Christian Nationalist CREC Embraces Womanizer, Drunkard, Racist but "White" Hegseth

There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that the Trump Administration is the official face of the evangelical white christian nationalist movement in America. Counter to the Constitution, these racist neanderthals see no difference, and therefore no separation, between religion, politics and the public domain.

Their sad story is that their capitalist greed has caused them to inherit a two-centuries-old tsunami of immigrants who are neither white, nor evangelical, nor christian, and who often are smarter and hard-working than them.

And now, they are trying to buck a phenomenon they can't reverse. "Bleaching" a country to become only "christian white" is an unachievable task unless they adopt the methods of their favorite heroes, the German Nazis (pure Aryan excrement) and the Zionists (pure Jewish feces): Deportations of immigrants, students and others, harassment on the streets, destruction of families and communities, raids on homes, businesses and places of work, set up and ambush the undesirable candidates for persecution, internment in concentration camps (Guantanamo, Alligator Alcatraz, etc.).

It's a tragic sight. These people with Bronze Age mindsets are desperate. They see their colonial-vintage majority, which they earned by massacres and genocide, dwindle to the largest minority by the middle of this century, and that is why they are resorting to extreme behavior.

They still think that God is a white man with gray hair and beard who chose them as his favorite people, and that he not only gave them dominion (as the biblical garbage says) over animals, plants and the environment, but also dominion over other "lesser races" of people. You see, in their ignorance and hatred of science, these people believe that white skin is the summum of creation by design. God designed them white, like him, and therefore granted them superiority over others. They do not believe in evolution, of course.

They may have read only one book in their lives, which kept drilling in their vacuous brains the twisted notion that, just like the Hebrews of old, they were chosen by God for the purpose of ruling over everything and everyone on earth. Just like the Hebrews who stole the land of Palestinian Canaan in 2800 BC with ultold barbarity, ethnic cleansing and genocide then wrote their own garbage about how heroic that was, they believe they were sent to the American promised land for the same purpose as God's chosen ones. They heard God tell them, "kill every man, woman, child and beast" among the heathen indigenous Amerindians, which they did. They heard God tell them to enslave other lesser people to build this new city then exterminate them when the task is done.

As the clock ticks to signal the inexorable end of Bronze Age barbarity, these neanderthals have no option but to dig their heels and engulf themselves in utter violence to try and maintain their God-mandated dominion. But we are no longer in 2800 BC. We used to believe prophets who proclaimed bullshit as the golden word of God in an age of ignorance. We don't do that anymore. But they try. They have an utterly disagreeable hoodlum whom they have elevated to the status of "Divine Messiah" in the form of a fat, disgusting, artificially tanned ignoramus president.

Trump's evangelical white christian nationalists of America are the progeny and mirror image of their protégés, the Zionists of colonial Palestine who too have re-conquered the promised land by annihilating and exterminating the neo-Canaanite Palestinians. Three thousand years of evolution, knowledge, science, experience... have done nothing to lift these and all other ultra-religious lemurs out of the swamps of their ignorance. It's astounding that people in the 21st century still believe that a parchment, written over millennia by stinking hallucinating nomads in the desert of Arabia, is the repository of ALL of human experience, is granted the label of "word of God", and is to be taken literally and exclusively as our code of conduct.

That explains why they have a hard time with their own 250-year old constitution: Should I accept as immutable what white men in wigs wrote back then? Should I take the "intent" and ignore the text? Or should I stick with the literal text even if out of its context of three centuries ago?

Conservatives hate change. But change is an organic element of existence. Hence, their constant dilemma: They want to live and enjoy the benefits of the science-based modern world, but refuse to discard the residues of an ignorant past. They will still run to the doctor when their tooth aches or when they have a cancer, but they do not accept the premises upon which that doctor learned his trade. This is ignorance wrapped in hypocrisy and opportunism.

All the above should help you understand how a deranged Orangutan is now president of the United States who wants to install a Taliban-like Christian society and government in America, where preachers, priests and other similar sexual deviants run the place from behind puppet presidents and politicians, where women's role is to support men and make children, where the law is made in the image of the bible, and where all those who are not like them (Blacks, Catholics, Jews, Asians, etc.) are allowed only to the extent that they remain subservient and useful.

What is CREC? The Christian nationalist group has a vision for America − and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s support

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s affiliation with the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches – commonly called the CREC – drew attention even before his confirmation hearings in January 2025. More recently, media reports highlighted a Pentagon prayer led by Hegseth and his pastor, Brooks Potteiger, in which they praised President Donald Trump, who they said was divinely appointed.

As a scholar of the Christian right, I have studied the CREC. Hegseth’s membership in a church that belongs to the CREC drew attention because prominent members of the church identify as Christian nationalists, and because of its positions on issues concerning gender, sexuality and the separation of church and state.

The CREC is most easily understood through three main parts: churches, schools and media.
What is the CREC?

The CREC church is a network of churches. It is associated with the congregation of Doug Wilson, the pastor who founded Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. Wilson grew up in the town, where his father was an evangelical minister.

Wilson co-founded the CREC in 1993 and is the public figure most associated with the network of churches. Christ Church operates as the hub for Logos Schools, Canon Press and New Saint Andrews College, all located in Moscow. Logos is a set of private schools and homeschooling curriculum, Canon Press is a publishing house and media company, and New Saint Andrews College is a university, all of which were founded by Wilson and associated with Christ Church. All espouse the view that Christians are at odds with – or at war with – secular society.

While he is not Hegseth’s pastor, Wilson is the most influential voice in the CREC, and the two men have spoken approvingly of one another.

As Wilson steadily grew Christ Church in Moscow, he and its members sought to spread their message by making Moscow a conservative town and establishing churches beyond it. Of his hometown, Wilson plainly states, “Our desire is to make Moscow a Christian town.”

The CREC doctrine is opposed to religious pluralism or political points of view that diverge from CREC theology. On its website, the CREC says that it is “committed to maintaining its Reformed faith, avoiding the pitfalls of cultural relevance and political compromise that destroys our doctrinal integrity.”

CREC churches adhere to a highly patriarchal and conservative interpretation of Scripture. Wilson has said that in a sexual relationship, “A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.”

In a broader political sense, CREC theology includes the belief that the establishment clause of the Constitution does not require a separation of church and state. The most common reading of the establishment clause is that freedom of religion precludes the installation of a state religion or religious tests to hold state office.

The CREC broadly asserts that the government and anyone serving in it should be Christian. For Wilson and members of CREC churches, this means Christians and only Christians are qualified to hold political office in the United States.

Researcher Matthew Taylor explained in an interview with the Nashville Tennessean, “They believe the church is supposed to be militant in the world, is supposed to be reforming the world, and in some ways conquering the world.”

While the CREC may not have the name recognition of some large evangelical denominations or the visibility of some megachurches, it boasts churches across the United States and internationally. The CREC website claims to have over 130 churches and parishes spread across North America, Europe, Asia and South America.

Like some other evangelical denominations, the CREC uses “church planting” to grow its network. Plant churches do not require a centralized governing body to ordain their founding. Instead, those interested in starting a CREC congregation contact the CREC. The CREC then provides materials and literature for people to use in their church.
CREC schools, home schools and colleges

The CREC’s expansion also owes a debt to Wilson’s entrepreneurship. As the church expanded, Wilson founded an associated K-12 school called “Logos” in September 1981, which since then has grown into a network of many schools.

In conjunction with its growth, Logos develops and sells “classical Christian” curriculum to private schools and home-school families through Logos Press. Classical Christian Schools aim to develop what they consider a biblical worldview. In addition to religious studies, they focus on classic texts from Greece and Rome. They have grown in popularity in recent years, especially among conservatives.

Logos’ classical Christian curriculum is designed to help parents “raise faithful, dangerous Christian kids who impact the world for Christ and leave craters in the world of secularism.” Logos press regularly asserts, “education is warfare.”

According to the website, Logos schools enroll more than 2,000 students across 16 countries. Logos also has its own press that supplies the curriculum to all of these schools. On the heels of Logos’ success, Wilson founded the Association of Classical Christian Schools in 1993 as an accrediting body for like-minded schools. The ACCS now boast 500 schools and more than 50,000 students across the United States and around the world.

Additionally, Wilson founded New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. New Saint Andrews is a Christian university that takes the classical Christian approach to education championed by Wilson into higher education.

The New Saint Andrews College is consistent with other CREC institutions. It considers secularism a weakness of other universities and society more generally. Its website explains: “New Saint Andrews has long held a principled and clear voice, championing the truth of God’s word and ways, while so many other colleges veer into softness and secularism.” The school is governed by the elders of Christ Church and does not accept federal funding.
CREC media

In addition to the Logos Press, which produces the CREC school curriculum, Wilson founded Canon Press. Canon Press produces books, podcasts, a YouTube channel and assorted merchandise including apparel and weapons, such as a flamethrower. The YouTube channel has over 100,000 followers.

