"Politics is too negative. I don't like it. The news always makes me feel bad." We have all heard this. And I agree. But that is no reason to be lazy and give up. Are you going to ask the fascists not to hurt you?

It has been a thrilling journey, studying the origins of Christianity. I did not know I could actually discover anything. Truly, I thought I would not, but I would enjoy the journey. Yet, I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. #Jesus #Christianity #history #booksky

If people claiming to be law enforcement are killing people, we need serious investigations. If they are lying about it, we need to fire and imprison them.

I used to get angry about these evil pigs hating others and reveling in the suffering of the innocent, but now I realize that Trump will destroy them utterly and I feel satisfied. Trump is my retribution, too.

It's a dilemma. People who emphasize thinking usually miss the point of Christianity. Those who suppress thinking usually lose their way. One must get it without losing it. #amwriting #booksky #Jesus #Christianity

When Republicans say they hate Democrats, that is code for they love lawlessness, cruelty, racism, bigotry, ignorance, and selfishness. They won't even denounce pedophilia on their side. They love to hate. They torture children and murder children. You will see in the Epstein Files.

What does it mean that the story of Christianity is not what we have been told? We have to go deeper and find out what Christianity really means. #booksky #Jesus #Christianity #History #Spirituality

So, I guess I can't say that Republicans don't do anything. Trump proved that they do a lot of crap.

If John was the last canonical Gospel to be written, why did it omit nearly everything from the Synoptics? The Gospel of John was the first Gospel written, but it was kept secret as being too controversial. In the Gospel of John, Jesus claimed to be God. #Booksky #Jesus #Christianity #History

Republicans own it all. Presidency, administration, House, Senate, and SCOTUS. Republicans: "Blame it on Biden. Blame Democrats. Blame woke. But we will do the same." Just irresponsible.

So Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day. [2 Kings 17:23] So Judah went into exile out of its land. [2 Kings 25:21] And Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. [1 Chronicles 9:] God destroyed Israel for its sins. Israel is still a crime.
Graphic map in four stages shows Jewish settlers and Israel devouring Palestinian land.

Congress is not holding this Presidential administration and SCOTUS accountable because the voters are not holding Congress accountable.

Here's the thing. Peter, John, and James (brother of Jesus) changed the Gospel. But that is easy to say. Harder to prove. This book contains the proof. #booksky #Jesus #history #Christianity

I am not highly intelligent, but I am persistent in searching for answers. When I get it wrong, I admit it as fast as I can; so, I waste no time in bad feelings or self-doubt. I move on to find a better answer, efficiently. With time, I know I will learn, and that is the best feeling.

Now that who Trump is really has become obvious, do any MAGA want to apologize?

If Democrats win the midterms, racism is over. Republicans should know that if they don't want the corruption, the price is diversity, equity, and inclusion. Choose depravity and poverty or choose love. That is the choice.

Hate speech is not free. Nor should it be. Fascism is not politics. Racism is not democratic. Negating the Constitution is not policy. Criminal bosses are not leaders. Lies are not information. Voter suppression is not democracy. The USA no longer exists.

Michael LaFond @michaellafond.substack.com · 09/09/2026
Democrats, the problem is not messaging. The problem is that many voters are racist. They complain about "woke" because they are racist.

Jesus Christ did not return quickly, as he had promised. So, Peter, John, and James changed the Gospel. Not a small discovery. #booksky #history #Jesus #Christianity

Some books are free this weekend. Don't hurry. Careful reading pays off. For the religious texts, have a Bible next to you to check the references. You can't really be astounded without proof. #booksky #Free booksoncomputer.com

Here is the problem with their plan. Republicans are reactionary, by definition fearful. Liberals are by nature courageous. Potential violence at the polls will piss off Democrats and twice as many will vote than would have while Republicans stay home.

Do you see we are in crisis? A crisis is a point of decision. We are about to decide what we are and what we will be. This is the third revolution of the USA. We shall form a more perfect union.

Back to the same old fight with the far left. They think we can win everything we want with their 5%. Math and reality never enter their little minds. It's all heart and wants and purity. Never a thought to the disasters they have assisted by splitting the vote. Inability to learn.
