US Daily Review: Multiple Articles

I am several articles behind, and I do apologize. It has been a crazy week as I've been transitioning Turning the Tide with Candace Salima from BlogTalkRadio to Livestream. Everyone can now listen, and watch, my radio show right on my website. I'll write more on this later.

Anyway, here we go, all the articles at once:

A Cause Worth Dying For

by Candace Salima, a regular contributor to US Daily Review

Published 30 September 2011

Youcef Nadarkhani, a 32-year old pastor, is facing execution today, because he has the temerity to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, rather than Allah. Despite being imprisoned for two years, and subjected to untold horrors and tortures, Nadarkhani has remained strong in his faith, he will not deny Jesus Christ.

In Iran, this is a crime punishable by death, and by the publishing of this article, the good pastor could already be dead, his wife a widow, and his children fatherless. Although, his defense is hopeful the appeals court will give Nadarkhani a full acquittal before it’s too late.

Facebook Data Mining or Big Brother Run Amuck?

by Candace Salima, a regular contributor to US Daily Review

Published 28 September 2011

I was happily researching my article comparing Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, posting funny things I found on Facebook in the process. It was interesting as I was digging up sources, finding quotes, videos, etc. until a post showed up immediately on my FB profile, stating the following:

Everything we post on Facebook goes to the Obama 2012 page. Facebook is putting our posts on Barack Obama’s page any time you mention his name in your update. We have to stop this!

Isle of Misfit Politicians

by Candace Salima, a regular contributor to US Daily Review

Published 27 September 2011

Do you remember that old Christmas cartoon The Isle of Misfit Toys? Well, last week it popped into my head that we need an Isle of Misfit Politicians, only there would be no Rudolph or Santa coming to the rescue. I can think of a number of politicians who would grace this lonely isle. I’m certain it would inspire them to redistribute whatever wealth was available, or build homes for the disenfranchised.

Looking at the political climate, it’s frankly embarrassing to have the likes of Barack Obama prancing around the country pimping his American Jobs Act which is an unmitigated disaster. While catering to others, according to Maxine Waters, Obama called for the Congressional Black Caucus to shut up and put on their big boy pants: “I expect all of you to march with me and press on. Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do, CBC.” Oh no, they didn’t take too kindly to that!

War on the Southern Border

by Candace Salima, a regular contributor to US Daily Review

Published on 19 September 2011

On September 17th I was privileged to interview the director of Border Narcotics Intelligence, a private agency working in concert with law enforcement in our southwestern states. They gather intelligence regarding the drug trade which they then turn over to the effected law enforcement agency. We discussed America’s 3rd War, the war between the Mexican drug cartels, the illegal immigrants, and America. We also talked about the effect this war is having on Americans in every city, county, and state. It was a clarifying interview sparking this article.

The war on our southern border is invading every aspect of American society. It is not just a war between the cartels and the Border Patrol. It doesn’t stay just between drug dealers and drug users. Illegal immigrants, if they aren’t forced into being drug mules or prostitutes, steal their way into America and 71% to 75% of them commit identity fraud. Middle Easterners and East Indians are quickly becoming the favorite of the coyotes. In other words, terrorists have an open entry into America where they will not be tracked. No visas. Nothing. They just purchase a false identity and disappear into American cities.

Book Review: Believe in America by Mitt Romney

by Candace Salima, a regular contributor to US Daily Review

Published by 18 September 2011

I don’t believe we’ve ever seen a candidate for United States president publish the basis of his economic plan for all to read before. And yet, this is precisely what Mitt Romney has done. He then, very wisely, made it available in electronic format, both on his website and on Kindle … and to top it all off, it’s free.

That’s the right price for me, so I immediately downloaded it onto my laptop and Galaxy Tab and started reading. I was not only pleasantly surprised by the thoroughness of the contents, it set a new standard for me in presidential candidates. Let me explain.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

There is little else in the world that pierces my patriotic heart more deeply than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic. The majesty and powerful way in which they perform this American hymn reminds me constantly that America was founded on Judeo/Christian principles that cannot be wished away by the liberal left of America.

Listen and tell me you cannot feel the power and strength of the American Spirit ringing through the hallowed fields, prairies, plains, and mountains of America as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord..."

Ezra Taft Benson, the Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower, said: "I love America. I love the people in this beloved land as well as our Father’s children in all other countries. The Lord decreed that America is “a land choice above all other lands” to those who keep his commandments. We remain here in this land as long as we remain in God’s divine favor."

I have written many times about the Founding Fathers and their deep, abiding belief in God, if not always in organized religion. I believe, with my whole heart, that America's future lies in the ability of her people to turn back to God, or cease to exist as has happened to many other nations.

We have a great privilege, and responsibility, as Americans, to stand as an ensign to the nations, not only of freedom and liberty, but also of God. No matter how many times he says it, Obama is wrong when he states that America is no longer a Judeo/Christian nation. We are, and ever will be.

I was told, not too long ago, that if I wished to continue a particular association, one of the things I had to do was never write anything religious for the public again, let alone on my blog. I was no longer to post religious thoughts or beliefs on Facebook or Twitter. As you can imagine, it took little thought to turn around and walk away. I am ever driven by three things: God, family, and country. And never, ever, regardless of the monetary enticement, will I walk away from any of the three.

The fate of America lies within her own power. First, to accept that we are a Judeo/Christian nation who allows religious freedom, but no longer will tolerate the suppression of Christianity in favor of another religion, or lack thereof, even can we say: "America, O America, thy fate is fickle if the path chosen leads you to unbelief." And we must, with great fervor and acceptance of the sacred responsibility, arise as a people to protect and defend the divinely inspired U.S. Constitution, in its entirety. We must hold to, and protect the Republic of the United States of America, for madness alone lies ahead in the path chosen by Barack Obama and others who agree with him.

So play the song once again, listen to the words of The Battle Hymn of the Republic and realize our fate is within our grasp. Will we survive as a nation, or crumble to dust in the way of so many great nations of the world's historic past? The choice is ours.

US Daily Review: Obama vs America

by Candace Salima, a regular contributor to US Daily Review
Posted 18 September 2011

America vs. Obama. I recall someone saying to me that Barack Obama was the great uniter. I scoffed, because I’d researched Barack Obama, thoroughly, long before the election put one of the most dangerous men in American history into the Oval Office.

The “great uniter” my friend had called Barack Obama has turned out to be the “Great Divider.” Let’s step back for a moment and look at the entire situation objectively.

I was raised in a color-blind home. Racial epithets were not allowed. And we were taught to see individuals for their hearts, rather than the color of their skin. Then I became an adult.

US Daily Review: Attack Watch! My Aunt Bessie's Fanny

Posted on 15 September 2011
By Candace Salima, Contributor, US Daily Review

Barack Obama’s “Obama for America” group has launched a website called AttackWatch. And what this site is supposed to do, ostensibly, it is to provide a place for Americans to snitch on their fellow Americans. Well, to be honest, if I report that Barack Obama is the worst president ever because of his economic, military, constitutional rights, energy, immigration, healthcare policies, then little Obamaites can run to AttackWatch.com and report me. AttackWatch will kindly then provide them all the facts and figures to counter my “attack.” Because to Barack Obama, facts are not acceptable, they are ATTACKS! (His emphasis, not mine.)

Then they decided it would be a brilliant idea to create a Twitter account called @AttackWatch and a hashtag called #AttackWatch. I do believe that’s where their biggest mistake was made.

New York Magazine calls it “Obama assuming a fighting stance with AttackWatch.com website,” I call it the height of ridculousness in an already farcical campaign. And you should have seen it hit the Twitterworld Tuesday night. If Barack Obama thought anyone with an iota of common sense would take this site seriously, he was dead wrong.

US Daily Review: The Death Knell of a Nation, Part 2

US Daily Review
posted on 14 September 2011

by Candace Salima, contributor to US Daily Review

An illiterate nation is a third world nation. Yes, the current political climate is insane, the economy even more so. Our southern border is so porous entire classes of criminals waltz back and forth over the border without hesitation, taking over American border towns without a single shot fired. The governors of the border states pay no attention. The law enforcement agencies pay no attention. Our president ignores the situation. These illegal immigrants can’t speak English, let alone read it. But portions of our American government want to give them the right to vote so they can choose that man, or woman, who will give them the most stuff. God forbid they should actually work to improve themselves, their situations and circumstances. How could they start? By learning English, but no, they want everyone to learn Spanish so they don’t have to stretch themselves or their minds. They’ve come to America, learn to read and speak English.

