Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen was twice acquitted of hate speech charges for expressing a biblical view of marriage. She will now be dragged back to court after state prosecutors appealed the decision‚ according to a statement Friday from the Alliance Defending Freedom‚ which is representing Räsänen. Räsänen‚ who is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland‚ sent out a tweet in 2019 that questioned the church’s decision to endorse an LGBT pride event. The post referenced verses 24–27 from the first chapter of Romans‚ which condemns homosexuality. Despite the country’s constitutionally protected right to freedom of expression‚ Finnish authorities opened an investigation into Räsänen’s tweet and her previous activity‚ including comments she made during a 2019 radio debate and in a pamphlet on marriage and sexuality that she wrote for her church back in 2004. Räsänen was charged in all three instances for violating section 10 of Finland’s criminal code‚ which prohibits messages that insult‚ threaten‚ or defame based on group identity. Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola was charged as well for his role in publishing the pamphlet.  In March of 2022‚ a Helsinki district court ruled unanimously to acquit Räsänen and Pohjola. Nevertheless‚ Finland’s prosecutor general brought the case to the Helsinki Court of Appeals‚ which ruled unanimously once again in favor of the defendants in November 2023. Now‚ prosecutors have appealed a second time‚ demanding that both Räsänen and Pohjola be censored and ordered to pay tens of thousands of euros in fines. Finland’s Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the case.  Räsänen‚ who endured questioning by police over her religious beliefs‚ has stated that she is “ready to defend freedom of speech and religion” at the Supreme Court‚ and that she will go “as far as the European Court of Human rights‚ if necessary.”  Räsänen further expressed her fear of seeing the church in Finland move away from biblical teachings. Not only is marriage in question‚ she said‚ but “it is also about salvation. If people do not believe in [the] Bible‚ how can they trust the good news of [the] Gospel?” Regardless of future court rulings‚ it’s clear that Räsänen will continue speaking what she believes: “[W]e are all created in the image of God‚ but we all are also sinners‚ and we are in need of grace.” She encouraged others to do the same. “It is time‚” she said‚ “to be open about your convictions.” The post Finnish Politician Goes Back to Court for 2019 Bible Tweet appeared first on The American Spectator | USA News and Politics.

United Airlines CEO admits company wanted to fulfill DEI (Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion) quota in flight academy where '50 percent...of the classes will be women or people of color.' United Airlines is facing heated criticism for hiring pilots based on race and sex rather than skill level. The issue revolves around an interview United CEO Scott Kirby gave to Axios in June 2021‚ where he admitted the company wanted to fulfill a DEI (Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion) quota in their United Aviate Academy where “50 percent…of the classes will be women or people of color.” Scott Kirby‚ the CEO of United Airlines (@united )‚ wants to emphasize that Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) guided racial and gender quotas are the key considerations when determining who will be piloting your upcoming flight. pic.twitter.com/tGztV7YCnM— Michael O'Fallon – Sovereign Nations (@SovMichael) January 14‚ 2024 “Today‚ only 19 percent of our pilots at United Airlines are women‚ or people of color‚ and by the way from all the data I’ve seen that’s the highest of any airline in the country‚” Kirby said. The United Aviate Academy is a flight training program where aspiring pilots can learn to fly and have an opportunity to join United Airlines as a pilot.Winter Sun Plus is NOW 40% off! Boost your natural defenses with this powerful vitamin D3 and K formula! Kirby’s admission sparked fears the airline company could be endangering the lives of passengers by hiring based on woke DEI standards instead of experience or other relevant factors. Former President Donald Trump’s son Don Jr. pledged to give his business to other airlines that don’t adhere to DEI protocols. “Is there a single US based airline that is not using DEI in their hiring practices for pilots &; people involved with caring for large objects moving 600 mph at 36‚000 feet?” Don Jr. wrote on X Monday.

A rating/booking agency letting us know &; choose based on that‚ like seat choices‚ would be amazing as well. Despite their virtue signaling‚ I imagine all the most insane liberals would likely also want to know and plan accordingly.” DEI in the aviation industry has been a topic of great interest over the past few months‚ as more people realize their lives are being put in the hands of pilots who might not have the proper experience on the flight deck. A viral social media post on the subject last week purportedly made by an airline pilot claimed DEI is being implemented slowly and that soon older more experienced pilots will retire and leave incompetent DEI hires in charge. 🚨Getting DMs from pilot world confirming that things are bad‚ but this one is really scary.

Just pray you don’t end up with the unlucky ticket‚” commented the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh.

Mark my words‚ people are gonna die. And when it happens‚ The System will move heaven and earth to protect the DEI hires. https://t.co/9Ctk8l7FZ4— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) January 9‚ 2024 As someone who flies 200‚000-300‚000 comercial miles a year and who has a pilots licence the DEI stories coming out of airlines and Air Traffic Control are terrifying.

As the Kirby clip recirculated on social media‚ conservative X account Libs of TikTok on Sunday pointed out the United CEO actually dresses in drag and is a member of the LGBTQ+ mafia‚ further evidence he full-on supports the leftist agenda. This is Scott Kirby‚ the CEO of @united. He likes to dress up in drag. United hired a drag queen to be their CEO and now United has turned their focus to incorporating drag into their business and sponsoring drag shows. https://t.co/Hhzd5o6SyN pic.twitter.com/9tqkjTfVvs— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) January 15‚ 2024 Will airlines bring an end to this DEI madness before innocent passengers are made to pay the ultimate price? Or will they just gaslight the public into believing that lower safety standards as a result of DEI practices are normal?
