From 2002 to today , Lynne has been a featured speaker at small meetings and large conferences .

She has been recognized by her peers as an expert in Common Core , Career Tech Education , Career Pathways , workforce and competency-based education reform , federal overreaches into education and our families .

Anti Fed Ed Warriors, there’s a lot to cover in our fight against the overreaches of the CCSS Machine. Plans for a post-COVID America are underway in more than just D.C.
Taxpayer robbery will get a boost as We the People help build the new safer schools and udpated HVAC systems to be required in a post-pandemic society.
Warriors, if that’s where the agenda stopped, that would be one thing, but it’s just the beginning.
C’mon, we’ve got to step in line to follow the money and control!
Step In Line At the White House:
Warriors, if we were following our U.S. Constitution, our first REAL ‘step’ in the CCSS Machine’s line would be Congress, however, our current President Trump has taken to bypass Congress and We the People one more time to insert the workforce prep agenda into our PreK to adult education system. (press release)
The ‘selling point’? Boosting a post-COVID America with skill-based labor.
On June 26, 2020, just a few days ago, President Trump signed an executive order so new, the Federal Registry hasn’t had time to even number it! As of this writing the last Executive Order, EO, (centers on child welfare system updates), was 13930. So, the workforce based EO should be 13931.
However, since the President signed 2 EOs that day, it could also be 13932. We’ll have to see. (*Note: the 2nd EO signed was centered federal actions against States and citizens harming statutes and creating havoc.)
So what will yet-to-be-numbered workforce EO do?
Warriors, the new EO extends a 2018 one that created and established the national level streamlining of education and labor in CCR (College/Career Readiness) and CTE (Career Tech Education). Both of these include STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, (the Arts), and, Math). EO 13845 did a lot more damage to our freedoms that a simple step in line with globalism and a bare education working population. You can read how much damage was being put into place then (and lives on today), here.
This new EO will not only extend the National Council until 2021, it will connect to any previous or future workforce (employment/job) bills, laws, and, policies. This new EO also can be tied to several others which are related to the Trump Administration, as well as President Obama’s. (*Note: the ed/labor ties date back to before many of us were born! To see the EOs of both officials, go here.)
Next Step, Congress:
From the U.S. House of Representatives Ed/Labor Committee (Democrats), this June 23rd, 2020 member meeting. Why was this meeting important? It discussed the remodeling and reopening of schools across America.
Interestingly, the chair admitted that the federal government is TOO dependent on OUR property taxes (yet no one in D.C. is slowing THAT process down). Among those speaking was Randi Weingarten from AFT (American Federation of Teachers).
It was also revealing in this meeting that a new Bill ($130 billion) for updating (new HVAC systems in EVERY schools) or a total rebuilding of the actual buildings! (*Note: HR 2 is just over 1,000 pages. Education is embedded 72 times and does include services connected to schools that are available to all community members.)
From the U.S. House’s Ed/Labor GOP side, this press release from Rep. Virginia Foxx (who has gone on record to state that ‘all education is CTE’.)
Next Step? The U.S. Federal Registry:
Warriors, this unexpected step reveals 3 distinct concerns for us in the ed/labor alignment.
First up is the Promise Neighborhoods for Native American Tribes. There’s a set of proposed rule changes. PNs, as they are called were an Obama initiative that was picked up and thrown into ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act).
These neighborhoods promise wrap around total community services in the name of student success.
Comments on the changes can be made from now to July 29, 2020. Read the information, here. Comments can be submitted here.
Then, there are the recent FCC changes that appear to open Pandora’s box in the name of 5G and massive data mining. This will not only breach your privacy in daily life, but used as a tracker in ed/labor.
Lastly, the new faith based advisory council in the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security. How does this connect to education? Safety in churches and faith-based organizations. Not only overreaching into a personal belief system, but data mining increases.
Last Step, Corporate CCSS Machine Members:
Right in step with the House’s HR 2 Bill, The Gates Foundation has just awarded the CCSSO and CFC (Council of Chief State School Officers and Chiefs for Change) over $1 million to go directly to SEAs and LEAs (State Education Agencies and Local Education Agencies) for school upgrades in safety due to COVID-19.
If you go to the Chiefs for Change website, you can see they have ‘it’ all figured out and have also been to D.C. to testify before Congress on reopening/rebuilding.
Related Resources:
1) A timeline that leads up to the national workforce council of today.
2) The article with the federal statutes broken by merging education and labor. This was right after the EO creating the National Workforce Council was signed.
3) Details Sec. of Ed, DeVos’s willing signature to take Americans down this aligned step-in-line path we find ourselves on.
4) Chiefs for Change and the U.S. Dept. of Ed’s Family Ambassadors (because parents need the federal government’s parenting agenda).
Closing:
Warriors, our #1 action, is to submit public comments against PNs for Native American Tribes. Remember, a very short window of opportunity is given.
Also, contact your officials and show them why these new FCC and workforce councils HARM our freedoms. They DO NOT protect them!
Call, share, do something so that you can say at the end of the day, I’ve stepped out of the agenda line!

“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.” ― William Pitt the Younger
19Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears: 20But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. 21Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. 22So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found. 23And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash. -1 Samuel 13:19-23
35And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. -Luke 22:35-38
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.” – Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787
“O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone; and you have no longer an aristrocratical, no longer a democratical spirit. Did you ever read of any revolution in a nation, brought about by the punishment of those in power, inflicted by those who had no power at all?” -Patrick Henry, Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1788
“It is a great mark of the corruption of our natures, and what ought to humble us extremely, and excite the exercise of our reason to a nobler and juster sense, that we cannot see the use and pleasure of our comforts but by the want of them. As if we could not taste the benefit of health, but by the help of sickness; nor understand the satisfaction of fullness without the instruction of want; not, finally, know the comfort of peace but by the smart and penance of the vices of war: And without dispute that is not the lest reason that God is pleased to chastise us so frequently with it.” -William Penn
“A people who would stand fast in their liberty, should furnish themselves with weapons proper for their defence, and learn the use of them. It is indeed an hard case, that those who are happy in the blessings of providence, and disposed to live peaceably with all men, should be obliged to keep up the idea of blood and slaughter, and expend their time and treasure to acquire the arts and instruments of death. But this is a necessity which the depravity of human nature has laid upon every state. Nor was there ever a people that continued, for any considerable time, in the enjoyment of liberty, who were not in a capacity to defend themselves against invaders, unless they were too poor and inconsiderable to tempt an enemy.” – Simeon Howard to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in Boston, June 7, 1773

In a video that was posted to social media, Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels stated that he doesn’t want a division between his men and the public and would deputize local gun owners to counter those who sought to escalate protests to the point of bringing violence.
“Is it a threat? Absolutely not, but somebody has to step up in front of the camera and say enough is enough,” Daniels said.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-01--Founding Fathers Quotes on Guns & the Second Amendment’s Right to Keep & Bear Arms

The Second Amendment is perhaps one of the most straightforward Amendments in the Bill of Rights .
Yet , it remains one of the most controversial , mostly due to the clause regarding “ a well regulated militia ” – a topic we ’ ve written about before .
While the freedom of association clause in the First Amendment is one of the most eroded in the Constitution , the Second Amendment is perhaps the most under attack .
Few would argue in favor of repealing the First Amendment or even ignoring it because it is politically inconvenient .
However @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of gun control advocate for – either radical abridgements of the Second Amendment or its direct repeal .
Fortunately , there are also well-funded organizations fighting these forces in the American political sphere , but it is a tough and constant battle .
It ’ s not there for hunters .
The Founders were very clear : The Second Amendment exists for citizens to protect themselves against tyranny .
“ O sir , we should have fine times , indeed , if , to punish tyrants , it were only sufficient to assemble @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you could defend yourselves , are gone ; and you have no longer an aristrocratical , no longer a democratical spirit .
Did you ever read of any revolution in a nation , brought about by the punishment of those in power , inflicted by those who had no power at all ?
” “ It is a great mark of the corruption of our natures , and what ought to humble us extremely , and excite the exercise of our reason to a nobler and juster sense , that we can not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comforts but by the want of them .

