A now former police officer in Georgia believes he was pressured into quitting his job because of warnings from his superiors over his views on gay marriage.  Jacob Kersey, 19, resigned from the department in Port Wentworth, just a few miles outside Savannah, after refusing to remove a post on Facebook regarding gay marriage and his Christian faith.  Kersey - who joined the department at a young age in part because he was inspired by how they would 'bring peace' to his 'broken home' growing up - wrote in the post: 'God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the church. That's why there's no such thing as homosexual marriage.'

Here's the deal, Jacob Kersey... There are Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs. I won't argue how or why each is, but the fact is they are... and you apparently "identify" as a "Sheepdog". The department you are separating from now may be infected and too sick to countenance your compass heading. But being young, there is no need to deny your heart. Simply apply at the other numerous departments/jurisdictions that would feel very good about giving you a chance to see if it's a good fit.

You're a cop ? Quit now before they toss you in prison for 20 years. Prison pensions suck as bad as the work.

He’s right. He’s 19 years old, putting his life on the line, and he’s smarter than all his detractors. He gives me hope.

Gay marriage is an oxymoron. A gay marriage certificate is like a Cabbage Patch Kids adoption certificate. It make the holders happy, but it's neither a real marriage nor a real adoption.

What does that have to do with being a cop? The police department, upholding law, should consider how the U.S. Constitution allows for freedom of religion, but it seems Christians are the one group its okay to discriminate against.

So this is the state of the country now? A young man is no longer allowed to express his closely held religious beliefs. He is being driven from his job because he may hurt someone’s feelings? Can someone please explain to me why this group of individuals are so coddled and protected? It’s not like the activity they engage in is something to be proud of. Of course, we are never allowed to hear the truth about that, do we? We are only allowed to see this group as witty and having the purest intentions. They are portrayed in television, movies and the media the most kind and caring group who are horrifically discriminated against. We never hear the truth of how their insatiable lust leads them to the highest rates of promiscuity. We also never hear how the results of their behavior causes all manner of physical problems and disease not to mention the domestic violence. Do I even have to mention the grooming issue? It is not my argument that heterosexuals without sin because we all know that would be a lie and it is condemned. However, we cannot speak even the basic truth about this group. We are demanded to celebrate this lifestyle or be sued into oblivion. This group will bring down legal hell on you if you dare to refuse them a service they could easily find elsewhere. Your religious beliefs be damned. The biggest lie they tell is that they are all about love and acceptance but they cannot and will not accept any opposition, none. Americans are a fair minded people and the vast majority recoil from discrimination when they see it. We do not like it. However, we also do not like being forced to affirm things we believe to be against our religious beliefs. If we dare to refuse to tolerate, confirm or celebrate their lifestyle our lives could be ruined. Let’s be clear, this group is a powerful and well funded, vicious, intolerant, and anti-religious force that proclaims it is all about love when in truth it is all about raw intimidation and power.

Joe Biden repeated an untrue story for at least the eighth time on Monday claiming an Amtrak conductor congratulated him for racking up one million miles on the train commuting between Wilmington, Delaware and Washington, D.C. The president has told this fabricated story since at least his 2020 presidential campaign. Standing beside Maryland Governor We Moore, Biden told the often-repeated story as part of his remarks kicking off a new project to replace a train tunnel in Baltimore built in the 1870s. Biden, 80, said a conductor gave him kudos for logging more miles on Amtrak than on Air Force Two as vice president.

But when tanking ratings continue to sink to levels not seen in nearly a decade, there's bound to be some talk of whether the network is salvageable at all.  Enter a new dispatch from TheWrap noting CNN "notched its lowest ratings in nine years across all its day parts for the week of Jan. 16 through Jan. 22, 2023," per ratings data from Nielsen: "just 444,000 viewers in primetime,

The spectacle, initially spotted by an observatory in Mauna Kea on Jan. 18, first looked like a traveling bright star before it morphed shapes. It grew into a larger blob before it transformed into a dot with a spinning spiral around it, footage from the Subaru-Asahi STAR Camera shows.

This week’s Liberal Media Scream is breaking the pattern of highlighting over-the-top liberal bias in the media to point out something new on the Washington press stage: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) eagerness to call out double standards. Since his election as speaker, McCarthy has made no secret that he believes that the Washington press corps is biased and often criticizes Republican leaders for moves it never criticized Democrats for. Last week, for example, when a reporter didn’t like McCarthy’s answer to a question, the speaker said: “Let me be very clear and respectful to you. You asked me a question. When I answer it, it's the answer to your question.

Woodward, publishing company Simon & Schuster and its parent company Paramount Global are being sued for $49 million.

On Wednesday, America will kick off another black history month. This year’s theme is black resistance. Among the 9 people featured in the official poster are Angela Davis and Malcolm X — not Martin Luther King or Clarence Thomas, men who made America better, but a pair of thugs. Davis is the communist who in August 1970 surreptitiously armed three murder defendants which led to a shootout with the police that left the judge and the three gunmen dead. Malcolm X was an ex-convict who once was the face of the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist church. When he left it, the church sent assassins who killed him.

(Snip) It's not just the constitutional amendments that have contributed to the decline of the Republic, however: it's also the actions of an ever-burgeoning federal government, which has simultaneously abandoned its core fiscal, executive, judicial, and legislative responsibilities, and extended its intrusive reach into almost every facet of our existence via the creation of the regulatory agencies, which now essentially control every aspect of a citizen's public and private life.
