Record Highs Of Hostility And Violence Against Churches In America

Record High Of Hostility & Violence Against Churches In America: So Many Are Playing The Victims & Yet, They Are The Ones Doing The Attacking! Leaves The Church Defenseless

If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” -X

If it is not the sodomites who are playing the victims to those who stand up to their crimes by calling them bigots and haters (Leviticus 18:22), then it is those from the Middle East that mean to treasonously conquer America by calling out those who stand up against their crimes as ‘Islamophobic” (Article III, Section 3 U.S. Constitution).  The truth of the matter is that they hate the very Laws that condemn their crimes.  This is why they are attacking them by playing the victim.  Yet, they are getting special categories of protection from the corrupt within the halls of government.

There are Laws in the books already that address these issues. What is this all about? They are defending these groups that are getting special permission as to whom they can now attack and play the victim. Nothing new here (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

Now we have the people supporting the likes of today’s Israel without paying attention to who they are supporting. Meanwhile, American government is attempting to strip the people over here for ‘antisemitic’ behavior when it comes to their First Amendment, God-given Rights. It is being reported that “US House Passes Bill to Outlaw New Testament.” This is about as backward and as telling as it gets (Isaiah 5:20).

Firstliberty.org highlighted “New Report: Record High Hostility and Violence Against Churches in America.”

Hostility and violence against churches in America is at an all-time high, according to a recent Family Research Council report. They documented more than 430 incidents in 2023—more than double the number in 2022.

That’s an 800% increase in incidents since 2018 and an average of 39 attacks every month. America’s churches aren’t just witnessing hostility and violence at a higher rate than ever before. The report suggests the attacks are increasingly more violent and more personal. Close to 400 were acts of vandalism and arson, which often left church properties defaced and causing thousands of dollars of damage in many cases. Gun-related crimes, assault, interruption of church services and bomb threats comprised a smaller share of the attacks. Those numbers are bad. But it’s likely that the problem is much worse. As FRC notes, “many acts of hostility against churches are likely not reported to authorities and/or are not featured in the news or other online sources…Thus, the number of acts of hostility is undoubtedly much higher than the number reflected in this report.”

These findings also correlate with a similar report titled “The Intensifying Intolerance Toward Christians in the West,” documenting a sharp rise in religious freedom violations. The 2024 data shows that persecution of Christians by Western governments rose by 60% last year. And over the past four years, most violations in the Western world actually took place in the United States.

These trends are alarming—and they betray everything that religious freedom in America is about. Attacks, threats and terror against houses of worship have no place in our country. We’re founded on the principle that people of all faiths should be able to worship peacefully. No American should ever have to worry about their safety at their house of worship. Sadly, it seems that we’re getting further away from that founding principle.
It’s almost impossible to separate these trends from the broader cultural and legal fight that’s being waged on religious freedom. We shouldn’t be surprised to hear about rising violence on churches, especially when so many institutions in our society don’t appear to value the free exercise of religion.

Whether it’s government, woke corporate America, higher education, the media or political activist groups, they’ve all shown a particular disdain for religious Americans. And to some extent, they’ve all had a hand in trying to strip away the legal and constitutional protections that guard people of faith.

There is a common connection between the growing religious persecution abroad and the rapidly increasing hostility toward churches here at home: our government’s policies,” according to FRC President Tony Perkins. “The indifference abroad to the fundamental freedom of religion is rivaled only by the increasing antagonism toward the moral absolutes taught by Bible-believing churches here in the U.S., which is fomenting this environment of hostility toward churches.”

At First Liberty, we often warn Americans that no nation is immune to tyranny. We constantly say that we need to heed the warning signs. Religious persecution and violence aren’t just happening in totalitarian regimes far away. The stats show that some of the worst offenders are America’s neighbors.

And now, the numbers clearly show that religious persecution is increasing on our shores.

This reminds us why protecting and restoring religious freedom is so important. There’s a reason why it’s the First Freedom in the Bill of Rights, the very first that appears in the First Amendment. History shows that chaos, violence and tyranny result when this fundamental freedom isn’t protected.

