Critical Race Theory is divisive and un-American. As State Senator, David will investigate, expose and end CRT in Missouri schools.
If a light shampoo and rinse doesn’t work out. Oh, wait…

Leave anything else out? Just asking.
As a State Representative, David NEVER voted for a tax increase. As State Senator, David will continue to that legacy and expose wasteful government spending to provide bigger tax cuts in the future.
As for civilization, take it or leave it, but mostly leave it? Just asking.
David is a proud supporter of the NRA and proud to have a 100% Pro-Second Amendment voting record in the Missouri House of Representatives. As State Senator, David will continue fighting to protect your right to bear arms.

Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford
Tonight, I have voted “NO” on the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
[….] 8:13 PM · May 31, 2023
Some of the responses:
WE KNOW the former🍊(that you still defend [….]) did NOT give tax breaks to the working poor, He gave them to the RICH.. Is THAT what you’re hoping to accomplish as a Representative Mark??? Because that’s the way you are headed. CANNOT WAIT until YOU ARE VOTED OUT.
I can’t wait until Alford and Hawley are both in the unemployment line !
You voted yes on the rules though.
He knows most of his constituents won’t see that.
Thoughts and prayers…
Heh.
You should’ve stuck to reading news from a teleprompter, Mark.
Mark, you are just another MAGA Republican who is willing to see the United States default on its debt just to harm the Biden Administration.
Loud and clear – you don’t support honoring debts.
This is sad. MO needs to do better.
You are against fiscal responsibility. So sad.
As a MO constituent, you did not do what I would have wanted. You would rather put the economy in a recession and leave my mother’s ss income to be delayed. As for the 87,000 IRS agents, they were to be hired to process tax returns. You lie just like all the Republicans.
Why do you think China says: “the US government is broken”?
Is it because childish extremists would rather default the full faith and credit of the US rather than agree to a compromise?
I think it is- you’re playing right into China’s hands.
First paragraph – We have to keep up with China’s spending
Second paragraph – We need to cut our spending
Third paragraph – Other (not me) people to get spend money and that’s not fair.
Fourth paragraph – I’m trying to cut jobs
Fifth paragraph- I’m not a puppet (I’m a puppet)
Fat lot of good that did you.
Alford for default. Got it
You voted NO bc you have no backbone. You’d rather see the country go down in flames & blame the Dems instead of JUST HELPING PEOPLE. You’re afraid of China & yet you say you trust in God? You believe building up a war machine is as important as building a WALL? THAT’s NOT FAITH
You’re CHOOSING to let American kids go hungry! You’re CHOOSING for them to go without medical care! You’re CHOOSING to forget about Veterans & the elderly’s hard earned money taken for YOUR benefit..
You’re an irresponsible representative. You ran up the bill. Now pay it.
So you think sabotaging the world economy would’ve been a good thing? You need to find a new puppetmaster.
Reducing the IRS budget increased the debt because it means lower tax receipts. Hedge fund and venture capital people pay capital gains taxes on their income. The wealthy get tax deductions on private planes and yachts. Come on. Be serious.
Mark (r) missed that train a long time ago.
Such a Christian move. You and the rest of the #gop want to kill poor people, women, and seniors. #GOPwaronseniors
You voted to cut my healthcare, don’t pretend you care about veterans again.
No one’s reading all of that nonsense and your digital media team needs to replaced.
Without any irony whatsoever Mark had his staffer write some word vomit about why he’s a no vote the first line reads “After careful thought, deliberation, constituent consultation and prayer” What an absolute 🤡 does anyone believe he did any of those things?
What a piece of poop [….]! You rather see the US default and the American ppl suffer for your selfishness. You did not think about Voters and impact it will have on families and households not to receive their benefits/paycheck. Voters will not forget. #GOPClownShowContinues
[….]
Sad and pathetic but whatever I’m glad the bills will get paid without you buck passing hipocrites. You’ll be more than happy to deficit spend as long as goes to corporate greed or mililary grift.
Of course you did you useless tool. Only a fool like you would rely on ‘prayer’ to make your decisions instead of actual bona fide research.

