Outrage: Franklin Graham Selling Pro-Trump T-Shirts at Billy Graham Library

“Now Franklin Graham is inviting evangelical Christians to wear their support for Donald Trump, America`s 45th president.

The North Carolina-based evangelist is selling “Pray for 45” T-shirts in the store at Charlotte`s Billy Graham Library.

It`s Graham`s answer to “Impeach 45″ T-shirts, baby clothes and Frisbees that were briefly advertised by third-party sellers on Walmart`s website.”

Charlotte Observer

Televangelists` stock-in-trade is selling ridiculous religious trinkets such as prayer cloths and anointing oil to their gullible followers.

Not to be outdone by his evangelical brethren, the Rev. Franklin Graham is selling “Pray for 45” T-shirts in the store at Charlotte`s Billy Graham Library.

Billy Graham must be rolling over in his grave at the idea of a T-shirt supporting a president who resembles the anti-Christ more than Jesus Christ being sold in a library named after him.

To add insult to injury the online ad for the profane T-shirts includes a pitch from the Bible.

Many sincere Christians pray for Trump regularly, they pray that he will turn from his wicked ways and embrace God. White evangelicals, on the other hand, pray that God will bless the most corrupt, racist and inept administration in history.

The store at the Billy Graham library should sell KKK pointy caps and dunce hats, they would go perfectly with the pro-Trump T-shirts.

Vision of Hell: Taco Bell Selling Taco-Themed Sweaters and Leggings for the Holidays

“Taco Bell is trading turkeys for tacos – and getting in the holiday spirit for Thanksgiving.

The Yum! Brands fast food chain partnered with Tipsy Elves to release a line of taco-themed sweaters and leggings fit for the holidays so fans can showcase exactly what they`re grateful for: Taco Bell.

tacobell

The red sweater says, `Thankful for Taco Bell,` while the blue one reads, `Happy Friendsgiving,` alongside an images of a taco-turkey.”

Fox News

I occasionally patronize fast food restaurants; I might stop at a McDonald`s for their excellent coffee or drop by a Chick-fil-A for their tasty Waffle Potato Fries, but I`d rather make a run to the border of hell than eat at a Taco Bell.

As an Hispanic I find their menu an affront to my culture, Taco Bell is to Mexican food what a 7-11 frozen pizza is to Italian food. In fact, Taco Bell barely qualifies as real food, they`ve been sued over meat that`s just 35 percent beef.

Taco Bell is probably the only fast food franchise allowed in hell, but I`ll never know for sure because I`m destined for a place where I sit on clouds and munch on Krispy Kreme donuts.

I think it`s entirely appropriate that the God-awful Taco Bell is releasing a line of ugly Christmas sweaters and leggings. I`m a peace warrior and I don`t advocate violence against anyone, but a cretin who wears a Taco Bell sweater and leggings for the holidays should be dropped in a vat of boiling hot Taco Bell grease.

These execrable clothing items don`t come cheap, the sweater will set you back $59 and the leggings are $28.

If I die and wake up only to be greeted by a demon sporting leggings covered in tacos I know that a horrible mistake was made!

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to all my readers, and may there be no Taco Bell sweaters and leggings in your X-mas stockings.

Jim Acosta Is a Preening Showboat But He Deserves First Amendment Protection

“A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to restore the press credentials of Jim Acosta of CNN, handing the cable network an early win in its lawsuit against the president and members of his administration.

Presiding over one of the first major tests of press rights under President Trump, Judge Timothy J. Kelly of United States District Court in Washington ruled that the White House had behaved inappropriately in stripping Mr. Acosta of his press badge shortly after a testy exchange at a news conference last week.”

The New York Times

Stripping CNN journalist Jim Acosta of his press credentials because he`s stubborn and obnoxious was a grave violation of the First Amendment, and I am delighted with the federal judge`s ruling.

Donald Trump may be the only person who`s happier than me, Acosta is the perfect foil. He`s the perfect sap for the White House`s anti-press crusade, every time Trump or Press Secretary Sarah Sanders tango with Acosta the president`s base salivates with glee. Trump`s followers hatred of reporters is only slightly less than their revulsion of gays and feminists.

Trump didn`t need to resort to the nuclear option to silence the preening CNN reporter, he could simply ignore him and not call upon him to ask any questions.

Acosta`s fellow White House correspondents probably despise him more than Trump, he hates relinquishing the microphone and attempts to turn every question into a mini-interview. Acosta is as reluctant to give up the microphone as a crack head is to let go of his crack pipe.

I`m betting that at the next White House press briefing Acosta will be called upon to ask a question, he`s catnip for Sanders and Trump.

Acosta doesn`t need another rebuke from Trump or Sanders, but his employer should counsel him to ask his question, and a follow-up if necessary, and try not to turn every press conference into the Sanders and Acosta circus.

Donald Trump Cracks Joke About Antonin Scalia’s Sex Life! Gross!

“President Trump sparked a tweetstorm Friday when he cracked a sex joke about the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia during a Medal of Freedom presentation at the White House – with his widow Maureen McCarthy seated in the audience.

After reading an introduction that noted the Scalias had nine children, the president said: `You were very busy. Wow. I always knew I liked him` as some in the crowd chuckled.”

The New York Post

Donald Trump is like your crazy uncle who has a penchant for blurting out the most cringe-inducing comments at the most inopportune times. The kind of uncle you never ask to say the blessing at Thanksgiving dinner because he just might thank the good Lord that he didn`t get the clap from the neighborhood crack whore.

At a most solemn occasion, a Medal of Freedom presentation at the White House, our creep-in-chief cracked a sex joke about the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia – with his widow seated in the audience.

Thank you Stable Genius, the image of a dead Scalia having sex is now indelibly imprinted on my mind. You have offended a bereaved widow and grossed out an entire nation.

Trump Admits He Should Have Gone to Arlington on Veterans Day

“President Donald Trump expressed regret in an interview to be aired this weekend for not marking Veterans Day with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

`I should have done that,` the president told Fox News Sunday in an interview that will air on Sunday. `I was extremely busy on calls for the country.`

Trump faced criticism this week for not laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington on Monday, the day the federal government closed to observe Veterans Day.

The president had no public schedule that day.”

USA Today

Marking Veterans Day with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery is a no-brainer for a president, only the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz and the Stable Genius would have made the unforgiveable mistake of staying home and tweeting.

This grave mistake came only days after Trump was roundly criticized for skipping a ceremony at a cemetery for American soldiers in France, because he didn`t want his urine-colored cotton candy hair to get wet from the rain.

Trump expressed regret explaining that he was “extremely busy on calls for the county.” That`s like a husband explaining that he was sorry for missing his spouse`s funeral, but he was too busy mowing the lawn.

Let`s not lose sight of the fact that Trump campaigned on veterans` issues, now we know how much he really cares about veterans.

Donald Trump is a national disgrace, I can`t understand why veterans or anybody else still supports him.

Robert Paul Reyes: My List of Thanksgiving Blessings

The Thanksgiving season is once again upon us and it`s time to reflect on our blessings. Here`s a list of blessings:

I`M CANCER-FREE

It`s interesting how the older I get the more I`m grateful for things that I once took for granted, like good health. I was diagnosed with cancer March of this year and I underwent radiation treatment July and August and I am now cancer-free.

I`M SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING MY DIABETES

I was also diagnosed with diabetes this year, and I am managing this potentially deadly disease with medication and a healthy diet. It`s impossible to defeat diabetes if you`re overweight or obese, and I`m thankful that I`ve lost more than 30 pounds this year, and for the first time in my adult life I`m not overweight.

THESOP.ORG

I thank Judyth Piazza the CEO of theSop.org for allowing me to write for her Web site. Since 2008 I`ve posted thousands of essays and I`m grateful they`re carried by Google News.

MY PETS

Mandy my loyal pooch and Ebony and Tico my playful and mischievous cats are a constant source of joy and love.

MY LITTLE PINK HOUSE

When I read about the hundreds of homes that have burnt to the ground in the California fires, I thank God for my tiny mortgage-free dwelling.

