Grammy-Winning Christian Musician Announces He’s an ‘Exvangelical’

DC Talk’s Kevin Max has admitted that he is an “exvangelical,” according to the Christian Post, and is working toward “progressing” and “deconstructing.” . . .

In responses to his initial tweet, Max said that he still believes in “the Universal Christ.”

“For all those people using my post as plug & play for your own hot take or personal discourse, I offer the lyrics to an upcoming song off of my new band @AstronautsSad album ‘Adult Fears’ titled ‘It’s okay,'” he wrote. “I’m sorry for being obtuse or difficult but it’s a process … love.” . . .

The outlet reported that some of those people leaving the Christian church have begun referring to themselves as the “nones” and are promoting a movement called “deconstruction” — translated as “deconstructing one’s faith and leaving the church.” (Read more from “Grammy-Winning Christian Musician Announces He’s an ‘Exvangelical'” HERE)

GOOD NEWS FOR GUN OWNERS: Supreme Court Rules on Confiscation of Legal Guns From Man’s Home

By WND. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the generally accepted “community caretaking” responsibilities that police have, for example, to search an abandoned vehicle for dangerous weapons, does not apply to homes.

The ruling Monday came in a case brought by Edward Caniglia, a Rhode Island man, who charged that the police violated his Fourth Amendment rights by promising they would not take his guns, but then immediately searching his home and taking them.

The dispute arose because Caniglia and his wife had argued. During the course of the dispute Edward Caniglia handed his wife an unloaded gun and told her to kill him. . .

They arrived at her home together, and found Edward Caniglia on the porch. He agreed to go to a hospital for an exam on the condition officers leave his guns alone.

They promised that, but immediately reneged and he sued. (Read more from “Supremes Rule on Cops Confiscating Legal Guns From Man’s Home” HERE)

Supreme Court Unanimously Rejects Warrantless Gun Seizure

By Daily Caller. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 on Monday that Rhode Island police officers acted illegally when they seized a man’s guns without a warrant.

Edward Caniglia sued the city of Cranston, Rhode Island, after police officers located and took his guns while he was in the hospital for a mental health wellness check. He argued that the seizure violated his Fourth Amendment rights, although two federal courts ruled against him. Those courts relied on a provision of the law that allows police to seize guns from drivers while on the road. . .

“The very core of the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee is the right of a person to retreat into his or her home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the Court.

The police had argued that they were allowed to seize Caniglia’s guns during the wellness check because of the “community care-taking exception” to the Fourth Amendment. That exception allows police officers to conduct searches for what “may be described as community care-taking functions,” when “there is no claim of criminal liability.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Unanimously Rejects Warrantless Gun Seizure” HERE)

Maricopa County Officials Blast Election Auditors, Refuse Meeting With Arizona Senate

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors demanded an end to the Arizona Senate-led audit of the 2020 election in the populous county that includes Phoenix, a significant new stand by the Republican-led group against the review that former President Donald Trump and his allies have cited to further claim the contest was stolen.

Board members issued their defiant response after holding a meeting Monday afternoon to address questions raised by Senate President Karen Fann in a letter to Chairman Jack Sellers regarding the audit, which includes a review of the county’s 2.1 million ballots and election equipment, raising “serious issues” auditors claimed to have found during their work. Among them, Fann said, was the county’s failure to provide virtual copies of Wi-Fi routers and allegations that someone deleted a main database from the Election Management System.

“These accusations are false, defamatory, and beneath the dignity of the Senate,” the board wrote in a 13-page letter signed by all five members. “They are an insult to the dedicated public servants in the Maricopa County Elections Department and Office of the Recorder, who work incredibly long hours conducting the County’s elections with integrity and honor.”

Compounding the controversy surrounding Fann’s letter last week are tweets by an account for the audit, run by unnamed volunteers, which has clashed with local journalists covering the process and made serious but so far unsubstantiated allegations about the election.

