I'm disappointed.
I own several Bibles and study Bibles. I have different translations and simply enjoy my collection. So, the God Bless the USA Bible was destined to be on my shelf. Anyone who has read my posts knows I have issues with mixing capitalism and Christianity anyway. I find the whole idea of making money selling The Gospel as contradictory. However, to be realistic Bibles cost money to make and people enjoy buying Christian music. About 3 weeks ago I purchased this God Bless bible that claims Trump isn't getting a dime and was sold a few years ago and is being resurrected (so to speak). After making the purchase I got an email saying they received the order and I was charged. The website says they have plenty in stock and are shipping daily. I haven't seen a thing from them since. There is no contact information on the receipt and no indication when it will ship. On their website there is a form to ask questions. The page says they will answer my question. I've filled out the form 3 times asking for a ship date and have heard nothing. I know they have my correct email because I did get the receipt. They are simply not responding.
So ... I am wondering if this actually is a scam.
"...that claims Trump isn't getting a dime..."
LOL
Will people EVER learn.
I am not sure where you got THAT claim
www.cnbc.com's%20campaign.
It is unclear how much money Trump is making off the Bible " he is receiving royalties from its sales, a person familiar with the arrangement told The New York Times " but whatever he gets will be effectively going into his pocket. The website for the Bibles says it has no link to Trump's campaign.
The website for the Bibles says it has no link to Trump's campaign. It instead uses Trump's name, likeness and image under paid license from a company called CIC Ventures LLC.
Trump's 2023 financial disclosure calls him the "Manager, President, Secretary, & Treasurer" of CIC Ventures, and lists his revocable trust as the sole owner of the company. Trump has made more than $5 million in speaking engagements through the company, the disclosure shows. Florida business records show CIC's address is the same as Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Will this cause BillJ to reconsider this life choices? Absolutely not. He will simple deny that ------- is getting paid.
@#44 ... Big difference between
Thou Shalt Not Murder
and
Thou Shalt Not Kill ...
Yup.
On the end-table next to the sofa I am currently sitting on, and within reach is the book, "The Complete Parallel Bible," all 3300 pages of it. ( search.worldcat.org )
From that book, Exodus 20. Page 154 and 155...
...
New Revised Standard Version: 13 You shall not murder.
Revised English Bible: 13: Do not commit murder.
New American Bible: You shall not kill.
New Jerusalem Bible: You shall not kill.

I know this is way up for the original post but you are not the only one that sees it and some CLAIM that is God's Hand guiding the changes silly enough. A couple of my more favored "lighter" works on the insanity of the bible and the manipulation of the "holy" scripts are below. It starts essentially immediately and the Roman's wiped entire books because they didn't fit with the narrative the emperor wanted to instill in the religion he sought to control. The references in Ken's Guide to the Bible (very short work) is just fun for when I engage with certain Zealots.

Why read a Bible when you can use them to decorate your house?
Besides, the pastor will tell you what the Bible says and means!

"Trump is being used"
How can you support such an easy mark?
(It's because you're an easy mark too.)
I'd like to know what the Bible sold for before Trump endorsed it?
Lewzer's markup was $10 per unit.

BillJohnson, this post is about you.
@#158 ... The same people who buy DJT stock. ...
I'm not yet convinced to go there at this point.
Given the trading volume of DJT, the buying looks like it may be some wealthy supporter who has a few ten thousands to dispose of for, possibly, some return.
Or, there may be some other manipulation in play...
There's this...
Trump Media tells Nasdaq short sellers may be using "potential market manipulation" in DJT shares
www.cbsnews.com
... Trump Media & Technology Group is alerting the Nasdaq exchange that its stock " trading under the ticker DJT, after former President Donald Trump's initials " may be the victim of "potential market manipulation" due to short-selling activity.
The letter, which was sent Thursday to Nasdaq CEO Adena T. Friedman, claims that some traders are relying on so-called "naked" short selling, which is when an investor shorts a stock without first borrowing the shares. It's a practice that is effectively banned in the U.S., with regulators requiring trading firms to make sure that traders have the securities on hand to complete a short sale.
The complaint comes after a wild ride for Trump Media's stock since going public last month on the Nasdaq exchange. The shares lost two-thirds of their value from an initial peak, slicing billions of value from the fledgling media business, whose primary asset is the social media service Truth Social.
While Trump Media has regained some of that lost ground, rising 28% this week, some investors had complained on Truth Social that they suspected short sellers were contributing to the decline.
"Reports indicate that, as of April 3, 2024, DJT was 'by far' 'the most expensive U.S. stock to short,' meaning that brokers have a significant financial incentive to lend non-existent shares," Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes, a former Republican congressman from California, wrote to April 18 letter to the Nasdaq CEO.
Nunes asked for Nasdaq to "advise what steps you can take to foster transparency and compliance by ensuring market makers are adhering" to regulations that block naked short selling.
Shares of Trump Media rose $3.19, or 9.6%, to $36.38 on Friday.
The agencies that would regulate naked short selling include the Securities and Exchange Commission and FINRA, the financial industry regulatory authority that oversees broker-dealers, as the latter companies are those that execute short sale trades on behalf of customers. ...
