According to official reports , there are more than 900 confirmed cases of coronavirus around the world .

Most of the suspected cases have returned negative results for coronavirus .
As of the publication of this post , there are confirmed cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Nepal , Thailand , Singapore , Vietnam , Macau , and the United States .

The number of people under quarantine raises a number of questions .
I suspect the numbers we have been provided are inaccurate for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away from Chinese hospitals .
It ’ s being reported that many people with potential coronavirus symptoms are being turned away from hospitals in China because there are no beds .
Due to censorship and a brutal Communist regime , most of the less-than-flattering information is being shared anonymously .

Getting prepped for the possibility of a deadly pandemic seems to be a wise course of action , given the dramatic response by China .
And it begs the question : What does China know that they ’ re not telling the rest of us ?

The Numbers for the Wuhan Coronavirus Outbreak Just Don’t Add Up
When researching the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus, things feel a little bit “off” to me. Let’s look at some numbers that just don’t add up.
900 confirmed cases, 26 dead
According to official reports, there are more than 900 confirmed cases of coronavirus around the world. Of those confirmed cases, 26 people have died.
As of Friday, more than 900 people have been sickened and 26 have died since the start of the month, according to an NBC News analysis of data collected from China’s National Health Commission, province and city health departments, China Central Television, and the People’s Daily. China Central Television is a government-run station and People’s Daily is Communist Party-run. (source)
Today it was reported that a healthy 36-year-old man was among the dead. Up until this point, the deaths had all been people between 48-89 with pre-existing health conditions “including cirrhosis, diabetes, high blood pressure or coronary heart disease, China’s National Health Commission said.”
He had no chronic diseases or other existing health conditions, and had been treated with anti-virus medication and antibiotics since being admitted to a hospital on Jan. 9. (source)
There are numerous suspected cases around the world, and people are being tested across the US and other countries to see if they have the coronavirus. When you’re reading articles, be sure to watch for confirmed cases – not suspected ones. Most of the suspected cases have returned negative results for coronavirus.
As of the publication of this post, there are confirmed cases in China, South Korea, Japan, Nepal, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Macau, and the United States. Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US have people awaiting test results for suspected coronavirus.
35 million people are now under quarantine.
Yesterday, we reported that 20 million people were under quarantine in China, but today that number has expanded dramatically to 35 million people.
As the cases of coronavirus exposure increases, officials in 10 cities in China’s central Hubei province have suspended public transportation. Bus service has stopped in the cities of Chibi, Xiantao, Zhijiang, Qianjiang, Xianning, Huangshi and Enshi, according to the Reuters news agency. Officials have also closed public venues in Zhijiang city, excluding hospitals, supermarkets, farmers’ markets, gas stations and drug stores. (source)
The number of people under quarantine raises a number of questions. I suspect the numbers we have been provided are inaccurate for a few reasons.
People are being turned away from Chinese hospitals.
It’s being reported that many people with potential coronavirus symptoms are being turned away from hospitals in China because there are no beds. Due to censorship and a brutal Communist regime, most of the less-than-flattering information is being shared anonymously.
This alarming report appeared on CBS:
A resident in Wuhan, the quarantined metropolis at the heart of the fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak, told CBS News Friday that he waited overnight at one of the city’s overwhelmed hospitals to get treated for the illness but couldn’t access a doctor. The man asked not to be identified as Chinese authorities struggle to show they’re in control of the outbreak, which has now killed 26 people in China and infected more than 800. He said he was diagnosed with the virus Thursday at the Red Cross Hospital in Wuhan, and that he has passed it to his mother. He waited from Thursday night into Friday morning at the hospital for an injection he was told he needed to treat the illness, but never managed to see a doctor to have it administered. The man said he saw patients at the rammed hospital on Thursday falling to the ground “one after another,” but there was no room for more patients to be admitted. Videos posted to social media have shown patients laying on the floor in Wuhan hospitals, some crying out for help. One, which was removed from China’s popular Twitter-like platform Weibo, purportedly showed dead bodies covered with sheets on the floor near other hospital patients. (source)
The story above is not the only one out of China that casts doubt on the official numbers.
The doctor told BBC News that scores of citizens had lined up at Wuhan hospitals in panic. “The hospitals have been flooding with patients, there are thousands, I haven’t seen so many before,” the doctor said. “I am scared because this is a new virus and the figures are alarming.” The doctor told the BBC that many people had to wait for hours before they could see a doctor and that little information was available to the public because of the novelty of the disease. The doctor added that the typical incubation period of the virus was about seven days, meaning people could pass along the illness without showing symptoms… …”It is spread through human-to-human transmission and there are also medical-staff infections,” the doctor told the BBC. “We were told two days ago not to go to work at the hospital, because of the risk of the virus spreading,” the doctor added. (source)
And not everyone is getting tested, either.
Mimi Lau, a reporter for the Post, said there had been a shortage of quick test kits for the coronavirus, which is apparently delaying diagnoses. She added that patients at Wuhan hospitals likened getting a hold of the test kits to “winning lottery tickets.” (source)
Here’s a video of the scene in a Wuhan hospital. Patients are being transported in bubbles. Also, note the level of the Personal Protection Equipment being worn by hospital staff.
If these reports are accurate, then the numbers we’ve been given are absolutely not accurate. If there are people collapsing in hallways who are not being treated or diagnosed, then it stands to reason that they’re not going to be included in the official numbers of how many people are sick with the coronavirus.
Things are so worrisome that they’re building a hospital specifically for coronavirus in just 6 days in Wuhan.
“To address the insufficiency of existing medical resources,” Wuhan is constructing a hospital modeled after the Xiaotangshan SARS hospital in Beijing, Wuhan authorities said in a Friday notice. The facility will be a prefabricated structure on a 25,000- square-meter (270,000-square-foot) lot, slated for completion Feb. 3. (source)
The situation at the hospitals is so dire that Beijing has called in the military to help.
The economic ramifications for China
The economic ramifications of this broad quarantine will be vast for China. Think about the money being lost when you lockdown 35 million people during the biggest holiday and tourist season of the year. Here are some of the things being shut down.
Shanghai Disneyland has closed its doors indefinitely. (source)
The state-run Beijing News said the capital had canceled events including two well-known lunar new year temple fairs. (source)
The Forbidden City, the palace complex in Beijing that is now a museum, announced it will close indefinitely on Saturday. (source)
Schools in Hubei province, due to begin the spring semester after the holiday, will not open their doors as planned but will wait for further guidance from health authorities. And the Education Ministry instructed universities around China to delay their opening dates if necessary. (source)
Production companies have postponed the release of seven blockbuster films that were to be released over the holiday, prompting Chinese cinema companies to close the country’s 70,000 movie theaters. (source)
All ride-hailing services in Wuhan were cut off from midday Friday in attempt to stop transmission of the virus, and only half of taxis are allowed on the road every day, alternating between tags ending in odd and even numbers. (source)
China Southern, the country’s biggest airline, had already canceled all flights in and out of Wuhan airport on Thursday. The other two main carriers, Air China and China Eastern, said they would cancel all Wuhan flights from Friday to at least Feb. 8, (source)
Can you imagine the economic repercussions of such a shut-down? Particularly during what is arguably the biggest holiday of the year in China? Zero Hedge reports:
“Drastic steps, such as city-wide quarantine measures, can be a double-edged sword when it comes to market impact,” ING senior rates strategist Antoine Bouvet wrote in morning note. “On the one hand they signal the authorities are taking the problem seriously and help containment, on the other hand, they help paint a dramatic picture to investors unfamiliar with dealing with this sort of risk.” (source)
The numbers just don’t add up.
When I look at the official numbers, I have questions.
35 million people are being restricted and/or quarantined.
Approximately 900 people are officially sick and 26 people are officially dead from the Wujan coronavirus.
That is an awful lot of people being quarantined and restricted for something with such a low death toll, don’t you think?
That’s a lot of people being quarantined for an illness that has been diagnosed in fewer than a thousand people, isn’t it?
This is costing China a ton of money in lost tourism revenue, entertainment revenue, and travel revenue, isn’t it?
Millions of people are out of work during this shutdown – those who work at tourist destinations, those in the transportation industry, those who can’t get to work.
This is a costly, extensive quarantine for fewer than a thousand sick people. Getting prepped for the possibility of a deadly pandemic seems to be a wise course of action, given the dramatic response by China.
And it begs the question:
What does China know that they’re not telling the rest of us?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-24--Hundreds Who Survived Abortion Represent Millions Who Didn’t

