🎼I’m going off the rails on the Gravy Train...

Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s sermon to President Trump during an inaugural prayer service, coupled with her church’s advocacy for humanitarian immigration programs, reveals a striking hypocrisy — one that could be seen as self-serving and even a conflict of interest.
That’s because the federal contracting arm of the church, Episcopal Migration Ministry (EMM), is paid to bring in people on resettlement programs that Trump has temporarily paused and targeted for re-evaluation.
EMM budget figures for 2024 are not available yet, but in 2023 it earned $53 million from various taxpayer-funded government programs to resettle 3,600 individuals.
Unlike everyday immigrants, these new arrivals receive government assistance and, most importantly, are immediately eligible for all forms of welfare, such as Medicaid and cash assistance, on the same basis as a US citizen.
Further, they can immediately sponsor friends and relatives under a recent Biden expansion of the refugee resettlement program.
Since EMM’s ability to lobby is restricted, the Episcopal Church itself, being a separate legal entity from EMM, lobbies in D.C. for more programs that benefit EMM.
EMM brings in LGBTQ refugees and asylees in a special federal refugee program started during the Obama administration called “Preferred Communities.”

Oh, look, another criminal.
I still want to know who chose her?
I’m guessing the world enslavement forum.
Pronto.
strip every US taxpayer dollar from that hateful lesbo
🎼I’m going off the rails on the Gravy Train...
The rest of the story.
She looks like the Harry Potter version of DNC Vice Chair, Little Davey Hogg Boy.
Wiki is showing Hogg as an activist, and politician, now. Harvard, DNC...he’s being groomed for something. Florida’s 25th Congressional District, maybe?
Now that is a very interesting thing.
Truth is racist.
Wicked communist using the pulpit and given over to evil spirits of LGBT and using Saul Alinsky tactics and rule # 4.
Same as Tim Walz had attempted to use during the VP debate.
That is one evil looking “”bishop””.
Sounds to me as if this was a RICO operation, and all involved in it should be prosecuted.
Catholic Charities too. :(
It appears the gravy train has many passengers.
The dying Episcopal Church has no business bringing illegals into the USA, with preference for gaysbians and trans!
Deport all illegals! Deport LGBTQ illegals first!
