I have a message for Sam Osterhout: Don't you EVER again compare a second rate singer like Michael Tait to the Beatles!!!!! Elvis is the ONLY one who can be included with the Beatles. Your analogy indicates your ignorance of the history of singers.

Isn’t it a sad reflection on us Americans that trump actually killing children in large numbers worldwide by gutting food aid is less of a story than his sexual predations.

Thank you for writing this, Sam. I’m gutted for every victim. It’s so hard to square up the Mike I knew with this person, but he was a predator even then, I suppose. I was taken by how he took one of his victims to Liberty and drove through at 60mph, only to have campus police laugh and gush and let him go when they realized it was him. And he supposedly said to that victim, “when you’re somebody, you can get away with anything.”

As human beings, we must stop giving people passes because they’re “somebody.” These victims deserve justice. So many ruined lives so a few people could have more money and power.

Thanks, Sam. I wondered what happened to Lisa and Andra. This was indeed a powerful story concerning Christian conservative music and their influence on the MAGA movement. Actually, I don't know if I ever heard any of their songs. I have a very stubborn adversity to anything that reeks of fundamentalism--even music. How the CN men think they can do no wrong is not a surprise. For some reason I am not surprised that Tait did not live up to what you pointed out he wrote in his songs. They do protest or profess too much? After reading this I think I will clear my head by listening to Celtic Thunders, "A Place in the Choir." A little joy is warranted at this moment. Take care.

Shocking but not too surprising.

“Exult,” though, is not a transitive verb.

Whenever some "christian" usually republican man starts opining on family, christian values the first thing that pops into my head is: what are you f******? Whores or children?

Again i wonder why each time i read some new "news". i hang my head down in disbelief ...by now i should know that nothing really nothing new this orange person will do , can surprise me .

does he really have these corrupt , mean atrocious ideas all by himself , or does he have a group of slaves like people searching for him , finding new unknown ways to show his cruelty ...?

i know a lot of people over seas , they ask questions , i am shamed .

Interference of 2026 Midterms: Cheeto’s Use of the DOJ to Subvert the Election

MSM(mainstream media) has got to get more involved at reporting what Cheeto’s DOJ is doing and will continue to do to subvert the upcoming 2026 elections There have been a number of actions taken by the Nazi regime and specifically the DOJ since taking office but the efforts have continued to ramp up with the most recent demands by DOJ for all states to hand over registered voting rolls for their “inspection”

This should be taken in context what happened in 2024 There is reputable evidence albeit circumstantial that the current Nazi regime subverted the election and given their success they are out for more This time using the power of the DOJ and federal resources to “legitimately” go after states’ rights to interfere with the election Not only that but create a Palantir/Peter Thiel data base of registered voters in order to disenfranchise legitimate voters ala vigilante challenges, this time on a greater scale (bit.ly/43K4Gl2)

Like the 2024 election there was a multipronged approach to interference and subversion…not just one thing done but a multiplicity of events that led to the Democratic loss Already we are seeing red state gerrymandering, above DOJ demands, and who knows what’s next Can get a better idea of the breadth with Democracy Docket(https://bit.ly/45c27aM)
