Opinion by Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership’s Robert B Young, MD

Gun Control Safety Cap MedicineAmerican Medical Association versus America

USA –  -(Ammoland.com)-  The American Medical Association or AMA just announced that it will make an “unprecedented” push for more gun control laws through resolutions presented at its House of Delegates at its next annual meeting June 9-13 2018.
This is not really unprecedented, as the AMA has been advocating anti-gun measures for three decades now, along with many co-conspirator specialty associations. But it is a way for it to jump on the current popular bandwagon for restricting guns since some of the teenagers from the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Valentine’s Day shootings have become media celebrities.

Jumping aboard progressive bandwagons is the main tactic left to the AMA to wield influence, since it now includes no more than 25% of America’s physicians as members, even though it claims to represent us all.

Its leadership has left most physicians behind by focusing on politics more than medicine and undercutting physician autonomy by supporting Obamacare. In this case, they continue denigrating the vast number of Second Amendment respecting health care providers by continuing to back gun control—as if anything short of full civilian disarmament would substantially reduce “gun violence”, let alone affect violent crime. (Regarding eliminating scary “assault rifles” see the latest school shooting at Santa Fe using a pump-action shotgun and a .38 caliber revolver; regarding the consequences of handgun prohibition, see the United Kingdom—or anywhere.)
The AMA has a very long history of attacking guns and gun ownership as too dangerous for commoners. Rarely, members with other views get a hearing (which is then ignored); more typically, even that doesn’t happen, as its governance seeks to justify positions, not develop them.
It quotes manipulated data, like all anti-gun rights groups, basing this outcry on an inflated list of 2018 school shootings making the rounds, even though only a fraction of those events qualifies as attempts at mass shootings on students during school. (PolitiFact occasionally gets it right.)
From the Forbes article:
“This year, here are just some of the measures doctors want the AMA to back:
  • Ban the sale of bump stocks. AMA delegates will consider supporting “a ban on the sale of any device, including bump stocks, that converts a firearm into a weapon that mimics a fully automatic weapon.”
  • Strengthen the background check system for firearms. AMA delegates will consider supporting legislation that requires “all gun sales and transfers” to “fall under strengthened regulation.”
  • Ban on semi-automatic assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines. AMA delegates will consider supporting “a ban on the sale, transfer, manufacturer and importation of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines to the public.”
  • Increasing the legal age of purchasing ammunition and firearms from 18 to 21. AMA delegates will consider supporting “increasing the legal age to purchase firearms and ammunition.” ”

Some corrections are in order here.

First of all, “here are just some of the measures the AMA wants doctors to back.”
Then, regarding the claim by AMA President David A. Barbe, MD, that “Gun violence in America today is a public health crisis”, DRGO has repeatedly debunked that untruth (e.g., here). Continuing it is “one that requires a comprehensive and far-reaching solution” such as:
  • Ban the sale of bump stocks. This may be a device implicated in the fewest shootings of all, only in Las Vegas last October, which wasn’t even necessary to inflict all the casualties the gunman caused.
  • Strengthen the background check system for firearms. They mean, of course, universal registration of all firearm transfers, as of the effective date of universal background checks. That is not consistent with individual freedom in our country.
  • Ban on semi-automatic assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines. This suggests the next step would be to ban all semi-automatic weapons, since there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the function of the Ruger Mini-14, the Browning [semi-]Automatic Rifle and any AR-model semi-automatic weapon. All pistols, gas-operated shotguns and even most .22 caliber plinkers would be gone. But this is “a good start”, to quote any anti-gun activist, including outlawing what have always been standard magazine capacities up of to 30 rounds.
  • Increasing the legal age of purchasing ammunition and firearms from 18 to 21. This is self-evidently discriminatory, as we rely on 18 to 20-year-olds’ judgment in most states about drinking and consider them able to decide to join the military and die in war zones without question. Wonder how most would vote on this question of their older betters intent to deprive them of a constitutional right?
Legislating morality has always been impossible in a diverse polity like the United States. They’ll have no more luck with this than the abortion, capital punishment or immigration battles have had in uniting American opinion about them.
To quote William F. Buckley, Jr.’s National Review mission statement, DRGO “stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.” There’s progress (like ensuring a well-educated, ethical populace enjoying all the rights of individual liberty) and then there are progressives (the opposite). DRGO stands for progress.
Let’s not let them get away with it!

HAMAS LINKED CAIR APPLAUDS ROSEANNE BARR’S CANCELLATION OF HER SHOW; ACCUSES HER OF “ISLAMOPHOBIA”


HAMAS LINKED CAIR APPLAUDS ROSEANNE BARR’S CANCELLATION OF HER SHOW; ACCUSES HER OF “ISLAMOPHOBIA” 
BY ROBERT SPENCER

“Barr’s tweet aimed at Jarrett, an African-American woman who served as a senior adviser for Obama from 2009 to 2017, seemed to refer to conspiracy theories falsely painting her as a closeted Muslim. ”
Not necessarily. Maybe Roseanne was referring to the close ties between the Obama administration and the Muslim Brotherhood. The former U.S. prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy in 2013 listed a great many strange collaborations between the State Department of Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett and Muslim Brotherhood organizations, including:
  • The State Department announced that the Obama administration would be “satisfied” with the election of a Muslim Brotherhood–dominated government in Egypt.
  • Secretary Clinton personally intervened to reverse a Bush-administration ruling that barred Tariq Ramadan, grandson of the Brotherhood’s founder and son of one of its most influential early leaders, from entering the United States.
  • The State Department collaborated with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a bloc of governments heavily influenced by the Brotherhood, in seeking to restrict American free-speech rights in deference to Sharia proscriptions against negative criticism of Islam.
  • The State Department excluded Israel, the world’s leading target of terrorism, from its “Global Counterterrorism Forum,” a group that brings the United States together with several Islamist governments, prominently including its co-chair, Turkey— which now finances Hamas and avidly supports the flotillas that seek to break Israel’s blockade of Hamas. At the forum’s kickoff, Secretary Clinton decried various terrorist attacks and groups, but she did not mention Hamas or attacks against Israel—in transparent deference to the Islamist governments, which echo the Brotherhood’s position that Hamas is not a terrorist organization and that attacks against Israel are not terrorism.
  • The State Department and the Obama administration waived congressional restrictions in order to transfer 1.5 billion dollars in aid to Egypt after the Muslim Brotherhood’s victory in the parliamentary elections.
  • The State Department and the Obama administration waived congressional restrictions in order to transfer millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinian territories, notwithstanding that Gaza is ruled by the terrorist organization Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch.
  • The State Department and the administration hosted a contingent from Egypt’s newly elected parliament that included not only Muslim Brotherhood members but a member of the Islamic Group (Gamaa al-Islamiyya), which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization. The State Department refused to provide Americans with information about the process by which it issued a visa to a member of a designated terrorist organization, about how the members of the Egyptian delegation were selected, or about what security procedures were followed before the delegation was allowed to enter our country.
Conspiracy theory? No.
Anyway, Roseanne’s remarks are not “Islamophobic” (she didn’t actually say anything about Islam), although they certainly can be taken as racist (it’s unclear, however, that Roseanne knew that Jarrett is black), but Hamas-linked CAIR’s Nihad Awad makes a telling remark here: “Ms. Barr has a First Amendment right to express her views, however Islamophobic or racist, but she does not have a constitutional right to a program on a national television network.”
This echoes statements that Hamas-linked CAIR leaders have made many times. They have a formula they trot out every time: X has a First Amendment right to express his/her views, but he/she does not have a constitutional right to speak at a major university/address law enforcement officials/have a program on a national TV network, etc.
What Hamas-linked CAIR is trying to do is destroy the First Amendment under the guise of upholding it, and create an atmosphere in which everyone it accuses of “Islamophobia” and “racism” — which would include not just those who post intemperate tweets, but those who discuss how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism. CAIR is a quintessentially authoritarian organization, determined to silence all foes of jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims and others, by tarring them as “Islamophobic” and “racist” and destroying their reputations. And of course the Leftist media eagerly aids and abets them in this.
“ABC cancels Roseanne after star’s racist tweet,” by Lynette Rice, Entertainment, May 29, 2018:
ABC has canceled Roseanne.
The network’s abrupt decision to yank the reboot comes only hours after star Roseanne Barr made a racist tweet Tuesday morning attacking former President Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. Barr used Jarrett’s initials and wrote, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”…
Barr’s tweet aimed at Jarrett, an African-American woman who served as a senior adviser for Obama from 2009 to 2017, seemed to refer to conspiracy theories falsely painting her as a closeted Muslim. The Council on American-Islamic Relations — the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization — applauded ABC’s decision to yank the show.
“We welcome the swift and appropriate action taken by ABC and hope it sends a message that the promotion of hatred and bigotry will not be accepted by our nation’s entertainment industry,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement. “Ms. Barr has a First Amendment right to express her views, however Islamophobic or racist, but she does not have a constitutional right to a program on a national television network.”
Though CAIR had previously expressed appreciation for the challenging Islamophobia, “Ms. Barr’s tweet unfortunately does not express the inclusiveness and rejection of bigotry we saw in the episode on Islamophobia,” Awad added.

