She is not a Bishop but a liberal activist parading as a Bishop. I wonder if she will donate all of her proceeds to GAZA?

And now we see ultimately what that screed was all about

That activism in service to the Democrat Party did not go unnoticed. 

Now here comes the payoff as The New York Post reports.

The Episcopal bishop who in January angered President Donald Trump has a deal for two books for young people. Both are based on the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde’s best-selling “How We Learn to Be Brave.”

Penguin Young Readers announced Wednesday that it will release a young adult edition, adapted by novelist Bryan Bliss and titled “We Can Be Brave,” on Oct. 25. The picture book “I Can Learn to Be Brave,” with illustrations by Holly Hatam, is scheduled for the summer of 2026.

This in nothing new. Paying them surreptitiously through USAID for decades has become a source of great wealth for many of them.

I see. Payments being made now as book deals….

Yeah, but who’s going to actually buy the books?

Public libraries will likely account for most sales. A few curious Democrats might put down money if Budde does all the expected talk shows. We know the legacy media can’t wait to trot her out again since they hate Trump.
