And it came to pass at that time that a man named Donald came forth from the land of Queens, across the great East River from the city they called the New Jerusalem.
Now this Trumpite was a master builder and a skilled storyteller, but he was not at first a man of God. He built vast temples to Mammon, some of which, heavy with debt, collapsed in a heap. He had lain with many women, numbering more than his wives. It was even said that he had kept company with a man from Sodom known as Epstein the Onanite.
But Donald was anointed by God to lead the Chosen People out of the slavery into which they had fallen under the wicked rule of the house of the Democrats.
They were led by a man named Obama. Obama was a false prophet. He came out of Africa and had spent years in the wildernesses of the East and the West. He was silver-tongued and worshipped by the Scribes, who falsely proclaimed him the Messiah. But he visited many torments on the people: affordable care, emissions rules, and restrictions on their lending practices. God’s wrath was upon him. So when the Obamaites anointed the wife of a former prophet, the woman known as Hillary, as their next leader, the people rebelled.
Though he faced a vast alliance of the elect, Donald smote Hillary and her cohorts in battle after battle, and with a single blast of his trumpet brought down the Blue Wall of the Middle West, their great fortress.
For four years he ruled the people with justice and goodness. He smote all the tribes of the enemy—the Obamaites and the Clintonians, the Wokeites, the fake Scribes and the RINOs and the spies of the deep state. He brought...

I had to click the WSJ to verify this satire was actually posted on the WSJ and not the Babylon Bee.
I really wouldn’t mind reading the remainder of this, but have NO interest in subscribing to any mainstream media, even the WSJ!
This is nasty and not funny. Shows how unserious Gerald Baker really is.
There arose from the sea a beast with seven heads. Each head had an acronym name like FBI, CIA, FISA, DOJ, NSA, NGO, and USAID. One of the heads had a fatal wound because all thought the FBI was dead.
And the beast was given the power to slander against the Trump with lawfare without repercussion. And the beast engaged in warfare with Trump's followers who refused to worship the beast.
Those who refused the symbol of the beast were put in prison with weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is the symbol of the beast: January 6.
I love President Trump, but if he had even a scintilla of the ability to laugh at himself, we might be a bit better as a country. Also if he slept a little more instead of firing off vengeful all-caps posts at 3 am at perceived enemies or anyone who criticized him.
Sorry I’m not gung ho about blowing up Iran as much of FR seems to be.
There’s plenty to label Obama a false prophet, but restrictions on lending per se is not one of them:
(from copilot.ai)
Core Lending Restrictions in the KJV Bible
1. No charging interest (usury) to fellow Israelites
The Mosaic Law forbids charging interest—especially to the poor.
“Thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.” (Exodus 22:25, KJV)
This principle emphasizes compassion over profit, ensuring lending does not become exploitation.
2. Restrictions on taking collateral
Collateral was allowed, but with strict protections for the borrower’s dignity and survival:
Lenders could not enter a borrower’s home to seize collateral.
If the borrower was poor, essential items (like a cloak) had to be returned by sunset.
These rules appear in Deuteronomy 24:10–13 and ensure fairness and humane treatment.
3. Mandatory debt release during the Jubilee
Every 50th year, debts were forgiven and land restored.
This prevented perpetual poverty and generational debt traps.
Just like Garrison Keillor.
And the rider of the beast was named George Soros.

Dems like to play they are ‘so reverential’ they were appalled by the meme they claimed was Trump posing as Jesus (he wasn’t) but this shows that is not so.
They are so Sanctimonious.
Sanctimonious is an adjective that describes someone who is hypocritically pious or morally superior to others, often pretending to be more ethical than they actually are. It originally referred to genuine holiness but has evolved to imply a “holier-than-thou” attitude.
If I called it that, he probably wouldn't have known what I was talking about.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Was the debt forgiveness in the Jubilee year always enforced? It seems like it would be hard for a poor person to get a loan in the years just before the Jubilee year since the lender would have little hope of getting the money back.
Good post.
Its easy to see from previous articles, he is trying to use satire to ridicule JD and Trump
If only the FBI were past.
The ridicule is of JD. Trump is targeted with parody. JD is a sanctimonious grifting opportunist who can’t even get his choice of religions correct. Say I whose ancestral homeland is Jackson, KY.
Now JD is foisting his even more ridicule worthy acolyte, Vevi, on Ohio. Ohio may have to vote for Acton to rid themselves of these two. Only JD and Vevi could turn Ohio blue.