MY FAMILY

I couldn`t have made it through this season of medical drama without the prayers and support of my sisters.

MY READERS

I appreciate all the positive feedback from my readers, I`m even grateful for the criticism, it serves to make me a better writer.

Now That Election is Over Racist Donald Trump Has Stopped Mentioning the Caravan

“From October 16 to November 6 — aka Election Day — President Donald Trump sent 45 tweets mentioning the border between the United States and Mexico. Between October 16 and October 31, he sent nine tweets referring to the caravan of migrants making their way across Mexico.

Here`s a typical one: Many Gang Members and some very bad people are mixed into the Caravan heading to our Southern Border. Please go back, you will not be admitted into the United States unless you go through the legal process. This is an invasion of our Country and our Military is waiting for you!

Since November 6 — 8 days and counting — Trump hasn`t mentioned the so-called caravan once in a tweet.”

CNN

During the weeks preceding the midterm elections Donald Trump peppered his campaign speeches with apocalyptic warnings about the caravan of MS-13 gangbangers and drug traffickers making their way across Mexico on their way to invade America. He sounded like a drunk Nero warning the Romans that the barbarians were at the gate ready to rape their women and plunder their wealth.

Trump`s Twitter feed was also replete with warnings about the imminent invasion by hordes of brown people; his followers were terrified that soon there would be a taco truck parked in every corner and a bodega in every town square.

But once the election was over and Democrats gained control of the House Trump stopped mentioning the so-called caravan. Somehow, this terrifying caravan must have been miraculously stopped before reaching the border, or maybe these thousands of men, women and children, marching together for safety, never posed a threat to the United States.

What`s tragic is that only a fraction of these poor desperate souls seeking freedom in our great democracy will be granted asylum. What`s amazing is that even with a racist authoritarian in the White House thousands still seek asylum in America.

Can You Imagine Stable Genius Donald Trump as a Jeopardy Contestant?

“Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek zinged Donald Trump as he imagined how the president would fare as a contestant on his long-running game show.

Trebek, in an interview with Vulture published Tuesday, said Trump `might not agree that any of the correct responses are correct.`”

Huffington Post

I can`t imagine the Stable Genius would fare well in the game show that`s well-suited for Brainiac nerds. He would leave the show as bankrupt as he has left some of his companies.

The fuc*ing moron would never be able to master the use of the Jeopardy buzzer — a good thing because he wouldn`t know any of the answers.

If by some miracle he was able to hit the buzzer before the other contestants, once he provided the wrong answer, he would shout “fake news” when Trebek informed him that he was incorrect.

The ignoramus would complain that there weren`t any categories like “porn stars” and “Nazis.”

Of course he would also complain that Jeopardy was rigged, and that Trebek was a liberal loser.

Serena Williams Named GQ ‘Woman’ of the Year

“GQ named Serena Williams its Woman of the Year on Monday, and not everyone is happy about her cover.

The magazine announced that Michael B. Jordan, Henry Golding and Jonah Hill were some of its Men of the Year, and that the all-time tennis great was its sole Woman of the Year — but it`s the outlet`s decision to put the word “woman” in quotes that is turning some heads on Twitter.”

AOL News

GQ is a monthly men`s magazine that focuses on fashion, style, culture and health for men, and it`s not uncommon for GQ to adorn its cover with a hot female celeb to entice men to buy the publication.

To be perfectly honest GQ might lure me into buying their magazine if they feature the likes of a Rihanna or Britney Spears on the cover, but any image of the muscular Serena makes my balls shrivel to the size of marbles.

However there was no need to insult Serena by putting the word “woman” in quotes. Serena is the greatest tennis player (male or female) in history and she deserves to be treated with respect.

Women come in all sizes and shapes, and if Serena`s musculature make you uneasy or even queasy that`s a perfectly reasonable reaction. Just don`t insult her because in your opinion she looks like a man, and respect her accomplishments in the world of sports and the culture at large.

Shame on GQ and bravo to Serena for all that she has done for tennis, women and for society in general.

