Stephan: One of the many problems being created by the Trump administration and the Republican Party is that as the rest of the world is moving in one direction because this is a Christofascist faction, America at the Federal level is moving in another direction. I can't think of another example, as outlined in this report, where the real priorities of the Republican Party are clearer. This story screams, not speaks, screams, human life and wellbeing is less important than carbon profits. Make no mistake about that.
But it is not all going their way. There is still life and health in the government at the state level, and some states are pushing back. Here's an example.

A coalition of 16 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday for delaying a rule intended to reduce emissions of smog-causing air pollutants.
The states contend that Administrator Scott Pruitt’s proposed one-year delay in compliance deadlines for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards violate the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The Obama-era regulation lowered the allowable concentration of ozone to 70 parts per billion, from the previous 75.
“By illegally blocking these vital clean air protections, Administrator Pruitt is endangering the health and safety of millions — but attorneys general have made clear: we won’t hesitate to fight back to protect our residents and our states,” New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who is leading the lawsuit, said in a statement.

In the early morning hours of November 9, 2016, God told Frank Amedia that with Donald Trump having been elected president, Amedia and his fellow Trump-supporting “apostles” and “prophets” had a new mission. Thus was born POTUS Shield, a network of Pentecostal leaders devoted to helping Trump bring about the reign of God in America and the world.Amedia described the divine origins of POTUS Shield during a gathering that spread over three days in March 2017 at the northeastern Ohio church he pastors. Interspersed with Pentecostal worship, liturgical dancing, speaking in tongues, shofar blowing, and Israeli flag waving, Amedia and other POTUS Shield leaders put forth their vision for a Christian America and their plans to bring it to fruition through prayer, political engagement and organizing in all 50 states. Among the many decrees made at the event was that Islam must be “completely broken down.”
POTUS Shield’s leaders view politics as spiritual warfare, part of a great struggle between good and evil that is taking place continuously in “the heavenlies” and here on earth, where the righteous […]

Stephan: Welcome to the fact free Christofascist reality of demons and Satan. It may be hard to believe that anyone takes this seriously but, they do, by the hundreds of thousands. Maybe more. This is the living breathing Neo-Medievalism Trend of the Christofascist worldview on display.
Is Outback Steakhouse the devil’s restaurant? Several twitter users mapped the location of Outbacks around some major cities to the shape of a pentacle or pentagram. Are the restaurant’s flame broiled steaks delivered rom Satan’s kitchen? Or is it just the fact that Outbacks are generally located in the suburbs around metropolitan areas? Outback’s response below.
