Article doesn't say - I'm just assuming this is a right wing thing (sure sounds like it)
=======================================================
An Illinois city is threatening to fine a church $750 per day unless it stops offering refuge to homeless people who are trying to escape the bitter cold, according to a nonprofit group and local news reports.
Overnight Warming Locations, a volunteer-run organization based in Illinois, said in a Facebook post that Edwardsville — which is about 25 miles northeast of St. Louis — “issued a citation to First Baptist Church for operating as an overnight warming location.”
In the post, the group shared a Jan. 10 letter addressed to Edwardsville Mayor Art Risavy, saying the church has stepped up in the winters to offer shelter and refuge to people who do not have shelter from the cold
The group demanded that the city drop its threats.
“As leadership and community members, we request cooperation among city leadership, not threats of shutting down a solution that can save lives and and meets an actual need in our community,” the letter said.
Edwardsville has been experiencing plummeting temperatures in recent days, the group wrote on Facebook.
“The temperature has plunged over 30 degrees since the afternoon,” the group wrote on Saturday. “And tomorrow, we could hit -5 with a windchill of almost -20.”
The 10-day weather forecast for Edwardsville this week predicts that temperatures will hover in the low to high teens. Wind chill advisories are in effect for parts of Illinois, with bitter winds and flurries hovering............

Refuse to sell or provide services to people who are any of LGBTQIA+, that's an individual religious/church right and hands off government.
Prevent people who are any of LGBTQIA+ from getting married, that's an individual religious/church right and hands off government.
Give people without shelter refuge in your church so they don't freeze to death, the government needs to shut that BS down muy pronto.

Umm..she's the under secretary of state specifically specializing in Ukrainian affairs. I believe she was the target of that leak that right wing conspiracies used as example of a US coup. And she testified against trump.
So go figure. Work against putin and testified against trump....
Evidently my CIA overlords are slipping up in my secret briefings, lol.

"I often wonder what encourages people to be a Democrat, because I don't see a lot of kindness"
Yes, today's GOP is well known to be the party of kindness
Love that this store is in an old church
These people are not and will not vote for anyone other than Trump

A noted conservative author and former professor of national security affairs is laying waste to the media narrative that Donald Trump’s MAGA followers are America’s “forgotten” people, concluding instead that they, just like their leader, are in it for revenge.
“Trump wants payback,” writes The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols, “so do millions of voters who have no one to blame for their sense of humiliation but themselves.”
“Trump and his right-wing media courtiers—who tend to the anger of the older, white middle class the way florists lovingly raise orchids—fed the GOP base a continual stream of rage, especially as Trump started to pile up electoral defeats,” writes Nichols, who has a PhD from Georgetown and taught for 25 years at the U.S. Naval War College. “These voters now want to get even with their fellow citizens not for what’s been done to Trump but for what they feel has been done to them. They were certain that 2016 would finally bring them the recognition and respect they craved. Instead, Trump set them up for a steady diet of ego-bruising rebukes from other voters.”
Nichols also points to a piece by another writer at The Atlantic, McKay Coppins, who “attended a Trump rally in Iowa earlier this month, where he spoke with a nice lady named Kris.”
Kris is “a 71-year-old retired nurse in orthopedic sneakers,” Coppins wrote. She “was smiley and spoke in a sweet, grandmotherly voice as she told me how she’d watched dozens of Trump rallies, streaming them on Rumble or FrankSpeech, a platform launched by the right-wing MyPillow founder Mike Lindell.”
Asked if Trump should still be president, Kris told Coppins, “By all means.”
“And I think behind the scenes he maybe is doing a little more than what we know about,” Kris said.
Asked, “What do you mean?” Kris said, “Military-wise.”
“The military is supposed to be for the people, against tyrannical governments,” she explained. “I hope he’s guiding the military to be able to step in and do what they need to do. Because right now, I’d say government’s very tyrannical.”
Coppins added: “If the Democrats try to steal the election again in 2024, she told me, the Trump-sympathetic elements of the military might need to seize control.”
Nichols asks, “What can turn an ordinary person—a father, the pleasant older lady who lives down the street—into the family powder keg, or even a deluded seditionist who hopes the U.S. military will seize control of the country?”
He says, the “usual answer, when Trump ran the first time, was that these were ‘forgotten’ voters, people ‘left behind’ by globalization and a leftist political culture, who were hurling out a giant primal yawp of opposition.”
Nichols blames the media and politicians for that false narrative that has driven so much of American politics since Trump came down the escalator in June of 2015.
“These were never empirically sustainable explanations, but empathetic reporters and deeply concerned politicians went on listening tours to diners and gas stations anyway. When ordinary Americans would say shocking, indecent, and un-American things, their flummoxed interlocutors remained steadfast in the belief that more listening and more empathetic nodding would put things right in a few years.”
He also chastises MAGA voters for the “alternate reality” they’ve constructed to explain the strings of losses they’ve had to endure, “including the 2018 Democratic-wave election, Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, and the ‘red wave’ that never happened in 2022.”
Antiracism educator Tim Wise responded to Nichol’s piece, writing: “Exactly correct. The media refuses to admit it but the MAGA faithful are mean, vengeful people. Not decent, misunderstood, and ‘left behind’ people, but folks who are not decent.”.............

Jason Whitlock vs Stephen A. Smith
I don't like Stephen A. never have, but I'd take him over Whitlock any day of the week
=====================
Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back during the latest edition of his show, hitting out at conservative commentator and former ESPN colleague Jason Whitlock.
Smith said he was ‘breaking his silence’ after holding his tongue for “at least nine to 10 years” on Whitlock, who he has now described as being “worse than a white supremacist”.
What’s the reason for Smith’s criticism? Well, the new comments come after Whitlock questioned the authenticity of Smith’s book Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes which was released last year.
Whitlock previously appeared to suggest that Smith had written falsehoods in his book. He also previously cited Katt Williams' appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast when claiming that Smith was an industry plant.
Whitlock also wrote a column on the right-wing site The Blaze titled "Does Katt Williams’ interview expose Stephen A. Smith as a fraud?".
Saying he believed it was "necessary" to speak about Whitlock, Smith went on a blistering rant about the controversial figure, who previously attracted criticism by comparing Black Lives Matter to the Ku Klux Klan and touting baseless conspiracy theories about Michelle Obama being trans........
