Did you see this?

Project Esther appears to have rolled out.

news
A new White House directive lists "anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian" beliefs as indicators of "extremist violence." A presidential memorandum, "NSPM-7," published on September 25, directs the Secretaries of State, Homeland Security, and Treasury, as well as the Attorney General, to "coordinate and supervise a comprehensive national strategy to investigate, prosecute, and disrupt entities and individuals engaged in acts of political violence and intimidation designed to suppress lawful political activity or obstruct the rule of law."
Individuals and "entities" outlined in the memorandum include those who hold the following beliefs:
• anti-Americanism
• anti-capitalism
• anti-Christianity
• support for the overthrow of the U.S. government
• extremism on migration, race, or gender
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, or morality

Among other things, the coordination efforts among agencies includes AG Pam Bondi compiling a list of "any group or entity" that should be considered a "domestic terrorist" under the new guidelines, and working with local law enforcement.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

(1,3) My book Find The Helpers is ultimately a message of resilience and finding hope. The final paragraph says "to the future leaders and heroes, you will have many moments in your life, some bigger than others.

(1,2) I have often stated my belief that the Current Occupant of the White House lies about everything. Last night he posted this. He is either knowingly lying, senile, or both. HE WAS THE PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 6TH. Biden was still a private citizen.

Heartbroken by this news out of #SC this morning. Entire families and a community are forever changed by preventable gun violence. Let’s pray, and let’s also act.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Imagine (if that were the least bit true and) you were the President both then and now… and thinking: I should post that message, but not use proper channels to investigate and hold people accountable
