Atrocities

The famous phrase is "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." It was written by the philosopher George Santayana in his 1905 book The Life of Reason. Later, figures like Winston Churchill paraphrased it into the modern version: "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." This page can help everyone that reads it for that reason and more. It does something positive to me to remember such things in a humble way.

Holocaust:

The Holocaust (1933–1945) was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi German regime and its allies and collaborators. In addition to perpetrating the Holocaust, Nazi Germany also persecuted and murdered millions of other victims. 

When they came to power in Germany, the Nazis did not immediately start to carry out the mass murder of Jews. However, they quickly began using the government to target and exclude Jews from German society. Among other antisemitic measures, the Nazi German regime enacted discriminatory laws and organized violence targeting Germany’s Jews. The Nazi persecution of Jews became increasingly radical between 1933 and 1945. This radicalization culminated in a plan that Nazi leaders referred to as the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” The “Final Solution” was the organized and systematic mass murder of European Jews. The Nazi German regime implemented this genocide between 1941 and 1945. 

By the end of the Holocaust, the Nazi German regime and their allies and collaborators had murdered six million European Jews. 

However, the Nazis did not invent antisemitism. Antisemitism is an old and widespread prejudice that has taken many forms throughout history. In Europe, it dates back to ancient times. In the Middle Ages (500–1400), prejudices against Jews were primarily based in early Christian belief and thought, particularly the myth that Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus. Suspicion and discrimination rooted in religious prejudices continued in early modern Europe (1400–1800). At that time, leaders in much of Christian Europe isolated Jews from most aspects of economic, social, and political life. This exclusion contributed to stereotypes of Jews as outsiders. As Europe became more secular, many places lifted most legal restrictions on Jews. This, however, did not mean the end of antisemitism. In addition to religious antisemitism, other types of antisemitism took hold in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. These new forms included economic, nationalist, and racial antisemitism. In the 19th century, antisemites falsely claimed that Jews were responsible for many social and political ills in modern, industrial society. Theories of race, eugenics, and Social Darwinism falsely justified these hatreds. Nazi prejudice against Jews drew upon all of these elements, but especially racial antisemitism. Racial antisemitism is the discriminatory idea that Jews are a separate and inferior race. 

The Nazi Party promoted a particularly virulent form of racial antisemitism. It was central to the party’s race-based worldview. The Nazis believed that the world was divided into distinct races and that some of these races were superior to others. They considered Germans to be members of the supposedly superior “Aryan” race. They asserted that “Aryans” were locked in a struggle for existence with other, inferior races. Further, the Nazis believed that the so-called “Jewish race” was the most inferior and dangerous of all. According to the Nazis, Jews were a threat that needed to be removed from German society. Otherwise, the Nazis insisted, the “Jewish race” would permanently corrupt and destroy the German people. The Nazis’ race-based definition of Jews included many persons who identified as Christians or did not practice Judaism.

Where did the Holocaust take place? 

The Holocaust was a Nazi German initiative that took place throughout German- and Axis-controlled Europe. It affected nearly all of Europe’s Jewish population, which in 1933 numbered 9 million people. 

The Holocaust began in Germany after Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor in January 1933. Almost immediately, the Nazi German regime (which called itself the Third Reich) excluded Jews from German economic, political, social, and cultural life. Throughout the 1930s, the regime increasingly pressured Jews to emigrate. 

But the Nazi persecution of Jews spread beyond Germany. Throughout the 1930s, Nazi Germany pursued an aggressive foreign policy. This culminated in World War II, which began in Europe in 1939. Prewar and wartime territorial expansion eventually brought millions more Jewish people under German control. 

Nazi Germany’s territorial expansion began in 1938–1939. During this time, Germany annexed neighboring Austria and the Sudetenland  and occupied the Czech lands. On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany began World War II (1939–1945) by attacking Poland. Over the next two years, Germany invaded and occupied much of Europe, including western parts of the Soviet Union. Nazi Germany further extended its control by forming alliances with the governments of Italy, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. It also created puppet states in Slovakia and Croatia. Together these countries made up the European members of the Axis alliance, which also included Japan. 

By 1942—as a result of annexations, invasions, occupations, and alliances—Nazi Germany controlled most of Europe and parts of North Africa. Nazi control brought harsh policies and ultimately mass murder to Jewish civilians across Europe. 

The Nazis and their allies and collaborators murdered six million Jews.

What was the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”? 

The Nazi “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” (“Endlösung der Judenfrage”) was the deliberate and systematic mass murder of European Jews. It was the last stage of the Holocaust and took place from 1941 to 1945. Though many Jews were killed before the "Final Solution"  began, the vast majority of Jewish victims were murdered during this period.

As part of the “Final Solution,” Nazi Germany committed mass murder on an unprecedented scale. There were two main methods of killing. One method was mass shooting. German units carried out mass shootings on the outskirts of villages, towns, and cities throughout eastern Europe. The other method was asphyxiation with poison gas. Gassing operations were conducted at killing centers and with mobile gas vans. 

Mass Shootings

The Nazi German regime perpetrated mass shootings of civilians on a scale never seen before. After Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, German units began to carry out mass shootings of local Jews. At first, these units targeted Jewish men of military age. But by August 1941, they had started massacring entire Jewish communities. These massacres were often conducted in broad daylight and in full view and earshot of local residents. 

Mass shooting operations took place in more than 1,500 cities, towns, and villages across eastern Europe. German units tasked with murdering the local Jewish population moved throughout the region committing horrific massacres. Typically, these units would enter a town and round up the Jewish civilians. They would then take the Jewish residents to the outskirts of the town. Next, they would force them to dig a mass grave or take them to mass graves prepared in advance. Finally, German forces and/or local auxiliary units would shoot all of the men, women, and children into these pits. Sometimes, these massacres involved the use of specially designed mobile gas vans. Perpetrators would use these vans to suffocate victims with carbon monoxide exhaust.

The German units that perpetrated the mass shootings in eastern Europe included Einsatzgruppen (special task forces of the SS and police), Order Police battalions, and Waffen-SS units. The German military (Wehrmacht) provided logistical support and manpower. Some Wehrmacht units also carried out massacres. In many places, local auxiliary units working with the SS and police participated in the mass shootings. These auxiliary units were made up of local civilian, military, and police officials.

As many as 2 million Jews were murdered in mass shootings or gas vans in territories seized from Soviet forces. 

