Bishop William Barber, missouri, Warrensburg

“…America has a heart problem and is in need of a moral movement…”

Bishop William Barber

On Monday evening Bishop William Barber spoke in Warrensburg on the campus of the University of Central Missouri.

…Considered the architect of the Moral Movement, [Bishop William Barber] is a sought-after speaker who has presented keynote remarks at hundreds of events across the nation. He has been described by media as “one of the most prominent – and relentless advocates for poor people,” and is engaged in leadership posts for many organizations that address social issues, pursue justice, build community and promote public healing. Such service includes positions as President and Senior Lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, an ecumenical activist group which trains and organizes religious leaders across the nation; co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival; Bishop with the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries; Visiting Professor at Union Theological Seminary and Senior Fellow at Auburn Seminary, in New York City.

Barber began his ministry as pastor of the Greenleaf Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Goldsboro, North Carolina, where he has served for nearly 30 years, and has been part of efforts that have raised more than $12 million for community development. He also is a prolific author, having written four books: “We are Called to be a Movement”; “Revive Us Again: Vision and Action in Moral Organizing”; “The Third Reconstruction: Moral Mondays, Fusion Politics, and the Rise of the New Justice Movement”; and “Forward Together: A Moral Message for the Nation.”

He gained national attention for initiating in 2013 weekly Moral Monday protests at the North Carolina General Assembly, which were revived in 2018 under the Poor People’s Campaign banner. In the early 1960s, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with help from others, created the Poor People’s Campaign through protests that called for a moral agenda and a moral budget that took place at state capitals and in Washington, D.C. Over the past four years, millions of people have participated in Poor People’s Campaign events nationwide….

Remarks:

Bishop William Barber

“…Here we are. We look at where we are in this moment….obscene levels of income and wealth in the hands of a few, the rapidly growing concentration of ownership and the incredible and dangerous power that billionaires have over our political systems. We can hardly be called a democracy when a handful of the wealthiest people in this country can spend as much as they want to to influence an election…”

Bishop William Barber

“…We need a moral movement. We need a moral movement that uses moral language. I’m so sick of this, are you left, are you right, are you Democrat, are you Republican. What about are you caring? Are you loving? Do you have concern for people because they are human beings? Some of this stuff we don’t need to talk about as policy. We need to use the language that scripture uses, we need the language that Jesus uses. Some stuff is wrong. Some stuff is unjust. Some stuff is evil. Or like the Declaration of Independence, it says when there has been a long train of abuses. We need to start talking about policies that deny people health care is abusive. It’s an abuse of power. A malfunction of the democratic process to use power to hurt people. There’s something wrong when you want to use religion in the service of hate and injury. We need a moral movement…”

Define globalist, Josh. Explain your dog whistle to us.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Billions to Ukraine, no oversight. The neocons and globalists learned nothing from Afghanistan. I am introducing legislation to create a special oversight watchdog just for Ukraine – track every penny – and report to the people where it’s going
[….]
8:56 AM · Feb 27, 2023

Some of the responses:

You are a traitor and a putin loyalist

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

The sky is falling – Monday’s edition
[….]

putin will love this

Could you also develop an oversight committee to track where all of your salary is spent? Because Missouri is NOT getting their money’s worth from you in the job you are doing.

Hi Mr running man! How’s the jogging?

Josh Hawley is a #RussianAsset

What is a globalist?

A term used as a dog whistle.

Run Josh Run.

When does your committee on how to organize a coup and overthrow a government and stop a fair and partial election meet?

January 5, 2021.

Equating Ukraine to Afghanistan is breathtakingly cynical and mendacious – a new low even for you.

How about an oversight committee to investigate your part in trying to overthrow the 2020 election!

Hawley – yet another GOP Russian asset.

There is oversight and the military and non military aide is making a huge difference in helping Ukraine defend their homeland. I remember when republicans stood for countries that fought for their freedom.

Self-promote much?

Always.

Were you one of the ones against oversight of the PPP loan program?

Run Josh Run.

You are a cowardly fraud.

Translation: I’m doing nothing except making appearances on right wing news shows and tweet-whining.

Same routine different day. Bit yawn Josh.

Josh has a book to sell.

It’s almost like you hate democracy.

Almost?

You realize most Americans think you are a clown.

Heh.

Ah yes, yes, the man who ran away like a coward, speaking on topics he has no idea what they mean. How much is Putin paying you, seditionist?

Why is a US Senator pushing Russian propaganda?

it’s a lie to suggest there is no oversight Running Man.

Josh is so spoiled that he doesn’t even recognize the value of democracy in Ukraine…or even here at home.