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Amendment II, The U.S. Constitution
The Second Amendment is perhaps one of the most straightforward Amendments in the Bill of Rights. Yet, it remains one of the most controversial, mostly due to the clause regarding “a well regulated militia” – a topic we’ve written about before.
While the freedom of association clause in the First Amendment is one of the most eroded in the Constitution, the Second Amendment is perhaps the most under attack. Few would argue in favor of repealing the First Amendment or even ignoring it because it is politically inconvenient. However, this is precisely what the champions of gun control advocate for – either radical abridgements of the Second Amendment or its direct repeal. Fortunately, there are also well-funded organizations fighting these forces in the American political sphere, but it is a tough and constant battle.
It’s not there for hunters. The Founders were very clear: The Second Amendment exists for citizens to protect themselves against tyranny.
Curated by Alex Horsman
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.”
Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787
“O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone; and you have no longer an aristrocratical, no longer a democratical spirit. Did you ever read of any revolution in a nation, brought about by the punishment of those in power, inflicted by those who had no power at all?”
Patrick Henry, Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1788
“It is a great mark of the corruption of our natures, and what ought to humble us extremely, and excite the exercise of our reason to a nobler and juster sense, that we cannot see the use and pleasure of our comforts but by the want of them. As if we could not taste the benefit of health, but by the help of sickness; nor understand the satisfaction of fullness without the instruction of want; not, finally, know the comfort of peace but by the smart and penance of the vices of war: And without dispute that is not the lest reason that God is pleased to chastise us so frequently with it.”
“A people who would stand fast in their liberty, should furnish themselves with weapons proper for their defence, and learn the use of them. It is indeed an hard case, that those who are happy in the blessings of providence, and disposed to live peaceably with all men, should be obliged to keep up the idea of blood and slaughter, and expend their time and treasure to acquire the arts and instruments of death. But this is a necessity which the depravity of human nature has laid upon every state. Nor was there ever a people that continued, for any considerable time, in the enjoyment of liberty, who were not in a capacity to defend themselves against invaders, unless they were too poor and inconsiderable to tempt an enemy.”
Simeon Howard to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in Boston, June 7, 1773
“Men are also bound, individuals and societies, to take care of their temporal happiness, and do all they lawfully can, to promote it. But what can be more inconsistent with this duty, than submitting to great encroachments upon our liberty? Such submission tends to slavery; and compleat slavery implies every evil that the malice of man and devils can inflict.”
Simeon Howard to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in Boston, June 7, 1773
“In a general view there are very few conquests that repay the charge of making them, and mankind are pretty well convinced that it can never be worth their while to go to war for profit sake. If they are made war upon, their country invaded, or their existence at stake, it is their duty to defend and preserve themselves, but in every other light and from every other cause is war inglorious and detestable.”
Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1778
“The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside… Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them.”
Thomas Paine, The Writings of Thomas Paine, 1894
“Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in our possession and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
“The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace both from the enormous expenses with which they are attended and the facile means which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers to subvert the government or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers and will generally even if these are successful the first instance enable the people to resist and triumph over them.”
“That no man shou’d scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing, on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms…should be the last resource.”
George Washington, Letter to George Mason, April 5, 1769
“The Constitutions of most of our states assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, both fact and law, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person; freedom of religion; freedom of property; and freedom of the press.”
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Cartwright, June 5, 1824
“That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United states who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
Samuel Adams, in Phila. Independent Gazetteer, August 20, 1789