Books published by Canon include children’s picture books to manuals on masculinity. A number of books continue the theme of warfare.

The politics page of the press contains many books on Christian nationalism. Christian political theorist Stephen Wolfe’s book “The Case for Christian Nationalism” is one of the most popular among books on Christian nationalism. The website has dozens of books on Christian nationalism and media dedicated to the construction of a Christian government.

Author Joe Rigney, a fellow of theology at New Saint Andrews College and an associate pastor at Christ Church, warns of the “Sin of Empathy.” Rigney claims that empathizing with others is sinful because it requires compromise and makes one vulnerable in the fight against evil.

CREC controversies

As the church network has grown, it has drawn attention and scrutiny. Wilson’s 1996 publication of a book positively depicting slavery and claiming slavery cultivated “affection among the races” drew national attention.

Accusations of sexual abuse and the church’s handling of it have also brought national news coverage. Vice’s Sarah Stankorb interviewed many women who talked about a culture, especially in marriage, where sexual abuse and assault is common. The Vice reporting led to a podcast that details the accounts of survivors. In interviews, Wilson has denied any wrongdoing and said that claims of sexual abuse will be directed to the proper authorities.

Hegseth’s actions as secretary of defense concerning gender identity and banning trans people from serving in the military, in addition to stripping gay activist and politician Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy ship, have brought more attention to the CREC. I believe that given Hegseth’s role as secretary of defense, his affiliation with the CREC will likely remain a topic of conversation throughout the Trump presidency.

Tom Horman's ICE Itch Needs Christian Balm: Preparation H to the Rescue?

The bigots pray Jesus and God, then they prey on the least among us.

They must have not read the friggin' bible they pretend to abide by. 

In Matthew 25, Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40). Here, “the least of these” refers to those in need - whether hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, or imprisoned (Matthew 25:35-36), or destitute migrants and immigrants!

By pointing to the act of service toward these individuals as service to himself, Jesus emphasizes that caring for the marginalized is an inseparable part of genuine faith. The life and ministry of Christ consistently highlight concern for the poor, powerless, and disenfranchised.

How can Trump's fake pseudo-Christian criminals miss Jesus's message? They're not Christians, they're bigotted assholes. And only dumb Christians listen to them without watching their actions.

Don't miss the comment below on actor Russell Brand who "became a right-wing Christian following sexual misconduct allegations". Like all of Trump's Nazi gangsters and other conservative Evangelical bigots, he found right-wing christianity a good place to hide his criminality.

Trump’s Border Czar Loses His Mind Over ICE Protests at Conservative Summit
Naomi LaChance and Althea Legaspi
Sun, July 13, 2025



White House “border czar” Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem played good cop, bad cop at a right-wing conference on Saturday. Both continued to push President Donald Trump administration’s agenda to ramp up Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and raids as it attacks undocumented migrants across the U.S.

While Noem began her speech with prayer, Homan struck a threatening tone toward protesters. There were several dozen protesters gathered outside the event, according to photos from Fox News. “You know what? I’m sick of the assholes. You want some? Come get some,” he said, adding that a heckler in the audience “ain’t got the balls to be an ICE officer.”

As top immigration officials in Trump’s administration, Noem and Homan are the TV spokespeople for the president’s sweeping, militarized immigration crackdown and his campaign of arbitrary arrests by masked, undercover agents. These operations are likely to expand to more blue cities now that Congress just gave ICE tens of billions of dollars to hire 10,000 more agents. Homan said Friday on Fox News that ICE does not need probable cause and can detain people based on “physical appearance.”

Noem and Homan spoke at the weekend-long Student Action Summit held in Tampa Bay by Turning Point USA — the far-right, Christian nationalist group founded by Charlie Kirk, who is slated to close out the summit on Sunday afternoon. The event also featured Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard; political commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson; Riley Gaines, a former swimmer and transphobe who’s mad about tying for 5th place with a trans woman at a swim meet; and actor Russell Brand, who became a right-wing Christian following sexual misconduct allegations. He delivered an energetic, chaotic speech about how he no longer speaks with his “groin.”

“My whole career speaking from my midriff,” he said, before Homan came on.

Homan had glowing reviews of the Trump administration. “Unlike the last administration,” Homan said, “President Trump’s policies are saving lives every day, and I wake up like a kid in a candy shop every day I’m working with this guy. And every day is an adventure, because I knew he’s going to let us do what we do to not only secure the border but remove millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden let in this country.”

Toward the beginning of Homan’s speech, he was interrupted by a heckler, who asked if Homan was a member of MS-13. The audience booed and then Homan led them in a chant of “USA! USA!”

“This guy wouldn’t know what it’s like to serve his nation,” he said. “This guy ain’t got the balls to be an ICE officer. He hasn’t got the balls to be a border patrol agent. This guy lives in his mother’s basement. The only thing that surprised me, you don’t have purple hair and a nose ring. Get out of here, you loser. And if you’re such a badass, meet me off stage in 13 minutes and 50 seconds.”

“I guarantee you he sits down to pee,” Homan added.

Trump’s border czar came back to the topic of protesters several times in his speech. “If these protesters, these people with purple hair with a nose ring who live in their parents’ basement, who don’t work and want to go protest us, or getting paid by people if they think they’re going to stop ICE or stop Border Patrol from doing their job, they got another thing coming, because every time they double down, we’re going to triple down.”

The Trump administration is leading an unprecedented mass deportation campaign targeting immigrants, and the president sent in National Guard troops and Marines into Los Angeles following protests against ICE’s arrests at worksites and courthouses.

Noem, who leads the Department of Homeland Security and thus oversees ICE and mass arrests and deportation of migrants, offered a religious speech, at a time when Christian leaders are increasingly condemning Trump and Republicans’ immigration policies. She began by offering a prayer for law enforcement officers.

“Grateful we come before you, extremely thankful for the blessings that you have given us, Lord, recognizing that we are a privileged people living in the greatest experiment on Earth, Lord,” she said. “You have given us a country that defends our freedoms and our liberties.”

Noem, who, again, is indiscriminately deporting and incarcerating people, said everyone is “worth something in God’s eyes,” as part of a longer message about George Washington.

“George Washington put his faith first, and then he called people to fight,” she said. “He called them to go out there and to act as Christians, to go out there and to defend our rights and our freedoms. But when you go forward and do that with morals and with values, and understand that every person out there is worth something in God’s eyes, but yet we can disagree with them and still protect our freedoms and liberties. That’s invaluable. And the general that gave us this country and became our first president understood it better than anybody else.”

Senile Don Wants to Strip US-Born Rosie O'Donnell of her US Ctizenship

He knows he can't strip US-born people of their citizenship because the Constitution says he can't. But like the brute idiot that he is, he says he wants to do it because it projects an image of a "strong man" to the herd of 77 million imbeciles who voted for him.

Rosie is not even a "birthright citizen" for the jackass-in-chief to threaten her. THE US IS NOT HIS FATHER'S FARM TO DO AS HE PLEASES. Her father was an Irish immigrant, but her mother was a US-born American of Irish ancestry. 

But Rosiehas over the years been a thorn in Donald Dumb's side. She often described him in less than complimentary terms. And of course, the illiterate ignoramus has no measure to his language: He overshoots and hyperbolizes with uppercase letters like the demented moron that he is.

Apparently he is giving "serious consideration’ to revoking Rosie's U.S. citizenship and says that "she is a threat to humanity", a quailification better suited to himself and his fascist, autocratic, zionist bully friends than to someone like Rosie.

After reading his early morning post on Truth Social yesterday, she authoritatively replied on Instagram:

“The president of the usa has always hated the fact that I see him for who he is – a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself – this is why I moved to ireland – he is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity- i stand in direct opposition all he represents- so do millions of others – u gonna deport all who stand against ur evil tendencies – ur a bad joke who can't form a coherent sentence.”

Back in March, O’Donnell said that she left the United States to take up permanent residence in Ireland, a move largely motivated by Trump’s election to the presidency.

 

American "Schutzpolizei Führer" Tom Horman to Arrest People on "Physical Appearance"

I wonder if in Nazi Germany, the Schutzpolizei (SchuPo; state protection police) could tell a German Jew from a Protestant German or a Catholic German just by looking at their physical appearance. Of course, the Jew back in those days of Western eugenics and social darwinism (Germany, the US, Britain... all of them really were antisemitic creeps) was cartooned as having a prominent nose, a hunched back etc...

So if Tom Whoreman is following the model of his beloved German Nazis, he should have become adept at telling an "undocumented migrant" from a "documented migrant" by simply looking at them. But you and I know that he is not after the "undocumented" or the "documented", migrant, immigrant or US citizen.... He is after anyone with a darker complexion, a Latino, Asian, Arab look.... or anyone originating in one of those "shithole" countries that Senile Don hates so much, because the Don wants to bleach American white.

