LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Departments of Public Health and Mental Health, along with Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, plan to open 50 so-called “well-being centers” at high schools throughout the City of Angels, making birth control, condoms and other “sexual health needs” available to youth.
“A high school senior decided recently that she wants to become sexually active with her boyfriend. But she is not yet comfortable talking to her mom about birth control and would be unable to get to a doctor’s appointment on her own. Instead, she walked over to the new well-being center at school during a free period,” reads a recent article from the Los Angeles Times.
“It was easy. Planned Parenthood runs a sexual healthcare clinic at Esteban Torres High School in East L.A. once a week,” it outlines.
The school is one of five locations where Planned Parenthood currently has an office, and dozens more are set to be established in the next three years. The Los Angeles Times notes that such centers will make birth control, condoms, contraception, sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing and pregnancy tests available to teens.
It also explains that under California law, children who are older than 12 can obtain these services without their parents’ consent — or knowledge.
Barbara Ferrer, who leads the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, told the outlet that the county has “one of the highest rates of chlamydia among this age group,” and that she hopes the centers will help to decrease positive STD tests in the next five years — as well as student absenteeism.
Planned Parenthood believes that the centers are beneficial as there may be a lack of “preventive care” for an age group whose “risk is highest” for “unprotected” sexual activity, along with other unhealthy practices, such as vaping, smoking or drinking.
“The on-campus Well-Being Centers aim to create a safe space in each school where students can receive the education and health services they need to lead healthy lives,” Planned Parenthood wrote in a news release.
“Now open in five high schools, the centers will eventually open on fifty high school campuses across L.A. County, and will offer services including health and wellness education services, sexual health services, peer leadership opportunities, parent education and support, and more.”
“This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between local partners to address the social, emotional, and sexual health needs of young people throughout Los Angeles County,” it stated.
The project is stated to cost approximately $12 million in the first year alone, and Planned Parenthood hopes to take over all 50 locations. It has invested $5 million into the effort for the first five years.
The Washington Examiner notes that the announcement comes on the heels of the already controversial sex education curriculum that was approved by the California Board of Education in spring 2019. Not only are children taught about transgenderism and bodily anatomy, but secondary schools may also teach about certain sex acts.
“Two of the recommended books drawing the most ire from parents were ‘Changing You,’ which includes cartoon illustrations of female and male genitalia for young children, and ‘S.E.X.: The All-You-Need-to-Know Sexuality Guide to Get You Through Your Teens and Twenties,’ which provides high schoolers with descriptions of how to perform anal sex and bondage,” the outlet explained last May.
1 Thessalonians 4:2-8 reads, “For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication, that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor — not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God.”
“For God hath not called us unto uncleanness but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man but God, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit.”

Jen Hatmaker is the progressive queen of liberal pro-gay faux Christianity who advocates for the broad acceptance of homosexuality and other aberrant sexual orientations in the Church. Like her late counterpart, Rachel Held Evans, Hatmaker is known for her endorsement of “gay Christianity” and gay authors and “pastors” such as Matthew Vines and Brandan Robertson.
Hatmaker first came out of the closet of homosexual affirmation during an interview with Jonathan Merritt, son of former Southern Baptist president, James Merritt. Subsequently, the SBC book store Lifeway pulled her materials from their shelves.
Since then, Hatmaker has made campaigning for the normalization of sexual immorality her primary mission in life and has a massive following of lost people who endorse her. To make matters worse, she also partners with pro-abortion political groups to advocate for “women’s rights” — read, abortion rights. Bottom line; Jen Hatmaker is nothing more than a voice for Satan himself disguised as an angel of light.
But this didn’t stop Max Lucado from singing her praises and giving her a glowing endorsement.Max Lucado is a best-selling Christian author and pastor at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas and is a friend of Southern Baptists like Matt Chandler and Beth Moore, partnering with them to advocate for amnesty. He’s also been praised by the SBC’s news outlet, the Baptist Press.
