In Arizona churches were opened May 17. Of the three churches I surveyed, all three were over half full, no masks, lots of hugging. Many folks feel like the whole thing was political.

He is effectively threatening lawsuits, grants, and even military action against them.

As much as I would like to see a military occupation and subsequent Reconstruction of California, and others that isn’t going to happen!

They are worried about liability.

Huh?

Isn't getting sick an Act of GOD?

Agreed. I need to start practicing with my church pianist for singing God Bless America for Independence Day.

I doubt that the president has any authority to force a church to reopen. All he might be able to do is override the governors’ decisions to keep them closed. Then it is the churches’ choice.

My church closed before the lockdown. It seems to me it was their choice then, so they may feel it’s their choice now. I’m sure they will do the right thing. They have always been blessed.

1st and 14th amendments give him authority that is clear to anyone who didn’t go to one of the subpar Ivy universities.

If a state violates your first amendment rights, Trump can indeed act against them.

And now the revolutionary socialist governors have to decide, do they appear to obey Trump? Or do they fight him for the right to close churches?

He has boxed them in.

As for leaning on governors financially California is losing billions if not a Trillion and no the democratic machine does not seem to care**************

Newsom thinks he can get the feds to give him one trillion or so.

He spends 50B or so on non citizens living in CA

And more billions on a train to nowhere.

His duty is to redirect that money to important legal uses.

But he will say if the gov doesn’t give him money he will have to cut funds to police and fire services

SOP for dems in power.

Oh and he needs to bring in ICE to deport illegal aliens.

I think Peoria county has 8 deaths. I see perhaps 1% of people wearing masks outside or in their cars. Very weird.

There are a LOT of people walking and biking outside. You see whole families walking or biking together. I’m out every day with my dog for 40 minutes to an hour.

Good info, thanks.

re your tagline:

Ephesians 6:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