Americans need to start reading. Fiction, nonfiction, I don’t care. Certainly, readers of fiction think outside the box, tend to reach further and accept fewer limitations, but read . . . I don’t care what. (Okay, scratch that. I’d be forever grateful if you would forego Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto. That’s just drivel.) If every American today had read the works of the Founding Fathers, studied the U.S. Constitution and thrown their all into living up to the responsibilities and privileges of being an American we wouldn’t be in trouble right now. However, most Americans haven’t read the U.S. Constitution. Most Americans have never looked past the first few lines of the Declaration of Independence where we told the King of England . . . see ya!

US Daily Review: The Death Knell of a Nation, Part 1

US Daily Review
posted on 11 September 2011

by Candace Salima, contributor to US Daily Review

It is not often I sit down and take stock of my life. I know my life’s passions, besides God and my family, are politics and writing. It is what drives me and what fills my soul. The interesting thing? As much as it matters to me is how little it matters to those around me.

Interestingly, 80% of juvenile delinquents are functionally illiterate and yet getting adults to read, showing a good example to their children, is almost impossible. More than 60% of all prison inmates are functionally illiterate. Yet trying to get anyone to listen is like talking to someone blind, deaf and mute.

There are those who would rather play Warcraft, City of Heroes or a multitude of other multiplayer online games and video games then spend time reading to their children. Others would rather play football, basketball, racquetball . . . anything that keeps them from actually having to sit down and read or interact with their families. I’ve heard yet others say they don’t enjoy it and would rather walk over hot coals than read a book. (I’ve had that same reaction to some books too. But there are thousands upon thousands of authors and books. I promise you, if you will look, you’ll find authors you enjoy, and books you cannot put down.) Reading is at the core of all we are, and all we hope to become.

US Daily Review: Lessons Learned from 9/11

US Daily Review
posted on 11 September 2011

by Candace Salima, contributor to US Daily Review

I have a regular mantra, one I end up repeating often because so many seem to be ignoring our past, to our peril:

“If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.” (Paraphrased from George Santayana)

As much as Barack Obama and his administration want the terms radical Islam, jihad and terrorism excised from the American vocabulary, closing our eyes, plugging our ears and singing la, la, la, won’t make the truth disappear. We are at war.

I will never forget the events of September 11, 2011. I was getting ready for work, and had the news on, as I do every morning. I was just leaving my room when I something that stopped me cold. I turned toward the television in utter horror as they played tape of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center. I sat down on my bed and just watched, tears rolling down my face, and begin to pray for the thousands of people in those buildings.

US Daily Review: A Word of Caution

A Word of Caution on US Daily Review
by Candace Salima, Contributor

Posted on 9 September 2011

I wish to extend a word of caution for the current presidential campaign ongoing in our nation now. We have leaders in our conservative movement, others on the fringe of that same movement, indulging in the crucifying of candidates, or potential candidates, in the Republican line-up. Let me tell you a little story.

In my area of the country we were in a hotly contested U.S. Senate race. Senator Bob Bennett, while liked by the rest of the nation, had severely disappointed his constituents in many, many ways. As such, I, along with hundreds of thousands of others, went looking for a candidate they could support against him. Three emerged in that race and the Republican field came down to: Senator Bob Bennett, Mike Lee, Tim Bridgewater, and Cherilyn Eager. I, personally, decided to support and endorse Mike Lee, and worked day and night to get the man elected. Here’s where my story gets to the salient point.

US Daily Review: Hoffa Declares War on the Tea Party

Posted on 08 September 2011
By Candace E. Salima, Contributor of US Daily Review

What a political climate this nation has to deal with now. It’s as if everyone who ever read the Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, decided to all jump out of the woodwork and lose their collective minds. To quote Jimmy Hoffa, and what a legacy that one has, as he screamed out to the union audience with Barack Obama hovering off the stage:

“President Obama, this is your army, we are ready to march,” Hoffa said. “But everybody here’s got to vote. If we go back, and keep the eye on the prize, let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out.” Source

No one in the Democrat Party, let alone Barack Obama, is willing to offer an apology for this kind of rhetoric, although they are quick to harp on imagined sleights by conservatives in a heartbeat. Not Jimmy Hoffa, Barack Obama, Jay Carney, or Debbie Wasserman Schultz saw anything wrong with Hoffa’s statement. But when Sarah Palin put a crosshairs on candidates to beat, you’d have thought she’d committed mass murder rather than employing a technique the Democrats were only too fond of using.

