Email from American Values Plus, an important message about Election Day.   Fighting For Faith, Family & Freedom Friday, November 1, 2024 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary Bauer Job Creation Collapse The economy took a huge hit last month, and so did many American families. The October jobs report was released this morning, and it’s a catastrophe. Only 12,000 jobs were created last month. Economists were expecting at least 110,000. Manufacturing jobs fell, but government jobs rose. But it’s worse than that. Once again, the job creation numbers for the prior two months were revised downward for the loss of another 112,000 jobs. So, between October’s missed expectation and the August and September revisions, that’s 210,000 fewer jobs than expected. Some of the decline may be related to Hurricane Helene, but certainly not all. Who wants four more years of this weak and declining economy? America deserves better. But we won’t get it with Harris/Walz. Insulting Women Mark Cuban really stepped in it yesterday. He said there are no “strong and intelligent women” around Donald Trump. Why should we care? He’s not running for anything. Well, Cuban is Harris’s Elon Musk. And Musk is one of Trump’s major surrogates, just as Cuban is a leading surrogate for Harris. He’s constantly on the campaign trail speaking on her behalf, and he has given her a lot of money. In spite of everything everyone can see, Cuban claimed that there are no strong and intelligent women around Donald Trump. Cuban said Trump is uncomfortable around strong women. Donald Trump has all kinds of strong, intelligent women around him who are conservative, pro-life, and pro-family. I just spent time at a conference in Colorado Springs where Brooke Rollins spoke. She could well be chief of staff in a Trump White House. Don’t get in her way! She’s a strong, intelligent woman. So is Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who served as Trump’s press secretary. So is Kellyanne Conway, who served as Trump’s 2016 campaign manager and a senior adviser throughout his presidency. Alina Habba, Trump’s attorney, is a strong, intelligent woman. RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump is a strong, intelligent woman. I could go on. There’s another huge irony here. Mark Cuban made his political home on the left, which cannot even tell us what a woman is! Harris’s running mate is not so affectionately known as “Tampon Tim” because he insisted that tampon dispensers be put in the boys’ bathrooms. Why? Because Walz believes boys get periods, too. They also nominated a woman to the Supreme Court who stunned senators when she was asked to define what a woman is. Her response was that she didn’t know what a woman is because “I’m not a biologist.” Isn’t it funny how men and women have figured out what each other were for thousands of years without a biology course? But this lady sits on the Supreme Court, and I apologize for calling her a “lady” because she is probably offended. Mark Cuban, who was very successful in the sports world, supports the movement that is using every power it can muster in the federal government to bring an iron fist down on women and girls who want to play sports. That movement is forcing them to compete against men and boys. Girls have been seriously injured as a result of this insane idea. Hundreds of medals have been stolen by men. But it’s even worse. Once you say a boy is a girl because he says he is, the Biden administration allows him to use your daughter’s bathroom, showers, and locker rooms. So, "progressives" are not only robbing young women of medals, crushing their hopes and dreams, they are also robbing them of places where girls should be able to find privacy and safety. Just to remind you, here are some photos of the “strong women” serving in the Biden/Harris administration or who are regular invitees to the White House. Finally, this radical movement wants to expose six, seven, eight, and nine year-olds to this garbage about biology, gender, and human sexuality. When actual strong and intelligent women go to school board meetings and say, “Leave my child alone,” progressives set up an 800 number for left-wing neighbors to report them as possible domestic terrorists. By the way, Mark Cuban sold his interest in the Dallas Mavericks NBA team to Miriam Adelson, who is the definition of a strong, intelligent woman. She is also a major adviser to Donald Trump on combating antisemitism and Middle East policies. Cover-up Exposed As you know, Joe Biden sent the White House staff into damage control mode after he called Trump supporters “garbage.” First, they tried to get the official White House stenographers to change “supporters” to “supporter’s,” meaning one person instead of many. When the stenographers refused, the White House press office put out its own transcript, bypassing the Stenography Office. Director of White House Stenography Amy Sands issued a memo blasting the “breach of protocol.” Sands wrote that her office has a historic responsibility to capture the words spoken and written at the White House and send them to the National Archives for the purposes of recording history. She wrote: “If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently. Our Stenography Office transcript . . . is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.” Just another example of the left’s totalitarian impulse. Sands better hope that Trump wins, or she’s got a 50/50 chance of sharing a jail cell with Elon Musk. But I’ll say this much: She sounds like a strong, intelligent woman! Pray For The Persecuted Church Many of us get frustrated when the church parking lot doesn’t have enough spaces. But in many places around the world, Christians will walk several miles on Sunday to go to a church with no air conditioning or heat. They also know that when they cross the church threshold with their family, it may be the last thing they do on earth. Across the Middle East and Africa Christians are murdered every Sunday because they are followers of Jesus Christ. As a former Trump appointee to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, I am all too aware of the dangers many Christians endure for a right far too many Americans take for granted. As a country, we have sent more missionaries abroad to bring the Good News of Jesus to people who became Christians in every nation of the world. But we can’t abandon them now when they are persecuted. There is genocide of Christians in Nigeria, and the Biden administration won’t lift a finger to do anything about it. They are more interested in pressuring countries like Nigeria to accept same-sex marriage than letting people worship in peace. This Sunday, November 3rd, is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Click here for more information. If your pastor does not mention Christian persecution overseas this Sunday, please encourage him to make it a priority in future sermons and to plan early for next year's International Day of Prayer. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!! Tens of millions of Americans have voted early, at least in part because Republicans have taken Donald Trump’s advice to do so. If you have already voted, that means you’re free on Election Day. Over this weekend, think of at least one person you know who may need help voting on Tuesday. Perhaps they are a caregiver for an elderly person in the home or a mother with young kids and little free time. Maybe it’s an older person you know at church. Call these people and volunteer to pick them up and take them to the polls. Or offer to watch whomever they are caring for so they get to the polls. If each one of us can bring one more person to the polls, we will have bought our country four more years to save us from the neo-Marxists. Thank You! Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your early voting experience with me. There were a few irregularities, but other than long lines it seems the vast majority had no trouble voting.
