Sen. Hawley Blasts Supreme Court’s Bostock Decision, Urges Religious Conservatives to Reject Establishment GOP Deal

In a ringing 13-minute denunciation of the Supreme Court’s Bostock sex discrimination decision, the youngest man in the U.S. Senate urged America’s religious conservatives to demand a new “bargain” from Republican leaders as a condition for their future support.

“If this case makes anything clear, it is that the bargain that has been offered to religious conservatives for years now is a bad one, it’s time to reject it,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) declared on the Senate floor June 16.

“The bargain has never been explicitly articulated, but religious conservatives know what it is,” Hawley said. “The bargain is you go along with the party establishment, you support their policies and priorities, or just keep your mouth shut about it, and in return, the establishment will put some judges on the bench who supposedly will protect your constitutional rights to freedom of worship, to freedom of exercise.

“That’s what we’ve been told for years now, and we were told that we’re supposed to shut up while the party establishment focuses more on cutting taxes and handing out favors for corporations, multinational corporations who don’t share our values, who will not stand up for American principles, who are only too happy to ship American jobs overseas.

“But we’re supposed to say nothing about that, we’re supposed to keep our mouths shut, because maybe we’ll get a judge out of the deal.”

Hawley’s ire was sparked by the high court’s June 15 decision in the Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia case in which by a 6–3 vote, the justices said the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s bar against sex discrimination in hiring isn’t limited to biologically determined sex but also covers sexual orientation and gender identity (including gender change).

U.S. intelligence agencies missed reporting on the seriousness of the coronavirus outbreak in late January that would soon lead to a deadly global pandemic, according to White House National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien.

These guys think they are the smartest guys in the room.  They never see anything until after the fact.  Same guys who just knew Donald Trump was dirty. Just part of the ruling class that have their own agenda.      Posted by Bill Gertz

Seattle Mayor Describes ‘CHAZ’ As A ‘Block Party’, Not ‘An Armed Takeover’

For the life of me I can’t understand what people are thinking.  Wish I  could be mayor of Seattle for a day.  No more occupation.  These people are enemies of the state.

In an interview Thursday night with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan described blocks of Seattle’s streets that have been designated by Antifa the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” as a “block party,” rather than “an armed takeover.” The Seattle police and local government surrendered the area to Antifa anarchists Wednesday, leading to chaos.    JENNIE TAER.

Social Policing

So does Midnight basketball ring a bell?  Not sure if anyone is old enough to remember Bill Clinton’s grand scheme to redo the police departments and make cops social workers.  I can still hear him in his famous aw shucks voice telling us the virtues of finding something constructive for the you men to do.  Come to find our it was basically a way to funnel money to democratic causes.  Didn’t stop crime, didn’t really make a difference.  Typical liberal, he tried and for that he was a folk hero.

I am beginning to wonder who is advising the President? Yeah there are bad cops, but 99% or more I think are selfless honorable men and women.  I can not imagine how it would feel to have someone spit in my face or yell obscenities at me, or try to wrestle me down and take my gun.  Would I overreact?  Probably.  The problem is respect for the authority of the Police.  Tough and thankless job.  I honor you for your service.

God protect our protect those who  protecct us.

The Democratic Party Hates Science

I thought I would share excerpts from an article from World Net Daily.  It speaks volumes to what we are going through at the present time.  The all encompassing dictatorial mandates that have no truth and are at best comical and at worst flat out lies.  Follow the money and the power structure.

“Today’s Democratic Party insists that a beautiful, full-term human baby just about to be born isn’t really a human being and therefore can be slaughtered at will – maybe even after he or she is born – just as long as “the mother and her doctor” agree.

The Democratic Party’s top leaders also passionately warn that the entire earth will become uninhabitable within 10 years due to global warming – unless, that is, America goes full totalitarian/socialist right now and adopts their Green New Deal at an estimated cost of $93 trillion. After all, it’s “settled science.”

The modern Democratic Party likewise contends there are dozens of different genders that never before existed throughout history, that men can menstruate, get pregnant and have babies, and that if you don’t agree with all this, you’re a deplorable bigot. And anti-science.

Blue-state governors, mayors and public health officials have issued sweeping dictatorial orders quarantining the young and healthy inside their homes for extended periods, allowing big-box stores to sell beer and wine but not paint and garden supplies, permitting beachgoers to walk on wet sand but not dry sand, and allowing groups of 25 to meet in a restaurant, department store or most any other venue – but not in a church. It’s science, you see; it’s all in the data.”  Yep it’s the science.

Colorado bill requires ‘re-education’ for parents who refuse COVID-19 vaccine

(ZERO HEDGE) Are you ready for re-education camps in the United States? Colorado has introduced a bill that would “re-educate” parents who refuse to vaccinate their child with the coronavirus vaccine.

The bill forces all doctors and medical staff to give vaccinations with no exemptions, even if they are in a situation where they believe it would not be in that child’s best interest. The bill’s current version, however, does not list any sanctions or punishments for medical staff that refuse, according to Life News.

The bill just passed through a committee in Colorado (20-14) to reduce available exemptions on vaccinations for school-age children (making vaccines mandatory). This bill offers “online education modules” for parents who want a different vaccination schedule than what the state demands. Submitting a “certificate of completion” from the re-education classes is one way to receive the state-sanctioned vaccine exemption.

BREAKING: Three New York Police Detectives Poisoned at a Shake Shack in Manhattan

The officers were hospitalized after drinking the beverages from a Shake Shack near Broadway and Fulton on Monday and are expected to recover, PBA President Pat Lynch said.

“All PBA members are advised to carefully inspect any prepared food item they purchase while on duty for possible contamination,” Lynch said. “Whenever possible, take meals in groups of two or more, and remain vigilant for the duration of the meal period.”

The substance in the drinks is believed to be bleach, Lynch said.

The Detectives’ Endowment Association tweeted that the officers were “intentionally poisoned.”

When is this nonsensical madness going to end?

Key congressman seeks probe into why 80 percent of U.S. foreign investor visas going to China

 

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Penn.) have asked the an investigative arm of Congress to investigate China’s involvement in America’s EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program.

In a letter Monday to the Comptroller General of the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the lawmakers said the program was meant to encourage foreign capital investment and job creation in America but it appears it is being exploited by the Chinese Communist Party.

“Although the EB-5 program’s goal of stimulating capital investment and job creation in the United States is laudable, it has become clear in recent years that the CCP may be abusing the program to gain access to U.S. permanent residency for their members,” the letter says. “Between 2012 and 2018, 80 percent of the nearly 10,000 EB-5 visas available each year went to Chinese-born investors.”

 

SUPREME COURT REDEFINES SEX DISCRIMINATION TO INCLUDE LGBTQ

It is a sad day in the United States of America.  Let me say I as a Christian do not want harm or loss of job to anyone in America, however when a Church or other Christian organization would have to hire a gay person that is a wrong.  Deeply held morality from bodies of faith should and must be kept.  What is even more shocking  is that a conservative justice Gorsuch appointed by Trump has joined the libs on the court.  Roberts is and always will be a loose cannon, but Gorsucch?  One never knows the way an appointee will vote.  I will be curious to know if this will include hiring of LGBTQ persons or not.  If so, it will send ramifications through the faith community.  Churches should have the right and employees to hire who they want.

I understand this ruling was on a certain particular case that had nothing to do with faith institutions, but does anyone think it will  end there.  No, they are and always have been coming for Churches.
