Proud Boys Assault Crenshaw At TX GOP Convention

Proud Boys Assault Crenshaw At TX GOP Convention

Mediaite reports:

Rep. Dan Crenshaw and his staff were violently confronted at the Republican Party of Texas convention a short time ago, when far-right social media activist Alex Stein and others whom witnesses described as Proud Boys began shouting “eyepatch McCain” at him – an attempted insult coined by Tucker Carlson. A witness to the incident tells Mediaite that in addition to Stein and others being escorted out of the building, “some arrests” were made at the scene.

Read the full article. Alex Stein, you may recall, was part of the mob of extremists that attempted to storm a Dallas gay bar earlier this month.

Basically the same thing that happened to German conservatives who thought they could control Hitler

Edgar Jung tried valiantly to counter Hitler, but it was too late at that point and he was assassinated.

Tucker’s so happy that at this point in his pathetic wimpy life, the bad boys on the playground have moved on from throwing rocks at lil’ Tuckums and throwing them at Tuckum’s targets.

Racist Parents Drive New Black Educator From District In CRT-Fueled Panic

Please notice the open racism and how these parents were taught how to be as intimidating as possible and were told to have it filmed so it could be used on Tucker Carlson or other Fox shows.   This is the new KKK.   They not only chased her from one school in the district but hounded her out of a second school in the area.    The parents flat out stated they were a white majority and did not want a black teacher.  Period.   The right complains of cancel culture yet love to cancel people and things they don’t like.   Hugs

Cecilia Lewis, a black teacher who had recently begun work in a small Georgia town was driven out of her district and threatened by racist agitators baselessly claiming that she was going to bring critical race theory into the school’s curriculum. The parents were so dead-set on ruining Lewis’ career that they even followed her to her next school job after she was fired from Cherokee County School District, to drive her out of that job as well.

“In April of 2021, Cecelia Lewis had just returned to Maryland from a house-hunting trip in Georgia when she received the first red flag about her new job.

The trip itself had gone well. Lewis and her husband had settled on a rental home in Woodstock, a small city with a charming downtown and a regular presence on best places to live lists.

It was a short drive to her soon-to-be office at the Cherokee County School District and less than a half hour to her husband’s new corporate assignment.

While the north Georgia county was new to the couple, the Atlanta area was not. They’d visited several times in recent years to see their son, who attended Georgia Tech. Lewis, a middle school principal, initially applied for a position that would bring her closer to the classroom as a coach for teachers.

But district leaders were so impressed by her interview that they encouraged her to apply instead for a new opening they’d created: their first administrator focused on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

DEI-focused positions were becoming more common in districts across the country, following the 2020 protests over the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.

The purpose of such jobs typically is to provide a more direct path for addressing disparities stemming from race, economics, disabilities and other factors.”

Liberal Redneck – Mike Pence and “Team Normal” on January 6

Let’s talk about new developments from Uvalde and policy….

This video puts to bed a lot of the myths about school teachers and also talks about the fact that the police also had AR-15 weapons and still did not try to shoot the gunman, because they were afraid of hitting a student.   Think of a teacher with only 24 hours training being asked to do with a pistol what a trained police officer with an assault type weapon found too dangerous.    Good video on the subject.   Hugs

Democrat Blasts GOP For Ditching Pride Month

The right is willing to threaten violence and to follow through on that violence to stop pride events or any LGBTQ+ events from happing.   They are trying to make gay people to scared to be in public, they want to make the LGBTQ+ disappear from society which means removing us from books, movies, and from public sight.   Just the other day 31 domestic terrorist were arrested after they packed themselves in the back of a U-Haul to go to a pride day event.   This reminds me to the way racist use to gather to attack black people demonstrating for equality.   This is domestic terrorism against select groups and it is supported and endorsed by Republicans.   Hugs

MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart talks to Democrat Jeremy Moss, Michigan’s only openly gay state senator, after his Republican colleagues refused to approve the exact same Pride Month resolution that passed last year. Moss noted in his remarks to Republicans that it’s not surprising this happened during an election year.