Killing Centers

In late 1941, the Nazi regime began building specially designed, stationary killing centers in German-occupied Poland. In English, killing centers are sometimes called “extermination camps” or “death camps.” Nazi Germany operated five killing centers: Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz-Birkenau. They built these killing centers for the sole purpose of efficiently murdering Jews on a mass scale. The primary means of murder at the killing centers was poisonous gas released into sealed gas chambers or vans. 

German authorities, with the help of their allies and collaborators, transported Jews from across Europe to these killing centers. They disguised their intentions by calling the transports to the killing centers “resettlement actions” or “evacuation transports.” In English, they are often referred to as “deportations.” Most of these deportations took place by train. In order to efficiently transport Jews to the killing centers, German authorities used the extensive European railroad system, as well as other means of transportation. In many cases the railcars on the trains were freight cars; in other instances they were passenger cars. 

The conditions on deportation transports were horrific. German and collaborating local authorities forced Jews of all ages into overcrowded railcars. They often had to stand, sometimes for days, until the train reached its destination. The perpetrators deprived them of food, water, bathrooms, heat, and medical care. Jews frequently died en route from the inhumane conditions.

The vast majority of Jews deported to killing centers were gassed almost immediately after their arrival. Some Jews whom German officials believed to be healthy and strong enough were selected for forced labor. 

My mother ran over to me and grabbed me by the shoulders, and she told me "Leibele, I'm not going to see you no more. Take care of your brother." 

—Leo Schneiderman describing arrival at Auschwitz, selection, and separation from his family

At all five killing centers, German officials forced some Jewish prisoners to assist in the killing process. Among other tasks, these prisoners had to sort through victims’ belongings and remove victims’ bodies from the gas chambers. Special units disposed of the millions of corpses through mass burial, in burning pits, or by burning them in large, specially designed crematoria.

Nearly 2.7 million Jewish men, women, and children were murdered at the five killing centers. 

What were ghettos and why did German authorities create them during the Holocaust?  

Ghettos were areas of cities or towns where German occupiers forced Jews to live in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. German authorities often enclosed these areas by building walls or other barriers. Guards prevented Jews from leaving without permission. Some ghettos existed for years, but others existed only for months, weeks, or even days as holding sites prior to deportation or murder. 

German officials first created ghettos in 1939–1940 in German-occupied Poland. The two largest were located in the occupied Polish cities of Warsaw and Lodz (Łódź). Beginning in June 1941, German officials also established them in newly conquered territories in eastern Europe following the German attack on the Soviet Union. German authorities and their allies and collaborators also established ghettos in other parts of Europe. Notably, in 1944, German and Hungarian authorities created temporary ghettos to centralize and control Jews prior to their deportation from Hungary. 

The Purpose of the Ghettos

German authorities originally established the ghettos to isolate and control the large local Jewish populations in occupied eastern Europe. Initially, they concentrated Jewish residents from within a city and the surrounding area or region. However, beginning in 1941, German officials also deported Jews from other parts of Europe (including Germany) to some of these ghettos. 

Jewish forced labor became a central feature of life in many ghettos. In theory, it was supposed to help pay for the administration of the ghetto as well as support the German war effort. Sometimes, factories and workshops were established nearby in order to exploit the imprisoned Jews for forced labor. The labor was often manual and grueling. 

Life in the Ghettos

Life in the ghettos was miserable and dangerous. There was little food and limited sanitation or medical care. Hundreds of thousands of people died by starvation; rampant disease; exposure to extreme temperatures; as well as exhaustion from forced labor. Germans also murdered the imprisoned Jews through brutal beatings, torture, arbitrary shootings, and other forms of arbitrary violence. 

Jews in the ghettos sought to maintain a sense of dignity and community. Schools, libraries, communal welfare services, and religious institutions provided some measure of connection among residents. Attempts to document life in the ghettos, such as the Oneg Shabbat archive and clandestine photography, are powerful examples of spiritual resistance. Many ghettos also had underground movements that carried out armed resistance. The most famous of these is the Warsaw ghetto uprising in 1943.  

Liquidating the Ghettos

Beginning in 1941–1942, Germans and their allies and collaborators murdered ghetto residents en masse and dissolved ghetto administrative structures. They called this process “liquidation.” It was part of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” The majority of Jews in the ghettos were murdered either in mass shootings at nearby killing sites or after deportation to killing centers. Most of the killing centers were deliberately located near the large ghettos of German-occupied Poland or on easily-accessible railway routes. 

Who was responsible for carrying out the Holocaust and the Final Solution? 

Many people were responsible for carrying out the Holocaust and the Final Solution. 

At the highest level, Adolf Hitler inspired, ordered, approved, and supported the genocide of Europe’s Jews. However, Hitler did not act alone. Nor did he lay out an exact plan for the implementation of the Final Solution. Other Nazi leaders were the ones who directly coordinated, planned, and implemented the mass murder. Among them were Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich, and Adolf Eichmann. 

However, millions of Germans and other Europeans participated in the Holocaust. Without their involvement, the genocide of the Jewish people in Europe would not have been possible. Nazi leaders relied upon German institutions and organizations; other Axis powers; local bureaucracies and institutions; and individuals. 

German Institutions, Organizations, and Individuals

Nazi leaders relied on many German institutions and organizations to help them carry out the Holocaust. Members of Nazi organizations initiated and carried out many anti-Jewish actions before and during World War II. These organizations included the Nazi Party, the SA (Stormtroopers or Brownshirts), and the SS (Schutzstaffel, Protection Squadron). Once the war began, the SS and its police affiliates became especially deadly. Members of the Sicherheitsdienst (the SD), the Gestapo, the Criminal Police (Kripo), and the Order Police played particularly active and deadly roles in the mass murder of Europe’s Jews. Other German institutions involved in carrying out the Final Solution included the German military; the German national railway and healthcare systems; the German civil service and criminal justice systems; and German businesses, insurance companies, and banks. 

As members of these institutions, countless German soldiers, policemen, civil servants, lawyers, judges, businessmen, engineers, and doctors and nurses chose to implement the regime’s policies. Ordinary Germans also participated in the Holocaust in a variety of ways. Some Germans cheered as Jews were beaten or humiliated. Others denounced Jews for disobeying racist laws and regulations. Many Germans bought, took, or looted their Jewish neighbors' belongings and property. These Germans’ participation in the Holocaust was motivated by enthusiasm, careerism, fear, greed, self-interest, antisemitism, and political ideals, among other factors. 

