House passes
Sodom and Gomorrah marriage equality bill with religious freedom protections. How
did Utah reps vote?
Reps. John Curtis,
Blake Moore and Chris Stewart joined 39 GOP House members
and all 219 Democrats in
approving the legislation in a 258-169 vote. Rep. Burgess Owens voted present,
the only representative to do so. All four Utah congressmen voted for the bill
in the summer before the Senate added religious liberty protections.
Stewart said he
"proudly" voted for the bill in July and was proud again to vote in
favor of "protecting our LGBTQ and religious friends and neighbors."
"As a man of
faith and a conservative, ensuring the religious liberties of people in Utah is
absolutely essential. This bill not only guarantees that protection, but
simultaneously expands the rights of those in the LGBTQ community," he
said in a statement.
In addition, he
said same-sex marriage is already legal in the United States, and the Respect
for Marriage Act did not change that. It simply expands current religious
freedoms and LGBTQ civil rights, Stewart said.
The bill includes
amendments protecting religious rights that garnered the support of a number of
faith organizations, including the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which
called the approach "the way forward" while making it clear the
faith's "doctrine on marriage will remain unchanged."
Utah Sen. Mike Lee voted against the bill, after his attempt to bolster protections
for religious liberty in an amendment failed to garner the necessary 60 votes.

‘Mormon Land’: Our church is wrong on the Respect for LGBTQ Sodom and Gomorrah Marriage Act, say two well-known Orthodox members
Paul Mero and Stuart Reid argue apostle Dallin Oaks’ push for a balanced
approach to LGBTQ rights and religious freedom is off target, urge the faith to
stay out of the political culture wars.
When The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints announced its support of the Respect for Marriage Act,
which is designed to codify same-sex marriage while safeguarding religions from
embracing such unions in their policies and practices, many members, especially
LGBTQ allies, rejoiced.
Not all of the faithful,
however, agreed with the historic decision.
Paul Mero, former president of the conservative Sutherland
Institute think tank, for one, says the Utah-based faith’s backing of LGBTQ
rights in recent years led to this unwise and unnecessary move. And Stuart Reid, a former Army chaplain, state senator and
public affairs representative for the church, says it’s misguided to tacitly
endorse civil same-sex marriage when the practice is viewed doctrinally as an
“abomination” to God.
Both argue that the church
would be better off stepping away from politics and the nation’s culture wars.
On this week’s show, they
discuss why the church should have stayed on the sideline on this topic, how it
betrays Latter-day Saint teachings, how it confuses members and former allies,
why the approach from apostle Dallin Oaks, first counselor in the governing First
Presidency, advocating compromise on LGBTQ rights and religious liberties, is
ill-advised, and what the global faith of 16.8 million members should be doing instead.

House Passes Anti-Christian ‘Respect for Marriage Act,’ Sends Bill to Biden’s Desk
The House passed
the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” without strong religious liberty protections on Thursday,
sending the same-sex marriage bill to President Joe Biden’s desk for approval.
Kelly
Shackelford, president, CEO, and Chief Counsel for First Liberty Institute, warned that the law “lets radical activists harass
faith-based institutions in court because of their religious beliefs about
marriage.”
“No American
should be punished for holding a faith-based view on marriage, even if that
view conflicts with the government’s current preferred
definition. And, no American should change their religious
convictions about marriage just because a few politicians changed theirs,”
Shackelford said.

Salt Lake City is named Utah’s most ‘sinful city’
ABC NEWS - On Good Things Utah this morning – Did we just take the title
from Las Vegas? Utah’s capital city, Salt Lake City, has been recently revealed
as the Beehive state’s most sinful city thanks to a recent study published by
WalletHub. The study examined the top 150 most populated cities in the United
States, with at least the two most populated cities in each state. Salt Lake
City and West Valley City made the list. Even as Utah’s “most sinful city,”
Salt Lake City was still average on the list, ranking 93 out of 182 overall in
the nation. West Valley City was the fourth lowest on the list, ranking 179.
The study was conducted by analyzing each of the “Seven Deadly Sins.” 38
metrics were used across the seven categories of anger and hatred, jealousy,
excesses and vices, greed, lust, vanity, and laziness.

Woke Military
Threatens Mother Who Questioned LGBTQ School Indoctrination
Tucker Carlson highlighted a story Wednesday
concerning a New Jersey mother being told she is being “monitored” by local law
enforcement at the behest of military personnel who didn’t like her social
media posts questioning sexualisation of children in school.
Angela Reading alerted other parents of children in the North Hanover
Township Elementary School District that children from grade 4 up are being
encouraged to research topics of sexuality and create LGBTQ+ posters.
Suddenly, the concerned mom found herself the target of one Lieutenant
Colonel Christopher Shilling, who stated that the Joint Base (McGuire, Fort Dix
and Lakehurst) are looking into her posts and informing law enforcement.

Border Patrol
Agent KILLED In Incident With Illegals, White House Says NOTHING
A 38 year old Border Patrol agent has died
after a high speed chase with illegal immigrants on the border in Mission,
Texas resulted in a fatal crash.
Yet the Biden White House has said nothing about the incident, prompting
more accusations that the administration isn’t looking out for agents trying to
protect the border.
The
Washington Free Beacon reports that the unnamed agent, a father of two
children, came off a ATV after hitting a fence while in pursuit of illegal
crossers.
“The death of an
agent who died while securing our nation’s border is a tremendous loss for our
organization and our nation,” Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz said. “Our prayers
are with his family and coworkers during this difficult time.”
Fox reporter Bill
Melugin, who has been at the front lines on the border crisis for years now,
noted that the White House has said nothing about the incident.

- While a relatively
small percentage, it’s the largest share on record dating to 2004,

- Inflation has led

Trump on Griner-Merchant of Death Trade: “Stupid” and Unpatriotic Embarrassment for the USA!
President Donald Trump blasted his successor’s
prisoner swap with Russia Thursday, slamming the trade as a “stupid”
embarrassment for the country.
The 45th president and expert dealmaker criticized Biden’s trade of WNBA
player Brittney Griner for a dangerous arms dealer dubbed the “Merchant of
Death” as a “one-sided transaction.”
“What kind of a deal is it to swap Brittney Griner, a basketball player
who openly hates our Country, for the man known as ‘The Merchant of Death,’ who
is one of the biggest arms dealers anywhere in the World, and responsible for
tens of thousands of deaths and horrific injuries,” Trump questioned
on his social media platform Truth Social.
The Art of the Deal author went on to ask why the US didn’t
similarly work to free former Marine Paul Whelan who was imprisoned in Russia
on suspicions of spying.

Global central
banks racing to implement digital currencies as cities convert to ‘smart’
infrastructure: Track and control grid being erected right under our noses
The Central Bank
of Nigeria announced it will begin, effective in January, restricting cash
withdrawals from banks and ATMs to just $45 per day as part of a push to move
the country toward a cashless
economy.
in recent months
in China, India, Russia, Brazil, Sweden, the U.S. and many other nations, all
pointing to an imminent switch over to a global digital money system.
In the U.S., the
Federal Reserve put out an announcement in November that it is launching a
12-week “pilot program” to test out a new central bank digital currency, or
CBDC, with six major banks.
Thursday’s announcement
in Nigeria is also a big deal because Nigeria is one of only nine countries that have already launched an
official CBDC. That happened earlier this year, and now they are already moving
to restrict the use of cash. This proves that digital currencies were never
designed to function alongside paper currencies but rather to replace them.
