Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposted a CNN segment about a pastor who believes women should not vote on the social media platform X. ...

The report shows Wilson advocating for a Christian nation and entertaining the idea that women should not vote.

“I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation, and I would like this world to be a Christian world,” Wilson said.

The clip also shows fellow pastor Toby Sumpter, saying, “In an ideal society, we would vote as households,” and Jared Longshore, another pastor, saying he would support repealing the 19thAmendment.

Amy Prince, a parishioner interviewed for the segment, said her husband “is the head of our household, and I do submit to him.”

5. Just wait until a divorce happens between these two. Then the sparks will start happening as the man in the former

relationship tries to skip on any alimony, child support payments, etc., dumping everything onto her.

I still keep seeing tons of YouTube videos where people will hide excess payments made to them, under fake or their sister's name, claim that they don't make any money, thus unable to pay much, if anything, etc. It's amazing to me to see them run for the hills so fast to avoid paying anything. Pathetic actually.

2. But hey, "genocide Joe" and all that ...

(How's Trump working out for Palestine these days?)

Not working out very well for any non White Male US-born group in the US, I can tell you that.

But "principles" I guess ....

7. The 19th Amendment should be "repealed," and women should "submit" to their husbands

8. The only reason these guys are bleating about the 19th Amendment

is because women are far more likely to vote Democratic than men. Most men are politically dumb and refuse to see the truth the GOP politicians don't care about them. It is an attempted voter suppression tactic, but it is impossible--yes, impossible--to undo a constitutional amendment given the fact 3/4 of Congress and the legislatures will never repeal woman suffrage. They may attempt a backdoor scheme like the SAVE Act, but outright repeal? Nope.

9. Well, Repuke women should stay home (where they belong, if so believed)

on election day and not vote.

This should be part of their party platform!

11. Maddow Blog-Pete Hegseth amplifies pastors with a message: Women shouldn't be allowed to vote

The Pentagon chief already had a reputation as a far-right culture warrior. Then he promoted a video featuring pastors opposed to women voting.

Among the problems with Hegseth amplifying a video featuring Christian nationalists saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote:

But that’s not all he’s doing. Late last week, Hegseth also used his social media account to amplify a video about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote. The Associated Press reported:

In the post, Hegseth commented on an almost seven-minute-long report by CNN examining Doug Wilson, cofounder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, or CREC. The report featured a pastor from Wilson’s church advocating the repeal of women’s right to vote from the Constitution, and another pastor saying that in his ideal world, people would vote as households. It also featured a female congregant saying that she submits to her husband.

While it’s important to emphasize that Hegseth didn’t explicitly endorse the idea of repealing voting rights for American women, he nevertheless thought it’d be a good idea to promote the video, alongside his own written message that read, “All of Christ for All of Life.”

What’s more, the secretary’s office didn’t make much of an effort to distance himself from the video Hegseth amplified. A Pentagon spokesperson told the AP that Hegseth is “a proud member of a church” that is affiliated with CREC and he “very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson’s writings and teachings.”

Hegseth has also spent months purging several women from leadership posts within the U.S. armed forces.
