Alleged Pedophile Matt Gaetz Owned by Teen Pro-Choice Activist

Matt Gaetz, the controversial Florida congressman, has two claims to fame: his unabashed love affair with Donald Trump, and for being under investigation for the statutory rape of a 17-year-old girl.

Gaetz made the following juvenile comments at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, proving that he’s more immature than his audience of conservative college students:

“Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions. Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb. These people are odious from the inside out. They’re like 5′ 2″, 350 pounds.”

A dork who’s a dead-ringer for the cartoon character Butt-head shouldn’t be comparing a woman to a thumb, when he looks like a butt-head.

Olivia Julianna, a 19-year-old pro-choice activist, responded to Gaetz’s reprehensible comments with a tweet:

“Its come to my attention that Matt Gaetz — alleged pedophile — has said that it’s always the ‘odious… 5’2 350 pound’ women that ‘nobody wants to impregnate’ who rally for abortion. I’m actually 5’11. 6’4 in heels. I wear them so the small men like you are reminded of your place.”

Almost immediately Gaetz responded by posting a screenshot of Julianna’s profile picture, in an attempt to body shame the overweight activist.

Julianna has monetized her Twitter feud with the alleged pedophile congressman and raised over $1 million for abortion access.

Julianna got the best out of the alleged pedophile, we can only hope that he will soon be convicted for rape and that we won’t hear for him again.

Miles Taylor: Mike Pence Has Erect Posture but Flaccid Conscience

“On the day Mike Pence and Donald Trump both spoke in Washington, a former member of their administration poured scorn on Pence’s attempt to portray himself as a potential Republican presidential nominee, and competitor to Trump, in 2024.

Speaking on CNN, Miles Taylor said: ‘If you want to know what the Mike Pence vice-presidency was like, Mike Pence is a guy with an erect posture and flaccid conscience. He stood up tall but he did not stand up to Donald Trump.’”

The Guardian

Miles is spot-on, Pence’s posture is normally erect, but the rigid evangelical and firm conservative turns into a jellyfish when it comes to Donald Trump.

Throughout his tenure as vice president, Pence was subservient to his Lord and Master Donald Trump. In fact, the only part of his body that was erect was his penis, especially when it was in close proximity to the Dear Leader’s rear end.

Pence portrayed himself as a devout evangelical, but he failed to speak out against Trump’s amoral and corrupt behavior. Pence’s allegiance to Trump was greater than his commitment to his faith, and that’s why he debased himself before his Orange Messiah.

Pence was willing to humiliate himself before the grifter-in-chief and compromise his religion in order to reach his ultimate goal, become president after serving faithfully as Trump’s second-in-command.

Pence’s adoration of his tyrannical boss finally came to an abrupt end when he disobeyed the former president’s demand that he refuse to certify electoral college results from key swing states.

Pence did the right thing by accepting his ceremonial rule in certifying the electoral college results, but he didn’t really stand up to Trump, not even as he put his life in danger by posting anti-Pence tweets during the insurrection, Pence still hasn’t unequivocally lambasted Trump’s treasonous behavior.

Pence’s hypocrisy and cowardice renders him unfit to serve as president of the United States.

Brooklyn Pastor Robbed of $1 Million in Jewelry While Preaching

Brooklyn’s Bishop Lamor Miller Whitehead is a politician and religious leader, and he’s the pastor and founder of Leaders of Tomorrow church.

I’m not a member of any organized religion, but according to my personal theology the hottest parts of hell are reserved for politicians and preachers.

These professions pay modest salaries but by hook or by crook, too many preachers and politicians retire as millionaires. Who knew that serving the electorate or serving a congregation could be such a lucrative endeavor?

I’m not a prophet, but you don’t need the gift of discernment to realize that Bishop Whitehead is a corrupt politician and a crooked pastor to amass such tremendous wealth.

The flashy Brooklyn minister infamous for wearing designer duds and brilliant bling was robbed along with his wife of more than $1 million while he was preaching at his church Sunday.

Three avenging angels entered, the church, held a gun to the pastor while he was preaching, and ripped of the jewelry from the humble servant of God.

The brazen thieves treated the bishop with too much deference, they should have punished him for such an ostentatious display of wealth by not only ripping off his jewelry, but forcing him to take of his designer outfit and left him naked before his congregation. 

There is No Place for Proud & Independent Women in the Evangelical Church

“Evangelical women have long attended church at higher rates than evangelical men. But today that gap is narrowing, not because more men are coming but because more women are leaving. Such women are increasingly likely to ‘deconstruct’ their faith or identify as ‘nones’—a rising population of the religiously disaffiliated.”