Non-German Governments and Institutions

Nazi Germany did not perpetrate the Holocaust alone. It relied on the help of its allies and collaborators. In this context, “allies” refers to Axis countries officially allied with Nazi Germany. “Collaborators” refers to regimes and organizations that cooperated with German authorities in an official or semi-official capacity. Nazi Germany’s allies and collaborators included:

The European Axis Powers and other collaborationist regimes (such as Vichy France). These governments passed their own antisemitic legislation and cooperated with German goals.

German-backed local bureaucracies, especially local police forces. These organizations helped round up, intern, and deport Jews even in countries not allied with Germany, such as the Netherlands.

Local auxiliary units made up of military and police officials and civilians. These German-backed units participated in massacres of Jews in eastern Europe (often voluntarily). 

The terms “allies” and “collaborators” can also refer to individuals affiliated with these governments and organizations.

Individuals across Europe 

Throughout Europe, individuals who had no governmental or institutional affiliation and did not directly participate in murdering Jews also contributed to the Holocaust. 

One of the deadliest things that neighbors, acquaintances, colleagues, and even friends could do was denounce Jews to Nazi German authorities. An unknown number chose to do so. They revealed Jews’ hiding places, unmasked false Christian identities, and otherwise identified Jews to Nazi officials. In doing so, they brought about their deaths. These individuals’ motivations were wide-ranging: fear, self-interest, greed, revenge, antisemitism, and political and ideological beliefs.

Individuals also profited from the Holocaust. Non-Jews sometimes moved into Jews’ homes, took over Jewish-owned businesses, and stole Jews’ possessions and valuables. This was part of the widespread theft and plunder that accompanied the genocide. 

Most often individuals contributed to the Holocaust through inaction and indifference to the plight of their Jewish neighbors. Sometimes these individuals are called bystanders. 

Who were the other victims of Nazi persecution and mass murder? 

The Holocaust specifically refers to the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews. However, there were also millions of other victims of Nazi persecution and murder. In the 1930s, the regime targeted a variety of alleged domestic enemies within German society. As the Nazis extended their reach during World War II, millions of other Europeans were also subjected to Nazi brutality. 

The Nazis classified Jews as the priority “enemy.” However, they also targeted other groups as threats to the health, unity, and security of the German people. The first group targeted by the Nazi regime consisted of political opponents. These included officials and members of other political parties and trade union activists. Political opponents also included people simply suspected of opposing or criticizing the Nazi regime. Political enemies were the first to be incarcerated in Nazi concentration camps. Jehovah’s Witnesses were also incarcerated in prisons and concentration camps. They were arrested because they refused to swear loyalty to the government or serve in the German military.

The Nazi regime also targeted Germans whose activities were deemed harmful to German society. These included men accused of homosexuality, persons accused of being professional or habitual criminals, and so-called asocials (such as people identified as vagabonds, beggars, prostitutes, pimps, and alcoholics). Tens of thousands of these victims were incarcerated in prisons and concentration camps. The regime also forcibly sterilized and persecuted Black people in Germany. 

People with disabilities were also victimized by the Nazi regime. Before World War II, Germans considered to have supposedly unhealthy hereditary conditions were forcibly sterilized. Once the war began, Nazi policy radicalized. People with disabilities, especially those living in institutions, were considered both a genetic and a financial burden on Germany. These people were targeted for murder in the so-called Euthanasia Program.

The Nazi regime employed extreme measures against groups considered to be racial, civilizational, or ideological enemies. This included Roma (Gypsies), Poles (especially the Polish intelligentsia and elites), Soviet officials, and Soviet prisoners of war. The Nazis perpetrated mass murder against these groups.

How did the Holocaust end?  

The Holocaust ended in May 1945 when the major Allied Powers (Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union) defeated Nazi Germany in World War II. As Allied forces moved across Europe in a series of offensives, they overran concentration camps. There they liberated the surviving prisoners, many of whom were Jews. The Allies also encountered and liberated the survivors of so-called death marches. These forced marches consisted of groups of Jewish and non-Jewish concentration camp inmates who had been evacuated on foot from camps under SS guard. 

But liberation did not bring closure. Many Holocaust survivors faced ongoing threats of violent antisemitism and displacement as they sought to build new lives. Many had lost family members, while others searched for years to locate missing parents, children, and siblings. Read full article HERE

Communism:
Billy Graham on communism: “Satan’s religion” (1954)

Billy Graham addressing one of his Crusades in Germany, 1954
Billy Graham (1918-2018) was an American Baptist minister and probably the best-known evangelist preacher of the 20th century. Born and raised in rural North Carolina, Graham converted at age 16 before studying in Florida and Illinois. Ordained in 1939, he served as a pastor in several locations, earning a reputation for forceful and fiery oratory.

Graham started his own ministry in 1947 and embarked on a series of ‘crusades’, essentially sermons, preaching and consultations conducted before a mass audience. He held these ‘crusades’ in more than 180 countries, including Poland (1978), the Soviet Union (1982-84), Romania (1985) and China (1988). Graham was a vociferous and often provocative critic of communism who aligned himself with politicians of similar views, such as Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson.

In the following extract from the August 1954 edition of The American Mercury, Graham describes communism as “Satan’s religion” and a “doctrine of death and destruction”:

“The Communist revolution that was born in the hearts of Marx and Engels in the middle of the 19th century is not going to give up or retreat. No amount of words at the United Nations, or peace conferences in the Far East, is going to change the mind of Communism. It is here to stay. It is a battle to the death: either Communism must die, or Christianity must die…

Has it ever occurred to you that the Devil is a religious leader and millions are worshipping at his shrine today? … The name of this present-day religion is Communism… The Devil is their god, Marx their prophet, Lenin their saint and Malenkov their high priest. Denying their faith in all ideologies, except their religion of revolution, these diabolically-inspired men seek in devious and various ways to convert a peaceful world to their doctrine of death and destruction.

So fanatical and ruthless are these disciples of Lucifer that in thirty years they have slaughtered millions of innocent persons and stand prepared with poised weapons to kill millions more in an all-out effort to spread their doctrines to the ends of the earth…

What is the subtle creed of Communism? What sort of ideology is it that has captured the loyalty of countless millions of the world’s people? [Christian writer] Dr Roy Laurin has suggested the following appraisal:

Politically, a Communist is one who believes the state is supreme and the individual exists only for the welfare of the state, thus destroying the God-given status of the dignity of the individual.

Economically, a Communist believes in the replacement of private property in land and capital by common ownership and the replacement of private management by collective management.

Socially, a Communist does not believe in marriage as an institution of God but only as a biological arrangement suited to the reproduction of heirs to the Communist state.

