New Trump task force vows to root out 'anti-Christian bias'

The end of the separation of State and Church. The US Christian population is 67% (224 million)

The poor persecuted Christians. Give me a break.

They never miss a chance to prosetylize

This man is the President because he knows the pain of loving and pains of rejection through divorces.

Yet this is the same person that produced literally millions of preventable deaths by dismantling aid that the US provided to people in need calling it a waste, that choose to stop clinical trials that would have produced effective cures and that champion cruelty and lack of empathy on social media.

This are the values he holds.

As long as they also root out bias against Muslims, Hindus, Rastafarians, Scientologists, Pastafarians, Jains, Buddhists, etc., then cool.

And the difference between Trump’s America and North Korea become harder and harder to discern.

"Despite a criminal conviction for hush money payments in a porn star scandal, two divorces and a string of sexual assault allegations, Trump has long made himself a champion of right-wing Christians."

Do you really have to go this low to find faults with President DJT. Here is the good news. The Almighty God is mostly interested with people's souls not the outward man/ woman. This man is the President because he knows the pain of loving and pains of rejection through divorces. He knows the pains of being wrongly accused so he knows how persecution works better than any one else. Why is this important? Because that's how we treat the Almighty God every day!

BTW, this is why people hate christians.

Religions should not be forced on anyone and should not be part of any public institution receiving public money. They already have the Ten Commandments in many public schools.

The Supreme Court has previously ruled against mandatory display of the Ten Commandments in schools, citing the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

"Yet this is the same person that produced literally millions of preventable deaths by dismantling aid that the US provided to people in need calling it a waste, that choose to stop clinical trials that would have produced effective cures and that champion cruelty and lack of empathy on social media.

This are the values he holds."

But for how long should the US taxpayers shoulder the problems of the whole world? Yes that was a good and noble thing to do after the second world war which left many nations weaken economically but that is not the case today. And don't forget the so called aid is very much attached to far left liberal causes, rather than help it just enslaves peoples minds.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi hosted the opening meeting of an "anti-Christian bias" task force Tuesday, as the government pressed federal workers to inform on work colleagues engaging in discriminatory behavior.

Fascism, pure and simple...remember Hitler started off by demonizing the Jews...

Although the United States has the world's largest Christian population, President Donald Trump -- who counts evangelicals among his most fervent supporters -- deemed it necessary to sign an Executive Order creating the task force to counter "persecution" of the faithful.

And Trump keeps his promises to the evangelicals - just look at that promise to "protect the unborn"....

Despite a criminal conviction for hush money payments in a porn star scandal, two divorces and a string of sexual assault allegations, Trump has long made himself a champion of right-wing Christians.

Right-wing Christians = Christians In Name Only...

His cabinet contains several members with links to Christian nationalists, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

And that most pious MAGA-denizen, Pastor Mike Pence....oh, wait...

As long as they also root out bias against Muslims, Hindus, Rastafarians, Scientologists, Pastafarians, Jains, Buddhists, etc., then cool.

I find that when talking about rooting out discrimination, the religious are usually talking about privilege for their particular brand.

I remember certain members of the Christian faith in the US believing they suffer discrimination but thought calling Obama a closet Muslim was a good attack strategy. Strange one.

*But for how long should the US taxpayers shoulder the problems of the whole world?

Your version of the Good Samaritan must be a laugh riot.

But for how long should the US taxpayers shoulder the problems of the whole world?

Only as long as it was considered a Christian value, charity is now the same as waste, even when it literally saved millions of lives. You are not refuting the fact that economic profit became a priority over helping people in need, you are just saying this happened with other words.

but that is not the case today. 

Millions of people that will die because of the good man decisions say it is the case.

And don't forget the so called aid is very much attached to far left liberal causes

Yes, because charity, support and care for those in need became the antithesis of conservative thinking in the US, so by definition they are leftists causes.

Still very unchristian to stop the help. After all Christ was in no way conservative.

(And the clinical trials for effective treatments that will no longer be available, or only at exorbitant prices, as intended probably).

Despite a criminal conviction for hush money payments in a porn star scandal, two divorces and a string of sexual assault allegations, Trump has long made himself a champion of right-wing Christians.

Worst of all, those people know about this and they do not care contrarily of what their god told them to do.

Jesus was the first true socialist.

Despite a criminal conviction for hush money payments in a porn star scandal, two divorces and a string of sexual assault allegations, Trump has long made himself a champion of right-wing Christians.

I'd change "Despite" to "As a direct result of", but yeah.

