We need to take these people seriously and what they are trying to do must be fought with everything we can bring to the fight. They don’t want a democracy and they have increased their reach, their actual authority in our country by a large amount. If they take over, if they install the Christian Taliban we won’t get it back. Remember Iran was a secular country before the over throw of the Shaw, and then the religious minority took over. That was back in 1978 and that religious minority has increased their hold over the population / country. They took over the schools, they took over the news systems, they restricted all aspects of the people’s lives to try to protest or even understand what was reality. Religion and the religious leaders took over the entire society and made the reality of the people what the religion’s leaders desired. This is what these people want for the US. This is what they are working hard as they can make happen in the US. Hugs
Via email from Gab founder and CEO Andrew Torba:
Gab is releasing our first book this week titled Christian Nationalism: A Biblical Guide To Taking Dominion and Discipling Nations where among other things we will explore the true Christian founding of America that happened long before 1776.
Christian Nationalism is a spiritual, political, and cultural movement comprised of Christians who are working to build a parallel Christian society grounded in a Biblical worldview.
This book is a guide for Christians to take dominion and disciple their families, churches, and all nations for the glory of Jesus Christ our King. (Matthew 28:19)
The book is now available to order on Amazon and we need your help to skyrocket it to the top of the charts and make disciples of Jesus Christ out of Amazon readers.
We will be releasing the book on as many platforms as possible in order to get this important message out to the masses.
There are many books popping up about Christian Nationalism that are written by woke neoliberal elites who hate you.
We want our book to stand out among the crowd and be the defining book on Christian Nationalism to prevent our enemies from subverting the term. We need your help to make this happen.
Please consider ordering a copy today. When you get your copy please leave us a 5 start review to help further boost the book rank.
Together we can make this the number one book on Amazon and either force them to leave it there for millions to see or force them to ban it when the ADL gives them a call, which will futher promote the book’s popularity.
“If you want to know more about Christian Nationalism, this book is for you. You will be getting your info from the horse’s mouth, as it were, instead of from the mainstream media, which is oriented more to the other end of the horse.” -Douglas Wilson, Blog and Mablog
Andrew Torba CEO, Gab.com Jesus Christ is King
On top of including the Amazon link to buy the book (which is currently still up), Torba also links to swag promoting the book – all Christian nationalism memorabilia.
The book is independently published, and Torba's aware that @amazon can take it down at any time. But even if that were to happen, Torba would take it as a victory for further "promoting" his book.
Following news that the top secret documents Donald Trump stole include nuclear secrets, his legal team led by Alina Habba went on radical right wing media to discuss the “funny memes” about Trump stealing the records. File this under insanity.
Again that law pushed by DeathSantis and adored by the maga bigots is preventing the teaching of US history and the education of the students is white washed to remove any LGBTQ+ achievements or advancements. If you go to the article linked you will find more information such as below. Also please notice that the Brownshirt enforcement arm of the republican party the Proud Boys showed up to make a show of threating the board to intimidate the board to vote for the dictates of the right wing. Is this what US democracy has become, that might makes right, that threats and intimidation will win any contest. I worry about the up coming election due to this stuff. It is worth noting that all across the country the right is using violence to stop legal LGBTQ+ events simply because they don’t like them and they hate LGBTQ+ people. Now in Florida it is illegal to even tell students that gay couples exist and that they cannot bully gay students. In Florida it is illegal to mention court cases dealing with same sex marriage and cases where trans gender students won the right to use the bathrooms they identify with. It is illegal to teach facts in Florida schools. Hugs.
Aside from recognizing October as LGBTQ history month, the proposal was tweaked this year to explore the possibility of providing resources for teachers in 12th-grade social studies to teach about “important landmark civil rights” cases. That includes the Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling which recognized same-sex marriage and Bostock v. Clayton County, a 2020 high court decision that protects gay or transgender employees from discrimination.
Some speakers at the meeting urged the board to pass the designation, contending that it would benefit marginalized LGBTQ students who face a higher risk of depression and suicide. They said that “LGBTQ history is American history” and it would help students be better allies to their peers.
That law, FL HB1557 (22R), prohibits teachers from leading classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation for students in kindergarten through third grade. It bans such lessons for older students unless they are “age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate.”
Backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the law is facing several lawsuits and is making an impact on how school districts approach local policies this year. Miami Dade, for example, wavered over proposed sexual education textbooks in July, rejecting the books before later reconsidering the vote and approving their use. Other school districts have reviewed LGBTQ student support guides in response to the law. These guides are used to help support LGBTQ students and offer guidance to teachers on how to handle such issues.
While some board members agreed with facets of the proposal, the overwhelming majority opposed the resolution this time around, warning that it could run afoul of the new parental rights law.
The Miami Dade School Board on Wednesday night struck down a proposal that would have recognized October as “LGBTQ history month” out of concern that it would violate the state’s Parental Rights in Education law, known by opponents as “Don’t Say Gay.”
Miami school board members passed a similar resolution acknowledging LGBTQ history month in 2021 by a 7-1 vote but found themselves in a different situation this fall under the Parental Rights in Education law.
Although the board’s own attorney said the recognition was on a solid legal footing, board members voted 1-8 against the idea after dozens of parents and community members raised their opposition at a marathon meeting. “I do believe this is in direct violation of our parental rights bill,” said board member Christi Fraga, who voted against the measure.
Watch the clip and you’ll see that the Proud Boys showed up to scream against us. Give the many tweets below a minute to fully load so you can see the photos.
When Miami's School Board considered observing LGBTQ History Month, opponents accused them of "indoctrination" and "imposing ideology" and said teachers should leave conversations about sexuality and gender identity to parents.https://t.co/fVNOFXYfzf
Miami-Dade School Board rejects motion to recognize October as LGBTQ History Month and teaching 12th graders about two Supreme Court cases (recognizing same sex marriage & finding employers can't fire someone for being gay).https://t.co/VZ7LOCjuaQ by @smbrugal
🚨 Outside the Miami-Dade school board right now — a group of 10+ Miami Proud Boys and allies are huddled around intimidating community members from supporting a resolution to declare LGBTQ History Month for October.
Fortunately public comments overwhelmingly support LGBTQ History Month: 24 in favor, 12 opposed. 🥳🌈
Let’s meet the Proud Boys: This is Nowell Salgueiro, a Miami Proud Boy with a criminal record and an elected member of the Miami GOP executive committee. @MiamiDadeGOPpic.twitter.com/WHikypRP6v
Next up is a secret Proud Boy, an 81 year old man named Herbert Silver aka “Vaca Loca.” He’s been hysterically screaming outside there for 4 hours about media, Hitler & more.
He’s a regular at demos & events with the Miami PB + can be seen wearing their hat at a holiday party. pic.twitter.com/ugI5aJkAP4
Next up we have Maurice Symonette of “Blacks for Trump” & a regular at Proud Boy functions.

Maybe she’s worried her hate agenda is gonna lose? Maybe thinking about how her masked Proud Boys pals outside are a bad look? Maybe picking her nose? 👃 pic.twitter.com/dsRlaH1n83
Is opposition to LGBTQ History Month at the Miami-Dade school board @MDCPS motivated by hatred?
From the mouths of the Proud Boys outside:

This is exactly what DeathSantis wanted in his first step law. The eventual goal of the far-right fascists is an anti-gay “Gay Propaganda” law like in Russia which if in effed here would shut down everything we’ve ever achieved.
He also is glad to see the goon squad come out to intimidate the board. He forgets that thugs remain thugs, and can also bully the folks who think they can manage them. This is why we discourage people from letting their leopards sleep on the bed, in case they happen to wake up without a face…
I similarly ask people when they choose their religions and if they actually tried out other ones to see what fit or if they just always went with what they were socialized into.
I’m struck again by how the “Proud Boys” are pretty much straight up thugs – and how they don’t seem to understand that ‘their’ group was stood up by the anti-minority DeVos family. I guess those leopards won’t eat their faces?
At the rate things are going backwards in Florida, I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Miami School Board voting to recognize October as Anita Bryant month. : (
If Florida teachers can say gay, then students might learn that American might not have existed without a gay man.
Baron Friedrich von Steuben, a Prussian military man hired by George Washington to whip the Continental Army into shape during the darkest days of the Revolutionary War, is known for his bravery and the discipline and grit he brought to the American troops.
I don’t get it. A lot of these “proud” “boys” are POC. It’s kinda like Jews joining the KKK. They might allow you to join but you’re just a ruse. They use you so they can say, “We’re not white nationalists. Look how many ‘spics’ we have in our group.”
