Trump Supporting Texas Pastor Kills His Parents

A Texas pastor who repeatedly questioned COVID-19 restrictions and continued to hold services during the pandemic lost both of his parents to coronavirus complications earlier this month.
Pastor Todd Dunn of Fort Worth's 2nd Mile Church was in the hospital on Dec. 7 when his 84-year-old father and 79-year-old mother passed within hours of each other. Both of the Dunns were parishioners at their son's church, and began to feel ill around Thanksgiving.
Dunn, whose social media posts have called the coronavirus restrictions a plot of "the Left" and a countermeasure against Christians in America, said in a recent interview that he was operating on bad information in the early days of the pandemic. When the pastor first urged "faith over fear" among his congregation, the coronavirus numbers in Texas were much lower, the threat more abstract.
"I do feel like the numbers were different in the spring and summer. And my opinion on it was based on the numbers that I saw back then,” Dunn said in an interview with the Dallas News. “I went seven months and didn’t know one person individually who had it. Now all of a sudden...For some reason there’s been a surge.”
Dunn still doesn't believe there's anything he could have done different to help his parents. He noted that the couple followed guidelines, limited their time in places like grocery stores and wore masks in church. Dunn told the paper that he doesn't discourage his churchgoers from wearing masks and that his sermons are available online. Still, Dunn said he's reeling at the loss of his parents.
"I’m human. Night times are the hardest. I’m a pastor, but I’m human. And I’m a son,” he said."I just know by my faith and the word of God that I’ll see my parents again. And that’s what’s getting me through this.”

The COVID-19 Surge and the Mutation: A Blessing in Disguise
As the surge continues, more and more Trump supporters will die in even greater numbers. The Christmas surge will dwarf the Thanksgiving surge. When combined with the COVID-19 mutation which has made the coronavirus 70% more deadly, we can expect the mother of all surges throughout winter and into the spring. Most of the deaths and infections will involve Trumpers aka MAGAts.
The consequences of this purge will impact the United States and the world for decades. Most humans won't admit it but a purge of the MAGAts will benefit all humanity. We should encourage all MAGAts to continue to believe Trump's litany of COVID-19 lies.
Eventually, the world will see herd immunity but until then, COVID-19 will infect and kill mostly MAGAts. The social and political implications of the coming purge could change the world. Trumpers aka MAGAts are a bane. Ideally, they are should be destroyed but our leaders don't have the belly to make that happen. They are under the impression that there is good in everyone. They are shockingly and dangerously naive. While non MAGAts get upset when a MAGAt mows down a crowd of humans, shoots up a mall a church, or a school, they turn a blind eye to their other actions that have cost even more lives and allowed this virus to destroy the livelihood of small business owners simple because they don't care about the rights and well being of others and they never will. The surge is a purge.

Kiddie Porn Loving Trump Supporter Kidnaps 12 Year Old Girl
A white supremacist Trump supporter who has advocated for legalizing child porn was arrested and charged with kidnapping a 12-year-old girl he met online
A 40-year-old man with a history of supporting pedophilia and rape was arrested and charged with kidnapping a 12-year-old girl, police said.
Nathan Larson, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2018, previously admitted to HuffPost that he was a pedophile.
In a manifesto for his congressional run in Virginia, Larson advocated for the legalization of child porn.
A self-proclaimed white supremacist who has advocated for the legalization of child porn and created online chat rooms for pedophiles was arrested and charged with kidnapping a 12-year-old girl.
Authorities said Nathan Larson abducted the girl after meeting her on social media in the fall, according to a Saturday press release from the Fresno County Sheriff's Office. Fresno police said Larson was arrested at the Denver International Airport during a layover with the girl, who was reported missing on December 14 and has since been reunited with her family. Larson, who is 40, was flying with the girl from Fresno to his home in Virginia, according to police.
Larson faces a misdemeanor charge of harboring a minor as well as federal charges of kidnapping, child abduction, soliciting child pornography from a minor, and meeting a child for the intention of sex.
