yes pray, and…..The church needs to be alert! Since Trump (a claimed Christian) has been elected the church is now sleeping thinking all is okay now that we have our man, he will fix everything, including “PEACE” in Jerusalem as Trump says. We have a big problem in the United States, and that is Christians joining with other religions who seem to not know any better, especially the Catholic Church. Paul says, For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” Acts 20:29-31 Let me say that most of our leaders “CLAIM” to be Christians, and quite a few of them are Catholics, Jesuits, and so called Evangelicals who want to take the world for Christ. They all claim to be Christians. Watch out says Paul. Is it okay to pray with other religions? Like at ‘Pro Life’ marches with the Catholics? Is it okay to have a prayer breakfast with so called Christians at the White house with Moslems, Catholics, Franklin Graham, etc? No!
Nanette, I agree with your concerns. My point is that rather than criticize our elected leaders we are commanded to pray for them. Surely you agree, sister?
Dear Maria.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Praying for Hitler, did not help much. Still we are called to pray. Sometimes, also Christians are called to speak out against evil. And to warn others against hypocrisy, false Prophets, etc. If we do not, we are seen as silent supporters of wrongdoing and evil.
Ivar, your comparison of President Trump to Hitler is slander. Slander isn’t the way to warn people. We need to treat the reputation of others as if it is our own reputation. I hope you will see this!
Dear Maria, a gentle iconoclast
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I feel I have some good arguments comparing Trump and Hitler. Freedom of expression might not survive. Debating the core issues do not make anyone popular.
Dear Maria, a gentile iconoclast.
Shalom and love in Jesus.
Some obvious simularities between Hitler and Trump.
1. Both used inflamatory language to stire up the masses.
2. Both blamed the media for lies and cheating.
3. Both are ultra-nationalists, and want their nation to stand 1st.
4. Both think toruture is ok.
5. Both wants to kick out people they dont like.
6. Bot are exstremely occupied with them selves, and claim they have never done anything wrong.
7. Both defame, intimidate and insult people who diagree with them.
8. Both claim only they can fix “the system”, claim only they knows the secret truth, and they both deny facts.
9. Both made jokes about disabeled people, and hate weakness and “loosers”.
etc.
This is a classical caracteristic of a Facist. In their footsteps there are always chaos, martial law and eventually an apocalyptic disaster.
Ivar, you have taken every flaw of President Trump’s character and drawn a caricature of him as a ‘facist’. This is speculation and slander. Free speech you say? Okay, but that is the worldly view. Since when is it the Christian way to have ‘free speech’? We are to be self-controlled, love and respect others. Pray, pray, pray!
Dear Maria, a gentle iconoclast
Shalom, and love in Jesus.

My reply:
If I am right, this is not speculation and slander. Which of my points, do you disagree with?
Regarding “free speach”, it is one of the pillars of democracy and freedom. Christians do not have to agree with all that has been spoken or written. And Christians surely have different views and opinions. It is a Constitutional right to disagree, and not bow before the ruler. Dictators of different colors always put them selves above the law and the Constitution.
Nanette, I see that you do agree about praying. Great!
Please see my comments dated January 30, 2017 in reply to the article about Trump defunding Islamic terror, for more background on why his policies are causing globalist elites to lose control of their bowels just like Belshazzer did when the handwriting appeared on the wall. With respect, comparing Donald Trump and his advisors to Hitler and the coming Anti-Christ is way over the top. Please sit down, wipe your forehead with a cold hand towel, and drink something cool and refreshing. Bless your heart, your article and some of these posts sound like you all are running a high temperature! All of these thoughts seem to run in a track that the Anti-Christ is lurking around the corner, and as the scripture paints a grim picture of the end days, so things can’t get any better. Any leader who tries to improve things is either misguided, or an unwitting fool paving the way for anti-Christ. This sort of syllogistic reasoning is a classic straw man argument any high school debate coach would award a failing grade to. To repeat the harsh ad hominem attacks on Trump from the globalist media, and pair it up with speculation about the soon advent of Anti-Christ is simply guilt by association. To assert allegations, of itself, does not make them true. I agree Christians should support Israel, be ready for Christ to come at any moment, avoid the ecumenical movement, be watchful, and evangelistic. However, the Rapture, and the time of Jacob’s trouble could just as likely occur 50 years from now, or 500 years from now. People have been asserting that one or another world leaders is the anti-Christ ever since Napoleon’s time, Christians have jumped the gun on God by saying Mussolini, Hitler, FDR, Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan, or Obama are the anti-Christ of the Bible. Now Trump is to be feared because all the legacy media, protesters hired by George Soros, the genocide and Eugenics murder machine called Planned Parenthood, and the religion of peace folks have “spat the dummy’ at Mr. Trump. To them I can only say, “you ain’t seen nothing yet!” But to Christians who believe that American Christian who is pleased with Donald Trump are lemmings about to go over the cliff with Antii-Christ is a lacking in credibility. It can make the subject of prophecy seem like wild ranting. That would be a shame. We Chrstians are better than that.
Thomas P. Fisher
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
It is premature to conclude. We have to see what Trump will do. He has already intimidated a lot of persons, groups and even nations. And even branded the US-media as one of his enemies. Everything that does not go Trumps way, he claims as “rigged”. Just wait and watch. He will first remove all oposition in the GOP. And one pretty blue day, Trump will create so much chaos, that we will be able to enforce martial law in the US, by the power of his executive orders. Than his team can arrest journalists, judges and everyone he claims is an “enemy”. We have seen this is NATO-member Turkey, and few have raised any objections. Neither will they do in the US.
Ivar, I’m not here to debate these points but to remind you that if you don’t know with certainty that Trump is a fascist and will bring martial law then you are bearing false witness about him. A Constitutional right isn’t necessarily a Christian right. Let’s not take this further. Thank you!
Dear Ivar:
I am sure that your scenario of Trump becoming a fascist dictator is rooted in 20th century European history,. But America is not Europe, and Certainly America is not Turkey. Americans see their country as exceptional. I take your point that the rise of Fascism can help us illustrate how political trends can be understood in light of end times prophecy, if we are talking about countries other than the USA.
But let’s take the fascist angle and see where it leads us. If you take Hitlers Fascism and delete the racist aspect, what you are left with is the globalism of George Soros, the Bilderbergers, Davos, etc. When you see the EU for what it is, it’s as if Germany won World War 2. The whole globalist economy is crony capitalism, your article discussed the striking fact how 8 of these crony capitalists have done well under globalism.
So if globalism is simply fascist economics gone worldwide, political Islam and George Soros leftist paid rioters in the USA are it’s muscle on the street, just like the brown shirted SA was for Hitler. Hitler loved Islam, and thought it would be a good religion for Germany. He had Islamic units in the SS, full of Bosnian Muslims.
My point is that in today’s world, politics is a zero sum game. It is a win-lose situation where one side’s success is another’s failure. While as Christians we are monarchists, Jesus is our King. And only He can permanently right the worlds wrongs. Until the 2nd coming, he is not yet on the political scene. So in our zero sum game, we have globalism being challenged by the nationalism of Brexit, Putin, AFD party in Germany, and of course, Donald Trump. We know that Muslims and Marxists are firmly on the side of globalism. What side are bible believers on? Of course we are partisans of Christ, but what if His return is 100 or even 500 years from now? Are we to simply lay down and let the globalists have their way with the world? And make no mistake, if Trump and Putin fail, we will have a boot stomping I’m our face that will never be lifted off, to use the phrase made famous in George Orwell’s novel 1984. I don’t want that globalist boot on my face, in the interim between now and Christ’s undatable return, I want to be as free as I can be.
