The Alt Apostle

Published on Dec 23, 2017 by DarkMatter2525 [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLhtZqdkjshgq8TqwIjMdCQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/DarkMatter2525 , https://www.youtube.com/user/DarkMatter2525/videos ]

What if one of the apostles had the mentality of a modern conservative Christian? To any non-Christian conservatives out there: this isn't really about you. You can, at least, be consistent. This is about the hypocrisy of being both *Christian* and conservative. I don't have a problem with refusing to "turn the other cheek". I don't have a problem with "worldly possessions". Consider that 80% of Evangelicals voted for Donald Trump (and that Trump claims to be Christian). That is off the charts hypocrisy. These are the modern day Pharisees. Jesus mixes with Trump like water with oil.

Check out my collab with Logicked. I really enjoyed it:

Stoking Fears, Trump Defied Bureaucracy to Advance Immigration Agenda

Facing Republican attacks, FBI’s deputy director plans to retire early next year - Andrew McCabe
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/facing-republican-attacks-fbis-deputy-director-plans-to-retire-early-next-year/2017/12/23/b4802b8c-e67a-11e7-a65d-1ac0fd7f097e_story.html

F.B.I. Director Wants to Move Forward, but the President Is Making His Job Harder
WASHINGTON — When President Trump tapped Christopher A. Wray to be his next F.B.I. director, it signaled a clear break from the tenure of James B. Comey, whom Mr. Trump had grown to distrust and eventually fired.
It seemed Mr. Trump would let his handpicked F.B.I. director do his work unimpeded, giving Mr. Wray some breathing room. “I know that he will again serve his country as a fierce guardian of the law and model of integrity,” the president said in June.
But nearly five months since Mr. Wray started the job, Mr. Trump has not made Mr. Wray’s life easier as he seeks to restore the public’s confidence in the country’s premier law enforcement agency — one that the president says is in “Tatters.”
Mr. Trump’s verbal assaults have put Mr. Wray and his leadership team in a difficult position. Mr. Wray is trying to move past his predecessor’s era and make sure there is not a whiff of politics at the F.B.I. He has promised the F.B.I.’s work would be based on the “facts, the law and the impartial pursuit of justice — period.”
Yet Mr. Trump and his allies in Congress are making that task much harder.
Current and former F.B.I. officials say Mr. Trump’s criticisms, and those of normally supportive Republican members of Congress, have damaged morale in some quarters of the bureau. Senior agents have expressed fear that if their names appear in the news media, they will be singled out for attack by politicians.

'Anyone can be attacked for partisan gain': Comey issues rare statement in defense of top FBI lawyer
Former FBI director James Comey publicly defended James Baker, a top lawyer at the FBI who was recently reassigned to a different role under FBI director Christopher Wray.
Comey said it was sad that "we are now at a point" when "anyone can be attacked for partisan gain."
It was the first time Comey weighed in on the FBI's activities since his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee in June, one month after he was fired.
Though it's normal practice for a new FBI director to bring in their own general counsel, some observers questioned the timing of Baker's reassignment, which comes as Republicans are pressuring the bureau to get rid of officials perceived as biased against President Donald Trump.

With few options, Israeli couples turn to rogue weddings
JERUSALEM (AP) — Rabbi Chuck Davidson is a criminal in the eyes of Israeli law. However, he wouldn’t be put behind bars for his crime in most countries. His offense: conducting rogue weddings in defiance of Israel’s Chief Rabbinate.
Even though Davidson belongs to the officially recognized Orthodox stream of Judaism, he is among a growing cohort of Jewish groups running afoul of the law by performing weddings without the rabbinate’s sanction. Critics like Davidson believe the rabbinate has grown too strict in its interpretation of religious law, making it unnecessarily difficult for Jewish couples to marry.
