Ohio Bill Would Require School Districts
to Create Released Time for Religious Instruction
Posted By: OhioNick, 5/18/2024 3:01:54 PM
Two Republican lawmakers are trying to strengthen an existing Ohio law by requiring — instead of just allowing — school districts to create a policy letting students to be excused from school to go to released time religious instruction. State Reps. Al Cutrona, R-Canfield, and Gary Click, R-Vickery. [SNIP] “The correlation between religious instruction, schools, and good government are embedded in our constitution,” Click said in his written testimony. “You will notice that HB 445 does not establish which religion but merely acknowledges the opportunity for religious instruction. This opportunity is open to all faiths.”

Salman Rushdie was a longtime opponent of Israel. Despite being targeted by Iran for The Satanic Verses, a book that the Islamic revolutionary regime deemed blasphemous and being sold out by fellow leftists for “provoking” Muslims, the Pakistani ex-Muslim opposed the Jewish State and supported the terrorist cause.
Now in an interview with Bild, a German publication, Rushdie, who suffered a Muslim terrorist attack in America (funny how quickly the media moved on from that) that left him without one eye, had some thoughts on the Hamas campus riots.

Former President Donald Trump said there is “probably a good chance” he will announce his vice presidential pick at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July. Generally, presumptive nominees announce their running mate in the weeks or months leading up to the convention.
“I don’t say anything is 100%, but you’re getting pretty close,” Trump said when asked by Scripps News political correspondent Charles Benson if he will wait until the high-profile event, which takes place July 15-18.
Waiting until the convention to announce a running mate is rare, but it could provide a major splash during what has become a mostly predictable four-day event.
The Communist regime in Cuba has a long history of terrorism, and not just the Marxist kind either. [SNIP] Cuba and Iran have long-term relationships with terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, and a decades-long hostility toward Israel, a U.S. ally in the Middle East. Since Oct. 7, Iran and Cuba have publicly backed Hamas and refused to condemn its terrorist attacks against Israel. Hamas is also receiving support from Beijing and Moscow.
UCLA Silences Robert Spencer

After weeks of pro-Hamas campus riots, Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, was due to speak to the UCLA chapter of Young Americans for Freedom with a talk titled “Why Everything You Know About Palestine is Wrong”.
Going in, we knew that UCLA would do everything possible to stop the talk even as Hamas supporters were holding Nakba Day ceremonies commemorating the failed Muslim effort to exterminate the Jews. [SNIP] While the doors were supposed to open at 5:30 PM, they were instead locked. UCLA wanted the event to go somewhere else, anywhere else, after threats and lies from terror supporters.
Footage has revealed how thieves in California are stealing copper-filled cables from Tesla charging stations.
Viral video shared on TikTok by Joshua Beckler shows the aftermath of a recent theft at a Tesla Supercharger station in Vallejo, California.
The nine stations are seen without any of the cables attached to them as Beckler shows the core of the heavy duty cable, which is clearly rich in copper, whose value has soared in recent years.
The incident happened sometime over the weekend before it was reported to Vallejo police on Sunday morning.

The food stamps scheme used by 42 million US residents has become too widespread and costly and hooks recipients on welfare, new research shows.
The conservative Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC) in a report urges Congress to pare back a ballooning program by requiring more beneficiaries to work when they can.
The study comes amid mounting challenges for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps low-income families buy groceries, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks.
One system. Two sets of rules.
Eco-terrorists have attacked priceless works of art and history. Hamas supporters have blocked roads, bridges, and airports. They’ve shut down campuses and assaulted students and faculty.
And all of it has gone unpunished.
But one woman is going to prison for almost 5 years for protesting abortion. [A] federal judge sentenced the leader of an anti-abortion group to more than four years in prison Tuesday for orchestrating a conspiracy to violate patients’ rights by forcibly blockading a D.C. clinic in 2020.
More than half of the foreign-born immigrant population in the United States under President Joe Biden’s administration is unemployed, according to a recent report.
The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a report on Monday that showed that just 46 percent of migrants who had arrived in the U.S. “in 2022 or later” were employed as of the beginning of 2024.
“Immigration clearly adds workers to the country, but it just as clearly adds non-workers who need to be supported by the labor of others,” Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, researchers with the CIS, wrote.
As I’ve said over and over again, the left plays chess while the right plays checkers. If even that anymore.
The Left knows the game it’s playing and has a strategy for winning it. It’s once again operating in plain sight.
It’s possible that looking back we will say that the 2024 presidential election was decided in 2023 with a Supreme Court race in Wisconsin.
Democrats have scored a major off-year election victory in Wisconsin, winning the state’s open supreme court seat and flipping control of the court to liberals for the first time in 15 years.
FrontPage Mag readers may recall that back in December I wrote about Michael Cassidy, a conservative Christian and former Navy pilot who tore down a Satanic altar competing with a Christmas display of the Nativity in the Iowa State Capitol. Originally charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief, Cassidy was subsequently hit with a hate crime charge by Polk County Democrat Attorney Kimberly Graham, a prosecutor funded by – surprise – left-wing billionaire financier George Soros. Cassidy is now looking at a possible five years in prison.
US drugs chiefs are warning of deepening ties between Mexico's cartels and China as the fentanyl pills that claim lives from coast to coast are becoming more potent and deadlier.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has found evidence of Chinese middle men laundering more of the profits cartels make from selling narcotics in the United States.
Meanwhile, the fentanyl that claims some 70,000 US lives each year has become even more dangerous, so that now some 70 percent of pills contain a fatal dose of the opioid.

