8 Jan 2022 Michael A

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said on Jan. 5 that he would push for a state law to loosen requirements for state residents to carry a handgun in public. … “In the face of rising violent crime across the country, law-abiding citizens should have their constitutional rights protected, not undermined… I believe the United States Constitution grants the citizens of our state the right to carry a firearm without state government approval.” …Lt. Col. Willis Lee, vice president of the NRA, said Georgia should become the 22nd state to enact constitutional carry. “The Second Amendment is most important in the face of leftist policies, foisted by leftist politicians and judges. And as long as there are anti-American anti-gun zealots who try to take our civil rights…

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Tuesday announced a new benefits program to help fund eligible families that may not otherwise be able to afford to move their children to schools that stay open for in-person instructions.

4 Jan 2022 Michael A

The Global Imams Council (GIC) of Muslim faith leaders on Dec. 30 banned followers of Islam from participating in and attending the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing the oppression of Uyghurs in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region. The GIC is the world’s first and largest transnational non-governmental body of Muslim religious leaders from all Islamic denominations and schools of thought, with over 1,300 members worldwide, according to its website. …“We stand in support of, and united with, the oppressed Uyghur Muslims. …Uyghurs—the majority of whom are Sunni Muslim—alongside other ethnic minorities such as Tibetans—the majority of whom are Buddhist—as well as believers of other faiths, such as house Christians and Falun Gong adherents, have long been targeted by the CCP and its atheistic social policies for transformation through “thought reeducation,” also known as brainwashing.

School Board ‘Shenanigans’ Inspire Greater Interest Among Parents to Vote in Midterm Elections – Epoch Times

24 Dec 2021 Michael A

“Glenn Youngkin’s victory in Virginia was led by frustrated parents who were fed up with an education system that neglected the needs of their children,” McCarthy told The Epoch Times. “It is just one snapshot of the same frustration that has been, and continues to be, felt by millions of families nationwide.”
According to McCarthy, parents are facing school board officials who are “more interested in appeasing liberal activists and teachers’ unions than they are in bettering the educational experience of students. “In my home state of California, there has been a recent push to ‘de-emphasize calculus’ and include more ‘social justice’ in math. Parents across the country have voiced concerns about inappropriate literature on school bookshelves. Unexpected threats of school closures continue to loom, and this is all happening in the midst of a push to decrease parental involvement in education. This is wrong—that is why House Republicans will ensure protecting parents’ involvement in education will be a critical component of our ’22 platform.”

California was the second biggest loser, around us 250K or so, followed by Illinois. “When you add in others like Michigan, about a million have departed blue states in 2021.”

Why Is the Left Suddenly Worried About the End of Democracy? – Epoch Times Commentary

18 Dec 2021 Michael A

To answer that question, understand first what is not behind these shrill forecasts. They are not worried about 2 million foreign nationals crashing the border in a single year, without vaccinations during a pandemic. They are not worried that some 800,000 foreign nationals, some residing illegally, will now vote in New York City elections. They are not worried that there are formal efforts underway to dismantle the U.S. Constitution by junking the 233-year-old Electoral College… After the Russian collusion hoax, two impeachments, the Hunter Biden laptop stories, the staged melodramas of the Kavanaugh hearings, the Jussie Smollett con, the Covington kids smear, and the Rittenhouse trial race frenzy, the people are not just worn out by leftist hysterias, but they also weary of how the Left gains power and administers it.

Parents Erupt at California School Board Meeting Over Alleged ‘Coaching’ of Students Into LGBTQ Club – Epoch Times

18 Dec 2021 Michael A

A mixed crowd of more than 150 people packed a school board meeting in Salinas, Calif., on Dec. 15 as frustrated parents clashed with supporters of two teachers accused of subverting parents and recruiting middle school students into a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club. Jessica Konen, one of about 30 people who spoke during an extended public comment period, told the board that school staff indoctrinated her child and usurped her parental authority. Konen blasted the board and accused teachers and staff of coaching her gender dysphoric daughter through the Equality Club, an LGBTQ+ support group now called the You Be You (UBU) Club at Buena Vista Middle School. “I stand here today in front of all of you because I am outraged. Is this really barely coming to light? Are you guys serious?” she said. “How could you even allow this? How could you even have this meeting to question it? How dare you let these teachers come in and act as if they have done nothing wrong? A mistake? How long of a mistake?”

Why Christians Must Prepare For The Metaverse – American Faith

16 Dec 2021 Michael A

(GAB News) The tech oligarchs are all in on the “metaverse” as the new system of enslavement and control. The metaverse is an immersive virtual world where people will be working, playing, and existing. The theory is they put on a headset and slip away into virtual “reality” where they will spend all of their time. Mark Zuckerberg is so invested in making this vision come to life that he has renamed Facebook’s parent company to “Meta” and has dramatically shifted the entire mission of his company. Disney’s CEO called it “the future” this week and is foaming at the mouth at the thought of having your kids plugged into a Disney “reality” every hour of the day.

What I’ve learned rescuing my daughter from her transgender fantasy – American Faith

15 Dec 2021 Michael A

My daughter’s story is no longer novel. Stories like it are occurring in your state, your town, and perhaps even on your street. Gender dysphoria—the incongruence between the mind and the body—moves stealthily and quickly to invade girls and boys alike. But this isn’t a cautionary tale. It’s a warning. …I followed the advice of Parents for Ethical Care’s podcasts and the book “Desist, Detrans & Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult” by Maria Keffler. I worked hard to take back the close relationship my daughter and I had once had. I bit my tongue until it bled. I took her anger and only responded with love or walked away when I knew I would respond poorly.
