Julie Green is out with another off-the-wall prophecy and it's a doozy. As Conover has written before, "To say that MAGA Prophet Julie Green is a thoroughly ridiculous person is putting it mildly -- but apparently, she has some dedicated Q-inspired listeners who find her credible." JULIE GREEN: My children, you are about to see biblical-type plagues strike some of your enemies, even on their faces. Boils will be seen. See who was infected by them. See how they will try to explain it away. But know your enemies are very afraid, just as they were in Egypt. Watch as you have read in my word, and now you will see plagues in your time, to show you I am still the same God, and I still deliver my people from the enemy. Stay with the Lord. Green is channeling the movie The Ten Commandments and all her enemies are Yul Brynner.read more

Judging just by the look on Trump's face, he's as puzzled by this one as the rest of us. If I had to guess, I'd say it was Tyra Banks or maybe Chrissy Teigen. Or perhaps another porn star that Trump slept with while Melania was pregnant. Some very clever satire here, as that is Gary Petersen but is a reworked picture from another Trump artist, Al Manica.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claimed that it is legitimate to attempt to prosecute Barack Obama over his acts as President if Trump's bizarre immunity claim fails at the Supreme Court. Another day and another effort to defend Donald Trump from any and all prosecutions and criminal acts. Q: Attorney General Paxton, on the off chance that the Supreme Court comes back and does not say presidents are immune from official acts, do you think your administration would pursue charges against, say, Barack Obama for the drone strikes and murdering of three American citizens? Paxton: Yeah, so every state's different.

The evangelical Christian right MAGA movement has a hard time rationalizing their beliefs with actual scientific facts. Kirk brought on Randy Guliuzza, President of the Institute for Creation Research to "educate" his followers about actual dinosaurs and claim that some made it onto Noah's Ark. "How should we think about dinosaurs?" Kirk asked.

CNN's Donie O'Sullivan featured Rachel Powell, the infamous Bullhorn Lady in his hour-long documentary “MisinfoNation: The Trump Faithful." We've done a few posts on her at C&L as well. On October 17, 2023, Powell was sentenced to 57 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release. (The good Christian grandmother had used an ice pick to break into the Capitol building and later assaulted police officers.) Powell began serving her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Hazelton on January 9, 2024.