The Heavenly Choir Will be Presided Over by an EDM DJ and Not a Gospel Star

“Twin decks perched on a candlelit altar, Robert Hood mixed trademark minimalist techno with God as the charismatic producer and ordained priest wowed a packed Berlin church Friday night.

Hundreds of hip Berliners, most of whom had come to dance rather than pray, were swept along by Hood as priest-cum-DJ, as well as an amateur gospel choir and two female priests at St Thomas church in the cool if dilapidated district of Kreuzberg.

The thumping bass bass beat did its best to make the walls of the 19th century Protestant neo-gothic style church — one of the city`s largest — shake as a black-clad Hood led the proceedings and professed himself much moved by the occasion.”

AFP

There is no genre of music that can be identified as the only acceptable form of spiritual worship, the Holy Spirit moves to the beat of hip hop, centuries-old hymns, as well as country gospel.

But in my humble opinion in paradise it`s all about that bass, no treble, or country twang.

Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and minimal techno in particular has a hypnotic repetitive beat that will lift your spirits to a trance, fugue state or spiritual epiphany if you will.

The heavenly choir will be presided over by a DJ like Robert Hood and not a Gospel star like Kirk Franklin.

Hood an ordained minister as well as a DJ makes the walls of his 19th century gothic style church shake, and the spirits of his flock tremble as they dance to the techno beat and contemplate the divine.

If you`re walking by a church and you hear the congregation singing “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” and you walk by another church and all you hear is the thump, thump thump of EDM don`t assume that one church is of God and the other one is of Satan.

It`s all good!

Jim Carrey Depicts Donald Trump as a Horse’s Ass in Latest Masterpiece

“Never work with children or animals. They are scene stealing and completely unpredictable – I mean children and animals.”

W.C. Fields

Jim Carrey certainly knows the truth of that old show business adage, in the film “Mr. Popper`s Penguins” eight penguins stole the spotlight from Jim him in the family friendly flick.

Actor turned artist Jim Carrey depicted President Donald Trump as a horse`s ass in his latest artwork.

Carrey depicted Trump as a horse`s ass in his fiery exchange with CNN reporter Jim Acosta in Wednesday`s press conference.

Trump looks like an animal, unfortunately he doesn`t resemble a cute puppy or an adorable kitten, but a diseased orangutan.

Nevertheless he always steals the spotlight because he babbles and acts like a child throwing a tantrum.

I don`t envy the White House press corps, it`s almost an impossible task gleaning any important information from a vulgar man-baby.

Carrey never won an Oscar for his work as a thespian, but he certainly deserves the highest award in art.

Michelle Obama: When They Go Low, We Go High

In the summer of the 2016 presidential campaign when Donald Trump was viciously attacking his Republicans challengers and Democrats alike, Michelle Obama famously said: When they go low, we go high.

That statement embodied the Obama`s optimistic message of hope, forgiveness and change. The Obama administration gave us hope of a post-racial society where racial harmony and the brotherhood of man reign supreme. But all of our hopes for a more perfect union were demolished with Donald Trump`s victory.

The Trump regime is marked by income inequality, violence against women, white supremacy, xenophobia and nativism, and we should no longer abide by Michelle Obama`s famous saying.

You fight fire with fire, and when Trump and his enablers and sycophants go low, we should aim high and kick them right in the balls.

Hopefully our national nightmare will end soon with Trump`s impeachment and removal from office, but until that glorious day arrives we must punch back at the bully-in-chief.

We love you Michelle Obama but our new motto is: When they go low, we go postal.

Donald Trump is a Master at Projection

Projection:

An unconscious self-defense mechanism characterized by a person unconsciously attributing their own issues onto someone or something else as a form of delusion and denial.

A way to blame others for your own negative thoughts by repressing them and then attributing them to someone else. Due to the sorrowful nature of delusion and denial it is very difficult for the target to be able to clarify the reality of the situation.

A way to transfer guilt for your own thoughts, emotions and actions onto another as a way of not admitting your guilt to yourself.

