Jeza Belle Popular Drag Queen Writes Christian Devotional

“Jeza’s Jesus Juice: A Drag Queen’s Christian Devotional, which was published in December, provides a personal history of the author’s religious beliefs and morality.

The book includes chapters on gender identity, Pride, and radical inclusivity. Other chapters tackle forgiveness, guilt, and God’s love.”

Time Blitzed

Jezebel was the wife of Ahab, the King of Israel. According to the biblical narrative she and her husband institutionalized the worship of Baal. Jezebel is the most profane and evil woman in the Bible and her name has entered the vernacular as a generic epithet for any corrupt, vulgar and sacrilegious woman.

Jezebel was thrown from a window to her death. Her corpse was trampled by a horse and then eaten by stray dogs, as the prophet Elijah had prophesied.

Jeza Belle is a drag queen and devout Christian (not mutually exclusive terms) who has just published a Christian devotional, “the first and only mainstream published Christian book written by a drag queen.”

Evangelical Christians, who worship an orange idol more loathsome than Baal, demonize Jeza Belle and all other drag queens. If they had their druthers, they would stone our beloved drag queen and feed her to the wolves.

Jeza Belle is the antithesis of the biblical Jezebel, she is spreading the good news of god’s love for all of His children, be they white or black or gay or straight.

I wouldn’t be caught dead at a Trump-worshipping evangelical church, but I would gladly attend a drag performance or a devotional message by Jeza Belle.  

Trump: ‘If You’re Sick as a Dog, Even if You Vote and Die, It’s Worth It’

Donald Trump demands unquestioned loyalty and total devotion from his supporters. He doesn’t care that the temperature on caucus night may drop to -45 degrees, he expects his devotees to cast their ballot with their frostbitten fingers.

“You can’t sit home. If you’re sick as a dog… even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it,” Trump told supporters while at a rally in Iowa on Sunday, January 14.

Trump may have been half-joking but his followers will don their long johns, winter coats and risk hypothermia to caucus for their Orange Messiah.

If MAGA idiots froze to death on their way to caucus, they would die with a smile on their faces counting it a privilege and a blessing to die as a martyr for their Savior.

On caucus night Trump will get a kick out of watching his groupies brave the elements to vote for him, while he sips hot chocolate and watches election coverage in Mar-a-Lago.

The supporters of the other Republican presidential candidates aren’t as dedicated, and many of them will choose to stay in their warm homes. After all, they consider Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley mere politicians and not God’s anointed leader who will lead them to the Promised Land of a Christian theocracy.

Trump is destined to win the Iowa caucuses and the Republican presidential nomination thanks to his legions of sycophants, cultists and fluffers.

Our democracy’s only hope is that in the general election, Trump voters will be no match for the majority of Americans who haven’t swallowed the Kool-Aid.

White Evangelicals Yearn to Turn America into an Iowa Like Dystopia

Monday’s Iowa Republican caucuses formally launch the 2024 primary race that will culminate with the coronation of twice-impeached, twice-divorced and four times indicted Donald Trump.

Iowa is the perfect state to kick off the 2024 GOP presidential race, it’s 90 percent white and white evangelicals dominate the state Republican party.

Republicans long for the 1920’s when American was more religiously and ethnically homogeneous, and it was clearly understood that the nation should be led by a white Christian male.

White evangelicals are on a mission from God to make America resemble Iowa by voting for a sociopath authoritarian who’s promised to deport immigrants, and to revive his Muslim ban that will prohibit travel and refugee resettlement from predominately Muslim countries.

White evangelicals are convinced that Trump will turn our democracy into a white nationalist Christian theocracy.

If you despise democracy, hate people of color, hate diversity, and are afraid of women and the LGBT community, then by all means join Iowan Republicans in voting for the execrable Trump.

Trump’s Toxic Personality Prompts Biden to Utter, ‘What a sick …’

President Joe Biden eviscerated Donald trump during a speech kicking off his 2024 presidential campaign. Biden’s absolute disdain and abhorrence of Trump kept his mind focused and his delivery lively, for once I didn’t notice any signs of mental decline.

At one point in his impassioned political attack on his likely general election opponent, Biden exclaimed, “What a sick … My God.” It wasn’t a declining mental acuity that prevented Biden from completing his thought, his fists were clenched in an effort to stop from uttering an expletive. We all know that Biden wanted to say “What a sick fuck.”

