Trump’s Bruised Hands Give me Nightmares

Donald Trump’s sphincter-shaped mouth is grotesque, and the toxic rhetoric that emanates from it is nauseating. Trump often juts his chin forward, a gesture that creates shadows and folds in the neck area that resembles an atrophied vagina. His wispy hair looks like cotton candy drenched in urine. He looks like a rabid raccoon due to the stark contrast between his orange spray-on tan and the paler skin around his eyes.

Trump’s face looks like it was stitched together by Dr. Frankenstein, and it never fails to amaze me that his followers see the face of God in this abomination. It is not Trump’s visage but his hands that give me nightmares.

If Trump’s hands had smooth skin, and his nails were perfectly filed they would still be repulsive because they are so tiny. His doll hands are not in proportion with his ungodly girth; they give me the heebie-jeebies.

Trump’s bruised hand and his profligate use of makeup to cover the discolored patch of skin have led even his supporters to fear that he may be at death’s door. His bruised hand and his cankles are symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency.

A morbidly obese septuagenarian, with a vile temper, bruised hands and cankles is not long for this world. I hope the Grim Reaper grabs him by his hands and hurls him into hell.

Happy National Dog Day

“National Dog Day celebrates all breeds, mixed and pure and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues.

National Dog Day honors family dogs and dogs that work selflessly to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort.”

Most holidays celebrate human beings, but even the best of our kind have frailties, weaknesses, and deficiencies. As the Good Book says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” According to the Gospel of Robert, “for all humans are sinners, but dogs are sinless angels, sent to guide us in the path of righteousness.

I feel queasy celebrating holidays which commemorate genocidal monsters like Columbus, or slaveowners like George Washinton. But I delight in celebrating “National Dog Day”, how can I not feel good about celebrating such loyal, loving and beautiful innocents.

I wish I could hug every pooch in the world, but since I’m not omnipresent, I will settle for loving on my doggie, Princess. In her view, every day is equivalent to National Dog Day, as I love on her all the time.

On National Dog Day, I hope you will shower your furry friend with hugs, treats and attention. If you do not have a puppy, today is the most appropriate day to adopt one from your local animal shelter.

Happy National Dog Day to all who celebrate!

Trump Fears He Won’t Make it to Heaven

“I want to try and get to heaven, if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

Fox News is the Trump regime state media, in the same way that Pravda is the official organ of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Fox News is a mouthpiece, a megaphone for Trump’s Republican Party. Fluffing Trump is a ratings winner for both Fox and Trump.

Trump has a penchant for calling Fox & Friends when something is on his mind and he wants a sympathetic ear. He called his favorite morning cable program to talk about his summit with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Apparently, he believes supporting a ruthless dictator and opposing a ceasefire could earn him favor in the afterlife.

What we can glean from Trump’s musing on his prospects of going to heaven:

The morbidly obese septuagenarian with the cankles, unsteady gait, triple chin and bruised hands is closer to death that we’ve been led to believe. Even an evil shit may wonder about the afterlife when the Grim Reaper is stalking him.

The second thing we can deduce is that Trump is not an evangelical. His top advisors and cabinet members are evangelicals. The first rule of the evangelical club is that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, and not by works. But Trump does not believe in God (he thinks he is God), and he does not listen to a word that his evangelical grifters say.

The most important thing we can learn is that Trump was talking nonsense. You can tell he was not serious because he said, “I’m hearing I’m not doing well.” Trump surrounds himself with sycophants, fluffers and flunkies, no one has the balls to tell him that he is not doing well.

Fuck you Trump. If you dare show up at the pearly gates, St. Peter will curse you out.

The Liberty University Sign is an Abomination

Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the James River, Lynchburg is a picturesque city, renowned for its Civil War history, beautiful scenery and small-town charm and hospitality.

When Lynchburgers think of our wonderful burg these activities come to mind: eating a greasy Texas Inn Cheesy Western, climbing the Monument Terrace stairs, watching the Hillcats play in the Bank of the James stadium, shopping in the revitalized downtown, and taking a second mortgage to watch a movie at the River Ridge cinema.