You see, white Americans who were born and bathed in racism ever since they were in diapers have become shrewd experts at deciphering the "legal status" (by which they mean the undesirable "race") of people around them. People, I might add, whom they brought in either to do the menial work they themselves do not want to do, or people whom they brought in to improve the country with their skills in engineering, science, technology, and all manner of savvy that the white rube peasant descendants of English and other Anglo-Saxon crooks do not have. 

The dumb middle of white America - otherwise known as white trash - is a useless herd of consumers, not producers. They can't be at the top (they are not smart), and they don't like to be at the bottom (they are lazy). So when these "others" (undocumented, documented, migrant, immigrant, student, visiting scholar, green card holders and even US citizens) have accomplished the tasks for which they brought them in, the peasants want them out of the country. 

This happens in cycles throughout the short history of the United States, like so: whites say, "we can't fly rockets" so let us bring in the Nazi V-rocket builder Wernher Von Braun to do it for us, then start a Nazi hunt. Whites say, "I don't want to pick fruits in the sun, I don't want to clean toilets because I am white like God", so they let in darker migrants to do these menial jobs, but soon want them out too. They did it with the Chinese: Brought them in to build the railroad, and once the railroad completed, the white trash enacted a "Chinese Exclusion Act" to stop all Chinese immigration. I guess slavery developed in the white peasants a distorted sense of gratitude.

White House border czar suggests ICE can detain people based on ‘physical appearance’
Steve Benen
Fri, July 11, 2025 

Nearly six months into his tenure as the White House’s “border czar,” Tom Homan has made a great many controversial public comments, about everything from due process to prosecuting news organizations to his curious focus on Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

But we’re often reminded that his rhetorical record is still growing.

In his latest Fox News appearance, Homan said: “Look, people need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them. They just need totality of the circumstances, right? They just go through the observation, get our typical facts — based on the location, the occupation, their physical appearance, their actions.”

NBC News reported earlier this year about concerns related to racial profiling as part of the Trump’s administration immigration raids, and hearing the White House border czar talk about ICE agents being able to detain people based on “their physical appearance” will likely make those concerns worse.

What's more, Homan's on-air comments sparked quick pushback from Capitol Hill. Rep. Daniel Goldman said via Bluesky that the border czar's assessment was "patently false."

The New York Democrat added, "DHS has authority to question and search people coming into the country at points of entry. But ICE may not detain and question anyone without reasonable suspicion — and certainly not based on their physical appearance alone. This lawlessness must stop."

Complicating matters, this was not Homan’s only notable quote from the last 24 hours. He also spoke with Politico and talked up the idea of reaching new agreements on third-party deportations. “When you’ve got countries that won’t take their nationals back, and they can’t stay here, we find another country willing to accept them,” Homan said.

As part of the same interview, Politico noted the recent Supreme Court ruling that cleared the way for eight men to be deported to South Sudan. The border czar said he was unsure of the status of the eight men — or whether they are detained there — saying that they are no longer in U.S. custody.

“They’re living in Sudan. And will they stay in Sudan? I don’t know,” he said. “When we sign these agreements with all these countries, we make arrangements to make sure these countries are receiving these people and there’s opportunities for these people. But I can’t tell if we remove somebody to Sudan — they can stay there a week and leave. I don’t know.”

This report has been updated with Rep. Goldman's reaction to Homan's comments.

Republican Ponzi Scheme in the Backward Southern Slavery State of Georgia

The filth of Southern Republicans is unassailable. It's got Pat Robertson, the Messiah Senile Don, Batty Boy Lindsey, and God - in that order - on its side.

White Bad Boy Brant Frost IV (he's heir to a dynasty !) will soon be crying on TV asking for repentance from Jesus.

Thank the Big Bang for the Federal Government. This should explain to you why Senile Don and his GOP-MAGA criminal morons want to get rid of the federal government. Without a federal government, the State of Georgia would be more like Afghanistan-on-the-Chattahoochee.

Since Bad Boy Brant frost IV has his head up Senile Don's caudal aperture, the latter will soon be going after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in retribution.

Federal officials say a prominent Georgia Republican was running a $140 million Ponzi scheme

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) — A prominent Georgia Republican was running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded 300 investors of at least $140 million, federal officials alleged in a complaint filed Thursday.

The civil lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said First Liberty Building and Loan, controlled by Brant Frost IV, lied to investors about its business of making high-interest loans to companies. Instead, investigators said, it raised more money to repay earlier investors.

Frost is alleged to have taken more than $19 million of investor funds for himself, his family and affiliated companies even as the business was going broke, spending $160,000 on jewelry and $335,000 with a rare coin dealer. Frost is also said to have spent $320,000 to rent a vacation home over multiple years in Kennebunkport, Maine, the town where the family of late president George H. W. Bush famously spent summers.

The SEC said Frost kept writing checks even after the commission began its investigation.

First Liberty said last month that it would stop making loans and paying interest and principal to investors in those loans. The company said it was not answering phone calls or emails.

First Liberty has not responded to an email seeking comment, and no one was present at its office Thursday evening in Newnan, a suburb southwest of Atlanta. A lawyer who acts as the company's registered agent for corporate purposes said earlier that he had no information.

The collapse rocked the religious and political networks that the business drew investors from. It also could have ramifications in state Republican politics, cutting off funding to the far-right candidates that Frost and his family have favored. Investigators said Frost spent $570,000 from investor funds on political contributions.

The SEC said the business had only $2.67 million in cash as of May 30, although regulators are also seeking to claw back money from Frost and associated companies. With 300 investors out $140 million, that means the average investor put in nearly $500,000.

First Liberty said it made loans to companies that needed cash while they waited for more conventional loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration. It charged high rates of interest — 18% on some loans, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press. First Liberty promised investors equally high rates of return — 16% on the 18% loans.

In recent months the business advertised heavily on conservative radio shows promising “Wall Street returns for Main Street investors.”

“The promise of a high rate of return on an investment is a red flag that should make all potential investors think twice or maybe even three times before investing their money,” Justin C. Jeffries, associate director of enforcement for the SEC’s Atlanta Regional Office, said in a statement.

The company has represented that it is “cooperating with federal authorities as part of an effort to accomplish an orderly wind-up of the business.” The SEC said Frost and his companies agreed to the SEC's enforcement actions “with monetary remedies to be determined by the court at a later date.”

While the SEC says there were loans to companies, as many as 90% of those companies have defaulted. By 2021 the company was running as a Ponzi scheme, the complaint said, even as Frost withdrew increasing amounts of money.

The business is being investigated by the Georgia secretary of state for possible violations of securities law said Robert Sinners, a spokesperson for the office.

A 2023 document obtained by the AP is titled as a “promissory note,” and Sinners said anyone issuing promissory notes is supposed to be registered with Georgia securities officials.

Sinners encouraged any victims to contact the state Securities Division.

Federal prosecutors have declined to comment on whether they are considering criminal charges. Sometimes both an SEC civil case and a federal criminal case are filed over investment frauds.

Frost has been an important player in Georgia politics since 1988, when he coordinated televangelist Pat Robertson’s Republican presidential bid in the state. His son, Brant Frost V, is chairman of the Coweta County Republican Party, where the company is based, and is a former second vice-chair of the state Republican Party. Daughter Katie Frost is Republican chairman of the 3rd Congressional District, which includes Coweta County and other areas southwest of Atlanta. [It's a traditional Christian conservative republican family farm whose role model is none else than Senile Don]

At last month’s state Republican convention, Katie Frost chaired a nominating committee that recommended delegates reelect state Party Chairman Josh McKoon. Delegates followed that recommendation, rejecting a number of insurgent candidates.

The "American Dream" Works for Big Business, not for Debt-Burdened Americans

Americans live with debt like conjointed siamese twins. They're inseparable. Since they can't afford anything because they spend all their money on bills, scams, all the extras - the "wants" in business jargon - that would actually come close to an unreal dream, Americans buy on debt.

It is Un-American to live debt-free. Credit Card companies and banks will penalize you with a lower credit score if you live debt-free. Consuming and buying junk is a patriotic duty, Americans are told, as it drives growth in the economy. But growth does not benefit the American people, it benefits giant corporations, insurance companies, banks, credit card companies and the like that literally prevent people from saving any money.

Read and learn why those giant corporations are pushing us into a no-cash economy. The more you use plastic to pay, the more they profit from money you give them freely.

I hate the Houston Airport where the only thing you can buy with cash is a donut. You can't pay for a decent meal with cash. Every seat in the airport has a screen facing you. They won't leave you alone. They want you to consume and pay with a credit card.

Tucker Carlson Asks Dave Ramsey Why Credit Cards Are a Problem If You Pay Them Off — Ramsey Says, 'That's the Great Lie... Most People Don't'
Ivy Grace
Fri, July 11, 2025

Most Americans think they're playing it smart with credit cards—earning points here, dodging interest there. But when Tucker Carlson asked financial guru Dave Ramsey a simple question—"What's wrong with having a credit card if you pay the balance every month?"—he didn't expect the answer to unravel a myth baked into American consumer habits.

"Most people don't," Ramsey replied. "That's the great lie." He added, "Everybody talks about this theoretical discipline that they just freaking don't have."

It wasn't just a hot take—it was backed by data. "78% roll the balance over month to month," Ramsey said. "Just like 97% of the people don't pay a 30-year mortgage like a 15."

Carlson, who invited Ramsey onto "The Tucker Carlson Show" last October, seemed genuinely surprised. But Ramsey wasn't finished. He pointed to the emotional grip credit cards have on Americans. "People have physical reactions when they cut up their credit cards. I mean they're—they're crying, they're shaking."

Ramsey, who built a financial empire around the idea of living debt-free, doesn't own a single credit card. "I don't have credit cards. I haven't, you know, in 30-something years," he said. "I have debit cards on my business and debit cards on my personal account, and I use it like most people use a credit card."

He argued debit cards do everything credit cards do—just without the risk. "If you're going to pay your credit card off every month and you're really going to do that, then a debit card will work... it's the exact same freaking thing."

But for most people, it doesn't play out that way. "The average American right now is $37,000 in credit card debt," Ramsey said. "They charge 18 to 28%... so you run that out times 300 million and you've got some money coming into good old Chase."

When Carlson asked why credit card companies seem untouchable—never facing backlash the way banks, corporations, or politicians do—Ramsey pointed to marketing. "We're taught again with the most repetitive sophisticated marketing over the longest period of time in human history... we've been taught don't leave home without it."

He called the messaging so effective it's become something of a religion. "It's an altar that we worship at," Ramsey said. "And it's not."

He even took aim at people who claim to be making money with cards. "People with a master's degree in finance: ‘I got 1% back on my Discover card.' So you're going to run 100 grand through your Discover card to get $1,000 back. On what planet does that build wealth?"

Carlson laughed but stayed focused. "So you're just saying, your argument is they're just too dangerous."

"It's not even that it's that dangerous. If you are paying it off every month, it's not going to bankrupt you," Ramsey said. But even then, he warned, the psychological impact of using plastic changes how people spend.

"When you swipe plastic, you spend 12 to 18% more than if you lay down actual cash," he said, citing an MIT study. "Because cash, when you see Benjamin looking at you, activates the pain center of the brain."

With cards—or worse, Apple Pay—there's no mental friction. "You just moved your phone around like you just returned an email or a text and now you're walking out of Home Depot with another tool."

Even the way stores hand back your card tricks the brain. "When you hand someone a piece of plastic at the store, they hand you the groceries or the shirt back with the plastic," he said. "When you hand them money, they just hand you the shirt."

Ramsey and his wife still pay for groceries in cash. "Sharon still carries an envelope with cash in it in her purse for—it says groceries on it," he said.

Despite the cultural dependence on cards, Ramsey says it doesn't have to be that way. Debit cards work for car rentals and hotel bookings, and fraud protection exists for both. "You actually have to have money in your freaking account in order to spend it," he said.

To him, the risks, the habits, and the industry profits all add up to one conclusion: "There's no point."

Trump's Nazi ICE-Gestapo Detains 71-Year Old US Grandmother

The ICE-Gestapo Nazi Police of Donald Dumb are cowards. They cover their faces like the KKK, they wear no name badges. They are violent racists who don't want to be known to their neighbors, friends and relatives because they know what they are doing is wrong and will one day come back to haunt them. The only identification they display is the word "Police", they don't want to be filmed or see their violent aggressions against defenseless US citizens and immigrants documented. 

Their role model, the German Nazi Gestapo police, was not afraid of notoriety; they were proud of it. But still, their past came back to haunt them when the dust settled and the Fascists were evicted from power, which is likely to happen in the US much sooner than anyone expects. Many German Nazis, up and down the chain of command, were tried and sent to jail, and the most violent were executed, even as all of them claimed innocence for simply "executing orders". 

But the law does not exculpate criminals who say they didn't know that what they did was illegal or amoral. Just as you can't tell a state trooper that you did not know the law to escape punishment for a violation. 

I've met many police officers and generally they were either nuts or racists or violent jerks. One of them, a state trooper with whom I went on a diving trip once to the Caribbean was an arrogant nutcase. He kept breaking the rules, like diving alone or diving deeper than safety allows. He was constantly getting drunk and causing problems for the group. 

Another state trooper was corrupt. He schemed with his girlfriend who had an old car with a broken mirror to set me up: Without him present on the scene, she was blocking traffic on a side bypass road linking two highways. Snow banks were on both sides on the narrow road. I waited for her to move, but she wouldn't. I honked politely twice, but she wouldn't budge. I then passed her by going on the opposite lane and went my way. But this was a trap. 

She followed me to the highway while speaking on her cell phone, and five minutes later, the state trooper by the last name of Leduc showed up and pulled me over. He said I had broken her mirror, which I didn't do. My pickup truck is huge compared to her tiny toyota and couldn't possibly have touhed her car when I passed her over. If my truck had touched her car, I would have stopped. Leduc gave me two options and one minute to decide: either he'll file a criminal citation for "hit and run", or I could settle iot "civilly" (i.e. through insurance). I chose to settle it civilly; I wasn't going to waste my time going to court to challenge the citation, nor did I want to have a criminal misdemeanor on my record. When I contacted my insurance company shortly afterwards to tell them what had happened, they weren't going to investigate the corruption because it was "cheaper" to pay the $150 for the mirror than to accuse a state trooper of corruption.   

Senile Don's government and his ICE-Gestapo police have gone too far down the path of a brutal dictatorship that it has become afraid of its own people.

Why Did ICE Agents Arrest and Detain a 71-Year-Old U.S. Citizen?
Robert McCoy
Sat, July 12, 2025




Earlier this week—in a story that reads as a perfect encapsulation of abuses by Trump’s immigration enforcement—masked ICE agents roughed up and detained a 71-year-old U.S. citizen volunteering as a legal observer to monitor them at a federal courthouse in San Diego.

Grandmother Barbara Stone says she was documenting the detention of asylum-seekers with the group “Detention Resistance” at San Diego’s immigration court when she was baselessly accused of pushing an officer. Multiple masked agents then pursued Stone, grabbed and handcuffed her (leaving bruises), confiscated her phone and purse, and detained her for over eight hours, she says.

Once Stone was released, ICE returned her bag but kept possession of her phone. Why? Stone says an ICE agent compared the situation to “a drug bust where they keep a drug dealer’s phone because I had used it in the crime.”

But the only “crime” of which Stone says she’s guilty is documenting immigration enforcement. If this is true, the episode would track with other apparent attempts by ICE agents to avoid accountability of late, for instance, by wearing masks so they can conduct raids and arrests anonymously.

In a statement to a local outlet, ICE accused Stone of assaulting an officer, citing “a 700% increase in assaults” against its agents over the last year (a statistic the agency uses to justify agents concealing their identities, as well).

That 700 percent increase, it should be noted, is a somewhat misleading way to say there have been 79 alleged assaults against ICE agents this year, compared to 10 in the same timeframe last year. Meanwhile, ICE interactions have become dramatically more frequent and aggressive.

ICE’s numbers unfortunately deserve further scrutiny, as the agency has been defining “assault” quite loosely. In another high-profile arrest of a U.S. citizen, for example, ICE last month detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander for assault—an accusation not unlike when a schoolyard bully accuses his victim of getting in the way of his fist, as Washington Post columnist Philip Bump put it.

One might add, to this list of questionable ICE allegations, its new claims about Stone.

PREXIT Ahead: Puerto Rico Exposes White American Racism as Colonial Vintage

Our deranged idiot President, Senile Don, thinks that his "genius" lies in stirring up hornets' nests without an ounce of information, knowledge or aforethought. Like a brute rube, he lunges into problems and then sees what happens.

In his racist and xenophobic lunge to "bleach" America and restore its whiteness, he has fucked up big time and might lose the colony of Puerto Rico that the US stole back when it was fashionable to steal other peoples' lands: Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Panama, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and others. Some have become states (Hawaii), others are half-ass state territories like Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Generally, their residents can be US citizens or US nationals, but the territories have no electoral votes to cast for the president or vice president. They participate in the nominating processes (caucuses) but cannot elect voting members of Congress where they are represented by delegates who can vote in congressional committees but not in the House itself.

In other words, give me your land and I'll throw you a symbolic crumb you can chew on for life without any firm identity.

