Passage of Senate NDAA Brings Us One Step Closer to Showdown that will Decide MRFF’s Fate — Please Make Your Voice Heard!

Urgent. Help save MRFF. Please submit petition letter.

Urgent

Christian nationalist Rep. Mike Turner’s amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to SHUT MRFF DOWN by making it ILLEGAL for members of the military to even communicate with MRFF is now part of the GOP-led House’s version of the NDAA, WHICH HAS BEEN PASSED BY THE WHOLE HOUSE WITH TURNER’S DESPICABLE, VINDICTIVE, AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT STILL IN IT!!!

Last night, the Senate passed its version of the NDAA, which does not contain any language regarding MRFF. When Congress returns from its August recess, a conference committee made up of both House and Senate members will meet to reconcile the two bills. THIS IS WHERE TURNER’S AMENDMENT TO SHUT MRFF DOWN MUST BE REMOVED!!!

If Turner’s amendment is allowed to remain in the final, bicameral version of the NDAA, it will obliterate MRFF’s ability to protect and advocate on behalf of our service members facing religious discrimination, harassment, and aggressive proselytizing!

If you haven’t already, please take a minute to submit our petition letter opposing Turner’s amendment to your representative and senators.

    “Christian hating MRFF” the majority of whose members are Christians.

  3. Lalalala July 31, 2023 at 4:56 am

    Thats a laugh Tom. Pathetic Christians at best, might as well be atheists. Great year MRFF out the door and Brandon out the door soon enough too.

    Have you listened to what Trump talks about when he takes his fascist freak show on the road? What does he talk about? Does he talk about the new healthcare system he said he was going to put in place after he promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act? I mean, having a better healthcare system would be something to crow about, wouldn’t it?

    Does he talk about lowering prescription drug prices? Seems like I remember him saying, “who knew healthcare was so hard”? Well, everyone knew but you!

    Does he talk about the great infrastructure program he implemented?

    Does he talk about the 52 miles of border wall he built on the southern border that Mexico was going to pay for?

    Does he talk about lowering taxes for the average American?

    Does he talk about his Taliban negotiations that agreed to remove all US force by May of 21?

    Does he talk about his release of 5000 Taliban prisoners?

    Does he talk about wanting to meet with the Taliban at Camp David on the anniversary of 911?

    Does he talk about the 2 million jobs he lost while in office?

    Does he talk about the 600,000 lives lost during the COVID pandemic on his watch?

    Does he talk about all the great people he appointed to his cabinet that he later fired? There were over 21 A-Team departures in his first year of office! A-Team turnover outpaced his five predecessors by a large margin. “I only hire the best people!”

    The answer to all these questions is no. What does he talk about? He talks about Me, Me, Me! “Look what they’re doing to me”! He talks about retribution. For what? He talks about how “I’m doing this for you!” Doing what? Grifting? What have you done besides weaponize every department you could and grift from the American people? I wish, for comic relief, Joe Biden would announce that he’s going to bring his son Hunter into the the White House as a Senior Presidential Advisor! Republican heads would implode! The irony!

    Ever notice how there’s nothing of substance in his pitiful rallies? “Poor me. I’m the best President ever and they’re coming after me for ‘perfect’ phone calls. “I just need you to find me some votes down in Georgia and Arizona!” Or, send up fake electors and we’ll get Pence to keep me in power! “Im going to give you the foreign military assistance (Ukraine) Congress appropriated for you but first I need you to get some dirt on Biden! – capiche?” “Putin didn’t interfere in the election – I asked him, he said he didn’t!” “Covfefe!” “There has to be some form of punishment for women,” (regarding abortion). “Man, we could use a big fat dose of global warming!” “If she weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her!” “Kim Jong Un speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same!” “I tested positive toward negative, right?” “Why can’t we use nuclear weapons?” “He’s now President for life. No, he’s great. And look, he was able to do that. I think he’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day,” referring to Xi Jingping repealing his country’s term limit laws. “You can inject disinfectant!” “Take hydroxychloroquine!” “Put a light inside the body!” “Can we nuke hurricanes?” “I’m keeping these Top Secret documents! They might come in handy. Look, check out these Iran war plans! I could have unclassified these but I can’t now!”