ChristianityToday.Com

It’s easy to convince the LGBTQ community that they are not welcome in the evangelical movement. While society at large, and even most conservatives, accept marriage equality and the intrinsic value of gays and lesbians, homophobia still runs rampant in evangelical churches and colleges.

It’s only self-hatred and an irrational fear of damnation that keeps closeted gays in evangelical churches while their pastors demonize homosexuality from the pulpit.

It’s easy to convince the Latino community that they are not welcome in the evangelical churches. The mainline Protestant churches and the Catholic Church have outreaches to immigrants, and they are in the frontline of the battle for racial equality. Racism runs deep in evangelical circles, and most evangelicals believe in the Republican heresy that our country is being invaded by rapists, gang bangers, and other criminals from Mexico and Central America.

It’s only a deep desire to assimilate that makes immigrants remain in evangelical churches where their culture isn’t appreciated or valued.

It’s easy to convince African Americans that they are not welcome in predominantly white evangelical congregations. Trumpism, the new religion of white evangelicals, is synonymous with racism. Evangelicals have demonized the BLM movement and civil rights organizations.

Only Uncle Toms remain in evangelical churches, when they know damn well that most of their brethren hope and pray that heaven will be segregated.

But it’s more difficult to convince women to leave the toxic environment of evangelical churches. The fair sex is welcomed in evangelical churches, as long as they realize that according to the Bible, they should be subservient to men, especially their husbands and religious leaders.

I urge women to join Latinos, African Americans, and the LGBT community in leaving the undemocratic and unchristian evangelical movement.

Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone Calls Josh Hawley a ‘Little Bitch’

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley famously gave a raised fist salute to pro-Trump protesters outside of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, while safe behind a cordon of law enforcement officers.

Hawley imagined that his raised fist salute would make him look as bad ass as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, but that iconic photograph has come to represent his cowardly and treasonous behavior.

Michael Fanone who worked for the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia from 2002 to 2021 called Missouri Senator Josh Hawley a “little bitch” after the January 6 committee concluded their hearing last night.

Fanone was dragged by a mob down the Capital steps, beaten with a pipe, stunned with a Taser and threatened with his own gun during the January 6 insurrection. If anyone can recognize a little bitch, it’s a warrior like Fanone who put his life on the line defending Congress, including little bitches like Hawley.

Last night the House January 6 committee played a video of Hawley running to safety inside the Capital building like a little bitch. That’s the real Hawley, not the little punk raising his fist in solidarity with the insurrectionists. When the history books are written, they will describe Hawley as a trick ass bitch and Fanone as a brave warrior.

Georgia Evangelicals Prefer the Moral Degenerate Herschel Walker Over Statesman Raphael Warnock

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) is running for reelection in Georgia.

Warnock is the senior pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Martin Luther King Jr.’s former congregation. The tireless man of faith has continued in his post at Ebenezer while serving in the Senate.

You’d think that a man who serves God as a Baptist minister and serves his community as a Senator would have the blessing and endorsement of white evangelicals.

But alas, the vast majority of evangelicals in Georgia are supporting the evangelical Republican candidate, Herschel Walker.

Walker, who was endorsed by former President Trump, is a moron, who is ethically, morally and intellectually unqualified to serve as senator.

Walker resembles the moral degenerate Donald Trump in many ways:

Like his orange messiah, Walker is a pathological liar. He falsely claimed he was an FBI agent and police officer. He falsely claimed he graduated from the University of Georgia. He falsely claimed to own a drapery business. He falsely claimed that his food company, that has only eight employees, was the largest minority-owned food company in the United States.

Like Trump he is an idiot. He believes that the fact that monkeys aren’t extinct is prove that evolution is false, since “evolution teaches humans evolved from monkeys.” He is a climate change denier who recently uttered incoherent remarks in which he claimed that America’s “good air” moves over to China, while China’s “bad air” “moves over to our good air space.”

Like Trump his personal life is messy. Walker has so many illegitimate children that until recently he hadn’t publicly acknowledged, that he makes Nick Cannon look like a celibate monk.

Herschel Walker is a symbol of the moral depravity and intellectual inferiority of evangelical Republicans.

Georgia, please do the right thing and elect Raphael Warnock as your senator.

Biden’s Disastrous Fist Bump with Saudi Crown Prince MBS

Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, colloquially known as MBS, the crown prince, deputy prime minister, minister of defense of Saudi Arabia, is for all intents and purposes the dictator of Saudi Arabia.

In 2018 he authorized the torture, murder and dismemberment of the body of Saudi journalist and Washington Post columnist, Jamal Khashoggi.

In a 2019 Democratic debate Joe Biden vowed that the United States would teach dictators a lesson by punishing Saudi Arabia and making MBS a pariah.

Fast forward a few years, and Biden is now the president of the United States, the price of gasoline is through the roof, and he makes a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia to ask MLB to produce more oil.

There was no way that Biden could avoid physically greeting MBS, so he opted for a fist bump over a handshake, betting that it would seem less friendly than a handshake.

What a disastrous calculation. The image that was published in just about every newspaper in the world depicted a frail 79-year-old president fist bumping a young and vibrant 36 Saudi prince. It’s such an incongruous image, most people were thinking, “who thought Gramps to fist bump, and does he even realize what he’s doing?”

A 79-year-old codger fist bumping is as disconcerting as men greeting each other by holding each other testicles, as was the custom in the days of the Old Testament.

A fist bump is more intimate than a handshake, people will shake hands with people in a business setting, but they are more likely to fist bump their friends at a party or other informal setting. Why is Biden being so jocular and intimate with a murderous dictator?

Biden, for the love of God, don’t ever fist bump anyone again, not for COVID, or for any other reason.

Biden Must Announce He’s Not Running for Reelection Now

The likelihood that President Joe Biden will have serious primary challengers is rising as his polling numbers continue to sink, inflation continues to rise and his cognitive skills continue to decline.

A serious primary challenge to a sitting president is rare, but then again, we’ve never had a septuagenarian president who’s manifestly physical frail and cognitively impaired.

In 1980 President Jimmy Carter was able to successfully fend off a primary challenge by Senator Ted Kennedy, but the effort left him weak and battered and he ultimately lost to Ronald Reagan.

There is a slim to zero chance that a cognitively challenged Biden will come to his senses, announce that he’s not running for reelection and thereby avoid a contentious battle for the nomination. Biden has white privilege up the wazoo, and too much pride to do what’s good for his party and the country.

It’s becoming increasingly likely that Donald Trump will announce that he’s running for president before the mid term elections. I would advise Democrat presidential hopefuls like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Governor J. B Pritzker to do likewise.

It takes years to mount a successful presidential campaign, and it’s imperative that serious presidential hopefuls declare their candidacy as soon as possible.

Biden is a stubborn imbecile and he doesn’t deserve any deference or respect, I beg the likes of Newsom and Pritzker to begin their presidential campaigns now.

Democrats and democracy itself can’t survive a Joe Biden or Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign.

Evangelical Pastor John MacArthur Covers up Cases of Sexual Abuse and Sexual Assault in His Congregation

John MacArthur is an 83-year-old non-denominational pastor and author known for his internationally syndicated evangelical teaching radio and television program “Grace to You.”

MacArthur doesn’t rely on interesting anecdotes or spell-binding oratory, he is an expository preacher and his sermons are liberally sprinkled with chapter and verse.

The elderly pastor wears a suit a tie, he hasn’t adopted the casual wear of most of his ministerial colleagues, and he doesn’t have an endorsement deal with clothing manufactures like some of his brethren.

He is a dour-looking evangelical godfather and evangelical leaders are afraid to distance themselves from him, even though credible accusations have been levied against him, including allegations of covering up sexual abuse and child molestation cases. Why evangelicals may be fearful of distancing themselves from John MacArthur – Baptist News Global

He reminds me of the moral degenerate and politically corrupt Donald Trump, Republican leaders are afraid to distance themselves from him because it means they would lose influence and power.

MacArthur gets away with covering up cases of sexual abuse and child molestation, because females are the victims of almost all of these crimes, and in evangelical circles they are considered second-class citizens.

If two men kiss in a movie or TV show evangelicals get their panties in a twist, but if women parishioners are sexually abused by clergy its swept under the rug.

MacArthur is reprehensible, and he’s representative of the entire evangelical movement, sick to the core.

Twitter Should Ban Jesus Tweets

Hardly a week goes by that a biblical verse or an invocation of Jesus isn’t trending on Twitter. This is unacceptable. Period.

Twitter should strive to make its platform free from the noxious virus of organized religion, it shouldn’t be a virtual home for religious myths and fables.

Everyone believes that their deity and the prophets of their faith are immune to the laws of physics and common sense, and that every other religion is nothing but superstition and nonsense. Twitter shouldn’t discriminate and the social media behemoth should assume that all religions are nonsense and ban all religious tweets.

