MAGA world collectively has been having a fit over DEI -- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. As I studied the Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership document, the sections I read were rife with anti-DEI language and plans to remove all vestiges of DEI from the federal government. Texas governor Greg Abbott, a MAGA fanboy who is …

Blessed are the merciful
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy," said Jesus of Nazareth in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:7. Apparently, the Predator in Chief, our nation's first felonious president, did not get that memo. Nor did his followers, including a so-called pastor named Lorenzo Sewell, who claimed that the Right Reverend Bishop …
Wolves in sheep’s clothing
Recently while doing research for the God Squad pod, I came across a video from Joel Webbon's YouTube channel where he was interviewing Stephen Wolfe. The interview was primarily about Wolfe's book The Case for Christian Nationalism which outlines a racist vision for taking over the American church and implementing a Christofascist government where blasphemy …
Epiphany
Matthew's gospel narrative tells of wise men from the East who went to Jerusalem seeking the the infant Jesus whom they had come to pay homage. In the Christian tradition, this event, the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem to pay homage to the Christ child and bestow gifts upon him, is seen as the …

Last week a caller named Rick called in to Tell Me Everything to take me, Desimber Rose, and host John Fugelsang to task.

Project 2025 and the war machine
The Project 2025 "Mandate for Leadership" document is 900 plus pages of Christofascist ideology that the Heritage Foundation's leadership and partners hope will become public policy if Donald Trump inexplicably wins another term as POTUS. It is replete with fear mongering, blatant lies, weaponization of the Bible to harm immigrants, BIPOC communities, and LGBTQ+ peoples. …
I am the enemy within
When Donald Trump first started his campaign for president back in 2015, he immediately showed the world who he was by using incendiary rhetoric which included racist dog whistles and horrific xenophobic bigotry that scapegoated immigrants. At the time, I was working on my thesis, which later became my first book, and I wrote in …
Dear Brian from Boston
Brian from Boston called into Tell Me Everything with John Fugelsang because he was riled up about the God Squad. According to Brian from Boston, we were not credible because, wait for it, our vocabulary was not to his liking. Brian started off by saying he was going to "cast his pearls before swine," meaning …
