Biden’s Supreme Court Nominee Has Far-Left Record
"Jackson is also related, by marriage, to former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan."
“Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji’s intellect, for her character, for her integrity, it is unequivocal,” Ryan told the Senate Judiciary Committee of Jackson in 2012.
"While Jackson has served in her current position for less than a year, her earlier rulings as a district judge “comported with those of a liberal-leaning judge,” The New York Times reported."
"Those include “blocking the Trump administration’s attempts to fast-track deportations, cut short grants for teen pregnancy prevention and shield a former White House counsel from testifying before Congress about President Donald Trump’s efforts to obstruct the Russia investigation.”"
"As the head of Americans United for Life, Catherine Glenn Foster highlighted that abortion groups such as NARAL and Planned Parenthood applauded Jackson as the nominee “tragically, and literally within seconds of President Biden’s announcement.”"
"“Although Kentanji Brown Jackson has not yet explicitly stated her views on Roe or abortion, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and other abortion activists see in her an ally for the moral crime of abortion,” she stressed in a statement."

(Decision) On Feb. 25, President Joe Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former public defender and current federal appeals judge in Washington, D.C., to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Jackson, 51, had served as one of Breyer’s law clerks during the 1999-2000 term.
If confirmed, Jackson will be the first black woman ever to sit on the Supreme Court, fulfilling a promise Biden made during the 2020 presidential campaign ahead of the South Carolina primary to further diversify the high court.
“For too long, our government and our courts haven’t looked like America,” Biden said while formally announcing Jackson’s nomination at the White House.
Biden’s selection sets in motion what is likely to be a polarized confirmation process in the 50-50 Senate.
Jackson has been a federal judge for nine years and was appointed last year by Biden to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. During her confirmation hearings last spring, Jackson faced a barrage of questions from Senate Republicans, of whom only three voted in her favor.
Jackson’s addition to the Supreme Court would not fundamentally shift its 6-3 conservative majority balance. But if she proves to be ideologically to the left of Breyer, it could reshape the three-member liberal minority and alter the court in more subtle ways.
Among those praising her nomination was the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s most powerful LGBTQ advocacy group, as well as abortion-rights groups.
Kevin Roberts, president of the conservative public policy think tank Heritage Foundation, alluded to as much in his reaction to Biden’s choice.
“There are few decisions more important for a president than the selection of a Supreme Court nominee,” he posted to Twitter. “In this Biden has utterly failed, starting with his criteria for making this appointment. Judges should play a limited role in our government, yet Jackson’s far-left supporters want her to impose a political agenda that invents new rights or erases rights she doesn’t like. Based on the information we already know, senators should reject her for this lifetime appointment.”
The pro-life organization March for Life also opposed Biden’s nomination of Jackson for the U.S. Supreme Court based on her “record of judicial activism.”
“We expect her to be a reliable vote for the far left and the Biden administration’s radical abortion agenda,” the organization wrote.
In 2001, Jackson co-authored a “friend of the court” brief in the case of McGuire v. Reilly, in which she supported a Massachusetts law that created a floating “buffer zone” around pedestrians and cars approaching abortion clinics. Jackson’s clients included the Women’s Bar Association of Massachusetts, the League of Women Voters, the Abortion Access Project of Massachusetts, and NARAL Pro-Choice America. Later, NARAL and the pro-abortion National Women’s Law Center strongly supported her nomination to the D.C. Circuit.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of pro-life organization Susan B. Anthony List, said in a press release: “Joe Biden is fulfilling his promise to only appoint justices who support the Roe v. Wade regime of abortion on demand up to birth—a policy so extreme only a handful of countries in the world hold it, including North Korea and China,” “Ketanji Brown Jackson is backed by many of America’s most radical pro-abortion groups. She is on record opposing the free speech rights of pro-life advocates pleading to save lives outside abortion centers and supporting the false claim that abortion is ‘health care.’ We have no doubt she will work with the most pro-abortion administration in history to enshrine abortion on demand nationwide in the law.”

PLANNED PARENTHOOD STATEMENT ON NOMINATION OF JUDGE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
Washington, D.C. — Today, Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, released the following statement after President Biden announced the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, currently serving on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, to serve as a Supreme Court justice.
Statement from Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
“We celebrate the historic nomination of Judge Jackson to serve as a U.S. Supreme Court justice. Judge Jackson brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and meaningful experience after years of service as a federal judge on both the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and as a public defender earlier in her career. Beyond her record of remarkable achievement, it is clear that she has a deep commitment to public service and pursuing equal justice under the law, including safeguarding individual rights and liberties. And as the first Black woman ever named to the Supreme Court, this historic nomination is long overdue.
“This nomination arrives as our freedoms and civil liberties are in crisis. We are currently awaiting a Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case that challenges a blatantly unconstitutional ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Court could rule to overturn nearly 50 years of precedent, established by Roe v. Wade, and decimate abortion access in states across the country. Already, Texans have spent nearly six months with a ban on abortion at six weeks of pregnancy, before many people even know they’re pregnant. Now more than ever, we need a Supreme Court justice who understands the impact of the court's rulings on people — particularly on reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights — and the importance of protecting individual liberties for generations to come.
“Judge Jackson will play a crucial role in the direction the court takes in the future. As the Senate considers her nomination, we must not lose sight of how meaningful this moment is for this country, and for Black women. Far too often, we don’t see ourselves represented in the highest seats of government. This nomination is also part of essential work to rebuild our courts and protect our health and rights. We call on the Senate to swiftly consider Judge Jackson’s nomination.”"

