Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke in favor of “Christian nationalism” during a recent social media broadcast, echoing some of the worst despots and dictators from history. Texas Paul sounds the alarm.
These people just will not stop preaching their religious church doctrines to captive audiences in inappropriate times. Plus this is the real indoctrinating of children that the right keeps claiming is happening. Funny the school made the video private so they did not want it getting out but some of it has. Hugs
A high school graduation speech telling students to “choose a spouse” based on “biblical principles” is sparking outrage online.
“Choose a spouse, I suggest,” alumnus Jim McGuire said in a commencement address at River Valley High School in Caledonia, Ohio. “I also strongly suggest to make sure to choose biblical principles, you know a male with a female and female with a male.”
Caledonia, about an hour north of Columbus, had a population of 560 in the 2020 census.
Since the speech last week, McGuire’s remarks have been called “hateful” and “inappropriate.”
Alexis Osipow, a 2018 River Valley graduate who was at the ceremony to support her younger sister, told the local newspaper, the Marion Star, “When he made the comment that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, my jaw dropped to the floor, and I honestly thought I was hearing it wrong.”
“I had to look around and see if other people were having the same reaction that I was, and they were,” she continued. “I felt like crying when I heard some people in the crowd clapping. But I was absolutely outraged and so were my parents and brother. I heard people behind me whispering about how inappropriate the comment was as well.”
River Valley High School made the video of the graduation ceremony private, but portions of McGuire’s speech circulated on social media platforms.
One Twitter user wrote, “He made himself the center of attention instead of the graduates and their accomplishments. He should take his ignorant views back to the 1950s.”
One user on Facebook shared a post with a clip of McGuire’s speech and a caption asking the administration to address the “hateful speech.” The user also extended sympathy to LGBTQ graduates, writing, “I am sorry this hateful speech overshadowed your amazing achievements and this incredibly special milestone in your lives.
McGuire, a business owner and board member of the Marion County Board of Developmental Disabilities, told NBC News in an email, “My speech was not anti-anything. There was not a negative word or statement in speech to anyone or organization … Being positive is who I am.”
He also shared a statement he sent to the high school, in which he said, “I truly had the best interests of the Graduates in mind; the Graduates were my audience.”
The school administration released a statement Monday saying: “The speech was not reviewed by anyone on the River Valley Administrative team or Board of Education. Any views expressed by the speaker during his commencement speech reflected his personal beliefs. He was not speaking as an official representative of River Valley Local Schools.”
The superintendent of River Valley local schools added, “The alumni speaker was not a member of the River Valley staff and he was not speaking as an official representative of River Valley Local Schools.”
Great cats loving gravy, what drugs do these people take? I am serious this rant is deranged. But these people really believe it, and the sex symbols they want to return to were often gay but hiding it. The truth is what he wants is white Christian straight male power. White Christian straight male authority over women and everyone else. How many times the article says that equality is wrong, that women must be servants to the male with no rights or it destroys humanity and western culture. Notice that he blames falling birthrates on women, he blames stealing kid’s virtue on drag queens / trans people. The only one he never blames for anything bad are the men. The men that run the country, the men who refuse to pay living wages so people can afford kids, the men raping and molesting kids, the men are not the problem according to him who is male. To solve the world’s problems, give all power to straight white Christian males who will take the country back to 1950. That was when white straight Christian males were the boss of everything, women obeyed men serving their needs, other religions were not considered a real thing, blacks / minorities knew their place and stayed there, and the LGBTQ+ were deeply hidden too terrified to attract notice. That is the equality that saves the country and makes god happy. Hugs
Via press release from Nazi-haven social media site Gab:
Our culture is what we hand on to our children, but the West isn’t having children. The birth rates are down, and people are wondering why we aren’t having babies. Our men and women aren’t making big families and our communities are becoming sterile and childless.
This is a crisis that’s been building for generations. Sterility is the real climate change crisis of our time. The poles are melting but it’s not the ice caps, it’s the sex symbols.
