We covered this before, but there is an update.

Now, the judge has been charged (via reader Matt Gibson).

Somebody tell the Highland Avenue Baptist Church in Mullens that they may need a new choir director.

She doesn’t have the, ahem, judicial temperament to serve in a church of any kind.

Via David Codrea, this report from Virginia Luciferian Ralph Northam.

The so-called Virginia Values Act (S.B. 868), which Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) signed on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter Sunday) in the middle of a pandemic, compels churches, religious schools, and Christian ministries to hire employees who do not share their stated beliefs on marriage, sexuality, and gender identity. A companion law (H.B. 1429) requires ministries and others like them to pay for transgender surgery in employee health care plans, a procedure that violates these ministries’ convictions.

So there is a way to deal with this.  Oddly and ironically enough, but related to a different subject, the people from California show the way.

Pontes is now the county executive officer of Shasta County in Northern California and goes to work in thin socks, but another crisis has found him. “You cannot get closer to total disobedience of any kind of law,” he said, referring to the local response to Covid-19 strictures. “What’s happening up here is full-on anarchy.” Then he listed for me a few of the things that had happened recently: The county sheriff had announced that he wouldn’t enforce the state’s pandemic restrictions on social gatherings and businesses. People who had never before attended county board meetings were accusing local officials of treason. The county’s health officer, who had the unhappy job of imposing the state’s Covid rules on the citizens of Shasta County, was now receiving so many threats that Pontes had brought in a new threat-assessment team; he’d also ordered the bushes cut back away from her house, installed a security system and floodlights, and ordered police patrols of her neighborhood. “She still doesn’t feel safe out there,” he said. “At all.”

In just the past few months, a bunch of county health officers across California have been run from office. But what was happening in Shasta County felt to Pontes like a new stage of the crisis in governance. He thought it was “80-20” in favor that, at any moment, a citizen army would form, invade the public buildings, and perform citizens’ arrests of the five members of the county’s Board of Supervisors and any other government officials they could get their hands on. “Before Covid I felt I could talk my way out of just about anything,” he said. “But I had to ask the sheriff, ‘What are you going to do if they arrest us?’ He reassured me that he’s not going to take me anywhere.”

[ … ]

There was one other thing Pontes had noticed: The inconveniences caused by the state’s restrictions had attracted a new sort of person to the political process. Elissa McEuen was a case in point. She’d moved up to Shasta a few years ago from San Francisco, where she’d worked in private equity. She was a stay-at-home mom with little kids who, six months ago, couldn’t have told you where the Board of Supervisors met, much less what they did.

Now she showed up to every meeting, and spoke every time, with eloquence. Almost single-handedly she had organized a bunch of vaguely lunatic groups — the anti-vaxxers, the Second Amendment people, the chemtrail crowd — into a unified fighting force. “She’s taken it to another level,” Pontes said. “If you remove her, all of a sudden a lot of those people say, ‘Wait a minute, I don’t believe what you believe.”

Oh I don’t think so.  He makes the mistake of treating this crowd the way they think of progressives, i.e., they need a leader, and if you take out a leader, the group falls apart.  He doesn’t really understand yet the threat that awaits him and his ilk.

Maybe this is just one county of California, after all, but it’s still a county, and it’s still people.

Kit up, folks.  There’s more of this on the way.  What?  You didn’t really think Covid-19 would be the end of the globalist attempt to enslave you, did you?  That’s been going on for more than a hundred years, heating up to the point we are at today.

It gets dicier from here on.  And maybe the good folks in Virginia need to take a page from Shasta County and engage in some not-so-civil disobedience.  After all, Ralphie wants your guns and wants to kill babies.

Via Ken, this report from Texas.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A grand jury in Texas decided Monday to take no action against a man who fatally shot an armed man who killed two people at a Fort Worth-area church in late December, prosecutors said.

Jack Wilson, a firearms instructor who trained a volunteer security team at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, fatally shot Keith Thomas Kinnunen during a Dec. 29 service after he shot and killed 67-year-old Richard White, another security volunteer, and 64-year-old Anton “Tony” Wallace, a server.

As they should have.

But don’t miss the real issue here.  For this to have appeared before a grand jury, a prosecutor had to take it there.

Do you grok?  The prosecutor could have congratulated him, the police could try their best to emulate him, but none of that happened, apparently.  Some idiot prosecutor took it in front of a jury.

Good Lord!

In addition to suing Facebook for being falsely accused of being mass murderer, Kyle Rittenhouse has defamation claim against Joe Biden for falsely accusing him of being white supremacist & militia member responsible for violence in Kenosha.

Go get ’em.  Take them for as much as you can get.  And don’t forget about that threatened lawsuit against Jack Dorsey.

And free Kyle Rittenhouse.  He did nothing wrong.

Truly disgusting – I thought we were supposed to be looking after our elderly?

The cops look like fat-ass slobs. They disgust me.

The elderly are accorded special honor per the holy Scriptures (Leviticus 19:32).  That didn’t happen here.

Besides, the law is stupid and unrighteous.

The LAPD later tweeted that there were no injuries and that all drivers and victims have been identified.

WATCH: A person driving a white Prius was chased down and by protesters after trying to drive through the crowd in #Hollywood. The group that chased the driver began hitting the car and possibly broke a window. @RoadSageLA was overhead in #Sky9 as it happened. #CBSLA pic.twitter.com/OYFMOezUpx

MOMENTS AGO: Prius drives through a protest in Hollywood, protestors then chase the vehicle down, smash the windows with a skateboard while attempting to pull the driver out of the car. The driver then speeds away and is pulled over by LAPD and handcuffed. @NBCLA @elianamoreno pic.twitter.com/OZuU1r8QoG

There is only one victim here, i.e., the driver of the Prius.  You see the vice that the rioters coupled with the police put drivers in, right?

You cannot escape.  You must endanger yourself and if necessary, take a beating or get killed.  If you try to drive through, you get detained for crimes, even though the only real crimes have been committed by rioters.

The real shame here is that rioters didn’t get run over.

From reader Ned.  Actually, a .45ACP AR pistol carbine would work just fine for him if I wanted to go in that church, but like him, I encourage everyone to leave. It was a Unitarian church so they teach falsehood there.  They don’t believe in the deity of Jesus, so it’s a den of hell anyway.

White people have just been threatened with assault and kicked out of the church sanctuary grounds. Almost all press were demanded to leave as well #Louisville #LouisvilleProtests #BreonnaTaylor pic.twitter.com/NK1cJVnBU8

Via WRSA, this video is highly worth watching.  I had sent a note to Attorney John Pierce advising him that he needed to hire a very good media firm to capture all of the media before it was gone, and build it together into a true narrative to combat the lies.  It looks like he took my advice.
