Dear Patriots,

We had an abundance of good news to choose from this week.

Enjoy and share!

1- Little by little, state by state, we are protecting children with laws.

Missouri governor signs transgender sports, gender treatment bans

QUOTE: Missouri Republican Gov. Mike Parson signed two bills on Wednesday barring male athletes from competing in women’s sports and forbidding gender transition treatments for minors.

The first bill, Missouri Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act, forbids health care providers from performing any gender surgeries on minors and imposes a four-year block on the prescription of puberty blockers and hormone treatments, the Washington Times reported.

The second bill addresses the transgender sports issue. Its signing made Missouri the 22nd state to require male athletes to compete on sports teams that align with their biological sex.

2- While we would NEVER encourage any physical attacks on anyone, we must note this event in CALIFORNIA. The level of frustration with the insane transgender indoctrination is very high.   Men must stand strong to protect their families.

Armenian Men Beat Antifa and Far-Left Protestors Outside Glendale, CA School Board Meeting Over Pride Events 

QUOTE: Glendale has a large Armenian-Christian population and they are fed up with the LGBTQ/pride events taking place in elementary schools.

According to CBS News, 50 police officers were deployed to break up the massive brawl that erupted around 6 pm local time.

These Armenian dads have had enough!

Glendale police showed up and beat back the Armenians fighting against Antifa goons.

Of course the police rushed in to save the far-left protestors.

3- One of the few Senators who stood up to the Covid-CCP lies is writing a book on Fauci. We can’t wait!

Rand Paul Is Coming out With a Book About the Fauci Coverup and It Will Be Marvelous

QUOTE: Sen. Rand Paul is certainly a busy guy and it seems he will be busy throughout the whole year.

During a recent interview, Sen. Paul gave a sneak peek of what to expect this fall when the book comes out.

Senator Paul: “From day one, from January 31 of 2020,  Dr. Anthony Fauci was conspiring with fellow virologists to cover this up because he knew he had been one of the world’s leading advocates of gain of function research for at least a decade. He’s quoted as saying that gain of function research is so important that even if a pandemic breaks out, it’ll be worth the knowledge. He’d been an advocate for a decade. He was an advocate and the chief architect of funding the lab in Wuhan.”

“So he knew from the very beginning if this leak from the lab in Wuhan, that the guilt, the culpability for the pandemic would attach to his horrific decision to fund this lab. And so, no, he’s been trying to cover it up from day one. It’s only in the last six months or so he started saying this “open mind” thing. But no, he’s been part of an elaborate cover-up to make sure that no one ever knew the truth. But we’re going to get to the truth, I promise.”

I have a sneaking suspicion that Sen. Paul absolutely knows what he is talking about and will not only print it in his upcoming book but will have a field day doing media hits on it when he does.

4- This is very brave.

NBA Player Announces New Clothing Company for Christians and Patriots: ‘We Don’t Have to Hide’

QUOTE: Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac may be best known in conservative circles for standing during the pre-game playing of the national anthem while his teammates kneeled.

That may be about to change, however, as he branches out into a new career: selling pro-Christianity, anti-woke clothing.

Isaac tweeted Thursday about the new company, Unitus, which he said would launch in August.

Isaac was also one of the few NBA players who went public about not supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the video accompanying his tweet.

The goal of his new apparel company is to “[bring] people together over love of God and country,” according to the video, which was a clip of a recent PragerU documentary that covered the new company, “Unwoke Inc.”

5- Views, as of this writing, are topping ONE MILLION. Tucker said he hoped to be “the short wave radio under the blankets”.  

Don’t you feel that is how we have been getting information recently? Secretly….from under the covers?

Fox News is working to stop this avenue for Tucker to speak. Will they be able to stop him?

Tucker Carlson’s Twitter Debut Produces Huge Numbers

QUOTE: Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s first Twitter show on Tuesday night went viral, generating more than 85 million “views” in less than 24 hours.

In a 10-minute-long monologue, Tucker made reference to the destruction of a dam in Ukraine. He also claimed that legacy news outlets have ignored the “bombshell of the millennium” after a government whistleblower revealed that spacecraft made by non-human intelligence have been recovered by governments around the world.

“Nobody knows what’s happening. A small group of people control accesses to all relevant information. And the rest of us don’t know. We’re allowed to yap all we want about racism, but go ahead and talk about something that really matters and see what happens. If you keep it up, they’ll make you be quiet. Trust us. That’s how they maintain control,” Carlson stated.

Toward the end of the show, Carlson suggested that he would leave the platform if Twitter opts to censor him. Carlson then signed off the show, now called “Tucker on Twitter,” saying that he will be back on the platform with “much more, very soon.”

“As of today, we have come to Twitter, which we hope will be the short wave radio under the blankets,” Carlson, who spoke in what appeared to be a home studio, said toward the end of the video. “We’re told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave. But in the meantime, we’re grateful to be here.”

