The DFL's attack on the First Amendment

Apparently, the DFL is intent on becoming the most anti-First Amendment legislature in U.S. history. I'm not surprised about this. I'm just mad as hell about it. Let's dig into this anti-religion crisis. Alpha News is reporting that "A group of left-wing Democrats lambasted people of faith Thursday in a Minnesota House of Representatives committee hearing. Blocking an amendment that would continue longstanding protections for religious institutions, Democrats rejected pleas from Minnesota’s religious community."

The article continues, saying "For decades, Minnesota statute has allowed religious organizations and associations to refrain from hiring individuals who do not match their faith traditions. For example, current state law ensures that private Christian schools cannot be forced to hire teachers who are gay, lesbian, Muslim, etc. However, Democrats in the Minnesota Legislature put a new term in state law during the 2023 session which complicates that: 'gender identity.' When Democrats introduced this term, state law was not adjusted to make sure religious institutions can still decline to hire someone whose “gender identity” is in opposition to their faith."

Rep. Harry Niska, (R-Ramsey), inquired about this:

Rep. Niska assumed this complication was an oversight by Democrats. However, the chair of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, D-Roseville, told Rep. Niska, "I can say as a legislator it was not an oversight."
Shortly thereafter, Rep. Niska posted this thread on X: Of course, this law violates the First Amendment, specifically the right to practice a person's religious beliefs. A little over 13 minutes into this video, Rep. Niska introduces his A-2 amendment to HF4021:

A little over 16 minutes into the video Rep. Becker-Finn replied "As a legislator, I can say it wasn't an oversight. I was aware of that language." In saying that, Rep. Becker-Finn just admitted that it was the DFL's intention to violate people's religious rights by writing anti-religious discrimination into the Minnesota Human Rights Act. That's utterly corrupt. That's disgusting. Religious rights come from Nature's God, not from men. Further, religious rights are human rights.

This law will be struck down the minute the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals hears it. If that ruling is appealed to the Supremee Court, SCOTUS will uphold the Eighth Circuit's ruling.

I Heard It On the NARN

Spread this video, which Rep. Walter Hudson put together, as though your life depended on it -- because the DFL is intent on obliterating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights:

The DFL has made this point exceptionally powerfully: they don't respect the Constitution! They likely don't respect the Constitution because a) it limits the government's authorities and b) the Constitution is built on the premise that our rights come from God, not government.

I'll have another article that folows up on this article tomorrow. It'll be about where rights come from.

    This is also an affront to our Constitutional freedom of association.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
