We Are NOT A Christian Nation

We Are NOT A Christian Nation

Never once is Jesus Christ or Christianity mentioned in the Declaration of Independence or the US Constitution.

Furthermore, the First Amendment prohibits the government from establishing a national religion or prohibiting the equal recognition / exercise of all religions.

It wasn’t until the mid 50’s that “Under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance and “In God We Trust” was added to US currency.

But like a cancer, Christian Nationalists have clawed and crawled their way into unduly influencing policy and public opinion.

One recent example is the state of Texas now mandating that Biblical stories become mandatory reading in all public schools in the state. Religious texts from any other faith have never been approved for such a requirement anywhere in the USA.

In his 4th of July speech, Trump recently lied when he stated “And as our Declaration of Independence tells us, we are all made in the image of one almighty God. And a Communist will never say that. That’s for sure.”

White Christian Nationalists and Fascists are so afraid of Communism, they will drag us into the mire of a Theocracy much the same way that Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Afghanistan (to name a few) strangle their population in the clutches of Sharia law.

Don’t believe me? Around 10 states have already adopted forced birth, even in cases of rape and incest, going so far as to use legally dead women as incubators for babies.

Pete Hegseth’s religious mentor, Doug Wilson, believes the 19th Amendment should be repealed and that women should not have the right to vote independently of their husbands.

Multiple states fight vehemently against laws that would make the minimum age to marry 18 years old.

“THE CROSS being raised over the city, the region, Symbolically declaring the city, region, state, nation belongs to JESUS.” No “Pastor” Greg Fairrington, this city, region, state, nation DO NOT belong to Jesus. Your tacky drone show does not speak for tens of thousands in Placer County or tens of millions across this Nation.

Christianity can be a beautiful thing when practiced by decent human beings.

However, it was so-called Christians who ran the slave trade for generations.

It was so-called Christians who kidnapped Indigenous children and abused them in residential schools.

It was so-called Christians who burned Black Wall Street to the ground, ran Japanese Concentration Camps on US soil, and turned the MS St. Louis away with 937 Jewish refugees aboard during WWII.

And it was so-called Christians who never held those oppressors, child abusers and murderers to atone for their crimes against humanity.

Selective history is the tool of the coward and the villain. Theocracy is the weapon of evil men seeking power and subjugation.

The United States of America is a SECULAR NATION and has been since its founding.

It is quite literally unAmerican to suggest the US is a “Christian Nation” and millions of actual Patriots will fight to keep it Secular.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA 🎉

Tonight is the night for all things pop, crackle and sparkly!

So what’s the best way to stay safe while setting off your assortment of pyrotechnics?

Here’s a few tips:

💥 Have a hose, fire extinguisher or buckets of water ready incase anything goes awry.

💥 Have ear protection ready for babies, very young children and folks with sensory concerns.

💥 Set up all fireworks on a clear, level surface to avoid them tipping over.

💥 Use a lighter with a long tip or long matchsticks (think fireplace, not cigarette).

💥 Do NOT allow children to handle, light, or wander around fireworks unsupervised.

💥 If a firework doesn’t go off, do NOT pick it up, poke it or kick it. Do NOT attempt to light it again. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then douse it with water, let it sit some more, then submerge it fully over night and throw it away.

💥 Accidents happen, so have a First Aid kit ready with bandages and burn ointment just incase.

💥 Have a large receptacle (bucket, trash can, rubbermaid container) filled with water. After the show, spray all the spent fireworks down with water, carefully collect them and dump them into the water-filled container. Let them soak overnight before throwing them away the next day.

Fireworks are a lot of fun, but they can cause injuries and damage if not handled responsibly.

❗️REMINDER❗️
ALL non-“Safe & Sane” fireworks are illegal for personal use in Placer County.

“Safe & Sane” fireworks are only legal to use within the incorporated city limits of LIncoln, Rocklin and Roseville.

ALL fireworks are illegal in unincorporated Placer County, which includes the “Safe & Sane” variety.

Please, DO NOT risk your community by engaging in fire-hazards just because you want to blow s*** up.

Have Fun & Be Safe #PlacerCounty

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

💥BUYER BEWARE💥

Fireworks stands are opening up today and there are many that support worthwhile causes. These stands will be open and honest with customers of exactly how much is going to the charities or organizations they support.

