Idaho Gov Candidate: “Christ Will Reign” When I Win

Idaho Gov Candidate: “Christ Will Reign” When I Win

Raw Story reports:

Idaho’s right-wing Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin vowed that “Christ will reign” if she is elected governor. The lieutenant governor is looking to unseat incumbent Gov. Brad Little, also a Republican, and she’s drawn the endorsement of former president Donald Trump after she defended him during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s program on Fox News, and she has campaigned with election conspiracists such as Stew Peters.

Read the full article.

Last month McGeachin held a rally with Peters at which he repeated his claim that COVID is caused by snake venom in the water supply meant to turn you into “Satanic hybrids.” Which is arguably better than becoming flesh-eating zombies.

In addition to Peters, who has called for executing prominent Democrats and Anthony Fauci, McGeachin’s rallies have featured a cornucopia of crazies, including white supremacists, QAnon nutbags, and militia leaders.

In March, McGeachin spoke at the convention of Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi leader Nick Fuentes. Which is what Jesus would want.

On two occasions last year, McGeachin took advantage of Gov. Brad Little’s out of state trips to issue orders repealing his COVID protocols. Little undid her stunts each time upon his return.

I was watching TV yesterday with the boyfriend and a commercial came on for the batshit crazy Ark thingy. The commercial featured a daddy, mommy, and two child giraffes checking out how amazing the ark was and how much they loved the space. I thought it was just a pair, not a whole family. I guess they don’t understand their own fairy tales.

This shit is getting too crazy. Specific, obviously anti-American statements like this really should disqualify people from running. Proclaiming her religion as above everyone else’s (or lack thereof) should instantly be enough to pull her name off the ballot. How much craziness are we all to endure? Seriously, I’m glad I’m in my final stretch.

If only there were something in the country’s constitution about it.

Unfortunately the book-worshippers use the Constitution like they use their Bibles: if they even read it, they try to exegize phrasings that suit their hate agendas and ignore what might constrain *them.*

gyges NZArtist • 12 hours ago

Pretty sure there’s something in the very first amendment about this. I think they call these first ten amendments The Bill of Rights, or something like that. Perhaps I am just misremembering things.

Oh good. So the hungry will be fed (ample SNAP), the sick will be healed (universal health care), the rich will give to the poor (massive tax hikes for them and a massive increase in minimum wage for people who actually work), and every neighbor will be loved (no discrimination against the LGBT community). BITCH PLEASE.

If her Jesus was so almighty, why does he need this boob to help him reign? Can’t he do it himself?

Mitch McConnell Says National Abortion ‘Possible’ Under GOP Senate Control

The problem is the majority of this court is driven not by law but by religion.  They are doing the work of their god.  Same with a lot of Republican Governors who are trying to restrict the federal right of easy access to the so called abortion pills.   This SCOTUS is not willing to accept any laws that allow access to abortion or access to means to do it.  The people who analyze this say that the SCOTUS would simply strike down a pro-abortion law from the US congress even after saying it should be given back to the people’s representatives to decide.   Because the intent is to deny abortion no matter what and they don’t mind showing the hypocrisy in their rulings to do so.   They already have in the Texas anti-abortion shadow docket rulings.  This is 100% religion driven.  Alito given the right to write the opinion was deliberate as he is the most caustic to any allowance of abortion.  The release of the opinion was designed to stop any wavering right wing judges from moving to the other side.   Thank Ginni and Clarenc Thomas for the leak.   Ginni Thomas already leaked other documents and things about the court when it was in the rights favor to do so.  And the US moves to a theocracy unless somehow the democrats overwhelm gerrymandering and the new maga election officials to somehow fix this.  But I won’t count on it as Pelosi and the Dem leadership is backing an anti-choice Dem over a pro-choice Dem.  So abortion rights for women are really not that important to the Democratic leadership.

Taliban Announces Afghan Women Must Cover Entirely, Stay Mostly Indoors

Is this what the religious SCOTUS want for US women.  The men to control their lives to the point where the men get punished for a woman’s actions because women have no agency and must be controlled like livestock?   We see the extremes when religion takes over a country, yet a segment of the US is driving us to that.   For years people said it couldn’t happen because we have a constitution and laws … well now we see what can happen if you install religious ideologues on the highest court that makes rulings on if a law is legal, and they are driven to support their religion’s rules over the constitution’s protections.   We become a country where religion becomes the most important aspect, where religion has the final say in a person’s rights or life.  This so against what the founders of this country really wanted it is stunning it is happening.   But one small group of the population wanted it and they worked hard through decades to get it.   This is the first time ever that SCOTUS has ruled that the constitution doesn’t support existing rights.  Never has SCOTUS been regressive, it was always progressive.  Until it was stacked with complete republican ideologs.   

