Trump task force vows to ‘end anti-Christian bias’

Federal employees have reportedly been asked to report instances of such discrimination among colleagues

The White House has launched a task force to investigate the alleged anti-Christian bias within federal agencies, directing employees to report perceived discrimination against Christians among their colleagues, according to media reports.

US President Donald Trump mandated the creation of what is called theTask Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in an executive order in February. The task force is meant to identify policies and actions across federal departments that have unlawfully discriminated against Christians, according to the document.

“The Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christianswhile ignoring violent anti-Christian offenses,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said at the task force’s inaugural meeting on Tuesday.

Christians under the administration of Joe Biden were subjected to abuse and spying from federal agencies, she claimed.

Thetask force will identify “unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices or conduct across the government,” as well as “find and fix deficiencies in existing and regulatory practices,”Bondi said.

Federal employees have reportedly received instructions to report instances of this kind of discrimination among their colleagues.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has requested that their workers relay instances of “anti-Christian” bias, complete with names, dates and locations to a government email address, The Guardian wrote on Tuesday, citing an internal email from the body.

A similar internal memo was circulated among US State Department staff, Politico reported earlier this month.

Several senior members of Trump’s administration are devout Christians, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. A large share of white American Christians supported Trump's presidential bid, according to a Pew Research study from last year.

The US president himself was raised Presbyterian, but announced himself a non-denominational Christian in 2020.After surviving an assassination attempt, and having several plots on his life foiled during his 2024 reelection campaign,Trump hasrepeatedly said that God spared his life.

The majority of Americans, 62%, identify as Christian, while around 30% are non-religious, and 7% belong to non-Christian religions, according to a Pew Research study from February.

‘EU wants war, not talks’ – Kremlin

The bloc has opposed efforts by Moscow and Washington to broker a peace deal in the Ukraine conflict, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

The EU has been obstructing US-Russian diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine conflict, working instead to prolong the hostilities, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

He made the remarks in an interview with French magazine Le Point on Wednesday.

According to Peskov, theEU has clearly shown that it lacks independence, and it seemed “the whole continent” was working for the administration of former US President Joe Biden after the Ukraine conflict escalated in 2022.

Things changed after Donald Trump returnedto the White House in January, Peskov said, adding that now“Washington is talking about peace” while the “Europeans only talk about war.”

Moscow and Washington have held multiple rounds of high-level meetings this year focused on achieving a peace deal. Meanwhile,the EU’s stance has been widely seen as undermining any chance of a breakthrough. Western European defense chiefs, led by the UK and France, met this month to discuss deploying a “reassurance” force to Ukraine, despite warnings from Moscow.

In March, the European Commission proposed an $840 billion rearmament plan to deter Russia and maintain military aid to Kiev.

Moscow has repeatedly criticized the EU’s arms supplies to Ukraine and condemned plans to deploy troops, accusing the bloc of trying to expand its military presence and prolong the conflict instead of pursuing a settlement.

Asked whether Russia would accept the EU at the negotiating table, Peskov replied, “There’s nothing to negotiate –Europe wants war, not talks. We’re not going to force them!”

He also said, “Europeans wanted to teach us democracy, criticizing [President Vladimir] Putin nonstop,” adding “we no longer want any lectures from Europeans! We don’t want hypocrites telling us what to do!”

Russian officials insist that Ukraine recognizing the territorial “reality on the ground” is key to achieving a lasting peace. Moscow further requires that Kiev demilitarize, denazify, maintain neutrality and stay out of NATO.

Putin outlined Russia’s demands in July, Peskov recalled,stressing “whether peacefully or militarily, we will achieve them.”

(Good strategy, telling the EU they are not independent, may force some of the countries in the EU may diverge to the expected agreement on Ukraine. ==Most of these countries hate Ukraine and want nothing to do with it, it’s a Mafia state for the EU. No matter how long they drag this out, the EU countries will revolt on the money being spent on this fake conquest of Russia. It will never happen and soon the EU will learn how Ukraine will try to blackmail them; and how they will turn on Ukraine and the oligarchs. The EU has every record of illegal things the oligarchs are still doing in Ukraine.)

