The Bible speaks of godless individuals who “suppress the truth,” saying, “Although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. . . . Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie. . . . Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. . . . They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil . . . they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:18-32).
Just a few days before he was arrested for solicitation of prostitution, billionaire Republican donor John Childs sent $50,000 to the RNC. But that’s really just pennies compared to the millions of dollars that he’s pumped into Republican candidates and causes over the years. The Florida prostitution sting that has gobbled up several Republicans is only going to get worse as time goes on, and the story goes far beyond just some old men seeking women at massage parlors.

More and more names are starting to trickle out of the prostitution, massage parlor, sex trafficking sting that a netted more than 100 individuals here in our great state of Florida. One of them is everybody knows is Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots who was offered the sweetest of sweetheart deals earlier this week, but instead decided, Nah, screw it. I’m going to fight this in court and I’m going to sue you so that you can’t release any of the evidence to the public. Um, you’re going to lose Robert. You’re, you’re going to lose. And you’re pretty stupid for not taking that wonderful sweetheart deal that they only offered a rich white guys. But make no mistake, Robert Kraft is not the only a republican leaning person caught up in this thing. As it turns out at another Republican billionaire was also caught in this man by the name of John Childs.
And just a few days before Mr childs was hauled away in handcuffs for soliciting prostitution, he happened to make a $50,000 donation to the Republican National Committee. The actual Republican Party itself just a few days before his arrest, $50,000. Here you go. And to make things worse, that $50,000 check that he sent to the RNC, that’s actually pennies compared to the millions of dollars that this man has spent on republican politicians, Republican policies, republican organizations, and anti democratic groups. Here’s a sampling here. A child’s has donated millions through Republican political, uh, operations of recent years, including 250,000 in the 2018 midterms to America first action, which is a Super Pac that supports Donald Trump. He’s also made a six figure donation to America rising a Republican Super Pac that supports digging up damaging information about Democrats and the Senate leadership fund. In addition, obviously to his 50,000 check recently to the R in c and again, this is a man who was just busted for soliciting prostitution, that he was busted in a sting that believed that these women who were acting as prostitutes in these massage parlors, they believed that they were human trafficking victims, that these women were brought over here and performing these things against their will.
And here we have a republican donor who is a billionaire, has given millions to Republicans who just happened to be a customer of these groups. This story is not just about John Childs here. It’s not just about Robert Kraft. In fact, they’re small potatoes compared to the connections that these massage parlors have to, uh, Republicans. More and more is going to come out from this. This is certainly not the end of it. I mean, this is barely even the beginning. We know that the woman who owned these massage parlors in the past, she actually, them did not own them at the time the prostitution was happening. Although she does own other massage parlors now that have also been accused of a prostitution. Nonetheless, she is selling access to Republicans at Mara Lago to wealthy Chinese donors pay her a ton of money. She’ll get you into Mara Lago. She watched the Superbowl with Donald Trump. She’s been in pictures with idiot Republican Congressman Matt Gates. Uh, our new senator slash former governor Rick Scott and our current governor Ron Desantis. This woman is connected to damn near every high profile Republican that has ever stepped foot in the state of Florida. And I promise you this story is going to get much more interesting as time ticks on. Source
Here are the major executives who were caught in Florida’s massage parlor prostitution sting

A six-month human-trafficking and prostitution sting in massage parlors across Florida yielded hundreds of arrest warrants, including several from the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter where at least two business executives were charged of soliciting a prostitute.
Ten spas have closed since the operation that stretched from Palm Beach to Orlando, according to the Associated Press. Cameras inside and outside the businesses were reportedly planted in the operation, with videotapes revealing some of the defendants committing sexual acts.
News reports suggested that although a high-profile executive like New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was implicated in the sting operation, there were more revelations to come.
“There are people down there in that area, I’m told, who say that this story is going to heat up and get a lot worse,” ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter said Friday.
“I’m also told that Robert Kraft is not the biggest name involved down there in South Florida,” Schefter added.
First-time offenders charged with solicitation are typically permitted to enroll in a diversion program and serve 100 hours of community service, a former prosecutor told the Associated Press.
Here are the executives who have been charged in Florida’s prostitution sting:
Robert Kraft, New England Patriots owner
Seventy-seven-year-old Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots with an estimated worth of $6 billion, was reportedly charged with soliciting a prostitute. He was filmed twice in the act at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida.
Kraft denied the charges.
Kraft began dating 39-year-old actress Ricki Lander, one year after his wife, Myra Kraft, died of cancer in 2011. Myra and Kraft were married for 48 years.
“We are as equally stunned as everyone else,” Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said to the Associated Press.
Kraft is worth at least $4.36 billion, though it could be as high as $6.6 billion. He owns two-and-a-half paper companies, a shopping mall, an office park, and a soccer team.
Kraft is a life-long Democrat who has donated to the Democratic National Committee and its candidates.