In comparison, Fox News’ broadcast with Jesse Watters reached 2 million viewers on Monday night, while Carlson’s replacement show on the network generated about 1.5 million viewers.

6- In addition to not watching Fox News, continue to avoid shopping at Target.

Target’s Bad News Keeps Piling Up as Company Served with Legal Letter Demanding Books and Records

QUOTE: Here’s a way to go after woke corporations: Remind them of their legal obligation to their shareholders.

And do more than remind them — threaten them.

That’s what America First Legal is doing on behalf of a Target stockholder as it is demanding to see Target’s books and records regarding the retailer’s LGBT marketing to children.

On Tuesday, AFL sent a letter to the Target board on behalf of the National Center for Public Policy Research, a Target stockholder.
Using Minnesota law regarding corporate records, it’s demanding to see Target’s books and internal communications to determine the accurate value of its client’s stock and to “investigate potential misconduct and/or breaches of fiduciary duties” by the corporation.

Refusal by Target to turn over records means AFL’s client “reserves its right to file an action compelling compliance and to pursue all of its other legal and equitable remedies,” the letter said.

7- THEY – you know, all the smart people – will try to dismiss these boycotts as unimportant and ineffectual. DO NOT FALL FOR THAT. Keep up the pressure on all the corporations that hate you.  Do not give them your attention or money. It is having an impact even as they double down.

Wall Street Journal: Consumers Force C-Suite Transgender Retreat

QUOTE: The Wall Street Journal is warning C-suite executives that their daytime adventures in woke politics can cost them their annual bonuses.

“In most of these C-suites, they’re like, ‘We don’t want to be next,'” Jim Fielding, a former top retail executive at Claire’s Stores and Disney Stores, told the newspaper for a June 6 article, headlined “Companies That Embraced Social Issues Have Second Thoughts.”

“One step can turn a social-media storm into a corporate crisis that cripples businesses and wrecks careers,” the article says.

What is changing now, executives and corporate advisers said, is that conservative groups and political leaders are pushing back against companies more forcefully. Consumers are also more openly expressing frustration that companies are airing views in ways some don’t welcome.

In the last month, the social-media storms have helped to kill roughly $10 billion in stock market value at “tuck friendly” Target retail stores and roughly $20 billion from Dylan Mulvaney’s Bud Light partners at Anheuser-Busch.

The huge losses will slash corporate bonuses for all C-Suite executives and managers — not just for the few executives that championed the populist boycotts.

8- Oh thank goodness! The Arctic is getting bigger… not melting! The oceans will not be rising. FINALLY, the left will stop talking about Global Warming.  (Not likely!).  By the way, 5,305 km is 3296 miles of new ice!

Scientists Caught Inflating Antarctic Ice Losses 3000% More Than Observations

QUOTE: A new study utilizing satellite observations determines Antarctic-wide ice shelves gained 661 Gt of mass from 2009 to 2019. An approach relying on assumptions of an unrealistic “steady state” or fixed calving flux (instead of real-world time-variable observations) estimates a net Antarctic ice shelf loss of -20,028 Gt over this same 11-year period – a more than 30-fold distortion of observed ice loss.

“Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5,305 km² since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area.”

9- Remember when the US female soccer team demanded equal pay with men because they were just as good?
They got beat by a team of retired older men. 12-0 !

4th-tier men’s team DESTROYS US Women’s soccer team 12-0, reaffirming that biological males have physical advantages over women

QUOTE: Over the weekend, the US Women’s National Team was crushed by the men’s Wrexham AFC team in a 12-0 defeat.

Wrexham, a Wales-based team owned by American actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is part of England’s fourth tier League Two. Both teams were made up of current, former, and special guest players.

The women’s team’s loss to Wrexham comes at a time when the protection of women’s sports has been in the spotlight, with many noting the differences between males and females in athletic ability, even if a biological male were to undergo a gender transition.

10- We love you brave Lydia!! Good luck in the world!

Valedictorian goes viral for faith-based graduation speech: ‘You are made in the image of God’

QUOTE:  A high school senior in South Carolina is going viral for the faith-based speech she gave to her graduating class during their commencement.

Lydia Owens, valedictorian and senior class president at Woodmont High School, shared her hardships and detailed her faith in her graduation speech.

“Even if you accomplish all of your dreams or none of them at all, you are still valuable and you are still good enough because you are made in the image of God,” Owens told her class.

“When tragedy struck my life, it was not my grades nor my accomplishments that helped me navigate through that loss. When everything else in my life felt uncertain, the only person I could depend on to stay the same was Jesus,” she said in the speech.

We are praying for an end to the horrific forest fires in Canada and for all those affected by them everywhere.

Pray. Know. Share.
