Copies of the Donald Trump-endorsed God Bless the U.S.A. Bibles currently being distributed in Oklahoma classrooms are missing amendments 11th to 27th, according to a report.
The Trump Bible uses the King James text, takes its name from the patriotic country song by Lee Greenwood, and also includes the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance as additional content.
However, the version being introduced in the Sooner states schools will not enable students to learn about the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, or the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two terms in the White House

As the Mueller Report. But not near as many as the Epstein files will have.
Believe what we allow you to, and only what we say.

incomplete material from our founding documents.
Maybe it is time to consider something different. An idea that i have previously not agreed with.
Maybe some states are pulling away.
Now I will be looking for similar type shit

"The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies".