The anniversary of the infamous Supreme Court abortion decision , Roe v. Wade , is upon us again .
And here we are , 61 million abortions later .
Some of the most powerful spokespersons against Roe are those who survived an attempted abortion .
At least 300 Americans alive today are in that category .
Here we will highlight three such survivors .
A couple of months ago , I heard a dramatic talk from Gianna Jessen of Tennessee .
Born in 1977 , Gianna survived a saline abortion , and her story has been told in a Focus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Aborted , and Lived to Tell About It.
” Gianna has even run two marathons , despite cerebral palsy caused by the abortion attempt .
It took her several hours longer than the average runner to complete the 26.2 miles .
But she made it .
Twice .
Some say she lacks a “ quality of life , ” but she asks ( as I recall ) , “ Who are you to judge my ‘ quality of life ’ ?
” Thanks to the faithfulness of the Lord , she has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” thank you very much .
Another survivor is Melissa Ohden of Missouri .
I had the privilege to interview her for Christian TV recently .
As a child , she knew she had been adopted .
But not until she was 14 did she learn the back story .
Melissa told me , “ I am 42 years old ; and it was in 1977 that my birth mother , as a college student , actually had a saline infusion abortion forced upon her , against her will .
… So that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toxic salt solution into the amniotic fluid surrounding me in the womb .
And the intent of that toxic salt solution was to poison and scald me to death .
So typically the procedure lasted about 72 hours .
The child would soak in that toxic salt solution , their life would be ended by it when it was successful ; and they would induce labor believing that that deceased child would be expelled from the womb.
” In reviewing her medical records , Melissa discovered she had soaked for five days , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t die .
“ But instead of being delivered as a successful abortion , I was accidentally born alive.
” And then a compassionate nurse was able to rush her to a hospital to help her recover and eventually be adopted .
When you meet Melissa , you would have no idea any of this had happened to her .
Today , she is one of the leading networkers of abortion survivors .
The third abortion survivor I met recently is Claire Culwell of Texas .
As a child she had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about a decade ago , she was thrilled to finally get to meet – and to thank in person – the mother who gave birth to her and had given her up for adoption .
But little did she know the back story about her birth mother .
When her birth mother was 13 , she got pregnant .
Her mother beat her and called her “ worthless ” and “ horrible.
” Then she brought her to an abortion clinic .
The 13-year-old felt terrible for having had her baby aborted .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that somehow she was still pregnant .
It turns out that the abortionist had missed the fact that she was carrying twins .
By the time they realized this , Claire ’ s mother was too far along to have another abortion .
Claire told me , “ I was delivered at 30 weeks , and I weighed 3 lbs .
2 oz.
, I was 10 weeks premature , and I had a dislocated hip , club feet .
My visible signs are my everyday reminder of being a twin .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body.
” Amazingly , there are people who use various platforms , including social media , to somehow deny the validity of Claire ’ s story .
And that is true of other abortion survivors as well .
Claire observes , “ There are absolutely people opposing what we do because my presence , and people like me who have survived an abortion – our presence – shuts down their entire argument because they are saying that we are not human ; and they are saying we are imaginary and that this doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not taking the life of a child.
” As another anniversary of Roe comes and goes , it is good to remember the many victims of abortion … beginning with the tens of millions of unborn babies killed .
Also , millions of would-be mothers have been victimized .
Studies show that more than half of them feel forced to abort .
And at least 300 abortion survivors amongst us also bear witness to the inhumanity of abortion .
And of those 300 , the three I spoke with are so grateful to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite their rocky start in life .
As Melissa puts it , “ I owe my life to Jesus , that ’ s the only reason why I am alive .
”

Some say she lacks a “quality of life,” but she asks (as I recall), “Who are you to judge my ‘quality of life’?” Thanks to the faithfulness of the Lord, she has a high “quality of life,” thank you very much.
Another survivor is Melissa Ohden of Missouri. I had the privilege to interview her for Christian TV recently. As a child, she knew she had been adopted. But not until she was 14 did she learn the back story.
Melissa told me, “I am 42 years old; and it was in 1977 that my birth mother, as a college student, actually had a saline infusion abortion forced upon her, against her will. … So that type of procedure actually involved injecting a toxic salt solution into the amniotic fluid surrounding me in the womb.

When you meet Melissa, you would have no idea any of this had happened to her. Today, she is one of the leading networkers of abortion survivors.

Amazingly, there are people who use various platforms, including social media, to somehow deny the validity of Claire’s story. And that is true of other abortion survivors as well.
Claire observes, “There are absolutely people opposing what we do because my presence, and people like me who have survived an abortion – our presence – shuts down their entire argument because they are saying that we are not human; and they are saying we are imaginary and that this doesn’t happen, and abortion is not taking the life of a child.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-24--New York State Forces Citizens To Pay For “Stargazing Permit” To View Night Sky In Public Parks

New York — In the Land of the Free , if you do not pay the State in the form of a permit before you attempt to sell a product or service to a willing customer , you can and will be extorted , kidnapped and caged , with extreme prejudice .
While many folks stand behind permits for selling , one permit in New York that has nothing to do with commerce , has garnered the scrutiny of the Free thought Project .
If citizens of the state wish to look up at the sky and view the stars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public parks , they will first have to obtain a “ Stargazing permit.
” Seriously .
Light pollution across the state of New York makes it hard for folks in highly populated areas to view the night sky .
So , people who wish to gaze upon the stars at night have to drive many miles away to remote areas .
Many of these remote areas are located in taxpayer-funded state parks .
In their efforts to squeeze every dime they can from the tax farm , bureaucrats in New York have devised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to use public parks to gaze upon the night sky .
This extortion comes in the form of a $ 35.00 “ Stargazing Permit.
” If you are from out of state and wish to gaze upon the night sky from one of these locations that fee jumps to $ 60 .
If you think that you will do anything else besides look at the night sky with this permit , think again .
Within the regulations , bureaucrats explicitly point out that the “ Permit allows after sunset parking for stargazing only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” But that ’ s not all , if you want to bring your metal detector to any of these parks , there ’ s a permit for that too—it ’ s $ 40 to passively scan the ground in search of lost metal .
Seems legit .
When conducting a news search on Google for a stargazing permit , we couldn ’ t find any articles calling out this ridiculous assault on liberty , so we decided to take up that task ourselves .
We did find a discussion on Twitter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even chimed in .
We should also point out the obvious limits this places on underprivileged residents who may have to choose between $ 35 in groceries versus paying the state to look up at the stars in a public park .
While $ 35 may not seem like that much to some folks , to others it ’ s the difference between sleeping with the heat on or freezing .
It also serves to drastically limit the imagination and discovery of those who are unable to pay for the permit by disallowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Others are defending the permit in the thread , claiming that it allows people to enter the “ closed parks ” after hours .
But they are clearly missing the point .
If you can enter the park with a permit , then it ’ s not “ closed ” at all .
It ’ s opened to anyone willing to be extorted or who can afford it .
Those who are unable to pay the government or choose not to do so for the exact same activity will be arrested and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ irony and blatant statist hypocrisy .
If you want to go after dark to look at stars on state land that you paid for through your tax dollars , you have to pay the government more money for a permit .
However , if the government wants to take the most sacred land in the state and put a telescope on it to look at the stars , this is fine and dandy .
If you try to protest the government ’ s construction of star gazing equipment on your sacred land , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caged .
Case in point : Mauna Kea ’ s summit is the most sacred of all the mountains in Hawaii to many of the indigenous people .
In July , when those people showed up to protest the desecration of their land with the Thirty-Meter Telescope , dozens were arrested .
“ These lands were taken from us , so we have rights to them , ” Kahoʻokahi Kanuha , an organizer from the Hawaiʻi Unity and Liberation Institute ( Huli ) , a group that opposes construction on Mauna Kea says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them .
We have a genealogical connection to them.
” Well , Kanuha , you didn ’ t have the right permit to claim ownership of the land that was stolen from your people in 1893 , therefore , you are sh*t out of luck .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-24--Bernie Sanders & the True Nature of the State

I mostly try to avoid the counterproductive partisan nonsense between the two sides of the one-sided political system .
Occasionally , however , extreme polarization and quibbling over minor issues by antagonistic factions—made hysterical by the echo chamber of political inanities and mental illness—results in revealing what one side would do to the other if it held the rein of state and exercised its prerogative of violence .

