UTC Students Urge Pro Hamas Resolution

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) has joined the ranks of institutions that are filled with activists instead of students’ worthy of taxpayer funding.  In particular the Student Government Association (SGA) members that are embracing the ideology of the Muslim Student Organization (MSA). While the students may not view this group as the dangerous, terror linked group it is, perhaps the parents and taxpayers will.

Following what seems to be an antisemitic trend on college campuses, many members of the SGA have voted for a resolution that will support two Gazan students financially due to the situation in their home country, and how unfair it is that all colleges in Gaza have been destroyed, yet the many in Israel have not.

Another disturbing aspect of this resolution is that is comes from members of the Muslim Student Association, the Muslim Brotherhoods second largest front group in the United States. The Muslim Brotherhood has been designated a terrorist organization in countries across the Middle East.

In 2008 in Dallas Texas evidence was presented to a court during a trial against the Holy Land Foundation, which was funding Hamas. That evidence included a manifesto titled “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”.  The Muslim Student Association is listed as the number 2 group that is “A list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends [Imagine if t they all march according to one plan!!!]”

The MSA uses this mission statement “The Muslim Students Association at UTC is a faith-based organization that seeks to unite our community and create an atmosphere of knowledge and understanding through the use of education”.

 The MSA was founded in 1963 by international students with the goal of “spreading Islam in North America”. Otherwise known as dawah, or the proselytizing of Islam.

The mere fact our American institutions have embraced and allowed a terror linked organization to flourish on their campuses is one danger, but the continued acceptance of anti-Israel rhetoric by the MSA and others such as Students for Justice in Palestine is a loaded powder keg which needs to be extinguished.

The following is the resolution presented to the Chancellor of UTC, Steven R. Angle. At this time, Chancellor Angle has not signed this resolution.

 

The following audio is the debate by members of the Student Government Association. Listen:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V3AfOU-GfzAJACf-NdA-bUrpE3V1RNkz/view

It’s sad to hear how ignorant many of today’s college students are, and their inability to be articulate regarding a controversial topic. Rather its apparent they only use the example of Gaza’s colleges being ruined, but Israel’s are not .Thanks to those that did understand the gravity of the subject, and objected to the resolution. 

College campuses across America have become home to blatant anti- Israel sentiment, and pro Hamas agenda. Funding for Gazan students that are in the United States should not be given a status designation, while other students have the same need. Call Chancellor Steven Angle  (423-425-4141) and advise him to not sign this resolution, which will undoubtedly cause more division among students, and ultimately Americans. 

Coming up:  Strange bedfellows..The Democratic Socialists of America student group and the Muslim Student Association.

Tennessee Muslims With Radical Anti Jew/ Pro Palestine Activists

  In the past few years, Muslims across Tennessee including Nashville, have supported, aligned with and appeared with well known radical Palestinian Jew haters. Many of these Muslims often speak of how they are victims. Today, the question must be asked do they stand with those same radical Palestinians?  

Sabina Moyhuddin, Executive Director of The American Muslim Advisory Council  (AMAC) Nashville with Linda Sarsour. 

https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-normalizes-anti-semitism-in-tennessee/

https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-normalizes-anti-semitism-in-tennessee/

Who is Linda Sarsour?

Sarsour, is the head of the Arab American Association of NY (AAANY). She was born in New York after her parents, both Palestinians from the West Bank, immigrated to the U.S. still Identifying herself as a Palestinian-American, Sarsour’s platform of victimhood is two-fold: alleged abuses of Palestinians by Israel and American discrimination and Islamophobia directed at Muslims in the U.S.

Sarsour seeks out any and all opportunities to spread her Jew hatred. She founded “Muslims for Ferguson” once the riots started. Collaborating with Black Lives Matter (BLM), Dream Defenders, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), CAIR and others, she helped turn the Ferguson protests into an anti-Israel rally.

