Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast issued the following statement after the House voted in favor of a bill sponsored by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) to ensure no more U.S. tax dollars fall into the hands of the Taliban after the Biden administration paid the terrorist regime millions of dollars following the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. "This bill makes sure not a single penny of American taxpayer money ends up in the hands of the Taliban"not directly, not through back doors, and not via weak-willed foreign governments or shady NGOs," Chairman Mast said. "If you're funding the Taliban, you're no friend of the United States." This issue has been a key focus for House Republicans since last Congress when lawmakers were made aware that weekly cash shipments of nearly $40 million were being sent to Afghanistan's Taliban-controlled Central Bank.
#1 That's exactly what Bozo is talking about.
The GQP would rather the people of Afghanistan starve.

When did you decide that anything Christ said gives you permission to be a bastard?
"As you may recall, your job was to go over there and make it our problem."
"No, my job was to go over there and let them know why attacking America was a bad idea"
Two things: Saudis attacked America on 9/11, not Afghanistan. In the summer before 9/11, Bush gave $40M to the Taliban leadership of Afghanistan.
"and also to help liberate the Afghanistan people from radical jihad"
You failed that part of the mission. But it's not your fault, right?
"But they are too stupid to do that. Can free a people who don't want to be freed."
Yeah, turns out that's a common problem with you people:
When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... For 400 years? That sounds like a choice.

"In Revelation 2:20, though, Jesus doesn't reserve his judgment for only those who engage in homosexual sex. He also condemns false teachers who mislead people into practicing homosexuality."
Revelation 2:20
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
So who is this "Jezebel" that Boaz refers to?
Not the Jezebel of The Bible. The Jezebel constructed by 20th Century Christians.
Notice that Boaz can't cite from his own knowledge of The Bible where Jesus condemns homosexuality.
Let me also point out how cocksure Boaz is that his obviously politicized interpretation of Scripture is right. Even though he can't quote it.
Here is the truth of what you believe in.
It is not The Bible.
It is the Patriarchy.
Though, of course, you believe those two things are synonymous!
Jezebel
en.wikipedia.org
Cultural symbol
According to Geoffrey Bromiley, the depiction of Jezebel as "the incarnation of Canaanite cultic and political practices, detested by Israelite prophets and loyalists, has given her a literary life far beyond the existence of a ninth-century Tyrian princess."[17]
Through the centuries, the name Jezebel came to be associated with false prophets. By the early 20th century, it was also associated with fallen or abandoned women.[52] By the 1950s and 1960s, the figures of Jezebel in 1 and 2 Kings and the Jezebel of Revelation began to be conflated and became "a trope for women".[53] In Christian lore, a comparison to Jezebel suggested that a person was a pagan or an apostate masquerading as a servant of God. By manipulation and seduction, she misled the saints of God into sins of idolatry and sexual immorality.[54] In particular, Christians associated Jezebel with promiscuity and the usurpation of male authority.[53]
I am of the opinion that what is condemned by Jesus is what Thomas Jefferson did to Sally Hemings:
In a footnote to his 2017 translation of the New Testament, David Bentley Hart writes, "My guess at the proper connotation of the word is based simply on the reality that in the first century the most common and readily available form of male homoerotic sexual activity was a master's or patron's exploitation of young male slaves."[37] en.wikipedia.org
"Just because a few of his actions overlap with parts of it doesn't mean he's secretly following the playbook."
My guess is Fox News never reported the architect of Project 2025, Russell Vought (the guy Trump pretended not to know), was put in charge of OMB.
Here are more P25 folks, now in the administration:

"Today's version of progressive ideology is a threat to kids."
You make these claims but never say what you mean.
What is "Today's version?"
When did "Today" Start?
Maybe this will help:
Is "Free To Be... You And Me" a problem for kids?
Yes or No.
It's ranked #49 in Children's Stories on Amazon.

Jesus wants us all to sit at the table with Him.
Jesus accepts all.
Despite your biases and bigotry.
