I grew up in Iowa and haven’t been ashamed of that fact until now.
‘An incredible story out of Iowa, where an Ames man was sentenced to 16 years in prison for burning an LGBTQ rainbow flag.
Adolfo Martinez stole a gay pride flag flying outside a church and torched it in front of a men’s strip club. NBCNews reports he was sentenced “to 15 years for the hate crime of arson and given a year for reckless use of explosives or fire and 30 days for harassment.” His sentence was enhanced by the fact that he was a “habitual offender.”
So why 16 years? A local pastor explains.
Ames Church of Christ Minister Eileen Gebbie said the sentencing was both heartbreaking and justified.
“Nobody got shot (and) nobody was sexually assaulted,” Gebbie said. “It was a banner. How much does that hurt? But I had to reflect on the fear it created in our sanctuary. People became afraid to go to church. We had to continue to talk about how to prepare for an active shooter and we learned from the trial Mr. Martinez had been watching our church for some time.”
So “fear”= 15 years? I always thought Lady Justice was supposed to be blind, and that “justice” was a concept that was defined by reason, balance, and fairness. But this is madness. This is vengeful.
The prosecutor believes the sentence was fair.
“I believe him to be very dangerous,” Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds said. “That’s why my office recommended the maximum sentence.”
Reynolds said the judge agreed to the 17-year sentence because Martinez has a long history of harassment and is a habitual offender and never showed any remorse.
“The defendant stated that there was nothing the judge could to stop him from continuing this behavior and that he would continue to do this no matter what,” she said.
He’s not threatening people. He’s threatening flags. The fact that he’s a habitual offender matters some, but this isn’t Minority Report and we don’t have a “pre-crime bureau.” We can’t predict future crimes he will commit and then sentence him for something he hasn’t done yet.
It is apparently not a “hate crime” to burn an American flag. It’s hardly a “crime” at all. In fact, it’s seen by many as an act of courage — “speaking truth to power” and all that. But we can only punish certain kinds of “hate” — the “right kinds” of hate that are smiled upon by the arbiters of social justice. Interestingly, the number of “hate crimes” seems to be growing all the time and the impulse to punish it is also expanding.
It makes a mockery of the concept of “justice” and “fairness.”‘ https://pjmedia.com/trending/man-sentenced-to-16-years-in-prison-for-burning-an-lgbtq-flag/?utm_source=pjmedia&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad=&bcid=08b5a1e2f2263b83e918fb56d7a12a3e&recip=26169367
‘This is the incredible, endearing and heartwarming true story of Wojtek, the Polish bear that went to War.
As I was growing up in London, surrounded by Polish émigrés, I repeatedly heard this wonderful story about Wojtek, a Bear soldier who fought alongside the Polish II Corps.
Being from a very patriotic family, I had the pleasure of meeting many Polish war veterans, and deportees who had survived the Soviet Gulags; it was often they who told me about Wojtek.
The story deeply moved me as I always saw a similarity between the fates of these aging Polish veterans and that of Wojtek the Bear. They had so desperately wanted to go back to their homeland, but the imposition of a brutal Soviet backed communist regime meant that returning home was at best prison and at worst death. And so, these soldiers who had supposedly won the War and helped defeat Nazism ended up being homeless heroes, wandering the World, unable to return home, in a sense, in captivity.’ https://summit.news/2019/12/19/the-incredible-story-of-the-polish-bear-that-went-to-war/
Anmar was raised in a strict Muslim household and risked becoming an outcast, and worse, to turn from tradition and follow the faith he believed in his heart. Listen to his testimony of coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ on Unshackled.
It shouldn’t be any surprise that the House of Representatives has impeached President Donald Trump. However,
‘What happens next?
The Articles of Impeachment will now go to the Republican dominated Senate for trial. In the unlikely event of a “conviction” Trump would be removed from office.
Since the Republicans hold a majority in the Senate there is almost no possibility that the President will be removed from office.
But the Republicans do have some choices.
A. They could immediately acquit President Trump. This would mean that the impeachment process is over with minimal fuss. However, it would not begin to counter the negative propaganda that was generated by the Democrats in the House to harm the President. President Trump has expressed a desired to hold a real trial, controlled by the Republicans, that would highlight the opposing views, bringing Hunter Biden in to testify, and the whistleblower who initially made the complaint. There is speculation that the whistleblower coordinated with Congressman Schiff’s office before the complaint which would prove a conspiracy against the presidency.
If you have read my other articles, you know that my own conspiracy theory is that Hillary Clinton is behind the attacks on Trump and the impeachment (recall that the Clinton’s arranged all of the funding for Schiff’s first Congressional campaign, he is beholden to Hillary). Hillary wants to get into the 2020 race, but she needs Biden to be destroyed so that she can get an initial boost for “rescuing” the election. But Biden has weathered the storm so far and if there is no Senate trial, Hillary will not get the initial boost (she will get in anyway, watch for it…). The Republicans now see Joe Biden as a very weak candidate, and would prefer him to stay in the race. So more the better to keep it short.
B. They could have a long show trial. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already said that he is coordinating the trial with Trump’s attorneys. This would mean a heavily pro-Trump procedure, covered by all of the media networks, where the (fake) whistleblower, Hunter Biden, copious pro-Trump witnesses and maybe Adam Schiff himself (as a material witness, because of his office’s contact with the whistleblower). While it is doubtful that liberal networks CNN and MSNBC will cover this with the enthusiasm they did the House proceedings, the coverage could provide a tremendous boost in Trump’s popularity.
