President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show 'mercy' to illegal immigrants and transgender children. On the first full day of Trump's presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office. Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were not criminals and he shouldn't deport those with children.

Comments:

I'm guessing that left-wing hag will never get the opportunity to deliver another sermon to Trump. He knows he doesn't have to put up with that tripe. He probably won't darken the door of the National Cathedral again.

Melania was staring daggers at the woke bishop - and she deserved it. Her remarks were completely inappropriate for the occasion.

January 5, 2025 "Pope Francis has tapped Cardinal Robert McElroy as the new archbishop of Washington, D.C., appointing one of his top U.S. allies, one of the American church's most forceful defenders of migrants and a sharp critic of Donald Trump's first administration just days before Trump takes office a second time." January 21, 2025 "President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show 'mercy' to illegal immigrants and transgender children." On the first full day of Trump's presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office. "'I've given up speaking to President Trump. We need to replace President Trump,' she said then." The 88 year old, plenty of health problems, socialist Pope.

As for the Pope, if that's his real name, Trump should challenge him to a push-up contest and as for Bishop Budde, she's a woman and, well, you know what Trump said you do with women...exactly...you reason with them and when that doesn't work, you go golfing.

Years ago I was among those invited to the placing of the capstone on this vast cold edifice. The Episcopal church has been known for decades to actively promote what are now called "woke" issues. This is not the appropriate denomination to be managing and operating and using as a bully pulpit anything calling itself "the National Cathedral".

She is no more a Bishop than she is a kumquat. TEC (it left the PECUSA name decades ago) is about as Christian as the Masjid Noor ul Islam mosque Dearborn, MI. The whole denomination is woke in the extreme. It is a social club for leftists who like to dress in pretty robes and live off the money from dead people. It's no wonder that she has no class or decorum.

Many people reject the LGBTQ lifestyle. That's reality. There are reasons for that rejection. That's why so many people reject the lifestyle. Leave religion out of it. The opinion of a President isn't going to change that one way or another. My question to the LGBTQ community: Is it worth it? Embrace the LGBTQ lifestyle and get ready to face a lot of rejection. The Bishop prides herself a social influencer. She's in the wrong business.

No one wishes you harm let alone death. You may pretend to be anything you want. Hop in your backyard - Look I am a rabbit. Weave a web out of yarn - Look I am a spider. Wear lipstick and press on nails - Look I am a girl. Playing pretend can be fun and enjoyable. BUT it is pretend. Feel free to live your fantasy but you can’t demand that I accept your fantasy as reality. I will not join in your insanity. Your DNA is concrete. Men can’t become women and women cannot become men. As an adult you may choose your life path. Leave the kids alone. As an adult I choose to believe you suffer from a mental condition.

When you make a lesbian or a homosexual a Bishop you have already gone against the Bible so religion is not an issue. Any LGBTQ is more interested in their perverted sexual escapades than in religious doctrine.

When reports surfaced over the weekend that mass deportations could potentially begin in the Chicago area Tuesday, Martin Ramos informed his boss that he was taking time off from work, stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week. Ramos — who emigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico, without the necessary work permits — spent the first full day of Donald Trump’s second presidency hunkered down with his family and trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents. An arrest, he knows, would destroy everything he and his wife worked for and force their two boys into an uncertain future.

Senior advisers to Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign suggested this week that there just wasn’t much else Harris could have done to beat Donald Trump. Harris couldn’t have distanced herself from President Joe Biden, they said, because she was loyal. She couldn’t have responded more forcefully to attacks over trans rights, because doing so would have been playing Trump’s game. And she might not have had much chance of winning anyway, given the deficit she inherited from Biden when he dropped out of the race in July.

Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in the 2024 election saw the end of a host of political assumptions — about the country, the inevitability of the left’s generation-shifting agenda and the inability of the Republican Party to penetrate key demographics that have proven resistant to its message. But it also ends one of the most vile and corrupt strains of political activity in the past eight years: the professionalized NeverTrump movement, which raised scads of cash — “generational wealth,” in the phrasing of Steve Schmidt — selling an obviously failed product to Trump’s antagonists.

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld apparently had enough of co-host Jessica Tarlov’s shenanigans about the second Trump presidency and the slew of executive orders that have virtually undone everything Joe Biden did over the past four years. In 36 hours, an entire presidency was revoked. Tarlov asked Gutfeld about birthright citizenship, which led to Gutfeld unleashing an epic tirade against liberal America being incapable of understanding this moment. First, on the immigration questions, Gutfeld aptly noted that you don’t need to like everything in a restaurant to like the establishment. That’s the typical authoritarian tendency of the Left—you must like or comply with everything they say, including candidates.

For the more liturgically-minded readers and those wayward Episcopalians, the order of service can be found here. A certain amount of ecumenicism is to be expected and appreciated at such a service. Jesse J. Swann, Jr., chief of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, gave the invocation. Rabbi Susan N. Shankman read from Deuteronomy 10:17-21, and cantor Susan Bortnick offered the Jewish call to prayer.

That cost taxpayers a whopping $179 million in fiscal year 2023, the post said. DOGE has been tasked with coming up with recommendations on how to cut federal spending. It's unclear if it would advise permanently killing off the penny, or just halting or trimming the penny's production.