This is what happened to Mao ’ s Gang of Four after the murderous “ reforms ” in China failed .
The state invariably requires patsies and false flag events to deflect blame and distract the masses of ill-informed and propagandized citizens from real problems and real solutions .

I mostly try to avoid the counterproductive partisan nonsense between the two sides of the one-sided political system.
Occasionally, however, extreme polarization and quibbling over minor issues by antagonistic factions—made hysterical by the echo chamber of political inanities and mental illness—results in revealing what one side would do to the other if it held the rein of state and exercised its prerogative of violence.
Martin Weissgerber, a top-level Bernie Sanders organizer, was secretly videotaped by Project Veritas. He advocates rounding up his political opponents in throwing them in “re-education” gulags. As for millionaires, he believes their heads should be liberated from their bodies.

The commie troikas did not allow for the presumption of innocence or legal representation of the accused.

That’s what the kid Weissgerber dreams of for America—a sweeping cultural revolution not much different than the one Mao organized in China, resulting in the murder of millions. It is estimated during Mao’s rule around 80 million people were murdered directly and indirectly by the state. Mao made Hitler and Stalin look like rank amateurs in the practice of mass-murdering political opponents while centralizing and consolidating power.
It would be interesting to get Weissgerber’s take on the Khmer Rouge, the Communist Party of Kampuchea (Cambodia). His ideology is similar to the Khmer Rouge with mention of guillotines and forced re-education. The Khmer Rouge’s Maha Lout Ploh—a repeat of Mao’s cultural revolution and (sic) Great Leap Forward—ultimately resulted in the organized murder of more than three million people.
This overgrown child living the violent dream of a now geriatric Weather Underground psychopath was undoubtedly trained to hate and advocate murder by “cultural Marxist” professors and instructors “teaching” at “public” (state-run and taxpayer-financed) institutions.

This will result in furious retaliation and a further widening of the dangerous polarity between political factions.
This division, polarity, and simmering hate between political groups will ultimately result in an all-out war in America—probably between now and the election, and definitely after if Trump is voted back into office.
I have no idea how all of this will play out. I know, however, looking back at history, that people advocating and practicing violence against their opponents on behalf of the state—and this is precisely what Weissgerber is advocating in turn if the Bernie vanguard makes it to the Oval Office—are often the first to be singled out, accused, tortured, imprisoned, and executed as “counter-revolutionary” by the new government. This is what happened to Mao’s Gang of Four after the murderous “reforms” in China failed.
The state invariably requires patsies and false flag events to deflect blame and distract the masses of ill-informed and propagandized citizens from real problems and real solutions.

Recent stories springing to light about Joe Biden’s brothers are starting to make us forget about Hunter, at least temporarily.
James Biden couldn’t be outdone by his younger brother and drug addict nephew could he?
$1.5 Billion contracts are nothing to sneeze at, even for a Biden.
Here’s the latest from Breitbart:
A firm employing James Biden, the younger brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, received more than $1.5 billion in government-backed contracts during the Obama administration.
The dovetailing of James Biden’s professional life with his brother’s political influence is extensively detailed in Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite—a new book by Peter Schweizer, senior contributor at Breitbart News and president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI).
In 2010, shortly after a disastrous attempt at running a hedge fund with his nephew Hunter, James Biden entered the construction and international development industry. Even though he lacked background in either, James secured a position as executive vice president at the newly formed HillStone International, LLC. The firm, which was a subsidiary of the long struggling Hill International, was unique for a multitude of reasons.
“The president of HillStone International was Kevin Justice, who grew up in Delaware and was a longtime Biden family friend,” Schweizer writes in his book. “He was friends with lots of Bidens, especially Joe’s sons Hunter and Beau.”
Under Justice’s leadership, the company was setting out to pursue technology and construction projects in the Middle East. Of particular interest to the company were the millions being given to government contractors for the rebuilding of war-torn Iraq—an endeavor Joe Biden was tasked to oversee by President Barack Obama.
It was likely with such projects in mind that Justice headed to the White House in November 2010. During the visit, the HillStone executive met with Michele Smith, a top aide to then-Vice President Joe Biden. Smith, a fellow Delaware native, was serving as the vice president’s liaison to “global government officials and business executives.”
Although the confines of that meeting have not been made public, the subsequent events seem to imply it was beneficial for both HillStone and the Bidens.
“Less than three weeks later, HillStone announced that the vice president’s brother James would be joining the firm as executive vice president,” Schweizer notes.
When announcing the hire, the company lauded James’s professional career as much as it did his political ties.
“At the age of 22, [James] Biden was the finance chairman of his then 29-year-old brother’s bid for a U.S. Senate seat in Delaware and successfully enlisted the support of national unions, political leaders and financiers across the country,” James’s biography read on the firm’s website.
Six months after James joined HillStone, the firm received a contract to build more than 100,000 homes in Iraq. The deal, which was estimated to be worth upwards of $1.5 billion, was part of a larger $35 billion contract awarded to a South Korean company. At the time it went public, both HillStone and the Obama White House denied Joe Biden had played any role.

Nope.
It’s a family affair.
I think the above articles may give us a clue to the burning question we all want answered…

They hustle in a criminal way I mean.

