Noem prays for "hedge of protection" around ICE as they shoot women and zip tie naked kids. She's so SPIRITUAL!

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem prayed for a "hedge of protection" around federal agents while meeting at an official Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

According to MAGA influencer Benny Johnson, Noem began a meeting at the Portland ICE office with a prayer to Jesus Christ.

In her prayer, Noem asked God to give her agency "wisdom and discernment to make the best decisions not just for the people that are here enforcing the law but also for the citizens of this country."

"And Lord, I just ask you to continue to put a hedge of protection around these officers, keep them safe, Lord, but that also that you continue to bless each and every one of them and their families," she continued. "And Lord, that you would protect the freedoms that we all enjoy that we're given to us by you."

The cover may say The Bible, but they swear on "The Prince."

EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE

In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. Here are a few prominent examples:

In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:

A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're
The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.


We can now add to the list D.) were, we're
One is the past tense of the verb "to be" and the other is a contraction of "we are."
In Republicanese, neither may be used in what would be the correct context in English.

Noem meant "were," the past tense of the verb "to be," and so wrote it as "we're," the contraction of "we are." Correct only in Republicanese, meaningless in English.

And decide to become real followers of Christ...
Handing out food, clothes, and shoes to the needy, building shelter for the homeless, helping get the sick and injured to medical aid, treating the prisoner with respect, aiding the stranger to become part of the community - in short, treating with others the mercy and justice they would expect to be treated with if they were in that same situation.
I pray they understand that by acting like scourges and punishers of otherwise harmless "enemies of the state", they will get the same judgements and treatments levied against them for their minor sins.
