Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

THE GENERATION THAT WAS NEVER TAUGHT TO REMEMBER.

There is a generation growing up right now that has never been told the truth about the world.

Not because they are stupid, but because those who were supposed to tell them deliberately chose not to.

They grew up in classrooms where history had been turned into guilt and self-hatred. Where the West was always the villain. Where every civilization that had ever conquered or oppressed was in some way made our responsibility, while every ideology that promised liberation was given the benefit of the doubt.

They grew up with media that all spoke with one voice. The same conclusions, the same enemies and the same heroes.

Not because journalists were sitting and conspiring in a back room, but because an entire professional class was educated at the same institutions, by the same people, with the same basic assumptions embedded from the start.

It is not journalism, but a monoculture with a press badge.

And what did that monoculture teach them?

That freedom is a personal lifestyle choice. A brand. Something you use on yourself.

Not something men have bled for. Not something women have been imprisoned for demanding. Not the fragile, hard-won thing that disappears the moment a generation stops defending it.

That God is embarrassing. A relic from another time. Something your grandparents had standing on the shelf next to the porcelain figurines.

That the state will take care of you, will protect you - and knows best.

Bow your head - not in prayer, but in submission.

That there is no real difference between man and woman.

That masculinity is a problem that must be solved. That femininity is a social construct that must be deconstructed.

That the family - the oldest and most fundamental institution in any civilization - is just one option among many. Equally valid. Equally replaceable.

A mother and a father? Fine, if that’s what you want.

But also two fathers. Two mothers. A single parent.

A child conceived at a clinic, never knowing their biological father - a man who has sold his genetic material to dozens of families, because the market allowed it, and no one dared ask the obvious question: Doesn’t the child have the right to know who they are?

We did not protect the child.

We protected the adults’ right to choose.

And through it all, the media clapped. The schools confirmed. The institutions celebrated.

And the young person who could feel that something was deeply wrong… who felt rootless and empty… was told that the feeling itself was the problem.

They were told that they just needed to be more tolerant. More open. More inclusive.

That the discomfort they felt was actually prejudice.

And so they learned to suppress the instinct that was trying to protect them.

This has nothing to do with education. It is a systematic dismantling of an entire generation’s ability to recognize danger.

For a generation that does not know history will not recognize when it repeats itself.

A generation without roots will not notice when the ground is pulled from under them.

A generation that has been taught that goodness is giving everything away - including their own future - will only understand what they gave it to when it is too late.

History is not an abstraction. It is a warning written in blood.

And right now a generation across the entire West is walking straight into the pages of a book they were never allowed to read.

Wake them. Show them the truth. Show them God. While there is still time!❤️‍🔥🪽✝️💃🦍

[🇺🇸 Ronald Carter @USronaldcarter]

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently.

"Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting."

Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs.

He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%.

He chose to act knowing his own base would split.

He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help.

He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike.

A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage."

Read that again.

Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

A MENTAL EXPERIMENT: If I Were a Political Party Trying to Keep Power by Any Means Necessary in a Constitutional Republic... How Would I Do It?

Grab some coffee. This is going to be a long one.

Let us play a little game. A thought experiment. Hypothetical, of course. If I were a political party in a constitutional republic and I wanted to maintain permanent power regardless of what the voters actually wanted... what would my playbook look like?

Funny thing about hypotheticals. Sometimes they stop being hypothetical.

STEP 1: MAKE VOTER ID ILLEGAL

I would scream from every rooftop that requiring an ID to vote is racist, sexist, and every other -ist I could conjure up. Never mind that you need an ID to buy cold medicine, board an airplane, open a bank account, pick up a prescription, buy alcohol, rent an apartment, or get a library card. Somehow, the ONE place an ID requirement becomes oppressive is the ballot box. I would call anyone who questions this a white supremacist, and I would get my friends in media to repeat it until it became gospel.

...Wait. Democrats have been doing EXACTLY this for years. HR 1 (the "For the People Act") would have effectively banned state voter ID laws nationwide. Huh.

STEP 2: FLOOD THE ZONE WITH MAIL-IN BALLOTS

I would push for universal mail-in voting because these ballots are astronomically easier to manipulate than in-person voting. Nursing homes, college campuses, apartment complexes where turnover is constant. I would fight signature verification requirements. I would fight ballot envelope transparency. I would ensure that chain of custody was as loose as a screen door on a submarine.

...Wait. In 2020, COVID was leveraged to push mass mail-in voting nationwide with relaxed verification standards. TIME Magazine literally published an article titled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election" bragging about a "well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information." Their words, not mine. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and PRIVATE funding. They literally bragged about it.

