Hillary Clinton Likens Elijah Cummings To The Prophet Elijah At Late Congressman's Funeral
[Daily Caller] Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton likened former Democratic Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings to the Old Testament prophet Elijah during the late congressman’s Friday funeral service in Baltimore.

Clinton noted that it "is no coincidence" that Cummings and the prophet’s name means "the lord is my God," in Hebrew.

He "used the power and the wisdom that God gave him to uphold the moral law that all people are subject to because of all people are equal," she continued.
He was a partisan hack that abused power for greed (see: "Wife"), corruption, and didn't do jack shit for his shithole district.
"Like the prophet, our Elijah could call down fire from Heaven, but he also prayed and worked for healing. He weathered storms and earthquakes but never lost his faith. Like that Old Testament prophet, he stood against corrupt leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel." (RELATED: President Trump Honors Elijah Cummings)

"He looked out for the vulnerable among us. He lifted up the next generation of leaders. He even worked a few miracles," Clinton added. "He kept reminding us, life is no dress rehearsal. The American people want to live their lives without fear of their leaders, and as leaders, we have a responsibility to keep the promises made when running for office to make the lives of Americans better."

#3 ...Hilary! lecturing on Scripture makes me wonder why a Divine lightning bolt or twelve didn't come down from Heaven right then and there.



Unless, of course, He has something far more entertaining in mind.

Pastor: All rise. "But it's not a shithole."

Pastor: "But it's not a shithole--have mercy on us
Congregation [mumbling]: But it's not a shithole--have mercy on us.
Pastor: Amen.
Congregation [with relief, forcefully]: Amen.

#9 M. Murcek, with Arkenside and all her attributes she's going to reside in the 7th circle or lower. Dante doesn't see a place for her with a bible or saints on call.

Timing is everything. And just because it was reported in The Bee doesn't mean it won't happen.
