    The interviewer, Stuart Varney, just to be clear, should have said to Trump that he was asking what he would do about the Ukraine war to help Zelensky and democracy, not Putin and fascism.

    Otherwise, Trump could end up saying, 'Oh, I thought you were asking what I would do to help Putin.'

    A twisted theology.


    Five takeaways from the Report on Christian Nationalism and January 6 – Baptist News Global

    excerpt:

    "During a Nov. 14, 2020, event called “The Million MAGA March,” people led prayers from the stage flanked by a “Jesus Matters” sign, and a photo shows a large group of members of the Proud Boys kneeling in prayer in the street.

    During a Dec. 12, 2020, rally called “Let the Church ROAR,” led by the Jericho March, people marched around government buildings blowing shofars, often referencing the biblical story of the Battle of Jericho. On the stage there was a portrait of Mary as the Virgin of Guadalupe. Pastors took the stage telling people that God had a “warrior mandate” for them, that it was a battle cry and a call to arms. They quoted Bible verses: “We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.” The senior pastor and bishop of New Life Harvest Church in Richmond, Va., told an altered version of biblical stories and said that modern-day Levites were now consecrating America. He also said, “These are our devils, and we will kill them now.”

    So, Jan. 6 did not come out of nowhere, but it did come with just as many Christian flags, portraits of Jesus, Bible verses (some of them misquoted), armor of God T-shirts, and impromptu singing of Christian worship songs. All this appeared alongside longstanding symbols of racist oppression like nooses, swastikas, Confederate flags and more. One person leading a charge of people breaking into the Capitol did so while thrusting a Bible into the air. Inside the Senate chamber, the man known as the QAnon shaman led a prayer in Jesus’ name, thanking God for his “white light” and for helping them defeat their enemies."

    Think Jesus will come out of retirement and run with Trump in 2024?


    Yeah... I didn't think so.

    Montana airport calls the COPS on Republican Senator Ted Cruz

    Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) got into a confrontation with employees of a Montana airport which grew so heated that law enforcement had to get involved, a new video showed on Sunday.

    Cruz was spotted at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport shortly after noon on Sunday, apparently irritated by missing his flight, according to the Reddit user who first shared the short clip.

    The user who posted the video claimed Cruz said some form of 'Do you know who I am?'

    A representative for the airport confirmed to DailyMail.com that a 'frustrated' Cruz had missed the check-in window for his flight, and that re-booking options were 'limited out of Bozeman due to Spring Break.'

    Cruz managed to rebook and depart later that evening, Bozeman airport deputy director Scott Humphrey said.

    It's not clear what Cruz or the airport employees were saying in the short clip. The Texas Republican had been wearing a mask, in compliance with federal COVID-19 guidelines.

    Trump still thinks he can oust McConnell for not overthrowing the 2020 election for him.


    Why Trump's push to oust McConnell has fallen flat - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "(CNN) Alabama Senate candidate Mo Brooks attempted to jumpstart his fledgling campaign -- and get back in Donald Trump's good graces -- Monday by signing on to one of the former President's pet causes: removing Mitch McConnell as Senate GOP leader.

    "Today, I unveil my pledge to America to fire Mitch McConnell," Brooks said in a web video released Monday. "If elected to the Senate, I will not vote for Mitch McConnell for leader. And I will do everything in my power that Republicans choose a conservative to be leader."

    The move came in the wake of reports, including from CNN's Gabby Orr, that Trump was considering pulling his endorsement from Brooks, who has struggled to gain traction ahead of the crowded May Alabama GOP Senate primary. Brooks called on his opponents to make the same pledge, adding: "That's the battle across America -- McConnell versus Trump in a war for the heart and soul of the Republican Party."

    That's the lens through which Trump and his allies prefer to view this year's Senate GOP primaries. But the same can't be said for most of the candidates running in those primaries.

    In the 13 months since Trump first called for McConnell to be removed as Senate Republican leader, only three of the party's high-profile Senate candidates (and no sitting senators) have joined him."

    Mo Brooks is trying to run interference for Trump now that rumors have surfaced that Trump might pull his endorsement of him. Polls show Brooks is running 3rd place in the primary.

    Brooks sounds desperate trying to revive a battle between Trump and McConnell from over a year ago that never took off in the first place.

    Good. How does it feel to be treated like the average American citizen, Mr. Cruz?

    Trump files appeal against Manhattan judge in latest bid to overturn subpoena

    excerpt:

    "In papers filed in a state appeals court, lawyers for the former president said that Manhattan judge Arthur Engoron failed to properly weigh constitutional and ethical concerns that they’d raised about the investigation brought by the New York attorney general, Letitia James.

    Lawyers for Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., want the appellate division of the state’s trial court to overturn Engoron’s ruling, which came on 17 February, and invalidate James’s subpoenas seeking their testimony.

    They detailed their arguments in a 72-page joint brief Monday, rehashing prior claims that James, a Democrat, had a political vendetta against Trump, a Republican, and that forcing the Trumps to testify would violate their constitutional rights because answers could be used against them in a parallel criminal investigation.

    The Trumps’ lawyers contend that Engoron was wrong to limit the scope of a two-hour hearing prior to his ruling and that he didn’t have all of the information necessary to make a proper ruling."

    Yes, Cruz. You're someone acting like a clown at an airport.

    Teetering with Trump, Brooks calls for McConnell's ouster

    [​IMG]

    Alabama Republican Mo Brooks is calling for Mitch McConnell to be ousted as Senate GOP leader, making him the party’s third major Senate candidate to come out in favor of booting the Kentucky Republican.

    “America can’t afford a Senate leader who is a weak-kneed, debt junkie, open-border RINO Republican and who, worse yet, sells out America for special interest group cash,” Brooks says in a new 90-second web advertisement.
