Republicans versus Christians [View all]

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/59/text
&quot 1) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism; and
(2) the House of Representatives condemns the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde’s distorted message."

Free speech, religious speech, Christian belief are being attacked, and an attempt to silence and suppress them is underway. Some twenty trump worshiping congressmen are co-sponsors of this resolution. Deplorables voted in by deplorables.

At a time when so many men are cowards, or worse, it is good that some women are willing to be brave. Bishop Mariann Budde acted in the spirit of Jesus. She spoke for those in danger to the individual most responsible in creating the danger.

Shakespeare knew human character. Here Richard is sly enough to be tricky with syllogism. Anne here comes to the correct comparison, she went beyond to-day's Bishop Budde.

Lady Anne: No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.
Richard: But I know none, and therefore am no beast. Richard III (I.ii.71-2)

Trump is merciless. Moses spoke to faro, and faro was hardened to be more hardened.
