There has never been any shortage of hucksters and hypocrites exploiting religion for their own self-serving purposes, and ever since Donald Trump endorsed the $59.99 “God Bless the USA Bible,” there has been an increasing number of people accusing Bad Orange Man being both of those things and more. Few of Trump’s accusers, however, if any, have been as cynical and apparently devoid of any capacity for self-reflection as the Rev. Al Sharpton, a man who has been exploiting religion for his own self-serving purposes for decades.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Every time I read or hear of this foul creature, a person who committed actual fraud and was proven to have committed it, called *reverend,” I feel pukingly angry.
No human is worthy of reverence. None. One was, but He is no longer human, so no human is worthy.
But, when someone is as foul, as evil, as this dull-of-mind ugly-inside-and-out creature, the word is an insult to all of those people who have faithfully tried with ‘whole heart, soul and mind,’ to follow Christ. It is also an insult to Christ Himself.
This lying, false shepherd, supposedly baptized the mayor of NYC, another liar, on Friday. I could tell the ‘mayor,’ eric adams, it did him no good. Being dipped in the water by the likes of al not-so-sharp-ton is like being operated on by jeffery dahmer while calling himself a doctor.
Keith O says
Agreed with what you said about Sharpton, however I must disagree with the part about humans deserving reverence.
The word means “honor or respect felt or shown”.
This would include a lot of people, do you not respect your mother? and I can think of one man whom is revered by millions, that is the Dalai Lama.
If you don’t know who he is I suggest you check him out.
I had the opportunity to attend one of his talks in Brisbane a few years ago, there were several thousand people there, Buddhists, Catholic priests and nuns, Hindus and even some mudslime mullah’s. All there to listen to what one man had to say about peace and compassion It was the most peaceful large crowd I had ever witnessed.
The pope asks to speak TO world leaders, world leaders ask to speak WITH the Dalai Lama. Does that tell you something about him?
somehistory says
You can have your opinion of the word. I have another and no one that I know is worthy of “reverence.” Respect yes, but only to a degree.
In my opinion, not even the Dalai deserves “reverence.”
Synonyms
“adore
deify
glorify
venerate
worship
And, those are synonyms from Miriam Webster.

The rev. Sharlatan gets a pass because he is a leftist -communist and the other obvious reason.
Samer says
True Christians have become a danger to America, Europe, and to themselves as well. The reason for this is that these Christians contribute strongly to bringing their enemies (Muslim immigrants) to America and Europe, in implementation of Christ’s commandment: “Love your enemies.” What a naive commandment!!!
somehistory says
I consider your comment total nonsense. “True Christians” endanger no one.
Jesus Christ never said anything “naive” and anyone who believes that, doesn’t understand His Commandments.
those people who claim to be Christian, but act in opposition to Christ’s commands, are not “True Christians.” Jesus Himself, by His very words to His apostles, makes that point clear.

Do not put true Christians in the same category as Lutheran and Catholic social services. They are grifters to the enth degree and no Christian I know would think to bring over a bunch of people who are dangerous to our country, our children, and our dogs.
Keith O says
I have to agree totally, The Catholic church and it’s “priesthood” are little more than a pedophile ring on a worldwide scale with billions of stolen dollars to backup their criminal activities.
At least the Lutheran churches here in Australia came out of the investigation into child sexual abuse with a clean slate, unlike the Catholics and Anglicans.
Eric Taylor says
Does he know any?
Thomas Hulting says
The Bible DOES NOT embrace MOST of what Al Sharpton stands for!

“Biden slammed on social media after announcing Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday”
“”On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives,” a statement released by the White House read.
“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back,” it continued. “NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.”

A slap in the face to all believers but it is comforting to know that nothing escapes God and he will not be mocked.
somehistory says
God is allowing each one to show what is in his heart. biden is making every move to show how evil is his.
And, it’s True, “God is not to be mocked, but whatever a man is sowing, that he will also reap.”
Kristen says
I happen to own a first edition of the Lee Greenwood ‘God Bless the USA’ Bible that was published a few years ago. It’s beautiful—I absolutely love it! Sleazy, race-hustler Sharpton and his ilk can FO.
Rick Gordon says
1. I would never characterize Sharpton as a ‘holy man’.
2. I do not believe Sharpton is considered ‘noted’ outside of far left media in the U.S..
somehistory says
I don’t consider him “noted” and the idea of his being called “holy,”….nonsense. More importantly, looking at him with what Jesus told us, the way He told us, to look at the “fruits”….I’d say No One in heaven looks at him as holy.
Seeing him through the eyes of Scripture….he’s a false shepherd, a “wolf” in unholy clothing.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think Robert was clearly being facetious
Ron says
If he is a “Holy Man” I’m the fuckin pope! Go back to your gig with sleaze ball Rick James.
James Lincoln says
Every day, Al Sharpton sits around trying to figure out what to get angry about – and trot out the race card, TDS, etc.
Every single day.
