Justice Amy Coney Barrett Says The Law Isn't An "Opinion Poll" As Supreme Court Faces Longshot Bid To Revisit Same-Sex Marriage

During a recent televised debate, Rep. Jasmine Crockett took Mike Huckabee down over his interpretation of Christian morality.

Jasmine Crockett:

“Governor Huckabee, what does Jesus say in Matthew 25 about how we’ll be judged?”

Mike Huckabee:

He hesitated, mumbling something about sheep and goats.

Crockett: “That’s right. The final judgment. Would you like me to quote it?”

Before Huckabee could respond, she read directly from her phone:

“I was hungry and you gave me food.

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.

I was a stranger and you welcomed me.

I was sick and you looked after me.

I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

Crockett continued:

“Jesus doesn’t mention abortion.

He doesn’t mention same-sex marriage.

He doesn’t bring up tax rates or culture war issues.

The only criteria Jesus gives for heaven or hell are how we treat the poor, the sick, the immigrant, the prisoner.”

She looked Huckabee in the eye:

“So, Governor, if you oppose every single one of those policies, what does that say about your understanding of Christian morality?”

Huckabee tried to respond, but Crockett pressed on:

Matthew 19:21 – “Sell all your possessions and give to the poor.”

Luke 4:18 – “Proclaim good news to the poor, freedom for the prisoners.”

Matthew 8 – Jesus heals a man with leprosy, touching someone society called unclean.

“You say I’m not a real Christian because I support feeding programs for kids, universal health care, and immigration reform. But Jesus said those are the exact things that determine salvation.”

Then came the knockout:

“Jesus never said, ‘I was a wealthy corporation and you gave me tax breaks.’

He never said, ‘I was a gun manufacturer and you protected my profits.’

He never said, ‘I was a pharmaceutical company and you let me charge whatever I wanted.’”

Crockett concluded: “Your version of faith asks whether someone deserves help before offering it. But Jesus never said, ‘I was hungry and you checked if I had a job first.’”

She quoted Isaiah 58, Proverbs 31, and Micah 6:8, then addressed Huckabee’s final attempt to challenge her.

Huckabee: “But you still support abortion and same-sex marriage. You’re picking and choosing.”

Crockett: “The word abortion appears zero times in the Bible. Same-sex marriage, also zero. But caring for the poor? Dozens of times. Welcoming immigrants? Direct commands. Healing the sick? Over and over again. So if someone’s cherry-picking, Governor, it isn’t me.”

She closed with this: “You’ve spent your whole career telling Christians they have to choose between their politics and their faith. But maybe the real question is this: How can someone claim to follow Jesus while opposing everything Jesus said?”

What We Know About Minnesota School Shooting Suspect Robin Westman

"Frey stressed at a second news conference, 'Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate.'

'Kids died today,' he continued. 'This needs to be about them. This needs to be wrapping our arms around these families.'

Oh, just stop. We all know these people are severely mentally ill. This is the second trans person to commit a mass shooting in, what, just the past year or two? We're not supposed to speak out against the trans community even though this freak had an image of a rifle over the LGBTQIA flag? Come on. People are getting sick of it. I'm a Schizophrenic & I have never experienced "equality" either, & no one cares. We don't need to be talking about the trans community in terms of "equality". We need to be talking about it being a symptom of serious mental illness. Incels are also a "community" & we don't talk about their "equality" because they're clearly fucking deranged!

School District Calls On Teachers Not To Post 'Personal' Wish Lists

Yet those in Missouri with a similar philosophy are advocating to allocate 50 million in tax payer dollars to private schools.

How about you just adequately fund the public schools & allow teachers to continue accepting donations? The last I checked, private schools aren't hurting for funds. We're already dealing with this:

Missouri Public Schools Stand To Lose $64 Million In Federal Funding

This is happening in other areas of the country as well:
