CBN passes itself off as a reputable Christian web site...but, clearly, they have an agenda that is not Christian at all


 An article posted on the CBN web site is titled "Concerns Over 87,000 New IRS Agents Mounting After Senator Demanded the IRS Target Conservatives " and summarizes the actions this way: 

"Religious institutions like churches, Christian colleges, faith-based nonprofit organizations, and Christian small businesses will undoubtedly face unending lawsuits and government harassment like IRS investigations for adhering to a biblical worldview. Perhaps this is why the Biden administration is amassing a small army of 87,000 new IRS agents.

However, the 176 page report isn't saying what they are claiming even though they have it linked to the article. It's a copy of letters and responses to and from the IRS over tax exempt statuses over organizations that are not allowed...due to their tax exemptions, to engage in political issues. And the responses essentially say "thanks for the report" but we cannot divulge any information about any investigations. And they do not.

CBN passes itself off as a reputable Christian web site...but, clearly, they have an agenda that is not Christian at all when it comes to politics and lying. In fact, it looks like they are beginning to push Ron DeSantis for President....not for anything Biblical at this point but I presume its the continuance of their Christian nationalist theme. ​

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 Republic of Florida and Queen of Denial: Marjorie Taylor Greene

 The Michigan fugitive task force has issued a “be on the lookout” for the parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley after they failed to surrender yesterday by 4 pm and are now presumed to be on the run evading authorities. The fugitive apprehension squad arrested the parents hours after they went on the run to evade arrest.

     Only question the GOP has about the Omicron Variant is: How can we make it sound socialist?😳
     
Marjorie Taylor Greene is Queen of Denial.
A quote from MT Greene yesterday: “I have been the most attacked freshman Member of Congress probably in US history. The media has defamed me. They smeared my character. Call me names and labeled me horrible things, none of which I am.”  I see a martyr complex.
    
 Unlike State Sen. Brice Wiggins, Congressman Steven Palazzo, the six term South Mississippi Republican, has no intention of entertaining the notion of decriminalizing marijuana, saying it will put children in jeopardy. I am pretty sure guns are putting children in far more jeopardy than marijuana


Ron DeSantis now wants to recreate the Florida State Guard, a paramilitary force discontinued in 1947.
The Florida State Guard will report directly to him, no one else.
This is the stuff of dictators. The fascist country called The Republic Of Florida??
The "Militia" and the child and the podium, Reminiscent of past dictators in third world countries
    
 I keep hearing that their is too much confusing information out there about Covid. I personally do not think there is too much of the accurate information out there. Go to the source CDC or your state health dept. The misinformation problem that I see is that people are confusing cross talk conversations as news. The news media talking heads are NOT experts. When they report what officials say...that is the end of the news. Everything after that is usually cross talk bloviating. If we had the internet and dozens of news choices in 1918..more people would have died and ended terribly....and a lot of people who are alive now would not be because their ancestry would have stopped at 1918 or thereabouts.

Florida Rep Ron DeSantis Believes He Knows How to Get Politicians to Vote for Term Limits

Ron DeSantis
The problem with term-limits resolutions is that Congressman don't want to vote themselves out of office. It's kind of a political paradox that many think term limits is a good idea...just not while they are the office holder.   Florida Representative Ron DeSantis believes he has the best way  to get term limits resolutions passed.

  • I am a cosponsor of Salmon’s term limits constitutional amendment and believe that it would benefit the country if enacted. Indeed, I believe that applying term limits to members currently in office would produce much-needed turnover inside the halls of Congress.
  • At the same time, my short time in the House has convinced me that the term limits movement would benefit from a complementary approach, an approach that reconciles the self-interest of the officeholder with the public’s desire to see congressional term limits enacted.
  • With this in mind, I have introduced a joint resolution that mimics the limitations on terms contained in Salmon’s resolution but also includes a grandfather provision so that the limits will take effect as future members of Congress take office.
  • This way, a sitting member of Congress could vote to enact term limits while doing so in a way that would not end his career. Because terms limits are so popular, the interest of a member of Congress in staying in office would be congruent with supporting my term limits joint resolution.