 Sarsour spoke at AMP’s conference confirming her “unequivocal” support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement, and her disdain for Muslims who interface with pro-Israel Jews. AMP is a national extremist anti-Israel organization that helps train and support the college hate group, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). 

She also sits on the advisory board of Dream Defenders (DD). One of DD’s founding members is Ahmad Abuznaid, another Palestinian. Unlike Sarsour who was born in New York, Abuznaid was born in East Jerusalem. He serves as DD’s legal and policy director.

Not surprisingly, DD asserts solidarity with Palestinians. Members of BLM and DD traveled to the “occupied” territories to spend time with a convicted terrorist who had served 17 years in an Israeli prison for planting bombs. Since that trip, DD has aligned more closely with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, an organization that that advocates armed resistance whose members in the past have hijacked airplanes.

Several years ago, Awad admitted CAIR stands with Hamas movement. CAIR has been allowed to grow within the United States, and is seen as the nations largest Muslim civil rights organization.

 

Awad has visited and attended services at the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro

Lets not forget Zulfat Suara, member at large on Nashville’s City Council. Here Ms. Suara loves to show her support and inspiration for Jew Haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib

 

 

Tennessee Muslims, joined by Representative Justin Jones have flirted with those that are now accepting the violence perpetrated on the Jewish people of Israel. We ask Sabina Moyhuddin, Daoud Abudiab, Nihad Awad,  Zulfat Suara and Justin Jones do you accept the atrocities committed  by Palestinians? Tennesseans want to know .

Belmont University Dilemma..Christian Speaker On Christian Campus Offends Muslim Students

The Muslim Student Association is a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization in many Middle Eastern countries, and if 2021 proposed legislation is passed in DC, the Brotherhood will also be on the United States State Depts Foreign Terrorist Organization list. The following is an excerpt from The Muslim Brotherhood “manifesto” which details their goals and how to accomplish them.

The Muslim Brotherhood, aka the Ikhwan, has several groups represented within the United States, including the state of Tennessee. The Muslim Student Association was founded in 1963 at the University of Illinois-Urbana for the sole purpose of dawa, or the proselytizing of Islam to non-Muslims. It was during a trial held in Dallas Texas that several Muslim organizations were included in the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto, with the MSA being listed as number 2.

This “manifesto” is named the Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,  (English begins on page 15) which was presented as evidence in the trial in TX known as the Holy Land Foundation.

So it should be very disturbing to learn Belmont University has allowed the Muslim Student Association to be one of its student organizations. What is even more disturbing is the President of Belmont, Dr Greg Jones has apologized for not vetting a Christian speaker to come on to the campus. Imagine that, a Christian speaker going to a Christian school, and Muslims at the school are offended.

 The event was put on by the Crescent Project, a non-profit that attempts to build bridges with, and eventually hopes to bring Muslims to Christianity.  Members of the Muslim Student Association were so offended, they asked for an apology from the President, as well as making sure it never happens again. Belmont President Jones tasked staff to establish a set of guidelines that any future speakers would agree to before being allowed to speak, and of course apologized like any good scaredy cat would do.

A question that begs to be asked is why Muslims are even attending a school that is steeped in Christian values? While Muslims like to say their universities and colleges are open to all, non-Muslims are rarely accepted into them.  Well, the answer is because it is the Muslim goal to bring Christians to Islam, and dawa is the tool that is used.

Another interesting note is that the efforts to begin a Muslim Student Association were repeatedly turned down prior to Dr Greg Jones becoming President of the university. It was only until a year ago, the MSA was allowed to organize. If you search for this group to be listed in the general directory of student organizations, you won’t find it. However it is found under the link for school events and news called Bruinlink.

Unfortunately, President Jones displays a passion for diversity, equity and inclusion more than the Christian values that were maintained for years.  One only has to compare the vision and mission statements from years ago to the ones Jones created to see it’s more about social justice than Jesus.

