Even Kentucky has a few democratically-elected liberal officials.

Officials like left-wing Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. Fischer banned church services — even drive-in services — to slow the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus (COVID-19). The decree led to a lawsuit, followed by a temporary restraining order from parishioners desperate to hold drive-in services on Easter Sunday. (Daily Wire)

The lawsuit, though, has proven even more effective. According to The Daily Caller, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer has backed down on his initial policy, now allowing drive-in services even outside On Fire Christian Church’s time-limited restraining order.

“Drive-in services consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s social distancing requirements may be held, according to an agreement between the Kentucky mayor and On Fire Christian Church’s legal representation, the nonprofit public interest law firm First Liberty Institute announced in a Tuesday press release,” the report outlined.

“We are grateful to Mayor Fischer and Louisville city officials who worked with us to ensure their policies are both consistent with the Constitution and the CDC’s guidelines,” said Roger Byron, Senior Counsel for First Liberty Institute, the press release said.  “During this challenging time, we need to see more of this kind of cooperation between government officials and the religious community.”

“We are pleased that the mayor was willing to work together with our client to find a solution that protects religious liberty exercised in a responsible manner,” added Matthew Martens, partner at law firm WilmerHale. “Like everyone, On Fire Christian Church looks forward to the day when they can meet together in-person again without being restricted to their cars.”

Personally Thank Trump for His COVID-19 Response! [ACT NOW]

  1. The mayor is still due the most severe charges for his attempt to destroy civil rights and the most severe punishment. – there is another Democrat, a governor, of Louisiana who put out his list of guidelines right after the White House did – only the last of that gov’s guidelines reads “Mass is canceled.” – not synagogue or mosque or any Lutheran services, but specifically Mass which means Catholic.
    Same thing applies to him – severe charges and severe punishment.
    The Democrat KGB Party is being very stupid with their Communist policies and applying them to American Citizens as if the media attempted assassination of our minds 24/7 worked and made us play dough ninnies, or something, and they could do whatever their evil minds dreamt up.
    They should pay attention b/c the Silent Majority has sent out a bit of a token to Protest – but that is the 2nd Boston Tea Party in progress and leave it to the Democrat KGB not to realize it, maybe even after the 2nd shot to be heard round the world the Dem KGB will still be ignoring it b/c they’re so involved in Getting Trump and they have to Get Us First, which anyone can see isn’t working, but that’s their fault, all that happens to them is their fault and that includes Barr and Durham.

        1. ALSO WE NEED “TERM LIMITS” TO EVERY ELECTED GOVERNMENT AND STATE EMPLOYEES IN THE USA. TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS

          1. So get with your states and push for them to join the Convention of States, article 5 which we’re hoping to gain a majority of states. Then the convention will convene and term limits, benefits, salaries etc. will all be discucssed. Whatever is voted on, the Congress MUST abide by under Article 5.

          2. If those who attend that church and others will bother to go out and vote and maybe even run against this guy, then Fischer may find out that exceeding your authority because you hate Christians DOES HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

    1. We must all REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

      Remember the Dems’ chant for impeachment BEFORE Trump tok up residence in the WH.
      Remember the Dems’ attempt to tie Trump to a Russian hoax.
      Remember the Dems’ sad impeachment over a legitimate call and process with Ukraine.
      Remember the Dems’ stuffing their personal wants and desires in a Bill written to give the U.S.
      citizens fiscal relief during the COVID quarantine.
      Remember Pelosi tearing up the President’s speech like a petulant child.
      Remember the Dems’ desire to keep our borders open at all times.
      Remember the Dems’ giving OUT TAX DOLLARS to illegals in our nation.

      REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

      1. And remember that on President Trump’s FIRST DAY all those idiot dems had those t-shirts saying “he is not my president”. That was after we suffered 8 years of President Obama. I guess they are just too dumb to understand that if they live HERE, he IS your President.

    2. If you’re so desirous to assemble I implore you to go to hospital ICU wards with coronavirus patients. Don’t wear PPE or practice social distancing. Clean up in those rooms. Scrub the floors, bathe the patients, take out the medical waste, help carry the deceased patients to the morgue. Show us how truly brave you are to protest your freedom being taken away.

