One the one hand, professional sports needs a hard reset. On the other hand, a world without ANY sports would be the poorer. For better or worse, pro athletics has long been a cultural staple of American life and I’m not eager to see it get Cancel Cultured at the same time as the entire rest of American history.

Why COVID -19 Outbreaks in College Sports Are Scary as Hell

https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-covid-19-outbreaks-in-college-sports-should-scare-you?ref=home

By Emily Shugerman, Gender Reporter, 12 July 2020

Like I said, HARD RESET.

“COVID-19 outbreaks in college sports are scary as Hell” because for the first time in their sheltered, overpaid, unproductive lives, the cost of their next meal is telling overprotective, hysterical Karens to sod off. As predicted by Christianity, most men would rather die.

Gene Taylor thought he was playing it safe when he allowed preseason football practices at Kansas State University to start on June 15. It was two weeks later than some other teams had started practicing.a significant setback in the hyper-competitive Big 12 conference. Every athlete was quarantined for at least a week after they arrived, then tested for the virus. Those who tested negative underwent daily temperature checks and questioning before they could work out. For the first week, it looked like the team had pulled off the impossible: Not one player tested positive.

But a few players showed up late, either because they were freshmen or transfer students, and weren’t tested until the Friday before. The athletics department told them to isolate themselves until the following Monday, when they would get their results back. But college students are college students, and two of them didn’t listen. One player went to a birthday party over the weekend; another went to play video games in an apartment with eight to 10 other people.

Good for them. They aren’t putting their lives on hold for a do-nothing disease.

.That’s when it started to spread,. Taylor told The Daily Beast in an interview this week..We had two more, and then we had six, and then we had eight..

On June 20, after 14 student-athletes tested positive for the coronavirus, the school suspended football practice until at least July 14.

That’s “tested positive”. Not “symptomatic”, “sick” or least of all “dying on a respirator”.

.The worry for everybody is, how do you protect these kids?. Taylor said. .We can’t put them in a bubble, they are going to go back to their apartments and dorm rooms..

He added: .It’s going to be a bumpy road for college football..

“If it save JUST ONE LIFE from testing positive for a disease so deadly that it INFECTS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE then we must exterminate all fun in the world!”

In many ways, it already has been. In the six weeks since the NCAA allowed colleges to start preseason training, at least nine schools have suspended practices because of virus outbreaks on their teams. More than 50 schools have reported one or more cases in the athletics department, and over a dozen have reported more than 30. The Big 10, Pac-12, Atlantic Coast, and Patriots League conferences have all made significant changes to their season schedules, and 14 schools have cancelled them altogether.

Of course, sports teams aren’t the only places on campus where coronavirus can spread. (The University of Washington was recently commended for “staying ahead of the coronavirus” after no new athletes tested positive for a week, despite the fact that at least 117 people living in the school’s frat house had tested positive days earlier.)

That’s the smart move. Spread the virus now, college kids, or you’ll be locked down and quarantined indefinitely “for your safety”.

But experts say the results of preseason training contain clues about what we can expect when hundreds of thousands of students return to the 60 percent of U.S. campuses that are restarting in-person education this fall.

These athletes, some experts say, are essentially canaries in a very contagious coal mine.

“I think [these outbreaks] tell us more about what may happen when we get thousands of students back on campus than just what’s happening on athletic teams,. said Zachary O. Binney, an epidemiologist at the Oxford College of Emory University.

Specifically, NOTHING. A mild bug running through a very healthy population… less the grievance studies department… oh, okay, I understand now and their worry is legitimate. If severe lockdowns and behavior modification tricks can’t protect healthy athletes from exposure then they can’t protect the morbidly obese vegans with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, either.

Good news, feminists! You’re about to become a REAL victim! How fortunate that you have trained your lives for this moment!

.In a group that is interacting a lot with one another, this virus spreads quietly,. he added. .We’ve seen this happen on college campuses with summer sports workouts, and I think there is reason to believe that we may see something similar in the fall..

George Floyd protests = summer sports workouts?

The first team to suspend practice this summer was the University of Houston, which temporarily paused workouts on June 12 after six students on various sports teams tested positive for the virus. (Players at Arkansas State University, Auburn, Texas Tech, Boise State, Florida State, the University of Central Florida, the University of Alabama, and Clemson University others had already tested positive, but the teams elected to continue practicing without them.) Taylor’s team at Kansas State was next, followed by Austin Peay and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.all before the beginning of July.

Then, on June 20, at least a quarter of Louisiana State’s football team was quarantined after being potentially exposed to the virus. According to Sports Illustrated, 30 of the team’s 115 players either tested positive for the virus or were found to have been in contact with someone who had. Some of the players were quarantined after going out to nearby nightclubs, where more than 100 patrons had tested positive.

The contact tracers have apparently been starting with the colleges. Baby steps, I guess. It would be a sharp learning curve to start with the Bundy Ranch bunch.

Still, the NCAA continued with its plan to let schools start mandatory workouts as early as July 6. (At the time the plan was announced, NCAA Football Oversight Committee Chairman Shane Lyons said he thought the association had “landed in a very good spot..) By July 8.two days after mandatory workouts were allowed to start.three more schools had suspended practice.

The NCAA correctly realizes that the cost of preventing the spread of C-Virus will be its continued existence.

One of the schools, the University of North Carolina, reported 37 positive cases in its athletics department in less than a month. In an interview with the News and Observer weeks earlier, head football coach Mack Brown had hinted that the team was having trouble, and seemed to question whether the game could be played safely.

.The young players had a player-led practice the other day and I asked, .how did it go?. he said. .One of them said, .Not very good.. Nobody knew how to social distance and play..

Which is it? Risk a few small boils or live in a HEPA-filtered basement for the rest of your life? I’m having flashbacks to the media crying over Death Row inmates dying of COVID. What part of “natural causes” do you not understand? The “nobody gets out of life alive” part?

.We’re all trying to do what’s right [by the government], we’re trying to be safe [from the government], but we’re trying to [keep our jobs] get our questions answered,. he added.

It.s not that sports are necessarily more dangerous for the spread of the virus than other on-campus activities. In fact, many athletic departments are taking more precautions than will be in place for the general student population.including weekly testing, daily temperature checks, and regular symptom screening. It’s just that the athletes were the first to confront the inherent safety risks of coming back to campus.

Dean L. Winslow, an infectious disease expert at the Stanford University School of Medicine, noted that the LSU players appear to have contracted the virus at bars in town, not at practice.

In this grand contest between Nanny-state tyranny and young adult hormones, my money is on the latter.

He emphasized that the most important factor in virus spread is not cleaning or hand washing, but the small particles that linger in the air when people congregate indoors.

That’s yet another lie from yet another infectious disease “expert”. Cleanliness in general and hand-washing in particular is THE PRIMARY way to prevent the spread of ALL diseases.

Segue

https://www.change.org/p/board-of-supervisors-reinstate-dr-dean-winslow-to-santa-clara-valley-medical-center-2

On August 12, 2013, Dr. Dean Winslow, a respected Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases physician, Stanford Affiliated Clinical Professor and U.S. Air Force colonel was abruptly fired and escorted from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Although there was no official reason given for his termination, Dr. Winslow had spoken out against recent management decisions that negatively impacted patient care and work conditions. We believe he was fired for exercising his right to free speech in his efforts to advocate for our patients and the staff who care for them.

You don’t have a right to free speech against your employer.

Dr. Winslow has dedicated his life to serving the poor and disenfrancished and to training the next generation of doctors. He started the first AIDS clinic in Delaware shortly after the start of the epidemic. For nine years, he served as the Chief of the Division of AIDS medicine and director of the PACE (HIV) Clinic at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, a public teaching hospital, before being elected as Chair of the Department of Medicine.

Most of the infectious disease experts pushing the Chinavirus narrative are longtime AIDS activists. I want to give them a pass because AIDS was where all the infectious-disease money was in the Eighties and Nineties but it’s getting hard to believe they aren’t Sodomite activists working together. Especially with pictures like this one:

I don’t mind him posing with young Afghan boys in his medical office… except one of them has his hand on Winslow’s lap and very close to that sidearm, too. Not a pic I would use for a petition to reinstate me after telling off the hospital director.

Note that Santa Clara is in the California Gay Area.

Dr. Winslow is also an Air Force flight surgeon who has received numerous medals for flying combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq during 6 operational deployments since 9/11.

End segue.

“It’s nothing specific to sports or sports facilities,. he said. .It’s really just the amount of time spent indoors with large numbers of people..

But sports teams do provide one of the most clear-cut examples of what’s pushing colleges to rapidly reopen: political considerations and financial concerns. Republican governors eager to reopen their states have egged on athletics, allowing stadiums to open up as early as last month and declaring that all professional sports teams are welcome in their states. In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp has been pilloried in the press for saying residents should wear masks so they can have a football season.

Problem: COVID-19. Solution: quarantine Republicans. Hmm.

And while Trump has yet to speak out about college sports, some of his most ardent supporters are demanding the season move forward.

Pre-crime is the law enforcement tool of the future.

In an interview on Fox News, former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz.an early and vocal Trump supporter.compared playing sports in the pandemic to the storming of Normandy: .[The soldiers] knew there was going to be casualties, they knew there was going to be risk, but it was a way of life,. he said.

At the same time, colleges are bleeding money due to the pandemic. For larger institutions, a canceled or even reduced sports season could be a significant blow to their bottom line. According to the U.S. Department of Education, colleges made $14.8 billion off of athletics in 2018, the last year for which data is available.

Texas A&M, one of the top-earning schools, made $192.6 million from its teams in 2013 alone. (Head football coach Jimbo Fisher recently praised Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to reopen stadiums, telling a local radio station he thought the school’s season would be “pretty close to normal..)

Perhaps because of this, some student-athletes have started advocating for their own protection. In mid-June, as UCLA athletes started pre-season practice, 30 football players signed onto a document saying they did not trust the school to act in their best interest. Among other things, they requested the presence of a third-party health official, protections for anonymous whistleblowers, and a guarantee that each player could decide whether or not to play without fear of losing their scholarship.

Come on, dude. You already made the decision to sacrifice your long-term health to be a chemically-fueled sports god for a decade.

.The decision to return to training amidst a global pandemic has put us, the student-athletes, on the frontlines of a battle that we as a nation have not yet been able to win,. the players wrote, in a letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times. .We feel that as some of the first members of the community to attempt a return to normalcy, we must have assurances that allow us to make informed decisions and be protected regardless of our decision..

Cowards. You don’t get assurances. We do not live in a reality of assurances.

Their concerns may not be too far off base. While many schools have promised not to revoke students. scholarships if they don’t participate this season, several have also required them to sign a waiver releasing the school from liability if they choose to play. A Southern Methodist University waiver obtained by the Dallas Morning News requires players to sign 11 different times, agreeing to “voluntarily assume all risks related to the COVID-19 virus. and waiving their right to litigation.

Ohio State University has asked players to sign a similar document, called “The Buckeye Pledge,. requiring them to adhere to safety protocols but also to acknowledge that they may be exposed to the coronavirus during play. (Gene Smith, Ohio’s athletic director, told ESPN the pledge was more of an educational document than a legal one.) Just this week, the school announced that it was pausing voluntary workouts due to a virus outbreak among student athletes.

It can be an educational document without a legally binding signature… yes?

Rather than have players assume this risk, or assume it themselves, some schools have elected to cancel their seasons altogether. Bowdoin College and the University of Massachusetts Boston were among the first to cancel their seasons in June, followed by the College of New Jersey, Pratt Institute, Williams College, and Morehouse. In the largest such announcement to date, the presidents of all eight Ivy League schools said this week that they would be cancelling their seasons, too.

The presidents of all eight Ivy League schools kept their jobs after this announcement. Victory!

Also this week, the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences announced that they will allow only in-conference games this fall, reducing the need for long-distance travel and helping to promote more universal testing. The Atlantic Coast Conference is reportedly considering a similar move, while the Patriot League, a conference of smaller Northeast schools, has shortened its season and put restrictions on travel.

In a video for the NCAA released last week, PAC-12 commissioner Larry Scott sounded anxious about what the season would hold.

.I think what we’ve seen over the last few weeks gives us reason to be concerned that when campuses open up, there could be real spikes and pressures on the health-care system,. he said, noting the rising case counts across the country. .From my perspective, that’s really the biggest risk to college sports in the fall.”

And yet, like the soldiers at the Battle of Normandy, some teams are still charging ahead.

Author Emily dishonored those soldiers by comparing the Normandy invasion to contracting a generally asymptomatic virus.

After a 14-day pause, Kansas State athletes have arrived back on campus, in hopes of starting up practice once again.

Asked why it was so important for college athletics to continue, Taylor said the question was better suited for the student athletes.

.When I talk to our athletes, these guys have been dying to get back and working out and preparing,. he said. .These kids just want to play..

He added, .They love the game of football..

*GQ collects his bet on young adult hormones.*

Do you resent every moment spent wearing a face diaper? Do you sympathize with George Floyd’s “I Can’t Breathe” for all the wrong reasons? Does blocking out human facial expressions make you feel emotionally disconnected from your fellow man? Good news! There is an alternative!

I’ve been field-testing some plastic face shields that finally arrived in the mail.

Protective Plastic Splash Face Shield – Assembled – REUSABLE

This company makes name tags but when Chinavirus lockdowns hit, retooled to make these plastic face shields. That’s the kind of initiative I like to see in a business. I got a couple and spent the weekend wearing them on errands in urban Commiefornia to test both their effectiveness and acceptance. Where I live, there’s not a single business that does not religiously enforce WHO restrictions, complete with Commissar Karens at the grocery entrance, so the testing has been thorough politically as well as practically.

Unlike the above picture, I did NOT wear a cloth mask underneath the shield. A couple commissars stared at me a little but none complained. I wore the mask to my local gym, the hardware store, the grocery, a couple fast-food restaurants (for take-out) and a trip to the beach.

Good points: YOU CAN BREATHE IN THIS! There is no feeling of suffocation at all. Nothing touches your face except the headband. It will fog a little, down where your breath hits it (there was considerable humidity) but it never reached the point of obscuring vision.

Face coverage was excellent. I’d worried that they would be either too open to the sides to count as a face covering or too enclosed for easy breathing, yet both concerns proved to be unfounded.

The headband is surprisingly comfortable. I have little head hair yet it never slipped, not even when I was grunting out sets of heavy weights at the gym! I pushed myself until the condensation from my breath was raining down this sucker, yet never felt like I was short of breath and it never slipped.

You can also wear glasses with this. My cloth mask makes my glasses fog up.

A surprise bonus is I wasn’t able to touch my face while wearing the shield. That’s how disease really gets spread, y’know, and most people touch their faces many times without even noticing. Face shields prevent that entirely! Be sure to use this as a selling point if/when a Karen calls you out for not wearing a CLOTH mask.

Bad points: The plastic material is the same stuff as the stiff, clear name tags that you wore at large conventions and similar occasions in your past life of America as a free country. No surprise, given the company’s heritage. Thus, it’s not the ideal material for this application. It will blur your vision a little (lots of tiny scratches) and it’s not durable enough to handle wind or mishandling, but honestly you aren’t paying enough for that (current price is $18). Polycarbonate face visors will set you back several hundred dollars.

They are reusable and easily cleaned, however, so with a little care they should last until the plastic roughs up too much for good vision. Probably a month or two of regular use.

Conclusion, for indoor work, running errands and visits to the gym, this allows you to comply with quarantine guidelines* without having to spend your summer filtering oxygen through sweat-soaked bacteria gardens. For outdoors work, however, they lack the sturdiness to survive rough handling and the elements.

 

*Quarantine guidelines subject to change hourly with no notice or relationship to reality. Plastic face shields prevent kissing political ass.

 

Amid rising frustration with middle-manager-for-the-State clergy, the Colson Center helpfully reminds Protestants that their pastor has a Divine Right to Rule.

Pastor or Parrot? Lessons from the Coronavirus Pt. 11

https://breakpoint.org/pastor-or-parrot/

By John Stonestreet and Maria Baer, 7 July 2020

Because Christian theology is best served under female oversight.

Pastoring is always a difficult job. I can’t think of another job, in fact, in which someone is hired to do one thing (typically, lead and disciple God’s people) but evaluated on a completely different thing (namely, growing the audience and the budget).

That should have been John’s first clue that pastors aren’t doing their job.

Pastoring would not be difficult if pastors practiced discipleship, that is, training their replacements. When I train a new guy at work, I want him to eventually not need me anymore so I can play video games and Internet porn while he makes me a bushel of money. Something like that, anyway. I train new guys to do my work, not to cheerlead while I martyr myself at 80 hours per workweek.

But pastors, they insist on doing it all from the Sunday sermon to marriage counseling to visiting the sick to defying unlawful government. If they would simply teach a layman to help with the hard tasks then their stress levels would drop considerably.

That’s layMAN, nota bene, not co-author Maria Baer. Seeking help from female clergy/theologians will make the pastor’s job much harder than simply taking a hit for God’s “no wimminz in pulpits” rule.

Pastoring during coronavirus seems even more unenviable. Zoom stock might be way up as the new preferred platform for corporations and schools, but there is no digital substitute for the sort of face-to-face work pastoring requires.

Masks are anti-Christian because they interfere with how God made us. Our faces are the primary method by which we express emotions (hence my interest in physiognomy as a predictor of emotional states). It’s possible to show emotion by voice or pantomine but it’s much harder, less efficient and it’s simply not how God wired us.

If masks were medically necessary then wouldn’t people wear them voluntarily? Why not just let the people who want to risk getting sick, risk get sick? The reason opposition to mask-wearing is a thing is because Normies are getting upset with having to wear masks EVEN WHEN STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. They ask if masks actually work for blocking viruses and get told “Maybe they do, now obey your New Normal masters!”

That is not hygiene. That is social engineering. Effort to twist human nature into a shape not Created by Our Creator.

When to close down was a tough decision. When to reopen is even more difficult. If pastors choose to strictly adhere to state guidelines, they will upset people. If they ignore or relax those guidelines, they upset others.

They upset anti-Christian government officials to whom pastors have no loyalty. Separation of Church and State, remember?

Also, the Karens who love them.

In almost every church I know of, pastors face a no-win proposition right now.

The siren song of incompetent leaders is that nobody cares about them. It’s true! A real leader would solve the problem instead of wishing for an easy out.

That plus their enthusiasm for wearing face diapers makes it easy for me to see Church leaders as faceless, subhuman cogs in the New World Order. Not caring about them has never been so easy!

But perhaps I’m being unfair. After having chased off everybody but geriatric Baby Boomers, modern churches are basically day trips for nursing home invalids who expect to die at any moment. I cannot dispute that the strict nursing home guidelines would be appropriate… guidelines such as “forced acceptance of confirmed disease carriers” a la New York City.

That’s the kind of scum you pastors are now taking orders from.

In addition to navigating a global pandemic, pastors must also deal with our already intense and only intensifying cultural firestorms.

Poor clergy. They thought they’d found the perfect sinecure then once installed in the seats of power, unexpected events demanded real acts of leadership & courage from them. Small wonder that they can’t obey the China Health Organization quickly enough.

While we all must navigate the issues of race, sexuality & gender, criminal justice, political divisions, and other markers of our fallen human nature that dominate this cultural moment, pastors face expectations that many of us don’t. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this phrase on social media recently: .If your pastor doesn’t preach about X from the pulpit this Sunday, it’s time to find a new church.” Same phrase, but the X changes with the headlines.

Don’t get me wrong. As the true account of the human condition, the Bible has this quality of universal relevance. Pastors should make the connection between the timeless truths of Scripture and our particular context, both in their preaching and in their leading. There are times that to not address something from the pulpit is to be louder than addressing it, and churches that never address controversial issues risk giving their people the impression that the Bible is our own personal, private collection of encouragements rather than the personal, public and true account of the human condition.

It is a poor shepherd who blames his flock. Where did the little people acquire this “my way or the highway” attitude? From the pastor. Here’s a thought: ALLOW DISSENT IN YOUR CHURCH. Give some pulpit time to competing ideas and philosophies. Don’t smack them down afterwards, either, just allow people to speak their mind when they have something to say and let people decide for themselves. Maybe then your church won’t split every time somebody gets a funny idea.

At the same time, the loud demands placed today on pastors to not only hold but to articulate our approved opinions reveals more about us than about our pastors. After all, if we are confident our pastor is called by God and entrusted by Him to lead us into His Word and His will, that leaves little room for making demands on what he teaches.

Why is Protestant Stonestreet spouting a Vatican belief? Is this not exactly what the Reformation was all about?

The average pastor can’t lead the way out of a paper sack, to say nothing of being supernaturally appointed an infallible Priest-King by God Himself because congregants are too stupid to live by their own wits.

Also, our loud demands that a pastor “talk about subject X,. almost always means “say specifically what I want him to say about subject X.. But that also means we’re not really looking for a pastor or a teacher anymore. We’re looking for a parrot.

To misquote Jesus, “They want you to be a parrot because you first wanted them to be parrots.”

Now we get to the crux of Stonestreet’s complaint:

The demands pastors face can range from mountains to molehills, but, in too many cases, they are treated the same. To bring up the most common elephant in the sanctuary today, everyone has strong feelings about masks. I do too. But being asked to wear a mask in church by pastors seeking to comply with civic authorities or protect the health of parishioners is not a matter of orthodoxy. This is not a sufficient cause of outrage or of making demands for our pastor’s compliance. And it’s certainly not worth leaving a church over.

John, if you loved God then you wouldn’t fear death. You would let the congregants decide for themselves what health measures they should take. But no, Pastor gets to make health decisions for everybody… and what a coincidence that our Dear Leaders courageously decided to tiptoe the Christ-hating, Christ-banning government guidelines!!!

“No more singing hymns until the government gives permission” IS ABSOLUTELY A MATTER OF ORTHODOXY! No more Communion, the State says! No more baptisms! This is NOT OKAY!

