What I am going to say will possibly irritate some, maybe many.  However, I cannot refrain from offering my two cents based on my beliefs biblically, constitutionally, and personally.  If you find it objectionable, then hold tightly to your views.  You are welcome to voice your opinion, but if you respond here, I ask that you remain civil; otherwise, please refrain from commenting.

I consider a person’s Facebook page or any other social media medium equivalent to their home.  I would not come into your home and lash out vitriolically.  It is your home, and I respect that.  If I disagreed with your approach or lifestyle, I would extricate myself and move on.  I would not condone it, but I would not be abusive.

Now, I will discuss what I feel I must address.  I will address those identifying as ‘Christians’ in this, but it also applies to others.  The reason I feel the need to address this issue is that reports are that there are supposedly ninety million Christians in America, and approximately fifty-five million either do not vote or are not registered to vote.  I consider that a tragedy.

In my 70-plus years on the planet and over 50 years in the ministry, I have concluded that many people “Like to Gripe but Don’t want to do what is necessary to fix the problem.”   They don’t want to get their hands dirty with the difficulty of dealing with hard, complex, and controversial issues. They just ‘Gripe,’ blaming everything and everyone but themselves.

If you do not vote, you have no right to complain.  Think about it before you heat up the oil to boil me and the feathers to cover me.  If you do not participate in the potential solution, how can you complain when nothing good transpires?  You had the opportunity to be a part of the decision but opted to take the easy road, abdicate personal responsibility, and let others decide.  After the fact, you become vocal, complaining about the situation. 

In my study of American history, I have noted that Christians and Churches were actively involved in the political process during the Revolutionary period and long after. Many pastors in those days preached what they called “Election Day Sermons,” advising their congregants of the issues and even suggesting how they should vote.

I am not ashamed to tell people how and why I will vote a particular way or for a specific candidate.  I attempt to deal with the issues, reflect on the track records, and consider the policies and the party platform.  I then vote for the candidate or party whose track record, agenda, and policies most closely align with my biblical values.  Hopefully, my values are biblical, not personal preference and bias.

If those of us who are Christians or profess to be do not become involved and, at a minimum, vote, how can we consider ourselves obedient to the faith?  The Bible nowhere teaches a live-and-let-live attitude that condones or accepts everything.  The Bible calls us to come out from among the world and be separate.  We are not to be isolated hermits but committed to the principles and precepts of the Bible.  Our lives and our votes should correspond with the tenets of the Bible.

Before you explode and argue that if I vote for a person with a flawed character, I cannot be following biblical precepts, remember that God frequently used ‘flawed people’ to do some incredible and good things. Since none of us are perfect, let him, who is without sin, cast the first stone. Otherwise, move past the personalities to the policies and evaluate how those policies align with or contradict the Bible.

I read a quote that resonated with me, “No nation will thrive because of the righteousness of a leader but will thrive because of the righteousness of the policies promoted by that leader.”  I contend that if we vote for personalities rather than policies, we err and endanger the Republic. I suggest that many things considered secular have a biblical foundation and importance. 

We need judges who honor justice, integrity, morality, and the Constitution and value human life.  Without borders, there is no nation, and we endanger the legal citizens.  I stand with Israel because God does.  I believe in marriage between one man and one woman because God does.  I believe in religious liberty, espoused in the Bible and the First Amendment.  I believe in the family because God places heavy emphasis on the family and parental responsibility in developing and training the children.  I believe in the value of human life because God does.

When I hear people like Hakeem Jefferies issue a text or statement immediately after the second attempt on Donald Trump that “We must stop the MAGA.” I cringe, but he and we know that kind of rhetoric promotes more of the same thing as the two would-be assassins.  Then Hillary Clinton declared that Donald Trump was a danger to America and the world; I cringed knowing that incendiary rhetoric laced with hate, paranoia, and fear has only one logical result.

