As Governor, Mike Pence nearly lost the religious freedom issue forever with one of the worst punk out betrayals of all time. As VP his coronavirus task force nearly lost the country forever. More than a few smattering of boos and calls of “traitor” is in order here.
A political example needs to be made of Pence — that courage of conviction is every bit the judge of one’s character as piety, if not more so in times like these. He’s no leader in the arena, but the same old Surrender Caucus with more Bible verses. He’s anathema to what we need.
We need Nehemiahs. Pence is the embodiment of the milquetoast and spineless spirit that has gripped the church, and in the process of handing the country over to the Spirit of the Age. Send him on mission trips, don’t make him a general. Unless you want to lose even faster.
Pence is the guy who lacks the self-awareness to know he’s a chaplain, but thinks he’s a Patton. We have enough of these types. We’ve lost enough with them. Read the signs of the times, and the times call for Grants (Nehemiahs) who take names until the enemy surrenders.
Pence has proven, on multiple occasions, that when the heat is on he ain’t the one to storm Canaan or cut down the Oden tree in the pagans’ faces like Boniface. These types of males are poised to lose the SBC and the country as a whole as we speak. No more!
It doesn’t mean he’s a terrible person, his piety could be used in other arenas. Again, send him on mission trips, but don’t dare make men like Pence your mission commanders. The Spirit of the Age belly laughs when we do.

From the very beginning of this tyrannical episode, some of us took a lot of risk pushing back on clear data distortions, narrative gaslighting, media agitprop, and Fauci canonization. And now thanks to #FauciEmails confirmation of a scamdemic is cemented.
We should’ve never played it safe. We should’ve never given the benefit of the doubt. We should’ve instead assumed the same Spirit of the Age that lies and mismanages everything else would do the same with this, too. The temptation for tyranny just too great.
And we would’ve confirmed this months ago, if some folks with major conservative media platforms hadn’t kissed Big Tech and Big Pharma’s arse, or peddled the same stupid partisan political porn and focused on this existential crisis instead.

Imagine if they would've told us from the beginning something like this: "This virus from China, we're unsure of its origin and therefore pathology. Which means we need to throw everything we can at it until we have enough real-time data to know for sure."
And they used measured pleas on mitigation efforts that in the past had been ruled out and would explain why we were quarantining the healthy. Because maybe a synthetic respiratory virus was designed for asymptomatic spread, but we just don't know yet?
And therefore when they told us "we're all in this together" they actually meant it. That we would mobilize the home front against either a punitive accident or bio-weapon event. That they were learning about it as we were, in real-time.

Analysis of Kristi Noem's proposed changes and veto of the bill protecting women's sports -- and sanity -- in South Dakota from the Family Policy Alliance:
"Her promised veto removes the enforcement mechanism. It leaves no avenue for a parent or female athlete to take legal action against a liberal school district that decides to ignore the law."
"Second, it removes college sports – a giant omission – because of the threat of an NCAA lawsuit and her fear of losing out on hosting conference championships."

Thread on what's happening here with mental illness as public policy and Kristi Noem. @seanmdav previously described it as "dissembling" and that is perfect term.
Noem, who made clear and definitive statements when pushing back on Covid fascism for the past year, suddenly has a catechesis to offer on why she refused to sign a very simple bill. A 22-tweet thread. You read that right -- 22 tweet thread!
Her thread is over 400 words! Or more than 5 times the total words found in the First and Second Amendments COMBINED. And all to explain away her dissembling on the first fundamental fact stated about every human being ever: "it's a boy/girl."

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them
A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal
That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

Didn't know what a Lin Wood was before the GA runoff, and I don't care now. He may well be somewhere between grifter/nutter for all I know. But I know this, Team GOP is setting him up as their Russian Collusion excuse if they lose Tuesday. As opposed to the GOP's own betrayals.
It also shows contempt for their own base that Team GOP, and its whore/proxies in "conservative media," really think it's plausible that whatever the Hell a Lin Wood is could just instantly manipulate their own voters against their own will.
Let's assume Lin Wood is a grifter/nutter for the sake of argument, he could only capitalize on these wild speculations and empty promises if indeed the base has been abused so much by Team GOP there's a market for it.