Keep in mind that pastors are called to shepherd specific congregations. Though the big cultural issues are always relevant, each community and each congregation find themselves in a specific time and place (as Paul told the Athenians) with specific people and circumstances all orchestrated by God. For example, a church connected to an addiction recovery center, as is the home church of a colleague, will be made of people with specific needs and challenges that others may not have.

And a church connected to Planet Earth has the specific need of obeying the World Government, er, World Health Organization, in all matters religious?

What is really at stake here is that we all need to foster a proper ecclesiology, (that.s a $.50 word for the doctrine of the church). When we view church like we do so much of 21st-century Western life, as consumers, we’ll see church as a place to be entertained or affirmed, in our feelings and in our views. That, rather than a fidelity to Christ and His Gospel, is what’s driving so much of the entitlement we feel, and pastors face.

For two full generations now, the organized Church has refused to be a benefit to the people of God. We are “consumers” only in the sense that some of us think church participation should benefit us, not merely the credentialed inner circle and the NGO charities they approve of.

I predict Stonestreet will find his new ecclesiology in Rome. He already floated the concept of Divine Right to Rule.

Every church and every Christian, of course, ought to expect and demand that pastors preach the true Word of God with passion and courage. We ought never allow a pastor to abuse his power or his position in exploiting the congregation.

Still, we ought never demand that our pastor never disagree with us.

Strawman. Nobody demands that his pastor NEVER disagree with him.

The holy willingness of a pastor to say what’s true is only matched by the holy willingness of Christ followers to hear what we may not like. And again, don’t leave a church over a mask.

The holy willingness of a modern pastor to preach the Gospel is totally eclipsed by his loyalty to the Christ-hating American governments.

And thank God, even the remainders in the pews are noticing “I Can’t Breathe”.

 

The Leftist media is on the warpath against churches reopening. Here’s their latest faulty accusation:

Medical examiner: Teen who died from COVID-19 attended large church event days before death

“Carsyn Davis, who died on June 23, is one of the youngest people in Florida to die from the virus.”

https://www.nbc-2.com/story/42330647/medical-examiner-teen-who-died-from-covid19-attended-large-church-event-days-before-death

By Evan Dean, 6 July 2020

LEE COUNTY, Fla. – The 17-year-old Lee County girl who died from complications of coronavirus was at a church event with 100 other kids two weeks before she died, according to the medical examiner’s investigative report into her death.

THE CHURCH INFECTED HER!!! *hyperventilation* IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYBODY WHO GOES TO CHURCH!!!

Carsyn Davis, who died on June 23, is one of the youngest people in Florida to die from the virus.

Physiognomy: genus Social Justice Warrior, species Trigglypuff.

The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department, which put together the report, said Davis had a “complex medical history” with a number of health problems. In a GoFundMe page for Carsyn’s family, her mother wrote that Carsyn battled cancer and a rare autoimmune disorder from an early age.

Slow yer hyperventilation. Like most non-elderly victims, this young girl had enough preexisting conditions to disqualify her from ever purchasing life insurance.

The ME.s report said on June 10, Carsyn attended a “church function.. NBC2 has confirmed it was a youth church event hosted by First Assembly of God in Fort Myers. The medical examiner reported Carsyn was “with 100 other children. She did not wear a mask. Social distancing not followed..

Hard truth: everybody is going to get this disease. There will be no vaccine and frankly, no vaccine is needed now that the disease is well-understood and treatable.

Assuming you aren’t a cancer survivor with an autoimmune disorder.

From June 10 through June 15, the report said Carsyn’s mother, a nurse, and her stepfather, a physician’s assistant, prophylactically treated her with azithromycin, an antibiotic.

Don’t blame the church because it let kids play. Blame the parents’ medical malpractice of using an antibiotic to treat a viral infection. Their jobs mean they should have known better.

Did you catch “stepfather” in that? Carsyn is a child of divorce. That’s a risk factor, too, for just about everything.

But on June 13, she developed symptoms: a headache, sinus pressure, and a mild cough. The report said her family thought she had a sinus infection.

I’m now confused. Which is it? Did they start treating her the same day for exposure to Wuhan Whoop or did they think it was a sinus infection while all the headlines talked endlessly about SARS-Cov-2? Or were they already treating her for a bacterial infection when Chinavirus came along?

Carsyn.s symptoms persisted, and on June 19, the medical examiner reported Carsyn’s mother noted she looked “gray” while sleeping. Her mother discovered her oxygen levels were low, so she gave Carsyn some of her grandfather’s oxygen.

Supporting the medical malpractice idea.

The report said her parents also gave her hydroxychloroquine. In June, it was revoked for emergency use by the FDA, after being touted earlier in the pandemic.

That’s news to me. So, the only permitted treatment in USA will cost $3k per treatment from Gilead BigCorp. instead of $3 like everywhere else in the world.

*checks* The HCQ was “unlikely to be effective” and “had serious side effects”. I heard “we canceled President Trump’s recommendation now that he’s busy with reelection”. And yes, I fully believe that Federal health officials would endanger the lives of every human being in North America in order to make somebody they didn’t like look bad. That’s why they wanted power in the first place.

If they administered HCQ as competently as they did antibiotics… *shrug*

Carsyn was then admitted to the pediatric ICU at Golisano Children’s Hospital, the report said, and she tested positive for COVID-19. Her parents declined intubation.

On June 20th and June 21, she was given plasma therapy. A day later on June 22, she was intubated — but serious problems persisted.

Carsyn was taken to a children’s hospital in Miami for more extreme measures, but ultimately — on the afternoon of June 23– she was pronounced dead.

An autoimmune disorder made that fate nearly certain anyway. She was probably lucky to get 17 years of life.

NBC2 spoke with Pastor David Thomas at the First Assembly of God Church on Monday. He said the church did take precautions to keep kids safe during the June 10 event. Thomas said if kids weren’t practicing social distancing, that was their decision. He said the church wasn’t going to be policing the event.

A valid point. What are we going to do, imprison children in solitary confinement out of fear that they’ll play with each other? Some of the school reopening plans I’ve seen are exactly that.

NBC2 tried asking the church more questions, but we’re still waiting for a response. We stopped by the Davis family home Monday to ask about the report, but we were asked to leave the property.

Smart moves on both sides. Pastor Thomas would have done even smarter to NEVER talk to the media.

First Carsyn had bad parents–note they intentionally misspelled the name “Carson”–then she had an autoimmune disorder, then cancer, then apparently an eating disorder, then she played with other kids at church, then she died of a disease that almost no children have yet died of.

Obviously, all church activities must be permanently banned for the health of humanity. We sicko Christians let our children play without masks!

 

I’ve been busy at work so this is a quick one. This guy’s story is nothing special but his appearance is… fascinating.

Hate Hoax: Oregon Politico Jonathan Lopez Admits He Wrote Racist Letter to Himself

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/08/hate-hoax-oregon-politico-jonathan-lopez-admits-he-wrote-racist-letter-to-himself/

Jonathan Lopez, an unsuccessful local candidate in Umatilla County, Oregon, has confessed to penning an anonymous racist letter to himself last month, police revealed this weekend.

Lopez, who is of Latino heritage, claimed to have discovered a letter addressed to him filled with racist slurs on June 23, which reportedly included the warning that he and other “Mexicans” were “not welcome here,. according to KEPR-TV. However, he has now fessed up to being the author of the hateful message, the East Oregonian reports.

.The time spent on this fictitious claim means time lost on other matters, not to mention it needlessly adds to the incredible tension that exists in our nation today,. Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston told the newspaper.

.Our investigation has shown that Mr. Lopez wrote the letter himself and made false statements to the police and on social media,. Edmiston wrote. .The end result is a verbal and written admission by Mr. Lopez that the letter was fabricated..

It’s a legitimate hate crime and I think he should be hanged for it together with all the other Not-Sees. Or in his case, Cannot-Unsee-s.

He said the case would be forwarded to the Umatilla County District Attorney’s office for review for initiating a false report, a Class A misdemeanor in Oregon.

Lopez shared a picture of the letter to his Facebook page and has since deleted it. .Don’t waste your time trying to become anything in this county,. it said. .[W]e will make sure you never win and your family suffers along with all the other f.king Mexicans in the area!.

In his comments on the purported hate mail, Lopez claimed that he “holds no resentment for whomever wrote this..

It’s true!

.I.m just simply heartbroken for the lack of knowledge, education, and respect missing,. he stated. .I pray for you and wish you prosperity in your life..

Sounds legit. If I had his level of self-respect… falsifying a hate crime against myself because nobody liked me enough to give me the worldly power I deserve more than the natives… I’d be heartbroken, too. Not to mention his “knowledge” suggesting he could possibly get away with this.

Lopez lost a primary election for a seat on the Umatilla County Board of Commissioners in May 2020.

Attempts by The Associated Press to reach Lopez were not successful. He told the East Oregonian that he meant to speak with Edmiston about racism in Umatilla County and use the letter as an example of the type of racism people experience.

Pathological liar confirmed, no need for face reading.

 

Behold Missouri’s first post-police application of law enforcement! *popcorn*

19-Year-Old Allegedly Beaten at St. Louis MetroLink Station While Unarmed Guards Watched

https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2020/07/04/9-year-old-allegedly-beaten-at-st-louis-metrolink-station-while-unarmed-guards-watched/

By Katherine Rodriguez, 4 July 2020

Breitbart, I know you’re all lawyered up for obvious reasons but when the beating was captured on camera you can drop the “alleged”.

A 19-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted and beaten by another woman at the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Station in St. Louis, Missouri, on Thursday.

CATFIGHT!!! Yee-haw!

Not only did bystanders refuse to intervene during the attack; two unarmed security guards patrolling the area did nothing to help the situation either, KTVI reported.

The incident is under investigation by the Bi-State Development Agency, but an early conclusion from the investigation was that the guards should have done more to help.

Dalrock’s Law: “Feminism is the assertion that men are evil and naturally want to harm women, followed by pleas to men to solve all of women’s problems.”

Yes, the guards being paid minimum wage to be bored, legally neutered crime deterrents should have risked their lives during a POC-alypse to interrupt what, for all they knew, was a civil-rights-protected expression of love between two POC lesbians.

Metro President and CEO Taulby Roach said the guards, who are not armed, should have de-escalated the situation and will likely need further training.

There is no evil in socialism. There is only “insufficient education”.

Bi-State Commissioner Derrick Keith Cox said the problem is the agency paid a million dollars to receive bad advice on how to make the public transportation system safer.

After this story will be the corruption story that is motivating Cox to say what he just did in that paragraph.

Meanwhile, choose your doom, President “Roach”:

A. Replace the guards with small, female, nonthreatening counselors who update their Woke psychological theories more frequently than Windows 10. Watch in horror as they “present themselves” to avoid getting killed like women have done since cavemen were grabbing ponytails.

B. Allow all white men to carry firearms and redefine manslaughter to “post-natal abortion”.

C. Train & equip the guards to actually fight crime and pay them enough to risk their lives on behalf of ungrateful random strangers. Maybe give them badges after they swear oaths to protect and defend.

