House of Trump 2 Inherit The Wind




Just turned on a rerun of Night Court, Mush Mouth came on in the Rose Garden rambling BULLSHIT in his full length bullet proof overcoat, the one he wore to Bush 41's funeral in Washington National Cathedral, the one he wore all the way to his seat in the Cathedral full of enemies, to the front row and handed it to an attendant like he was in some fucking NYC nightclub full of drug addicted billionaires.


When was the last time an American President even in winter would address the PRESS in the Rose Garden wearing an overcoat? Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy? The MAN is afraid of the PRESS. The bully is afraid of everyone he has bullied. Major time PARANOIA. Time for the 25th Amendment from a non-corrupt Cabinet.


Proverbs 11:29 ~~ Fools who cause trouble in their own land won't inherit a thing. They shall inherit the wind.

Cohocksink Church Philadelphia - Inherit the Wind

While doing some history research I ran into an image of a distant church spire circa 1910 with a view from 10th Street and Columbia (Cecil B Moore) Avenue in Philly.

("Cohocksink" - a Lenape Indian word for "pine lands".)




I found an image of the original church which looked much more exotic from the distance.


It had a troubling historic footnote, mired in race relations in the changing urban landscapes of 1900 America.

Presbyterian Churches in Kensington
In 1890, Cohocksink was one of the large churches in North Central Philadelphia, reporting 696 members, and 544 pupils in its Sunday school. Ten years later it had lost half of its membership, and continued to decline for the next 15 years. As members moved away because of racial change in the community, leadership and financial resources dwindled, and internal strife further weakened the congregation. In 1915 the church asked the Presbytery of Philadelphia to dissolve it. The congregation's lingering resentment toward those they blamed for bringing its fellowship and ministry to an end found expression in this provision of its petition: "We favor and support the transfer. . of the property. . . to the Trustees of Presbytery, the church building to be sold by them. . . (but not to a colored church or organization)." Proceeds from the sale of the property were placed in a Cohocksink Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund, with income designated for the support of needy Presbyterian churches and missions in Philadelphia.

Which leads to the present day site of a once great congregation.
