Funny while watching an ancient episode of Wagon Train I heard this same Biblical portion quoted. Wish these blooming Christian Nationalists practiced real Christianity.

You're looking at the obsolete Old Testament.
This passage has been revised in today’s MAGA Testament:

On This Day (Oct 8) in 2025 (5/16)
====================
James Comey, p2
- case has lots of holes, like Swiss cheese
- main witness (Dan Richman) contradicted premise
- case unlikely to make it to trial
- if case goes to trial, Comey likely to win
- Lindsey Halligan could lose her law license

Lindsey Halligan failed to state her name in full for the record: Lindsey Halligan for the United States of America.

She is in way over head, and it’s obvious!

This is a screen capture of an excerpt from the transcript of the James Comey hearing. Patrick Fitzgerald, Comey’s attorney, is not wasting any time. He plans to bring a motion alleging vindictive prosecution.

This is a screen capture of the transcript of the Comey hearing. Patrick Fitzgerald states he will bring a motion challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the U.S. attorney.

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 16h

At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon, yet he still had no qualms about running for president. So... just imagine the magnitude, depravity, and wickedness of the crimes that he's hiding.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

We’ll need to fix if we’re ever back in power. We can’t rely on policy memos in the future. That’s for sure.

Perhaps Pam Bondi is unclear about the AG being a separate entity from the White House. Or that she’s employed with our tax dollars and answers to us. Or that during the Nuremberg trials, claiming “I was just following orders” didn’t work as a defense for crimes committed. There are consequences.

I’ve said this before, & I’ll say it again: That was all part of the plan. Bankrupt farmers & sell their land for pennies on the dollar to rich South Africans who bought Felon47’s Gold Passes. Part of Musk’s repayment for stealing the election. No FEMA for the same reason. Control of our food supply

I’ve lived in rural America long enough to know that the entire point was to bankrupt farmers…

The attack on many fronts, which do you defend against first? I would put the government shutdown & illegal deployment of military troops on US soil at the top of the list. But Felon47’s goal here is to illicit a violent response so that he can enable the Insurrection Act & call off the elections.

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 12h

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

And you wonder why air traffic controllers call in sick? A lot of medical personnel on military bases are local contractors. Contractors aren’t eligible for back pay. So now our military folks don’t have access to medical care. It’ll have a domino affect. How many of them will walk off the job?
