How our opposition defines conservatives

For the politically conservative, it seems that we are under the gun of Joe Biden

Supreme Court exposes Biden’s selective prosecution of political opponents

The Washington Examiner digs into one aspect of the selective prosecution that Joe Biden has exacted on his political opponents.

During oral arguments on Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito exposed the Biden administration’s inexcusable practice of selective prosecution of protesters and rioters.

The case, Fischer v. United States, involved the contention by Pennsylvanian Joseph Fischer that the charges of “obstruct[ion of] … any official proceeding,” based on 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c), should not apply to his actions during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Fischer, who also was charged with assaulting police officers, is hardly a sympathetic figure. His claims that he wasn’t trying to obstruct or “impede” official (and important) congressional business, in the ordinary (nonlegal) sense of those words, are specious, but Gorsuch and Alito were interested in a point broader than Fischer’s particular circumstances.

More than 300, of nearly 1,400 total, other Jan. 6 defendants also have been charged with violating 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c). The two justices were puzzled by inconsistencies with which President Joe Biden’s appointees apply the law and with the wide scope they claim for it against disfavored defendants. Contrarily, when people on the Left, even including members of Congress, disrupt government proceedings, including by use of force, Biden and his officials look the other way.

“Would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify [as illegal obstruction]?” Gorsuch asked Biden’s solicitor general, Elizabeth Prelogar. “Would a heckler at today’s audience qualify or a heckler at the State of the Union address? Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?”

Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) used the fire alarm stunt before a key spending vote last Sept. 30 and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge carrying negligible penalties, but he bragged about not being charged for obstructing House proceedings even though that’s what he had obviously done when the alarm forced an evacuation. That mandatory mass exit interrupted attempts to ward off a government shutdown.

When Prelogar’s attempt to draw distinctions sounded weak and confusing, Gorsuch pressed further. Using the catchphrase favored by liberal news media and others about urban riots, even ones where police were injured, cars were burned, and federal courthouses were significantly damaged, resulting in trial relocations or delays, Gorsuch somewhat mockingly asked why “a mostly peaceful protest … that actually obstructs and impedes an official proceeding for an indefinite period would not be covered.”

Prelogar stumbled throughout the questioning, including when Alito picked up on similar themes. At one point, she said that for a criminal charge under the statute at issue, “we would have to have the evidence of intent.” Yet it is clear that at least a significant subset of the Jan. 6 rioters, while knowing they should not be in the Capitol, and thus being criminally liable for trespassing or disorderly conduct, were clueless about the congressional proceedings rather than intentionally trying to interfere with them. Yet this administration is throwing the book at scores of them.

The point isn’t that the Capitol rioters should avoid all penalties but that the Biden administration is choosing for ideological reasons when and how to apply laws against illicit protests.

This will come as no surprise to the Nashville pro-life protesters or President Trump

When we see Joe Biden’s Department of “Justice” recommending no jail time for someone who vandalized a church and attacked church personnel while they recommend 11 year in prison for Nashville pro-life protesters praying outside of an abortion clinic, we have an out-of-control, dictatorial ruler over our “justice.”

Likewise, when the the White House legal counsel and Vice president met with Nathan Wade and Fani Willis; Alvin Bragg; and Jack Smith — what are we supposed to deduce but a centrally-controlled persecution of the chief political rival of Joe Biden?

For Christians, is seems that many have come under the gun of elitist corporations

As reported by Fox Business, Indiana AG blasts Bank of America’s alleged discriminatory behavior: “You can’t just pick and choose”

Fox Business reports on how the Attorney General of Indiana has informed Bank of America that it cannot discriminate against Christians.

U.S. attorneys general are calling out Bank of America’s alleged “discriminatory behavior” in a penned letter that condemns the de-banking efforts targeting customers for their religious and political beliefs.

Indiana’s Todd Rokita, one of 15 U.S. attorneys general who signed the letter obtained by Fox News Digital, criticized the discriminatory “pattern” taking corporate America by storm.

“It’s this idea that their own political views, they’re going to foist on the rest of us, or they’re simply cowards and can’t stand up to the socialist pressure that’s being put on them,” Rokita expressed during his appearance on “FOX & Friends First” on Wednesday.

“You can’t just pick and choose. It’s kind of also some of the basis of our discrimination laws,” he continued.

Timothy of Two Project International founder Steve Curtis detailed the experience that his organization had with Bank of America.

The organization, which requires international travel, focuses on training pastors who may not have access to formal education.

Curtis told “FOX & Friends First” co-host Todd Piro that the organization received a letter in 2020 from the bank that said their account would be restricted in 21 days, and completely closed in 30 days.

America has pulled the religion that holds in its surahs commands to kill Christians and Jews

When George W. Bush and later presidents made alliences that ended by our bringing multiple thousands of Islamists into our borders, we should have expected that politicians would start dancing to an Islamic tune. Likewise, there will be the corporate elites that go along with the political elites. Therefore, to have Joe Biden and his corporate cadre lining up against Christians should not come as a surprise.

NTD News likewise reports how 15 State Officials Warn Bank of America About “De-banking” of Christians

NTD News reports on the mixture of 15 auditors and treasurers from 12 states who informed Bank of America that it cannot discriminate against Christians.

A group of 15 financial officials from 13 states sent a notice to Bank of America, raising concerns about the institution’s “de-banking” of Christians.

“We write to express our concerns over Bank of America’s troubling track record of politicized de-banking. Bank of America’s de-banking policies and practices threaten the company’s financial health, its reputation with customers, our nation’s economy, and the civil liberties of everyday Americans,” the officials wrote in an April 18 letter to Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan.

“We are especially troubled by Bank of America’s track record of discriminating against religious ministries. Notable examples include Memphis-based charity Indigenous Advance Ministries, the Timothy Two Project, and Christian author and speaker Lance Wallnau.”

In April 2023, Bank of America shut down the account of Indigenous Advance Ministries, which partners with groups in the African nation of Uganda to provide care and education for orphaned and at-risk children. The bank closed accounts of a Memphis church which donated to the organization.

Bank of America provided “vague reasons” for the closure of these accounts, claiming the organization’s activities exceeded the institution’s “risk tolerance” and that it no longer wanted to serve its “business type.”

“Months later—after being confronted by an international media organization—the bank then claimed that it closed the accounts because the for-profit business engaged in ‘debt collection.’ Neither Indigenous Advance Ministries nor the church collect debts, nor was the bank able to point to any policy prohibiting account holders from engaging in such activities,” the letter said.

“In other words that rationale was a ruse, and even if legitimate, would only apply to one of the closed accounts.”

In 2020, the bank closed the account of Timothy Two Project International, which trains pastors in more than 65 nations. In a letter to the group, the bank claimed the closure was due to Timothy Two operating “a business type we have chosen not to service.”

The financial institution also froze the accounts of author Mr. Wallnau, alleging he was suspected of money laundering. However, the bank failed to provide any evidence supporting such accusations.

America has existed on a Christian moral of equal standing and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” for over 200 years. Will it withstand Islam?

Islam is built on a foundation of tyrants. Its founding prophet, Mohammed, beheaded people (unlike Christ, who gave his life on a cross as a ransom for the sin of all who will accept Him as Messiah).

With this contrast of foundations, can America stand to have its base changed from one based on equality of all to one where there is a ruling caste of Muslims over a caste of non-Muslims who pay tribute for the privilege of existing?

Considering the contrast between tolerance as expressed in America between 1950 and the present and the tolerance of Christians, gays or other sexually deviant groups, and other minorities during recent years, the liberals in America should think long about this before committing to a course.
