Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 15, 2025]
We are in a spiritual battle for the soul of our nation.
Praying that we can all put on the full armor of God and come together to create something good following the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk.
[….]

Wait, what was MAGA all about?

Just asking.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

You want an army. I want universal healthcare and a living wage for all. We are not the same.

those are democrats socialist ideas. Government will take all of your paychecks and take care of your needs and desires

Well, that settles it. Corporations do that now. Oh, wait…

where do you want your tax dollars spent?
On healthcare in your community or on corporate subsidies and endless wars?
You already know where there being spent now and you’ll argue against helping your own community. Ludicrous.

I thought you were taking a break from social media to cool the temperature?

narcissists need the attention

the nation founded with no state religion?
read your American history Alford

How about you read your Bible.

How about you read your Bill of Rights.

Read your Constitution.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion….”

What is so shocking about this shooting? Is it because people thought this can’t happen to him? Or because he wasn’t a kid in a school?
Let’s be honest here: we aren’t about to do anything about guns, and we will only see more shootings. We all lose, but in the end, God wins. So I guess there’s that.
But MAN do I wonder what might happen if we has less guns, instead of more.
Don’t yell at me, I know that will never happen. 😪

It’s ridiculous that some of you think taking away gun rights will stop EVIL PEOPLE! It’s won’t, no law ever has!

Uh…

but guns are so much more efficient than other weapons. It happens so fast. I have two kids in school, and one who isn’t even in school yet, and I worry about this every day.
But again, don’t come at me, because I know nothing will change. It’s just the price we pay, for your “freedoms”.
I hate guns, and if I could, I would take them all away from everyone.

if there were only some evidence that a reasonable amount of gun control would curb mass shootings… oh wait, there is! The entire rest of the world!
Keep your head buried in the sand.

Same planet, different world:

oh bullshit look at Canada now they took away their guns and now the illegals are there with illegal guns shooting up the place cut me a break

“…The U.S. has the 28th-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world: 4.31 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021. That was more than seven times as high as the rate in Canada, which had 0.57 deaths per 100,000 people — and about 340 times higher than in the United Kingdom, which had 0.013 deaths per 100,000….” How the U.S. gun violence death rate compares with the rest of the world

Let’s look at UK girls and women are getting raped and abused and they can’t even protect himself not allowed to protect himself and if you dare you’re the one that goes to jail somewhere Common Sense went out the door will you people I have 14 grandchildren all of them but two in school so I care about the schools too there needs to be armed guard at schools just like Banks and a lot of other places

oh honey. Turn off FOX, please.

Turning point was Charlie Kirk’s personal ministry.

you mean where he made millions of dollars for himself that kind of ministry?

Grifters gotta grift.

God Bless you Congressman Mark Alford I’ve never seen such an awakening in my life 🕯️God is truly winning✝️Rest in Paradise Charlie Kirk👣

So … over 20 million stripped of health care which means 55,000 people will die every year that don’t have to; $1.3 trillion in SNAP stripped from the mouths of seniors, children, and the poor; 80,000 medical professionals elminated from the VA, which will kill and maim how many vets – all of this Mark Alford voted for and cheerleads on. How “Christian” of you to consider all of these things that will kill people as “God is truly winning”.

JDVance just recited Ephesians 6 and putting on the full armor of God 🙏🏻

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion….”

The Twilight Zone was so prophetic.

Idiocracy (2006) was not supposed to be a documentary.

If you have to keep telling everyone someone was a good man, here is something to ponder.
We know that he wasn’t.

Drop the religion. Religion divides more than it unifies. Even Christians can’t totally agree on one interpretation. No deity required.
Pray all you like, but yes, unity. Harmony.

Mark just doesn’t seem to get it.

Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation…What age should you start to see public executions?
– Charlie Kirk
Ask yourself how you feel about televised public executions. Would you show them to your children?

Why aren’t you THIS frustrated and sad when school children are gunned down?
Your adoration for this person is just really mental. Really, this is sickening.

You sure attract all the godless demonic trolls on your page Congressman Mark Alford

Does your Bible not contain the verses about loving thy neighbor?

Hey, Mark, as Trump says about murdered school children…”we have to get over it, we have to move forward.”
Don’t you always listen to and do what he says?

Maybe condemn Trump’s constant vile rhetoric?

Interesting to claim battle for the soul of the nation when your god in the White House has broken every single one of the Ten Commandments, from adultery, to lying, to coveting, to intentionally killing people needlessly. The idea that Charlie Kirk was a saint could only be believed by someone who holds open racist and sexist views. He literally said Black women like Ketanji Brown Jackson, the SCOTUS Justice with more credentials than any other Justice in history, “lack brain power” and that white men should have had those jobs. He said some gun deaths are “necessary” or “acceptable” in order to keep the 2nd Amendment. You are preying on religious fears and raising someone with MANY flaws to undeserved martyr status. This is unacceptable. Go ahead and mourn him, since you share his views, but he is NOT an example of acting like Christ would have wanted.

Mark maybe you should be spending your time working for your constituents instead of glorifying someone who spread hate. I believe you promised Republicans would lower prices but everything is higher than ever and you’re crickets on that subject. You claim you want to unite but post constantly about a divisive topic several times a day.

The message is definitely not getting through, that’s for sure.

You are acting like he was some sort of prophet. He was just a man who spouted opinions, usually hateful and bigoted. But, you’re ready to canonize him.
WHERE IS THE GRIEF WHEN LITTLE SCHOOLCHILDREN ARE MURDERED????
And, by the way…the HATRED AND VIOLENCE IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE….YOUR HOUSE. MAGAs.

Kirk was filled with hate and divisiveness. Start with those that also hated others.

You nazis celebrating a hater that spews division and white supremacy isn’t getting any of you reelected.

The trick is to hide the armbands and modify the salutes. Usually.

Trumps job as President is to unite this country. He even said so after he won.
But he’s doing the opposite.
Trump is trying to do. january 6 against the left. He’s riling up the nut jobs to attack anyone he doesn’t like.
Trump wants a civil war and the cult will oblige

Alford’s last 6 posts have been regarding Charlie Kirk. Congressman, maybe you should spend a little time working for MO-4.

Alford will milk this all week. Wait and see.

And Kirks view that empathy is a made up woke word.
He never really read the Bible did he?

Read what Kirk the “Christian” said about people he did not agree with. The names he called. The implication that black women didn’t have the mental capacity to do the same job as a white man. The things he said about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
“Christians” do not call other people names or put them down.
“Christians” love thy neighbor and do not seek revenge.

yes they do then afterwards they pray……for forgiveness.

Sir, if I want a sermon I will go to my own pastor for guidance. You were not elected to be a spiritual leader, you were elected to uphold the constitution. Please stay in your lane.