We have trashed our sex symbols in only three generations. The icons of male and female have been ruined by equality of the sexes, and the West has become almost indistinguishable from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We’re being terrorized by maniacal transvestites who want a genderless future.
Have you ever heard the phrase “You sound like a girl”? What is it about speech that can give away somebody’s sex? There is something in the detail of our tongue that gives it away.
We understand this on an instinctive level, but as a culture, we’ve forgotten that boys and girls are supposed to sound distinct and speak differently to each other.
Husbands marry and wives are married. This follows the pattern of Christ who redeems and marries His Bride. Christ gives His Body and Blood, and the Church receives Holy Communion.
God calls Israel to the wedding feast, and in His parable, the wise virgins trim their wicks until the Bridegroom appears to take them. The women are not running to the groom any more than mankind can run to God. He had to come to us to redeem us.
Do you see the pattern? There is active and passive in these icons. Christianity is marriage. Equality cannot exist in marriage.
Our culture is a cult of equality. The strange irony is that terms for active and passive lovers exist in homosexual slang, but not that of normal couples. I hate to say it, but the rainbow people have clearer terms for these dynamics than most straight people do.
What is it about magnets that give them their unique properties? They aren’t equal. There is a passive and active property to them, and they work on a polarity of positive and negative. Magnets either attract or repel according to their force. Opposites attract and stick. Magnets that lose their polarity lose their sticking power, just like men and women.
Drag Queen Story Hour is the Rocky Horror Picture Show for your children. It’s a linguistic sex-change program. The drag scientists want to destroy the virtue of children and their sense of sexual reality. How can we repair the damage that these “Frank-N-Furter’s” have done to the little Brad and Janets of the world?
Traditionalists need to talk ourselves out of this deadly transgendered sterility and back into our right minds as masculine and feminine creators. We must teach children to talk unequally and uniquely. If we restore the culture of opposites, we can restore the sex symbols. Our culture depends on it.

This is the "thought out conclusions" of a right leaning Christian academic. What is being shown on Gab and other far right media sourceshttps://t.co/YD30sDulKv
Idiot! Having children or not is a very personal choice. There’s no law that says that you must have children. We chose to have them. We worked hard providing for them and making them good, caring people. Not everybody does that.
The birth rate had already been steadily declining for most of the 20th century. Then during the 1970s it leveled out. It has been remarkably steady since. Rising or falling by only a few percentage points for the last 50 years.
Like the gun issue where they blame everything but the guns these people refuse to acknowledge that “low birth rates” are a direct result of 40+ years of failed conservative economic policy. Happy, well off people have kids. Miserable people, in debt, who own nothing, waiting out the latest boom-bust cycle do not.
Gender isn’t going away. We’re just having more people express gender as they see fit for themselves. You know, embracing freedom and self determination.
If we restore the culture of opposites, we can restore the sex symbols. Our culture depends on it.
Translation from MAGAt Incel to English : “If the ladies don’t cater to our libidos and go all “Lysistrata” on us, then how will we grab pussies when we are horned?
Our ‘culture’ is about getting laid, because we find submissive rapeable women hawt.”
large families were for the mills, the farms, the factories … large because the graveyards were full of infants, toddlers, and older kids who didn’t survive .. and thus couldn’t “contribute” ..
A new bill proposed in Ohio would ban all transgender athletes from competing in school and college sports despite only one transgender athlete competing in the state. If that wasn’t horrible enough the bill also requires suspected trans athletes to undergo a genital examination to be cleared for competition. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Amy Vilela discuss on The Young Turks.
“Ohio House Republicans passed a bill late Tuesday that bans all transgender students from playing high school and college sports, and requires genital exams in any disputes. Representatives voted on House Bill 151 on the first day of Pride Month.
The measure next goes to the Senate after lawmakers return from summer recess. If the bill becomes law, it would take precedence over all current policies by high school and college sports associations.
The existing association policies, which aim to protect medical privacy and stress inclusion, take into account testosterone levels or the length of time an athlete has been transitioning, Cleveland.com reported.
