2020: The year the Church was as sharp as a two-edged marshmallow

marshmallow sword
This is the fourth of five end-of-year articles looking at various aspects of our new Covidian State in 2020 (Parts 1, 2 and 3 are here, here and here). These pieces are also due to be published on the excellent Conservative Woman website from 27-31 December.

It is a curious fact that the Bible contains the phrase "Fear not" many times, whereas the word "nice" is never used (except of course in some of the really marshmallowy modern translations). Some websites tell us that we are exhorted not to fear 365 times, which would be lovely for someone making a book titled, "Round the year with no fear" - but alas it is not so. There aren't 365. Nevertheless, however many times the phrase or sentiment is used, it is precisely that number more than the number of times the exhortation to be nice is used.

Yet, you'd hardly know it to look at the state of many churches at the moment. There seems to be an overwhelming emphasis on being "nice", which generally means never saying anything provocative or dangerous or which could be seen as being judgemental. Yet when along came a virus, fear seemed to be in plenteous supply.

Previous Nevada voter fraud testimony matches Antrim County's forensic report perfectly

election worker
There is no shortage of evidence and sworn testimony regarding rampant voter fraud across the country, particularly in swing states. But there's also a challenge with information overload; some of the biggest stories get mixed into the wrong piles. That's my excuse for missing a crucial eyewitness statement from over two weeks ago that now seems like more of a smoking gun than it did before.

The testimony from an anonymous witness was revealed by the Trump team on December 3 regarding Nevada vote tabulation. Apparently most other conservative sites missed it as well because I could not find mentions on any of our peer sites. Conservative commentator and former congressional candidate Mindy Robinson pointed it out on Twitter.


What makes this revelation so interesting now is that it jibes perfectly with what was revealed following the forensic audit and subsequent report regarding Antrim County's voting tabulation issues. In fact, this seems like a perfect match, one that may shed light on how the attempted coup was perpetrated across the country.

Comment: For the Antrim report, see this:

Law prohibits Pence from accepting electoral votes from fraudulently certified states claims constitutional lawyer

US President Donald Trump and VP Mike Pence at the White House
Ivan Raiklin says Vice President Pence can request states send Electoral College slates that actually reflect the will of the people.

Citing the United States Constitution and U.S. Code, Constitutional Lawyer Ivan Raiklin says it is Vice President Mike Pence's duty to instruct states to expeditiously send their Electoral College Certificates immediately if they have not been received.

U.S.C. 12 explains that:
"When no certificate of vote and list mentioned in sections 9 and 11 of this title from any State shall have been received by the President of the Senate or by the Archivist of the United States by the fourth Wednesday in December, after the meeting of the electors shall have been held, the President of the Senate ... shall request, by the most expeditious method available, the secretary of state of the State to send up the certificate..."
Beyond the allegations and evidence of widespread fraud presented by both President Donald Trump's legal team and independent lawyers and witnesses across the United States, several states have now sent competing slates of delegates to Washington, D.C.

Virginia law professor raises eyebrows with suggestion to achieve racial 'Equality': Double-count the votes of black people

Sign thanking Black voters near the White House, Washington, D.C. November 8, 2020.
A law professor at Virginia's Washington and Lee University has devised a creative solution to help create a "racially just" society: double-count the votes of black people to undo America's "structurally racist" political system.

The professor, Brandon Hasbrouck, made his argument in a new op-ed series published by progressive news platform The Nation. Hasbrouck argued that the US political system has given unfair weight to white votes, partly because predominantly white states with relatively few people, such as Wyoming, get two senators, while largely black cities can only occasionally overcome the mostly white votes from elsewhere in their states. He dismissed the fact that black votes in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia essentially won Democrat Joe Biden the November 3 presidential election, saying the outcomes in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were "worryingly close."

He graciously suggested that so-called "vote reparations" should also be extended to Native Americans, but his proposal was nevertheless roasted on social media as inherently racist.


Comment: Biden did not win the election, despite who says so. His party fraudulently appropriated it.


Comment: Hasbrouck is just another nutjob making headlines.

The new Los Angeles County prosecutor, elected with funding from billionaire George Soros, has inflamed tensions over his left-wing policies by calling family members of a murder victim too uneducated to "keep their mouth shut."