President Joe Biden on Friday will nominate federal appeals court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, the White House said, making her the first Black woman elected to serve on the high court.
In Jackson, Biden delivers on a campaign promise to make the historic appointment. He has chosen an attorney who would be the Supreme Court’s first former public defender, though she also possesses the elite legal background of other justices.
Jackson would be the current court's second Black justice — Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative, is the other — and just the third in history.
Biden planned to introduce Jackson in remarks at the White House Friday afternoon, where Jackson was also expected to speak, the White House said.
She would also be only the sixth woman to serve on the court, and her confirmation would mean that for the first time four women would sit together on the nine-member court.
The current court includes three women, one of whom is the court’s first Latina, Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Jackson would join the liberal minority of a court that is weighing cutbacks to abortion rights and will be considering ending affirmative action in college admissions and states' voting laws.
Biden is filling the seat that will be vacated by Justice Stephen Breyer, 83, who is retiring at the end of the term this summer.
Jackson, 51, once worked as one of Breyer’s law clerks early in her legal career. She attended Harvard as an undergraduate and for law school and served on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the agency that develops federal sentencing policy, before becoming a federal judge in 2013.
Her nomination is subject to confirmation by the Senate, where Democrats hold the majority by a razor-thin 50-50 margin with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker. Party leaders have promised swift but deliberate consideration of the president’s nominee.
The next justice will replace one of the more liberal justices, so she would not tip the balance of the court, which now leans 6-3 in favor of conservatives.
The news comes two years to the day after Biden, then struggling to capture the Democrat presidential nomination, first pledged in a South Carolina debate to nominate a Black woman to the high court if presented with a vacancy.
"Everyone should be represented," Biden said. "We talked about the Supreme Court — I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a Black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get everyone represented."
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin said in a statement that the panel will "begin immediately" to move forward on the nomination and that Jackson is an "extraordinary nominee." Senators have set a tentative goal of confirmation by April 8, when they leave for a two-week spring recess. Hearings could start as soon as mid-March.
That timeline could be complicated by a number of things, including the ongoing developments between Russia and Ukraine and the extended absence of Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., who suffered a stroke last month and is out for several weeks. Democrats would need Lujan's vote to confirm Biden's pick if no Republicans support her.
Once the nomination is sent to the Senate, it is up to the Senate Judiciary Committee to vet the nominee and hold confirmation hearings. After the committee approves a nomination, it goes to the Senate floor for a final vote.
The entire process passes through several time-consuming steps, including meetings with individual senators that are expected to begin next week. While Justice Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed just four weeks after she was nominated ahead of the 2020 election, the process usually takes several weeks longer than that.
Biden and Senate Democrats are hoping for a bipartisan vote on the nomination, but it's unclear if they will be able to win over any GOP senators after three bitterly partisan confirmation battles under President Donald Trump.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of three Republicans who voted to confirm Jackson to the appeals court last year, had pushed Biden to nominate a different candidate from his home state, Judge J. Michelle Childs. He said earlier this month that his vote would be "very problematic" if it were anyone else, and he expressed disappointment in a tweet Friday that Biden had not nominated his preferred choice.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said he looks forward to meeting with Jackson and "studying her record, legal views, and judicial philosophy." But he also appeared to express skepticism, noting he voted against her a year ago.
Jackson was on the president's shortlist as a potential nominee even before Breyer retired. Biden and his team spent weeks poring over her records, interviewing her friends and family, and looking into her background.
Biden has said he was interested in selecting a nominee in the mold of Breyer who could be a persuasive force with fellow justices. Although Breyer's votes tended to put him to the left of center on an increasingly conservative court, he frequently saw the gray in situations that colleagues were more likely to find black or white.
"With her exceptional qualifications and record of evenhandedness, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be a Justice who will uphold the Constitution and protect the rights of all Americans, including the voiceless and vulnerable," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.. "The historic nomination of Judge Jackson is an important step toward ensuring the Supreme Court reflects the nation as a whole."
As part of his search process, Biden, a longtime chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also interviewed Childs and California Supreme Court Judge Leondra Kruger, according to a person familiar with the matter. He also consulted with a wide range of legal experts and lawmakers in both parties and delved deeply into the finalists' legal writings before selecting Jackson for the post.
Jackson serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a position that Biden elevated her to last year from her previous job as a federal trial court judge. Three current justices — Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and John Roberts, the chief justice — previously served on the same court.
On Friday morning ahead of the announcement, Jackson took part in scheduled arguments before the circuit court.
Jackson was confirmed to that post on a 53-44 Senate vote, winning the backing of three Republicans: Graham, Maine's Susan Collins and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski.
Graham, in a tweet, indicated displeasure with the nomination, saying, "I expect a respectful but interesting hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee."
Bipartisanship is important to Biden, who has often said he was reaching for GOP support as he closed in on a nominee. Another GOP connection: Jackson is related by marriage to former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
In one of Jackson's most high-profile decisions, as a trial court judge, she ordered former White House Counsel Don McGahn to appear before Congress. That was a setback to Trump's efforts to keep his top aides from testifying. The case was appealed, and a deal was ultimately reached for McGahn’s testimony.
Another highly visible case that Jackson oversaw involved the online conspiracy theory "pizza gate," which revolved around false internet rumors about prominent Democrats harboring child sex slaves at a Washington pizza restaurant. A North Carolina man showed up at the restaurant with an assault rifle and a revolver. Jackson called it "sheer luck" no one was injured and sentenced him to four years in prison.
Jackson has a considerably shorter record as an appeals court judge. She was part of a three-judge panel that ruled in December against Trump’s effort to shield documents from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Jackson was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Miami. She has said that her parents, Johnny and Ellery Brown, chose her name to express their pride in her family’s African ancestry. They asked an aunt who was in the Peace Corps in Africa at the time to send a list of African girls’ names and they picked Ketanji Onyika, which they were told meant "lovely one."
Jackson traces her interest in the law to when she was in preschool and her father was in law school and they would sit together at the dining room table, she with coloring books and he with law books. Her father became an attorney for the county school board and her mom was a high school principal. She has a brother who is nine years younger who served in the Army, including in Iraq, and is now a lawyer.
Majority of Voters Say Putin Wouldn’t Have Invaded if Trump Were President, Biden’s First Year a “Failure”
BY RICK MORAN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
A new Harvard Center for American Political Studies-Harris Poll survey released Friday shows that a whopping 62% of voters say that Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were president.
The partisan breakdown is even more striking: 85% of Republicans think Putin wouldn’t have invaded if Trump had been president and 38% of Democrats also believed it. Just 38% of American voters believed Putin would still have invaded if Trump were president.
A majority of Americans polled — 59 percent — also said they believed that the Russian president moved on Ukraine because Putin saw weakness in President Biden, while 41 percent said that it was not a factor in Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.
Biden’s overall approval rating dropped to a new low of 38% in the Harris poll. And only 17% said they “strongly approve” of Biden’s performance.
“On the eve of his State of the Union, the president has hit a new low as inflation and economic anxiety hit new highs. The president is now underwater on every top domestic and foreign policy issue,” said Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey.
The same poll found that 64 percent of registered voters said Biden is “too lenient” with Russia, while 31 percent said he handles Russia “just right.” Five percent said he’s “too tough.”

The news is worse in the left-leaning Marist poll. Most Americans see Biden’s first year as a “failure.”
Majorities of Americans think Biden’s first year in office has been a failure (56%), he is not fulfilling campaign promises (54%), and he is doing more to divide the nation (52%) than to unite it. Americans are more than four times as likely to consider Biden’s first year to be a major failure (36%) than a major success (8%).
If that’s not bad enough news for Biden, he is failing catastrophically on lunch-pail issues.
Economic concerns hit close to home for Americans. 29% say their family finances have gotten worse in the last year. 23% say they have gotten better, and 48% say things are status quo.
On Tuesday, Joe Biden will speak to the country on the State of the Union. The universal pundit take is that he must “hit a home run” to save his presidency. That’s nonsense. The SOTU speech is only important to inside-the-beltway types and the national media.
What would be more effective for Biden would be to demonstrate that he’s a leader, not just a dismal echo of the far-left noise machine.
But that would take a kind of courage that the president has never shown in his nearly 50 years in politics.

Bombshell study finds more than 200,000 ballots from 2020 election with “mismatched signatures” indicating widespread fraud
BY J.D. HEYES
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
(Natural News) A newly published study reveals additional evidence that the 2020 presidential election in Arizona was stolen from President Donald Trump just like he and his campaign surrogates and attorneys have insisted now for more than a year.
The study, by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai of MIT, found more than 200,000 ballots from the election contained “mismatched signatures” and they were all counted in Maricopa County without being “cured” — that is, reviewed for accuracy and summarily fixed or rejected, as the law requires.
Liz Harrington, who handles communications for the former president, tweeted the results of the study.
“HUGE! In Arizona there were AT LEAST 229,430 early ballots with CLEARLY mismatched signatures In an election decided by 10,457 votes,” she wrote in a tweet that contained a short video of Ayyadurai explaining his findings.
HUGE!

“This analysis by Dr. Shiva is unimpeachable,” she continued with more examples, adding, “6 people — 3 forensic document examiners and 3 novices all agreed that 12 PERCENT of early mail-in ballots had mismatched signatures. Maricopa County only sent 1.3% for curing.

