California Pastor Does Striptease to Make a Point

~ Ann Corcoran

No, he didn’t take off everything just his tie in a bid to make the point. If strip clubs can be open in California, then so can churches.

Thanks to reader Marilou for sharing this uplifting story. Oh, and by the way, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

This will give you a laugh.  And, yes, I know that the Supreme Court weighed in subsequent to Pastor McCoy’s performance to slap down New York governor Cuomo’s edict restricting church attendance.

I think there is some kind of revolution going on in Cali!

From RedState:

California Pastor Temporarily Turns His Chapel Into a Strip Club to Be Deemed ‘Essential’

Since the time various shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, et cetera, were enacted to “slow the spread” of the Wuhan flu, the list of businesses and activities considered “essential” has been illogical at best. In California, marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores have remained open, while gyms and churches have been shut down.

Multiple churches in California have sued over the shutdown order and their “nonessential” designation, arguing that shutting down churches violates the First Amendment. Others have continued to hold indoor services despite the shutdown order, including Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Ventura County, led by Pastor Rob McCoy – who stepped down from his post as a member of the Thousand Oaks City Council before defying the health officer’s order back in April.

Strip club owners in the state have also challenged the shutdown order in court, saying that their businesses are “legally protected speech guaranteed by the First Amendment.” On November 12, a San Diego Superior Court judge ordered that county to temporarily reopen strip clubs, pending a full hearing at the end of the month, after an initial hearing in a case brought by two strip club owners.

Since being able to provide live adult entertainment is a protected right in at least one county, for at least a few weeks, might churches be able to use this ruling to their advantage?

Pastor McCoy, inspired by former Gov. Mike Huckabee, decided to take a chance.

There is more here.

And, see what the pastor did below.

Remember what Saul Alinsky taught his Leftwing revolutionaries: “Humor is essential to a successful tactician, for the most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule.”

And, Lefties have NO sense of humor!  So, laugh at them every chance you get!

 

While we are on the subject of humor, God and Leftists. Twitter was blowing up over the last day or so when Joe Biden, speaking from a teleprompter, couldn’t pronounce the word “Psalmist.”

Remember the Dems put this mentally challenged man in this spot, so we are free to laugh!

Find and Prosecute the Vote Cheaters, Every Single One of Them!

I wasn’t planning to post today until this story landed in my inbox from the Epoch Times and got my blood boiling.

If it takes months or years to find the individuals who did this (and of course the Dem leaders who organized it) and send them to jail or give them heavy fines, it should be done to SEND A MESSAGE!

Thousands in Georgia Registered at Postal, Commercial Addresses, Portraying Them as Residences, Researcher Says

Thousands of people registered and voted in Georgia using addresses of postal facilities or businesses, but making it look like they were residential addresses, according to a former Trump campaign official whose team analyzed the states’ voter data.

The addresses listed on the voter rolls included information that didn’t make sense for the actual locations, but on paper made the addresses look like residential ones, according to information published by Matt Braynard, former data and strategy director for President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign.

“Georgia: We have identified over a thousand early/abs votes cast by individuals whose registered addresses are in fact at post offices, UPS, and FedEx locations, willfully disguising the box numbers as ‘Apt,’ ‘Unit,’ etc.,” he said in a Nov. 22 tweet.

He published a sample of 15 such address entries in a Nov. 24 tweet.

“With just a partial review of the state,” he said, the team also discovered “a thousand votes cast by those registered in non-residential, purely commercial addresses also disguised with ‘Apt,’ etc.”

Keep reading  because it gets worse.  BTW, the feds should be able to figure out who paid for all the boxes!

If you are looking for something to do, even if you live in a state where the election is not contested, set up a group of citizens willing to look for  voter fraud and monitor the integrity of the vote in your county or precinct.

Gateway Pundit: OH MY GOSH! FOX NEWS CRASHED!!

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 6 Comments

It was obvious to most of Trump’s loyal army of followers in the final leadup to November 3rd that there was a slight change of tone at Fox News, the go-to cable news channel for most of conservative America, but the message was in full view on election night—Fox had joined the anti-Trump media, the fake news!