Belmont University President Dr. Greg Jones

Muslim Activists Claim US Congressman a Threat..But Here’s the Real Threat

   

Muslim Tennessee activist Sabina Mohyuddin, executive director of the  Tennessee based Anti- American organization the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) has a complaint…she wants Congressman Mark Green to be removed from his recent assignment as chair of the Homeland Security Committee. Mohyuddin and  Sumayyah Waheed, senior policy counsel at Muslim Advocates, a national civil rights group based in Washington, D.C. claims Green is anti Muslim, and anti-LGBTIQ which will be a threat to Muslims.

Congressman Mark Green a threat to Muslims?  Someone who has served three tours of duty overseas during the War on Terror, and played an active role in the capture of Saddam Hussein, is  hardly a threat to Muslims.

But lets look at who the real threat is.

The American Muslim Advisory Council was formed in 2011 in opposition to what they deemed an anti sharia law bill in the state of TN. Sharia law,( Islamic law) is completely antithetical to our Constitution and laws of America. Sharia is based only on the laws that their prophet Muhammad created and therefore any man made law is illegal. The Taliban and other Islamic groups are known for enforcing Sharia law, which speaks volumes.

Throughout the years, board members of AMAC have associated with known Muslim Brotherhood organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood has been officially declared a terrorist group in many countries in the Middle East, while many of the groups that fall under their umbrella here in America have also been deemed terrorist groups. One such group is the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) which is Hamas. Hamas is listed on the US Dept of States foreign terrorist organizations as of 1997.  Sumayyah Waheed Currently, serves on the board of CAIR-Washington.

 In 1994, a year before the United States labeled the Palestinian extremist group Hamas a Foreign Terrorist Organization, two individuals who were at the time working for a Hamas offshoot organization (the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)) founded CAIR to support Hamas’ agenda in the United States. The IAP was also a known front for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Over the years, CAIR’s alleged ties to Hamas have proved troublesome for the organization. In 2007, federal prosecutors reportedly designated CAIR a co-conspirator with the Holy Land Foundation, a group that was eventually convicted for financing terrorism. In 2014, CAIR was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and multiple CAIR members have been arrested on charges related to terrorism.  Read more on CAIR here : https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/council-on-american-islamic-relations-cair/

Zulfat Suara, the current treasurer for AMAC, and also an at large Nashville Metro Council Commissioner received an award from Muslim Brotherhood front group the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).  ISNA is the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization operating here in the United States, with its head quarters in Wayne NJ

Linda Sarsour, a well known rabid Anti Israel Palestinian American activist, was invited to speak at AMAC’s 10 year celebration. 

In 2017, AMAC also was the recipient of a  Proteus Fund grant from  George Soros’s Open Society Foundation. 

In addition to Sabina Mohyuddin’s complaint about Congressman Green and his stance on Islamic issues, Mohyuddin also states he has made anti LGBTQ statements. Perhaps Mohyuddin should explain that her religious beliefs are extremely harsh when it comes to the LGBTQ community. In June 2013, Mohyuddin gave a power point presentation in which she stated American Muslims just want to be true to their “religious values”.  The Koran is very clear when it comes to homosexuality, Quran (7:80-84)–“…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds…. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)”

Mohyuddins religious values are also based upon the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, which states: Sahih Bukhari (72:774) – “The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, ‘Turn them out of your houses .’ The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and ‘Umar turned out such-and-such woman.”

“if a man comes upon a man, then they are both adulterers,” “If a woman comes upon a woman, they are both adulteresses,” “When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shakes,” and “Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to.” (Abu Dawud 4462 and al-Tirmidhi 1456)

Its’s quite interesting to know several members of CAIR have made statements regarding the LGBTQ community.  CAIR frequently hosts events featuring Muslim preachers known for virulent anti-gay rhetoric. A frequent speaker at CAIR fundraisers, Siraj Wahhaj, famously threatened to burn down a proposed LGBT-friendly mosque in Toronto in 1992. Suhaib Webb, another favorite of CAIR events, called homosexuality an “evil inclination” in 2007. Omar Suleiman, who has recorded numerous promotional videos for CAIR, has called homosexuality a “disease” and a “repugnant, shameless sin.” Islamic Shura Council of Southern California leader Muzammil Siddiqi, with whom CAIR held a joint press conference following the December 2015 San Bernardino terror attack, has advocated the death penalty for homosexuals in Muslim countries.