Roseanne, Islamic anti-Semitism, and the West’s double standard

BY MATEEN ELASS
SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/05/roseanne-islamic-anti-semitism-and-the-wests-double-standardrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
The reactions were fast and furious after Roseanne Barr’s Valerie Jarrett tweet hit the Twitter world early Tuesday morning. Jarrett, former President Obama’s senior adviser, was born in Iran to African-American parents. Barr’s insulting comment about Jarrett read, “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”
Within a few hours, ABC announced they were cancelling the very successful “Roseanne” sitcom reboot, declaring that her tweet was “…abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.” Barr, for her part, had already issued an apology, recognizing that she had crossed the line of decency in a poor attempt at partisan humor. But the damage was done, and thousands erupted with indignation using words such as “offensive, disgraceful, racist, distasteful, inexcusable, and hateful.”
Rightly so. Such pejoratives should never be thought much less directed at another human being. Yet unbridled human nature is capable of much worse. Spend a day on a middle school or high school campus and you’ll hear a lot more hair-raising verbal abuse than Rosanne’s tweet. But we excuse that in adolescents. With 65 years olds, it’s another story. Roseanne is reaping what she has sown, and the public is heaping shame and scorn on her.
Frankly, I’ve been a bit surprised by the speed and ferocity of condemnations issued, especially by the self-described “tolerant Left.” In spite of her swift apology, very few have been willing to cut her any slack. I can understand this. But in the name of consistency, we need to apply this same standard elsewhere.
Barr’s “Planet of the Apes” allusion immediately reminded me of another instance where certain human beings are regularly regarded as sub-human by millions of other human beings, yet this reality hardly ever makes the news. On any given Friday in thousands of venues around the world, this hate speech spews from orators and is applauded by listeners. It happens in mosques and prayer halls, in classrooms and at rallies. Muslim leaders routinely speak of “the Jews” variously as the “descendants of apes and pigs,” “brothers of apes and pigs,” or simply as “apes and pigs” by nature. Mohammad Morsi, former president of Egypt and leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, argued that the Arab peoples should never negotiate with Israel, “the descendants of apes and pigs.” Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, has echoed the same language. So have imams and popular religious leaders around the Muslim world. Have any of them apologized for such hate speech? No. Have Western mainstream media or leading politicians called them out for such odious remarks? No.  If you think I’m exaggerating, take a look at the video below, recorded about 12 years ago, of the then Syrian Deputy Minister of Religious Endowment, Dr. Muhammad ‘Abd al-Sattar, who in light of his official position should know a little something about Islam:
If you didn’t already know, Dr. Sattar makes it clear that the reason Muslims commonly denigrate and dehumanize “the Jews” as a people is because the Qur’an teaches them to. In three places, the Muslim “holy book” teaches that because of Jewish disobedience, Allah transformed a group of Jews into apes or pigs:
And question them concerning the township which was bordering the sea, when they transgressed the Sabbath, when their fish came to them on the day of their Sabbath, swimming shorewards, but on the day they kept not Sabbath, they came not unto them. Even so We were trying them for their ungodliness. And when a certain nation of them said, ‘Why do you admonish a people God is about to destroy or to chastise with a terrible chastisement?’ They said, ‘As an excuse to your Lord; and haply they will be godfearing.’ So, when they forgot that they were reminded of; We delivered those who were forbidding wickedness, and We seized the evildoers with evil chastisement for their ungodliness. And when they turned in disdain from that forbidding We said to them, ‘Be you apes, miserably slinking!’ (Sura 7:163-66; Arberry translation).
And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], “Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous”…. And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, “Be apes, despised.” (Sura 2:63, 65; Sahih International translation).
Say: “Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped Taghut (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hell­fire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)” (Sura 5:60; Mohsin Khan translation).
If Roseanne Barr is rightly pilloried for the atrocious abuse she directed publicly toward Valerie Jarrett in one tweet, for which she immediately apologized, what should conscientious, ethically-minded Westerners who don’t want to be charged with hypocrisy say concerning a religion which tars and feathers a whole race of people, linking them with animals who are despised by that religion?

When they conquered India, Muslims were benevolent and tolerant, right? That’s what Rutgers Newark professor Audrey Truschke would have you believe.
Ramadan Day 14 thought for the day from my new book The History of Jihad:
“When Hindus and Muslims lived in harmony,” by Aijaz Zaka Syed, Saudi Gazette, August 19, 2017:
AT a time when the Muslims are being hunted like animals on the benign watch of the BJP, two brave new books revisit a time when they ruled the country. The Hindus and Muslims lived in harmony under Muslim rulers, including under the powerful Moguls, argues Audrey Truschke of Stanford University, an authority on South Asian culture and history.
In her fascinating book, Culture of Encounters: Sanskrit at the Mughal Court, Truschke suggests that the heyday of Muslim rule, from the 16th to 18th centuries, had been one of “tremendous cross-cultural respect and fertilization and not religious or cultural conflict.”…
The ‘Culture of Encounters’ was followed by another groundbreaking tome on perhaps the most controversial figure in Indian history. Aurangzeb: The Man and the Myth is another brave attempt to understand the life and times of the last great Mogul emperor who ruled for nearly half a century and whose reign covered the length and breadth of India including Afghanistan and parts of Mynamar.
“The Aurangzeb of popular memory bears only a faint resemblance to the historical emperor,” notes Truschke as she seeks to clear the cobwebs that have always clouded his image. She sifts fact from fiction and the man from the many myths that have grown around him over the centuries, thanks to biased telling of history as part of the British colonial project.
She dismisses the myth that Aurangzeb had been driven by religious zeal and his rule was defined by the oppression of Hindus….
In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I introduce you to the real Aurangzeb, beyond these ridiculous academic myths, in his own words and the words of eyewitnesses to his deeds. Aurangzeb in 1670 issued this decree: “Every idol-house built during the last 10 or 12 years, whether with brick or clay, should be demolished without delay. Also, do not allow the crushed Hindus and despicable infidels to repair their old temples.”
A Muslim historian, Saqa Mustad Khan, writing just after Aurangzeb died in 1707, reported that in January 1680, Aurangzeb “went to view lake Udaisagar, constructed by the Rana, and ordered all the three temples on its banks to be demolished.” The following day, “Hasan Ali Khan brought to the Emperor twenty camel-loads of tents and other things captured from the Rana’s palace and reported that one hundred and seventy-two other temples in the environs of Udaipur had been destroyed.” Later that year, “Abu Turab, who had been sent to demolish the temples of Amber, returned to Court…and reported that he had pulled down sixty-six temples.”
Bakhtawar Khan, a nobleman during Aurangzeb’s reign, was also pleased, noting that “Hindu writers have been entirely excluded from holding public offices, and all the worshipping places of the infidels and great temples of these infamous people have been thrown down and destroyed in a manner which excites astonishment at the successful completion of so difficult a task.”
You won’t learn all this at Rutgers, or most any other American university. They’re too busy teaching academic fictions such as those retailed here by Audrey Truschke, and warning their students about “Islamophobia.” But you can get the truth in The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS: click here to preorder. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS is the only comprehensive one-volume history of jihad in the English language, including not just the jihad in Europe but in India, Africa and elsewhere, drawing primarily on accounts of eyewitnesses and contemporary chroniclers.

