Military Times Covers Rep. Turner’s NDAA Amendment Making Contact with MRFF Illegal for Military; MRFF Supporters Mobilize — With New Video from Mikey Weinstein
Christian nationalist GOP Congressman Mike Turner of Ohio, has introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2024 designed to shut MRFF down. Turner’s amendment, PASSED last week by the GOP-led House Armed Services Committee, would make it ILLEGAL for Department of Defense personnel to even communicate with MRFF!
If this amendment remains in the final bill, it will become LAW, specifically it will become part of Title 10 of the U.S. Code, also known as the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). This means that if a military commander even responds to an email from MRFF, or makes any decision as a result of being contacted by MRFF, that commander can be charged with violating the UCMJ and potentially face a court-martial!

Poetic almost. Love it.
Troll above certainly isn’t American as this amendment is unconstitutional.
I know the Twitterverse is talking about this issue and honestly the legal arguments are above my pay grade. Suffice it to say they say this is performance art for the MAGA set.
In my opinion it’s also making a mockery of our established laws and mores but there you go – Nationalist Christians – destroying what gets in their way for the Apocalyptic End Times Show and Talent Review since Reagan was in pictures.
It’s unconstitutional because you dont like it? Got it. Pretty sure there is nothing in the constitution that says military has to communicate with the MRFF. Try again though.
Thanks for sharing such a nice post. I really loved this post for reading.
Recently I have gone through the construction of my backyard , I called up contractors from Building materials trading company from Arab Basalt Fiber Company ( https://arabbasaltfiber.com ) . The contractors are very professional and did their work very efficiently.
I’m not going to point out the fail in the trolls logic. To paraphrase Sun Tzu when your opponent is in the middle of making a mistake, do not stop them.
Still waiting to hear how this is unconstitutional lol.
Arab Basalt said it best, “The contractors are very professional and did their work very efficiently.”
This law violates two parts of the Constitution. From 1st Amendment: “Congress shall make no law …abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” It forbids MRFF from communicating with some government organizations, thus depriving MRFF of its right “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Because this law names one, and only one organization to be deprived of that Constitutionally -guaranteed right, it’s a “Bill of Attainder,” forbidden by Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 (“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”)
I suspect that the theocrat strategy to get around this is to put it into a fiscal appropriations bill and prohibit expenditures rather than communications.
Notice the first part of it: (emphasis added) “NONE OF THE FUNDS authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2024 for the Department of Defense MAY BE USED—(1) to communicate with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, its leadership, or its founder; or”
That means that a military person could still communicate with MRFF using their personal resources while off duty. This law would also create conflicting requirements for anyone in the military receiving an FOIA request from MRFF: the FOIA law requires some kind of response to an inquiry within 20 days, but this law would prohibit ANY response, even acknowledging receipt of the request
I’m informing MRFF about Arab Basalt’s attempts to use these comment pages to advertise a business, so expect them to be removed soon.
I think the comment by Grey One Talks Sass, referencing Sun Tzu, rocks.
Tom O, thank you for going after this Basalt guy.
Democrats taking all kinds of L’s this week. Lets keep this train rolling.
The only train rolling these days is the MAGAT Trump train, be singing the Folsom Blues here pretty quick!
Does Trump sing? I know everyone around him does!
Gonna look good in that jumpsuit!
You spelled Biden* wrong. He probably doesnt even realize how much trouble hes about to be in… you know, because of the dementia. Thats Ok, the Easter Bunny will help direct him to the courthouse. How bout those dropped charges for his kiddo? Plea to tax fraud in return for dropped gun and sex trafficking charges? No preferential treatment there whatsoever. Typical Democratic fashion.
Not likely, because the “bribery charges” are based on info provided in 2019
by Giuliani from a source in Ukraine who overheard a conversation between two other people whom no one can find. That info was passed in 2020 to the Trump-appointed federal DA in Delaware who was investigating the Bidens, and is the ONLY Trump appointed federal DA who’s STILL on the job. He apparently found the info not credible at the time, and 3 years later hasn’t found any reason to charge Joe Biden with ANYTHING. More about this is at
https://thehill.com/homenews/4073675-oversight-dems-argue-gop-overlooked-information-undercutting-biden-allegation/
including this
“A Ukrainian oligarch who ran the energy company that hired Hunter Biden to serve on its board told associates of Rudy Giuliani that Burisma never had any contacts with then-Vice President Biden while his son worked at the company. The conversation with Mykola Zlochevsky, part of the package of information received by lawmakers during former President Trump’s first impeachment, was highlighted by the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee as evidence undercutting a GOP-led probe into an alleged bribery scheme.”
“How bout those dropped charges for his kiddo? Plea to tax fraud in return for dropped gun and sex trafficking charges? No preferential treatment there whatsoever. Typical Democratic fashion.” Those charging decisions were by David C. Weiss, the same Trump-appointed federal DA in Delaware who was investigating both Bidens, and is the ONLY Trump appointed federal DA who’s STILL on the job, and has publicly confirmed that he was given TOTAL authority over the Biden investigations by Garland, and that he alone decided what charges Hunter Biden should face and how they should be resolved.
Hes still getting off way easier than anyone else would, so whats your point?
The same Garland that labeled concerned parents as terrorists? Who cares if hes a Trump appointee, makes no difference.
Imagine a world where the President of the United States son smokes crack, fucks hookers, takes bribes, sex traffics, and fucks his dead brothers wife. Oh wait, thats the world we are living in. Thats Biden stock right there.
A MAGAT doing spell check? You “knoe” that ain’t right!
“Hes still getting off way easier than anyone else would, so whats your point?” Several points. You wrote “Typical Democratic fashion” about the actions of a Trumpie Republican. You wrote that Biden will soon be prosecuted for bribery, although the supposed “evidence” against him has been shown to be such bullshit that even Trump’s DOJ didn’t believe it.
Give us an example of someone being CRIMINALLY prosecuted for simple failure to pay income taxes (NOT trying to conceal income or other FRAUD) AFTER they already paid, with late-payment penalties and interest. Give us an example of someone being CRIMINALLY prosecuted for buying a gun while addicted to drugs, who had no prior criminal record, who never showed the gun outside his residence, and threw the gun in the trash 2 weeks after buying it.
If you know of any prosecutable evidence of the other things you’re accusing hunter Biden of, send it to David Weiss.
“Imagine a world where the President of the United States son smokes crack, fucks hookers, takes bribes, sex traffics, and fucks his dead brothers wife.” Doesn’t take much imagining, other than trying to imagine Eric Trump dying AND Lara feeling any sexual attraction to Don Jr. (Or Barron T being old enough to get married)
“The same Garland that labeled concerned parents as terrorists?” (5:18PM) When and with what specific words did he supposedly do that?
Trolls gotta troll. The Garland calls parents terrorists lie comes from a misrepresentation of what was actually said which did not hinder Republican Idaho Speaker of the House Scott Bedke from taking it and using it in their political ads which is why this lie has runners shoes.
Per fact-check dot org from April 2022:
“The nugget of truth behind the political spin is that a letter from the National School Boards Association to Garland last fall argued some violent threats against school officials “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism” that would warrant the intervention of federal law enforcement. In his response, Garland directed his agency to review strategies to address violent threats and harassment against school boards, but he didn’t use the NSBA’s “terrorism” language, for which the group later apologized.”
But hey, trolls never let the truth get in the way of a good trolling, amirite?
