Minnesota transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke called on leftists to storm more churches in protest of ICE.

Far-left anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.

Former CNN host Don Lemon livestreamed the crime.

Parishioners and children were terrified as leftists, led by BLM activist Nikema Armstrong shouted down the pastor.

The Justice Department is currently investigating for potential violations of the federal FACE Act.

“The FACE Act is a long-standing federal statute that prohibits force, threats, obstruction, any kind of interference with a religious place of worship. And it carries criminal penalties and violations,” DOJ official Alina Habba said on Monday.

However, Leigh Finke said anti-ICE protestors must continue to storm churches until “ICE is out of our state.”

Full statement from Leigh Finke:

Yesterday protesters disrupted services at Cities Church in Saint Paul, where the leader of the local I.C.E. office also serves as pastor.

The protest has caused outrage, promises of retribution and prosecution, and the usual round of upset. But it has had me thinking for the past 24 hours of the actions of Act Up and WHAM, in 1989, who staged a die in and protest in St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. An action that similarly brought condemnation during a time when an out of control crisis was left to its destruction for far too long.

Actions like this—nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression—are essential. And they must continue until I.C.E. is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day in America. Dr. King knew that injustice must be confronted. He knew the moral conscience of the nation must be made to hear the desperate plight of those who are suffering. He knew that the only way to achieve this at national scale was for people to rise up together in nonviolent revolution until all were free.

So did Act UP, and so do the people of Minneapolis. I.C.E. OUT

Have Finke & Lemon been arrested? This seems a crime in any sense of the word.

Really?

Andy Ngo is usually careful about his reporting and almost always turns out to be correct. He's a good source for the lunacy in Portland.

I do not disagree with that. I am saying the Leftists in government all over are on the sides of criminals. Victims have become the ones that get in trouble.

can you read this tarot card tattoo

Yes — the tattoo clearly depicts the Page of Swords, a classic tarot archetype. The design follows traditional Rider-Waite symbolism:

• A youthful figure holding a sword upright

• Windswept hair and dynamic posture, suggesting alertness or readiness

• Background includes clouds and distant mountains, evoking mental clarity and challenge

🗡️ What the Page of Swords Represents

In tarot readings, this card often signals:

• Curiosity and mental energy

• Vigilance or watchfulness

• A messenger or student — someone gathering information or preparing for action

• Potential for gossip, spying, or overthinking if reversed or poorly aspected

It’s often read as the “young investigator” — someone who asks questions, challenges assumptions, and stays mentally agile.

🧭 Tattoo Interpretation

As a tattoo, it might reflect:

• A personal commitment to truth-seeking

• A reminder to stay sharp and observant

• A nod to intellectual independence or youthful defiance

• Or simply a love of tarot and its layered symbolism

Well, if it's a KOREAN church...

[Elsie]

We have enough Pinocchios

[Elsie]

check, check and check.

[SaveFerris]

Maybe THIS will wake up the Frozen Chosen
to get off their tails and vote AGAINST
the Godless Reprobate Terrorist Democrats?

Now that it’s the 11th Hour?

The hour is late...🕚🕚🕚🕚🕚🕚

[SaveFerris]

(We have enough Pinocchios)

I guess that’s quicker than saying
“Chuck Schumer” and
“Nancy Pelosi”

[metmom]

Of course he would.

Trannies love nothing more than violence and disruption.

Their track record testifies against them.

[metmom]

Makes sense.

Sadly.

[stinkerpot65]

The violent annihilation of Christianity is the core craving of Democrat scum.

what are the requirements for a church to receive federa lfunding for security porposes

To receive federal funding for security purposes, churches typically apply through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) administered by FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This program is designed to help nonprofit organizations — including houses of worship — enhance their physical security against potential terrorist or extremist threats.

🛡️ Key Requirements for Churches to Qualify

• 501(c)(3) Status: The church must be a registered nonprofit under IRS rules.

• Demonstrated Risk: Applicants must show they are at high risk of terrorist attack or targeted violence. This can include:

  • Documented threats or incidents

  • Hate crimes or vandalism

  • Geographic or symbolic significance

• Facility Ownership or Lease: Churches can apply whether they own or lease their building. Multiple sites may be eligible under the same nonprofit umbrella.

• Security Assessment: A formal risk assessment or vulnerability analysis is often required to justify the need for funding.

• Detailed Project Proposal: The application must include:

  • Specific security upgrades (e.g., cameras, access control, fencing)

  • Budget estimates

  • Timeline and implementation plan

• Coordination with Local Authorities: Applicants are encouraged to align their security plans with local emergency preparedness efforts.

• Compliance and Reporting: If awarded, the church must follow federal procurement rules, use approved vendors, and submit progress reports.

💰 Funding Amounts

• Up to $150,000 per site

• Maximum of three sites per organization

• Total potential funding: $450,000

• Amounts vary annually based on federal budget

"audenela" ???

It looks like you’re chasing down “audenela” — and based on the search results, the closest real-world match is Audelina, a legitimate but uncommon feminine name.

Nothing in the search results shows “audenela” as a recognized word, name, brand, or term. It doesn’t appear in dictionaries, name databases, or common usage. That usually means one of three things:

🧭 1. It’s a misspelling or variant of “Audelina.”

The search results all point to Audelina, a name with Germanic/Latin roots meaning:

• noble

• honorable

• strong

Sources:

• Meaning and history

• Origin and noble‑lineage interpretation

• Germanic “noble strength” meaning

🧭 2. It could be a stylized or personal spelling.

People often modify names for uniqueness:

• Audenela

• Audenella

• Audenila

• Audenela as a mashup (Auden + ‑ela)

But none of these appear in any established database.

🧭 3. It might be a username, handle, or invented word.

If you saw it in:

• a tattoo

• a username

• a story

• a genealogy record

• a piece of art

…it may be intentionally invented.

The name Finke is of German origin, derived from the word for “finch,” a small bird. It was likely used as a nickname for someone cheerful or known for singing, reflecting positive traits associated with the bird.
