"Unfinished Work," Dec. 14 Private Eye
I loved, loved, loved John Saltas' piece on Mike "Weasel" Lee. It amazes me that the people of this state voted him into office again.

Lee has boasted about doing away with Social Security, which I have paid into since I was 15, and I now live on—barely.

I understand Lee was the one who introduced the "Kraken" lawyer Sidney Powell to Donald Trump's team. Lee also didn't want to certify the election of our President Joe Biden. Hopefully, he will pay for that!

I believe in unions, for they protect the workers. "Right to work" is a joke—who the heck came up with that? A Republican, probably.

I have been a lifelong Democrat!

Absolutely! Mike Lee is disgusting. He's a parasite; he is a blight on Utah. Impeachment material!

Trumpism Fundamentalists
Christian fundamentalists bewilder me,
Their devotion to Trumpism is hypocrisy.
What is the attraction for white evangelicals?
More psychology than their theology mystical.

Common tenets bind Trump and fundamentalisms,
Devoid of compassionate Christian value truisms.
"Certainty," "ferocity" and "solidarity."
They share in challenge to our democracy.

Certainty, arrogant without doubt, self-righteousness,
Ferocity, cruel behavior, other's "evil" to suppress.
Solidarity, devote loyalty for the "true cause."
For our nation prayerfully, an unfortunate pause?

Scripture tells us beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing,
For both our politics and religion, a dire warning.
