As a proud Jew and proud friend of @Ilhan, I don't need any of my Republican colleagues to defend me against anti-Semitism. Ilhan Omar should not have been removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

A young person at church blew my mind this week. Discussing 2nd Thess 3:10. "Anyone unwilling to work should not eat." Kids asked: Early church was largely poor, women, slaves, laborers, right? Me: Right. Him: Then the only people in the room "not working" were the rich. 👀

I'm no fashion expert, Ms Ground Zero protestor, but your 'never forgive' sign clashes with that crucifix you're wearing.