Lucado recently joined Hatmaker in a podcast where he gave her glowing accolades saying,"I think so highly of you. You energize me, to listen to your podcast. The other day I caught myself needing to get out of the car, but I was listening to your podcast and I just sat, and I just sat, and I just sat. You make it so easy and delightful, and yet profound at the same time."
He went on, praising her and affirming her and her followers as believers. “And your heart . . . And you know what else I like, Jen?” Lucado told Hatmaker, “You bring me in touch with a circle of believers that I might not typically have contact with, you know?”
"You expand my circle, and that’s good for me. I don’t really like my preconceptions to be tested … But it’s good for me, and sometimes when I listen to your podcast, I feel stretched tighter than a trampoline skin. But it’s good, it’s good. And I really need that and I appreciate it."
Lucado’s endorsement of Hatmaker is damaging to the gospel. Lucado, who is fairly orthodox though not without problems, lends credibility to a movement that is patently and biblically false — the “gay Christian” movement. To tell someone like Hatmaker — who clearly denies the gospel and the clear teachings of Scripture — that she and her followers are “believers” is to deny the inerrancy of Scripture and authority of God himself. One can only hope that Lucado will repent of this serious heresy.
Jen Hatmaker is a NAR Bethel 'NEW AGE- Church' of Hyper Signs and Wonders, Liberal, Pro- sin, Universalist Fake Christian Media delight, BROUGHT IN from a secular program on home design, & pushed as "Christian". She is a leader now. MASONIC SEEDING at play! She spreads error and smears the true remnant church globally. She actually denies the true Lord and gospel; she lacks any fear of the LORD at all. She represents one within the ranks of Laodicea, and the Promotion of an Anti- Bride ( Babylon Whore Church Fake). *This acquiescence of leadership is on purpose and meant to fuel a rebellion* , in the 'name of the church'. This is Satan trying to slap God in the face, and slip in an impostor.
She has yoked with the "Unity at all costs", heretical , false gospel as a "popular leader", showing forth the true colors of ecumenical, friend & false Pastor Author Max Lucado. These leaders are capitulating on the basis of creating a larger false Christianity to fit with an ecumenical, co exist, one world group salvation kingdom of the Antichrist . They are the heretical sneaky "preachers" who are deceived and deceiving others, that Jude and 2 Peter warned would come.
Lucado also tells of a Roman Catholic *Eucharist* in the kitchen of potato and milk, that brought [ Another] Jesus, who 'saved him'. .......
Been a Pastor of a church in Texas spreading 'religion' mixed with a universal gospel of 1 Cor 15:1-4. This popular book author and speaker can make a lot of money tickling the ears of more consumers of false religions, then staying pure to the Bible and her small audience of true born agains.
No other gospel or your accursed; Gal 1: 8
The video starts with the PV journalist asking Jurek, a paid staffer, if “MAGA people” need to be re-educated should Sanders become president.
“We gotta try,” Jurek replies. “In Nazi Germany, after the fall of the Nazi Party, there was a shit-ton of the populace that was f---ing Nazified.”
“Germany had to spend billions of dollars re-educating their f---ing people to not be Nazis,” he continues. “We’re probably going to have to do the same f---ing thing here.”
“That’s kind of what all Bernie’s whole f---ing like, ‘hey, free education for everybody’ because we’re going to have to teach you to not be a f---ing Nazi,” he added.
Later in the video, Jurek explains that prisoners in Soviet gulags under Stalin were paid a “living wage.”
“People were actually paid a living wage in the gulags, they conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were meant for re-education,” Jurek claims.
He then says that billionaires can only learn of their privilege by performing slave labor for 12 hours a day.
“[The] greatest way to break a f---ing billionaire of their privilege and their idea that their superior, go and break rocks for 12 hours a day. You’re now a working class person and you’re going to f---ing learn what the means, right?”
Jurek also says that if Bernie doesn’t win the nomination at the Democratic National Convention, then Milwaukee will “burn to the ground” akin to the 1968 DNC Chicago riots.