John Havens, former president and chief operating officer of Citigroup
John Havens, 62, was also on a list of men who were charged for solicitation of a prostitute. He is best known as Citigroup’s former president and chief operating officer.
Haven was Citigroup’s president in 2011, only to resign a year later, according to Bloomberg. He currently serves as the chairman of Napier Park Global Capital, Citigroup’s former hedge-fund division.
Havens lives in New York, but owns multiple properties in Florida, according to public records. He even has one property in Jupiter, close to the day spa at the center of the human-trafficking investigation.
Havens was “born to wealth,” according to a New York Magazine profile, and likes to hunt birds and golf.

John Childs, founder of private equity firm J.W. Childs Associates
John Childs, the 77-year-old founder of private equity firm J.W. Childs Associates, was charged by the Vero Beach Police Department for solicitation of a prostitute.
Childs denied any wrongdoing during an interview with Bloomberg News on Friday.
“I have received no contact by the police department about this charge,” Childs said. “The accusation of solicitation of prostitution is totally false. I have retained a lawyer.”
Since 1995, Childs’ firm have invested around $3.7 billion towards over 50 businesses, according to its website. Childs was responsible for a $77 billion fixed income portfolio with Prudential Insurance Company of America in 1980s, his profile said.
Childs is a major Republican donor who supported GOP candidates in the past such as 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan, according to opensecrets.org.
He has an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion and donated some $4.3 million throughout the last election cycle, according to TCPalm.
Campaign finance records show that Childs gave a whopping $250,000 to America First Action, a superPAC that supports President Donald Trump.
He also donated large sums to the conservative Club for Growth Action superPAC, the Senate Conservative Actions PAC, and the America Rising PAC.
He also backed individual Republicans like Florida Sen. Rick Scott, Montana Sen. Steve Daines, and Indiana Sen. Mike Braun.

Havens came to Citigroup in 2007, when the bank bought the hedge fund he founded with Vikram Pandit. Pandit would go on to serve as the CEO of the bank.
The pair helped the bank survive the financial crisis of 2008.
Havens resigned from his position as president and COO of the bank on the day that Pandit quit in 2012, while under pressure from the board.

Havens met Pandit during their days at Morgan Stanley, where Havens had a two-decade-long career.
Havens’ exit from Morgan Stanley was steeped in drama, according to a 2009 profile of his longtime friend and business partner Pandit in New York Magazine.
The profile states that Havens was among a group that tried to push out then-CEO Phil Purcell in 2005. Purcell did eventually resign, but not before ousting Havens and Pandit.
According to the report, Havens left Morgan Stanley to a standing ovation on the trading floor.

According to the New York Magazine story, Havens was “born to wealth” and has hobbies including bird-hunting and golf.
The article also attributed his baldness to alopecia and said that he “offset” his “unusual looks” with his sense of style, including “flashy ties, suspenders and meticulous tailoring.”

While Havens lives in New York, public records show that he has several properties in Florida, including one in Jupiter not too far from the day spa at the center of the prostitution probe.

John Wesley who said that what we tolerate in our generation, will be embraced by the next. Wesley is 100% correct! We are living in sick times.
For those people who don’t believe God exist and waste so much time trying to convince everyone else he doesn’t exist…
Justice is a word that stands alone, adding anything to it demeans it….
It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.
Children are being misplaced or lost in our foster care system, we must demand more openness and accountability from each state.

“It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. Let me tell you something, friend, it is not love and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth, than to be loved for telling a lie. It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated. It’s better to stand alone with the truth, then to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel and Paul said, ‘If any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
Proverbs 31:8 (NIV)
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute
MY MISSION IS NOT TO CONVINCE YOU, ONLY TO INFORM…
Jesus come quick, there is nothing left in society that’s sacred….
