The psychotic immigration policies of Minnesota Republicans



I've been working on a project this last week that has required me to look at the web sites and read the comments of Minnesota's candidates for governor, Senator, and Members of the U.S. Congress.

I have been struck by how some of the candidates say things that contradict reality.

Jeff Johnson, a candidate for Minnesota Governor, writes that "I am pro-life" and that "My Christian faith guides every decision I make."

He goes on to say: "There is no more important issue than protecting innocent life. Not only is this a moral issue, recent breakthroughs in science and technology have made even more clear that we must protect the life of the unborn. I am Pro-Life and believe in the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death."

State Representative Jim Newberger is running against Senator Klobuchar. Like Jeff Johnson, Rep. Newbeger has made an issue of his support for Donald Trump's policies.

On his website Newburger writes: "I have worked hard to protect the unborn, and our constitutional rights, and our freedom from government intrusion and higher and higher taxes and fees and I will do it again in the US Senate."

I think the "innocent life" that Johnson is talking about is "the unborn" that Newberger refers to. Both of these men have been vocal supporters of Donald Trump's policy of separating immigrant and refugee children from their parents. I would think protecting innocent life would include protecting and nurturing children that are born. But, in Jeff Johnson's crazy world, the unborn are more deserving then the born.


    But it isn't just the innocent already born that the policies of Trump, Johnson, and Newberger are ravaging. Trump, and by their support, Johnson and Newberger have repealed the Obama era ban on jailing pregnant immigrant and refugee women. In addition, Trump has taken to shackling pregnant women by the hands, legs, and abdomen.

May those who claim to be Christians, and to be protectors of the unborn, burn in eternal hellfire for shackling pregnant women's abdomens.

A report by Buzzed News says that some women that have been shackled in this way have miscarried. The miscarriages have caused life threatening situations for some women, according to the Buzzed reporters. You can read the article below;

The shackling of pregnant women is consistent with the barbarous disrespect that Trump and his allies show toward all women. Killing "the unborn" of immigrant and refugee women in the process shackling them is a new step down into the dark pit of depravity. Saying that "the unborn" are sacred,  and at the same time justifying immigration policies that kill them is psychotic.

Senator Gazelka: Prepare for End Times

Review by John King “Marketplace Ministers are part of how the Lord will reach the peoples of the earth in these last days.” Author Paul Gazelka wrote this astonishing sentence near the conclusion of his 2003 book, Marketplace Ministers , but it is a good place to start here because it so neatly encapsulates the message of the book which is that business people, by spreading the Gospel, are in a unique position to prepare us, for the end of the world.   Gazelka, an insurance salesman in Baxter, Minnesota, devotes chapters one through four to the story of his religious calling and how he came to adopt the “marketplace” as his personal ministry.  He goes to some length, relying in part on the “Fivefold Path” from Ephesians to convince the reader that the marketplace is a legitimate pulpit to spread the Word.  The remainder of the book, using personal anecdotes and biblical passages, he explains how a marketplace ministry would function and what its usefulness w...

Let us all walk in the foot steps of John Lewis

By John King In Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, March 7, 1965, John Lewis, standing in the lead of a long line of marchers, looked down from the crest of The Edmund Pettus Bridge at the line of police armed with clubs, whips and truncheons and said, “I am going to die here.” Lewis intended to lead the marchers from Selma to the capital Montgomery, to demand access to voting for Black people in Alabama. Sheriff Jim Clark lowered his gas mask and led the deputies, some on horseback and some on foot, into the line of marchers. Under swinging clubs and hooves trampling, Lewis was the first to go down. Women and children were not spared. Choking and blinded by tear gas, they were struck by clubs and truncheons wrapped with barbed wire. Lewis, with a fractured skull and a severe concussion, almost did die. The nearby Good Samaritan Hospital did not have enough beds to care for the injured marchers. A nation watched in horror as news footage of that bloody day appeared on T...