I keep seeing folks saying that a trans lifestyle is being shoved down their throat. I have never had a trans person knock on my door and try to convert me. I have never had a trans person leave lit on my car. I’ve never had a trans person threaten me with fire if I don’t agree. 1:04 PM · May 29, 2023

Some of the responses:
Why can’t they just ignore it, like they do school shootings?
Every trans person I’ve ever met just wanted to blend in. Let people live their lives.
Somehow in their minds, other people simply existing is “shoving it down their throats.”
They want to be victims so badly.
I’ve never had a trans person suggest I should be trans like them.
Allowing trans people to exist in peace is apparently “shoving it down their throats”. Mmkay.
By “down their throats,” I think they mean, “having to acknowledge they share the same planet with.”
I think there has been a huge uptick in trans media being widely broadcast lately, but it isn’t by trans people, it’s by outraged right wingers constantly reposting trans content. They’re shoving it down their own throats.
LGBT+ people being allowed to exist is of course what’s really bothering the right.
I’ve never had a trans person leave a tip with a tract disguised as a twenty dollar bill
They said the same about gay people, and interracial marriage, and nonchristian families, etc.
People who create false narratives about lifestyles being forced upon them are usually the same people who fantasize about forcing their own preferences on others. These are the words used to justify oppression.
Ditto. And I’ve known trans people since the 1980s. Most of them are just plain helpful.
I wonder too, how many who say this are also in the group wanting to insist everyone must abide their definition of love and marriage. Yet do not see that as shoving their view in anyone else’s face.
These are the same people that said the same thing about interracial marriage and people being gay. They are bigots but they are trying to hide it by saying “I’m fine with it, I just don’t want to see it”. These are not serious or mature people.
A trans person lives in my house and I don’t feel like they’re forcing anything down my throat. They probably feel like I’m forcing sci-fi/fantasy shows down their throat. I think they’ll like Sandman once we start it though.
Yeah, funny how “Hi, I exist” is seen as the most horrible affront, while chasing someone down yelling about hellfire is supposed to be just fine
My trans students have been…students.
To a bigot, the mere existence of trans or other queer people openly being who they are is experienced as “shoved down my throat”. Just a continuation of their traditional view of “uppity” people of any stripe.
I’ve never had a trans person yelling through a megaphone to repent as I walk down the street
Neither have I. Weird. It’s almost like… they aren’t.
It’s all performative.
I’ve had a trans person knock on my door.
We invited her to her goddaughter’s birthday.
True. And I was just thinking that I‘ve never had a trans person tell me they were trans. Like they don’t even mention it if you aren’t all up in their business.
Yea. Queer people existing is simply too much for them.
I remember 15 years ago when they said “the gay agenda is being shoved down our throats!”. And 10 years ago. And yesterday
I also haven’t seen billboards and people on corners with signs indicating I must repent and become trans.
I’m hearing it’s like multi level marketing. Recruit 100 people and get a car.
I have met many people who are LBGTQ throughout my life. None have tried to convert me ever! They are some of the kindest most considerate people I have met. Their lifestyle differs from mine so be it. I accept people for who they are.
A group is up in arms about the Warrensburg Pride Festival scheduled for June 3, 2023. There will be drag shows on the program. You know, fancy costumes, theatrical makeup, show and pop music tunes. This is nothing new. There were Pride Festivals in Warrensburg in 2021 and 2022. After security concerns about threats were addressed the Warrensburg Pride Festival is proceeding with its original format.
These right wingnut busybodies had organized on-line to speak to the Warrensburg City Council during the public comment portion of the City Council’s evening meetings on April 24th and May 8th, asking them to limit or cancel the Pride Festival. A loosely organized group of LGBTQIA+ allies organized on-line to speak in support of the Pride Festival. The Warrensburg City Council listened.
Yesterday someone posted their upset on a Warrensburg community social media page:
[….]
It shocks me that the city of Warrensburg is ok with a
“family friendly” drag show. So disappointing!
There was much hilarity in over a thousand responses:
I’ve gone since they started 2 years ago!
If you don’t like it don’t go. But good on Warrensburg for being inclusive
Thanks for posting this! I didn’t know it was happening! [….] let’s go!
[….] exactly lol. I don’t think free advertisement was what they were going for but it’s what they got. [….]
