A group of churches in California are coming together to sue the state ’ s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom along with various other officials for social distancing orders that have stopped them from being able to hold services in person .
California is one of many states that have banned gatherings of over ten people due to the COVID-19 pandemic , and while some other states have included exemptions for religious organizations , California has not done this .
“ The state does not get to dictate the method of worship to the faithful , ” said Harmeet K. Dhillon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Center for American Liberty , in a statement , according to the Los Angeles Times .
“ If a Californian is able to go to Costco or the local marijuana shop or liquor store and buy goods in a responsible , socially distanced manner , then he or she must be allowed to practice their faith using the same precautions.
” The lawsuit was filed by the Center for American Liberty on the behalf of plaintiffs that include Church Unlimited Pastor James Moffatt ; the pastor of Shield of Faith Family Church ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ministries .
The lawsuit was filed days after Moffatt was fined 1,000 for holding church service in Riverside County on Palm Sunday .
Moffatt states in the lawsuit that as a minister , he feels that as a minister , he is required to physically lay hands on the sick and to baptize people personally .
John C. Eastman , a professor of law and community service at Chapman University in Orange , told The Times that he feels the suit “ has merit.
” “ Obviously , stopping a pandemic is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but he added that the issue at hand is if orders being given by officials are narrowly tailored enough to meet the strict scrutiny required of laws dealing with religion .
“ Services with only a single family in a pew , and spaced three pews apart , with everyone wearing masks and gloves , would accomplish the government ’ s purpose in a much less draconian way , ” he continued .
The way that Christian churches have been treated amidst the coronavirus pandemic is nothing short of shameful .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a success , and that liberal governments are sent the message that they can never have the power over religious groups that they crave .

A group of churches in California are coming together to sue the state’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom along with various other officials for social distancing orders that have stopped them from being able to hold services in person.
California is one of many states that have banned gatherings of over ten people due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and while some other states have included exemptions for religious organizations, California has not done this.
“The state does not get to dictate the method of worship to the faithful,” said Harmeet K. Dhillon, chief executive of the nonprofit organization Center for American Liberty, in a statement, according to the Los Angeles Times. “If a Californian is able to go to Costco or the local marijuana shop or liquor store and buy goods in a responsible, socially distanced manner, then he or she must be allowed to practice their faith using the same precautions.”
The lawsuit was filed by the Center for American Liberty on the behalf of plaintiffs that include Church Unlimited Pastor James Moffatt; the pastor of Shield of Faith Family Church; and the pastor of Word of Life Ministries. The lawsuit was filed days after Moffatt was fined 1,000 for holding church service in Riverside County on Palm Sunday.
Moffatt states in the lawsuit that as a minister, he feels that as a minister, he is required to physically lay hands on the sick and to baptize people personally.
John C. Eastman, a professor of law and community service at Chapman University in Orange, told The Times that he feels the suit “has merit.”
“Obviously, stopping a pandemic is a compelling government interest,” Eastman explained, but he added that the issue at hand is if orders being given by officials are narrowly tailored enough to meet the strict scrutiny required of laws dealing with religion.
“Services with only a single family in a pew, and spaced three pews apart, with everyone wearing masks and gloves, would accomplish the government’s purpose in a much less draconian way,” he continued.
The way that Christian churches have been treated amidst the coronavirus pandemic is nothing short of shameful. We can only hope that this lawsuit is a success, and that liberal governments are sent the message that they can never have the power over religious groups that they crave.

California Mayor Forced To Step Down After Comparing Trump Supporters To KKK – Says They’re Worse Than Nazis

A California mayor has been forced to step down this week after launching a truly vile attack on President Donald Trump and his supporters , comparing them to the Ku Klux Klan and saying they are worse than Nazis .
Dr. William Kirby , mayor of the northern California city of Auburn , admitted yesterday to the local city council that some of his posts on social media crossed the line , according to KTXL-TV .
These posts included an image of a hooded KKK member with the caption , “ Good news for Trump supporters is that most of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post , Kirby compared Trump and his supporters to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and his followers .
“ If Hitler and everyone who supported him was removed from the face of the earth in 1939 , the world would be a much better place .
The same is more true of Trump and his supporters today , ” Kirby wrote .
It was reported by the Auburn Journal that Kirby also wrote a disturbing comment on an Atlantic story called “ The President is Trapped.
” “ That right-wing corona virus denier Boris @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 should be next !
!
!
!
” he wrote .
“ And god bless all those evangelicals going to church in large groups… .
There is no cure for stupid… .
But they all vote for Trump anyway so it is ok….
” “ I abhor the things that he has said and done , and I did not hear an apology from him tonight , ” Councilwoman Cheryl Maki said during Monday ’ s video conference meeting , adding that “ it would be appropriate ” if Kirby “ would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Matt ] Spokely this evening and let him run the meeting , ” However , he later added that he will step down as mayor in the next council meeting , which is scheduled to take place on April 27 .
Kirby released the following statement about the situation , refusing to apologize over it : I have spent 40 years of my life dedicated to serving Auburn as a physician and through my volunteer efforts .
Some people have viewed my posts , which were meant to be private and made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top .
Some were , and I regret that .
I want to share with you where my frustrations have come from .
As a doctor I see nurses , respiratory therapists , other medical staff , first responders , and my medical colleagues as well as their patients dying unnecessarily because of the lack of preparation for the Corona virus , the president has put us all at risk .
I believe history will judge those who stood up against damaging policies and ideologies and those that did not .
He later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but “ a fiscal conservative that believes in equality for everybody.
” “ [ Facebook ] is not a city site .
It ’ s a personal site , ” he added of the posts .
“ This has nothing to do with my job .

