She doesn't need evidence because she's blond and a Christian. That's why Trump needs to return so that these things matter again.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

No evidence, no problem
Quote:Biden impeachment inquiry authorized by House Republicans, despite lack of evidence
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to formally authorize its ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, as Republicans unite behind the effort even though they have yet to find evidence of wrongdoing by the Democrat.

Republican Lauren Boebert says she wants ‘biblical citizenship training’ in public schools

Quote:Boebert’s chilling comments were made on an episode of FlashPoint, a Christian news show which airs on the Victory Channel, owned by the anti-LGBTQ+ televangelist Kenneth Copeland.
The Colorado Republican and gun rights activist, who has previously said that LGBTQ+ people should be banned from coming out before the age of 21, discussed the upcoming midterm elections and said Republicans must prove that they will “get America rolling again”.
She added: “Maybe we need to have some sort of legislation that requires… biblical citizenship training in our schools. And that’s how we get things turned around.”
I don't know about biblical citizenship training, but I really think Harry Potter should be required reading. They could do whole lessons about Harry Potter. I think that would be good.

You're forgetting that powerful lesson where Harry tricks Spock by using the force, and returns the ring to Narnia.

Trump just threw Barron, Ivanka, Junior, and Eric under the bus, since they are all children of immigrants, and thus their blood is poisoned
Quote:Trump repeats 'poisoning the blood' anti-immigrant remark
Donald Trump said on Saturday that undocumented immigrants were "poisoning the blood of our country," repeating language that has previously drawn criticism as xenophobic and echoing of Nazi rhetoric.
"They're poisoning the blood of our country," Trump told a rally in the city of Durham attended by several thousand supporters, adding that immigrants were coming to the U.S. from Asia and Africa in addition to South America. "All over the world they are pouring into our country."
Jason Stanley, a Yale professor and author of a book on fascism, said Trump's repeated use of that language was dangerous. He said Trump's words echoed the rhetoric of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, who warned against German blood being poisoned by Jews in his political treatise "Mein Kampf".
"He is now employing this vocabulary in repetition in rallies. Repeating dangerous speech increases its normalization and the practices it recommends," Stanley said. "This is very concerning talk for the safety of immigrants in the U.S."

No prob, they're not brown. Translating Trump-to-English, "immigrants" are by definition some shade of brown. "If you're white, you're welcome" is Trump's rule of thumb.