The Patriot Purge Is Underway in the U.S. Armed Forces

On this Armed Forces Day, to protect every member of the US Armed Forces serving the Republic, we are exposing the very dangerous initiative hatched by Biden/Harris/Obama to the American Citizens, that is destroying the “Combat Effectiveness” of the US Armed Forces. The Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin hired a Radical DOD Extremist Czar, Bishop Garrison, to search for and oust Extremists from the US Armed Forces. Bishop Garrison’s, official title is The Senior Advisor to The Secretary of Defense on Human Capital and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Garrison will oversee the implementation of immediate actions required to combat Patriot Extremism, as well as the development of the mid-term and long-term recommendations for the continued engagement to combat Patriot Extremism.

Garrison is a 1619 Project racist activist who believes in and provides support for the racist principles of 1619 Project, which is based on outright lies, that never actually occurred in history. He is implementing a very sinister and extremely dangerous initiative in the US Armed Forces, by force feeding Critical Race Theory into the entire US Armed Forces which is degrading the “Combat Effectiveness” and “Unit Cohesion” of the US military. The Obama screened inept woke Superintendents at West Point and the US Naval Academy have been inserting Critical Race Theory, politics, and racism into the curriculum of those Service Academies, to the detriment of “Unit Cohesion” and “Comradery” in the Long Gray Line and in The Brigade of Midshipmen.

Bishop Garrison has repeatedly stated that anyone in the US Armed Forces who supported President Donald J. Trump is a racist and must be purged from the US military. Garrison does not see Army Green, instead he only sees “race”, unlike every recruit trained in the US Army over the last 80 years who have been taught that there is only one color in the US Army, Army Green. Garrison is only searching for MAGA Red and is determined to get all of those supporters of President Trump out of the US military. That is flagrant violation of the Civil Rights of every member of the US Armed Forces, but Secretary Austin has given Garrison free range to hunt out and eliminate career opportunities for any Patriot supporter of President Trump.

Garrison has been tasked with reviewing, updating, and redefining, what “Extremism” is, but that does not include members of ANTIFA and the Marxist Black Live Matter Domestic Terrorists groups who are Extremists. They have put over 8,000 Police Officers in hospitals, torched thousands of police cruisers, destroyed and torched over $2 billion in infrastructure in over 200 Sanctuary Cities, while being responsible for the death of over 300 Americans, over the last 17 months.

Garrison and SecDef Austin say Extremism is rampant and a major problem in the US Armed Forces, that it is sinister and dangerous, and that every effort is underway to find and oust Patriot Extremists from the US Armed Forces. Garrison is the Director of a Commission of Extremism Study which is responsible for rooting out extremist behavior within the US Armed Forces, to gain greater fidelity on the scope of the Patriot Extremists in the US Armed Forces. Garrison chairs a weekly Pentagon Countering Extremism Working Group that have been changing the US Armed Forces.

1. One of Garrison’s first acts was to empower Veterans to spy on, and to report on fellow Veterans who they consider Extremists, and to report on potential contacts who are in Extremist groups.

2. Garrison is changing the method of screening and recruiting personnel into the US Armed Forces to exclude Patriot Extremists from being recruited.

3. Garrison is standardizing a screening questionnaire for every branch of the US Armed Forces to update and standardize a screening questionnaire, to solicit specific information about current or previous extremist behavior by an individual member of the US Armed Forces.

An example of purging a Patriot from the US Armed Forces is the case of Lt Col Matthew Lohmeier, who graduated from US Air Force Academy in 2006, and was a former instructor and fighter pilot for 14 years. In October 2020, he was transferred into the Space Force, and was assigned as the Commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base; the unit is tasked with detecting ballistic missile launches He previously self-published a book titled “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military”, which claims Marxist ideologies are becoming prevalent in the US military.

In a podcast, he spoke about U.S. institutions, including universities, media and federal agencies including the military, that he said were increasingly adopting leftist practices. He said these practices — such as diversity and inclusion training — are the systemic causes for the divisive climate across America today. For expressing his “Freedom of Speech”, Lt Col Lohmeier was relieved from his post on Friday by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of Space Operations Command, because of comments he made during that podcast promoting his new book.

