Here's where we are as a nation under modern-day, faux "Christian" leadership. Johnson [the Keebler elf] is one of the absolute worst hypocrites. Claiming to be a follower of Christ is an absolute heresy. And Jesus wept.

These GOP politicians have to stop describing largely peaceful urban centers like Portland and Chicago as war zones. The unpeaceful parts are where the Feds have shown up to spread fear and abuse.

I once toured Atlanta’s 175-year-old Oakland Cemetery with a friend. Were struck by how many families lost multiple children within days of each other. We realized it was due to the lack of vaccines.
And this kooky, lying moron wants to take us back to those days. RFK Jr. should resign.