So, if you ‘Like to Gripe’ but are unwilling to be involved in solving the problem or voting, I ask, “Could that be part of the problem.”  Could your unwillingness to vote be a backdoor vote for everything currently wrong?  I believe that our personal preferences regarding personality must become subordinate to what is Constitutionally, morally, and biblically correct. 

I ask that you evaluate (honestly) this year’s presidential and compare the past four years with the previous four, and if you can honestly say that your economic situation, your freedoms, and life are better now than under the previous administration, then vote accordingly.  Most of us cannot say that.  I do not want hype; I want action.  Therefore, based on my reflection on the two administrations in question, my biblical view, and my desire to preserve the Republic, I will vote No on Kamala Harris and Yes on Donald Trump.  Not because I think the GOP is without fault, but the Left is far worse, in my view.

Please pray, examine the facts, not the rhetoric, and vote!   If I refuse to be involved in a matter, I offer no opinion on that matter.  Some have asked me, “What are you hearing in your spirit about this election?”  The same thing I heard in 2020, “It’s up to you!”    The “you” in that equation are all of us who believe in God.  If we pray and vote, we can have God’s desire.  If we do not, then evil will prevail.  The ball is in our court!

God bless you, and God bless America! 

I have thought a lot about my title question.   What is it that the Leftist, Globalist, Marxist, Socialist, and WOKE advocates that make up the Democratic Party are truly afraid of if they lose?  What is their primary concern if the Left is no longer calling the shots in the American Government?  Do you have an answer?  I have an opinion that I would like to share.

I believe that one of the significant reasons the Democrats and liberal, left-leaning, RINO Republicans hate Donald Trump so much is “Fear of Exposure.”  I can hear someone say, “It can’t be that simple.”  Maybe not, but that is one of the primary reasons they hate him and are hell-bent on keeping him out of the White House.  I believe they will do whatever they deem necessary, including another assassination attempt to achieve that goal.

The Democrats, the MSM, and the nominee of the Left insist that Donald John Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy.  I will not delve into the fact that America is not a direct democracy but a Representative Republic.  It is a pet peeve for me and an irritant when people talk about “our democracy.”   It screams their lack of understanding of our system of Government.  But that is another topic for another time.

A current great threat to America’s existence as a Constitutional Republic is Kamala Harris and her agenda.  I’m quite sure it is not hers, as in she devised it, but hers in that she is the presumptive leader of the party now. 

Her policies, as announced, neuter our Constitution, disregard its provisions, and will effectively transform the Republic into a despotic authoritarian tyranny.  The likes of people like former Vice President Dick Cheney suddenly morphed from being viewed as a despised ‘war criminal’ to the Left’s best friend when he denounced Trump and threw his support behind Harris.  The scorn of his daughter and his true stripes have sent him over the edge to the enemy’s camp.   He said, “In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”   Mr. Cheney, you are not only misguided, but you are also delusional and wrong!

Several things are a paramount threat to our Republic and system of Government, and Trump is not the problem, but Harris and the Left are.

What About Freedom of Speech—the First Amendment?   If you do even cursory research, you will quickly discover that since Trump’s surprising victory in 2016, the media and various arms of the federal Government have launched a massive censorship campaign to silence speech they do not like.  Trump opposed and opposes that effort; Harris did and does not! 

Kamala Harris’ record indicates she is the enemy of that most fundamental right— “Free Speech.”  During her failed primary run in 2019, she pressured the then-CEO of Twitter to de-platform Donald Trump.  She attempted to justify her actions weakly, but they did not pass the smell test.

What about the Supreme Court?    The Biden-Harris administration and the Left want to render the court meaningless.  They have floated trial balloons such as packing the court and ignoring the court and will intensify those efforts if she wins.  She wants term limits and told the New York Times that she was ‘absolutely open’ to packing the court.