BRITISH PRIME MINISTER PRESSURED TO LEGALIZE ABORTION IN NORTHERN IRELAND AFTER IRELAND’S REPEAL OF RIGHT TO LIFE AMENDMENT

BRITISH PRIME MINISTER PRESSURED TO LEGALIZE ABORTION IN NORTHERN IRELAND AFTER IRELAND’S REPEAL OF RIGHT TO LIFE AMENDMENT 
BY RAVEN CLABOUGH
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
On Friday, Irish voters cast votes to legalize abortion in a historic referendum vote that repealed Ireland's Eighth Amendment, which protected the right to life of unborn children. And though Northern Ireland has stated it will not bow to pressure to follow suit, British Prime Minister Theresa May is reportedly being asked to consider executive action to legalize abortion in the region.
Northern Ireland is governed differently from the rest of Ireland, and a power struggle has left the government without an executive since January 2017, the Daily Caller writes, which compelled British officials to assume the authority to make major decisions. Sensing a weakness in a strongly pro-life government, abortion advocates are now pushing Theresa May to use the opportunity to legalize abortion.
Northern Ireland already has the option to align with Britain's abortion laws, which allow women to seek abortions up to 24 weeks, but its assembly voted against this option in February 2016, before its government collapsed, leaving it without an executive.
The repeal of the Eighth Amendment means that Northern Ireland is the only remaining place in the U.K. and Ireland where abortions remain outlawed, according to The Guardian. Abortions are permissible in Northern Ireland only if the life or mental health of the mother is at risk.
And when 66 percent of voters in Ireland overturned the country's abortion ban on Friday, one lawmaker, Democratic Unionist MP Ian Paisley, vowed that Northern Ireland would not be "bullied into accepting abortion on demand."
Paisley pointed out that Northern Ireland is not constrained by constitutional legalities on the issue of abortion, but instead by laws that are supported by its people that protect the life of the unborn. “Northern Ireland did not have a constitutional imperative on abortion; it is governed by laws that can be changed," he observed. "The settled will of the people has been to afford protections to the unborn life and protect the life of the mother."
For now, May has refused to take action in Northern Ireland, according to her spokesperson. "It is important to recognize that the people of Northern Ireland are entitled to their own process which is run by elected politicians," the spokesperson said. "Our focus is restoring a democratically accountable devolved government in Northern Ireland so that locally accountable politicians can make decisions on behalf of the public they represent."
May's decision is upsetting to pro-abortion advocates in Parliament, who see nothing wrong with imposing their will on the people of Northern Ireland whether they like it or not. “This is an injustice. No woman in the U.K. should be denied access to a safe, legal abortion,” Britain’s Labour Party shadow minister for women and equalities, Dawn Butler, said in response to May's statement, Reuters reported. 
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable also asserts that May should act in the absence of an executive in Northern Ireland despite being in direct opposition to what the people of Northern Ireland want.
"Since there is, effectively, direct rule from Westminster, the Government has responsibility and it can and should take the opportunity to deal with this issue properly," he argued.
The Irish Times reports that approximately 140 members of Parliament would support an amendment to legalize abortion in Northern Ireland.
But the U.K.'s Independent notes that May's parliamentary authority rests heavily on the support of the Democratic Unionist Party, which is vehemently pro-life.
DUP leader Arlene Foster has already warned the prime minister against intervening on the issue, saying: “Friday's referendum has no impact upon the law in Northern Ireland, but we obviously take note of issues impacting upon our nearest neighbor.... Some of those who wish to circumvent the assembly's role may be doing so simply to avoid its decision."
Friday's vote in Ireland has strengthened the resolve of pro-life groups in Northern Ireland to oppose any efforts to ease restrictions on abortion. Bernadette Smyth, leader of Precious Life, called Ireland's repeal vote "the most tragic day in Irish history" in a statement released following the referendum.
She added, "Every unborn child still has the right to life. Northern Ireland is now the beacon of hope to the pro-life movement around the world."
Meanwhile, the U.K. is considering an amendment to the Domestic Violence Bill that would standardize abortion law across all of the United Kingdom, effectively legalizing abortions in Northern Ireland. For now, the amendment has been tabled, though it has the support of more than 150 parliamentarians, the Belfast Telegraph writes.

SUPREME COURT MAY SOON SET BOUNDARIES ON RELIGIOUS EXERCISE & USE OF PROPERTY

SUPREME COURT MAY SOON SET BOUNDARIES ON RELIGIOUS EXERCISE & USE OF PROPERTY 
SEE: https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/29161-scotus-may-soon-set-boundaries-on-religious-exercise-and-use-of-propertyrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
Very soon, the Supreme Court of the United States will issue a “ruling” that at once will draw legal boundaries around the acceptable exercise of religion in this country and will set rules for the acceptable use one may make of his own property and labor.
In June — the last month of its term — a majority of the nine justices will unite to decide the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop vs. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the well-known case where a homosexual couple claim that they were denied the equal protection of the laws when Jack Phillips, the owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop, refused to bake them a rainbow cake for use in their gay “wedding” ceremony.
Make no mistake. Phillips has served homosexuals in the past and would, had the current suit not financially ruined him, continued to serve them in the future. For Phillips, the issue was not the serving of homosexuals that he refused to do, it was the celebrating of a ceremony that his Christian faith teaches is immoral.
In other words, one might believe it is biblically forbidden by God for a man and woman to engage in premarital sexual relations. Suppose that person is a carpenter. Suppose a couple who is known to be cohabiting and engaging in premarital sexual relations comes to the carpenter and asks him to build them a coffee table. The carpenter would likely feel no religious restriction to such a job. 
Now, imagine that instead of a coffee table, the couple comes to him and asks him to make them a plaque saying “We Don’t Need a Piece of Paper to Prove Our Love.” One could imagine that the carpenter would demur, citing his Christian faith’s doctrine that sexual relations are to be kept within the bounds of lawful marriage.
This is pretty much the case of the baker in Colorado whose adherence to his religious beliefs may soon prompt the country’s highest court to place such fidelity to faith beyond the protection of the law, including the First Amendment that was specifically designed to prevent the federal government from interfering in the spiritual realm.
On that very salient point, Justice William Kennedy may have already tipped his hand. This is important because many observers consider Kennedy the swing vote who could throw the victory to either party.
In the Obergefell opinion, wherein the Supreme Court forced all Americans to recognize the “marriage” of same-sex couples, Justice Kennedy wrote the following regarding the privileged position of religious expression:
Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered.
It will be worth reading the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision if for no other reason than to see if Justice Kennedy has had an anti-religious conversion.
Equally as disturbing as the fact the federal courts might soon usurp power to put limits on religious expression is the fact that the same case will grant the government power to punish Americans who use their property and labor in ways not approved by the black-robed oligarchs.
Property, one of the most fundamental of the natural rights, may soon be placed at the disposal of government for the unchallengeable use of those classes of people under its powerful protection. 
Ryan Macken, writing for the Mises Institute, put a pretty fine point on the potential de facto confiscation of all property and labor by the kritarchs.
Anyone who claims there’s too much democracy in the United States needs to keep in mind that American law and policy is ultimately decided by five millionaires at the Supreme Court. 
This week, we’re being reminded that the Supreme Court of the United States is hearing arguments in the case of a small-time baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding. 
This, apparently, is a matter of such importance that it requires the intervention of the federal government and its court system to decide for whom a tiny small business shall be forced to bake desserts. In other words, the court’s majority of five people will decide for 320 million people what is mandatory for anyone who wants to open a small business in the United States. 
There is not a single syllable of the Constitution granting (notice: the Constitution “grants” power, it does not “give” it) to the federal courts the authority to issue edicts enforcing limits on the labor of Americans and the property Americans create with that labor.
In fact, Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution sets forth that “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.”
The key to that crucial clause is the definition of a “republican form of government.”
In Federalist, No. 10, James Madison provides a now famous formula for recognizing republican government: “A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place.”
Not a single one of the justices who sit on the bench of the Supreme Court was elected by the people, and the justices are not accountable to the people and they do not in any meaningful way represent the people.
If the Supreme Court takes upon itself to legislate from its marble palace, then Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution is violated and the states and people are justified in following the course suggested by Alexander Hamilton should such a despotism be attempted by any branch or officer of the federal government.
In Federalist, No. 33 Hamilton writes, “It will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the larger society [the federal government] which are not pursuant to its constitutional powers but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation and will deserve to be treated as such.”
As the date of the decision approaches, it only remains to be seen whether any unconstitutional act of the Supreme Court will be treated as a usurpation or will be treated as the ultimate and final rule on religion and property in the United States.

So-called “sanctuary cities” are reportedly among the states and localities awarded $1.7 billion in grants by President Trump’s homeland security secretary.
Three unidentified sources told McClatchy that multiple sanctuary cities were awarded grants, a move that goes against Trump’s repeated promises to cut off funding to those cities, which offer protections to undocumented immigrants and refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
McClatchy reported that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen approved the grants, defying objections from other top agency officials.
“This is typical of Nielsen,” one source told McClatchy. “She is known for deliberately ignoring warnings that her decisions are not in keeping with the president’s agenda, but that she proceeds forcefully and simply misrepresents what she is doing.”

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen will allow U.S. companies to import an additional 15,000 low-skilled foreign workers to compete with working-class Americans through the H-2B visa program.

Every year, the U.S. companies are allowed to import 66,000 low-skilled H-2B foreign workers to take blue-collar, nonagricultural jobs. The H-2B visa program is used by businesses to bring in cheaper, foreign workers and has contributed to Americans having their wages undercut.
After staunch lobbying from the big business lobby and business-first Republican lawmakers, Nielsen announced the decision in a statement, justifying the importation of more foreign workers as a necessity in order to help businesses that are “at risk of failing.”
Nielsen said:
The limitations on H-2B visas were originally meant to protect American workers, but when we enter a situation where the program unintentionally harms American businesses it needs to be reformed.
I call on Congress to pass much needed reforms of the program and to expressly set the number of H-2B visas in statute.  We are once again in a situation where Congress has passed the buck and turned a decision over to DHS that would be better situated with Congress, who knows the needs of the program.
As Secretary, I remain committed to protecting U.S. workers and strengthening the integrity of our lawful immigration system and look forward to working with Congress to do so.
Nielsen’s ability to expand the H-2B program is a gift to business provided in the 2018 omnibus by retiring House Speaker Paul Ryan.
The 2018 omnibus — like the 2017 omnibus — did not require legislators to vote for expanding the unpopular program. Instead, it allowed DHS to raise the caps.
The decision to bring more low-skilled foreign workers to the U.S. undermines President Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” executive order. This is now the second consecutive year that DHS has caved to the big business lobby and allowed 15,000 foreign workers to take U.S. jobs.
Though the business community — with the help of the establishment media — has relentlessly warned of so-called “labor shortages,” wage data analyzed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), and the Economic Policy Institute crushes these claims.
For example, data has shown that wages for Americans have actually declined in the majority of H-2B visa occupations. Researchers say the H-2B visa program allows businesses to keep a steady stream of cheap, foreign workers in order to avoid raising U.S. wages and recruiting Americans for the blue-collar jobs.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS CUT TIES WITH WASHINGTON, D.C. BAPTISTS OVER HOMOSEXUALITY 
BY DAVE BOHON
SEE: https://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/faith-and-morals/item/29153-southern-baptists-cut-ties-with-dc-baptists-over-homosexualityrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the nation’s largest evangelical denomination, has severed ties with the District of Columbia Baptist Convention (DCBC), after the Washington, D.C. church group refused to discipline a church under its jurisdiction that had hired a pair of lesbian co-pastors.
In February the SBC’s Executive Committee issued the DCBC a 90-day ultimatum to remove all congregations in its fellowship that “practice affirming, approving, or endorsing homosexual behavior,” according to Baptist Press News (BP News). The action came after one of the DCBC’s member congregations, Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., voted in January 2017 to call a “married” lesbian couple co-pastors.
Calvary, a 155-year-old congregation founded by abolitionists, had disassociated from the SBC in 2012, but was still part of the DCBC. But when the church called lesbian partners Maria Swearingen and Sally Sarratt co-pastors in 2017, the SBC’s Executive Committee charged that by failing to discipline the congregation, the DCBC had tacitly approved of the unbiblical actions of Calvary.
After the DCBC failed to comply with the SBC’s warning as of May 21, the SBC severed its relationship with the group. “The formal relationship between the SBC and the DCBC has come to an end,” said D. August Boto, the SBC’s Executive Committee president, in a prepared statement. Boto told BP News that he had received a letter from DCBC executive director Robert Cochran “indicating that the DCBC has not taken action the Executive Committee hoped it would when it issued its Feb. 20 decision. In his letter, Cochran divulged that he anticipated an end to our relationship.”
Boto recounted that upon receiving Cochran’s response, he “issued a letter to the DCBC on behalf of the [SBC Executive Committee]…. I will soon send another letter to each of eight churches we know of in DC that are supporting SBC work through financial gifts directed through the DCBC. The letters will inform each group that the formal relationship between the SBC and the DCBC has come to an end and that … the SBC no longer recognizes the District of Columbia Baptist Convention as a Baptist body authorized to receive and disburse Cooperative Program and other SBC contributions.”
Boto said that the SBC’s Executive Committee had “expressed deep regret over the need to take this action, but felt compelled to affirm biblical truth over organizational relationships.” He added that the committee embraced a “willingness to consider resuming its relationship with the DCBC in the future,” should the group act to remove Calvary Baptist from its fellowship.
However, while Cochran had earlier emphasized that the DCBC “has not affirmed, approved, or endorsed homosexual behavior in any way at any time,” and that it “respects the official statements” on homosexuality by the SBC, he made it clear that his group had “no plans to disassociate” with Calvary Baptist Church, and had not discussed “the issue of homosexuality” with Calvary Baptist leadership.

Italy’s President sabotages popular anti-Muslim migration, “Euroceptic” coalition

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
“Italian President Sergio Mattarella announced his rejection of Italy’s populist coalition government.” His move is being interpreted as “a rejection not only of the government but of the national will as expressed in democratic elections.”
Mattarella has now nominated Carlo Cottarelli, an International Monetary Fund former official, to form an interim government.
The battle is on in Italy, just as it is elsewhere against globalist leaders who continue to violate the principles of democratic rule and the will of the people in order to force people to accept mass Muslim migration. Right before last Christmas, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation released a statement claiming that Europe needs mass Muslim migration to pay its pensions. United Nations Secretary General António Guterres also unveiled his plan to promote global mass migration.
Less than two weeks ago, Jihad Watch reported about Italy’s new coalition’s plan to deport 500,000 migrants.
In the March 4th national elections, Italians voted overwhelmingly for anti-establishment parties, with the Five-Star Movement taking the largest share, followed by the eurosceptic and anti-mass immigration League.
Italian President Sergio Mattarella has now sabotaged plans for the new coalition government, leading to calls for his impeachment, while leaders of Five-Star and League are reportedly organizing rallies in Italy, ahead of fresh elections either in the Fall or early new year.
“Sabotage: Italian President Blocks Eurosceptic Coalition Govt, Populist Leader Calls for Impeachment,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, May 27, 2018:
Italian President Sergio Mattarella announced his rejection of Italy’s populist coalition government Sunday evening in what is being billed as one of the worst days in Italian political history.
Mattarella’s move is being widely interpreted as a rejection not only of the government but of the national will as expressed in democratic elections, and massive demonstrations are expected Monday. The Italian president was reportedly under heavy pressure from Brussels, Berlin, and other centres of European power to abort the eurosceptic government, which they viewed as a threat to European stability.
In the March 4th national elections, Italians voted overwhelmingly for anti-establishment parties, with the Five-Star Movement taking the largest share, followed by the eurosceptic and anti-mass immigration League.
Since neither party had the necessary parliamentary seats to form a government, the leaders of the two groups — Five-Star’s Luigi Di Maio and League’s Matteo Salvini — worked together to form a coalition government, working through their differences and hammering out a 58-page unified political program last week…..