One of the suggestions they received from that study was to take away guns from security guards and only arm police officers.

Might as well, if they won’t be allowed to use them. It’s the same reason that I 1. don’t carry concealed and 2. intend to watch passively the next time Diversity climbs up somebody’s vulnerable ass.

Cox said with that put into practice, the gun ban leaves guards with very little to protect themselves or anyone else. Roach, however, said that guns in a situation like this would have made it worse.

Pay a gorilla like me $50 per hour and let us use batons carte-blanche, and we will be like a cleansing wave of crime-Febreze over your transportation network.

Gun-free zones or areas where there is no armed law enforcement in place can cause a spike in violent crime. Orlando’s “Pulse” gay bar was a mandated gun-free zone by state law, yet it was home to one of the deadliest mass shootings in this country’s history.

A 2019 study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) showed that 89 percent of mass shootings in the 21st century took place in gun-free zones.

Interesting that they pulled the Pulse shooting out of thin air. The link that probably motivated that is coming up.

Meanwhile, I’m hearing a lot of support for my Plan “B”.

Here are the guards. Stock uniforms costing $15 apiece at:

It seems that St Louis Metrolink has implement new security arrangements and/or leaderships in August 2018, August 2019, December 2019 and March 2020. Here’s a pic; you get one guess who is the constant between all the transition teams.

Physiognomy first impressions: The white-shirts are smiling only because they’re supposed to, Grey Suit is out of his depth and Meltface in the black suit is the CEO and a male feminist.

Seriously, look at Grey Suit. His coat isn’t even buttoned right. Who wears a suit without a tie? I once wore socks with sandals and I know better than to wear a suit with no tie.

*checks* I’m having trouble identifying most of them, high turnover in Metrolink management doesn’t help, but “Meltface” Taulby Roach is indeed President and CEO of Bi-State Development.

Let’s look at the context of Metro security.

‘We Had To Do Better’: Metro Transit Leaders Discuss New Security Strategy

https://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/we-had-do-better-metro-transit-leaders-discuss-new-security-strategy

By Evie Hemphill, 4 March 2020

Ideally dated.

Taulby Roach has made the safety of the St. Louis region’s transit system a major focus since becoming president and CEO of Bi-State Development 14 months ago. Just last week, he and other area leaders gathered to mark the culmination of two years of study and planning aimed at improving safety on buses and light rail lines. They touted the creation of a four-prong “systemwide security strategy” aimed at reducing “the rate and perception of crime” on transit, among other commitments.

Bi-State also recently selected private security firm GS4 for a three-year contract, and has a new plan in place for a bigger police presence on MetroLink, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

“There’s no question that in a public asset like this, what I need is engagement and people who care about it, and what we’d been hearing for months is that we had to do better,. Roach said. .So really, the tasking was clear [when I took over]. And so I tried to bring some clarity to that tasking and [to] rally our forces and work with, of course, our colleagues and to do a better job. We’re on the precipice of that, and I’m really excited about it..

Roach is undoubtedly a male feminist. Mass transit is not a public asset, particularly when people are afraid to use it for good & structural reasons, except to utopians who think heaven is forcing all the tribes and races of men into close proximity until they joyfully miscegenate into a brown goo with no history, culture or even identity to call their own.

Kevin Scott, director of public safety for Metro Transit, also participated in the conversation. He outlined the planned changes, which he summed up as a strategy of “staunch collaboration..

.We.ve taken a look along with our partners . police partners and all of our stakeholders . at what can we do to make the system better. And what people really want to see on our system is a visible security component that positively engages our ridership to ensure the quality of that ride..

Security guard concierges? Okay but then they won’t be bouncers or coolers.

When Fenske asked what that will look like, Scott described it as .a layered approach, where you have a solid visible layer of contract security..

.The Metro Transit security specialists will be the core of that layer and represent the brand and corporate interests,. he said. “And then you have the law enforcement component.

.And so what we’ve done in devising this new deployment is we’ve focused on what our clear roles and responsibilities are. So everybody’s not going to be policing the system. The two major visible components of the layered security approach will be securing the system, and we’ll work more collaboratively with the police to actually police that system when we need to bring them in..

Roach got his “visible security component”, trained to “positively engage our ridership” despite the handicap of face masks blocking the expression of emotion… and now they’re complaining that that their carnival-style “ride quality” operators weren’t operators in the paramilitary sense.

G4S Secure Solutions is based in Florida but owned by a Danish company… your basic globocorp conglomerate setup. Interesting, the Pulse Shooter mentioned above was a G4S security guard whose company had falsified his psychiatric records.

Omar Mateen’s driver license photo. An excellent example of sanpaku eyes indicating derangement.

Segue

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4S_Secure_Solutions

Under Florida state law, for him to work as an armed guard the company was required either to make a full psychiatric evaluation of Mateen, or to administer a “validated written psychological test”. The test administered was the updated Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), a test used for job screenings and court cases requiring those subjected to it to agree or disagree with statements such as “My soul sometimes leaves my body” and “Once in a while I think of things too bad to talk about.” Carol Nudelman, the psychologist listed on the character certification submitted by G4S to the state said she stopped working for the company in 2005 and denies ever having met him.

G4S said Mateen was not interviewed by a psychologist, but rather, a psychologist evaluated the results of a standard test used in job screenings, and his test was evaluated by the firm that bought Nudelman’s practice: Headquarters for Psychological Evaluation, owned by Dr Joanne Bauling. G4S said this was a “clerical error.”

On September 10, 2016, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services fined G4S $151,400 for providing inaccurate psychological testing information after it found the psychologist whose opinion was necessary to permit Mateen to carry a weapon was not practicing as a screener. Between 2006 and 2016, 1,514 forms were submitted erroneously listing Nudelman’s name. Mateen’s form was among those investigated.

The company was unaware of Mateen’s sealed and expunged juvenile arrest record for misdemeanor battery. Although they verified his employment they took Mateen at his word that he was fired as a Florida corrections trainee for failing to report due to a fever. He was actually dismissed for skipping classes, falling asleep in class, and asking two days after the Virginia Tech shooting if a classmate would tell if he brought a gun to class. Also during his time as a trainee, a fellow trainee said he threatened to kill everyone at a barbecue after his hamburger touched a piece of pork, and he was escorted from the property.

I did not know that about the Pulse shooter. Anyway, this has nothing to do with the St. Louis guards who prudently did nothing while enjoying two black chicks fighting to exhaustion for the amusement of all.

End segue.

On to the corruption backstory.

Despite opposition, Bi-State CEO gets OK to negotiate a possible takeover of troubled Loop Trolley

https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/despite-opposition-bi-state-ceo-gets-ok-to-negotiate-a-possible-takeover-of-troubled-loop/article_01c348a1-8600-5feb-927b-dff44d8907c7.html

By Nassim Benchaabane, 11 December 2019

ST. LOUIS . The executive board of Bi-State Development voted Tuesday, despite fierce opposition, to negotiate a possible takeover of the financially strapped Loop Trolley.

The trolley opened in November 2018 after years of construction and delays. Since then, ticket sales and farebox revenue have lagged significantly as the line operated on a limited-hours, four-day-a-week schedule with just two of its three cars in service.

The 2.2-mile streetcar line… is set to close Dec. 29 after a series of operational and financial setbacks. Operators say more funding is needed to keep the trolley open until spring, when they hope all three cars could provide full seven-day service.

This has every sign of a pork-barrel project. Government-orchestrated “community infrastructure” built too slowly after extensive cost overruns requiring even more money… usually debt instruments and/or earmarked Federal funds… and once it’s built and opened, nobody wants it. The smart move is to shut it down but that would be unacceptable because:

CEO Taulby Roach pitched operating the trolley for the next four years with nearly $1.1 million left over from federal grants, and said he had preliminary approval from federal transit officials.

Closure could mean defaulting on some of the $36 million in federal aid that was part of the $51 million needed to build the line and make related street improvements. Roach said default would jeopardize Bi-State.s ability to secure federal transit dollars in the future.

.Being known as a region that does not have the political will to complete projects is a very damaging assessment,. Roach told the board.

Such pure motivations. This is all about milking public funds to the maximum extent possible.

The Bi-State board, which governs MetroLink and Metro buses, voted 6-3 to approve Roach’s request and have him return to the board by February with a more detailed proposal to take over the trolley from its nonprofit operator, the Loop Trolley Co.

Roach had planned to submit the preliminary report to the board in a closed session, following advice from the board’s legal counsel, but the board voted to keep the discussion open to the public after fervent opposition from board members Justin Zimmerman and Derrick Cox.

I like Bi-State Commissioner Derrick Cox. He started out a local radio personality.

The pair, two of the board’s five members representing Illinois, and board Vice Chairwoman Aliah Holman, of St. Louis, voted against the takeover. They said Bi-State should focus on MetroLink security, route expansions, staff pay and other issues.

.This is not something that we have been asked for by the general public and yet there are so many things we have been asked for by the general public,. Holman said.

Cox said St. Clair County residents wouldn’t want Bi-State tax dollars to go toward a project in University City, and doubted a trolley shutdown would affect Bi-State.s federal funding.

.That.s just a hypothetical out there to get us to say yes,. he said.

Roach said St. Louis County Executive Sam Page, St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson and St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern asked him to examine a takeover, if it could be done without additional local funding.

Translation, it’s an excuse to import earmark Federal dollars.

.I think it really deserves close study,. Kern said. .We are a region and while we certainly expect our friends in Missouri to think regionally when they look at issues, we must do the same things for them..

Page said he would keep an eye on the negotiations. Krewson, through a spokesman, called it a “positive step..

Remember that Roach’s allies are Mayor Krewson and Executive Page. Note that Krewson is mayor of St. Louis, Missouri, but Kern’s county is in Illinois. This is hella suspicious. This corruption could go Federal.

On Tuesday, Roach said the Loop Trolley needed about $240,000 more a year to operate. The estimate included conservative predictions about Loop Trolley ridership and a full service schedule that would help integrate it into the region’s transit system. He said he hoped more funding for the trolley would be generated over time from increased tickets, fares and revenues from the special sales tax district that helped fund the line’s construction.

No, no, no! Shut ‘er down, Clancy, she’s pumping mud!

Roach, Krewson, Page, businessman Joe Edwards and University City Mayor Terry Crow comprise the sales tax district’s board. Roach said Tuesday that he would resign from the board if Bi-State takes over the Loop Trolley.

And on THAT final note… one month later…

You Paid For It: Bi-State CEO discusses allegation of conflict of interest over bail out of Loop Trolley

You Paid For It: Bi-State CEO discusses allegation of conflict of interest over bail out of Loop Trolley

By Elliot Davis, 21 January 2020

ST. LOUIS . You Paid For It Investigator Elliott Davis catches up with Bi-State President/CEO Taulby Roach to question him about accusations of conflict of interest [in his negotiations over the Delmar Loop Trolley].

Roach is advocating bailing out the Loop Trolley that’s stopped running because of money woes and because of low ridership.

