Pastor Darrell Scott tells us exactly what defunding the police would do to minority communities. It is absolutely crazy that such an argument needs to be made.
The 6th Annual Colorado Law Enforcement Appreciation Day took place in Denver on Sunday. The event was held at the Greek Amphitheatre in Civic Center Park. The event had been advertised on social media and was billed as a “family friendly” event. Michelle Malkin was a scheduled speaker and had advertised the event on her Twitter account.
Marxists control organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa. They have started an insurrection using the trojan horse of racial injustice. The rioting and looting and general mayhem are part of the process to overthrow the current governmental structure of the country with one that is Marxist/communist. Most of this effort is currently focused on the urban centers of America.
In a clear victory for religious liberty, the Supreme Court twice decided, by a 7-2 margin, that religious liberties still exist in this country. In the first case the Little Sisters of the Poor were vindicated by not having to violate their religious beliefs over the sanctity of life.
There are literally thousands of memes circulating on the internet about the Wuhan virus pandemic. Some are funny. Some express satire. Others are directed at one political party or the other, at one political personage or another. And then there are some like this one.
Christianity has been under constant attack around the world and in America. President Obama tried to redefine the free exercise of religion into a freedom to worship. As many of his policies indicated, one did not have the right to a free exercise of religion in the public sphere. The ultimate objective was create the mindset that the freedom to worship came from the government. It was not an inalienable right.
During this time, it was certainly not a popular position to advocate for Christianity. This was especially true among the celebrities and pop icons. The tendency to denigrate and scorn those who believe in Jesus Christ was especially strong during the Obama years. Most people remember Obama’s “bitter clingers to guns and religion” remark.
To have well-known and popular people stand up for Christianity was rare. Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney has been one of those exceptions. Swinney has been standing up for Christ throughout the dark years of the Obama presidency. Swinney will not allow his belief in Jesus Christ to be relegated only to a church on Sundays.
For those who may not know little about Swinney, he was tapped to take over Clemson’s football program in 2009. Little known at the time, Swinney has turned Clemson into a perennial winner. As Swinney says, his job is to win football games. And win games they have with a 131-30 record during his tenure. Clemson has made the Final Four of college football each of the last five seasons.
The following is a piece by Michael James over at American Thinker. I am currently trying to understand the chaos that is going on inside Judge Sullivan’s courtroom. I will have more on that situation later this week.
The stakes are escalating daily as authoritarian government officials deny their citizens the right to earn a living and/or to attend religious services and/or just to enjoy the simple rights of free association. Citizens who are following the CDC guidelines have been arrested and charged with violating lockdown orders that came from their local government officials. The repressive nature of some of those people who have been elected to serve us is going on display all over the country.
The time has long since passed that people need to be confined to their homes if there ever was a need to do so in the first place. Now if someone is sick with COVID-19, there may be a need for quarantine. But, government has been shutting healthy people in their homes and preventing healthy people from making a living.
AG Barr has taken an interest in the possibility that states may be violating their citizens’ rights with Stay-At-Home orders. And it is more than just a passing interest. On Monday Barr ordered federal prosecutors across the U.S. to identify coronavirus-related restrictions from state and local governments that may exceed constitutional bounds. Interestingly enough, along with the head of the Civil Rights Division, he assigned the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan to coordinate these efforts. Governor Whitmer of Michigan has been one of the most dictatorial ones in restricting her citizens’ rights of speech and association. Was Barr sending a message?
Governor “Blackface” Northam’s original lockdown order is scheduled to run through June 10th. Virginians hoping for a quick restart of normal life received a shock last week. In what is clearly an attempt to destroy the economy so that PDJT will not be re-elected, Norman Oliver, Virginia’s top health official, said the state would most likely be in lockdown for the next two years.