The Oliver’s Family Church does NOT do this. They have run as many a 6 stands a year, taking spots and opportunities away from legitimate local causes.

According to Siobhan Oliver’s testimony under oath, they have been running these stands for 26 years.

Never once have they publicly disclosed how much money they have taken in or how much has gone to the organizations they list every year.

Only once has an amount been mentioned, which was done by a Family Church Board member, during a live-streamed service.

“$250,000 easy”

When I have asked if the church will open its books and share where the money goes, I was told by an Oliver representative to “get a court order.”

Even their website is totally ambiguous, not once mentioning any affiliation with The Family Church or any organization. This was brought to my attention 2 years ago when a community member contacted me after they purchased fireworks through the website, and the charge cleared their account as “The Family Church.”

https://www.thefireworkssupercenter.com

Lack of transparency is Matthew Olivers calling card. So buyer beware, my friends. #MOthePlacerBully is ready to take your money and provide no answers in return.

You Will Know Them By Their Fruits

We all bear the weight of what we say and what we allow. I take great care in making sure this page does not promote violence, dehumanize innocent people, or target historically disenfranchised communities.

Matthew Oliver cannot say the same. A “Pastor” who allows bigotry to flourish rather than confronting it head-on is no follower of the teachings of Christ. And so, on Sundays, this page will remind the community of what #MOthePlacerBully has created room for on his platform.

These posts will not serve as a center for discussion, nor will they be a forum to espouse anger towards anyone.

These posts are to keep #PlacerCounty informed of who one of their Republican Party representatives truly is and what he promotes.

📣 PROGRESSIVES of PLACER COUNTY!

To all my friends in the Progressive movement, the winds of change are sweeping across the USA.

For too many generations, the most empathetic and impassioned part of the Liberal community has been politely forced into accepting the decisions and politicians approved by the DNC and establishment Democrats.

Now is the time that we demand something better!

Now is the time that we say the “lesser of two evils” isn’t an acceptable solution!

Democratic Socialism is proving to not only be a solid political alternative, its ideas are being successfully implemented by local and national politicians across the country.

The DSA is growing!

For years, Democratic Socialists like Bernie Sanders have fought for the working class, the poor, the marginalized and the historically abused. Support for that fight not only extends across the aisle, it has shifted the Democratic base itself.

But not enough.

While many local Democratic groups are fully supporting Progressive agendas, the DNC itself is riddled with obligations to stagnant, elitist interests.

It’s time to prioritize people over profits!

If you want to see what a truly Progressive movement holds as its priority, please attend this meeting of the Central Sierra Foothills Democratic Socialists of America.

The DSA is here to fight for the equity and prosperity that all Americans deserve.

➡️ Monday, June 29th
➡️ 6:30 - 8:30
➡️ Briar Patch Food Co-Op (Conference Room)
➡️ 2505 Bell Rd - Auburn

Our GOP isn’t Anti-Racist

Placer County has a racism problem. And unsurprisingly, it thrives in Conservative circles.

For years, Charlie Simons personally platformed a majority of local Republican elected officials within the county. School board trustees, town and city council members, county supervisors, as well as Joe Patterson and Kevin Kiley.

Simons also repeatedly and regularly compared POC, especially women, to animals.

Want to know how many of those taxpayer-funded “representatives” called out Simons on his blatant racism?

Zero.

Never once have I seen a single Placer County “leader” say “hey Charlie, that’s really not ok.” And y’all know I keep receipts.

Simons used to be big on Facebook, but now only exists on Rumble, where certain Loomis and Lincoln elected officials still appear on his show. While Simons is now banned from Facebook, racism is not.

Just this week, Shaundra Olson turned her ever-blind eye towards multiple racist things in her group that bears the name of our county. And while I maintain that that “chit chat” group is not representative of Placer, it shows us a problem.

In a county with a Republican majority, racism is left space to thrive.

Olson may say “well those aren’t MY beliefs.” Doesn’t matter. We are what we say AND what we allow.

If I allowed people to disparage faith or race or gender, I would have to own what I made space for on my platform. The same goes for Shaundra Olson, Matthew Oliver and Mark Wright, the Chair of the Placer County Republican Party.

Accountability matters.

People who are silent in the face of racism are no better than those who practice racism. And saying nothing when one’s friends or peers espouse racism is silence.

Placer County has a racism problem.