I’d like a little oversight……do you actually reside in the State you represent?

“Hawley doesn’t even live here”

Heh.

Traitor who cut and ran says what?

Again with the anti-semitic dog whistles. Very embarrassing for Missouri, Senator. STL has a large jewish community who deserve better. #VoteBlue2024

Neocons? 48 GOP senators; 37 voted in favor of aid to Ukraine. 150 plus GOP House members voted in favor of aid to Ukraine. They are not “neocons” or “globalists”. They are the majority…of your party. Only a supporter of authoritarian rule would support the Russian invasion

Are you trying to help Putin? #Traitor

There is oversight. You are lying. Administration knows exactly where that money goes. Btw helping to fund Ukraines fight together w our western Allies is a bargain in degrading Putin’s military might. Its a prepayment to saving democracy. Unless of course I U care less abt that

There’s plenty of oversight, Little Running Man seditionist, traitor and antisemite. You just don’t like Democrats overseeing the spending in an effort to defeat your pal Putin.

HB 634: Don’t Say Gay

Ann Kelley, Bigotry, Don't Say Gay, General Assembly, HB 634, LGBTQA+, missouri, school micromanagement

A bill, sponsored by Ann Kelley (r):

HB 634
Establishes protections of parental rights to direct the mental, emotional, and physical health and well-being of children
Sponsor: Kelley, Ann (127)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2023
LR Number: 0414H.02I
Last Action: 02/15/2023 – Referred: Elementary and Secondary Education(H)
Bill String: HB 634
Next House Hearing: Elementary and Secondary Education
Date: 3/1/2023 Time: 8:00AM Location: House Hearing Room 7 – Submit Testimony
Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

There’s a committee hearing on Wednesday.

Seem innocuous? Not really. From the bill text [pdf]:

[….]
4. No classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties relating to sexual orientation or gender identity shall occur.
[….]

(2) If a concern is not resolved by the school under subdivision (1) of this subsection, a pupil’s parent may:

(a) Request the state board of education to appoint a neutral mediator from a list maintained by the department. Any mediator on such list shall be a member of the Missouri Bar in good standing and have at least five years of experience in administrative law. The mediator shall determine facts relating to the dispute over the school’s procedure or practice, consider information provided by the school, and render a recommended decision for resolution to the state board within fifteen days after receipt of the parent’s request for appointment of a mediator. The state board shall approve or reject the recommended decision at its next regularly scheduled meeting that is more than seven calendar days and no more than thirty days after the date the recommended decision is transmitted to the state board or at a meeting called by the state board president for the purpose of approving or rejecting such recommended decision. The costs of the mediator shall be borne by the school. The state board shall adopt rules and develop forms necessary to implement this paragraph;
or
(b) Bring an action against the school requesting a declaratory judgment that the school procedure or practice violates this section and seeking appropriate injunctive relief or actual damages, or both. A court may award damages and shall award reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs to a parent who receives declaratory or injunctive relief.
[….]

[emphasis added]

Because bullies in school always follow the “appropriate” guidelines as promulgated by the right wingnut majority in the Missouri House of Representatives?

“…The costs of the mediator shall be borne by the school…” Yep, that’ll ensure school administrators will always do the right thing for a child. Not.

Ann Kelley (r) really likes to micromanage K-12 schools.

ICYMI: A clean debt ceiling increase is a gift to communist China.

Read my OPED with @repkevinhern explaining how the national debt is a massive security concern
[….]
11:11 AM · Feb 23, 2023

Still with the balloon. You know it was shot down, no one was hurt, and we have the pieces and parts, right?

Is it the hat? The stellar career as a newsreader on a morning show? Just asking.

An open public town hall in the district would be epic.

Some of the responses:

Repeal the unwise tax cuts for billionaires trump put in place .

Who writes op-ed in all uppercase like a monster?

We have no idea.

Cut the crap, if you know how to fix budget deficit come up with a proposal on where the cuts can be made. If not, not raising the debt ceiling would be the greatest gift to China, ruining $ status as global reserve currency that gave us the advantage of not borrowing yuan

Go to bed Mark. This is way above your level of comprehension. Stick to, “we will be back after this word from Price Chopper.”

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

Some of the responses:

This is neither clever nor good photoshop, at least two people in your office said it was fine but what they meant was it’s not great but they don’t have a better idea for what you pitched to them.

I heard you comparing the canceling of Newsmax to the holocaust. You know what I haven’t heard from you? And actual plan to fix inflation or border issues.

Has Twitter turned our politicians to trash or have they always been trash?

They are completely unrelated. Just another dumb republican joke.