When outsiders think of Lynchburg, the only thing that comes to mind is Liberty University, the Mecca of dispensationalist evangelicalism.

The LU sign, sitting atop Candler’s Mountain can be seen from many vantage points. It’s an aesthetic nightmare, a scar on Candler’s Mountain, and it gives the false impression that LU is central to the town’s identity and daily life.

Austin Candler created a petition on Change.org, titled “Restore Candler’s Mountain to Preserve Family Heritage.” The mountain was named after his ancestor, Daniel Candler.

Candler’s petition seeks to have the “LU” logo changed to a cross, it’s his belief that the gigantic sign mars the Christian heritage embodied by his famous ancestor.

I agree that the LU monogram is an abomination but changing it to a cross wouldn’t be an improvement. How about replacing it with a “Lynchburg” sign, reminiscent of the famous Hollywood sign, that would represent Lynchburg residents, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or political affiliation.

Masked ICE Agents Kidnap High School Student Walking His Dog

Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz, an 18-year-old high school senior, was walking his family’s dog in Van Nuys when he was kidnapped and taken into custody by ICE. The masked Gestapo agents tied his dog to a tree and then unclipped his collar, allowing the family pet to run loose. Benjamin is being held in a cramped holding cell with about 50 others, without access to basic hygiene or adequate food.

You would expect the dateline of this news story to be Tehran, Moscow or another city in a totalitarian regime, and not a city in a country that is supposed to be a democracy. But in Trump’s fascist regime these horrific scenes have become an everyday occurrence.

Trump promised to deport cartel members, sex traffickers, and hardened criminals, but ICE quickly ran out of criminals to deport, and to meet their bloated quotas they are kidnapping and deporting landscapers, construction workers, nannies, and even school children who haven’t committed any crimes.

What was Benjamin’s terrible crime that brought him to the attention of ICE? Allegedly he overstayed his visa.

When I walk my dog, I feel comfortable and at ease and I smile at my neighbors as they greet my pooch. My daily walks provide an opportunity to bond with Princess, interact with neighbors, and engage in physical activity. As a senior citizen, I would be mortified if ICE agents arrested me and released my pet that I regard as a member of my family.

I cannot begin to imagine the trauma that Benjamin is experiencing, his life has been turned upside down, not by common criminals, but by government agents acting like thugs.

Here is the link to a GoFundMe page set up to help Benjamin and his family. Please donate to this worthy cause, thereby demonstrating that there are more of us who cherish our democracy than there are fascist monsters:

Trump’s Military Takeover of DC is a Sheer Demonstration of Power

President Donald Trump held a news conference on August 11, to announce his latest dictatorial move: federal takeover of the DC police and deploying the National Guard to fight a crime wave in the nation’s capital that is not real.

There is no crime wave in DC just like there is no alien invasion, Trump uses these fake emergencies to display his power and to energize his base.

Trump rambled incoherently, as is his wont, leaving no doubt that his brain has turned to mush. Trying to decipher his word salad rant will render you with a migraine at best and scramble your brains at worst. The stable genius bragged that he was meeting Putin in Russia, he will actually meet his fellow dictator in Alaska.

Trump was flanked by former Fox News personalities Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, and United States Attorney General Pam Bondi.

I do not envy these court jesters having to maintain a straight face and pretend that the clown-in-chief is making sense, and at the same time trying not to choke from the stench of his ripe Depends.

I refuse to pretend that there is anything normal about Trump’s fascist regime, and I will use my platform, however small and insignificant it may be, to expose the racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, and corruption of Trump and his cronies.

Kenneth Copeland: It’s God’s Will for Every Christian to Have a Debt Free House

According to the Houston Chronicle prosperity gospel televangelist Kenneth Copeland is the wealthiest pastor in America, with a net worth of $750 million in 2021. The religious charlatan owns several mansions, two Lear jets and a fleet of luxury cars.

Copeland built his empire on the backs of trailer park grandmas who send him their tithes and social security checks in the hopes they will prosper by making him prosper. The only ones who prosper from the prosperity gospel are the con artist ministers, and their families.

