Christians Who Opposed Trump Should Examine Their Hearts After His Week Of Big Biblical Wins

/0 Comments/in , /by

Only 10 days into President Donald Trump’s second term it’s abundantly clear that Christians who opposed his presence in the White House and condemned their brethren for supporting it have some repenting to do.

Never Trumpers spent the last decade weaponizing their faith to demonize Christian Trump supporters. By the time the 2024 election rolled around, they had proudly endorsed the radical, openly anti-Christian Joe Biden stand-in for president. According to them, mean tweets and a bad spray tan were far worse than a regime that made a point out of throwing praying grandmas in prison.

Concerns about Trump’s personal conduct 10 years into his entrance to American politics are simply not a legitimate reason to oppose his presidency — especially when juxtaposed with the Biblical wins his presidential actions have brought. Pretending that his penchant for off-the-cuff commentary and history of failed marriages are disqualifying was always a bad argument because most politicians, especially the Biden and Harris families, are the complete opposite of upstanding, moral folks.

Thankfully for the country, Christian and secular voters alike didn’t buy the propaganda. And because Trump won in November, current people of faith and future followers of Christ are better off. Look at his first week back in the White House for proof.

The Republican kicked off his second administration by freeing political prisoners, including the faithful pro-lifers who were thrown in prison for peacefully worshipping and praying at abortion facilities. He followed that with a sweeping executive order condemning and defunding the forced mutilation and sterilization of children.

The Military That Cried ‘White Supremacy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In retrospect, maybe the military should have spent a little less time worrying about “white supremacists” and paid more attention to black Muslims. As you’ve no doubt heard by now, an Army veteran, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who happened to be a black Muslim, slaughtered 14 New Year’s revelers in New Orleans last week.

For the past four years, the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and President Biden have warned about the looming threat of white supremacy amid constant references to Jan. 6 — but not to BLM, in which police officers actually died. Apart from getting more girls and transgenders into the military, it seems like rooting out “white supremacists” has become the military’s full-time job. (Proposed new U.S. Marines’ slogan: “We’re looking for a few good men … who think they’re women.”)

Biden, repeatedly: “According to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS, not al-Qaida — white supremacists.”

To deal with the crisis, the greatest fighting force in the world scoured the social media accounts of its white troops, in search of “ties to white supremacists or violent extremists.” Considering the vast amounts of truthful information censored from social media under Biden — e.g., about COVID, masking, social distancing, Biden’s senile dementia, Hunter Biden’s laptop — I’d love to see what the military considered evidence of “ties to white supremacists.”

Even before Biden was sworn in, the Pentagon made a big point of announcing that troops guarding the inauguration — especially those who would be close to Biden and Kamala Harris! — would be carefully vetted. (I just hope that crack unit of muffin-topped gals who almost got Donald Trump killed in Butler, Pennsylvania, were available.) (Read more from “The Military That Cried ‘White Supremacy’” HERE)

What Does the 2024 Bible ‘Verse of the Year’ Reveal About Our Culture?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

As the presidential election, economic instability, and foreign wars dominated headlines this year, a significant number of people appear to have turned to the Bible to comfort their anxiety.

YouVersion — the most popular Bible app in the world — named Philippians 4:6 the Bible “verse of the year” after users highlighted, bookmarked, and shared it more than any other verse in the Bible.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God,” the verse, written by the apostle Paul, says.

The words “prayer” and “peace” were the most searched terms in the app this year, reflecting the themes in the app’s top 10 most popular Bible verses. At Bible Gateway — a popular Bible website — the most popular New Testament chapter of 2024 was Philippians 4, yet more evidence that people are searching for comfort in a chaotic and disordered world. . .

Through October 2024, Bible sales had increased 22% compared to the same period in 2023. In the first 10 months of the year, Americans had purchased 13.7 million Bibles. At that pace, total sales for the entire year will far surpass 2023, when Americans purchased 14.2 million Bibles. . .

It’s easy to explain away the Bible sales boom as Americans looking to the word of God for hope and answers to their anxiety. I believe, however, that it reflects a growing realization that postmodern liberalism is a failed cultural experiment.

The Most Politically Absurd Things Americans Had to Endure This Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

Let’s face it, there was more than enough stupid to go around this year.

If 2024 taught us anything, it’s that there is no bottom in matters of the politically absurd. Remember, somebody thought it was a good idea for Joe Biden to debate Donald Trump. Fani Willis thought her deadbeat paramour Nathan Wade was worth every dime. And Kristi Noem believed her Old Yeller moment would be endearing. But then again someone in the Trump transition team thought the dog-killing South Dakota governor and close personal friend of Corey Lewandowski would make a fine Homeland Security secretary, so clearly there’s no accounting for taste. . .

