Let’s call this what it is, it’s not just hypocrisy, it’s moral fraud. Franklin Graham had no problem demonizing Barack Obama, a faithful husband, scandal-free, disciplined, educated, Black man, the very embodiment of the “bootstraps” gospel white evangelicals preach about, as some kind of threat, even suggesting that he was antichrist. Yet, the same Graham bows in reverence to Donald Trump, an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, unrepentant racist, porn star banging, pathological liar, with a trail of infidelity, exploitation, documented racism, and associations with convicted child sex traffickers, and has the caucasity to call him “raised up by God.” That’s not discernment, that’s deception, dishonesty, and disregard for the sacred text he claims to believe. The standard didn’t change, the subject did. Obama’s integrity was dismissed because he was Black. Trump’s corruption is sanctified because he is white and politically useful. Graham isn’t applying scripture, he’s weaponizing it. He ignores sin when it serves power, then quotes the Bible to justify the very wickedness it condemns. That’s not Christianity, that’s idolatry of whiteness, wrapped in religious language and draped in a flag.  This is hypocrisy at its highest level: Calling evil good when it benefits you, and calling good evil when it threatens your power. And then having the audacity to say God said it.

President Trump will never waver in protecting and celebrating faith and religious liberty. This Holy Week, the Trump administration honors the Christian faith with several events at the White House leading up to the blessed holiday of Easter. 💛🇺🇸

Look at that mostly empty $3,800,000,000 light rail train! Now look at that $500,000 bus overtaking it and having more flexible options for riders. Oh well, it’s just taxpayer money. Doesn’t need to be spent responsibly.

@Lancegooden Yes, because it is completely outsized to the White House complex, which is the People’s house—not Trump’s house—and it is supposed to go through a non-partisan review process, which Trump ignored.

President FDR built an indoor swimming pool with private funds. President Obama built a basketball court with private funds. Yet a single judge can block President Trump from building a PRIVATELY FUNDED ballroom that would benefit generations to come.

To illustrate the total absurdity of Justice Jackson, she ruled last year that states *do not* have the right to ban child sex changes, but ruled today that states *do* have the right to ban counselors from telling boys they are not girls.
AF Post@AFpost

The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 against a Colorado law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ minors, finding that it violates the First Amendment. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter. Follow: @AFpost

These meetings will be studied for years. Grown men turned into pets by Trump, and their own greed and cowardliness. It's almost impossible to believe that humans can degrade themselves this much. When I see this, assuming I'm done throwing up, I'm ashamed to be a human.

@KIROCharlie What should be asked: why did we do nothing about decades of regressive taxes that penalized working class /middle income residents with high sales taxes, incoherent and high B&O taxes and other consumer taxes. why didn’t we spread the tax burden out a long time ago?

Charlie Harger, KIRO Newsradio
Today’s commentary: the debate over Washington’s new income tax is not just about legality, labels, or whether it survives in court. It is also about the people getting squeezed right now. If the state budget has more than doubled in 10 years, more people should be asking: where is all that money going?
KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM🎙@KIRONewsradio

Washington just passed a new “millionaire tax”… and the backlash was immediate. Lawsuits. Repeal efforts. And a big question: Why does this idea keep coming back when voters have rejected income taxes 11 times? @KIROCharlie breaks it down in today's commentary.

@ScottPresler @LeaderJohnThune TWO QUESTIONS: Why should the federal government have access to state voter roll databases? What state has ever found voter fraud or non-citizens attempting to vote in excess of 0.0047% of ballots?

@JakeCan72 It will likely be as vulgar as the gold-encrusted Oval Office and Cabinet Room, Trump’s Versailles on Viagra. Everything that Donald Trump touches is vulgar and without class.

Donald Trump’s presidential library will be a 47-story skyscraper on Biscayne Bay — 47 floors for the 47th president. The lobby will house a full-sized Air Force One, fighter jets, helicopters, and a tank. A golden escalator leads to replicas of the Oval Office and the Rose Garden. A gold statue of Trump, fist raised — a permanent tribute to Butler, Pennsylvania. Florida’s Cabinet voted unanimously to donate 2.63 acres of prime Miami waterfront to make it happen. The foundation is raising $1 billion. Private. No taxpayer funding. No president has ever built anything like it — because no president has ever done anything like it.
