Thank you for this strange post.

”PatriotTakes” is an activist whose purpose is “to monitor and expose right-wing extremism and other threats to democracy.”

Their posts are on various social media platforms.

Do they tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? People who have abandoned God are not necessarily trustworthy.

Blessings.

I saw this today and wonder if it is real? Does anyone know? If it is, it's awful. View attachment 58450

While I think the goat statue is in poor taste....an artist did it to auction off to benefit a charity that fights human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children.

From the following link:
The Project G.O.A.T. (Global Organization Against Trafficking) about page explains that the goat sculptures are all unique and are auctioned off "to spread awareness to fight and prevent human trafficking & sexual exploitation of children."


Years back Los Angeles had artists decorate Angel statues and auctioned them for charity.

Jesus said that you either serve God or you serve mammon, you cannot serve two masters. What you need to notice is that Mammon is a master that is in opposition to God.

It's very ironic to have Trump's name on a goat that is supposedly going toward fighting something he himself is involved in. I highly doubt that organization is what they say they are.

I was listening to President Trump on YouTube last night.

He seems so genuine...he said that God saved him from death, so that he can make America great again!!

He sounds like a man of his word...Praise God..for your President “ Donald Trump “....I think the majority of Americans are “ delighted “....

Yes, the majority is very happy.

About the goat art piece...that was the artist's choice to decorate it that way for the charity auction.

Thanks to all for clarifications.

Speaking of questionable works of art: the National Endowment for the Arts has a budget of $36M (taxpayer dollars). Not clear how much of that, if any, funds the substantial number of staff (rivaling in size many city councils of American towns).


Anyone know of examples funded by the NEA? Anyone have a guess what its art projects promote?

Peace.

Trump, nor any government agency, are going to support any efforts to end human trafficking when he has done nothing to end the current, ongoing governmental trauma-based mind control projects ...not in his first term, nor the present term. This is for public consumption. What they do behind the scenes is 100% opposite. Take it or leave it. I have seen it, experienced it, and know many who have and are. These organizations "find" victims because they already know where the victims are (bc they are the front faces and in league with the ones doing the trafficking. They'll "find" the victims, publicize it so you and everyone think "how amazing, how wonderful what they're doing." Then those children are moved to the next customers. Easy.

Yes, they purposefully and gloatingly put fake money on it with the phrase "In Trump we trust." That says A LOT! I wouldn't want anything to do with it .... Trump may be some people's "god" but he is not GOD ALMIGHTY.

Only an evil heart can find human trafficking and MK Ultra funny. This is very concerning.

Like I already said...I think the goat statue is in very poor taste. However, it was the artist who choose to do that artwork that way. Perhaps that artist did it deliberately knowing it would be offensive.

No, I don't know when the auction is or how much it might raise.

What would you do, @Debp, if someone lifted you to the place of God? I know what I would do. I'd tell them to take my name off it, put a scripture verse on it ....and it wouldn't be a goat, either!! The whole thing is creepy and deceptive.