Internationally, a Communist is a revolutionist who is behind much of the unrest in the world today, whether in Korea, East Germany or Morocco.

Ethically, a Communist is a believer of and a devotee to the ‘big lie.’

Theologically, a Communist is an atheist, a despoiler of churches, a murderer of Christians…

A war of ideologies is being waged throughout the world, a war of the secular against the spiritual. The actual battles in the areas of combat are only material manifestations of the larger battle that rages in the hearts of men throughout the earth. Will it be truth or a lie? Will we be motivated by materialistic philosophy or spiritual power? Will we be led by Jehovah God – or duped by Satan? The battle lines are clearly drawn…” From HERE.

Karl Marx’s Obsession With the Devil 
Jul 1, 2024 8 min read It’s well known that Communism killed 100 million people — but few are aware of the obsession Communism’s founder Karl Marx had with the Devil. Karl Marx (1818–1883) is the economist and social theorist whose enduring footprint on the world is the political system known as Communism. Read HERE

AI Overview

The estimate that communist regimes killed 100 million people originates primarily from The Black Book of Communism, a controversial 1997 book edited by historian Stéphane Courtois. While this figure is widely cited by political organizations, memorials, and various governments to highlight the massive scale of human suffering under authoritarian states, it remains a subject of intense debate among mainstream historians regarding methodology, definition, and the exact data.

Origins of the FigureThe calculation was popularized in the introduction of The Black Book of Communism. The book compiled deaths across several 20th-century regimes, listing the following approximate breakdowns:

China: 65 million (primarily during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution)

Soviet Union: 20 million (through the Gulag system, forced collectivization, and political purges)

Cambodia: 2 million (under the Khmer Rouge genocide)

North Korea: 2 million

Other regimes: Millions more combined across Eastern Europe, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan

The sum of these specific estimates in the text actually totaled roughly 94.3 million, which the lead author rounded up to approximately 100 million for the book's overarching theme.

Historical Consensus and Debates

While historians universally agree that communist governments caused tens of millions of avoidable deaths through execution, political repression, forced labor, and poorly designed economic policies that triggered catastrophic famines, the specific "100 million" figure faces notable criticism from academic experts:

Methodological Concerns: Critics—including some of the book's co-authors, such as Nicolas Werth and Jean-Louis Margolin—publicly distanced themselves from Courtois's introduction. They argued that Courtois was obsessed with reaching the 100-million milestone and utilized sloppy math, such as counting unborn children from projected birth rates or counting casualties of civil wars as intentional executions.

Famine vs. Intentional Murder: A core debate is whether deaths resulting from economic mismanagement and forced agricultural collectivization (such as the Soviet Holodomor or China’s Great Famine) should be classified under the same umbrella of intentional "killing" as political purges and direct executions.

Varying Estimates: Depending on the specific methodology and available archival data, individual historians project lower or higher totals. For example, modern consensus estimates for Soviet deaths often range between 15 and 20 million, while estimates for China's Great Leap Forward vary widely between 30 million and 45 million.

Ultimately, while the precise statistical shorthand of "100 million" is heavily contested among academics, it serves as a prominent cultural and political reference point for the massive human cost of 20th-century authoritarian regimes.

Lynching:

I am a good dude. I am one of the good guys no matter what. I am not a racist, everyone knows that; especially those few who I have been friends with. My wife is a very smart woman; who has been my best friend for 40 years. She knows I see people like the Lord sees them.: (Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” King James Version (KJV)) I used to fight for pregnant Indian woman getting hurt while they were working on making clothing in the year 2012. I fought for disappearing woman coming from Mexico back in the year about 2007. African American people are on that list of my best friends and always will be. Africa is where the Garden of Eden was. I love all people from the land where Jesus came from on this earth. The things I know and believe in makes it imposable for me to be a racist.


If you look at the grand scheme of things, compared to the most of the south, Collin County was not nearly as bad concerning slavery and lynching. These were the most terrible times for our nation and even during those years Collin County paled in comparison to the rest of the worst. 

Do you know what saved us all? Christianity and the freedom to practice it. If you look back on the years leading up to the end of slavery in America; Christianity was at it's strongest and most pure.

I am going to try to piece together articles I have placed here in the past about Slavery and Lynching. I will try to not make this about any political partys. Also I have added to it as of June 26th 2026. If I ad more I will change the afore mentioned date.:

Sign the petition: The Senate must make lynching a federal crime by passing the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act.
The Senate recently passed legislation awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor to Emmett Till, who was brutally murdered in a 1955 lynching. But passing the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act to prevent such a tragedy from happening again would have been better


After more than 100 agonizing years and 200 failed attempts, lynching is just one signature away from officially being a federal crime.

This horrific weapon of racial terror which ran rampant in the late 18th and 19th centuries has been wielded by the hateful and the weak to silence, dehumanize, and defile Black Americans for generations, locking us out of power by threatening our lives.

Named for 14-year-old Emmitt Till, whose brutal murder at the hands of white supremacists helped ignite the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, the signing of this legislation will mark a watershed moment for safety and equality in our nation.

As an organization originally founded to confront this very evil, we at the NAACP call on President Biden to IMMEDAITELY sign this long-overdue anti-lynching legislation into law and committ the full force of the U.S. government to bear upon those who commit this heinous crime.

The work to achieve equal justice for all cannot succeed unless our country confronts its racist past. Join us and add you name to demand President Biden advance history and sign the Emmitt Till Anti-Lynching Act into law >>: https://support.naacp.org/a/em_pet_b1_031922_ac_30d-1-1-2

I have been saying for years that McKinney Texas, was the last city in America to outlaw public hangings. This may not be accurate. I can not prove this online. My wife's college history teacher told her this, years ago. I looked it up about a week ago. I was struck by this haunting photo I saw and decided to do a post here as a result of that research.

It turns out that, that Collin County college teacher may have exaggerated the truth a little. Maybe I remembered wrong. It is hard not to get worked up about history stats like this. So I understand how people can exaggerate sometimes about these kind of sad day's of our country.

The following article is proof that one of the last legal public hangings in Texas was in 1921; in McKinney, Texas. 


Collin County had only three legal hangings before the state took over that responsibility in 1922.

Stephen Ballew - for killing James Golden in 1870. The trial was held in the Christian church because the courtroom was too small. This would have been during the time of the two-story wood-frame courthouse, before the stone courthouse with the towers was constructed. He was hanged at the south edge of McKinney.