Once again we see it. In The Coming of the Third Reich, historian Richard J. Evans explains how, in the early days of National Socialist Germany, Stormtroopers (Brownshirts) “organized campaigns against unwanted professors in the local newspapers [and] staged mass disruptions of their lectures.” To express dissent from Nazi positions became a matter of taking one’s life into one’s hands. The idea of people of opposing viewpoints airing their disagreements in a civil and mutually respectful manner was gone. One was a Nazi, or one was silent (and fearful).
Today’s fascists call themselves “anti-fascists.” Just like the Nazis, they are totalitarian: they are determined not to allow their opponents to murmur the slightest whisper of dissent. Forcibly suppressing the speech of someone with whom one disagrees is a quintessentially fascist act.

This is how Welcome Nikki Haley who was a keynote speaker at the University of Houston, USA.

“‘Blood Is on Your Hands’: Nikki Haley Heckled During University Speech (VIDEOS),” Sputnik News, May 23, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

When US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley went to speak at the University of Houston Tuesday, she got a bit more than she bargained for. Student activists confronted her about her positions on the violence in Gaza and toward the Palestinian people.
Haley spoke Tuesday afternoon in the Student Center South Theater about an array of topics, from leadership to global challenges to recent events in Texas. She spoke of the disaster that befell the city of Houston last August, when Hurricane Harvey dropped an unprecedented amount of rain on the Lone Star State, leaving most of the city under feet of floodwater.
“We saw neighbors helping neighbors, people watching out for each other. Houston gave us all a master class in how to be good citizens and how to be good human beings,” Haley said, according to Click2Houston. “I know you’ve been through a lot and you’re dealing with the aftermath, but you should all be very proud of how your community has come through all of this.”
She also spoke of the 10 shooting victims from Santa Fe High School earlier this week, a town to the southeast of Houston.
So far, pretty typical for a politician’s university speech. But soon, things got interesting.
“I’m here following a very busy few weeks in American foreign policy,” Haley began to say.
​​That’s when a protester stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs: “Nikki Haley, the blood is on your hands! You continue to sign off on the genocide of a native people! You are an accomplice to terrorists and colonizers!”
​After this monologue, dozens of protesters stood up and erupted in a call-and-answer chant across the auditorium, holding up Palestinian flags. They chanted “Nikki Nikki can’t you see? You are on a killing spree!” and “Nikki Haley you can’t hide, you signed off on genocide!”
Security personnel more or less immediately responded and attempted to escort the protesters out of the auditorium.
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at UH, an anti-Zionist, pro-Palestine student advocacy group with branches at colleges and universities across the US and several other countries, issued a statement Monday in anticipation of Haley’s speech. However, it is unclear if they or another group was behind the Tuesday protest.
SJP UH slammed Haley for her “spiteful actions before and during her time as ambassador to the United Nations demonstrate her blatant discrimination against Palestinians and blind eye to injustices around the world,” noting that she has “worked relentlessly to block the UN Humans Rights investigation into Israel’s murderous crimes in Gaza” and that she has a long history and commitment to “silencing the voices of those who have spoken out against Israel’s atrocious acts against Palestinians.” SJP noted that during her time as governor of South Carolina, Haley spearheaded a law that made South Carolina the second US state to explicitly bar businesses from boycotting Israel under the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) campaign.
“Nikki Haley embodies the racism inherent in the US’ anti-Palestinian position,” the statement goes on to say. “Her decisions, actions and dehumanization of Palestinian lives show her complicity in the genocide of a native people fighting for liberation. In inviting Nikki Haley to its campus, the University of Houston demonstrates how little it cares about the safety and concerns of its students, including the large community of Palestinians that attend and contribute to UH’s diversity.”
“We, the undersigned student organizations and faculty, declare unequivocally that hatred in all its forms is not welcome at our university and that no matter when injustice rears its ugly head, those of us on the correct side of history will confront it. We call on the university to signal to its students and the broader community that it is committed to its principles of diversity and inclusion by condemning the presence of Nikki Haley on our campus in light of her recent actions. No matter how blurred the values of our country become, the university must stay true to its values and speak out against all forms of injustice, hatred, and bigotry.”
​In line with the Trump administration’s hostility toward the Palestinian cause, Haley’s conduct in the United Nations on the United States’ behalf has been similarly bellicose, declaring on December 20, 2017, during a vote in the UN General Assembly on a resolution criticizing US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel earlier that month, that the US “will be taking names” and that Trump had asked her to report back “who voted against us,” the BBC reported at the time.The issue of ownership of Jerusalem is highly contentious in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as Palestinians insist that Jerusalem must be the capital of any future Palestinian state.
The war of words continued into 2018, with Haley deriding Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas by declaring his administration “lacks what is needed to achieve peace” in February, the Jerusalem Post reported. Later that month, after a speech before the UN Security Council in which Abbas said the US was “closing the door on a two-state solution” and he called upon UN member states that have not yet recognized Palestine as a state to do so, Abbas notably snubbed the next two speakers, Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, and Haley, the US ambassador, walking out of the council chamber after his remarks were finished.

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
You might have, at some point, had the kind little old lady on the bus next to you take out her purse and show you a photo album of her children. It’s tedious, but a socially polite formality, to grin in admiration at her children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. It’s not uncommon to be shown the family album when you visit a friend’s house for the first time. It’s not even uncommon for couples in the midst of an international adoption to show pictures of their prospective children, raising funds to bring them home to their new family.
Showing photos of your private jets, however, is probably only something that mega-rich televangelists do. And it’s weird.
On This Week with Jesse, Jesse Duplantis shows a series of portrait frames on his wall displaying not his children or grandchildren, but his private jets. The last one is a spaceship, which he says he is “believing in God for.” You can watch the video below, with commentary beneath it.
 Duplantis showed three planes, including one purchased in 1994, 2004, and 2006. He then showed the Starship Enterprise, which is what he wants eventually. Currently, however, Duplantis will settle for his Falcon 7x. According to Duplantis, Jesus told him that if he wanted to “come up to where he is,” he needs to purchase a Falcon 7x jet.
That’s right. If Duplantis wants to go to where Jesus is, he needs a Falcon 7x.
The Dassault Falcon 7x is a 5,955-mile range large-cabin jet. Its price is about $35 million dollars. There are about 260 Falcon 7x jets on the market. Duplantis says he needs it to “preach the Gospel to every creature” and says that if Jesus was alive today he wouldn’t be traveling on a donkey.

Rodney Howard Browne is the infamous “Holy Ghost Bartender,” the charismatic prophet who became famous by acting drunk under the supposed influence of the Holy Spirit and mesmerizing the crowd who would similarly act drunk and out of control. You can watch his drunkenness below.
I attended a Rodney Howard Browne event in Dickinson, North Dakota, in October of last year. Browne regaled the crowd with tales of false prophecy and vast conspiracy theories. He likened President Trump to the Messiah several times. After a solid hour of talking about the New World Order, I eventually interrupted the preachers and pointed out there hadn’t been any gospel (it turned out about like you would think).
In the meantime, Browne is out with a new book about the New World Order, and he went on Alex Jones’ Info Wars to shill the book. And that’s a whole lot of crazy in one place.
There was no Gospel whatsoever, but like the event in Dickinson, North Dakota with Browne, there was lots of conspiracy talk. You can watch below.

