A CNN producer acknowledged in an undercover video that the
cable news network has been creating fake news against President Trump
for the past five months.
In a video released by Project Veritas,
CNN supervising producer John Bonifield admitted that stories about
Russia colluding with the Trump administration have no factual proof.
Bonifield has worked for CNN as a journalist and producer for 15 years.
As TMZ reported,
“Bonifield says CNN doesn’t have the goods, but its nonstop coverage
(about Russia) is all about attracting viewers. ... It’s being covered
to death for ratings.”
Two days ago, LifeSiteNews posted a story about a shocking video showing a little girl waving a rainbow flag in front of a nearly nude male dancer during a “gay pride” celebration.
The video was too offensive, so the “dancer” was blurred out. But it
was important in order to draw attention to the super-sexualization of
children through exposure to “Gay Pride” events, which often display
full or partial nudity and provocative simulated sex or dance.
Advocates for Chaldean Christians detained by federal immigration
enforcement are in a race against time to halt their deportation back to
war-torn Iraq.
The U.S. bishops voted on Thursday to make their Ad Hoc Committee on
Religious Liberty a permanent committee of the national bishops’
conference.
“The very idea of religious freedom and its root in human nature is
challenged” today, said Archbishop Lori, chair of the ad hoc committee,
at a meeting of the U.S. bishops Thursday.
Pope Francis participated in a Google Hangout on Friday with youth
from around the world, emphasizing that “everyone has meaning,” even
though the world will try to exclude certain people.
Combatting a world which promotes elitism and exclusion, the Pope
said June 9, “you have a meaning, everyone … has meaning, you have a
meaning, it is in your hands to discover the meaning I have in life,
what I am like, with the potentiality that you can … and how to give
this meaning to others.”
The next bizarre documentary is already making waves, exposing what really happens in occult circles.
The 2015 Occult Crimes recently
joined Netflix's streaming service. The docuseries investigates murders
motivated by a lethal mix of mental illness, role-playing rituals and
bizarre religious beliefs, according to the series' homepage.
An Alabama church bus crashed outside of Atlanta, killing one and
injuring dozens, according to multiple news reports. The bus, from Mount
Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama, was taking high school
students to the airport for a mission trip.
A post on the church's
Facebook page says: "PRAY! One of the buses with the student ministry
mission had an accident on the way to the Atlanta airport. Several
serious injuries. Please pray for those injured and parents as they
travel to Atlanta." Many people who live near the accident scene have
posted on the page, volunteering housing for the families.
The
crash took place around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday along Camp Creek Parkway in Fulton
County near the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, from
where the students were headed to Africa, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. The
bus was overturned and a car was partially underneath it. Police shut
the parkway down following the accident.
Mount Zion, a megachurch
established in 1855, welcomed a new senior pastor, Kevin Moore, last
month. Focused on missions, the church describes itself as "Partnering
with the Holy Spirit in fulfillment of the Great Commission."
After a last-minute meeting with Pope Francis Thursday to discuss the
dire situation of their country, Venezuela’s bishops said they have his
full support in facing the trials of a regime they say oppresses its
people to maintain power.
“The government has as a goal to maintain power at the cost of the
life of any person at all costs,” Archbishop Diego Padrón Sanchez of
Cumana told journalists June 8.
I still remember my first crime. I was 6 or 7-years-old and was
standing with my mother in the grocery store checkout line. As she paid
for our food, I snatched a pack of chewing gum from a nearby rack and
buried it in my pocket.
Ships and planes were scouring the coast of southern Myanmar on
Wednesday after a military aircraft vanished over the Andaman Sea with
122 soldiers, family members and crew on board, the army and civil
aviation officials said.
The left's agenda boils down to three words, Jim Bakker says.
"Tell a lie, tell a lie, tell a lie," Bakker says. "And people will believe it."
Eschatology
expert and prolific author Joel Richardson says it all has to do with
the age we're now in, which is reminiscent of Psalm 2:2-3.
Why
do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the
earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against
the Lord and against His anointed, saying, "Let us tear off their
bonds and cast away their ropes from us."
"When
you look at the Hollywood media, talking about, actually presenting the
idea that this is a positive thing to behead the president, and that's
just Hollywood," Richardson says.