New Trump task force vows to root out 'anti-Christian bias'

"Trump administration decides to waste taxpayer money on a moronic dog-whistle for Fox viewers".

How many American churches and pastors are operating to scam in the money.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other organizations like AARP Fraud Watch Network have identified clergy scams as part of larger impostor fraud, which caused nearly $1.2 billion in losses in 2020. 

 Fraud in churches is a multibillion-dollar problem.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is worth $300 billion.

Congregations in the US collect around $74.5 billion each year.

Wallace,

"Jesus was the first true socialist."

Jesus Christ primarily multiplied what the people already had. Otherwise God was/ is still fair and just at least to provide something however small. It might be in talent or something else.

"Only as long as it was considered a Christian value, charity is now the same as waste, even when it literally saved millions of lives. You are not refuting the fact that economic profit became a priority over helping people in need, you are just saying this happened with other words."

It's the job of every government to provide the essential needs for its people including food and security. A begging bowl should not be part of those essentials.

Yet this is the same person that produced literally millions of preventable deaths

What literally millions of preventable deaths do you speak of?

It's the job of every government to provide the essential needs for its people including food and security. A begging bowl should not be part of those essentials.

Only for those that wanted to present themselves as Christian, that traditionally see this as a duty. Not anymore since profits and open cruelty on media are the new Christian values that people are supposed to praise and defend as core parts of their religious identity, at least in the US.

Again, you are not refuting the lack of Christian values of Trump, you are just saying that it is fine not to have Christian values anymore because he says so.

What literally millions of preventable deaths do you speak of?

Anyway, it's not the religion, it's the person.

Many moons ago I got to know (in a work context) two guys who were openly practicing Christians and who didn't hide the fact.

One was a shining example of his faith: he was kind, patient, tolerant, honest, never lost his temper, and was a pleasure to do business with.

The other was short-tempered, abusive, arrogant, looked down upon people who weren't Christians, and was despised by everyone who had the misfortune to work with him.

Go figure.

Good!

Maybe the first "anti-Christian" investigation should focus on the Trump administration's demonization of fellow Catholic and Christian immigrants fleeing religious persecution in their home countries...

These fellow Christians are fleeing God-less communist and authoritarian regimes that persecute them for their religion...

And what is the Trump administration doing to help these Christians in need? Well, it's deporting them and their families back to these God-less regimes to face further discrimination and harm...

Do you think Jesus would approve of slandering fellow Christians by saying; "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs"?

Jesus was the first true socialist

He was certainly an inspiration for some on the left. He was very extreme in his ideas of wealth distribution. Give everything you have to the poor. Very few have lived up to that.

Certainly not the churches raking in billions and paying no tax.

Not to downplay his better ideas, but it’s worth remembering that his ideas weren’t particularly original. Still an influential figure though.

My tax dollars are being spent on this crap? Give me a break.

Anti Christian bias should be eliminated just as other bias should.

Tokyo Guy - BTW, this is why people hate christians.

Why? People/ you hate Christians because of what ( maybe )one of them wrote on this forum? That would be very biased, my man.

Two Christians , One was a shining example of his faith: he was kind, patient, tolerant, honest, never lost his temper, and was a pleasure to do business with.

The other was short-tempered, abusive, arrogant, looked down upon people who weren't Christians, and was despised by everyone who had the misfortune to work with him.

Go figure.

Great story which I,m sure could be applied to all other faiths and atheists as well. Human nature. Go figure.

One wonders if, in the opinions of this new task force, adhering to a faith other than christianity or not being religious at all is labeled as, cough cough, "anti-christian bias"?

Her hand gesture looks like she's calling a dog.

Is Trump just pushing his Bible? (Made in China).

When you wrote that Trump "produced literally millions of preventable deaths", it gives the impression that those deaths have already occurred. But according to your source, a model shows that 25 million could die in the next 15 years if all USAID programmes are cut. Yet some of the cut USAID funds have been restored.

Only as long as it was considered a Christian value, charity is now the same as waste, even when it literally saved millions of lives.

They have identified a massive amount of waste and corruption within USAID. Yet we somehow never read about that here. Instead, all we get are the none stop emotional stories focusing on the legit USAID programmes. Christian values does not include wasting hard-working tax payer's money to further some secret agenda.

As long as they also root out bias against Muslims, Hindus, Rastafarians, Scientologists, Pastafarians, Jains, Buddhists, etc., then cool.

It's a good point. Bias against a religion should not be in the government. Nor should bias toward any religion.