But some Bi-State Commissioners didn’t learn until a recent meet that the CEO not only runs Bi-State but he also sits on the Loop Trolley Board of Directors. Mayor Lyda Krewson and County Executive Sam Page are also on the Trolley Board and have advocated saving it.

Remember Roach’s allies? The members of the Trolley Board are trying to steal, er, “appropriate” funds from other budgets to finance their brand-new-yet-failed side project.

CEO Roach says he recuses himself when it comes to voting on issues involving the Trolley. He also says he’s checked with lawyers and they’ve given him the all-clear.

If you need lawyers to review your behavior for criminal activity…

But St. Louis County Councilman Ernie Trakas says he doesn’t like the looks of this deal where Taulby Roach is wearing two hats, one as head of Bi-State and the other as a board member of the Loop Trolley.

He says it looks like a conflict of interest.

It *is* a conflict of interest. Who is Roach’s lawyer, Saul Goodman?

Roach had a new announcement about his new plan for the Loop Trolley. His first plan called for Bi-State to take over, own and run the Loop Trolley. Now he says Bi-State would just manage the trolley for 4 years.

“I didn’t do anything wrong but now that you noticed, I’ll scale back my plans.”

Bi-State Commissioner Derrick Keith Cox who didn’t like the first plan texted Elliott tonight saying he didn’t like the second one either.

The Bi-State Board of Directors will meet Friday morning to talk about whether to bail out the Delmar Loop Trolley.

Definitely some friction between Cox and Roach. Good on Cox!

The ultimate fate of the Trolley hasn’t been determined. No doubt that the Wuhan Whoop lockdowns put it on indefinite hold.

Okay, fine, it’s yet another portrait of Democrat corruption. Why care? If you listen to the linked video, after the attack video is played Cox is shown demanding answers from G4S and… from Roach. It was real quick, at the 1:33 mark. He’s leveraging the incident against a known Corruptocrat.

I am not amused. Glad I am that Cox is fighting corruption but blaming security guards for not doing what they were told to not do is also dishonest. They’re going to get fired for being put in a no-win scenario. Were they supposed to be nice or violent?

This is what happens when you do evil that good may result.

 

How typical… so tiresomely typical… that modern Christianity can’t pass up any chance for a guilt trip. I’ll spice it up by channeling George Orwell. To misquote a truism, 1984 is now.

Evangelical scholars sign statement condemning racism as ‘contrary to Scripture’

https://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelical-scholars-sign-statement-condemning-racism-as-contrary-to-scripture.html

Two dozen evangelical scholars have released a joint statement condemning racism as “contrary to the evangelical Gospel” and acknowledging the realities of racism that existed throughout evangelical history.

Racism meaning white privilege or racism meaning the idea that God made different races of men with different capabilities and tendencies? Were two dozen scholars insufficient to clarify this?

The new “Evangelical Statement on the Gospel and Racism” was released Monday as nationwide protests continue in the wake of the killing of African American George Floyd in Minnesota and just days after the controversial killing of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta, Georgia, by a police officer.

.Today.s situation requires more than a statement, but certainly no less than a statement,. the document reads. “As evangelical academic voices, we condemn racism as contrary to Scripture and to the evangelical gospel..

I’ve said it before, these people have found a new Gospel and it isn’t Christ’s.

The statement originates from members of the Evangelical Theological Society’s executive committee, according to David Dockery, president of the International Alliance for Christian Education.

He has that nervous smile common to Churchian leaders, less “I’m feeling well” and more “please don’t hurt me”. Dockery has also been affiliated with the Gospel Coalition.

ETS was founded in 1949 and serves as a professional association of scholars, teachers, pastors and students dedicated to the written expression of theological thought and research.

“In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane.” -Orwell

The statement explains that while evangelical history includes “many positive voices for justice,. such as slave trade abolitionist William Wilberforce, the history also includes “negatively those who assimilated the values of their surrounding unjust culture..

Wilberforce is the patron saint of Churchianity, a white man who stood up for Negro empowerment before doing so was cool. Anytime you hear an “evangelical scholar” mention Wilberforce, know that accusing him of being racist will make him cry.

According to organizers, the effort’s mission is to .listen, mourn, speak, and act in accordance with the gospel in our own lives, in our institutions, in our churches, and in our communities..

“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.” -Orwell

.As we grieved over recent events in our communities, we realized that although a statement is insufficient, it is necessary,. a website created to host the statement online, which went live on Monday, reads. .We are compelled to declare that the Gospel stands opposed to racism, and so, too, must people of the Gospel..

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” -Orwell

The statement was signed by Evangelical Theological Society President and Asbury Theological Seminary Biblical Studies Professor Craig Keener, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Theology Professor Gregg Allison and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Al Mohler, who also serves as ETS president-elect and program chair.

The usual suspects.

SBC.s flagship seminary, SBTS in Louisville, Kentucky, released a report in 2018 detailing the school’s history of racism and past support for slavery. At the time, Mohler called for the institution to “repent of our own sins” and offer “full lament” for the inherited legacy.

Other signatories include Paul W. Powell, the endowed chair in preaching at Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University; Vincent Bacote, associate professor of theology at Wheaton College; and Darrell Bock, a senior research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary.

As of Tuesday, over 150 people have signed on to the statement.

Thus proving that the organized Church is dead… but you already knew this.

The document declares that the Gospel calls on everyone to “come to God on the same terms” and “and become one body in Christ..

.In reconciling, Jew and Gentile in Christ (Eph 2:16), surmounting a barrier that God himself once established, God in Christ summons us to surmount every barrier erected merely by human sinfulness,. the statement explains.

What the…

“SURMOUNTING A BARRIER THAT GOD HIMSELF ONCE ESTABLISHED“?!?

Feckless hypocrites!

.Scripture does not discriminate by color, and, on the most common understanding of Acts 8, the first Gentile convert may have been Black and from Africa..

Snicker. “Scripture doesn’t see color and Scripture says the first convert was a Black!”

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” -Orwell

The statement adds that Jesus was, both by His example and His teaching, summoning Christians to “serve and love fellow believers to the point of laying down our lives for them” and “to love all our neighbors as ourselves..

Double miss. The Christian’s goal is Christ, not his “community of fellow believers”, and how I wish the police would let me love others as much as myself. For example, I have no fear of COVID-19.

.This invites us to be swifter to listen to others than to speak (Eph 4:29; Jms 1:19), to mourn with those who suffer (Rom 12:15), and to join them in acting for justice on their behalf (Isa 1:17; Luke 11:42; Jms 1:27),. the statement concludes.

You ivory tower navel-gazers don’t have shit to say because you failed to notice that Black Looters Mobbing is a terrorist group destroying America’s past in the name of an unrepentant drug dealer. You’re the scum who STILL want Barabbas freed even before the mob demanded your cooperation.

According to Dockery, Keener did most of the “heavy lifting” when it came to creating the statement. However, he stressed that the rest of the signatories “offered suggestions and encouragement..

I posted the full, intact statement at the end. Feel free to notice all the “heavy lifting” that went into it.

.We believe the statement is timely and important, expressing our longing and hope for racial reconciliation in the church and in society,. Dockery, who also serves as chancellor of Trinity International University in Illinois, wrote in an email to The Christian Post. .We trust the statement will be helpful in that regard in the days to come..

The best path to reconciliation is “good fences make good neighbors” not “all whites must wash the feet of all blacks because some of their ancestors mistreated other peoples’ ancestors”.

The new statement comes as several church bodies have issued statements on race in the U.S. in the last several weeks following the controversial deaths of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and most recently, Brooks.

Additionally, several well-known Christian pastors and speakers have participated in demonstrations following the death of Floyd.

Two Sundays ago, Texas megachurch pastor Matt Chandler issued harsh words for the Church during his sermon. After the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Chandler argues that the Church has largely “refused to participate” when it comes to speaking out about racial issues.

It was called Separation of Church and State. Matt’s predecessors couldn’t abdicate their Christian responsibilities to the State fast enough.

Are empty pews emboldening Woke clergy to drop their masks?

.[N]ow one of the things that has happened is the Church, by and large, has refused to participate, which means that we have turned over . God help us . we have turned over what is our inheritance to dark ideologies,. Chandler argued.

.You don’t just preach the Gospel on sex trafficking. You don’t just preach the Gospel on the issue of life and abortion. No, you act,. Chandler added. .It’s like this brain-broke disjoint that’s got us acting absurd and then critiquing this [racial justice] movement as being evil and dark when we have given up our inheritance!.

Chandler doesn’t ACT hard enough to put hats on the church ladies. He chose instead to courageously appease the braying mobs.

I excrete more nobility after Chili Night than these perfumed princes have ever known.

Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear recently called on the denomination to stop opening its annual meetings with a gavel that carries the name of John Broadus, a 19th-century Southern Baptist leader who was a slaveholder.

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” -Orwell

On that note, Broadus wasn’t just a leader, he was a co-founder of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Also a chaplain in the Confederate Army, he owned two slaves then repudiated slavery in 1882 per wikipedia. Hardly a plantation owner with a whip.

Greear.s North Carolina-based Summit Church recently released a statement lamenting the death of Arbery, a 25-year-old African American shot by a white man in Georgia while on a jog.

Correction, a 25-year-old Dindu Muffin shot while resisting arrest by the ex-cop who prosecuted him for previous crimes prior to retirement. Did Greear look into the case at all before jumping in?

How is Greear going to stop being racist when he constantly raises awareness of peoples’ races?

.The fight for racial justice is one God himself began as far back as Genesis 12 when he promised to reunite the ethnically diverse and contentious world through Abraham,. the Summit Church Committee on Oneness and Reconciliation said. .It is a fight whose victory is promised in Scripture’s final chapters, where we see the multiethnic restoration of all nations, tribes, peoples, and languages (Revelation 7:9.10). Most importantly, it is a fight made possible by the gospel: Racial reconciliation is an inevitable fruit of the gospel of reconciliation..

Abraham? Racial reconciliation? Genesis 24:3-4, Abraham speaks to his chief of staff: “I want you to swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac..

Abraham was the first recorded failure of Magic Dirt in written history.

The National Association of Evangelicals, a network with over 40,000 member churches worldwide, released a statement on May 29 lamenting “the recurring trauma experienced by African Americans..

.We condemn racism and the violent abuse of power, call for justice for victims and their families, and exhort churches to combat attitudes and systems that perpetuate racism,. the NAE stressed. .We are grateful for law enforcement officers who honorably serve and protect our communities, and urge our members to uphold them in prayer..

“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” -Orwell

Lastly, here’s the promised statement in full. Behold heavy lifting!

A Statement on Racism and the Gospel

https://www.evangelicalstatement.com/

Today.s situation requires more than a statement, but certainly no less than a statement. As evangelical academic voices, we condemn racism as contrary to Scripture and to the evangelical gospel. Evangelical history includes positively many voices for justice and pioneers of abolitionism, such as William Wilberforce, but also negatively those who assimilated the values of their surrounding unjust culture. Yet the basis of evangelical faith is Scripture, climaxing in the good news of Jesus Christ.

