I wonder if our spineless government will heed this common sense demand before more blood is spilt?

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:
Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track.
Spread the word. Stand up for science.
More than anything else, Christianity is a love song. People shy away from saying that out loud, though…. Perhaps Christians fear that they themselves barely understand the radical implications of a way of life based on the love of God…. Mary Butler Bass
Sadly, most of the Tech-bro's of Silicone Valley hold similar views. They see empathy as obstructive to a future run by their robotic minions. The fact that there can be no following of the great religions without empathy doesn't escape them. That's the plan.
Recently, the leader of the March and March movement announced that “ubuntu is suspended”. This incendiary remark should be a wake-up call to us all. To suspend ubuntu is to suspend our own humanity. That’s what we white South Africans did to implement apartheid - Jan Jobson.
When innocent foreigners die, the marchers who caused it will shrug and say, "I didn't kill anybody - I just marched and sang and exercised my rights." Just like Pilate washing his hands.
Quite simply, those marching singing their hatred of foreigners are not innocent South Africans, but proxy killers: they will plead innocence but know very well that their actions will stir murder somewhere in our land.
Xenophobic marchers stirring hatred of foreigners are messengers of the new apartheid. They flout the teachings of all major religions in South Africa. They already have the blood of 5 persons from Mozambique and a young South African lad mistaken for one, on their hands.
@USEmbassySA@BrentBozell South Africa has a problem with the US bombing an elementary school in Iran and killing about 160 children and their teachers.
South Africa has a problem with the US supplying military aid to a country that is committing unspeakable atrocities in the Middle East, including a genocide.
South Africa has a problem with the gun violence in America, which has claimed the lives of elementary school children. This violence is perpetrated by people who can buy a gun at a convenience store without checks and balances, because US law allows it.
South Africa has a problem with the reversal of Roe V Wade, which has denied women their reproductive rights and criminalised even medically recommended termination.
South Africa has a problem with voter suppression which denies mainly Black and poor voters their democratic rights.
South Africa has a problem with a US president initiating a rebellion against an election outcome. This included the storming of the Capitol, wherein the SON of THIS Ambassador to South Africa, participated and was convicted as a felon in that crime.
South Africa has a problem with Africa's debt crisis that has been created by US-led Western institutions.
South Africa has a problem with the UN Security Council and its resistance to reform. Resistance led mainly, by the USA.
There are MORE problems but I have to go do my nails.
Unbelievable…! Joel Osteen reveals it cost $100,000,000 to renovate Lakewood Church.
“My dad was taught that to be holy or a Christian, you need to be poor and think defeated. That was years ago, but it’s that mindset. I have a different mindset. It cost $100M to renovate this facility. I can’t do that with a mindset that we’re not supposed to have anything”
In January, Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby summoned Pope Leo XIV's ambassador to the United States, to the Pentagon. Colby’s threat: “America has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”[Faithful America]

The pleasure of listening to common sense leadership plans without a single cheap shot: Ferial Haffajee interviews Geordin Hill-Lewis on how he envisions being both Mayor of Cape Town and Leader of the DA.
“On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise honoring him as king. They call me king now. Can you believe it?”
- President Trump compares himself to Jesus Christ, the Christian Messiah, days before the Easter holiday. (2026)
Unbelievable. Paula White is in charge. She says because of Jesus’s resurrection, Trump rose up too. She asks people to stretch their hands towards the President.
She says to Trump: “You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. You will be victorious in all you put your hand to because God is using you!”
In this Holy Week, another betrayal: when those claiming to be Christian leaders elevate this sad, sick and cruel man to the level of Jesus Christ, they betray the Christian faith itself and commit idolatry.
BREAKING: Televangelist Paula White compares Trump to Jesus because they were both “betrayed and arrested and falsely accused.”
