Ambush

The degree to which the U.S. media is merely a “subsidiary” of the American political left was on full display last night. Donald Trump had to debate Kamala Harris, as well as ABC News moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir.

Below are examples of the lies and half-truths by Harris that they totally ignored, while they “fact-checked” former President Trump at least seven times. Adding insult to injury, the fact checks were wrong!

Harris Claims: Trump wants a national abortion ban.

Fact: He has repeatedly said that since Roe has been overturned, the issue should be decided at the state level. It is Harris who wants a federal ban on the “right to life.” She has endorsed federal legislation that will nullify pro-life laws in 20 states.

Harris Claims: Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.

Fact: In January 2021, unemployment was 6.4% lower than the 10% it hit under Barack Obama.

Harris Claims: There are no U.S. active-duty troops in any combat zone anywhere around the world for the first time this century.

Fact: U.S. troops are deployed in Iraq and Syria and have frequently been attacked by Iran sponsored militias. Sailors serving in the Middle East are regularly under missile and drone attacks from the Houthi terrorists, also supported by Iran.

Harris Claims: Trump wants a 20% sales tax.

Fact: This is a complete lie. He does not support a sales tax. He wants tariffs on foreign countries that have high tariffs on U.S. made products. His goal is to force those nations to treat U.S. manufacturers fairly. If they lower their tariffs, we will lower ours.

Harris Claims: Trump threatened a “blood bath” if he is not elected in November.

Fact: He used the phrase “blood bath” to clearly describe the damage that would be done to the U.S. car industry if Biden or now Harris wins the election. The context is absolutely clear, yet Harris repeats this lie over and over.

Harris Claims: Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “really fine people.”

Fact: This lie has been debunked dozens of times, even by the liberal Washington Post.

Harris Claims: Trump plans to implement the ideas in Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation project.

Fact: The project has some good ideas, but it is not Trump’s second-term agenda, which he has made clear multiple times.

Harris Claims: Trump promised to be a dictator on day one.

Fact: Complete lie! I was watching the interview that this quote was taken from. It was said with sarcasm in a joking back and forth with Sean Hannity on Fox.

Harris Claims: Trump has disparaged our fallen troops. This is a reference to the false claim that Trump, at Normandy, called World War II dead soldiers “suckers & losers.”

Fact: A complete, disgusting fabrication. Every person traveling with Trump at the time said it was false. Yet Biden, and now Harris, repeat it. In fact, both Biden and Harris have disparaged our military with their disgraceful treatment of the Gold Star families of the American heroes who died during the ill-conceived retreat from Afghanistan.

Never Forget

It’s hard to believe this is the 23rd anniversary of the horrific attack on the United States by Islamofascists on the morning of September 11, 2001.

As many of you know, our offices are just down the road from the Pentagon. On the morning of 9/11, I was sitting on I-395, stuck in traffic on my way into Washington, D.C., across from the Pentagon when it was hit. I heard the roar of the jet engines and my vehicle was rocked by the force of the explosion.

Osama bin Laden was motivated to attack the United States for various reasons. One of which was his conviction that America had become so decadent that a single attack could push us over the edge into total collapse. Like many of America’s past enemies, bin Laden and his jihadist army underestimated us.

However, more and more Americans, myself included, believe we are headed toward a collapse if we continue to abandon the biblical foundations of our country, the Judeo-Christian worldview of our Founding Fathers and the God who gave us liberty.

The moral decline of our culture and the corruption within our own government have grown dramatically over the past 23 years. One sad example of our dramatic cultural decline is the shocking explosion of overt antisemitism in America today.

The Hamas sympathizers in our streets and on our university campuses, chanting calls for the destruction of Israel, are ideological allies of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

How did the enemies of Western Civilization become so bold in America just two decades after 9/11? It happened because of feckless politicians who were unable or unwilling to proudly defend American values. It happened because of stupid, practically suicidal, immigration laws that are literally importing hate into our country.

Meanwhile, every day it becomes more and more difficult to ask God to bless America when our own government is often at war with God’s word and when fewer and fewer Americans are blessing God.