Larson met the 12-year-old girl online in October. Police said he "was able to convince the Fresno girl, through manipulation and grooming, to send him pornographic images of herself" over the last two months. Tony Botti, the public information officer at the Fresno County Sheriff's Office, declined to share which social-media platform Larson had used to meet the victim. In an email to Insider, Botti said, "All social media can be used for malicious purposes."
Larson was previously arrested in 2008 for sending a letter to the Secret Service threatening to kill the president of the United States. He pleaded guilty and spent 14 months in prison, authorities said.
The 40-year-old is a known figure in the world of fringe online message boards, having previously created two websites for pedophiles and incels, or involuntary celibates. When he ran for Congress as an independent in Virginia in 2018, the IP address for his campaign website matched those of the message boards, HuffPost found.
In an interview with HuffPost in 2018, Larson admitted to being a pedophile. He also told the outlet that there was a "grain of truth" to an essay he wrote about father-daughter incest and another story in which he claimed to have raped his ex-wife. His ex-wife was granted a restraining order against him in 2015, the Washington Post reported, before she died by suicide.
Larson, who called Adolf Hitler a "white supremacist hero" in a 2018 campaign manifesto, has written extensively about his chauvinistic, patriarchal views, and engaged in discussions about violence, pedophilia, and rape on the message boards he previously ran. In one post published under a pseudonym in 2018, Larson wrote, "feminism is the problem, and rape is the solution," according to HuffPost.
"We need to switch to a system that classifies women as property, initially of their fathers and later of their husbands," Larson wrote in a 2018 campaign manifesto for his failed congressional run. "The purpose of women, in a patriarchal society, is to be reliable conformists to what is expected of them, and to be judged primarily based on their beauty and cooperativeness, i.e., their averageness; and only secondarily on the basis of intelligence."
In that manifesto, which was taken down but remains available through webpage captures, Larson said he supported the "legalization of child pornography possession and distribution." He also said he was running on a platform that included restoring "benevolent white supremacy."
The Fresno County Sheriff's Office said in its press release that "detectives believe he has victimized other children in the past, but those cases have never been reported to law enforcement," because of the "sophisticated nature" with which Larson groomed the girl from Fresno. Botti, the public information officer, told Insider on Monday afternoon that the sheriff's office had already received a "tremendous" amount of tips from people across the US and Canada who communicated with Larson.
Fresno police said Larson is currently incarcerated in the Denver County Jail and is expected in court on December 24. He has not yet entered a plea.

Deadly Force and Anti-Maskers
Depending on your age and health the coronavirus case mortality rate increases. 2.3% of the people who get sick with COVID-19 die. Since most of them are Trumpers that's good. As age increases the risks increase dramatically. When health conditions are factored in, the percentage on people dying increases even more. To put this into perspective, only 4% of people die from knife wounds. Would a police officer or a citizen be legally justified in killing a crazy knife wielding asshole? Hell yes! It would then follow that since COVID-19 is more lethal than a knife wound in many groups of humans, Therefore, deadly force is morally justified. In fact, killing anti-maskers would save countless human lives. A bounty on anti-masker would stop this epidemic in its tracks.
We are in lock down because the MAGAts and their anti-mask behaviors? Hospitals are being overwhelmed because of MAGAts and their anti-mask message and anti-mask behaviors. Now that you know COVID-19 kills more humans than knife wounds can you think of any reason why deadly force should not be used to neutralize spit spewing anti mask MAGAts?
If a slobbering Trumpanzee gets in your face and you shoot that son of a bitch, if I were on your jury, I'd vote NOT GUILTY and add you to my Christmas card list.
Oct 11, 2020 — The president's illness presented a last potential inflection point. But he emerged from it still determined to be seen maskless.
Aug 7, 2020 — LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Little Rock police are investigating after a 64-year-old woman said she was attacked by "Trumpers" for wearing a face ...

Crede Bailey Should Sue Trump and His Mob
Op Ed: Members of the US Secret Service details who protect out presidents are at risk. So far they have done a good job and they have improved after President Reagan was shot. They know the dangers going in but is it moral or legal to subject these public servants to the 100% preventable Coronavirus in the manner Trump did with his many super spreader events in the White House and at his MAGAt rallies?