Urban Dictionary

Donald Trump is constantly criticized because he`s such a horrible human being, but like most psychopaths he`s a master at projection.

During Wednesday`s press conference Trump employed this tactic when reporters asked him legitimate questions about his nasty tone and racist rhetoric.

When PBS`s Yamiche Alcindor asked Trump in a measured tone whether his decision to call himself a “nationalist” may have emboldened white nationalists, he angrily replied:

I don`t know why you`d say that, such a racist question. I don`t believe that, I don`t believe it. To say that, what you said, is so insulting to me.

Trump calling himself a “nationalist” is one of the symphony of dog whistles that he has employed to appeal to his racist base. It is the epitome of projection for a brazen racist to call a black journalist a racist for merely doing her job.

When CNN reporter Jim Acosta asked about a racist, anti-immigration commercial, that even Fox News stopped airing, Trump bit his head off screaming that he was “a rude and terrible person.”

Acosta is a dogged reporter in the mold of Sam Donaldson, but he`s neither rude or a horrible person. Mocking losing Republican candidates who didn`t ask Trump to campaign for them because they were running in suburban districts where`s he`s anathema is the very definition of a rude and terrible person.

Trump`s strategy of projection isn`t fooling anyone, he`s universally despised in the homeland and around the globe.

Yamiche Alcindor and Jim Acosta are a dutifully serving the nation by holding Trump accountable for his toxic words. They will go down in history as heroes for speaking truth to power, and Trump will go down in history as a rude and terrible president.

Old Codger Forgives Pooch Who Shot Him

“A 74-year-old man who was shot by his dog while hunting in New Mexico says he forgives the 120-pound Rottweiler-mix named Charlie.

`He`s a good dog,` Tex Gilligan, recovering in Texas after the accidental shooting, told ABC News. “`He] did not mean to do it,` he said.

Gilligan was in the New Mexico desert hunting jackrabbits when Charlie, one of three dogs with him at the time, reportedly caught his paw on the trigger of the gun and fired a shot which hit Gilligan in the back through the driver`s seat.”

Time

A septuagenarian has no business driving, let alone hunting, at that advanced age your vision is shot, your reflexes are as slow as molasses, and your mind is on permanent vacation.

Gilligan`s license should be suspended, his hunting rifles should be confiscated, and he should be confined in a rest home where the most dangerous weapon at his disposal would be a plastic butter knife.

Gilligan doesn`t deserve any credit for forgiving his pooch, he`s the one who left the gun positioned in the truck with the barrel facing up, towards the driver.

I respect the elderly and when I see my eighty-something neighbor raking the leaves on his front lawn I wave hello, but if I saw him loading a rifle into his vehicle I would pray that the Grim Reaper would pay him a visit.

Silly Chelsea Handler Poses Semi-Nude to Encourage Her Followers to Vote Blue

“The outspoken former talk show host, who has been very vocal about her political leanings in recent months, stripped down to next to nothing in an effort to promote voter participation in the upcoming midterm elections, which take place on Tuesday.

Handler took to Instagram rocking nothing more than a pair of black lace underwear, and covering her chest with her arm, while standing around in a sizeable dressing room.

“You have to vote, like your life depends on it. Vote!” a mostly nude Handler playfully intoned, before detailing her upcoming engagements stumping for Democratic California congressional candidates Katie Porter and Gil Cisneros.”

AOL

Kudos to Chelsea Handler for going to extreme measures in an effort to promote voter participation in the midterm elections. I share her desire to flip the House and the Senate as a check on Donald Trump. Over the last couple of years I`ve written hundreds of anti-Trump essays, but I`m not going to post a pic of myself in my tighty whities to urge people to vote. That would have the opposite effect of making voters turn away from politics altogether.

Although I appreciate Handler`s enthusiasm I question her judgement, a pic of a semi-nude 43-year-old woman isn`t going to convince anyone to vote. In fact only a boob would be persuaded to vote by a topless photo of a woman past her prime.

Screw anyone who thinks I`m guilty of body shaming, anyone who posts a semi-nude image of himself/herself on social media is inviting praise as well as criticism.