"You have a culture in the United States that is not rational," he continues.
As one of the most iconic moments in American history, D-day always
gets media commemoration. But here's something that many mainstream
outlets don't highlight: former president and liberal darling Franklin
Roosevelt firmly believed that God guided the U.S. in its dark hour in
order to preserve "our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and
to set free a suffering humanity."
A Catholic diocese in the U.K. is encouraging Catholics visiting
pagan shrines to “bow” to pagan images and to eat food “blessed” in
pagan rituals in the spirit of “ecumenism” and “dialogue.”
In its guidelines for visiting pagan shrines, the Catholic Diocese of Hallam
run by Bishop Ralph Heskett, encourages Catholics to bring flowers to
Buddha, bow to the Hindu murtis (image of the deities), and bow to the
Sikh holy book. Catholics are also encouraged to eat the food offered to
them that has been “blessed” in Hindu and Sikh rituals.
Pope Francis said Tuesday that truthfulness is the weapon against the
temptation of hypocrisy, which destroys the community with lies and
flattery.
“The hypocrite is capable of destroying a community. While speaking
gently, he ruinously judges a person. He is a killer,” said the Pope
during his homily at Mass June 6 at the chapel of the Vatican’s Casa
Santa Marta.
A society that relies on reason and technology, without faith, risks
forgetting God and making a deal with the devil, Archbishop Charles J.
Chaput of Philadelphia has warned.
Streets in the centre of the Afghan capital Kabul were closed on
Saturday as authorities tried to prevent a repeat of a demonstration
that degenerated into clashes between protesters and police and left
four people dead.
A rally against the government yesterday following this week's
devastating truck bomb attack in Kabul saw hours of angry confrontation
between protesters and police, who fired into the air to drive back
crowds trying to cross security cordons and reach the presidential
palace.
President Donald Trump on Thursday said he will withdraw the United
States from the landmark 2015 global agreement to fight climate change,
spurning pleas from U.S. allies and corporate leaders in an action that
fulfilled a major campaign pledge.
Supporters of the accord
condemned Trump's move as an abdication of American leadership, an
international disgrace and a monumental foreign policy blunder. His
predecessor, Barack Obama, expressed regret over the pullout from a deal
he was instrumental in brokering.
A new undercover recording
exposes abortion staff illegally telling an underage victim of incest
not to contact authorities and directing her to Medicaid so she can get a
late-term abortion at taxpayer expense.
At 21 years old, Millie Lopus was pregnant and scared. A rising college
senior at Loyola University Maryland, she was being pressured into
having an abortion by her ex-boyfriend, the father of the child.
But after he drove Millie to a nearby Planned Parenthood to set up an
abortion appointment, she recalled having “a silver of grace,” and she
“did not set up an appointment that day.”
Three years ago the Church in Chile launched “Lavandería 21,” a new work
inclusion project for people with Downs syndrome, whose results today
far exceed what was hoped.
It all began in 2012 when the Archbishop Fernando Natalio Chomali Garib
of Concepción learned of this successful initiative in Europe and the
United States, and so he decided to organize one in his archdiocese.
The other day a preacher was sharing with a
group of people who, for various reasons, were broken. Some were hurting
from the effects of divorce or broken homes. Others were damaged due to
years of battling sickness and various addictions. Still others had
recently lost loved ones and were broken-hearted and searching for a
reason. Right in the middle of the speaker sharing some very inspiring
words of encouragement, he inserted a well-known phrase which most of us
have heard many times throughout our lives, one that seems to become
more popular as time goes by. The problem with the statement is that
while it is intended to bring a positive note to a negative event or
situation, it is a notion that is not only anti-biblical but downright
dangerous and almost guarantees continued failure.
President Trump has named Callista Gingrich, the wife of
former House speaker Newt Gingrich, as the next U.S. ambassador to the
Holy See.
Ms. Gingrich, 51, is slated to be the third woman to serve in that
role, following Lindy Boggs, a former Congresswoman who held the job
from 1997 to 2001, and attorney and Harvard professor Mary Ann Glendon,
who occupied the post from 2008 to 2009.