This is not a time for indifference. As Americans, we can’t afford to bury our heads in the sand. We need to stand up for our First Freedom. We need to make sure America remains a safe haven where people of all faiths are free to live and worship in peace.

Leaving the Church Defenseless?

His Tabernacle Family Church, led by Pastor Micheal Spencer, recently got a huge win in court for their First and Second Amendment rights.

The congregation challenged a New York law that prohibited firearms at places of worship. The hypocrisy of this law allowed most secular establishments, like Home Depot or a local diner, to decide for if patrons can defend themselves. But houses of worship couldn’t.

In December, a federal appeals court ruled in favor of His Tabernacle Family Church. The Court rejected the State of New York’s unconstitutional attempt to make all houses of worship in New York gun-free zones.

Pastor Micheal discusses why this wasn’t just a win that protected his flock, but also the rights and freedoms of countless Americans. Watch below:

Billings Police sowing seeds of distrust with general public

A 50 year Billings resident wrote to the Wyoming News. This is how he views the Billings Police Department.

” I am a 70-year-old man. I am an upstanding citizen who has never been in trouble with the law. I have absolutely no record, not even a driving citation. I have noticed recently that the Billings police department has become more arrogant and confrontational when dealing with the general public. This is not the Billings I grew up in, and it is concerning.

I have witnessed personally Billings officers using excessive force and being unnecessarily aggressive towards citizens. I have also heard stories from my friends and family members about similar encounters. It seems like the police are more interested in asserting their authority rather than serving and protecting the community.

I understand that being a police officer is a difficult job, but that does not excuse disrespectful behavior towards citizens. The police are supposed to be role models for the community, and their actions should reflect that.

I believe that the Billings police department needs to re-evaluate their training and policies to ensure that officers are treating citizens with respect and professionalism. The community deserves to feel safe and respected by the police, not intimidated and mistreated.

I hope that the Billings police department will take action to address these issues and work towards rebuilding trust and positive relationships with the community. Until then, I will continue to be wary of the Billings police and urge others to do the same.

Am greatly disappointed in my friend, St. John. So that is why I have reached out to various media with this letter of concern, anonymously.”

Israel is supported in the elimination of HAMAS a Terrorist group

Israel is known for its expertise in dealing with terrorist organizations. One key element of their success is their deep understanding of the power structure within these groups. Through years of experience and rigorous analysis, Israeli intelligence agencies have developed a comprehensive understanding of how these organizations operate, how they are structured, and how they make decisions.

This knowledge has allowed Israel to effectively target the leadership and decision-making capabilities of terrorist organizations, destroying their ability to carry out attacks and disrupting their operations. By targeting key individuals and disrupting the flow of information and resources, Israel has been able to reduce significantly the threat posed by these groups.

The success of Israel’s approach to dealing with terrorism is recognized, around the world. Countries worldwide seek to learn from their expertise. While the fight against terrorism remains an ongoing challenge, Israel’s understanding of the power structure of these groups continues to be a critical tool in the global fight against terrorism.

Billings Police Officer, Zach Wallis Shoots Un-Armed Native American Man Killing Him In Cold Blood

Billings police once again find themselves having to defend their over-aggressive police tactics in yet another officer-involved shooting, except during this shooting, many videos are available from different angles that appear to show Billings Police Officer Zach Wallis 11-year veteran of the Billings police force and member of the SWAT team, may have committed murder in cold blood of a Crow Agency Indian minority man.  

Was this shooting race motivated? 

 Possibly.  

Was the over-aggressive force used unnecessarily? 

Possibly

Is Billings Police St. John scrambling to cover up the fact that his officer murdered a man? Based on Corrupt Billings Police Chief St. John’s history, that question could be answered with a RESOUNDING YES.

So far the only thing that Billings Police Chief St. John has been honest with the public is that “Officer Wallis was placed on paid administrative leave, which is department policy for any officer involved in a shooting.”

According to several videos that are circulating around in the Billings public and social media, several videos show the suspect falling to the ground after an officer fired his Taser causing the suspect to fall helplessly.

Several of the videos show at least seven Billings police officers running towards the man as he is lying on the ground helpless and incapacitated by the Taser.