But Handler`s point is well taken, for God`s sake vote blue to emasculate the racist buffoon sitting in the Oval Office.

America Will Do the Right Thing and Vote Blue! Trump Will be Humiliated!

On Election Day 2016 Americans elected an ignoramus President of the United States. Under the guise of not being politically correct Trump ran an openly racist and nativist campaign, and under the cover of an anti-establishment stance we held our noses and elected him to the highest office in our land.

The message was dutifully sent: A pox on both parties, America was sick and tired of the corrupt Bush and Clinton dynasties. The message may have been delivered, but we paid a stiff price, the racist, homophobic and misogynist presidential candidate intensified his divisive rhetoric as president and through executive orders enacted policies that discriminated against women, gays and lesbians and minorities.

In these midterm elections it`s incumbent upon us to restore some semblance of checks and balances by voting blue and flipping the House and Senate.

The electorate that elected Trump in 2016 is not who we truly are, we must prove to ourselves and to the world that America doesn`t tolerate nationalism, nativism, racism, homophobia and racism.

As I pen this essay the polls haven`t closed yet, but I`m optimistic that we`re going to do the right thing and flip the House and perhaps the Senate, and in the process deliver an unambiguous message to Trump.

Texans Sick and Tired of ‘Beautiful Ted Cruz’

During the 2016 presidential campaign Donald Trump mercilessly attacked Ted Cruz as `Lying Ted`. For good measure he also disparaged the looks of his wife, and claimed that his father was involved in the conspiracy to murder John F. Kennedy.

Naturally the press was curious how Trump could switch gears and enthusiastically support Cruz`s Senate campaign. Journalist Jonathan Karl asked Trump if Ted Cruz was still Lyin` Ted and he replied: He`s not Lyin` Ted anymore. He`s Beautiful Ted.

The nickname “Lyin` Ted” stuck like glue to Cruz, because mendacity is the essence of the Senator from Texas. It takes one to know one, and Trump christened Cruz with the perfect moniker.

I don`t think the new handle is going to stick, can you imagine a Texas redneck saying, “I`m going to vote for Beautiful Ted.”?

There is nothing beautiful about Cruz, his heart is the size and the texture of a kidney stone, his mind is a black hole where good thoughts disappear, and his face has been compared to everyone from Dracula to Grandpa Munster to ALF.

I doubt even Cruz`s homely wife has called him Beautiful Ted, Slimy bastard maybe, Zodiac Killer a-hole maybe, but Beautiful Ted, never!

If Beto O`Rourke beats Cruz I will be so overjoyed that I will call Cruz beautiful, and French kiss the ugly bastard.

Trump’s Racist Desire to Remove Right to Citizenship for Children Born in US of Undocumented Immigrants.

If a constitutional law scholar like President Barack Obama tried to amend the Constitution with a stroke of the pen via executive action I would be alarmed.

Amending the Constitution is a laborious process, and no president however brilliant he may can change or amend the Constitution with no input from Congress.

“The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.”

https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution

When a president who is an ignoramus and a fuc*ing moron thinks he can amend the Constitution with the stroke of a pen that`s enough to give me a stroke.

Trump is bulldozing through constitutional norms again with his suggestion that he can remove the right to citizenship for children born in America of undocumented immigrants.

This right is enshrined in the Constitution; we live in a constitutional democracy and the law isn`t what Trump says it is, and no man is above the law.

Even the stable genius must realize that he doesn`t have the power to change the Constitution all by himself, he just wants to stoke anti-immigrant passions before the midterm elections.

Let`s keep this racist in check by voting blue on November 6, 2018.

Cat Sashays Down Catwalk

“A cat who wandered onto the runway during a fashion show in Turkey managed to upstage the models themselves.

A video taken at Istanbul`s Esmod International Fashion Show shows the nonchalant feline grooming itself before strutting down the catwalk and playfully lashing out at a model trying to steal its thunder.”

Time

A cat strutting down a catwalk isn`t as strange as it may seem, they are natural born divas and they love the spotlight. I have two cats, and they rarely run from one room to another instead they casually stroll around my house as if they are trying to impress me with their regal walk.