Shack Culwell - an 18-year-old black man who killed his boss, W. R. Norvell, in a dispute over $5. He was hanged from a tree north of McKinney near the current VFW hall. He was taken to the site in a wagon, sitting on top of his coffin and was buried at the foot of a tree.

Ezell Stepp - for killing Hardy Mills, 1921. He was hanged on a scaffold at the county jail. This was one of the last legal hangings in Texas.

This next article about Gainesville, Texas has got to be the worst public hanging's ever.:



The Great Hanging at Gainesville was the execution by hanging of forty-one suspected Unionists in Gainesville, Texas, in October 1862 during the American Civil War. Two additional suspects were shot by Confederate troops while trying to escape. Some 150–200 men were captured and arrested by state Confederate troops in and near Cooke County at a time when numerous citizens of North Texas were opposed to the new law on conscription. Many suspects were tried by a "Citizens' Court" organized by a Confederate officer. It made up its own rules for conviction and had no status under state law. Although only 11% of county households owned slaves, seven of the 12 men on the jury were slaveholders, determined to suppress dissent.


I found this article in Google, after actually talking with someone who remember's seeing some Paris, Texas hangings.

February 1, 1893, in the town of Paris, Texas:

Smith was put to death in the same manner as thousands of other African Americans, many of them freed slaves, who were publicly lynched between 1877 and 1950. He was stripped, beaten savagely and brought to the town square with his hands bound. In front of a crowd of about 10,000, including families with children, he was forced to climb onto a high platform and then tortured by the executioners for more than an hour. Finally, he was burned alive to the jubilant shouts of the mob, who immediately purchased his bones and organs, sold as souvenirs of the event. 


Yes it is true I met someone that remembered the Paris Texas Hangings. He also told me a couple other stories about one guy who was running from a lynch mob and one about a guy that the mob chased into the jail wanting to lynch him as the sheriff did all he could to protect him. He was a great old dude who I was glad to have as a friend as the Juneteenth came about. I signed many petitions for Juneteenth to be officially designated as a U.S. federal holiday on June 17, 2021.

Mapping the history of racial terror
SMITHSONIAN.COM

JANUARY 24, 2017

The Civil War may have freed an estimated 4 million slaves, but that wasn’t nearly the end of acts of racial violence committed against African Americans. Acts of domestic terrorism against black people include the thousands murdered in public lynchings. Now, an interactive map provides a detailed look at almost every documented lynching between the 1830s and 1960s.

The rise of Lynching

Lynching means more than homicide: it is condemning someone to death by the whims of a mob or entire community — no judge. Over time, it became racist, common, and brutal.

However, the word lynching has evolved in meaning over time, and the methods looked different in distinct regions of the US. In the original 13 colonies, lynching referred to punishing someone in public (such as tar and feathers) outside of the official law.

By 1835, this public punishment was becoming lethal more often, and the group of people who did it still expected impunity. The perpetrators felt no one should ever question the ‘justice’ being served by murdering their suspect. In the 1830s, remember, the United States was still in the times of slavery and expanding to the Far West.

In the middle of the century, lynching could be found as a crude form of frontier justice done by vigilantes "keeping the peace"— about 40% of all the recorded lynchings by this time were done to white men (there are two cases recorded of a white woman as well). Yet studies have discovered lynching was used more often in towns that had a functioning courthouse. This seems to contradict the idea that it was just a time of lawlessness. Lynching became a tool that people engaged in hatred: it was applied viciously as Anglos clashed in tensions with Mexican-Americans on the southwest border. It was an ultimatum leveled against Chinese families who were living alongside white settlers in the middle of California, Oregon, and Washington.

1880 — Fifteen years after the Civil War, black men had created social progress with the new right to vote (but still no women in the US were allowed to vote). Black Americans were successfully becoming businessmen, property owners, and electing their own state legislators. Then the defenders of a whites-only South (Dixie) escalated lynching to a scale it had never been used before. After 1886, the proportion of times it was used against white suspects in the South was strikingly small. But entire white communities would gather in the streets to seize and kill black people outside the law. In the South, nearly 80% of such mob murders would be attacks against black Americans specifically: mostly men, sometimes women, even sometimes teenagers.

Activists in the 1890s struggled to define the word lynching to try to capture this rise in terror.

I am thankful for Juneteenth; even though the indiscriminate murders of African Americans, continued up until the 1960's, especially in the south, because of racism. Reading this page made me sad for America and it's roots.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slavery_and_serfdom
I recommend giving it a quick read.

Of course as you all must know; no matter what, my allegiance is to our great country. I do not see how you can read my posts without coming to that conclusion eventually. Just in case; I like reminding myself of that here. We can always do better. I will never stop looking for better red, white and blue ways of doing things better. 

I had to do a report for college on a movie and give a presentation in front of the class. I chose the Ox-Bow Incident. It moved me so much I ended up giving a speech against the ability of people to condemn people who are innocent of a crime to death. This is the best example of what it was like in the old west when people lynched people. I very much recommend watching it. The performance rivals the best Twilight Zone show you ever saw.:

Two cowboys arrive in a Western town, when news arrives that a local rancher has been murdered and his cattle stolen. The townspeople, joined by the two cowboys and cowboys from other ranches, form a posse to catch the perpetrators. They find three men in possession of the cattle, and are determined to see justice done on the spot. Read HERE

A proposed Louisiana chemical plant may be building on the graves of formerly enslaved people. 

We’re saying “no.” 

RISE St. James, a faith-based grassroots community group, recently learned that graves of enslaved people have been found on the proposed site of Formosa Plastics in St. James Parish, a fact the company did not bring to the community’s attention while it was seeking a land use permit.

They discovered the presence of graves on the proposed site after reviewing the company’s submissions to the permitting agencies, which they obtained from a public records request. The records also revealed that Formosa representatives have considered the possibility of removing remains if found on certain portions of the property, because preserving them in place would be a “difficult option” for the company.

“We are going to fight for the respect [our ancestors’] resting places—and our community—deserve as we continue our fight to stop Formosa Plastics from being built at all. Governor John Bel Edwards should join us and protect our communities,” said Sharon Lavigne of RISE St. James.


Sharia law:

I am a good dude. I am one of the good guys no matter what. I am not a racist, everyone knows that; especially those few who I have been friends with. My wife is a very smart woman; who has been my best friend for 40 years. She knows I see people like the Lord sees them.: (Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” King James Version (KJV)) I used to fight for pregnant Indian woman getting hurt while they were working on making clothing in the year 2012. I fought for disappearing woman coming from Mexico back in the year about 2007. African American people are on that list of my best friends and always will be. Africa is where the Garden of Eden was. I love all people from the land where Jesus came from on this earth. The things I know and believe in makes it imposable for me to be a racist.