Trump usually sprinkles his campaign stump speeches with expletives, to the delight of the MAGA crowd. But Biden has too much respect for the office of the presidency to make it a practice to utter profanities in public.  

The volume of stupidity, racism, misogyny, and homophobia that emanates from Trump’s sphincter-shaped mouth during a typical speech is enough to make the average person exclaim, “What a sick fuck” a dozen times.

Biden was every one of use when he uttered, What a sick …” It’s incumbent upon each one of us to do everything within our power to make sure that this sick fuck doesn’t ever again return to power.

Donald Trump’s Bizarre Remarks about Magnets

Donald Trump doesn’t spend all his time at his MAGA rallies dishing out the red meat of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia to his legions of white evangelicals, QAnon nutjobs, and inbred rednecks.

Sometime he waxes philosophical about esoteric subjects like windmills causing cancer, injecting bleach to fight Covid, and not to mention his toilet flushing fixation.

During one of his recent campaign rallies in Iowa where agriculture is king, Trump make frequent reference to John Deere. “Do you like John Dedre? I like John Deere”, the orange buffoon queried his audience.

I can understand why Trump referenced John Deere in Iowa, but why the hell did he go off on a tangent about magnets? While discussing magnetic elevators he said:

“Think about it, magnets. Now all I know about magnets is this: Give me a glass of water, let me sprinkle it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets.”

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that a magnet maintains its magnetic strength when it is immersed in water.

Trump doesn’t know shit about politics, windmills or magnets; he is the King of the MAGA morons.

Trump should know a little bit about magnetism, certainly he should be aware that he attracts the dregs of society.

Most Republicans View Trump as a ‘Person of Faith’

“A new survey suggests that an increasing number of Republicans view Donald Trump as a person of faith, with Trump earning higher ratings than even some of the more vocally religious members of the Grand Old Party, including former Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Mitt Romney.”

The New Republic

A person of faith has a firm belief in something for which there is no scientific or empirical evidence; the believers of the three greatest monotheistic religions base their beliefs on sacred texts that have been revised countless times and that were written thousands of years ago.

Religion motivates some people to live moral lives, and they are for all practical purposes useful and trustworthy members of society. But almost all wars and genocides have been committed in the name of God, it’s “persons of faith” who fly planes into skyscrapers, enslave indigenous populations, demonize the LGBT community and persecute racial minorities, treat women like second-class citizens and commit all sorts of despicable crimes.

An intelligent person doesn’t base his decision to vote for a politician on whether or not they are a person of faith. History has taught us that politicians who wrap themselves in the clothes of religiosity are the biggest scoundrels, thus the proverb: religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool.

If you asked me which politician could best be characterized as a person of faith these name would come to mind:

Mike Pence wears religion on his sleeve, he’s always invoking the name of God and he attends church on a regular basis. Joe Biden is a devout Catholic who attends Mass every Sunday and always carries rosary beads in his pocket. Mitt Romney is a strict Mormon who doesn’t drink, smoke or use profane language, and his faith informs his politics and personal behavior.

Donald Trump the twice-divorced, twice-impeached, four-times indicted, pathological liar, and serial sexual predator is the last person on Earth I would characterize as a person of faith.

But Republicans, especially white evangelicals, are enamored with the sociopath and they worship the orange abomination as their messiah. An astounding 64 percent of Republicans view Trump as a person of faith, according to a HarrisX poll in November, up from 53 percent in a similar poll conducted in October.

To be clear white evangelicals don’t consider a person of faith to be a someone who embodies the peaceful, gentle, loving and compassionate spirit of Jesus Christ, but someone who embodies the evil, vindictive and ruthless nature of the antichrist.

Evangelicals are besotted with Trump precisely because he’s a ruthless, vindictive asshole who will put migrants, blacks, Latinos and gays and lesbians in their place. They expect him to reward them for their loyalty be turning our democracy into a White Nationalist Christian theocracy.

It’s incumbent upon Americans who want to save our democracy from Donald Trump and his legions of “people of faith” by voting for Joe Biden.

GOP Rep. Tim Walberg Praises Uganda’s ‘Kill the Gays’ Bill

This year Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni signed into law the most draconian anti-LGBT legislation in the world. The Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023 criminalizes homosexuality and individuals found guilty of “aggravated homosexuality” are subject to the death penalty.

You’d think the religious and political leaders of the world, especially those in democracies, would speak out against such an abominable legislation, and indeed many have come to the defense of the LBGT community in Uganda.