Copeland Ministries has a YouTube video (21 House Scriptures) that teaches that it is God’s will for every believer to own a “debt free home.” According to this video, Christians can have a new debt free dwelling by supporting the ministry and manifesting their new home.

It’s the American dream to own your own home, but if you are not a millionaire televangelist you will not suddenly own a debt free home. If you work hard, save your money, make a decent down payment, you will own a debt-free house after you pay off the 30-year mortgage.

You’re not going to believe your way into a new home. You are not going to manifest a new house. And you are sure as hell will never afford a new house if you give your hard-earned money to a religious fraudster like Kenneth Copeland.

Your debt free home promised by Copeland is as real as the heavenly mansion of the old hymn, “I’ve, got a mansion.”

To Hell with Evangelicals

A 2023 Pew Research survey found 32% of nonevangelicals had negative views of evangelicals, compared with 18% of nonevangelicals who viewed evangelicals favorably.

I come from an evangelical background, and I share the disdain many nonevangelicals feel for evangelicals. Even some evangelicals have a negative view of evangelicals, which is why there are so many exvangelicals who become disillusioned with its fascist politics and fundamentalist social stances and have left that narrow-minded religious tradition.

Evangelicalism, as practiced by white Americans, is a narrow road that leads to divisiveness, discord, and damnation.

I urge evangelicals to come to their senses, leave their cult, and become exvangelicals. That doesn’t mean you have to embrace atheism; there are many mainline Protestant, Reformed s and Black Bible churches that practice real Christianity.

It is okay to hate evangelicals, just as it is okay to hate Nazis, Al Qaida, conspiracy theorists and fascists. Evangelicals incorporate many elements of Nazism, fascism, and Islamic fundamentalism. In fact, it is our patriotic duty to hate on evangelicals. I believe I have the Lord’s blessing when I say, Fuck evangelicals. Can I get an Amen?

Trump Walks on the White House Roof

When I saw the video of Trump strolling on the White House roof, I had a vision of the buffoon teetering off the edge and suffering a great fall. I imagine his evangelical supporters gathering around the orange carcass and praying that his rotund corpse would defy gravity and ascend to heaven.

Alas there are no fairy tale endings in real life, and the decrepit idiot will survive falls, diseases and STD’s and not die before his term is over.

Trump is not the first president to take a trip to the White House roof. Jimmy Carter took visitors to the roof to stargaze. Willie Nelson confessed in his autobiography that he smoked weed with Carter on the roof of the White House.

When Trump sauntered on the roof, the attention seeking moron answered questions from reporters assembled below. When Carter trekked on the roof, the only onlookers were Secret Service agents.

Carter wrote a poem about one such experience, in which he observed geese flying through the dimming sky over Washington. It begins:

I recall one winter night,

going to the White House roof

to study the Orion nebulae,

but we could barely see the stars,

their images so paled by city lights.

Can you imagine Trump writing a poem about his experience:

I remember a more beautiful day that anyone has ever seen,

going to the White House roof,

surveying my kingdom,

and looking down at the blouse of a reporter with the biggest boobs in the world.

Ben-Gvir Leads Prayers on Temple Mount

“In an unprecedented move, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir led a group of Jewish worshippers in prayer atop the Temple Mount on Sunday as he marked the Tisha B’Av fast day — the first time that a government minister has overtly worshipped at the flashpoint site in violation of the status quo.”

Times of Israel

There is no more divisive Israeli public figure than Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, he routinely uses inflammatory and racist rhetoric against Arabs in general and Palestinians in particular.  

Ben-Gvir is an Orthodox Jew whose vehement racism and genocidal policies toward Palestinians are camouflaged by religious zealotry.

Israel and Jordan have an agreement allowing Jewish visitors on the Temple Mount but prohibiting them from praying there.  

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem known as the “Noble Sanctuary” by Arabs in the biggest flashpoint in the Middle East, prior provocations by Orthodox Jews in this sacred site have ignited intifadas.

Ostensibly, prayer is a means of communicating with the Almighty, but evangelicals in America and Orthodox Jews in Israel have weaponized prayer. Evangelicals in America publicly pray that God will punish gays and lesbians, and Orthodox Jews in Israel pray that Jehovah will rid Arabs from the Holy Land.

