Not saying you one of those people but Iβm anticipating theyβll show up in the comments.
It sounds self righteous to say that about churches universally. It is a time for church staff to be introspective and look for ways to help but giving it all away without weighing the costs elsewhere in church programs?

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.
A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza?
Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse
HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it
Under Trump, even Halloween has gotten more expensive. π
Candy prices are up 10.8%. Costumes and decorations cost more than ever. ππ¬
Trump's reckless tariffs are crushing working families & Republicans are doing nothing to stop him. tcf.org/content/comm...
