    ‘Straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale’: Insiders claim CIA director Pompeo is turning agency into a Christian hotbed

    According to an investigation by Foreign Policy into changes in the intelligence community under President Donald Trump, the CIA has set aside plans to diversify and has become more white and more Christian under new director Mike Pompeo.

    Noting the Pompeo, a former Republican congressman from Kansas, is a self-professed evangelical, the report states that the new director once claimed,

    Islamist terrorists will “continue to press against us until we make sure that we pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know that Jesus Christ is our savior is truly the only solution for our world.”


    Insiders — many of whom are afraid to come forward — say Pompeo’s religious beliefs are becoming part of CIA dogma to the dismay of longtime employees.


    “According to four sources familiar with the matter, Pompeo, who attends weekly Bible studies held in government buildings, referenced God and Christianity repeatedly in his first all-hands speech and in a recent trip report while traveling overseas,”

    Michael Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, he is being flooded with complaints about the creeping evangelical Christianity that is beginning to pervade the intelligence agency.

    Weinstein notes that insiders are afraid to speak up, stating,

    “They don’t typically file formal complaints within the government. But certain things are making them especially uncomfortable, such as officials signing off with the phrase ‘have a blessed day.’

    “In the intelligence community, we see supervisors wanting to hold Bible studies during duty hours [and] inviting lower-ranking individuals to their homes for Bible studies,” Weinstein continued.

    “Our clients at CIA feel extremely isolated in a way they have not felt before.”

    Maybe Pompeo can order CIA to find Satan.

    ‘It’s a bogus story sold to adults’: Watch atheists narrate hilarious tour of Kentucky’s Ark Encounter




    “It’s a bogus story sold to adults and a lie told to children,” the narrator of the video claims.

    “It’s a church masquerading as a Kentucky tourist attraction and it’s a tragic waste of resources.”



    Lack of attendance has been one of the major criticisms of the controversial theme park, especially after the town was blamed for lack of visitors.
    Grant County Judge Executive Steve Wood said

    the Ark has “not done us good at all.”

    The city of Williamstown and state of

    Kentucky provided tens of millions in subsidies the for-profit replica ship,

    which was then

    sold to its nonprofit arm for $10 to avoid paying $700,000 in taxes.

    Ken Ham’s shenanigans to avoid paying Williamstown $700,000 in taxes resulted in

    Ark Encounter losing $18 million in state of Kentucky subsidies.

    Air Force Chaplain Denounces Religious Tolerance

    A U.S. Air Force chaplain who ministers to thousands of men and women at an Ohio base is asserting that

    Christians in the U.S. Armed Forces “serve Satan” and are

    “grossly in error” if they support service members' right to practice other faiths.

    Captain Sonny Hernandez, an Air Force Reserve chaplain for the 445th Airlift Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, criticized Christian service members who rely on the Cons ution “and not Christ.”

    He wrote:

    “Counterfeit Christians in the Armed forces will appeal to the Cons ution, and not Christ,

    and they have no local church home—which means they have no accountability for their souls (Heb. 13:17). This is why so many professing Christian service members will say: 'We ‘support everyone’s right’ to practice their faith regardless if they worship a god different from ours because the Cons ution protects this right.”


    Hernandez continued:

    “Christian service members who openly profess and support the rights of Muslims, Buddhists, and all other anti-Christian worldviews to practice their religions—because the language in the Cons ution permits—are grossly in error, and deceived.”

    http://www.nationalmemo.com/air-forc...ous-tolerance/


    AFA sounds like a 100% pure Christian Sharia hole.

    Jew Mikey Weinstein, and his sons, were abused as Jews at AFA, leading him to found Military Freedom from Religion Foundation

    So why is it that some here admire Canadian and European health systems but don't subscribe to their (Canada and Finland) policy that the money follows the student? Isn't that the ultimate - letting the student/parent decide where they want to go? Whether public or private, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, etc? That way, the schools compete for your money and if your neighborhood school is bad, just go to another one. I don't see any of my Canadian relatives making a fuss about it - some send their kids to the public school and some to Catholic schools - they have choice and do what suits them.

    Florida allows any resident to challenge textbooks

    HB 989 allows any Florida resident to “challenge the use or adoption of instructional materials,” and its supporters say the law gives Floridians a greater say in what students are taught. But some in the scientific community worry the

    new law will be used to target evolution and climate change

    once a resident files a complaint about school materials, the school board must hold a hearing that is overseen by a review officer who is not employed by the district. “Then that hearing officer makes a recommendation to the school board,”

    “Some of the supporters of the bill made very clear that the teaching of evolution or of climate change was really their big concern and why they thought this legislation needed to be enacted,”

    a Martin County resident objected in her affidavit to an Advanced Placement textbook’s presentation of evolution as fact.

    “The vast majority of Americans believe that the world and the beings living on it were created by God as revealed in the Bible,”

    ING LIAR!

    California Bill Says Church Employer Can’t Fire Workers if They Use Birth Control

    "While Trump and his cronies seek to grant broad licenses to discriminate, California is showing that we stand for reproductive freedom and economic justice for all."

    For some California workers, abiding by a religious code of conduct can spell the difference between gainful employment and a pink slip.

    Many California churches, religious groups, and anti-choice organizations require workers to sign statements of faith or codes of conduct as a condition of employment,

    as the California Family Council, a policy arm of the Family Research Council,

    But legislation heading to Gov. Jerry Brown’s (D) desk would render these types of agreements invalid, and

    bar employers from retaliating against a worker for reproductive health decisions.


    “Women in this country have been fired for getting pregnant while unmarried, for using in-vitro fertilization and for other personal reasons related to their own reproductive health,”

    “No woman should ever lose a job for exercising her right to decide when, how, or whether to have a family.”

    “While Trump and his cronies seek to grant broad licenses to discriminate, California is showing that we stand for reproductive freedom and economic justice for all,”

    Obergefell Is Already Under Attack

    Trump is laying the groundwork to overturn marriage equality.

    new Trump district court nominee, Jeff Mateer, recently condemned LGBTQ people in dehumanizing terms.

    In 2015, Mateer called

    transgender schoolchildren part of “satan’s plan” and described same-sex marriage as “disgusting” “debauchery,” comparing it to “people marrying their pets.”

    He also endorsed conversion therapy, a discredited practice that attempts to turn gay people straight, often using gruesome psychosexual torture.


    the president also nominated Matthew J. Kacsmaryk to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Mateer and Kacsmaryk are colleagues at First Liberty Ins ute, a conservative legal advocacy group that opposes LGBTQ rights, including nondiscrimination measures that protect gay and trans people.

    Although Kacsmaryk’s public statements are not flamboyantly bigoted, his choice of employment suggests that he shares Mateer’s beliefs about LGBTQ rights.

    A third nominee, Stephen S. Schwartz, has devoted much of his career to
    defending anti-trans measures in court. Trump wants to place him on the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

    In July, Senate Republicans pushed through

    John K. Bush, an anti-gay blogger and conspiracy theorist who used the word
    got in a speech.

    Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee have also approved Damien M. Schiff, a lawyer who
    declared in 2009 that

    a California law prohibiting bullying falsely taught “that the sexual lifestyle is a good, and that sexual families are the moral equivalent of traditional heterosexual families.”

    If these nominees are not too extreme for Senate Republicans, it isn’t clear who would be.

    Trump has farmed out the job of judicial selection

    to the Federalist Society, as well as

    to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative, anti-LGBTQ Washington think tank.

    Roy Moore beliefs: Things the Republican has said

    1. sexuality should be illegal

    He has likened it to bestiality, and "abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature and of nature's God upon which this nation and our laws are predicated". His refusal to issue marriage certificates to gay couples cost him his place on the bench for a second time.

    2. God's wrath is felt on Earth


    Moore has suggested that the 11 September 2001 attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were a sign of God's divine anger. "Sounds a little bit like the Pentagon" he remarked after reading a Bible passage about "the great slaughter when the towers will fall". He has also said that violent crimes in the USsuch as murder and rape are "happening because we have forgotten God".

    3. 'Red and yellows' don't get along


    He appeared to use pejorative racial terms for Asians and Native Americans at a rally this month."We have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting. What's going to unite us? What's going to bring us back together? A president? A Congress? No. It's going to be God."

    4. Darwin was wrong


    "There's no such thing as evolution," he said less than a week before the election. "That we came from a snake? No I don't believe that."

    5. Islam is a 'false religion'


    It is also a threat to US laws, Moore claims. Over the summer he falsely alleged that Sharia law was already being enforced in parts of the states of Illinois and Indiana, offering no evidence.

    6. The law comes from God


    "God is the only source of our law, liberty and government."

    7. He thinks he's like Putin


    In August he directly praised the Russian president Vladimir Putin for his gay rights stance, saying "maybe he's more akin to me than I know". The comment came after he described the US as "the focus of evil in the world" because "we promote a lot of bad things".

    8. Obama might not be US-born


    Trump's predecessor was disqualified to be president, Moore claimed as far back as 2008. The so-called "birther" theory, alleging that Obama was born in Kenya, was heavily promoted by Donald Trump until very late in his campaign.

    9. He writes poetry


    And he has occasionally been known to give live renditions. One said:

    "Babies piled in dumpsters,
    Abortion on demand
    Oh Sweet land of liberty;
    your house is on the sand."


    10. A Ten Commandments sculpture is worth fighting for


    He was dismissed from the Alabama Supreme Court after he refused a federal order to remove a massive stone statue of the Ten Commandments from inside his courthouse.

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41417203

    Slave-state, Christian Sharia Alabama Confederates still fighting the Union.

    yet another piece of grifter from The Great State of Texas

    Trump Promotes Book By Anti-Catholic, Anti-Mormon, Anti-Gay Pastor Pal Robert Jeffress



    We started following Jeffress back in 2007 when he was trying to prevent Mitt Romney from becoming the Republican presidential nominee because Romney is a Mormon.

    Jeffress argued then, and again when Romney ran in 2012, that Mormonism is a non-Christian cult and since Christians should always prefer a Christian candidate they shouldn’t support Romney.

    On Inauguration Day, Jeffress led a private prayer service for Trump and his family, where he found biblical parallels for Trump’s war against the mainstream media and obsession over building a southern border wall.

    Since Trump has taken office, Jeffress has been there to
    defend Trumpagainst charges of racism, downplayquestions about the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia, give the president advice on judicial nominees, and grant him God’s permissionto launch a war against North Korea.

    The pastor who Trump calls a “wonderful man” has said:

    Supreme Court rejects Texas case on gay-marriage benefits

    The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to overturn a Texas ruling that raised questions about the rights of couples in same-sex marriages.

    The controversy arose in June when the Texas Supreme Court revived a lawsuit that sought to eliminate benefits offered to the same-sex spouses of city of Houston employees, ruling that the right to a marriage license did not automatically en le same-sex couples to spousal insurance benefits.

    Houston appealed, arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court needed to step in to protect the integrity of its 2015 ruling establishing a right to same-sex marriage.

    The high court, however, rejected the appeal without comment, allowing the Texas ruling to stand.

    Merger Could Make Catholic Health Giant ‘Too Big to Fail,’ Threatening Reproductive Health

    “These systems will have even greater financial and political clout and it will become more and more difficult for people to suggest that denying women reproductive health care is not appropriate."

    the merger of Ascension and Providence St. Joseph Health would create “an en y of unprecedented reach, with 191 hospitals in 27 states and annual revenue of $44.8 billion.”

    reproductive health advocates expressed grave concerns about the consolidation of power by an en y that restricts access to such care on religious grounds.

    Evangelical Leader Who Criticized Trump Is Swamped with Death Threats from the 'Christian Machine'

    They turned on her when she went public with her views.


    A popular evangelical speaker with a string of best-selling books and a home renovation show on HGTV revealed that she has been flooded with death threats because she has been critical of President Donald Trump and supported same-sex marriage.

    Jen Hatmaker

    said the “Christian Machine” has turned on her since she went public with her views, with retailing giant LifeWay Christian Stores pulling her books from the shelves and former fans burning them

    she was part of the “never Trump” faction of conservatives who were appalled by the rise of Trump during the 2016 campaign, telling her followers he made her “sad and horrified and despondent.”

    Following the release of the notorious “Access Hollywood” tape, she went after male Evangelical leaders who defended Trump’s actions, tweeting:

    “We will not forget. Nor will we forget the Christian leaders that betrayed their sisters in Christ for power.”

    Adding to her problems was an interview with Religion News Service where she came out and stated that she supports same-sex marriage.

    That was the final straw for what she called the “Christian Machine,” saying her children were accosted in the tiny Texas town where she lives, the death threats started pouring in and her fans turned on her.

    “The way people spoke about us, it was as if I had never loved Jesus a day in my life,” she said in a recent speech.

    U.S. health agency to issue religious objection regulation

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials also said the department is issuing a new regulation aimed at protecting healthcare workers’ civil rights based on religious and conscience objections.


    The regulation protects the rights of healthcare workers from providing abortion, euthanasia, and sterilization,

    Arizona State’s Ban On Israel Boycotters Tests DOJ’s Free Speech Commitment

    So far, the Justice Department has focused its efforts on free speech cases involving conservatives and Christians.

    he Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed a lawsuit in federal court last week against Arizona State University, accusing the school of violating Muslim students’ right to free speech and rights to equal protection by enforcing a ban on speakers who call for boycotting Israel.

    The suit was filed on behalf of American Muslims for Palestine and its founder, Hatem Bazian, shortly after Arizona State’s Muslim Students Association invited him to speak at what is billed as an “educational event regarding Palestinian perspectives on Middle East conflict” on April 3.

    Bazian, a senior lecturer at University of California in Berkeley, said he could not agree to the school’s

    speaker’s contract because of a “no boycott of Israel” clause

    that essentially bars him and others from participating “solely because they engage in and advocate for economic boycotts of Israel as a means to promote Palestinians’ human rights,” according to the lawsuit.

