Thousands Decry New Connecticut Bill: Forcing Parents To Get ‘Approval’ To Educate Their Children Is ‘Obscene’
Home educators in Connecticut are officially in the government’s crosshairs. In fact, under a new bill moving through the legislature, parents will need approval from child protection services to homeschool. And they will have to prove to bureaucrats that they are providing “equivalent instruction” to that offered by the government-school system. Only about a third of children in the state’s public schools are even “proficient” in reading or math, federal data show. Suicide, mental problems, and other issues are off the charts and rising among government-educated children, too. So, it was not immediately clear why anyone would want homeschoolers to be subjected to “equivalent instruction.”

Biden FDA Knew About COVID Vaccine Stroke Risk And Kept Americans In The Dark
FDA and CDC officials under the Biden administration identified a significant stroke risk tied to Pfizer’s COVID-19 bivalent booster in seniors – and never breathed a word to the public. “HHS records show that as early as October 2022, federal health officials identified a potential connection between the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent booster and ischemic stroke for individuals over the age of 65,” Johnson wrote. Despite the risk, the Biden administration issued no formal warnings. It gets worse….
How Easter turned to blasphemy at the White House
Paula White, who heads the White House Faith Office, compared Donald Trump to Jesus Christ, calling him the “greatest champion of faith that we’ve ever seen in a president.” She made this parallel repeatedly in her remarks, comparing Trump’s alleged suffering to that of Jesus, saying that no one had paid a price like he had, that he had been falsely accused, and that, like Jesus, he had risen into victory. She even said that because of the resurrection, God’s victory was now being worked out through Trump in all he does. I guess that includes war crimes? We have a president who poses an unprecedented danger and religious leaders who, in their support of him, have crossed into blasphemy. All the perils of Christian nationalism came together and were shown to us with clarity this Easter. It is undeniable.
