Hate preacher warns congregation that gays will get you drunk & “into some weird junk”

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/08/hate-preacher-warns-congregation-gays-will-get-drunk-weird-junk/

People ask me why I post stuff said by these hate preachers.   Well I just posted about a school that shut down a student newspaper and ended the journalism courses simply because the paper respected the pronouns and asked for name of a trans person which got them punished, punished for being respectful, and in the last issue reported on the history of the LGBTQ+ people.   Simply having a story about the history of a group of people caused them to be canceled and the entire course of study removed!   Think about that.   The school administrators believe that just the mention of gay, lesbian, or trans people is so inappropriate that it must never be mentioned.    Being respectful used to be something people were proud of in young people, now if they are not mean and targeting of LGBTQ+ for abuse they are being too nice and must be punished.    It is because the school administrators believe most of what people like these hate preachers are saying, they believe the garbage that red state governors spout about how the LGBTQ+ are pedophiles and forcing kids to be gay or transition.   Teachers and other LGBTQ+ are forcing kids to be a different gender and sexual orientation even though we are the ones who use science to show that it is something we are born with and can’t be changed.  But these religious hate preachers say it, and the red state maga armed gang thugs enforce it.   That is why I post what they say and why I fight back against it.   If you cannot see how flawed and wrong what they are saying is, then they are reaching you and those around you.    It must be combated and fought against.   This guy has been banned from other countries because what he says is not acceptable in a civil society yet he is celebrated in the land of the free.     Hugs

A preacher known for his hatred of LGBTQ people warned his congregation that gays and lesbians want to get them drunk and then make them do “some weird junk that you have no desire to get into.”

“These people are going to take you down a dark path,” said Steven Anderson, founder of the New Independent Fundamentalist Baptist movement and pastor at the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona. He has been banned from 34 countries because of his hate speech.

“You start hanging around with a bunch of fa***ts and lesbians, you know what they’re gonna do?” he continued. “They’re gonna ply you with alcohol or ply you with drugs and they’re going to abuse you.”

“They’re going to molest you. They are going to get you into some weird junk that you have no desire to get into.”

“Stay away from them! They are evil, they are freaks, they are predators, they’re not reproducers they are recruiters, they are molesters, they are predators. Stay away from them.”

Anderson earned himself the reputation as one of the most anti-LGBTQ preachers in the country after he praised the Pulse nightclub shooter, calling the victims “a bunch of disgusting perverts and pedophiles” and “disgusting homosexuals who the Bible says were worthy of death.”

In the past, Anderson has encouraged his congregants to kill all gay people, calling it a “cure for AIDS.” He has also advocated for world governments to execute gay people.

His extreme hate speech has gotten him banned from dozens of countries, including all 26 of Europe’s Schengen states, Botswana, Jamaica, Ireland, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Australia banned him in 2020. In response, Anderson claimed that God punished Australia with wildfires because they were “banning and deporting preachers of the Gospel” so they were facing “the judgment of God.”

Librarian resigns after violent threats over LGBTQ books that aren’t even available

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/08/librarian-resigns-violent-threats-lgbtq-books-arent-even-available/

The maga right demands to rule by violence and intimidation.   They have no use for democracy they demand to rule over everyone.  They are a small minority that is armed and backed by the republicans in office like the red state governors.  They don’t care that the rest of the world doesn’t agree with them, they don’t care that reality doesn’t agree with them, they only care about what they want, what their feelings are and everyone else can be damned!  Note these people were armed that showed up.   They are gang thugs, and they don’t worry about being arrested or the police because the police back their lawlessness.    The US is being taken over by lawless armed violent gang of Christian thugs demanding that everything be done according to the way they want.   This is the US Christian Taliban!    Hugs

 

 
library books, censorship

Kimber Glidden – the library director in Boundary County, Idaho – has resigned after religious and political extremists threatened her over LGBTQ books that her libraries don’t even carry.

A local group called Boundary County Library Board Recall targeted Glidden and four of the library board’s five members for removal. The effort began after Glidden updated the county library policy on censoring contested books, stating that libraries will not place materials on “closed shelves” or label items to protect the public from their content.

The group’s main concern is over a “widely circulated lists of books and other media among far-right-wing groups” that they worry will be accessible to kids, The Idaho Statesman reported. But county library officials have repeatedly said that the library doesn’t carry any of the books that the group and its supporters have voiced concern over.