    The hits of stupidity just keep on rolling from this colossal fascist loser.

    And they’re going to keep on rolling……..until he’s in jail for his crimes and grift against America. His base is shrinking and Republicans are scared to death he’s going to be their front runner! They’re hoping he gets put away! Course, they wouldn’t say shit if they had a mouthful! But if you believe Republicans, Joe Biden whooped his ass from his basement! And they know he’ll do it again!

    Christians who try to live the way Jesus told them to, and are opposed to phony Christians trying to use the power of government to push
    their religion on others are “Pathetic Christians at best, might as well be atheists” only in Lalalala’s authoritarian alternate universe.

  6. Lalalala July 31, 2023 at 4:56 pm

    Majority or America would rather elect a Turnip than Brandon. Youre gonna have to stuff a lot more ballot boxes next year.

    Its like voting for Mr. Magoo.

  7. Grey One Talks Sass August 1, 2023 at 2:49 am

    Lalalala states (without irony) “ Youre gonna have to stuff a lot more ballot boxes next year.”

    So I wonder if Lalalala, has proof of voter fraud?

    I ask because around sixty law suits were presented alleging the same thing (voter fraud) and they were all dismissed from lack of evidence. Figure at least one or two would have made it through the courts but nope. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

    And, this is the funny to me part, many of the lawyers pushing those cases are facing judiciary consequences now. It truly is the time of Finding Out.

    Benjamin Franklin asserted many times to fart proudly. As I see it Lalalala is nothing more than an embarrassment of light wind, a breeze better contained within.

    An Ode To Donald J. Trump – I truly wish him well – in his prison cell!

    Orange is his color,
    Worn like no other,
    It’ll match his spray-on tans.
    His golden hair, without a care, brushed with tiny hands.
    His fellow cell mates, very alive,
    Many like the Central Park Five!

    Lots of them black, all of them sober,
    Remember to bend yourself over.
    Three taps on the bars,
    A clarion call, meet at the courtyard wall,
    We’ll have ourselves a ball!

    Not for the country, not for the nation,
    You’ll get used to sphincter inflation.
    You might be sore for a day or more,
    But the pain will go away.
    With a smile on your face, disregarding race,
    You’ll look forward to another day!

    May Putin send you candy, that’ll come in handy,
    As you deal away your time,
    A few Russians as your cell mates?
    Communicate in mime.

    Xi might send a flower,
    To remind you have no power,
    And it’s he, not you, that’s doing well,
    While you sit there in your cell.
    Contemplating tariffs, Top Secrets, and lies,
    That led to your demise.

    And buddy Kim, upon a whim,
    A letter he does write.
    To former lover, without cover, one of considerable height.
    You couldn’t stop my nukes,
    Your advances met rebukes.
    You stroked my hair, caressed my arm,
    My staff sounded the alarm,
    I said, “Don’t worry, we’re in no hurry,”
    He’s in a penal farm!

    The MAGA base, oh what a race,
    Rabid as they be,
    Will huff and puff with withering voice,
    JFK JR their choice.
    He’s coming back you see.
    He’ll send minions across the river Styx,
    To liberate Vladimir Trump,
    And they’ll reign together, across the land,
    A land he created, a Dump!

    Try as he might, to grift through the night,
    24 hours a day.
    He sold his base in MAGA haste,
    And now he has to pay!

    No one visits, Melania remarried, not even dear old bikers,
    “It isn’t you,” they profess to say, they simply don’t like Rikers!

    “Lock Him Up!”

    GOP – Out The Door In 24!

    I hear the seventies song “Re-indicted,” by Peaches and Herb is making the charts again.