Stop tweeting shit and write a fucking bill

So where’s your bill undoing trump’s de-regulation of RR

#OhioTrainDisaster #ohiotrainderailment
#OhioChemicalDisaster
#Ohiochernobyl

I’m a MAGA House member, I scream 24/7 since Day 0 of the Biden admin claiming he a Commie that hates America and is responsible for Global Inflation and that Baby Jesus Trump whom used 3 branches of government to overthrow it is our Christ. LOL, y’all are some FREAKS.

Only completely brainwashed maga believe POTUS can cause global inflation

This liar is part of the problem

Fascist pig, Josh Hawley, right wingnut, seditionist, social media, U.S. Senate, Virginia

“…We with American ideals demand that our government shall be returned to the American people who founded it…” – February 20, 1939

Today, from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The Republican Party can be the party of Ukraine and globalists or the party of East Palestine and working Americans. Not both
9:22 AM · Feb 24, 2023

Some of the responses:

This is exactly why you’re unfit for your job. The two are not mutually exclusive. Oh, and the Christofascist dog whistle and treason too — but mostly this tweet.

Buddy one of your most visible members has spent the week laying out her vision for the country to split up.

Walking and chewing gum is hard, isn’t it, Josh?

A U.S. senator can champion the peaceful transfer of power or can raise a fist to a seditious anti-police mob. Not both.

I’m sure the GOP can walk and chew gum at the same time, Senator, even if you can’t.

The political leaders who gutted safety rules for trains carrying hazardous materials are the same political leaders doing Putin’s bidding in Ukraine. You don’t think we see you, running man?

Why do you think so poorly of America?

Wow. You really think the greatest nation on earth, with all our American exceptionalism can’t do two things at once? Like cheer on insurrectionists and then run from them on the same day?

Are you serious? Now, who exactly does this play to? If you are listening to this man please pay close attention to this con-man-style rhetoric and what he must think of you. #FlemFlamMan #CarpetBagPolitics

Fascist pigs are always serious.

That’s a crock, Josh. Just admit it, you want Putin to be Putin anywhere he pleases. Zelenskyy is the modern day Churchill.

This is absolutely the most asinine comment I’ve ever seen from you! If you are trying to incite & mislead, you are getting in the lane of @RepMTG and @Jim_Jordan. Do you want to go that low?!

Josh (r) considers that a feature, not a bug.

You’re from the party of traitors. Take a seat and stay there, or run, like you did on January 6.

It is astounding how little you believe in the capacity of our country to do great things. Our Greatest Generation understood that. You? You cower under its weight.

We can and should do both. You can’t have one without the other.

I’m pretty sure that, right now, it’s the party of “live the exact way I want you to live or I’ll try to slowly strip away your rights until you comply”.

You can be a coward or you can be brave, but you can’t be both – you’ve proven to be a coward, obviously (see video of you sprinting to safety on 1/6 after pumping your fists in solidarity with your insurrectionists).

The Republican Party can’t be the party of Ukraine and globalists or the party of East Palestine and working Americans because the Republican Party is the party of Putin and the party of oligarchs and fascism.

You’re an insurrectionist and a spineless coward. Sit back down.

Or the Republicans could just move to Moscow since they enjoy spending the 4th of July there.

Josh Hawley can either be a traitor or a traitor, or both.

Heh. We see what you did there.

The Party that reduced regulations so their donors made more money want to be the party of the people that got hurt by their action…

or you could just say the republican party and putin are one

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

Johs Hawley sure is acting like a Russian intelligence asset and propaganda shill…

Actually you’re the party of insurrectionists, traitors and immorality
#RUNNINGMAN

We have always been both, Josh. You are just too disinterested in history to realize it. Do better, #Missouri.

Trump changed the rules that led to the train company avoiding upgrading its braking system. The GOP owns responsibility for the disaster. Deregulation is not good for the country. You also align with Putin, which is also against America. Not surprising for someone with 1/6/21.
[….]

You have no idea of America’s part in democracy and the world. Especially, democracy. You should be in jail for sedition.

That’s really sad that your party cannot handle paying attention to foreign policy and infrastructure at the same time. Though I suppose it’s to be expected since you typically fail to handle either one on their own.

Your party created the conditions that caused the mess in East Palestine. Your party has always put biz business over working Americans. That’s why Dems have always been the party of working Americans. So don’t try to con people.

You, however, can be both an insurrectionist AND a coward.
[….]

If the GOP can’t figure out how to support Ukraine’s fight for democracy/sovereignty, help our fellow citizens in Ohio & legislate stricter laws & oversight to the railroads so this kind of preventable tragedy doesn’t occur again, then step aside. This is literally your job.

