@bavedikian@BestBuy@FedEx Similar thing happened to us 10 years ago. @Bestbuy & the company we purchased from both denied culpability. We told them we had all the receipts: video of driver in front of mailbox, time-stamped & identical to 'delivery' time. A week later the opened & torn package showed up.
Let me be honest. I wanted to stay Muslim so badly.
Not even because of God at first, but because of the life attached to it.
My dad’s businesses were waiting for me. Signed and ready.
My mom’s community. Doctors, lawyers, politicians. Connections everywhere.
Success was laid out in front of me.
There was even an arranged marriage lined up. A doctor. Beautiful future. House. Wedding. Stability.
All I had to do was say one sentence:
“Yeah, I still believe.”
That was it.
Keep the money.
Keep the family approval.
Keep the life.
But here’s what ruined it for me:
I could not unsee Jesus.
Once I really read the Quran and compared it to the Gospel, I couldn’t force myself back into pretending.
And honestly, knowledge becomes heavy at that point.
Because I didn’t leave Islam to rebel.
I left because I could not betray what I believed was true.
No business opportunity, no relationship, no comfortable future was worth denying the King who gave His life for me.
So yeah, my life would have been easier if I stayed.
But when Jesus says, “I am the way,” you don’t answer with, “But the other path feels safer.”
You pick up your cross and walk.
On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places.
At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction.
Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that.
He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building.
I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left.
I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders.
What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration.
In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years.
I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter.
I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial.
At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not.
Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me.
Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness.
But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford.
People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war.
But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges.
By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business.
It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.
“This is why Christianity is different from any other religion in the world … All other religions are you trying to get closer to God, Christianity is God who came to you.”
-Charlie Kirk
There is no version of Christianity that permits you to continue living however you want simply because “God loves you”.
True love inspires true obedience.
There are some even within the Christian nationalism camp who want preachers to stick to "spiritual" themes and not meddle in politics. Pastoring is complicated enough, the argument goes, and pastors are not political experts, so pastors should just stay in their lane.
Set aside how unReformed this is, compared to traditional Protestant practice, and how unAmerican it is, compared to our nation's founding era. Set aside the fact that much of the Bible deals with political and economic issues. Set aside the fact that our supposed "expert class" and "ruling class" have completely failed us in most areas and obviously can't fix what's wrong.
Here's my question: How is the ordinary Christian laymen supposed to get his political theology? From reading 400 page books in all his spare time? From watching Fox News after he puts the kids to bed, or overhearing CNN while waiting in the airport to catch a flight for his next business trip? Is he supposed to listen to podcasts while running the kids to Little League practice and piano lessons?
Practically speaking, if Christians are going to be informed and grounded politically, they absolutely must hear from their pastors on these topics. The pulpit is still the prow that guides the culture. Christian people instinctively look to their pastors for guidance is many areas of life. True, some pastors are wolves in sheep's clothing. Some are lacking in wisdom. Some are sincere but poorly informed themselves. All the more reason to insist on a trained and qualified pastorate. But pastors, for better or worse, are going to continue to be leaders for Christians in general. I would argue one reason we are in the mess we are in is precisely because America's conservative/traditional pastors went politically silent for most of the 20th century.
If pastors refuse to do political discipleship, the world will be glad to fill that void. And that's what has happened to large segments of evangelicalism.
From ICU Prisoner to Survivor:
Gail Seiler’s Rescue by Her Husband Huckleberry
Watch full interview here👇👇👇
https://t.co/bWpD98JrCj
In December 2021, 54-year-old Gail Seiler entered Medical City Plano in Collin County, Texas, seeking medical help. Instead, she found herself trapped in a system designed not to heal, but to harm. Like so many across the nation, Gail became a target of the government-backed COVID protocol, a rigid, profit-driven scheme that stripped patients of dignity, freedom, and choice.
From the moment she was admitted, Gail was isolated and cut off from her family. She was deprived of food and water, pressured to sign a Do Not Resuscitate order, and relentlessly pushed toward the “protocol” drugs Remdesivir, diuretics, blood thinners, and other dangerous pharmaceuticals. What she and her family pleaded for, safe and effective options such as antibiotics, vitamins, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, monoclonals, or even basic nutrition were cruelly denied. Her unvaccinated status marked her for disdain, neglect, and discriminatory treatment.