    So the Jews and other Muslim haters have convinced ASU to ban BDS speakers

    Ralph Drollinger Is Looking For A Few Good (Self-Funded) Men To ‘Disciple’ State Legislators

    Ralph Drollinger, who leads weekly Bible studies for members of the House, Senate, and President Trump’s Cabinet, has

    ambitious plans to set up similar ministries targeting public officials in every state capitol and every local government

    in parallel with a global expansion in capital cities.

    Drollinger’s Capitol Ministries announced on Saturday,

    “Ministry Leader positions are open in several states, and Capitol Ministries is looking to fill them with men who are enthusiastic about creating discipleship ministries to political leaders.”

    “We are seeking proven, intentional, deliberate, biblically reliant disciple makers who are passionate about evangelism and about teaching the Word of God,”

    said Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries.

    “Our leaders seek to be audacious and intrepid as the ministers in kings’ palaces (Proverbs 30:28).”

    Drollinger’s weekly gatherings are supplemented with

    his written Bible studies, which

    teach thatthe government’s job is

    to “quell evil” and

    punish sin
    , and

    argue that a variety of right-wing economic and social policies are mandated by the Bible.

    Trump, McConnell appoint anti-LGBTQ hate group leaders to 'Religious Freedom' commission

    Under Republican leadership, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (HATE!) may soon itself

    qualify as a hate group.

    It was announced Tuesday that President Donald Trump nominated Gary Bauer to be the latest member of the Commission on International Religious Freedom.

    Bauer once led the Family Research Council, the anti-LGBT organization that advocates that sexuals are harmful to society.

    The group has even been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

    The appointment of Bauer, an anti-LGBTQ activist for decades, is of a pattern. Senate Majority Leader Mitch

    McConnell announced his own pick on Tuesday; it is the current head of the Family Research Council, Tony Perkins.

    Perkins is not just himself on the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of anti-LGBTQ extremists, but earned the position for decades of bile against LGBTQ persons worldwide.

    “Tony Perkins is the most recognizable anti-LGBTQ activist in America.

    He has espoused the most extreme views of LGBTQ people and other vulnerable communities including vocally supporting foreign laws that punish LGBTQ iden y with death,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD.

    “The idea that Perkins would be making policy recommendations to an administration that is already anti-LGBTQ is dangerous and puts LGBTQ people directly in harm’s way.”

    That

    Republican leadership appears to be coordinated in their attempts to stack the commission with hate group leaders

    is notable;

    both McConnell and Trump have spent considerable time peddling the notion that they are moderates within the party;

    appointing defenders of laws that result in the execution of LGBTQ people abroad is anything but.

    for the next two years, going to focus on stripping "freedom" from LGBTQ citizens the world over. If we are very lucky, it will only discredit our nation. If we are not, McConnell, Trump and Pence will have succeeded in stoking further violence.

    Trump’s Own Budget Office Puts the Brakes on Proposed Religious Imposition Rule

    "OMB’s delayed approval recognizes that the Department sacrificed the administrative processes designed to promote good government in order to satisfy the ideological zealousness of a handful of Trump appointees."

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) delayed the rollout of a proposed U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) religious imposition rule that seeks

    broad authority to implement so-called conscience protections

    that give an out to

    health-care providers who don’t want to treat LGBTQ patients or provide reproductive health care,

    including contraception, miscarriage management, and abortion care.


    HHS is required to read and take into account public comments for proposed rules.

    OMB’s latest action means that, in order to be in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995—which in part ensures that the general public and interested en ies have a say in proposed department rules and regulations—

    HHS must now release and respond to industry comments before finalizing and fully implementing the rule.

    Trump’s HHS has flouted federal law regarding disclosure of public comments before,

    withholding more than 10,000 comments in response to a previous proposal to roll back access to reproductive and transgender care.

    Franklin Graham wants Christians to take over school boards in new assault on LGBT kids



    F
    ranklin Graham is calling for Christians to run for their local school boards

    to prevent what he says is LGBT indoctrination.

    The 65-year old Christian evangelical activist made his stunning remarks in response to a

    Fox News story that claims a Pennsylvania school board showed what parents are calling bullying “LGBT advocacy” videos.

    But educators and officials explained that the videos are not “bullying,” they are anti-bullying.


    “Parents in the East Penn School District are up in arms—and rightly so—about being told they can’t see videos that their children were shown without their permission,” Graham wrote on Facebook.

    “We need Christian men and women running for school boards,”

    he said.

    “If the majority of the school board were Christians, this wouldn’t be an issue.”


    Graham went on to claim the videos were “about sexuality, same-sex marriage, and ‘gender fluidity’,” and “parents weren’t even notified!”

    Graham is pro-bullying and PERSECUTION of LBGT students, which is what Christ would do.
