[They] gathered to watch live as Trump walked from the White House to St John’s. “My mother just shouted out, ‘God give him strength! He’s doing a Jericho walk!’”
A Jericho walk, in some evangelical circles, refers to the biblical book of Joshua, where God commanded the Israelites to walk seven times around the opposing city of Jericho, whose walls then came crashing down.
Eleanor said that no US President could be elected without support from the Bible Belt. That they composed 30% of the vote. About 80% of the 94 million Evangelicals voted for Trump in 2016.
Eleanor Dickinson was a radical feminist, an activist, a friend of mine. She and two other Bay Areas heavyweights, Ruth Waters and Rusty Cantor, took me under their wing so we could, together, take on the male-dominated art world.
Eleanor grew up in the South in the Bible Belt. She went to tent revivals.
Eleanor Creekmore Dickinson would wash the black and white stripes from her hair and scrub out the electric blue and pink streaks that helped define her as another rebellious San Francisco artist.
She would dye her hair back to its native brown, tone down her dress and return to the Deep South, where she was raised, to carefully capture — on canvas, on black velvet, on videotape — the rituals of Pentecostal revivals.
Eleanor had her office in the basement of her house in San Francisco. She had a wall of videos that she had taken of tent revivals. There were several showing men (not women) handling snakes. All in black and white. I have no idea what she said to the worshipers that allowed her to take those videos. At one point, she installed a complete replica of a tent revival in one of the San Francisco museums.
What a trip. Another world.
And these people are the people that believe that Trump should be the president.
So how did devotees like Horbowy become such a potent force that Trump would signal them in his hour of need? One answer lies in their relationship with Trump. They have given him their fervent support at the ballot box and in turn they have seen a conservative takeover of the courts and an assault on reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights.
Their power and worldview is a culmination of trends that started decades ago, according to John Fea, a history professor at Messiah College and himself an evangelical Christian. “It’s rooted in fear,” he said.
In the 1980s, Fea said, several forces converged to alarm white Christians: a removal of official prayer and Bible readings from schools, an influx of immigrants from Asia and the Middle East, and the final desegregation of schools like Bob Jones University.
“So came the emergence of the Christian right,” Fea said.
(We can thank Obama for not filling the seats for those judgeships.)
The numbers tell the story. 'His' poll numbers are falling. Pivot to gain support among the religious right and to create an image that justifies his ‘invoking of violence’. Run on a 'law-and-order' platform.
There couldn’t be a scarier person inhabiting the White House at this very moment. It’s deliberate what he’s doing. He’s deliberately stoking anger so he can run a law-and-order platform,”
It’s all about the election.
In the meantime, nothing has been done to stem the tide of The Virus and Climate Chaos presses forward, unabated, as the Antarctic Ice continues to melt and Carbon Dioxide levels climb.
Oh, and the protests continue...

Inverting a symbol inverts its meaning
Upside down crosses and pentagrams. The Nazi swastika was mirrored. I'm sure Trump was clueless about it, but inverting his Bible is delightfully ironic.

My personal theory is that he wasn’t holding a bible
at all. I think he just grabbed a book off the shelf as he didn’t have a bible to on hand. He swore it was a bible, but he wasn’t holding a bible so it’s all OK. In his mind I imagine one prop is as good as another. Anyway, that explains why he held it upside down and a backward. I think.

Good morning magi. Thanks for the cogent analysis of
Trumps behavior. It does make great sense as a campaign ploy and yet another page from the lawn order book, just as it was obviously pandering to the evangelicals and others of the religious right. I was looking for a quotation from Tom Paine for a column, and rejected this one as too easily subject to misinterpretation, what with the co-option of the word "patriot" and all things "patriotic" as symbols of racism, fascism, oppression, and fascism, but --

Unfortunately
this is the song that comes to my mind.
This is another issue where Obama opened the door
and Trump simply walked through it.
Obama was the king of destruction when it came to separation of church and state. I remember Barry Lynn (retired President of AU) gnashing his teeth over Obama and all the religious crap he participated in as President.
I have photos of Obama conducting or participating in prayer sessions right in the Oval Office. He has a laying on of hands by a bunch of black ministers before he went out to give a speech. He hired ministers to pray before his campaign rallies. He hired a Pentacostal minister to run the faith based office, who was also paid to sent Obama inspirational messages daily (on our taxpayers' dime). Worst of all he promised as a candidate to stop the flow of money from Bush's faith based program to churches and religious institutions who discriminated in their hiring, and he never followed up on that promise.
So when people complain about Trump and his entourage of religious nuts (Jeffress, White, etc), I get all itchy about the hypocrisy of that.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
Eisenhower started that tradition
after the crash of the 1930s when corporations and banks didn't like being perceived as what they were, and felt the need to be whitewashed. Soon after the war, when Eisenhower was elected, he brought in Billy Sunday to help him write speeches and "explain things." Sunday even ghostwrote some. Later Nixon followed a similar line of action.
My parents had voted for Adlai Stevenson and took his loss hard.
Inserting “under G~d” into the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag…
When I first told my German co-workers about us elementary school kids’ having to say the flag pledge every morning, and about compulsory Junior ROTC for the boys in high school, complete with uniforms, parades, and rifle inspections every Wednesday, their faces took on this funny expression. That degree of nationalistic fervor and militarism would have been unheard of in West Germany. For the life of them, they swore it sounded just like the sort of indoctrination usual both in East Germany and earlier under You-Know-Who.
As president, Eisenhower might have had good intentions, but he definitely seems to have naïvely delegated immense power and influence to the evil duo of Allen Dulles and John Foster Dulles,
You nailed it, Fish. Posted a photo of 'O' standing
at a church podium, with a byline touting his expansion of Bush's Faith Based program (at DKos). And, "Crickets."
As I recall, I saw nary a word written about it in progressive media. (Except, perhaps, an occasional mention of his Brother's Keeper program, without explanation.) Of course, the WaPo piece was very complimentary of his efforts.

