ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!

Blood is sticky, did you know that?

Have you been around blood, blood freed from its bodily vessel, little girl blood, splattered on the walls of an elementary school, bombed on the first day of the Middle East Maga crusade, led by the dry drunk girlfriend beating dick-less (well that’s what I heard) tattooed white supremacist Pete Hegseth.

Here’s the request he made to the American people from the Pentagon, to pray for victory:

“Every day on bended knee, with your family, in your schools, in your churches….
for Jesus Christ.”

So, it’s that old “kill for Christ” line, or kill for Allah or kill for Jehovah….?

Sadly, tropes like these have worked for centuries, and still work today as “we the people” shell out a billion a day to pay for holy carnage.

“God said to Abraham “kill me a son.” Abe said, “man you must be puttin’ me on.”

But it’s no joke. Blood is sticky.