When is comes to Federal Government Workers OSHA's protection applies to all federal agencies. Section 19 of the OSH Act makes federal agency heads responsible for providing safe and healthful working conditions for their workers. Crede Bailey was a federal employee and Trump knowingly placed him in preventable danger with his lies, super spreader events and anti mask environment.
Head of White House security office has his right foot amputated because of severe COVID-19 and is facing 'staggering medical bills,' new report says
The head of the White House security office, Crede Bailey, had a part of his lower right leg and the big toe of his left foot amputated because of COVID-19, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
Bailey has been hospitalized with a severe case of COVID-19 for three months but is said to be recovering.
Friends of Bailey's have raised over $35,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for his rehabilitation and "staggering" healthcare costs.
Crede Bailey, who heads the White House security office, lost part of his lower right leg, including his foot, and a toe of his left foot during a months-long battle with COVID-19, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
Bailey, whose office handles White House credentials and works with the Secret Service, contracted the coronavirus in September. He's been hospitalized for three months but is said to be recovering from the illness.
Friends of Bailey's have raised more than $35,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for his rehabilitation and healthcare.
"Crede beat COVID-19 but it came at a significant cost: his big toe on his left foot as well as his right foot and lower leg had to be amputated," Dawn McCrobie, who organized the fundraiser, wrote in an update last week.
A White House representative declined to comment about Bailey's condition to Business Insider. Bloomberg reported that Bailey's family requested that the White House not publicly acknowledge his illness.
McCrobie wrote last month that Bailey's family "has staggering medical bills from a hospital stay of 2+ months and still counting in the ICU and a long road ahead in rehab before he can go home." She added that Bailey would need to pay for alterations to his home and a car he could operate to accommodate his disability.
Many dozens of top administration officials and people tied to the White House have contracted COVID-19, and President Donald Trump has consistently downplayed the threat the virus poses. The president, who contracted the virus and was hospitalized for several days in October, has told Americans not to be afraid of COVID-19, mocked those who wear face masks, and condemned states' aggressive measures to slow the spread of the virus.

Violent Maskless MAGAts Swarm DC
MAGA Marchers and Proud Boys Descend on D.C., Setting Fire to Churches' Black Lives Matter Signs and Getting into Stabbing Fights [Updated]
Roaming bands of white supremacists trawled the streets of Washington D.C. on Saturday, setting fires to Black Lives Matter banners and getting into stabbing fights in what appeared to be a free-for all outpouring of racist rage.
Earlier in the day, MAGA supporters gathered in the nation’s capital for a rally to protest the election results, where the Washington Post reports they heard from Alex Jones and Michael Flynn (who was recently pardoned by Trump for lying to the FBI).
Mini MAGAts Whine Like Pussies
Videos posted on social media show a band of diminutive, pinch-faced, red-hatted white men chanting that they will “destroy the GOP” because the party has not ensured Trump stays in office—though he has absolutely no valid claim to do so because he undeniably lost the election.
By that evening, members of the white nationalist Proud Boys group began spreading out across the D.C. area, pulling Black Lives Matter signs off of historically Black churches and destroying them—including by setting the signs afire:
“Last night demonstrators who were part of the MAGA gatherings tore down our Black Lives Matter sign and literally burned it in the street,” said the Rev. Ianther M. Mills of Asbury Methodist Church, one of the institutions whose sign was taken by the marauding MAGAs. “For me it was reminiscent of cross burnings.”
Rev. Mills added that the church would “move forward, undaunted in our assurance that Black Lives Matter and we are obligated to shout the truth without ceasing,” but said that he found it alarming that the incidents were not being denounced at the highest levels.
President Trump notoriously told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by” during the presidential debates in September, and it appears that they have consequently responded to the statement as marching orders in light of their leader’s electoral loss.
At some point last night, the white nationalist group also clashed with counter protesters in physical fights in which multiple people were stabbed.
From the Washington Post:
At least four people were stabbed near Harry’s Bar at 11th and F streets NW, a gathering point for the Proud Boys, a male-chauvinist organization with ties to white nationalism.
