★★★ A NEW CONSERVATIVE AGE IS RISING ★★★
He’s like 30 points ahead of Sanders; he’s got the entire Democrat Party leadership behind him, yet he can’t go to a campaign stop without insulting people, calling them stupid and telling them they’re full of shit? We’re going to look at his latest gaffe, how more and more leftists are questioning Biden’s cognitive abilities, and what it all means for the big election in November!

A major airport in Atlanta has admitted that neither its own officials, nor the Department of Homeland Security are screening travellers arriving from Italy or South Korea, two countries where the coronavirus has hit the hardest outside of China.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia announced that while the CDC has demanded screening of passengers from China and Iran, no such screening is taking place for those coming in from Italy/South Korea, “because those countries are doing exit screenings.”
As per the CDC, In the US, airports are conducting entry screening for travelers from China and Iran.
People aren’t being screened when they arrive from Italy/South Korea, because those countries are doing exit screenings.

So, essentially, officials in the US are relying on the word of their foreign counterparts that sufficient screening is happening before people leave.
This jives with reports from those entering the US after returning from Italy, confirming that they were not stopped or screened.
Italy was yesterday placed on complete lockdown after deaths increased by nearly 60 percent overnight. From today, the movement of Italy’s population of 60 million has been severely limited by the government there, with travel only being permitted for “urgent, verifiable work situations and emergencies or health reasons”.
In South Korea there are almost 8000 cases of infections.
On Friday, President Trump told the media that “The tests are all perfect”:
"The [coronavirus] tests are all perfect. Like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. This was not a perfect as that, but pretty good." — is Trump referring to the transcript of his phone call with the Ukrainian president here? pic.twitter.com/FU5XxPTu7Z
After analyzing various vectors the corona-virus has taken, and looking at the hysteria being amplified and promoted by the main stream media; Alex Jones has looked the events being covered up, including the wide open border and the lowering death rate and concluded that the deep state along with China have manufactured this crisis to try and bring down Trump. Fear is their weapon and once you see the light, you can not longer be controlled.

A group called Stop Child Protection Services from Legally Kidnapping Children (SCPSLKC) brought a civil rights lawsuit against state and county agencies in Minnesota who enforce child protection laws.
Plaintiffs in the historic lawsuit are suing “for civil rights violations and to stop child protection services from serial abuse of families.”
The group, comprised of over 9,500 parents, claims, “Minnesota’s child protection laws are unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, triggering unnecessary investigations and putting children at risk for being removed from their homes unnecessarily based on mere allegations and social worker discretion.”
The suit is historic because it’s the first in U.S. history to challenge the statutory definition of a Child in Need of Protection or Services (CHIPS).
SCPSLKC founder Dwight Mitchell selected one group member to focus their efforts on, provided free legal aid services to them and won their inaugural case against Minnesota Child Protection Services on September 11, 2018.
After CPS unnecessarily removed Amanda Webber’s son from her home when he was only 10-months old and held him in foster care for four months, a judge ruled “disinformation” was used against Webber.
“The lawsuit details how Minnesota’s child protection standards illegally put children in the category of ‘child in need of protection or services’ and place them in foster homes,” according to a press release.
The lawsuit also details the racial impact of “child kidnapping,” explaining Native American children are 17.6 times more likely to be taken by the government while those who identify as two or more races are 4.8 times more likely and African-American children are over 3.1 times more likely to be abducted by CPS.
“Minnesota’s child protection statutes authorize child protection services – not fit parents – to raise their children. It is an outrage,” Mitchell’s attorney Erick Kaardal said.
“It’s not just fathers like Dwight Mitchell who are being railroaded. Minnesota is also using its unconstitutionally low standards to seize all children, both black and white, from their single mothers,” Kaardal continued. “Therefore, the plaintiffs have sued in federal court to stop child protection services from continuing its serial abuse of Minnesota’s families. It is clear that Minnesota’s child protection services is currently broken and can’t be fixed with the current unconstitutional statutes in place.”
Since the United States District Court already ruled the group had no legal standing to challenge the state’s child protection laws, Kaardal will be presenting arguments at the U.S. Court of Appeals on Wednesday, March 11.
Kaardal is set to make the following arguments:
1) “Stop CPS From Legally Kidnapping Children” is a legitimate association with standing to bring federal lawsuits on behalf of its members just like the NAACP and ACLU.
2) Per the Eighth Circuit decision of August 10, 2018, it is well-established law that it is unconstitutional to seize a child without reasonable suspicion of child abuse. (See Stanley v. Finnegan, Court of Appeals http://media.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/18/08/172702P.pdf)
3) Minnesota’s child protection statutes have constitutional deficits in that they do not require the government to show parental harm to the child prior to seizing the child. (See Alsager v. District Court of Polk County https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=10585920528981202132&q)
4) Minnesota’s child protection statutes fail to follow the national trend of excluding “ordinary corporal punishment” from the definition of child abuse. This issue has not been addressed by federal courts, but should be. (See Com. v. Dorvil, 472 Mass. http://masscases.com/cases/sjc/472/472mass1.html)
5) Minnesota’s child protection workers do not have immunity when they seize a child without evidence of child abuse.
"My focus was on doing right and calling others to do right, as well. I wonder now if being focused on these things is what led me to get lost on my walk that morning. Similarly, those in leadership (along with the rest of us) can, by focusing on one right thing, sacrifice countless other right things along the way. But to neglect other goods in the service of one other good is sin."
KAREN PRIOR SAYS DISCERNMENT HURTS HER WORSE THAN BEING HIT BY A BUS

Never underestimate the desire of a leftist to engage in victimology. If they are not the victim of an actual crime or act of aggression, they will go so far as to make up their grievances (like Jussie Smollett or Kyle J. Howard) or even lament their own ability to look both ways before crossing the street.
Drawing from her accident, caused by stepping foot in front of a bus, Karen Swallow Prior said on Twitter that what hurts even worse are discernment ministries documenting her leftist agenda and the harm it has caused her reputation.
I’m going to say something, and I am not looking for pity or anything like it.
I’m going to say it because it’s true, and because some who are true brothers and sisters in Christ need to hear it.
I was literally hit by a bus and suffered multiple serious, life-changing injuries.
But the pain & trauma of that was nothing compared to what I have endured as a result of the trolling, lies, misrepresentations I have endured by a few in and adjacent to the#SBC.
Karen Swallow Prioroughtto feel hurt and saddened by the work that exposes her as a liar and a twister of Scripture. We agree.
Although Prior characterizes polemics reporting as “trolling, lies, and misrepresentations,” all reporting has thus far been accurate and has served to warn evangelicals of her subversive agenda as a political change-agent in evangelical institutions.
We hope and pray that discernment ministries metaphorically hit Dr. Prior like a bus. We pray it takes her off her feet and places her on her knees in repentance.
This verse applies to her…“Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby” (Hebrews 12:11)
It has to be a painful thing for Prior to hear that people consider her to be a liar and almost surely not even regenerate.
However, we would also cite Romans 12in regards to her…
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
We pray that the wicked will understand our desire that all the harm we do to their feelings and reputation will bring them to repentance and eternal joy, not to suffering. _______________________________________________________________ SEE ALSO: https://lifewayvoices.com/culture-current-events/karen-swallow-prior-on-what-she-learned-after-being-hit-by-a-bus/ On May 23rd, 2018, author and Professor of English, Dr. Karen Swallow Prior, was hit by a bus in a freak accident while visiting Nashville.
