He makes a good case for it too.; 11/5/19, 10:13 AM

Amadeus 48 said...: Obama's spiritual adviser was Larry Tribe. So?

Also, to steal from Disraeli, Obama made his conscience his accomplice rather than his guide.; 11/5/19, 10:15 AM

Drago said...: Bill Clinton literally brought in the Reverend Jesse Jackson (noted married guy philanderer and user of org funds to pay a young woman who had his child out of wedlock) to spiritually counsel Billy boy on marital fidelity.

It took about 3 days for Jackson to declare everything cool on that front and the entirety of the left cheered as if as one!!

LOL

Summary: Party of Clinton, Weinstein, post-birth abortion infanticide and selling of baby parts decides now would be a good time to lecture republicans on Faith.

Discuss.; 11/5/19, 10:28 AM
Earnest Prole said...: She's a deeply religious experience.; 11/5/19, 10:32 AM
rcocean said...: Interesting. Before Trump was a phony who pretended to believe in religion for votes, now he's bad because he has a spiritual adviser.; 11/5/19, 10:35 AM
rcocean said...: I could see Trump becoming a very devote Christian, as long as he didn't have to give up Shark Week.; 11/5/19, 10:36 AM
tim in vermont said...: If they weren’t always trying to get Trump removed from office, I would agree with them from time to time. As it is, sod off swampy, to coin a phrase.; 11/5/19, 10:41 AM

readering said...: Just another grifter joining WH payroll.; 11/5/19, 10:47 AM
traditionalguy said...: You go to war with the army that you have. The Paula White types are rare like trained special forces operators. Trump knows people and uses them for their talents. Being a man of Faith, Trump knows what is authentic and what is fake in the Spiritual warfare realm.

Like we approached Trump himself, we ought to appreciate the winning and not dump her for being an embarrassment until the war is over. Remember the November 8-9 , 2016 night. That was VE Day. But VJ day is still a year away. Trump has huge loyalty gene, so he probably won't dump her when it's over. However, she may dump him.; 11/5/19, 11:07 AM
Joe Biden, America's Putin said...: She is weird. But i don't care. Is she going to bring down America with Schitt lies?

not.; 11/5/19, 11:44 AM
Drago said...: readering: "Just another grifter joining WH payroll."

LOLOLOL

Yes, a lefty wrote that. Just now. Without irony!

Meanwhile, how did gang rape accuser-liar Blasey-Ford make out? At last count she was well over $1Million paid to her for her transparent lies....which you swallowed whole.

Too funny. And, unfortunately for the left, utterly unbelievable and no longer persuasive.; 11/5/19, 11:45 AM
Yancey Ward said...: She's fuckable.; 11/5/19, 11:48 AM
purplepenquin said...: Discuss.

If we're gonna say that the Democratics have no business talking about faith because a cheater requested advice from a preacher who had sinned as well, then what should be said about the the seances that were conducted in the White House and the astrologer who was consulted on most decisions?

Those happened under Republican administrations...does that reflect on the party as a whole?

Continue to discuss.; 11/5/19, 11:50 AM

wild chicken said...: Not a bad idea. Charlemagne was a beast, too, but had Alcuin.; 11/5/19, 12:01 PM
wild chicken said...: He should use Dennis Prager.; 11/5/19, 12:03 PM
Sebastian said...: "Trump has huge loyalty gene"

That's funny!

Anyway, White is not wrong about the spiritual warfare going on, and Trump probably appreciates her skillz, but methinks he needs no "advice" from a huckster.; 11/5/19, 12:05 PM
Howard said...: Deal with It, libtards; 11/5/19, 12:08 PM
Operaman said...: It is hard to imagine a more perfect fit. White is not only a prominent prosperity gospel preacher but is all powerful: “I had every right and authority to declare the White House as holy ground because I was standing there and where I stand is holy.”; 11/5/19, 12:21 PM
readering said...: Folks I promise Drago and Readering aren't a team (or a trope).; 11/5/19, 12:26 PM

LOL. I wish I had written that.; 11/5/19, 12:32 PM
Rosalyn C. said...: So now Trump's enemies are going after his spiritual adviser? She's not my style but I don't have a problem with her. It's good to have somebody around you can count on to raise your spirits. Paula White definitely has a lot of energy and obviously a pretty tough skin. I'm glad Trump has her support. I do my part and say a prayer for Trump, his strength.; 11/5/19, 12:38 PM

Lets spend some time discussing how your latest democrat nominee for the Presidency, Hillary Clinton literally was "communing" with Eleanor Roosevelt and Gandhi in the White House!!