STEP 3: GERRYMANDER LIKE MY POLITICAL LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

I would redraw district lines to pack my opponents into as few districts as possible while spreading my voters thin enough to win maximum seats. I would accuse the OTHER party of gerrymandering while I did it ten times worse.

...Wait. Maryland's 3rd Congressional District looked like a Rorschach test designed by someone having a seizure. Illinois Democrats drew maps so egregious that the state lost a congressional seat and they STILL came out ahead in representation. New York Democrats were caught so red-handed that their own courts threw out their maps.

STEP 4: RIG THE CENSUS

I would manipulate the census to overcount states I control and undercount states my opponent controls. Since congressional seats and federal funding are distributed based on census data, every inaccuracy shifts power.

...Wait. The 2020 Census (data collected under Trump, processed and finalized under Biden's Autopen) admitted it OVERCOUNTED populations in eight states and UNDERCOUNTED six. Florida and Texas, both Republican-leaning, were undercounted by hundreds of thousands. Meanwhile Minnesota and Rhode Island were overcounted enough to RETAIN congressional seats they should have lost. The Census Bureau even admitted the 2020 count produced the widest racial disparities in recorded Census history. The Bureau introduced "differential privacy" noise algorithms that distorted small-area population counts so badly it raised legal concerns under the Census Act (13 U.S.C. Sections 141 and 195), which require "actual Enumeration" and prohibit statistical sampling for apportionment. But sure, nothing to see here.

STEP 5: IMPORT MY VOTERS

I would flood immigrants into states and cities I control. I would declare these "sanctuary cities" so the federal government cannot remove them. I would fight any citizenship question on the census tooth and nail because the Constitution says "persons," not "citizens," are counted for apportionment. Every noncitizen in my sanctuary city counts toward MY congressional representation and MY Electoral College votes. I do not even need them to vote. I just need them COUNTED.

...Wait. California alone has an estimated 2.2 million undocumented immigrants. New York has over 700,000. Illinois over 400,000. These noncitizens are counted in the census, inflating these states' congressional seats and Electoral College votes. The Supreme Court in Department of Commerce v. New York (2019) blocked the citizenship question from the census. Democrats celebrated. And here is where it gets really clever. Democrats do not actually WANT citizenship for these populations, because once immigrants achieve citizenship, build businesses, and become self-sufficient, they tend to vote for economic freedom, family values, and limited government. Democrats need them dependent, not empowered. As someone once said, that is the antebellum South's business model with extra steps. "Who is going to pick the cotton?" Same energy, different century.

STEP 6: FIGHT EVERY AUDIT, EVERY RECOUNT, EVERY TRANSPARENCY MEASURE

I would resist any attempt to examine voting logs, ballot images, machine data, or chain of custody records after an election. I would call anyone who asks questions a "conspiracy theorist" and an "election denier." I would get the media to memory-hole any legitimate concerns. I would get social media to censor anyone who raised issues.

...Wait. Maricopa County, Arizona fought subpoenas from the state Senate for months before reluctantly turning over ballot data. Georgia's Fulton County had widely documented chain-of-custody issues with absentee ballots. When Texas tried to investigate voting irregularities, the DOJ sued them. TIME Magazine admitted that this "shadow campaign" successfully pressured social media companies to take a "harder line against disinformation," meaning they censored people asking questions about the election. Laura Quinn, a progressive operative, specifically concluded that "the more engagement something gets, the more the platforms boost it," so the strategy was to SUPPRESS discussion rather than engage with it. Their solution was to "pressure platforms to enforce their rules" by removing content. Not refuting it. Removing it.

STEP 7: EXTEND THE VOTING WINDOW AS LONG AS POSSIBLE

I would push for early voting windows of 30, 45, even 60 days. The longer the window, the more time I have to harvest ballots, the less impact any late-breaking news has, and the harder it becomes for my opponent to mount an effective counter-campaign.

...Wait. Multiple states now allow voting more than 45 days before Election Day. North Carolina allows absentee ballot requests to begin 60 days before the election. Some states allow ballot drop boxes with minimal monitoring. The longer the window, the more opportunities for... well, you get the picture.

STEP 8: CONTROL THE INFORMATION

I would infiltrate the press. I would get control of editorial positions. I would ensure that news coverage frames every issue in my favor. I would get tech companies to suppress information that hurts me and amplify information that helps me. I would call inconvenient truths "misinformation" and factual reporting "conspiracy theories."