First lady and fake “doctor” Jill Biden ludicrously claimed Saturday that former President Donald Trump will destroy the public education system if reelected to office.
Speaking at the United Federation of Teachers’ annual spring conference, she argued instead that her husband, President Joe Biden, is the one who’ll bless public education.
“I always believed that Joe would be the best education president,” she said, according to the New York Post.
Uh huh … [Tweet]
Trump, on the other hand, “wakes up every morning caring about one person — and one person only — himself,” she added.
“Donald Trump doesn’t want to strengthen our public education system — he wants to destroy it,”
The president didn't use Trump or the GOP's name as he addressed graduating seniors from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, but it was clear who he was talking about as he brought up January 6 amid their commencement ceremony.
'Insurrectionists who stormed the capitol with Confederate flags are called patriots by some,' Biden told the seniors, graduating from the historically black, all-male institution. 'Not in my house.'
Trump often refers to his supporters who ramsacked the Capitol by that term.
'Black police officers, black veterans, protecting the Capitol were called another word as you recall,' Biden continued.
The president added that 'extremists close the doors of opportunity.'
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi suffered a “hard landing” on Sunday, Iranian state media reported, without immediately elaborating.
Raisi was traveling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. State TV said the incident happened near Jolfa, a city on the border with with the nation of Azerbaijan, some 600 kilometers (375 miles) northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Traveling with Raisi were Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, the governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province and other officials, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. One local government official used the word “crash” to describe the incident, but he acknowledged to an Iranian newspaper that he had yet to reach

In 1975 a Frenchman, Jean Raspail, wrote a fictional account of how western civilization was destroyed by unrestricted immigration from the Third World. His work, The Camp of the Saints, has been out of print for some time, but it again became popular in 2011 and Amazon now is offering it on Kindle and you can read it free online. I urge you to do so, because it is probably the most prescient novel you will ever read.

Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi was pictured moments before the helicopter crash near the border with Azerbaijan which put his ‘life at risk’.
He was seen staring out of the window of the aircraft, which was traveling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province near Jolfa, around 375 miles northwest of Tehran when it crashed.
There have been conflicting reports among Iranian state media about whether the helicopter has been found following a frantic search mission.
The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard
The president is still missing hours after the crash and there is no confirmation they are close to finding Raisi.
This is not normal.
The anti-Israel uprisings at colleges across the country have featured violence (from both sides), vandalism, unlawful occupations known as “encampments,” and many other acts that go well beyond free speech. And now, at the University of Michigan, this radical protest movement just crossed the line into dangerous new territory.
This week, agitators reportedly showed up at the homes of University of Michigan Board of Regents members in the middle of the night, invading their private property. They chanted on their lawns and brought with them fake corpses, faux bloodied sheets, and lists of demands, including, bizarrely, completely unrelated desires such as “defunding the police.”
On Thursday, as we reported there was a wild exchange between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said in the past he's compared the House to "The Jerry Springer Show." Then in reference to the wild moments on Thursday, he said he would apologize to the show. That caused AOC to flip out and chastise him, saying that she was standing up for women, and somehow, MTG talking about Crockett's eyelashes was racist and misogynist. Crockett then tried to make money off of what she said about MTG,

Hell froze over when Bill Maher defended the likes of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker on his show Friday. The NFL player recently delivered a controversial commencement address at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, which sent the Left into meltdown mode. On one hand, there were some parts that many could view as anachronistic about the speech. Then again, Butker is a devout Catholic who delivered an address that aligned with those values. You can disagree without going crazy. And if Maher, an outspoken atheist and critic of organized religion, can shrug this off, so can everyone else.

The apparent crash of a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and other officials is likely to reverberate across the Middle East.
That’s because Iran has spent decades supporting armed groups in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and the Palestinian territories that allow it to project power and potentially deter attacks from the United States or Israel, the sworn enemies of its 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Democratic Maryland governor Wes Moore signed a bill establishing the first statewide gun violence prevention center earlier this week.
The project, which is called the Center for Firearm Violence Prevention and Intervention, will operate within the Maryland Department of Health. Its mission is to "consolidate and better coordinate Maryland’s public health approach to preventing gun violence," according to a press release published by the governor's office on Thursday.
"The center will partner with local governments, advocates, and medical professionals engaged in violence intervention programs to build upon the critical gun violence intervention programs that were pioneered in Maryland

The IC is coming after Judge Sam Alito, but not because of his non pretending, general J6 disdain, solid grasp on the fraud that is Joe Biden,(snip), the IC has been coming for Justice Alito since Chief Justice John Robert’s internal court counselor’s lead office staff Sheldon Snook, the husband of Mary McCord, leaked the Alito decision [Dobbs Decision] overturning Roe and sending the abortion issue back to the states.(snip), Judge Alito appears to be holding the line and forcing the IC to come out of the shadows after him. My hunch is he’s just had enough.

The godless, Christian-bashing Democrats who will oppose this bill should be reminded that the first act by the first superintendent of the Washington DC school system was to purchase a Bible for every student.
