Joe Biden Supports Sex-Changes, Hormone substitutions For Minors

Joe Biden Supports Sex-Changes, Hormone substitutions For Minors

Joe Biden is not only the worst President in history, but he is also trying to tear down what it means to be a man or a woman.   He has chosen to play GOD!  Joe Biden’s latest mind-boggling Dementia move is to declare that his Administration, ie., Government supports any sex-change surgeries and hormone substitution for minors as young as first graders, being allowed to become the opposite sex without parents’ knowledge.

Here is the Proof that the Wyoming News is providing of such Crazyness.

Yes, it is happening, the Department Of Health and Human Services of Population Affairs released to the media this document:  gender-affirming-care-is-trauma-informed-care.pdf (nctsn.org)

Public Schools allow cross-sex hormone substitutions for school-aged minor children without parents’ knowledge.  Public schools use the politically correct label of “Gender-Affirming Care.”   The label is nothing more than a WOKE agenda.

Do not buy into their crap!

Gender-Affirming Care and Young People (hhs.gov)

This is called “Gender Affirming Care For Young People.”

Did you know that the American Medical AssociationAmerican Psychiatric Association, and American Academy of Pediatrics are all in step with the Radical Socialist woke Democrats?

Groups claim that transgender minors need to affirm their self-proclaimed gender identities,  instead of them learning to be content with the bodies they were born with and that GOD designed as, either a boy or a girl and nothing in between or switching gender sides.

Public schools are complying with the Biden administration and encouraging minors to take puberty blockers if they identify as a transgender.

Liberal teachers are pushing the WOKE, CTR socialist agendas and encouraging children to desire sex mutilation, top surgeries where boys develop breasts, and bottom surgeries where boys and girls alter their reproductive organs.  In Wyoming, the liberal Democrats are pushing hard to keep their Critical Race Theory under wraps, including transgender encouragement to minors.

If a parent were to ask if this is going on, those that are teaching the liberal WOKE transgender agendas will deny such activity.

To make matters worst, Democrat, Joe Biden is taking steps to fight laws that prohibit such radical, evil Transgender WOKENESS that were legislated into law in Republican-controlled states.   According to Joe Biden, Americans can not have normal families, instead, Biden is on record stating that the just and upright standing laws are “hateful and “simply wrong.”

Biden is calling evil good and good evil.  Joe Biden and the Democrats need to be removed from office in 2022 and if at all possible jailed for the crimes they are committing against America and the American family.

Kim Davis Appeals Her Case for Religious Freedom

Kim Davis Appeals Her Case for Religious Freedom

April 1, 2022|National News
Supreme Court

CINCINNATI, OH – Liberty Counsel has appealed to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of former Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis, who was denied the motion for summary judgment by U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning in the cases of Ermold v. Davis and Yates v. Davis.

Liberty Counsel will argue that Davis is not liable for damages because she was entitled to a religious accommodation (which Governor Matt Bevin and the legislature unanimously granted) from issuing marriage licenses that conflict with her religious beliefs. In granting summary judgment for the plaintiffs, Judge Bunning ruled that Davis violated “clearly established” law when she ceased issuing all marriage licenses. Davis argues that a finding of liability would violate the First Amendment Free Exercise of Religion.

This case now clearly presents the free exercise defense and thus could return to the Supreme Court.

When Governor Matt Bevin took office in December 2015, he immediately issued an executive order accommodating all Kentucky clerks who refused to issue marriage licenses that conflict with their religious beliefs. Then in April 2016, the Kentucky General Assembly unanimously passed legislation that provided accommodation for clerks who object to issuing marriage licenses that conflict with their religious beliefs.

In fact, (1) Kentucky has a history of accommodating clerks who because of conscience opt out of issuing hunting and fishing licenses; (2) Gov. Beshear accommodated the conscientious objection of his attorney general who requested to opt out of defending the marriage law; (3) Gov. Matt Bevin accommodated Kim Davis and other clerks the first week he took office; and (4) the Kentucky General Assembly unanimously passed a law accommodating all clerks with religious objections by permitting them to opt out of issuing such licenses. Therefore, the refusal of Gov. Beshear to accommodate Kim Davis violated her First Amendment free exercise rights.

