Leftist militant groups, Antifa and By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), are led by public school teachers. BAMN organizer, Steve Conn and his wife, who also was a teacher, were fired from a Detroit high school for leading a protest which involved the use of pepper spray.  They sued and got their jobs back plus $300,000.  Conn was elected president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers in 2015.  Last year, 17 different BAMN members ran for elected positions on the Detroit Federation of Teachers.  BAMN also ran five candidates for different national leadership positions with the NEA in 2017.

Joel Osteen’s reputation was submerged in the wreckage left behind by Hurricane Harvey — and at least one pastor says the televangelist got what he deserved.

John Pavlovitz, head of North Raleigh Community Church in North Carolina, said the “prosperity gospel” minister had discredited his faith by tweeting out banal platitudes as locals mosques and furniture stores offered shelter from the hurricane that flooded Houston.   Continue reading “Fellow Pastor Unleashes Holy Hell on Joel Osteen for His Disgraceful Response to Hurricane Harvey”

In case anyone wants to dive deep, this is on the yearly Burning Man festival, out in the Nevada desert on gov land.  Ha!!  It also covers other deceitful and destructive agendas that look like love and freedom but lead to debauchery and compliance.  One of the broadcasters calls Burning Man “The greatest psy-op of all time.”   Makes me wonder how to protect the young ones from this highly-crafted and near irresistible lure.  I’m only half-way through but there’s powerful dot-connecting.  It’s 5 hours, and so far, for me, riveting:

The Southern Poverty Law Center has declared three of America’s largest Army bases Confederate monuments “with the potential to unleash more turmoil and bloodshed” if activists don’t “take down” the Army bases.

The SPLC included Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Benning in Georgia on a list of 1,500 “Confederate monuments” that the SPLC claims could inspire more violence like what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. All three bases are named after Confederate military leaders.   Continue reading “SPLC Says Army Bases Are Confederate Monuments That Need To Come Down”
