Washington State Law

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 8/13/2024 11:07:42 AM

A Christian group in Washington state has shown it’s being injured by a state bias law, a federal appeals court ruled on Aug. 12, reversing a lower court decision and reviving the group’s case against state officials. The Union Gospel Mission of Yakima, Washington, sued over the Washington Law Against Discrimination, which bars employers from discriminating based on sexual orientation. The group said the law is unconstitutional and that it is being affected by the law because it distributes a form for employees to sign that agrees to adherence to a Christian lifestyle and beliefs, including only engaging in sexual conduct in a marriage between a man and a woman.

What they have done is legalization of hedonism. The only thing one cannot discriminate against is how a person was born. It's perfectly OK to discriminate on the choices a person makes or has made, such as past felonies. If a person with face tattoos and piercings applies for a job in a customer-facing capacity it's perfectly understandable for a company to say, "No thank you," to the applicant. Flaming homos or the "let's play dress-up" nuts are being more concerned about themselves than that of the business' success, so hire them at your own risk. Why should I trust a waiter/waitress to get my food order right if they can't even get their own gender correct what with their Maker giving them a couple of very distinct clues at birth?

Very confusing...why would any group...Christian or non-Christian have people sign a letter professing their ideology ...it's unAmerican...every person has the right to think good thoughts for themselves...with no restrictions on speech...so I'm at a loss as to what this is accomplishing...my Catholic beliefs are my business...not an employer or government....

He has been attacking Christians and Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers for years, this case will only slow him down. Bob Ferguson is also currently running for Governor. Dave Reichert is running against him and is a strong candidate. In Western Washington (Seattle, Tacoma, Everett) he is well known which the Republicans need to win the state. Reichert has been a Congressman from that area and if you ware interested in his police management skills and attitude towards crime victims just google "Green River Killer". I am super excited to have him take down this communist, Ferguson.

I am going to outline something that might make a few people uncomfortable. You may have recently read about RFK Jr being disqualified from the ballot in New York state.

There is a pattern here inside the RFK Jr campaign structure (snip) Blue states will block ballot access for RFK Jr., Red states will work earnestly to keep ballot access for RFK Jr. Within the party club system, (snip), this dynamic is being (and will be) sold as dishonorable, cheating Democrat states, and honorable, honest Republican states.

Last week we found out that Kellyanne Conway, a rather disingenuous woman with deep professional republican bona fides, had registered under FARA laws so that she could lobby the US Government on behalf of Ukraine. Essentially, Kellyanne Conway is a Ukraine lobbyist. The MSM tried to push a story that people around President Trump were positioning Conway for a more substantive role in the Trump campaign. However, President Trump put a stop to that false narrative by telling everyone there was ZERO truth to such a claim.

Nearly a week ago, we ran a bombshell piece based on the DHS’ Office of Inspector General (OIG) Report that turned out to confirm numerous aspects of our ground-breaking coverage on the January 6 pipe bomb hoax, including new information indicating that Kamala Harris’ own Secret Service detail at the very least participated in a cover-up of this hoax. Likely on account of its utterly damning and inconvenient contents, the OIG report had been assiduously suppressed at the orders of the highly corrupt and political DHS head, Alexander Mayorkas, of open borders fame. In fact, at the time that we published our own expose based on this report,

Musk announced on Sunday that he and Trump are set to host a “live conversation” on X, marking Trump’s return to the platform. But a letter from Thierry Breton of the European Commission issued a threat on Monday to Musk over the “amplification of harmful content.” The letter claims Musk, who owns a U.S.-based company, is obligated to adhere to EU law meant to govern European politics

Pulley of Huntington Valley, was charged with falsely registering to vote, double voting, and election fraud. United States Attorney Jacqueline Romero announced the charges on Friday.

MSNBC is the self-appointed police force for racist comments in American society.

Yet, last week, one of MSNBC's own went on another overtly racist rant against white people. Primetime host Joy Reid thanked Kamala Harris for not picking Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as her running mate because, unlike Tim Walz, Kelly is "super white." Err, not just "super white. According to Reid, Sen. Kelly is "like a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white."

With Kamala Harris becoming a rock star by inviting rock stars to open her act, it’s clear she’s focused on generating excitement through pure fluff. But whereas Harris captures headlines with showmanship, Donald Trump has an opportunity to resonate deeply with a far more substantial and often overlooked voting bloc: those who have paid into the Social Security system. If Trump zeroes in on this group, he can unlock a political goldmine that could propel him back into the White House. In what even the New York Times admits could be a game-changer, Trump has proposed ending income taxes on Social Security benefits.

The strategy harnesses the ambiguous nature of the media’s oftentimes pro-Harris coverage with actual Harris campaign advertising.
