FACT. [View all]

Saw the disgusting video of the Nation's #1 pedophile wining and dining, while dancing girls twirled around, food and drink spalshed about, good times for the ultra rich!!
Meanwhile the most needy citizens were denied food as SNAP
benefits dried up at the exact same time.

And that reminds me of the Bible story of Lazarus.
The bible story is the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, found in Luke 16:19-31. It features a poor beggar named Lazarus who lay at a rich man's gate, full of sores, and longed to eat the scraps of food that fell from the rich man's table. The dogs would even come and lick his open sores.
---
The parable's key points:
The two men's lives: The rich man lived in luxury, while Lazarus suffered and was ignored.
After death: When both men died, Lazarus was carried by angels to Abraham's side, while the rich man went to a place of torment.
The rich man's plea: From hell, the rich man saw Lazarus in heaven and begged Abraham to send Lazarus to cool his tongue with water.
Abraham's response: Abraham refused, explaining that the rich man had received his good things in life while Lazarus had suffered, and now Lazarus was comforted. He also stated that a great chasm separated them.
The warning to his brothers: The rich man then asked Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his five brothers, but Abraham replied that if they did not listen to Moses and the prophets, they would not be convinced even if someone rose from the dead.
The message: The story illustrates that one's earthly status does not determine their afterlife and that those who neglect the poor will face consequences.

Personally speaking, I do not give a damn about your own beliefs, but everyone of you reading this knows the difference from right and wrong, or you wouldn't be here now. I have, in my 74 years never been more ashamed of my Government, and never been angrier at why this hasn't been stopped.