Ben-Gvir did not pray atop the Temple Mount for the peace of Jerusalem, on the contrary he was hoping that his defiant action would incite violence and give Israel an excuse to crush the Palestinians in East Jerusalem.

Ben-Givr is not an aberration, most of Netanyahu’s governing coalition are far-right radicals just like him. It is time for America to stop supporting this racist apartheid regime.

Trump’s Creepy Fascination with Karoline Leavitt’s Lips

President Donald Trump, 79, an adjudicated rapist, serial adulterer and alleged pedophile was asked by Newsmax host Rob Finnerty about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s, 27, performance during her daily press briefings.

Considering that his administration is embroiled in the controversy over his ties to convicted sex trafficker  Jeffrey Epstein, the septuagenarian should have tried to assuage the fears within his own camp that he’s a lecherous old fool by answering like the CEO of a corporation and not the owner pimp of a brothel.

He should have replied: she clearly conveys information, context, and policy to White House correspondents, so they understand my administration’s positions. We know that Leavitt is a hack who channels the Korean news anchor infamous for her enthusiastic and emotional praise of the Dear Leader, but a president can be forgiven for an exaggerated evaluation of his aide.

But Trump should not be forgiven for his sexist and inappropriate response:

 “It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.”

I am also fascinated by Leavitt’s lips, but not in a sexual way. Those lying lips, they indeed move like a machine gun; her rapid-fire delivery eviscerates reporters who dare question the racist and authoritarian policies of her boss.

A CEO who publicly extolled the physical attributes of a subordinate would be summarily fired. It is too bad that the Republican controlled Congress will never impeach and remove Trump from office.

JD Vance Has the Most Punchable Face in Politics

Vice President JD Vance has the most punchable face in politics. When his mug makes an unwanted appearance on my TV screen, I immediately click to a different channel. His visage elicits such a visceral reaction, I fear if I ever see him in person my fist will connect with his face.

Even if Vance’s countenance were as handsome and pleasing as Brad Pitt’s, I would still want to punch him right in the puss, because of his vehement opposition to abortion, demonization of the LGBTQ community and fierce loyalty to Donald Trump. His smug countenance coupled with his devotion to MAGA ideology guarantees that if I ever see him, he will end up looking like a raccoon.

Vance’s round face, thick eyelashes, penchant for wearing eyeliner and killer side-eye makes him the most memeable kisser in politics. There are myriad Vance memes online, and it was only a matter of time until meme-loving Trump posted one. In a Truth Social post, Trump shared an image that shows him and Vance in police cars pursuing Barack Obama, who is driving a white Ford Bronco, emulating the infamous OJ Simpson slow car chase. Vance’s face has been photoshopped to depict him with long, curly hair, pink cheeks, and a fat face. Has Trump has ever smacked Vance behind closed doors?

I’m not advocating physical violence against any politician, however cognizant that Vance is cursed with a punchable face, I advise my readers to take out their frustrations on a JD Vance inflatable punching bag.

It’s Ms. Rachel’s World, We Just Live in It

Rachel Anne Accurso aka Ms. Rachel, a Netflix superstar and social media personality, creates videos specifically designed to help infants, babies and toddlers learn language, numbers, and other foundational skills.

If all preschool teachers were as wholesome, upbeat, and endearing as Ms. Rachel no child would grow up to be a serial killer, rapist, televangelist, or politician.

She exudes so much warmth and goodness that I feel like blowing bubbles, doing cartwheels and kissing babies after watching her videos.

If I were commissioned to paint an angel, I would use Ms. Rachel as my template. My angel would wear denim overalls in lieu of a flowing white robe and it would don a pink knotted headband instead of a halo.

But do not let Ms. Rachel’s sugar and spice vibe fool you, she is a brilliant entrepreneur who makes millions from her videos and branded merchandise.

She puts her revenue stream at risk by advocating for the children of Gaza and by being an outspoken ally of the LGBTQ community.

We should support a celebrity who values doing the right thing over wealth and fame. You can endorse her actions by buying the Ms. Rachel Bush and Figure Push and Pull toy, it has rolling wheels that allow your little one to wheel the bus around your home. It even comes with a miniature Ms. Rachel.