Garrison has been directed to initiate the below listed Lines of Effort (LOE) with the help of internal and “external—non-military” Subject Matter Experts as follows:

· Line of Effort 1: Altering the Military Justice and Policy. This LOE will focus on the role of military justice and policy. It will evaluate whether seeking to amend the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) or amending related department policy is appropriate to address Extremism. This LOE will determine if regulations are sufficient or should be expanded to authorize it to purge and oust Extremists from the US Armed Forces.

·

· Line of Effort 2: Support and Oversight of Insider Threat Program. This LOE will determine how the Department should facilitate better information collection and sharing among Service Insider Threat Programs, law enforcement organizations, security organizations, and commanders and supervisors. This group will work to strengthen Insider Threat Programs and the Direct Awareness Campaign with the goal of promoting the use of the Insider Threat programs to report concerning behaviors for both military and civilian personnel.

·

· Line of Effort 3: Screening Capability. This LOE will discuss the Department’s pursuit of scalable and cost-effective capabilities to screen publicly available electronic information in accessions and continuous vetting for national security positions. The LOE will make recommendations on further development of such capabilities and incorporating machine learning and natural language processing into social media screening platforms. This LOE will also endeavor to develop policy to expand user activity monitoring of both Secret Internet Protocol (SIPR) and Non-Classified Internet Protocol (NIPR) systems.

·

· Line of Effort 4: Education and Training. This LOE will utilize the current extremist and Insider Threat training review being conducted by Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Public Relations and Office of he Under Secretary of Defense Legal Services Agency and examine existing training and make recommendations and updates to change the training material for different leadership levels and separate and discrete targeted audiences, as necessary. It will use lessons learned from the Stand Down to enhance current reviews of training and education. This LOE will also ensure training addresses issues raised by commanders and supervisors on “gray areas” such as reading, following, and liking extremist material and content in social media forums and platforms, to target those service members who may be in extremist groups, to eliminate those Extremists.

In fact, this is a racist quest by Bishop Garrison, which was started by Obama in 2008. It is being driven forward by the Marxists, Socialists and the Biden/Harris/ Obama administration, to purge of Patriotic Americans and destroy the “Combat Effectiveness and “Unit Cohesiveness” of the US Armed Forces while eliminating any support for the founding principles that The Founding Fathers provided to their posterities in 1776, and substituting that with the racist principles of the 1619 Project.

Trump Releases New Statement On 2020 Election

More than six months after Election Day, former President Donald Trump revisited the subject of the 2020 presidential contest on Saturday with a blazing trio of statements.

“As our Country is being destroyed, both inside and out, the Presidential Election of 2020 will go down as THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!” Trump posted on his website.

Trump also cited a Wall Street Journal story headlined “Trump-Biden Was Worst Presidential Polling Miss in 40 Years” that said polling overstated support for Democrats, including President Joe Biden. (Read more from “Trump Releases New Statement On 2020 Election” HERE)

Major Church Looks To Kill Saying ‘Husband and Wife’ at Weddings

The general assembly of the Church of Scotland soon will be reviewing a plan to drop the terms “husband and wife” from its marriage ceremonies.

It’s that sometimes, well, these days there’s no husband, or wife, because the church is planning to dive headlong into affirming same-sex duos.

The Christian Institute described the plan as “radical,” and noted later this month the leaders of the religious organization will consider a specific plan to kill references to “husband and wife.” . . .

Currently, the church’s marriage ceremonies explain, “the parties covenant together to take each other as husband and wife as long as they both shall live, and the minister declares the parties to be husband and wife.”

The proposal would make it, “the parties covenant together to take each other in marriage as long as they both shall live, and the minister or deacon declares the parties to be married.” (Read more from “Major Church Looks To Kill Saying ‘Husband and Wife’ at Weddings” HERE)

Israel Nears Full Blown War With Hamas; Dems Divide Over Israel on Full Display; U.S. Evacuates Military Personnel From Israel

By Fox News. Escalating violence between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas has cast a spotlight on deepening Democratic divisions over the Jewish state.

The party split played out in full view on social media this week after Hamas launched indiscriminate rocket attacks at Israel, which responded with airstrikes on Hamas targets in Gaza, reportedly killing some civilians. Israel is also dealing with domestic unrest from Arab rioters.

