Normally I do not post these compilations of the shows, but this time the shows information on the different topics is important to share. For those using CC I watched it with the CC on for a bit and it was spot on even to the point of getting the person being interviewed stutter between words. It should be OK.

Anti-LGBTQ Texas GOP Megadonor Charged With Two Felonies Related To 2020 “Voter Fraud” Search Incident
The Texas Tribune reports:
Conservative activist Steven Hotze on Wednesday was indicted on two felony charges related to his alleged involvement in an air conditioning repairman being held at gunpoint in 2020 during a bizarre search for fraudulent mail ballots that did not exist, according to his attorney, Gary Polland.
Hotze, 71, was indicted by a Harris County grand jury and faces one count of unlawful restraint and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The charges stem from Hotze’s hiring of more than a dozen private investigators to look for voter fraud in Harris County ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Read the full article.
Hotze last appeared on JMG when he left a voice mail for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, telling him to “shoot to kill” Black Lives Matter activists.
You may recall that Steven Hotze has compared gays to “communist termites” eating away at America’s moral fabric. He is also fond of declaring that it’s now a hate crime to denounce homosexuality.
It was Hotze who bankrolled the successful campaign to repeal Houston’s “wicked, evil, Satanic” LGBT rights ordinance, during which he compared gays to rapists and murderers.
According to Hotze, same-sex marriage will result in children “practicing sodomy” in kindergarten.
In 2017, he appeared here when he “prophesied” that God will deliver “just retribution” to lawmakers who vote for LGBT rights.
When he’s not calling on God to kill politicians or for the governor to kill Black Lives Matter activists, Hotze sells “miracle” supplements because high cholesterol doesn’t really cause heart disease.
Hotze regularly quotes QAnon slogans.
These elderly fascists sure do want to usher in their Old World Order before the Reaper comes to drag them to Hell, don’t they?
The goal is white-Christian supremacy. If voting gets in the way, then voting must not be permitted.
Police: Brutal Beating That Left Florida Gay Man Blind Came Because Victim Was Dating Family’s Son
I have waited to post about this as I wanted to be sure what the real issues were. The violent family’s lawyer has tried hard to muddy the water with attacks on the character of the victim. This was a horrible attack that left the victim badly injured, afraid and from reports blinded all because the family found out that the adult younger son was having a secret sexual affair with the victim. From what I have read prior the family forced the adult son that was having sex with the victim to accompany them to the victim’s home and help them get the victim to let them into his home and then injure, rob, and restrain / detain him. All of this because the parents and older brother couldn’t stand the idea of the younger adult son have male with male sexual relations. This is the results that come from the right-wing hate preaching about gay people, this is the results of don’t say gay talk about the LGBTQ+ are pedophiles that want to rape and sexualize children. This shows clearly how dangerous this talk pushed on the right is.
Miami’s ABC News affiliate reports:
Members of a Ukrainian refugee family appeared in a South Florida courtroom on Wednesday. That’s where they are facing hate crime and attempted murder charges for an alleged family ambush.
Police say Oleh Makarenko was in a nine-month homosexual relationship, which would end with his lover being beaten so badly by Makarenko’s family that the victim became blind. Authorities allege that Oleh Makarenko, who is also known as Alex, was being forced to marry a woman by his mother.
On Aug. 6, three members of the Makarenko family barged into the victims home, according to police. A police report stated that, “All four of the suspects continued holding him and began punching, kicking, and hitting him all over his face and body.”
Miami’s Fox News affiliate reports:
According to the arrest documents, 19-year-old Oleh Makarenko and the victim had been romantically involved for about nine months, but the victim said Oleh told him his father was not accepting him as gay.
After a two-week break in the relationship, on Aug. 6, the victim said he remotely opened his community’s gate believing it was a friend when it was actually the Makarenko family. The victim went outside but quickly went back into his apartment.
“There’s no indication that anything was said or done to show that they had specific intent to kill,” said public defender Katherine Lopez. “It seems like, based on my reading, that their probable cause for beating him was because of a relationship with a family member of theirs.”
In the non-embeddable video at the first link, the female fiance of the gay son denies everything because she has an engagement ring.
Evangelical groups in the U.S. have been, for at least a couple of decades, sponsoring immigration of a small subset of Ukraine’s population that is too extreme in its religious viewpoints to get along well with anyone else in Ukraine. They arrive as religious refugees and immediately join with their U.S. evangelical sponsors to try to impose their religious extremism on others. I don’t know if that is this family’s story, but their actions fit the profile. I have friends in Ukraine that I chat with every week, and I have no sense that the evangelical-sponsored religious refugees are at all typical of the Ukrainian population as a whole. In fact, that is why they leave Ukraine, because Ukraine isn’t oppressively religious enough for them.