Yes I am delaying, Yes I cannot focus, yes inside myself I am still panicking. Ron is trying to get me to eat a sandwich and a salad. I really just want to go back to bed. Hugs
Prager is a paid by the right wing normally by the Mercer family to the tune of 36 million dollars to push on YouTube the conservative whatever Republican party wants push is. Sometimes it is very painful to see the positions they push to forward to advance the republican points. The bad part is the republicans are funding this. Yet there is no left democratic alternative paid for by left wing billionaires. The right wing has been doing this for decades. The Mercers are White power white Christian supremacy’s who have founded and pay for many right-wing media outlets. Including Steve Bannon. The left seriously need to up their game on this. The point is these people want to change the world to have only their accepted ones in charge of everything and the left wants everyone to have a say in how everything is run. But our side either doesn’t have the money or won’t spend it on these issues. Hugs
Dennis Prager: “Many Slaveholders Were Nice People”
“One of the confusing things about life is how many nice people help destroy societies. This is not meant at all facetiously. It is meant literally.
“We think that people who do bad things, either think they’re doing bad and so they’re truly evil or they will be obviously bad in interpersonal relations, but it doesn’t work that way.
“Nice people can support vicious things. The human being is a macro and a micro being among the many, many differences within each of us. There were undoubtedly many nice slaveholders in the South. This is not meant facetiously again, it’s meant literally.
“If you had been invited to one of their homes, you would have been treated beautifully, but they supported a vicious system. The left is a vicious system. It’s not slavery.
“Although the end result of all leftism is the enslavement of populations, not as in transatlantic slave trade or chattel slavery, but in the diminution of human rights and liberties, which is a form of enslavement.” – Dennis Prager.

PREVIOUSLY ON JMG: Prager declares he’d tell grieving parents that that they’re “wrong” to oppose gun control. Prager claims Trump “has never made any bigoted remarks.” Prager says most gay people “cannot think as a person.” Prager claims that if the US were to split, “the Christian side would prosper.” Prager declares the Capitol riot to be a “Reichstag fire.” Prager defends anti-vaxxers by claiming that gay men were not “pariahs” during the 80s height of the AIDS epidemic. Prager declares that doctors “know nothing” about COVID and that everybody should stock up on horse paste. Prager declares that President Obama has “zero masculinity.” Prager rages that if the left really cared about black people, they’d tell them to “elevate their moral standards.” Prager laments that nobody says “Negro” anymore and that he can’t use the N-word.
Every Catholic priest ever is a nice person until he gets caught with his hands down the cookie jars pants. Hitler was a vegetarian who love dogs and children, but didn’t like Jews at all.
Slavery had nothing to do with left and right. It had only to do with right and wrong
‘Slaveholder’ is a term which vastly understates the vicious brutality of human enslavement.
The practice of enslaving someone always included torture and dehumanization. There was quite literally a profession known as “slave breakers”—men who would travel the slave states offering services to ensure that children or newly enslaved adults were physically and psychologically broken.
When Dennis here talks about visitors being treated kindly and generously by slave owners, he’s referring only to white people. But y’all already knew that.
No, they weren’t nice. They enslaved other human beings. That’s not nice. Many of them (like Thomas Jefferson) were well aware that it was immoral but kept doing it because it was so financially advantageous. (Too many obvious parallels to our own times to bother with specific examples here.) No, they weren’t nice.
Now were some better to the people they were enslaving? Obviously. But if there were that many “nice” slave owners why did so many risk death and torture to escape? I’ve had some shitty jobs but none so bad I’d have risk death or flogging to escape! Not even close to that. Were some so beat down from a lifetime of abuse that they didn’t try to escape? Sure. That’s a whole field of psychology. but there lives were still horror shows.
Many thanks to the scholars who are researching and writing about this topic. I’ve been reading a lot of their work over the past five years or so and I have learned so much, all of it horrifying. The fact that we have white people trying to minimize 250 years of horrors (longer on other continents) is infuriating. (I can only imagine how much that angers the descendants of enslaved people. I’m white and I’m livid.) There’s no reason to excuse slavery. It should never have happened and it’s disrespectful to the people abused in that system to pretend that it wasn’t that bad.