...Wait. A 2020 analysis of U.S. journalists found 60% identify as Democrats or Democrat-leaning. Pew Research found 55% of journalists REJECT equal coverage for all sides. 77% of Americans perceive media organizations as biased. The FBI's "Arctic Frost" probe specifically targeted nearly 100 Republican groups and individuals. Facebook, Twitter, and Google all admitted to suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election, a story that 17% of Biden voters said would have changed their vote had they known about it.

And here is the fun part. On January 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read into the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD a list of 45 Communist Goals for America, taken from Cleon Skousen's "The Naked Communist." Let me highlight a few that seem... relevant:

Goal 15: Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. STATUS: Partially achieved.

Goal 17: Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism. STATUS: Partially achieved. Liberal to conservative faculty ratios exceed 10:1 in elite colleges, and a 2024 FIRE survey found only 20% of faculty believe a conservative would fit well in their department.

Goal 20: Infiltrate the press. Get control of editorial writing and policymaking positions. STATUS: Partially achieved. See the stats above.

Goal 21: Gain control of key positions in radio, television, and motion pictures. STATUS: Partially achieved. Hollywood and entertainment media strongly reflect progressive values.

Goal 29: Discredit the U.S. Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, or out of step. STATUS: In progress. "Living Constitution" theory, anyone?

Goal 40: Discredit the family as an institution. STATUS: Achieved. Black two-parent households went from over 80% in the 1950s to fewer than 30% today, largely driven by welfare policies that incentivized single parenthood.

STEP 9: WEAPONIZE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM

I would use prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement to target my political opponents while protecting my allies. I would fund "progressive" district attorneys who refuse to prosecute criminals but enthusiastically pursue political enemies. I would use FISA courts, grand juries, and federal investigations as political weapons.

...Wait. George Soros funded over 75 "progressive" DA candidates between 2015 and 2022. San Francisco and Philadelphia saw homicide clearance rates drop below 40% after electing these DAs. Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was ARRESTED by the FBI for directing a domestic battery defendant to escape through a back door to avoid ICE. A SITTING JUDGE helping criminals evade arrest. Meanwhile, Trump faced four separate indictments in an election year from prosecutors with documented Democratic affiliations. Coincidence, I am sure.

STEP 10: MAKE PEOPLE DEPENDENT

I would create as many government dependency programs as possible. I would make the welfare cliff so steep that getting a job means losing benefits worth more than the job pays. I would trap people in a cycle where they NEED my party to survive. I would call anyone who questions this system "heartless" or "cruel."

...Wait. A family on full benefits in many states receives the equivalent of $60,000-$80,000 in combined assistance. Meanwhile, an entry-level job might pay $30,000. Who in their right mind would take that job? You would literally be taking a pay cut to work. The system is not designed to help people escape poverty. It is designed to keep them voting for whoever promises the most handouts. That is not a safety net. That is a cage.

STEP 11: DESTROY THE OPPOSITION'S ABILITY TO ORGANIZE

I would use the IRS to target conservative nonprofits (Lois Lerner, anyone?). I would use the FBI to investigate Republican groups under pretextual operations like "Arctic Frost," which targeted nearly 100 GOP-affiliated organizations including Charlie Kirk's TPUSA. I would use tech companies to deplatform conservative voices. I would use banks to close accounts of political opponents. I would call it "protecting democracy."

STEP 12: REDEFINE LANGUAGE

I would change the meaning of words to suit my purposes. "Democracy" would mean "whatever I want." "Violence" would mean "speech I disagree with." "Equity" would mean "equal outcomes regardless of effort." "Justice" would mean "my team wins." "Fascism" would mean "anything that opposes my agenda." I would repeat these new definitions until people forgot the originals.

And here is the kicker, the thing that ties this whole hypothetical together: Quinn's Law Number 1 states that "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent." Every program designed to "help" creates more dependency. Every law designed to create "equity" creates more division. Every policy designed to promote "democracy" concentrates more power.

Quinn's Law Number 2: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." They accuse the right of "rigging elections" while implementing every strategy listed above. They accuse the right of "authoritarianism" while weaponizing every institution of government against political opponents. They accuse the right of "threatening democracy" while operating a constitutional republic like it is their personal franchise.

And Quinn's Law Number 25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." $1.5 trillion in COVID ACA subsidies. $200 billion in taxpayer healthcare for noncitizens. $3 million for circumcisions in Zambia. $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes for male prostitutes in Haiti. $833,000 for transgender people in Nepal. $300,000 for a pride parade in Lutu. All from YOUR pocket.

This is not a hypothetical anymore, is it?

This is the "long march through the institutions" that Antonio Gramsci theorized and Rudi Dutschke popularized. Infiltrate education, media, law, government, and culture. Do not overthrow the system. Become the system. It is not a conspiracy theory when they wrote books about it, taught it in universities, and published victory laps in TIME Magazine.

