Right now, my good friend Keith Malinak is in the ICU fighting through the aftermath of a massive stroke. If you would take a moment, please pray. Pray for full restoration, and pray for strength for his family.
A GiveSendGo has been set up to help cover the massive bills coming their way. If you can, please give. If you can’t, please share and keep praying. https://t.co/XOF7MyyJFs
Alex Clark: "If you could offer one remedy to heal a sick culture, physically, emotionally or spiritually, what would that remedy be?"
Ben Shapiro: "Go to Church and I say this as a Jew. Go to Church."
I don't want to make a martyr of the Fort Hood terrorist. @POTUS@SecWar if you really want to deter future Islamist terrorists, use fear and shame in their executions. All-female firing squads with bullets dipped in bacon fat.
“Dad I’m calling you from the phone of a Jew! I just killed her and her husband. With my own hands I killed 10 Jews!”
Chilling conversation from Oct 7th, between a Hamas terrorist from Gaza and his father, who is crying with pride.
Never forget this sick evil!
Judge not, lest you be judged. A huge part of my childhood was spent at Heritage USA, and I still look back fondly on the memories my family made there. Prayers for all who loved him.
I was saddened to hear today that Jim Bakker had passed away. Jim was responsible for giving Samaritan’s Purse our first major television exposure, and I will be forever grateful for his support and help. Jim enjoyed helping other people. He showcased many ministries on his program and introduced numerous preachers of the Gospel to a much broader audience. The last time I saw him was a few days before my father’s funeral in Charlotte, NC. He came by my office to see me and give his personal condolences. I asked him if he would be at the funeral, and he said, “Am I invited?” I told him that he was absolutely invited and that my father would be disappointed if he wasn’t there. Jim was a friend, and he will be missed. My prayers are with his family.
Do you want to know what's at stake this November?
Right now, House committee dems are developing ideas for potential oversight actions (hearings, leg items, reports, etc). They are preparing *now* for a win in November, so they can begin a full court press in January.
This will cover every department and agency action from the routine (eg reprogramming funds from pet programs) to the more involved (Maduro, cartel strikes, etc). The House has historically been the chamber dedicated to the theater portion of “political theater” but if the Dems win, expect it to look like a musical of organized chaos.
There will be a lot of throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. And committee leaders will use their positions to figure out what attacks are resonating and which ones aren’t. The focus will be more on the bread and butter issues: healthcare, affordability, etc. And expect House Dems to come together on legislative items to push that message on bills that will allow them to make Senate Rs look like they are against making living more affordable for American workers.
The culture wars will also be on the table, but it will be focused less on making points you'd hear from the Western Mass covid conscious bar patrons, and more on constituencies that have traditionally represented core voting blocks for Dems (women, minorities, etc). To the extent there will be any DSA-esque talking points mirrored- it will be those intersectionality issues that connect class-conscioussness with race-consciousness, and framed in subtle and not-entirely-accurate ways like "the disappearing Black middle class."
And because no member of this administration will want to cooperate with any policy and/or character assassination attempts by the House, expect support for these efforts from the usual suspects and new players of DC think tanks and advocacy orgs. [Side note: a good tell of whether a "Committee Report" is substantively driven vs theater driven: is it authored by both sides or just one (with minority views), does it lift whole passages or policy points from outside orgs, and was any agency involved in creating it?]
To the extent the American people want to see a focus on real, workable policies that *actually* help families and working class Americans, do not look to the House. Assuming the House does flip, and the Senate stays like it (with possibly thinner margins), you can expect even less (no, don't laugh) from Congress next year.