In October, Republican Congressman Tim Walberg, a devout evangelical, traveled to Uganda not to beseech Museveni to repeal the law, but to deliver a speech where he praised the law commonly known as “Kill the Gays” law.

Instead of exporting democracy to the far corners of the world Walberg is spreading his noxious Gospel of homophobia. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that American evangelicals who practically have an orgasm when they read in the Old Testament that gays should be put to death, want to spread their hateful dogma to other countries.

I’m sure that Walberg gets his panties in a twist when he witnesses gays committing “aggravated homosexuality” by having the temerity to express love in public by holding hands, hugging or kissing.

It’s incumbent upon those of us who believe in human rights and gender and sexual equality to denounce homophobia in the homeland and anywhere else in the world.

Perfect Christmas Gifts for Republican Freaks

It’s the happiest season of the year, when we take time to consider what gifts to buy for our family, friends and loved ones. But I’m only going to waste a few moments thinking about what goodies the most despicable politicians deserve.

What gift does a sociopath like Trump who makes the Grinch and Scrooge look like cherubic angels deserve? A lump of coal? Nah, too much of a cliché. The perfect gift for him would be a butt plug. What better present for an incontinent old fart who always has droopy drawers? It could also be used to plug up his sphincter-shaped mouth; I’m sick and tired of the excrement that emanates for his pie hole.

What would be the perfect trinket for a snake oil salesman like Vivek Ramaswamy? How about Dollar General ED pills that he can use in his side hustle as Trump’s fluffer?

What doodad could I give Lindsey Graham, otherwise known as Lady G? How about a life-size anatomically correct Ken doll to keep him company at night?

What novelty item would be fitting for a pedo enabler like Jim Jordan? I know, action figures of a wrestler being anally probed by a leering physician.

Mike Johnson looks like he would appreciate old school porn, therefore I would give him old copies of Penthouse and Hustler magazines

I would give Mike Lindell one of his pillows, perfect for smothering miscreants.

What bauble could I give Marjorie Taylor Greene? A strap-on dildo, after all doesn’t she look like she straps one on every night?

And as for Mike Pence, balls would be the perfect gift, considering Trump emasculated him.  

I realize I gave all these Republican politicians sex-related gifts, but that’s appropriate for sexually repressed hypocritical freaks

‘Trump Smells’ Trending on Twitter

“Former GOP congressman Adam Kinzinger sparks controversy by suggesting people ‘wear a mask’ around Trump due to alleged odor, igniting a social media storm.”

Hindustan Times

It’s axiomatic that everything Donald Trump touches turns to shit, therefore it should come as no surprise that decent people would complain that such a prodigious consumer and producer of excrement smells exceptionally bad.

When I logged onto Twitter, Elon Musk’s cesspool of filth, I noticed that “Trump smells” was trending, I thought to myself, “No Shit!”

When I walk into a dog pound I’m prepared to be suffocated with the stench of feces, and when I hear Trump on TV or read an article about him online, I brace myself to be assaulted with his sulfurous presence.

It’s a given that Trump reeks, the only question is what is causing him to stink to high heaven on any given day.

When golden showers are in Trump’s forecast you can expect him to smell like a urine drenched drunkard on Skid Row.

When one of his fluffers forgets to change his Depends, you can expect him to have the malodorous odor of an infant with droopy drawers.

When Trump is holding a MAGA rally you can expect the air to be heavy with the loathsome spirit of racism, bigotry and xenophobia.

Adam Kinsinger is spot-on, Trump smells! Give the dirty pig a wide berth, so his filth won’t permeate your spirit.

Iowa Evangelical Leaders are Enthralled by Trump

“’President Trump is the clear choice for people of faith in America. Unlike other politicians, when President Trump promises he will do something, he keeps his promises,’ said Pastor Jamison Plank from Henry County, Iowa. ‘President Trump has an unmatched record of defending family values, promoting religious freedom, and championing moral clarity and biblical authority.’”

FloridianPress.Com

President Trump, the twice-divorced, twice impeached and four times indicted New York shady businessman, has the endorsement of over 300 evangelical leaders in the nation’s first primary contest, the Iowa Caucus.

Let’s parse the endorsement of evangelical Pastor Plank:

“Trump is the clear choice for people of faith in America.” This bold proclamation is evidence that people of faith, and more specifically evangelicals like Plank, are spiritually blind, and susceptible to being manipulated by charlatans like Trump who cynically sprinkles his stump speeches with Jesus words.