Trump will take the fight to Washington - were the words
I heard in a small diner in 2016 as Trump was laying waste to the the Republican presidential contenders. Being a Trump supporter was not popular at the time and her daughter(?) frantically trying to get her to quite down. Her voice simply rose higher "We are going to tear it down."
At that moment I realized Trump was likely to win the nomination and could go all the way. The belief Trump is fighting Washington is stronger now in my part of the world. Trump country of rural Oregon.
The growing feeling we are in this together with the COVID-19 is disappearing. It was back to an us vs them during my conversations this week and it took longer to get to common ground on world affairs. Trump is a master at playing to his audience and diverting attention from actions harming his audience.
Still yourself, deep water can absorb many disturbances with minimal reaction.

Good morning, magi,
Damn, just lost a long comment about growing up in sweltering churches and tents fanning away desperately awaiting the climax of speaking in tongues when all hell would break loose and scare the jesus right out of us children. But fate ate the comment.
The damn evangelical snake is the most devilish of them all, it binds the other poisons together.
A pleasure to learn more of your previous work. Thank you for sharing.
Be well and stay safe.
Edit sp
I 'm sure you meant
"speaking in tongues" in your description of church life.
I was broughtup in rural pentecostal, also known as holy rollers where they literally rolled on the floor as nd in the aisles of the church.
Very frightening to a young mind. Didn't put the fear of god in me, only the fear of churches and the people who attend them.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Seeing the talking of tongues is erh ah notable.
I was raised a Catholic. When I was an altar boy we had to learn the prayers and responses in Latin to show my age. In high school we had a Puerto Rican buddy whose family were strict Pentacostals We would attend service with him and then go out drinking. The first time I saw members speaking in tongues scared me. A little guy picked up a pew in front of him. We would sit in a corner of the church to give room to the those speaking in tongues. Did not changed our drinking though.

The gop has the vote of US white Christianity
Was looking at the following link awhile ago:
How the faithful voted: A preliminary 2016 analysis
Republicans get a majority of white Christians and democrats get the majority of minority Christians. Some groups went heavily for Trump like born-agains, and some groups like Hispanic Christians went heavily to Clinton.
I read about a lead minister of a magachurch who decided no more political action or references by church goers. The church lost 40% of its members. Sorry cannot find story or link. But it seems that for many white Christians, that identity is tied up with being a republican.

Hi, Magi! Yeah, it was quite appalling
what happened at the Church of the Presidents (I think it's called) earlier this week.
Sadly, his stunt may work with a large segment of the 'conservative' evangelical community. I can assure folks, they're already out in force in our neck-of-the-woods, with their GOTV drives--knocking on doors/leaving door tags.
Having said that, my own upbringing was in a progressive Gospel-based faith community--no snakes, allowed, and no vitriol toward anyone, tolerated.
Actually, it was some of the impetus for my Father's participation in protests and marches in Selma and Montgomery, at a time when a white Dude was generally more despised (for a show of solidarity) than his black counterparts.
My own attitudes and values have been greatly influenced by my Father. One of the lessons he taught me was that you cannot allow yourself to become what you despise or loathe; or, like your oppressors. Which is the basis, I suppose, for my belief that the most effective protests are usually the ones which try to avoid doing harm to others.
(Having said that, I'm not implying that most protesters have participated in mayhem. I suspect it's mostly anarchists/opportunists who could care less about racial or social injustices. BTW, as of a couple of days, ago, Cable TV news hosts/reporters finally made efforts to point that out, to their credit.)
At any rate, I'm hoping that AG Ellison won't drop the ball. I don't have a lot of trust of him, because he was so duplicitous regarding his support of slashing entitlements, or, striking a 'Grand Bargain.' Hopefully, I'm wrong that he might try to co-opt the effort to seek justice for George Floyd. Time will tell.
Thanks for today's OT. Take good care of yourself; be well.

