Mrs. Betty Bowers: Mike Pence's Version of Matthew 25:35-40:

"For I was hungry and you OBSERVED me, I was thirsty and you OBSERVED me, I was a stranger and you OBSERVED me, I was in prison and you OBSERVED me. Do the least for your brothers, and get a jackpot in Heaven!"

So here's how you arrest a baby.

1) Arrest the baby's parents or declare them unfit.
2) Baby is now an unaccompanied minor.
3) The government can hold the baby forever.
4) Parents pray they can show a Mathews v. Eldridge procedural due process violation to get their baby back.

The sublime Bette Midler perfectly sums up Trump's social media summit

That thing at the White House yesterday was the social media "summit"? With Sebastian Gorka, James O'Keefe, and Charlie Kirk? I'm too lazy to look it up, but does summit still mean "the top"? Wasn't this more of a social media latrine pit?

Shut your face, Mike.

Vice President Mike Pence

CNN is so dishonest. Today we took reporters to a detention facility on the border for families and children and all told us they were being treated well.

You just posted this pic. Look at that little girl in the background. How old is she? Why is she sitting there alone? How can she understand the meaning of being treated well? This is bullshit and if you had a heart you would know that.

Stephen King predicted rise of Trump 40 yrs ago-but says reality scarier than anything he's written

StephenKing predicted the rise of Trump 40 years ago — but he says the reality is scarier than anything he’s written

In his 1979 novel “The Dead Zone,” King imagined the political rise of “real estate con man” Greg Stillson, whom he described as “a huckster from the word go.”

“I was sort of convinced that it was possible that a politician would arise who was so outside the mainstream and so willing to say anything that he would capture the imaginations of the American people,” King explained in the clip.

King, a fervent critic of Trump in recent years, didn’t believe he’d “necessarily predicted” Trump’s political ascent with the book, however.

“I know that American voters have always had a real attraction to outsiders with the same kind of right-wing ‘America First’ policy,” he noted. “And if that reminds people of Trump, I can’t be sorry because it was a character that I wrote. It was a boogeyman of mine and I never wanted to see him actually on the American political scene but we do seem to have a Greg Stillson as president of the United States.”

Buttigieg quotes from the Bible as he comments on Pence's visit to Texas.


“Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” (Heb 13:3)