US Daily Review: Compromise Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be

US Daily Review

Posted on 07 September 2011

By Candace E. Salima, Contributor of US Daily Review

It was compromise that got America into the unholy economic and constitutional mess we’re in now. We must return to those principles which made America great. If we do not, if we continue to compromise toward socialism we will be destroyed, and there will be no sign of that America left which was once an ensign to the nations of freedom, liberty, and love of life.

I know that seems a very harsh statement, but it is a stark fact of life which seems to escape all politicians. Compromise in Washington, D.C. seems to be Republicans giving in and giving in until there is no longer a resemblance to the conservative values they once held. We simply cannot main this course, it is unsustainable on many levels.

US Daily Review: The Devil Colony by James Rollins

Book Review: The Devil Colony
by Candace E. Salima, Contributor of US Daily Review

4 September 2011

The Devil Colony by James Rollins, released June 21, 2011, is the latest in his Sigma Force series, and is a page-turner you will not want to put down. Rollins combined nanotechnology, the Yellowstone caldera, ancient and early American history, Native American legend, Jewish history, and gave us a story that takes us on an unbelievable ride through history. He skillfully wove these elements together and then added in Sigma Force and their nemesis, The Guild, and threw the reader right into the middle of the story.

The book opens high in the Uintah mountains of Utah where a long-protected secret is about to be revealed, much to their peril, by two teenagers determined to explore forbidden caves, where they make a remarkable find. And the story doesn’t slow down through 496 pages. I read it in one night and immediately started it over when I finished it.

Turning the Tide ... It is only the beginning

It is an incredible honor for my new radio show, Turning the Tide with Candace Salima, to already be picked up by All Fired Up! Radio after only two aired shows. Because the station is based in Houston, TX and I am in the Rocky Mountains, I currently call my show into the network there. Right now, that works, but because I have such a high standard for myself, and a desire for a clear crisp sound for our listenership, I had to look for other equipment options.

I have found the option. A professional, albeit small, studio with all the appropriate equipment. This will enable me to have in studio guests, have callers, AND enable me to deliver a professional product to All Fired Up! Radio.

I need help raising the funds to accomplish this purpose. So let me tell you what your donation will accomplish.

Turning the Tide introduces author, talk show host, political activist, and public speaker, Candace E. Salima to the national state. Candace became the 6th child of 12 when her mother married the father of her heart, and blended their families. Candace's father survived Hitler's invasion of his Netherlands homeland and after emigrating to America, increased in Candace the burning love for the principles of freedom.

Struggling for several years as a single parent, Candace's mother made God, education and family the focus of her children's upbringing. Her mother's strong spirit and independence only added to Candace's resolve to preserve the American dream, and to do her own show, Turning the Tide. She is still followed by a nationwide audience via her show, Facebook, Twitter, her blog, websites, and public speaking.

Candace interviews politicians, authors, actors, actresses, musicians, businessmen, anyone or anything that turns the tide toward morning in America again."

Your donation will take my message of hope, determination, and patriotism nationwide. My goal is to educate, inspire, and motivate America's citizenry to become engaged in the restoration of America to a constitutionally-limited government and fiscally sound economy.

Thank you, and may God bless you and this great nation of ours, the United States of America. Please click here to donate to this very worthy cause of furthering this one-of-a-kind conservative talk radio show: http://www.gofundme.com/TurningtheTideRadio

If you prefer to snail mail a donation, you may send it to:

Turning the Tide
Attn: Candace Salima
P.O. Box 2516
Orem, UT 84059-2516

Make the check or money order out to Candace Salima, as Turning the Tide is not an official company, only a show right now. The funds will be used to purchase the above mentioned equipment. Thank you for your generosity.

U.S. Daily Review: To Whom Will We Leave America

Steven and Kathryn Miner, now in their twenties, filed a lawsuit against their mother two years ago, egged on by their father, who is an attorney. The suit was based on “bad parenting,” because…and brace yourself…college care packages were inadequate, homecoming budgets insufficient, and being forced to have a curfew. Source I have to admit, I was left somewhat speechless at the sheer audacity and self-entitled attitude of this woman’s children.

One of my greatest fears in this battle for America we are waging is that we will win. America’s economy will be restored, we will restore a constitutionally-limited government, America’s future will be bright once more, and we will then turn it over to the next generation…who is fond of suing their parents for pathetic and petty reasons. It would seem the battle is lost before it’s ever begun.