I am not your typical Ms. Rachel fan, I am a senior citizen, her radiance transcends the world of children’s programming.

You go girl!

‘Hate the sin, love the sinner’ ?

Evangelicals justify their judgmental and parochial attitude by uttering the magical phrase, “hate the sin, love the sinner.”

This ubiquitous phrase suggests that they draw a distinction between a person’s behavior and their inherent worth as a child of God. This may hold true for most sins like adultery, gluttony, pride and racism that are endemic in evangelical congregations, but they hate the “sin’ of homosexuality, and they hate gays with a passion.

Evangelicals use this cliché to rationalize their unhinged, vicious, and cruel rhetoric against the LGBTQ community. They condemn them as sinful, unnatural, perverted, and anti-God, then they try to protect themselves from being labeled homophobic by saying, “we hate homosexuality but we love the homosexuals.”

Bullshit!

Gays aren’t accepted into an evangelical congregation unless they renounce their inherent same-sex attraction and pretend to be heterosexual. If a gay is too swishy, they’ll try to pray the gay away, and if that fails, they will force him into gay conversation therapy, and as a last resort they will hold an exorcism to banish the demon of gay perversion.

It is not even true that evangelicals hate the sin and love the sinner. Evangelicals justify and excuse the sins of adultery, political corruption, greed, and even the horrible sin of pedophilia if committed by Trump or any of his supporters.

These hypocrites love sin, and I hope God smites them the next time they say, “hate the sin, love the sinner.”

Kristi Noem Begs God to Protect ICE Agents

DHS Secretary Krist Noem, nicknamed ICE Barbie for her penchant for cosplaying an ICE agent, is on a mission from God to praise, protect and publicize their nefarious activities.

If only she showed as much love for the healthcare professionals, emergency service personnel, critical infrastructure workers, social workers, transportation and logistics workers and teachers, who really make the homeland safe.

During Turing Point USA’s Student Action Summit last week, Noem offered a prayer begging the Almighty to protect ICE agents as they kidnap hardworking immigrants and terrorize minority communities throughout the country.

I can imagine Noem at a Nazi rally in 1930’s Germany offering a prayer for the Brown Shirts as they terrorized dissidents and contributed to the holocaust.

Evangelicals are on the wrong side of history, and they and their orange messiah will suffer the same fate as Hitler and his Nazi sympathizers.

To hell with the likes of Franklin Graham and Kristi Noem, what we need are people of faith like pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer who spoke truth to power, and vehemently opposed Hitler.

WTF is Up with Trump’s Bruised Hand?

WTF is up with Trump’s hand. His grotesque doll hands have long fascinated and repulsed us and led us to conjecture about the size of his presidential pecker. The philander-in-chief was spotted with scabbed red marks on the palm and fingers of his right hand in January 2024, sparking concerns that he had syphilis. Last week a noticeable bruise on the back of Trump’s right hand made headlines again, when he spoke to reporters outside the White House. Trump cartoonishly tried to cover the unsightly bruise with a layer of pancake makeup.

The decrepit septuagenarian has thin skin, literally and figurately, and it’s not surprising that he often sports bruises on his hands. When you are that old, and you take low-dose aspirin for a heart condition, any bump can cause bruising.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that Trump was covering up a bruise from too much handshaking. Bitch, please! Trump is no longer in campaign mode, and he rarely shakes hands.

Leavitt should have been transparent and offered a more plausible explanation:

Melania slapped his hand again.

He accidentally hit his paw against the bed post while pleasuring himself to a video of Stormy Daniels.

He is so old that anything will cause his parchment-like skin to bruise.

It is caused by the demon that possesses his carcass.

Evangelicals Are ‘Hell Bent’ on Doing Evil

“In my upcoming book, Hell Bent, I describe how the evangelical belief in eternal punishment distorts their spirituality. Evangelical politics rest on the same punitive, exclusionary foundation—a politics of division and domination, fixated on the end of the world rather than the flourishing of the Earth. Their politics are ‘hell bent.’”

Brian Recker

I am looking forward to reading Recker’s upcoming book, he is spot-on that evangelicals have a hellish orientation.

They aren’t heavenly minded, and have no desire to make Earth resemble paradise, on the contrary, they are on a crusade to make society chaotic and violent in a selfish and twisted effort to hasten the Rapture of the Church.

Evangelicals’ belief in eternal punishment distorts their spirituality and behavior. They reason that if God eternally punish sinners, then He will not look askance at them rejoicing at the inhumane treatment of “criminal aliens” and celebrating the passage of the abominable “One Big Beautiful Bill” which codifies Trump’s fascist, inhumane and patently cruel fantasies.

Most secular Americans are horrified by Israel deliberately and systematically killing Palestinians and reducing Gaza to rubble. Israel treats Palestinians as a subhuman species unworthy of human rights and dignity, and the apartheid states criticizes anybody who expresses any empathy for their plight.

But evangelicals delight at the slaughter of the Palestinians, because they believe that the Holy Land belongs to the Jews, and Arabs are infidels who must be removed by any means necessary.

It has often been said of the Trump administration that “cruelty is the point,” the same can be said of evangelicals. They aren’t interested in spreading the Good News, they are obsessed with the deterioration of society which they believe are signs of the End Times.

I hope that at least some evangelicals will join me in reading Recker’s debut book, “Hell Bent.”

Trump Wants to Strip Rosie O’Donnell of Her Citizenship

Donald Trump Truth Social post:

“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a threat to Humanity and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her.”

Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland in January 2025; she cited the toxic political climate in the United States as the reason for her move. If everyone were as wealthy as O’Donnell there might be a mass exodus from Trump’s fascist regime.

O’Donnell is an outspoken liberal lesbian, so it is not surprising that she finds herself in the crosshairs of the misogynist and homophobic president.

The wannabe king cannot unilaterally take away an American’s citizenship. Citizenship is a constitutional right and not even the president can take it away without a person’s consent. But remember that the heartless bastard is trying to end birthright citizenship for babies of undocumented immigrants even though the Constitution guarantees that sacred right. The lawless moron may indeed attempt to strip the comic of her citizenship.

The authoritarian tyrant is the one who is not in the best interests of our democracy. I hope our lawmakers are giving serious consideration to impeaching and removing him from office. He is the one who is a threat to our democracy and to humanity. He can remain retired in Florida, if they want him.

Moron Trump Praises English-Speaking Liberian President’s English

During a meeting with African leaders at the White House the President of the United States and putative Leader of the Free World condescendingly praised the introductory remarks by Liberian President Joseph Boakai:

“Such good English, such beautiful—where did you learn to speak so beautifully?” Trump asked. “Where were you educated? Where? In Liberia?”

“Yes, sir,” Boakai answered.

“Well, that’s very interesting. It’s beautiful English. I have people at this table that can’t speak nearly as well,” Trump said.

Trump frequently brags that he knows the “best words”, but he speaks at a fourth-grade level, and I doubt Boakai felt flattered by the compliment emanating from such a moron.

Every time Trump opens his mouth, he embarrasses himself and America. The orange baboon knows nothing about a land he considers a “shithole country”, including the fact that English is the official language of Liberia.

Trump demonstrated what he really thinks about Liberia and other African countries when he dissolved the US Agency for International Development, US support made up almost 2.6 percent of Liberia’s gross national income.

Boakai, ever the consummate gentleman and cordial diplomat, laughed off Trump’s remark and didn’t raise offense to Trump’s compliment.

But as a plain-speaking blogger and embarrassed American, I am under no such restraints, and I speak for most of America when I say: Shut your piehole. I don’t know what’s worse, the diarrhea that pours out of your incontinent arsehole, or the racist and ignorant bile that spews from your sphincter-shaped mouth.

Evangelical Church Urges Trump Admin to Execute LGBTQ Americans

“An Indiana church is urging the Trump administration to ‘execute’ members of the LGBTQ community because ‘the Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death.’

In a sermon titled, ‘Pray the Gay Away,’ Stephen Falco, an evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church, yelled from the pulpit, ‘They’re all a bunch of fa**.”