of Revenue

WASHINGTON, DC — Rejecting long-standing state laws that discriminate against religion, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Montana must allow scholarships it provides to be used by families for tuition at religious schools. The Court’s 5-4 decision in Espinoza v. Mont. Dept. of Revenue found that a state constitutional provision restricting aid to religious institutions violates the First Amendment rights of parents and children when applied to forbid families from using state financial assistance to attend private schools with religious ties. In an amicus brief filed in Espinoza, The Rutherford Institute pointed out that the school choice restriction was the result of a 150-year-old provision known as a “Blaine Amendment,” which was enacted in an era when anti-Catholic prejudice and nativist opposition to immigration from Ireland and Germany were rampant. Thirty-seven states still have versions of the Blaine Amendments in their Constitutions.
Attorneys Jason P. Gosselin, John M. Bloor and Joseph P. Connor of Drinker Biddle & Reath assisted The Rutherford Institute in advancing the arguments in Espinoza.
“The First Amendment requires neutrality when it comes to religion,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People . “In other words, the government may not favor or disfavor one religion over another, nor may it favor or disfavor religion over non-religion, with the reverse holding true, as well. The Constitution establishes a neutral playing field for all viewpoints and requires the government to remain equally impartial. That is the beauty of the Establishment Clause.”
In 2015, the Montana Legislature created a scholarship program for students intended to provide parents with more choices on where their children would attend school.
The program fostered this choice by providing individuals and businesses with a tax credit of up to $150 annually for donations made to private organizations that provide scholarships to students who wish to attend private schools.
However, the state’s taxing agency ruled that students could not use scholarships at any school “owned or controlled in whole or in part by any church, religious sect, or denomination,” citing the state constitution’s Blaine Amendment as justification.
Kendra Espinoza, a single mother depending on the scholarship funds to offset private school tuition costs, exercised her right to choose the best school for her children by selecting a Christian school whose values she preferred, as opposed to keeping her daughters in public school where they had been bullied.
When her ability to use scholarship funds for the Christian school was cut off, Espinoza sued asserting that the exclusion of religious school from the scholarship program discriminated against religion in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Writing for the 5-4 majority, Chief Justice John Roberts noted that states are not required to subsidize private education, “but once a State decides to do so, it cannot disqualify some private schools solely because they are religious.”
The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties organization, provides legal assistance at no charge to individuals whose constitutional rights have been threatened or violated and educates the public on a wide spectrum of issues affecting their freedoms.

Unfortunately , the entire world has been steadily moving in a cashless direction for many years , and this pandemic has given opponents of cash a window of opportunity to push us down that road even faster .

