Schatzline, a Baptist pastor and Liberty University graduate, last appeared here when he led a training session at a Christian nationalist Texas megachurch about how there’s no such thing as the separation of church and state.
He appeared here last year when he gave an award to a private Texas Christian school for its “least-vaccinated status” among all Texas schools.
Also last year, he authored a bill that would allow private citizens to sue bookstores for selling “obscene books.”
He appeared here in March 2023 when he sponsored an anti-drag bill. Critics then quickly resurfaced a video showing him in drag while in college. Schatzline’s X and Instagram posts feature many notorious far-right figures.

As many of you surely know, prominent cultists and elected Republican routinely and falsely claim that mass shooters are transgender, often before the identity of the suspect is even known.

I am sorry. I worked all day on and off between needing to lay down or doing other things to try to manage my pain. I took extra medications which my doctors allow me to do when needed because if I don’t need them I don’t take them. With the cut back on medications those days are few and more rare. I got up at 4 am and started working on this post. However as I mentioned I can’t simply sit at the computer and copy and post stuff. My back won’t let me and the pain gets too intense even with medications so I have to go lay down on the bed.
That is so frustrating.
Then I get up and start again, but when I am posting from a site like Joe. My. God. He keeps posting far more than I can keep up. Ron was out with Diane his sister all afternoon, and when he got home he was very tired so needed to nap. So I tried to keep working. When he got up near 5 pm I was already in agony and had to take my evening medications for pain an hour early. Well 2 hours early as I am trying to switch them to 6-12-6 instead of earlier.
Ron realized that issue as soon as he got home but he was so tired I told him to go to bed, take a nap. But when he got up my stomach had totally shut down. He wanted to cook supper and I agreed as I could eat it for breakfast. He was upset and begged me to take a supplement drink which I did. I love him and I know he is worried about how weak and how I have very little interest in anything but the news and posting it I am. His sister has repeatedly tried to have him make me join both of them on their days out even if to just go out to eat. I just don’t want to. I care about her, I adore my husband and if she gives him an outlet I am OK with that. But I don’t have the energy to do so or join them.
Anyway please enjoy my day’s work. Loves and hugs to all. Hugs, Scottie