The new bill calls for an outright ban on transgender athletes. Under the measure, if a player’s sex is disputed, he or she will have to present a physician’s statement about “internal and external reproductive anatomy” and testosterone levels. Students would also have to show an analysis of genetic makeup.”

Laurie Schlegel, R-Jefferson, red dress hand up, is sworn in at the beginning of legislative House Chamber action Monday May 10, 2021, in Baton Rouge, La. Photo: Sponsor Rep. Julie Emerson, who sits on the board of trustees for the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
The Louisiana House approved Thursday night two anti-abortion bills that restricts access to abortions in preparation for the expected U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade after nearly half a century.
One bill criminalizes selling abortion pills through the mail. The second measure would immediately close all abortion clinics, criminalize most pregnancy termination actions, and send physicians who perform the procedures to prison.
Both bills – Senate Bill 342 and Senate Bill 388 – were passed overwhelmingly by a Louisiana House that rarely has voted against an anti-abortion measure over the years. The legislation now returns across Memorial Hall with requests that the Senate approve of wording added by the House. If both chambers agree before Monday’s adjournment, both bills head to Gov. John Bel Edwards to sign into law or veto.
Louisiana is one of 13 states with legal trigger that go into effect should the high court overturn Roe. A leaked draft opinion suggests that a majority of Supreme Court justices support returning the authority over abortions to individual states.
Senate Bill 342, which was approved 72-25, establishes how Louisiana will operate should that be case.
“It will prohibit abortion in the state of Louisiana,” said state Rep. Julie Emerson, R-Carencro, who was managing the Senate-passed measure sponsored by Sen. Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe, on the House floor.
The measure coordinates and clarifies the 100 or so anti-abortion laws that have been passed during the past 49 years. About 29 definitions were regularized and wording was inserted into about two dozen laws that underscored the Legislature’s intention “to prohibit and restrict abortion.”
In addition to clarifying language, the measure now puts part of the anti-abortion law in the criminal code and levies penalties. But the woman who terminates her pregnancy would not face criminal charges.
A doctor, or anyone else, found guilty of performing an abortion would face prison for not less than one year nor more than 10 years and be fined not less than $10,000 nor more than $100,000. If the abortion is late term, with or without the woman’s consent, the sentences increase to a hard labor prison term of one to 15 years and a $20,000 to $200,000 fine.
Emerson submitted 15-pages of amendments – drafted by Jackson with the help of Louisiana Right to Life – to the seven-page bill. “This amendment is to make as clear as possible what is intended here,” Emerson said.
SB342 would allow abortions removing a fetus that has died in the womb; removing an ectopic pregnancy, in which the egg implants in one of the mother’s fallopian tubes; saving the life of the mother; removal of a fetus that isn’t viable outside the womb or is diagnosed with a chromosomal abnormality.
But there is no exception for rape or incest.
“We’re putting an 11-year-old in the position of having a baby,” said Rep. Aimee Adatto Freeman, D-New Orleans.
Democratic Rep. Cedric Glover, D-Shreveport, attempted to add an exception for rape and incest, but was refused on a vote of 37 to 62.
Senate Bill 388 would clarify criminal penalties for distribution of abortion pills. The House approved that measure 72-24.
With the expected end of most surgical abortions in Louisiana, more women are likely to turn to the two-pill procedure that terminate their pregnancies.
The legislation is needed to address that loophole, said Rep. Laurie Schlegel, the Metairie Republican handling the measure on the House floor for state Sen. Sharon Hewitt, R-Slidell. “The purpose is to stop online, do it yourself abortions,” Schlegel said.
The two pills that can terminate pregnancies are mifepristone, which causes an embryo to detach from the uterine wall and is followed a day or two later with misoprostol that pushes the embryo out of the uterus.
Current law requires a prescription and that the pills are taken under a physician’s supervision. But the pills are legal, easy to find and obtain online. They can be mailed to the homes of anyone who buys them.
“How can the state of Louisiana regulate interstate commerce?” asked Rep. Mandie Landry, referring to trade over state lines, which the U.S. Constitution reserves for the federal government.
