This Trump Litmus Test Will Bring Him Down


While no one will claim to be a source for this, word about DC is that anyone who works for the Republican National Committee and applies for a job there must say he/she believes the 2020 election of Joe Biden was a fraud. I wonder if the RNC woman dumped by Trump agreed to this or refused? This plays precisely into the hands of Liz Chaney.

Chaney gave a talk a few blocks from where I live here in Des Moines, IA. News accounts say there was a big crowd. Apparently, she is touring to promote her new book. 

Chaney's message is aimed at Republicans. It is genius. She says, "Joe Biden is terrible. But we can survive four years of him. Trump is throwing out the Constitution. He is worse than Biden. You must not vote for Trump." That Trump and his appointees continue to say the 2020 election actually elected him makes the case Trump and his cabal are a group separate from U.S. society. If Joe Biden forgets some things, his weaknesses are manageable. Whatever problems they cause are reversible. Not the case with Trump and company.

My guess is the majority of Republicans and independents who will not vote for Trump will make this choice primarily for abortion rights. That he is falsely claiming to be the legitimate President gives them an excuse to not vote for him but they don't need to tell others their views on abortion. The false claim about the 2020 election will beat him up twice.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make...

Who Suffers from a "Hardened Heart"

Image
Some years ago on this blog there was a discussion about what the Bible calls "The hardened heart." The "hardened heart" was the explanation given for why people like me cannot accept the tenets of Christianity. We are unable to believe there are floating spirits and gods or imaginary places people go when the die. Now, a prominent Christian preacher and author has given us a way to diagnose the "hardened heart." It contained some surprises.  Rev. John Piper, who spoke about the hardened heart, said we can see this in a person who lacks "ordinary tenderness and compassion." He went on to describe the characteristics of a person without the affliction of the hardened heart. A healthy person displays empathy and sympathy. Those with the hardened heart are like stone. Jesus wanted compassion for the poor. The hardened heart discussion referred to atheists only if they are sinners and then it was indirectly. Sin, Piper said, hardens one's heart a...

Young Women can see Bull$hit a Mile Away

Republicans including their Forced Birth subgroup is bother by recent election results and polling. All show young women going to the left. A poll shows young women are 30% more likely to be very liberal than young men. The link advises the Forced Birth community to give young pregnant women an uplifting message. The message suggested is, "Buck up. You've got this. You can give birth and have a happy life." Another way of saying this is, "It will be OK if you miss work and/or are fired because of the birth. If you cannot make your rent payment, it's OK. Somewhere out there is another place to live. We don't know where but be optimistic."   This is an add on to the new version of the Forced Birth message, "We're for both the baby and the mother." They are not and never have been for the mother. Their message has always been to condemn women who have abortions. Now, the "thoughts and prayers" message, which costs no money, it the me...