What about our National Sovereignty and Border Security?  Harris and the Left want “No Border,” and Trump wants a “secure border.”   We have a plethora of documentation of the dangers of allowing the border to become nothing more than an unmanaged sieve or pipeline of illegals.  It is clear that one of their reasons is votes, but an equally dangerous motive is the destruction of the Republic. 

The influx of criminals, mentally insane, terrorists, diseased, and other dangers make it clear that the border must be protected if we are to remain a sovereign nation.  The sleeper cells in existence and the unchecked and unhampered flow of potential weapons and warriors are a direct threat to our Republic.

We could discuss the myriad other things she supports and envisions for America that are diametrically opposed to biblical morality, fiscal sanity, national security, and constitutional protection. I do not see how a person can be a follower of Jesus Christ, a believer in the precepts of the Bible, and vote for the Left at this juncture. That will get me kicked to the curb, but when a party opposes what God clearly opposes and supports what is anathema to the Bible, how can we support them?

I believe everyone has the God-given and constitutional right to have an opinion and express it peacefully, even if it is forceful in tone.  If I disagree, I can choose to debate them, or if I prefer, I can walk away and let them have their time on the stump ranting and lamenting.   The ability to voice differing opinions was one of the things that made America the Great Nation it has been. 

Please pay attention to the records, not just the rhetoric. In this election, please remove personality and personal bias from the equation and vote for what is biblically, morally, and constitutionally right. America is facing an exceedingly difficult time, and only God can help us return to civility and sanity.

God bless you, and God bless America!

I read an article recently that said, “Kamala is good for nothing.”  The author listed three specific areas where she fit that bill or billing.  Her political career is littered with failure after failure, wrong decision after wrong decision, and she has been rewarded with a higher position on the political ladder each time.  That reward is beyond ridiculous, but a reality that is a mystery.

Kamala Harris’ political record is a paradox of failures.  When a respected Black journalist could assert that she had ‘failed up the career ladder,’ it’s hard not to be baffled. Craig J. DeLuz’s statement in the Washington Times is a stark reminder of this paradox. He said, “An elected official with a track record of failure spanning her entire political career has consistently been rewarded with promotions by the left-leaning voters.” 

Kamala Harris, considered the most left-leaning member of the Senate, has achieved remarkably little. Yet, she was catapulted to the Vice Presidency despite her lack of significant accomplishments. This raises a crucial question: do people even care about records and results, or is it all about identity and ideology?

To say she is ‘good for nothing’ might be inaccurate in one respect.  She is obviously good for those voters who want a freebie and are unwilling to work or strive for success.  Those who have adopted the mentality of “let the government take care of me” probably find her very appealing.  Hey, you never bite the hand that feeds you, so you vote and vote for them repeatedly.  Keep the gravy train running!

She is especially good for the myriads of illegals flooding across our southern border. Her giveaways and protection of them must make her very desirable, and they will vote for her. Wait? They cannot vote, right? I am not a betting man, but I ask, “Want to bet?”  Her giveaways can only further damage our economy and increase our nation’s debt, but what is a few trillion among friends, right?

Someone said, “Kamala Harris is a blank slate, a tabula rasa upon which the leftist intelligentsia will scribble hogwash.”  Even Bernie Sanders, the avowed Socialist and Constitution hater of the Left, said, “Harris does not have the courage of her convictions, but will say and do anything to become the first female president.”   Does that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?  It troubles me to the core of my being.

She offers ‘word salads’ without specifics or a real plan to salvage the economy.  She desires to earn votes with taxpayer dollars through her entitlements and giveaways.  She is a threat to our Republic, and her Marxist views are incredibly dangerous to our Freedom.

The idiom that should be noted is “nature abhors a vacuum.”  World leaders such as Putin and Xi are extreme opportunists who desire and are pursuing a “New World Order.”  They envision themselves as the head of that order but are willing to join forces to destroy all resistance.

