Texas Pastor To City Council: Gays Should Be Executed
Newsweek reports:
A week after saying that he wouldn’t apologize for using homophobic slurs in sermons, Texas pastor Jonathan Shelley, the leader of the anti-gay Stedfast Baptist Church, said in a city council meeting that Pride Month is an “abomination” that shouldn’t be promoted. Shelley addressed the Arlington City Council, where a meeting was being held about acknowledging Pride month, telling them that he’s “horrified and ashamed” that the city decided to “promote and solicit Pride.”
“I don’t understand why we celebrate what used to be a crime not long ago. God has already ruled that murder, adultery, witchcraft, rape, bestiality and homosexuality are crimes worthy of capital punishment.” In March, Shelley’s church got evicted from its building after the pastor said gay people were “worthy of death,” which violated the terms of the lease that said the church should not promote or threaten violence.

The second clip below was retweeted by Shelley’s church, which somehow still has a Twitter account. Of note, Pastor Shelley only has the gig because his fellow “death to gays” predecessor, Pastor Donnie Romero, was fired by the congregation after he was caught hiring hookers and smoking weed. Which is what Jesus would want. Romero first appeared on JMG when he preached that God should “finish the job” and “kill those queers” hospitalized after the Pulse massacre.

So now they’ve said the quiet part out loud and the cat is out of the bag. Let’s not be under any illusion about the true motive of our enemies – they want us dead.

When will we stop pretending that what he is saying isn’t a Christian teaching that has been a Christian teaching as long as there have been Christians? If you’re in the cult you’re part of the problem. You give cover to those who follow the teachings of the textbook of the cult.
They’ve always wanted us dead. Then they won’t have to think about sucking cock anymore.
I wonder what would happen if we started calling right wingers “alternative lifestyle” folk

And yet, gluttony is one of the so-called “7 Deadly Sins” that every Christian ought to be aware of even if they can’t recite verses from the Bible. They all give themselves “Mulligans” while casting aspersions on everyone else, like the true hypocrites they are.
Walker Proposes “Department That Can Look At Young Men That’s Looking At Women On Their Social Media”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
Twice in recent days Walker has fumbled questions on gun control: In one interview he seemed to suggest monitoring young people’s social media activity, and in another he dodged the question altogether. The topic is sensitive for Walker. Like many Republicans, he is an ardent champion of gun rights. But firearms have also played a big role in his own turbulent personal history.
Walker’s ex-wife, Cindy Grossman, said he repeatedly held a gun to her head and threatened to blow her “brains out.” A Dallas County judge was worried enough about the possibility of violence that in 2005 he temporarily took away Walker’s guns when he granted Grossman a restraining order. Walker has chalked up the violent episodes to a mental illness he said has now been treated.
The Insider reports:
Walker said the focus should be on the shooters, not guns, and decried “people that’s trying to score political points” by pushing for gun control legislation. “We need to get into what happened to him, why, by putting money in mental health. Have people thought about that?” Walker said.
“People see that it’s a person wielding that weapon, you know, Cain killed Abel,” Walker said. “And that’s the problem that we have. And I said, what we need to do is look into how we can stop those things.”
“You talk about doing a disinformation,” Walker continued, “what about getting a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women, that’s looking at their social media? What about doing that, looking into things like that, and we can stop that that way?”

Arizona Senate Candidate Is A Fan Of The Unabomber
Politico Magazine does a deep dive into Blake Masters:
Masters’ views, while hard right, are not quite fringe in today’s Republican Party. He’s a harsh critic of Big Tech and says Trump was robbed in 2020. He traffics in the “replacement theory” that Democrats want to change the electorate through a wave of undocumented immigrants.
He opposes aid to Ukraine and the right to an abortion. (He recently faced controversy for criticizing Griswold v. Connecticut, which legalized contraceptives nationally.) Masters also clearly likes to get a rise out of people.
He counts Ted Kaczynski as among his intellectual influencers — pointing to the Unabomber’s manifesto as a source of inspiration for his own message of the dystopian techno-present. He told one conservative interviewer that left-wing ideology makes “a pretty good candidate for the Antichrist.”
Read the full article. Masters is a former employee of homocon billionaire Peter Thiel, who has dumped over $13 million into his campaign. There’s a lot more about their history at the link.