Which leads to my point, if we undermine Trump in the eyes of Christians, we are carrying water for Globalism and Islam. There is no such thing as “moderate Islam,” there is just Islam. Attacks by Muslims on Christians are up 245% in France. Where are the moderate Muslims protesting the rape epidemic in Germany and Sweden? Are your maid and Sufi friends marching in the street with signs “Muslim hands off the Kufar women?” I don’t think so. Trump wants to keep the rapists and terrorists out of the USA, the globalist minions that infest our federal Judiciary in the USA want to let these people flood in. Every Muslim who migrates into the west is practicing Jihad. The pace of conquest is slower than ISIS, but the peaceful and the terrorist Muslim both want the same thing: the whole world assimilated into the Borg of Islam, all living under Sharia in a global caliphate.
Unwittingly we have become the “useful idiots,” that Vladimir Lenin wrote about. I get it if Trump’s vulgarian language, his verbal pugnaciousness in putting down political opponents in the leftist/globalist dominated media, his braggadocious salesmanship are unsettling to the sensibilities of good Christians. But when you are in a no quarter given, fight to the death struggle with globalism, I won’t attack others who struggle at my side that have rough edges. Trump and Putin are all that stands in the way of the globalist octopus and the Islamic Borg.. Every Christian must understand whose side they are on, and in this fight, there are only 2 sides. I want freedom for my nation, my church, for my family and friends. Islamic migrants and George Soros paid rioters want to take my freedom from me. That’s why this Christian has Trump for his president.
In any good detective story, the deceive asks “who benefits?” Well, George Soros, Islam, the EU, the Pope, and the UN are the ones benefiting whenever President Trump is attacked. Ivar, bless your heart, but you have fallen into a trap of caring water for globalism and Islam. I am trying to rescue you from this trap, but to escape it you will have to stop these ad hominem attacks on President Trump. May the God of peace be with you and I.
Dear Ivar: peace to all who love Jesus.
I am wondering, since the common saying is “silence is consent,” does this mean you are in agreement with the main thrust of my argument, that globalists and all Muslims are the real enemy, why give them aid and comfort by ad hominem attacks on Trump?
Kind regards….. Tom Fischer
Dear Thomas Fischer
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
My silence is not a sign of consent. And I do not agree that “all the Muslims are the real enemy”. I have Muslim friends. I have had several Muslim servants, and I have evengelized a handful of them. Given them Bibles. As Evangelical Christians we are called to love Muslims, but warn against and hate the ideology of Islam.
Dear Thomas Fisher.
Shalom,and love in Jesus.
I am not against globalization. There are many issues that can only be solved by enforcing international lawas and multi-national agreements. But I am a Nationalist, who believe that every human have a right to live as a citizen of a souvereign nation, which has safe borders. I am not aganist immigration. But I believe in a more restrictive immigration policy, borders and border controls. People who have done not nothing wrong, and repect the values of the nation they are about to enter, noting to fear from more stricter border crossings.
Dear Ivar: thanks for your replies. We agree more than we disagree.
I agree that individual Muslims are often good people. Your whole line of reasoning seems to rest on this point. But don’t put any weight on this reed, it may poke a hole in your hand! All these nice Muslims have neither the power, nor the will to moderate Islam. They are trotted out by globalist media outlets after every outrage in Berlin, Nice, Paris, Brussels, etc. They practice the Idlamic doctrine of “Taqeia,” and deceive naive non Muslims by asserting that terrorists don’t represent Islam, beware of Islamaphobia, etc. But would they advocate deporting fundamentalist Muslims? Of course not. They don’t want to be labeled as apostates, and then killed by other Muslims. They would never say that Sharia law is immoral and stupid. Sharia is the problem, it is a virus inside the mind of all Muslims, save for those you have disciples into Christianity.
I think the whole idea that we can successfully weed the bad Muslim immigrants from among the good ones is impossible (at least until we get technology that can read a person’s thoughts and memories from a distance). But political correctness would probably prevent this from Being deployed.
