A man at our town hall asked if love was too weak for this moment.
I told him: “My faith teaches me that love is the strongest force in the universe. A new kind of politics is possible.”
And then it was proven in real time…

NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr.
Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway.
“He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

Stephen Colbert: “I was told, in some uncertain terms, that not only could I not have [Texas state rep. James Talarico] on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this… Let’s talk about this.”
He calls out FCC chairman Brendan Carr and CBS for bending to the administration before announcing the entire interview is posted on YouTube.

Shutting down Colbert’s interview with Jim Talarico was so stupid. These guys have no restraint or understanding that their actions have consequences. More people are going to watch, and Talarico is going to raise so much money that it’ll put him in a better position to win that Senate race in Texas. Really, really stupid.

Presumably lots of people who don't yet know who Talarico may want to know who the government didn't want them to see, similar to government banning a book.
Her term ends in July. Ptetty good guess that Trump does not re-nominate her.

This is what the Trump admin didn't want you to hear from this guy
“There is a point to this craziness, they want us talking about furries and bathrooms so we don’t realize that they are picking our pockets, that they are closing our schools.
They are gutting our healthcare and they are raising taxes on all of us, while they cut taxes for their billionaire donors. The culture wars are a smoke screen because the real fight in this country is not left vs right, it’s top vs bottom!”

For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.
Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.
Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

While I hate all things MAGA and Christian natioalism, I feel the same about Talarico.
Take a look at the website for his small dying church. The first thing you see is we are alphabet people. Second we love killing babies.

Are these people even Christian?

Dang did you even watch it anything he said ? Talarico nailed your position dead to rights EXACTLY
Talarico: "the religious right" has made an idol of political power while spending the last half-century convincing "a lot of our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage; two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible, two issues that Jesus never talked about."
You just kinda proved his entire Point

and question if Hegseth is actually Christian
Below are the main areas of concern, with direct citations.

and question if Hegseth is actually Christian
Controversial Teachings of Hegseth’s Church (CREC)
Pete Hegseth attends Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship, a congregation in the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC). Reporting from AP, PBS, The Independent, and others documents several teachings or positions that have generated controversy.Below are the main areas of concern, with direct citations.
1. Patriarchy & Restricting Women’s Roles
- CREC and its prominent pastor Doug Wilson explicitly teach complementarianism, meaning men and women have separate God‑given roles, with men as leaders in church and home. [pbs.org]
- Women cannot hold leadership roles in CREC churches and married women are expected to submit to their husbands. [apnews.com]
- Doug Wilson publicly stated that the 19th Amendment (women’s right to vote) was a “bad idea”, preferring a system where only heads of households—typically men—vote in church governance. [pbs.org]
2. Support for Christian Nationalism & Theocracy
- Doug Wilson, whose teaching Hegseth “appreciates,” advocates for nations—including the U.S.—to become Christian‑run theocracies rooted in biblical law. [independent.co.uk]
- CREC churches embrace a worldview where religion and politics should not be separate, part of a broader Christian Reconstructionist ideology. [theconversation.com]
3. Biblical Law Should Govern the U.S.
- CREC teachings include the belief that biblical law should become the law of the United States, aligned with Christian Reconstructionism. [patheos.com]
- Replacing secular government systems with biblical rule
- Rejecting modern views on equality and pluralism
4. LGBTQ+ People Should Be Criminalized
According to reporting on Hegseth’s Tennessee CREC church:- Being LGBTQ+ should be considered a crime under biblical law. [patheos.com]
5. Non‑Christians Should Not Hold Leadership Positions
- CREC teachings also include that non‑Christians should not be allowed in leadership positions—civil or otherwise. [patheos.com]
6. Strong Hierarchy: Men Should Have More Rights Than Women
The Patheos analysis of Hegseth’s church outlines the belief that:- Men should have more rights than women and be in charge both inside and outside the home. [patheos.com]
7. Charges of Misogyny and Past Statements by CREC Leadership
- Wilson and CREC leadership have been widely criticized for misogynistic views, with some sermons and publications referenced as examples. [bing.com]
- Reporting consistently highlights Wilson’s hard‑line theology and “embrace of patriarchy.” [apnews.com]
8. Resistance to Racial Diversity & Secular Society
The Patheos breakdown lists additional positions of Hegseth’s church community:- Hostility toward racial diversity initiatives, secular law, and pluralistic society.
- Alignment with movements inspired by the medieval Crusades, with modern “Christian warrior” framing.

They make killing babies a major issue by pronouncing it on thier front page. How is that different than my belief?
You wasted your time printing all of that. I know he isn't, nor is probably anyone connected to Trump.

I don't know? you didn't talk about your belief?? You said you hate maga and Christian nationalism and felt the same about Talarico (Hate)
Then linked a church website and brought up that Talarico's church support Gay people and Abortions
and then questioned their Christianity.....presumably for supporting Gay People and abortions
I pointed out that Talarico's position is : He claims Over the last 50 years the Religious Right has use their political power to convince Christians that the MOST IMPORTANT Christian topics are Abortion and Homosexuality Which aren't mentioned in the Bible and Jesus never spoke of.
You looked at their website and the first thing you question their Christianity based on their views of Homosexuality and Abortion.
I have zero clue what your belief is, but I know you 100% just did the exact thing that Talarico was pointing out. You connected that if they support gay people and abortions....then they aren't Christian....
They had a Buddhist preach from their pulpit. That's why I had a problem with it.
What is your specific issue with that?
Also, I’m confused. Are you saying you DON’T take issue with reproductive rights and LGBTQ?