The only way to address it is to call it out.

Loudly.

Repeatedly.

Unapologetically.

#PlacerCounty deserves better.

Racism in the USA

Racism is so powerful in the United States, the reaction to 8 prosperous years of a Black Presidency was to elect the most inept, hateful, corrupt pervert this country has ever known.

Racism is so demented, that after 8 years of seeing our country’s leader as a intelligent, doting and dedicated Black father, bigots chose a White nepo-baby sexual predator who lusts after his own daughter while he keeps traffickers and pedophiles in his closest circles.

Racism is so ignorant, it spewes lies about an intelligent, highly educated, accomplished Black mother and First Lady, but it lauded a White third-wife and gold-digger who got an Einstein Visa for nude modeling.

Racism is so hateful, it labelled a celebrated scholar, husband and father as a an “Islamic extremist,” yet it sees a draft-dodging, contractor-cheating, serial adulterer as an ideal Conservative Christian.

I’m old enough to remember the nooses and effigies, the birther bs, the 10+ actual assassination attempts, all designed to intimidate and stop President Obama.

Through it all, the Obama family has shown more class, grace and courage than anyone residing in Trump’s swamp of lies and corruption.

It’s not enough to ignore racism or say “oh that’s bad” and then move on.

You need to call it out.

Loudly.

Repeatedly.

Unapologetically.

Because our kids are old enough to remember exactly what we do in these moments.

They’ll remember their parents being racist.

They’ll remember their parents ignoring racism.

And they’ll damn sure remember their parents confronting racist bullshit.

What will be your impact?

What will be your legacy?

Mine will be showing my son that we had an amazing Black first family leading this country for 8 years of prosperity and growth. And not a day goes by where I don’t feel pride in casting my votes to put that joyous Black family in the White House for two meaningful terms, through the successes and the faults. For 8 years, the United States showed the world what leadership could be when it wasn’t led by bias or bigotry.

In this space, we call out hate.

We call out bigotry.

We call out racism.

In this space, we say #FuckFascism

We say #IllegitimiNonCarborundum

We say #LoveWins

Grifters Gonna Grift

Riley Gaines, the sore loser who made a TERF career out of tantruming over a 5th place tie with Lia Thomas, was recently caught having her “sincerely held” beliefs explained to her by her latest endorsement partners.

Yes, that’s super embarrassing, but anyone who has followed her story is not at all surprised that she has the depth of a deflated kiddie pool.

What’s funny to me is that Gaines was the headliner at the “2024 Freedom Gala” for The American Council. As in she was the attraction to fill the coffers that funded the fundies who now wreak havoc on our school boards and city councils.

This truly does speak to the integrity, or lack thereof, of the MAGA / GOPvangelical movement.

You can see Gaines grifting faux-pas at the link below:

Can you trust a liar?

Hey Ashley Zavala,

Next time you interview Bill Essayli about alleged election fraud, ask him about the time he lied about the signature gathering for the Protect Kids CA ballot initiative. Bill claimed they were “over halfway to getting enough signatures to put our @ProtectKidsCA initiative on the November ballot.”

Yet 8 days after Bill’s statement, Jonathan Zacherson, the man responsible for the initiative, declared under penalty of perjury “at least 25 percent of the number of signatures required to qualify the measure for the ballot has been obtained.”

According to section 9034 of the California Election Code: “9034. (a) The proponents of a proposed initiative measure shall submit a certification, signed under penalty of perjury, to the Secretary of State immediately upon the collection of 25 percent of the number of signatures needed to qualify the initiative measure for the ballot.”

But yeah, I’m sure Bill Essayli is totally not lying now.

Roseville, y’all are in trouble!

We’ve all seen the damage that #MomsForLiberty candidates have done on our school boards.

Outing Queer children to abusive parents.

Banning great Science curriculum for no good reason.

Cancelling Ethnic Studies classes after students are already enrolled.

And don’t forget the mountains of taxpayer funds they’ve lit ablaze with the litigation they have caused in districts throughout Placer County.

But now?

One of the actual Heathers for Hitler is running for Roseville City School District in District 4

🚫 Wendy Biel 🚫

She is the Co-Chair for the Placer County chapter of Moms faux Liberty. I know plenty of locals who have stories to tell about how Wendy’s toxicity has seeped into their lives. We can’t let bigoted bullies who think “Trans children don’t exist” have a place of authority over countless innocent children.

