Christian Nationalist Group in Mississippi is building a Pentagon.

 


The American family Association, based out of here in Mississippi, is looking to establish a center "like a Pentagon" in order to further efforts of Christian Nationalism. The announcement with a plea for donations (something Wildmon, the founder, has been doing many many many years) Part of the description says "Like the Pentagon in Washington, the Don Wildmon Center will serve as command central as we combat the forces that seek to destroy Christian influence in America and overthrow the founding principles of our republic."

If you look at other parts of the website the "action alerts" are just a litany of far right wing agendas. They "hold to a form of godliness but deny the power thereof." (II Tim 3) (Which is, in essence, a foundation of what "Christian Nationalism" is) Link is Here: https://www.afa.net/donwildmoncenter?fbclid=IwAR0VA9LSIgBqlxhLxEonnuEfw5bXBimVo6e9vGzP-WCmDVzDTLBiKmm5j9Y

Chris Wallace announced yesterday that after 18 years, today was his last time hosting
. Wallace: "I have decided to leave FOX. I want to try something new."
Wallace was one of the better Fox News anchors....probably the best at holding people accountable then anyone else at Fox right now. Scary now to think who they will dredge up to replace him.

Louisiana resident, Anne Rice, American author of gothic fiction (gothic novel Interview with the Vampire) has died at the age of 80. According to her son, the writer passed away on Saturday due to complications resulting from a stroke.

Rand Paul is on the record saying he does NOT want the government to interfere in his or any other state for any reason.
Rand Paul is now demanding the US government give them all the help they can because of the tornadoes the other night. But, thats kind of the way all the GOP governors act. They talk tough about how they want nothing from the government...but then when Governor Abbott needed help after that electrical black out in Texas he did not turn down the government help....and Governor Ron DeSantis didnt turn down the aid when those buildings collapsed in Florida.

The Fascist Republic of Texas


If there ever becomes a Republic of Texas it will be ruled like a fascist dictator would rule, with media control especially prominent.
But, for now, a federal judge in Austin blocked Texas' social media censorship law, which prohibits large social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter from censoring users "based on their political viewpoints." The law, known as House Bill 20, was signed by Gov. Greg Abbott on Sept. 9 and set to take effect Thursday.
I cant help but expect the possibility that 2022 is going to be a very dangerous year around November.   https://www.twobitsmedia.us/greg-abbott.html

Wendy Davis is More Excitement than Substance

Since announcing her candidacy for governor, however, Wendy Davis has seemingly made little headway against Abbott. Fresh evidence of the mountain she must climb came with the release of the latest fundraising reports. She continues to raise substantial amounts of money, but with a little more than 100 days to go before Election Day, her campaign says it has about $12 million to $13 million in the bank. Abbott’s campaign has about $36 million.

Davis has generated considerable enthusiasm, attracting donations from about 140,000 contributors, according to her campaign. Her advisers say the excitement around her campaign is real — in Texas and nationally — but there are concerns that the roughly three-to-one gap in cash on hand and her own performance as a candidate could discourage some of her biggest donors from stepping up with more in the final months.

Davis is not blameless about the situation in which she finds herself. She has not delivered a clear or consistent message. As many or more people have an unfavorable view of her as have a favorable view, and that’s without Abbott running any negative ads against her.
Jeremy Bird, who set up Battleground Texas, said there is a path to victory for Davis: turning out registered minority voters who often stay home; registering unregistered minority voters; and attracting the support of suburban white women. She will do better among African Americans and Hispanics than the polls now show, he said.

Her advisers see opportunities. Abbott, they argue, is more conservative and less skilled as a politician than the man he seeks to replace, Gov. Rick Perry, and has been thrown on the defensive repeatedly during the campaign. The Republican Party of Texas continues to shift to the right, potentially alienating some more moderate voters. By October, they argue, the race will look different.
Republicans say conservative Texas will never warm to Davis’s brand of politics. Dave Carney, top strategist for the Abbott campaign, described the Davis operation as having become a campaign of news releases, sophomoric tactics and some fuzzy math. But he also said of the race, “There’s not a single person . . . taking this for granted.”