“I don’t know how they can stop it unless they’re waiting at the post office,” Landry added.
Schlegel said the sponsor of the measure had checked with prosecutors and was assured that SB388 was constitutional.
The proposal expands the definition for the crime of criminal abortion to include the delivering, dispensing, distributing, or providing a pregnant woman with an abortion-inducing drug when physician is not part of the process.
Distributors and vendors would face a prison term of five to 10 years and a fine of $10,000 to $75,000, or both. If the woman seeking an abortion is under the age of 18, the criminal penalty increases to imprisonment at hard labor for 15 to 50 years, a $15,000 to $100,000 fine, or both.
“When he [Biden] suggests that more children are dying by gun than on-duty police officers, maybe one of the reasons for that is because — you know, I spot a couple of differentiators.
“One of them is that on-duty police officers carry guns, kids cannot carry guns nor should they, obviously.
“But, the point is that people who are protected tend not to get shot as often. Even in the most dangerous situations they tend not to get shot quite as often because they can protect themselves. So he’s making directly the case that he supposedly opposes.
“This, by the way, is the case that Democrats are consistently making, is the idea that even a lawful, law-abiding person who knows how to use his gun isn’t capable of stopping a bad guy with a gun – which, of course, is untrue.
“I’m unaware of any situation in which the threat of a good guy with a gun has not ended a situation with a bad guy with a gun. Do folks on the left just think that bad guys randomly give up their guns when they get bored or tired?
“That’s not how any of this works.” – Ben Shapiro, going on to claim that the “multiple guns” in his home make his own children safer.
Unintentional shootings happen to children of all ages. In homes with guns, the likelihood of accidental death by shooting is four times higher. In 2020, there were at least 369 unintended shootings by children in the United States. pic.twitter.com/qcdCthVxrr

They are so desperate to support the NRA & gun profits! My father, WW2 veteran, said “I saw too many guns in the “WAR”, I don’t need to see them here!”
Strawmanning. That’s all that is. Biden was quite clear in his speech last night and that speech outlined the view of most Democrats. Few are advocating for an all-out bad on all guns. So he’s just lying. We want a ban on AR-15s and similar weapons, better background checks. A waiting period might be nice (giving people a chance to cool off before committing acts of violence. And raising the age to 21 is a good idea. Those are all practical ideas that are popular with Americans. So of course right wingers don’t want to argue against those proposals, you know the ones that are actually in bills that are being considered. No. They want to rail against things that are not in any current bill and not being proposed by any prominent Democrat. This is just bullshit.
Please notice how iron fisted the state of Florida under the authoritarian do as I demand or be hurt governor DeathSantis is. This is the man who wants to be ruler of the US. He is in the mold of tRump. But here is a governor going against all known best medical advice based on science to make sure his base is not upset by threatening an organization that works to help disadvantaged kids. plus notice DeathSantis claims that everyone has had Covid by now anyway as if that somehow means we don’t need vaccines. Fact is that vaccines and boosters help you avoid Covid and minimize the severity of the virus you have if you do get it. DeathSantis is the Ultra bully thug that his base loves. is that what an advanced country should have for leaders? Hugs
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday during a press conference hailed the decision by the Special Olympics to reverse the vaccine mandate as a win for the thousands of athletes who are expected to compete in the games.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Special Olympics reversed its Covid-19 vaccine mandate for upcoming competitions in Orlando after Florida threatened event organizers with a $27.5 million fine over the requirement.
The Special Olympics issued a statement on Friday saying it will lift its mandate as directed by state officials on May 27 “based upon the Florida Department of Health’s interpretation of Florida law.”
This year’s Special Olympics USA Games are set to kick off Sunday and will wrap up on June 12. The event is expected to attract 4,000 athletes.
“[Special Olympics International] was unable to bring the event into compliance for the benefit of their delegates,” the letter says. “And reinstate all who were denied access based on proof of vaccination.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday during a press conference hailed the decision by the Special Olympics to reverse the vaccine mandate as a win for the thousands of athletes who are expected to compete in the games. He said the mandate marginalized those players, especially those who have some immunity after previously testing positive for the virus.