LITTLE GIRL BLASPHEMES GOD, “CALLS DOWN THE RAIN”


funnel

If you’ve never heard of Rodney Howard Browne, that’s probably a good thing. His church, in Tampa, FL, is a New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) charismatic church that regularly blasphemes the Holy Spirit. Recently, at Browne’s church, a little girl that appears to be about 12 years old took the stage to “preach” to the congregation. During the seven minute video, this girl repeatedly tells her audience to “be a funnel,” and to hold their hands up in the air, because they can’t receive the water unless your “funnel is open.”
There is no mention at all of Jesus Christ in this so-called sermon. This entire charade is pure blasphemy. You can see the audience getting into it, while Browne, himself, is standing on the stage directing this young child into this sinful idolatry. He tells her to “speak in tongues,” in which she began to babble the same, unintelligible nonsense over and over, in what appears to be a drunken stupor with her eyes squinted and a peculiar slurred speech (did they slip something in her drink?), while she was cheered on, and told that this is “how it’s done,” and “what it’s about.”
One thing we can be certain about is that this little girl was, sadly, not receiving an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, but of a completely foreign spirit altogether. This is not of God. While they may have been “funneling” something, it wasn’t blessings from God.
Unless Browne repents, he’s going to have a rude awakening some day when he realizes what he’s done.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. – Luke 17:2

JEN HATMAKER TO BE BAPTIZED EPISCOPALIAN BY PRO GAY BISHOP, & BETH MOORE LOVES IT!

JEN HATMAKER TO BE BAPTIZED EPISCOPALIAN BY PRO GAY BISHOP, 
& BETH MOORE LOVES IT!
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
The comment might have been made tongue-in-cheek, watching the boisterous American bishop give an irreverent sermon at the royal wedding between Harry Mountbatten-Windsor and Meghan Markle. However, the pro-gay women’s conference speaker, Jen Hatmaker, might not have been kidding. 
Hatmaker came out in affirmation of sodomy in April of 2016, demanding that churches accept and approve of both homosexuality and homosexuals in a Facebook post. This followed up on a 2014 comment by Hatmaker, regarding the brief World Vision gay employment scandal, that the Bible was not sufficiently clear on the topic of sodomy. After the April 2016 Facebook post, Hatmaker went on to do an interview with homosexual journalist, Jonathan Merritt, and definitively embraced sodomy, which finally received the attention of the mainstream Christian news and caused a bit of controversy. It takes a lot of heresy to have Lifeway pull your books, and Hatmaker crossed that threshold, which is not an easy feat to do.

Michael Curry, Episcopal Bishop
However, Lifeway’s highest-selling Cash Cow of Bashan, Beth Moore, has repeatedly stood up for Hatmaker in defiance to her paramours and peddlers at the Southern Baptist retailer. As we explained in October of 2017, Beth Moore has been one of the few remaining evangelical voices who have stood loud and proud with Hatmaker since her open support for sodomy and sodomy-based relationships. The two regularly share positive and affirming exchanges in social media, without a hint of criticism from Moore to the heretical Hatmaker.
Hatmaker’s comment over the weekend came apparently from an appreciation for Michael Curry, who delivered a jovial and ethnic-themed homily for the royal wedding. Acting as a jester before the royal court, the Episcopal bishop entertained with his folksy humor, which drew laughter and guffaws from the crowd of high-society Britain that attended the affair. Curry also laced his message with numerous points of political correctness and progressivism, which is for what Curry is best known.
Curry is the presiding bishop of the Episcopal church and focuses his messages primarily on social justice, gay rights, and environmentalism. The U.S. Episcopal Church is one of only two Anglican churches worldwide that allow gay marriage, and much of that is due to the ‘leadership’ of Curry. He has repeatedly compared the plight of pre-Civil Rights black men and women to the struggle of the LGBTQ today.Curry told the New York Times in 2016, for example:What I was attempting to do was to describe the deep pain for L.G.B.T. folk who’ve had to live with not being accepted by the church of Jesus Christ. And sometimes by families and loved ones, and by society. I wanted my brothers to know that our actions would bring them real pain. I said, anytime anybody is excluded, it hurts. I can tell you in all honesty my brothers listened. They did listen.
And so, having blessed a myriad of gay “marriages,” Curry blessed the union of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This should be enough to make most Christians utter John 11:35.
For Hatmaker, though, it was enough to make her want to join the Episcopal church.
She said on Twitter, “I think I just became Episcopalian and I need to know if [Michael Curry] will baptize me and administer the sacraments.”
Bishop Michael Curry responded, “The Episcopal Church welcomes you!” This, of course, is not surprising, considering that the Episcopal church would welcome literally everyone, regardless of the content of their character or soundness of their theology. By the time you’re ordaining sodomites, you’ve already passed the turn-off for heretical lady preachers. Being warmly welcomed by the Episcopal church is like being warmly welcomed under a bridge overpass sheltering a homeless community and shantytown; they take anyone, and so it’s not a compliment.
While it shouldn’t surprise us that Hatmaker, who has largely been confined to extremely liberal quarters in evangelicalism (although she is quoted in the news more than ever) and her speaking platforms shrunk terribly, would find the Episcopal church to be an envious place, it should surprise us that one of the leading ladies in supposedly conservative evangelicalism would “like” Hatmaker’s comment. After all, Beth Moore is speaking at the upcoming women’s meeting at the 2018 Southern Baptist Pastor’s Conference. This is a woman whose material is heavily promoted (and published)  by the Southern Baptist-owned Lifeway Christian Resources.
Some might argue that Moore liked Hatmaker’s comment because it was only a joke (although again, to be honest, who knows?). We might then ask Moore exactly what about Michael Curry and the Episcopal church is funny. Or, we might ask Moore exactly what about Jen Hatmaker is funny. We might ask Moore what about any of this is funny. It’s not funny; it’s John 11:35-type sad.
Actual Christians – the real kind – are fed-up with the herd of cows from Bashan in the evangelical industrial complex who have no business leading women or teaching theology. We are tired of the back-slapping and bad doctrine. We are tired of the thinly veiled feminism cloaked in the language of empowerment. And most of all, we are tired of Beth Moore.

JANET MEFFERD TAKES ON KAREN SWALLOW PRIOR; ASKS WHEN SHE’LL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

JANET MEFFERD TAKES ON KAREN SWALLOW PRIOR; ASKS WHEN SHE’LL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

Pulpit & Pen was the first to sound the alarm bell about the gay-affirming research fellow at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention, Karen Swallow Prior (KSP). In our post, Gay Affirming Research Fellow at ERLC, Shocking Liberalism, we explained that Swallow Prior exhibited behavior, associations, and speech that was affirming to those who had and practiced Same Sex Attraction (SSA). James White soon-after confirmed, in his opinion, that Swallow Prior had used gay-affirming language in her writing. Pulpit & Pen took the full brunt of wrath from many in evangelicalism who saw the feminist leader as a benign novelty, with at least one Pulpit & Pen contributor resigning due to our explicitly and meticulously documented claims. Thankfully, many have gone on to see that KSP is exactly who we have claimed her to be. One of these is syndicated radio host, Janet Mefferd.