When Davis petitioned the Supreme Court for review in 2020, the High Court denied review in which the only issue raised was sovereign immunity. However, Justices Thomas and Alito appeared to invite future challenges to the scope of the 2015 Obergefell marriage case. Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Alito, wrote that “[t]his petition implicates important questions about the scope of our decision in Obergefell, but it does not cleanly present them.”

Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Kim Davis is entitled to an accommodation based on her sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage. This case now goes to the Circuit Court of Appeals and has a high potential of reaching the Supreme Court.” Liberty Counsel is public law firm and a news partner with the Wyoming News.

US Gov Pd Liberal Media $1 Billion Tax Dollars: Falsify Covid-19

Liberal Mainstream Media falsfiy Covid-19

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!”
How many times does the mainstream media need to be exposed for their fraud, their lies  and their  propaganda?

Exposing the MSM’s corruption at every given turn (Ephesians 5:11), only to have the corrupt to fill up their cup with a new deception (Ephesians 4:14).
.
The American people know all the while that there is no truth in them (John 8:44) and they allow them to set the next narrative without an ounce of truth in it, and the people love to have it so (Jeremiah 5:31)!

According to the material, the federal government  spent $1 billion on advertising as part of a media push to boost public confidence in the Covid-19  vaccination.

The campaign is being branded as a “national push to improve public trust in, and uptake of, COVID-19 vaccines while promoting basic preventative strategies such as mask-wearing and social distance,”  according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Although the data does not support these  claims, the media effort was most likely concealing something more nefarious. Anyone who has spent time reading the news or watching news coverage on television can attest to this Virtually every one of the news organizations paid by HHS, including ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC,  The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and the New York Post, covered stories about the vaccines and did not disclose they had accepted taxpayer dollars to support the vaccine effort.

Because it is normal practice for editorial teams to work independently from advertising departments,  it appears that the organizations did not see the need to reveal their funding. The ads included a humorous social media campaign starring Elton John and Michael Caine, fear- based ads presenting survivor stories, and clear factual ads supporting the safety and efficacy of the current COVID-19 mRNA injectable.

The Washington Post’s vice president of communications, Shani George, issued a comment about the  federal government’s financing for media advertising, saying: “Advertisers pay for space to share their messages, as was the case here, and those ads are clearly labeled as such.

The newsroom is completely independent from the advertising department.”

Montana Home Builders Endorse Republican Ryan Zinke For Congress

Montana Home Builders Endorse Republican Ryan Zinke For Congress

April 1, 2022|National News
Ryan Zinke For Congress

Big news! This week Montana Home Builders endorsed Ryan Zinke for Congress. The reason is clear, Ryan Zinke knows that the best way to create more affordable housing is to unleash the power of the private sector, not rely on taxpayer-funded government housing.

Ryan has always supported building. Not just homes, infrastructure as well. As Montana’s former Congressman and as President Trump’s Secretary of the Interior Ryan has a proven record of confronting the radical environmentalism and federal overreach which keeps America’s home builders and infrastructure in a costly regulatory chokehold.

Federal regulations and agencies require sometimes dozens of permits and bureaucratic hoops that builders are required to jump through. For example: According to the NAHB, It costs on average $270,000 and 788 days for a home builder to receive a CWA (Clean Water Act) permit for construction that affects a waterway that is designated a “water of the United States”.  And we all know what the Democrats want to do with WOTUS. As Congressman, Ryan continually voted against the Obama WOTUS regulations and will continue the fight with Joe Biden’s planned reboot.

To confront the issue of permitting and overreach from NEPA regulations, in 2017 Secretary Ryan Zinke established a task force to streamline permitting across all departments under the purview of the Department of the Interior.

As Secretary, Ryan worked to lift overreaching regulations from the Endangered Species Act by reining in overreach in critical habitat designations, rescinding the provision that treated “threatened” species like “endangered”, delisting the Grizzly Bear and working to expand cooperation between the states and federal agencies on management of sage grouse.

As Montana’s at-large Congressman, Ryan also voted to help small businesses, like homebuilders, cope with large investments by making the section 179 tax exemption for heavy machinery permanent, helping cut costs for home builders and infrastructure construction.