I was disappointed when they canceled the family friendly. Nice to see we can take the family now.
you should be ashamed for still coming on Facebook just to take time out of your day to discriminate something you don’t even go to it’s childish grow up hun
Get a grip [….]. Imagine how much energy you’d have not being so full of hate.
Warrensburg is a very diversified community. Men dressing as women has been around for 100’s of years.
Thousands
It’s amazing on the last 2 that it’s become such a topic of ‘concern’.
And those so concerned haven’t got the brains to realize they didn’t care their whole lives until they were told it was bad by politics…and too blindsee they’ve been duped as pawns in an imaginary culture war.
Sounds like a fun time
[….] we are afraid of what we don’t know. I would say come and check it out, but I’d recommend therapy first!!
Imagine being a crotchety old woman and directing hate to something that has nothing to do with them. Go knit a blanket and watch fox and mind your own damn business for a change [….]
Saw RuPaul Drag Race guys at Hamburger Mary’s in Chicago a few years back, what a great show.
OMG
Worry about yourself [….]. I bet you’re a Christian who “only god can judge” too [….].
Imma just point that I’ve seen plenty of men dressed in drag around Warrensburg, year around too, and no one said a word. I’ve seen them at grocery stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, literally everywhere. Lived there nearly 20yrs. Not a single issue. Now all of a sudden it is? Why? Just cause they don’t match your beliefs, lifestyles and micro-managed thought processes? Like my mama told me growing, life ain’t fair and you are just gonna have to learn to get along with it. Let them have this. It’s not like our country is trying to actively kill them at every legal turn. Oh wait. Yes, they are.
Girl just say you don’t know how to have fun
18+ at 6 p.m., drag show starts at 6 p.m….lazy propagandaing but ok.
An explanation:
[….] this was originally an all ages event until threats were made towards the staff, performers and the venue supposedly for having an all ages show. At the same time a group of people in this town were attending city council meetings and demanding an ordinance be passed to make drag only for 21+.
With that Nclusion decided to make it 18+.
People became upset and offered to assist. Now that security has been heavily increased and a police presence will be at the event off and on the threat has been mitigated. The event will be all ages with 2 all age shows. After 5 pm the event will be cleared to check that no minors are in the building before the 6 pm adults only show.
Also, that group at the city council now wants to pass an ordinance banning all drag. [….] is a proud member of the group.
[….] wow that’s super gross behavior on their part. It’s seriously just people dressing up and having a fun time. The shows that are meant to be for 18+ are always super strict about it being specifically 18+ too. It isn’t like they just allow small children in for that. It doesn’t suprise me about burg at all but I’m glad that there are so many people who are open and loving moving out this way, it hasn’t always been like that.
Back to the main thread:
[….] it all started going downhill when they took down the old Arby’s sign.
It’s fitting your name is [….] lol. Love is love, clearly you don’t understand that.
Another branch:
it’s weird not only how obsessed you are with something you claim to be so against, but also how fixated you are on the sexual aspect of drag queens. You a lil curious there, sweetie? Having some confusing feelings?
Main thread:
If ya don’t like it don’t go
Oooh I hadn’t seen this yet! Thanks for sharing!
Shows like this are why I’m so glad to live in this community. Anyone who doesn’t like it? Well, there are plenty of other communities that will accept you.
We see what you did there.
Just let people live their life. If you don’t like it, don’t take your family or kids, let people be happy and enjoy the life God blessed us with. Love thy neighbor.
Don’t worry, no one descended to hell last year, everyone but the seven people across the street who spent their day miserable had a really good time
[2022 file photo]
Oh where do I begin? Well, first, you should get out more. Warrensburg is diversified AND inclusive! You might try it. Second, why should ANYONE’S way of life be excluded? Third, people usually eschew that which they don’t understand. [….]
I’m sorry you feel the need to project the way you feel about yourself onto others. It’s not hard to be kind. Give it a try.
Thank you for sharing we wouldn’t have known with out your negativity/hate! Grow up ……[….]
You know you don’t have to go to it. I’m disappointed in you for not realizing that the world does not revolve around you
I feel like we’ve all already had this conversation with someone like you. It’s boring now. We get it. You’re stuck in your ways. Good for you. Just remember.. it’s 2023.. Your Era is up. Get used to it, boomer.