International observers are concerned about the possibility of “full-scale war.” . . .

President Biden and the Democratic old guard have voiced support for Israel’s right to defend itself from Hamas’ rocket attacks.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted Thursday that there are “fundamental differences between a terrorist organization, Hamas, that is indiscriminately raining down rockets — in fact, targeting civilians — and Israel’s response defending itself, that is targeting the terrorists.” Biden similarly said that Israel “has a right to defend itself.”

Expert Claims He Found Why Some COVID-19 Vaccines Trigger Clot Issues

Scientists world-wide are racing to understand why Covid-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca PLC and Johnson & Johnson are causing rare but potentially deadly blood clots.

Determining the connection would help patients, doctors and health agencies better assess any risks posed by the vaccines and safely calibrate their use. In recent weeks, the U.S., the Canadian province of Ontario and several European countries including Norway and Denmark either paused or completely halted rollouts involving these vaccines.

“Understanding the cause is of highest importance for the next-generation vaccines, because [the novel] coronavirus will stay with us and vaccination will likely become seasonal,” said Eric van Gorp, a professor at Erasmus University in the Netherlands who heads a group of scientists studying the condition.

In Germany, one researcher thinks he has found what is triggering the clots. Andreas Greinacher, a blood expert, and his team at the University of Greifswald believe so-called viral vector vaccines—which use modified harmless cold viruses, known as adenoviruses, to convey genetic material into vaccine recipients to fight the coronavirus—could cause an autoimmune response that leads to blood clots. According to Prof. Greinacher, that reaction could be tied to stray proteins and a preservative he has found in the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Prof. Greinacher and his team has just begun examining Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine but has identified more than 1,000 proteins in AstraZeneca’s vaccine derived from human cells, as well as a preservative known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA. Their hypothesis is that EDTA, which is common to drugs and other products, helps those proteins stray into the bloodstream, where they bind to a blood component called platelet factor 4, or PF4, forming complexes that activate the production of antibodies.

How Palm Beach Is Preparing For A Possible Trump Indictment; Florida Officials Are Preparing ‘Contingency Plans’

By Politico. Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, Fla., have actively prepared for the possibility that Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance could indict former President Donald Trump while he’s at Mar-a-Lago, according to two high-ranking county officials involved in planning sessions.

Among the topics discussed in those meetings: how to handle the thorny extradition issues that could arise if an indictment moves forward.

An obscure clause in Florida’s statute on interstate extradition gives Gov. Ron Desantis the ability to intervene and even investigate whether an indicted “person ought to be surrendered” to law enforcement officials from another state — which means that as Mar-a-Lago prepares to close down for the season and Trump relocates to Bedminster, N.J., it isn’t just the Florida heat he’s leaving behind: He could lose a key piece of political protection.

“The statute leaves room for interpretation that the governor has the power to order a review and potentially not comply with the extradition notice,” says Joe Abruzzo, clerk of the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, the official who would be in charge of opening a potential fugitive-at-large case.

Florida Officials Are Preparing ‘Contingency Plans’ For A Trump Indictment From New York, Report Says

By Business Insider. As the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump enters its final stages, officials in Florida are preparing for “thorny extradition issues that could arise” from a statute in the Sunshine State, Politico Playbook first reported on Thursday.

Two officials involved in the “contingency plans” told Politico that law-enforcement personnel in Palm Beach County were looking at what to do if Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s investigation results in an indictment while Trump is at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. . .

If Trump were indicted while in New Jersey, extradition issues could prove less tricky because the state is led by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, who would likely be less sympathetic to the one-term president.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that his perceived political foes are out to get him after his presidency and has expressed concern about several ongoing federal and state criminal investigations into his financial dealings. Insider previously reported that Trumpworld was largely shrugging off the Justice Department’s investigation into the Capitol riot but saw more danger in Vance’s inquiry and a separate investigation by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in Georgia.

The New York investigation is examining whether the Trump Organization violated state laws when it facilitated hush-money payments to the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, who said she had an affair with Trump in 2006. Vance’s office secured a major victory earlier this year when the Supreme Court cleared the way for it to obtain Trump’s closely held tax returns.
