Michael Marcavage, director of the
Christian evangelical organization Repent America, evoked apocalyptic4
themes alluding to Godâs final judgment of sinners when he stated,
âAlthough the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a
wicked city.â5 He also expressed the hope that â[f]rom the devastation may
a city full of righteousness emerge.â6 In a similar vein, Rev. John Hagee,
founder and senior pastor at the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas,
a nondenominational church with over eighteen thousand active members,
maintained that God caused Hurricane Katrina to wipe out New Orleans.7
I canât even make myself paste-in their⊠words. They invoke Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, et al. Itâs pretty much exactly what the Onebox is displaying. Ugh.
to these backward tribalists, AIDS was âgodâs punishment to homosexualsâ.
natural disaster as godâs supposed punishment to the unrighteous?
bullshit.
if Irma was divine retribution, then i apologize to everyone, for it was I, FloridaManJefe, whose debauchery and denial of that âgodâ, what brought that horrible storm on my beloved neighbors and my home.
if âgodâ hates these places, why does it seem that much of the affected parts of the path of destruction goes right through some of the most right-wing-christofascist areas of the country?
please donât @ me for some âbroad-brushâ swipe at the very part of the country that i, myself, live in. i am well aware that ânot all southernersâŠâ so save it.
I do not, and will not, EVER accept this shit.
I hear you.
I got a real dose of what youâre talking about when I was standing in line to vote in the Texas midterms (2022). Also in line: two Texas women who just couldnât shut up about divine retribution for Austinites (who have such a bad reputation with Texas MAGAs / christofascists). They were discussing when Texans froze to death during a brutal winter storm. The illogic and ghoulishness are beyond my comprehension.
I actually left the voting line in disgust.
I went back to vote about an hour later.
People who claim to know what divine retribution truly is will find out soon enough.
I will never believe as they believe.
And may I remember to stay human. No matter the cost. No one can take that from me.
May Mexico be showing us the way!

MEXICO CITY, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in as Mexicoâs first woman president on Tuesday, vowing to bolster womenâs rights and ensure that Latin Americaâs No. 2 economy remains a secure destination for international investment.
Sheinbaum, a 62-year-old scientist and former mayor of Mexico City, took the oath of office and received the presidential sash in a boisterous ceremony in Mexicoâs Congress, which marks the start of her six-year term.

(being an old nerd mâself, i really appreciate the âscientistâ aspect as well)
It occurred to me this morning (Iâm quick like that) that ârich & entitled asshole who hurls invective, some aimed at the rich & entitled, while pretending to be one of the hoi polloiâ could also describe Osama bin Laden. FWIW.
Also Donald Trump and JD Vance.
Oh sure, any number of them, e.g. Cruz, Hawley (not so much born w/ silver spoons - at least, not like Trump & Musk - but rather, saying what they say w/ their Ivy League degrees)
So, turns out the supplies Il Douche âtrucked inâ were actually provided by Samaritanâs Purse. He claims to have âpartneredâ with them, with no details of what that actually means. Itâs run by William Graham III, which makes it suspect in my mind, although it apparently has a pretty good rep.
Finally, we were taking a different route back to the campground and saw this display.
There were more signs but we were on a narrow shoulder of a 55 mph highway.
I live in the NYC tv market. Heâs not wrong, actually. The ads are pretty disgusting, from both sides. I canât even tell which ones are the Republicans and which are the Democrats, because theyâre all selling the same fucking message. âCRIME, OMG! THE BORDER, OMG!â Itâs pretty bad.