“He keeps his promises.” Oh, really? The pathological liar didn’t keep his biggest and boldest promise: To build a great wall on the southern border, and make Mexico pay for it. Trump promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, how did that turn out? Obamacare is more popular and covers more patients that ever.

“Trump has an unmatched record of defending family values.” Bitch, please! The Orange Messiah has an unmatched record for cheating on his wives with strippers and porn stars. He also has an unmatched record of being a serial sex predator.

“Champions moral clarity and biblical authority.” Trump doesn’t have a moral compass and “Mr. Two Corinthians” is no Bible scholar.

Fuck Trump and fuck evangelicals like Plank who support him.

I Love the Lynchburg VA Christmas Bus

I’ve lived in Lynchburg for 23 years and I’ve never stepped inside a Greater Lynchburg Transit Company (GLT) bus, for me it would be akin to entering a soup kitchen. My mindset is that riding the bus is for the poor or those who can’t drive for whatever reason.

I’ve always owned a car, sometimes two at the same time, and if my auto is in the shop, I would call a cab or an Uber.

I don’t pay any attention when I’m on the road and I pass a GLT bus, it just blends into the background.

But the other day I saw a bus decked out in Christmas lights, and I was taken aback, that’s an incongruous as garbage truck festooned with Christmas decorations.

During the holiday season I feel like a Scrooge or a Grinch but the sight of the bus decorated with Christmas lights instantly lifted my holiday spirit, and I even started humming a Christmas carol.

What a wonderful idea I mused to myself; during this time of the year people who rely on the bus for transportation often have to wait in the rain or snow at the bus stop. I’m sure it lifts their spirits as well when a Christmas bus pulls up to their stop.

I discovered that GLT decorates a bus for the Lynchburg Christmas parade every year, but this year they decided to keep in going even after the parade.

Nikki Haley: ‘Biden is Too Old’

“Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has launched a new campaign ad calling President Biden ‘too old,’ in one of the most direct attacks on the president’s age this election cycle.

‘I’ll just say it: Biden’s too old,’ Haley, 51, says in the ad. ‘And Congress is the most exclusive nursing home in America.’”

The Washington Post

Amen, Nicki Haley, Amen!

Haley’s comment isn’t ageist, it’s an affirmation of the biological truth that septuagenarians like Donald Trump and octogenarians like Joe Biden are simply too old to be president of the United Sates, the most stressful occupation in the world.

With every stumble, malapropism, loss of train of thought and deer in the headlight stare, Joe Biden proves that time has taken a heavy toll on his physical health and mental acuity.

Haley has made subtle references and allusions to Donald Trump’s age, but she should also clearly proclaim that Trump, 77, is too old. Trump is an energetic and feisty old codger, but his cognitive ability is declining at a rapid pace.

Both candidates have recently disclosed positive health reports from their physicians, but those reports should be taken with a grain of salt. A twenty-year-old Ford Focus’ Fitness Certificate is more trustworthy than a quack’s medical report ascertaining the excellent mental and physical health of the commander-in-chief.

Joe Biden is too damn old! Donald Trump is too damn old. I will vote for Biden, he may be a senile old fart, but that’s better than being a senile old racist, homophobic, misogynist fat piece of shit.

Outrage: Evangelical Beheads Statue of Baphomet at the Iowa State Capitol

I’m a stanch believer in the separation of church and state. “In god we trust” should be removed from our currency, the ten commandments should be excised from every government building, chaplains shouldn’t be reciting prayers in Congress, and nativity scenes should be banned from the Iowa State Capitol and every other government building.

The Satanic Temple erected the Baphomet statue in the State Capital as a countermeasure and antidote to the nativity scene also exhibited in the building.

The Satanic Temple uses Satanic imagery to promote human rights, social justice, secularism, and the separation of church and state. They are a non-theistic religion that uses Satan as a symbol and a metaphor. They don’t believe Satan is a real person, and they don’t resort to violence if someone denigrates their faith or desecrates their religious symbols.

Evangelicals believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and their religious beliefs are the antithesis of the peace-loving creed of the Satanic Temple. They use the Bible to justify racism, homophobia, xenophobia and misogyny. They become apoplectic whenever anyone mocks and ridicules their religion, and evangelicals and Christians of all stripes have started countless wars in the name of Jesus.