Texas Church Hero, Jack Wilson, On Bloomberg: ‘If We Did Things His Way, Many More Would Be Dead’
How many people would have died in that Texas Church if it were not for Jack Wilson?
Michael Bloomberg is a bona fide gun grabber.
He can’t hide it and no longer tries.
Some of his arguments cross the line of insanity and go the route of crazy.
Typical liberal.
Fox News reports that Jack Wilson took the time to rebut some of Bloomberg’s statements.
Had there been no average U.S. citizens with guns — like 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg advocates for — the “carnage” of the shooting inside the West Freeway Church of Christ on December 29 would have been “significantly greater,” Texas church shooting hero Jack Wilson said Wednesday.
Appearing on “Fox & Friends” in his first national television interview, Wilson said that even if he and other members of the church had operated by Bloomberg’s “standards or wishes,” the shooter still had seven live rounds in his gun and three more in his pocket discovered after he shot and killed two men.
“Even though the White Settlement police department did arrive in roughly two minutes from the time the first call went it, by that time…the carnage would have been much, much worse,” he said.
Wilson said that the church security team was aware of the shooter when he entered the building wearing a disguise, but “did not anticipate the events that would unfold thereafter.”
According to Wilson, the shooter took Communion before producing his shotgun. He then opened fire and shot Richard White and Anton “Tony” Wallace at point-blank range. From the time the gunman drew his weapon until he was down and it was over, six seconds had passed.
More at Fox…
#####
Good Guys with Guns seldom make National News.
Citizens with guns stop many crimes without ever firing a shot.
Those numbers don’t show up in the statistics.
There is a reason that so many mass shootings happen in gun free zones.
When they don’t, people like Jack Wilson tend to get involved.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-25--He Started A Church On The Doorstep Of Planned Parenthood & The Response Has Been Incredible!

