So please WATCH this, if nothing else on Trump and the election. “I’m sorry to be the buzzkill… but I think Trump is gonna win,” as Moore told Bill Maher last night.

  The question is do Jesus-following white American evangelicals of the left or right, turn into smarmy flakes because they get “saved” or do smarmy flakes gravitate to Jesus? * Watching Mike Pence even if I knew nothing about him as he spoke at the GOP convention I’d know he was a born again evangelical. * How? * Here is what some of my Facebook friends think (and thank you all!)  but first maybe I can spot the white born-again... Read more

During a 2000 congressional race debate, Mike Pence defended an op-ed he wrote arguing that “smoking doesn’t kill.” Pence said there was no direct “scientific causal link medically identifying” a connection between smoking and lung cancer, according to a local newspaper report uncovered by BuzzFeed News. On Monday, BuzzFeed News reported Pence wrote an op-ed in 1997 equating the health risks associated with cigarettes with those associated with candy. Pence was defending the tobacco industry, which had been successfully sued by some... Read more

(photos YouTube) WATCH and learn: This is what prepared, articulate, clever political leadership looks like. This is what women do. Love Theresa May or hate her notwithstanding– she is everything Donald-loser-Trump is not! Oh and BTW, all those inarticulate Trumpian lies aside, we too in the USA have a prepared, sane, educated, clever and strong woman ready to lead. And Hillary (like May) is going to win. P.S. as you watch also fantasize about the orange twit Trump trying to negotiate... Read more

(Photo: The Morning Call) The Republican Party/NRA/Trump attempt at a coup against American values of bravery, hope and fearlessness (see Kennedy, Reagan, Lincoln et al) is now a white supremacist cult of death. Period. As was made abundantly clear on the first day of their bizarre “convention” all they have to offer is fear as their “answer” to how to motivate voters. They offer a lose/lose proposition to America: violence and fear of violence, guns and more guns, war and more... Read more

(AP Photo/Richard Vogel, File) (photo www.rollingstone.com) Evangelical Christianity in America became a get-rich-quick scheme long ago. So it’s no wonder that millions of prosperity gospel-following downtrodden white evangelicals who forgot to start churches of their own (and get rich) see Trump as one of their own.