I keep hearing people say "that could never happen here." My friends, it already has. The question is not whether these strategies exist. The evidence is public, documented, and in several cases BRAGGED ABOUT by the people who did it.

The real question is: what are you going to do about it?

But what do I know? I am only a science teacher who applies the scientific method to political claims and keeps finding that the "hypothetical" matches the observable data with uncomfortable precision.

How most people view their dads..

[Pastor Rich Bitterman @w_bitterman]

A Man Said He Was Christian and Was Stabbed for It: What Does God Say About Defending Yourself?

According to law enforcement reports from Washington State, a man walking his dog was approached by a stranger who asked him a direct question. “What religion are you?” The man answered, “Christian.” The stranger then attacked him, stabbing both the man and his dog. The victim survived. The dog was gravely injured.

Later that day, deputies encountered the suspect. Authorities say he was armed with multiple knives, ignored commands, and advanced toward officers. After shots were fired, the attacker died at the scene.

Those are the reported facts as they stand. Details may sharpen or shift, but the moral weight does not.

Because the moment violence arrives without warning, the question every Christian eventually faces presses forward again: What does faith require when danger presents itself?

We often react with outrage and want to commit violence ourselves. I understand why some of you feel the way you do. I felt the same the last couple weeks.

I want you to know that Scripture does not answer this question vaguely. It answers it with categories.

God Has Not Changed
The God who spoke at Sinai is the same God who spoke on the hillside in Galilee. His character has not shifted, just as His concern for justice has not softened. His hatred of violence against the innocent has not diminished one little bit.

The OT records moments where God commanded leaders to take up the sword against those who harassed, oppressed, and destroyed. Those commands were tied to covenant, land, and a specific redemptive moment, but they also revealed something enduring about God’s heart. He does not treat the protection of the vulnerable as optional.

The NT does not erase that concern. It refines it.

Jesus will return as King. Scripture says He comes to judge and make war in righteousness (Revelation 19:11). Mercy and justice are not rivals. They move together!

That matters, because Christians are often accused of choosing gentleness over goodness. Scripture never demands that trade.

When Children Are in the Room
When parents say, “How could we know their intentions?” Scripture does not rebuke that question. The law itself acknowledges uncertainty as a moral factor.

“If a thief is found breaking in at night and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt” (Exodus 22:2). Darkness conceals intent, so fear is rational. Responsibility increases when danger cannot be measured clearly.

When children are present, the burden shifts immediately toward protection. Scripture never instructs parents to wait until harm becomes obvious. Providing for one’s household includes safety. “If anyone does not provide for his relatives… he has denied the faith” (1 Timothy 5:8).

That provision does not require rage. It does require readiness.

When Violence Is Suddenly Personal
Jesus’ command to turn the other cheek addresses humiliation. The right cheek detail in Matthew 5:39 points to a backhanded strike, a gesture of contempt rather than an attempt to kill. This is an important distinction to know.

Jesus trains His people to absorb insult without striking back. He loosens our grip on pride.

Scripture consistently treats imminent harm as a different category. “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter” (Proverbs 24:11). That command assumes urgency and proximity. It assumes action.

When the stranger asked his faith, the moment was still open. Words can turn dangerous without warning, yet Scripture does not demand panic at the first sign of unease. This is a time for awareness, distance and leaving the area. Jesus Himself stepped away when violence stirred before His hour arrived (Luke 4:30).

When the knife appeared, the category changed. Scripture treats imminent harm as a call to action. Moses addressed it plainly. “If a thief is found breaking in at night and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt” (Exodus 22:2). The aim in such moments is simple. Stop the harm and protect life. End the threat as quickly as possible.

Scripture permits measured force to interrupt violence. It forbids vengeance that lingers once the threat begins to retreat.

Defense and Vengeance Part Ways Quickly
Measured defense seeks to stop harm. Vengeance seeks to settle accounts.

The Bible blesses one and condemns the other:

“Repay no one evil for evil… never avenge yourselves” (Romans 12:17–19). That command does not forbid intervention. It forbids retaliation fueled by anger and pride.

“Be angry and do not sin” (Ephesians 4:26). Anger can alert, but it cannot govern. James speaks plainly. “The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God” (James 1:20).

Force that continues after the threat subsides crosses a line Scripture does not cross.

Readiness Without Becoming What We Fear
When Jerusalem rebuilt its wall under threat, families stood watch. Workers held tools and weapons together. This meant that eyes stayed lifted and trumpets remained within reach (Nehemiah 4:16–18). The posture was controlled, alert, and sober.

