Our delusional orange king thinks he can build a coast-to-coast golden dome missile attack prevention system. I’m confident that this will never happen, and if built, will never do what Trump thinks it will. And what about Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico? No protection for them?
I see that Trump continues to pardon people who don’t deserve it. It looks like fraudsters Todd and Julie Chrisley — who are currently in prison for fraud and tax evasion — are Trump’s latest pardons. These pardons reflect Trump’s indifference towards white-collar crime. Trump previously pardoned Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who took $10 million meant for employee taxes and used it to fund a luxury lifestyle, including buying a $2 million yacht.
Environmental laws are meant to protect us from harm. Trump is rolling back these laws as fast as he can. Conclusion? Trump doesn’t care one bit about the health, safety, and welfare of the American people.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill will not lead to increased spending. Johnson claims he is an Evangelical Christian. Maybe, but he seems not to have read what the Bible says about lying. Trump’s bill will raise the federal deficit by trillions of dollars.
While I am not inclined to cheer when people die, the death of Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty means we will no longer have to listen to his homophobic rants and moralizing screeds. On that point, good riddance.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says draconian cuts to Medicaid will only affect those who are abusing the system. Another lie told by this fine, outstanding Christian man.
Senator John Fetterman needs to resign and take care of his shaky mental health. He is not fit to do the job.
Another aged Democrat, John Rangel, has died. This is one way to cull Congress of congresspeople who have lost all touch with the American people. The Democrats have an age problem. Sadly, we have to wait until the Grim Reaper helps us make way for new, younger leaders.
What’s with the damn political ads on TV? It’s almost two years until the next election. Here’s how I respond to these ads: mute and fast forward.
If the Trump administration successfully does away with habeas corpus, the collapse of our republic is not far behind. Will the Supreme Court turn back Trump’s vicious assault on the Constitution? We shall see.
Bonus: I have an in-person interview with a Washington Times journalist tomorrow. More details later.
Bruce Gerencser, 68, lives in rural Northwest Ohio with his wife of 47 years. He and his wife have six grown children and sixteen grandchildren. Bruce pastored Evangelical churches for twenty-five years in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan. Bruce left the ministry in 2005, and in 2008 he left Christianity. Bruce is now a humanist and an atheist.

The Crisleys were from the town next to my hometown. I could never abide their show.
I agree completely about John Fetterman. I am really disappointed in Fetterman. He ought to resign and let the governor appoint another Democrat.
The Democrats do have some great young people. AOC and Jasmine Crockett (Although she should not have made those aspersions of Greg Abbott ; that had nothing to do with his policies and just came across as mean.) come immediately to mind. Charles Rangel was a Democrat and yes, he was old but I don’t know if his policies were bad.
Are you seeing the campaign ads because you are in Ohio?
Phil Robertson wasn’t “homophobic “. That means you’re afraid of queers. He wasn’t afraid of them.
And he didn’t hate them. Like many of us. If he did and we did hate them we would let them go to hell without telling them about Jesus Christ who died and rose again to transform them and save them eternally.
Surely, you jest. Robertson is homophobic, and so are you. You filthy, derogatory comments reveal you are either a closeted homosexual who has loads self-hatred, or you hate LGBTQ people. Maybe both, for you.
Regardless, there’s nothing “Christian “ about you and your comments.
Good luck in your interview! That’s exciting!
Regulatory is a pain in the ass, but it’s necessary. These rules protect the safety and health of workers and consumers. (Product safety regulations will be the next to go).
This president and administration are like a massive, sick, dangerous, twisted joke that isn’t funny. If we survive, it will be a miracle.
Shame on these Christians who follow along and lie for the orange menace.
Charles Rangel retired in 2017, so he wasn’t a part of the aging “problem” in congress. In my opinion having congress filled with oldsters who don’t retire is not a problem. Why is inexperience a minus in every other profession, but not congress? It’s been a bit of a problem for Democrats in this cycle, only because congressional deaths are making Democrats less likely to succeed in some close votes.
I’m starting to think Trump’s second term is going to be mostly folly. As Lawrence O’Donnell put it, everything that Trump is doing with executive orders will be overturned. The guardrails are good, but also insulate Trump from exposing his bad policy to MAGAts. Trump could still replace Thomas and Alito on the Supreme Court with sycophantic judges like Aileen Cannon. In which case the entire Trump 47 term would boil down to that being the largest downside.
Mike Johnson truly is a piece of work. At least he doesn’t annoy me as much as someone like Jim Jordan.
