Tuesday Reads

One of the "big guests" of The Jim Bakker Show is this "messianic Jew" (read fundie Christian convert who was brought up in the Jewish faith) and has penned a bunch of bestselling books geared to the religious right.  He peddles the same old shit that other crackpot guests on Bakker's show spew including how Trump was "called by God" to lead.  It is all horseshit and probably a big chunk of it plagiarized from other sources.  This guy, with the apt last name of Cahn, was the subject of a lengthy New York Times article a few months ago.   Here is a snip about this crackpot:

He also has political aspirations. Mr. Cahn speaks at events in Washington alongside conservative standard-bearers like Michele Bachmann and James Dobson, where his portrayal of America as a cultural battleground falls on sympathetic ears. In 2016, he even addressed a United Nations gathering. Mike Huckabee, the Fox News commentator and former governor of Arkansas, once introduced Mr. Cahn as “soul-stirring and stunning, spellbinding.”

Mr. Cahn likes to say he is surprised by his own success, preferring supernatural explanations. When speaking, he begins slowly but picks up pace, almost falling over his words with excitement. He also has a flair for the theatrical tale. Lounging in a back office at the church, surrounded by framed paintings of biblical landscapes, he sprinkled enchanted anecdotes in conversation.