So who’s the real threat?

Is Nashville’s Gideons Army Racist and Anti-Police? You Decide!

 

 Here we are in 2022 where police officers are being assaulted, harassed and killed, with crime at an all time high in many liberal run cities and Nashville wants to give a racist, anti-police organization $750,000. In May of 2021, Mayor John Cooper created a Community Safety Partnership Fund Advisory that reports to the Board Mayor’s Office of Community Safety which makes recommendations to the Metro Council for grant funding to nonprofits.

This Community Safety Partnership Fund Advisory Board, which is comprised of “experts” has no budgetary authority but does send recommendations to the Metro Council which includes where grants and donations are disbursed.

Two non-profits have been recommended to the board to split a $1.5 million dollar pilot “violence interruption” program, Gideons Army is one of the two. The issue at hand, is it appears Gideons Army creates more violence than it interrupts.

On Sept 22, 2022 founder of Gideons Army, Rasheedat Fetuga entered Pearl Cohn High School, where she deliberately ignored requests by staff to stop, yelling profanities as she looked for Principal Miriam Harrington. After several attempts to remove her failed, Fetuga eventually left, but on her way out she removed a picture on the wall in the lobby, and once outside began to stomp on that picture breaking the glass and frame.

 

In April of 2022, another employee of Gideons Army, Charles Brooks, was sentenced to four years in federal prison related to his role in a shootout last year in a North Nashville neighborhood.  In 2006, Brooks faced state charges for voluntary manslaughter.

Charles Brooks

 

Also in April of 2022, paid employee of Gideons Army Cleveland Shaw, was killed in what police say was another shootout on nearby Clarksville Pike.

In November of 2020, we (Dailyrollcall) published an article exposing Gideons Army revealing some disgusting details about members of a group that claims to be “for the children”.

Mic True, former Gideons Army member

In order to be an effective organization that claims to want to stop violence within the community, you must have a good relationship with law enforcement. Gideons Army may say they do, however they are promoters of the defund the police movement.

While Gideons Army may have provided the community with groceries, and occasionally helps kids, does it appear they are a racist front group, run by anti police activists? The last thing these social justice warriors need is $750,000.

The Interfaith Chrislam Scam..Part 2

      “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest                                 authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” – Omar Ahmad, co-founder and past president of the Council on American-Islamic Relations

This is the belief held by vast numbers of pious Islamists throughout the United States, but it is not something you will hear during interfaith gatherings. Instead, they will go to great lengths to promote the commonality and oneness of Christianity and Islam.

“The Common Word BetweenUs and You” delivered to the holiest of Catholics, Pope Francis, is what’s called dawa.   Dawa is the prosteisizing of Islam, or the invitation to join Islam. Dawa is an obligation that all “good Muslims” must perform, in the hopes non-believers will submit. In this phase Muslims are promoting their “peaceful” and compatible version of Islam to Catholics, (and other denominations as well) in the hopes other faith followers will embrace and even eventually consider Islam.  

The words in this document are important to understand, however In order to understand why this document is deceptive and a fraud, you must understand who many of the signatories are, the philosophy of the institution it was penned by and how it serves as dawa. Anytime a non-believer reads any part of the Koran, it is considered a victory.

Throughout this article we will be quoting from a document titled “The Methodology of Dawa” written and published in 1989 by SHAMIM A SIDDIQI, which is widely used to teach Muslims how and why Dawa should be used.

One of the first paragraphs in the “Common Word Between us and You” describes the Al Fatihah, the first chapter of the Koran and the prayer repeated by Muslims over a dozen times a day:

In the Name of God, the Infinitely Good, the All-Merciful. /

Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds. /

The Infinitely Good, the All-Merciful. /

Owner of the Day of Judgement. / Thee we worship, and Thee we ask for help. /

Guide us upon the straight path. /

The path of those on whom is Thy Grace, not those who deserve anger nor those who are astray.

(Al-Fatihah, 1:1-7)

Those who deserve anger are the Jews, and those who are astray are Christians.

Ibn Kathir was a highly respected Muslim scholar (1301 CE – 1373 CE) credited with writing a commentary on the Koran that has been translated into several languages, including English.  This commentary titled “Tafsir al-Qur’an al-Adhim” is reported to be popular because it uses the hadiths (sayings of Muhammad) to help explain the Koran.  Ibn Kathir’s commentary explains the meaning of the last verse of the Al-Fatihah daily prayer that demeans and denounces Jews and Christians as follows:

“Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray, meaning:

These two paths are the paths of the Christians and Jews, a fact that the believer should beware of so that he avoids them. The path of the believers is knowledge of the truth and abiding by it. In comparison, the Jews abandoned practicing the religion, while the Christians lost the true knowledge. This is why `anger’ descended upon the Jews, while being described as `led astray’ is more appropriate of the Christians. Those who know, but avoid implementing the truth, deserve the anger, unlike those who are ignorant. The Christians want to seek the true knowledge but are unable to find it because they did not seek it from its proper resources. This is why they were led astray. We should also mention that both the Christians and the Jews have earned the anger and are led astray, but the anger is one of the attributes more particular of the Jews.” Quran Surah (Sura) Fatihah Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Remember Muslims recite this prayer over 12-17 times a day, asking Allah not to be like Christians or Jews.

Do these excerpts align with their “Common Word”?

From the Noble Koran: Sura 98

From the Methodology of Dawa

The Interfaith Chrislam Scam..Part 1

This series of articles will be long, and detailed, to hopefully articulate how the “interfaith” movement has led to a dangerous marriage between two religions, one whose savior is dead, and one whose Savior is alive. While there are other faiths involved with the this movement, these articles will focus on the Catholic connection.

 In February 2019, the Catholic spiritual shepherd Pope Francis and Islamic Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Egypt’s Al-Azhar joined together to celebrate the Day of Human Fraternity. This celebration was based on the 2007 landmark alliance between the holiest Catholic and Muslim leaders spawned by a letter to the Pope titled “A Common Word Between Us and You”.

This letter was originally signed by 138 Muslim scholars and clerics from across the globe that came together historically to show the unification of all denominations of Islam. The final letter was presented at a conference held by the Royal Academy of The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Jordan, with the theme “Love in the Quran”.

This document was the “common constitution” which would be the conversation openers for all interfaith gatherings to show that the teachings of the Koran and the Prophet were similar to the commandments in the Holy Bible, claiming despite their differences, both have the same edicts.

 The following information explains why interfaith is a dangerous, hypocritical relationship. Words in bold are important to remember, as we will connect the dots with them as we proceed in coming parts.

It all seems so innocent. Interfaith events continue to grow in churches and synagogues across America, with the idea Muslims, Christians, Catholics, and Jews could all be friends to co-exist despite extreme differences within doctrines and laws. 

 To begin, we start with the doctrine of Islam. Muslims believe there is only one god, Allah, who through the prophet Muhammad revealed the words of the Koran. The traditions and sayings of the prophet are contained in the Sunnah and the Hadiths, this making the trilogy of books most important to Muslims. In order for a Muslim to be “good”, they must imitate the life of their prophet Muhammed. In summary the early years of Muhammad described as his years in Mecca, he was peaceful and while he desired to convert others to Islam, he accepted those that practiced their own religions, which led to very small numbers of Muslims.

On his hijra (journey) to Yathrib (Medina), Muhammed began to reject the offer of peaceful co-existence. It was in Medina Islam became political and militarized, showing to others Islam was meant to dominate, not to be equal. Before his death, non-believers (infidels) were evicted or enslaved and converted under the threat of death if they did not.  Remember, In order for a Muslim to be “good”, they must imitate the life of their prophet Muhammed.