I think [ Trump ] is a racist , absolutely.
” However , Councilwoman Maki told reporters that she had received “ so many private messages on my Facebook account [ about Kirby ’ s posts ] I haven ’ t had a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s unfortunate our mayor is spending his time posting hate speech on Facebook when there are so many more important things at this time , ” she said .
“ We talked to him [ in the past ] .

It ’ s divisive , unnecessary , and it ’ s harmful to our community.
” “ He needs to make a public apology for what he ’ s done , ” the councilwoman added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ KKK is unacceptable .
It ’ s hateful and wrong.

A California mayor has been forced to step down this week after launching a truly vile attack on President Donald Trump and his supporters, comparing them to the Ku Klux Klan and saying they are worse than Nazis.
Dr. William Kirby, mayor of the northern California city of Auburn, admitted yesterday to the local city council that some of his posts on social media crossed the line, according to KTXL-TV. These posts included an image of a hooded KKK member with the caption, “Good news for Trump supporters is that most of them already have masks.”
“True,” Kirby commented on the photo.
In another post, Kirby compared Trump and his supporters to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and his followers.
“If Hitler and everyone who supported him was removed from the face of the earth in 1939, the world would be a much better place. The same is more true of Trump and his supporters today,” Kirby wrote.
It was reported by the Auburn Journal that Kirby also wrote a disturbing comment on an Atlantic story called “The President is Trapped.”
“That right-wing corona virus denier Boris Johnson just got hospitalized. Guess which 2 should be next!!!!” he wrote. “And god bless all those evangelicals going to church in large groups…. There is no cure for stupid…. But they all vote for Trump anyway so it is ok….”
Council members were understandably disturbed by Kirby’s comments.
“I abhor the things that he has said and done, and I did not hear an apology from him tonight,” Councilwoman Cheryl Maki said during Monday’s video conference meeting, adding that “it would be appropriate” if Kirby “would hand the gavel over to Vice Mayor [Matt] Spokely this evening and let him run the meeting,”
Kirby responded by saying simply, “No.”
However, he later added that he will step down as mayor in the next council meeting, which is scheduled to take place on April 27. Kirby released the following statement about the situation, refusing to apologize over it:
I have spent 40 years of my life dedicated to serving Auburn as a physician and through my volunteer efforts. Some people have viewed my posts, which were meant to be private and made out of frustration, as over the top. Some were, and I regret that. I want to share with you where my frustrations have come from.

He later added that he is not a Democrat but “a fiscal conservative that believes in equality for everybody.”
“[Facebook] is not a city site. It’s a personal site,” he added of the posts. “This has nothing to do with my job. I re-posted it. I think [Trump] is a racist, absolutely.”
However, Councilwoman Maki told reporters that she had received “so many private messages on my Facebook account [about Kirby’s posts] I haven’t had a chance to respond to anybody.”
“It’s unfortunate our mayor is spending his time posting hate speech on Facebook when there are so many more important things at this time,” she said. “We talked to him [in the past]. He promised not to do it anymore, and he continues to post hate speech. It’s divisive, unnecessary, and it’s harmful to our community.”
“He needs to make a public apology for what he’s done,” the councilwoman added. “Referring to one side as KKK is unacceptable. It’s hateful and wrong.”
Liberals usually get a free pass when it comes to this kind of hate speech, so we’re glad to see that a crazed leftists is actually facing consequences for his actions. Hopefully this sends a message to Democrats everywhere that there is no place for this level of hatred towards conservatives in this country.

Hollywood Comes Unglued Over President Trump’s Formation Of Council To Reopen America – Calls It ‘The Death Squad’

The liberal world of Hollywood was completely “ triggered ” this week by President Donald Trump ’ s formation of the Council to Reopen America , which aims to jumpstart the American economy .
While this is something that we should all be excited about , Hollywood leftists acted like it was the absolute worst thing in the world and resorted to bullying the members of the council .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-14--Georgia Democrat Vernon Jones Endorses Trump In 2020

