Trump administration attacks Christians praying in the Capitol
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2025/04/trump-administration-attacks-christians.htmlSo much for making a big deal out of fighting against an anti-Christian bias in government, huh?
Reverend William Barber, pastor of Greanleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, North Carolina, and Reverend Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, who associates himself with a movement known as "New Monasticism," and promotes Christian peacemaking, were arrested for praying in the rotunda of the United States Capitol. They were charged with "crowding, obstructing and incommoding," considered "demonstrating" inside the Capitol building.
You know, the U.S. Capitol. The building where thousands of MAGA supporters, following Trump's instructions to incite an insurrection to stop the counting and certifying of electoral votes on January 6, 2021, broke out windows, set off smoke bombs, defecated on the floor and smeared the feces on the walls, urinated, and generally desecrated and disrespected the building, attacking police officers and aiming at attacking its occupants.
That Capitol.

There is an anti-Christian bias in the government. It's the whole Trump administration. It is completely opposed to the practice of any Christian value, especially in a government building.

Not MAGA/Nationalist Christian
Mainstream Christian is a heretic in TSF's eyes.

One way or another, the perfect one-word description of the trump regime. This country has been dragged into the commode, for the last 100 days. If there's a May Day protest near you, please try to attend.