The coin shortage in the United States is becoming quite severe, and a lot of people are deeply concerned about where this might be leading us. But if you don’t run a business or deal with coins on a regular basis, you may not even know that it is happening. On Monday, my wife told me that a lot of people on Facebook were talking about this nationwide coin shortage, and then on Tuesday Ricky Scaparo posted a couple of news stories about it, so I decided that I better start looking into this. Because if this coin shortage is going to be used to push us toward a cashless society, that makes it a really big deal.
What I discovered is that this coin shortage has actually been intensifying for quite a few weeks, and on June 11th the Federal Reserve issued a statement in which they announced that coin rationing would begin on June 15th…
Consequently, effective Monday, June 15, Reserve Banks and Federal Reserve coin distribution locations began allocating coin inventories. To ensure a fair and equitable distribution of existing coin inventory to all depository institutions, effective June 15, the Federal Reserve Banks and their coin distribution locations began to allocate available supplies of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to depository institutions as a temporary measure. The temporary coin allocation methodology is based on historical order volume by coin denomination and depository institution endpoint, and current U.S. Mint production levels. Order limits are unique by coin denomination and are the same across all Federal Reserve coin distribution locations. Limits will be reviewed and potentially revised based on national receipt levels, inventories, and Mint production.
It turns out that the rationing has been a lot stricter than many people originally anticipated. One small bank in Tennessee that would normally use “400 to 500 rolls of pennies each week” is now only being given 100 rolls per week…
“It was just a surprise,” said Gay Dempsey, who runs the Bank of Lincoln County in Tennessee, when she learned of the rationing order. “Nobody was expecting it.” Dempsey’s bank typically dispenses 400 to 500 rolls of pennies each week. Under the rationing order, her allotment was cut down to just 100 rolls, with similar cutbacks in nickels, dimes and quarters.
Businesses of all types rely on their banks to supply them with the change they need for their customers, and now many of those businesses are being forced to make major changes because of this coin shortage.
In fact, it is being reported that some businesses around the country are starting to put up signs asking their customers to either pay with exact change or with a card…
First to go were masks, then toilet paper and now there’s a national coin shortage. The 7-Eleven on Oakwood Ave. has a sign asking customers to pay in exact change or by card. According to the First News Now Facebook, several residents across Tioga County, Pennsylvania mentioned that there’s a coin shortage throughout the area. Some businesses, like Lowes in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, have posted signs in their stores to inform their customers before they check out with their purchases.
And I was stunned to hear that cash has been “temporarily” banned at all Meijer self-checkout lanes…
Cash temporarily won’t be accepted at Meijer self-checkout lanes due to a national shortage of coins. Customers who want to pay with bills will have to visit Meijer’s staffed checkout lanes for the time being, according to a company statement. The change is in effect at most of Grand Rapids-based retail giant’s 250 supercenters.
Hopefully, this coin shortage will start to subside once this coronavirus pandemic begins to fade, but right now there are no indications that this pandemic is going to fade any time soon. The mainstream media keeps telling us that the pandemic is getting worse, and the number of new cases being reported around the world has been surging in recent weeks.
From the very beginning of this pandemic, we have been told that using cash is potentially “dangerous” because it could possibly spread the virus. The following comes from an article by Claudio Grass…
Even in the early stages of the pandemic, when essentially nothing was concretely known about the virus itself or its transmission, the seeds of new fears were already planted by sensational media reports and fear-mongering political and institutional figures. The insidious idea that “you can catch Covid through cash” might have been prematurely spread, but it did stick in most people’s minds. This is, of course, understandable, given the extremely high levels of uncertainty and anxiety in the general public. Wanting to eliminate potential threats was a natural instinct and so was the urge to take back at least some control over our lives, after they’d been suddenly thrown into utter chaos in the wake of the global economic freeze. Another factor that concretely helped the shift away from physical cash was an entirely practical one. Given the lockdown measures and the new “social distancing” directives that were enforced all over the world, it became difficult to use cash, even if you really wanted to, or had no other means of transaction, as is the case for billions of people. With physical stores being forced to shut down and with more and more online shops offering contactless delivery (either as a choice or as a service requirement), the need for cash very quickly gave way to digital payments.
Of course, central banks all over the globe have been encouraging the use of digital payments for a very long time, and so this pandemic has given them a golden opportunity to accelerate that agenda.