The recall group is also upset that, in May, Glidden had the county rejoin the American Library Association. Right-wingers oppose the association’s advocacy against censorship.

While the group says it aims “to protect children from explicit materials and grooming,” Glidden says it’s more interested in intimidation and control. Grooming, a term for techniques used by sex abusers to coerce a child into being abused and not reporting it, has become a mainstream Republican term for exposing kids to any LGBTQ content. The term paints LGBTQ people and allies as child molesters.

Glidden said her office has been harassed with numerous time- and resource-consuming Freedom of Information Act requests which, if fulfilled, would make it impossible for her to do her job.

She also said that, during public meetings, she has been warned “with fire-and-brimstone language of her imminent damnation.” Conservatives who have signed up to volunteer at county libraries showed up carrying firearms to frighten others, she added. Idaho law allows people to openly carry guns with a permit.

In her public resignation, posted to Facebook, Glidden wrote, “Nothing in my background could have prepared me for the political atmosphere of extremism, militant Christian fundamentalism, intimidation tactics, and threatening behavior currently being employed in the community.”

She said that, because the group and its supporters oppose the county’s anti-censorship policies and keep complaining about books that aren’t even on the shelves, they’re more interested in establishing intimidation and dominance rather than protecting anyone.

Glidden also says she plans on moving elsewhere if the area’s political climate doesn’t change.

Republican politicians, conservative school boards, and so-called “parents’ rights” groups have dramatically escalated attempts to ban “controversial” books from school, according to a recent report from the free-speech organization PEN America.

The bans have largely come from Republican politicians, conservative school boards and so-called “parents’ rights” groups that have opposed such content as “woke” “indoctrination” that’s “inappropriate” for kids.

Moms for Liberty, one of the national conservative groups pushing to ban LGBTQ books, has started pressuring public school libraries across the country to “accept book donations from conservative publishing companies that promote white supremacist, homophobic, and transphobic ideologies,” Vice News reported.

DeSantis Calls For Assaulting Fauci: “Somebody Grab That Little Elf And Chuck Him Across The Potomac” – JMG

A state governor is calling for a person to be assaulted.   Think about that.  A governor acting like a thug because he knows the base he needs for reelection are a cult gang of thugs.  Forget that this Dr. Fauci has done nothing wrong they just hate him because he disagreed with their cult leader and he works for the government.  tRump was the president making the decisions and ordering the lockdowns.   But the cult cannot admit their leader did anything wrong, so they attack a worker with no authority to do what they claim.    That is beside the point.  The highest elected office holder in the state is calling for an illegal act of abuse and harm to be done to a person, knowing his angry base of emotional gun carrying violent thugs might attempt to harm that person as he calls for.   This is what passes for republican leadership!  This is what the republican party is now.  They used to say they were the party of law and order, now they are the party of getting their way regardless of the laws by being violent thugs intimidating everyone else.   Is this democracy, or is it something that is seen in dictatorships or states run by drug war lords?   My dogs that love gravy the state of Florida used to be a swing state, used to have more democrats than republicans.  But now with this king of cult gun loving thugs flocking to the state we have become hard right maga land.  DeathSantis rules like Saddam Hussein and other dictators.   Beware any who might criticize him or disagree with him.  This gang leader is said to be super ambitious and wants the presidency of the US.   Think about him as president.   tRump will be nothing to how brutal DeathSantis will be.   Democracy will be dead under him as soon as he is sworn in.  He has done everything he can to kill it in Florida.  He has restricted voting as much as possible to just the ones most likely to vote for him, sometimes illegally.  He and his gang of thugs don’t care, they demand to rule.   Hugs

“You have people like Fauci saying that his lockdowns didn’t cause any permanent damage to any young kids. I got news for you. It did. And we’re going to reap those rewards across the whole country for years and years and years because they treated kids so poorly.

“And I’m just sick of seeing him. I know he said he’s going to retire. Someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the Potomac.” – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, speaking today with Sen. Marco Rubio on his “Keep Florida Free” tour.

Parts of George Dawson’s book deemed inappropriate for George Dawson Middle School students

https://www.fox29.com/news/parts-of-life-is-so-good-by-george-dawson-deemed-inappropriate-for-george-dawson-middle-school-students

I noticed this story on Joe My God and I will add some tweets and comments from there.   As always I suggest everyone visit that site for more posts that I don’t publish.   It is a grand place for information.   

