Franklin Graham is a misguided soul. He and all the other fake Christians have aligned themselves with a convicted felon. God has allowed Trump, Hitler, and Nebuchadnezzar in the OT to have power so that His people will turn back to Him. Any Bible student knows this. And God shares His glory with no one.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ll be glad when this election is over. How long have these people been running? And this is just a midterm primary. God help us when the 2028 elections roll around.

I’m so proud that candidate Ed Brown has used his time with voters and through his ads to show that he actually has a platform that he plans to use in office. I’m tired of lying politicians making promises they won’t — and can’t — keep.

Facebook post of the day: “If everything is still Biden’s fault, then Trump is admitting he’s not capable of changing anything.” That Man Without a Family

Jim Crow 2.0 approved by the Supreme Court and being carried out in Tennessee. They took Memphis and spit the district into four to kill the black vote. Hey, think of the opportunity here. They created four districts and diluted the rural vote. They forgot that there are independent and even some Republican voter dissatisfaction.The best thing to do is show up and vote in the new now purple districts they created and turn them blue. Beat them at their unfair game.

“If government programs are going to exist, the bare minimum requirement is that they serve the people they claim to serve. Right now, Medicaid is serving scammers — and taxpayers are footing the bill.” — Ben Shapiro

It is tragic that the female that was injured during the drag race accident on Krug Street has now lost her unborn baby. But she is blaming the reckless conduct of the racers, which is somewhat true. But the problem with two deaths that night, her injuries and now losing her baby, is that they were all out there at 1 a.m., watching the illegal race on a public street. She cannot blame that fact on others.

Just wait til the good reverend gets all of his homies elected. Then we’ll see some real money flying out the windows and doors to all his good and faithful do-boys and girls.

A group of physicians — 36 strong — has urged officials in the federal government to remove Trump from office for the good of the nation. They warn that in his “unstable condition,” he is not mentally capable of carrying out the duties of the office and might launch nuclear codes that will start World War III. And, of course, you know that thought keeps him up texting with joy all night.

Hey, Trump “Christians:” When the roll is called up yonder, you won’t be there.

Why are we paying a simpleton like Trump to sleep through important meetings? He needs to be put down like an animal that no longer has the capacity to carry out his purpose.