A former military officer and evangelical zealot who desecrated the display of the Satanic temple and beheaded the statue of Baphomet is being hailed as a hero by evangelicals. Never mind that the Satanic Temple was given approval by state authorities to participate alongside other holiday displays, evangelicals are applauding his criminal behavior.

WWJD? If Jesus came back and visited the Iowa State Capitol, would he destroy the statue of Baphomet, or just shake his head and lament the fact that the Satanic Temple embodies and practices his peaceful religion better than evangelicals?

An Evangelical’s Nativity Scene Featuring Baby Trump

“And behold, the Evangelicals of America made a golden Trump, and they did bow down and worship him.”

Stephen King

Bestselling novelist Stephen King is the undisputed master of the horror genre, naturally he recognizes a terrifying freak when he sees one in real life. King regularly mocks and criticizes Trump on Twitter and in his latest tweet he reminds us that evangelicals worship Trump as their messiah.

King’s tweet makes me ponder what a white evangelical’s nativity scene would look like:

The focal point would be the baby Trump wearing diapers made out of dollar bills, his countenance bright red because he was born constipated and full of shit.

Instead of three wise men bearing gifts there are three strippers raining golden showers on the demonic baby.

In lieu of sheep and lambs there are filthy pigs wallowing in the mud next to the infant Trump.

In the place of a heavenly angel announcing the birth of the Savior there’s a demon proclaiming the birth of the antichrist.

If you think I forgot about the mother of the orange messiah, she’s one of the pigs wallowing in the mud.

The father isn’t in this nativity scene from hell, because he got his ass out of Dodge, he wanted no part of this abomination.

May the good Lord forgive me for penning this horrifying essay, but blame it on King for inspiring me.

Mitt Romney Said Donald Trump was a GumBall Machine, no He’s a Condom Vending Machine

“Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) joked during an appearance on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ Sunday that former President Trump was a ‘human gumball machine’ due to his tendency to give unfiltered remarks.

‘A thought or a notion comes in, and it comes out of his mouth. There’s not a lot of filter that goes on. There’s not a lot of, ‘What’s the implication?’ No, no. He just says whatever.’”

Axios

Gumball machines make me nostalgic for simpler more innocent times when a penny wasn’t just dead weight in your pocket, and a child could insert a penny into the base of a gumball machine, turn the handle and a shiny gumball would be deposited into a chute at the bottom of the wonderful machine.

There is nothing about Donald Trump that reminds me of innocence, truth be told he’s a steaming pile of human excrement.

Mitt Romney doesn’t have much of an imagination, a more accurate metaphor to describe the vulgar sociopath is a condom dispenser at a Greyhound station restroom.

You meet a sketchy travel blogger while riding the bus, and she’s kind of unkempt but kind of hot, so you make plans to hook up when you reach your common destination. So, you enter the restroom with trepidation, knowing what you will encounter: urine on the floor, feces encrusted in the toilet bowl, and graffiti on the walls. You approach the condom vending machine, afraid to touch it lest you catch a disease. But you’re horny and buy a condom, grateful it didn’t dispense an extra small Trump condom.

I wouldn’t touch Trump with a ten-foot pole. Screw Romney! Trump isn’t a gumball machine, he’s a damn condom vending machine.

Mike Johnson Compares Himself to Moses

Christian Nationalist House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke at the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL) gala on Tuesday night. When the fundamentalist took the stage, he thanked the NACL “for not allowing the media in.” I’m not surprised the media was banned, Johnson doesn’t want the press and the electorate to know the extent of his religious fanaticism. But the good Lord allowed his remarks to be made public:

“The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur. And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare, but to wait… I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and in the county at large.

Look, I’m a Southern Baptist. I don’t wanna get too spooky on you. But you know, the Lord speaks to your heart. He had been speaking to me about this, and the Lord told me very clearly to prepare and be ready. Be ready for what? I don’t know. We’re coming to a Red Sea moment. What does that mean, Lord?

When the speaker’s race happened and Kevin McCarthy, who’s a dear friend of mine, was deposed and vacated from the chair. Oh, wow! Well, this is what the Lord may have been preparing us for.”

Almose every religion believes you can communicate with God via chanting, praying or meditation. Most people of faith pray, and even though they have no scientific proof that God answers or even hears their prayers, they believe it’s a spiritual, cathartic and therapeutic practice.