There’s no denying that the inmates are running the asylum. The USA has become a gigantic mental institution when large numbers of voters and politicians look up to psychopaths. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Why do i assume theyre saying:
“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”
GOP Candidate Says Life Begins Before Conception, Even in Cases of Rape
https://www.newsweek.com/gop-candidate-says-life-begins-before-conception-even-cases-rape-1710665
A Republican candidate for governor of Oklahoma has called for a total ban on abortion without any exceptions, while arguing that life begins “before” conception.
Mark Sherwood, an alternative medicine practitioner and former police officer, said on Thursday that he hopes to push a total abortion ban through the Oklahoma state legislature if he is elected. Sherwood is one of at least three Republican candidates hoping to unseat incumbent Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt when the state’s GOP primary takes place on June 28.
Sherwood, who was adopted, told Real America’s Voice host David Brody on a Thursday segment for The Water Cooler that his birth mother had likely been raped before giving birth to him. He suggested that abortion should be banned even for pregnancies that begin under the most “heinous” of circumstances, before citing a Bible verse to explain his belief that life begins “before” pregnancy.
“No life, even conceived in the most heinous or even less-than-ideal circumstances, is a mistake,” Sherwood said. “As I sit here and talk to you, I can tell you unequivocally, even the people that are pro-choice are not mistakes.”
Republican Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate Mark Sherwood hopes to eliminate all exceptions to an abortion ban, arguing that life begins “before” conception.

“Everybody has a purpose,” he continued. “Jeremiah 1:5: ‘I knew you before you were created in the womb.’ So, I believe life begins in God before it begins at conception.”
On Wednesday night, Stitt signed into law what is already one of strictest anti-abortion rights bills in the country—banning the procedure from the time of conception in nearly every case, with exceptions for cases rape or incest reported to law enforcement and when necessary to save the life of the mother.
Sherwood pledged to go further if elected, eliminating all abortions and criminalizing the procedure as felony murder. He went on to concede that abortions would likely continue even if a full ban were to take place, while comparing unsanctioned abortions to the elementary school massacre in Uvalde, Texas.
“We’ll be making it a law immediately to abolish abortions, no exceptions,” said Sherwood. “You can’t legislate morality. People are gonna commit crimes. They’re gonna murder, as evidenced by the Uvalde shooting. I mean, guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
“Evil is present in this world,” he added. “Is it going to stop abortion all the way, by people’s choices? No. But do we need to create laws that match the punishment, that match the crime? Yes. And if we do that, God’s hand of blessing will be back on this land.”
Sherwood’s hope of eliminating all exceptions to an abortion ban hinges on him first pulling off a primary upset over Stitt, who is far ahead in polling. The bill that Stitt signed on Wednesday is likely to survive any legal challenges due to the Supreme Court‘s expected upcoming reversal of Roe v. Wade.

Top Trump Aide BURNED Incriminating Documents After 2020 Presidential Election
Read more HERE: https://www.mediaite.com/politics/mar… “Then-White House Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows burned documents shortly after the 2020 presidential election, a witness has told the Jan. 6 committee that is investigating the 2021 Capitol insurrection. According to Politico, Cassidy Hutchinson, who worked for Meadows at the White House, testified that she saw Meadows burn documents after a meeting at his office with Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA). Politico cited an anonymous source familiar with the investigation. A lawyer for Meadows declined to comment to the publication. After then-President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, some members of his inner circle and other allies commenced a haphazard campaign for Trump to stay in power. Trump baselessly claimed the election was “rigged” against him in several states. Documents and testimony show that Perry connected with justice department official Jeffrey Clark, who lobbied the department to assist Trump in overturning the election. As has been previously reported, Politico noted that Trump considered firing Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and replacing him with Clark.”