That description matters because it rejects two errors at once. It rejects passivity, but it also rejects bloodlust. Biblical courage is disciplined strength.

Where Scripture Places the Sword
The Washington incident ended when deputies confronted a man advancing with knives. Scripture assigns that moment a role. “The authority does not bear the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an avenger who carries out wrath on the wrongdoer” (Romans 13:4).

Christians are not tasked with becoming vigilantes, because God assigned the restraint of violent wrongdoing to civil authority. “The authority does not bear the sword in vain” (Romans 13:4).

That calling does not require governments to be righteous, consistent, or sympathetic to Christians. Scripture names their role even when they fail it.

However, Christian submission does not mean silence, and order does not require surrender of conscience. It affirms God’s design for restraint in a broken world, while leaving room for lawful appeal, accountability, and faithful witness.

Those who terrorize children and disrupt worship should be held accountable by law. Scripture expects this. Justice is not opposed to mercy. It protects it.

When the Sanctuary Is Breached
Last week, a mob walked into a church service and disrupted worship while children were present. That act was unjust and had no place in the house of God. Such behavior is serious. It is wrong. It demands response.

Some read yesterday’s reflection on Romans 12 as softness. Romans 12 forges restraint, but not surrender. It governs anger so that response remains righteous instead of reckless.

The intrusion does not belong in the same category as a lethal attack. Scripture calls for order, calm leadership, protection of the vulnerable, and lawful intervention. De-escalation where possible. Authorities involved where necessary. Worship preserved without turning the sanctuary into a battleground.

Provoked chaos feeds on reaction. When disorder is answered with rage by a Christian individual or group it multiplies. Perhaps that is ultimately what the mob sought. Scripture calls the church to break that cycle rather than become part of it.

Yes, Jesus cleansed the temple with authority that belonged to Him alone. He did not react on impulse. He entered deliberately. The overturned tables were tied to exploitation by driving out those who had turned worship into commerce. Scripture was already on His lips. “Take these things away,” He said, “do not make my Father’s house a house of trade” (John 2:16).

This was not a defense of personal space or wounded pride. It was an act of judgment carried out by the rightful Lord of the house. His zeal was aimed and not scattered as no bystanders were struck. Chaos was not unleashed.

His action flowed from holiness and authority, not adrenaline. That difference matters, because the same scene cannot be lifted out of His hands and placed unaltered into ours.

The church advances by witness, prayer, and endurance. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36), and the book of Acts shows what that looks like on the ground.

When violence rose, the apostles did not organize retaliation. They left when they could. For example, Paul was lowered through a wall at night and Peter slipped away after arrest. They shook the dust from their feet and went to the next town. The gospel moved forward without the church turning every threat into a fight.

That pattern is not weakness! It is the definition of confidence. The mission did not depend on force. It depended on truth carried by faithful witnesses who refused to let violence set the terms.

What Scripture Permits and What It Forbids
Scripture permits Christians to flee danger, shield the vulnerable, and intervene to stop imminent harm to themselves or others.

Scripture forbids revenge, cruelty, escalation for the sake of dominance, and violence that continues after the threat has passed.

The Bible calls Christians to honor lawful authority, protect children, refuse cowardice, and reject chaos.

“If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all” (Romans 12:18). Peace here is not weakness. It is restraint guided by love and clarity.

Violence will continue to ask its questions. Fear will continue to whisper shortcuts.

The Bible answers steadily.

Christian, you are to protect life, refuse vengeance, honor order and trust God with justice.

That path is never easy and demands courage. It also keeps the church faithful when the world presses hard against its doors.

[mike bski @BskiMike22802]

I need to get something off my chest.

I just watched a video that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the modern left. An ICE officer sits in his vehicle, snow accumulating on his windshield, patiently explaining to protesters why they need to stop obstructing his work: "We are here to arrest a child sex offender. You're honking and impeding our investigation while we're trying to arrest a CHILD SEX OFFENDER. That's who you guys are protecting... insane."

Insane is too generous. The word I'm looking for is EVIL.

Now, I don't throw that term around carelessly. I'm a science teacher, not a televangelist. But after watching the left's behavior over the past several years, I've concluded that we're not dealing with mere policy disagreements anymore. We're watching a movement that has systematically embraced everything Scripture identifies as wicked. And I can prove it.

THE BIBLICAL STANDARD FOR EVIL

Proverbs 6:16-19 gives us seven things the LORD hates - things He finds detestable: haughty eyes, a LYING TONGUE, hands that shed INNOCENT BLOOD, a heart that devises WICKED SCHEMES, feet quick to rush into EVIL, a FALSE WITNESS who pours out lies, and a person who STIRS UP CONFLICT in the community.

