NATECAST: THE $30 MILLION SOLAR QUESTION; THE IRAN MESS3. WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?
Tomorrow is the Cambria Town Hall, and I have questions. The same Niagara County Republican leadership that promised voters they would stop this massive solar project now wants to help fund it with roughly $30 million in public support. Why? Who benefits? Who’s making money? The company behind the project is a profitable foreign corporation based in Sweden. If the project is such a great investment, why does it need millions from taxpayers? And why did politicians who promised to stop it suddenly change their tune? We’ll break it all down. Trump walked out of an interview complaining that the media hates him. But let’s be honest: the only major media company forced to pay nearly $800 million to settle a defamation lawsuit was Fox News. Meanwhile, war with Iran continues, Americans are getting conflicting information, and nobody seems interested in asking tough questions. Is anyone paying attention? I also discuss the controversy surrounding comments and policies that many Mormons view as attempts to declare that they are not Christians. Whether you’re Mormon or not isn’t really the point. In America, government shouldn’t be deciding which religions are in and which religions are out. Mormons believe in Jesus Christ. They read the Bible. They consider themselves Christians. You don’t have to agree with their theology, but government officials labeling faith groups as acceptable or unacceptable should concern everyone. It’s another reminder that freedom of religion means freedom for everyone.
