I like this opinion article by Mark Wingfield. This is a subject that all those who profess to be Christians should give a lot of thought and prayer to.

The hypocrisy of Christian nationalists not feeding the hungry – Baptist News Global
Why can these biblical literalists not comprehend the unequivocal words of Jesus, who said, “When you feed the hungry you feed me”?

Missouri Republicans invoke Christian values to gerrymander out a Methodist minister
Despite what they claim it is ALL politics and has absolutely nothing to do with Christian values. In fact, it is as far from it as possible.
Missouri Republicans invoke Christian values to gerrymander out a Methodist minister • Missouri Independent

I agree 100%. The problem lies with those who can vote and voice their say in their representation. The majority of people are doing nothing about it, not even taking the time to vote!

Forget Trump and the MAGA party. This is what the party of Lincoln used to look like.
"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom."

Nope. Because they are in no danger of the corporate media calling them out.
So, since Republicans are criticizing those who covered for Biden’s mental decline while in office, people in Trump’s inner circle are going to start speaking out about his mental decline now instead of waiting, right?

RIGHT?!?

What's next? Trump's goon squad's are running around in masks and civil clothes picking up US citizens. When is it going to be too much for the people to tolerate? Congress is a lost cause until the elections.

Today's lesson in "don't LISTEN to what they say" WATCH what they do". The problem is that so many voters only do the listening part.
