The Long Road to Freedom for Jack Phillips

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/9/2024 2:31:16 PM

Few living Americans have stood longer against government persecution for their freedoms than Colorado baker Jack Phillips. He has been repeatedly targeted under Colorado anti-discrimination law for adhering to his Christian faith. At long last, his third legal saga is over after the Colorado supreme court on Tuesday rejected the latest lawsuit against him on procedural grounds. After twelve years, Phillips is free of the courts. We can only hope he stays free — and that his fellow citizens will, too. The end of the current round of persecution of Phillips is cause for celebration but not for unbridled joy. This is America.

I don't understand why this is allowed to continue. This allowing of limitless harassment and deliberate attempts of entrapment by the lawyer are what should be illegal.

I'm gay. If a baker is not comfortable baking a cake for a same-sex wedding reception, he/she shouldn't have to. If the baker just said, "I'm not serving gays," then that's a different story. That's discrimination. But weddings are events, not people. Bakers can decide they are too busy to take orders. There may be other reasons why a baker cannot bake a cake -- maybe she/he doesn't like birthdays! LOL I am tired of the lawfare.

At American Greatness, Roger Kimball has fun at the expense of Kamala Harris’s no good, terrible, very bad week. It is all worth reading; he talks about the fake pheasant hunt, the “I’m man enough to vote for Kamala” ad, etc. But I want to focus on this story: Then there was a disastrous “town hall” meeting in which, again, multiple humiliations were assembled. First, some attentive scribe noticed that Harris was reading her replies off a teleprompter. Remember that was supposed to be an open forum in which Harris could connect with voters personally. But here she was, repeating scripted replies to pre-formulated questions.

I am not a ballistics expert and don't play one on TV. I didn't even sleep in a Holiday Inn Express, so what I write here is based entirely on the analysis of others. But I am pretty sure they are right, given the balance of the evidence and the provenance of the opinion piece published by the New York Times. At issue is a piece published by the Times in which 65 medical personnel who have worked in Gaza during the Israeli operation accuse soldiers of deliberately targeting Gazan children, shooting them in the head.

When Kamala Harris ran for president in 2019, she repeatedly warned oil companies they should be prepared to face hefty fines and even criminal prosecution under a future Harris administration for their role in contributing to climate change. Now, as the Democratic nominee, Harris is highlighting the country’s record oil and gas production. She rarely talks about climate change, and, despite having been a vigorous supporter of the Green New Deal, her campaign’s website is light on climate policy details. It’s a stark shift that illustrates the delicate politics of energy — but also how Harris has abandoned a number of progressive positions

North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN over an article the network published connecting the Republican gubernatorial nominee to numerous salacious race and sex-related comments posted on a porn site years ago, his campaign announced at a Tuesday morning news conference in Raleigh. Robinson has categorically denied the contents of the report, which connects him to a username that identified as a “black Nazi” and defended slavery on a porn-site messaging board years ago, among other unsavory posts. The report prompted the Republican Governors Association to stop reserving ads on his behalf,

Earlier today, I wrote that the presidential race appears to have shifted slightly this month in terms of national poll results, and perhaps more substantially in the betting markets. The real currents of public opinion that matter don't take place on a national basis, however; they take place in the states where the election will be won and lost. As RCP notes, the trends look different in those two contexts. Kamala Harris leads in the aggregate national polls by 1.7 points, which sounds like good news for Democrats until one looks at the historic trends in the last two cycles. On this date

Newly promoted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who also now serves as a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, prevents national security spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the podium at White House press briefings, people familiar with the matter told Axios. Infighting and “tension” reportedly exist between Jean-Pierre and Kirby about how much time each is allotted to provide the establishment media with canned public relations remarks during press briefings, Axios previously reported. Kirby is reportedly a “Biden favorite” with experience in foreign policy. Axios reported Monday on Jean-Pierre’s attempt to prevent Kirby from speaking to the press:

The mainstream media has long been a cheerleader for the Democrats. Its coverage of Donald Trump is overwhelmingly negative, while its coverage of Kamala Harris is so positive and glowing that it could blind you. The media will also give extensive coverage to any poll that shows Harris ahead and dismiss or even ignore polls that look good for Trump. However, in the past week or so, there's been an attitude change as polls have shifted to Trump. Last week, Mika Brzezinski, the co-host of “Morning Joe,” admitted that “There’s this fear that Donald Trump is poised for victory" because nothing Harris has done in recent weeks

Democrats are now in that phase of the campaign where they're losing their minds because things are not looking great. They're throwing everything up against the wall and it's only getting worse. Now the blame-throwing is coming out. We reported on how former President Barack Obama had a bit of a hissy fit at black men for not being supportive enough of Kamala Harris. He then appeared to blame them for being sexist. That didn't go over well with black men or folks like former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, who blasted Obama for trying to lecture

As we reported earlier, Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign has been rocked by allegations that Harris plagiarized parts of her book, "Smart on Crime," which she co-wrote in 2009 with author Joan O'C. Hamilton. The claims were made by leading Critical Race Theory critic Christopher Rufo in a detailed Twitter/X thread and Substack piece, both of which were published Monday morning. According to Rufo, the Democrat presidential nominee "plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal-justice book," as discovered by Austrian "plagiarism hunter" Dr. Stefan Weber, who Rufo says "has taken down politicians in the German-speaking world."

Campaigning on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris, Mr. Clinton created more problems for the Democrat by saying the man charged with the slaying, Jose Ibarra, should not have been able to slip through the cracks. “Well, if they all had been properly vetted, that probably would not have happened,” Mr. Clinton said at a campaign stop in Georgia. Mr. Clinton added that the nation needs properly vetted immigrants to help increase the nation’s declining birth rate

“Transphobia is child abuse,” Alex Roque, who runs the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City, asserted on a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) webinar last fall. In less than three minutes, he cast a vision for completely transforming child protective systems nationwide. Family rejection of a child’s gender identity cannot be dismissed as a personal view, he argued. Non-affirmation must be treated as abuse. “If they were denying them food or denying them access to school or denying other things, there would be headlines,” Roque continued. “There would be prosecution.”

Grand Rapids City Clerk Joel Hondorp revealed absentee ballots were sent out on September 26 but was later notified by 100 residents in northwest Grand Rapids that they never received them. Hondrop shared, “It’s common for some absentee ballots to get lost because the United States Postal Service has many moving pieces.” He added, “If a voter wants to know what the status of their ballot is, if they haven’t received it, they can go to Michigan.gov/vote and they can track their ballot that way.”

A new ad on behalf of Kamala Harris called "Man Enough" was released Friday, and it's easily the most cringe-worthy you'll ever see. It just might win the election for Donald Trump. (Video) "I'm a man," says a white man in a cowboy hat. "I'm a man," says a black guy lifting weights. "I'm a man," says the caricature of a bearded motorcycle club guy, and so on. As several more "masculine"-looking guys claim to be "a man," you get the feeling there's a punchline coming. There isn't. The stand-ins for real men are all actors, and they are all unintentionally funny representations of what liberals think "men" are.

Monday afternoon, journalist Christopher Rufo dropped the bombshell that Harris “plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal justice book, Smart on Crime.” The 2009 nonfiction work, coauthored with Joan O’C. Hamilton, was written while Harris was the district attorney of San Francisco and gearing up to run (successfully) for California’s attorney general.