Pelosi Claiming Biden Belongs on Mount Rushmore

After President Joe Biden malfunctioned at the late June debate, top Democrats orchestrated the soft coup that got rid one of the left’s leading obstacle to keeping the White House. Biden, we were told, was graciously stepping aside and “passing the torch” to defend democracy, or some such nonsense. The Democratic Party and the useful idiots in the accomplice media told us how selfless and noble the dementarian was for putting “patriotism above party,” as if they hadn’t just pushed the old man off the reelection train.

California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, whose fingerprints were all over the political hit job, stomped in stiletto heels on Biden’s political corpse as she insisted she had nothing to do with his ouster. More audaciously, The former speaker said Biden’s melon belonged next to Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and the first President Roosevelt.

Shunning Friends And Family For Their Political Beliefs Is An Affront To The Spirit Of Christmas

/2 Comments/in , /by

Every year, various movie versions of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol air on our televisions, reminding us of the importance of putting others first and how Christmas is a time of reconciliation instead of division.

Unfortunately, in modern-day America, we have forgotten that message.

After Donald Trump’s recent election victory, leftist Yale fellow Amanda Calhoun commented on why family members who voted for Kamala Harris should refuse to celebrate the holidays with their friends and family members: “So, if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you … it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why.”

As I write in my recent book, Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream: “This is not new. In the last few political cycles, commentators on the Left openly called for children to confront, vilify, and humiliate any relatives, including parents, who may have voted for conservatives, at family get-togethers such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

Thus, these holidays, when Americans normally put their differences aside to appreciate each other, have turned into a battle royale of angry partisan warfare. (Read more from “Shunning Friends And Family For Their Political Beliefs Is An Affront To The Spirit Of Christmas” HERE)

Signs of the Collapse of Corporate Media Influence Are Everywhere

/1 Comment/in , /by

Within hours of the 2024 election being called for Donald Trump, I published this piece declaring the end of the era of corporate media dominance.

“The Road to the White House no longer goes through 60 Minutes, CNN, Fox News, Meet the Press, the New York Times editorial board, or the cover of Time Magazine,” I wrote. “That road now runs through the Joe Rogan Experience, Breitbart News, New Media, podcasts, talk radio, and social media.”

However, I also wrote that we will never be rid of the corporate media. The propaganda value is worth too much for the massive multinational corporations and billionaires who own these outlets to ever give them up.

Nevertheless, once the affirmative action of carriage fees through pay TV comes to an end (where you are forced to subscribe to a cable/satellite package that includes channels you never watch and those channels still receive an unearned piece of your monthly payment) CNN and MSNBC will no longer be profitable. They cannot survive on merit (advertising fees based on viewers), but they will always be around because soulless liars like Joy Reid, Jake Tapper, Brian Stelter, Nicole Wallace, Rachel Maddow, and Dana Bash do and say what their corporate and Deep State masters tell them to do and say.

Well, so what? Let them talk to each other in their velvet-lined echo chamber of serial hoaxes and intolerance. In the only arena that matters to the corporate media, the arena of influencing, shaping, and manipulating public opinion, they have already lost.

The Lesson Some Leftists Have Learned From Trump’s Win Should Terrify Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

Since Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris last Tuesday, the legacy press has been hosting a public inquest into her demise. Three competing theories soon dominated the discussions — only one of which accepted the reality that Americans rejected the far-left policies and candidate on the merits.

While some Democrats and media outlets took this somber approach to the post-mortem, a second and more vocal segment of the press and Harris voting bloc instead declared that Trump’s election proves a majority of Americans are racist, sexist autocrats. The election of Barack Obama, Harris’ previous victories as a senator and a vice-presidential candidate, coupled with the increase in support Donald Trump garnered from minorities and women, quickly disprove this theory.

After an intense and nerve-wracking election season, these delusional tirades provided the still-sane populace some much needed levity. But Republicans should also note that at least a small segment of the left plans to double down on identity politics and prepare to counter these messages — not merely to protect their electoral victory, but more importantly to return to the pre-DEI unity that reigned supreme in our country until Barack Obama somehow converted his election as the first African-American president into a launchpad for racial divisiveness.

But it is a third theory for Trump’s resounding victory, posited by many on the left, that should cause grave concern to liberty lovers because it forewarns of an acceleration of efforts to control the marketplace of ideas. Here, Harris’ loss was blamed not on the far-left policies and candidate voters rejected or on the supposed racist and sexist beliefs of the electorate, but on voters purportedly being “misinformed” by the right-wing controlled media.

By the end of last week, this theme had flooded the airways and social media. But it was the New Republic’s article, “Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?,” that best capsulated this spin.

Kamala Harris Admits That Everything She Said About Trump Was A Lie

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris admitted on Wednesday that she knew every single attack she launched against President-Elect Donald Trump and his presidency was a bald-faced lie.

More than twelve hours after Trump delivered a stunning blow to the regime and swept both the popular vote and Electoral College, Harris took the stage at Howard University to begrudgingly concede. She could have conceded in the wee hours of the morning, but that would have required showing up when it mattered — something she clearly doesn’t do (see her disastrous handling of Afghanistan).