We have been hearing that viewers are abandoning Fox in droves and switching to Newsmax and/or One America News, or simply getting news from a variety of sites on line.

Here Gateway Pundit provides the data that seals it.  Viewers are leaving in droves demonstrating the potential political muscle Trump’s Army of 70 million plus supporters must flex going forward.

 

By the way, when you read the story and see how well CNN and MSNBC are doing in comparison, keep in mind that’s not because more of America is turning Left it is just compared to the tanking of Fox.

We are completely weaned from Fox News in my house.  Tucker was the last to go.  BTW, I am really liking Greg Kelly‘s show at Newsmax (I can’t get OAN where I live).  Check it out.  You will recognize him from Fox along with other hosts at Newsmax.

Codevilla on the Ruling Class: They are after YOU!

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 7 Comments

“It had been decided. You peons shut up and obey.”

(Angelo Codevilla writing at American Greatness)

“They” are bipartisan political elites who run the country, says Codevilla in his classic opening salvo in 2010.

They think that by destroying Trump, they will destroy you, the country class, the peons, says professor, author and thinker Angelo Codevilla.

In an age where we don’t want to read more than a few sentences at Twitter (or anywhere), it is important to take a few minutes to read and digest the work of someone who has had your back for more than a decade.

I’ve snipped just a bit of the latest from Codevilla here at American Greatness. (hat tip: Richard)

He says we, the great United States has become an oligarchy, no longer a Constitutional Republic but a country governed by a small group of the ‘elite.’

(Emphasis below is mine)

From Ruling Class to Oligarchy

Roughly half the country is living under an alien regime that means to harm us socially, politically, and economically.

 

Angelo M. Codevilla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Codevilla

“By its campaign and conduct of the 2020 election, the ruling class ceased pretending to be part of a constitutional republic. By treating fellow Americans as inferiors through word and deed, its members renounced their common citizenship with us. Eschewing persuasion, they set about compelling obedience to an openly manipulated election.

Thus did they burn their bridges to the rest of America as surely as did Hernán Cortéz when he burned the ships that had carried his troops to conquer the Aztec empire. Henceforth, they must rule or ruin as the oligarchy they have become.”

Codevilla continues….

This is how it happened. It had been clear to that class that Trump was dangerous only because he represented his “deplorable” supporters. The ruling class sought to resist them by dispiriting them and discrediting them in their own and others’ eyes. Demonizing Trump was the means by which they sought to do this.

Arguably the American country class’ principal mistake between 2016 and 2020 was to suppose that the Left was actually after Trump, rather than set about crushing them and killing the American regime.

[….]

And then Election Night. As predicted, election officials in places controlled by the Left stopped counting until it was clear how many ballots it would take for Trump to be defeated. The requisite number came, filled out by no one knows who. And then . . . who wouldn’t have predicted it? The call came from all of society’s commanding heights: Trump’s defeat had been declared.By whom? By the folks on these varied heights—certainly not by the authorities designated by the Constitution to decide who wins and loses.

[….]

But the more instances of fraud the Trump campaign sought to investigate, the louder and from more sources sounded the judgment that there was nothing to investigate. It had been decided. You peons shut up and obey.

That is how oligarchies work.

What may be done about this is another story. But the story’s premise is that it must begin with the realization that the conservative more-or-less half of American life is living under an alien regime that means to continue harming us socially and morally just as much as economically. Plainly, we find ourselves in a (mostly not yet violent) state of war. The beginning of such safety as we may work out for ourselves is to regard our rulers as they regard us.

Continue reading here.

Yes, it is that serious. The ruling class wants people like you and me destroyed. People like those who marched in Washington a week ago.

 

And, I read Codevilla’s closing paragraph above to mean we have to understand the stakes and fight like our lives and the country we love depends on it.

I know its hard for decent people to consider that we must “regard our rulers as they regard us” which is a nice way of saying they HATE US and therefore….!

Long live America First!

Update!  No sooner had I published this post, when this tweet came to my attention.  Liz Cheney is a ruling class superstar!
