Old Proverb: A Fool and his Money are Soon Parted. Why Not to Trust Republicans with your Social Security
So what’s this all about? If you or anyone you care about relies on a Social Security check each month, you should know the answer to two questions. 1. Whose signature was on those checks after the program was launched in 1935? 2. Who’s been trying to get their hands on that check—or […]
Hear Evangelical Leaders Explain Why They Have Repented of their Support for Trump
Evangelical Christians have been among Donald Trump’s most reliable supporters. But that support has been eroding as the contrast between Trump’s words and behavior and Christian teachings and values has become harder to ignore. Several prominent preachers who once supported him have had a change of heart — in some cases, a true repentance — […]
An Answer to Evangelicals: If God Put Trump in Power, What Lessons Does He Want Us to Learn?
Neither reason nor faith can reach neo-Nazis, white supremacists, anti-Semites, conspiracy theorists, and other loathsome Trump followers. They have found their leader and he has found them. But those who are committed to following the teachings of Jesus—as they understand them—are in a different category. We undertook our effort to change their minds because we […]
Trump Says Catching Covid-19 ‘Was a Blessing from God.’ What Was it for the 210,000 Dead?
After his premature return to the White House from Walter Reed hospital, a suspiciously bronzed Donald Trump stood on the lawn to try to make political capital from his infection with COVID-19.

Florida Evangelicals Explain Why They Can No Longer Vote For President Trump On August 15, a small group called Fed Up New Yorkers—based in Donald Trump’s home state, where people know him best—used ads on Facebook to post a memorandum to Evangelical voters.

Anti-abortion Zealotry: Trump’s Greatest Con Was Nixon’s Legacy
HOW THE ABORTION CONTROVERSY SERVES CONSERVATISM AND RACISM For some Evangelical voters, as hundreds of recent social-media comments demonstrate, abortion is the moral and religious imperative that overrides all other issues.

Class War’s Smoking Gun: Corporate Elites’ 50-year Plan to Rule the United States
“I believe leaders of the business community, with few exceptions, have chosen to wage a war against working people, the unemployed, the poor, the minorities, the very young and the very old, and even many in the middle class of our society. …I cannot sit there seeking unity with the leaders of American industry, while […]
An Anti-Abortion Christian Asks: Is This the Only Thing That Matters to Jesus? NO!
The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg forces us to confront one of the favorite excuses some voters use for ignoring Donald Trump’s egregiously inhumane and anti-Christian words and deeds. They can turn a blind eye to Trump’s endless sins as long as he appoints judges who will outlaw abortion. That raises […]
Why Donald Trump is Killing the Postal Service: to Rig the Election, with Putin’s Help
Donald Trump is killing the U.S. Postal Service because he and Vladimir Putin are set up to rig America’s voting machines. That’s where our election is most vulnerable; not from paper, mail-in ballots, which are by far the safest voting method we have. They want you to fear the wrong things about the voting process. […]
Reports Confirm What We’ve Always Suspected: Trump’s Contempt for Those Who Actually Serve
