By Selwyn Duke “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God,” famously says Matthew 5:9. Perhaps not saying it, however, is Pastor Steve Caudle of Greater Second Missionary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. After all, “No one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary,” he told a congregation Sunday, indulging anti-Trump-administration…

By Selwyn Duke Ah, the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. Starbucks-drinking, video-game-playing, iPhone-pecking non-workers of the world unite! Or something like that, anyway.
