Preacher Dragged Off in Handcuffs in UK

Posted on by

A story on Fox News illustrates what it is like for Christians to live under the moonbat–Muslim alliance personified by Two-Tier Keir Starmer and London Mayor Sadiq Khan:

A 66-year-old U.K. pastor arrested while street preaching in London, said he is facing hate speech-related charges for preaching the Bible and speaking out against Islam.

The thought criminal is Pastor Steve Maile.

For 45 years, the New Zealand native has preached and performed mission work globally. …

However, a complaint led to his arrest while he was preaching on a high street in Watford on April 18. According to the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Maile’s case, he was singing and preaching a gospel message for about 10 minutes when he discussed Islam’s history of violence and called on Muslims to be saved by Jesus.

Uninformed thugs put him in painful handcuffs, mocked him, and bizarrely told him he was being arrested for assaulting a child.

Maile said he was detained for 12 hours without his phone and was not allowed to use the restroom.

They dropped the nonsense about assaulting a child, but…

Maile remains under investigation for an alleged public order offense.

Expressing viewpoints that moonbats and/or Muslims don’t like is illegal:

Under U.K. law, a person can be found guilty of a Section 5 offense if they use threatening or abusive words likely to cause “harassment, alarm, or distress.” While it typically results in a fine, a “religiously aggravated” charge can carry more severe penalties.

“Religiously aggravated” presumably means anti-Muslim, though it might also mean pro-Christian. Either way,

Maile noted he could face months or even years of imprisonment.

Pushback is emerging in the UK none too soon.

Radical Abigail Spanberger Goes After US Constitution

Posted on by

Somehow, Democrats managed to convince the gullible that Abigail “Let Your Rage Fuel You” Spanberger would govern Virginia as a moderate. She is a radical.

The Post Millennial reports:

Spanberger signed HB965 into law, which would effectively null and void votes cast in Virginia itself and only give its Electoral College votes to the nationwide popular vote winner.

This constitutes a direct attack on the US Constitution and thereby on our system of government. The idea is to guarantee Democrats permanent power if they can use open borders and the welfare state to pump up the government-dependent populations of a few blue states.

She laughs while doing it:

Speaking of attacks on the Constitution, which prominently upholds our right to bear arms — via Bearing Arms:

Virginia lawmakers will reconvene on April 22 to debate, approve, or reject Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s proposed amendments to dozens of pieces of legislation, including multiple gun control bills.

Her objective is to make pending antigun legislation even more tyrannical.

Under the language proposed by the governor, the first definition of an “assault firearm” would be “A semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol with a magazine capacity in excess of 15 rounds.”

For crying out loud. That would make the SR9 I use for concealed carry an assault weapon. Carrying it for self-defense in Virginia — home of the primary authors of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence — would result in up to 12 months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine.

One Virginia bill proposes making it illegal for 18–20-year-old adults to possess an “assault firearm” unless accompanied by an adult. Spanberger et al. are as dumb as they are anti-American.

A more accurate definition of assault firearms would be “guns that Abigail Spanberger types will come for first before coming for the rest of them.” Democrats know that their agenda cannot be fully implemented against a population capable of defending itself. They regard the Constitution as an obstacle.

New York State Threatens to Imprison Nuns Running Hospice

Posted on by

The Rosary Hill Home has provided free care to dying poor people for more than a century. Where moonbattery prevails, no good deed goes unpunished indefinitely. In the name of the LGBT agenda, Big Government threatens to come down hard on the nuns who run the hospice.

Fox News reports from New York:

Signed into law on Nov. 30, 2023, the “Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and people living with HIV long-term care facility residents’ bill of rights” bans long-term care facilities and staff “from discriminating against any resident on the basis of a resident’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status,” according to a press release from [Democrat Governor Kathy] Hochul’s office.

That means LGBT depravity imposed on nuns by a sinister government.

The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who run Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, New York, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the law they say would require them to assign rooms by gender identity, not biological sex; allow access to opposite-sex bathrooms; allow expression, relationships and identity practices; use preferred pronouns; require staff training in gender ideology; and post a public notice stating compliance with the law.

Per Mother Marie Edward,

“New York’s gender ideology mandates not only violate our Catholic values, they threaten our existence with fines, injunctions, license revocation, and even jail time.”

Desecrating Christian values is a central purpose of LGBTism, helping to explain why it is embraced with such enthusiasm even by liberals who are not sexually perverted themselves.

Patients have not been complaining about the lack of LBGT compliance. But this is not about the patients.

If the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne do not comply, they face fines up to $2,000 per violation — rising to $5,000 — court-ordered forced compliance, loss of licensing and up to one year in prison and fines up to $10,000.

Christianity survived Joseph Stalin. It will survive Kathy Hochul.

Massachusetts Bill Would Limit How Many Miles You Can Drive

Posted on by

Mobility is freedom. Consequently, it will be curtailed where Democrats have consolidated power — as in Massachusetts.

Independent Sentinel reports on Senate Bill S.2246, which adds rules to the state’s climate plan:

As part of the plan, the department of transportation will track residents’ mileage and impose fines for excessive driving.

In liberal utopia, bureaucrats will track every aspect of existence so as to control it.

It orders the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to set binding goals for reducing statewide vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The bill will create a new government council tasked with pushing people onto public transit, one way or another.

Having your own car allows independence. The climate doesn’t like independence. The climate wants you only to be able to go where leftist bureaucrats have decided you should go.

No mileage limit is listed yet, but it’s coming.

In the near future, cars will automatically shut down when we have exceeded the mileage Democrats have allotted us. We will see if that makes the weather any nicer.

Canada Moves Toward Criminalizing Bible

Posted on by

For an idea of what awaits Americans if Democrats consolidate power, look to the north, where Canada is moving toward criminalization of the Holy Bible as “hate speech.”

Via Fox News:

Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, introduced by Canadian Liberal Justice Minister Sean Fraser, passed the House of Commons on March 25 and now heads to the Senate. The measure would expand Canada’s hate speech laws, create a new hate-crime offense and add penalties for intimidating or blocking people from accessing houses of worship, cultural spaces, schools, senior residences and cemeteries.

The last part is probably not meant to be enforced. Similar window dressing was applied to a US law intended to criminalize opposition to abortion. The FACE Act was for justifying SWAT raids against people like Mark Houck, even if it was turned around and applied against Don Lemon’s gang of leftist thugs after they stormed and terrorized a church.

The sharpest criticism of the bill focuses on its repeal of a long-standing defense for religious speech in some criminal hate speech cases.

Conservative MP Andrew Lawton observes that it is…

“…incredibly concerning when a Liberal cabinet minister says that certain verses of Scripture are so inherently hateful that prosecutors should be able to press charges against those who quote them.”

On the other side of the aisle,

During a House justice committee hearing last October, Liberal Party MP Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, suggested certain passages from the Bible were inherently hateful toward homosexuals and questioned the Criminal Code’s initial carve out for religious statements made in “good faith.”

The sin of homosexual behavior is condemned in the strongest terms throughout the Bible.

Although the bill is anti-Christian, it is not anti-religious. In the liberal religion, homosexual depravity is sacred. The bill serves to uphold it.

Prominent Democrat Promises Vengeance Against Those Who Cooperate With Trump

Posted on by

Losing future elections to Democrats is not an option. They will punish anyone they deem to have collaborated with our current democratically elected government. Top Obama official Susan Rice states it openly as she attempts to intimidate nongovernmental entities — explicitly including law firms, universities, the media, large corporations, and Big Tech — into making a show of opposing President Trump:

“If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules…they’ve got another thing coming.”

Growls the leftist thug:

“There will be an accountability agenda.”

Punishment will largely be inflicted by a favorite liberal soft tyranny tactic: economically crippling lawfare.

“This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget.”

These kooks are scary. America’s next election could be its last if they consolidate control.

Jimmy Kimmel Hits Another Low by Denouncing USA to UK

Posted on by

Alleged comedian Jimmy Kimmel might have a sense of humor after all. As for a sense of patriotism, no chance.

From his fellow moonbats at CBS News:

Kimmel took aim at President Trump as he warned Thursday about the rise of fascism in an address to U.K. viewers dubbed “The Alternative Christmas Message.”

“Tyranny is booming over here,” Kimmel lied of his own country to a foreign audience.

[Government-owned Channel 4] began a tradition of airing an alternative Christmas message in 1993, as a counterpart to the British monarch’s annual televised address to the nation. Channel 4 said the message is often a thought-provoking and personal reflection pertinent to the events of the year.

“Thought-provoking” is not a term often ascribed to the obnoxious fool Kimmel. But he is in suitable company. Past presenters of the alternative Christmas message have included another enemy of America, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran.

Kimmel has been a favorite of the lefties who run the media since he got himself momentarily suspended by his own network for telling his viewers the appalling lie that Trump supporters assassinated Charlie Kirk.

His message to the UK from the USA:

“We are a right mess, and we know this is also affecting you, and I just wanted to say sorry.”

Making this comedy, Britain really is descending into tyranny. No informed person could regard it as a free country under moonbat rule.

A Briton was recently arrested in his home country for posing with a gun in Florida. Comedy writer Graham Linehan was similarly arrested in the UK for opinions expressed while on the free soil of the USA. London Chief of Police Mark Rowley has threatened to come after people outside the UK for expressing forbidden thoughts online.

A 74-year-old woman arrested for silently praying outside an abortion abattoir in Scotland is hardly the only one to be punished for this thoughtcrime in Britain; even praying inside your own house can be construed as illegal.

Offending Muslims is also against the law. “Sharia Law Administrator” is an actual title held by UK bureaucrats.

Britain’s tyrannical government is so hostile to the native population that it discourages the ethnically British from becoming police officers, giving preference to “underrepresented groups.” As for those unlucky enough not to be “underrepresented,” the government has threatened to deny them healthcare under socialized medicine.

Small wonder that a British veteran of World War II has been wondering what he fought for.

History buffs might recall that the USA was created by rebelling against British tyranny.

Adding to the laughs, Kimmel publicly gloated when someone was subjected to actual censorship — namely Trump.