The cruelest betrayal came when Gail was told she would only be permitted last rites from her Priest if she agreed to take Remdesivir, a drug she had refused. It was spiritual blackmail using her faith against her at the most vulnerable moment of her life. To get her Priest by her bedside, she submitted to a single dose, but she knew in her heart it was not given for healing. It was coercion, a tactic seen in countless testimonies, where patients were forced into dangerous drugs through threats, deception, or outright manipulation. After her Priest was finished she told them she would not take any more Remdesivir.
Her condition rapidly declined. Gail’s family watched in horror as she was starved, dehydrated, and denied the very care that could save her. Doctors told her to prepare to die. She was not treated as a human being in need of compassion but like an animal or a number in a protocol pipeline.
But Gail’s story did not end there. When her husband, Brad “Huckleberry” Seiler, realized they were killing his wife, he took action. Brad stormed into the ICU determined to rescue her. Hospital administrators called the police. What followed was a standoff inside the very place meant to preserve life, officers threatening Brad for trying to save his own wife, siding with the institution instead of with humanity. The hospital had become a prison, guarded not by doctors but by armed enforcement of policies that were never about patient care.
Brad refused to leave without Gail. His courage, combined with their daughter’s resolve, ultimately got Gail released. Against every obstacle the hospital threw at them, Brad and their daughter took Gail home. There, away from the grip of Medical City Plano, they administered the very treatments she had been denied: budesonide, ivermectin, vitamins, supplements, real medicine, proper nutrition, hydration, and loving care. Within days, Gail began to recover. She survived, not because of the hospital, but in spite of it.
Today, Gail Seiler lives to tell this story, and she has dedicated her life to making sure no other family endures what hers did. As a volunteer and President of Betrayal Project USA, she leads a movement of survivors, widows, widowers, and bereaved families who are exposing the truth about these crimes against humanity. Together, they are documenting victim testimonies, demanding accountability, and building a national community of support and reform.
Gail’s survival is not just a personal victory, but a living testimony to the resilience of families who fought back against a system that sought to erase them. Her story reveals the darkest truths: hospitals isolated patients, starved them, coerced them into toxic drugs, pressured them to sign away their rights, and even used law enforcement to enforce death-dealing policies. These were not isolated tragedies. They were part of a coordinated, profit-driven scheme that killed hundreds of thousands under the guise of public health.
This cannot be ignored. These are egregious crimes against humanity. They must be stopped.
Betrayal Project USA was founded by victims, for victims. We exist so stories like Gail’s are heard, honored, and preserved and so the system that allowed this betrayal is held to account. If you or a loved one has been harmed by COVID hospital protocols, shots, or policies, we urge you: document your story. Visit https://t.co/fBMQxFw9gY and add your voice to the growing chorus demanding justice, reform, and an end to institutional betrayal.
Because what happened to Gail and to millions of others must never be allowed to happen again.
This Memorial Wall is dedicated to victims of Medical Betrayal, those who lost their lives due to COVID-19 hospital protocols, in hospice and nursing homes, Covid shots and through other forms of institutional harm. We reject the narrative that these lives were simply lost to illness and stand to ensure their stories are seen, heard, and remembered.👇👇👇

This. I’m sad about the Alberry news and I’m praying for him today, especially that he will have the right counselors and shepherds around him. Because it is abundantly clear that those at a Immanel Nashville are not up to the job.
The much bigger discussion we need to have is about the theology surrounding this revelation. Because it is entrenched, and it is embraced by the organizations that Alberry was involved in leading.
And that makes it different than the revelation of a pastor caught in an affair with a woman. Because in that case, we would find no one who would say that there was anything excusable about his desire for another woman who was not his wife.
But these organizations, Immanuel Nashville and TGC, have helped disseminate Alberry’s teaching that same-sex desire is not sinful.
And that is a predictable way to shipwreck the faith of those struggling with same-sex sins.
Unfortunately, Talarico’s misunderstanding of God leads him to advance anti-biblical policies based on an errant conception of love. — Jonathan Lawler https://t.co/o6ARUQZj0l via @theinstitutefc
Alysa Liu recently went viral for comments she made in a Vanity Fair interview.
“Look at a Gothic cathedral, then look at the Obama Presidential Library,” Liu said. “That’s the difference between a civilization that believed in God and one that believes in bureaucracy.”