“As you can see, it’s called irreconcilable differences,” Ayyadurai says in his presentation.
“Over 200,000, mail ballots, with mismatched signatures counted without being reviewed, which means cured, and you’re going to understand what that terminology means in Maricopa, and this is the first study, to the best of our knowledge, to calculate signature matching rates, to provide a quantitative framework for assessing signature verification of mail ballots, the whole area of mail-in ballots obviously has become a very controversial area, it’s split up the country, there’s a lot of division,” he continued.
“You’re going to learn about signature verification, we’re going to go over the results that took place in the 2020 election in Maricopa with, how they verified signatures, what results they had, then we’re going to share with you two important experiments that we did, where we got novices, to do the same exercise of having side by side signatures, and then telling us whether the signatures matched or not from the same person,” the researcher said, adding that the purpose of the study was to “educate” election officials both in Arizona and around the country.
He also said that the results were being provided to the Arizona Senate as well as GOP Attorney General Mark Brnovich.
Ayyadurai explained that ballot curing is done by election workers who don’t have a lot of training and do not spend more than a few seconds attempting to match signatures, which is a problem in a large area when millions of ballot signatures have to be matched.
In the case of Arizona, as Harrington pointed out, some 12 percent of early mail-in ballots contained mismatched signatures, but in Maricopa County, the state’s largest population center, just 1.3 percent of ballots were sent to be cured.
That resulted in hundreds of thousands fewer ballots being sent for further review than should have been, and as the research demonstrates, there were plenty of very obviously mismatched signatures — way more than enough to overturn Arizona’s ‘election of Joe Biden’ for president.
Trump is right, again: What happened in 2020 was flat-out election theft.

Kyiv, UKRAINE Pastor Stays With His People Amid Bombing, Predicts a Soviet-Style Takeover of the Church
BY VICTORIA TAFT
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
On the day I spoke with Pastor Anatoly, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin had just announced to the world that he would “recognize” two large swaths of Ukraine, known as the Donbas region, that border Russia. Within hours of our interview, the shooting started in earnest. Now Russian soldiers are at Kyiv’s door. Not only is Putin an existential threat, but the pastor also says the dictator will take over the churches as he has done in Russia.
“I think Putin tried to find a way to escalate because … he doesn’t accept Ukraine as a country. And Ukraine must be destroyed completely, he told me. “[Putin believes] it must be returned to Russian Federation,” said of his home country. And he said the invasion was a “now or never” moment for Putin.
Pastor Anatoly Kaluzhny is staying in Kyiv to shepherd his flock who are understandably terrified. He knows he’s a target. He believes he could be taken prisoner. He fears the same fate for the Ukrainian church. His organization has planted “thousands” of churches in Ukraine and Russia.
“Ukraine has a very strong evangelical movement,” he told me on the phone when Facebook Messenger and Facebook’s WhatsApp wouldn’t work. “And during the last 30 years when we get independent, we plant many thousand churches in Ukraine. And also we plant thousands of churches in Russia. And our spiritual influence to Russia has been huge, big, and now we understand.” The bombs and shooting are real, but he now understands this war goes “much deeper.” I asked if Putin’s “now or never” moment was due to Western weakness. He said, “it is a spiritual battle.”

