Right-wing radio pastor Todd Friel rebuked former President Barack Obama’s anticipated presidential library opening up in Chicago, Illinois, later this month, as an “intentional slight to God.” “His new presidential center, I think, can be described as atheistic, anti-Christian, Marxist, and just another effort from Barack Obama to do what he’s been endeavoring to do now since he was nominated president, and that is to fundamentally change America,” he said.

The $850 million Obama Presidential Center campus, set to open on June 19, will be home to a Chicago public library branch as well as basketball courts, gardens, ball fields, a playground for children, and an eight-story museum, according to reports by NPR, which previewed the facility. [...] However, Friel told his listeners, “This building is a tangible symbol of Barack Obama’s horrific, his utterly destructive world views,” stating that it is an “intentional slight to God.” “You don’t walk into a building and decide what it means, the building decides what it wants you to feel about reality. Why? Because buildings preach, and the Obama Center is a really lousy sermon,” Friel raged on his show “Wretched” Tuesday.

[...] “Traditional architecture, meaning is given. Modernism, meaning is built. Deconstructivism, meaning is unstable,” Friel explained. “Why does Barack Obama want to communicate instability? It is because he doesn’t want the old order. He wants a new design, and, I’m sorry, it’s clearly a Marxist design, and it’s a Marxist playbook.”

Right-wing “pastor” Todd Friel used an episode of his Wretched show to whine about the 44th President Barack Obama (D)’s soon-to-be opened Presidential Library by calling it an “intentional slight to God.”

President Donald Trump said the Pentagon wants congressional Republicans to include anti-voting restrictions from the SAVE America Act in a multibillion-dollar defense bill.

That claim — which would be historically out of character for the Department of Defense (DOD) — represents Trump’s latest attempt to use the U.S. military to carry out his domestic partisan goals, including his longstanding desire to directly take control of elections. “I am hereby calling on Republicans in Congress to IMMEDIATELY advance and pass the forthcoming $350 Billion Reconciliation Bill (Recon 3.0) — which, at the request of our Great Department of War — will include THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as well,” Trump said in a social media post Wednesday night. “No games, no delays, and no weak compromises! Do this ASAP,” the president added. The DOD did not respond to Democracy Docket’s request to confirm whether, as Trump claimed, military leaders requested anti-voting measures be included in the reconciliation bill. 

However, reacting to Trump’s post, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed that the department “will make this happen!” Along with severely restricting mail voting, the SAVE America Act could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring them to show documentary proof of citizenship to register and to provide photo ID when they cast ballots. Since passing the House in February, the act has stalled in the Senate because of the 60-vote threshold required to get past the filibuster and other legislative rules in the chamber.

Donald Trump claims the military supports the SAVE America Act.

In the wake of new reports detailing behind-the-scenes efforts by the White House to public outrage over the Epstein files, former MAGA acolyte Marjorie Taylor Greene was asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for her reaction. [...] “Well, Tucker didn’t interview Ghislaine Maxwell, did he?” Greene replied, before adding that the excerpts showed how hard the Trump administration was working, “to find someone trustworthy to the American people to  try to extend this cover-up.” “Here in America we haven’t seen any justice for the victims, and that’s because look who’s in charge,” Greene continued. “They’re not being prosecuted. They’re not being held accountable, and I think that comes from the top.”

It’s worth noting that “from the top” can really mean only one of two things: either Trump is controlling it himself, or he’s being manipulated by someone wielding even greater power behind the scenes. Either way, Greene effectively backed the MAGA bus over him.

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene went on CNN’s The Source Wednesday to state the truth that the Epstein Files coverup came from the top of the Trump White House.

Saying they saw no reason to limit any potential agricultural use of the flammable combination of gelling agents and gasoline, officials at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved napalm as a pesticide Friday. “Following a thorough review, the EPA has found that napalm, with its ability to burn at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, is highly effective for both weed management and pest control,” said Administrator Lee Zeldin, who sought to assure the public that the highly incendiary liquid, which removes unwanted insects, fungus, rodents, raccoons, and deer with the press of a flamethrower trigger, posed no threat to human health whatsoever.
