After a church in Chattanooga was burned to the ground last week, several others in the state have received “concerning” letters, according to one county sheriff’s office. “The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports of a very concerning letter being left on the front door of several local churches, a Masonic lodge, and at least one business,” the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. “The letters did not speak about any direct threats, but it is being taken incredibly seriously because of the disturbing content. Because of the ongoing investigation, we are unable to provide any more details about the contents of…

A “Student Resources” page on the website of the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) directs pre-teens to LGBT sources of information and support. “These resources are provided to assist in the support of LGBTQ students in our schools and communities,” according to the ADE. “They were collected by members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community as part of ADE’s Equitable and Inclusive Practices Advisory Council.” One of those resources is called Gender Spectrum, which focuses on transgender pre-teens. “Join our online pre-teen group for transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive pre-teens,” the Gender Spectrum website says, adding that the group is for children aged…

A U.S. senator Friday spoke out against the “woke” policies implemented by the military, which has become especially apparent during LGBT Pride Month of June. “The United States military should be focused on one objective – creating the most lethal fighting force on planet Earth,” Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) told The Tennessee Star. “Instead, Joe Biden’s military leaders are secretly attempting to turn our brave warfighters into social justice warriors. Communist China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea do not care how woke our military is or what our soldiers’ pronouns are.“ She echoed a similar sentiment on Twitter. “The Biden Defense Department…

On the 10th anniversary of the implementation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a law that gives illegal aliens who were brought to America as children immunity from deportation, Arizona’s Democrats are calling for a permanent solution. Today marks the 10th anniversary of #DACA, Representative Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-03) tweeted. “It’s a reminder that we have a moral obligation to protect Dreamers in AZ and across the nation.

A program announced earlier this year that will provide universal basic income (UBI) for black women in Atlanta has begun, according to a Tuesday report. The program, which is being piloted by a nonprofit called the Georgia Resilience and Opportunity Fund (GRO), is called “In Her Hands.” “In Her Hands is a guaranteed income initiative focused on putting a solution to financial insecurity directly in the hands of women in Georgia. No strings attached,” according to the group’s website. According to GRO: The gap between dwindling paychecks and making ends meet for Black women has historically been larger and deeper than most other populations. Though…

Ohio’s Constitutional Carry law, signed by Governor Mike DeWine (R) in March, took effect Monday. The law allows Ohioans to carry concealed firearms without a permit, making the Buckeye State the 23rd state in the union to implement such laws. Still, Ohio’s attorney general is urging citizens to use caution and get trained before carrying a firearm. “Just because you’re not legally required to get training doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea,” Attorney General Dave Yost (R) said in a press release. “Using a firearm is not instinct, and watching TV shows is not training. Ohioans should learn how to handle their…

The governor of Florida Monday signed a bill into law that bans Floridians from protesting outside of private residences. “Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate,” Governor Ron DeSantis said just before signing HB 1571 into law. “This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law.” The bill was written, passed and signed after swaths of angry activists showed up at the D.C.-area homes of Supreme Court justices in protest of the potential reversal of…

As computer giant Apple considers bringing employees back to work in person while the COVID-19 pandemic winds down, some of those employees are worried that returning to work in person will make the company less diverse. “Apple will likely always find people willing to work here, but our current policies requiring everyone to relocate to the office their team happens to be based in, and being in the office at least 3 fixed days of the week, will change the makeup of our workforce,” said an open letter written by employees. “It will make Apple younger, whiter, more male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied, in…

A former United States Marine from Tennessee has reportedly been killed while fighting alongside Ukrainian soldiers in that country’s war against Russia. Willy Joseph Cancel, 22, worked for a military contractor who sent him to fight in Ukraine, according to his mother Rebecca Cabrera. He was killed Monday. “He wanted to go over because he believed in what Ukraine was fighting for, and he wanted to be a part of it to contain it there so it didn’t come here, and that maybe our American soldiers wouldn’t have to be involved in it,” Cabrera said. According to Cabrera, Cancel’s body has not…

A member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona has introduced a bill that would ban those residing in the United States from sending money back to Mexico. “The President shall prohibit the transmission of remittances from the United States to Mexico,” says the text of HR 7380, written and introduced by Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ-04). Often when illegal aliens find work in the United States, they send money back to their family members in Mexico. That is how remittances are defined. Under the bill, the ban on remittances would last until such a time as a border wall is…
