President Trump, I hope you read this. If rumors are true that Thune is trying to tell you that if you support Cornyn, he will get Save Vote Act passed, don't do it. Truth and honesty will win. If I lived in Texas, I would vote for Ken Paxton. Thank you Alex. I feel honored to know a man like you. God Bless
As a person whose father emphatically instilled the ideals of truth, loyalty, and honesty in his children from a young age, the moral turpitude committed by Mark Wingfield is twofold. But the worst sin is for someone, who as a minister preaches Godโs message and counsels parishioners on moral issues, will publish deliberate lies to defame another person. What happens when we cannot trust the very people who proclaim Godโs message to even attempt to live up to those values? What happens when someone deliberately flouts the very message they stand at the pulpit to exhort the crowd to follow? Trust is eroded โ that is the consequence.
Absolute truth matters - shading the facts, omitting facts, or offering sly implications can entirely change the narrative. That John Cornyn would not refute the lies in Wingfieldโs article, tells me much of what his true character is โ and it paints a very ugly picture no matter which way one looks at it. That Cornyn seems to be aligned with Democrats and Soros would be proof he is a creature of the Swamp. Someone willing to use such foul means to retain power is not a worthy candidate.
John Cornyn does not deserve the trust of his constituents or to be in office and I will be forwarding your excellent article to my cousins living in Texas. I do hope Mark Wingfield confesses his multiple sins for the sake of his soul; he is in dire need of Godโs grace.
Thank you Alex, as always you are a voice of reason, sanity, and truth is a crazed world.
Thank you very much for that deep dive and clear explanation. Parts were painful to write, I'm sure. It's a difficult road and harder than it should be to find a Godly church these days; seems like it took me forever to be led to mine, many roads and detours that I'm sure were all for my good - but it's a wilderness and nests of vipers out there. Praying it will get easier for others through the work of the Holy Spirit among us.
Bravo amuse!! I have wondered about the schism in TX conservative politics for a long time. Paxton troubles. House Speaker deception!! Lucado. Now, this DETAIL makes many features fill-in the blanks. From late 80's for almost 2 decades, as a young mother and an OK Southern Baptist, I lived 'adjacent' to TX "Baptistdom" (MY term) (but grew up Methodist in Iowa). I lived a lot of cultural transitions. How I appreciate, not only your thorough grasp of logic on so many of these political issues, but now this personal perspective of TX church episodes entangling with politics!! The alliances coming into clearer 'relief' are being EXPOSED, like relief on a map - deceptions being eroded, washed away - revealing what's truly happening! The veneer of long faithfulness dupes many into habitual following, missing the shifting loyalties of leaders who have hollowed out true faith. Words get redefined: Life. Sin. Gender. Justice. Marriage. Neighbor. Nations. Love! Jesus' actual claims... the CROSS! Perversion of truth happens in subtle, then obvious ways.
Why wait till judgement day? We can judge this former judge right now! He wanted a real conservative, Kavanaugh borked. Cornyn feigned trust in an interview that Christine Blasey Ford was telling the truth about Kavanaugh assaulting her 36 years earlier. Cornyn will do or say anything to destroy true conservatives. He is a biased former judge who needs to be run out of office on a rail!
Iโm relatively new to your columns, which have impressed me for their clearly and logically presented deep dives. Today you impressed me as a biblically guided Witness, a moral prosecutor on behalf of the truth. Thank you.
Texans would be foolish to reelect Democrat (NOT A ๐ฆ) Cornyn. Look at the shenanigans going on with Thune. Heโs a 100% Democrat (NOT A ๐ฆ) who canโt get elected in South Dakota w/o a Republican monicker. Sad sad for his constituents. They deserve a whole lot better. Hope they get a chance to dump him.
Cornyn is truly an evil and despicable swamp creature. No virtue whatsoever. In less than two months Texans are going to send his sorry ass into permanent retirement. And he knows it. These are the acts of a desperate man. I wonโt call myself a Texan, because Iโve only lived there for four and half years and I canโt claim to speak for Texans, either, but for sure I will be glad Texas has finally rid itself of this awful cretin.
Awhile back, when I trusted Tucker, he had a great interview with Paxton on what he went through for going up against Texas establishment. Worth a watch, probably on YouTube. Also Megan Bashamโs excellent book Shepards for Sale tells whatโs happened to many church leaders like the ones mentioned in this essay. I havenโt been on X yet today, sure hope your report is there as well. Good job getting the truth out & exposing the hypocrites who seem to have sold their souls.
We are all accountable to the ALMIGHTY GOD YHVH - Men and women of the โclothโ, moreso by vocation. But ultimately, we all are and will be so be accountable now and avoid the long lines at check in. LoL
Seriously folks, it is worse for pastors to sway their congregation one jot and one title away from the WILL of YHVH GOD ALMIGHTY, than it is for a human being running for political office, lies and does the shim sham slight of hand, and lies all the way through, but throws their constituents a bone now and then and somehow the too busy constituents keep voting for the same demonic ilk.
So you see, itโs up to you and me.
Bottom line!
If you donโt have a firm foundation, you cannot serve GOD and mammon. Some of these mega churches have flaws that I would not insure. We know religion has flaws. Buddhism is a philosophy and so are all religions or why would their parishioners and clergy be so verklempt? Well, they all work to a degree. We all should experience a Lakota sweat lodge. You can be a Buddhist, enter the inipi once a month, and know that GOD and JESUS are real and THEY will show you the truth and have THEIR Devine Assistance and LOVE and still be in your human body.
Fricking scumbag. If we get stuck with him, Iโm voting Talarico.
Cornyn is toast and he knows it. Taletico is toast as well, everyone here in TX knows he is a communist and fraudulent preacher
Thank you so much for the article, really helps make sense of this nasty political machine known as Texas sausage-making. All in for Paxton now.

Paxton would make a great senator and maybe AG one day or even sc justice
he has all the correct enemies
Cornynโs goose should
be cooked on judgment/election day.

Not much difference between Talarico and Cornyn, then.