When Senile Don lunged into the "birthright citizenship" morass, applauded by a compliant and subservient Supreme Court that is more like the English monarchy's Court of King's Bench, he had no idea that he was opening a can of worms. Puerto Rico is the perfect example of the half-ass status it is given: The US did not completely merge it into the union (like Hawaii which was literally stolen from its indigenous people by American capitalists and Evangelical religious neandtherals) nor allowing it to go its own way. 

Puerto Ricans are a hybrid Black African, Spanish, Hispanic, Native American population that the White Anglo racists of the US would prefere to keep at a distance. White American racism has a long shelf-life, and Puerto Rico has long suffered from the ambiguity imposed on it by a racist white America that wants the territory but does not want to give it rights.

Senile Don reminds me of Cosmo Kramer's "I didn't think ahead".

The end of birthright citizenship could be an opportunity for Puerto Rican independence
Javier A. Hernandez, opinion contributor
Fri, July 11, 2025



The recent Supreme Court decision leaving open the possibility that President Trump’s denial of birthright citizenship to individuals born on U.S. soil to undocumented parents will be upheld, is sending shockwaves through legal, political, and immigrant communities.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent captured the alarm: “No right is safe.”

But beyond the continental United States, this decision reverberates in a unique and profound way in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory caught in political limbo since 1898.

For more than a century, Puerto Ricans have held U.S. citizenship by statute, not by constitutional guarantee. That statute — the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917 — unilaterally imposed U.S. citizenship on Puerto Ricans (without their consent) not as a recognition of full inclusion, but as a tool of colonial control.

Today, that statutory citizenship is proving to be as vulnerable as its colonial origins. The Supreme Court’s ruling now opens a wider conversation: If U.S. citizenship can be restricted or redefined by federal authorities, what future do Puerto Ricans really have within the U.S. system?

Not much.

The ruling has already been weaponized by the pro-statehood movement in Puerto Rico. Statehood advocates argue that only by becoming a state can Puerto Ricans ensure permanent, constitutionally protected birthright citizenship for future generations. But this narrow, fear-based response ignores both legal precedent and geopolitical logic.

There is a better way — one rooted in dignity, sovereignty and international norms. Puerto Rico can and should become a sovereign nation, either under independence or a Compact of Free Association. In fact, the ruling strengthens the case for independence as the most just and stable long-term solution for Puerto Rico and the U.S. alike.

Under the draft executive order recently proposed for Trump’s consideration, Puerto Rico would become a sovereign nation. Upon independence, the statutory U.S. citizenship conferred by the Jones Act would cease to apply to new births in Puerto Rico.

All individuals born in Puerto Rico after independence would acquire Puerto Rican citizenship — a national identity of their own, defined by Puerto Rican law and values, not those of a distant foreign power.

However, this does not mean the complete severing of U.S. ties for individuals. Children born in Puerto Rico to U.S. citizen parents (as defined under the Immigration and Nationality Act) would remain eligible for U.S. citizenship through a Consular Report of Birth Abroad — a system already in place for U.S. citizens worldwide.

For example, if a U.S. citizen has a baby in Paris, that child can obtain U.S. citizenship. This preserves continuity for families with U.S. roots, while respecting the sovereignty of Puerto Rico to determine its own citizenship policy moving forward.

Moreover, Puerto Ricans who already possess U.S. citizenship at the moment of independence would retain it, and automatically acquire Puerto Rican citizenship as well, becoming dual citizens.

Those who no longer wish to hold U.S. citizenship would have the option to renounce it swiftly and without penalty through the new U.S. Embassy in San Juan, under a fast-track renunciation process that respects personal identity and freedom of choice.

Puerto Rico’s pro-statehood movement seldom mentions the economic costs of statehood. Under current law, most Puerto Ricans do not pay U.S. federal income tax on locally sourced income. This tax exemption would end under statehood, and the consequences would be economically devastating.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office warned in a 2014 report that full application of federal tax laws could collapse Puerto Rico’s fragile economy. Under independence, Puerto Rican citizens would remain exempt from U.S. federal taxes unless they reside in the U.S., as is standard for all foreign nationals.

Meanwhile, the new Republic of Puerto Rico would design and implement its own national tax system based on its unique economic needs and priorities.

A sovereign Puerto Rico should and would still remain interconnected with the U.S. A free-transit agreement — allowing visa-free travel between the two nations for both U.S. and Puerto Rican citizens — would enable family unity, tourism, trade and opportunities without requiring assimilation or dependence.

In fact, this clarity of status would help Puerto Ricans make informed decisions about their identity and future.

Those who feel primarily American and wish to maintain birthright U.S. citizenship for their children could relocate to any state in the U.S. Those who feel primarily Puerto Rican and seek to maintain their national culture, identity, and Spanish language — would finally live in a nation where their citizenship reflects their culture, language, and aspirations.

Importantly, independence would also halt the practice of foreigners giving birth in Puerto Rico solely to acquire U.S. citizenship for their children — often with no intention of integrating into Puerto Rican society.

Sovereignty would give Puerto Rico the authority to define and defend its own naturalization and immigration policies, protecting both its demographic and cultural integrity.

The U.S. Supreme Court has unwittingly accelerated a long-overdue reckoning.

If U.S. citizenship for Puerto Ricans is no longer secure, then neither is the colonial-style arrangement that produced it. Rather than cling to an uncertain future within a union that has never truly welcomed them, Puerto Ricans now face a historic opportunity to define themselves on their own terms.

Independence does not mean isolation, but unity with the global community of nations. It means liberty with dignity, citizenship with identity and a relationship with the United States based on respect, not colonial subordination.

The end of birthright U.S. citizenship in Puerto Rico could be, paradoxically, the beginning of Puerto Rican nationhood. The path forward is clear for those who believe in justice, democracy and decolonization.

Puerto Rico must become a sovereign nation — not just for legal reasons, but for the dignity of its people and the fulfillment of its historical destiny.

Simple-minded pro-Trump Canadian Denied Entry to US

Yeah, and it is with the same mindest of idiots like Chris "Laundry" that 77 million American imbeciles voted for Trump, and that Canada could one day become the 51st state?

I do wish that anglophoney Canada be swallowed into the US, leaving Québec a free independent state. Where are you, Parti Québecois to seize the moment and have the anglophoney Canadians beg you to stay? But beware, do not let them into Québec, they'll turn you into a "Cajun" minority for tourists to leer over you as if you are weird animals in a zoo.
========================================================
Canadian Cowherder Imbecile with a US Green Card no Longer Supports Trump for Egotistical Reason: Trump Denied Him Re-Entry into the Christian Conservative Heavenly Resort called the U.S.


Chris "Dirty" Laundry, a French-turned-English Canadian woodsman chameleon from the conservative cowherder state of New Hampshire, sobbing on TV because he voted for Trump who has now kicked him out of the US despite having a luminescent fluorescent green card that shines in the darkest of the New Hampshire backwoods where he lives with his cows, his children and his wife. His children, born in the US, might have to give up on their "birthright citizenships" soon, in which case they can all become Canadians for a while until Trump annexes Canada. 

The New Hampshire cowherder is now reneging on his support for President Donald Trump after he was denied entry to the United States and “treated like a criminal” by border agents.

Chris Laundry, 46, is a Canadian national who has lived in New Hampshire since he was a toddler. He said he has visited his home country annually without issue for decades, but things changed for the worse on Sunday.

That’s when Laundry was informed at a Maine border crossing—on his way home from a family vacation with three of his 5 children—that his green card had been revoked and that he would be arrested if he tried to return home without permission.

“I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again’ and having a strong, unified country and a bright future for my five birthright American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he said. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.” Buyer beware, says the adage.

"Dirty" Laundry was detained for three hours at the port of entry in Houlton, Maine, and was questioned about decades-old charges for marijuana possession and driving under a suspended license. The border officers offered to wash him off his former sins by praying for Jesus and buying Donald Trump's bible for $65 US. Indeed, he was convicted of those charges in 2004 and 2007 and paid fines for both. But apparently, human justice is different from heavenly justice. He said that he received a suspended 60-day prison sentence for each charge and has not had any other run-ins with the law, and he prays five times a day, at dawn, at sunrise, at noon, at dusk and at night. 

That did not stop border agents from treating him like a criminal, he said.

“I never expected that I wouldn’t be able to go back home,” he said. “It was scary. I felt like I was being treated like a criminal.”

Laundry said he blames the sudden change in his legal status on the White House. He has had a green card since 1981. Asked why his misdemeanor convictions had only become a problem decades later, he said, “Because of the new administration and their new policies.” That is a surprise, what with Trump being the new messiah who will stop all wars and bring heavenly peace on earth.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, overseen by the ICE Barbie Secretary Kristi Noem, defended its decision to deny Laundry re-entry in a statement on Thursday.