“If Bernie doesn’t get the nomination or it goes to a second round at the DNC convention, f---ing Milwaukee will burn,” says Jurek. “It’ll start in Milwaukee and then when the police push back on that, other sites will f---ing [explode].”
“Be ready to be in Milwaukee for the DNC convention. We’re going to make [1968] look like a f---ing girl’s scout f---ing cookout,” warns the Sanders field organizer. “The cops are going to be the ones f---ing beaten in Milwaukee.”
Notably, Jurek was arrested in Polk County, Iowa, last week for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, drug paraphernalia, and failure to provide proof of insurance.
The bombshell Project Veritas report comes just hours before the last Democrat debate in Des Moines ahead of the Iowa caucuses next month. Will Bernie disavow Jurek and accept the results of the primaries and 2020 election?
for informational, educational and research purposes:
A paid Bernie Sanders campaign field organizer has been caught on video declaring “F***ing cities burn” if President Trump is re-elected. He also threatened violence if Sanders does not become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. Project Veritas captured the staffer, Kyle Jurek, on camera touting Sanders’ “free education” policies because it would “teach you how to not be a f**king nazi.” He also expressed admiration for Stalin-style gulags, which, Jurek said, “were actually meant for, like, reeducation."
Those people who don’t accept the revolution should be shot, Jurek warned. “You want to fight against the revolution, you’re going to die for it, motherf*cker,” he proclaimed. “Reign of Terror” appears to be one of his slogans of choice.
Whatever the Sanders campaign ultimately decides to do with this fanatic is beside the point. Sanders attracts dangerous radicals with his repeated calls for political revolution. Some of Sanders’ followers do not draw any line between hyperbolic rhetoric and violence. That should not be surprising since Bernie Sanders himself has a history of supporting violent left-wing Latin American political movements.
Sanders has praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Sanders remarked that people "forgot that [Castro] educated their kids, gave their kids healthcare, totally transformed the society.” Sanders forgot to mention the innocent lives lost as the cost of totally transforming society. Kyle Jurek’s praised what the Cuban revolutionaries did “to reactionaries.” He said cavalierly, “they shot them on the beach.”
Sanders also admired Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega. Sanders witnessed the celebration of the "Seventh Anniversary of the Revolution" at Ortega’s invitation, where the crowd chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” After he returned from Nicaragua, Sanders said that he was "impressed" with the "intelligence and sincerity" of the Sandinista leaders. He remarked that the Sandinistas had "very deep convictions." They surely did. The Sandinista government leaders' deep convictions led them to align closely with Communist Cuba and other Soviet-bloc countries.
Also consider the radical left leanings of Sander’s top campaign officials. David Sirota was hired last year as a senior adviser and speechwriter for the Sanders campaign. Back in 2013, Sirorta wrote glowingly about the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez’s socialist policies, which Sirota credited with fueling Venezuela’s spurt of economic growth. “When a country goes socialist and it craters, it is laughed off as a harmless and forgettable cautionary tale about the perils of command economics,” Sirota wrote back then. “When, by contrast, a country goes socialist and its economy does what Venezuela's did, it is not perceived to be a laughing matter - and it is not so easy to write off or to ignore.”
Venezuela’s economy has since cratered under the weight of the socialist policies pursued by Chavez’s successor, Nicholas Maduro. Venezuela’s economy today could be a foretaste of what may lie ahead for the United States under a socialist Bernie Sanders presidency with senior advisers like Sirora by Sanders' side.
Sanders’ campaign manager is the radical progressive Faiz Shakir. Radical Linda Sarsour was beside herself with joy.
Shakir, along with Sanders’ foreign policy adviser Matt Duss, are Israel bashers. "In a climate of escalating Jew-hate, particularly coming from self-described progressives,” said Josh Block, a Democratic strategist and head of the Israel Project, “it is especially alarming that Bernie Sanders would put in charge of his presidential campaign and foreign policy portfolio two people so deeply at the heart of an anti-Semitism scandal and cancer that had to be cut-out from the Center for American Progress for engaging in vile Jew-baiting, including attacking pro-Israel Democratic members of Congress as ‘Likudniks' and American Jews as ‘Israel Firsters.'"