With a continuation of Biden’s ineptitude, reflecting military weakness and a lack of resolve, the world was more unsafe under Biden and would only get worse under Harris. Trump said he would prevent WWIII, and he might be right. With Harris at the helm, the likelihood of conflict is almost certain. The opportunists who have no fear of America would seize the moment to advance their agendas.

America, we have a profoundly serious decision to make in November, just days away. What we decide will not only impact us now but will also impact future generations and shape the future of America or its demise. I am not saying that if Harris is in the White House, America will cease to exist, but I am saying that her policies will push us to the brink and could push us over the edge.

I cannot vote for a party that advocates virtually everything I consider morally unacceptable.  I cannot vote for a party that advances policies that are in direct conflict with the Bible.  I cannot vote for a party that devalues the life in the womb to the point that they consider it acceptable to snuff out that life even after a botched abortion.  I will vote for Freedom, and that means I will vote NO on Harris and the Democrats!

God bless you, and God bless America!

What is the ‘it’ that I ask to be explained?   Before I answer that question, let me elaborate on a few things, and you will know exactly what I am referring to before I answer the question.

Hate and prejudicial bias are prevalent in America today, and I am not speaking solely of racism.  I am painting with a very broad and expansive brush in that statement.  Hate has permeated virtually every segment of our society and has become a political and legal weapon.  There is no apparent desire by those in the media or politics to fix the problem; it is too useful for their agendas.

I read a poll that indicated that Americans prefer Donald J. Trump over Kamala Harris on every major economic issue.  I did not say some or most, but ‘Every’ major economic issue.  That is very interesting and is part of my title question.

Let me offer a few examples from the polling data, and then we will get to the question:

• Among registered voters, Donald Trump is listed as being fifteen points ahead of Harris on the ability to manage the Stock Market.
• He has a 9-point advantage over her in improving America’s financial well-being and the broader U.S. Economy.
• He is up by seven points on handling the job market.
• He is ahead by six points on managing the cost-of-living crisis, an issue that most respondents said should be the next president’s top priority.

The Biben-Harris administration oversaw the shuddering of many industries, and we are being hammered by higher costs on virtually everything since they took office.  If you actually go to the gas station or grocery store or have to purchase building materials, etc.  You realize that no matter the spin on the economy – Inflation is out of control. 

We are not better off than we were four years ago.  In our personal finances, virtually all of us are in much worse shape than before.  Ronald Reagan’s question when debating Jimmy Carter is relevant today, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”   My answer is, it is not even close – NO, I AM NOT!

Kamala Harris went on The View (Democratic Cheerleaders Show) and admitted that she could not think of one decision Biden made that she would change.  So, much for fixing what is wrong, she wants more of the same, and that is bad news for all working-class Americans who pay taxes. 

She was asked, “Would you have done anything different than President Biden during the past four years?”  That is a valid question for a presidential candidate who insists that on day one, she will fix the problems. How can you fix a broken system if you intend to continue the same policies that broke it? 

Her response is revealing and cause for genuine concern.  She said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.  And I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”  Wait?  What?  You have been a part of the decisions, but I thought you said…   I won’t go into that, but her words are her words; she was a part of the decision-making that has crippled our economy.

She then touted a fictitious statistic that claims to have created 800,000 new jobs around manufacturing.  She claims their administration has created over sixteen million new jobs and over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs.  She also claimed that Black unemployment is the lowest in generations.  That needs to be examined a bit more closely.

The Black unemployment rate, reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was 4.8% in April 2023, but as of August 2024, it has climbed to 6.1%, exactly where it was in February 2020 under Donald Trump.  So, much for that claim.  It is bogus, and she knows it.  But alas, those who drink at the trough of spin will drink it like swill and repeat it.

The manufacturing jobs are a bit skewed and somewhat less than they claim.  However, a historical fact is that the U.S. economy has had thirteen recessions in the past eighty years.  Forty-five months after nine of those recessions began, manufacturing jobs remained below their initial levels, and in the remaining four, manufacturing jobs exceeded their initial levels. 