KSP on the red carpet with her “gay besties” at the Level Ground LGBT Fundraiser
To recap our research regarding KSP, who is both a research fellow at the ERLC and an English Literature professor at Liberty University:
KSP regularly associates with and wrote for Sojourner’s Magazine, the publication that has financially benefited from the politically-oriented cash of George Soros.
KSP “chose not to take a side on the gay marriage issue.”
KSP has been cited by gay activists as their inspiration.
KSP promoted the “It Gets Better Campaign,” which affirms LGBTQ youth in their homosexuality.
KSP attended the “Level Ground” LGBT fundraising event, using soft and compromising terms to speak of the sin of homosexuality.
(All of the above were cited from primary sources in this post)
Likewise, other facts came to light about KSP:
KSP promotes illegal immigration (follow this link for primary sources).
KSP promotes gay Black Lives Matter activists (follow this link for primary sources).
KSP said that abortion was not murder and calling abortion murder is unchristlike (follow this link for primary sources).
KSP demanded an end to industrialized farming and modern animal husbandry, even if it destroys the economy and people suffer as a result (follow this link for primary sources).
KSP was chosen as a Change Agent in evangelical circles for radical animal rights by animal rights groups as early as 2007 (follow this link for primary sources).
KSP promoted Fun Home, gay erotic propaganda (follow this link for primary sources).
KSP congratulated Rachel Held Evans and lauded her appointment to Obama’s White House council (follow this link for primary sources).
And if those aren’t enough, there are many more links here. In spite of the evidence, the social media socialite is still supported by many in the “Reformed” blogosphere including Kofi Adu Boahen, Mr. and Mrs. Erin Harding, and more. For some, digging-in seems to be a hobby.
For Janet Mefferd and her recent guest, Tom Littleton, however, they knew exactly the role that KSP was playing in the current Tet Offensive of Social Justice Warriors who are hell-bent on replacing the Gospel of Grace for the gospel of justice. You can listen below to what is a very, very good podcast conversation between Littleton and Mefferd.
Karen Swallow Prior is mentioned in two different timestamps; the first is at 15:22.
Littleton says (at roughly 15:22):
The ERLC fellow, Karen Swallow Prior, has come out and endorsed [social justice garbage]. This is Russell Moore’s gal-pal who he found up at Liberty and she has already been on the fringes with the LGBT and some of their entertainment celebrations. So, we’re already seeing this mainlined in the SBC and PCA churches that are under the influence of the Gospel coalition.
Mefferd later adds (at 21:07):
At what point, when you see all of the tentacles going off in an event like this and touching repeatedly on people from The Gospel Coalition and the [ERLC] of the Southern Baptist Convention, at what point do those leaders have to answer for all the garbage they’re involved in?…Karen Swallow Prior, a research fellow at ERLC. At what point do these leaders need to answer to the people.
It was a fantastic episode from Mrs. Mefferd, and you should really listen. However, if you want to hear us say these same things more than three years ago, you can listen to old podcasts of the Polemics Report at Bible Thumping Wingnut.

ROBERT SPENCER’S NEW DOCUMENTARY MOVIE: “KILLING EUROPE” IN FULL

ROBERT SPENCER’S NEW DOCUMENTARY MOVIE: “KILLING EUROPE” IN FULL
I funded this movie myself because I feel its got an important message that needs to get out. If you liked the movie and would like to help me do more projects, you can donate at https://www.paypal.me/weare138product…
The production an distribution of this important documentary about the effects of mass Muslim migration into Europe has been fraught with difficulties. Clearly this is news that the political elites don’t want widely known. I received this email this morning from the film’s producer, Michael Hansen:
I am the film maker who produced the movie “Killing Europe.”
I have met with a lot of resistance in trying to get this movie out to people. Baroness Caroline Cox even requested the movie taken down and re-edited, as she retracted the interview she gave for the film. I have had several screenings shut down, and in Canada I’m not even allowed to talk about the shutdowns. This short video will explain in detail these issues and how they even shut down a speech that was suppose to be about the shutdown…that’s right, they censored a speech that was about how they censored my movie.
In light of all these attempts to censor the movie and censor me even talking about it, I have decided to put the movie out for free on YouTube.

UK: TOMMY ROBINSON WILL BE THE UK’S TIPPING POINT 

BY JOSHUA WINSTON
SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/05/tommy-robinson-will-be-the-uks-tipping-pointrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
I remember cycling through the streets of South London on that blood-soaked day five years ago when Lee Rigby was killed. Riot vans screamed and hurtled past me. I’d no idea what was going on. It wasn’t until I got home that I saw there was an attempt at a beheading on the streets of South London, which explained the riot vans. I was traumatized, along with any other normal and sane human being who watched the murder unfold. The raised and bloodied hands of the devout Muslim who tried to behead Lee. The knife. The interview he gave.
I watched the news very closely in the ensuing days and shook my head with disbelief at the falsehoods that were being spread by the media and other Muslims. They were saying things like, “The killers were not true Muslims,” and that the killers’ motivations were a “misinterpretation of a beautiful religion.” All of this nonsense spouted by media and politicians alike. It was as though they were reading off a script. Lee’s killers had been mobile in Woolwich and their associates were still on the streets. Questions had to be answered, and there were more jihadists to be rounded up. I expected people to demand answers and not rest until we had them, but instead there was some graffiti sprayed here, some name-calling occurring there, and life carried on as usual.
I never expected to see the likes of it again, not on a UK street in broad daylight, but we’ve had less public beheadings in London since then, as well as car jihads and random, multiple stabbings. After each Islamic terrorist atrocity, I keep wondering, WHAT will tip the scales? We are becoming inured to terrorism and bloodshed. Terror attacks are as normal an event as a clock ticking in the UK today. And after each one, we have the moronic lefties spouting utter nonsense such as, “We Londoners will carry on as normal.” Well, of course we will. What else can we do? We aren’t all going to carry out a mass exodus of the city or lock ourselves indoors. But how about the illogical left start thinking of ways to thwart jihadists and extremists, instead of stepping aside and letting them carry on with their barbaric ways?
What will make the people rise up out of their armchairs and realise that hashtags and candles and politicians aren’t fixing the problem? I was still wondering what the tipping point would be until Saturday, 26th May, 2018, when I went to a Free Tommy rally outside of 10 Downing Street. Tommy Robinson is the answer to my question. Tommy Robinson’s well-being will be the tipping point in the UK for authorities, police and politicians, and if they’re smart they’ll take notice of this. The energy and the passion at Downing Street and the anger was palpable at the doorstep of our current MP’s offices. There was a line-up of about 5 right-leaning MPs and others lined up to address the crowd and put forward their own opinions and inform and motivate us. But the crowd was not in a mood to listen, not even to people who are on our side. The consensus seemed to be that enough talking had been done. It was now time for action, and we had all the motivation that we needed – Tommy’s well-being – and we wanted the parliamentarians to be sure they heard us, so we shouted as loud as we could.
After the first man addressed the crowd, we surged forward to the black iron gates of Number 10, which are manned by police with machine guns. A couple of men tried to scale the fence, and I feared they would get shot. One of them opened a bottle of beer and sprayed it over the policemen and threw the bottle at one of them. It was clear the armed cops had orders to stand down, or at least put up with a certain amount of violence from us. We blocked the roads, stopped the traffic, and we chanted for about four hours. A thousand and more of us with less than 24 hours’ notice. Imagine what we will accomplish with a week’s notice and an action plan. It’s time for the authorities to take note. If Tommy Robinson isn’t released from prison and allowed to go about his business and enjoy the same protection and human rights and dignity as Anjem Choudary was afforded, then the authorities need to realise that Tommy represents We the People, and We the People have had enough.
If the government were at all smart and strategic, they would hire Tommy Robinson as an adviser on terrorism. He has consistently identified extremists, because he grew up among them in Luton. He has consistently told us the names of the mosques that are churning out radicals, as well as naming the imams. He has been right time after time, and instead of hiring Tommy (whose information could contribute to keeping us all safe), our government bent down to the MCB and MEND, both of whom have ties to extremists. All of this is okay with our government, because these Muslim organisations bring with them the Muslim voting bloc, and so the parliamentary doors are flung wide open to them at the same time that our liberties get thrown out the window. Or else the government is too busy monitoring extremists, keeping a supposed eye on them while they gather intel rather than locking them up. It serves you well to remember that Lee Rigby’s killer was under observation, as were the London Bridge attackers. No more monitoring – lock them up where they can’t radicalize anyone else, and where they can’t commit acts of carnage.
The treatment of Tommy Robinson will be the tipping point for the people of the UK. If the government are smart, they’ll realize this. We the People, have had enough. No more listening to lies and excuses. It’s time to do right by Tommy, and time to do right by us.