    “Re-indicted and it feels so good
    Re-indicted cause we understood
    A jumpsuit that will fit
    4XL is it
    We’re all just so excited ‘cause we hear he’s re-indicted, hey, hey”

    Off you go! Don’t worry about your attorneys. They’ll be in the next cell!

  10. ironmoped August 1, 2023 at 8:16 pm

    As much as I thought I would never do it, I just donated to the Trump Save America campaign (his legal defense fund).

    Yeah, I feel kind of sorry for him with all the legal bills. He’s had a bad week!

    So…….I put a penny in an envelope and mailed it to:

    Trump Save America JFC
    PO Box 13570
    Arlington, VA 22219

    Hey, if he gets 80 million people to send a penny in, that’s $800 grand! That would be about ten fill-ups for that 32 year old 757 he owns!

    Won’t touch his attorney fees, but hey, I’m feeling charitable.

    Don’t spend it all in one place!

  11. Lalalala August 2, 2023 at 4:47 pm

    Hey, look at that. Biden got America credit rating downgraded and then blamed it on Trump. Typical Brandon ..

  12. Ironmoped August 3, 2023 at 9:45 am

    When you have the likes of Marjorie Taylor (not sure what name she uses now that she’s divorced – I think it’s a family-values thing), and other Republicans running to news outlets saying they don’t care if the US defaults on its debt, then it’s to be expected that creditors might be concerned with the reliability of a borrower that says they don’t care if the bills get paid. That, coming on the back of an insurrection and the storming of the seat of Government would also cause concern in terms of credit ratings. Couple it with a growing debt (of which Trump ran up by $7.6 Trillion dollars), and you get a lowered governance rating which leads to uncertainty and a lowered credit rating.

    55 of the largest corporations (2020) in the country paid, either, zero federal income tax, or received rebates from the taxpayer. These tax breaks were enhanced by Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as his CARES Act.

    Westlake Chemical – $208 million dollar rebate
    Nike – $109 million rebate
    FedEx – $230 million rebate
    Dish Network – $231 million rebate
    Danaher – $321 million rebate
    Archer Daniels Midland – $164 million rebate
    American Electric Power – $138 million rebate
    DTE Energy – $247 million rebate
    Duke Energy – $281 million rebate
    Nucor – $177 million rebate

    The list goes on. This is money uncollected that gets pushed onto the American people. The US will forgo $161 billion of revenues (taxes) in 2023 as a result of special tax code provisions for corporations.

    50% of government revenue comes from individual taxpayers, about 7% from corporations, yet the infrastructure that allows those corporations to flourish are bought and paid for by the taxpayer, directly and indirectly.

    A recent case study on corporate taxes shows what happens under Republican governance. Kansas former Governor Brownback lowered ALL business taxes to zero saying, “it will be a shot of adrenaline into the heart of the Kansas economy. It will [immediately] bring business to Kansas and grow the Kansas economy.” Mitch McConnell praised Brownback publicly and said, “We need that kind of leadership at the National level.” However; in the first year of Brownback’s “experiment,” (he actually called it an experiment,) the State of Kansas ran an $800 million dollar deficit! As States can’t run a deficit (they can’t print money), they went to education and transportation to cover their $800 million dollar loss. Brownback actually went on record saying, “cutting revenue will raise revenue!” WTF? Talk about gaslighting!

    He was eventually overturned by a majority Republican legislature and taxes were reinstated (yes, Republicans raise taxes). He then fucked off to Washington where he got a job as Trump’s National spiritual advisor or some such shit!

    The Jan 6 insurrection was a major part of Fitch’s lowered credit rating.

    Keep up the great work Banana Republicans! You’ll get us to your coveted 3rd world status yet! While Biden works toward getting this place fixed, the Banana Republicans hold hearings on “public pissing” in DC and the size of Hunter’s dick (I think MGT’s got a thing for Hunter – look of interest on her face showing those pics in congress).

    You know who else isnt paying their fair share of taxes? Ill give a hint.. hes part of the Biden crime family.
