United States ruler, and Christian Nationalist, Donald Trump described the suspect as a “sick man” who “hated Christians,” while dismissing the accusations, in an interview with CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’. Trump snapped and called the host of 60 Minutes, Norah O’Donnell, a “disgrace” for reading the shooter’s manifesto on air. He also said that the shooter was a Christian, but isn’t one anymore, and because of that, he was “probably a pretty sick guy.” Christian Nationalism and Trump’s Weaponization of Religion In the 1,052-word manifesto,…

Iran has just tossed a bone to the United States. It has offered to open the Strait of Hormuz first, and then hold talks on its nuclear program. U.S. Begins Blockade of Strait of Hormuz This would postpone nuclear talks but reopen the vital waterway, relieving pressure at the pump, while also, hopefully, signaling an end to the war.