It's a good point. Bias against a religion should not be in the government. Nor should bias toward any religion

Okay.

hen you wrote that Trump "produced literally millions of preventable deaths", it gives the impression that those deaths have already occurred.

There is no longer a realistic way to prevent those deaths, the sudden and complete way the aid was stopped means that even if full reverse was implemented right now (not possible) only a fraction of the the victims would be saved. He already produced those deaths, and anybody with any kind of experience in the field would know it.

Yet some of the cut USAID funds have been restored.

Not even barely enough to prevent millions of deaths as a direct consequence of the cuts.

They have identified a massive amount of waste and corruption within USAID. 

Mostly the aid itself, support for undesirable people (Palestinians, Africans, etc.) is now considered waste and the people aiming to facilitate that help are now corrupt in the eyes of the US government. Conservative Americans go to great lengths to justify these deaths as reasonable, necessary for the US prosperity. So much that protesting those deaths (like in the case of Palestine) is now motive to being expelled out of the country.

Christian values does not include wasting hard-working tax payer's money to further some secret agenda.

It does for what traditionally was considered Christian values, even if the accusations of corruption were true (where are the people being arrested for it?) that in no way justifies stopping the aid as a solution. Literally millions of deaths will happen because of the suspension of the aid and the way it was done (making impossible to anybody else to intervene on time to prevent even a fraction) making it obvious the actual aid is the one that it is now considered a waste. This is considered a Christian value only on the US.

I'd say the disgusting fascists in the administration are pretty un-Christian. Can we root them out?

A "right" in law can be a legal entitlement or privilege, while "wrong" often denotes an unlawful or illegal action that violates someone's rights or violates a legal duty. 

The difference between right and wrong?

First is to have faith to believe and trust in a "divine being," without needing absolute proof.

"Religious right" some would suggest a contradiction in terms.

Govt. needs to root out ALL bias, why DEI is so toxic to Govt. and culture in general.

As Meritocracy and color blindness is the law of the land, per SCOTUS, Harvard ruling in 2023.

“anti-Christian bias”.

Give me a break. All the religious Christian zealots love to play the victim.

Give it a rest already.

Jesus was the first true socialist.

Well, not exactly. Many ancient peoples practiced it. The Hebrews did. All Native American nations did. There just wasn't a name for it until sometime in the 19th century or so.

'Anti-Christian', huh?

Lemme see.

trump steals. He stole money for his vanity projects, most of what thankfully were never completed.

He betrays his country through violence and succumbing to other evil dictators. Bearing false witness to his neighbors (lying). He doesn't love his neighbor as himself. He has openly used the 'G.D.' word in his rallies and proclaimed himself to be the 'Chosen One' (Messiah). That's taking the LORD's Name in vain. Blasphemous posing in front of temples, desecration.

Incestuous lust and activity. Openly expressing gross perverse lust ('the younger the better'). Cheating on his third wife who is a porn star. Sick sexual desires and thoughts expressed in his words and actions.

*SO** *many offenses and crimes against all the laws of man and God. And he proclaims himself to be the Messiah. Now this. The Bible, Quran, etc. warns about these charlatans and phonies.

Mister Rogers says, 'Can you say, "ANTICHRIST"?'.

This at last could be seen as anti semitic

Jews dont recognise Christ . He is an Idol, meant to be destroyed , like the Golden Calf.

Where will this leave Trump ?

All bias is illegal and anyone who argues against bias is simply uninformed and illogical. S Constitution protects all citizens equally, so ensuring religious groups receive equal protection goes without saying, just ask SCOTUS!

HopeSpringsEternalToday 01:10 pm JST

All bias is illegal

Well, except Trumps bias against inclusive policies right, That bias is ok?

President has to respond to national security threats from abroad, that's a FAR different matter than internally regarding citizens. Using Enemies Alien Act, Trump Admin LEGALLY targeting non-citizens for deportation.

It's called Common Sense.

Non-citizens, especially high-risk types associated with gangs, prior criminal behavior and citizens from abroad that present high risk, are NOT afforded any protections under the US Constitution.

DJT elected to Make America Safe Again, prioritizing US Citizens, including against illegal Bias from within.

So is discrimination okay against Muslims okay given your opinion of what they believe?

Discrimination against an ideology of killing people who don't want to join your cult? Yes, it's definitely okay to discriminate against them.

wallaceToday  11:47 am JST

Jesus was the first true socialist

Yes, in a sense, you are right.

Any form of discrimination or bias against ANY US citizens is NOT OK, that's the DJT philosophy, that's simply adhering to the US Constitution and SCOTUS.