Trying to hold Trump accountable for the loss of jobs is misleading because most were lost due to the global pandemic and the international decisions made.  Most of the jobs they claim to have created are simply factories ‘re-filling’ jobs previously created under Trump’s watch.  It is not creating new jobs but restoring the lost ones.  But spin is spin, and it is powerful.

Now, to conclude with my question in full.  “If most American voters support Trump more on economic issues than Harris, how is this race even close?”   If, on national security, more trust Trump than Harris, the same question applies.  What is the answer?  I believe it can only be attributed to one thing – Hatred for Donald Trump.  But I believe it goes deeper than that, and it is a misguided view of Republicanism and laden with Entitlementism. 

It seems that many do not care about what is best for America and others; they only care about what they want and how they see things.  If we are voting based on moral character, past, present, or projected, and make it about Trump but exclude Harris, we are misguided and not being honest.  That makes it preference, not facts, agendas, policies, or governance track record, and that is bad news for America.

I only ask that you carefully consider what is at stake and look at four to eight years ago as compared to the past four years.  I ask you to consider our Rights and Freedoms and ask yourself, “How much are you willing to cede to the government to get what you want?”  I want the Constitution to be the Governing Guide for our Republic.  I want the rule of law to be equally and fairly enforced and not used as a political weapon.  I want Freedom, not Tyranny.

God bless you, and God bless America!

I will address the political by addressing the spiritual in America today.  I am not speaking to the other nations of the world or the churches in those nations but to America, Americans, and the American church. 

I have sensed for a long time that trouble is coming to this nation that will completely alter it in the eyes of the world and of those within its borders.  I am not trying to bring a message of fear but one of hope.  I see a parallel between current conditions in America and Israel in Jeremiah’s day. 

I realize that I am opening myself up to severe criticism and may shift how some view me, but I cannot let that concern dissuade me from speaking what I believe I am hearing in my heart. I love America, I love the church, I love God’s people, and I believe there is hope. At the same time, I know that no nation is so important that it is beyond God’s chastisement or judgment.

If a nation becomes so self-important in its mind that it believes it is exempt from God’s correction when evil is prevalent, it lives in the throes of deception and is a prime candidate for major upheaval.  By the same token, I believe the warning, urging, and plea of 2 Chronicles 7:14 that if believers humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face, repent, and return to following God’s precepts, He will respond positively.

I can allow a false sense of security to prevail and believe that no matter what, America will come out on the other side of any difficulty intact and unscathed.  That did not happen to Israel and will not occur to an America that ignores God’s precepts and principles.  If we ignore God’s declared laws or precepts, we will incur God’s chastisement, if not His judgment.  Are we there?  I believe we are on the precipice.

In pre-Babylonian Israel, in Jeremiah’s day, the spiritual leaders believed that God loved Jerusalem too much to allow it to fall into the hands of an enemy.  They were wrong!  They believed they were too important to God’s plan for judgment.  They were wrong!  In the American church today, some are proclaiming that America is too important economically, spiritually, and socially for God to allow her to be subdued.  Without fear of being wrong, I declare that no Nation is too Important or that Important!

God will not wink at sin, and when a nation enacts laws that directly violate God’s biblical and moral precepts, that nation endangers itself. God may not judge us as much as He withdraws His hand of protection and allows us to suffer the consequences of our decisions to violate His precepts. 

I predicted to a congregation over 45 years ago that I saw a time coming in America when God’s people would be forced to trust God for EVERYTHING!   The food on our table, the shelter over our heads, the clothes on our backs, and our very livelihoods would come directly from God through faith.  Our medical care would be, once again, divine.  Our protection would, once again, be divine.  Our very existence would be similar to that of Elijah during the 3 ½ years of drought in Israel.

