Christian Nationalism meets old time graft.

It gets better:

There are two Bibles that meet the Oklahoma bid requirements for 55,000 Bibles to be placed in public schools. They are:

Lee Greenwood's $60 "God Bless the U.S.A. Bible and the $90 "We The People Bible."

Both are endorsed by Trump who presumably receives a cut of the action.

Newly formed Oklahoma Freedom Caucus supports initiative placing bibles in classrooms
...
The caucus said they believe this move will improve educational standards within the state. The state currently ranks 49th in the country for education.

And, of course, there's the usual claim that “The phrase ‘separation of church and state’ is not found in the U.S. Constitution," which ignores the Establishment Clause.

"To call a #Black woman a “Jezebel” hearkens back to America’s #racist & #misogynistic #history of casting Black women as insatiably sexual, which served to justify slaveholding men’s systematic sexual #assault of enslaved #women. But for right-wing white #Christians... to say a woman has a “Jezebel spirit” is also to say she is a danger to them, a barely human being hell-bent on seducing men to their destruction"

When Wallnau calls Harris a Jezebel, then, viewers should understand that he is nodding toward his own dreams and prophecies, his claims to have foretold her coming. Such claims are the currency of the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, a Christian religious and political movement “driven by theocratic notions of total societal dominion, including the end of democracy as we’ve known it,” as leading NAR experts Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné have described it. As within the wider Christian nationalism movement, NAR prophets encourage followers to “think of themselves as soldiers in a cosmic conflict,” as religion scholar and former Christian evangelical pastor Bradley Onishi has said. The stakes here are higher than mere elections; it’s about who prevails in an apocalyptic battle. “When you explain it that way to folks,” Onishi recently told NBC News, “you’re able to prime them, not only for action, but I think for extreme measures.”