In this gospel, everyone must come to God on the same terms (Rom 1:16; 3:22-24; 10:12-13; Gal 3:28; Rev 5:9; 7:9), and become one body in Christ (Rom 12:4-5; 1 Cor 12:12-13; Eph 4:4; Col 3:15).

In reconciling Jew and Gentile in Christ (Eph 2:16), surmounting a barrier that God himself once established, God in Christ summons us to surmount every barrier erected merely by human sinfulness.

Scripture does not discriminate by color, and, on the most common understanding of Acts 8, the first Gentile convert may have been Black and from Africa.

Jesus, both by his example and by his teaching, summons us to serve and love fellow believers to the point of laying down our lives for them (John 13:14-17, 34-35; 1 John 3:16-18), and to love all our neighbors as ourselves (Lev 19:18; Mark 12:31; Rom 13:8-10; Gal 5:14).

This invites us to be swifter to listen to others than to speak (Eph 4:29; Jms 1:19), to mourn with those who suffer (Rom 12:15), and to join them in acting for justice on their behalf (Isa 1:17; Luke 11:42; Jms 1:27).

 

Many people have recently purchased their first firearm. Welcome into the fold! but for the love of your souls and your insurance premiums, spend a day or two at the range as quickly as you can before carrying a firearm into high-risk situations. This tale of a Nashville liquor store owner is full of learning experiences.

htt ps://heavy.com/news/2020/06/may-boyce/

A Southern lady to judge from the hair and eyeglass style, although I knew that before the reading. Bulbous nose can indicate interest in wealth. I’m not sure about the rest of her face because of her advanced age. Ashes to ashes and faces to raisins.

May Bell Boyce is the 88-year-old Tennessee liquor store owner charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after police said she shot a man she believed was trying to rob the store. The man, identified as Ramon Fisher, was hit in the back but was expected to recover, Nashville Police said.

According to the criminal affidavit obtained by Heavy, Fisher initially admitted to police that he had intended to steal liquor from Murfreesboro Road Liquor and Wines on June 16. But he changed his statement the following day and insisted that he was going to pay for the alcohol.

Black Losers don’t Matter.

Boyce was released on a $10,000 bond and was due back in court on June 29.

The confrontation at Boyce’s liquor store happened around 8:30 p.m. on June 16. According to the affidavit, Boyce told investigators that two Black men entered the store and first walked to the back of the store where the vodka was stored. She said one of the men then approached her at the counter “in such a manner that she felt they were going to steal from her.” The report does not provide additional details about why Boyce arrived at that conclusion.

Boyce said she grabbed her gun, which was wrapped in cloth, and placed it next to the register.

Get a holster, new handgun owners. If you are going to use your handgun from any position except the marital bed then a holster is really, really nice. It also protects against the temptation to stick a handgun in the waistband of your underwear. If you aren’t already female then that’s a good way to become one. Also, femoral artery so ladies aren’t off the hook, either.

May is lucky she had a sales counter to stash the gun. Even so, having it lie around where it could conceivably be grabbed by an attacker is not optimal.

She told police one of the men, who has not been identified, asked her for brown liquor. The shooting victim, identified as Ramon Fisher, picked up two bottles. Boyce explained that Fisher’s demeanor led her to believe he was going to steal the two liquor bottles.

She moved to the opening of the counter to face Fisher. Boyce claimed Fisher then “lunged towards her in a manner that made her think that he might push her down” before running toward the store’s exit.

Boyce told police that as Fisher moved toward the exit, she picked up her gun and stepped out from the counter. According to the affidavit, she thinks she yelled at him to “Stop” but she wasn’t positive about that.

Boyce said she aimed the gun at the floor in his direction and pulled the trigger. But instead of shooting the ground, Fisher was hit in the back. The affidavit states Fisher yelled out that he had been shot and fell into a stack of bottles. The second man grabbed Fisher and helped him out the door.

The gun Boyce used was a .38 Smith & Wesson snub-nose revolver, Fox News reported. She told the New York Post she hadn’t meant to shoot Fisher but wanted only to scare him. She added that she had never fired a weapon before.

That’s the worst mistake a new gun owner can make. No experienced owner would use a firearm for self-defense that he’d never test-fired at the range. A gun owner who had NEVER fired ANY firearm before using it for armed self-defense? She literally didn’t know what she was doing. I believe her story but accidentally shooting him in the back while he ran away is how May got charged for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

I think she’ll be fine; no jury will put Grandma in the slammer for a decade. Probably she’ll be charged with misdemeanor assault and pay a fine. What a surprise that a warning shot didn’t work out the way she intended.

Which is another learning experience. Don’t fire warning shots. Ever. If bad guys aren’t scared by the mere sight of your revolver then it’s killing time, not “endangering the general public” time.

Boyce did not express remorse for shooting Fisher in an interview with the New York Post and insisted that she simply did what she “had to do.” She told the newspaper her store has been robbed several times in the past few years and she is “fed up” with feeling afraid.

But she *did* talk to the media in the aftermath. Don’t EVER do that. The media are not your friends, now that you’re a gun-carrying member of the Deplorables. The police are entitled to a statement, at least after you’ve calmed down and ideally have a lawyer present, but media are not.

She explained to the Post: “I hope word gets out on the street that I’m fed up and I’m not taking it anymore. You’ve got to stick up for yourself sometimes. After you’ve been played for a fool by people stealin. from you for years, you get fed up. And don’t put me in the category of a little old lady. I know how to take care of myself.”

Feisty!

A friend of Boyce’s named Carson Burch defended her on Facebook as a “sweet old lady who minds her own business.” Burch claimed Boyce was assaulted when her store was robbed two months prior and that she wears a brace on her wrist as a result of the injury.

Another reason I expect she’ll be okay.

Ramon Fisher admitted that he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he entered Boyce’s liquor store on June 16, according to the criminal affidavit. He was taken to Vanderbilt Hospital after the shooting and that’s where detectives interviewed him. The affidavit notes that Fisher “was already on medications” when police arrived to get his statement.

Yet another reason I expect she’ll be okay.

Fisher told the investigators he had been using cocaine and alcohol that day. He also confessed that he and his friends entered Boyce’s store with the goal of stealing liquor. .He stated that in the attempt to steal from Mrs. Boyce, she shot him once in the back..

But Fisher provided a different account when detectives followed up with him the next day. In the second interview, Fisher denied planning to steal the alcohol and insisted that he and his friend were going to pay for it. He identified the second man only by a nickname, .One Eye.. Fisher also denied running toward the exit.

One-Eye: “Hey, um, how about you steal the beer this time?”

Ramon: “Sure. What could go wrong?”

One-Eye: “Yeah, man, that’s what I said.”

 

This isn’t the day that basic math will save your life, but it is a day that basic math will explain the otherwise curious behavior of Los Angeles’ Sheriff Villanueva.

LA County Sheriff to Increase Concealed Permit Issuance by 400 Percent

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/24/la-county-sheriff-to-increase-concealed-permit-issuance-by-400-percent/

By Awr Hawkins, 24 June 2020

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva revealed Wednesday his plans to increase the issuance of concealed carry permits by 400 percent.

Wow! 400 Percent! That’s a lot! I would not have expected that from a hardline liberal who’d just freed a lot of inmates… to get shot en flagrante? Is he black-knighting or something?

Getting a concealed carry permit in L.A. County has been difficult in past years, regardless of the sheriff in charge.

On February 14, 2013, Breitbart News reported that the carry permits may have been disproportionately given to friends and donors of Sheriff Lee Baca.

LA Weekly noted that people securing the hard-to-come-by permits included:

Emerson Glazer: the son of the man who developed the Del Amo Fashion Center mall in Torrance, gave Baca “basketball tickets and gift baskets..
Stan Shuster: the owner of a cigar room, gave Baca “shirts and golf balls..
Michael Yamaki: .is among Baca’s best friends..
George Chilingar: gave Baca $750 worth of Persian rugs.
Hollywood producer Arnold Kopelson: .gave Baca ballet tickets in 2004.
Singer James Darren: .gave Baca some CDs and a photograph..
Jeweler Nagapet Boyadgian: .gave Baca a $500 contribution in 2010..
Arthur Kassel: .hosted a birthday party for Baca..

On December 26, 2017, Breitbart News reported that an audit by the California State Auditor showed there were only 197 concealed carry permit holders in Los Angeles county. At that time the county had a population of 10.2 million, and only 197 of those residents were permitted to carry a handgun for self-defense.

I remember Baca as being pay-to-play corrupt but not actively treasonous.

Wait a minute. 197 CCW permits… 400 percent more… is… 985 CCW permits in a city of 10,200,000. That’s not enough permits even for all the atheist Jew Hollywood millionaires in Los Angeles. Bodyguard Lives Matter!

But in the current climate, where residents feel endangered in their neighborhoods and where rioters set fire to police vehicles in the street, Sheriff Villanueva is making clear he plans on increasing the issuance of concealed carry permits.

The current climate of lawlessness has nothing to do with his decision. Make it 500,000% more CCW permits (total of 985k) and then we’ll be talking.

Fox LA.s Bill Melugin tweeted: .L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said he expects to begin increasing the amount of concealed carry permits he issues by as much as 400%. CCWs are notoriously difficult to obtain in LA..

Return to your lives, citizens. Nothing has changed.

 

Social distancing is inhuman. It’s the malicious banning of all human contact by government edict, and the quiet acceptance of it probably did much to embolden America’s current Red Dawn. Here’s your checklist for determining whether you can dare to risk giving your father a hug on Father’s Day:

Can you visit your dad safely on Father’s Day? A doctor gives you a checklist

https://theconversation.com/can-you-visit-your-dad-safely-on-fathers-day-a-doctor-gives-you-a-checklist-140678

By Lynne Anderson, 17 June 2020

[EDIT: actually by Claudia Finkelstein. Lynne’s picture remains below for continuity with comments.]

I bet she was pretty before the stresses of med school got to her.

As a physician, daughter and socially responsible human, I’m finding Father’s Day to be complicated for me this year, as it is for millions.

It’s not complicated. He’s your father and you, “as a physician”, surely know how to not spread disease during a visit.

Questions of whether and how to see my adult children and my own elderly father present medical and ethical quandaries. As an associate professor of family medicine with a focus on wellness, I’d like to share with you my thinking about this using some tools to aid discernment as Father’s Day approaches.

Wouldn.t it be great if choosing time with parents or offspring were ever an easy decision to make?

Good news! It is! And if the government decrees differently then it still is!

However, the answer is rarely that simple. This year, in the midst of a global pandemic and the need to continue to practice social distancing as states loosen stay-at-home guidelines, the decision is even more complex than usual.

Segue

Is there any science behind two-metre social distancing rule.? Government adviser says guidelines on keeping apart was ‘conjured out of nowhere’

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8256109/Social-distancing-two-metres-apart-based-figure-says-government-adviser.html

Social distancing orders for people to keep two metres apart to stop the spread of coronavirus is not based on any scientific research, a government adviser has said.

Robert Dingwall, from the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said the rule was ‘conjured up out of nowhere’. …

Mr Dingwall told Radio 4’s Today: ‘We cannot sustain [social distancing measures] without causing serious damage to society, to the economy and to the physical and mental health of the population.

‘I think it will be much harder to get compliance with some of the measures that really do not have an evidence base. I mean the two-metre rule was conjured up out of nowhere.’

He added: ‘Well there is a certain amount of scientific evidence for a one-metre distance which comes out of indoor studies in clinical and experimental settings.

‘There’s never been a scientific basis for two metres, it’s kind of a rule of thumb. But it’s not like there is a whole kind of rigorous scientific literature that it is founded upon.’

The government put the UK on lockdown on March 23 and enforced social distancing to try to combat the spread of the virus which has killed nearly 20,000.

End segue

I have come up with a matrix to help you decide how to safely celebrate in a fact-based and safe manner. This matrix weighs the many factors to consider, specifically related to the pandemic.

Personal risk
Assessing your personal risk is one aspect of the matrix. Are you or is your father in a high-risk group? Presence of chronic disease or age over 65 are two major risks. You can check this Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chart for more specific details.

“Get away from me, Daddy! You’re too OLD!”

Besides your specific personal risks, are either of you in repeated contact with the public through your job? Did you participate in the protests or spend time in other crowded public events?

Even then, just wash your hands and don’t French-kiss him.

Are you symptomatic?

Duh.

Have you been exposed to a carrier? Are young children, who can be asymptomatic carriers, in the picture?

How do women end up like this? Acting as if kindness to family was a limited amount of currency to be hoarded?

If any of these questions is answered with a yes, it is certainly wise to forgo any thought of an in-person visit. If all are no, you can proceed to the next part of the matrix.

Where you live matters
Are you in a high-prevalence area for coronavirus or in a state with rising rates? If you are in a sparsely populated area with low regional prevalence, it makes more sense to consider an in-person visit than if you (or he) live in a place with a high number of cases or rising numbers of cases. Check your local prevalence here.

Your zip code doesn’t determine risk levels unless it’s a special case like NYC or SF. Those people don’t do anything without government approval anyway.

If neither of you is at elevated risk and you are not in an extremely high-prevalence area, the next question is: Can you see each other in person without violating any orders? Consult this link for reopening plans affecting your state.

This author is definitely a natural-born slave.

Remember that the U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico also have restrictions, including a self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving in Canada. Obviously, any need to travel and ability to quarantine must enter the matrix calculation.

That’s an entirely different checklist: “international travel restrictions”. Is this woman searching for reasons to avoid family?

Finally, can your in-person visit follow social distancing recommendations? Can you be six feet apart . ideally, outdoors . wash hands frequently and avoid physical contact? Remember, it may be tough not to hug, especially if you do decide to bring children.

If so, finally, you need to examine your own and your father’s risk tolerance. If either of you is extremely anxious, stick to virtual connection.

Love and gratitude, while ideally communicated in person, can still be expressed virtually or by phone.

Humans are a social species. We need to be around each other. America’s MDs are highly educated yet dangerously ignorant, if they don’t respect non-scientific matters such as the importance of human touch.

I cannot believe how many people can be told to end all human contact indefinitely and they not only do it, they go Karen on the people who insist on hugs and handshakes.

You may overtly acknowledge that the greater act of love for each other, as well as your community, is to stay home.

These days we have been asked to reexamine what “normal” looks like in so many ways.

NO WE DON’T! HUMAN NORMAL IS DEFINED BY GOD NOT THE HOMOPEDO GLOBALIST BUREAUCRACY!

The belief that human nature is “infinitely malleable” has been in the Communist Manifesto since its first edition. The core of every Communist revolution has been reinventing default human behavior away from Christ and towards the State.

As we see happening right now. Consult this checklist of government regulations for whether you can safely pay a visit to Dad on Father’s Day! “No symptoms” is no excuse!

Perhaps the increased opportunity for reflection afforded by the pandemic, as well as the restrictions imposed, will teach us to honor our loved ones in many small ways throughout the year. The gift of attention . by phone, email or snail mail . is always possible.

Translation, “you could just forget about Father’s Day entirely.” Sure, let’s make our holidays go away together with the statues marking our history. Everything but the globalist agenda is racist!

And remember that another holiday . July 4 . is just around the corner, and you will need to think about safety then, too.

She didn’t even try to call it “Independence Day”. That’s fine. She doesn’t know the meaning of the word.

The best way to say you care about your father is to say it in person.

Happy Father’s Day to all who are!

 

Like many people, the Socialists’ demands to eliminate police entirely have made me curious what they intend to replace them with. The 20th Century answer was “People’s Liberation Citizen Militia” but that obviously won’t be the fate of a society whose ‘firearms per household’ average can easily hit double digits.

It.s Time To Defund The Police And Start Funding Social Workers

.So far there have been zero deaths at the hands of social workers..

htt ps://www.huffpost.com/entry/defund-police-social-workers_n_5ee12d80c5b6d1ad2bd82777

By Sharon Kwon, 11 June 2020

Oh, the insolent ignorance of that tagline! This should be good.

Cries of “defund the police” and “invest in Black communities” have been heard throughout the nation, and most members of the Minneapolis City Council announced plans to defund that city’s police department over the weekend.

Many cities are following suit. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti cut $150 million . a relatively small amount . from the L.A. Police Department’s whopping $1.86 billion budget. The New York City Council is calling for a $1 billion cut to that city’s astronomical $6 billion police department budget.

I sense a trend.

But many advocates of the Black Lives Matter movement argue that this is not enough and that the goal is to abolish the police completely.

H/T Spawneyspace for those last two.

This raises the question of who would take their place. Activists have called for expanding initiatives to have mental health professionals and social workers respond to emergency calls instead of the police. For those who are completely oblivious to the public mental health system, this might sound like a radical concept.

We don’t have a public mental health system. All the insane asylums are closed. You liberals thought that would be a good idea. Now that even you have finally given up on it, you want to punish the sane people who’ve been holding back the tide of crazy.

Maybe people worship the devil because the only alternative is admitting their own screw-ups. The emphasis Christ places on confession and repentance gives that suggestion a lot of credibility.

But it’s actually not, given that social workers such as me are already doing this kind of work out in the field. We are on the front lines dealing with the homeless population, people suffering from substance abuse, clients who are predisposed to violence because of trauma histories, adolescents and young adults trapped in the criminal justice system, domestic violence victims and perpetrators, veterans with PTSD and more. These vulnerable people are arguably perceived as the most dangerous individuals in America . and social workers do this all without guns.

Um… none of that is POLICE WORK. Law enforcement, savvy? But all of it is care-based morality. Mommy caring for the kids, Mommy caring for hurting people, Mommy twerking for the drug dealer who keeps her safe and supplied in between the beatings that get her excited.

I’m a fan of this idea! It’s time to replace our SWAT teams with TWAT teams. Female social workers like Kwon should serve the next warrant on an MS-13 meth lab worker. No police backup. No right to self-defense. And if she comes out pregnant a couple days later, she gets imprisoned for raping the vibrant.

But we Red-Pilled know that that isn’t how it’s going to work. The likes of “Karen” Kwon here will snark arrogantly about how they can do law enforcement so much better, then they’ll cry for help because bad men are being mean to her!

Their replacement for police will be the White Knight Brigade.

I only recently began my career as a social worker…

…but already I know how the world should be run differently from the previous fifteen thousand years!

…but in the past two years, I’ve already worked with some of Los Angeles County’s most marginalized and disadvantaged folks of all ages, ethnicities and races.

In the first year of my field internship for my master’s degree program, I worked in the field and conducted home visits for homebound clients such as seniors and those who are physically or mentally disabled. I visited them in their homes in predominantly Black neighborhoods and investigated abuse allegations from Adult Protective Services by assessing them for signs of abuse and determining the safety of their environment.

NONE OF THAT IS POLICE WORK!!!

I helped them access resources such as food stamps, utilities assistance, rent assistance, employment, housing, mental health help . basically anything they needed to make their difficult lives just a little more comfortable.

Handing out taxpayer money, with the sole exception of getting a job. If God designed women to spend her man’s money then He did a truly awesome job of it!

I met my homeless clients on the streets or in coffee shops to help link them with housing and resources.

This is why I never use the bathrooms of coffee shops. Washing hands does nothing to prevent needle-stick incidents.

In California, social workers need 1,000 clinical field internship hours in order to graduate from a two-year master’s program. Then they need to complete 3,000 supervised clinical hours over the course of 104 weeks in order to test for their license.

By contrast, a prospective police officer in California needs just 664 hours of academy training (or roughly 16 40-hour weeks) and 14 weeks of field training.

Barbers, cosmetologists, interior designers, refrigeration technicians, electrical sign specialists and manicurists all require more hours of training than the police, according to CNN.

Liberals don’t want people to ever be fully trained because then the education-industrial complex can’t scam money off of them for training. Even worse, once graduates get into the real world they begin realizing that six years of post-high school education plus two full years of underpaid internships did nothing to prepare them for the actual job.

The basic police duty is restraining someone and hauling their meatsack to jail, plus filing the relevant paperwork. How much training does it really take to do that? Add in a fat book of what-if procedures, some First Responder training and How To Drive It Like You Stole It, and four months sounds about right.

Behold the glory of no rent-seeking middle management.

It’s a crime against the economy that jobs from barber to fridge tech need ANY licensing AT ALL. The ones who suck will simply go out of business… but the ones who don’t will be competition against the established outfits.

I learned to cut my own hair because a simple trim is now $25 in California. Bitter bitches finally achieved gender-equality in cosmetology without once realizing that I was going to go bald anyway. *bzzzt* I don’t need a beautician anymore.

In my role as a social worker, I’ve done things such as pick up and deliver furniture, clothes and medical supplies to homebound clients; drive clients to necessary appointments; mediate conflict among family members; diagnose and treat clients for mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, gender dysphoria or disruptive behavior; provide individual and family psychotherapy in English and Korean; develop individualized education plans with school administration; and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of medical professionals, mental health practitioners, law enforcement, lawyers, court officials, schools and community resources.

All pussy work. We liberated women to be anything they ever wanted to be, and they all want to care for the sick and keep a home in order.

Five minutes of trying to restrain George Floyd on his coke bender will shatter Kwon’s illusions AND her collarbones. It would be the righteous work of God to send her, unprotected, to die in the projects for what she believes.

I can’t believe what a sheltered life this twat is speaking from.

Social workers are already using “smart policing” techniques and providing preventive evidence-based interventions in marginalized communities . and all this with a fraction of the budget of the New York Police Department. We conduct regular home visits for homebound or high-needs clients to ensure they have the resources and services they need to survive and become contributing members of society.

AGAIN, police work is not about elderly shut-ins who need a ride to their job as a traumatized Walmart greeter.

The goal is to address the underlying cause of crime and violence before it becomes a bigger issue. This kind of evidence-based policing combines the science of controlling crime and disorder with the principles of community policing and problem-solving. Based on a social worker’s job description, we’re basically community police officers without guns.

This ignorant arrogance is going to get a lot of people killed.