Then there are the religious fanatics who are convinced that the Almighty not only hears their prayers, but that he answers them, sometimes audibly. If you talk to the Supreme Being you are a normal human being, but if you believe that he audibly talks back to you, you should exchange your pastor for a psychiatrist.

Johnson is convinced that the Lord spoke to him very clearly telling him that He choose him to be the next Moses to be the Speaker of the House. Jesus Christ! The apparent Republican presidential nominee thinks he is Jesus and the Speaker of the House thinks he is a Moses figure. We are fucked.

Trump is in Full Batshit Crazy Mode

Donald Trump has always been a hyperbolic buffoon with a penchant for uttering superlatives and babbling toxic word salads, but now as he seeks to return to the White House, he’s in full batshit crazy mode.

But most Americans don’t realize how far the deep end the Orange Wack Job gone because he posts his inflammatory and incendiary remarks on Truth Social, his niche social media platform, whose core audience is QAnon cultists, white evangelicals, Nazis and assorted rightwing riff-raff.

During his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns Trump used Twitter to spread his racist, fascist and divisive rhetoric, and then his tweets were amplified by the cable news networks. Trump’s posts on Truth Social reverberate in the MAGA echo chamber, but they don’t always impact society at large.

If average Americans read Trump’s Truth Social posts as faithfully as his supporters he would lose in a landslide. Trump explicitly and enthusiastically advocates violence as a method to silence his critics. He’s promised to execute generals who don’t do his bidding and opined that shoplifters should be shot. He has promised to use the power of the presidency to jail his political opponents including Joe and Hunter Biden.

If Trump returns to power there will be no guardrails, and there will be no one to restrain his authoritarian and fascist impulses. If Trump wins the presidency and the Republicans keep the House and gain control of the Senate, our democracy will devolve into a White Christian Nationalist theocracy.

Trump is a ruthless cognitively-challenged sociopath, and we must do everything within our power to stop him. The stakes couldn’t be higher, democracy itself is on the line.

Trump Uses Words That Resonate with Evil Evangelicals

“We will demolish the Deep State, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the Communists, Marxists, and Fascists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our Country, we will rout the Fake News Media, we will evict Joe Biden from the White House, and we will FINISH THE JOB ONCE AND FOR ALL! The 2024 election is our final battle.”

Donald Trump Truth Social post

Donald Trump’s “Truth Social” (TS) social media platform has around half a million active daily users, compared to X, formerly known as Twitter’s active daily userbase of 217 million. TS has negligible impact on the Internet and the culture at large.

But Trump’s incoherent, provocative and incendiary posts on TS are read religiously by his sycophantic followers. Trump’s musings and blathering on TS are regarded as Gospel by his supporters, and they consider them their marching orders.

In this recent post by the Orange Messiah, we see how he uses words and phrases that resonate with white evangelicals. He uses the word “warmonger” that’s familiar with readers of the Bible. They interpret Trump’s promise to “expel warmongers from our government” to mean that his administration will stop funding Ukraine’s campaign to drive out the Russian invaders. They know that Trump’s Israel-friendly regime will have no problems supporting Israel as it bombs Gaza back to the stone age.

Trump’s exclamation that he will “drive out the globalists” is decoded to mean that he will destroy the worldwide Jewish cabal that they believe controls international banking as well as the governments of most Western countries. Evangelicals claim to love Israel, but at the same time they believe in antisemitic conspiracy theories.

They decipher his vow to cast out “communists, Marxists and fascists” as an expression of his enmity against Democrats, incredibly most evangelicals believe that Democrats are communists and socialists.

“Cast out” is a phrase commonly used by evangelicals, they’re always blathering about casting out demons.

Evangelicals will construe his description of the 2024 presidential election as “the final battle” as an apocalyptic battle between good and evil.

Trump is a fascist sociopath who won’t lead us to the Promised Land, but if he wins, he will lead us to a dystopian future.

Trump Called Evangelicals ‘Pieces of Shit’

White evangelical Christians, who claim to abide by the Biblical virtues of purity, honesty, integrity and empathy, worship their Orange Jesus, Donald Trump, the twice-divorced, twice-impeached, and four times indicted serial sex predator and pathological liar.

This is not a case of cognitive dissonance so much as it is an example of pragmatic hypocrisy. They are enthralled with Trump not because he bears any resemblance to Jesus Christ; they worship the orange devil because he will break all laws and commit any sin to enact their agenda: criminalize immigrants, demonize the LGBT community, abolish abortion, and turn our democracy into a White Christian Nationalist theocracy.

