One wonders what exactly these generals think we’ve been doing for the past twenty years?

Why have thousands of American soldiers died and many more were wounded fighting… what… exactly?

But we mustn’t talk about the war. Or even mention that we can’t talk about the war.

At least three prominent retired general officers have dropped their support for President Trump’s nominee for the Pentagon’s top policy job, retired Army Brig. Gen. Anthony Tata, over inflammatory tweets he made two years ago on Islam, President Obama and Democratic lawmakers.

“I now would not want him in that position,” said retired Army Gen. Joe Votel, who led U.S. Central Command until 2019, of Gen. Tata.

Gen. Votel was one of 35 former senior military officers, former State Department personnel and other former national security officials who had signed a letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee in support of Gen. Tata’s nomination before the tweets had re-emerged.

What are these horrifying tweets?

In a series of remarks on Twitter, Gen. Tata called Islam “the most oppressive, violent religion” and referred to Mr. Obama as a “terrorist leader.” In a radio appearance, he falsely referred to Mr. Obama’s “Islamic roots,” according to CNN, which first reported his remarks June 12.

Falsely? Obama wrote an entire memoir based on that premise. He included it in his Cairo speech, saying, “I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims,”

His minister, Jeremiah Wright, had started out as a black Muslim. And retained the ideology, complete with Farrakhan ties.

But these days, stating facts means that the media throws in a “falsely” and calls for your head, and the D.C. establishment, looking at its career options, quickly joins in.



“MASS RESISTANCE” DERAILS HORRIBLE BILL IN CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE THAT WOULD ALLOW HOMOSEXUAL ADULTS TO SEXUALLY PREY ON CHILDREN WITHOUT REGISTERING AS SEX OFFENDERS

Part of LGBT movement’s larger goals: Repealing age of sexual consent laws.

Other pro-family groups seemed afraid to take this on.

A huge nightmare for parents is that their young teenage boys might be lured into homosexuality by “gay” older youth and adult males whom they might encounter. We have seen this first hand from anguished parents who have come to us over the years with their stories. The “chicken hawk” – a homosexual man who seduces boys – is part of the homosexual vocabulary. As far back as 1972, the homosexual movement called for the repeal of age of [sexual] consent laws.

Homosexual adults mingling with children

Unfortunately, it’s no longer in the shadows. State sanctioned events that allow adult homosexuals to mingle with teenagers (and younger children) has become a disturbing trend.

Public schools routinely steer young teenage boys (and girls) who are “unsure of their sexuality” to gay-straight alliance“clubs, annual LGBT youth dances, and so-called “Youth Pride” events that all have hideous homosexual men involved (often as official chaperones). The results are often tragic.

Merging underage youth with adults has now even become an official part of the annual adult “Gay Pride” events in many cities. For example, last year:

LA Pride and the Los Angeles LGBT Center are once again hosting the FREE Youth Pride Dance for folks 24 and younger to kick-off LA Pride Weekend 2019! This circus-themed party will include food, drinks (non-alcoholic), giveaways, and so much more!

Frightening attempt to change the law in California

The LGBT movement in California is now attempting to push the envelope even further. This session, openly “gay” State Sen. Scott Wiener introduced a frightening bill, SB 145, in the Legislature.

Currently in California, if an adult (age 18 or over) has heterosexual relations with a teenager (age 14-17) and the age difference between them is less than 10 years, then the adult is not required to be a registered sex offender. But if the adult has homosexual relations with a teenager, then he is required to be registered as a sex offender. This rightfully recognizes the depraved and destructive character of homosexual sex (both physical and mental) and how it affects a child much more profoundly.

This disparity has long angered the homosexual movement, which has always been obsessed with getting access to young teenagers – and with being seen as normal.

SB 145 would eliminate that distinction for homosexual sex. Thus, adult homosexuals could prey on young teenagers sexually – as happens so much – and not be considered sex offenders. Many people have called it the “Sex Offender Freedom” Act.

Wiener represents one of the most LGBT districts in the country: the entire city and county of San Francisco, CA. He is one of the most vocal members of California’s LGBT Legislative Caucus and aggressively pushes “groundbreaking” LGBT legislation.

The bill started out very strong …

Wiener introduced SB 145 in January 2019, at the beginning of the current two-year legislative session. It began in the State Senate, one of the most pro-LGBT in the country. The bill quickly gained momentum.

… And MassResistance jumped into the battle

This is another one of those situations where various pro-family groups raised the alarm and complained – but MassResistance was actually on the ground with people taking direct, confrontational action. And it paid off.

To start, California MassResistance began a full-court press on Sen. Wiener’s office with letters, emails, phone calls, etc., from across the state to urge him to stop the bill. The California MassResistance team in his district even attended Sen Wiener’s town hall event in San Francisco to personally communicate to him their outrage.

But early on, California MassResistance could see that the best strategy was to not to focus on the Senate, but to begin pressuring the State Assembly (similar to the House of Representatives in other states). In March, April, and May 2019, California MassResistance activists throughout the state targeted key Assembly Members in their districts. They even showed up at the Assembly Speaker’s town hall event in his district.

For most of those Assembly members, it is rare that pro-family conservatives in California actually show up and demonstrate their fierce opposition to a bill. The legislators are not used to it at all. It clearly had a pretty big effect.

As expected, SB 145 sailed through three Senate committees. On May 28, 2019 it passed the full Senate 25-3.

From there, SB 145 went to the State Assembly. California MassResistance stepped up the pressure even more, and things quickly started to slow down for SB 145.

On July 10, it was approved by the Assembly’s Public Service Committee and was sent to the Appropriations Committee, where it basically ground to a halt. There was a committee hearing set for August 30, 2019 that was postponed. Nothing further has happened with it.

Right now, during the continued COVID-19 situation, the California Legislature is moving at pretty much a snail’s pace. And constitutionally, the entire session must end for good on August 31, 2020.

It’s looking now like SB 145 likely won’t be passed. But MassResistance is continuing to pressure the Appropriations Committee – and the rest of the Assembly – not to let adult homosexuals prey on children. We have a feeling they’re getting pretty tired of us. And we like it that way!

But make no mistake – without strong pro-family pressure, this bill would probably have been passed and signed into law last year. MassResistance will continue to be vigilant and on the ground ready for action!