“This is not about religion,” says Amna Nawaz on the heels of the Taliban’s announcement that women must cover entirely and stay indoors except for necessity. “This is about control.” »

Why The Russian Invasion Of Ukraine Will Continue

Professor Nina Khrushcheva and Gen. Steph Twitty join Morning Joe to discuss the status of the Russian invasion of Ukraine as Russia marks Victory Day in Moscow.

Retired general explains how to prevent Putin from using tactical nuke

Again I wish I did not have to use CNN.   I looked for this information on MSNBC and CBS and did not find it.  Sorry but again the CC is garbage.  It would make more sense if it was Klingon.  But the information this general is giving seems very important to me.   We need to stop dubbing around and mobilize the delivery of what the Ukrainian military needs as a priority right now.   Also we need to get our ships into the black sea.   They do not need to confront the Russian ships just distract them.  Right now Russia has at least 6 ships and two subs constantly bombarding the Ukrainian port cities.   How long do you think any city / country can take that?  Don’t forget that Russia just bombed a school full of civilians.  Putin is using the black sea as his personal lake to attack the Ukrainians.   The US is the only country at this point that can stop that.   If we have the courage of our ancestors.   This general says that come cold weather over there and after China gives their ruler another term the two countries will be able to work together to pour lots of heavy armaments that will steam roll over the Ukrainian defenders and could take the country.   Time doesn’t work for Ukraine.  The longer this goes on the weaker their position gets.  Ukraine is a democracy that is seeing its citizens wiped out in a war started by a dictator who wants their country.    Do we let it happen?  Does the world let it happen?   The US has an 800 billion dollar a year military, can’t we use it to save the people of Ukraine from bastards that rape 11 year old’s and pull the teeth of preteens to force confessions from their parents?   Any way for those who can hear it here is the video.    OT.  The fuzzy head full of cotton candy feeling is mostly gone and my sinuses / breathing is good thanks to cold medications.  Retired General Wesley Clark shares his opinion for how to stop Putin from using a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine.

Man Who Taunted Roe Protesters Isn’t FDNY Member, He’s Member Of NY Young GOP Club’s “Catholic Caucus”

Man Who Taunted Roe Protesters Isn’t FDNY Member, He’s Member Of NY Young GOP Club’s “Catholic Caucus”

This is an update on the earlier post of the story.

NBC New York reports:

A man in FDNY clothes seen taunting pro-abortion rights protesters outside a church, in a video that went viral this weekend on social media, isn’t actually affiliated with the department in any way, officials said Monday.

The man, wearing a jacket with various FDNY logos and an “America First” cap, appears to tell the women they do not have a choice in having children; he appears to tell one woman that her body is his and she will have his baby.

The video was shared by far-right members of Congress like Rep. Paul Gosar and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who both called the man and his fellow counter-protesters “heroes”. The video stirred enough controversy that “FDNY” was a trending topic across the United States on Twitter Monday morning.

Read the full article. Watch Gosar’s creepy video.

You know who else opposed abortion? The 9/11 terrorists.
So much for his FDNY fandom.

Barry William Teske • 22 minutes ago • edited

So, catholics, (and I use a small ‘c’ on purpose), approve of violent rape.
Because that is what that dead-beat possible future dad is saying.

What he is also saying with his behaviour is that he is a lost cause.

So, LOCK HIM UP!

Well, they do worship a god that was conceived without any meaningful consent on the part of the human mother.

Gosar and the rest of the Sedition Caucus in the House know exactly what they’re doing by applauding this stuff.

Unlike Democrats, Republicans are masters of messaging. They know exactly what their base wants to hear, and they give it to them.

A Catholic Republican threatening random women with rape. Yup, that is quite on-brand.

Very nice of him to advertise the fact that he’s a raping incel

Women love that

Christian Republicans support raping and imprisoning women, that’s your daughters, etc, America.

Meanwhile, the Catholic Church still claims to represent morality and wants to raise your kids, when the ones they already raised are clearly boorish rapist thugs.

FEC Again Warns Boebert Over Campaign Violations

FEC Again Warns Boebert Over Campaign Violations

Typical Republican, the rules don’t apply to her.  Far too many in congress feel that the job is a golden ticket to increase their personal wealth.   I wish the punishment was to take twice the illegal amount away from her but the people making the rules … are the same people that are breaking them.   

Colorado’s Daily Sentinel reports:

Rep. Lauren Boebert continues to have troubles with her campaign finance filings. In a warning letter from the Federal Election Commission made public on Thursday, Boebert’s latest campaign finance filing for the first quarter of 2022 shows her campaign accepted as much as $30,000 in contributions that exceed federal campaign finance limits.