MARX IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

MARX IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
False teaching has entered the Church like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, masquerading as “Social Justice”, but bearing sharp teeth of division concealed behind puckered up lips. The wolf is intent to tear the Church apart, ripping and pulling wherever it can. It finds especially vulnerable issues wherever worldly culture has Christians thinking wrongly.
Those sensitive places will open up deadly wounds and sharp divides in the Church unless someone kicks the teeth out of the wolf. That’s what pastors need to do. Call us shepherds. This article is one pastor’s attempt to neutralize a wolf that has been wreaking havoc in the evangelical Church recently.
Let’s pull the mask off the wolf and see if we can recognize who’s under there.
Who is it that always seeks to steal, kill, and destroy? We know that to be the devil. But what worldly philosophy did Satan use to kill upwards of one hundred million people in the last century? That would be called Marxism.
Marxism is, at the root, an attempt to divide the world between oppressed and oppressor (supposing to make things better for the oppressed), which, ironically, achieves its divisive end when those in power become the most oppressive force the world has ever seen.
By God’s grace, America defeated Marxism last century. But Marxism never truly went away. It just stopped trying to overthrow our government from the outside. Now Marxism works its way into American culture to accomplish its ends more slowly. Call that “Cultural Marxism.”
Cultural Marxism “is a revolutionary leftist idea that traditional culture is the source of oppression in the modern world. Cultural Marxism is often linked to an insistence upon political correctness, multiculturalism, and perpetual attacks on the foundations of culture: the nuclear family, marriage, patriotism, traditional morality, law, and order, etc.” (Source).
To understand Cultural Marxism, one must consider it’s progenitor—Marxism.
The Marxist worldview is built upon two presuppositions, both of them wrong.
First, Marxists assume that human beings are essentially morally neutral, born “tabula rosa” (blank slate). As Immanuel Kant theorized, bad behavior in humans is culturally conditioned, not innate to the human condition. Marx and his followers picked up on that. Therefore, they reasoned, if we could only transform society, then people would behave well and ultimately thrive, prosper, and be happy under the improved conditions.
Second, Marxists assume that society as we know it (that is, Western capitalistic society) is fundamentally a class struggle between the rich oppressors and the poor oppressed. The Bourgeoisie own most of the wealth and means of production. They are the oppressors. The Proletariat lack those privileges. They are the oppressed. From these presuppositions (optimistic anthropology and victimology) rings forth the cry for Revolution.
Cultural Marxism keeps the presuppositions but lays the Marxist solution of Communist Revolution to the side.
It still aims for more-evenly distributed economic outcomes. But it doesn’t seek to overthrow society in one fell swoop to make that happen. It is content to work along the edges, moving the boundary between rich and poor a little at a time. But the dichotomy between rich and poor remains. Never mind that wealth is an unbroken spectrum. To the Cultural Marxist, wherever the line between them is to be drawn, there is still a division between rich and poor, which is still characterized as a division between oppressor and oppressed.
But the insidious genius of the Cultural Marxists is that they have taken their oppressor/oppressed presupposition outside of the confines of wealth and the means of production and recruited “allies” from across the spectrum of society. Wherever there are differences among people, the Cultural Marxists swoop in with their oppressor/oppressed construct and force that construct upon the differences, casting everything within this narrative of victimization.
So, Cultural Marxism is not limited to financial concerns. It is just as concerned, and probably more concerned, with issues of race, gender, sexuality, and government. The second presupposition of Marxism—the classification of people as either oppressed or oppressor—is now being applied more broadly by Cultural Marxists.
The oppression that is keeping good people from utopia is no longer just the unfairness of capitalism
Whereby those who have wealth and the means of production are able to produce more and more wealth, while the have-nots are forced to work their tails off without the prospect of enjoying very much benefit from their hard work. Now, under Cultural Marxism, oppression is the unfairness of being black in a white world, female in a patriarchal world, an LGBTQ+ minority in a heterosexual world, an “undocumented” immigrant in a xenophobic world. Cultural Marxism marshals allies from a broad spectrum of society, wherever differences, especially minority status, could be called into question and the oppressor/oppressed construct forced upon the difference.
So widespread is the use of the victimization construct that individuals actually begin to categorize the ways (that’s plural) they are victims, ranking them and weighing them against the victimization of others!
This concept is called “intersectionality.”  The question becomes how the interplay of multiple layers of oppression affect a person. So, white, male, heterosexual, wealthy, American citizens get zero oppression points. Their oppressor ranking is necessarily very high. Conversely, a black, female, gay, poor, immigrant gets off-the-charts oppression points. Her oppression status is a multiplier—victim to the fifth power. She would be an uber-victim, deserving of uber-rights and uber-reparations.
Now, if proponents of intersectionality were rational and sincere, they would realize that there are literally as many ways to divide humanity as there are people on the planet (they would arrive at the individualism upon which Western civilization is based!). The relative privileges of any individual born into this world involves too many factors to calculate. For example, what if our white male above is devastatingly ugly. How will that affect his ability to get jobs, or get married? What if our black female is born with an incredibly high IQ of 190? How will that affect her ability to get jobs, or get married?
What if one or the other of them is extremely tall or short? What if one has Bipolar Disorder? What if the other is predisposed to pancreatic cancer? What if one is lactose intolerant? What if one has an abusive father? What if one has a loving father and a loving mother, who spend time with them in the home and who raise them to love the Lord Jesus Christ with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love their neighbor as themselves? How will those factors affect the outcomes of their lives? What we are given, and what we are not, is—in fact—determined by God, who is both just and free.
The problem that our culture and our churches are encountering nowadays in the areas of race, gender, sexuality, wealth, and government are not as the Cultural Marxists presuppose.
There is not widespread implicit bias. There are not micro-aggressions constantly being perpetrated by the dominant race, dominant gender, dominant sexuality, dominant financial class, and dominant American citizen.
There are not even two identifiable groupings by race, sexuality, wealth, or nationality. Gender is a God-ordained binary, but the others are not. All of these other classifications involve spectrums, not binaries. For example, contra the assertions of Critical Race Theory, there is no such thing as “black” and “white” people. If there were, then Barak Obama would be as much “white” as he is “black”, since his mom was one and his dad was the other.
But to maintain the binary, Critical Race Theory makes the ridiculous assertion that anyone having even one drop of blood with African descent makes a person “black”. And, of course, the Cultural Marxists go on to assert that “whites” are oppressing “blacks”. Such thinking is not biblical. It is Marxist. The problem is not “implicit bias” whereby two groups always exist and the dominant always oppresses the sub-dominant. In truth, the problem is called “Cultural Marxism”, and it has an ugly offspring called “intersectionality.”
It has been sad to watch how successful Cultural Marxism has been in American culture. Sadder still is the reality that it is working its way into the Church. Amazingly, even some of our best teachers don’t seem to recognize it. But listen to their conferences, read their books, hear their sermons, and the sad reality will soon be seen. Well-dressed in sheep’s clothing, a wolf called Marxism has entered our building. Let’s unmask this wolf and clear the Church of it the way Jesus cleared the Temple.

PARIS VIOLENCE: THOUSANDS OF PROTESTORS HIT STREETS FOR ANTI MACRON RALLY~RIOTS IN BERLIN, GERMANY TOO!

PARIS VIOLENCE: PROTESTORS HIT STREETS FOR ANTI MACRON RALLY 
Paris demonstrations against Macron’s social policies turned violent on Tuesday as protesters hurled projectiles at police and broke shop windows. Officers deployed tear gas and detained several protestors.
‘You can’t buy France!’: Thousands rally against Macron’s reforms 
France’s President Macron may have been talking up his ‘people-focused policies’ in recent days, but, in Paris, thousands have rallied against his reforms. RT’s Charlotte Dubenskij was there, as the protest became increasingly agitated.
Germany: Thousands take to Berlin streets 
against AfD demo
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets to protest against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) demonstration in Berlin on Sunday, reportedly vastly outnumbering AfD supporters.

Local media estimated the number of pro and anti AfD protesters at 25,000.

Supporters of the AfD reached their destination at the Brandenburg Gate, but were met by counter protesters on all sides. Riot police stood in guard between the two sides. At least one counter protester was detained with no further information on what grounds.

According to German media, more than 2,000 police officers were deployed including K9 units and police officers on horses.