That's our rubric. Let's grade the modern left against it.

A LYING TONGUE AND FALSE WITNESS

I'll start with a specific example since I've already called him out publicly: Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (@SenatorWarnock).

Here's a man who wears that title like a shield while bearing false witness against his neighbors. He's tweeted that Republicans voted to "double premiums" multiple times. Pure fiction.

Let me explain this slowly, since apparently someone was hiding behind the door when God handed out brains.

Democrats made ACA subsidies TEMPORARY in the American Rescue Plan Act (March 2021). NOT ONE REPUBLICAN voted for it. Democrats extended those TEMPORARY subsidies through 2025 in the Inflation Reduction Act (August 2022). Again, NOT ONE REPUBLICAN voted for it. So when temporary subsidies that DEMOCRATS created, on a timeline DEMOCRATS established, with ZERO Republican votes, expire... Democrats blame Republicans?

That's not spin. That's bearing false witness. Exodus 20:16 prohibits exactly this.

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (@SenatorWarnock) knows the voting record. He has staff who can read legislation. When he claims Republicans voted to raise premiums, he's not mistaken - he's LYING. And Scripture holds teachers to a stricter standard. James 3:1 warns that "we who teach will be judged more strictly." A Reverend who deliberately deceives his flock to score political points isn't shepherding souls - he's leading them astray for thirty pieces of silver.

But Warnock's just one example. The entire Democratic apparatus runs on falsehood.

Governor Pritzker calls federal law enforcement "an unconstitutional invasion" and describes ICE agents as "militarized" forces "waging war on our people." Mayor Johnson calls law enforcement "a sickness" and federal agents "a rogue, reckless group of heavily armed mass individuals roaming throughout our city."

These aren't policy critiques. They're lies designed to incite violence. And it's working. Attorney General Pam Bondi testified there's been a 1,000% INCREASE in violent attacks against ICE officers since January 20th.

When elected officials call federal agents "terrorists," eventually some dim bulb takes them seriously and acts on it. Proverbs warned about exactly this: a false witness who pours out lies brings destruction.

HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD

At the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Planned Parenthood parked a mobile clinic nearby and performed approximately 20 abortions. They didn't hide this. They ADVERTISED it. They celebrated killing unborn children at their political convention like it was a carnival attraction.

Psalm 139:13-16 declares that God knits us together in our mother's womb. Jeremiah 1:5 says God knew us before He formed us. The left's response? Set up abortion trucks at political rallies.

Isaiah 5:20 pronounces WOE on those who call evil good and good evil. Calling the destruction of unborn life "reproductive healthcare" is precisely this inversion. They've made child sacrifice a sacrament of their political religion.

And speaking of children...

HEARTS THAT DEVISE WICKED SCHEMES

This is where the video I mentioned becomes relevant to a larger pattern.

Just DAYS ago in Minneapolis, anti-ICE protesters created such chaos that a 6-month-old baby named D'iris STOPPED BREATHING from tear gas exposure. The Jackson family wasn't even protesting - they were driving home from their son's basketball game when they got trapped between demonstrators and federal agents. Destiny Jackson had to perform CPR on her INFANT in the street while bystanders poured milk on her children's eyes.

Three children hospitalized. A baby nearly died. And for what purpose? So protesters could shield child rapists from federal law enforcement.

This wasn't an isolated incident. In Colorado, the Colorado Rapid Response Network actively helped convicted child rapist Jose Reyes Leon-Deras evade ICE. Let that sink in. An organized network of activists working to protect a CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST from arrest. DHS had to issue a public alert.

Matthew 18:6 couldn't be clearer: "If anyone causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

The left brings babies to violent protests where they get tear-gassed. They organize networks to protect child rapists. They obstruct federal agents trying to arrest child sex offenders. Then they lecture ME about caring for children.

The wheel is spinning, but the hamster died years ago with these people.

FEET QUICK TO RUSH INTO EVIL

Let me contrast two responses to tragedy.

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, Republicans offered prayers and condolences. We disagreed with her jurisprudence, but we recognized the loss of a human life.

When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Democrats INTERRUPTED congressional prayers and moments of silence. Then they went on TikTok and celebrated because two young children no longer have a father. They literally danced on his grave while his body was still warm.

When George Floyd died, the left burned cities, looted black-owned businesses, assaulted police officers, and blocked ambulances from reaching emergencies. They called it the "Summer of Love." Kamala Harris promoted bail funds for the rioters.

When Trump was shot, Republicans didn't burn a single building.