I imagine most of the catcalls at the fashion show in Turkey were for the cute kitty, she was really working it.

The cat tried to scratch another model, typical catty model behavior. I`m just glad it didn`t spark a catfight.

Anyway, enjoy the video:

Donald Trump is Halloween’s Scariest Monster on New Yorker Cover

“Even scary-looking characters run from a trick-or-treating Donald Trump on The New Yorker`s Halloween-themed cover.

In the artwork titled “Boo!” that fronts the Nov. 5 issue, the president grins as he saunters down the street holding two jack-o`-lantern buckets overstuffed with candy. But his presence strikes fear into other trick-or-treaters dressed in spooky costumes. They attempt to skedaddle as their hard-earned treats fall to the ground.”

Huffington Post

It boggles the mind that evangelical Christians and other assorted riff-raff look upon Trump with fondness as a heroic figure.

True believers overlook Trump`s moral failures and personality flaws out of political expedience, but nobody remains enthralled by a con man forever, and within their lifetimes they will come to their senses.

In the future Donald Trump will be universally perceived as a scary monster like Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler.

The New Yorker`s Halloween-themed cover depicting Trump as a trick-or-treater scaring the Bejesus out of other trick-or-treaters dressed in frightening costumes in a testament that not everybody in our generation drank the Kool-Aid.

In the artwork titled “Boo” Trump grins as he saunters down the street, seemingly oblivious that everyone is fleeing from his unholy presence.

The resistance is cognizant of the damage Trump is doing to our democratic institutions and our social norms, and we are determined to keep him in check by voting blue November 6, 1918.

Join me in defeating this Halloween monster by voting for Democrats in the midterm election.

Fake Christian Mike Pence Invites Fake Rabbi to Pray for Victims of Synagogue Massacre

“American Jews, in shock over the massacre of 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue, voiced outrage Tuesday after Vice President Mike Pence hosted an election event with a so-called `Christian rabbi`.

Pence took part late Monday in a campaign rally for Lena Epstein, a Jewish Republican running for the House of Representatives, in suburban Detroit, Michigan.

At the rally Loren Jacobs, who uses the title “rabbi” but espouses Christianity, was invited to speak on behalf of the area`s Jewish community.

Instead of opening up with prayers for the 11 Jews shot dead Saturday at the Tree of Life synagogue, Jacobs praised Jesus Christ and then offered prayers for four Republican candidates.”

Yahoo News

A “Christian Rabbi” is an oxymoron, kind of like an “Evangelical Christian.” American Jews were already in shock over the massacre of 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue, and Pence added insult to injury by asking a faux rabbi to pray for the victims at the end of the rally.

Pence referred to Loren Jacobs as a “leader of the Jewish community here in Michigan,” that`s akin to referring to Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan as a leader of the Islamic community in Chicago.

Jacobs is an apostate who is masquerading as a “Christian rabbi, he`s anathema to Jews.

Messianic Jews, such as Jacobs, primary focus is the conversion of Jews to Christianity. That is simply repugnant and offensive to Jews, he would be as welcome in a synagogue as a Jihadist imam would be at an evangelical church.

Pence and his white evangelical brethren have tarnished the Christian faith by wholeheartedly embracing a short-fingered vulgarian who makes a mockery of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Not content with destroying the evangelical branch of Christianity, Pence is now sowing discord in the Jewish community.

There is a special place reserved in hell for the likes of Mike Pence and Loren Jacobs.

Kellyanne Conway is Wrong, God Has No Place in the Public Square!

“Kellyanne Conway on Monday condemned the trend of anti-religiosity in America, just days after a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue left 11 people dead and several wounded.

`The anti-religiosity in this country, that it is somehow in vogue and funny to make fun of anybody of faith, to constantly be making fun of people who express religion, the late-night comedians, the unfunny people on TV shows, it`s always anti-religious,` Conway said on `Fox & Friends.`

She later argued that faith can bring Americans together and said this isn`t the time to be `driving God out of the public square.`”

The Hill

Conway would be well-advised to consult a dictionary before spouting off on Fox News. Most folks, people of faith and atheists, are anti-religiosity. The word “religiosity” has a bad connotation, denoting a person who is excessively, obtrusively, or sentimentally religious.

