Personally, I'm not into churches or ritual or even the Bible. But Jesus had some great messages that I meditate on a lot. That said, there are a lot of fake Christians around who seem to think Jesus' message needs to be reversed. And those are Trump followers. My old pal Frank Schaeffer wrote about that on his blog and made the tape above that you might want to watch today instead of going to church.

I didn't go to Thanksgiving dinner last night. I just didn't want to political arguments with friends. Oh, obviously all my friends hate Trump's guts and they all want to see him impeached and removed. The only arguments there would be between those who want to see him in prison and those who want to see him face... well something more final.

I'm going to start a new feature tonight. We all get way too many e-mails from candidates asking for money, right?. Many of them are created by over-priced, under-talented communications consultants with messaging straight from the two-legged jokes who work at the DCCC, DNC and DSCC.

Trump doesn't own a dog; he doesn't understand that relationship. In fact, he hates animals. And he laughs at farmers-- even if was, after all, rural counties that made him president.

Congressional Terrorist by Nancy OhanianOver the weekend Trump TV reported that "Fox News has learned that the Pentagon, State Department and National Security Council were 'unanimous' in supporting the aid to Ukraine, and that Trump acted alone in withholding the aid over the summer." That was the a

Before leaving town for another long vacation, the House-- which just got back for a few days-- voted, as had the Senate, to overturn Trump’s bogus national emergency declaration, the excuse he's been using for stealing money from the Pentagon to use for his vanity wall. Trump will veto it.

Roy Cooper and Dan ForestIn 2017, a panel of judges threw out North Carolina's gerrymandered legislative districts, calling them unconstitutional and telling the State Assembly to redraw nearly half the 170 districts. The new map of the state's House and Senate districts have been submitted to the same panel.Although North Carolina is a swing state when it comes to statewide elections-- in 2016 current Gov.