I am just going to post, posts here from this blog's most recent page that have to do with Sharia law.

Updated April 9th 2025
I definitely wanted to say something about the Muslim religion in my last post here so I rewrote the whole thing on my art blog. I do not allow politics on my art blog. I do like to talk about religion there. Since this has to do with politics and religion; I will post it here as well.:

Recently I had to research the Muslim Religion because it related to some controversial problems I have seen in America that I thought needed a voice of protest by Americans. It was not difficult at all to find information online quickly. Sharia law was one of the most outstanding problems that I never knew about by reading about it in the news. I did not know Sharia law existed until just recently when I researched it. After reading about Sharia law; I must make it clear that I do not agree with Sharia law and find it to be a direct threat to freedom in the United States and also a propagation of criminal behavior. I always try to say nice things about the Muslim people on my blog because there are so many of them here where I live. That is why I must make it clear here that I do not approve of Sharia law.: I got this from a quick Google AI search.: Basically from what I have read all Christians are guilty of shirk and by Sharia Law and are punished harshly, even by the death penalty. Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, but may also regard them as committing shirk because of the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation. : Read here. Also see.: Read here. Apostasy and Sharia Law: Some interpretations of Sharia law, particularly those that emphasize a strict interpretation of religious law, may prescribe harsh punishments, including the death penalty, for those who abandon Islam (apostasy) or commit shirk. Definition of apostasy in Islam Scholars of Islam differ as to what constitutes apostasy in that religion and under what circumstances an apostate is subject to the death penalty.: Read here.  Whether Muslims and Christians can be friends can be very difficult and seems to be discouraged by the Muslim religion; especially when it comes to Sharia law. I found this page.: Read here. Of course I always believe in freedom of religion in America the land that I love. I must make it clear that I am very much against Sharia law. You could say my only problem with the Muslim religion is Sharia law and it's acceptance by the Muslim religion in anyway. I promise to pray for Muslims salvation as much as I can; from now on, simply because there seems to be so many of them here where I live. The bottom of the line is that these crimes are very much underreported.: Qisas and honor crimes.: Read here.  Honor killing in the United States. Several honor killings have been documented in the United States. As of 2012, there is no central agency that collects data across all jurisdictions in regards to honor violence in the United States There is reluctance among some organizations to label events as honor killings to avoid stigmatizing Muslim and Arab cultures.: Read here. I am not prejudice no matter what; I have proven that by my thousands of pages against prejudice on the internet. I am and always will be against Sharia law and domestic violence. 

Updated May 28th 2025
“I believe that Muslim belief is against the Constitution and against America and a threat to our country,” said Brenda Powell.

“They want to expand politically in order to dominate violently. And that's what this is, a Hamas sanctuary city,” said Krista Schild, a Hunt County GOP precinct chair.

“Sharia has no freedom of religion, no freedom of speech, no freedom of thought, no freedom of artistic expression, and no equal rights for women,” said Lee-Breckenridge Moore, a Collin County resident and frequent speaker at commissioners’ court.

Carroll compared Sharia law to the Ten Commandments in the Bible. He said the controversy about Sharia law at EPIC City is based on stereotypes.: From here

I think the problem stems from opposition of Sharia law with Christians.. If the Muslims in America would just denounce this; there would be no troubles between them and America. From what I have read; this has no chance of happening in our life time. I could be wrong.

"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, but may also regard them as committing shirk because of the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation." Read from here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_Islam "Shirk.: "It is considered to be the gravest sin in Islam." "those who commit shirk and plot against Islam—often refer to the enemies of Islam"  Read here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirk_(Islam) Shirk is apostacy.: "A man from among the Ansar accepted Islam, then he apostatized and went back to Shirk.' 
From here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirk_(Islam) What are the penalty's of apostacy under Islamic law?: "Apostasy from Islam is considered a hudud crime.[132] Both male and female apostates deserve the death penalty for leaving Islam, according to the traditional view of the Mālikī school.[130] Unlike other schools, the apostates must have a history of being "good" (i.e., practicing) Muslims.[3]" Read here.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam In contemporary times the majority of Islamic jurists still regard apostasy as a crime deserving the death penalty, Also from.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam 

That was hard work. If you work at it you will see it using Google. If I studied this like many Christians do; I could state my case better. I am very new at all this and would suggest reading books on the subject or consulting experts on the subject. I do not claim to be a expert of any kind on this subject; I consider myself a beginner at best.

This would not surprise me. The Muslim people I have met and become acquainted with since I moved here; are nicest people I have ever met or become acquainted with, in my life. Not to mention a few bad apples; I chose to forget about. I get it. I get the Middle East life. I get being from where Jesus came to this earth; from. It must be a magical place; like no where on this earth. I pray our country does all it can to save these people from Sharia law. If only all Muslims would denounce Sharia law. All Christians denounce the laws of the Old Testament. Jesus came to free us all from the laws of the Old Testament. My favorite scriptures concern the ripping of the veil. Matthew 27:51 “And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;” When that Veil was rent; we were free. Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” Click here. Matthew 27:51 took place just after the moment Christ died on the cross.: Matthew 27:51 Context 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. This is one of my favorite places in The Word Of God. 

The Veil was a amazing thing.:
AI Overview
Why was the temple veil torn in two after Christ's crucifixion?
The temple veil that was torn in two at Jesus' death was a large and thick curtain. Early Jewish tradition says it was about 60 feet tall and 30 feet wide, with a thickness "as thick as a man's hand" (around 4 inches). 

AI Overview 
In the KJV, "the veil of the temple was rent" refers to the massive curtain separating the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies in the Jerusalem Temple being torn in two from top to bottom. This event, described in the Gospels, happened immediately after Jesus' death on the cross. It is a symbolic act with profound theological implications.
Updated July 21st 2025
I have met the most anti-American Muslims in my life; right here in the heart of the most conservative county in Texas, therefore America. I quote myself from this page back in July 8th of this year.: 

"The Muslim people I have met and become acquainted with since I moved here; are the nicest people I have ever met or become acquainted with, in my life. Not to mention one bad apple; I chose to forget about. I get it. I get the Middle East life. I get being from where Jesus came to this earth; from. It must be a magical place; like no where on this earth. I pray our country does all it can to save these people from Sharia law. If only all Muslims would denounce Sharia law."

