Call the Department of the Treasury!

This has to be a federal crime:

Seperation of Church and State My Ass

One of the things that gets me about the average mush brains of the "progressive" persuasion is the kind of blindness they have about this sort of thing.

This is the sort of thing those who invented the "separation of church and state" bullshit wanted. Please tell me how the state investigating a church function has got the two separated. Right the first time! It's not so much "separation" as it is "control".

Two Things You SHould Worry About

When I say "worry about" you should think "prepare for":

As Vox reported, the US Northern Command as inked a deal with the Canadians to provide support to the US in event of domestic "emergency" to "save lives". Bullshit.

Next, you need to be keeping an eye on what is going on with the decrease in diversity of our food crops and the power to inhibit dispersed independent production of our food supply. When agribusinesses holds the power to have farmers prosecuted for growing food crops and can legally harass them for not using their products we got problems both with centralized control of production and the old saw that it is unwise to "mess with mother nature" applies in spades.

Recommended reading for those who wish to prepare:
