Dragging a polished cross on training wheels through a celebration of white supremacy while ignoring & whitewashing the clear words and witness of departed racists and calling it all a faithful presentation of the gospel.

The Trump administration has "designated for disposal" the Oklahoma City Federal Building.

🚨 How did an 80-20 Trump county in rural Kentucky also turn out to be the most anti-school voucher county in the state?
I drove there to find out. 🛻
