    Apparently Bars, Restaurants, Salons and Churches are banned from being open in Minnesota. Here's a Pastor's message to his congregation regarding reopening.
    (Seems unfair and unconstitutional to ban church gatherings while allowing people to congregate in nearly every other building.)

    Yep. The DOJ just reached out to Gavin Newsom with the same message.

    [​IMG]
    DOJ to Gavin Newsom: Start Reopening Churches in California

    The Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) warned California Gov. Gavin Newsom Tuesday that his reopening plan discriminates against religion and must be modified to allow for religious services to reopen.

    Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband pointed out that Newsom’s plan allows a variety of businesses to reopen in “Stage 2,” but does not allow churches and other houses of worship to reopen until “Stage 3,” for no apparent reason.​

    Good on this pastor. More need to stop being timid, thinking they're violating some biblical principle by calling out governing officials. Paul called out governing officials, appealing to Roman law and Caesar. Likewise, American pastors need to appeal to the Constitution and the People (the Caesar of America).

    I heard or read that a while back Pelosi was urging all D governors to stand fast in their draconian "safety mandates" & when they win in Nov they will be rewarded handsomely! Maybe that is their goal in their sadistic edicts!!:rolleyes:

    Personally I don't feel that there will be more than a skeleton of the D party after the Nov elections -- if that much!:Laugh:Laugh:Laugh:Laugh:Laugh

    Calif courts say no church


    Gov says okay but - "but worshippers will be limited to 100 people"

    I usually abhor the term "stupid" but this policy is stupid!

    If your church holds 5,000 people - even 20% would be 1,000 worshipers
    (and most other non-church locations have been limited to 50%

    Now, our church is not in Calif - BUT we could only hold 50 people -
    so if we packed in 99 people - we would be legal in Calif!

    Can I go bang my head now?

    Hoping this decision might be appealed. It was a well-known leftist court, and even then, the decision was 2-1.

    How is it determined if a State/Commonwealth is a Red or Blue?

    The Governor. Here Michigan is listed as Dem even though we have a Republican Legislature, because of Whitmer.

    I missed this story from early April, though someone here may have posted it.

    A few things stand out:

    1) though a Dem she credits Trump for touting hydroxychloroquine and saving her life;

    2) she credits Detroit’s mayor (not Michigan’s governor) for working with Trump to fight the virus; and

    3) she cites her community for stupidly having block parties instead of quarantining.

    Detroit rep says hydroxychloroquine, Trump helped save her life amid COVID-19 fight

    Makes sense. Decisions are made by the executive branch.

    Tucker called her on it. He said she initially denied it as ‘fake news’, in other words she lied. Then she came up with the it was a joke spin. What bothers me the most about her is trying to deny residents from obtaining HCQ, & when she finally allowed it, it was only after hospitalization, in other words too late to be effective. Then-the worst of the worst.....sending covid into nursing homes who were not prepared at all, well, that’s just murder in my book.

    Emails Show Democrat Gretchen Whitmer’s Office Gave ‘Green Light’ To Give Taxpayer Money To Democrat Groups For Contact Tracing, Report Says – True Pundit
    Like Pelosi just said AGAIN, the virus is an opportunity. Should it be an opportunity while people have been thrown out of their own daily life? Get them while they’re down? That opportunity? The opportunity to send taxpayer money to every dem dream that would normally never pass? That opportunity? I guess we have to elect them to find out.

    New Nursing Home Data Shows How the COVID-19 Response Has Been Epically Mismanaged

    I saw yesterday that my state, Michigan/Whitmer(D), is not releasing our numbers of nursing home deaths, how convenient, seeing as how she is still putting covid positive people, even 20 yr old mental patients who beat people, into nursing homes. Why is this not front page news? Because the news reports what the left wants you to see.
