Our Constitutional Republic faces a clear and present danger more deadly than that of the Civil War. The danger is the Republican Party, a "political party" that has sold out to white supremacy, autocracy, misogyny, and hatred of everything our Nation stands for. Republicans dismiss any sense of a common American narrative. The "Republican Party" is an outlier in our history – ideologically extreme; contemptuous of social and economic policies that have sustained us for a century; unwilling to compromise; dismissive of evidence, fact, and science; dismissive of the legitimacy of any viewpoint except their own. America needs to face the simple, frightening fact that the Republican Party is a clear and present danger to our Constitutional Republic.

About child sex abuse:

THIS is the man who was just arrested for child sex crimes. Was he in drag reading in libraries? No.

Surprise, surprise, he was a YOUTH PASTOR. For a church. In Texas. But was he the only pastor in America arrested recently for this charge? No. Not even close.

On July 22, 2022, a jury found Chad Michael Rider, 49, of Anna, Texas guilty of three counts of sexually exploiting children.

Rider was sentenced by a U.S. District Judge on Wednesday to 60 years in prison.

Was he the only pastor arrested and sentenced for child sex abuse? Hardly. In the past two weeks, two more pastors IN THE SAME TEXAS COUNTY were arrested on similar charges.
