Party Controlling Executive, Legislative Branches Blames Minority Party For Everything Going Wrong: Babylon Bee

Satire: WASHINGTON, D.C.—A spokesman for the Democrat party announced today that despite his party holding the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress, Republicans are to blame for their failure to pass any meaningful legislation so far this year. “Those pesky Republicans have foiled our plans again,” said Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer. “I mean, sure, we have the majority of the votes, but the Republicans just aren’t playing ball. They’re supposed to vote with us, just like we’ve always voted with them when they were in the majority.”

Texas City Becomes Latest to Ban Abortion, Passes ‘Sanctuary for the Unborn’ Ordinance: Epoch Times

Mark Lee Dickson, the head with Right To Life of East Texas and founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn initiative, told Life News that the vote is “a victory for the unborn” as well as for women who received abortions when they were younger but regretted it. She cited Levelland resident Kati Morris’s testimony. Morris, who helped lead the effort in Levelland, told Texas Scorecard: “I had an abortion many years ago, 30 miles away in Lubbock, and that abortion devastated my life … Abortion does not help women, it destroys women and takes the life of their children. What community needs that as an option for the people of their community?” …The nearby city of Lubbock approved a similar ordinance on May 1. Planned Parenthood challenged Lubbock’s ordinance in court, which was dismissed by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, who argued that Planned Parenthood lacked jurisdiction.

Florida County Citizens Demand Bill of Rights Sanctuary Ordinance: ‘Have the Courage to Do What Is Right’ – Epoch Times

Of the 67 counties in the state of Florida, 42 have already adopted Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions. However, Collier County may be the first to pass an ordinance protecting all freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights. …“It scares me that the First Amendment is okay for some but not for all,” recent high school graduate Jacob Wagganer told the board, sharing that his grandparents emigrated from Fidel Castro’s Cuba. “That’s my biggest problem, especially for conservatives in the era of cancel culture. It’s really scary what’s going on in this country.”

The Systemic Con Behind Wokeism: Epoch Times Commentary, Victor Davis Hanson

Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other isms. For some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection: transferring one’s own prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them. So should we laugh or cry that Black Lives Matter’s self-described Marxist co-founder might be a corporate grifter? According to a New York Post report, Patrisse Khan-Cullors has accumulated several upscale homes, and one of her foundations failed to report significant donations to the IRS. Is it the case that the more Khan-Cullors professes Marxist ideology and damns toxic whiteness, the more she feels comfortable living in a $1.4 million home in Southern California’s ritzy Topanga Canyon area?

Biden, Pelosi Could Be Denied Communion After US Catholic Bishops’ Vote: Epoch Times

Catholic bishops based in the United States voted to approve the drafting of a “teaching document” that may rebuke President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and others for their support of abortion.

More than 73 percent of bishops—or 168 to 55 with six abstentions—this week cast their ballots during a U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) conference to report on the meaning of the Eucharist in the church. The move could potentially set up the denial of communion to Biden, Pelosi, and other elected officials who are Catholic. …Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, said on Thursday that many Catholics are confused about a president who attends Mass regularly but supports “the most radical pro-abortion agenda in history.”

Romans 7:9 Commentary For Consideration

Thoughts from Bible commentators John Gill and Albert Barnes are used to explain Romans 7:9 and to reveal the state of professed believers before true conversion. These statements further clarify what other posts in this blog explain: those posts are The Sinner’s Prayer; The Beatitude Life; and posts that contain Jonathan Edwards 5 stages of the Struggle of Faith. These will be linked for those who have not yet seen them. Ultimately, all these posts confront the false doctrine of decisionism used broadly by evangelicalism during the past 120 years, under which many wrongly believe themselves to be converted

Critical Race Theory Feud on Full Display at School Board Meeting: Epoch Times

…He said that he had attended the equity training three times: March 2020, fall 2020, and spring 2021. He and other teachers were told early in the activity that “cultural competence was eventually going to be part of our evaluation process.” “To me, that meant ‘accept it. Or this could affect how we grade you and your job performance.’ It seems like it will lead to firing if they need to.” …“What we’re doing is we’re shining the light on what this board is doing. This board has had a secret enemies list. And the enemies list is designed to intimidate and to punish people who stand up against critical race theory and who stand up against this transgender madness that’s going on,” Black told The Epoch Times. “So anyway, I gave my speech. And when I gave the speech, everybody just went crazy. And the board retreated.”

Texas Governor Announces Special Legislative Session on Voting and Critical Race Theory Bills: Epoch Times

The voting measure would grant more power to poll watchers by giving them more access inside polling areas, while creating new penalties against election officials who restrict poll watchers’ movements. The proposal would also allow a judge to void the outcome of an election if the number of fraudulent votes could change the result. …Abbott’s other priority legislation deals with how bail is handled, according to his recent comments to news outlets. The proposed measure, which was also killed by House Democrats last month, would make it more difficult for people who are arrested to bond out of jail without providing cash. [In cast you are unaware of the bail-reform bill in NYC and elsewhere, a criminal is released without bail after being arrested, one man in NYC robbed 4 banks in one day because he wasn’t held after the first crime. This necessarily creates chaos in communities where it is used. It seems to be just another way in which the left is destroying America so it can be rebuilt as a socialist nation]