But it wasn’t her hollow speech about “unity” and “joy” that stood out. It was the moment she openly confessed to spreading egregious falsehoods about Trump for months, all in a desperate attempt to sway the election.

“To the young people that are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed,” Harris said. “But please know it’s going to be okay.” . . .

How can it be okay when Harris told us that her opponent is a fascist? She said a Trump victory would be “dangerous” and a “huge risk for America.” Harris claimed that Trump “wants to send the military after American citizens” and that “he is out for unchecked power.” She painted him as an existential threat to “democracy” itself.

I Was Giddy When the FBI Raided Mar-a-Lago, but Now I’m Voting for Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

By most metrics, I’d be categorized as a young conservative. I am a 22-year-old college student. I interned for a Republican in the U.S. Senate. I was elected president of my former college’s Republican club. No one would mistake me for a progressive activist.

But if you had asked me a year ago about the 2024 presidential election, I would have told you that I was hopeful the Republican Party would move on from Donald Trump. In fact, I would have supported Joe Biden before backing Trump, even though I did not like much of anything about Biden. . .

I eagerly watched the Jan. 6 Committee hearings. I was excited when New York State Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump for financial fraud. When legal scholars from the Federalist Society wrote that the 14th Amendment barred him from the presidency, I was hopeful he might finally be done for good. When the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, I felt justice might soon be served against the man who had brought our country to the brink. . .

But over the past year, my view of Trump has evolved, and my view of the broader political landscape has also changed. It became clear to me that while Trump is far from perfect, he is not the true existential threat. The existential threat we face comes from the Democrat Party and Kamala Harris.

The Democrat Party is endangering the foundations that hold America together. This threat is multidimensional, but no concern is more immediate than the Democrats’ creation and defense of an immigration system that has completely abandoned integration and favors the interests of newcomers over those of the American people.

Let Nothing Stand In Your Way

Barack Obama says he doesn’t “understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter.” He was speaking at a campaign rally in Madison, WI to drum up support for the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. Polls suggest she may need the help in key battleground states like Wisconsin, but it’s not normal for former commanders-in-chief to play such an active role in our political system. But then, as Obama’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning biographer says, Obama is “not normal.” Maybe his character has something to do with how the country he was elected to lead twice became so toxic, divided, and bitter: it’s part of his legacy.

It’s not normal that Obama legalized the nuclear weapons program of a terror state, Iran, that kills Americans and our allies. Nor is it normal that Obama repeatedly divided America between his supporters and others by chiming in with his trademark phrase, “that’s not who we are as Americans.”

It’s not normal that Obama stayed in Washington after his term ended in 2016. Ex-presidents leave the capital to demonstrate that executive authority has been transferred from the outgoing president to the new one, in accordance with the will of the American people that is articulated through our vote. Obama is the first president to stick around since Woodrow Wilson did a century ago. But Wilson suffered a stroke during his presidency. When it was over, Wilson stayed in Washington because he couldn’t be moved. Obama didn’t have a stroke. He just stayed around setting up a shadow White House a mile away from the actual White House. The press rarely mentions that Obama’s decision to stay in Washington is unusual because they don’t want to bring attention to the fact that it’s not normal.

According to former CIA Director John Brennan, Obama ok’d efforts to spy on the 2016 Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump. That’s normal in the third world where totalitarian regimes like Venezuela and Syria put their adversaries under surveillance and charge them with phony crimes to put them in jail. But it’s not normal in America, the oldest democracy in the world.

It wasn’t normal when Obama told Brennan to produce an intelligence finding that Vladimir Putin helped Trump win the 2016 election. That assessment not only undermined his successor’s presidency but also poisoned the country. After all, the apparent purpose of the CIA assessment was to show that Trump was a foreign agent and everyone who voted for him was in thrall to a traitor. It’s not normal for an American president to set Americans against each other and divide the country, but Obama isn’t normal.

It wasn’t normal to signal instructions to a judge to target General Mike Flynn, Board Chair of America’s Future, after the Justice Department dropped all its charges against Trump’s former national security advisor. It wasn’t normal when Obama pushed Democratic governors and mayors to keep their states and cities locked down during the COVID panic of 2020, destroying the economy.

Installing Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate in 2020 wasn’t normal since Harris hadn’t won a single primary vote. And neither was pushing out Biden four years later to replace him with Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate since Harris still hadn’t won a single primary vote. But after all the laws and norms already broken, it doesn’t matter to Obama that the presidency has turned into a ceremonial position. He holds the real power.

In less than two weeks, America has the opportunity to bring the age of toxicity, bitterness, and division to an end. Let nothing stand in your way to cast your vote. It’s time for America to return to normal. (For more from the author of “Let Nothing Stand In Your Way” please click HERE)
