Falling from grace….It may be as important for Evangelical Christians to excise the heretical charlatans from their leadership as it is for the GOP base to rid themselves of the echo-chamber. Certain evangelical leaders & echo-blabbers support unequivocally a leader so lacking in values, character, honesty & most any other personal traits which would command trust & respect, such unquestioned support for a moral degenerate defiles the principles we believe in & is a scourge on our great nation. I hate to be so blunt, but I guess during the campaign disparaging disabled people, women’s faces & bragging about grabbing women in the p***y was just hunky-dory with the vast majority of voters in a religious faith I’ll admit I’ve long been associated with (& increasingly embarrassed about). It’s time for evangelical Christians to denounce such immorality while calling out ex-faith leaders turned misguided political pundits, recognizable names we can now nominate to the evangelical Hall-of-Shame which has grown into a rather large list, highlighted by Franklin Graham, Tony Perkins, Ralph Reed, Jerry Falwell Jr, Robert Jeffress, James Dobson & Pat Robertson. We even have a local pastor here in the Cleveland area, Darrell Scott, who’s a total crackpot apparently possessed by something other than Christ’s love, grace & wisdom. And after today’s unhinged performance by Trump, there can be no more defending this guy!
Is it possible they’ve all been deceived through demonic spirits in the way they’re so willing to support & excuse evil? I wouldn’t know how else to explain all the preposterous/hypocritical claims they’ve made trying to give cover to this President’s indiscretions which are inexplicable & indefensible. And when the core of Trump’s base is a disjointed hodgepodge of white supremacists & white evangelicals, something is wrong in the company they keep, as if deceptive messaging has somehow infiltrated & diluted the church’s higher calling. The bigger damage that’s being done is in the way evangelicals are seen as tied in with radical politics, only serving to drive so many away from the faith. When these former evangelical leaders have so obviously shunned principles, values, ethics & integrity in possibly being given over to the dark side by crawling in bed with maybe the devil himself, they’re going to get burnt. It’s become apparent they lack the moral authority & should no longer speak on behalf of our religion. And as for the Trump alter they worship at, Trump is simply a despicable person which no man of God in good conscience should support. Conservatives need to turn to brand new faith leaders just like they need new conservative talk-show hosts. Maybe restructuring the old order as America hits rock bottom can somehow bring on revival from the ashes….

Views from the far-left….
We’d never expect Cubs fan & those of his ilk to believe these articles (I don’t even believe a lot of this stuff myself), but they should be exposed to it in helping take the edge off the hardcore echo-nonsense they buy into & even spread themselves. The lies & conspiracies keep circulating throughout the echo until everyone inside that bubble actually believe all that rubbish. So Daily Kos isn’t even as far left as the echo has gone to the far right, so this could provide precious medicine to help snap the radical right out of their spell. And we’d all better start realizing Trump has a personality fitting of a ruthless dictator if we don’t stop him!….

Economy section….
Much like the previous email a couple days ago, this first article below helps illustrate the daunting & entrenched economic challenges we’re facing to restore the once-great American middle class. Neither side is talking intelligently about finding real solutions. And September could be a policy disaster with a know-nothing President becoming increasingly unpopular with all his antics….