And she was A-Okay with you guys just a few years ago!!

A far cry from Nancy Reagans fears involving her husband being shot at and almost killed by a guy the lefties couldn't wait to release from prison.; 11/5/19, 12:39 PM
Bilwick said...: "If we're gonna say that the Democratics have no business talking about faith. . . "

As an atheistic libertarian I would never say that. "Liberal" Democrats and other State-cultists have nothing BUT faith. Certainly not facts or logic.; 11/5/19, 12:58 PM
rehajm said...: She seems kooky.; 11/5/19, 12:59 PM
Darrell said...: In November 2019, Trump appointed White as special adviser to the Faith and Opportunity Initiative at the Office of Public Liaison. She delivered the invocation at his inauguration, on January 20, 2017.[5] She is the first female to deliver the invocation. That's what Althouse Lefties really object to.

Obama had renamed it the Office of Public Liaison the Office of Public Engagement. Under the Obama administration, the Office of Public Engagement had been referred to as "the front door to the White House, through which everyone can participate and inform the work of the President." Who did Obama select to answer that door? Why Val Jar, of course!; 11/5/19, 1:19 PM
Jim at said...: then what should be said about the the seances that were conducted in the White House and the astrologer who was consulted on most decisions?

That we should discuss things that are happening this century?; 11/5/19, 1:43 PM
traditionalguy said...: Evangelist Paula White has a large following among single women that watch TBN. These are a subset of the famous white suburban women voters that Trump supposedly loses. There are lots of them that see Paula as their trusted opinion leader. Their suburbs are not the expensive ones. But they are very faithful voters and givers. This is the same demographic that supported Sarah Palin. Good people to have on your side.; 11/5/19, 2:04 PM

Freeman Hunt said...: The "prosperity gospel" is the anti-gospel. But then, I never thought Trump was a Christian, so whatever.; 11/5/19, 4:46 PM
narciso said...: yes it's not a real grasp of the message,; 11/5/19, 5:12 PM
rcocean said...: Oh for the days of Bill Clinton and Barrack Hussain Obama - when we had REAL Christians in the White House. Remember the Clinton's BIG BIBLE? They'd take it out and show it every time Bill was caught in a Bimbo Eruption or Hillary was caught in some fraud. And Then was Barrack. Who was a greater man of God, then Barrack "Goddamn America" and Reverend Wright?

Mittens was supposedly a big religious guy, unlike Pierre Delecto.; 11/5/19, 5:37 PM
Birkel said...: How is that slippery slope, Freeman Hunt?; 11/5/19, 5:44 PM
Mike said...: I like what one of my readers said: this isn't so much spiritual advising as it is professional courtesy between two con artists.; 11/5/19, 5:47 PM
Robert Cook said...: "Good people to have on your side."

Why else would Trump be pandering to them?; 11/5/19, 7:54 PM

Ha! Good joke!; 11/5/19, 7:55 PM

So...better lying grifters than honest (sic) atheists?; 11/5/19, 7:57 PM

probably a sexual realtionship, don't you think?

looks like KY has a dem gov now and VA has turned quite blue

readering said...: From Newsweek:

Alongside fellow Christian leaders Cindy Jacobs, Dave Kabul and Dutch Sheets, White has launched the One Voice Prayer Movement, starting the initiative on Tuesday with a prayer for Trump. "Lord, we ask you to deliver our president from any snare, any setup of the enemy, according to Ephesians 6:12. Any persons [or] entities that are aligned against the president will be exposed and dealt with and overturned by the superior blood of Jesus," she said during her prayer in a conference call with other Christian leaders.

"Whether it's the spirit of Leviathan, a spirit of Jezebel, Abaddon, whether it's the spirit of Belial, we come against the strongmen, especially Jezebel, that which would operate in sorcery and witchcraft, that which would operate in hidden things, veiled things, that which would operate in deception," she continued. "We come against it according to your word."

Witch hunt!; 11/6/19, 5:55 PM