Joe Biden isn ’ t the only one getting an endorsement today .
Georgia State Representative Vernon Jones ( D ) has defied party conventions and endorsed President Trump for reelection .
Jones praised the President for his handling of the economy and the impact his policies have had on the black community .
“ It ’ s very simple to me , ” the lawmaker stated .
“ President Trump ’ s handling of the economy , his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign.
” He is the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the President .
Fellow Democrats , according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution , were noticeably outraged at Jones decision and “ accused him of betrayal.
” The resistance party is not a big fan of freedom of thought .
“ This is not about switching parties .
There are a lot of African-Americans who clearly see and appreciate he ’ s doing something that ’ s never been done before , ” Jones explained .
“ When you look at the unemployment rates among black Americans before the pandemic , they were at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ That ’ s just a fact.
” Senator Tim Scott in February predicted a significant uptick in support from the black community for Trump come Election Day .
“ President Trump will see a 50 percent increase in his African-American support , ” Scott predicted .
“ It will go from 8 percent in 2016 to a minimum of 12 percent in 2020 .
He may even get to 15 percent of the African American vote , and that is game over.
” A recent Fox News poll indicates Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 percent , a remarkable number for a Republican .

Joe Biden isn’t the only one getting an endorsement today. Georgia State Representative Vernon Jones (D) has defied party conventions and endorsed President Trump for reelection.
Jones praised the President for his handling of the economy and the impact his policies have had on the black community.
“It’s very simple to me,” the lawmaker stated. “President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign.”
He is the first state elected Democrat official to voice support for the President.
Dems Outraged
Fellow Democrats, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, were noticeably outraged at Jones decision and “accused him of betrayal.”
The resistance party is not a big fan of freedom of thought.
“This is not about switching parties. There are a lot of African-Americans who clearly see and appreciate he’s doing something that’s never been done before,” Jones explained.
“When you look at the unemployment rates among black Americans before the pandemic, they were at historic lows.,” he continued. “That’s just a fact.”
BREAKING: Democrat Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones just endorsed President Trump for a second term. He said that he views Trump as a “transformative figure who has helped African-American voters, military vets, and farmers with his policies.” Incredible! — Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) April 14, 2020

Black Voters Could Carry Trump
Senator Tim Scott in February predicted a significant uptick in support from the black community for Trump come Election Day.
“President Trump will see a 50 percent increase in his African-American support,” Scott predicted. “It will go from 8 percent in 2016 to a minimum of 12 percent in 2020. He may even get to 15 percent of the African American vote, and that is game over.”
A recent Fox News poll indicates Trump’s approval rating amongst black voters is approaching 20 percent, a remarkable number for a Republican.

But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was popular and the myriad scandals of his two terms in office could come to haunt Biden .
As vice-president under Obama , Biden has his share of blame for those ethical lapses and corrupt practices .

“There is a particular cruelty – irony – that it is their core viewers, the Republican older viewers, who are the most at risk,” Rubin claimed. “I hate to put it this way, but there will be less Democrat deaths because there will be less mass gatherings …”
Imagine knowing somebody out there said something that ridiculously false and then you go out there and amplify it as Zurawik has.
Nobody goes full Rubin, David.
Why He Said It
Zurawik, believe it or not, has a method to his madness.
Last summer he appeared on CNN and described President Trump as “a sick person” who is “so far down this road of evil” that he can’t change his allegedly racist behavior.
Now he wants to convince you that the President is killing people.
Why? As he said later in that same segment from July, the only way the media can prove it isn’t biased against the President is to “change voters’ minds for 2020.”
That’s exactly what Zurawik is doing – trying to force a change of mind in Republican voters by making outrageous claims contrary to reality.

America Supports Trump’s Press Conferences
Here’s the funny part – Zurawik is upset about Trump’s press conferences and wants him taken off the air.
“Televised daily briefings,” he tweeted. “TV can morally no longer be party to Trump’s reckless and dangerous behavior at the podium as thousands die.”
First the Fake News Media said that it’s not fair for the President of the United States to be giving news conferences, but it is the only way I can reach the American People, as seen in the below poll. pic.twitter.com/xP2rqjqtaf — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 13, 2020
A recent poll shared by the President himself shows that more than three-quarters of Americans find his briefings ‘helpful and informative,’ including 62 percent of Democrats.
Turns out the President’s conferences are saving lives. And that makes him a far more ‘Reliable Source’ than anything CNN has to offer.

Amid the impeachment battle and the virus , the American people have still continued to express their confidence in President Trump in a very personal and significant way , with their wallets .
The president ’ s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee brought in $ 212 million in the first quarter of 2020 .

This cycle the GOP and Trump have raised more than $ 677 million .
That is $ 270 million more than Barack Obama had at this point in his successful 2012 campaign .
This GOP cash was raised despite the economic calamities befalling many voters .
Some may even be out of work right now .
But they still gave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign and the GOP .
Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale commented Monday , “ Americans can see President Trump leading this nation through a serious crisis and they are responding with their continued enthusiastic support for his reelection .
Joe Biden , Democrats , and the media continue to oppose his every action , but the people know that President Trump is fighting for them so they are fighting for him as well.
” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel also said Monday , “ President Trump ’ s unyielding commitment to the American people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the President we need to lead our country through the crisis and it ’ s clear that voters are responding to his bold leadership .
The enthusiasm for President Trump and our Party remains strong , and we continue to be all systems go toward November.