White evangelicals are besotted with Trump, and they fiercely defend him against anyone with the temerity to criticize him, but Trump tolerates evangelicals for one reason only: they vote for him in overwhelming numbers.

“Tim Alberta of The Atlantic reported in his upcoming book The Kingdom, The Power, And the Glory: American Evangelicals in An Age of Extremism that the then-candidate labeled evangelicals who supported rival Republican hopeful Texas Senator Ted Cruz ‘some real pieces of shit’ and ‘so-called Christians.’”

Trump is spot-on in his assessment of white evangelicals, they are total pieces of shit, regardless if they vote for him or not. Trump doesn’t attend an evangelical church, never reads the Bible, and he doesn’t have any close evangelical friends. He thinks they are idiots for believing in God, and the only thing he likes about them is that he can count on their support.

Everything Trump touches turns to shit, Trump-supporting white evangelicals were already shit, and the whole lot should be flushed down the toilet.

Outrage: Lynchburg VA School Board Rejects Grant from Pro LGBT Organization

The “It Gets Better Project” was founded in 2021 by gay activist Dan Savage and his husband, in response to the suicides of teenagers bullied because they were gay or suspected of being gay by their classmates. This project does the work of God by instilling in LGBTQ children the good news that they are also children of God, and that things will get better.

The foundation awarded a $10,00 grant for students at a Lynchburg, Va high school’s Gender and Sexuality club to create a “quiet room” for students with sensory sensitivities.  All students struggling with mental health, not just gays and lesbians, would have access to the room that is a peaceful oasis in the cacophony of a high school.

If you’re not familiar with Lynchburg, you might think that the School Board would accept with gratitude this gift, calculated to benefit the mental health of schoolchildren.

But Lynchburg City Schools voted 7-2 in favor of not accepting the grant, because the Hill City is an evangelical wasteland where the evangelical Liberty University wields an undue influence.

I urge my fellow residents of Lynchburg to join my holy crusade to reverse the decision of the school board. Write a letter to the editor, attend a Lynchburg council city meeting or a school board meeting, do everything in your power to prove that things can get better, even in Lynchburg.

Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year: Authentic

“As the all-important question of truth and facts continues to dominate current affairs, it may come as no surprise to learn that Merriam-Webster’s word of the year is “authentic.”

The online dictionary says there has been a high volume of searches for the word’s definition for several years, but 2023 saw a ‘substantial increase,’ thanks to ‘stories and conversations about AI, celebrity culture, identity, and social media.’”

CNN

In an age of artifice and alternative facts it’s no wonder that that there’s a high volume of searches for the word “authentic.”

In a TV landscape where reality shows are scripted and rehearsed and the very antithesis of reality, viewers are longing and thirsting for authenticity.

In a political realm where pathological liars like Donald Trump and cognitively impaired fabricators like Joe Biden rise to the top, voters are desperate for politicians who are grounded in reality.

In a media domain where, real news is disparaged as fake news, and conservative TV news networks are saturated with fake news, consumers of news and information are cravings for facts, just the facts.

In a technological age where AI is everywhere, it’s almost impossible to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Is a video of a politician captured in a compromising position real or a deepfake? Is an essay written by a student a product of his own intelligence and imagination or a product of AI? Is your favorite pop star’s album authentic or has it been enhanced by AI?

The realist in me realizes that authenticity will soon become a thing of the past, and the future will be as fake as John Travolta’s toupee.

My Annual Thanksgiving List of Things I’m Grateful For

The older you get the more your circle of friends and family shrinks, until you have more memories than loved ones. This Thanksgiving Day I don’t have a long list of people that I’m grateful for, but I am thankful for these three special souls every day of the year.

I am thankful for my pooch Princess, and yes, she’s a person. There isn’t a human alive who will love you unconditionally, even the love of your life will sometimes resent you because of your annoying tics, bad habits and serious shortcomings.

But a dog will love you forever, and Princess will always consider me a prince worthy of love, devotion and loyalty even though I resemble a rouge more than royalty. Princess is always happy to see me, and she always greets me with a wagging tail and smiling eyes. Even now as I’m writing this essay, she’s looking at me with curiosity, everything that I do fascinates her.