“Possessing a green card is a privilege, not a right, and under our nation’s laws, our government has the authority to revoke a green card if our laws are broken and abused,” it said. “Lawful Permanent Residents presenting at a U.S. port of entry with previous criminal convictions may be subject to mandatory detention and/or may be asked to provide additional documentation to be set up for an immigration hearing.”

A Facebook page for Laundry includes his “cover photo,” posted on Nov. 6, a day after Trump’s election win, depicts a red wave towering over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Laundry’s case is similar to that of Kasper Eriksen, another imbecile father of four from the even more backwater slavery state of Missipippi who made social media posts in support of Trump. He too has been hurt by the Dumb administration’s crackdown on immigrants. Eriksen has not been accused of any crime but was abruptly arrested at a naturalization interview in Tennessee. He has been in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody for months, stemming from a missed paperwork deadline over a decade old. The poor sap.

Laundry says he is staying with his family in New Brunswick, Canada, until he can figure out his next steps, but he fears he will never be able to live in the U.S. with his children again. He said he hopes to plead with an immigration judge to allow him to return. I think he should wait it out until Canada becomes the 51st state. It might take another 50 years, but hey!

My advice to Laundry: Send a letter to Donald Dumb praising him as the greatest man to have ever lived on earth since recorded history, with an AI-generated picture showing you, Laundry, licking Trump's bleach-white caudal aperture. Donald Dumb might lift sanctions off Canada for one day, just long enough for you to enter the US and kidnap your kids back to Canada.

“A misdemeanor shouldn’t be a deciding factor on the rest of my life,” he told the Keene Sentinel. Well, Mr. Laundry, you should have used your brain when supporting Trump instead of believing the deranged idiot's lies. Problem with idiots is that they never learn from experience and experiment. That is why they hate science which advances from experience to experience until reaching the truth. 

Epidemic of White US-Born American Females Sexually Abusing Children

She's not a migrant, she's not an immigrant. She's "pure" (although they're all congenital bastards) white US-born american woman, and depraved. Fox News would call the abused children's mothers "Angel Moms" by making up a story about how a dark-skinned "illegal" immigrant abused their children.

The problem with "white Americans" is that regardless of whether their great grandparents arrived to America on the Mayflower or whether they arrived from Ireland in the 1990s when Ted Kennedy gave all the illegal Irish imigrants a free pass (because the M-----fucker was himself of Irish stock) or whether they arrived via a filthy third class ticket with tuberculosis and lice on board a transatlantic from central Europe circa 1910....The problem with these people is that they are all ILLEGAL. The land did not belong to them.

It doesn't matter if they put a guy with a kepi at the dock to abuse, quarantine, de-lice and "legalize" the ignorant European peasant riffraff, the tempest-tost refuse that were your grandparents... You were all illegal when you landed, mass-murdered the indigenous Amerindians, expelled them into reservations and took their land and country. It doesn't matter if the Amerindians weren't organized as a "country" but were independent nations scattered across the land. You still killed them to steal their land. You even distorted songs to make yourself sound civilized, "Your land is my land, it's no longer your land"...

You kidnapped millions of Black Africans, men, women and children from their own land where they lived free and transferred them like cattle in the dungeons of your cargo ships to America, "the land of the free". Then you built up America on their backs with whips and rapes as they harvested the sugar cane and the cotton, you the sons of "the land of the brave but lazy". 






 

What you, WHITE ANGLO-SAXONS, did to the European Jews over 5 years pales in comparison to what you did to the Africans over a 250-year period. Yet the "White" Jews deserve and continue to receive compensations from Germany from 80 years ago, but no American compensation for "Black" Africans for what was done just over 150 years ago. Justice, mon derrière?

None of the distortions of history will change what happened. English parasites had colonized the planet and enriched itself on the back-breaking labor of all these "other" people Donald Trump is dejecting today from this cursed America that was born in sin and crime. More than half of white Americans think and believe like Ann Coulter, the white racist conservative Christian bitch who recently said, "we didn't kill enough Indians", and this in a very repressive media environment. Just imagine all the racist garbage that is stewing in her brain but dares not say. She might as well have said, "we should have kept the Black Africans enslaved to replace all the Latin Americans we are deporting". Someone should deport this woman back to her English peasant dumpster. Perfidious Albion!

How dare you claim the upper rung on the ladder of humanity when you are at the very bottom?

And now, under this digusting ignorant imbecile that runs America, there are many more whites committing atrocious crimes that no one talks about. Instead, the focus is to beat up on the hard-working descendants of the white Spanish-abused indigenous Americans of Latin America who too are building America by picking its pesticide poison-laced vegetables and fruits for your tables, who slaughter your antibiotic-hormone-fattened animals for your burgers, and who keep your poison-infested lawns fakely green....

That has been the story of the United States. Creepy English illegal migrant peasants rebelling against an equally creepy English crook monarch because of a tax, while abusing millions of innocent Black Africans and native Americans, and calling it a heroic revolution. The American experiment is ongoing. It is not finished. Everyone knows where it is headed ultimately. And Trump is trying to slam the brakes on the inexorable natural course of events whose destiny is to make a correction for the abuse, the slaughter, the ethnic cleansing, the mass murder, the enslavement, the displacement, the internment into concentration camps and ghettos, and now the hunt for anyone who cannot claim to haver Donald Dumb's "beautiful white skin".

NJ elementary teacher accused of sexually abusing student, having his child when he was 13

A New Jersey elementary school teacher was indicted for allegedly abusing a student over the course of several years, while it is also being reported that she gave birth to the boy’s child.

Laura Caron, 34, a former fifth-grade teacher at Middle Township Elementary School, is accused of engaging in an inappropriate sexual relationship with the student who had been residing in her home, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office said.

The abuse allegedly started when the boy was 11 in 2016 and carried on for four years until 2020 when he was 15. During this time period, prosecutors said, Caron was employed as a fifth-grade teacher at the Middle Township Elementary School.

Police began their investigation last year after receiving a tip that the victim’s father had made a post on Facebook claiming that Caron’s 5-year-old child looked like his son, according to court documents.

The outlet reported that Caron had taught the victim and at least one of his siblings. The boy’s family later became friends with Caron and at some point, the victim and his siblings began staying with Caron once or twice a week, before they began living with Caron permanently from 2016 to 2020, the outlet reported.

Court documents also allege that the victim confirmed to police that he was in a sexual relationship with Caron and that he was the father of her young child. The child was born when the victim was 13 years old.

A friend of Caron’s told the New York Post that the accused threw a baby shower for the child and told friends that the father was "out of the picture."

Caron was arrested in January, with the grand jury's indictment coming down last week. She is now charged with aggravated sexual assault, which carries a penalty of 10 to 20 years in prison, in addition to sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, which each carry potential penalties of five to 10 years, Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland announced.

The prosecutor’s office did not mention anything about the child in its press releases.

"These allegations are deeply disturbing, particularly given the position of trust the defendant held in relation to the victim," Sutherland said.

The Middle Township Police Department investigated the case after the boy's father posted on Facebook, according to a report. (Middle Township Police Department)

"Our office remains committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community and will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute those who violate that trust," he added. 

Elsewhere, last month, a U.S. high school teacher, 35-year-old Alyssa Perry, was accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old former student of hers at her residence in Rockaway Township, New Jersey.

Also, last month, an Illinois grand jury indicted high school teacher Christina Formella, 30, on 20 counts of sexual assault, 20 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, six counts of indecent solicitation of a child and six counts of grooming.

Formella had been accused of sexually assaulting the boy in a classroom during a tutoring session before class began at Downers Grove South High School in December 2023.

The victim’s mother discovered the alleged assault when looking through her son’s text message thread on his cellphone and then contacted police, prosecutors said. 

Could it be that Trump has so inflated the criminal ego bone of these descendants of English colonial crooks that they feel it is OK to break the law like he does. Without Black African slaves to abuse, they are turning to children.

Not to be outdone, the English crooks who gave us the United States are also having their fiesta of sexually abusing children.

A former physical education teacher in the UK appeared in court this week as she faces 13 charges for allegedly committing sexual offenses against three children over a three-year period, according to reports. 29-year-old Bonwen James, of Chippenham, Wiltshire, appeared in the Salisbury Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, after being accused of having sexual activity with a boy and two girls. She apparently does not discriminate on the basis of gender. She's an equal opportunity and DEI radical.

James is charged with four counts of sexual activity with a boy and six counts of sexual activity with girls under the age of 16. She also faces two counts of sexual communication with a child and a single count of producing an indecent photograph of a minor.

And she's blonde. She can claim to be dumb and be exonerated, or Trump could threaten the UK with more tariffs if they don't let her go. He speaks from personal experience.


