Stand With American Values Now!
There are 15 days until Election Day. As you will read below, everything is on the line.
We’re working overtime to get men and women of faith registered to vote and out to the polls. So much is at stake, and we urgently need your help to succeed.
Please stand with American Values now and DOUBLE your support!
The Final Stretch
We’re 15 days away from Election Day. The 2024 campaign is in its final stretch. The candidates are crisscrossing the country, barnstorming the swing states, allocating resources, and crafting closing messages to symbolize the choice before us.
Donald Trump spent the weekend in Pennsylvania. He was endorsed by a local steelworkers union, which presented him with a hard hat.
Most politicians know to never put a hat on in public because you can’t control the optics and it can look really goofy. Michael Dukakis put a military helmet on and never recovered. Trump proudly put that hard hat on and he looked like he had been wearing it all his life.
Some of the steelworkers were interviewed on Fox News this morning. These hardworking men with rugged voices are losing everything that made the country great. Their jobs are being sent overseas. Their communities are being left behind. Some are lifelong Democrats, but they are voting for Trump now.
What they didn’t say is that if the GOP nominated anyone other than Donald Trump, they’d likely still be Democrats. There is virtually no one, except for J.D. Vance and a few others, in the upper echelons of the Republican Party who understands the political transformation that has taken place because of Donald Trump.
When the Harris campaign was in “joy mode” instead of “Hitler mode,” she was telling audiences about her middle-class upbringing and her time working at McDonalds. But there’s no evidence she ever worked at McDonald’s. Her own family won’t confirm it.
Some might say, “Okay, she probably didn’t work there, so let’s move on.” Not Donald Trump.
He went to a Philadelphia area McDonald’s and turned it into just “Donald’s,” serving French fries to customers and manning the drive-thru window. Thousands of locals turned out to see him.
A young mother pulled up to the window and said, “Mr. President, please don’t let the United States become Brazil -- my native Brazil, please, please.” An immigrant from India pulled up and told Trump he was praying for him.
It was one of the most powerful moments I have ever seen at a McDonald’s drive-thru window!
“Low-Energy Trump”
The Harris campaign is trying to turn Donald Trump into Joe Biden. They’re claiming he’s worn out, tired, and exhausted.
Well, putting the cap on one of his typical 18-hour days, Trump went to last night’s Steelers-Jets NFL game as a guest of the owner. When the cameras panned up to the owner’s box, Trump stood up and waved as chants of “USA! USA!” erupted from the stands.
Tim Walz went to a football game recently, and the fans mocked him. Yet, the polls tell us the election is still a flip of the coin.
Christians Must Vote
I was at a gathering of the James Dobson Family Institute this weekend, hearing from great speakers like Charlie Kirk, Eric Metaxas, and Dr. Dobson himself. I was also honored to address the audience and spend time with God-fearing men and women from all over the country.
There was one theme that every speaker brought up. We are at real risk of losing our country because many church leaders are failing their responsibility to encourage Christian citizenship.
You would never expect Satan to say, “Just preach the Gospel.” But that’s what Satan is whispering into the ears of many pastors and priests. The father of lies is busy taking over America. He’s telling pastors, “Just preach the Gospel. Leave the government and politics to me.”
He wants Christians hiding in their churches, led by some pastors who are saying, “Don’t pay any attention to what’s going on in the culture out there. Jesus is coming soon anyway.”
If America and Israel, the two pillars of Judeo-Christian civilization, go down, the world will sink into another dark age.
No man knows the “hour” when Jesus will return. We are not directed to just sit here and wait. We are called to fight evil until He comes again. And, yes, that means voting to defend faith, family, and freedom.
Betraying Israel
I don’t know how many times and in how many ways the Biden administration can betray Israel, but they just did it again.
Classified materials detailing Israel’s planned military response to Iran’s latest missile attack were leaked in recent days. The documents came from U.S. intelligence and were posted online by supporters of the Iranian regime.
The list of suspects is long.
We know that the Biden administration is full of anti-Israel bureaucrats.
We know that enemies of Israel are serving in key intelligence positions in the White House, at the CIA, and the Pentagon.
And we know that Robert Malley, Biden’s special envoy to Iran, had his security clearance revoked.
But that’s not all.
Vice President Harris once again seemingly aligned herself with pro-Hamas radicals. During a campaign appearance in Wisconsin, Harris was confronted by a man yelling about the “genocide in Gaza.” Harris didn’t correct him by reminding him that Israel is fighting a defensive war against genocidal Islamic supremacists. She agreed with him.
Harris told the audience, “Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real. That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice.”
What?!
Does a nation engaged in “genocide” supply humanitarian aid to its enemies?
Does a nation engaged in “genocide” warn its enemies in advance?
Does a nation engaged in “genocide” vaccinate the children they supposedly want to kill?
Accusing Israel of engaging in genocide is obscene. The only people advocating genocide are Israel’s enemies who celebrated the October 7th attacks and who want to see the Jewish state wiped off the map.
Targeting Bibi
Hezbollah launched three drones into Israeli airspace Saturday aimed at assassinating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Two were destroyed by the IDF. The third struck near Netanyahu’s house. Fortunately, he and his wife were not there.
Hezbollah may have fired the drone, but let’s be clear about this: Iran tried to kill Netanyahu, just like Iran is trying to kill Donald Trump.
What does that tell you?
Israel and the United States are the twin pillars of Judeo-Christian civilization. Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump are committed to strengthening that civilization. And that’s why the death-worshipping mullahs of the Islamic regime are trying to kill them.
Donald Trump spoke with Bibi Netanyahu Saturday and reassured him of America’s support. President Biden and Vice President Harris reportedly did not communicate with the prime minister in any way.
I’ll say it directly: The so-called “progressive movement” is filled with millions of supporters who would celebrate if Trump and/or Netanyahu were killed.