Baltimore Pastor Tears Up COVID Cease & Desist Letter: “News Flash! Pharoah Doesn’t Get To Dictate To God’s People How They Worship Their God!”
In the midst of a Wednesday night service, a Baltimore pastor defied the Beast system and the governor by preaching against the tyranny of the state. In the middle of his sermon, he ripped up a cease and desist letter related to the COVID-19, coronavirus hoax and declared that the Beast doesn’t get to dictate how God’s people worship, following up with “We’re gonna do it God’s way!”
Fox News reports:
A Baltimore pastor tore up a cease-and-desist letter mid-sermon Wednesday night after local officials threatened a $5,000 fine earlier in the week for holding in-person services.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced last Friday that houses of worship could reopen at 50 percent capacity, citing declining hospitalizations related to the coronavirus pandemic. He left the timing up to local jurisdictions. The state has had more than 41,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and at least 2,081 deaths.
Stacey Shiflett, pastor of the 400-member Calvary Baptist Church in Dundalk, held a Wednesday night service. With more than 100 congregants in the 600-capacity sanctuary, Calvary was in compliance with Hogan’s order but in defiance of the Baltimore County Department of Health and Human Services’ order.
“With this cease-and-desist letter in my hand, the Bible says to the New Testament church ‘not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together as the manner of some is, but so much more as you see the day approaching,’ and the closer we get to Jesus coming back, the more church we ought to be having, not less church,” Pastor Shiflett preached.
“So newsflash,” Shiflett thundered. “Pharaoh doesn’t get to dictate to God’s people how they worship their God. God is the one who defines the parameters. God is the one that communicates his will and his plan for his church, not Egypt.”
“And I’m telling you right now, with this cease-and-desist letter in my hand, the Bible says to the New Testament church ‘not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together as the manner of some is, but so much the more as you see the day approaching,’ and the closer we get to Jesus coming back, the more church we ought to be having, not less church,” he continued. “Now that’s God’s parameters. So I’m tearing up this cease-and-desist order right here, and I’m telling you right now, we’re gonna do it God’s way! We’re gonna do it God’s way! God tells us how to worship Him, nobody else gets to do that.”
The pastor said, “I don’t plan on shutting the church. If they fine us, I’m not paying it. It’s unconstitutional. They don’t have a leg to stand on.”
He also tweeted out a short video clip of his message and ripping up the letter on Twitter.

Amen! and Amen!
The true Church will never bow to the Beast, never!
Those already showing their hand and trembling before the Beast rather than advancing the crown rights of King Jesus should be abandoned and the hirelings of those church’s exposed for what they are.
Well done, Pastor Shiflett!

What Makes July 4th Truly Significant?

As we enter the 245th year of the independence of these United States , it seems more than appropriate that we pause and consider what “ independence ” means , from whence it originates , and , perhaps most importantly , how it can be preserved for future generations .
At the heart of the Declaration of Independence is a legal and logical argument , which can be summarized like this : The King of England had persisted in continual wrongdoing against the rights of the people of the American colonies .
Therefore , the dissolution of the previous relationship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the reasonable and sensible remedy for that continual wrongdoing .
Well , that ’ s all well and good , but doesn ’ t it presuppose that the affairs of nations are governed by an objective standard of right and wrong ?
Well , yes , it does .
In fact , the Declaration contains a list of 27 grievances against the king ; but without a transcendent standard for right and wrong , any listing of perceived wrongs would be nothing but an exercise in nonsense .
Perhaps this is why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of their argument in the very first sentence .
They referenced the “ Laws of Nature and of Nature ’ s God.
” In other words , they said the standard for right and wrong was God ’ s Word .
The Declaration is direct evidence that American independence was — and still is — based upon a universal acceptance of God ’ s Word and His law as authoritative in all matters .
This is why it is so disappointing to hear foolish voices of politicians , institutions of higher learning , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law — rejecting God ’ s standards of right and wrong — and ignorantly and foolishly working against their own interest and the interest of future Americans .
America ’ s founders properly understood that rights come from God .
Therefore , we have no right to do what God has declared to be wrong .
There is no right to murder one ’ s child .
There is no right to kidnap a human being and force them into involuntary slavery of any sort .
There is no right to enact man-made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than moral conduct .
There is no right for ministers to perform same-sex marriages .
All of these , and many more perverse behaviors , are unlawful and are in contra-position to the underlying philosophy of American law and government .