The victims were hospitalized and suffered possibly life-threatening injuries, D.C. fire spokesman Doug Buchanan said. It was not immediately clear with which groups the attackers or the injured might have been affiliated.
The violence escalated after an evening of faceoffs with counterprotesters that took place near Harry’s, Black Lives Matter Plaza, Franklin Square, and other spots around downtown. At first, officers in riot gear successfully kept the two sides apart, even as the groups splintered and roamed. In helmets and bulletproof vests, Proud Boys marched through downtown in military like rows, shouting “move out” and “1776!”
Though this year we’ve seen riot cops employ pepper spray and use their batons wantonly against people during protests for racial justice, the police present in D.C. last night appeared unprepared to sufficiently stem the clashes happening on the streets, which left at least eight people injured and hospitalized two officers. The police said 23 people were arrested from Saturday’s violent gatherings.
As darkness continues to fall quicker across the country during the winter, it remains to be seen just how far these white “protestors” will be allowed to take out their rage at losing the election, and when any leader—Republican or Democrat—will have the courage to speak out and condemn them unreservedly.
Updated: 12/13/2020, 4:15 p.m. ET: The D.C. police say that they are investigating the Proud Boys’ burning of Black Lives Matter signs taken from the Ashbury Methodist Church and Metropolitan AME Church as possible hate crimes. “We take these offenses very seriously,” said a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department in a statement to The Root. The MPD is asking anyone with information about the incidents to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.
Trump's Maskless MAGAt's Shout, "Destroy the GOP"
Protesters, mostly maskless, gathered in D.C. from across the country this weekend to show their support for President Trump and express their refusal to accept the 2020 presidential election results. At one point, the crowd chanted “Destroy the GOP!” to express their anger with the party for failing to keep Trump in the White House. The rally was held just one day after the Supreme Court delivered a likely fatal blow to Trump’s hopes of remaining in power.
According to the Washington Post, thousands of protesters were in the D.C. streets for the “Stop the Steal” event on Saturday, but not nearly as many as the pro-Trump protest one month ago.
A motley crew of pro-Trump figures was in attendance, including conspiracy theorist Alex Jones; Trump’s disgraced former national security advisor Michael Flynn, who was pardoned by Trump; and former Trump foreign policy adviserSebastian Gorka. The president even flew over the gathered crowd in Marine One en route to a football game at West Point.
In his speech, Flynn tried desperately to keep hope alive that the president would somehow manage to overturn the democratically chosen President-elect Biden, despite the fact that thus far every one of his attempts has been thwarted. The speech was Flynn’s first public remarks since Trump pardoned him in late November.
“Don’t get bent out of shape… There are still avenues,” Flynn said, adding, “We’re fighting with faith, and we’re fighting with courage.”
He continued, “The courts aren’t going to decide who the next president of the United States is going to be. We the people decide.”
Flynn’s sister also attended and gave a hilarious rendition of “God Bless America” by forgetting the song’s basic lyrics.
Even minor MAGA celebrity Mike Lindell, AKA the My Pillow guy, tried to inject hope into the crowd. “Last night, about two in the morning, I got a text from [Trump lawyer] Sidney Powell’s team, and the Texas lawsuit [rejected by the Supreme Court] had nothing to do with what she’s been working hard on,” he said. “And she filed her lawsuits with the Supreme Court for Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona… I have seen it, the fraud is 100 percent, and Donald Trump will be our president for four more years!”
But Jones delivered a less hopeful message. “The system is publicly stealing this election from the biggest landslide and the biggest political realignment since 1776,” Jones screamed to cheers from the crowd.
Also in attendance were members of the hate group Proud Boys, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as “anti-Muslim and misogynistic.” And Enrique Tarrio, the group’s leader, even posted on Parler a photo of the White House, claiming that he was invited there. The White House, however, claims that Tarrio only attended a public tour. As White House spokesman Judd Deere told The Daily Beast, “He was on a public WH Christmas tour. He did not have a meeting with the President nor did the WH invite him.”
Despite these protesters’ efforts, the Electoral College is still scheduled to vote on Monday, and the vote will make Biden’s victory official.