We all have.
Wow!!! Who do you think you are right now?!?! I don’t insert myself into the crap on this page very often but that was to disrespectful!
So much better than the beauty pagents for children!!! If I’m able, I’ll make sure to make it a family event [….]
Grow up. Like seriously
Show me on the doll where the drag queen hurt you when you were a kid.
Oh that’s right, they didn’t nor will they ever. Stop hating on something you clearly don’t understand.
Look at all the free publicity you got for the show! What a boost for the community you have been, love. I have no doubt they appreciate you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Sounds like fun
So don’t go. How fucking hard is that?
It’s shocking that you feel like everyone should have to follow YOUR beliefs. Don’t like it? Don’t friggin go.
[….] This post didn’t go the way she thought it would.
[….]: I hate this thing
Also [….]: posts flyer so even more people know about the event! [….] The organizers thank you…because of YOU, more people will attend. Oopsies! [….]
There’s that.
I hope you’re ready to have your feelings hurt. If you’re not interested don’t go, nobody is forcing you. But I’m am so glad to have diversity close to my home. People are allowed to express theirselves just like you have in this post. I’m going to go off on a limb and guess you’re Christian.. what a shame if so. God wants us to love everybody or so I’ve been told. Much love to you and yours [….]
Thank you [….] had no idea this was happening here! Looks like it’s gonna be really fun! [….]
What is disappoint, is all of the so called adults that have decided this is a threat.
Grow up people
it’s 2023. get with the program.
Your whole profile is…yikes…
Don’t go, problem solved
Thanks for bringing awareness to this event! A lot of people didn’t know about this until you posted it so thanks so much because of your contributions more people will attend the event [….]
Some of ya’ll need to touch some grass. Get out an explore the world. That small town mindset. Yikes. [….]
someone should tell them their bathroom in their home is *gasp* gender neutral
Can’t wait !!!!
Waaa waaa waaa
Offs…..this is not the first year we’ve had drag shows here…..chill….you’re not required to go [….]
Actual license plate.
Heh.
It means go if your family is friendly. And if yours isn’t, stay home.
Fuck all the way off. Although, thanks for letting me know about Pridefest.
Just because you may not like it doesn’t mean anybody else will..people need to be more accepting..let people be happy! Shit it isn’t hard.
Stay home if you don’t like it. [….]
I am personally glad that we are having something like this here!
I just don’t understand what you benefit for being ugly?
I’ll buy your ticket to both shows and have you up front and center! What time should I pick you up?
Omg no we must save the children from….. Awesomeness!!!! How dare we allow children to see these amazing performers!!!
[2021 file photo]
Omg I had no idea this was happening! Thank you so much for spreading awareness. I’m so excited to go! I just got some awesome pride merch
Oh no a show that you can choose whether or not to go to….. good grief
Honestly, I’m dumbfounded as to why anyone would even comment on a post simply announcing a public function here in Warrensburg. If it’s not your thing, don’t attend. If it’s something of interest to you, by all means, go see it. Fairly simple.
Hi yeah go if you want to, don’t if you don’t. Everyone go outside, have a nice evening
Imagine being such a snowflake you think clothing has an assigned gender.
let’s not even address that historically heels and makeup were originally considered masculine
In early theatre, women were not allowed to perform so men “gasp” dressed as women!! Dang that Shakespeare for damaging family values by writing women into his plays.
Oh no, people in costumes scare you… don’t go, that simple
This is year 3 of this show here in Warrensburg and I attended the first 2 as well. It is an absolute blast! Regina La-rae is the host and an absolute queen. The booths are fun and the atmosphere can’t be beat. I highly recommend.
I bet Halloween pisses you off huh?
I love RuPauls Drag Show. I didn’t know they were going to be guests! Now I have to go!!
It doesn’t affect you so what does it matter
Ew. Another Karen
Some of ya’ll preaching all this hate sure are acting like the Pharisees and not the Jesus you claim to love
It makes me sad Warrensburg has so many bigots… disgusting
Jesus said the old laws have passed away and he gave us one command… To LOVE one and other as he loved us. The bible says God is LOVE. To the hate spewing “Christians”, LOVE brings more people to Christ than your hate ever will. All of you have family or friends that are gay, your hate terrifies them.