I have been writing about this in emails and online here and my art blog and even commented on some YouTube videos about it; ever since this harassment took place in September of 2003. It is a good thing she is a woman because I would be allot meaner if she was a guy. I have always believed; woman should be treated much more gentler than men. Click here (Christians only) to see what the Bible says about woman.:

I want to illiterate more that this Muslim women (in full garb: she looked like mother Mary from the Bible, i.e. anti-Mother Mary because she seemed so hateful and mean to me at that time) who falsely accused me of crimes (she was the receipt checker at the door); almost exactly one month before October 7, 2023 (that timing was super weird), who worked at the Walmart at the time. Better look out for over zealous Muslims that work for Walmart; they will do what ever they can to destroy any Christian American they can (although I believe this was a isolated incident). Yet it seems Walmart celebrates them and other types of trouble making hateful people as their employees. I think Walmart can easily be construed as anti-American. Whether it is their goal to be supper left wing or not; to please people, to me and other good old fashioned Americans it can only be construed as anti-Americanism. My advice is the same as it has always been; if you can avoid going there, than do that, you will be much more happier for it.

I have also met a Indian women here locally that was openly hateful to Christianity meaning I sensed this about her. I can see how people from India who are known for persecuting Christians can come to America and just take for granted Christians are persecuted. It is unacceptable here in the Land of the free and we need to keep these people from ever mistreating Christians in America. These Indian people here in North Texas love to say they have a history here. If the history equals persecuting Christians that has no future in this Land that has In God We Trust on it's money.

Also I have met a woman from the McKinney Walmart front end that I have met all three of the people I am talking about now and she also seemed to hate me because I was a Christian too. I asked her where she was from because of her accent. She said southern Africa. I said that is where the garden of Eden was originally from and she seemed offended by every word out of my mouth after that. I used to love down town and the surrounding aria of McKinney and over the years as it grew I learned to hate it. I feel like they took the innocent all America little town that we all loved and destroyed it right in front of our own eyes. Pretty sad. A sign of the times I guess. Matthew 16:3 “And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” King James Version (KJV)

My senator, said this in his most recent email.:

Week 4 of the Schumer Shutdown has concluded, and Week 5 is just around the corner. The Republicans have voted again and again to reopen the government, and sadly, the Democrats continued to say, “shut it down.” It’s time for them to stop meddling with millions of Americans to protect their own self-interests and personal gain.

Also this.:
For years, I have fought to counter the slaughter and persecution of Christians in Nigeria. This year, I introduced legislation that will lock in the designation President Trump made to make Nigeria a “country of particular concern.” This is a critical step in holding accountable and changing the behavior of Nigerian officials who have facilitated and created an environment conducive to the outrages in Nigeria. My legislation implements additional steps, including targeting those who implement blasphemy and sharia laws in Nigeria, and I am committed to working with the administration and my colleagues to advance my bill and implement these necessary measures.

Quotes email from the email list of my congressman.:

Sat, Nov 22 at 7:01 AM

In recent remarks on the House floor, I spoke about the growing threat posed by the spread of sharia across America. Our nation was founded on principles of individual liberty, self-governance, and the belief that our rights come from our Creator. However, we are now witnessing troubling efforts to impose values fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and Western values.

As developments like the rebranding of EPIC City to “The Meadow” unfold here in North Texas, it is important that citizens stay informed on how sharia threatens our culture. This veiled attempt of dominance, along with many others across the country, reflects an infiltration of sharia that demands our attention and our vigilance.

This week, I introduced legislation to hold Iranian regime clerics accountable for issuing sharia-based fatwas calling for the torture and assassination of President Donald J. Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and other political leaders. These extremist decrees, issued under Iran’s Moharebeh (“waging war against God”) designation, advocate for barbaric punishments such as crucifixion and cross-amputation. My bill demands that the administration make a determination on whether the individuals responsible for these fatwas should be deemed Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs), ensuring the United States responds forcefully to those who threaten our leaders.

In the United States of America, sharia has no authority. This legislation is pro-Constitution, pro-freedom, and pro-American values. We are standing up for the rule of law, the safety of our citizens, and the preservation of Western culture. We must work to defend our leaders, uphold our Constitution, and confront foreign extremists who seek to undermine our nation, our values, and our way of life.

Quotes from email from the email list of my senator.:

When President Biden refused to enforce our immigration laws at the border, Texas bore the heaviest burden. In March 2021, Governor Abbott launched Operation Lone Star to help secure the border when the federal government would not – an operation that was vital to ensuring the safety and security of all Americans.

That’s why, this week, I led a letter, along with members of the Texas congressional delegation, to the U.S. Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Homeland Security (DHS), urging them to prioritize releasing funds set aside in the One Big Beautiful Bill to reimburse the State of Texas for the more than $11 billion dollars spent on border security. Texas played its part in keeping this country safe, and it’s time for the Lone Star State to be paid back.

There is no country on this planet where Christians are being murdered at the rate they are being murdered in Nigeria. Since 2009, there has been a systematic mass murder of Christians. Boko Haram and other radical Islamic terrorists are carrying out these mass murders, and far too many government officials are acquiescing or turning a blind eye to what is happening. For years, I’ve been leading the fight to shed light on these horrific atrocities, and I am thankful for President Trump’s strong leadership and action in responding to this crisis.

This week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as FTOs and transnational criminal organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood is unquestionably a terrorist organization, and it has been designated as one by governments around the world, including Austria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. We have yet to designate them at the federal level, and it’s time for the United States to make this designation.

Churchill’s Dire Warning Rings Again—This Time for America
My Congressman| Dec 09, 2025

Winston Churchill proclaimed, “If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Congress is symbolic of the growing dysfunction in America as Marxists, gays, and prominent liberals have locked arms with radical Islamists.  As in Congress, on university campuses, and in urban centers all across our nation, various groups are blind to the dangers that lurk with the rise of militant Islam.  Through the aggressive spread of Sharia, seeds of distrust of governing institutions are being sown into the minds of the unsuspecting.  

The exploding national debt, growing acceptance of socialism, and the massive influx of unassimilated aliens—all portend a dystopian future if America does not reclaim the fact that freedom and American exceptionalism are the greatest drivers of peace, prosperity, and innovation in history.  

Ask yourself, where do you believe America is on this continuum Churchill laid out so eloquently? Where are you? Read full article here.