Sometimes , you just run across stories where the Church is doing exactly what it ’ s supposed to be doing and it excites you to see the power of it .
Pastor Ken Peters from a small church in Spokane , Washington was spurred on by a visiting preacher and given encouragement by the above verse that activated him and many others to start a church right on the doorstep of Planned Parenthood , and the turnout has been nothing short of incredible .
“ The Church at Planned Parenthood ” ( TCAPP ) , a monthly gathering of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , boldly preach the Gospel message , and to spend time in corporate prayer repenting for this nation and the church ’ s role in the abortion holocaust…all while standing together outside a Planned Parenthood clinic , according to My Faith Votes .
In an interview with My Faith Votes ’ Media Director Megan West , Peters said : So Rev .
Rusty Thomas ( Operation Save America ) miraculously came to our church to stir us up about the issues of life and the murder of the unborn that ’ s going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was preaching on when Jesus said : “ I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
” And I could tell this sermon was to activate , to get the church doing something .
So he says , if you have any worship leaders , have them go out to Planned Parenthood with a guitar and just start worshipping .
If you have any intercessors , just get them out there praying .
If you have any preachers , get them out there and just preach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
That sounds like church : preaching , worship , and prayer .
I really felt like the Lord spoke to me and said : “ don ’ t you dare plant another regular church until your next church campus is the church at Planned Parenthood , an outdoor church.
” I got up after the sermon , all fired up , and I announced to the congregation that our next church is going to be a church at Planned Parenthood !
According to Peters , his wife looked at him like he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the simple yet profound idea .
Peters said that the church wanted to see if he would follow through with his word and start meeting at Planned Parenthood .
In October 2018 , the first church service took place .
I was expecting my wife and maybe twenty people , maybe a couple of elders and deacons from the church because they felt obligated .
But one hundred and seventy-five people came for the first service !
When you ’ re expecting twenty and a hundred and seventy-five people show up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ It ’ s a Wonderful Life , ” where people just keep coming in and giving and giving .
I literally couldn ’ t believe we were at Planned Parenthood and people kept coming from every direction .
The church was so gracious and precious and they just followed their crazy leader and did something in response .
Additionally , this is not your typical Church meeting either .
It ’ s outdoors and there are plenty of things to distract people .
Pastor Peters describes the atmosphere : It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spiritual warfare when you first get there .
When it gets close to the time to start , people are coming in from everywhere because you have to park in the surrounding neighborhoods and walk in because Planned Parenthood is not going to let you park in their parking lot , they don ’ t like you being there .
But it ’ s what the church should look like , people coming in from every direction and converging on this one spot right by Planned Parenthood .
When you show up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cars with lights flashing .
There have been barricades put up on both sides because we ’ ve attracted a number of protestors , primarily from the LGBTQ community .
They are very angry folks so the police separate them with barricades .
They are on one side of the street and we ’ re on the other .
There are people screaming at you .
It ’ s like no other church service you ’ ve been to in your life .
Instead of being there to protest , Peters says that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Lord .
“ Our messaging is very important to us , ” he said .
“ We are very strong on the fact that we are not a protest .
We are simply having church .
We do not engage with the protestors , we ’ re not there to speak with them .
We are there to call upon the Lord .
It ’ s spiritual warfare , not warfare of the flesh.
” He added , “ Our motto is ‘ this is how we fight our battles , ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people not to bring signs .
We don ’ t want to look like a protest .
The secular press tries to label us a protest but we are not a protest .
We are having church , we ’ re a church plant , planted at the gates of hell , believing that the gates of hell will not prevail.
” But what about the message ?
Are there just “ pro-life ” messages when the people gather ?
It ’ s naturally going to be more focused on the life issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their building .
We don ’ t tell the preachers what to preach .
If they want to preach the Gospel , oftentimes that ’ s just what they do .
The whole idea is to do what we do on a Sunday morning .
Let ’ s take what we ’ re good at the assembly of the saints and let ’ s take it outside and have outdoor church right there at a Planned Parenthood .
You don ’ t need to say why .
A picture is worth a thousand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worshipping God .
You don ’ t need to say one thing about life , but everyone knows why you are there .
From this one assembly , other locations are now replicating the model that Pastor Peters has established .
My vision is that the bushel , or the basket depending on what bible verse you are reading , is taken off the church .
We ’ re sitting in our safe spaces under our roofs , but Jesus said you are the light of the world , a city on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bushel or let your light shine before men that they might see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven .
So my vision is that the bushel would be taken off the church of Jesus Christ and the church would be worshipping outdoors all across the land in front of Planned Parenthood or close to any abortion mill because Jesus loves kids and said whoever receives a child in my name receives me .
Almost all revival has happened outdoors .
So my ultimate goal is to see revival and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes to the church ’ s silence on abortion , as well as other issues in society , Peters said , “ I think it ’ s become a political issue and it ’ s become a political football .
Churches want to reach everyone .
But they ’ ve let a good motive destroy their prophetic voice .
And in an attempt to reach people , they ’ ve stayed away from issues that might chase people away .
Instead of realizing that Christ himself is the truth and we don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth because that is Christ himself .
They ’ ve stayed away from these issues because it ’ s controversial , they ’ ve become Republican or Democrat issues.
” “ What we have to do is ignore the fact that it has become a political football because these are biblical issues , ” he added .
“ John the Baptist leapt for joy in the womb of Elisabeth when Jesus was in the womb of Mary and came into the room .
There ’ s activity in the womb itself .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are biblical issues .
We ’ ve been given this great country , it ’ s “ we the people , ” so we have to be stewards of this nation as well .
We need to be a prophetic voice in the wilderness .
If people want Jesus , they ’ re going to want the truth too .
I think we can speak truth boldly and not hatefully .
The Devil , he ’ s a deceiver , and he has the churched duped into silence and he likes it that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the biggest cost to the church ?
“ The biggest cost has been the slander of our character , ” he said .
“ A year ago I was just a pastor with a cute family and cute church and a cute Christian school .
Now I found out in the last year that even though I haven ’ t changed anything of my beliefs , or my family or anything , I ’ m now labeled a hateful , bigot , extremist that is a danger to society .
The left is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can to make you an extremist .
My name is now mentioned multiple times at city council meetings as dangerous and hateful .
The LGBTQ community and drag queen folk in Spokane have come to our home church and stood outside our doors protesting , screaming at our church people as they come and go .
One time I had to have our security team help get me to my car .
My daughter has had nightmares because people are holding up hangers outside our car windows .
So that ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bullies with a fear of a destroyed reputation .
So you ’ ve got to be ready for that.
” And what has been the fruit of his endeavors ?
“ The good part of it is I ’ m talking with My Faith Votes right now , ” he told My Faith Votes .
“ I wasn ’ t doing that two years ago !
I ’ ve always had a passion for our nation and revival in the church .
So the Lord has kind of thrust me out and given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want when you ’ re a preacher and in a Bible college .
You want the Lord to use you mightily , you want to make a difference .
In the last year and a half , all this wasn ’ t planned , I never dreamed this would happen .
I thought twenty people were going to show up at the first outdoor church service but then you end up now with six hundred and fifty people coming and on the front page of the newspaper !
The Lord just gives you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dreamed of and that is to make a difference .
That ’ s worth whatever opposition I go through .
I never thought me making a difference would be starting a church at Planned Parenthood , but the Lord works in mysterious ways .
He ’ s given me a voice , a prophetic voice in this nation through the craziest yet simplest of ideas .
We ’ ve heard many , many stories of the blessing of The Church at Planned Parenthood.
” Well , amen , Pastor Peters and I hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soon to tell his story and encourage the Church to follow in his footsteps just as he is following the Lord Jesus !

“…and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” -Matthew 16:18
Sometimes, you just run across stories where the Church is doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing and it excites you to see the power of it.

“The Church at Planned Parenthood” (TCAPP), a monthly gathering of Christians from various churches to worship God, boldly preach the Gospel message, and to spend time in corporate prayer repenting for this nation and the church’s role in the abortion holocaust…all while standing together outside a Planned Parenthood clinic, according to My Faith Votes.
In an interview with My Faith Votes’ Media Director Megan West, Peters said:
So Rev. Rusty Thomas (Operation Save America) miraculously came to our church to stir us up about the issues of life and the murder of the unborn that’s going on in our nation. And he was preaching on when Jesus said: “I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” And I could tell this sermon was to activate, to get the church doing something.

