Kirk Cameron says men ‘pretending to be women’ protested his children’s book reading, progressive pastor describes Christian-themed event as ‘scarier than I had even imagined’

March 19, 2023 by Paul Sacca Leave a Comment

About 500 people attended Kirk Cameron’s book-reading event for children in Fayetteville, Alabama. While most in attendance were parents, grandparents, and children, there were also drag queens protesting a children’s book that fosters Christian and conservative values.

Cameron is currently on a national library tour where he reads his Christian-themed children’s book “As You Grow” – which teaches “Biblical truths of the Fruit of the Spirit.” The book’s publisher, Brave Books, organized the “Freedom Island Book” tour as a wholesome alternative to drag queen story hour events and to “stand up for truth and Biblical values.”

Brave Books said in December that more than 50 libraries rejected proposals for Cameron to do book readings despite the same libraries sponsoring drag queen story hours.

On Friday, Cameron did a book reading at the Fayetteville Public Library.

An overwhelming majority of attendees were supportive of Cameron and his book, like Mandy Brooks.

“We love Christ. We love Jesus and we just wanted to come help promote this. We love these Brave Books and we just love our country. So, we just wanted to come here and be part of what he’s doing,” Brooks told KFSM-TV.

There were also protesters, including pastor Clint Schneckloth of the progressive Good Shepherd Lutheran Church that practices “full inclusion of the LGBTQ community in the life of the church” and defends specific communities, such as “black lives matter, the transgender network, Latinx, refugees, immigrants.”

Schneckloth described the event as “overwhelming and far weirder and scarier than I had even imagined it would be.” He claimed that the book reading was “indoctrination” and “propaganda.” The progressive pastor held up a sign that read: “Is cashing in on ‘Christian’ hate a fruit of the spirit?”

“They had the group sing the national anthem and say the pledge and the loudest applause throughout the event was for nationalist/patriotic stuff even more than the Christian crap,” Schneckloth wrote on Facebook.

Also protesting the children’s event was the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence of the Arkansas Chapter of Hillbilly Harlots – a “group of queer nuns with a mission to spread love, light, and joy through education, awareness, and support for the LGBTQ community.”

A member of the drag queen group was accused of stepping on a “poor, tiny white girl” and hitting her with a cane.

The Post Millennial reported, “Drag queen Patty Johnson was there as well, saying that Cameron reading to kids was ‘what indoctrinating looks like,’ and mocking the kids as ‘a bunch of home-schooled children being sold a ‘freedom’ line of baloney when they are actually saying vote for more of your freedoms to be taken away because, communism and cancel culture are SO bad… so come Buy Our Books, capitalism is good of course!'”

Cameron labeled the disruptors as a “small group of protesters, which included some grown men wearing silly makeup, dressed in skirts and heels, pretending to be women.”

Brave Books chief of staff Zac Bell said, “In coming to Fayetteville, Arkansas we expected to get a ton of supportive Christian and conservative families to show up. What we did not expect was for a group of drag queens and activists to attend and walk up and down the event giving the children in attendance the creeps.”

Fellow Brave Books author Chaya Raichik – who runs the @LibsOfTikTok account – was forced to cancel her book reading event in New York City due to safety concerns.

“We have received threats of potentially inappropriate and unsafe behavior at the NYC story hour with Chaya Raichik on Sunday,” Brave Books announced on Friday.

Sharks player refuses to wear LGBTQ-themed jersey because of his Christian faith, furious hockey writers lash out: ‘Absolutely a homophobe’

March 18, 2023 by Paul Sacca Leave a Comment

An NHL player is facing backlash after refusing to wear an LGBTQ-themed jersey during Pride Night.

The San Jose Sharks hosted a Pride Night at the SAP Center during Saturday’s hockey game against the New York Islanders.

The Sharks announced that instead of “normal game content,” the professional hockey team would “offer information and facts about LGBTQIA+ topics.”

“Our hope is that this content will serve as a reminder that there are issues more important than goals, highlights, and wins,” the Sharks said.

“Hockey is not for everyone until everyone is comfortable playing, working, or being a fan of this incredible game,” the NHL team claimed.

The arena sold “Rainbow Roll” sushi rolls, rainbow popcorn, Pride-themed cocktails, Pride souvenir cups, and Pride t-shirts. The arena also featured “Pride-themed lighting” and “themed music throughout the night.”

The Sharks asked its players to wear an LGBTQ-themed jersey during the warm-ups before the game.