Pastor Anatoly says Putin’s secret police, the FSB, has taken over the Russian churches in a way that has become so familiar to Americans who observe how billionaire oligarchs take over elections, news outlets, and other essential cultural institutions. He floods them with rubles from his foundation.
“You know in Soviet time, KGB controlled the church,” Anatoly told me. “Now Russia, they have like the KGB. They call it FSB. They control each church. You can’t communicate with any Western organization. You cannot get any support and money from the West. They control everything.” If you control the church, you control thought and free expression. “They make special law a couple of years ago and that law was very bad for the church. And what they did I know for sure. Putin's foundation gives for Baptist Union one million rubles just to get them to be quiet. The same money he gave to Pentecostal Union.”
He fears the same will happen in Ukraine. Churches all over the world, especially in the United States, have supported Ukrainian Christians. If Putin takes over, one can imagine a law passed by a puppet duma to do what he’s done to the Russian churches.
It would be hard to imagine such an unanswered invasion occurring during the Trump years. As former White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany pointed out on Fox News on Tuesday after a Biden Administration deputy national security adviser said “this is the beginning of the latest Russian invasion of Ukraine” that Putin has “been doing this since 2014 [when he invaded the Crimean Peninsula].”
“Excuse me,” McEnany fumed. “There were four years when he didn’t do this, going back to 2014. That was when President Donald Trump was in power.”
“The real truth is this,” she continued, “there is no greater supporter of the Democrat Party than Vladimir Putin because he got Crimea on Barack Obama’s watch and now he’s getting exactly what he wants on Joe Biden’s watch.”
Her coup de grace was, “The bottom line is two embassies evacuated in one year of Biden. Two countries gone essentially in one year of Biden. That is all you need to know.”
And now this.
Anatoly said they are surrounded and need help. “Number one we need your prayer … We need help. Not little help, big help. We need protection.” He ended in prayer asking, “we don’t have enough power, but You have enough. You know how to stop Putin. You know how to protect your church. I prayer to fill your people with faith and hope and joy.”
There’s much more to the interview. I encourage you to listen.
Freedom of Religion on Trial in Finland~Will Finland bow down to the gods of fashion?
BY WILLIAM KILPATRICK
SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/02/freedom-religion-trial-finland-william-kilpatrick/;
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
William Kilpatrick is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. His books include Christianity, Islam, and Atheism: The Struggle for the Soul of the West (Ignatius Press), What Catholics Need to Know About Islam (Sophia Press), and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad.
Päivi Räsänen is a member of the Finnish Parliament, a former minister of the interior, a public speaker, and the mother of five grown children.
She faces a heavy fine and two years in prison for quoting the Bible. In response to the Evangelical Lutheran Church’s affiliation with the Helsinki LGBT Pride event, she posted the Bible passage from Romans 1: 24-27 which condemns homosexual behavior.
Finnish prosecutors stated that the use of the word “sin” could be harmful, and alleged that Ms. Räsänen’s comments were made to cause intolerance, contempt, and hatred toward homosexuals.
But couldn’t the prosecutor’s remarks cause intolerance, contempt, and hatred toward Ms. Räsänen? If criticizing another person’s beliefs or behavior is a hate crime, then isn’t she the victim of a hate crime?
The court prosecutors worried that the word “sin” could be harmful. One supposes they mean harmful to one’s self-esteem. And, indeed, the list of sins in Romans 1: 24-32 is meant to make you feel bad about yourself. From a Biblical perspective, acknowledgment of sin, followed by repentance, leads to salvation. In other words, feeling bad about your behavior is, in some cases, a good thing. It’s not only homosexual behavior that is condemned in Romans I. The extended passage condemns all manner of sins including idolatry, deceitfulness, envy, gossip, slander, and disobedience to parents.
From one point of view, this is highly offensive and insulting to those disposed to deceitfulness and slander. From another point of view, it can be looked upon as highly therapeutic—a moment of self-recognition that leads to change.
Prosecutors should have no difficulty understanding the concept. After all, they apply painful therapeutics as a matter of course. They hope that a heavy fine or a dose of prison will force the criminal to recognize his crimes and put himself on the road to rehabilitation.
Increasingly, however, prosecutors are prosecuting “thought crimes” rather than real crimes, and courts are using hurt feelings as a criterion for making decisions. Take the case of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, an Austrian woman who was found guilty of “inciting hatred” by an Austrian Court because of her assertion that the prophet Muhammad was a pedophile. In 2018, the ruling was upheld by the European Court of Human Rights which held that her right to freedom of expression was outweighed by “the right of others to have their religious feelings protected.” In short, feelings trumped facts, and the alleged pain caused to Muslims by the “slander” of their prophet became the deciding factor.
Interestingly, the case of Päivi Räsänen also involves “religious feelings”—her feeling or, rather, her conviction that Lutherans should be guided by the words of St. Paul rather than by the fashions of the day.
But although the feelings of Muslims still count for quite a bit in Europe, it seems likely that the Christian “feelings” of Ms. Räsänen will count for very little against the supposedly great pain homosexuals feel when they read the words of St. Paul in Romans. The Finns will probably be hearing a great deal in the near future about the harm that Christianity causes to homosexuals, transgenders, and other favored sexual minorities.
So, just as Muslims must be protected from Islamophobia, homosexuals must be protected from homophobia. Whether or not the free speech rights of Christians get trampled in the process doesn’t seem to matter much to European elites.
But if the rights of homosexuals clash with the rights of Muslims, what happens then?
Well, if you understand how the hierarchy of feelings is structured, you’ll quickly realize that—all things being equal—Muslim feelings will prevail. For example, a Birmingham, England primary school stopped lessons normalizing same-sex relationships when hundreds of Muslim parents protested.
This is in contrast to the attitude of schools in the UK toward non-Muslim parents. Such parents can expect to be ignored completely when they complain about sex-ed. It’s not that the Muslim protests were threatening: they weren’t. It’s just that the Muslim population of Birmingham is thirty percent and rising. And if you’re given the choice of offending the city’s gay population or its Muslim population, you’ll probably choose to do the former.
Meanwhile, in Helsinki, the top priority is criminalizing Saint Paul’s “offensive” letter to the Romans. But if the Finns had looked over their border to the rest of the Continent, they might have noticed that homosexuals in Europe worry very little about St. Paul and very much about the growing number of Muslim gangs in cities and suburbs.
In Brussels according to Bianca Debaets, the former Belgian Secretary of State, “there are too many areas where it is difficult for women and homosexuals to walk.” That may be because the Muslim percentage of the population of Brussels is now between 25-30 %. Perhaps, you may think, homosexuals in Brussels should consider moving to close-by Amsterdam which has traditionally been a haven for gays. But the Muslim population of Amsterdam has also been growing, and as Amsterdam becomes more like the real Mecca, it is no longer the Mecca for gays that it once was. As a result, many gays have moved out.
In short, while European elites claim to be fighting homophobia, they are doing little to resist the gradual takeover of Europe by the most homophobic culture on the planet. A similar contradiction can be found in the attitude of European officials toward anti-Semitism. On the one hand, they tell us it’s a very bad thing. On the other hand, they welcome waves of immigrants from cultures that are steeped in anti-Semitism.
These schizoid policies suggest that European leaders are seriously confused. Indeed, many of the Western experts and authorities that we once relied on for guidance are now in the grip of deep delusions about obvious realities. I refer to politicians, teachers, health professionals, and media commentators who insist that men can become pregnant, that women can become men, and that a union between two men is no different than a marriage between a man and a woman.
It's ironic that some of these gullible types in Helsinki are now in a position to criminalize a passage in the Bible. It’s ironic because the chapter from Romans that most offends them not only criticizes idolatry and homosexuality, it also criticizes the foolish thinking of the time which passed for wisdom among the elites.
But what Paul said about the supposed wise men of his day applies even more fittingly to the supposed wise men of our own age. Here’s a sample:
So they are without excuse, for although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools…(Rom 1:20-22).
You can see why the authorities want to cancel Paul. The fashionable ideas they want people to bow down before are just as foolish as the once-fashionable idea of worshipping birds and reptiles. Yet, for opposing the present foolishness, Päivi Räsänen now faces prison time.
MARCO Rubio reports full Russian invasion of Ukraine underway: ‘This is it, unfortunately’~How the Ukraine Conflict Is Designed to Benefit Globalists
Order Out of Chaos: How the Ukraine Conflict Is Designed to Benefit Globalists
BY AMERICAN FAITH
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
(Alt Market) Within the next couple of months, it is likely that there will be direct US military involvement in Ukraine, with Russia now openly supporting and recognizing separatist groups in the Donbass region on the eastern edge of the country and apparently moving to aid them militarily in separation. This is not the first time Russia has sent military units into Ukraine, but it is the first time since 2014 and the annexation of Crimea that the threat of military action has been overt rather than covert.
When conflict erupts, you are going to see a swarm of media stories in western nations trying to outline the complexity of the relationship between Russia and Ukraine since the fall of the Soviet Union, while ignoring certain inconvenient truths. You will see many of these stories construct a narrative which then oversimplifies the situation and paints Russia as the monstrous aggressor. The goal will be to convince the public that our involvement in Ukraine is a moral and geopolitical necessity. There will be attempts to gain American favor and a call for US boots on the ground. Joe Biden will be at the forefront of this push.
The surface trigger for the confrontation is obviously rooted in the 2009 decision by western powers and Ukrainian officials to consider the country for membership in NATO. Most of Russia’s actions when dealing with Ukraine can be owed to NATO involvement in the region, including the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014. Strategically, it makes sense. Imagine if Mexico suddenly announced it was joining a military alliance with China and that Chinese military assets were going to be transferred near the US southern border? It probably would not end well.
To be sure, Russia has a history of hypocritical behavior when it comes to its involvement in the affairs of its neighbors. For example, only a few months ago Kazakhstan was facing mass protests which the government claimed were caused by “foreign manipulation.” Zero proof was presented to justify this assertion. However, the claim was enough to rationalize the deployment of 2300 Russian troops over the border to shut down the protests.
In reality, citizens of Kazakhstan were angry over a spike in inflation and high gas prices which continue to grind down the middle class and those in poverty (sound familiar?). In 2019, only 4% of the population lived under the official poverty line. In 2020, that number exploded to 14% of the population. Accurate numbers are difficult to find for 2021, but it is likely that poverty levels are now closer to 16%-20%. The reasons for civil unrest were obvious and justified, but the protesting Kazakhs were accused of being pawns of foreign enemies. As I have noted in many articles lately, this is a typical strategy of corrupt governments trying to retain power when the people rise up and rebel for legitimate reasons.
Again, imagine if the Canadian government under Trudeau asked for US military assistance in scattering the trucker protests against his draconian vaccine mandates? We need to look at these decisions in context in order to grasp how insane they really are.
Ironically, Russia is happy to support the unrest of separatists in Ukraine while also helping to silence unrest in Kazakhstan. Keep this pattern in mind because it will help in understanding how events surrounding Russia reflect a global trend that might affect Americans in the future.
The diplomatic mess between Ukraine and Russia can be blamed in part on both sides, and it’s this kind of historical ambiguity where globalists tend to thrive. The fog of war helps to obscure establishment activities and often it is hard for people to see who is truly benefiting from the chaos until it’s too late. It is my belief that the Ukraine problem is at least partially engineered and that it is designed as the first domino in a chain of intended crises.
I don’t think there is anything unique to the Ukraine conflict for the globalists; they could have just as easily tried to initiate a regional war in Taiwan, North Korea, Iran, etc. There are numerous powder keg countries that they have been cultivating for a couple of decades. We should not hyperfocus on who is to blame between Ukraine or Russia, we should focus on the effects that will result from any major regional disaster and how the globalists exploit such catastrophes to further the agenda of total centralization of power.
The Ukraine scenario could be easily defused if both sides took some basic diplomatic measures, but this is not going to happen. NATO officials could take a step back from their pursuit of adding Ukraine to the ranks. The US could stop pouring cash and weaponry into Ukraine to the tune of $5.4 billion since 2014. Over 90 tons of military equipment has been sent to the country in 2022 alone. Russia could stop sending covert special operations units into the Donbass and be more willing to come to the table to discuss diplomatic solutions. The reason these things do not happen is because they are not allowed to happen by the power brokers behind the curtain.
We are all aware of the globalist influences behind US and NATO leaders, we present undeniable evidence of this on a regular basis. Biden’s penchant for globalist institutions is well known. But what about Russia?
There are some in the alternative media and the liberty movement who falsely believe that Russia is anti-globalist – Nothing could be further from the truth. As with many political leaders, Putin will sometimes use anti-globalist rhetoric, but his relationships tell another story. In Putin’s first autobiography, titled ‘First Person’, he discusses with fondness his first encounter with New World Order globalist Henry Kissinger as a member of the FSB (formerly the KGB). As Putin rose through the political ranks he maintained a steady friendship with Kissinger and to this day they have regular lunches and Kissinger has been an adviser to multiple branches of the Kremlin.
It doesn’t stop there, though. Putin and the Kremlin have also kept a steady dialogue with the World Economic Forum, the project of the now notorious globalist Klaus Schwab. In fact, only last year Russia announced it was joining the WEF’s “Fourth Industrial Revolution Network” which focuses on economic socialization, Artificial Intelligence, the “internet of things” and a host of other globalist interests which will all lead to worldwide technocracy and tyranny.
Again, the Russian government is NOT anti-globalist. This claim is nonsense and always has been. I would attribute the fantasy of Russian opposition to a steady stream of propaganda and what I call the False East/West Paradigm – The fraudulent notion that the globalist agenda is a purely Western or American agenda and that countries like China and Russia are opposed to it. If you look at the close interactions between the east and the globalists, this idea completely falls apart.
It’s important to understand that most conflicts between the East and the West are engineered conflicts and the leaders of BOTH SIDES are not really at odds with each other. Rather, these wars are Kabuki Theater; they are wars of convenience to achieve covert ends while mesmerizing the masses with moments of terror and calamity. For anyone who has doubts about this, I highly recommend they read the thoroughly researched and evidenced works of professional historian and economist Antony Sutton, who quite accidentally stumbled onto the facts surrounding the globalist conspiracy and went on to expose their habit of playing both sides of nearly every war over the past century from the Bolshevik Revolution to WWII and onward.
The strategy of order out of chaos is nothing new, it’s something the globalists have been doing for a very long time. The number of open revelations post-Covid about the ‘Great Reset’ that globalists have publicly admitted to is so staggering that their plans can no longer be denied. Any skeptics at this point should be suspected of having a single-digit IQ.
So, now that we have established the reality of globalist involvement in both the West and in Russia, we need to ask ourselves how they benefit from initiating a crisis between these powers over Ukraine? What do they get out of it?
As I have noted in recent articles, it appears to me that Ukraine is a Plan B attempt to conjure more smoke and mirrors where the covid pandemic failed to satisfy the Great Reset plan. As Klaus Schwab and the WEF have constantly asserted, they saw the pandemic as the perfect “opportunity” to force the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the world. As globalist Rahm Emanual once opined in the wake of the 2008 economic crash:
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
The WEF is an old hand at this tactic. Klaus Schwab also used the same exact language right after the credit crash of 2008 as he has used after the spread of covid, always trying to sell global governance as the solution to every disaster:
“What we are experiencing is the birth of a new era, a wake-up call to overhaul our institutions, our systems and, above all, our thinking, and to adjust our attitudes and values to the needs of a world which rightly expects a much higher degree of responsibility and accountability,” he explained. “If we recognize this crisis as being really transformational, we can lay the fundaments for a more stable, more sustainable and even more prosperous world.”
– Klaus Schwab on the Global Redesign Initiative, 2009
Schwab jumped the gun back then just as he jumped the gun in 2020 when he declared the Great Reset an inevitability in the face of covid. The globalists must have expected a much higher death rate from the virus because they were practically dancing in the streets, elated over the amount of power they could steal in the name of “protecting the public from a global health threat.” If you look at the WEF and Gates Foundation simulation of a covid pandemic, Event 201 which was held only two months before the REAL THING happened, they clearly expected covid to do way more damage, predicting an initial death tally of 65 million. This never happened; it isn’t even close.
It’s hard to say why an obvious bioweapon like covid failed to do the job. Viruses tend to mutate rapidly in the wild and behave differently than they do in a lab setting. I would even consider the possibility of divine intervention. Whatever the reason, the globalists did not get what they wanted and now they need yet another crisis to oil the gears of the Reset machine. With the already tiny death rate of covid now dropping even further with the Omicron variant and half the states of the US in full defiance of the vax mandates it is only a matter of time before the rest of the world asks why they are still under medical authoritarianism?
War in Ukraine and the mere threat of that war expanding beyond the region could accomplish a number of things covid has not. It provides an ongoing cover for the stagflationary collapse which is now in full swing in the US, the supply chain problems that continue globally as well as the destabilization of the European economy. In particular, the EU is strongly reliant on Russian natural gas in order to heat homes and maintain its economy. Russia has strangled natural gas supplies to Europe in the past and they will do it again. Russian oil exports also fill demand gaps globally, and these exports will be strangled by sanctions or by the Kremlin deliberately cutting supplies to certain nations.
War is always a distraction from economic sabotage. Even though the seeds of financial crashes are often planted and watered well in advance by central banks, the banks never get the blame because international conflicts conveniently take center stage. By extension, economic crisis causes mass poverty, mass desperation, and mass hysteria, and globalists will say that these dangers require an international solution that they will happily provide in the form of centralization.
In the US and in many other western nations which have a large number of people still defending individual freedom, the globalists clearly want to use tensions with Russia as a means to silence public dissent over authoritarian policies. Already I am seeing numerous instances of establishment officials and leftists on social media suggesting that liberty activists are “pawns of the Russians” and that we are being used to “divide and conquer.” This is nonsense backed by nothing, but they are trying out the narrative anyway to see if it sticks.
I have no doubt that any rebellion in the US against the globalists will be blamed on foreign interference. As mentioned earlier, the last thing the elites want is movements of free people obstructing the Reset in the name of liberty. We witnessed this in Canada where Trudeau announced unilateral emergency powers against the trucker protests, giving himself totalitarian levels of control. Even the Russian government has intervened in such public actions to prevent any kind of activist momentum. Biden will try to do the same thing, and war, even a smaller regional war, gives him a rationale to oppress dissent in the name of public security.
Interestingly, martial law in the US is also much easier to legally and historically justify for the government as long as it is done in response to the invasion of a foreign enemy. The Russian influence narrative may very well be in preparation for martial law within America. Whether or not this actually succeeds is another matter.
The consequences of a shooting event in Ukraine will be far-reaching well beyond a distraction for the American public; my intent here is not to suggest only Americans will be affected. My point is that there are certain places in the world that are naturally resistant to the globalist scheme, and freedom-minded Americans are a primary obstacle. If there is a large-scale rebellion against the Great Reset, it’s going to start here. The globalists know this as well, which is why the US will undoubtedly be centrally involved in the Ukraine quagmire.
While the event would be disastrous for Ukrainians and probably many Russians, there are deeper and more dangerous underlying threats intended for the US, and war in Ukraine acts as an effective scapegoat for many of them.
Rep. Cammack Calls Out Facebook For Facilitating Child Trafficking and Illegal Border Crossings
Representative Kat Cammack (R-Fl.) discusses with The New American an array of key topics that the mainstream media is not covering, from a recent Democrat bill that facilitates Communist China while claiming to do the opposite to the continued hypocrisy by progressives wanting to defund the police and the U.S. Border Patrol while simultaneity justifying private armed security to protect themselves. In the second half of her interview, Rep. Cammack explains her call for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. She also discusses her letter to Facebook/Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook’s role in enabling illegal human trafficking at the Southern border. Rep. Cammack shares details about how Facebook’s Market Place continues to be used as a platform to advertise and organize illegal border crossings into the U.S. from Mexico, with very little to no action from Facebook to stop the postings. 🇺🇸 The New American: http://www.thenewamerican.com/

