"Those of you who are continuing to support this 'nationalism' that Trump is bragging about...you have a short time left to feel so emboldened in the spotlight. Soon, that spotlight won't feel so emboldening to you...Your unAmerican, dying white tribalism and fear-mongering is the ONLY DIVISIVENESS going on."
"Both the immoral Trump supporters with their 'dog whistle' race baiting, looking the other way to all the obvious criminal corruption of Donald Trump and his dutiful treasonous partnership efforts with Vladimir Putin, along with their hate for Mexican and Muslim immigrants that inexcusably can be seen to widely appeal to a hypocritical Christian evangelical base...And the other side of the spectrum, as I mentioned above, with what can often be described as a bizarre 'conformity of celebration' around recreational drug use and abortion on demand by Liberals who think that 'freedom' and 'liberty' means advocating for the doing of anything and everything that just feels good, without teaching healthy values and responsibility to young people..."
"...love doesn't require a sick human or animal 'blood sacrifice atonement'. How did so many people just accept such a sick 'gas lighting' story as the story of Abraham in the Old Testament, trying to 'sacrifice' his son Isaac on an altar, all to satisfy a sick God who needed a human or animal blood lust to be satisfied?? The answer of course is partly because CHILDREN have been and continue to be routinely taught this story by Jews and Christians in Sunday School for centuries. If you tried to teach such sick things to a fully grown adult, they'd laugh you out of the room for the 5150 whack job you clearly would be."
"Words almost can't be found to describe the degree of gas lighting we are witnessing. If you still aren't yet familiar with the term 'gas lighting', it's high time you were educated: It's basically someone lying so much about something to people, mainly those in their supportive base, that those supporters decide to believe those lies despite the obvious facts and truth...Despite what they can see is actually happening in front of their very eyes to the contrary. This becomes a very sick 'group think' danger to the rest of the country. The best example is Hans Christian Andersen's age old story of "The Emperor's New Clothes..."
"Understand this...The fundamental foundation that makes any country "GREAT" is first and foremost the measure of the GOODNESS and BENEVOLENCE of its people! Trump's denigrating of Bush's 'thousand points of light' context in that regard is exhibit A of his and his followers' utter contempt for that truth. It is exhibit A of why they, including so many in law enforcement, chose to call him the 'law enforcement candidate', even having been made aware of his deep connections with organized crime."
"The following is Connie Bryan's unofficial transcript of part of the recent U.S. Senate hearing, questioning Inspector General Michael Horowitz about his report into whether there was bias in the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton private email investigation...While it may not be exactly 'verbatim', it reflects the overall 'gyst' of the proceedings in Connie's opinion...In traditional Saturday Night Live style, picture Connie Bryan in the role of Senator Amy Klobuchar, Will Ferrell as IG Inspector Horowitz, and Alec Baldwin as the senior Senate Hearing Moderator/Chairperson)"
"We have a very ugly and selfish, elitist culture in America growing like a tumor by the day, as evidenced by both the growing drug culture as well as the mass ignorance that is responsible for perverting the highest office of our country with the disgraceful likes of Donald Trump...and this having been done largely by those who claim to be following 'God's will'...It is obvious that the majority have lost sight of what has real value and real meaning, in pursuit of selfish, elitist and material obsessions, all while putting on a daily facade of being 'Catholics' or 'Evangelicals' or 'Jews' or 'Muslims' or 'Mormons', etc. etc. etc...But understanding the most important example of the "Yin and Yang" is what keeps the rest of us focused on bringing healing to this sick culture that needs that healing so bad right now."
"It's hard to find strong enough descriptive terms for the level of dishonesty and hypocrisy we are witnessing...For the shameful behavior so many are taking part in trying to 'normalize'. I'm trying to think of a word stronger than even the term 'monumental'...All I keep coming up with is 'mind-blowing' or 'bewildering', like one person used during my interview with him about Trump for my local cable access TV show a few months back(see my website to watch the program on demand)...'MIND-BLOWING' dishonesty and hypocrisy revealing a disgracefully shameful underbelly of our country that fortunately has at least now been exposed, so that the rest of us can get to work on standing up to it, healing and changing it."
"If you want to know where healing and true happiness comes from, I have an answer for you...The key is simply this: UNLEARNING the religious lies fed to us, and being strong enough not to just conform to them because it is comfortable to do so, and because such beliefs may be popular with those around us...I can't believe how many people actively resist this basic truth when I try to share it with them. Healing is meant for you, in every way that you need it. But healing and happiness beyond your wildest dreams will NEVER come unless you remove the bigoted beliefs that you use to think of yourself as 'preferred' in the eyes of God...It will NEVER come until you see EVERYONE as forgiven...Until you see EVERYONE as an EQUAL PART OF GOD, despite your differences of faith, sexual preference, etc."
"It has never been more clear that NOW is the time to make some major organizational and philosophy changes from the top down in law enforcement here in our own community going forward...Those changes must begin with retraining those that want to be police officers and deputy sheriffs, that if you want to remain in this career, then your dutiful and respectful actions and demeanor will DAILY demonstrate that you understand the following axiom loud and clear: ALL Sacramento citizens are not just who you patrol...They ARE 'the police' and they have extended an honor to you to be their 'citizen ambassadors' in this career, on their behalf...The citizenry are who you WORK for. There is no more ‘blue line’. There is no more ‘us against them’ mentality."