We need to support a strong candidate who actually cares about providing a safe environment for children, not the fascist fanaticism that MAGA sycophants like Biel will install if she gets into a position of power.

As for me, well, I’m gonna do what I do best. Expose the truth. And let me tell you, there are some truths about Wendy Biel that are very eyeopening.

#RosevilleCA, time to pick your fighter. This election season is gonna be one for the ages!

#RosevilleCitySchoolDistrict say NO to #M4L

#MomsFauxLiberty is fascism with a smile.

Learn to Lose with Grace

Learn to Lose with Grace

I have faith in our elections. Win or lose, even with a varying margin of error, I have faith.

I’m old enough to remember the “hanging, dimpled and pregnant chads” of Bush vs Gore, so I know the difference between blatant fraud and verifiable odds.

That’s why I have to laugh about the “fraud” tantrum that MAGA throws after every election that doesn’t go their way. Even in 2024 where local races elected Liberals but the Presidential choice was Trump, I wasn’t thinking “oh someone’s cheating!”

The only time I really question things is when something is actually run afoul. Fake electors, GOP “official” drop boxes, a Republican who registered her dog to vote in the Newsom recall.

But here in Placer County, I have full and complete faith in election integrity. And I say that knowing full well that our Clerk-Recorder - Registrar of Voters Ryan Ronco is a Conservative, and that many of my chosen candidates lose.

So when I see one of Holly Andreatta’s biggest supporters question the integrity of Mr. Ronco, I just can’t help but shake my head.

Losing does not equal fraud, especially here in Placer.

Losing in the District 2 race for BoS means that Holly told racist lies and based her campaign on demonizing the unhoused community, and it cost her.

That’s it.

The Board of Supervisors is a massive responsibility, and even though I don’t agree with the individual Trustees personal politics or beliefs, I’m fairly pleased with a majority of their actions. Not all, but most.

Shanti ran a strong campaign while fulfilling her role on the Board. More than that, she worked toward important legislation, like prioritizing mental health support for our food producers, who are under an increasing amount of pressure every year.

Strong candidates win races and Conservative candidates usually win in Conservative spaces. So I’m not whining “IT’S FRAUD!” when my Liberal candidates lose in Placer. It is what it is, and the odds are against any candidate from the minority party.

That’s how Democracy works in a Representative Republic.

People like Kim Scott need to step outta their “sore loser” bubble and actually give credit where credit is due. Placer County has a lot of great people who work hard to make our elections as seamless as possible. Those efforts are led by a Conservative who has the support of local and state-wide Conservative groups and individuals, including one of Holly’s other close supporters, Whitney Eklund.

Mr. Ronco has been doing this non-partisan job for a long time and never once have I heard about there being any controversy or issues.

He has my confidence in his abilities to lead our election team. And hey, I’m radical leftist scum, so that’s saying something.

A loss doesn’t equal fraud.

Some of y’all need to grow tf up.

Especially #MOthePlacerBully who rage-baits conspiracies for engagement.

Condemned To Repeat It

I was always taught the lesson that fascists are bad people. My grandfather, a WWII Army Vet (Hell on Wheels) was fairly Conservative and he hated Nazi trash.

That’s why it’s weird for me to see so many Conservatives being unquestioningly passive during the modern rise of fascism.

What happened to y’all?

The Republicans I grew up knowing were never this fucking spineless.

Did some memo go out saying “Trump is resurrecting the KKK America First policies, so fall in line or else!”?

Republican politicians here in Placer County have gone mute. Just hiding in the shadows of a couple of millionaire donors, collecting contributions from a mega-church pastor who welcomes Nazi-wannabes into his sanctuary for events.

Oh, I hope the Fairrington’s followers didn’t think we forgot about that. No, I’d never let the Placer community forget that three years ago, Jeffrey Perrine was at Destiny Church watching James O’Keefe on stage.

That was just a few months after Perrine filmed himself threatening the lives of Queer children in Roseville.

Yep, just a few months after Fairrington shared a video of an innocent Queer Pastor who was deceived and demonized by Project Veritas.

You know who else demonized and attacked the Queer community?

Nazis.

Anywho, #WWJD am I right?

Keep thumping them Bibles, GOPvangelicals. I’m sure all will be well at the Pearly Gates . . . or Hell 🔥
