Okay, that really has me scratching my head (before it explodes)…
Diversity, equality, inclusion. They’re saying that Jesus preached AGAINST these? Can anyone give me the cites from the Gospels?
And BTW, how did Jesus feel about including JEWS?? Hmmm?
It was a right wing idiot talking to Faux news. What he said can be nothing but false.
Man I hope MAGA presses on with this.
So much this. Increasingly their modus operandus, it seems.
When you don’t have something called policy…
I’m not sure when the choice is made but about one in five Academy graduates opt for the Corps rather than the Navy as a career so a USMC Commandant is entirely plausible. 18 months after his predecessor was appointed, not so much.
Obviously you’ve had your head in the sand and haven’t heard of the Conservative Bible Project (which I’ve mentioned before). Founded by ultra-conservative advocate Phyllis Schlafly’s son Andrew, its goal is to purge the Bible of all the liberal nonsense that’s corrupted it over the centuries, such as what is to be rendered to whom.
About its accuracy, from the linked article:
What is most remarkable about this new translation is not that it lacks almost total credibility (which is true), but that political ideology is so strong that it overrides everything else. New Testament professor Douglas Moo, Wheaton Graduate School, and chairman of the Committee on Bible Translation which oversees the NIV and TNIV, did not mince words about the Conservative Bible Project. “Silly is probably as kind as I could be about it,” Moo told the Tennesean.com.
(As for cites from the above, I’m afraid you’re on your own. I’ve been warned about keeping my blood pressure under control.)
If anyone wants to ruin their own day by reading it, add another “s” to Tennessean. And now I need some of Otto’s blood pressure medication.
It reminds me of something I read once about the Old South; that their churches were so focused on defending slavery that Southern people who attended Northern churches would sometimes express surprise that Christianity addressed any other subject than “why slavery is good”.
It seems to me that history is repeating itself, and right wing “American Christianity” is well along in the process of being subsumed by the Republican party and reduced to nothing but a propaganda outlet for them.
The separation of Church and State doesn’t just exist to protect the State from the Church.
Thanks for the research, but I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-cubit barge pole.
Interesting, this tennessean page turns to an eu.tennessean-dot-etcetera page when dialled from Germany and it says
Looks like there’s a problem with this site

Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly.
It’s probably better that way, have read enough crazy today.
I forgot to ask: Doesn’t the constitution have something to say about the government and religion? I do not believe the Second Felonial Era has the authority to determine the “Gospel-ness” (to coin a term) of anyone’s actions.
Fun fact: If you go back and read the New Testament, you will see that it’s DEI to preach the Gospel to and accept as Christians non-Jews in the first place!
The Constitution doesn’t matter anymore. It turns out that, by and large, the people don’t give a shit.
Things still going well in the "nothing to see here: Epstein files kerfuffle.
The amount of unreleased Epstein evidence the government is in possession of is a bit mind boggling.
For example: “The three-page index is a report generated by the FBI that lists the evidence inventoried by federal law enforcement during the multiple investigations into his conduct. According to that index, the remaining materials include 40 computers and electronic devices, 26 storage drives, more than 70 CDs and six recording devices. The devices hold more than 300 gigabytes of data, according to the DOJ. The evidence also includes approximately 60 pieces of physical evidence, including photographs, travel logs, employee lists…”
Under pressure, DOJ is now considering releasing the grand jury transcript, but that contains only a tiny fraction of the evidence in the FBI’s possession and will not answer the question of who else participated in Epstein’s abuse of children/minors.
More: “According to the DOJ, the evidence includes “images and videos” of victims who appear to be minors, “over ten thousand downloaded videos and images of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography,” and a “large volume” of images of Epstein.”
I’m going to have to say a certain type of person (magaflatearthers/pubbies [Is there a differrence now?]) don’t. Those are the people who love to parrot this nonsense: “The constitution is not a suicide pact.”
Accomplice Duffy is upset about how Mexico–you’re going to love this–operates airports in Mexico. (The bolding is mine.)
I guess his parents should have taught him to take care of his papers better. Good Lord! What a load of horseshit this stunt by the felon’s accomplices is!
And what terrible crime did he commit while in the US legally?
So he fled a horrible situation, applied for asylum, was granted it, got approved for immigration (thus the green card), and has committed no crimes at all. But Cruella de Vile and her cohorts in crime decided that losing one piece of paper requires sending him to a country he’s never set foot in let alone committed a crime in.
Cruella de Vile’s hot on top important matters, though! Or not.
&
This will make the screening take longer, you moron!
Florida’s not even pretending anymore they care about state vs federal authority nor the constitution. (The bolding is mine.)
Oh, yeah. And they don’t care about having military officers acting as judges in civilian matters in the United States. Isn’t that one of the hallmarks of a military dictatorship?
FUCK! And now we are back to having military-run internment camps in the United States.
Soft-sided? Oh, yeah. Tents.
And the deportees can choose to take their US citizen children with them, right? Right? (The bolding and italicizing are mine.)
Cruella de Vile is franchising Alligator Auschwitz.
Soon, huh? I’ll mark my calendar for two weeks from now.
Of course the magaflatearthers just changed reality in what passes for their minds to portray the dollar’s decline as Biden’s, Hillary Clinton’s, or better yet Obama’s fault, not their idol’s.
Serious question: Now that we are in what’s effectively a military dictatorship, I’d like to know if there has ever been other military dictatorships in which the dictator has not ever served in the miitary? I mean besides the felon’s loverboy’s North Korea.
never mind
I bet he’s not going to let anybody cow him.
I remember the days of #MooToo and MooGA when we thought things couldn’t get much worse. They could.
Okay, mooving along.
Alligator Alcatraz has been in the news of course. But what about the real Alcatraz?
Haiti is dangerous! Is not! Is too! Is not! Is too! Is not! (This is a monologue.)
Who would ever have expected a conman to {gasp} lie?
I guess he should have sponsored a golf course tee instead.
Co-conspirator Kennedy is going to keep fixing it until it’s broke!
And he’s also going with the “It’s your own damned fault I’m being mean to you” line of thinking.
Ther’e a Twist to the story of Venezuelans being repatriated.
Lock 'em all up, dammit! Let God sort them out!
An astute reader would note that this puts the lie to the Second Felonial Era’s claims that this is not a federal facility. The Florida state mouthpiece specifically stated the child was turned over to the federal authorities. The feds then had Florida lock him up. Also see above my comment about how one may depart Alligator Auschwitz.
*Departure makes you free.
I’m becoming increasingly concerned about Trump’s consolidation of police entities at the state and local levels. He is vastly increasing ICE’s budget and red state governors are beginning to pledge inordinate levels of cooperation from their state police and national guards.
Since I’m one of those paranoid nutjobs who worries about the Orange Menace making a play for continuance in office three years hence, this trend fills me with unease. Who’s gonna stop him if he just says “fuck it?”
The cruelty is the point – she’s the one who shot her dog in the face after all. It will certainly discourage undocumented immigrants. It will also discourage international tourists and our Canadian winter visitors we get so much of here in Arizona. I mean, would an Mediterranean-hued Italian want to visit and risk being shipped off to El Salvador?
Trump demanded that the NFL’s Washington Commanders and MLB’s Cleveland Guardians revert back to the names Redskins and Indians, even threatening to block the football team’s stadium deal if they don’t cave to his demands.
Fuck you, Trump.