This would indeed destroy Joe Biden and perhaps make way for a Hillary Clinton candidacy. Trump knows that he can finish Biden’s destruction at any time, should Joe’s popularity start to rise (unlikely). But Joe’s presence accentuates the divided Democratic election slate. Without Joe, another candidate may start to gain momentum. Currently, it is mere chaos.’ http://punchingbagpost.com/2019/12/18/the-house-impeaches-trump-here-is-what-will-happen-next/
Australia is a nation proud of its so-called ‘multiculturalism’. There used to be and may still be some who play the game ‘spot an Aussie’. That simply means there are a lot of immigrants here in Australia and especially in the larger cities such as Sydney where ‘spotting’ a dinky dye Aussie is sometimes very hard to do.
Well, anyway, ‘A German man in Dresden, Germany was fired from his job after placing a sign on the bus he drove which read, in German:
“This bus is steered by a German driver.” 
A triggered passenger took a photograph of the sign and sent it to the Dresden Transport Company (DVB) through social media, demanding an explanation.
At which point the working man lost his job over such grievous and heinous thought crimes as declaring him to be from Germany, in Germany, and writing it on a piece of paper.
So let me get this straight: it’s totally OK for all the “multicultural” people coming into Germany from the Middle East and North Africa to completely fail to assimilate, to maintain their own language, customs, religion, and sense of respect for the law, and to remain in Germany, supported by German taxpayers.
These people bring strength through diversity.
But a German man, in Germany, is verboten from hanging a simple sign in the bus that he is employed to drive which says he’s German?
“He is no longer on the road and this behaviour will have consequences,” the company responded.’ https://www.teaparty247.org/absurd-german-leftists-are-now-triggered-by-people-being-german/
The following video was produced by Sky News due to the outrageous article the one billion plus dollar per year Government sponsored Australian Broadcasting Corporation published. That leftist climate scamming ‘nutty’ article by a Sydney University Professor of Gender and War may be found at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-15/is-fragile-masculinity-the-biggest-obstacle-to-climate-action/11797210.
The Presidency of Obama seemed to ignite more racial hatred among some rather than bringing people together. After reading the following article you will not have to think twice which party Joan Terrell-Paige will vote for in 2020.
‘Joan Terrell-Paige was a community organizer, a longtime New Jersey state employee, a council aide, and was elected to the Jersey City Board of Education on the Education Matters slate alongside Mussab Ali and Marilyn Roman.
Joan Terrell-Paige
The Education Matters slate was backed by the Jersey City Education Association which is the teachers’ union.
And then in response to a high school principal sharing a column titled, “Faith and Hope to Fight Hate”, Terrell went off on a Facebook rant accusing Jews of various things, including claiming that Rabbis were “selling body parts”.
Then she concluded with, “Drugs and guns are planted in the Black community. Mr. Anderson and Ms. Graham went directly to the kosher supermarket. I believe they knew they would come out in body bags. What is the message they were sending? Are we brave enough to explore the answer to their message? Are we brave enough to stop the assault on the Black communities of America?”’ https://sonsoflibertymedia.com/new-jersey-democrat-board-of-ed-member-defends-killing-jews/
What bothers me is ‘who votes for these people?’ Are there so many voters in Jersey City who also hate Jews as much as Joan Terrell-Paige does? Hmm, will this woman continue to be allowed to stay on the Jersey City Board of Education?
I have been to the Trader Joe’s which is near my daughter’s house in Atlanta. If I am ever again there I will be sure to purchase some Israeli made ‘Pastures of Eden’ feta cheese! Why?
Because it is one of many items on the BDS not to buy list of Israeli products. You see; ‘Trader Joe’s Israeli made “Pastures of Eden” feta cheese has been on the BDS list for quite some time. BDS has called upon its supporters to boycott the cheese because it is owned by the Tnuva group, the largest dairy producer in Israel.
A Muslim lecturer at UC Berkeley has taken heed to the call by tagging renowned anti-Semite activist Linda Sarsour in his Facebook post which petitions for locals to stop shopping at Trader Joe’s.
“Trader Joe’s is having Israeli Feta on its shelves! One more reason to stop shopping at the store,” Hatem Bazian wrote last week.
Israeli Hater & Muslim propagandist Hatem Bazian
Joe Zevuloni, who heads the “Israeli Army of Publicity” organization, took to Facebook on Tuesday to defend the Jewish State’s cheese.
“This Israel-hating anti-Semitic professor from UC Berkeley tagged Linda Sarsour in his post and called on everyone to boycott Trader Joe’s supermarket chain because it sells Israeli feta cheese,” Zevuloni wrote in one post.
“Go to his page and don’t forget to tell him thank-you for the fact that in his merit, we’ll all buy specifically from a brand that sells Israeli products. Tag the Population and Immigration Authority in your comments and help me show him Israel just in Google. Then “like” this post and share, if you’re with me. Am Israel hai (literally: the nation of Israel lives on)!” he wrote in another post.
The call to counter the boycott worked, according to Israeli news site Arutz7. Pro-Israeli customers cleared off the shelves and then moved on to buy other Israeli products.
Zevoluni also shared a video of a store manager at a Florida based Trader Joe’s happily restocking the delicious Israeli made feta cheese.’ https://worldisraelnews.com/trader-joe-boycott-fizzles-as-pro-israel-customers-buy-out-chains-israeli-cheese/?utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=
This is another excellent short video from Creation Moments. I continue to be amazed how people believe the religion of evolution.