At the heart of the Declaration of Independence is a legal and logical argument, which can be summarized like this:
The King of England had persisted in continual wrongdoing against the rights of the people of the American colonies. Therefore, the dissolution of the previous relationship between Great Britain and the American colonies was the reasonable and sensible remedy for that continual wrongdoing.
Well, that’s all well and good, but doesn’t it presuppose that the affairs of nations are governed by an objective standard of right and wrong?
Well, yes, it does. In fact, the Declaration contains a list of 27 grievances against the king; but without a transcendent standard for right and wrong, any listing of perceived wrongs would be nothing but an exercise in nonsense.
Perhaps this is why our founders dealt with this essential element of their argument in the very first sentence. They referenced the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” In other words, they said the standard for right and wrong was God’s Word.
The Declaration is direct evidence that American independence was — and still is — based upon a universal acceptance of God’s Word and His law as authoritative in all matters.
This is why it is so disappointing to hear foolish voices of politicians, institutions of higher learning, and members of media rejecting the moral law — rejecting God’s standards of right and wrong — and ignorantly and foolishly working against their own interest and the interest of future Americans.
America’s founders properly understood that rights come from God. Therefore, we have no right to do what God has declared to be wrong. There is no right to murder one’s child. There is no right to kidnap a human being and force them into involuntary slavery of any sort. There is no right to enact man-made laws that discriminate based on skin color rather than moral conduct. There is no right for ministers to perform same-sex marriages. All of these, and many more perverse behaviors, are unlawful and are in contra-position to the underlying philosophy of American law and government.
Here’s one more crucial thing to remember about Independence Day:
Our ancestors’ Biblical understanding of right and wrong would have no historic significance absent their commitment to boldly defend their God-given rights.
Despite the certain calamitous outcome, on July 4th, 1776, America’s fifty-six representatives sealed their commitment in the Declaration of Independence with a solemn oath: “For the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”
This Fourth of July, while you celebrate American liberty, let’s not forget the words of Thomas Paine: “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”
Happy Independence Day, America!

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-02--So, Now Celebrating Independence Day Is White Supremacy?

It ’ s admittedly somewhat dispiriting – the idea that we ’ re going into the 244th anniversary of Independence Day with so little to celebrate in the context of our nation ’ s current status and future .
For some , our annual Independence Day celebrations may have been just another day off of work , but for many more , it was a day in which we could spend time with friends and family , taking stock of our blessings and our gratitude for living in the greatest nation humanity had ever established .
Due to restrictions arising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , many Independence Day celebrations this year have either been canceled , scaled back or mutated into something we ’ d just as soon pass up .
Due to a spike in coronavirus cases , several states are reinstating restrictions that had been lifted earlier , which will certainly put an additional damper on festivities .
As July 4 approaches , we ’ re also seeing a new form of exploitation of the racial tension that has plagued America since May 25 , when a black man was killed by a police officer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police brutality we ’ ve ever seen on video .
As we know , this tragic occurrence has been taken advantage of by communists and anarchists in a dedicated effort to catalyze a socialist revolution .
As people begin to forget who George Floyd even was , leftists have nevertheless become emboldened and are revealing more and more of their true agenda .
Most readers of this column will be aware that this has nothing to do with justice for George Floyd , racism or police reform .
These are simply pretexts for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In recent weeks , we ’ ve been treated to violent demonstrations in our major cities , with subversive thugs taking over entire sections thereof .
Despite ostensibly protesting police brutality against blacks , quite often the video footage depicting these protests doesn ’ t show one black face in the crowd .
We have inarticulate affirmative action university professors claiming that all whites are racists , and Civil War statues being pulled down irrespective of whether the individual represented fought for the Union or the Confederacy .
More recently , one perennially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christ represent white supremacy , and some students at the University of Wisconsin now want a statue of Abraham Lincoln removed from their campus .
Despite having ended slavery , apparently Lincoln wasn ’ t “ woke ” enough .
The new form of exploitation to which I refer is that of the political left claiming that Independence Day celebrations support white supremacy , presumably because the men who founded our nation were all white and , of course , deeply racist , genocidal maniacs .
Although it ’ s indisputable that much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unrest in America has to do with the left ’ s imperative for removing President Donald Trump from office ( via the ballot box or otherwise ) , the exploitation of racial tension we ’ re seeing is in fact being driven by socialists globally and includes powerful interests worldwide .
As reported recently , the Twitter account of Black Lives Matter U.K. is now tweeting in support of Palestine , bashing Zionism and excoriating members of the Jewish community in Britain .
What does police brutality in Minnesota have to do with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Are there racist police officers in the U.K. abusing black people ?
No , but as we should be well-aware at this juncture , none of this is about racism – it ’ s about subverting the predominant paradigm .
As the left sees it , that is represented by anything white , Judeo-Christian , straight , male or possesses any hint of traditional values or normalcy .
Black Lives Matter having an interest in policy in the U.K. makes about as much sense as Londoners demonstrating against Donald Trump – unless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a global effort to leverage the civil unrest we ’ re experiencing into a worldwide campaign to obliterate anything that smacks of the Western democratic process .
As preposterous as the left ’ s charges and proposed remedies are , the real danger lies in Americans ’ proclivity for capitulating to all manner of imprudent public-policy measures , as we ’ ve repeatedly done in recent years , particularly when failure to do so would result in being called a racist , a homophobe or some other invective .
Given the vigorous ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being undertaken by so many individuals and organizations , this obviously remains a significant factor in how public policy is formed in America .
While some conservative commentators have pointed out that the radical fringe seeking to destabilize the U.S. and install a hard-line socialist regime is a distinct minority , it is worth mentioning that those who sought independence from Britain in 1776 were also a distinct minority – and they weren ’ t fortunate enough to essentially own half the members of the British parliament at that time .