Just how is it being “shoved on you? ” Yoy certainly don’t have to go to this event. Stay home. Keep scrolling and even ignore this post entirely.
I must say I’m proud of Warrensburg right now, standing up for this event. And for that, I thank you.
It amazes me how judgemental people are. Same folks are “entertained” by movies like Mrs. Doubtfire, Tootsie, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar and more. It is entertainment! If you don’t think you will like it, don’t go! These Entertainers put on a great show and certainly do not need your negativity!! [….]
also Bugs Bunny, The Carol Burnett Show…
Don’t be a bigot.
Here’s a thought… if you don’t like it, don’t go. [….]
I thought most religion teaches to NOT JUDGE OTHERS. So much bigotry happening here.
DRAG QUEENS ARE JUST PERFORMERS!! THAT IS A L L. no different than a normal concert. no different than a band performance. or a circus. all of these things have the option to be ‘18+’ but can also be family friendly!! and most ARE family friendly!!
you all would rather die on a grave of bigotry, misinformation, and hate then recognize that there are actual problems and actual threats to our children going on.
You guys are the ones who want our children to be safe, but you’re the only ones imagining children in a gross context!!!
I can’t wait until all these haters find out that Shakespearean performances were technically drag performers. Men playing females. Men playing Juliet, having a sex scene portraying a woman.
Drag is nothing new. Y’all just got too damn soft and hide your hatred toward the lgbt community by bashing drag performers. [….]
Can you post the whole ad please. I would really like to go, with my kids!!!
If you don’t like it don’t go just stay away from it and don’t come onto Facebook and complain about something that doesn’t even involve you and drag performers are very family friendly around children especially at Warrensburgs pride show
If you don’t like it. Don’t go. Stop telling others what they can do because you are a homophobe
If you don’t like it. Scroll on by. Don’t be a Karen.
I mean, hats off to Warrensburg for being so inclusive, tolerant, progressive and 2023 century!! Way to go!! [….]
Because simply choosing not to go is so hard. [….]
Well if you don’t like it, stay home and keep your hatred to yourself, the world doesn’t need people like you spreading your ignorance and hate
Well now that you’ve announced it I hope the whole town shows up.
Oh my god get a life
Drag is not inherently sexual. And your perception of that is a you problem. [….]
So don’t go.
How embarrassing for your family that you actually posted this lol
What shocks me is there’s still people who discriminate against others who arent hurting a soul.
Thanks for posting this. I totally forgot!
And it shocks me we have people as ignorant and regressive as you. Face the facts homeslice, it’s 2023. They don’t expose themselves, the worst thing they do is swear like a sailor and hell I’m guilty of that! Drag is art. It’s expression. It’s BEAUTIFUL. And your attitude is not.
I’m glad Warrensburg is able to support diversity and groups that have been persecuted by people like the one who made this post. It’s unfortunate that today they are still having to worry about their freedoms being stripped away by fearful/hateful people. Grow up and learn some tolerance.
June 3rd? Perfect. Thanks for the advertising, this will be a great outing for my daughter and I!
If you don’t want your family going, don’t take your family. What other people do with their families is none of your business.
The world will progress without you, don’t worry
Thanks for posting! I had no idea this was happening! Drag shows are so much fun. Can’t wait!
Can I just say I love the support for this event. I can’t wait to take my kiddoes and go. This is ganna be amazing. Also looking for more LGBTQIA+ Friends. Especially parent friends.
Thanks for the advertisement! Seems like it’ll be a lot of fun, I’ll make sure to let all the kids know that the drag queens are statistically near 100% safer than the priest at church
it shocks me that people like you still exist, pls do the research before you post things like this on a public platform. obviously you don’t understand the severity of your hate, nor do you understand the reality of your words and their consequences. you hate it because you don’t understand it, that doesn’t mean that everyone around you isn’t allowed to enjoy queer spaces.
Is this the same Burg where there was publicly a post shaming Asian people and majority of the racists came out of their snake holes to spew a bunch of hate-filled crap? That Burg?? Or the one where these people would cry over a mask being put over their face for a brief moment in a store?? That Burg?