RINO statewide Chairman of the group had distorted by-laws to expel women who voiced outrage.
Another example of the GOP establishment’s embrace of LGBT radicalism – and the need to fight back.
February 24, 2022
Gina Roberts is a busy man. Besides being the "female" president of a GOP women's group, he was vice-president of the state-wide homosexual group Log Cabin Republicans of California.
One of the biggest divides between conservative Republicans and the establishment RINOs (who run the Party) is over the radical LGBT agenda.
The situation has worsened recently. As we’ve reported (here, here, and here), for years the LGBT movement has dominated CPAC (the so-called Conservative Political Action Conference), where Republican leaders annually go to pontificate. Last year, the Republican National Committee and President Trump formally announced their “Pride Coalition” to fully integrate the LGBT movement into the Republican Party. In November, twenty-one Republican Congressmen co-sponsored the so-called “Fairness Act” which would have embedded the radical LGBT demands in federal law. It’s not just the national GOP. Last year, every Republican State Representative in Massachusetts but one signed a statement that religious beliefs against homosexual behavior are “inappropriate and disturbing” and have no place in the Republican Party.
But at a certain point, the rank and file need to step up and draw the line.
In November 2020, a MassResistance activist in southern California contacted Arthur Schaper, our Organization Director (who lives in the area). She was very upset because the Escondido chapter of the California Federation of Republican Women had just elected a cross-dressing “transgender” man as its next president. She could not believe this was happening! She begged MassResistance to get involved and help overturn this.
Gina Roberts was sworn in as president of the CFRW Escondido chapter by "conservative" Congressman Darrell Issa, as the other RINOS in the group looked on.
Background: California Federation of Republican Women
The California Federation of Republican Women (CFRW) was founded in 1925 to give women a voice in politics and governance at the local, state, and national levels. Women tended to vote Republican after receiving the franchise in 1920 (and in some states, before the 19th Amendment had passed). This was because it was Republicans who had pressed for them to get the vote. The National Federation of Republican Women was formed in 1938. So the institution has a long history. California’s chapter is still one of the largest in the country, having numerous local units throughout the state.
According to the organization’s by-laws, men can only join as associate members. They cannot vote and they cannot become officers of the club.
Cross-dressing man identifies as a Republican “woman”
The man who was elected to be the Escondido chapter president calls himself “Gina” Roberts. He had already been making a name for “herself” by pushing the transgender agenda into the California Republican Party as a “Log Cabin Republican” member, and by getting elected to various local town boards. He received glowing press from the leftist media.
The leftist media ate it up!
Not surprisingly, a few months after his election, the national CPAC convention (in March 2021) welcomed Roberts (along with well-known “gay” Republican Ric Grenell) with open arms.
Gina's tweet from CPAC.
MassResistance gets to work!
MassResistance was determined to help California’s Republican women halt this insanity.
Arthur began contacting other CFRW units throughout the state. Many of these women are dedicated MassResistance supporters and activists in pro-family battles across California.
Members of the South Bay CFRW group in San Diego filed official letters with their state leadership. Other members informed their club leaders that they would leave the organization if the state and national leaders did not rectify this situation.
CFRW state leaders: In the “trans” tank
Arthur contacted the leaders of the Escondido group to find out why they would allow this. Shockingly, previous club leaders and officers at the time engaged in non-stop gaslighting: “She is a woman. We did elect a woman to be our President,” they told Arthur. Their denial of reality was truly disturbing.
The leadership in some local units, as well as in the state organization, sounded off with the usual excuses: “We have our orders. We cannot do anything about it. We will get sued if we try to prevent him from becoming a member as a woman,” they said.
The CFRW state leadership was particularly adamant that Gina Roberts should continue to lead the Escondido group.
It's not just the CFRW leadership. This is supported by the state GOP. Here is Gina with California State GOP Chairman Jessica Patterson. (Apparently, Patterson has succumbed to the "transgender mass formation psychosis" that's going around.)
But across the country: More outrage!
Arthur reached out to Federation of Republican Women chapters across the country as well, urging them to pressure the National Federation leaders to do something to stop this. The Montana and Idaho chapters, and to some extent Virginia's, were supportive. The Texas chapter was the best. One Texas RFW group reacted to MassResistance’s call by changing their by-laws to include only “biological” women! The national office, however, was not interested in getting involved.
The California backlash grows
As word got out, more and more Republican women became angry. As an American Thinker article noted:
Immediately, MassResistance activists in the club, as well as surrounding CFRW clubs, started sharing and protesting how the organization’s leadership had rejected its own bylaws. They and others wondered why they should elect Republicans with an eye to smaller government, lower taxes, strong military, right-to-life, pro-Second Amendment, adherence to the U.S. Constitution, and all the other GOP talking points if the Republicans are going to vote and act like Democrats?
A MassResistance activist in Orange County who was a local CFRW member was furious. She began an email campaign, writing to other CFRW members across the state. She sounded the alarm that men were taking over women’s Republican positions. And she castigated the “woke agenda” taking over the California Republican Party.
October 2021: The state CFRW convention
In October 2021, during the statewide CFRW convention, the Orange County MassResistance activist and several others spoke out and even attempted to introduce an emergency amendment. But the leadership took extraordinary steps to silence them. As American Thinker reported:
Some members at the organization’s October 2021 convention in Rancho Mirage pushed back against the CFRW executive board’s unilateral decision that “woman” should be based on identity rather than biology. To that end, they attempted to bring an emergency bylaw amendment to the floor.
Yet each time someone came to the microphone, leadership cut off the mic and angrily told the member that she was out of order. Finally, one woman walked away from the turned-off microphone and yelled into the cavernous conference room about what was happening.
Some members were learning about this issue for the first time. Others had known but thought they were the only ones who felt it was wrong. A few had complained to the executive board and were called transphobic.
Several were annoyed that “conservative” Congressman Darrell Issa went along with the woke parade. “Republicans like Issa are exactly what is wrong with the Republican Party,” claimed one frustrated member adding, “Why should I volunteer my time to elect woke Republicans?”
Two CA chapters leave the organization
All of this only ignited more outrage across the state. Soon after the October convention, the East Valley and San Clemente CFRW chapters – including over two thousand members – voted to break away from their parent organization. (East Valley CFRW is now East Valley Republican Patriots. San Clemente Area CFRW is now East Valley Area Republican Women.) Reportedly, there were several issues roiling those groups, but the transgender issue was the final straw!
Retribution against conservative member!
In retaliation for this MassResistance activist’s efforts to expose the flagrant violation of the organization’s by-laws, Janet Price, the state CWFR president, wrote a letter to the woman’s local chapter, stating that she could no longer be a member of the CWFR local club or of the federated groups as a whole!
Price concocted a series of Orwellian arguments, asserting violations of various bylaws: (1) not “cooperating with the California Republican Party”; (2) “working against the goals of CFRW” and the national group; and (3) violating an ethical ban not to “speak disparagingly in public of any Republican or candidate.” (This absurd ban would keep a member running in a GOP primary from speaking critically of her opponent.)
A few weeks later, her chapter formally kicked her out and sent her a check refunding her dues.
Of course, this only inflamed the situation even more. She continued to write extensively about this, and more CFRW members became angry at their RINO leadership.
Gina Roberts resigns!
These efforts, along with the ongoing reports and complaints from other chapters around the state, clearly made an impact. On February 7, 2022, Gina Roberts finally resigned from the Escondido CFRW chapter. The official reason given for his resignation (as told to us by one of the Escondido officers) was an employment commitment.
Final thoughts
Republican activists across California are grateful to MassResistance for taking on this battle.
Many Republican women were extremely upset when they heard about this ridiculous, unnatural, and lunatic situation. But they felt alone and feared retribution by the often vicious RINO establishment. (It’s a common tactic among totalitarians of all stripes. The “cancel culture” also in exists in the leftist GOP.)
MassResistance made it safe for them to speak their minds – and demand a stop to this outrageous and degrading situation. This may seem to have been a small battle in the larger scheme of things, but it represents something much bigger!
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!
Our successes depend on people like you.
Your support will make the difference!