Twitter has algorithms in place to detect and delete tweets promoting QAnon conspiracy theories, racism, ant-vaccine nonsense and homophobia. Considering that evangelical Christianity is synonymous with Trumpism, white nationalism, homophobia and xenophobia it’s incumbent upon Twitter to make its platform Jesus free.

Evangelicals are free to turn the loving and merciful Jesus of the Gospels into a homophobic and misogynist tyrant on their social media platforms, but the world’s premier microblogging site should be Jesus free.

Evangelicals Should Love, Accept and Support the LGBTQ Members of Their Churches

The Public Religion Research Institute released a study on sexual orientation and religion.

According to this study 80 percent of white evangelicals said they did not have any LGBTQ people in their friendship network.

I’m betting that some of the white evangelicals who claimed not to have any LGBTQ friends are themselves gay or lesbian. When same-sex love in condemned from pulpits as sinful, unbiblical and unnatural, I can understand why gay evangelicals would be afraid to come out to their fellow congregants, family, friends and even anonymous poll takers. The truth is that there are gays and lesbians in the choirs, leadership and membership of evangelical churches.

If closeted evangelicals realized that there are just as many LGBTQ persons in their churches as there are in society at large, maybe they would demand that their ministers stop their homophobic rhetoric.

Even though women and gay men compromise most of the membership of many black evangelical houses of worship, many black pastors condemn homosexuality from the pulpit, when the choir lofts behind them are filled with gay singers and musicians and the church members who are shouting “Hallelujah” the loudest are gay.

Enough with the unbiblical hypocrisy, self-hatred, homophobia and fear mongering. Evangelicals should love and accept the gay members of their churches.

Church Neighbors Complain Illuminated Cross is a Health Hazard

Although 70% of the Norwegian population are members of the Church of Norway, only 2% attend church regularly and up to 25% of the population is non-religious and do not believe in either God or other higher powers.

But Christians in general and evangelicals in particular are a divisive and disruptive force even in secular countries. Practicing evangelicals may be a minority in Norway, but they cause problems way out of proportion to their minuscule numbers.

An Evangelical Lutheran Church in Skien is a disruptive force in its residential neighborhood. Neighbors are complaining that the light from the cross on top of the church tower is too bright and constitutes a health hazard.

Christians are supposed to be a light to the world, they are called upon to magnify the light of Christ’s love, compassion and peace. But evangelicals, especially in America, have turned their backs on the light of Jesus, and are blinding society with the neon light of extremism and religious hucksterism.

The light of the evangelicals doesn’t warm the soul and it doesn’t illuminate the truth, on the contrary it sears the soul and blinds us to the beauty in the world.

The Skauen church in Skien should replace their illuminated cross with a simple wooden cross, they should seek to minister to their neighbors instead of antagonizing them.

Would You Buy Trump’s Picture Book ‘Our Journey Together’ for $999?

Trump’s coffee table picture book “Our Journey Together” was released earlier this year with a hefty price of $75, or $230 for an autographed copy. It features photographs from his time in the White House, with captions written by Trump. I haven’t read the accursed thing, and I have no plans to do so, but I’m guessing the captions include a lot of superlatives.

It’s no surprise that the book sold out of its initial printing of 200,000 copies, Trump sycophants have enough discretionary income to buy anything related to their messiah.

Trump never misses an opportunity to grift his followers, and “Our Journey Together” has been repackaged in a red cover with his John Hancock inside the book. This “special edition” sells for $999, and it includes several new photos. Marks also get “a signed copy of a book written by Donald Trump Jr. and a MAGA hat.

The only thing special about this edition of Trump’s picture book seems to be that it includes a few more pics, and the novelty of the autograph inside the book, as opposed to the cover. There’s a sucker born every minute.

I’m still waiting for the grifter-in -chief to publish a book of his tweets, it would outsell the bible in red states, and he could sell it for over a thousand bucks.

There is no room in my library for a picture book with captions written by a functional illiterate twice-impeached former president, and a book ghostwritten for his idiot son.

Trump Endorsed Illinois Gubernatorial Candidate Says ‘Let’s Move On’ Hours After Highland Park Massacre

Less than two hours after the Fourth of July mass shooting in Highland Park, Darren Bailey, the Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate in Illinois, uttered this reprehensible statement:

“Friends, let’s pray for the law enforcement and even the organizers of this parade, The shooter is still at large. So, let’s pray for justice to prevail, and then let’s move on and let’s celebrate the independence of this nation.”

Bailey’s first inclination was to pray for law enforcement and the organizers of the parade, instead of the victims of the Trump-supporting killer.

Bailey’s comments weren’t meant to console the victims, it was a political statement meant to express his solidarity with law enforcement.

