Hawley Wants Religious Conservatives to Get More Say in Trump’s New Supreme Court List

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) urged President Donald Trump to revamp his process of selecting Supreme Court nominees after warning that some conservative voters have expressed deep disappointment with recent decisions by some of the president’s judicial picks.

Hawley told Politico in an interview that religious conservatives are now “very depressed” following the Supreme Court’s recent run of left-leaning rulings, with the GOP senator singling out a June 15 high court decision expanding the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s ban on sex discrimination in hiring beyond biologically-determined sex, to also cover sexual orientation and gender identity.

The 6–3 decision by the Supreme Court in the Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia case (pdf) carried an additional cultural charge because it was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Trump pick. Conservatives widely objected to the ruling, leading some to question their support for Trump, who has made the confirmation of 200 federal judges, including two Supreme Court justices, a big part of his reelection platform, in line with the Republican goal of filling every appeals court opening by the end of the year.

“The whole point of the Federalist Society judicial project, the whole point of electing Trump to implement it, was to deliver Supreme Court victories to social conservatives,” Varad Mehta, a conservative writer, wrote in a tweet following the ruling. “If they can’t deliver anything that basic, there’s no point for either. The damage is incalculable.”

Looking at the world realistically, the second amendment may be the only thing standing between us and tyranny.  I was never one to even think that in this country I would need a concealed carry permit.  But that has all changed now.  Not out of fear, but for simple protection.  I was raised in a small farming community, where guns and hunting were common.  Gun racks in the back of pick up trucks were common, but safety and respect were just as common.  Now in this world with crazy anarchist roaming parts of the country…..

Get a gun and learn how to use it for your protection! 

Man our founding Fathers were truly brilliant.  

It’s a Spirit

So my wife and I decided we would drive up to St. Augustine for a couple of days next week.  Decided we better make sure all the attractions were open for business.  Most were, but the one main thing we wanted to do was take an open air trolley to experience the downtown district.  It’s open, but you have to wear a MASK.  Are you kidding me?  No way I give my hard earned money to a bunch of fear mongers.  When something happens and it make no sense, such as wearing a mask in the open air, it’s a spirit.  We are eat up with fear today.  I am so glad I am old.  I lived my life, I didn’t walk around waiting to be scared or triggered.  God help this soy-boy nation raised with participation trophies.

I was raised barefoot walking in a barnyard, riding barefoot in the back of a truck, drinking from a garden hose, not wearing a seat belt in a car.  I survived but not sure about the soy-boys.  Civilization might end in the near future, at least one you would want to live in.

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.

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

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

(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.

Pastor Scott On Calls To Reduce Police Presence: Criminals ‘would enjoy nothing better’

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Pastor Darrell Scott, founder of the New Spirit Revival Center and author of the book “Nothing to Lose,” testified Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on police reform in the wake of George Floyd’s tragic death. During his opening statement, Scott made very clear to committee members that calls to defund the police amid nationwide anger and protests aren’t the solution to a problem of bad policing that he says rests in a small portion of “rogue” cops.

“I want to begin by stating that the prospect of defunding and, or dismantling police forces across the country is one of the most unwise, irresponsible proposals by American politicians in our nation’s history,” Pastor Scott said. “And makes absolutely no sense at all at least to me.”

“I believe it is nothing short of the politicizing of current social events and an effort to garner votes during this election season. I also believe that it’s a reactionary measure that can and will result in short and longterm damage to American society, particularly in our inner city and urban communities.”

Closing of Abortion Clinics

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Anytime the abortion industry complains about hard times, pro life advocates have good reasons to rejoice.  Independent abortion clinics are struggling financially and may close due to the impact of covid-19.  Hooray!

“On-the-ground access to abortion care is changing every minute,” Nikki Madsen, executive directive of the Abortion Care Network said.  “If we lose clinics, there would be 10 states that would have no care after 11 weeks of pregnancy, and 4 states that would have no care at all.

In my mind I want all abortions stopped, but even a small step is reason to rejoice.

Trump and Religious Freedom

PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER ON ADVANCING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to further protect religious freedom around the world. On behalf of the over two million members and supporters of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, we commend President Trump for making it absolutely clear that protecting religious freedom is a domestic and foreign policy priority.

The executive order outlines that the U.S. will budget at least $50 million per year for programs that advance international religious freedom. The White House will expand available economic tools to support our allies on religious freedom and address bad actors, whether by increasing religious freedom programming, realigning foreign assistance to better reflect country circumstances, restricting the issuance of visas, or deploying Global Magnitsky sanctions where appropriate. This order will also mandate more federal employees who work abroad to undergo training on international religious freedom.

“We are grateful to have a leader such as President Trump, who has made it so clear that he supports religious freedom and wants everyone to worship God freely,” said Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition. “Our brothers and sisters are facing severe persecution around the world for their faith. Through this Executive Order, Trump is showing that he cares for the persecuted and is reaching out to protect and help them.”

In September 2019, President Donald J. Trump made history as the first American President to convene a meeting of global leaders at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to address International Religious Freedom.  The President was clear when he called upon “the nations of the world to end religious persecution.”  This Executive Order fully integrates the President’s vision – a vigorous defense of International Religious Freedom rights for all – into key aspects of United States foreign policy. Yet again, President Trump is taking a decisive action to keep his promise to people of faith around the world.