Fox News Correspondent Caves to Woke Gender Theology and Uses Preferred Pronouns of Convicted Child Molester
BY MEGAN FOX
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
Has Bill Melugin at Fox News has lost his marbles? While reporting on a gruesome story in which child rapist James Tubbs (who calls himself “Hannah”) has been caught on tape bragging about the light sentence he got after sexually assaulting a ten-year-old in a bathroom, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin went out of his way to call Tubbs “she” and “her” multiple times on America’s Newsroom. It’s not only wrong but confusing to the audience. Why would Fox News join the woke gender bullies who demand that everyone gets their preferred pronouns no matter what our eyes tell us or despite whatever heinous crime they’ve committed?
Seriously, WHY @BillFOXLA ??? pic.twitter.com/cQSUMZwFec
— No, not THAT Megan Fox 🦊 (@MeganFoxWriter) February 22, 2022
Strangely, Melugin did not call Tubbs “she” and “her” on Tucker Carlson’s show, seeming to know the audience wouldn’t appreciate calling the convicted child rapist “she.” So what’s the story? Is Melugin required to use the preferred pronouns of psychopaths, or is it a personal choice?
Live w/ @TuckerCarlson tonight discussing in-custody calls I obtained from transgender child molester Hannah Tubbs, who boasts about the light sentence he received after DA George Gascon refused to prosecute Tubbs as an adult, and makes crude, sexual comments about 10 y/o victim. pic.twitter.com/LUsTuW7HXc
— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) February 22, 2022
Don’t audiences have to put up with enough gaslighting from every other news network? How does Melugin justify showing a photo of a biological male predator and telling the audience he’s a she? Melugin isn’t responding to my inquiries.
@BillFOXLA I'm writing about your coverage and I would like to know why you chose to call Tubbs "she" and "her" pronouns. Why she/her? That's a dude and a child rapist. Why are you catering to his demands? Please respond.
— No, not THAT Megan Fox 🦊 (@MeganFoxWriter) February 22, 2022
As for the story, it’s a terrible one and should illustrate why these woke gender demands should never be indulged. Here’s a man who raped a child, and after he was arrested he claimed to be female, thus giving him access to a female juvenile detention center that housed underaged girls who are his preferred victims. And Los Angeles’ stupid woke laws allowed this to happen. Even the far left-wing prosecutor, George Gascón, admits he got played by a scammer. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Gascón considered the possibility that Tubbs faked being transgendered. (But it should be noted that the Times still refers to Tubbs as “she.”)
In an interview Monday afternoon, Gascón said he first learned of the recordings Thursday through an email from a Fox News journalist. He described himself as “very, very upset” and disgusted with Tubbs, who he said had taken advantage of his office, by among other things, potentially identifying as transgender in a bid to get more lenient treatment.
Giving Tubbs anything he desires is the wrong move. Justice starts with refusing to call him by female pronouns. Perhaps if more people refused to play these games, Tubbs would not have been able to manipulate the system to such an extent that he is now going to be free without even having to register on the sex offender registry.
Related: WATCH: Matt Walsh Destroys Woke Gender Narrative With One Simple Question
The tapes that Melugin uncovered are a good find and forced the prosecutor to admit that he made a big mistake. At one point in the taped conversation, Tubbs calls his victim a piece of meat. “I was young, and I was hungry for some meat.” Tubbs showed no remorse for his actions and mocked the system that didn’t punish him.
Transcripts from the call show Tubbs laughing at the justice system.
“I’m gonna plead out to it, plead guilty,” Tubbs says in one recording. “They’re gonna stick me on probation, and it’s gonna be dropped, it’s gonna be done, I won’t have to register, won’t have to do nothing.”
“You won’t have to register?” her father asks on the other line later in the conversation.
“I won’t have to do none of that,” Tubbs replies.
“So what are they going to do to you then?”
“Nothing,” Tubbs answers, then laughs.
Gascón also says he’s rescinding his policy of never prosecuting minors as adults due to the outrage this case caused. “It’s unfortunate that she [sic] gamed the system,” Gascón said. “If I had to do it all over again, she [sic] would be prosecuted in adult court.”
The victim spoke out about what she suffered. “The things he did to me and made me do that day was beyond horrible for a ten-year-old girl to have to go through,” she said. “I want him tried as an adult for the crimes he committed against me.”
Even after telling the media that referring to her rapist as a woman hurts her, the media and those in authority still continue to do it, silencing the actual woman who was harmed. “I’ve also heard that my attacker goes by she/them pronouns now,” she added. “I see it also unfair to try him as a woman as well, seeing how he clearly didn’t act like one on January 1st of 2014.”
It is unfair and unjust and a total whitewashing of the truth. This is not someone like Caitlyn Jenner, a law-abiding transwoman whose pronouns are a matter of politeness for most people. This is a child predator who has made a mockery out of the desire of well-meaning people to be accepting of trans-identifying people. This man has used the transgender blindspot in our culture to abuse a child and then get a lighter sentence by claiming an identity that is false.
Why are Bill Melugin and Fox News enabling him? Accepting that any man can claim womanhood puts women and girls in danger. Viewers of Fox News should start emailing and contacting Melugin to ask him to stop enabling kiddie molesters like James Tubbs and tell the truth instead.
This is not a woman. Period. pic.twitter.com/7wvx0BbCVV

