The MAGA Movement is Evil

“Satan is the Father of lies…”which has come to steal, kill & destroy” The MAGA movement is fundamentally anti-Christian & is committed to a delusional reality.

Sagan saw what was coming 30 years ago. What he describes is exactly what is happening today.

Sadly, the group I came from - white evangelical Christians are the ones leading the pack when it comes to a "celebration of ignorance"

Carl Sagan was prescient.

Homer’s Odyssey is filled with terrifying monsters; Cyclops, Scylla, Charybdis, the Sirens.

But the one who steals the most time from Odysseus is Calypso.

She doesn’t threaten him with death. She offers comfort, safety, love and keeps him from Ithaca for seven years.

Maybe that’s Homer’s deepest lesson: the greatest obstacles in life don’t always look like monsters. Sometimes, they look like comfort.

Hardships test our courage. Comfort tests our purpose.

Maybe real monsters in life don’t look like monsters !!

@HQNewsNow 1. @berniemoreno Moreno screaming ‘Who the fuck did you think you were?’ at Fauci is cute, considering he tiptoes around a fellow Republican accused of abusing his daughter. Amazing how tough guys get when the target is a doctor instead of someone in their own caucus. Shameful.

[Leasha Knight 🇺🇲🦅#NoKings @LeashaKnight]

@HQNewsNow Dr Fauci served under 7 presidents starting with Reagan. Dedicated 5 decades of service to our national health. But somehow he became a celebrity seeking, liar, incompetent scientist under the president who suggested "light inside the body" and horse dewormer as cures.

Trump and Musk promised to shrink the deficit. Instead, it's projected to grow — to $2.5 trillion a year within a decade (in today's dollars).

That's a heavier burden for taxpayers, and it pushes up interest rates on credit cards, mortgages and beyond.

The USA has no universal healthcare, but it does have 49 billionaires who made their wealth from private healthcare. 🤔

The U.S. has worse wealth distribution than pre-revolutionary France.

A new investigation finds California's largest ICE detention facility neglected detainees' medical needs, denying cancer treatment, insulin, and basic disability accommodations.

A new White House rule would restrict international collaboration, potentially shutting U.S. scientists out of critical discoveries.

The shift “could jeopardize the whole future of high-energy physics,” one scientist said.

David Barton is a fake historian who wrote a book on Thomas Jefferson that was so inaccurate his publisher was forced to pull it from the shelves.

Now Barton, and his son Tim, are advising Trump on his anti-Smithsonian crusade.

Making Ross Douthat a 60 Minutes correspondent is the least self-aware thing an opinion journalist hired to run a TV news network could do.

“And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you" (Mt 6:5).

If Elon Musk, the richest man alive, really believes "money won't matter" in 2036, he'd support a 5% tax on his wealth & the wealth of other billionaires to make sure all Americans have a decent standard of living.

The fact that he doesn’t tells you everything you need to know.

Kathryn spent over a month interviewing Restore members and even flew down to attend one of our gatherings last month—and she so perfectly describes who we are and what we’re trying to accomplish together in this article. If you’ve ever wondered what our church is like, this is it:

Many of Restore’s members are religious exiles who’ve left conservative evangelical churches — often citing an emphasis on Christian nationalism. They’ve come to Restore looking for a church that both worships Jesus as a savior and follows what they describe as his model of radical love. They’re hoping they don’t have to give up their jeans, church coffee and worship music to find it.

“I bet we’re still 90% people who have had bad church experiences,” said Zach Lambert, lead pastor and founder of Restore. “More and more people, I think, have seen a need for a church like ours to be an alternative to Christian nationalist, right-wing churches.”
