The way Republicans are rallying around Trump to protect him from the Epstein Files is sickening.

Jimmy Kimmel struck the perfect balance, defending free speech, modeling compassion and civility, and peppering acerbic humor impugning that spray-tanned, thin-skinned wannabe dictator.

Twenty years ago, but not recently. He's definitely a controversial figure.

With MAGA, the Cruelty is the Point

With Trump and MAGA, the cruelty is the point. This is the image into which evangelicalism has conformed itself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2la...

Evangelicals claiming to be prolife because they're anti-abortion is like a carnivore claiming to be vegetarian because they're anti-veal.

Sean McDowell presents as urbane and thoughtful, but at heart he's a toxic fundamentalist preacher without the fear-based drama:

Charlie Kirk and the Legacy of MAGA Christianity
YouTube video by Randal Rauser - The Tentative Apologist Charlie Kirk and the Legacy of MAGA Christianity

Evangelical apologist Frank Turek claims Charlie Kirk was a tireless evangelist for Jesus Christ. In fact, he was an evangelist for MAGA Christianity, and that's a very different thing.

I still remember when I first saw the SuperMagna in the late 80s. I was blown away by the crazy styling. I saw a 3rd gen Magna at a dealership in 94 but ended up getting a used Suzuki Intruder. I finally got a 96 Magna in 2012. Once the powerband hits about 5500 you're singing to redline. :)

Donald Trump endorsing my book "Jesus Loves Canaanites". He may be a felon, insurrectionist, and adjudicated sexual abuser, but he has good taste in books.

I just dug up a picture where I'm giving a concert with my high school rock band back c. 1991.

Notably, he didn't apologize until he was forced to days after the original statement.

Brian Kilmeade advocates the mass killing of a vulnerable population and then says "oops, sorry," and we're supposed to forget? Um, no.

It's time to get back to the fact that the POTUS is refusing to release the files on his former close friend and the world's most notorious pedophile. Release the Epstein Files, Donald. What are you hiding?