Former PE teacher Bronwen James leaves Salisbury Magistrates' Court, Wiltshire.

Chippenham Police said in a Facebook post Monday that James taught PE at Hardenhuish School in Shippenham, and Bitterne Park School in Southampton.

The Independent reported that during the court hearing on Wednesday, the chairman of the bench, Stephen Harrison, told James her case would be heard before the Salisbury Crown Court on Aug. 7.

"By virtue of three of these offenses being indictable only, which means they can only be heard in the crown court, we will be sending them to the crown court," Harrison reportedly said. "The other 10 offenses are associated offenses and therefore will be included in the hearing to be heard in front of the crown court."

James was granted bail on the condition that she does not have contact with any of the children in the complaint. She is also prohibited from having any unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 16. When asked if she understood the bail conditions, James reportedly confirmed that she did because she said, "I am not a dumb blonde".

James is just one of a growing list of young white American and English female teachers accused of having sexual activity with children and minors. Perhaps that explains why white European and American men are fleeing their countries to find wives in the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

Another "Abiding-in-God" Texan Conservative Caught Fornicating Out-of-Bounds

What is the matter with all these conservatives, pastors, and other "men of God", especially those from the backwater state of Texas, who say they are for family values and for holding marriage sacred, but are caught engaging in adultery and child sexual abuse? Why the hypocrisy? Why not admit that human nature is what it is and we should learn to live with it, instead of constantly pretending to be committed to a certain set of standards while violating those standards?

Ken Paxton, the sleepy-eyed biblically conservative Attonery General moron from Texas, was caught by his equally doofusly religious and conservative wife with his pants down. If the biblial garbage is their fundamental code of ethics, then the cuckolded Angela Paxton should have Ken stoned in public until death does him part from her. Read her words about how God does this and God does that... Oh, it is so sweet of her to ask for divorce when in fact she should abide by Jesus's own words and stick with her nomadically fornicating husband:

Matthew 5:32: "...but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery"

Mark 10:9: "...What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

But in all religions, the faithful, except those we refer to as extremists or fundamentalists who take religious texts literally, use their religious code "à la carte" as if a restaurant menu from which they choose what they like and ignore the rest. Religious texts are for the most part hallucinating hubris uttered by arrogant diviners and charlatans generally known as "prophets" who told people what to do when they themselves were assuredly not better than those they were instructing.

Clearly, for all our known history, no religion has been able to solve human problems. It seems to me that religions have been more of a useless exercize in aspirational stupidity than a realization and acceptance of human nature. Instead, because of their grandiose claims that can never be proven or because their demands on their faithful can never be satisfied, religions cause frustration, anger, hatred, division, exclusions, wars, and constant bickering.

In this case, Ken Paxton, an attorney general who should know the "law" and abide by it, deviated from it but is choosing to ignore the consequences. Regardless of the sugary language this moron jerk and his stupid wife use to admit to their failure to abide by the very laws they say they subscribe to, they pick what suits them from their garbage religion and discard the rest.

This is called bigotry. Admit it, 38 years of marriage is really too much to bear.

 Texas State Senator Angela Paxton has filed for divorce from the state's Attorney General Ken Paxton, citing "biblical grounds"

In her divorce filing, Angela accused Ken of adultery and said the couple hasn't lived together for over a year.

The couple has been married for 38 years and share four children and five grandchildren

Texas State Senator Angela Paxton announced her split from her husband, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, on Thursday, July 10.

"Today, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds," Angela wrote in a statement on X. "I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.

"I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose," she concluded.

Ken followed shortly after with a statement of his own, though the language he used was notably different.

"After facing the pressures of countless political attacks and public scrutiny, Angela and I have decided to start a new chapter in our lives," he wrote on X.

He added, "I could not be any more proud or grateful for the incredible family that God has blessed us with, and I remain committed to supporting our amazing children and grandchildren. I ask for your prayers and privacy at this time."

In a divorce filing obtained by Austin's NPR member station KUT and The New York Times, Angela accused Ken of adultery and revealed that the couple hadn't been living together since June 2024.

PEOPLE has reached out to Ken for additional comment.

Angela's petition reads, "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation," per KUT.

The couple wed in 1986 and shares four adult children and five grandchildren. Earlier this year, Ken was not pictured in Angela's family photo from Easter on Instagram; however, he was included in past posts from Christmas 2024 and the January 2025 opening of her legislative session.

Ken, a staunch conservative, is currently running for U.S. Senate and will be facing incumbent John Cornyn in the GOP primary next spring.

The state attorney general is no stranger to controversy since taking office in 2015.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Donald Dumb's Russian Roulette

Downtown Beirut with Saint George's Maronite Catholic cathedral next to the Sunni Muslim Blue Mosque, both abutting the remains of Roman Beirut. In ~550 AD, a quake in the Mediterranean caused a tsunami that covered the entire city. The ancient city lies some 40 feet beneath the modern city.

Donald Trump's "art of the deal" in Lebanon is geared to give Netanyahu a life-saving orgasm. It involves pointing two guns, one to each side of the head of the impotent Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun. Impotent because the Christian-by-custom president has been castrated by the 1989 Taif Agreement that the conservative dumb Texan president George Bush Sr. forced on Lebanon to appease the Sunni Muslim Prime Minister and kiss the oily ass of the Sunni Saudis. In Texas, the Bushes are Christians, but in Lebanon they're Sunni Muslims. 

One gun says, "use the army and plunge the country into a civil war to disarm Hezbollah". The other gun says, "Let Israel bomb Lebanon an umpteenth time to dislodge and disarm Hezbollah." Lebanon is sick and tired of Hezbollah, but it doesn’t want a repeat of 1975 when the country tried to disarm the Palestinian guerillas while everyone on the planet calling the Lebanese monsters for beating up on the "poor Palestinian refugees". Never mind that foreign colonial Israel forcibly "transferred" hundreds of thousands of indigenous Palestinians as refugees into Lebanon and refuses to take them back.  

In 1975, a war between the Lebanese and Yasser Arafat's PLO led to a breakdown of the army along sectarian lines. Syria's Assad, whom George Bush Sr. admired, was asked to quell the unruly Lebanese trying to salvage their country. That was GUN NUMBER 1. It led to a brutal 30-year occupation by the last Stalinist regime on earth in Damascus which, truth be told, was the inaugural member of the US's list of state sponsors of terrorism. Bush, Clinton and others kept meeting Assad in Damascus and Geneva, praising him as "cunning" and "keeps his word". But Syria did not deliver the PLO. So, GUN NUMBER 2 was introduced: Israel invaded in 1978, in 1982 and so on and so forth without ever ridding Lebanon of the PLO or its heir Hezbollah. 

So now that a test run was performed by the Israeli artists in which they decimated Hezbollah's capabilities, one wonders how much more should, or can, Hezbollah be quashed? Hezbollah's Iranian sponsor is debilitated, Syria's Assad, a long-time sponsor of Hezbollah, also crushed.... But the Donald Dumb "doctrine" (he is utterly incapable of one, but we'll grant him the benefit of the doubt) remains a mystery unless one invokes the land thieves south of the border. Zionists love land, they are addicted to augment their Nazi "lebensraum" and will steal whatever land is available around. They already took the Golan Heights from Syria, they are stealing Gaza and the West Bank, and I think they want south Lebanon too, a formidable land south of the Litani River known as the Upper Galilee. But they need a pretext, and the pretext is to defend themselves against an emasculated Hezbollah. Israelis have a knack at playing victims of the very people they have been brutalizing for a century.

If President Aoun adopts GUN NUMBER 1 and complies with Trump and attacks Hezbollah with his badly armed army, he is certain to plunge the country into a civil war. For decades, Israel pressured the US not to arm the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) on the pretext that should decent weapons be given to the LAF, those weapons will fall sooner or later into Hezbollah's hands, and this is the army that US is now cornering into fighting Hezbollah! As a result, GUN NUMBER 1 will inevitably misfire, Lebanon will again turn into a jungle like it did with the Palestinians in the 1970s, the army will splinter along sectarian lines, and the ensuing chaos will necessitate the involvement of the US-blessed Syrian army - now more favorable to Israel - i.e. another Syrian occupation by Al-Qaeda and ISIS types, which in turn will require the intervention of the poor victim of all this, the Zionist settler army. Ultimately, the Israelis will occupy and annex South Lebanon south of the Litani. Syria too might grab Lebanese territories it always claimed as its own.

If President Aoun resists the Donald Dumb temptation, GUN NUMBER 2 will set into action with a full-fledged war by Israel against Lebanon on the pretext of disarming Hezbollah. Devastation, destruction, deaths by the tens of thousands, and the outcome is the same: Israel will occupy and annex South Lebanon south of the Litani, but will never completely eradicate Hezbollah.

