A draft final report from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission released on Friday calls for “building bridges between church and state,” a seeming reversal of a longstanding U.S. legal principle. “Americans must know their rights and stand with courage when those rights are challenged,” the commission’s report reads.
“To preserve this freedom, we must build bridges, not walls, between the City of God and the City of Man. If we do so, we will pass on a free and prosperous nation to the next generation,” it continues.
The argument is a stark reversal of the legal principle that calls for the separation of church and state. The phrase “separation of church and state” does not explicitly appear in the Constitution, but the Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
Oh, unfortunately, we think about it every day.A “faith director” in every federal agency isn't a victory for religious liberty. It's an attempt to weave religion into the machinery of government. That's exactly why we have church-state separation.
Neither is Jesus.The Constitution says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. "Separation of church and state" is the shorthand for that principle, one the Supreme Court has recognized for decades.
Just remember this is pure pushing the Christian religion and denying that same money to public schools. And if you watch the video the church is hoping this is only a drop in the bucket they can get. Remember these churches don’t pay taxes, and they are not under state laws on what they teach. The don’t allow the general public who pay those taxes including the LGBTQ+. They discriminate against these and other groups due to religious beliefs, and they refuse the enrollment of the disabled because that cuts into their profit. This is a money-making scheme designed to suck public taxpayer money from public schools while not being required to serve all students or pay into the funds they want given to them. This is just an attempt to push religious schools while denying needed funds to public schools. These people want a Christian nationalist nation, and they demand the rest of us pay for it. They have no concern for the truth of history or anyone else’s beliefs; it is their god pushed at your money while you get no services or money for your local schools. Great video I hope you will watch. And I can tell you as an atheist in Florida I am against this hard drive desire of DeathSantis to force his religious views onto me and the children of this state. After all he helped his wife steal a huge amount of money meant for a charity to help sick people and use it for their gain. Hugs
In the coming weeks, the United States plans to provide a welcome gift to white South Africans entering the United States as refugees. They will get an Android tablet, an American flag and copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. They will also receive a packet of literature that provides a sanitized, Trump-approved view of American and South African history, one that criticizes racial equity and civil rights laws and promotes claims of discrimination against white people.
The welcome bags include a report commissioned by Mr. Trump during his first term that downplays the role of slavery in the country’s founding, and a children’s book accusing South Africa’s government of “favoring the Black population.” The gifts would be the latest step by the Trump administration to welcome the white minority in South Africa, even as the president maintains a ban on refugees fleeing from war and persecution everywhere else in the world.
To me and hopefully to everyone this is horrific. But something I have been highlighting here that Israeli is a rouge terrorist government drying to genocide the Palestinian people. It is horrific that a people who experienced such actions would inflict them on others. But this show what can happen when right-wing movements turn into religious domination of the government. The Israel government is now filled with extreme Jewish religious extremists who feel their holy book grants them all the territory around then that is the sovereign territory of other countries. They feel their god gave it to them thousands of years ago so they have the right to take it. Regardless of laws or norms between countries. They want it so it should be theirs. Just like Putin in Ukraine. Israel talked our demented leader into going into war against their enemy which had no benefit for us but we took all the cost and risks. The military equipment and weapons used in the genocide of the Palestinians was paid for by the US taxpayer. Some quotes below. Hugs
The UN commission said in its report, released on Tuesday, that Palestinian children were deliberately targeted and killed during the war, including after a ceasefire came into effect in October 2025.
“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” said Srinivasan Muralidhar, the commission’s chair, in a statement accompanying the report.
“This indicates that such attacks, which killed children in such high numbers, were intentional,” it said. It added that it believed children were targeted collectively because the Israeli security forces considered the civilian population as a whole to be associated with Hamas and other armed groups.
Muralidhar said that by targeting children, Israel was undermining the capacity of the Palestinian people to exist and to determine their future.
The inquiry also found that attacks on healthcare and reproductive facilities affected newborns’ survival and the reported increase in miscarriages, and that nearly all children in Gaza were reported to be in need of psychological support.
It said Palestinian children, especially boys, were subjected to systemic mistreatment in detention, including forced stripping, beatings and food deprivation.
He calls Jews “a malevolent force throughout history,” praises Adolf Hitler as “a great man,” and urges Black Americans to “return to Africa.” Despite that history of hateful comments, he has now become the star of a pair of social-media videos for Tennessee Republican candidate for governor Monty Fritts [photo].
Still, Dane Chisholm, 28, of Rogersville, Tenn., is completely unapologetic about his controversial views. “For the soft and fake ‘Conservatives’ who worry about being called homophobic, racist or Nazi … go sit quietly in a corner,” Chisholm wrote in a June 20 post on X. “The real Christian men – who will save this world – are going to start handling things.”
Fritts, who is running an unapologetically Christian nationalist campaign, did not respond to a text from NewsChannel 5 Investigates about the star of his social-media posts.
Read the full article. Watch the unreal video below.
State Rep. Monty Fritts appeared here in January 2026 when he called for executing supporters of trans healthcare, saying that “such killings align with scripture.”
Fritts appeared here in March 2025 when the Tennessee House advanced his bill declaring July 2025 a “month of fasting and prayer for the physically able and spiritually inclined.”
Last year Fritts sponsored a “chemtrails” bill that would criminalize weather control with fines of “$100,000 per violation.”
Fritts appeared here in January 2025 for his bill making it a felony for state officials to adopt pro-migrant policies.
Fritts first appeared here in 2023 when the Tennessee House approved his bill allowing officiants to refuse to conduct same-sex, interfaith, and interracial marriages.
Ok after reading and highlighting this I feel I need a shower. This is the US that trump has caused to surge and become normal. This is the front runner for governor. I put some quotes from the story below. We have to stomp this out and make it unacceptable again while they are still a small minority. But notice how they wrap themselves in as real christians and Christian nationalist. By doing that they get protection as the law states that religon is a protected class in the law and the SCOTUS has ruled that law really only applies to Christians and to pushing the Christian faith. Saddly we need to know what these people are doing and pushing so we can fight back against them and stop this dragging the country into being Nazi Germany of the 1940s. They are openly racist, openly white supremacist, and openly Christian nationalists, and they are especially open about being willing to be violent to accomplish what they want. Hugs
Still, Dane Chisholm, 28, of Rogersville, Tenn., is completely unapologetic about his controversial views.

Despite that history of hateful comments, he has now become the star of a pair of social-media videos for Tennessee Republican candidate for governor Monty Fritts.

Reached by phone, Chisholm insisted he was not paid for the videos; instead, he said he produced them as part of Fritts’ team of volunteer campaign workers.
“Do I think my words are going to hurt Monty? No,” Chisholm added. “I’m sure there are surface-level thinkers and voters who were probably going to vote the other way anyway. But the idea that an individual separate from him has ‘controversial takes,’ I can’t imagine that goes very far.”
Chisholm appears in the two social-media videos, interviewing voters on the streets of Knoxville in one and chatting with Young Republicans after a forum in another.
View one of the Fritts campaign videos below:
In the videos, Chisholm wears an America First cap with the initials “NJF” – for America First founder Nicholas J. Fuentes – on the back.
Fuentes is the white-nationalist, antisemitic figure whose followers are known as Groypers. Despite the Jewish genocide, Fuentes has called Hitler “cool” and argued that “what Hitler represents is if white people didn’t give a f–k.”
On X, Dane Chisholm describes himself as a Christian who “fearlessly speak[s] the truth.”
And Monty Fritts, the candidate for governor, follows him.
“There’s lots of clues that we’ve been lied to tremendously about who Hitler was,” Chisholm said in a video posted on Easter comparing the Nazi leader to Jesus.
In another post, he wrote: “Hitler was a great man. We’ve been lied to, we know it.”

Dane Chisholm video and post about Adolf Hitler
He has argued that Hitler’s actions “were justified by the necessity of security or defense of his people, to which Jews were internationally plotting to destroy.”
In other posts, he has argued:
COVID was part of a Jewish plot,
“The jews [sic] did kill Jesus Christ, and they have been a malevolentforce throughout history,” and
“Jews only lie when they breathe.”
In a reply to another X account, Chisholm demanded: “shut up jew rat.”
And while he was cordial to a group of young African-American men in one of the videos for Monty Fritts, News Channel 5 Investigates found a post where Chisholm referred to Black people with a shortened version of the n-word and called them “f–king monkeys”
“Don’t forget,” he added, “this racial-tension s— show is only a created distraction by the Jewish ran [sic] and owned press and socials to distract you from their jew [sic] crimes and subversion.”

Dane Chisholm post about Black people and Jews
In a recent interview, Fritts sought to distance himself from some Christian nationalists who have praised Hitler as a much-needed Christian prince.
“You’ll never hear from me that Adolf Hitler was a good guy,” Fritts said. “You’ll never hear that from me. I think he got what he deserved.”
This controversy follows Fritts’ appearance back in December on a podcast hosted by Stew Peters, who has been described by the ADL as “a far-right conspiracy theorist, Christian nationalist and prolific antisemite.”
During that show, Peters acknowledged that Fritts might be opening himself up to criticism.
“You’ll have to understand that I’m toxic. You’ll probably get a hit piece written about you just for appearing on my show,” he added.
Peters has called for what he calls the “final solution” to deport all Jews from America.
Still, when pressed about that appearance, Fritts insisted he had not made a mistake by engaging with the man known for his hatred of Jews.
“You and I aren’t gonna agree on everything, Phil – we don’t have to,” the candidate said. “That’s the beauty about being in America and in Tennessee, is we can have divergent opinions on stuff and still have respect for one another.”
Sam, Emma and the crew talk about how the world leaders have down graded the importance of the US and our threats against Iran. Now tRump has realized Iran could make a fortune out of charging for passage of the Strait of Hormuz so he has decided he wants that grift for himself. Hugs
