This is evil. Instead of uplifting people, religion is used as a weapon to hurt others. Explains why many people have left churches, synagogues and mosques.

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch. https://youtu.be/Nmq7QqqY4vo?si=-_IyB5RX1IeFYjHW

There needs to be accountability for these crimes . The White House can always be rebuilt but those families will never be the same.

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.

That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.

TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,