The suspect was writhing on the ground caused by the pain of being Tased. Billings Police officers approached the suspect quickly.

This is where the story takes a horrific turn.

Multiple videos circulating in the public and on social media, clearly show Billings police officer Zach Wallis shooting an un-armed man, as he was lying down on the cement sidewalk caused by being tased and not a threat to anyone, yet Officer Zach Wallis shot the man five times at close range while the man is still on the ground, and not a threat to the public or the responding officers.

This incident happened in 8 to 10 seconds and it left many in the public stunned.

Billings Police Lt. Matt Lennick claims that:

“Officers attempted to negotiate with that male. There was no progress… They attempted less lethal, it sounds like, in the form of a Taser, which was not effective,” 

 “At some point during their altercation with him and trying to take him into custody, one officer fired one of their service weapons and struck the subject.”

The Billings Chief of Police is going to have a tough time trying to sway his agenda to protect his officer who just committed murder.  

Many in the public watched and recorded the use of unreasonable deadly force by Billings Police Officer Zach Wallis.

A Billings attorney David Dietrich, witnessed the shooting nearby from the front stairs of the Transwestern Plaza building where he was only about 40 feet away.

The Billings attorney David Dietrich seriously questions the Billings police’s use of force regarding this particular incident.  He witnessed Billings Police Officer Zach Wallis murder a man.

“There didn’t appear to be any brandishing of the machete or even an attempt by him to access it in the sheath, which is where it was when he got Tased,” Dietrich stated. Attorney David Dietrich continued stating, “My god, I mean, what a level of force used under these circumstances… I didn’t even know he was dead until after because I had no idea that, that level of force was needed to subdue him because of the fact that he had been already effectively, Tased.”

The public now considers Zach Wallis a threat to public safety and security. Officer Wallis needs to be charged with MURDER.

Officer-involved shootings are always a sensitive and complex issue. It’s important to wait for all the facts and details to come out before making any judgments or conclusions. It’s also important to respect the families and loved ones of the victim, not the Officer nor his personal feelings especially when they commit what appears as a murder.

However, remember that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It’s a tragic situation for all parties involved except Zach Wallis as he used unreasonable deadly force that caused the unnecessary death of a minority man.

The Billings public wants to strive for justice and accountability of Officer Zach Wallis yet working to also prevent these situations from happening in the future In Billings Montana.

Billings Police have hidden behind what is called their “Qualified immunity” This is another reason why “Qualified Immunity” needs to be abolished.

45-year-old James Bennett was the name of the man Zach Wallis Murdered.

Fuel Prices On the Rise In Wyoming, Thanks To The Failed Biden Economics Socialist Agenda

Recent data from GasBuddy’s survey of 494 stations in Wyoming indicates that the average gasoline prices in the state have increased by 5.2 cents per gallon over the past week, which currently stands at $3.25/gallon. This is 28.1 cents per gallon higher than the previous month and 0.5 cents per gallon higher than the previous year. If you’re looking for the cheapest gas available in Natrona County, it’s available for $2.89 at Ridley’s Family Market on Wyoming Boulevard.

The national average price of gasoline has not changed over the last week, remaining at $3.51/gallon. Meanwhile, the national average price of diesel has dropped by 2.9 cents over the same period, currently standing at $3.99 per gallon. According to GasBuddy’s petroleum analysis head, Patrick De Haan, the national average price of gasoline has slowed down after four weeks of notable increases, with the current average hovering around the mid-$3.50s range.

De Haan also cautioned motorists in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, who have not yet completed their transition to summer gasoline, to be prepared for a potential price spike in the coming weeks. However, for the rest of the nation, gasoline prices may have reached their peak and are unlikely to rise further, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Gas prices in Wyoming and the national average have fluctuated significantly over the last decade. As of April 1, 2023, the national average price of gasoline stands at $3.50/gallon, while Wyoming’s is at $3.25/gallon.

If you’re located in Fort Collins, Ogden, or Billings, neighboring areas with gas prices of $2.98/gallon, $3.73/gallon, and $3.55/gallon respectively, you may want to consider filling up there.