Endorsements of Bernie Sanders by Squad members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar demonstrate Sanders' appeal to the extreme left of the Democratic Party. Sanders after all backed Omar when she was criticized for making anti-Semitic remarks. “We will stand by our Muslim brothers and sisters,” Sanders said at the time.
Far left progressive groups such as the Center for Popular Democracy Action, the Socialist Alternative Party, Democratic Socialists of America, Dream Defenders and Sunrise Movement have also endorsed the Sanders presidential campaign.
Bernie Sanders proudly wears the mantle of socialism. He has at times tried to make case that there are good socialists and bad socialists. But in the worldview of Sanders and his supporters, it comes down in the end to whether you are on the side of the “oppressor” or the “oppressed.” Jacobin Magazine, which has written glowing articles about Sanders’ candidacy, co-authored a book back in 2016 entitled “The ABCs of Socialism.” According to the authors, “In a world filled with exploitation and oppression, one has to differentiate between the violence of those fighting to maintain injustice, and those fighting against injustice.” The authors added, “we think there’s a difference between the violence of the oppressed and that of the oppressors.”
This is the same message that the Sanders campaign aide Kyle Jurek so crudely delivered in the video captured by Project Veritas. Bernie Sanders has surrounded himself with radicals willing to entertain violence in pursuit of his strident calls for revolution. _______________________________________________________________
Bernie Sanders Field Organizer: "There's a Reason Joseph Stalin Had Gulags"
Bernie Sanders: A Bernie Sanders administration isn't going to talk about sending political dissidents to GULAGS. It's ACTUALLY going to do it. Bernie Sanders will fight to Gulag everyone opposed to his policies. Bernie Sanders will Gulag Wall Street. Bernie Sanders will Gulag the Wall Street Journal. Bill Sanders will Gulag you, if you don't vote for him.
Anderson Cooper: Do you really think that sending everyone to Gulags is an electable platform?
Bernie Sanders: HELL YES. We just need millions of people coming together to Gulag everyone who doesn't want to give them free college, free pot and free Gulags. RIGHT NOW there are 100,000 community organizers at centers around the country drawing up lists of who to Gulag.
Anderson Cooper: Do you see any obstacles to this plan to put 50 percent of the country in arctic prison camps?
Bernie Sanders: Global Warming. If the ice melts, how are we going to keep them in the Gulags?
BREAKING: @BernieSanders “free education” policies to “teach you how to not be a f**king nazi.”; 'There is a reason Stalin had Gulags'; 'Expect violent reaction' for speech. If Bernie doesn't get nomination "Milwaukee will burn"
Here's the perfect embodiment of Homo Sandericus, an angry socialist hipster who threatens to burn down Milwaukee and defends Stalin's gulags, while suggesting that free college could be a useful means for reeducating Republicans who are all Nazis.
Life truly outdoes satire. __________________________________________

[Reformation Charlotte] The Baptist Press is the Southern Baptist
Convention’s propaganda outlet that typically reports on absolutely
nothing newsworthy in the way of Southern Baptist life, culture, or
doctrine. The outlet is primarily used to promote the circle of elites that
micromanage the denomination and sway public opinion when the
arrogance of those in charge becomes too much and ignoring criticism
from Southern Baptists is no longer an option.
That’s exactly what the Baptist Press recently did. Publishing an article today — dubbed an “explainer” — the outlet sought to turn down the heat of public opinion from conservatives who are growing increasingly concerned with the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission head, Russell Moore’s ties to leftist billionaire, George Soros. The article, titled ERLC, George Soros and Evangelical Immigration Table, claims that there are no ties and that those blogs who perpetuate this are not being truthful.
Unfortunately for them, facts are facts.
Firstly, the article cites a Breitbart.com report — but doesn’t link the article so that people can see for themselves — stating that the article at Breitbart, "recently highlighted the Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), an organization credited with persuading multiple governors to allow refugees to resettle in their states. The article also suggested the group has ties to the progressive billionaire George Soros."
