Abrams. Thank God we able to dodge that repulsive, race-baiting individual being elected governor not once but twice.

When does the media start parroting the "Biden is going to get us into a war" narrative as they did with 45?

Rookie Georgia police officer resigns after department bars him from expressing views on traditional marriage


Rookie Georgia police officer Jacob Kersey resigned after his superiors threatened to terminate him for expressing his views on traditional marriage, the Daily Signal reported today.

"I never would have thought I would have been placed in a situation where I have to choose between my Christian faith and my dream job," 19-year-old Kersey said Wednesday in a Facebook post. "I am grateful for the opportunity that I was given to be a police officer. I do not take that honor and responsibility lightly. However, my integrity and Christian beliefs are at the core of who I am, and I will not abandon them," he added.

Kersey's career in law enforcement was cut short following a brief Facebook post on January 2, 2023, the Daily Signal reported. In the post, he expressed a widely-held religious belief that marriage, designed by God, does not include homosexual unions.

"God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the church," Kersey said in the post. "That's why there is no such thing as homosexual marriage," the post concluded.


The next day, Kersey's supervisor requested he remove the post; Kersey refused, and was warned he could be terminated if he did not comply,
according to the Daily Signal's reporting. Shortly after that, Maj. Bradwick L. Sherrod ordered him to "return everything he had that belonged to the city," and Kersey was placed on paid administrative leave while the city investigated, the outlet also reported.

After a week's worth of leave, Kersey faced a "Sophie's Choice" situation. He could either keep his job or keep silent on social media about his religious beliefs. Though he was told he would not be fired, he would also not be permitted to share his "interpretation or opinion of Scripture if it was deemed offensive," the outlet continued.

Department leadership formalized its position in a letter to Kersey dated January 13, which was obtained by the Daily Signal. In the letter, Port Wentworth Police Department's Major Sherrod says, in part, "After reviewing your Podcast and social media platforms. . .we did not find sufficient evidence to establish a violation of any policies. . . However, the posts, podcasts, and so forth found and considered in our investigation likely offensive to protected classes . . . please be reminded that if any post on any of your social media platforms, or any other statement or action, renders you unable to perform, and to be seen as able to perform, your job in a fair an equitable manner, you could be terminated."
TL;DR: Port Wentworth, Georgia Police Department: Deny your Maker

So much for the 1A.

Given the prevailing shortage of LEO's not only state but nationwide, that seems like an incredibly stupid move by the PD.

They probably don't want anyone in the ranks that might waver when the next forced church closures are enacted. How's that going to work when you send armed agents out to enforce shut down orders and the armed agents sympathize with the pastors and parishioners? Dangerous. Better to just nip that in the bud before anything happens.

It's incredibly dumb, considering how short-staffed agencies are. The one in my county has a lighted road sign right adjacent to the highway on-ramp offering, a $50K starting salary for new hires with no experience, and an $8K lateral transfer bonus for experienced officers.

I will post that on Facebook all day long. I believe "marriage" is between a man and woman and whatever two women or two men want to call their "union" is up to them. To call it a marriage is making a mockery of actual marriage. It is no different than made up pronouns. Doesn't mean shit.

IDGAS if they want to live together or love each other...whatever...but pick your own word for it.

Amazing that years ago your employer did not care about your political or personal views, the only thing that mattered was your job performance.

Today, you can be fired if your views and words are not aligned with their woke culture, your exemplary job performance is a non-factor.

But, if you suck at your job, but are aligned with them, you have lifetime employment.

And folks, this is how socialism works, next step after firing you will be to eliminate you.

This from the man who BEGGED Russia to produce more oil starting in October of 2021 because he refused to help American oil producers to produce more. He begged them until late January of 2022 and then realized an invasion was inevitable. He could have and should have put crippling sanction on Russia as they built up troops. But he wanted their oil more than he cared about the Ukraine.