When a political party embraces ideological views anathema to the Scripture, it pits itself against freedom and against God.  When the most defenseless among us are unprotected, and we deem it a woman’s right to kill that baby in the womb for whatever reason, we have adopted a position that makes the rights of the individual an idol and a virtual god.

Only God has the right to determine when a life ends.  We talk about a woman’s right to her body; what about that unborn baby’s right to its body?  Who is protecting the unborn?  I hear the argument about incest and rape as justifications for abortion.   When did two wrongs make a right?  Was that unborn baby the guilty party in either of those situations? 

I hear about physical conditions as justification to abort the baby.  Was that unborn baby the cause of that condition? I suggest that, as with the man born blind that Jesus healed, the disciples asked, “Who Sinned to cause this?”  Jesus said, “Not the individual or the parents, but it was an opportunity for God’s incredible grace, mercy, and power to be demonstrated.”  

I have heard of abortions being demanded because the child was of the wrong gender or that it interfered with the planned career of the mother.  How is that the unborn baby’s fault?  When did our preference and convenience become paramount? 

I believe that much of the problem in today’s world stems from a complacent church that has adopted a false sense of security.  I am concerned that we do not fear the Living God and are callous in our response to His precepts and commandments.  

America has been a beacon of hope for generations and can be again.  America has been the catalyst for sending the gospel worldwide and can be again.  America has been a system of government where people could pursue Life, Liberty, and Happiness and can be again.  We have a choice in November, and we dare not let complacency or personal preference guide us; we must let God’s Word!

If there were no other issue, abortion would be enough to sway me in my vote.  The lunacy that is embraced today by one party regarding a plethora of things all in direct conflict with the Bible leaves me no option but to vote No on their candidates!   

You vote as you believe. Before you vote, you honestly go before God and ask for His preference.  I ask you to honestly consider the policies and platforms and square them with the Word of God.  If you do that, I believe you will vote according to God’s desire.

God bless you, and God bless America!

The short but to-the-point answer to the title question is, “America Dies Too!” The Declaration of Independence contains a critical but foundational statement: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” 

Likewise, the First Amendment to our American Constitution is vital to remain free.  It declares, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I should not be, but I am amazed at how little most Americans know of the Constitution and how few of those teaching in institutions of ‘higher learning’ accept the document in its original construction and intent.   The First Amendment clearly states that Congress is restricted from passing any law that abridges or infringes upon our Freedom of Religion, Speech, or Press.   Yet, Congress has done just that for decades, and today, we are on the brink of losing many, if not most, of our inalienable and constitutional rights. 

I am not sure which the followers of toxic liberalism want to abridge or rescind first, Freedom of Religion or Speech.   I am not sure those will come before their assault on the Second Amendment and our Right of Self-Defense embodied in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, but I believe that is their objective.  

Both are in the crosshairs of their agenda, as are State’s Rights and our Right to Personal Property.  To those empowered in government, we, the people, are simply tools to provide funds and the manpower to achieve their purposes.  In their view, we are not the owners and overseers of government. 

In 2024 America, I am convinced that it is a virtual impossibility to defend Freedom of Speech and be a Democrat.  I realize that my declaration will make me persona non grata to many, and I will become the target of the followers of the ideology advanced by that political party. 

Sadly, I am sad to say that it is becoming increasingly challenging to find Republican politicians who are strong advocates for Freedom of Speech and our other inalienable and constitutional rights.   The Elitist and Establishment of both political parties appear more interested in protecting the position and place than serving as our representatives and doing our business governmentally.   That presents a plight that I will get to at another time.

I do not support malicious and rude behavior. There is generally no reason for it. It is one thing to hold a view that is offensive to a person who holds a different view, but another to be arbitrarily mean-spirited, rude, and malicious.  

There is no justification for calling for sedition or inciting riots.  Intellectually, factually, morally, ethically, biblically, and constitutionally, arguing a position can be done in the context of civility.  Please understand that I am neither a dove nor a hawk when it comes to war, but if we must fight for the right to be free, we must fight and fight to win.   Never fight for a draw; fight to win!