The Breitbart article they didn’t link to can be seen at this link.The Baptist Press article also said that, "A number of blogs have circulated these rumors, charging the group and those affiliated with it as advancing an “open borders” mass immigration agenda. These claims have proved to be false."
Who do they cite to prove that these claims are false? Snopes. The liberal, progressive “fact-checking” site, Snopes that needs to be fact-checked itself.
The Baptist Press writes,
"The fact-checking website Snopes.com published a piece in December 2019 debunking this same Soros charge aimed at another evangelical organization. The article describes the Soros accusation as consisting of “convoluted connections,” claims the charges, “stretch and distort the existing facts,” are “factually insupportable,” and “simply false.”"
Right, well. Here’s the truth. The Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT) is a front group for the National Immigration Forum (NIF). The EIT is not an entity that even legally exists in the corporate structure. It is nothing more than a group of leaders who, at the behest of the NIF, carry out the agenda of the NIF into Evangelical circles. It’s that simple.
And it’s not just that the NIF is funded directly by the Open Society Foundation either. But the NIF is also supported by MALDEF (Latino Legal Voice for Civil Rights in America), the ACLU, the National Immigration Law Center, La-Raza, and the AFL-CIO which are all funded by George Soros. If you really want to dig into the facts of the National Immigration Forum’s funding and George Soros’ involvement, here’s an actual trustworthy fact-checking site that lays out the actual facts.
So, how does the NIF control the EIT? The EIT told Breitbart in an email that they selected the National Immigration Table to “facilitate its work.” The email reads, "The Evangelical Immigration Table functions as a coalition of partners and does not exist as its own non-profit.
The principal organizations that serve as the coalition’s leadership are listed on our website and include Bread for the World, the Christian Community Development Association, CLUE Orange County, Esperanza, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the National Association of Evangelicals, the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, Sojourners, World Relief and World Vision."
The organizations that make up the leadership of the Table are predominantly 501(c)3’s but some have affiliated 501(c)4’s.
Funding for our work comes from a variety of sources including the organizations that make up the leadership of the Table as well as other individuals and institutions that believe in our message.
Early in the formation of the Table’s work, the leadership sought a neutral third-party institution, the National Immigration Forum, to help facilitate our work."
So, the email from the EIT told Breitbart that they do not exist as their own legal entity, the Southern Baptist Convention’s ERLC (Russell Moore) is a leader, and that the National Immigration Forum — which receives 10 percent of its funding according to their own executive director — is who facilitates the work of the EIT and that the NIF is “neutral.”
Right.
To make matters worse, Jim Wallis of the highly liberal Sojourners who is also a leader of the Evangelical Immigration Table admitted to receiving funding from Soros after initially denying it. In an article now deleted from Christianity Today but still available on archive.org, Wallis stated, "I should have declined to comment until I was able to review the blog post in question and consulted with our staff on the details of our funding over the past several years. Instead, I answered in the spirit of the accusation and did not recall the details of our funding over the decade in question."
Interestingly, it sounds a lot like what’s going on at the Baptist Press right now. While the Baptist Press is refusing to address the actual and factual allegations made against the entity head’s cooperation with an obviously George Soros-funded organization, the National Immigration Forum, through its front group with no actual legal status, the Evangelical Immigration Table, they are citing leftist propaganda websites that have no interest in actually fact-checking and reporting accurately, but only advancing a liberal agenda.
If you think that George Soros — a front man for Satan himself — isn’t using every possible avenue he can to corrupt and destroy the Church, even through historically conservative channels, you are beyond naive. Wake up Southern Baptists.
In this video, we review an animated Barbie video teaching children how to do yoga. We will look in-depth at what these postures mean, and we will see how yoga poses are actually worship postures devoted to the gods of Hinduism; entities the Bible calls demons. One posture is intended to mimick Shiva cutting the head off of Daksha and putting in on a stake. Yoga is not something Christians, or anyone else, should be practicing.
