What really surprises me is "and endorsed former President Donald J. Trump."

It means he expects Trump to win and has now declared fealty to the fascist.

It also means the GOP is a fascist party and people won't raise a voice internally.

: America Is Under Attack’: Inside the Anti-D.E.I. Campaign, "Diversity, equity, and inclusion"

Thousands of emails and other documents reveal the playbook, and grievances, behind one strand of the growing backlash against “wokeism” at public universities.
...
Centered at the Claremont Institute, a California-based think tank with close ties to the Trump movement and to Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, the group coalesced roughly three years ago around a sweeping ambition: to strike a killing blow against “the leftist social justice revolution” by eliminating “social justice education” from American schools.

At the risk of going off-topic:

The NY Times - Pastor Charged With Cryptocurrency Fraud Said God Told Him to Do It

23 Jan 2024

A pastor in Denver who said that God told him to sell cryptocurrency that could not be cashed is facing civil charges, along with his wife, for marketing a digital coin that prosecutors said was “practically worthless” and using the proceeds to support a “lavish lifestyle.” ...

Prosecutors said that the couple, who had no experience in cryptocurrency exchanges, marketed the INDXcoin to Christians in Denver, and raised nearly $3.2 million from more than 300 people who bought it from June 2022 to April 2023. Mr. Regalado and his wife then used the money for themselves ...

Mr. Regalado said that he went into the cryptocurrency business because “the Lord” told him to.

He said that God had once come to him a dream and asked him to do so, and he accepted that he and his wife spent the funds in “a home remodel that the Lord told us to do.” ...

He said that he still hoped that investors could get their money back, and that he believed “God is going to work a miracle in the financial sector.”

Is that the same god that gives children eye worm? He sure is a busy deity!

CBS News: House investigators scrutinize Rep. Matt Gaetz's defunct federal criminal sex trafficking probe

Investigators with the House Ethics Committee appear to be taking a deeper look at the now closed federal probe into the conduct of Rep. Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, and have in recent weeks reached out to witnesses and the Justice Department for information, according to multiple sources familiar with the recent developments. At least one witness has sat for an interview, one of the sources said.

Gaetz, who is being investigated by the House committee over allegations that include sexual misconduct, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. The Justice Department last year declined to charge Gaetz in its sex trafficking investigation.

An individual was contacted by congressional investigators two weeks ago with a request for records tied to the now defunct federal investigation into whether the congressman violated sex trafficking laws, one of the sources said Wednesday.

The NY Times - Navarro Is Sentenced to 4 Months in Prison for Stonewalling Congress in Jan. 6 Inquiry

breaking

Peter Navarro, a trade adviser to former President Donald J. Trump who helped lay plans to keep Mr. Trump in office after the 2020 election, was sentenced on Thursday to four months in prison for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. ...

The judge overseeing the case, Amit P. Mehta, rejected Mr. Navarro’s primary defense: that Mr. Trump had personally directed him not to cooperate with the subpoena, and that he believed he was shielded by executive privilege.

“The words executive privilege are not magical incantations,” Judge Mehta said. “It’s just not, it’s not a get-out-of-jail-free card.”

Awesome news, now onto Steve Bannon and all the other Republican cowards who ignored their subpoenas - yet fully expect Hunter Biden to show up for theirs and have a big, long whinge about it when he doesn't. Hypocrites 🙄

Jesus:

“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
"Judge not, that you be not judged."
"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

The MAGA Christian mentions "there are two girls in Iowa City who identify as horses, as you have to accept it"

It was only reported once by the Telegraph, and it was a cat.
luckily the Telegraph gave the school name. The imagined event was in the UK.
Of course it never happened, and he even managed to maul the lie. (most of these lies lack anyway of verifying the facts)
conservatives later expanded the lie to say schools are being forced to supply litter boxes for students
again never happened

MAGA Christian gets very unchristian when asked about the left

The second image reminds me of a meme I saw recently (which I can't find at the moment) which basically says "I'm struggling in the Bible to find the passage where it says you need an AR-15" or words to that effect, which I thought was also quite clever.

There are some "There's no hate like Christian love" that make sense in some contexts too.