I love all of my siblings, but I am especially grateful for my sister Jackie. Whenever we chat or text, whether the conversation is trivial or serious, I always feel better afterwards. I don’t have to walk on eggshells or pretend to be someone that I’m not, we’re on the same wavelength. I’m sad that I won’t spend this Thanksgiving with her, but I’m happy she’s coming to visit me in December.

The third person I’m grateful for is the Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey. For me there aren’t 12 days of Christmas, but 55, I start playing the Queen’s Christmas songs on November 1.  The Christmas Diva’s vocal register can only be matched by the angelic choir. As far as I’m concerned, every Nativity scene should include Mariah Carey welcoming the Baby Jesus to this sinful world with her heavenly voice. It may be Thanksgiving, but it’s not too early to meditate on Christmas. All I want for Christmas is Mariah Carey on my stereo.

Joe Biden’s Scary Birthday Cake

Photos of old folks celebrating their birthday in a nursing home are heartwarming, who isn’t going to smile when they see an old man blowing a candle that represents 80 or more years?

Joe Biden’s birthday started off on an uncertain note when the old geezer pardoned two turkeys and confused Taylor Swift for Britney Spears in the process. At least he didn’t confuse the turkeys for members of his cabinet.

Setting up a photo op featuring an octogenarian president blowing the candles on his birthday cake should be one of the safest and easiest things for the White House to organize.

Biden’s cake with 81 candles blazing away resembled Snoop Dogg warming himself in front of a fire pit.

Biden’s birthday photo is the scariest photo ever taken in the White House, it’s a miracle the monstrous confectionary didn’t set the People’s House on fire.

Somebody should have snuffed out the candles with a fire extinguisher, but how can we safely and humanely extinguish Joe Biden?

Evangelicals Only Love Jews Who Convert to Christianity

Normal folks have an aversion to bloodshed, the killing and wounding of people, on a large scale during a war or a natural disaster.

But evangelicals, who make a fetish of the blood of Jesus, have a spiritual orgasm whenever blood is shed in the middle east or in a natural disaster, because they view earthquakes and hurricanes and any conflict involving Israel as a sign of the End Times.

Evangelicals like to blather about how much they love Israel, and they admonish us to heed the Biblical injunction to support God’s chosen people.

Evangelicals know very little about the modern state of Israel; it’s not the God-fearing state of the Old Testament but a secular apartheid regime where right-wing Orthodox Jews have an outsized influence in the government. Remind anyone of evangelicals’ disproportionate influence in American politics?

Evangelicals may claim to love Jews but many of them believe that Rothschild bankers control the U.S economy, that Jewish entertainment moguls control the media and the press, and that the Jewish lobby controls Congress.

Evangelicals believe in an eschatological theology that views Jews not as human beings but as chess pieces for a massive, apocalyptic battle, in which the conversion of Jews to Christianity will usher Jesus’ triumphant return to Earth.

Evangelicals don’t value Jews unless they convert to Christianity. American Jews and Jews in Israel shouldn’t be fooled by evangelicals proclamation of adoration for Israel. Evangelicals’ agenda is antithetical to the best interests of the Jewish people.

Snoop Dogg Says He’s Giving Up Weed, Say It Ain’t So!

The only thing constant is change itself. We must always be ready to adapt to changing circumstances. However, in this chaotic world we can count on a few things never changing: the sun will always rise in the east and set in the west, what goes up will always come down, the Earth will always revolve in orbit around the sun, and Snoop Dogg will always smoke weed, in fact he even wrote a song about it: Smoke Weed Every Day

If the sky turns purple, the trees shed all their leaves in the summer, and I hear the hoof beats of the approaching Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, my mind is at ease as long as I know that somewhere Snoop Dogg is smoking a fat ass blunt.

If Snoop is smoking a joint while he’s driving his lowrider, we know that God is on his throne and everything is right with the world.

Snoop shocked his legions of fans all over the world when he announced on X, formerly known as Twitter:

“After much consideration &conversations with my family. I’ve decided to give up smoking. Please respect my privacy at this time.”

Say it ain’t so Snoop, for the love of God say it ain’t so! Let’s hope that Snoop inadvertently smoked a joint laced with LSD, and he’s temporarily out of his mind. He’s got to be out of his freaking mind if he’s giving up cannabis, after all he even owns his own brand of weed, “Death Row Cannabis.”

I will pray before my poster of Snoop smoking a refer and smiling radiantly, that he’s just kidding, laughing his fool head off right now and smoking a doobie.