In stark contrast to Islam, The Christian Faith centers entirely on the person and work of Jesus Christ, and not just certain aspects of His life. Jesus rose from the dead – spiritually and physically.

Many religious leaders including Catholics have failed to study the context of what is written in the Koran between Muhammad’s Meccan life and his Medina one. Muslims utilize the practice of abrogation, and the use of Taqiyya (sacred deception).  Islam denies the principle of the Golden Rule: the belief all human beings are equal in value and should be treated the same. No where in the doctrine of Islam does Allah speak of love or compassion for kafirs (non-Muslims). However, there are over 109 verses regarding violence against them. Here are a few:

Quran (8:12) – “(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels… “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

Quran (8:39) – “And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah”

Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.”

Read more passages on jihad here https://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Themes/jihad_passages.html

Messages from the Hadith and Sira include more violence to non-believers:

Sahih Bukhari (52:177) – Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”

Sahih Muslim (1:33) – the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

Understand these verses are never discussed due to abrogation, meaning the later verses in the Koran over power earlier verse. In other words, anything revealed to Muhammad chronologically later in the Koran abrogates or overrules anything that came earlier.

Abrogation is contained in three verses in the Koran: Sura 17:106  And (it is) a Qur’an which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages. (in 23 years).

Sura 16:101  101. And when We change a Verse [of the Qur’an, i.e. cancel (abrogate) its order] in place of another, and Allah knows the best of what He sends down, they (the disbelievers) say: “You (O Muhammad ) are but a Muftari! (forger, liar).” Nay, but most of them know not.

Sura 2:106  106. Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?

During interfaith events, whenever a Muslims quotes a peaceful verse, it must be asked when it was revealed to Muhammad. In Mecca or Medina?

Taqiyya, or the art of deception (sacred deception) is a lie that advances Islam. In Islam, It is not considered a sin, but rather permissible. Renowned Islamic jurist, Imam Abu Hamid Ghazali defines this deception as “speaking is a means to achieve objectives..it is permissible and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory.

The question begs to be answered why would Catholic faith leaders want an interfaith dialogue with anyone that is allowed, and encouraged to lie and deceive? Lying and deception is in fact a sin to Catholics.

Coming up in Part two, a look into the letter  to the Pope from Muslims, “A Common Word Between Us and You”..

Coffee County TN Early Voting Starts July 15 and Here We go…

As we continue to educate and inform voters, we thought the following facts and questions should be food for thought as Coffee County voters head to the polls to elect our next Mayor. Margaret Cunningham is running for Mayor as an “Independent”. In a private message to me, the founder of dailyrollcall.com, Mrs. Cunningham stated she is a “conservative independent” yet accepts and acknowledges an endorsement by a Democrat.  That is a Fact.  Luke Cameron, who was also running for mayor, but as a Democrat, bailed out of the race and backed Margaret. In his public withdrawal he states Mrs. Cunningham will “embody our values”, but whose values?  

Another interesting point to ponder involves Steve Cunningham, Margaret’s husband. Did you know Mr. Cunningham is the Chair of the Coffee County Planning Commission? In March of 2022, a proposal was made to double building permit fees within the county. It’s interesting to note this proposal was put off going to the full commission, which Margaret sits on, not once, but twice.. just prior to the May primary and now the August general election.  Is it coincidence?

 In the forum last week, Mrs. Cunningham spoke about not wanting inferior housing built by outside contractors to end up being the “slums”.  Is Mr. Cunningham responsible for those “slums”? 

Also during the forum hosted by  Rooster radio last week, Mrs. Cunningham stated in reference to Judd Matheny’s experience, “it’s not about connections or who you know”.   Wow!  Mr. Matheny was our state representative for 16 years, and cultivated many solid friendships in many various walks of life, not just political ones.  Those “connections” are invaluable for advise, and experience which always should be welcome. Will Mrs. Cunningham  continue to rely on the same good ole boy rhinos steeped in stale ideas for our county?  (One only has to look at Manchester to see how that plays out.) 

If you follow dailyrollcall, you know we have exposed all parties, Republicans included. Mrs. Cunningham may be an “independent”, but bashing the Republican party, that is the conservative party shows her true colors. In a message sent to me by Mrs. Cunningham upon hearing I was going to write about her, she expressed anger I would “plant seeds” in voters minds. What seeds would she be worried about?

“To be so low to plant seeds from just your opinion and NOT FACT is typical of your kind and not unexpected.” Says Mrs. Cunningham.  

As a candidate for public office, questions should be welcomed. If Mrs. Cunningham is worried about seeds, do you wonder why?

Coffee County Candidate Summary: Margaret Cunningham & Mike Stein

Since early voting begins July 15, we here at Dailyrollcall.com feel it is important for voters to be informed and educated regarding local elections. We believe voting for candidates because they are nice or they are a friend is a dangerous, antiquated idea that unfortunately has been the norm and we now are seeing the results of emotional voting.

So lets begin with Independent candidate for Coffee County Mayor, Margaret Cunningham. In a recent interview with the local news paper Manchester Times, Mrs. Cunningham  implied she was for giving county employees raises: “Certainly for the Ambulance Service. We did it a few years ago for the sheriff’s office even before the current sheriff got in. But in some ways that wasn’t appropriately utilized,” Cunningham said. Cunningham said this year’s budget includes a “good effort to try to get, especially ambulance, back up to scale so we can maintain employees like we finally did with the Sheriff’s Department.

In the June 28th commission meeting minutes, Mrs. Cunningham abstained from voting for this item.

 

Another question surely to raise the ire of Mrs. Cunningham hits close to home..literally. In early June, the Coffee County highway department notified residents paving would begin on the same road Mrs. Cunningham resides on, which is approximately 2 miles long with about 8 homes. Another County road which leads to a heavily traveled event area, Bonaroo, has 37 homes within 2 miles and needs major repairs. Surely there must be an answer to how roads qualify to be resurfaced and repaired right?  

Since our last article on Mrs. Cunningham was posted, we want to be clear that during the recent primaries, we wrote about several Republicans (Garth Seagroves, Josh Morris and others) so voters could get a sense of who they really were. Party affiliation does not matter when it comes to who we expose. Mrs. Cunningham declares herself to be a “conservative Independent”, and distances herself from the “R” party, while damming other she labels “R”.  Her response to our article was angry and threatening, which frankly was unexpected from a woman so many have praised.  Mrs. Cunningham does not like our “planting seeds” from “your kind” as it “discredits” her. This is exactly why we choose to inform voters on who candidates are. 

 Mike Stein:

The High School teacher from Coffee County High School, who chose to use the raised fist as he logo on his candidate signs, and supports all the radical ideologies of groups like Black Lives Matter. Stein’s choice of hardline social justice activism continues as he expressed gratitude for a virtual conference hosted by The Education Trust: Tennessee Coalition for Truth in Classrooms.  No surprise The Education Trust is a recipient of George Soro’s Open Society Foundation grant program. In 2020, the Education Trust received  $50,000  for “general support”. Stein also is a supporter of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and misled readers when he attempted to say students would no longer be able to critically think or discuss controversial topics due to a law in TN that bans CRT. 

The time for electing political figures based on how nice they are, or because they are your friend or neighbor doesn’t cut it anymore. Stop voting with your heart and use your head. Strong leadership based on foundational values is necessary or say goodbye to America.

Coffee County Candidate Summary: Rupa Blackwell & Marian Galbraith

 As early voting begins in Coffee County TN, (July 15th) the following is Part 1 of the summary of candidates you may want to rethink voting for. Whether you are Democrat, Republican or Independent, the most important aspect of voting is to vote for someone that is good for ALL, not just to advance an agenda or personal beliefs. Voting for someone because they are nice, sweet, or out of sympathy can no longer be the barometer on who serves the community best.  America was founded on Judeo Christian principles, guided by faith and a Constitution and Bill of rights. While there may not be a perfect candidate, we must vote for those who believe and affirm our values as Americans.

Never before has our country been so divided, angry and chaos filled, driven by upside down values, antithetical to our founding principles. Beginning with local elections, it is time to recognize the dangerous path we are on. There also is no perfect party, as each one has its problems with rhinos and radicals.

America is not racist, or filled with bigots as many want you to believe. We are already diverse, and inclusive. Yes, we have problems within our history, but erasing it will only repeat it.

Rupa Blackwell,  is a candidate for Tullahoma City Alderman. Ms. Blackwell is the perfect example of who wins based on emotions and sympathy. When a candidate is endorsed and supported by radical organizations, you can expect that candidate to be beholden to them. It also speaks volumes of the candidate beliefs. *Women for TN Future (WTF) has endorsed Ms. Blackwell both times she has run. WTF promotes “progressive” women, and supports BLM , whose founders announced they are “trained Marxists”. WTF also is pro-abortion, pro illegal immigration and pro LGBTQ+, all contrary to American values, whether you like it or not.  If Ms. Blackwell knocks on your door, ask her what her stance is on abortion. Does she accept the new gender or trans movement? Will she be for allocating taxpayer money for those who came here illegally?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some may argue her position on those issues do not affect her as an alderman, but quite contrary. Ms. Blackwell already attempted to form a diversity and equity alliance as a government entity, but fortunately it was voted down. In an article written and published by the local newspaper, Ms. Blackwell insinuates Tullahoma is somehow unwelcoming and racist. “I left Tennessee because of my identity but chose to return in spite of it. We came back- consciously aware that our daughter could be subjected to the same ridicule. But there are so many people here who have also experienced oppression- the underrepresented, and I came back with a desire to empathize with them, advocate for them, and fight for them.” Being an alderman means representing all, not just those she sympathizes with as oppressed or underrepresented. 

There are many pressing questions the citizens of Tullahoma need to be asking of their candidate for alderwoman Rupa Blackwell.

Since you are supported and endorsed by Women for Tennessee’s Future, who are “pro choice” and are fighting for abortion rights in TN, are you pro-choice or pro-life?

Emerge TN, another supporter of you, and their national branch project our country to be primarily run by blacks, browns, lgtbq+ and indigenous people. Do you believe in identity politics, and that qualifications should only be based on race, gender and sexual preferences? 

Since you have been endorsed again by these groups, will you be beholden to their agendas? 

Do you still support BLM?

How do these organizations and their beliefs help the city of Tullahoma to become a better place to live? 

Ms. Blackwell has in the past few years written many articles on her victimhood, and seems to lack the focus and attention to what makes a city better. Personal beliefs are one thing, projecting them into her policy making decisions are quite another. Time to rethink who will better qualify to make Tullahoma greater, not who appears nice and friendly. If you don’t believe or accept who is endorsing you, stand firm and reject that endorsement. In this case, Ms. Blackwell should have run. 

Marian Galbraith

Once again many Democrats are hiding under the “Independent” banner knowing if they run as a democrat in a red county, they may handily lose. Such is the case with Marian Galbraith, running for county commissioner in the 8th district.  As Ms. Galbraith’s political donations will clearly show, she is/has monetarily supported democrat after democrat, including some real winners.

So why is this information regarding donations candidates like Ms. Galbraith and Ms. Rupa Blackwell support  so important? Because donations represent ideologies those donating adhere to. We all do it, donate to those who claim to uphold the values we want, and will instill once elected. That is why it is so important to understand who candidates donate to, but also are supported and endorsed by.

No matter what your political affiliation is, if you are tired of woke agendas, and the turmoil America is in be wise in your voting choices,  It all starts on the local level.