C.D.C. Lowers Speech Standards for Children
BY THE EPOCH TIMES
SEE: https://americanfaith.com/cdc-lowers-speech-standards-for-children/;
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has lowered its standards of childhood speech development, a decision that has many people worried about the way milestones are measured in kids.
CDC added two new child development milestones at 15 and 30 months. Earlier, children aged 24 months were expected to know about 50 words. But in the new update, the CDC raised the time period to 30 months, lowering the established standard of speech development. In the update, the CDC linked to research published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) that influenced the organization in setting up the modified benchmarks.
“Application of the criteria established by the AAP working group and adding milestones for the 15- and 30-month health supervision visits resulted in a 26.4 percent reduction and 40.9 percent replacement of previous CDC milestones,” reads an abstract of the AAP study, published on Feb. 8.
“One-third of the retained milestones were transferred to different ages; 67.7 percent of those transferred were moved to older ages.”
The AAP, based on recommendations from the CDC, convened experts and revised child developmental checklists. The original milestone followed standards that only 50 percent of children were expected to achieve, the organization said. These guidelines were deemed unhelpful to families who were worried about their kids’ development.
Milestones were updated to ensure that at least 75 percent of kids are able to achieve them, according to Jennifer Zubler, an author of the study. Because many children were unable to achieve the previous milestones, it was decided to establish new, lower milestones.
Literacy advocate Karen Vaites points out that, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, children speaking fewer than 50 words by 24 months is still a worrisome situation. She had previously spoken against forcing kids to wear face masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the negative effects that the masks have on speech and learning.
“Masks impede language development, and they also impede the process of kids learning how to read,” Vaites said in a Jan. 18 tweet. In another Twitter thread from late July, she shared her experience of observing a kindergarten room during a reading class; in the thread, she insisted on the importance of children seeing the movement of a teacher’s mouth and vice versa.
In some situations, parents and clinicians choose a wait-and-see approach regarding children’s development, which ends up delaying diagnosis.
“The earlier a child is identified with a developmental delay the better, as treatment as well as learning interventions can begin,” Paul Lipkin, a member of the AAP Section on Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and Council on Children with Disabilities, said in a statement. “At the same time, we don’t want to cause unnecessary confusion for families or professionals. Revising the guidelines with expertise and data from clinicians in the field accomplishes these goals.”
Lea Themea, who has practiced speech pathology for close to three decades, believes that the CDC guidelines have been updated to better clarify what parents should look for as developmental progress in their kids.
“I think these guidelines look at how the language is used because you could have a 2-year-old that can label all their colors and count to 10, but they’re not saying them to actually communicate,” she told ABC6.
Dr. Nicole Saphier, a Fox News medical contributor, drew parallels between the CDC quietly lowering speech standards to an incident from last summer when the AAP began “deleting stuff” from its website about the importance of facial recognition in childhood development while also pushing masks on children.
Saphier insisted that face masks were “negatively impacting children” and cited studies conducted in the UK, United States, and the Netherlands to point out that kids during the pandemic are performing poorly on “gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and overall communication.”
Trudeau makes protests for whites illegal while exempting refugees, immigrants, ethnic minorities

