This kind of corruption and depravity is now commonplace in far-Left California. It’s no wonder why the citizens of this once great state are leaving in droves.
Last month, a federal appeals court decided 2 to 1 Thursday to uphold Gov. Gavin Newsom’s coronavirus restrictions on indoor worship during the pandemic.

CA Judge Orders San Diego Strip Clubs To Reopen As Churches Fight For Same Right
By Daily Wire, November 19, 2020
A judge ordered strip clubs reopened in San Diego earlier this month, leading a lawyer from a law firm representing multiple churches in California to protest what he described as “a constitutional travesty.”
San Diego Superior Court judge Joel R. Wohlfeil issued a temporary restraining order against Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Diego County that orders them to cease any action that prevents such establishments from “being allowed to provide live adult entertainment,” according to The Washington Free Beacon.
The court found that the entertainment at the two strip clubs involved in the case is “constitutionally protected speech” and concluded that “the harm to [the strip clubs] if the Application is denied is greater than the harm to [the government] if the Application is granted.”
Paul Jonna, an attorney with the Thomas More Society, which is representing several churches in California that are fighting to maintain their right to peaceably assemble, told the Free Beacon: “If you’re going to accept that argument that dancing nude is protected speech that’s so significant that it overcomes the government’s interest in regulating its citizens with COVID-19 orders, then obviously the divine worship of God, which is expressly mentioned in the First Amendment, should be held to a higher standard.”
In a statement provided to The Daily Wire, Jonna went on:
This is a constitutional travesty that must be immediately rectified. As one California judge aptly noted – you can’t treat a church like a hair salon because churches are entitled to greater protection under the Constitution. And you certainly can’t treat a church like a strip club. In California, churches are being treated worse than strip clubs. The constitutional right to worship God is infinitely more important than any right to entertainment.
“We will not rest until we fully vindicate the fundamental constitutional right to worship God without government interference,” Jonna added.
Pastor John MacArthur, who pastors Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, 120 miles north of San Diego, has been battling state and local authorities in court after he reopened his church in July. In response, the county has seemingly targeted him for retribution.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn said that “within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology, hatred of God is the principal driving force, more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions… Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to communist policy; it is not a side effect, but the central pivot.”
Solzhenitsyn said that before the communist revolution in Russia, “Faith was the shaping and unifying force of the nation,” and the religious culture was the moral foundation that held society together..
Solzhenitsyn said when he was a child, “I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”

Either strip clubs pay big money to the demmie war lords, or they are possessed by demons who are just taking revenge against the Christians by such a move. Otherwise, such a move really doesn’t make much sense.

Everything they say about California is true, but it is confined to the coast. Once you go further inland, sanity returns.

Kudos to pastor John MacArthur, who has had the guts to stand up to the tyranny of this state. The fact that more, if not all churches in CA aren’t doing the same, is baffling. Every one of them should have brought court action after this latest round of shutdowns. Churches should have the same protections as hospitals. They are that critical. Especially in times like this. The fact that they have been continually targeted, only shows this “pandemic” is looking a lot more like a political power show than a race to protect citizens from getting a virus. While people sit on cold picnic tables to listen to their pastors, the Almighty One, Newsom, is dining in comfort at a $600 a plate meal, sans mask. The hypocrisy has reached criminal levels in this BS state!

No more so than Nohio’s little mikki da-whiner. He called for the 10:00 curfew before even Newsom. Are they in a race to see which one can be the biggest LITTLE tyrannical despots?

Yes but, does mikki da-whiner have the French Laundry, like Newsom has, to go to. You know, the nice restaurant that costs about $600 a person and has indoor dining, unlike all the rest of CA, where we must all eat on the freezing patio.

I stand corrected. Peas and carrots are NOT $300.00. A side dish of peas and carrots runs Three Hundred TEN dollars.

I’ll bet not ONE mosque has been closed anywhere in Californication due to COVID-19 restrictions. Liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries are essential businesses as well so why not strip clubs? The dancers have to work after all! Those poles aren’t going to climb themselves!
