Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Clint Eastwood to Film New Movie in Georgia Despite Hollywood Boycott Over ‘Heartbeat Bill’ ~ Since the Richard Jewell story took place at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Georgia’s the obvious venue anyway, still it’s good to see Eastwood’s not going to be part of the pro-abort extortion crowd ~

Despite the boycott of filming in Georgia launched by Hollywood liberals angry over the state’s new pro-life “Heartbeat” law, legendary actor/director Clint Eastwood will be making his latest movie, “The Battle of Richard Jewell,” in Atlanta this summer, reported NBC Charlotte and other media.

 
Ilhan Omar’s Ideological Attacks on Two Christian Pastors ~ Yet another congressional hearing exposed. When they’re run by Democrats they aren’t honest inquiry sessions, they’re a progressive lecture series, as Star Parker reports (This was the House Budget Committee hearings on Poverty in America: Economic Realities of Struggling Families and discussed personal responsibility vs. government programs) ~

Two courageous Christian pastors presented themselves before the House Budget Committee as living examples that the faith and freedom that made America great is still the formula that works — even in the most difficult and challenging circumstances.

 
Omar is a disgrace, and should be expelled from Congress (If she happened to be from any other demographic she would be.) ~ Revoke Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Marriage Fraud Immunity Card ~ An excellent recommendation from Michelle Malkin ~

If you are not a member of the Democrats’ protected class of bitter loudmouths who hate America, you can be investigated and prosecuted for marriage fraud. The headlines have been filled with recent crackdowns […]
 
You wouldn’t know it from the radio silence of Democratic leaders regarding radioactive Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s long-festering and bizarre bigamy scheme (which she still refuses to address), but marriage fraud is a federal felony […]
 
We have enough native-born scam artists and fraudsters without having to import more from around the world. But you know what’s even more of an insult than an ordinary foreign marriage faker? An entitled, arrogant, and unrepentant marriage faker hiding behind the “Islamophobia” and “sexism” cards. Yes, I’m looking at you, Omar.

 

Jim Crow 2.0: Big Tech’s Separate and Unequal Treatment Of Christians and Conservatives ~ Ryan Scott Bomberger is a staunch pro-life activist, a speaker, and a compelling writer (Plus his Radiance Foundation has some great web posters to share.) ~

JimCrow2.0

Big Tech always preaches about treating people equally, but they never do. Funny how their “algorithms” never seem to suspend liberals’ accounts. The religion of Inclusion is a fraud. As I write this, my organization’s Twitter account (@LifeHasPurpose) has been suspended for over two weeks for violating their cardinal rule—don’t tweet the truth. […]
 
They’re too insecure in their worldview to be challenged with facts by those outside the Silicon Valley bubble of omniscience.

 
How Hope Hicks Again Destroyed The Trump-Russia Collusion Narrative ~ (Hicks worked in communications in the White House for about 18 months.) Democrats were on another fishing expedition and once again came up empty ~

By the end of her nearly eight hours of testimony last week, Hicks obliterated many of the Russia-collusion talking points pushed by Democrats and the media for the last three years, even more expertly than Mueller did in his special counsel report. As one Democrat noted during the hearing, Hicks was “with [Trump] every day,” during both the primary and general election. She would have known had the campaign colluded with Russia.

 
Growing evidence of wind farms’ horrific toll on wildlife: This time from India ~ And the greens are trying to blame extinctions on imaginary climate change?

A new study sheds light on the carnage giant wind turbines are inflicting on wildlife in India. Researchers at the Indian Institute for Science at Bengaluru studied bird and lizard populations at three wind turbine sites in Western Ghats.
 
They found that the mass killing of avian predators by wind turbines is having a “ripple effect” across the food chain, with lizards and small mammals adjusting to substantially reduced numbers of predators in the sky.

 
Why Trump’s Cyber Attack On Iran Was The Right Move ~ The mainstreams can’t bring themselves to acknowledge how shrewdly the president responded to Iranian aggression last week ~

Many observers seem to think that President Trump backed down by not bombing a few military installations in Iran. But this cyber attack is in many ways more insidious and dangerous for the Iranian regime. By signing our name to it, the United States is sending a clear message that it is willing and able to use this newest weapon of war, to dramatic effect.

 
WATCH: Drag queen on all fours roars, growls incoherently at library ‘pride’ event for teens ~ Wow. First it was drag story hour for tots, now this perversion ~

SEATTLE, June 26, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — A public library in Washington state was the platform for a drag show and “pride celebration designed by teens for teens” that featured a man dressed in drag who roared incoherently while on all fours. One parent called it “demonic.” […]
 
Geared toward “tweens” (i.e. pre-teens), an ad on the Renton Public Library website for the Saturday event heralded “Safer sex presentations! A drag show! Free swag! Free binder raffle!” and promised “the most rainbow filled fun you can imagine!”

 
Barack’s ICE chief: Cages were Obama’s idea ~ Setting the record straight – because the Left won’t ~

(Thomas) Homan, (Obama’s executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for nearly four years) at the conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, said, “The kids are being housed in the same facility built under the Obama administration. If you want to call them cages, call them cages. But if the left wants to call them cages and the Democrats want to call them cages then they have to accept the fact that they were built and funded in FY 2015.”
 
He said that the Border Patrol facilities where all illegals are initially kept “were not built to take care of children.” In fact, the recent surge of younger illegal immigrants is a new trend.
 
He said that there are no cages but chain-link fencing that separates kids from adults, done for safety. “It’s chain link dividers that keeps children separate from unrelated adults. It’s about protecting children,” he said.

 
Conn. trans athlete policy makes women ‘spectators in their own sports’ ~ If they don’t fix this insanity, there won’t be any point in women competing at all ~

Conservative nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom is advocating for Selina Soule and two minor female athletes. ADF filed an official discrimination complaint to the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights on June 17, claiming that a new Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) policy allowing biological males who identify as transgender women to compete in female athletics deprives the female athletes of equal opportunity.

 
Colorado snow: State’s mountains welcome summer with up to 2 feet of ‘solstice snow’ ~ More global warming :roll: ~

DENVER — As much of the country greeted the first day of summer by heading to the beach or basking in the sunshine, some Coloradans bundled up and got their snow shovels ready.
 
Portions of the state’s north-central mountainous areas are forecast to get between an inch and two feet of snow this weekend — “solstice snowfall,” as the National Weather Service in Boulder called it in a tweet.

 
Created Designs for Good Health ~ New research shows that 2-3 hours per week of outdoor exposure significantly contributes to overall well-being ~

Your life will be richer if you live in harmony with the way your body and brain were designed. The Creator thought of everything. Even though the world is fallen from its original perfection, we have ample testimony of God’s design for our joy, peace and health, if we will learn from God’s word and obey it. Learn to love what is good for you, and be grateful. Gratitude increases as we learn about God’s designs, such as DNA repair during sleep and the benefits of natural environments for our eyes and minds.