Just one short generation ago, someone could say, “This is not politically correct,” and then make their remarks knowing it might offend some.  Both sides understood that we had the inalienable and constitutional right to our thoughts and views.   We were free to express them, and others could challenge or reject them. 

Both sides of the political aisle understood the sharp contrast between Communist control of language and speech and the American way of liberty.   The speaker might fully understand that others might take exception to their view, but they knew that they had the God-given right to their personal view. 

In 2024 America and over the past decade or so, if you say something that is deemed by the powers that be “politically incorrect,” you can and may lose your job.  You may find that you are not accepted into a university or a club based on your views.  The Social Enforcers or PC Police are active, and Big Brother is always watching.  Social media records our every word and modern technology our activities.  We are under the microscope continually, and many live with the paralyzing fear of crushing one of the eggshells we are forced to walk on.

Just a generation ago, rather than demanding censorship of the speaker, people would walk away if they found the conversation offensive or unpalatable.   Today, the snowflake world and PC Police want to incarcerate any and all who offend the sensitivities of the liberal left.  

The Leftists are allowed to offend those of us on the other side but demand that we comply and embrace their view or sit in silence.  That is not constitutional or biblical.  That is the view of much of the Left and the majority of the Democratic Establishment.  That is one of the reasons I say it is impossible to be a Democrat and support Freedom of Speech. 

I am old enough to remember the little rhyme we were taught to deal with differences of opinion and name-calling.  “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”  That was considered an important comprehension for entry into adolescence. 

It was viewed as a necessary understanding as we became adults.  We were taught that everyone did not agree, and that was okay.  We were taught that we did not have to retaliate tit for tat and insult for insult.  We were taught that we were not entitled to a life free of offense.  We were taught to Grow Up!

If there is such a creature as a “Free Speech Democrat,” it is time for them to Walk Away from their party and join those of us of all political stripes who support that fundamental and foundational freedom.   If Speech is not Free for everyone, it is Free for No One!  Sadly, many on the Left, some on the Right, and virtually all in the media and academia seem to believe that the First Amendment only protects the modern progressive snowflake mentality and bans anything from conservatives, Christians, and constitutionalists.  That must end!

Another dimension in the fight for Free Speech is being launched by those who do not believe in God or have a skewed view of the Bible.  A Pew Research Poll conducted a few years ago revealed that those identifying as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular religiously increased from 17% to 26%.  That is disturbing to me. 

Additionally, the poll indicated that during that same timeframe, the number of those identifying as Christians decreased by 12%, now around 65%. That is doubly disturbing.  Before the Pandemic Isolation, only 54% attended only a few services annually or less.  I connect the assault on Freedom of Speech to that decline or increase in non-believers in biblical truths and principles.

We are in a war for Freedom, and its prime target is Freedom of Speech. Undoubtedly, it will extend to all our Freedoms, Liberties, and Rights.  We are marching rapidly toward a totalitarian, authoritarian governmental structure where the jackboots of tyranny will suppress us.  If we do not awaken from our slumber and unite, we will not survive.  Mario Murillo and others have said, “Christianity will survive without America, but America will not survive without Christianity.”  I believe that is correct. 

God bless you as you awaken and take your position on the frontlines of battle, fighting for Faith, Family, and Freedom in America. 

Roy, did you say, “Just say no?”   No to what?   No to Kamala Harris!  No to the Leftists, neo-Leninists, Marxists, and Democrats.  No to the fundamental transformation desired by Barack Hussein Obama and those of his ilk.  Someone said, regarding this election, “I would hope that the first woman to be president of the United States of America would be more than a cackling strumpet.”  

It seems that in the Democratic Party, the only requirement is to identify as a woman, with no concern for policy, agenda, morality, or loyalty to the Constitution, the rule of Law, or America. I know that is harsh, but I cringe when people criticize Trump regarding morals and laud Harris as virtuous. Her record on morals, policy, and cognitive ability is not only not stellar but abysmal.