Note the part of the book that the district / teachers object to is the parts that talk about the real history of black people in the US.   Topics like lynching, racism, segregation and civil rights.  This is a school system that is being sued on how they treat Black and LGBTQ+ students.   These things happened in the US and they cannot be ignored to help fragile white peoples feelings.   It happened, and it was done by the white people at that time.   We must teach it as black history is US history and if we must make sure everyone knows those racist bigoted acts against minorities will not be accepted.   I included other story links that clearly show the district and some of the teachers / staff at the school are very bigoted racists.   Hugs

Carroll ISD in Southlake is reviewing sections of the book Life Is So Good, co-written by George Dawson to see if it is appropriate to teach at George Dawson Middle School.

Dawson, the grandson of a slave who lived most of his life in Dallas, published the biography in 2000 after learning to read at the age of 98.

Life Is So Good looks back on Dawson’s life, discussing what things were like in the 20th Century, including topics like lynching, racism, segregation and civil rights.

 
 
 
life is so good
 

Carroll ISD says the book was requested to be used as part of instructional materials for a 7th grade class.

 

After review by a group of teachers, principals and curriculum coordinators it was determined certain sections of the book were not appropriate for 7th grade students.

The district is still reviewing which sections of the book are appropriate for instruction.

The Carroll ISD School board voted to name the middle school after Dawson in 2002. Former School Board Trustee Jerry Lawrence introduced the idea after his son heard Dawson speak in Southlake.

YouTube video posted on the George Dawson Middle School website discusses Dawson’s life and shows students reading sections of the book aloud.

Carroll ISD says Life Is So Good in its entirety was not used for instruction last year.

The NAACP filed a discrimination complaint to the U.S. Department of Education against Carroll ISD in February over the way students of color and LGBTQ students are treated.

You have active shooter drills because of mass shootings at your schools and GOP politicians (including a significant number on your school boards) want to arm teachers. I think your grade 7 students can handle learning about the country’s history of slavery, racism, lynchings and segregation.

Email Shows Archives Asked For Docs Back In May 2021 – JMG

The Washington Post reports:

About two dozen boxes of presidential records stored in then-president Donald Trump’s White House residence were not returned to the National Archives and Records Administration in the final days of his term even after Archives officials were told by a Trump lawyer that the documents should be returned, according to an email from the top lawyer at the record-keeping agency.

The previously unreported email — sent about 100 days after the former president left office with the subject line “Need for Assistance re Presidential Records” — shows just how early Archives officials realized that many documents were missing from the Trump White House. It also illustrates the myriad efforts Archives officials made to have the documents returned over an 18-month period, culminating with an FBI raid earlier this month at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

“If the FBI …” … from a liberal point of view this makes no logical sense, but that’s because it is expressing an authoritarian viewpoint. To an authoritarian it is deeply unsettling to see the top guy treated just like an ordinary person – it upsets their entire hierarchical authoritarian world view.

In the authoritarian world view people form a hierarchy – you can push around the people beneath you, but have to defer to the people above. There is no one above the president, so if he can be charged with a crime it means society has entered a state of anarchy. If they can do this to the president, it means the people you dominate could turn the tables and dominate you; the police might even start harassing the rich people instead of the poor people.

Arkansas Cops Caught on Tape Brutally Attacking Man

Wow this guy is white and they beat the crap out of him.  I would be surprised if he doesn’t have permanent lifelong health issues and harm from this.    While three of them hold him down they bang his head on the concrete, they kick and stomp on him, and one guy knees him repeatedly either in the kidneys which will destroy them, or on his hip which will crumble it.   No matter what the man might have done this is not the job of the police, this is a gang of thugs.  Police have the job of arresting  / detaining people for trial, not administering vigilante justice.   Hugs

“Three police officers in Arkansas were taken off duty after they were caught on camera beating up a suspect they were placed under arrest.

The video blew up when it was posted to social media on Sunday, showing an officer and two deputies as they pinned a man to the ground and repeatedly struck him outside a convenience store. Crawford County Sheriff Jimmy Damante said to the media, announcing two of his deputies would be suspended while Arkansas state police and the sheriff’s office investigate the incident.