Then are we really that surprised these people don’t have a grasp on what drag is? Like, are we CERTAIN we’re that surprised?? [….] These people are the personification of “yeehaw” and we are that surprised… like…. I’m not surprised in the slightest. These people don’t know what they’re talking about. Drag isn’t even in a certain age group, it varies depending on the performer. It’s like saying Taylor Swift is in the same type of age demographic she caters to, as Cardi B. Come on, now… I know you guys aren’t that dependent on assumptions and grouping people up.
But thank you for this post as it reminds me that I can in fact attend ! I’ll keep it in mind.
What’s shocks me is that it’s really that big of a problem to some people. Seriously it’s not like they are doing this with a captive audience with no choice in what they are watching. If you dont want to see it then don’t go, its a Super simple solution to a super simple perceived problem
It really doesn’t matter where you stand in your personal beliefs, as long as nobody is forcing anyone to do anything then mind your own business
You’d think.
Sounds like a fun evening my nieces and I [….] Thanks for the reminder
This isn’t going how you thought it would, huh [….]
You don’t want to go or don’t want your family to go, then simply don’t go. It’s simple as that.
It’s a beautiful thing watching bigots trip over each other trying to out-bigot the other.
My earnest hope and desire is that this post has, and will continue to, open the eyes of the community of Warrensburg to the extreme danger that activities like the drag show presents to the children. This thread has been filled with hateful, ungodly, rhetoric that is scary, to say the least. This invasion is not going to go away on it’s own. YOU, good people of Warrensburg, MO, and surrounding areas, are going to have to fight against it! Don’t hide in your comfort zone; don’t be afraid that somebody is going to talk mean to you with lies and unfounded insults. Get up and fight against the menace that wants to infiltrate and steal your children from the good and hopeful life you are trying to create for them. If you don’t, you will regret it.
Imagine being this stupid, and thinking “I’m not stupid”
Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Thanks for advertising this! Looks like a fun event!

Some of the responses:
Now you’re quoting the Bible? So you Repubs have a manual to go by? You all do the exact same stuff. You’re not fooling anyone. We know you’re only in it for the money, but you’re too dishonest to admit it.
Religion is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
Looking forward to reading the legislation regarding GOP budget. Did you get your two GOP core values? 1-reducing IRS oversight so rich people can cheat more on their taxes? 2-punishing people who need social safety nets? This is definitely leaning on your own understandings.

Apparently, the pearl clutchers read the press release last night:
We the People of Johnson County Missouri – Friday, May 26, 2023 👺🤥 Nclusionplus Has Reinstated the Drag Queen Show for Kids on June 3 at the Elks Lodge – ACTION REQUIRED.
WE THE PEOPLE OF JOHNSON CO MO
MAY 26, 2023
Hi Folks,
Many of us have prayed diligently, asking God to STOP THE DRAG QUEEN SHOW FOR KIDS at the Elks Lodge a week away on Saturday, June 3. A lot of work was done by a LOT of people. Nclusionplus said they had CANCELLED the show for children and only 18+ year olds would be admitted.
Today their fb page announces the drag queen show for children is RESCHEDULED, and will occur as originally planned.
I was naive. I trusted them. If you all in favor of the drag queen show are reading this, “Hi! Welcome.” I trusted you.
I asked God to stop the show, I believe He said, “YES.” This looks like He didn’t keep His Word, but I don’t think that’s the deal. He wants to know if we REALLY, REALLY MEAN what we’re asking of Him. He says,
If My people who are called by My Name will HUMBLE themselves and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and turn from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sins, and HEAL THEIR LAND.
We have to do it ALL, folks. Humbling isn’t the easiest thing to do. Sometimes I don’t even realize that I’m not humble before God. I have to ask HIM to help me humble myself. He does it, and it helps me see things from HIS Perspective!
I also have to ask Him to give me the words to pray. God says the Holy Spirit will pray through us when we ask. Ask. Now. And let Him do it.
Seek God’s Face. Seek Him like you never have before. Praise Him for His Work! Praise Him for His Power!! Praise Him for loving children and protecting them from the remarkable lies being spewed these days by satan. Pray for His Wisdom in how to pray! Ask Him to change your heart and life so you are CONSTANTLY living in His Presence; RIGHT beside Him. Hidden under the shadow of His Wing.
