America as Heaven On Earth?

ALIPAC’s William Gheen asserts that U.S. immigration policy must be in accord with the Bible: “Heaven has walls, a gate, and a very strict immigration policy with extreme vetting. No one gets into Heaven unless their entire lives have been analyzed and they have been deemed worthy by the Lord in the Book of Life and enter. For us to imitate earth as it is in Heaven, the United States needs walls and borders, and very strict immigration policies to protect our citizens, [like those] embedded there in the Lord’s Prayer.”

Well one might argue there is a certain logic - if you are a loon....

What would you have men do?

Understand that good is not a thing you are, it’s a thing you do.
Understand that women are human beings, with the same dreams and desires and capacity for pain as men.
Understand that men are human beings, with the same capacity to change as women.
Keep learning. Keep listening.

Liberty Counsel Defends Inflicting Jesus On Remote Tribes Because They Might Be Committing Child...

...Abuse

Via press release from hate group leader Mat Staver:

How can we assume the entire tribe want no contact with the outside world? How can we assume the island is free of domestic, child, or elder abuse? How can we assume that there are no people on the island who long to leave and explore a new life but who are forced to stay? We have no way of knowing, and therefore we cannot flatly assume that isolation is the best course of action for these people.

This week reminds us that Trump’s only lasting legacy will be making all the other presidents seem exceptionally kind, bright, and competent.

Harris To Decide On 2020 WH Bid "Over The Holiday"

Harris says she’ll make 2020 decision “Over the holiday.”

Look for several Dems to potentially get in early to maximize time for fundraising in 1st Quarter.

Need to post big number since the ante for the 1st tier could be $50 million+ raised in 2019.

We now know that the current White House occupant is a delusional, autocratic crackpot

Everything about this man in his businesses life — including the idea that his businesses are “successful” to the idea that he’s a “self made Billionaire” when in reality his father used tax schemes to funnel $Millions in his pocket, he lied using a fake publicist to get onto the Forbes Top 400 list and after 6 bankruptcies he needed to star on a rigged fake game show to keep himself afloat — everything is a fake illusion. His hair is an elaborate comb over illusion, even his skin tone is a result of a fake tan spray and bronzers and he’s displays fake Time Magazine covers featuring himself on the walls of his properties. It seems only natural that that has seeped into every aspect of his life also being and illusion that he himself has begun to believe is real — hence it’s all a self created illusion.

Everything about this man is a lie. At a certain point, it seems like he’s lost track of where the truth ends and the all the self-aggrandizing lies begin.

It’s one thing to come up with a lie to attack your political enemies. It’s another thing to actually try to act on that lie by attempting to have your political enemies prosecuted. That indicates that you actually believe the lie, which means that you are in a deep state of self-delusion.