"It's unfortunate that we have people that do not have enough education to keep their mouth shut for once so we can talk," District Attorney George Gascon said Friday, outside a courthouse in Pomona, California.

A woman in the crowd responded by saying, "My son can never speak again because he was murdered. He was kidnapped, tortured and murdered. My son matters."

Comment: Are we shocked there is Soros money behind guys like Gascon?

'No food for you!': NYC restaurants to ban Cuomo from dining in their establishments

Struggling restaurant owners city-wide are permanently banning New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo from setting foot into their establishments.

According to bar owner Larry Baird:
"He can eat at some shitty roadside diner outside of Albany but he will not be served anywhere in New York City, known universally as the world's greatest dining destination! If he has to use the restroom he can go pee on my street-corner! That's what he wants anyway!"
Former life long Coney Island resident Val Torre said that he's finally moving to Florida:
"It's 70 degrees every day. My Coney Island childhood friends have all retired to Florida now! All the restaurants and bars are open and the grannies live!"
Many members of the Facebook Group NYC Restaurants Open applaud the Executive Order banning Cuomo from being served at all New York City establishments. One member stated "Completely schizophrenic behavior! How are they coming up with these rules is beyond any logical reasoning." Another furious lifelong New York resident exclaimed "He can dine at Gracie Mansion if he wants hospitality in Manhattan. He ain't getting it here!"

No word yet from the Governor's Office on how Cuomo feels about the lifetime ban.

Comment: Word has it the Gracie Mansion serves vegan.

Video shows anti-mask protest at Phoenix's Christown Spectrum Mall

Antimask protesters march through Phoenix Target store.
Videos showing a group of maskless protesters decrying COVID-19 health guidelines at Phoenix's Christown Spectrum Mall went viral on Friday as Arizona, along with the rest of the country, continue to see a record number of new cases.

Several videos, filmed at different stores including Target and Walmart, showed the group walking through the stores as some waved American flags and held signs opposing masks and other guidelines.

Jenny Guzman, one of the Target shoppers who took video of the protest, told The Arizona Republic in a phone interview that she noticed people shouting near a group of Target security guards and drew closer to see what the commotion was about.
"I turned to look and then I saw people coming in, not wearing masks, with signs and a big giant American flag chanting and yelling — demanding that people take their masks off and just saying fallacies about wearing masks. It was just so selfish and I just don't understand how these people think that — not only are they not proving a point, but they're endangering people. But I think they're so selfish that it doesn't matter to them."

Comment: When confronted with facts and science, indoctrination default is the response. The mask of lies, for some people, says it all.

People wait in line for a Los Angeles Mission homeless shelter Thanksgiving meal giveaway, as the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues, in Los Angeles, California, U.S., November 25, 2020.
A $600 per person stimulus check, included in the coronavirus package agreed on by congressional leadership after months of debate, has irked netizens who accuse lawmakers of throwing "pennies" at pandemic-weary Americans.

The $900-billion coronavirus deal was announced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday night, a compromise reached between Democrats and Republicans after nearly nine months of fruitless negotiations.

"We can finally report what our nation has needed to hear for a very long time: more help is on the way. As our citizens continue battling this coronavirus this holiday season, they will not be fighting alone," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

Comment: Nancy Pelosi came in for particular derision as she took credit for the package:

Robert E. Lee's statue was removed from the U.S. Capitol Sunday night.
A statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was removed from the U.S. Capitol overnight.

The statue has stood with America's first president, George Washington, as the state of Virginia's contribution to the National Statuary Hall Collection at the Capitol for more than 100 years.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, announced on Monday the state will seek to have it replaced with a statue of civil rights icon Barbara Johns.

Comment: Because, of course.

People in Halle held a memorial for the victims and demonstrated against right-wing extremism
The far-right extremist who killed two people in the eastern German city of Halle after trying to shoot his way into a synagogue has received the maximum sentence. The five-month trial was an ordeal for some survivors.

A German court has sentenced the attacker behind a deadly 2019 attack on a synagogue and surrounding areas in Halle to life in prison.

Far-right extremist Stephan B. was found guilty of two murders and more than 50 counts of attempted murder at the end of his 26-day trial on Monday.
