DOJ Gives Trans-Identifying Man No Jail Time in Pro-Abortion Church Attack Case

That the so-called Department of Justice (DOJ) under Joe Biden is a tool of the left in the culture war comes through loud in clear with Maeve Nota, a gender-confused man, when compared to the DOJ’s attempt to send pro-life advocate Mark Houck to prison for 11 years.

The Biden administration’s Department of Justice is recommending no jail time for a 31-year-old man who identifies as transgender in a case centering on the vandalization of a Catholic church, as well as the assault of a church employee.

Maeve Nota defaced St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington in June 2022 in response to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling from the Supreme Court. Along with painting discriminatory messages about Catholics, Nota also smashed a window, vandalized a statue of the Virgin Mary, and spray-painted a church employee in the face. In the plea deal proposed by the DOJ, Nota will receive three years of probation.

Nota’s case is receiving particular attention in juxtaposition to the recent prosecution of Mark Houck; earlier this year, the DOJ attempted to imprison Houck for 11 years after the pro-life father defended his young son from an aggressive abortion facility escort in Philadelphia. The pro-life movement has widely decried the DOJ’s treatment of Houck as unjust, also citing his arrest at the hands of 25 armed federal agents in the presence of his wife and young children as an act with political motivation.

Transgender Pastor Compares Treatment of ‘Marginalized’ Nashville Shooter to Jesus Being Crucified

The blasphemous sermon reported here is an example of how some “Christian” churches have gone over to the Woke agenda.

Please note: This so-called Lutheran pastor serves in the apostate Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that has jettisoned biblical teaching and the Lutheran Confessions of the Book of Concord.

A liberal transgender pastor compared Nashville shooter Audrey Hale to Jesus being betrayed and crucified less than a week after Hale murdered six people at a Christian school.

Micah Louwagie, who was recently formally installed as the pastor of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Fargo, North Dakota, delivered the Easter-themed sermon to the small congregation on April 2.

After reading the Biblical account of Jesus’ crucifixion, Louwagie immediately brought up the mass shooting in Nashville.

The Biden 10-Step Plan for Global Chaos

Under the Biden Administration, the United States is no longer respected on the world stage and is the leading decline into global chaos.

Why is French President Emmanuel Macron cozying up to China while trashing his oldest ally, the United States?

Why is there suddenly talk of discarding the dollar as the global currency?

Why are Japan and India shrugging that they cannot follow the United States’ lead in boycotting Russian oil?

Why is the president of Brazil traveling to China to pursue what he calls a “beautiful relationship”?

Why is Israel suddenly facing attacks from its enemies in all directions?

What happened to Turkey? Why is it threatening fellow NATO member Greece? Is it still a NATO ally, a mere neutral, or a de facto enemy?

Why are there suddenly nonstop Chinese threats toward Taiwan?

Why did Saudi Arabia conclude a new pact with Iran, its former archenemy?

Why is Egypt sending rockets to Russia to be used in Ukraine?

Since when did the Russians talk nonstop about the potential use of a tactical nuclear weapon?

Why is Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador bragging that millions of Mexicans have entered the United States, most of them illegally? And why is he interfering in U.S. elections by urging his expatriates to vote for Democrats?

Why and how, in just two years, have a confused and often incoherent Joe Biden and his team created such global chaos?

California Goes Full Communist: Utilities to Base What They Charge on How Much You Make

Is America in danger of becoming a communist nation? At least the state of California is making strides in that direction.

Even if you don’t live in California, you need to pay attention to these developments. If the Left continues to grow in power in our nation, you could see this happening in your state.

The state of California is implementing full Marxism before our very eyes under the guise of “equity.” And so now there can be no possible doubt if there ever was for anyone: instituting Communism has been what “equity” initiatives have been about all along. Now three of its most powerful utility companies are saying that they’re going to charge based not on how much of their product was used, but on how much money the user makes.

Normalization of Pedophilia

The United Nations has recently called for the decriminalization of all sex acts between children and adults. To most of us, this is disgusting. To others, they welcomed it. Will the United States, governed now by the elite Left that gushes over the transgender and homosexual agendas, buy in?

The normalization of pedophilia sounds like an absurd concept for many because pedophilia has always been frowned upon and most believe that pedophiles are deserving of the harshest punishment. Unfortunately, times are changing, and there are activists who work to push the normalization of pedophilia by calling pedophiles “minor-attracted persons” or citing “consent” as a reason to normalize such acts.

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. (Ephesians 6:10–20 ESV)