      1. I’m sorry you’re living in such fear, Mike — a really awful way to live your life. And the intended consequence of the liberal media and liberals in general. Perhaps the real answer for all of us is, that people like you who are so afraid and or perhaps particularly vulnerable, should absolutely have the liberty to stay inside. And for those of us who are taking necessary precautions (which we should be doing all the time anyway), to have absolute liberty to continue living our lives. That’s what this great country is all about. This has not been a Pandemic, it has rather been a Panicdemic! Hysteria and fear-mongering to create panic, and gain control and power over the people. And neither you nor any “expert” will ever persuade me any differently — even THEY don’t always agree, and they change their “predictions” almost daily. These epidemics/pandemics have been happening since the world began — they come, make people sick, cause death, and treatments and vaccines are created, so if/when they happen again, it’s ok — we’re ready. But the world didn’t shut down because of them! And it shouldn’t have shut down this time. This is me exercising my liberty to speak freely. To quote Patrick Henry: “Give me liberty or give me death!” And to quote a protestor’s sign: “Give me liberty or give me coronavirus.” Some of us prefer freedom, working, being able to take care of our families and expenses, being able to visit our loved ones who are ill from other non-related illnesses and diseases, etc. Perhaps you and so many others have forgotten that death happens by the hundreds of thousands every day for other reasons? And I don’t find death from this virus to be any more devastating than those deaths — bet their loved ones don’t either. So I choose liberty!

  2. President Trump has left out a key part of the health care community – epidemiologists – those who study the spread of disease. John Ioannidis of Stanford and David Katz are examples. Virologists and immunologists are not enough. Georgia governor mentioned that he had consulted with epidemiologists for his plan to open. Hopefully President Trump will include them in his plans.

    1. What the real problem is The USA took GOD OUT OF EVERYTHING AND THAT WILL BE OUR DOWN FALL. PUT GOD BACK INTO OUR SCHOOLS AND ALL BUILDING IN THE USA OR WE ARE DOOMED

      1. You do realize that when you say putting God back in our schools that means you will be putting in the God of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Wiccanism, Christianity and so forth. You don’t get to pick and choose. You open yourself up for multiple lawsuits if you exclude a belief system; whether you choose to accept or believe in that belief system, or not.

  3. I noticed something while at Home Depot yesterday, I have never see the amount of dogs with their owners. I would say this Social Distancing is causing people to turn to their pets more as they want need desire to be with someone something. What is horrible is church is for fellowship and to worship the Lord, and for that reason we need fellowship between us and our Lord. I am thinking this Social Distancing is a passion of anger irritation that will eventually come out in a way the Democrats do not expect. They want to get rid of Trump but all this Social Distancing is going to back fire in the end. This looks like the Bolshevik Revolution. We need each other, especially those suffering and dying in hospitals. They need touch and loved ones around them. Many might have lived if they had encouragement, instead of isolation.

  4. The attack on Catholicism and Christianity began a long time ago. Saying merry Christmas was offensive, displaying Christmas colors in school was prohibited. Larry David urinating on a portrait of the Blessed Mother was comedy. Let these brave liberals do the same to a portrait of Mohammed.

    1. Their disdain for Almighty God will one day be met with HIS righteous judgement upon them and all who fail to put their faith in His Son, Christ Jesus.

  5. ARTICLE: “We are pleased that the mayor was willing to work together with our client . . . .”

    Ohh PULLEASE! The mayor wasn’t willing – HE WAS FORCED via the lawsuit. Don’t ever think Democrats do ANYTHING for the good of the American people. They care only about their own power.

    Here’s proof – – How many Dem Politicians visit inner city churches to enter the pulpit and ask for the vote of those congregants (so much for separation of Church and State). How often do those churches see those politicians AFTER the votes are tallied? NEVER!

  6. Democrats are using the pandemic to become dictators!! They want to “reshape & reimagine” how our country should move forward. House arrest is just the first step to a communist regime.

  7. Y’all have a Republican Legislative Branch. Put forth a bill to have her recalled. Then have the populace vote on it. By mail in/online ballots, if necessary (yes, poetic justice). They tried to recall Gov. Scott Walker (didn’t work). This will work. You can’t allow this Nazi beatch to steamroll over “You, the people”.

  8. The people of NYC better start standing up to deBlasio before they are gone as we know NYC today. After threatening to permanently close any churches or synagogues caught open and holding services – deBlasio is now providing 450,000 meals for Muslims for Ramadan with NY tax payers money. That should show New Yorkers where deBlasio’s allegiance goes – and it is NOT to them.

  9. The isis dems are this country’s biggest threat to our freedoms and must be stopped however possible. They cannot be trusted no matter what just like their pisslamic butt buddies. (when they’re not screwing their goat girlfriends)

  10. Do
    not vote Republican vote consultative .
    WHY..https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/10/08/donald-trump-debate-mike-crapo-mike-lee-barbara-comstock/91784714/

  11. Ever since I came to this country , US citizens are
    Loosing more and more freedoms. This country is devised like never before, religiously, politically , race wise etc etc. multiculturalism doesn’t work.
    People that come/go to another country have to adapt to the culture of that country , otherwise there will be nothing but problems/ divisions