Two hours after the latest in an endless barrage of mass shootings, Bailey was already calling for a grieved community to “move on.”

And then of course, in an attempt to demonstrate his fealty to evangelicals he called on people to pray for justice to prevail.

How many times have we seen this reaction from Republican politicians in the aftermath of a mass shooting: Move on there’s nothing to see here, and a ritual offering of thoughts and prayers.

We must not move on. We must express sympathy for the victims, and take active measures (gun control, increased access to mental health services) to make sure there won’t be many more victims.

Finally, let’s not insult a grieving community by offering useless “thoughts and prayers” after a tragedy.

Life on Earth Will be Paradise After Evangelicals Disappear in the Rapture

Evangelicals believe in the Rapture of believers, where born-again Christians around the world will taken up to the clouds to meet Jesus prior to the unleashing of apocalyptic events that will make the biblical flood look like a relaxing session in a Jacuzzi.

Even secular Americans are familiar with images that depict the Rapture like empty pile of clothes in cars and planes whose drivers and passengers have suddenly disappeared. They may not know the meaning of the deity of Christ or be familiar with the doctrine of salvation by faith, but they’ve heard about the Rapture.

The word “rapture” doesn’t appear in the King James translation of the Bible, and until relatively recent times most Christians didn’t believe in a literal and physical Rapture of the Church.

Modern day evangelicals have a Holy Ghost orgasm every time war breaks out, an earthquake kills thousands or a pandemic devastates a population, because they believe these are the signs of the end times that were prophesized to take place before the return of Jesus.

They don’t have any sympathy for the suffering of unbelievers, and they consider anyone who isn’t an evangelical an unbeliever, including not only Muslims and Jews but Catholics and mainline Protestants.

If evangelicals believe in crappy science fiction nonsense like the Rapture, we shouldn’t be surprised they believe in crazy conspiracy theories like the Big Lie or that the world is controlled by a cabal of Satan worshipping pedophiles.

Evangelicals believe that after they’re raptured life on Earth will be hell. But the fact is that life would be paradise without the homophobic, misogynist, vengeful, hateful and intolerant a-holes. The horrors of the Tribulation would be a small price to pay for getting rid of evangelicals.

Dystopian Nightmare: Rape Victim, 10, Refused an Abortion

A 10-year-old girl who became pregnant after being raped was refused an abortion. The dateline for this article isn’t Iran, Saudi Arabia or 1950’s America. This misogynist nightmare happened in Ohio, the heartland of America, and the child who was six weeks pregnant was forced to travel with her parents to Indiana to obtain an abortion. This is the dystopian reality in post-Roe America.

This will soon be the harsh reality for millions of Americans, half of all states are expected to ban or severely restrict abortion rights.

Christian zealots control the Supreme Court and the Republican Party, and like all religious fundamentalists they view women and girls as nothing more than orifices for male sexual gratification and vessels for giving birth. For them it’s natural for a pre-teen girl to be pregnant, and they believe she shouldn’t be robbed from giving birth, the greatest achievement of any female.

Organized religions have been patriarchal and misogynist since time immemorial. According to historians and biblical scholars Mary was 12-14 years when she gave birth to Jesus, and in evangelical circles it’s not uncommon for males to take very young brides.

Evangelical Christians are the minority in America and it’s an outrage they have such an outsized influence in our secular democracy. A 10-year-old pregnant child shouldn’t be forced to travel to another state for an abortion in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

Let’s make America America again, and vote these undemocratic conservative Republicans out of office. The life of your young daughter may depend on it.

A Second Trump Term Will Make the Apocalypse Look Like a Sunday School Picnic

The first time Donald Trump ran for president, he did it to boost his brand, and his presidential campaign was the most audacious publicity campaign in history.

Trump had no expectations of winning, he had nothing but disdain for his political opponents, and he considered it the ultimate in slumming for a billionaire to compete with politicians for a political office.

Trump was shocked when he actually won, and he came to the presidency with no political agenda or ideological vision. The grifter-in-chief used his position as president of the United States and Leader of the Free World to enrich himself, seek vengeance on his enemies and grift his followers.

Trump may soon announce his candidacy for the presidency, and this time his motivation will be to avoid prosecution. He is banking on the belief that the Attorney General of the United States Merrick Garland won’t have the guts to indict a former president and current presidential candidate.

This time Trump will run with the expectation of winning, regardless if his opponent is Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris. His second term will be a nightmare of vengeance, pillaging, and grifting. His second term will make the apocalypse look like a Sunday School picnic.