American Family Association (AFA, www.afa.net)
President Tim Wildmon hand-delivered another 500,000 #BoycottTarget
pledge signatures to Target headquarters in Minneapolis, after which AFA
leadership briefly met with Target senior management about the
retailer's dangerous and misguided restroom and fitting room policy that
puts women and children at risk.
Last spring, AFA delivered the
first 1 million signatures to Target leaders, who politely but passively
listened to AFA's concerns over the policy. The past year since that
first meeting has been a dismal one for the retailer, with revenues
falling and stock prices plummeting.
Barack Obama has addressed tens of thousands of Protestant Christians
in Germany, defending his liberal record and saying: 'In this new world
we live in, we can't isolate ourselves – we can't hide behind a wall.'
The former US president was speaking yesterday alongside German
Chancellor Angela Merkel in front of a massive crowd of up to 140,000
which gave him rapturous applause at the biennial congress of the German
Protestant Church.
On Sunday, June
11, at 9:00 p.m. ET/8:00 p.m. CT, TNT network will televise an extremely
graphic and blasphemous program like none we have ever seen. The
trailer appears to be a trashy show about a nail salon and how they
launder drug money, but it is so much more. You can be assured: With a
MA-LSV rating, it is not appropriate for television. Originally, this
so-called "comedy" was to air on HBO with 30-minute episodes, but now it
plans to air on TNT for one hour on Sunday evenings when children and
teens are still awake. This new program goes where no other show has
gone.
For starters, Claws mocks Christianity, insults
Catholicism and ridicules people of faith. This dark show can make
believers sick to their stomachs with the blasphemous content.
Add your voice today. Your support will help One Million Moms stop
this disgraceful new show from entering the American television lineup.
If this program airs, then there will likely be copycats on other
networks in the near future.
Please sign the Stop Claws Petition to urge TNT to immediately cancel Claws in light of the massive public outcry against this show.
Taiwan's
highest court has imposed homosexuality-based "marriage" on the island
nation, instructing parliament that it has two years to pass a law
allowing same-sex “marriages” or they will automatically become legal.
The
Constitutional Court ruling comes after a pro-“Same-Sex Marriage Act”
stalled in the Legislative Yuan, Taiwan’s parliament, after massive opposition protests on the island nation that rivaled recent pro-natural-marriage rallies in France on a per capita basis.
The Trump administration’s decision to allow 50,000 Haitian earthquake
victims to remain in the United States prompted gratitude from the U.S.
bishops’ conference, which stressed the need for continued work to aid
Haitians here and in their home country.
“While this extension is helpful, it still leaves many Haitian families
in the United States in an insecure and vulnerable position,
particularly with respect to ensuring legal work authorization,” Bishop
Joe S. Vasquez of Austin, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ migration
committee, said May 23.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released its
first-ever report tracking national statistics on transgender surgery,
increasingly referred to as “gender confirmation surgeries,” that showed close to a 20 percent increase in 2016 over the previous year.
The ASPS, which represents 94 percent of all U.S. board-certified
plastic surgeons, revealed that members of the organization performed
3,256 “transmasculine” and “transfeminine” surgeries last year.
“Gender confirmation surgery” covers a wide spectrum of surgery types.
Contrary to public perception, the number of genital operations
transforming the male genitalia and reconstructing it into that of a
female, or transforming the female genitalia and reconstructing it into
that of a male, is miniscule. Only 15 of the more than 3,200 procedures
in 2016, or about 0.5 percent, were genital operations, all of which
were performed on men seeking to transition. No genital operations were
performed on women seeking to transition.
A senior adviser to the Archbishop of Canterbury called on UK Christians to take part in this Sunday's Day of Prayer to End Famine as record numbers of people around the world face death by starvation.
Bishop Anthony Poggo, former Bishop of Kajo-Keji in South Sudan and
now the Archbishop of Canterbury's Advisor for Anglican Communion
Affairs, said more than 20 million people across the globe face
starvation.
World
Vision UK is among the charities backing the global prayer day, in the
hope of mobilising millions of Christians to help prevent mass
starvation of children and their communities in Somalia, South Sudan,
Yemen and Nigeria.
Thousands of Muslims are being urged to register to vote in messages from imams across the UK at Friday prayers.
Backed by the anti-racism and civil rights campaign, HOPE not hate,
the British Muslim Forum (BMF) has asked hundreds of mosques to
encourage voter registration in their message at the weekly service.