But it’s what the church should look like, people coming in from every direction and converging on this one spot right by Planned Parenthood. When you show up, the police are there with 5-8 police cars with lights flashing. There have been barricades put up on both sides because we’ve attracted a number of protestors, primarily from the LGBTQ community. They are very angry folks so the police separate them with barricades. They are on one side of the street and we’re on the other. There are people screaming at you. It’s like no other church service you’ve been to in your life.
Instead of being there to protest, Peters says that they are there to simply call upon the Lord.
“Our messaging is very important to us,” he said. “We are very strong on the fact that we are not a protest. We are simply having church. We do not engage with the protestors, we’re not there to speak with them. We are there to call upon the Lord. It’s spiritual warfare, not warfare of the flesh.”
He added, “Our motto is ‘this is how we fight our battles,’ like the song. So we ask people not to bring signs. We don’t want to look like a protest. The secular press tries to label us a protest but we are not a protest. We are having church, we’re a church plant, planted at the gates of hell, believing that the gates of hell will not prevail.”
But what about the message? Are there just “pro-life” messages when the people gather?
It’s naturally going to be more focused on the life issue because you’re right next to their building. We don’t tell the preachers what to preach. If they want to preach the Gospel, oftentimes that’s just what they do. The whole idea is to do what we do on a Sunday morning. Let’s take what we’re good at the assembly of the saints and let’s take it outside and have outdoor church right there at a Planned Parenthood. You don’t need to say why. A picture is worth a thousand words when you have Christians out there worshipping God. You don’t need to say one thing about life, but everyone knows why you are there.
From this one assembly, other locations are now replicating the model that Pastor Peters has established.
My vision is that the bushel, or the basket depending on what bible verse you are reading, is taken off the church. We’re sitting in our safe spaces under our roofs, but Jesus said you are the light of the world, a city on a hill. Either keep your light under a bushel or let your light shine before men that they might see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. So my vision is that the bushel would be taken off the church of Jesus Christ and the church would be worshipping outdoors all across the land in front of Planned Parenthood or close to any abortion mill because Jesus loves kids and said whoever receives a child in my name receives me. Almost all revival has happened outdoors. So my ultimate goal is to see revival and see the church activate.
When it comes to the church’s silence on abortion, as well as other issues in society, Peters said, “I think it’s become a political issue and it’s become a political football. Churches want to reach everyone. But they’ve let a good motive destroy their prophetic voice. And in an attempt to reach people, they’ve stayed away from issues that might chase people away. Instead of realizing that Christ himself is the truth and we don’t need to be afraid of the truth because that is Christ himself. They’ve stayed away from these issues because it’s controversial, they’ve become Republican or Democrat issues.”
That’s exactly right!
“What we have to do is ignore the fact that it has become a political football because these are biblical issues,” he added. “John the Baptist leapt for joy in the womb of Elisabeth when Jesus was in the womb of Mary and came into the room. There’s activity in the womb itself. We as the church need to recognize these are biblical issues. We’ve been given this great country, it’s “we the people,” so we have to be stewards of this nation as well. We need to be a prophetic voice in the wilderness. If people want Jesus, they’re going to want the truth too. I think we can speak truth boldly and not hatefully. The Devil, he’s a deceiver, and he has the churched duped into silence and he likes it that way.”
So, what has been the biggest cost to the church?
“The biggest cost has been the slander of our character,” he said. “A year ago I was just a pastor with a cute family and cute church and a cute Christian school. Now I found out in the last year that even though I haven’t changed anything of my beliefs, or my family or anything, I’m now labeled a hateful, bigot, extremist that is a danger to society. The left is going to try to do everything they can to make you an extremist. My name is now mentioned multiple times at city council meetings as dangerous and hateful. The LGBTQ community and drag queen folk in Spokane have come to our home church and stood outside our doors protesting, screaming at our church people as they come and go. One time I had to have our security team help get me to my car. My daughter has had nightmares because people are holding up hangers outside our car windows. So that’s the cost, your reputation. The left bullies with a fear of a destroyed reputation. So you’ve got to be ready for that.”
And what has been the fruit of his endeavors?
“The good part of it is I’m talking with My Faith Votes right now,” he told My Faith Votes. “I wasn’t doing that two years ago! I’ve always had a passion for our nation and revival in the church. So the Lord has kind of thrust me out and given me a voice which is what you want when you’re a preacher and in a Bible college. You want the Lord to use you mightily, you want to make a difference. In the last year and a half, all this wasn’t planned, I never dreamed this would happen. I thought twenty people were going to show up at the first outdoor church service but then you end up now with six hundred and fifty people coming and on the front page of the newspaper! The Lord just gives you an opportunity to do something you never dreamed of and that is to make a difference. That’s worth whatever opposition I go through. I never thought me making a difference would be starting a church at Planned Parenthood, but the Lord works in mysterious ways. He’s given me a voice, a prophetic voice in this nation through the craziest yet simplest of ideas. We’ve heard many, many stories of the blessing of The Church at Planned Parenthood.”
Well, amen, Pastor Peters and I hope to have him on the radio very soon to tell his story and encourage the Church to follow in his footsteps just as he is following the Lord Jesus!

