The Worst Thing Trump Did on 2/22/25

On Saturday it came to light that Trump is planning on firing 4000 employees of Housing and Urban Development who deal with the VERY REAL and INCREASING homeless problem in the United States. Once again billionaires are deciding that the HOMELESS have had it too good in this country.

This brings up another point.  WHERE ARE THE FREAKING CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AS ALL OF THIS NEEDLESS SUFFERING HAPPENS???

Religious disclaimer:  You do, or don't do, whatever it is you do, or don't, want to do!  I am a Christian.

All of these cuts are to make sure the wealthy get wealthier, and many of the major Christian denominations of this country, THE SAME ONES WHO CALLED EMERGENCY MEETINGS TO LABEL JOE BIDEN A HERETIC BECAUSE HE DARED GO AGAINST CHRISTIAN TEACHINGS BY SUPPORTING A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE,  are stunningly silent.

For the record, Jesus never once mentioned abortion in  Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (Thank you, John Fugelsang).  The Bible is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to when life begins, with numerous mentions of life beginning at first breath.  And what was that approved abortion process in Numbers?

Do you know what Jesus commanded us to do?  Let's look at the Gospel of Matthew:

If you are MAGA and this quote doesn't ring a bell, it's because Far Right MAGA churches have consitently downplayed these direct teachings of Jesus so they can snuggle up to Trump.  They focus on condemning two things Jesus never condemned, abortion and the LGBTQIA+ community, tossing Jesus' actual teachings aside.

Trump has gone out of his way to take food out of the mouths of the hungry, just to give billionaires tax breaks.  WHERE'S YOUR OUTRAGE CHRISTIANS???

Trump has already attacked clean water regulations, which will make water undrinkable for many Americans, so mega-companies and billionaires can save money by not cleaning up THEIR messes. WHERE'S YOUR OUTRAGE CHRISTIANS???

Trump has started rounding up the strangers and throwing them out because they aren't European Whites. And cutting housing assistance for the homeless is clearly not inviting the needy in.  They're doing these things to appease racists and help give the wealthy more money. WHERE'S YOUR OUTRAGE CHRISTIANS???

Trump has not only fired a lot of people without cause (which will lead to them not being able to afford necessities like clothes) but he has also cut aid to the poorest people (undeniably unclothing them), so billionaires can get more taxpayer money. WHERE'S YOUR OUTRAGE CHRISTIANS???

Trump and his allies are taking joy in killing Medicaid for the disabled, slashing Medicare benefits for the sick, laying off staff at the CDC and Department of Health, and slashing money dedicated to research that will stop illnesses, so they can give billionaires bigger tax breaks. WHERE'S YOUR OUTRAGE CHRISTIANS???

Trump has taken the undocumented workers and their families to Guantanamo, to prevent anyone from seeing what they are doing to these people, to appease racists. WHERE'S YOUR OUTRAGE CHRISTIANS???

Most major religions have said NOTHING as their Christian faith is shredded. Silence! Their complicity in this abhorrence is a disgrace. And as their parishes suffer, will they find their courage? Nope, they'll continue to hyper-focus on hate, or Romans, or Leviticus, or one of the lesser books of the Bible to validate their true God, Trump.

THIS is why your pews are emptier and emptier.

Here endeth the lesson...