Conservatives who hoped that once Donald Trump became
president the U.S. government would stop flying the “rainbow flag” at
American embassies abroad, as happened often under former President Obama to mark various LGBTQ events, were disappointed Wednesday.
It's true that, during the presidential campaign, candidate
Donald Trump promised that he would move our embassy in Israel to
Jerusalem.
It's true that 60 top Christian leaders, among many others, have called on the president to keep his word.
It's true that the Republican Party platform stated,
"We recognize Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the
Jewish state, and call for the American embassy to be moved there in
fulfillment of U.S. law."
Within the next 10-20 years, a new and controversial fertility
technology called in vitro gametogenesis could make it possible to
manipulate skin cells into creating a human baby.
However, this groundbreaking research has caused push-back from some
critics, like Fr. Tadeusz Pacholczyk, director of education at the
National Catholic Bioethics Center, who says IVG would turn procreation
into a transaction.
Famed Catholic historian Roberto de Mattei says the family is facing a
“profound crisis” as the result of a sexual revolution that unleashed
its greatest violence in the 1960s, but had its “first decisive moment”
in the Protestant Reformation.
“This crisis is founded on the idea that only in the sexualization of
society, the revolutionary process can find its fulfillment,” de
Mattei, former professor at the European University of Rome and founder
of the Lepanto Institute, told participants at the fourth annual Rome
Life Forum on Monday.
“The act of procreation is the object of anti-Christian hate, because
this affirms that man has an end which surpasses him,” he said.
A woman in the last phase of “gender assignment” died Tuesday of
complications from surgery, one of the last procedures in her effort to
“transition” to the male sex.
Rebeccah Feldhaus, 25, who went by “Rowan,” had a hysterectomy and
was readmitted to the hospital later after going into septic shock and
losing oxygen to her brain.
Facts notwithstanding, the Democrats' attempted "assassination with
words" of President Donald Trump took a new turn on Tuesday with the
publication of a report claiming the president had attempted to coerce
former FBI Director James Comey into dropping his investigation into
former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn.
The White House has
denied those allegations, which were based entirely on anonymous
sources, including memos allegedly written by Comey. House Committee on
Oversight & Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and
the leadership of the Senate Intelligence Committee have demanded that
those memos be turned over, if they exist.
In the meantime,
however, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) pressed the attack on the president by
calling for his impeachment in a floor speech Wednesday.
"Mr.
Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart," he said. "I rise today with a
sense of responsibility and duty to the people who have elected me, a
sense of duty to this country, a sense of duty to the Constitution of
the United States of America.
"I rise today, Mr. Speaker, to call
for the impeachment of the President of the United States of America for
obstruction of justice."
You can watch the entire speech in the video clip below.
Pope Francis says he won’t “proselytize”
during his meeting with Trump next week, but one Vatican bishop insists
the pope will indeed convert him on one thing: climate change.
Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, the influential and controversial chancellor of the Vatican’s Pontifical Academies of Science and Social Sciences, made the claim in an interview published Monday by ANSA.
"They will come to an agreement, since the president claims to be a Christian, and so he will listen to him,” Sorondo said.
Pope Francis is set to receive Trump the morning of May 24 at the Apostolic Palace.
The two leaders have taken radically divergent positions on climate change.
The pope has made the issue a hallmark of his pontificate, most prominently in his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’. The pope has strongly endorsed the claim that humans are in large part responsible for climate change.
Trump, on the other hand, is skeptical of manmade climate change.
During the presidential campaign, he promised to withdraw the U.S. from
the Paris Climate Accord. He signed an executive order in late March
undoing much of the environmental legislation put in place by former
President Barack Obama. He ordered the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to remove the climate change page from its website. And he
appointed an EPA critic, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, to head
the agency.
Saturday marked another breakthrough in North Korea's broad array of missile programs.
Pyongyang
successfully launched a new system that could target U.S. military
bases in Guam. North Korea is now one step closer to developing an
intercontinental ballistic missile that could eventually threaten the
continental United States.
Beth Eckert begins each video teaching explaining how the Lord
brought her out of witchcraft, New Age, satanic ritual abuse and more.
