1979: Televangelists "Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts both have yearly revenue that is expected to top $50 million and Bakker's PTL may surpass them."
2020: Falwell Jr. and Bakker promote Trump. Oral Roberts University alum Guillermo Maldonado hosts Evangelicals for Trump rally.

1/ There should be a more nuanced discussion about abortion. (a) Late-term abortion is morally wrong. (b) Republican pro-life efforts do not reduce the number of abortions but increase them(!) because they do not encourage access to contraceptives.
2/ Pro-life people say: "I cannot vote for anyone who permits late term abortion. Their moral judgment is deficient because late-term abortion is similar to infanticide."
3/ But, there is a some consensus about late-term abortion. (Third trimester abortion would be: 28-40 weeks). 43 of 50 states ban abortion between 13-25 weeks. Only 1.3% of abortions occur after 21 weeks.

On nepotism: Family businesses have been standard practice throughout human history. The family farm or trade was passed down. But if you run a nonprofit or are in government, you have a heightened moral obligation to demonstrate frugal stewardship for the cause over your family.
Evangelicals for Trump: A family business.
"Jerry Falwell Jr. informed several university executives that his son, Trey Falwell, was 'starting a new company to do the management' of properties owned by the school, including the shopping center."
Evangelicals for Trump: A family business.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association now "exists to support and extend the evangelistic calling and ministry of Franklin Graham." Franklin employs all four of his children at BGEA and/or Samaritan's Purse.

@atrupar - The "respected" evangelical leaders who flatter Trump are led by the charlatan Paula White-Cain.

New report. Everyone interested in #Israel should read it.

@amnesty @AmnestyUK found to display atrocious levels of unacceptable bias.

1000,000s of posts logged. Dozens of Amnesty accounts followed. months of careful research.

link to report at bottom of this thread.
There is bias evident at every level of Amnesty. From social media activity to official campaigns.

Amnesty's receruitment policy is disgraceful and has destroyed them from within. They take on hard-core partisan activists and then pretend they are human rights campaigners.
There were numerous accounts found to have made unnacceptable posts - calling for Israeli Arabs not to vote - supporting terrorists - telling others to lie - giving advice to Hamas - calling for the end of Israel. There is nothing 'impartial' about any of it.

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