“About the video circulating social media involving two Crawford County deputies, we have requested that Arkansas State Police conduct the investigation, and the deputies have been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation,” Damante’s office announced. “I hold all my employees accountable for their actions and will take appropriate measures in this matter.”*

GOP candidate said it’s “totally just” to stone gay people to death

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/08/gop-candidate-said-totally-just-stone-gay-people-death/

Understand these people put their religion first and they are running for elected office that will allow them to craft laws based on their religious views that the rest of us must follow.   He is a republican candidate that thinks being gay is an “insidious addiction” and that homosexuals are such an affront to his god they need to be put to death.   What kind of laws do you think he will champion?   Do you think he could fairly judge anti-discrimination laws?   How about the don’t say gay bills for schools, will he agree with science or his bible?   These hyper religious people are not running for office because they have nothing else to do, they are trying to get into positions to enforce their church doctrines and make the rest of the nation follow their religion.   They are trying to make a theocracy, trying to reduce the rights for women and minorities.   Here in Florida they are trying to take over school boards as they did in Texas.   You know the kinds of things that they tried to insist kids be taught there, things like the constitution was written by god and Moses, that slaves were unpaid workers or simply forced  to relocation, that science / biology are suspect but intelligent design is possible.  They snuck as much disinformation and American exceptionalism along with teaching the nation was founded on the Christian religion as possible.   If we don’t stop them now, we won’t have a democracy.   Hugs

 
Scott Esk

A GOP candidate in Oklahoma is getting attention for comments he made several years ago when he justified the death penalty by stoning for gay people. When asked recently about it, he didn’t disavow his previous comments.

Scott Esk, 56, is running in the Republican primary runoff election tomorrow for a seat in the state house, and local media is bringing up some extreme comments he made in the past. He’s not handling them well.

In 2013, Esk was commenting in a Facebook conversation about the Pope saying that he couldn’t judge gay people. Esk posted some Bible quotations, including the part of Romans 1 where the Bible says that a long list of people who sinned is “worthy of death.”

Another person asked him: “So, just to be clear, you think we should execute homosexuals (presumably by stoning)?”

Esk responded: “I think we would be totally in the right to do it… Ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.”

A year later, a journalist asked him about those comments. He said it was “totally just” to kill gay people.

“What I will tell you right now is that that was done in the Old Testament under a law that came directly from God,” he said at the time. “And in that time, there was, it was, totally just came directly from God.”

After those comments, he put out a long video where he claimed he “sets the record straight.” In those videos, he claimed he has “compassion on anybody in the grips of an insidious addiction, such as homosexuality.”

“Any Christian should be in the position to say that this is sin or this is good. If we don’t make that distinction, we’re not going to help people,” he said in the first video published in 2015.

In the another video, which was from earlier this year, Esk called a local TV news report on his comments a “hit piece on the fact that I had an opinion against homosexuality.”

“Well, does that make me a homophobe? Maybe some people think it does,” he said. “But as far as I and many of the people, the voters of House District A7 are concerned, it simply makes me a Christian. Christians believe in biblical morality, kind of by definition, or they should.”

He said that he is not in favor of “expanding the death penalty in Oklahoma for homosexuality,” he just wants everyone to know that gay people are so offensive to his god that his religion wants them dead.

“The fact is, that it’s much more offensive knowing what obscene things homosexuals do with each other than it is for somebody to hold the view that it is indecent,” he said in the second video.

Now that the runoff election is tomorrow, The Oklahoman asked Esk about those comments to see if his opinion has changed at all.

He refused to do an interview and pointed The Oklahoman to the two videos.

“I’ve stood up for what is right in the past, and I intend to in the future and I am right now,” he stated. “That’s got me in trouble. The media are not my friends, as far as I’m concerned.”

Earlier today, Esk posted a video to his YouTube channel entitled “Scott Esk sets the record straight for the 3rd time,” in which he calls The Oklahoman piece and a piece by News 4 “hit pieces” and says that the media is against him because they want his opponent Gloria Banister to win.

He also responded to being fired from his job as a data manager in 2011 because he was arrested after he allegedly threatened and harassed the leadership of his church. In the video, he calls those church leaders “snakes” and makes some opaque references to the divorce and custody battle he was going through at the time.

Whoever wins the primary tomorrow will run against the Democratic winner in November. The seat is currently held by state Rep. Collin Walke (D), who is retiring.

Texas Paul REACTS to Dan Crenshaw’s HUMILIATING defense of Donald Trump after Mar-a-Lago search

Texas Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who likes to position himself as a ‘normal’ Republican, attacked the Department of Justice during an interview on CNN over the FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Crenshaw resorted to spreading lies and disinformation about the search during the revealing segment, which showed Crenshaw would rather support Donald Trump than our national security. Texas Paul tears into the Texas Republican.