But now, she's opening up about the details of her testimony.
Eckert's
story began before she was even born, with her grandparents embracing
the occult secret society behind the Mormon church facade, she says.
Their leader was into "horrific child sacrifice and even child trafficking," Eckert says.
When
her grandfather died, Eckert's grandmother became the matriarch of the
bloodline and indoctrinated each of her seven children in the ways of
the occult.
Eckert says her grandmother believed that what she was doing was good and pure, but in reality, it was all the devil's lies.
Even
as an infant, Eckert says she was inducted into the Illuminati/occult.
She says she was crowned as the queen of darkness as a baby.
That's when the sexual abuse began. Her own family members claimed it was what God wanted.
"But
God did not forsake me even through this. In my crib as I lie sleeping
or even waking, Papa would send His angels to sing over me," Eckert
says.
By 2 years old, Eckert says she knew she could speak to God.
"Because of my family's belief system, I was told I was a liar and crazy and beaten for it. But that was just the beginning."
Since Adam's fall in Eden, we humans find it easy to fall for lies.
Especially in the absence of a moral filter which helps us differentiate
between and navigate around what is right and wrong.
Apparently, moral filters were in short supply in Germany in the 1930s when
Nazism was on the rise. Adolf Hitler and his minister of propaganda, Joseph
Goebbels, launched an insidious campaign against the Jews. They spread their
evil telling despicable lies blaming Jews for every malady on the planet.
Hitler's "big lie" campaign included the idea that if a big lie is
repeated frequently enough, it will be believed.
The first ordained female Christian minister in the Middle East has
been denied a short-term visa to the UK, with the British government
fearing she may not leave the country at the end of her trip.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins wants to know how the year 2017 will be remembered.
"How
will we remember the year 2017? What will we say?" he asked in a recent
email to supporters obtained by Charisma Caucus. "'We had our
chance—and we seized the day. We did it.' Or, 'We missed our chance. We
failed.'?"
Perkins wrote that with the combination of the Trump
administration and the Republican-controlled Congress, plus an
overwhelming majority of "friendly" GOP-controlled state legislatures,
2017 is the year "we can truly turn America around." But, after the
first four months of the year, it's become obvious that turning things
around won't be a simple process.
A Muslim cleric has asked if FIFA could ban players from making the sign of the cross in celebaration during football matches.
Mohammed Alarefe, a professor and cleric from Saudi Arabia, was
widely criticised when he asked if the sporting association disallowed
making the symbol of the cross on one's chest in a match, according to
the Daily Mail.
Alarefe
tweeted on May 5: 'I've seen video clips of athletes, soccer players
running, shooting and when they win they make the symbol of the cross on
their chests and my question is if FIFA's rules forbid this.'
The tweet drew a range of responses online, with many reportedly criticising the suggestion, saying it was divisive.
Others pointed out that many players appear to bow in Muslim prayer
when they kneel to the ground in celebration of scoring a goal.
One user, Sultan Alhusni, tweeted about an Egyptian player, Mohamed
Salah, who plays for Italian club Roma. He wrote: 'I can't lie. Mohamed
Salah and others kneel to pray when they score a goal and no one
punishes them. Leave the sport to those who deal with it.'
Another said: 'Even Muslim players celebrate their own way, FIFA brings us together'.
Alarefe is a professor of religion at King Saud University in Riyadh,
and has 17.4 million Twitter followers. He does not appear to have
commented on the matter beyond his initial tweet.
The London-based Arabic daily newspaper Al-Hayat reported Wednesday
that President Donald Trump will announce the resumption of direct peace
negotiations between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during the American
leader's visit to Israel this month.
A U.S.-Palestinian committee
was already preparing for a second meeting between Abbas and Trump, who
met for the first time May 3 at the White House, Palestinian officials
told Al-Hayat.
The Palestinian officials said they anticipate
Trump will announce direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, which will
take place during the next year.
In his meeting with Trump at the
White House, Abbas reportedly requested that the renewed peace talks be
based upon the parameters of his negotiations with former Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert nearly a decade ago. Abbas reportedly presented
Trump with maps and documents detailing the 2008 plan involving Olmert.
In
the 2008 proposal, Olmert offered a near-complete Israeli withdrawal
from Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem and also suggested placing
the Old City of Jerusalem under international control.