Raw Story

The tribal God of the Old Testament demanded death, by stoning, for myriad offenses including working on the sabbath, adultery, false prophecy, consulting a witch, divination…

Mainline Protestants and most evangelicals have evolved theologically, morally, and ethically and do not expect this draconian penalty for these “sins” to be enacted by a civilized society.

However, evangelical Christians hate the LGBTQ community, and a few even believe they should be put to death.

If all false prophets (think Trump prophets), adulterers, horoscope aficionados, people who work on Sundays and gay people in evangelical congregations were put to death, the pews would be empty.

Evangelicals deflect and distract from their many transgressions by focusing all their rage on gay men. They hurl epithets at them, dehumanizing them and treating them like people with leprosy.

Extremists like Stephen Falco who call for the execution of members of the LGBTQ community are in the minority, but they allow ordinary evangelicals to rationalize that their homophobia is not so bad, after all they are not calling for them to be murdered.

Pray the Gay away? How about embracing, affirming, blessing and welcoming them to the fold?

Squirting Pink Phallic Symbol in Manhattan Sparks Debate

“A provocative pink sculpture erected in one of New York City’s busiest destinations is enraging locals over its ‘grotesque’ look and not-so-subtle features.

The 10-foot-tall ‘Foot Fountain (pink),’ which is slated to grace Manhattan’s High Line Park through May 2026, is composed of a foot at its base with a flesh-colored column extending upward in all its phallic glory.”

Daily Mail

In a patriarchal society it is understandable that many of our cities have prominent phallic symbols erected to remind everyone that it’s a man’s world

In San Francisco, America’s Gay Mecca, the 210-foot Coit Tower was installed on top of Telegraph Hill. There’s the Ypsilanti Water Tower in Ypsilanti, Michigan, known affectionately by locals as “Brick Dick.” In D.C, where the most powerful men in the world shape our society, there’s the colossal 500-foot-tall Washington Monument. The most famous phallic-shaped building in New York is the 102-story Empire State Building, located in Midtown Manhattan.

Now there is another phallic symbol in Manhattan that is generating buzz. The Foot Fountain Pink sculpture is relatively short for a phallus symbol at only ten feet, it is pink, and its base is a foot, instead of balls. You do not have to be an art critic to deduce that this ridiculous looking penis was created by a woman, Mika Rottenberg.

The piece is topped by a sprinkler that spouts water. Regardless of how you feel about the work of art, at least it serves a functional purpose in these sizzling summer days.

Melania Mimics Trump’s YMCA Dance at July 4 Bash

“First Lady Melania Trump celebrated the Fourth of July, which coincided with the signing of President Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ by emulating her husband’s signature dance on the balcony of the White House.”

New York Post

The “Trump Dance’ consists of the former reality star punching the air with his doll hands in slow motion while swaying his massive hips to the tune of YMCA. When the senile old fool performs his signature dance critics pray that he will lose his balance, fall off the stage, and suffer the same fate as Humpty Dumpty.

When Pentecostal evangelicals dance in the Spirit it is confirmation that they are baptized in the Spirit and are Bonafide true believers.

When MAGA cultists engage in the Trump Dance it is confirmation that they have swallowed the Kool-Aid and are genuine disciples of their orange messiah.

The lunatic-in-chief is the Pied Piper from Mar-a-Lago who is leading a flash mob of MAGA dancing idiots straight down the Yellow Brick Road that ends in a cliff.

Some liberals take pity on Melania, and they argue that she is just playing the part of the trophy wife, and that she is apolitical and does not subscribe to his fascist philosophy. But by dancing the Trump Dance in front of a viewing audience of millions, she is confirming that she endorses his vile agenda.

Donald Trump and Melania Trump can rot in hell, for desecrating a Gay anthem, if for no other reason.

Trump Blasted for Using ‘Shylocks’ to Describe Bankers

“The name ‘Shylock’ derives from the name of the antagonist in William Shakespeare’s ‘The Merchant of Venice.’ Shylock, a Jew, was a ruthless moneylender in the play, and he’s remembered for demanding a ‘pound of flesh’ from the merchant Antonio if he failed to repay a loan.”