I say no to Harris and the Democrats based on policy, not morality.  Yes, morality is important to me, but we are not voting on a pastor, selecting a Sunday School teacher, or canonizing a saint.  We are choosing a person to lead this nation and hopefully lead it back to some semblance of being a Constitutional Republic that embraces and embodies the ideals of the Declaration of Independence.  Maybe I am asking too much, but I believe my desire is reasonable.

As a U.S. Senator in 2019, Kamala Harris called for removing police from public schools to fight racial inequities.  She advocated this as part of her plan to ‘demilitarize’ schools.  (Her words).   She said, “What we need to do about … demilitarizing our schools and taking police officers out of schools. We need to deal with the reality and speak the truth about the inequities around school discipline. Where in particular, Black and Brown boys are being expelled and or suspended as young as, I’ve seen, as young as in elementary school,” Harris said in 2019 in South Carolina, when she served as a California senator running for president during the 2020 cycle. 

There is evidence that Kamala Harris played a role in the J6 plot.  Her convention speech was saturated with duplicitousness.  She said, “[Trump] sent an armed mob to the U.S. Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers.”  Tap the brakes, please.  Let me set the record straight on a few critical elements of her claim (lie).  The “mob” was unarmed.  Trump encouraged those hearing him to march over to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically” and make their voices heard.  And, just in case you missed it, those at the Ellipse where he spoke did not reach the Capitol until at least an hour AFTER the Capitol had been breached.  

The MSM has become nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party and the P.R. firm for Kamala Harris’ presidential bid.  The blatant ignoring of the southern border, the out-of-control rise in crime, and high inflation bordering on hyperinflation are problematic. The two major wars in progress worldwide, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal where we effectively armed the terrorists and governmental agencies being weaponized targeting political opponents, is a problem. There are many more issues, and Kamala Harris’s potential administration is a major one! But, not according to the MSM. She will fix what she was a part of breaking as though she had nothing to do with it.

One of her party’s arguments is that “She does not need to negotiate against herself,” meaning she should not release her agenda until after the election.   That reminds me of Nancy Pelosi’s insistence that we had to pass the bill to find out what was in it.  NO!  We need to know what we are buying before we buy. 

Representative Ann McLane (D-NH) said, “She doesn’t need to negotiate against herself.  We’ve got the biggest possible tent right now.  I don’t think there’s a real strong reason for her to try to weed out any points of view right now.”  What does that mean?  Let me offer this analysis or interpretation: “She does not need to be specific yet.  It is in the best interest of the Left for her to be as vague as possible so as not to alienate moderate voters.  If she reveals what she really wants to do, the moderates and independents will bail like rats leaving the sinking ship.”

One Democrat told Politico: “They [the voters] have very little knowledge of who she is, what her job has actually been.  They know Trump. They know what his policies are.  They don’t know Kamala.  And so, Kamala has a ton of room right now to define herself.”  That’s the problem: people do not know who she is, what she has done, or what she plans to do.  Anybody who votes for her without knowing those factors is complicit in the destruction desired by the Left.   We need to know America, and once we know, we need to “Just Say No to Kamala.”

The MSM and the talking heads are praising her for policies borrowed from Trump.  They praise her for the same ideas they vilified J.D. Vance for weeks earlier.  The hypocrisy is off the charts, but that is what happens when the MSM becomes the propaganda arm of the Left.

We have a choice in November, and if we make this about personality rather than policy, we will pay an extremely high price for at least four years, if not four decades, into the future.  That is assuming there will be a future.   I do not want to be gloom and doom, but the elections’ consequences have never been more apparent than today.

Join us in fighting for Faith, Family, and Freedom, and let’s see America restored to her Constitutional Republic status. 

God bless you, and God bless America!