(Natural News) Not only is China-loving Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a dictator wannabe, but he’s also a self-loathing anti-white racist, as evidenced by details buried in his evoking the Emergencies Act earlier this week to crush the “Freedom Convoy” protest.
The Canadian government’s Emergency Measures Regulations: SOR/2022-21 order bans people from taking part “in a public assembly that may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of the peace.”
However, the law does not apply to “any person in a class of persons whose presence in Canada, as determined by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration or the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, is in the national interest.”
The ‘exempted class’ includes refugees, immigrants, those seeking asylum, Indians, and others who are “protected temporary residents.”
The vast majority of Canadian citizens are white, however, so these rules do not apply to them: They are still required to check their liberties and freedoms with Trudeau, who has given them his ‘thumbs down.’
That said, some are openly questioning if Trudeau’s order really does just apply to white people.
“Why are members of First Nations, refugees, and temporary residents exempted from the prohibition to ‘participate in a public assembly that may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of the peace’ as part of the Emergencies Act regulations?” People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier tweeted.

“It appears as though the Canadian government views native Canadians as second-class citizens who should have fewer rights than foreigners,” Summit News’ Paul Joseph Watson wrote, adding: “How can such brazen discrimination based on skin color and nationality be in any way legal?”
Answer: When Trudeau declares it ‘legal,’ apparently.
The prime minister’s authoritarian ways have come increasingly under fire by Canadian civil liberties groups, clergy, and opposition lawmakers as his government continues its crackdown on “Freedom Convoy” truckers protesting his insane COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
“The rainy streets of Toronto, Canada’s largest city, are eerily quiet, with police cruisers blocking intersections and helicopters circling overhead. This does not feel like the safe and stable country I grew up in,” former Canadian Broadcasting Corporation producer, writer, and podcaster Tara Henley noted in a column for The Daily Mail this week.
“On Monday, the Prime Minister invoked the Emergencies Act, which became law in 1988 and has never been used – and it is not yet clear what he’ll do with these powers,” she continued, adding that Trudeau’s action “has poured gasoline on what was already a raging fire.”
“I fear that Canadians are headed for the sort of volatile, drawn-out, intractable conflict that tears societies apart,” Henley continued, adding a comparison to the U.S.: “The same type of ‘take no prisoners,’ merciless discourse that has transformed America into an endless political battlefield, where opponents can never agree and seemingly nothing is ever resolved.”
She also noted that invoking the Emergencies Act is “widely” known among Canadians as being a “nuclear option” and was last invoked by Trudeau’s father, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, in 1970, when it was then known as the War Measures Act.
Noa Mendelsohn Aviv, executive director of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, does not believe Trudeau has met the standard for invoking the authority.
“We should not be normalizing the use of emergency acts to deal with localized, specific challenges that can be addressed through law,” she told Henley.
The Canadian House of Commons also erupted this week after Trudeau replied to a Jewish member of Parliament by accusing members of the opposition Conservative Party of “standing with people who wave swastikas.”
Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman first quoted Trudeau from a 2015 speech, saying, “If Canadians are going to trust their government, their government needs to trust Canadians,” then questioned why the PM characterized members of the Freedom Convoy as “very often misogynistic, racist, women-haters, science-deniers, the fringe.”
After accusing him of fanning “the flames of an unjustified national emergency,” Lantsman, the first Jewish woman to be elected as a Conservative MP last October, demanded to know — “When did the prime minister lose his way?”
“Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas, they can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag,” Trudeau said in response. “We will choose to stand with Canadians who deserve to be able to get to their jobs, to be able to get their lives back. These illegal protests need to stop, and they will.”
That led to outrage from other members of Parliament, as Fox News reported:
The other side of the chamber erupted in response, prompting Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Rota to interrupt in an attempt to restore order. He also admonished all — “including the Right Honourable prime minister” — to avoid “inflammatory” language in the House.
Canada is collapsing into a police state, and the country’s citizens are understandably getting more concerned.

DR. STEVE TURLEY REPORTS
CANADA HAS FALLEN: The once-free nation is now under UN occupation and globalist control, with no mechanism remaining for peaceful return to democracy
BY MIKE ADAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
(Natural News) It now appears that the nation of Canada has fallen. The once-free country is now under UN occupation and globalist control, with no remaining mechanism for the restoration of democracy. Trudeau and his Nazi deputy Freeland have declared that no one can speak against the government, or they will be hunted by police and prosecuted under some sort of emergency powers. In doing this, Trudeau and Freeland have taken peaceful resolutions off the table and seem to be trying to invoke violence across the nation.
Canada’s leaders no longer answer to the people of Canada. Instead, they answer to criminal-minded globalists who seek the total destruction of both Canada and the United States. As you can see from the video below, World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab is openly bragging about being the puppetmaster behind Trudeau, Macron, Merkel, Freeland, Jacinda Ardern, and many other so-called world “leaders.”
They are all puppets to a globalist, anti-human agenda that seeks to enslave humankind. Importantly, their loyalties are not with the nations they claim to be running, but rather with the globalist agenda that aims to destroy national sovereignty and enslave the entire world under a one-world government.
The world is now waking up to the shocking “Alex Jones” reality: There really is a global extermination agenda and a one-world government conspiracy that has been underway for decades. In fact, we are now witnessing the final stages of this effort, with Canada’s corrupt, criminal leaders spearheading the effort to criminalize dissent, outlaw freedom and unleash extreme government violence against innocent people.
UN troops have already landed in Canada and are active there now
UN troops have landed in Canada and now occupy the nation, posing as Ottawa police in order to carry out acts of brutality against the citizens there. The following video shows the UN charter jets after they landed at a Canadian airport:
The following photo shows the nameless, faceless UN “goon” troops pretending to be Ottawa police, dressed as authoritarian thugs, complete with black face masks and olive drab bulk uniforms that smack of a dystopian sci-fi flick:
Here they are marching in deployment against Canada’s peaceful protesters, who are unarmed:
Here’s a compilation of clips showing some of the brutality of local police. Some of these police appear to be from Ottawa, while other videos show what appear to be UN troops, which are dressed in olive drab green. They both appear to be attempting to achieve the same goal: Government-sponsored terrorism against innocent, peaceful protesters.
And don’t forget the police horse trampling incident over the weekend, where RCMP police goons deliberately drove their horses into a crowd of defenseless people, ultimately trampling an elderly woman who suffered a severe injury:
As I pointed out in my podcast, this is what happens when Leftists vote for socialists. They actually get Marxists in power, and they lose all their freedoms. To all the people in Canada who voted for Trudeau (which is only 1 in 3, it turns out), you are getting exactly the tyranny you deserve because you were too stupid to recognize the lies of the political Left. You thought you were voting for “progressives” but you were actually putting Nazi fascists into power, and now they’ve revoked your freedom (permanently).
Now, people are waking up to the obvious truth: The most dangerous entity in any nation is the government itself. Furthermore, it’s now obvious that every government eventually turns to terrorism against its own citizens to stay in power and try to silence dissent.
It won’t be long before Trudeau orders the Canadian goon squads to open fire on innocent Canadian citizens. The first massacre isn’t far off, and it will be followed by the activation of Canada’s large-scale death camps which were built under the cover of “covid” but were actually intended to carry out genocide against Canada’s own citizens.
Listen to my full podcast today for more details, covering Trudeau, UN occupation, government terrorism, the WEF “penetration” of cabinets (and other pieces of furniture), and much more.