It’s admittedly somewhat dispiriting – the idea that we’re going into the 244th anniversary of Independence Day with so little to celebrate in the context of our nation’s current status and future. For some, our annual Independence Day celebrations may have been just another day off of work, but for many more, it was a day in which we could spend time with friends and family, taking stock of our blessings and our gratitude for living in the greatest nation humanity had ever established.

As we know, this tragic occurrence has been taken advantage of by communists and anarchists in a dedicated effort to catalyze a socialist revolution.
As people begin to forget who George Floyd even was, leftists have nevertheless become emboldened and are revealing more and more of their true agenda. Most readers of this column will be aware that this has nothing to do with justice for George Floyd, racism or police reform. These are simply pretexts for burning “the system” down.
In recent weeks, we’ve been treated to violent demonstrations in our major cities, with subversive thugs taking over entire sections thereof.

As reported recently, the Twitter account of Black Lives Matter U.K. is now tweeting in support of Palestine, bashing Zionism and excoriating members of the Jewish community in Britain.
What does police brutality in Minnesota have to do with the U.K. or Palestine? Absolutely nothing. Are there racist police officers in the U.K. abusing black people? No, but as we should be well-aware at this juncture, none of this is about racism – it’s about subverting the predominant paradigm. As the left sees it, that is represented by anything white, Judeo-Christian, straight, male or possesses any hint of traditional values or normalcy.

Given the vigorous (if craven and disgusting) virtue signaling being undertaken by so many individuals and organizations, this obviously remains a significant factor in how public policy is formed in America.
While some conservative commentators have pointed out that the radical fringe seeking to destabilize the U.S. and install a hard-line socialist regime is a distinct minority, it is worth mentioning that those who sought independence from Britain in 1776 were also a distinct minority – and they weren’t fortunate enough to essentially own half the members of the British parliament at that time.

Men In The US Are Beginning To Stand Against Tyranny – Following In The Footsteps Of Forefathers
I’ve recently written a couple of articles of men who are beginning to stand against tyranny in government and the lawlessness of the people in anti-American movements across the US. We’ve been seeing a steady increase, beginning with women and I believe it’s only going to grow, but be wary, the Beast is not going to like it and is going to try and use its force to silence these people. We must not just stand behind them, but stand with them! Let’s this be a message of hope and encouragement as we remember what our forefathers did in standing against tyranny and what we must do to the glory of God and for the advancement of His kingdom.