Quotes from my Congressman's weekly email from his email list.:

While representing you in the swamp of Washington, D.C, I am committed to upholding our shared Texas values. I understand dignity of hard work, and I know how tirelessly the people of our district labor to provide for their families. Your tax dollars are far too precious to be used for funding Washington’s bloated bureaucracies.

Please be assured that my resolve to root out the waste, fraud, and abuse that have flourished under years of Democratic mismanagement remains firm.

When perfect has come (The Word of God these things will cease.: 1 Corinthians 13:10 “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.” Perfect means the Word of God.

Quotes from email from the email list of my Senator.:

From author of this blog. Thankyou Senator. No Christian should be persecuted in this day and age and Christians have the power to stop them.

More Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than anywhere else in the world. Since 2009, Islamic jihadists have murdered more than 50,000 Christians in Nigeria, and more than 20,000 churches, schools, and religious institutions have been destroyed.

Last year, I introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act, which would require placing Nigeria back on the country of particular concern list and impose sanctions on officials involved in enforcing blasphemy and Sharia laws. When Christians are being systematically persecuted, anyone who remains silent is complicit. We need to continue shining a light on these atrocities for justice and for an end to persecution, for peace.

McKinney City Council Unanimously Approves Mosque After Hours of Public Opposition

August 5, 2026

On Tuesday night, hundreds of residents packed the meeting, largely to speak against the McKinney Islamic Association’s proposed mosque. However, some came out in support of the development.

A woman in a crowded room holds up a sign that reads, Dont Sharia Texas! Several people are seated around her, facing forward.

“Every country that is Islamic now used to be a Christian country,” said Eddie Isa, who described himself as a survivor of Sharia law from Iran. “We were soft Christians, and we allowed these people to come in, bring their Sharia law into their countries, and slowly kill us off left and right.”

“These people will use ‘Takia’ to lie to you, to manipulate you, because whenever Islam is little, they will lie to you and tell you they come in peace. This is Level One. Level Two is what’s happening in the U.K. right now,” Isa added.

Republican U.S. Rep. Keith Self, whose district includes McKinney, urged council members to reject the proposal.

“Look, I know you’re in the accommodation phase, but the intimidation phase follows quickly. It’s already happening in cities in Texas,” Self said. “This is your time though. This is your moment of truth; this is your time for choosing. This is your time to choose to honor your oath that starts with the U.S. Constitution. There is no state cavalry coming to save you.”

Republican state Rep. Keresa Richardson also addressed the council, urging members to delay action. 

“I respectfully request that this council pause final action for the McKinney Islamic Association site plan … while the state’s investigation moves over,” Richardson said. “This is America, and we will not be governed by Sharia law.”

Richardson also said that McKinney Islamic Association’s imam, Sheikh Mohamad Al-Gebaly, was sent by the Egyptian government to serve at a Virginia mosque, which she argued raises questions about potential foreign influence.

“This historic appointment by a foreign government raises legitimate questions of transparency regarding potential foreign influence in the leadership of this organization,” Richardson said. Read full article HERE

AI lies about the fact that Muslims and Christians can live in peace with each other. Sharia law commands that Christians are eligible for the death penalty simply for being Christians. Like it or not America is a Christian nation. If you research all of our founding fathers you will find they continually looked to the Holy Bible to make all of their decisions and strongest statements. Muslims and Christians can never live in peace with each other if the Muslims believe Christians could be put to death for just being Christians. This is applied a hundred times more in the; In God We Trust country of The United States of America.

No, Muslims as a whole are not anti-Christian.
Updated August 8th 2026
From a great Congressman Keith Self's email list email.:

My fight against Sharia continues in Texas’ Third Congressional District and in Congress. Here at home, we are watching radical Islamist beliefs rooted in Sharia spread rapidly. This ideology sanctions child marriage, encourages the rape of non-Muslim girls, and demands death for anyone who leaves Islam. It is fundamentally incompatible with the principles and protections of the United States Constitution.


In Washington, the Sharia-Free America Caucus—which I co-founded with Rep. Chip Roy—is advancing legislation to ensure American law remains the only law of the land. That is why, ahead of America’s 250th anniversary, I introduced the Preserving Our Constitution Act. This bill would prohibit courts and adjudicative bodies from recognizing or enforcing any foreign laws, religious laws, customs, or practices that conflict with the Constitution or with federal and state law.


Now more than ever, Americans are recognizing the threat posed by Sharia. Our Caucus continues to grow, now with 68 members representing 25 states. Every day I hear from citizens who are engaging their elected officials about the spread of Sharia-based influence in their communities. That is why this work remains so important.


As Texas goes, so goes the nation. And as the nation goes, so goes the world. We have seen the consequences of radical Islam in countries such as France and the United Kingdom. The Sharia-Free America Caucus is committed to ensuring America never follows that path. I will continue fighting to keep Texas—and our nation—true to the Constitution.

Trump Calls Iranian Officials 'Savages' After Latest Executions Of Protesters

President Donald Trump condemned Iran's leadership after the execution of two protesters over the weekend, calling officials "savages" amid a widening crackdown on dissent during the war with the United States.

Iran's judiciary announced on July 19 that two men were executed over their alleged involvement in violence linked to anti-government protests that began in December and intensified in January amid widespread economic discontent.

Trump reposted several messages on his Truth Social platform about the executions of Erfan Esfandiari and Gol Mohammad Mohammadi, including one where he reposted a message about Mohammadi's execution while adding: "The latest one of 52,000, plus, innocent protesters. Savages!!!" Read more HERE

Just read the above comic about 7 hours after I posted it. It is hardcore I guess. Many of Chick Tracts are; not all of them though. I do not know what they are talking about in most of this tract. It seems to be designed for people very knowledgeable about the Muslim religion. 

I prayed for the protesters outload almost everyday of the week to be successful since January. Mostly I prayed for the Iran government to stop killing the protesters. I have not prayed about the protesters for months; regularly. I did not know the Iran people were protesting until about a week ago. I do promise to pray more now. When I pray for the Iran protesters to be successful I expect them to be honor bound solders. Great solders are men of honor. Men of honor do not kill prisoners or treat them unkindly like common criminals. They take them prisoners for fair trials.  We can always pray.

Warning these comics and tracts contain information that may offend a devout Muslim totally unwilling to entertain information that may refute their religion. If you are offended by anti-Muslim Chistian Tracts do not click this link below.

It was never my intention to offend people just to inform them and try to lead them to be saved.

I made these copys Tracts for Muslim people to help them more than anyone ever could.