“During pregame warm-ups, Sharks players will wear jerseys with crest and patch artwork specific for Sharks Pride Night and designed by local artist Houyee Chow, a queer, biracial, multidisciplinary artist, and educator from San Jose,” the Sharks said.

The jersey featured the Sharks mascot painted pink inside of a heart with hockey sticks covered in tape with the colors of the rainbow LGBTQ flag, the progressive flag, and the transgender flag, along with the word “love.”

Sharks goalie James Reimer refused to wear the pride-themed jersey because of his religious beliefs.

“For all 13 years of my NHL career, I have been a Christian — not just in title, but in how I choose to live my life daily,” Reimer said in a statement. “I have a personal faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins and, in response, asks me to love everyone and follow him.”

“I have no hate in my heart for anyone, and I have always strived to treat everyone that I encounter with respect and kindness,” Reimer explained.

“In this specific instance, I am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions which are based on the Bible, the highest authority in my life,” the Sharks goalie concluded.

The Sharks issued their own statement on the situation.

“As we promote these standards, we also acknowledge and accept the rights of individuals to express themselves, including how or whether they choose to express their beliefs, regardless of the cause or topic,” the Sharks said. “As an organization, we will not waver in our support of the LGBTQIA+ community and continue to encourage others to engage in active allyship.”

Reimer was attacked online for opting not to wear the Pride Night jersey.

A hockey writer claimed that Reimer “looked like a clown” for his faith-based decision.

Another hockey writer vilified Reimer as “absolutely a homophobe.” The writer also alleged, “Here’s also what I believe, Jesus would unequivocally love and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. He’d be the first to wear a rainbow.”

A sports writer called the Sharks a “trash organization” for “even putting out this hateful statement,” and added that Reimer is “hiding behind the Bible to refuse to endorse gay people having rights and existing.”

A writer of a newsletter about sexism in sports lashed out at Reimer, “Under the umbrella of disingenuous bulls**t, you can f*** right off with this statement. If you truly believed the queer community is welcome in hockey, you’d wear the shirt. You do not get to have it both ways. Jesus is not impressed.”

Reimer joins fellow NHL player Ivan Provorov in declining to wear an LGBTQ-themed jersey during warm-ups. In January, Provorov refused to wear an LGBTQ-themed hockey jersey because it clashed with his Russian Orthodox religion.

Also in January, the New York Rangers nixed wearing rainbow-colored Pride jerseys before their game.

Dylan Mulvaney can’t find a date

March 17, 2023 by BlazeTV Staff Leave a Comment

Dylan Mulvaney has taken to TikTok yet again, this time to ask the world why he can’t find a date.

YouTuber and host of BlazeTV’s “Pseudo-Intellectual” Lauren Chen breaks it down, though the answer itself is quite clear.

What seems obvious to most of us is a mystery to those intent on mainstreaming delusion.

Not too long ago, as Dylan posted his “Day 335” of being a girl and flaunted his new face — post facial feminization surgery. He claimed that he was “hot” enough to “steal a husband.”

He then most recently told his audience on Valentine’s Day that he still has not been kissed yet as a “girl” — which, despite clear creepiness surrounding the idea that a grown man is referring to himself as a female child, he continues to call himself.

Chen says, “I guess it’s not that easy to actually get your own man, let alone steal someone else’s.”

She adds, after watching his Valentine’s video, “In this particular video, I think there’s a pretty apparent five o’clock shadow. Which just goes to show that no, you can’t surgery your way into womanhood.”

She goes on to explain that it’s ridiculous how blind so many are to a man getting attention for doing the bare minimum as a “woman,” which is simply being a woman — and he’s not even actually doing that.

“He’s gotten viral fame, brand deals from brands like Tampax or some tampon thing, he’s met Joe Biden, he’s gone to, I think, the Met Gala and the Grammys. He’s basically ‘Woman of the Year’ if you ask the left.”

She continues, “If you are a biological woman, there’s absolutely zero chance that he would have gotten the fame, the money, and the kudos, the adoration that he has. I mean basically all he does is act like a stereotype of the worst versions of women out there.”

However, while Dylan has received quite a lot of attention for his journey to “girlhood,” he still can’t find a date.

Chen chalks this up to “all of the people who maybe are telling him that he looks so great and he’s a woman, just like anyone else is, perhaps that doesn’t translate into real life and to specifically, the dating pool.”

Yes, to expect everyone else to be as deluded as you is a tall order.