It is also irrelevant. Moderate Muslims date and marry European women and have large families. They practice polygamy suriptitiously inside their impenetrable Muslim ghettos, and enroll their extra wives and children in the welfare system. Every Muslim immigrant, refugee, etc, is contributing to a demographic Tsunami that will bury indigenous Europeans. Even if they are not radicalized terrorists, so what? If Jesus return is delayed, in a few decades your grandchildren will live in a Muslim majority country and Europe’s national cultures will vanish. Long before their numbers get that high, the problems start. Case in point: France. Muslims are @ 8% of the population, and look at what is going on there. Attacks on Christians are up 245%. More and more Jews are leaving for Israel. The police and fire dept don’t dare to enter Muslim dominated suburbs of Paris, London, Brussels. Surely you are not ignorant of these facts?
But it is encouraging that new polls show the majority of Europeans have said enough, not one more Muslim into Europe. Traitors like Angela Merkel will soon find themselves tossed out of Office. Muslims are joining churches in Germany. Countries like Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic have told the European commission they will not obey dictats that they must take the quota of refugees. So the Muslims and their “useful idiot” allies on the left are not getting things all their own way. May their tribe increase!
Looking forward to a substantial reply that engages with my evidence. Most of my points you ignoring. But bless you all the same. Peace in Christ, Tom Fischer
Dear Thomas Fiscer
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I am not pro-immigration of Muslims to any nation. When nations have proper borders, do not distribute money for free and can deport people who promote Jihad, hate and violence, the inflow of Muslims will be reduced by its self.
I am also aware that if the number of Muslims bypass 20-25 per cent of the population, civil war is not avoidale. So its always best that the numbers of Muslims are restricted to a small minority.
Dear Ivar. May god bless this unique and informative web site. I think we have had a good and productive dialogue, and agree on more than we disagree. As to the rest, we agree to disagree, i. A spirit lot of goodwill.
I think you have fully engaged most of my points, and you have discovered that it’s likely that either a majority of your regular readers appreciate the new US president, warts and all, for nationalistic and patriotic reasons, and don’t see this as incompatable with looking forward to a pre-millennial second coming of Christ. I urge all of Trimp’s supporters to continue to make use of this unique and very useful blog.
About Trump’s having owned a casino, past vulgarian language, or braggadocios self promotion; these are not character traits I would support. But a president does not need to meet the character test of a Sunday school superintendent.
But I do take note that the CFR related Foreign Policy magazine has predicted that Trump will be overthrown or even killed. So in a magazine globalists use to communicate their agenda to each other, that’s proof positive that elite globalists wan’t Trump dead, and are scheming towards that end. So they clearly don’t see Trump as paving the way for their long awaited Anti-Christ. How could someone who says “nationalism, not globalism will be our guiding principal, and putting America first will be the litmus test for every policy,” be someone paving the way for anti-Christ? Of course not! Everything Trump has done thus far, and his appointments Must be triggering every globalist, examples such as George Soros, Bill Gates, Pope Francis, etc. So for them Trump is a problem, not an enabler for their Agenda.
The majority of Americans see Trump as a non ideological problem solver, and in the eyes of all Nationalistic Americans that’s what they see in him. These nationalists may be Jewish, like brietbart.com, they may be Christians like Jerry Falwell Junior, some may be gays who don’t want any more Muslims admitted to the USA after the massacre at Orlando, like Milo Yiannapoulis, some may be Hindus, some may be agnostics. Love of country unites a lot of diverse people.
So I am satisfied our dialogue has been useful, cordial, and uncovered several areas of agreement. As such I am happy my view has been given a fair hearing, if nobody engages further with my posts, I will let the matter rest. May God bless you Ivar, and all the good work you do. Cheers, Tom Fischer
Dear Tom Ficher
Shalom and love in Jesus.
Thanks for endorsing News That Matters. I have a lot of friends and readers who are supporters of Donald Trump. I love them enough to warn them, not to think that Trump is some kind of a replacement Messiah, or a new John The Baptist. Being a supporter of safe borders and more strict rules of immigration, and a friend of Israel, I hope Trump will be able to deliver. Not being incompetent to be President of the USA. And I will be positivly surprised if Trump is not a man who will mostly create panic and chaos.
Sufism is of the devil.