Wikipedia

Donald Trump isn’t an erudite or eloquent speaker (no shit), and I didn’t expect him to make any Shakespearean references or allusions when he addressed his MAGA faithful. But the buffoon used the Jewish slur “Shylocks” while referring to unscrupulous bankers during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds meant to celebrate Independence Day.

The low-information crowd didn’t respond (negatively or positively) to the ethnic slur, but I bet the Shakespeare-challenged morons would have erupted in cheers if their orange messiah had used the more commonly known Jewish slur, “kike bankers.”

The ADL condemned Donald Trump for saying “Shylocks”:

“The term ‘Shylock’ evokes a centuries-old antisemitic trope about Jews and greed that is extremely offensive and dangerous. President Trump’s use of the term is very troubling and irresponsible.”

Trump claims he was not familiar with the word “Shylock” being a Jewish slur, says he thought it meant someone who lent money at exorbitant rates.

While it’s true that Trump is functionally illiterate and has probably never even read the CliffsNotes on Shakespeare, the racist pig was aware of the racist connotation.

Trump has appointed people with histories of antisemitism, white supremacy, and Christian nationalism to key positions in his administration.

Of course, Trump hates Jews, just as much as he hates, Blacks, Muslims, Hispanics, Arabs, immigrants of color …

I wish Shylock would eat a pound of Trump’s flesh, namely his brain. Shut him up once and for all!

Evangelical Dispensationalism is an Abomination

American evangelicals are dispensationalists, an offshoot of orthodox Christianity invented in the early 1800’s by John Nelson Darby. It emphasizes a literal interpretation of Scripture, never mind that the canon includes disparate genres of literature: poetry, apocalyptic, allegorical, historical, epistles and even erotica (Song of Solomon) and includes fables, parables and myths that were not meant to be taken literally.

Dispensationalism maintains a distinction between Israel and the Church, and adherents believe that the creation of the modern Zionist state of Israel in 1948 is the ultimate fulfillment of prophecy. America First evangelicals put the interests of Israel ahead of America’s and they blindly support Israel, although the rogue nation is guilty of genocide and colonialism in Palestine, and their Prime Minister is an indicted criminal.

Dispensationalism was tailor-made for American evangelicals, the prime elements (the Tribulation, the Rapture, the Antichrist and Armageddon appeal to Americans love of theatrics, spectacle, and epic scenes of violence.

Evangelicals nurtured by Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth and Tim LaHaye’s Left Behind and weaponized by their Orange Messiah political triumph are on the verge of climax by the bombing of Iran by the USA.

Evangelicals are not praying for diplomacy to prevail in the Middle East; they are cheering on the wanton violence and genocide. They believe that this orgy of violence is hastening the Rapture of the Church.

In their wet dreams evangelicals see themselves floating in the air to meet Jesus in the Rapture, but if the Prince of Peace does return, they will mistake him for the Antichrist and crucify Him.

Evangelicals Think Trump’s Iran Strike was God’s Will

It was unconstitutional for President Donald Trump to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites without approval from Congress. It was criminal and against international norms for the commander-in-chief to declare war on a country that had not dropped a single bomb or fired a single missile at us. It was political malpractice for Trump, who promised to keep us out of endless wars, to entangle us in another conflict in the Middle East.

In his address to the nation Saturday night, Trump said:

 “I want to just thank everybody. And, in particular, God. I want to just say, we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel and God bless America.”

The amoral sociopath sounded like the preacher-in-chief as he invoked the name of God to try to justify his strikes against Iran. I’m sorry but the strikes against Iran were unconstitutional, criminal, and immoral. Would a deity bless bombing Iran, on behalf of a nation that is committing genocide in Gaza?

Evangelicals were overjoyed with Trump’s presidential benediction; they were impressed with how many times he crammed the word “God” into his uncharacteristically brief speech. Evangelicals believe that anything that helps Israel and hurts Muslim nations is hastening the return of Jesus Christ. These sick wankers think that America bombing Iran and that Israel slaughtering over 55,000 Palestinian civilians is accelerating the Rapture.

I am so goddamn sick of Trump and his evangelical cult, keep God out of ya mouth.