Non-US citizens are afforded No such protections, especially illegal aliens designated as terrorists. Hopefully, people can make the distinction, as countries have borders and immigration laws for good reason.

XCAndthebandToday  12:55 pm JST

Give me a break. All the religious Christian zealots love to play the victim.

"All the religious Christian zealots"? That sounds very anti Christian bias like.

Because if bias against ANY one group of citizens is deemed "OK", a slippery slope and eventually you'll suffer the same fate. That's beauty of US Constitution, but it's not for non-citizens, who are subject to conditions

It's obvious that most US media and liberal elites have a bias against Christians. At the same time some Christians have a bias against them. This is apparent even on this forum. What is the solution to this? Love, serve and forgive one another, as Jesus taught.

HopeSpringsEternal

Govt. needs to root out ALL bias, why DEI is so toxic to Govt. and culture in general.

Actually DEI is a mechanism to remove bias.

I would say that anti-Christian bias pales in comparison to anti-Muslim bias. Maybe they should start there.

Those MAGA fascist disguised as "Christian victims"..

What a bunch of losers..

Bad!

Who said repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth? That’s usually attributed to Joseph Goebbels, so, while you’re in “good” company, you’re still wrong.

The following decision was largely based on the 1903 Japanese Immigrant Case. Your man should be familiar with it since, in 2017 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked an attempt by President Donald J. Trump to ban immigration from certain Muslim-majority countries. See above article about his administration trying to root out religious discrimination and have a laugh.

3  The Court reasoned that aliens physically present in the United States, regardless of their legal status, are recognized as  persons  guaranteed due process of law by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. 4  Thus, the Court determined,  [e]ven one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection. 5 Accordingly, notwithstanding Congress’s indisputably broad power to regulate immigration, fundamental due process requirements notably constrained that power with respect to aliens within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. 6*

Absolute irredeemable idiocy. Among those who perpetuate this bs and those who fall for it.

It's obvious that most US media and liberal elites have a bias against Christians. At the same time some Christians have a bias against them. This is apparent even on this forum.

I love how people just latch onto whatever supposedly derogatory names get thrown out there, such as “liberal elites”, without seeming to give a thought to the fact that Trump was born on third base, has a cabinet and advisory positions filled with Ivy League graduates and is surrounded by kowtowing billionaires. And yet, the liberals are the elites? Thanks for the laugh.

What is the solution to this? Love, serve and forgive one another, as Jesus taught.

Maybe try practicing what you preach.

Bias against a religion should not be in the government. Nor should bias towardany religion.

Perhaps for religious beliefs, but what about religious practices? Can I refuse to hire someone as a bus driver because he refuses to drive on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday? What should a doctor do if a parent refuses to allow a blood transfusion for their child?

Surely everyone on JT can agree that BIAS against ANY Citizen of the US or any other country, within framework of the laws of the land, is an unwelcome and hopefully illegal development that needs to be stopped ASAP.

Meritocracy works, judge people based on the content of their character and their contributions to society!

Doesn't matter what one's religion is if they are illegal aliens, thus ignoring immigrations laws. Such individuals, even if Mother Teressa, are in violation of immigration laws, and have no legal protections against "Bias" etc.

Citizens receive legal protections in all Democratic countries, including due process, not afforded to illegal aliens, no matter their religion, past accomplishments etc.

Meritocracy works

Fair point.

Trump employed his kids and family first time around and now brings in Fox News hosts with anger and booze problems. RFK is a conspiracy theorist slightly more intelligent than a social media spammer but has had half his brain eaten by a worm.

Meritocracy?

Illegal aliens have a right to due process. The Supreme Court just said so.

Which is why we have DEI.

Matthew 25:35-37

‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Its difficult to think of a philosophy more antithetical to the word of Christ than the MAGA demonization of the poor, the needy and the hungry.

HopeSpringsEternal

Citizens receive legal protections in all Democratic countries, including due process, not afforded to illegal aliens, no matter their religion, past accomplishments etc.

In the US, due process is afforded to all living in the US, including illegal aliens.

Good.

He can start with the White House.

Citizens receive legal protections in all Democratic countries, including due process, not afforded to illegal aliens, no matter their religion, past accomplishments etc.

Due process must be granted to everybody, else it is not granted to anybody.

If the first thing the authority do is accuse someone of being part of the group that has no right to due process then conviction is automatic, even for people that actually are not part of that group. After all the only way for the person to prove he is not part of that group depends on due process.
