I will say that he is a PERFECT DEMOCRAT!
This would make a wonderful dissertation subject were it not for the racist taboos created by secular humanists so they would have something to virtue signal to each other.
A true man of God.
Bet the jewelry was insured, and they stole fakes in an insurance fraud.
Any takers?
I wonder if it was an inside job.

Well, yes - if your 'God' happens to be named 'Mammon'.
I donβt think one can serve both God and mammon. π€π
Podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey had a black conservative author on the other day. He went on a long riff about how most black preachers are complicit in keeping blacks enslaved to government and welfare while enriching themselves.
"Could Lamor be the original Nigerian prince?"
Yep. It’s simply the First World implementation of the traditional African “big man” phenomenon.
- Yeah - I think I may have read that somewhere before...