Let’s see how long it takes before a Christian legal group takes up their case and claims they’re being persecuted for their faith.
I can just imagine the family’s defense to this awful crime: “[the victim] was grooming our child.” That should at least earn them pardons from De Santis.

Those are already close to the claims being made by their friends. They would have us believe that the family are falsely accused Christians who pray a lot.
“They are a Christian family, believers in God, members of the church and get together on the weekends to pray in their family circle and community.”
Interestingly, the arguments that their friends use for why they must be innocent, make me more likely to believe they are guilty.

This is as awful and inhuman as “honor killings” that take place around the world…usually driven by religious motives.
Unfortunately way to many societies around the world are so brainwashed by The CHURCH this shit is far to common. They move to a new country to start a new life and because of their blatant ignorance taught by the CHURCH it all goes up it smoke Wake up Frankie Graham and all you other NUTZ quit spreading the hate
The Christian Right has been importing Christian Righties and their thuggery from Eastern Europe for some time, taking advantage of these programs, then of course projecting that onto Democrats and brown people.
Presumably his parents and his church succeeded in creating such an astounding level of shame and self-loathing about being gay, that he was willing to participate with his family in the attempted murder of his boyfriend. The seething hate that is required to do something like this is so disturbing.
NBC News Reporter Meets Ukraine Boy Whose Mother Died Of Starvation
Make no mistake, look at this boy and know that the US / NATO / The World could have stopped this tragedy and can stop more like it from happening. There is a whole lot of people trapped in Mariupol and they are sitting ducks for Russian guns. They are starving. There are going to be more kids without mothers and without fathers. That is if the kids survive themselves. We have the ability to stop it, do we have the heart, the will?

Arizona Republican US Senate Candidate Implies He’s State’s Savior In Ad That Debuted On Easter
More hyper religious people trying to take over secular government for their god. But they claim to love and be the only supporters of the US constitution that it is clear they do not understand. Beyond that a Christian who keeps putting “Let’s Go Brandon.” in everyone’s face knowing what it stands for. Seems real Jesus like to me. But that is like the church group that thought it was a great idea to sing their favorite Christian songs to a plane full of people during a flight. They did not care that some people did not have their faith nor their taste in music. Forcing Jesus on everyone was the goal. I will post those two stories next.
The Phoenix New Times reports:
Retired energy executive and self-funded political newcomer Jim Lamon is in a crowded field trying to secure the Republican nomination in the U.S. Senate race.
Lamon is outspending his eight GOP opponents ahead of the August 2 primary, but the latest in a string of controversial television ads rubbed even conservative Christian Republican voters the wrong way.
After 30 seconds of pious platitudes in the new ad, Lamon hints he’s Arizona’s savior. It’s a close marriage of church and state that doesn’t sit right with everyone in his target audience, a departure from previous attempts.
Read the full article.
Lamon last appeared on JMG for a campaign ad that shows him shooting actors depicting Sen. Mark Kelly, President Biden, and Nancy Pelosi.
Before that, we noted that his debut campaign ad showed him saying, “Let’s Go Brandon.”
He first came to our attention last June when it was revealed that he had donated over $2 million to far-right and QAnon groups.
Lamon was among Arizona’s fake electors.
Watch the clip.
Jim Lamon’s ads are the most vile and disgusting political ads I’ve ever seen, and in AZ, that’s saying a lot. His first ad featured repeated “let’s go Brandon” chants. Later he made news for an ad in which he portrays an old west sheriff, and shoots actors portraying President Biden, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Kelly (who’s wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in the head in an assassination attempt. Incredibly cruel.) Now he’s trying to pass himself off as a “good Christian” …I nearly vomited the first time I saw his latest piece of crap. It’s worth noting that Lamon was one Arizona’s phony electors as well, and should be rotting in prison for that. His ads perfectly represent everything that is wrong with his party, everything wrong with conservative White males, and everything that is wrong with the USA.
The Founding Fathers never ever intended church and state to operate together In fact it was quite the opposite They stated that state operated free and clear of church and church had the freedom to practice in is chosen manner but not interfering with state

The New Dawn is Christian speak for Easter. The change brought to the world with the life and resurrection of What’s-His-Name. With the empty cross and the sunrise…umm…he comes really, really close to blasphemy.
It was The New Dawn for the world.