The six-page letter notes 20 separate incidents where the campaign took more than the $2,900 that is allowed for individuals to give in any one election. Her campaign has been cited several times in the past for similar filing problems, including accepting donations in excess of limits, and under-reporting beginning and ending balance totals.

The FEC sent a warning letter? Despite Boopsie’s campaign having been cited several times in the past for similar problems?

Oh, ffs. ENOUGH ALREADY!

Important, I think, to keep in mind what the ultimate goal of today’s Republican Party is: the establishment of a theocracy in the United States. That’s the “command” coming from the party’s puppet masters, the religious right. Any government department that gets in the way of establishing that theocracy is, for them, the enemy.

Readers here will recall the theofascist monster, Betsy DeVos, that the Mar-a-Lago rapist appointed as his Secretary of Education. Fortunately for America, she failed in her mission – which was to destroy the country’s public school system.

Education of the public is a threat to theofascists.

Man Accused of Attacking Trans Centre Charged With Terrorism Connections

https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkpnzv/trans-centre-attack-seth-bertrand-neo-nazi-group

A 19-year-old Canadian man is accused of joining an Atomwaffen offshoot, which is a designated terror group.

A 19-year-old Canadian man accused of attacking a trans support centre has been charged for allegedly joining a violent neo-Nazi group that has been designated a terrorist group.

A 19-year-old Canadian man accused of attacking a trans support centre has been charged for allegedly joining a violent neo-Nazi group that has been designated a terrorist group. 

RCMP alleged that Seth Bertrand, of Windsor, Ontario, attempted to join the National Socialist Order, an offshoot of the infamous neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division. Atomwaffen has been connected to five murders since it was founded in 2017. 

RCMP said that between February 12 and May 20, 2021, “an individual committed various hate-motivated offences in the Windsor area.” 

“As a result of the investigation, RCMP INSET was able to determine that the individual filed an online application to join a listed terrorist entity, the Atomwaffen Division (also known as National Socialist Order), and offered his skills and commitment to do things for this listed terrorist entity,” reads a press release on the arrest.

 

Last April, Bertrand was charged with three counts of mischief for allegedly throwing a brake rotor through the windows of a Windsor trans support centre and tagging the walls with slurs and a swastika. Local media reports the attack on the centre occurred “sometime on Feb. 21 or 22.” He was also charged with vandalism for throwing a rock through the window of an LGBTQ couple who had a pride flag  displayed. Attached to the rock was a note that said “Atomwaffen knows where you are.”

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network wrote that Bertrand’s “online footprint shows someone fixated on the military and who openly advertises his involvement in the “far-right and interest in groups like Atomwaffen.” Researchers also found Bertrand to be in connection with other far-right extremists, including one who was charged with plotting a mass murder.

Bertrand has been charged with participating in the activity of a terrorist group “for the purpose of enhancing the ability of any terrorist group to facilitate or carry out a terrorist activity.” He faces a prison term of up to 10 years if found guilty. 

There’s been a recent rash of neo-Nazi activity in the area where Bertrand was arrested. Earlier this year, a Telegram page was opened, advertising a new “Pro-White activist movement” that was recruiting neo-Nazis in the Windsor and surrounding area. The group’s actions appear to mostly have been pasting “White lives matter” or other neo-Nazi stickers to signs in the area. 

“We are a new Pro-White activist movement in Canada,” the organizers wrote. “We are dedicated to preserving our people and way of life.”

Atomwaffen is a neo-Nazi accelerationist group whose main aim is to create chaos to accelerate the fall of society so they can build a white ethno-state from the ashes. The members, who are primarily young men, are recruited online into the violent community. The group aimed to create autonomous cells of neo-Nazis wreaking havoc on their local communities. 

Atomwaffen was designated a terrorist organization by the Canadian government in February 2021. The group, and its many offshoots, have been the focus of an intense international crackdown by authorities which has seen multiple members be arrested and sentenced for a litany of crimes ranging from petty vandalism to murder. It’s much smaller and less popular than it was at its zenith several years ago, but it and its offshoots still exist and are active. 

Internal chat communications seen by VICE World News show that there have been several Canadian members of Atomwaffen and similar groups over the past five years. Most notably, Patrik Mathews, a former Canadian Armed Force reservist, was found to be a member of The Base and went on the run after being exposed. He was arrested in the United States after an FBI operation found members of the group were plotting assassinations and mass murders. He was sentenced to nine years in prison. 

This is the first time someone in Canada has been charged with terrorism offenses for joining a neo-Nazi accelerationist group.
