including, of course Trump, about what the actual teachings of Jesus Christ command.

She addressed the Republican pharisees who filled the pews:

“Our scriptures are quite clear about this, that God is never impressed with prayers when actions are not informed by them. Nor does God spare us from the consequences of our Deeds which always, in the end matter  more than the words we pray.”

Trump gave her a blank, indifferent look. Then he dozed. Then, after he left, he bitched.

And this is the politician so many of the evangelicals treat as almost a messiah. 

The same president who sabotaged our recovery from COVID and caused the death of hundreds of thousands of Americans has now returned to finish off what he started-withdrawing from the World Health Organization demonstrates anew his hated for this country. 

and repudiated law and other, with his pardon of the shock troops he sicced on America four years ago. Will the Democrats please do more than mewl out some genteel protests over this abomination?

Just couldn’ t repress his Heil Hitler salute.  Not once, but twice, and each time his raging malovolence was shocking. His is a sick, distorted psychology. 

nd the Anti-Defamation League is just fine with that, immediately rushing to Musk’s defense. How ironic it would be–wouldn’t it–if the ADL becomes enablers in a new wave of Neo-Nazism.

Wouldn’t it have been nice if Kamala had mentioned “global warming or “climate change” rather than putting her campaign in the hands of has-been neoliberal operatives from the Clinton and Obama administrations?

We thought Biden must have learned from Obama’s monumental failure to hold anyone accountable. We were wrong. He became another passive, mute Democrat enabling an ever-more radical and subversive Republican party.

In the Guardian Mehdi Hassan implicates Biden in Trump’s return.

“Today, I consider Joe Biden to be not the most impressive but perhaps the second-worst president of my lifetime because he helped deliver a second term to the worst president of my lifetime.”

And, of course, Biden’s failure to take appropriate action means that every achievement of his presidency will be overturned by Trump and his fascist cabal.

“Authoritarian regimes gain strength by undermining local institutions and ignoring community voices,”Timoth Snyder writes on his substack today. As in Trump’s Washington, so in New York City, where City Hall lies to us over and over again, institutes policies to shut out the voices of its citizens. Mayor Adams “City of Yes” is all about giving his real estate developer contributors carte blanche and stifling residents ability to resist.

by the avaricious developers and a bought-and-paid for City Hall. The West Village is the first-designated–and one of the largest– historic districts in New York City.  To the developer/municipal governance combine, it represents a firewall that must be breached, and they are doing everything they can to diminish it.

Exactly how many international fascist leaders are attending?  And how many of our own home grown fascist oligarchs?

The Democrats should be expressing outrage.

It took her a (too) long time to reach that conclusion, but hooray for her that she did.

Now, if only the rest of the Democratic party would follow suit.