I will always tell the American people the truth.
Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk. Chemical manufacturers have paid tens of billions of dollars to settle cancer claims linked to their products, and many agricultural communities report elevated cancer rates and chronic disease.
Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous.
I support President Trump’s Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations. His EO protects two pillars of national strength: our defense readiness and our food supply. When hostile actors control critical inputs, they directly threaten the security of the American people. The Trump administration will secure these supply chains to eliminate that vulnerability.
President Trump did not build our current system — he inherited it. For decades, Washington designed modern agriculture. Policymakers wrote farm policy, directed research dollars, structured subsidies and crop insurance, and shaped commodity markets to reward monocultures and maximum yield. Those deliberate choices locked farmers into chemical dependence and prioritized short-term output over long-term soil vitality and human health.
We are now changing course — without destabilizing the food supply.
Alongside @USDA@SecRollins, we are accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by expanding farming systems that rebuild soil, increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, including pre-harvest desiccation.
We are also driving the rapid adoption of next-generation technologies, including laser-guided weed control, electrothermal and electrical systems, robotics, precision mechanical cultivation, and biological controls that replace blanket spraying with precision intervention.
These solutions are not theoretical. Farmers are already putting them to work. Markets are scaling them. Now the federal government will act with urgency to expand their reach and accelerate adoption nationwide.
I have met with hundreds of farmers and agricultural leaders across the country. They understand the pressures firsthand. Chemical inputs cut into margins. Chemical-resistant pests are spreading. Soil health is declining. Foreign markets are shutting out American produce. Farmers want workable alternatives, and they want policies that support transition without threatening their livelihoods.
At HHS, I am leading a coordinated effort grounded in gold standard science. I am working with Secretary Rollins and @EPALeeZeldin to expedite a better future where a thriving agricultural system is less dependent on harmful chemicals. We are sharing data, coordinating strategy, and supporting farmers through a practical transition.
The Make America Healthy Again agenda forces us to challenge long-standing assumptions about how we grow food, structure markets, and measure success in this country. Reform at this scale will test entrenched interests, and it will not move in a straight line.
President Trump has opened the door to this debate and backed meaningful change — not only in policy, but in the national conversation about health and agriculture.
American farmers stand at the center of this movement. They deserve policies rooted in rigorous science and economic reality. Our children deserve a food system that protects and strengthens their health.
With President Trump’s leadership, we are securing critical supply chains, confronting the health risks embedded in our current system, and deploying every available tool to build a stronger, safer, more resilient American food supply.
For nine months, my wife Brooklyn carried our baby boy knowing he was dying. Three months in, they told us he had severe hydrocephalus. Too much fluid crushing his brain. "Off the charts bad," the specialists at Cincinnati Children's said. So extreme they stopped measuring because it didn't matter anymore.
The MRIs were sickening to look at. They said over 90% chance he'd either die right after birth or survive with such severe brain damage that any quality of life was impossible. We had meetings about breathing tubes. About when to remove life support. About letting our son "pass peacefully."
Brooklyn moved to Cincinnati, lived in a hotel near the hospital in case she went into labor. I drove back and forth, working, trying to hold our family together while planning our baby's funeral. On July 8th, fifteen minutes before her C-section, we had another meeting about the breathing tube. About when we'd need to remove it and let him go to Heaven.
Then Charlie came out crying. The sweetest sound I've ever heard.
He stayed in intensive care until yesterday. Now he's home, doing everything babies do. Normal. Beautiful. The doctors have no medical explanation. His brain somehow cleared the blockage on its own, something they've never seen in a case this severe. Nurses with decades of experience kept saying "miracle" and "divine intervention."
Thousands of people were praying for us. Friends, family, strangers, people we'd never met. I'm practical, I believe in science, but I know God was involved in this. I give Him all the credit.
During those endless nights in Cincinnati, I started woodworking in the hotel parking lot just to keep my hands busy, to stop my mind from breaking. Made small toys hoping one day Charlie might hold them. Listed a few things on the Tedooo app where I'd been selling my work, and strangers started buying pieces they didn't need, sending messages saying they were praying for our son. That community held me when I couldn't stand.
Charlie's here. He's alive. Prayer is real, and miracles still happen.