Extremist Pastor Claims Patriot Front Are Secretly Antifa Even Though At Least One Of Them Attends His Church

Extremist Pastor Claims Patriot Front Are Secretly Antifa Even Though At Least One Of Them Attends His Church

What really scares me beyond the violent ideas and seemingly in love with that violence this guy is, I have some people I really care about in this region of the country.  To those in this region of the country please be safe, and know I care about you.   Hugs

Religion News Service reports:

Shortly after 31 members of a white nationalist group were arrested in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, over the weekend, pastor and former Washington state lawmaker Matt Shea claimed on Facebook the men were members of antifa, or anti-fascist demonstrators.

“This attempted ambush from antifa was thwarted,” said Shea, who has previously espoused Christian nationalism and has suggested replacing the existing U.S. government with a form of theocracy. Not only was Shea’s antifa claim untrue, at least one of the arrested men attended Shea’s own church within the last year.

Read the full article. Watch the clip.

Shea last appeared on JMG in March 2022 when he was involved in a suspicious attempt to “rescue” Ukrainian children.

He first earned national headlines in 2019 when leaked chats showed his violent fantasies about executing non-Christians and when it was learned that he had participated in militia drills to train young men for “biblical warfare.”

Shea advocates for the creation of a 51st US state based on “biblical law.” He has also said that all American men who fail to avow allegiance to Jesus should be executed.

He was expelled by the Washington state Republican caucus but refused to resign even after the feds found that he had “participated in an act of domestic terrorism against the United States” by helping plan the armed takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon in 2016.

He did not seek reelection in 2020 and is now the pastor of Covenant Christian Church in Spokane.

So, if Democrats win an election there’s voter fraud and it’s a stolen election.
If Republicans win, it’s all fair and legal.
If rioters get caught it’s Antifa.
If rioters get away with it they’re patriots.

His infatuation with training young men and that bit about “rescuing Ukrainian children” sets off all kinds of alarms. Check this one’s crawlspace and his hard drive.

If “antifa” had a fraction of the power that the RWNJs think they have, TFG would never have set foot in the White House.

This guy kills me, the personification of a man not only smaller in stature but frankly, an 11 year old could beat his ass.

He’s such a nothing little pussy with all of these fantasies of killing everyone because he believes incredibly stupid nonsense and we don’t.

I hope he talks shit to the wrong person and they end him

Arkansas “Moms For Liberty” Activist Caught On Tape Musing About “Plowing Down” Local Librarians With Gun

Arkansas “Moms For Liberty” Activist Caught On Tape Musing About “Plowing Down” Local Librarians With Gun

This is what passes as morality from the anti-LGBTQ+ crowd.   Hugs

The Arkansas Times reports:

An audio recording from a recent Moms for Liberty meeting in Cabot captures a group member musing about gunning down a school librarian over tension about what books are appropriate for young readers. The person who captured that audio at a June 9 meeting at Crossroads Cafe in Cabot asked to remain anonymous.

The person said keeping audio records of public meetings is simply their normal practice, but that they decided to share this one because it was disturbing. The person confirmed the voice in the recording belongs to Melissa “Missy” Bosch, the leader of an anti-mask effort in the Cabot School District last year.

Media Matters reports:

In the audio obtained by Media Matters, the chapter’s head of communications and media, Melissa “Missy” Bosch, complained about librarians in the district, saying, “I’m telling you, if I was — any mental issues, they would all be plowed down with a freaking gun by now.”

She was made aware of the recorded audio and took to Facebook falsely claiming it was “illegally recorded” and “illegally spliced.” It wasn’t — Arkansas is a one-party consent state and Media Matters has reviewed the original recording in full.

Bosch also threatened legal action in her post, claiming to know “some fantastic lawyers,” and she said her comments came while she was talking about “making librarians who make 85k a year answer to parents when we ask how sexually explicit books got into the library.”

Media Matters notes that the lawyer Bosch hired for her anti-mask lawsuit also represented…wait for it…Josh Duggar.

In 1976 I was a scared teenager who timidly checked out a book at our local public library entitled “Society and the healthy homosexual” by George Weinberg. It changed my life for the better and I’ll be forever grateful to Mr. Weinberg and also grateful for the fact that I was even able to check that book out in the first place. It was a lifeline that saved me.

If Trump did nothing else, he certainly emboldened the sick, festering, hateful, violent
crazies to expose who they really are…… It’s going to be hard if not impossible to put that genie back in the bottle.