Eagle Point, OR — In October of 2018, a family was devastated and heartbroken after learning that the officers who took their son’s life would not be charged and were ruled justified in his killing—over improperly crossing the street. Matthew Graves, 33, was shot in the back twice by police last month after they followed him into a Carl’s Jr. bathroom because they suspected him of jaywalking. Now, after the cops who murdered him got off Scot free, the taxpayers are being held liable to the tune of $4.5 million.
As FOX 26 reports, attorneys acting on behalf of Graves said his civil rights were violated and the shooting was unjust. They argued Graves was “doggedly pursued” by Officer Daniel Cardenas after he was seen jaywalking—something that’s a violation, not a case for arrest. When Cardenas drew his gun on Graves and “trapped” him in the Carl’s Junior restroom because he suspected he might be guilty of something, attorneys say it was the equivalent of an arrest.
According to attorneys Kelly L. Anderson and David Linthorst, the “arrest” of Graves on mere suspicion alone is not grounds to detain him. “After making an unlawful arrest,” attorneys said, “Cardenas compounded the problem by using excessive force. In doing so, Cardenas himself created the very crisis for which he later claimed to have needed to use deadly force.”
“As a result of this settlement, Matthew’s parents hope that police officers throughout the United States will become better trained in how to interact with the mentally ill and to know how to use de-escalation techniques,” attorneys said. “They hope the lawsuit will help prevent another tragedy like Matthew’s death.”
Graves’ family is now donating much of the money in their son’s name to local organizations that help the homeless.
As TFTP reported, prior to his interaction with police, Graves was unarmed, had harmed absolutely no one, had no warrants, and was simply walking to Carl’s Jr. to get a bite to eat. However, because he crossed the road in a manner not fit for the police state—otherwise known as jaywalking—Graves would be killed in cold blood by public servants and die on the floor of a fast food restaurant bathroom.
The incident happened on September 19, 2018 but the body camera footage wasn’t released until a month later. It shows Officer Daniel Cardenas, an Eagle Point officer for two years, follow Graves because he allegedly crossed the road outside of a crosswalk.
According to Eagle Point District Attorney Beth Heckert, officer Cardenas followed Graves to the fast-food restaurant because he intended to talk to Graves about the dangers of jaywalking. Instead of informing Graves of anything, however, Cardenas walked into the Carl’s Jr. and pulled his gun on the diagnosed schizophrenic causing him to panic.
Vickie Graves explained at the time that her son was “not on drugs and did not have a weapon” during the incident. She addressed his mental illness: “he talked to himself frequently as he was a schizophrenic. A functioning one.”
As TFTP has reported on numerous occasions, police reactions to schizophrenics often lead to their deaths as police only know how to yell and escalate violence, two things which are known triggers for the mentally ill.
As the disturbing video below shows, Cardenas was the instigator and Graves merely wanted to get a bite to eat. Graves was simply washing his hands when the officer barged into the bathroom with the gun drawn—over jaywalking.
Within seconds, Graves was in panic mode as Cardenas shot him with the taser for trying to exit the bathroom. Moments later, the two were on the ground as Officer Clarence “C.J.” Davis arrived to help Cardenas. As the two officers held him down, we hear “he has a gun,” before two shots ring out.
He had no such gun. After shooting Graves, the officers realize that fact. When Cardenas asked where the gun Davis mentioned earlier was, Davis said that the officer’s taser on the ground could’ve been what he saw.
For walking across the street, an unarmed and arguably innocent man was killed in a bathroom by public servants, and the system calls this justice—a tragedy indeed.
“I will miss you my dear boy. I see you everywhere I go,” Vickie Graves wrote in a heartbreaking Facebook post after her son’s death. “My heart cries for you. We will always love and miss you. We will find out the reason why you were killed. Our lives will never be the same.”

Making America Great Again Or Enriching America’s Enemies? Tens Of Millions Of Your Tax Dollars Go To Muslim Brotherhood & Hamas Linked Organizations
The president told you America would never be a socialist nation, and you actually believed him! Not only has President Donald Trump’s pen signed unconstitutional spending at every turn, much of which is welfare or alleged “safety net” spending, which is socialism, but his administration has given tens of millions of your tax dollars to Muslim organizations that are tied to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
While Islamic scholar Robert Spencer proclaims, “This is no doubt the work of swamp creatures, i.e., entrenched federal bureaucrats who are happy to defy the Trump’s administration’s agenda,” the reality is that Donald Trump is the one that signs the spending into law and if he doesn’t read and know what he is signing, how can anyone blame anyone else for it being sent to these people but the president?
After all, he has the power of the veto, according to our Constitution, and yes, if this were the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah, everyone who just got angry with me stating the above would agree with me. You know it’s true.
The news comes by way of The Clarion Project.
The U.S. government under the Trump administration has handed out tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to Islamist organizations, according to research by Sam Westrop at Middle East Forum (MEF).
As MEF noted, “between 2017 and 2018, the amount of taxpayers’ money given to organizations either influenced or controlled by Islamist activists more than tripled from $4 million to $13.5 million. Under the Obama administration, the amount given to Islamist-linked organizations averaged a mere $1.7 million each year.”
Most recently, in October 2019, the government awarded the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) with $100,000 in federal grant government money.
CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest-ever terror funding case in American history. The government officially ended all partnerships with the organization in 2009 because of CAIR’s connection to funding the Hamas terror group.
Yet, CAIR was recently the recipient of the $100,000 Department of Homeland Security grant as part of its DHS’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
In addition to monies given to CAIR, MEF found that the government gave:
$57,000 to the Muslim American Society (MAS). In 2008, federal prosecutors said that “MAS was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. Last year, children from an MAS school recited poetry about the killing of Jews
$100,000 to Dar al-Hijrah, an extremist mosque in Virginia. A 2002 Customs and Border Protection document stated that DAH is “operating as a front for Hamas operatives in U.S.” A December 2007 document said DAH “has been linked to numerous individuals linked to terrorism financing.” Al Qaeda leader Anwar Al-Awlaki was DAH’s imam from 2001 to 2002. Al-Awlaki’s sermons were attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers and Nidal Hassan, who later shot 13 soldiers to death in a jihadi attack at Fort Hood in 2009.
$41 million in federal grants to Islamist radicals since 2007 (not including grants given in the last few months)….
So, for all the rhetoric coming from this administration, no one is funding our enemies more than the Trump administration.
Additionally, the Trump administration is also funding Islamic terrorist propagandists The White Helmets in Syria to the tune of millions of your dollars, America.
How can Trump speak with a straight face about giving Iran millions of dollars while he funds the same ideology with millions of Americans’ money?
And the administration is doing it along with infringing on your God-given rights and the Constitution while you are bickering among yourselves as to who slammed who in the DC WWE match. When will you awaken from your slumber?
