    A bishop asked President Donald Trump to "have mercy" on "transgender children" who "fear for their lives" and illegal aliens during her message at the National Prayer Service.

    The comments from Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde come just after the newly inaugurated president signed a wide array of executive orders last night aimed at purging far-left transgender ideology from American institutions and securing the southern border.

    "In the name of our God, I ask you, to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now," Bishop Budde said during the National Prayer Service. "There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families who fear for their lives."

    "And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they, they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation," Budde went on to say to the president. "But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches ..."

    "I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands, to find compassion and welcome here," she went on to say.

    Budde's statements come after the Republican president signed an executive order proclaiming that there are only two genders and blasting "efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex." The order also mandates that executive agencies stop promoting gender ideology in their own operations and that federal funds are not given to grantees for the purpose of promoting gender ideology.

    Trump also signed a range of different executive orders pertaining to immigration, including one declaring a national emergency at the border, an order to curtail birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, and another designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. The president is also expected to begin a wave of illegal alien deportations in the coming days.

    Budde has a history of criticizing Trump and blasted him years ago after he used riot police to clear Black Lives Matter protestors out of the area surrounding the White House, even saying that his message was "antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that we as a church stand for."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?
  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.
  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.
  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.
  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.

Steed: I took a tour of the National Cathedral in February 2022, and saw where they extricated the Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson stain-glass windows, replacing them with masonry patches, and guess what: The docent was projectively proud of those removals.

That "bishop" is a leftwing political acticist, like the typical "social gospel" or "liberation theology" types. They have the trappings of religion but are more political activists, and the political speech of that "bishop" glaringly showed it.

That "National Cathedral" is full of stinking leftwing politics like when they took the obnoxious woke step of removing the stained glass window portraying Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. They are anti-southern bigots among other things.

Big Bob: Something I have just now noticed is that no one in the history of this publication speaks for "MAGA" more than yourself.

If you think MAGA is christian in nature, the reaction to the Bishop should confirm that what ever religion the MAGA party promotes, it's not Christianity.

Prayer and worship is integral in Christianity and offers a wholly divine purpose.

I suggest that the Episcopal hierarchy reconsider this divine directive, when administering a prayer service for the President of the United States of America, a Constitutional Republic.