Thousands gathered to mourn Charlie Kirk from around the world. They didn't loot. They didn't riot. They didn't assault anyone. They came to PRAY.

This contrast reveals something fundamental about character. One side honors human dignity even in disagreement. The other celebrates death and rushes to destruction at every opportunity.

A PERSON WHO STIRS UP CONFLICT

I already quoted Pritzker and Johnson, but let me add context. Pritzker said federal agents are "waging war on our people." Johnson said "in the coming weeks, we will use this as an opportunity to build greater resistance."

Do these knuckleheads understand that every foreign adversary of the United States hears this rhetoric and says THANK YOU? They're doing our enemies' work for them - undermining confidence in law enforcement, inciting violence against federal agents, and tearing apart the social fabric.

When you pit citizens against their own government, you're not "resisting" - you're destabilizing. And the people who suffer most aren't politicians with security details. It's ordinary Americans who live in communities where criminals now operate with impunity because Democratic policies protect them.

THE CRIMINALS THEY ACTUALLY PROTECT

Let me name names, since the left seems a few fries short of a Happy Meal when connecting their policies to real-world consequences.

CHILD PREDATORS AND RAPISTS protected by Democratic sanctuary policies:

o DAVID PINEDA-MEDRANO (Guatemala): Convicted of first-degree CHILD SEXUAL
o ABUSE JA MI (Thailand): Convicted of FORCIBLE RAPE
o MANUEL IVAN CASTILLO-ESTRADA (Mexico): Convicted of SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD
o LUIS OLMEDO QUISHPI-POALASIN (Ecuador): MULTIPLE counts of forcible rape
o JORGE ANDRES GARCIA-CELIS (Mexico): Convicted of MOLESTATION OF A MINOR
o MURDERERS protected by Democratic sanctuary policies
o USUMAN MUHAMED (Vietnam): Convicted of MURDER, gang member
o EDUARDO GARCIA-CORTEZ (Honduras): Convicted of MURDER 171 unlawful noncitizens with pending charges for MURDER, HOMICIDE, or ASSAULT OF CHILDREN arrested in early 2024

These are the people whom they put above ICE and the citizens of the areas they protest.

Illinois's Trust Act - Democratic legislation - released an illegal alien from custody who then BEAT A 21-YEAR-OLD MAN TO DEATH. That young man is dead because of Democratic policy.

Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was ARRESTED by the FBI for directing a domestic battery defendant to escape through a back door to avoid ICE. A sitting judge helping criminals evade arrest.

Romans 13 establishes that governing authorities exist to punish wrongdoers. Judges who help criminals escape are in direct rebellion against this biblical mandate.

Proverbs 17:15: "Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent - the LORD detests them both."

Democratic sanctuary policies acquit the guilty. Their rhetoric condemns the innocent agents trying to enforce the law. The LORD detests this. I'm simply agreeing with Him.

THE HISTORICAL PATTERN
None of this is new for Democrats. The party has a consistent 200-year track record of exploiting vulnerable populations for political power.

They defended slavery. They created Jim Crow. They founded the KKK as their paramilitary enforcement wing. Senator Robert Byrd, a former KKK RECRUITER, filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for 14 hours.

"But the parties switched!" I hear this constantly from people who clearly got their history education from Twitter memes.

No, they didn't. What switched was the METHOD of control, not the party doing the controlling.

In the 1950s, Black Americans had the HIGHEST rates of intact two-parent families in America - roughly 80-85% of Black children raised in two-parent households. After Democratic welfare programs in the 1960s? Today, fewer than 30% of Black children live with both parents. Out-of-wedlock births among Black Americans went from 21% in 1965 to 77% today.

This wasn't accidental. Marriage penalties were BUILT INTO welfare systems. Benefits available to single mothers disappeared when they married. Federal programs incentivized single parenthood and punished family formation.

Malachi 2:16 says God hates divorce. Democratic policies systematically incentivized family destruction in the very communities they claimed to help. Then they blame "systemic racism" for outcomes their own policies created.

There was no party switch. Democrats just traded plantations for projects, chains for welfare checks, overseers for social workers. Same exploitation of vulnerable populations for political control, different packaging.

Quinn's Law #1 explains it perfectly: "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent." They claim to help the poor while creating policies that trap generations in poverty. They claim to support families while incentivizing their destruction. They claim to protect communities while shielding criminals from arrest.

THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS

In 1963, Congressman Albert Herlong read into the Congressional Record the 45 Communist Goals for America. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but when stated goals from six decades ago read like today's Democratic platform, it warrants attention.

Goal #16: Use courts to weaken institutions. ACHIEVED. Judges now help criminals evade arrest.

Goal #17: Control schools for socialist transmission. ACHIEVED. Teachers face termination for not promoting approved ideology.

Goal #27: Infiltrate churches and replace revealed religion with social religion. ACHIEVED. "Reverends" like @SenatorWarnock preach government programs instead of the Gospel.

Goal #28: Eliminate prayer in schools. ACHIEVED (1962).

Goal #38: Transfer police power to social agencies. IN PROGRESS. Cities defund police while violent crime skyrockets.

Goal #40: Discredit the family. ACHIEVED. Democratic welfare policies systematically destroyed Black family structure.

Goal #42: Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate traditions. IN PROGRESS. Democratic officials call law enforcement "a sickness" while their supporters obstruct federal agents.

I'm not saying Democrats read this list and followed it intentionally. I'm saying the outcomes are identical regardless of intent. And Scripture judges us by our fruits, not our intentions.

THE CULT OF GOVERNMENT WORSHIP

2 Thessalonians 3:10 states plainly: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."

Yet Democrats held 42 million SNAP recipients hostage, blocking 14 clean continuing resolutions while demanding nearly $20,000 PER TAXPAYER to extend temporary COVID subsidies that THEY voted to make temporary in the first place.

They've replaced worship of God with worship of government programs. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (@SenatorWarnock) exemplifies this perfectly - a man who preaches redistribution instead of redemption, government dependency instead of personal responsibility.

When Jesus fed the 5,000, it wasn't a welfare program. It was a demonstration of divine power to His apostles. When the crowd returned the next day seeking more free food, Jesus didn't set up a permanent feeding station. He preached about the Bread of Life and most of them left.

Jesus created disciples, not dependents. The left creates dependents who vote for whoever promises to take the most from others. It's spiritual slavery dressed in compassionate language.

QUINN'S LAWS IN ACTION

Quinn's Law #2: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing."

They call us fascists while weaponizing federal agencies against political opponents. They call us threats to democracy while trying to pack the Supreme Court and eliminate the Electoral College. They call ICE agents terrorists while their policies protect actual rapists and murderers. They accuse us of not caring about children while tear-gassing infants at their own protests and obstructing investigations into child sex offenders.

Quinn's Law #6: "Facts are the enemy of liberalism."

That's why Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (@SenatorWarnock) has to lie about who voted for temporary subsidies. That's why Pritzker has to lie about what ICE agents are doing. That's why the media has to reframe child predators as victims of "enforcement overreach." Facts would destroy their narrative.

Quinn's Law #23: "Liberals love the law unless they don't agree with it."

Sanctuary cities. Trust Acts. Judges escorting defendants through back doors. Protesters obstructing federal operations. NYC Comptroller Brad Lander physically interfering with ICE. When they don't like a law, they simply ignore it while lecturing everyone else about "democracy."

THE VERDICT

By every biblical measure for identifying evil, the modern American left qualifies:

They bear false witness constantly - Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (@SenatorWarnock) being exhibit A. They shed innocent blood and celebrate it at their political conventions. They devise schemes that endanger children while claiming to protect them. They rush to violence and celebrate the deaths of political opponents. They pour out lies that incite attacks on law enforcement. They stir up conflict between citizens and their government. They call evil good and good evil.

Isaiah 59:7-8 describes them with prophetic accuracy: "Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways. The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths."

THIS IS PERSONAL

I spent 23 years as an Army combat medic. I served in Iraq where I helped build schools and hospitals. I ESCORTED GIRLS TO SCHOOL so they wouldn't be murdered by people who considered female education a capital offense.

Now I watch American politicians work harder to protect child sex offenders than those girls' enemies ever did.

I teach at a high-need, high-risk district where most of my students receive free lunch. I feed my own family of six on $120-130 per week through careful meal planning while clowns in Congress demand trillions for programs that will trap another generation in dependency.

The ICE officer in that video showed more patience than I could muster. "Insane" was his word.

Mine is EVIL.

o When you protect child predators over children, you are evil.
o When you celebrate the assassination of political opponents, you are evil.
o When your protests tear-gas infants, you are evil.
o When you bear false witness from the pulpit for political gain, you are evil.
o When you systematically destroy families through government dependency, you are evil.
o When you call law enforcement "a sickness" and incite violence against federal agents, you are evil.

The left isn't merely wrong on policy. They have systematically embraced everything Scripture identifies as wicked while claiming moral superiority.

But what do I know? I'm just a combat veteran who escorted girls to school in a warzone, a teacher who actually reads the bills politicians lie about, and a Christian who calls a spade a spade - even when it wears a clerical collar and tweets from the Senate.
