AMERICAN THINKER
— God Save Us from the Woke Pastor – Jason Mattera (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, “religious leaders” glowingly paint themselves and glowingly paint their followers as being anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-Protestant, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. When is the last time that “religious leaders” in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, and in your county spoke against dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination? Ever-increasingly, “religious leaders” act as operatives or as dupes for the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green parties.)

POLITICO
— We Don’t Need to Cancel George Washington. But We Should Be Honest About Who He Was. We can only have a real discussion about monuments if we can first agree on the same premise. – ISSAC J. BAILEY (DIERSEN: Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs focus on canceling those individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. Who takes the lead in canceling individuals, organizations, and companies in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, and in your county? I should write a book about those in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County who focus on canceling individuals, organizations, and companies.)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/facebook-just-lost-one-of-the-biggest-advertisers-in-the-world-for-the-rest-of-2020/ar-BB160DXf
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook has been the subject of criticism for its decision not to take action on statements from President Donald Trump that warned that looters during protests would be shot. While the platform has in recent years taken numerous steps to crack down on hate speech, civil rights groups remain critical of the social platform’s role in the rise of extremism along with the latitude it gives to the president. Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone said the company invests billions of dollars a year to keep its platform safe. “We’ve opened ourselves up to a civil rights audit, and we have banned 250 white supremacist organizations from Facebook and Instagram,” Stone said in an email. Stone also stressed a recent European Union report that said Facebook identified 90 percent of hate speech before it was reported and acts faster that Twitter or YouTube. The Facebook protest was mobilized by the NAACP, the Anti-Defamation League and other groups such as Color of Change and Sleeping Giants, a group that targets advertisers that support certain right-wing content, among others.)