Anons, Lightning storms coming through GA tonight, it might be a replay of GA Guidestones, I hope

Georgia Guidestones explosion: Officials release video, destroy remaining portion over 'safety concerns'

Georgia Guidestones hit with 'explosive device,' investigators say

July 7, 2022 7:29am EDT

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has released surveillance video in the search for those responsible for setting off an explosion at the Georgia Guidestones monument, which they now say has been completely demolished over "safety concerns."

The 19-foot-high granite tourist attraction in Elberton — which the state says is known as "America's Stonehenge" — was damaged early Wednesday after "unknown individuals detonated an explosive device," according to the agency.

(Were the statues on Easter island 19’ tall?)

"For safety reasons, the structure has been completely demolished," the Georgia Bureau of Investigation later said while releasing the videos which show the blast and a silver car fleeing the scene.

Georgia’s tourism website says the monument "displays a 10-part message espousing the conservation of mankind and future generations in 12 languages."

The remaining standing portion of the Georgia Guidestones monument has been destroyed over "safety concerns," officials say.

"The Guidestones also serve as an astronomical calendar, and every day at noon the sun shines through a narrow hole in the structure and illuminates the day’s date on an engraving," it added.

The attraction gained renewed attention in May when Kandiss Taylor, a Republican candidate for governor, claimed the stones were satanic and included destroying them as part of her platform, according to the Associated Press.

Law enforcement officials walk around the damaged Georgia Guidestones monument near Elberton, Ga., on Wednesday, July 6.

"God is God all by Himself. He can do ANYTHING He wants to do. That includes striking down Satanic Guidestones," Taylor tweeted Wednesday.

Musk and Bessent had ‘WWE fight’ in White House – Axios

The two clashed over who should control the Internal Revenue Service

Tech billionaire Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent were involved in a heated shouting match inside the White House last week, reportedly trading expletives and personal insults during a confrontation over leadership of the IRS, according to Axios.

The incident reportedly unfolded in the West Wing on Thursday,within earshot of President Donald Trump and visiting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.The two men argued over Trump’s recent decision to name Gary Shapley, Musk’s preferred candidate, as acting IRS commissioner –a move that blindsided Bessent, who had lobbied for his deputy, Michael Faulkender.

“It was two billionaire, middle-aged men thinking it was WWE in the hall of the West Wing,” one witness told Axios on Wednesday.

Musk reportedly accused Bessent – a former partner at Soros Fund Management and the founder of Key Square Group – of being a “Soros agent.” Bessent “roared” back, at one point allegedly shouting “F**k you,” to which Musk replied, “Say it louder.”

The clash did not escalate into physical violencebut was “loud” enough to be heard throughout nearby offices, according to multiple sources. Witnesses said an aide had to physically step between the two men to prevent the situation from intensifying.

White House Press SecretaryKaroline Leavitt downplayed the incident, telling The New York Times that “disagreements are a normal part of any healthy policy process,” and that “ultimately, everyone knows they serve at the pleasure of President Trump.”

Bessent ultimately came out on top, with Shapley replaced by Faulkender just days after the appointment.

“Trust must be brought back to the IRS, and I am fully confident that [Deputy Secretary] Michael Faulkender is the right man for the moment,” Bessent said on X Friday afternoon. “Gary Shapley’s passion and thoughtfulness for approaching ways to create durable and lasting reforms at the IRS is essential to our work, and he remains among my most important senior advisors at the [US Treasury] as we work together to rethink and reform the IRS.”

The altercationhighlights long-standing tensions between Musk and Bessent, dating back to the presidential transition, when Musk unsuccessfully pushed for Howard Lutnick to lead the Treasury Department. Trump instead appointed Bessent and nominated Lutnick to head the Commerce Department. Since then, Musk and Bessent have clashed repeatedly over personnel and policy, including Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutting initiative, which Bessent argues has failed to deliver on its promises.
