With Court Adjourned, I Went To Church

On Wednesdays, Judge Merchan turns his attention to other matters; so yesterday I went to church instead (as it were).

First in North Carolina, then in Texas:

This fire-and-brimstone preacher calls Trump’s Bible disgusting — 3 minutes.

I have to say I find his fervor a little scary.

Calm and pitch perfect, by contrast: this sermon against Christian Nationalism. 

It begins with the “top reasons beer is better than religion.”

That seemed to engage the crowd.

And then he just lays it all out so beautifully.

“Christian Nationalists are more committed to the love of power than to the power of love.”

Watch the first few minutes; then share far and wide.

CHRB

Allen B.: “In your review of past recommendations, you left out CHRB.”

→ As mentioned here, I’m holding it for its $2.125 annual yield (12+% at the current $17.25) and in hopes it will be redeemed at $25 in 2026 as promised — about a 26% annual return unless something goes wrong.  I’m betting that it won’t.
