Dear (MRFF Representative’sname and rank withheld), Mikey Weinstein and the MRFF,
On behalf of 26 members of our military combat unit I wanted to thank our local base MRFF Rep. (name and rank withheld) for working so closely with Mikey Weinstein and the MRFF to stop our combat unit commander from “suggesting” at every unit meeting for the last 2 weeks that all of us “should pray on our knees to the Lord to make sure our CongresMEN of spirit and faith pass a bill to keep our government from closing.”
I happen to be both female and Catholic but we all know what our commander meant. When he “suggests” he orders. After all, he is our commander. We get it and we don’t like it this time. He is a very outspoken conservative Christian and MAGA enthusiast and never misses an opportunity to remind all of us about it. He is a member of some officer Christian group and they proselytize at every turn in the road here in our unit and elsewhere on our installation.
After we consulted with our base MRFF Rep. she worked with Mikey Weinstein to take our complaints to senior command and they apparently were able to get our commander to stop “suggesting” these prayers. He has not only stopped this demeaning Christian proselytizing behavior but he has now also even taken down several framed signs in his office citing New Testament passages warning of the consequences of not accepting Christ as Savior.
For the record: of the 26 MRFF clients here 19 are either Catholic like me or Protestant. The others are Muslim, Atheist, Jewish and Buddhist.
Without the immediate intervention of the MRFF working with our base MRFF Rep. we never would have been able to get the win here!
Thanks MRFF for everything!

I guess that praying worked!
The problem though, is the Lord told Kevin McCarthy to get with the Democrats (Oh No!), and they passed a “clean” resolution (with the exception of Ukraine funding – coming later).
The Republicans didn’t get the 30% reduction in Social Security that they wanted because “woke Jesus” likes the older generation. You know, the folks that are getting ready to come see him!
In fact, House Republicans wanted a 30% reduction in all non-defense appropriations. Basically, an across the board 30% cut in everything – except their pay of course!
But they ran up the Federal debt during Trump’s reign of error by $8 Trillion dollars! No issues there! Not a peep out of them when increasing the debt by 25+ percent!
You know why? Because they’re fucking wankers, to borrow from an English expression. A term normally reserved for men but Lauren Blowbert proved it applies to females as well, literally, pulling Quinn’s Gallagher in the Buell Theater in Denver, right there in public for all to see!
So, while the praying Commander did get his wish, for now, of no Government shut down, I think his “woke savior” surprised him a bit with the result. All them little kids living in poverty still get food assistance, invalid seniors still get “meals-on-wheels,” SNAP and CHIP payments still go out, etc.
He’s going to have to be a little more specific in his prayers from now on!
For fuck sake Jesus! He didn’t want you to take care of everyone! Just him! Goddamn it!
GOP no longer exists. It’s now the POW – Party Of Wankers!