See here’s the thing, in order to be in government for a country such as the US one needs to be able to balance work at home with Diplomacy over seas. This is why you can’t win the popular vote in the presidential election, you’re incapable of doing the job.

“globalist” Josh you and I both know what that’s coded to mean what kind of audience are you after?

Not both? Man. I wish we had elected people that could do more than one thing at a time.

Let’s fix that…
The Republican Party can be the party of Ukraine and globalists or the party of Putin. Not both

You are the party of running away

How do you live with yourself? You are ok with letting innocent people in Ukraine die in order to score political points. You are the worst of the worst.

Why not both-both are national priorities-defending democracy and helping those who face an environmental disaster because a corporation tried to cut corners to make money-Republicans do not care about anything but power!

Narrator: He means Jews

This is the very best tweet you’ve ever made. It’s really simple – take care of America first.

Uh…

The Republican Party helped to roll back the safety regulations that would have prevented the derailment in East Palestine. So since all the @GOP keeps saying they stand with East Palestine I guess that means you will all be voting yes to put back in those safety regulations

Speak for yourself. I have empathy for the people of Ukraine. And want to help any country wanting Democracy.

According to #Ladderboy when Russia wants Alaska back… I guess we just give it to them.

Josh can be a cheerleader for the insurrectionists and a track star at the same time.

Thank you Sen. Hawley for playing into the hands of the Russian Federation

Why would you limit America’s potential? Oh yeah, you are driving a wedge to separate people.

Globalist. John Birch called. They want 1964 back.

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

222341 02/23/2023 Missouri Agrees Jack Danforth 911 Tirrill Farms Road St Louis MO 63124 Dowd Bennett Attorney 2/23/2022 $10,291.00

C222341 02/23/2023 Missouri Agrees Cathi Brain 815 West 51st St Kansas City MO 64112 Not employed 2/23/2022 $9,000.00

$10,291.00? What’s with that?

From a conversation on social media:

Well, yeah, but they [the PAC] ain’t exactly “grassroots” at this point. They filed a “limited activity” report in January and then a single $10,000 contribution shows up. They claim to have raised $200,000 so far.

So their web site still doesn’t tell us much that’s useful – and they appear to have communications staff.

RSMo § 115.199 requires that the local election authority remove deceased registered voters from their rolls. If they’re not doing it locally, get a writ of mandamus.

I’m not convinced by their stated “solutions”/ask list to their perceived problems.

Uh, voters decide if candidates are “similar” or not. This PAC appears to be constituted to oppose ranked choice voting. All the other stuff is chaff.

School board elections as a model? Heh. The voter turnout for school board elections is an exemplar for grassroots democracy, right?

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Earlier this week:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
—George Washington
5:18 PM · Feb 20, 2023

Oh, really?

Some of the responses:

Who wants to tell him he’s the meat processing plant of this quote?

Heh. Someone won the internets on Monday.

Enemy of free speech Eric Schmitt explains why he does it.

Again, which party is banning books, words, and black history??? #GOPLies

Which party is censoring books in schools and libraries? Which party is attempting to censor what courses can be taught in universities and how they can be taught. Hint, it’s Schmitt’s party. If the books haven’t yet been removed, check out Germany in the 1930s.

So… why don’t you and yours support freedom of speech, then?

Cool, when’s your next public town hall?

I agree with the Washington quote, Eric the Grifter. The irony is that the 1st Amendment also protects your right to lie to your constituents and you have been taking heavy advantage of that. BTW, today is Washington’s Birthday (federal holiday). Enjoy.

Says the party of book banning

Exactly what YOU are doing to #Missourians

Your party wants to ban books and limit what schools can teach.

You mean like banning books?

Heh.

I wonder what Washington would think about y’all’s book bans.. Don’t you Eric?

And yet you want to ban books?

I can google quotes by Presidents too.

“Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet.” – Abraham Lincoln

Is that why you’re banning books and regulating public libraries?

“Guard against the impostures of pretended Patriotism”
—George Washington

Fox news put out lies as if it were news. They talked among themselves about how this is false but put it out as true anyway .

Telling known lies while acting as a news organization is not the First amendment .

And with freedom if speech comes responsibility. You have the freedom to speak but there are consequences for irresponsible words. @FoxNews is learning those consequences as we speak.

Is that why the GOP is banning books, defunding education, and trying to silence anyone who disagrees with your fascistic proclivities?

Weird for a book banner like you to be quoting people speaking directly against your actions.

Focus on that oath you took to upload our Constitution, not the promise you made to prostitute yourself in service of MAGA.

Too late.

You’re free to stop tweeting nonsense and actually do something. Clown