However, it`s true that there is an anti-evangelical trend in America, in reaction to white evangelicals who have made a mockery of Christianity by embracing a degenerate who is a hell of a lot more similar to the anti-Christ than Jesus Christ.

I`m more liberal than conservative but I don`t make fun of people of faith who proclaim and defend the universal concepts of the brotherhood of man, and respect for individuals regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or social class.

I do make fun of white evangelicals who claim to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ while worshipping a buffoon who is the antithesis of Christianity.

Faith in our democracy and in the Constitution can bring Americans of all faiths and no faith together, and the deity of your choice can best be worshipped in your home or in a place of worship, not in the public square.

Save our Democracy! Vote Blue November 6, 2018

What is there left to know about Donald Trump? The blowhard billionaire doesn`t bother to put on a veneer of civility to disguise his racism, misogyny and homophobia. He`s so emboldened by the unwavering support of his base that he doesn`t bother with dog whistles, he uses a megaphone to trumpet his bigotry.

Theologians, professors, pundits and bloggers have thundered against his rhetoric and policies that hurt minorities and the disadvantaged and help the wealthy and the privileged.

In the last three years I have written hundreds of essays that chronicle his depravity, racism and misanthropy.

We don`t have to wait for Special Counsel Robert Mueller`s final report, only someone willfully ignorant or complicit in Trump`s corruption can argue that there is insufficient evidence to make the rational judgement that he should be impeached and removed from office.

If the Democrats regain control of the House Trump may be impeached, but the support of his base and the cowardice of Republican Senators ensures that he won`t be removed from office.

We can`t decapitate Trump`s administration, but we must vote for Democrats in the midterm elections so that we can at least emasculate him. The Senate looks like a lost cause, but if the Democrats win control of the House they can not only impeach him, but subpoena his tax records and launch investigations into his corrupt administration.

History will judge this generation harshly for having elected the bastard, but we can make amends by voting for Democrats in the midterms.

Vote! For God`s sake Vote!

The MAGA Bomber is Representative of Donald Trump’s Cultists

Authorities arrested Cesar Sayoc, 56, now and forever to be known as the MAGA bomber, in connection with a series of explosive devices there were mailed to prominent Democratic leaders over the past week.

I would have a hard time saying MAGA philosopher, MAGA scientist or MAGA professor, but the words “MAGA bomber” roll of the tongue.

Batman has his Batmobile and the MAGA bomber has his MAGA van, the side and back windows of the van are covered in disturbing collages of Republican iconography and anti-Democratic memes.

The TV Batman of the 60`s was a campy figure, but there`s nothing campy or ironic about the MAGA bomber. The MAGA bomber is as subtle and nuanced as a sledgehammer, I imagine that in a conversation he would just repeat the memes and slogans that cover his vehicle.

The MAGA Van is a disturbing piece of art, it has images of Donald Trump, the American flag, and there are also red targets superimposed over progressive icons like Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore and Barack Obama.

The same violent imagery also appeared on the MAGA bomber`s Twitter feed, which has been taken down. But why in the name of God wasn`t it taken down before, violent images and hateful words are just as destructive as bullets and bombs.

Unfortunately, the MAGA bomber isn`t an aberration, he`s representative of Trump`s ignorant and racist cultists. I see the same wild-eyed rage and intolerance for minorities at Trump rallies.

Most Trump followers are able to restrain themselves somewhat, and although they may have only one “CNN Sucks” bumper sticker, they are full of the same pent-up rage as the MAGA bomber.

Trump isn`t destroying our democracy by himself, he has the tacit support of Republican leaders, and the undying devotion of his base.

Vote on November 6, 2018 as if the MAGA bomber is living next door, or as if he is your child`s teacher, because the MAGA Bomber`s mentality has infected a significant section of our society.

We must rid our democracy of Donald Trump and his MAGA followers.