Pope Francis has sent a special video message to the people of
Portugal as he prepares to travel to Fatima to canonise on Saturday two
of the three children who saw six visions of a woman dressed in white,
believed to have been the Virgin Mary.
After hundreds more migrants perished last weekend in the deadly
Mediterranean passage to Europe, one Catholic expert insisted that the
root causes of migration need to be addressed.
“The real tragedy is that these deaths are preventable,” said Bill
O’Keefe, vice president of government relations and advocacy for
Catholic Relief Services.
A blueprint for schism seen by the christian media reveals extensive plans by conservative evangelicals to form a rival Anglican structure to the Church of England in the UK.
The proposals, born out of concerns about liberal teachings on
homosexuality, include suggestions for a new synod, new liturgy, an
appointments system for new bishops, new church canons and new
statements of belief.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton appeared Tuesday morning on the
Sirius/XM "Breitbart News Daily" program to discuss former acting
Attorney General Sally Yates' testimony before a subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary Committee regarding her involvement in the eventual
firing of former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn.
Here's what
he had to say about her testimony and its impact on the as-yet
unfounded liberal narrative that Russia directly colluded with President
Donald Trump's campaign to ensure he won the 2016 election:
More than 9 in 10 new HIV cases among young men and boys
ages 13 to 24 in the U.S. occur among homosexuals and bisexuals,
according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The
April 25 CDC report, “HIV Among Gay and Bisexual Men,” offers stark
evidence of the extreme health risks associated with male homosexual
sex, in particular receptive anal sex. Below are some of its findings:
—
Gay and bisexual men aged 13 to 24 accounted for an estimated 92
percent of new HIV diagnoses among all men in their age group and 27
percent of new diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men;
— Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men made up an estimated 2 percent of the population, but 55 percent of people living with HIV in the United States in 2013;
—
From 2005 to 2014, HIV diagnoses decreased in the United States by 19
percent overall but increased 6 percent among all gay and bisexual men;
—
1 in 6 gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed with HIV in their
lifetime, including 1 in 2 black gay and bisexual men, 1 in 4
Hispanic gay and bisexual men, and 1 in 11 white gay and bisexual men;
— Nearly 1 in 7 gay and bisexual men living with HIV are unaware they have it;
—
Anal sex is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV.
Receptive anal sex is 13 times as risky for acquiring HIV as insertive
anal sex.
Job satisfaction plays a big role in a person's overall well-being.
It is God's intent to put His workers in jobs that are not just
productive but also rewarding. With God's work comes the fruit of His
Spirit. One of the facets of His fruit is joy. Are you enjoying your job
today? If not, are you considering quitting your job?
For one critic, a report that IVF-conceived embryos are being cremated
and turned into jewelry for their mothers shows the basic problem with
the artificial creation of human embryos.
“I have no words. I have no category for who would think this would be
something good to do,” said Jennifer Lahl, the founder and president of
the California-based Center for Bioethics and Culture.
“It’s so undignified that these embryos have been destroyed to become
jewelry,” she told CNA. “I thought, ‘My gosh, it really has hit
rock-bottom’.”
The Satanic Temple is set to erect an occult monument at a veterans' memorial in Minnesota.
The
black steel cube sided with pentagrams will stand opposite a statue of a
soldier praying over a cross-marked grave. The installation will likely
occur in June.
The memorial space in Belle Plaine is a public
space utilized as a limited time open forum. Any sculpture or art that
honors veterans is permitted, provided the group or artist applies
through the city.
"The Belle Plaine city council was professional
and respectful at all times. They adopted a clear set of guidelines
which they adhered to. There was no push-back," Satanic temple founder
Lucien Greaves explained.
Despite the city's approval, the community pushed back against the installation.
"These soldiers fought for our country, and you are going to put a satanic thing next to it," community member Jessica Ellman says. "It's like you are mocking them. I'm not a fan"
Lucy Hellein’s baby was never meant to be. Period. The Alabama woman
had been fitted with the abortion-causing intrauterine device (IUD)
Mirena, which the manufacturer boasts of being 99 percent effective in
preventing pregnancy.
But life has a way of overcoming even the biggest odds.