The question is why even give the Lebanese the option of committing suicide when the alternative also ensures their death by murder? The answer is that if President Aoun takes the civil war approach, Israel can claim deniability in the future by saying that it is these unruly Lebanese who are to blame for the war. Moreover, Israel does not have to spend treasure and life if the Lebanese do the job. They're taking the South anyway, why bother and work hard at it when the Lebanese can do it for them?

This in fact explains why Hezbollah remained armed and threatening for four decades since 1982 and no one tried then to muzzle it, even when it bombed the US Marines Headquarters in Beirut and killed 243 US servicemen and kidnapped dozens of American and western hostages etc. In 1982, the other Republican coward, Ronald Reagan, had his army on the ground in Beirut along with British, French and Italian contingents, the new government of Amin Gemayel was an ally of the US, Israel itself was on the ground, and none of these courageous mighty armies could decimate one-year old poorly developed and armed Hezbollah? Had Reagan not fled Lebanon the morning after his marines were murdered, had he stayed and fought Syria - Iran's theocracy was still in its infancy, it posed no immediate threat - we would not be in the swamp we're in today. It wasn't even kicking the can down the road; it was a deliberate policy of mantaining useless Lebanon in a state of chronic instability to ensure the freedom to intervene at will.

The question every day on Lebanese news is what is President Aoun going to do? I grant that a small country like Lebanon cannot stand up in any serious way to the big players around it. And that attitude has been integrated into the Lebanese DNA. The Lebanese will not take any action unless they are told what to do. And so we wait.

Will President Aoun refuse Trump's ultimatum and unleash a new Israeli assault and invasion? I think that is the more likely scenario. President Aoun does not want to go down in history as the man who presided over a civil war in his country. He'd rather see the Israelis clean his toilets and pick up his garbage, especially since the alternative (GUN NUMBER 1) will invite Al-Qaeda's Syria into the country, with all the jeopardy to the country's Christian minority. In the 1970s, Assad was a secular dictator and he brutalized Lebanon. Imagine what Al-Qaeda's Al-Sharaa will do if Trump invites him into Lebanon to "pacify" the country.

A weakened Iran and Hezbollah gives Lebanon an opening to chart path away from the region’s conflicts − will it be enough?

After a 12-day war launched by Israel and joined briefly by the United States, Iran has emerged weakened and vulnerable. And that has massive implications for another country in the region: Lebanon.

Hezbollah, Tehran’s main ally in Lebanon, had already lost a lot of its fighters, arsenal and popular support during its own war with Israel in October 2024.

Now, Iran’s government has little capacity to continue to finance, support and direct Hezbollah in Lebanon like it has done in the past. Compounding this shift away from Hezbollah’s influence, the U.S. recently laid down terms for a deal that would see the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon in return for the total disarmament of the paramilitary group – a proposal seemingly backed by the Lebanese government.

As an [naive] expert on Lebanese history and culture, I believe that these changing regional dynamics give the Lebanese state an opening to chart a more neutral orientation and extricate itself from neighboring conflicts that have long exacerbated the divided and fragile country’s chronic problems.

The shaping of modern Lebanon

Ideologically, developments in Iran played a major role in shaping the circumstances in which Hezbollah, the Shiite Islamist political party and paramilitary group, was born.

The Iranian Revolution of 1978-79 toppled the widely reviled and corrupt Western-backed monarchy of Shah Mohammad Reza and led to the establishment of an Islamic republic. That revolution resonated among the young Shiite population in Lebanon, where a politically sectarian system that was intended to reflect a balanced representation of Muslims and Christians in the country had led to de facto discrimination against underrepresented groups.

Since Lebanon’s independence from France in 1943, most of the power has been concentrated in the hands of the Maronite Christians and Sunnis, leaving Shiite regions in south Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley lacking in development projects, social services and infrastructure.

At the same time, Lebanon for decades had been irreparably changed by the politics of its powerful neighbor in Israel.

In the course of founding its state in 1948, Israel forcibly removed over 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland – what Palestinians refer to as the Nakba, or “catastrophe.” Many fled to Lebanon, largely in the country’s impoverished south and Bekaa Valley, which became a center of Palestinian resistance to Israel.

In 1978, Israel invaded Lebanon to push Palestinian fighters away from its northern borders and put an end to rockets launched from south Lebanon. This fighting included the massacre of many civilians and the displacement of many Lebanese and Palestinians farther north.

In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon again with the stated purpose of eliminating the Palestinian Liberation Organization that had moved its headquarters to the country’s south [And from Amman, Jordan]. An estimated 17,000 to 19,000 Lebanese and Palestinian civilians and armed personnel were killed during the conflict and the accompanying siege of Beirut.

It was in this cauldron of regional and domestic sectarianism and state abandonment that Hezbollah formed as a paramilitary group in 1985, buoyed by Shiite mobilization following the Iranian revolution and Israel’s invasion and occupation.
Hezbollah’s domestic spoiler status

Over time and with the continuous support of Iran, Hezbollah become an important player in the Middle East, intervening in the Syrian civil war to support the Assad regime and supporting the Kataib Hezbollah, a dominant Iraqi pro-Iranian militia.

In 2016, Secretary General of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah officially recognized Iran’s role in funding their activities.

With Tehran’s support, Hezbollah was effectively able to operate as a state within a state while using its political clout to veto the vast majority of Lebanese parliamentary decisions it opposed. Amid that backdrop, Lebanon endured three long presidential vacuums: from November 2007 to May 2008; from May 2014 to October 2016; and finally from October 2022 to January 2024.

Lebanon also witnessed a series of political assassinations from 2005 to 2021 that targeted politicians, academics, journalists and other figures who criticized Hezbollah.
How the equation has changed

It would be an understatement, then, to say that Hezbollah’s and Iran’s weakened positions as a result of their respective conflicts with Israel since late 2023 create major political ramifications for Lebanon.

The most recent vacuum at the presidential level ended amid Hezbollah’s military losses against Israel, with Lebanon electing the former army commander Joseph Aoun as president.

Meanwhile, despite the threat of violence, the Lebanese opposition to Hezbollah, which consists of members of parliament and public figures, has increased its criticism of Hezbollah, openly denouncing its leadership and calling for Lebanon’s political neutrality.

These dissenting voices emerged cautiously during the Syrian civil war in 2011 and have grown after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks and the subsequent war on Gaza.

During the latest Israel-Iran war, the Lebanese opposition felt emboldened to reiterate its call for neutrality. Enabled by the U.S’s growing tutelage over Lebanon, some opposition figures have even called to normalize relations with Israel.

These efforts to keep Lebanon out of the circle of violence are not negligible. In the past, they would have been attacked by Hezbollah and its supporters for what they would have considered high treason. Today, they represent new movement for how leaders are conceiving of politics domestically and diplomacy across the region.
 The critical regional context going forward

As the political system cautiously changes, Hezbollah is facing unprecedented financial challenges and is unable to meet its fighters’ needs, including the promise to rebuild their destroyed homes. And with its own serious internal challenges, Iran now has much less ability to meaningfully support Hezbollah from abroad.

But none of that means that Hezbollah is defeated as a political and military force, particularly as ongoing skirmishes with Israel give the group an external pretext.

The Hezbollah-Israel war ended with a ceasefire brokered by the United States and France on Nov. 27, 2024. However, Israel has been attacking south Lebanon on an almost daily basis, including three incidents over the course of 10 days from late June to early July that have left several people dead and more than a dozen wounded.

Amid these violations, Hezbollah continues to refuse to disarm and still casts itself as the only defender of Lebanon’s territorial integrity, again undermining the power of the Lebanese army and state.

Lebanon’s other neighbor, Syria, will also be critical. The fall of the Assad regime in December 2024 diminished Hezbollah’s powers in the region and land access to Iraq and Iran. And the new Syrian leadership is not interested in supporting the Iranian Shiite ideology in the region but rather in empowering the Sunni community, one that was oppressed under the Assad dictatorship.

While it’s too early to say, border tensions might translate into sectarian violence in Lebanon or even potential land loss. Yet the new Syrian government also has a different approach toward its neighbors than its predecessor. After decades of hostility, Syria seems to be opting for diplomacy with Israel rather than war. It is unclear what these negotiations will entail and how they will impact Lebanon and Hezbollah. However, there are real concerns about new borders in the region.

The U.S. as ever will play a major role in next steps in Lebanon and the region. The U.S. has been pressing Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, and the U.S Ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack said he was “unbelievably satisfied” by Lebanon’s response thus far. But so far, there has been no fundamental shift on that front.

Meanwhile, despite the calls for neutrality and the U.S pressure on Lebanon, it is hard to envision a new and neutral Lebanon without some serious changes in the region. Any future course for Lebanon will still first require progress toward peace in Gaza and ensuring Iran commits not to use Hezbollah as a proxy in the future.
