“But wait! There’s more! (for $1,000)” he says.

I don’t know what Baptist News Global is in the great scheme of things, but Mr. Wingfield really sees her for the con and grift she's selling ( “seven supernatural blessings” — for $1,000) and doesn’t spare the actual quotes from the actual Bible.

She bases her promise of seven blessings (for the gift of $1,000) on Exodus 23, which ironically begins with these words: “You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with the wicked to act as a malicious witness. You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing; when you bear witness in a lawsuit, you shall not side with the majority so as to pervert justice.”
And then states this in verse 9: “You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”
White and her team of spiritual advisers have endorsed and blessed Trump as he lies and seeks to have judges impeached if they cross him, and as he rounds up legal immigrants for deportation and imprisonment.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is seeking to cut benefits for the poorest Americans…

I think this is my favorite part:

But wait, there’s more!
With your gift of $1,000 or more, White will send you a 10-inch-high Waterford cross, plus some devotionals and an “olive wood communion set from the Holy Land.”
That special set “contains unleavened bread and grape juice from the Holy Land, two beautiful olive wood communion cups” and a booklet, her advertisement says. With these items in hand, “you can join Paula in taking communion…”

Waterford crystal cross, olive-wood cups, and Holy Land Passover Matzoh. And grape juice. What —Paula couldn’t even spring for some Manischevitz wine?