She adds that if she were Dylan’s family member or friend, she would have told him what Matt Walsh, host at “The Daily Wire,” said about Mulvaney that left him open to wide-stream criticism.

She says she would say, “This is going to be weird, okay. You’re not going to fully be a woman. You never will be. And the idea that you know, there’s a man who’s going to look at you the same way he would a biological woman, that’s never going to happen.”

Perhaps it’s time, she quips, for the left to put its money where its mouth is and slide into Dylan’s DMs.

Sacramento Bee Apologizes for Saying Charlie Kirk Called to ‘Lynch’ Transgenders

March 15, 2023 by Paul Bois Leave a Comment

The Sacramento Bee, a Northern California-based newspaper, has apologized for falsely claiming that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk called to “lynch” transgenders.

Charlie Kirk had been scheduled to speak at the University of California Davis on Tuesday when Sacramento Bee opinion writer Hannah Holzer called the activist “another fascist” and said that he wanted to lynch transgender people.

“Among his most atrocious comments, Kirk suggested transgender people, who he has referred to as ‘garbage,’ ought to be lynched,” Holzer wrote.

Holzer also called Kirk a “vocal transphobe and Donald Trump fanatic” who has “turned controversy into money for years.”

Holzer based her opinion on an out-of-context clip from Charlie Kirk’s show in which he said that the fact of transgenders changing in a woman’s locker room needs to be taken care of “the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and 60s.”

The Bee further pushed Holzer’s claims on its social media pages when it tweeted, “Charlie Kirk has called for the lynching of trans people, a comment that should warrant the cancellation of his speaking engagement at UC Davis.”

Kirk said he never called for the lynching of transgenders and threatened to sue the newspaper for libel.

“This is defamation and libel. We will sue unless it is corrected,” Kirk tweeted. “Left-wing rags like the SacBee are allowed to platform lies against conservatives and get away with it. Time for lawfare.” He added:

“I NEVER once used the word ‘lynching’ nor did it even cross my mind. In fact, I called specifically for PEACE, but they don’t want you to see that part,” he concluded.

After Kirk threatened to sue, the Sacramento Bee eliminated the “lynching” line and switched the headline to say “far-right” instead of fascist:

The Bee continued:

The newspaper further used Kirk’s entire quote and said, “Some trans activists wondered if Kirk was referring to potential violence associated with mid-century America, but he strongly denied this on Twitter.”

VIRAL Dylan Mulvaney and Drew Barrymore Clip Shows EXACTLY What’s Wrong in Our Culture

March 15, 2023 by BlazeTV Staff Leave a Comment

Just when it seems like the left can’t be anymore cringeworthy, embarrassing, and absolutely delusional, they show us just how much worse it can get.

Dylan Mulvaney, the man who skyrocketed to stardom for posting TikToks of his journey to “girlhood” recently underwent facial feminization surgery, and his new face has earned him additional worship from the left. Literally.

In a creepy appearance on Drew Barrymore’s show, the two give a vomit-inducing performance that ends with Barrymore on her knees, staring up dreamily at the self-proclaimed “girl.”

Sara Gonzales rips into him and his latest performative appearance on “The News & Why It Matters,” calling him a “mentally ill man who dresses up like a female and calls vaginas Barbie pouches.”

She continues, “He went on the Drew Barrymore show to talk all things trans, and it just somehow kept getting worse.”

The clip from the show starts with Barrymore asking Mulvaney how he deals with the negativity.

He responds, “I still read the comments, but there’s so much hatred directed to the trans community right now, it’s everywhere, and I think the greatest weapon that I can contribute is trans joy and comedy and talking about hard subjects and really intricate moments of a transition and try to let everybody in to see that, you know, I’m not a monster.”

Gonzales interjects, “Speaking of things you’re not.”

The pair continue salivating over each other. Drew even gets out of her chair and falls to her knees in front of Mulvaney, where he tells her he can’t imagine anyone disliking her. She responds, “Do you want to know ironically who dislikes me the most sometimes? Myself.”

They awkwardly hug while she remains on her knees, and it might be the worst moment on television we’ve seen in a long time.

Gonzales says she would “be very happy to sacrifice [her] own vote in order to get rid of all the crazy liberal white women’s votes,” like Drew’s.

She continues, “Get off the floor, Drew, your goofy ass is embarrassing the rest of us. Welcome to the program, to members of the great patriarchy that we are here to serve.”

According to the left, fighting the patriarchy is best done while worshiping men who dress up as women.

Make it make sense, because we can’t.