​’NO VACANCY’ Based On True Story Fighting For The Homeless

April 1, 2022|Local News, National News

 

FILM 'NO VACANCY' IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY ABOUT FIGHTING FOR THE HOMELESS
New Film Starring Sean Young, T.C. Stallings and Dean Cain
Premieres Nationwide through Fathom Events on May 9 for One Night Only!
KingstoneStudios.com

 

LEESBURG, FLORIDA – March 31, 2022 – An uplifting film for the whole family and based on a true story, NO VACANCY follows a jaded reporter demoted to a rural news bureau who finds her cynicism slowly transformed as she befriends a recovering addict and writes about a church struggling to purchase a motel for homeless families.

Starring Sean Young (DUNE, BLADE RUNNER), T.C. Stallings (COURAGEOUS, WAR ROOM) and Dean Cain (GOD’S NOT DEAD, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), NO VACANCY premieres May 9 in more than 700 cinemas nationwide for one night only.

“In a time of bitter division and acrimony in our country, our creative team thought it was an appropriate time to release a movie based on the true story of a community coming together in a literally miraculous way,” said Art Ayris, CEO of Kingstone Studios, which produced the film. “The Orlando ABC affiliate had previously done eight feature stories plus M6 in France and Japan’s Nippon television had all journeyed to Florida to do stories. We realized this was a story with appeal far beyond central Florida and needed to be told in a way that only a motion picture can communicate. Though the movie has a few fictional components and characters, it is closely based on the true story,” Ayris added.

Distributed by Fathom Events, NO VACANCY is directed by Kyle Saylors. His documentary KIMJONIGILA was the first film ever screened at the U.S. Capitol private theater and led to a congressional hearing and the first sanctions against the North Korean prison camps.

NO VACANCY is written by Ayris, whose production credits include Best TV Movie Hollywood’s Next Success contest; Best Feature Florida Film & Television; Best Feature Angel Awards, graphic adaptation, for SONY Affirm theatrical release The Remaining; and over 60 comic, animation and film credits. Ayris served as executive editor of the Kingstone Bible, which was a finalist for Christian Book of the Year in the Children’s Category.

FILM SYNOPSIS
News reporter Brandi Michaels finds the 2007 economic and housing collapse in central Florida an apt metaphor for her turbulent life. If a looming divorce and her mother’s Alzheimer’s were not enough, her journalistic dreams are devastated when she is demoted from Orlando to a rural outpost. But when her editor sends Brandi to cover a story on a church struggling to purchase a motel for homeless families during the Great Recession, she finds her cynical news persona challenged as she encounters Cecil, a winsome former drug addict, and sees for herself the selfless and epic struggle of the church as it seeks to take care of the homeless in their community. Her coverage of the story eventually helps the church overcome the opposition to acquire the motel and also plays a role in Brandi’s personal redemption as she witnesses first-hand the stories of all those involved. Her article becomes an award-winning piece, serving as a catalytic model to helping homeless families in other communities, and gives her the journalistic impact she had craved all along. Based on the true story of First Baptist Leesburg, Cecil Johnson and the Samaritan Inn. 

First Baptist Leesburg’s story has been featured in several documentaries including 2018’s COME ALIVE. The Samaritan Inn is a real motel converted into use for homeless families that stays full every night of the year.

Death Of Khoen Parker is tragic, family still searches

Death Of Khoen Parker is tragic, family still searches

April 1, 2022|National News

 

January death of Khoen Parker is tragic, especially as his family still searches for answers and closure.

With that said, liberal media discrepancies were reported on the location of the fatal shooting.

The shooting happened on Billings School District 2 property, in a parking lot next to the Castle Rock Middle School track. The parking lot where the shooting occurred belongs to the school district.

Reports have stated the shooting happened in Castle Rock Park, but that’s not true.

The confusion comes from the fact that the land formerly belonged to the parks department.

Attached a map provided to me by the Billings Police Department that marks where the shooting took place. Please note the Google Maps image is outdated, and that baseball field is now a school district parking lot.

Superintendent Greg Upham plans to install lights in that parking lot, because it’s school district property. He wouldn’t have authority to install lights in the park.