But what if you find yourself in a dangerous situation and fear for your safety? Wouldn’t you want to call the cops? If the person that I’m fearing has a weapon, sure, I would want to call the cops. But if he’s unarmed (as were George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Michael Brown, Eric Garner . the list goes on), you.d be surprised at how many crises can be de-escalated without the use of guns or violence.

STOP RIGHT THERE, BARBIE! You don’t get to know in advance whether there’ll be a gun involved. You don’t get to pick and choose which emergency calls you answer. If you replace the police then YOU will go out there, without a gun… because guns kill people, sez you… and if the bad guy is armed then you ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE UP. You will correct his behavior, on site and in real time, and if a warm glass of milk doesn’t convince the armed robber to play nice then I’ll laugh at you suffering whatever he does to you. If it’s especially nasty then I’ll also upload it to youTube.

I had to de-escalate a crisis situation in my first few months as an intern at a community mental health agency. My client was erratic, emotionally unstable and expressed suicidal and homicidal ideation. I was scared, but I didn’t have to call the police. Instead, my supervisor came for back-up, and we calmly helped my client come to the realization that it would be in the client’s and family’s best interests if my client were to go to the hospital that night. My client ended up getting the medication that they needed at the hospital and has been doing great ever since.

HER SUPERVISOR de-escalated the situation and she claimed credit for it. Let’s see her try, own her own, with a “client” in the process of stealing her car.

In addition, I have colleagues who have experienced physical altercations out in the field, such as being placed in a brief chokehold by a homeless person on substances. I know applied behavior analyst therapists who have grown accustomed to getting objects thrown at them and getting bit by their young autistic clients.

She avoids the rough stuff then brags she don’t need no cops to protect her from the rough stuff.

So far there have been zero deaths at the hands of social workers. According to the numbers, social workers cause fewer deaths than cops, are less likely to exacerbate crisis situations with violence and do all of this work for way less pay than police.

Evil must be punished. She doesn’t grok that at all, either because she’s female and wired to care or because she was raised by atheists who believe there is no evil. With enough drugs, everybody will be happy!

I.m an immigrant, and a few years ago I officially got naturalized.

Go home, you foreigner. We got more than enough Commies already.

I raised my right hand and swore an oath that .I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.. I’ve been living and breathing this oath in my daily work as a social worker, advocating for America’s most vulnerable and neglected souls.

You broke your oath, bitch. You are an ally of the people destabilizing my society so they can get rid of the Constitution entirely. What, you thought those were empty words to be spoken like a magic spell? I doubt you ever respected the Constitution, let alone ever read it.

We need to change the way we think about mental health so that instead of just seeing a “crazy person” out on the street, we see a fellow American reaching out for help.

That “crazy person” just stole your bicycle and smartphone. What now, Barbie? Who you gonna call?

 

 

Crossfit CEO’s Greg Glassman ended his career, his franchise and his brand almost overnight by tweeting the deplorable words: “I’m sorry!”

Reebok Ends CrossFit Partnership After CEO Mocks ‘Racism Is a Public Health Issue’ Tweet

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/07/reebok-ends-crossfit-partnership-after-ceo-mocks-racism-is-a-public-health-issue-tweet/

By Robert Kraychik, 7 June 2020

Good for Greg; that was absolutely mock-able.

Haha!

Reebok, an apparel brand owned by Adidas, ended its business partnership with CrossFit following the fitness company’s CEO mocking a declaration of “racism” as “a public health issue.”

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, an organization located at the University of Washington and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, tweeted on Saturday that “racism is a public health issue.”

Fuck Reebok. They have no sense of humor and support filthy-rich morons who can’t tell the difference between a disease and a drug dealer… Okay, I must admit to having trouble with that as well. #DuterteIsTheCure

After Glassman’s tweet, Business Insider sought a response from Reebok. Business Insider described the tweet as “controversial,” “tone-deaf,” “racist,” and “insensitive.”

Whaa? BI asked Reebok if they hated that tweet as much as they themselves did? Wag-the-dog journalism at its finest.

Business Insider obtained a response from Reebok via a statement: “Recently, we have been in discussions regarding a new agreement, however, in light of recent events, we have made the decision to end our partnership with CrossFit HQ. We will fulfill our remaining contractual obligations in 2020. We owe this to the CrossFit Games competitors, fans and the community.”

Glassman could have had so much fun with those “remaining contractual obligations”. Bounce that rubble!

In other news, the 2021 CrossFit Games will be sponsored by the Oregon OrthoPedic Surgeons’ Association, aka OOPS.

Reebok aligned itself with the Black Lives Matter campaign. Its website currently has an animated banner with the following message: “Without the Black community, Reebok would not exist. America would not exist. …

The Reebok Cardi B Aztrek line of footwear would not exist.

We are not asking you to buy our shoes. We are asking you to walk in someone else’s. To Stand in solidarity. To find our common ground of HUMANITY.

How is Reebok still in business? Answer, African factory slave labor.

In May of 2019, CrossFit criticized Facebook’s arbitrary censorship practices. The company declared it would “no longer support or use Facebook’s services until further notice.” The company also stopped using Facebook-owned Instagram and WhatsApp platforms.

Smart move, Greg. Continuing to use Twitter: dumb move.

Greg is absolutely right but those Blue Check Marks are like Lovecraftian squid necklaces: if you ever try to leave the cult then they strangle you. CHINA-19 lockdowns killing his Crossfit empire was no excuse to violate the Narrative!

*squid squeeze*

CrossFit CEO resigns over insensitive George Floyd tweet

https://www.breitbart.com/news/crossfit-ceo-resigns-over-insensitive-george-floyd-tweet/

By AP, 10 June 2020

The CEO of CrossFit is stepping down after his tweet about George Floyd sparked a social media backlash and led to affiliated gyms and Reebok cutting ties with the exercise brand.

Greg Glassman said in a statement posted on CrossFit Inc.’s website late Tuesday that he decided to retire. Glassman had apologized earlier for tweets that sparked online outrage by connecting Floyd, a black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police, and the coronavirus pandemic. He said he had made a mistake and should have been more sensitive, but denied being racist.

Never. Apologize. But that advice is not for the likes of Glassman. I’ll explain in a minute why I’m in such a good mood about him getting Cancel-Culture’d.

“On Saturday I created a rift in the CrossFit community and unintentionally hurt many of its members,” he said. “I cannot let my behavior stand in the way of HQ’s or affiliates’ missions.”

Glassman had angered many with his glib response to a tweet by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a health research group, which said, “Racism is a public health issue.”

“It’s FLOYD-19,” he replied on Saturday, and in a second tweet criticized the group’s “failed” quarantine model and accused it of attempting to “model a solution to racism.”

Some 1,250 gyms have now severed links with CrossFit, according to industry blog Morning Chalk Up.

The hard numbers I can find add up to about 200 gyms breaking off, which is closer to what one would expect for only two days’ notice that we are now at war with Eastasia. But I must also say that associate gym membership has been in decline lately, due in part to the lockdown making orthopedic surgery unavailable.

Goodbye, Glassman. And lest we forget, this is why I’m happy to see Reebok’s boot helping your ass out the door:

CrossFit Just Fired Its Spokesperson Who Said LGBT Pride Is A “Sin”

htt ps://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniemlee/crossfit-russell-berger-lgbtq-pride-sin

By Stephanie M. Lee, 6 June 2018

A high-ranking CrossFit employee was fired after tweeting his support for a CrossFit gym’s cancellation of a Pride event, citing his belief that celebrating LGBT pride is a “sin.”

Russell Berger was the mega-successful fitness company’s chief knowledge officer, often de facto spokesperson, and a co-author of the Russells, a blog about scientific misconduct that he maintained with colleague Russell Greene.

But Berger got into hot water Wednesday afternoon when he tweeted about a CrossFit gym in Indianapolis, Indiana, where owners canceled a workout in honor of Pride Month. Many of the coaches and employees quit in protest, according to WTTV TV in Indianapolis. On Wednesday, the gym posted notices that it was shutting down.

Canceled workout supporting Indy Pride stokes controversy at Indy CrossFit gym

5 June 2018, ONE SINGLE DAY BEFORE THIS ALL PLAYED OUT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — A downtown CrossFit gym is facing backlash after members say management discriminated against the LGBTQ community.

Members say the controversy started when a special workout planned by coaches at CrossFit Infiltrate in support of Indy Pride was cancelled by gym ownership. In an email sent to members by gym management, it was explained that the event was cancelled because “the owners of the gym value health and wellness, and they believe that this event does not.”

“I didn’t know what to think, because like I said everyone was so friendly and welcoming,” former member Dan Mendoza said.

Mendoza said he reached out to gym management for clarification of their position and was sent an email that read:

“Our underlying goal for the staff and members at CrossFit Infiltrate and our other gyms CrossFit White River and University Ave CrossFit, is total health and well-being for the individual and the community. Total health involves the body, the emotions, relationships, and the spirit. At the foundational detractor from health, as we believe God sets the parameters for, is pride. We believe that true health forever can only be found within humility, not pride. Humility is seeing oneself as they truly are, and as God truly defines them to be. As a business we will choose to deploy our resources towards those efforts and causes that line up with our own values and beliefs.”

Genesis 1:27 “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” No homo!

“I didn’t feel welcome, you know, I didn’t feel the way I did when I first started,” Mendoza said.

Mendoza said he and his partner decided to cancel their memberships to the gym after reading the email.

An employee of CrossFit Infiltrate confirmed that Mendoza and his partner were part of a large contingent of members who decided to leave the gym. The employee said as a result, many of the coaches and staff also quit. The concern now is the exits may cause the gym to shut down.

Mendoza didn’t just quit, he let slip the dogs of Buzzfeed.

End segue.

[Berger wrote,] “As someone who personally believes celebrating ‘pride’ is a sin, I’d like to personally encourage #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout,” Berger wrote. “The intolerance of the LGBTQ ideology toward any alternative views is mind-blowing.”

Indeed! A little correction, however: sodomy being a sin is not a personal belief for us. The objective TRUTH is that sodomy is EVIL. Sin is when you want to do right but fall short, not when you mock God’s rainbow into a celebration of depravity.

Berger had also said, “The tactics of some in the LGBTQ movement toward dissent is an existential threat to freedom of expression.” In response to a Twitter user who pushed back, he wrote, “Thankfully I work for a company that tolerates disagreement. I have homosexual coworkers who I love and respect, and as far as I am aware, they aren’t demanding I be punished for my views.”

Oops.

Ain’t no shame in getting terminated for Jesus, Russell. Quite the opposite, in fact, but next time maybe don’t cite the homosexuals you believe you get along with as evidence that you aren’t an Evil White Christian. Just stand your ground and let the inevitable happen.

Two years later, nearly to the day, as Our Lord has correctly written: the wicked man has fallen into the pit he dug for another. Greg Glassman couldn’t be bothered to be as Tolerant as he claimed to be, now his friends can’t be bothered to be as Tolerant as they claim to be.

Russell Berger. That’s not a face that I would expect to oppose sodomy but as always, actions speak louder than faces.
