Dunce Cap Award: Pete Hegseth

 "You can't fix stupid!"---Ron White.

It's clear that defense secretary Pete Hegseth hasn't read a Bible in some time. Why else, then, did he resort to using a Hollywood adaptation of Ezekiel 25:17, dating back some 50 years, at a conference the other day?

In 1994's "Pulp Fiction", one of the characters, played by Samuel L. Jackson, recites a line of verse that paraphrases Ezekiel. This paraphrase originated some 20 years earlier with Sonny Chiba.

The actual verse reads like this:

"I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them." (New King James translation)

Because this gaffe, like every other mistake made by the current misadministration, has gone viral, Hegseth earned himself a Dunce Cap. All anyone needs do is Google the appropriate verse, or pull out their Bibles. It's that simple.

Believe me, even fictional preachers would have gotten it right.

If you want to know what a real preacher sounds like, check this Billy Graham sermon from 1982.

Unfortunately, Graham's son, Franklin, has also dined on the tree of stupid, supporting the blasphemy of ol' Mango Judas (Donald Trump) from earlier in the week. All Trump is doing, really, is admitting to the world that he is not, and never has been, a Christian. Preachers like Franklin, Paula White-Cain, et al, are pandering to the ego of this pumpkin skinned charlatan.

Just remember, God Himself warned that vengeance is His, and He will repay. Washington ain't exactly Sodom & Gomorrah, but, well........!