“What connection that has to competing, I don’t understand,” DeSantis said of Covid-19 vaccines. “We’ve never seen something wielded like this vaccine to try to marginalize disfavored people.”
“And a lot of these special Olympians have also had Covid by now,” DeSantis said. “Most people have had it by now.”
DeSantis signed Florida’s ban on vaccine mandates in November as the Biden administration planned to roll out federal vaccine mandates that following month. The new Florida law led the Florida Department of Health to issue a $3.5 million fine against Leon County after 14 county employees were fired for not complying with a vaccine mandate. The state Department of Health later forgave the $3.5 million fine.
Florida’s health department is overseen by state Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo, who said during Friday’s news conference that talks leading up to the reversal by the Special Olympics began six months ago. Ladapo has long been skeptical of the safety and effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine. He said the vaccines mandated by the Special Olympics offer no protection at this point in the pandemic.
Ladapo’s zero-protection stance was a small shift from his previous take on vaccines, which is that they were one of many tools in the fight to spread Covid-19. But that protection also weakens over time, which is why the Special Olympics mandate would not be effective in stopping the virus, Ladapo claimed.
“Ethically, it doesn’t make sense,” Ladapo said. “It’s on the wrong side.”
He also said there needs to be more discussions about adverse reactions to the Covid vaccine.
“We don’t like to talk frankly about safety because it’s taboo,” Ladapo said. “But it is an honest conversation that needs to happen.”
Ladapo was one of more than 20 medical professionals who signed a memo in 2021 asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration not to give final approval to Covid-19 vaccines, which were developed as Covid infected 85 million people nationwide. The memo asks for the FDA to undergo years of testing on the safety of the vaccines before they are given final approval.
The vast majority of medical professionals and organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the FDA, Johns Hopkins Medicine and Mayo Clinic, advise the public to get the vaccine both to protect against the virus and to lessen serious symptoms of the virus.
If you elect me, this month will be the last National Gay Pride month ever celebrated. We need to elect people into US congress that will stand up and say Homosexuality and Transgenderism are evil.
I will push to have the 2015 Obergefel vs Hodges ruling overturned which legalized same sex marriage. Two men and two women cannot come close to a unified man and woman married. I want to bring back DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) which safeguarded the institution of marriage.
Sexual Liberation is NOT western values. LGBQT+ movement is communist as they seek to destabilize our country with their divisive rhetoric and destroy families. Transgenderism and Pedophilia are now rampant in our society.
We have to ban it asap and safeguard our children against it. We have to get Transgenderism out of our schools. When I win this election everyone will know their gender again. The populace will know Men cannot get pregnant and can actively define a woman.
Tennessee’s Fifth Congressional District is currently held by ten-term Democratic Rep. Jim Cooper, who announced his retirement in January after redistricting turned the district significantly more red, bringing an avalanche of over a dozen eager cultists.
Three of them, including far-right filmmaker Robby Starbuck and Trump-endorsed former Fox host Morgan Ortagus were recently disqualified over residency requirements.
Yesterday, Starbuck, who has been endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn, sued to be reinstated to the ballot.
In his Ballotpedia candidate questionnaire, Stewart Parks vows to “ban transgenderism and same-sex marriage,” and names the bible as his favorite book.
The only Democratic candidate on the ballot is freshman state Sen. Heidi Campbell. The primary is August 4th.
“Two men and two women cannot come close to a unified man and woman married.”
That’s utter nonsense. There are same sex couples who get along better, are more compatible and happier with each other than many heterosexual couples. The gender of the individuals in a couple is in no way determinative in how unified they are.
I hate to break it to Stewie but he has no control over Obergefell or Windsor/DOMA and no say over whether Pride is celebrated. Pride will be celebrated long after he’s gone, gay people will have sex and marry, trans people will transition, and there’s nothing this creepy Neanderthal can do about it.
“These people are evil.” This is why this lil’ twerp is running for public office, because the corporate world will not hire someone who openly refuses to work with other employees or clients because of their open bigotry.
