DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - A conservative journalist, banned on Twitter for criticizing an Islamic congresswoman, is threatening to file a lawsuit.
Laura Loomer, an investigative journalist, was banned by Twitter on November 21 after commenting that Minnesota Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar is a radical islamist who supports female genital mutilation (FGM), the oppression and killing of homosexuals and women, and hatred of Jews.
She threatened on Friday to sue the social media giant for suppressing her right to free speech.

 
Omar is the one of the Left's newest darlings because she is the first congresswoman who is a Somali refugee and who speaks openly about being a devout Muslim. Leading up the the November midterm elections she softened her rhetoric regarding the state of Israel, but after elections she came out in support of sanctions against Israel, causing her Jewish constituents to feel betrayed.
The ban on Loomer, however, is not an isolated incident. It's merely a further indication that Twitter and other social media websites like Facebook are cracking down on discussion that goes against leftist ideology.
On Sunday Twitter announced "misgendering or deadnaming" a so-called transgender person will earn the purpetrator a permanent ban, meaning individuals cannot describe a transgender by a gender they don't prefer or by using their old name.
Twitter stated, "We recognize that if people experience abuse on Twitter, it can jeopardize their ability to express themselves."
The company also banned fellow liberal feminist Meghan Murphy for stating that "men aren't women" in a discussion involving transgender ideology, noting its updated rule.
Jack Dorsey, Twitter's CEO, revealed in September that even his own more conservative-leaning employees "don't feel safe to express their opinions at the company," adding that they "feel silenced by just the general swirl of what they perceive to be the broader percentage of leanings within the company." He noted that he didn't think it "fair or right" but also admitted Twitter is "more left-leaning."

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles, Wilfred Hahn Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Reviewing the “facts” that we cited in Part 1, we noted the hyperbole and downright dishonesty in some instances to support global warming claims. Why is there such bias? Money Precedes Truth Global warming has become big business. Armies of global consultants are peddling false information because it is profitable to do so. Many claimed urgencies are exaggerated by factors of 10X … indeed, 200X in some instances and more. Governments are particularly susceptible to this hype, promising infrastructure programs estimated to cost upwards of trillions of dollars. According to a new report,1 an estimated $3.4 trillion will be invested in renewable energy during the next decade, including $2.72 trillion in wind and solar. By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (including hydropo

9-16-23 It Is Coming

It Is Coming :: By Daymond Duck Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this coming, and