Good afternoon. Wow. Marching in Selma! That would be life-forming. Good on him. In high school we were taught that gays were, well, just wrong. And to shun blacks, but that was unspoken for the most part - just what people did. So, we have made some baby steps but have a very long way to go.

campsjail. Time will tell. As to co-opting, surely 'they' will try.Good to 'see' you. Take good care and have a good one.

oops
Are you predisposed for Covid-19 infection?
A huge study I've been waiting for has been published, finally.
Blood group type may affect susceptibility to COVID-19 respiratory failure
A group of over 120 researchers from various institutions across Europe has performed the first genome-wide association study to find commonalities that may contribute to the respiratory failures that cause fatalities in cases of coronavirus infections. It was a large study population, which included 835 patients and 1,255 controls from Italy and 775 patients and 950 controls from Spain.
Here's what they found:
• People with blood type A+ are at higher risk for infection and respiratory failure. (That includes me, I'm afraid.)
• People with blood type O+ are more protected from infection and respiratory complications.
A+ blood is found in 34% of people, making it the second most common blood type behind O+
If your blood is A positive (A+), it means that your blood contains type-A antigens with the presence of a protein called the rhesus (Rh) factor. Antigens are markers on the surface of a blood cell. Blood type A is the most ancient, and it existed before the human species evolved from its hominid ancestors.
If you fall into the O blood group, you have neither A nor B antigens on your red cells, but both A and B antibodies in your plasma. O positive is the most common blood type; O negative is the universal donor type, meaning those with this blood type can donate red blood cells to anybody.
You can see the original study here, while it is being peer reviewed:
.
Pluto's Pandemic Kit
Amazon sells an at-home blood typing kit for $9.
There are a wide array of at home tests now. You can be your own doctor and check your own vitals. They even have a Vitamin D3 to check your blood levels. Taking 5,000 IU for 30 days while the virus is trying to find you, will give you an important immune boost that may be particularly effective against Covid-19. Take some zinc daily, too.
Amazon also has a good fingertip Oximeter on sale for $23.
This device measures blood oxygen and can save your life. The earlier you are treated for a drop in oxygen the better the outcome. Most people miss their chance. An Oximeter and a digital thermometer are frontline defense. And remember, your body temperature is probably a full degree cooler than your remember it being. Find your new baseline normal and work from that. One degree can make a big difference in your prognosis.
I'll be back with more evidence-based virus defense tips that you won't find anywhere else.

You're welcome. Speaking of blood...
Here's some important medical news.
Some may want to print it out and take it with you if you need treatment.
The virus is causing your blood to clot in your veins. That's the cause of the pain.
.
Heparin should now be routine upon admission to any hospital for Covid-19 patients. Some doctors are prescribing it for at home patients, as well.
Make sure you are on the Thrombiotic track once you are diagnosed. You probably do not need a ventilator.
Thanks for this report
I will pass it on.
Edit to add link for article you referenced.
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-covid-thrombotic-disease-brazilia...
The ventilators don’t seem to be working that well. I have now seen several other reports saying the same. They are slowly figuring this disease out. There will be no vaccine for some time but these studies will help save lives when the second wave comes. I think everyone who is high risk should have an oximeter.

In New York
More than 90 percent of patients put on ventilators die.
No cause-effect suggested, but regardless of the variables, it's not a very medically-viable treatment.
I'm glad you are interested in this information. You seem very knowledgable. Are you in a related field?
The blood typing kit sounds useful.
I typed mine in HS and college science courses but this would be very useful for people who do not know. My blood is type O. I am still being careful because it just decreases my risk but does not eliminate it.
Vitamin D needs to be taken carefully. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble and can build up in the body. Taking too much of these vitamins can be dangerous. I am only taking a daily vitamin with 100% of the recommended amount for the usual alphabet of vitamins. My vitamins are for people over 50 and do not contain extra iron.
Vitamin C in large doses is excreted in urine so it does not build up. I mostly prefer to get my vitamin C in fruit and juice, but there is also some in my daily vitamin. Vitamin C supplements do not carry the risk posed by excess vitamin D.
(I have taught college-level biochemistry so these are not random opinions.)
Very interesting pluto
This is a response to pluto
I have a bs in computers (cis). Started studying glaze chem at 19, bfa and mfa in bronze casting and figurative. Have lung issues both from ceramics and bronze casting so I needed to know everything about it for my health. I tend to treat everything like an extended glaze investigation. Applied science was never my interest but I ended up there and it is extremely useful. Maybe more info than you need but these skills serve me well and I just want to know how everything works. My daughter is a cardiac nurse practitioner and works with people who are very high risk. We talk a bunch.
@ScienceTeacher
Agree with you on the vitamin issues. D can be used at very high doses (35k) for short periods of time eg one month. When I was in Canada one of the first things the doc said was take 1k per day. 2k is ok. Good to get blood tested for d. I did a bunch of research on d. To get d from sun exposure it needs to to stay on the body for 24 hours to be absorbed and already tanned skin doesn’t absorb. So supplements are the way to go. (There is some interesting research out of olympia WA about using shiitake mushrooms.) Yeah, I try to get my c from fruit. Okay this is getting long. I have been reading everything I can on this and appreciate your sharing what you know. Thx.