Ask Him to HELP us IDENTIFY our wicked ways, and then leave them buried at the foot of His cross, where His blood completely covers them in forgiveness and SALVATION!!!
Folks, the time is NOW. There is NO OTHER time. Stop reading and PRAY. Ask God to help us do WHATEVER we need to do to HEAL OUR LAND. Please, Father, protect our children; HEAL our land. Change us from the inside out. Make us new.
Strengthen our hearts as you did David’s when he fought Goliath. Fill us with COURAGE, to do YOUR Will. Father, we are Your people called by Your Name, clean us so we LOOK LIKE YOU!!!!
When you get up from praying, call Rick Brattin, our Senator. Let him know nclusionplus lied, and MANIPULATED ALL of us. He needs to know they manipulated him.
Rick Brattin – 573 -751-2108.
Call. PRAY. SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE WHO WILL PRAY AND CALL SENATOR BRATTIN.
Now PRAY more.
John 16:33 – I have told you these things so in ME you may have PEACE. In this world you will have trouble. BUT TAKE HEART!!! I have overcome the world!!! – JESUS
In case anyone was wondering, hate and bigotry are not supposed to be family values.
“…I was naive. I trusted them. If you all in favor of the drag queen show are reading this, “Hi! Welcome.” I trusted you…” Weird concept of what trust is. You think people are going to trust you when someone says this at public city council meetings?: “…I don’t know if any of you know the definition of pedophilia, but I’m gonna share it with you…” “…And I really do propose that having these drag queen shows in our community is illegal and it does psychological damage to our children. It’s known as grooming…” “…Uh, they have drag queens that are stripping in front of children. I get chills just thinking about this…” “…children in our community holding up dollars for drag queens like patrons at a strip club…” “…Drag queens are female impersonators who’s venue can sexually exploit children with their indoctrination about adult sexuality and sexual orientation….” “…Some would argue that we here today, we might be haters, fearmongers, or the dreaded homophobics because we don’t bow down and agree to the senseless immoral, perverted, corrupt garbage that is being thrown around and forced on us…” “…Um, we’ve talked a lot about rights. And what I realize, I think, anyway, what I realize is there was no vote taken about having a drag queen show in the Warrensburg area. It just appeared. So anybody who didn’t particularly want it really never even got to have a vote about that….”
Rich. No one is being forced to attend anything. And you are haters. And some are apparently ignorant about how voting actually works.
“…When you get up from praying, call Rick Brattin, our Senator…”

Rick Brattin (r) is the pre-eminent legal scholar and final arbiter of the law in the State of Missouri, said no one ever.
…We’re actively exploring campaigns across the state to pass campaign finance reform, first at the local level and then statewide, to ensure that the people of Missouri can hold our elected officials accountable for their actions and inactions…
…Current voting laws, which restrict voters to choosing only one candidate per office, incentivize division over problem-solving. The good news? Pick-one voting is not a feature of our elections. It’s time to replace this outdated voting system with a one that actually rewards accountability, protects the will of the people, and encourages effective government. Freedom Voting can achieve this by giving voters the freedom to choose all the candidates they like per office, and not limit their choices to one…
We say, “love always wins” and we have felt the love from our community in Warrensburg! If you’re following along, we are a small team volunteering to make this event possible over the last 3 years. This year, hate and safety concerns became too much for our initial team to handle. However, thanks to Free Mom Hugs, our sponsors, and many others Pridefest has been able to secure additional security, volunteers, vendors, and are able to return the festival to its original plan.
Our group is excited to welcome all families back to the festival starting with the 10:45a security check-in before the first 11am family friendly show. The event WILL NOT be “Open to the Public” in any time window. All vendors and patrons must have a Day Pass. Day Passes are $5 per person regardless of age.
This year’s festival will be hosted by 3rd year returning hostess, Regina La-Rae and will feature headliner from Ru Paul’s Drag Race – The Widow Von’Du!
Read the press release for more and don’t forget to get your ticket online to expedite check-in. Vendor booth / sponsorships for the fest are still available and desired!
