As the 117th Congress is in the process of being sworn-in this week, former Mayor of Long Beach, California, and now Congressman-Elect Robert Garcia has confirmed that he will be swearing not only on the Constitution, but also a photo of his parents, his citizenship certificate, and an original Superman #1 comic that has been appraised to be worth around $5 million.
Garcia made the announcement on social media, confirming that this comicbook is courtesy of the Library of Congress.
Will be proudly sworn-in to Congress on the U.S. Constitution. Underneath the Constitution will be 3 items that mean a lot to me personally. A photo of my parents who I lost to Covid, my citizenship certificate, & an original Superman #1 from the @librarycongress.
While many comments were positive others criticized the move, Garcia responded with:
For all of you upset that I still read comics and suggesting that I need to do more serious reading…..um…….anyone who understands comics knows that comics are an essential part of American fiction. And the lessons learned are invaluable. It’s serious s***.
‘Garcia serves as a U.S. representative for California’s 42nd congressional district and served as the Mayor of Long Beach, California from 2014 to 2022. He was the city’s youngest and first elected Latin American and openly LGBT mayor in Long Beach’s history,’ IGN noted.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[8] Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. [9] Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; [10] And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? [11] Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 7:8-11
Another sign of the times and canary in the coalmine as to just how far this once blessed nation has fallen, and has turned into a laughingstock – that we now have a puppet politician who is now swearing an oath on a comicbook of a made-up idol.
I don’t know if this would be considered a “hot take,” but in a weird fashion I guess I’d rather see this than to have this loser place his hand on the Bible, and pretend that he’s going to live by the precepts of it, only to turn around and do everything the word of God condemns and calls abomination. Hopefully you get what I am saying…
[4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. [5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. [6] Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? [7] For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. [8] If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they. Ecclesiastes5:4-8
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

At least he’s being more honest swearing on Superman rather than the King James Bible, because he’s just another crooked politician – democrat or Republican it hardly matters, they’re both crooks that work together and they bash each other on TV but it’s more fake and scripted than Wrestlemania.
Americans have rejected the King James Bible not only for satanic PerVersions from the Vatican, but also to put their trust in Superman during the 1930s and onward passed the 1970s, he’s an idol, and they marvel and wonder why America has deteriorated into the mess it’s in?
Can’t separate a fool from his folly, or a master of craft from his teaching mythology leading men into bondage, not realizing he’s as bound as those he masters, often more so: the deceiving & being deceived: both bound for judgment barring repentance. The so-called ‘comics’, movies, sitcoms, video games….all teach the same antichrist garbage, & now the cloak is coming off. Out of the wardrobe….the closet.
He won’t swear on the Bible because it will burn his hand, now that would be great.
It probably would, lol.
The people of America are wicked and have rejected the King James Bible, so likewise, God gives them leaders who are also wicked and they won’t touch the King James Bible with a 10 – foot pole.
