I have a dream. I dream of a day when men in the West will find their spines and testicles, and rise up against parasitized suicidal empathy. I dream of a day when the populace will rise up against parasitic taxation whereby a large chunk of an individual's hard-earned money is stolen. I dream of a day when universities recommit to intellectual enrichment void of ideological activism. I dream of a day when people recognize that all religions are not equally congruent with our liberties and freedoms. I dream of a day when our grandchildren will live in freer societies than those of our grandparents. I dream of a day when people who fail to recognize the two phenotypes (male and female) are laughed out of public discourse. I dream of a day when every single person who adheres to a religious ideology that wishes to exterminate us is removed from our midst. Freedom and truth are the ideals from which all else that is good flows. I have a dream.
I am an evangelical Christian. I am a Trump supporter. I believe in America First with every fiber of my being. And I am one of the most dangerous people to anyone trying to peddle Jew hatred as foreign policy because I know my Bible, I know my history, I know what this movement actually stands for, and I am going to TRIPLE down.
Trump inherited a Middle East on fire and left it transformed. He moved the American embassy to Jerusalem. Three presidents before him promised it. None of them did it.
He destroyed ISIS.
He killed Qasem Soleimani.
I supported getting out of endless wars. I still do. Demanding that American foreign policy serve American interests is legitimate. Being skeptical of neoconservative nation-building fantasies is legitimate.
None of it has any bearing on Iran.
I am not a neocon. I cannot be dismissed as a warmonger or an establishment stooge or a globalist who doesn’t care about American lives.
I care enormously about American lives. I want American soldiers home. I want American money spent on Americans. I want an end to the era of nation-building fantasies that turned the Middle East into a graveyard for American kids from towns that never recovered from losing them.
AND I know my Bible. And my Bible tells me in terms that do not require a seminary degree to understand that God made an unconditional covenant with the Jewish people, that the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable Romans 11:29, look it up and that the nation that has returned to its ancestral homeland after two thousand years of exile and survived seven wars of annihilation is not a geopolitical accident.
I am dangerous because I hold both things simultaneously and I will not let either one be used against the other. My foreign policy skepticism cannot be weaponized into antisemitism because my theology won’t allow it. My theology cannot be dismissed as naive because my foreign policy analysis is serious.
The Jew-hating fake right currently parasitizing this movement has a very specific vulnerability.
It depends on people not knowing what Trump actually did. It depends on people not knowing what the Bible actually says.
It depends on people not knowing that the foreign policy critique they are nodding along to is a vehicle for a destination they never agreed to travel to.
It depends on the evangelical base being too polite, too conflict-averse, and too institutionally cautious to name the operation for what it is.
I am none of those things.
And those who can’t win on the message always try to take out the messenger.
I do this because I want my kids to grow up in a free country, because God blessed with this platform even though I have no podcast, no coupon code, no vitamins and no endorsement deals.
I say what I want. And if you don’t like it, scroll up.
Christianity is anti-socialism.
Christ didn’t command Caesar to heal the sick for free, cloth and house the poor by redistributing wealth.
Christ commanded believers to do those things. As individuals. Personal charity, personal responsibility.
You don’t get to outsource the work of the Holy Spirit to the civil magistrate and call it Christianity.
In the words of the great @dbongino the Republican Party is not the answer to all your problems. They may not even be the answer to most of them. But today’s Democratic Party is the source of every single one of them.
Vote accordingly.
President Trump stood in front of the UN today, a body full of socialist and communist failures, and talked about lifting record numbers of Americans out of poverty through the private sector - in addition to shrinking the federal government and growing private sector employment. Key points as the socialists and communists in America claim their systems will work better to the benefit of everyday Americans. They will not - history and the current Trump administration prove it.
Trump Bans the Fake News. So Obama Thunders Down from Olympus
The White House Press corps and the liberal media have gone ballistic over President Trump’s recent banning of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House press room.
Apparently Trump had finally had it with their decade-long trail of “fake news” (e.g., CNN on the Steele dossier: the intelligence community had “corroborated all the details.”; MS(NBC): “All the supporting details in Steele's reports are checking out, even the really outrageous ones.”; and Politico (“Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”).
Or maybe it was Trump’s weariness that CNN and MS never learned from their serial untruth.
The former for years put on their news shows the admitted liar (“least most untruthful”) James Clapper; The latter likewise hired the twice-admitted-liar John Brennan (on his demonstrable spying on Senate computers, Brennan thundered under oath: “Nothing could be further from the truth. We wouldn't do that.”)
So after witnessing the fake news’s spreading lies about the “walls are closing in on Trump” Mueller Investigation, ginning up the “mostly peaceful” 2020 riots, running with the Jussie Smollett farce, demonizing the Covington Kids, iconizing the assailant Trayvon Martin, and promulgating the “Hands up, Don’t Shoot” Ferguson fable, and on and on—I suppose Trump finally had enough.
In reaction and as expected, a sanctimonious Barack Obama now has jetted out from one of his three mansions and into the expulsion controversy.
And also as his wont, Obama almost immediately on spec opened himself up to the usual charges of rank hypocrisy and empty, performance-art virtue-signaling.
So Obama thundered, “I’m trying to think what would have happened if I had said, ‘You know what, Fox News? You’re out of here.’ It’s unimaginable.”
Actually, it’s not “unimaginable”, if Obama would just look into the mirror.
So wait a minute.
In 2009 the Obama Treasury Department tried to ban a Fox reporter from a press pool interview.
Earlier during the 2008 campaign, Obama kicked out New York Post and Washington Times reporters from his campaign plane.
But Obama was most notorious not for just excluding politically incorrect reporters but for surveilling and spying on them.
Even liberal watchdog foundations blasted Obama in 2012-13 for grabbing the private records of some twenty phone lines used at home and on the job by Associated Press reporters.
Most notoriously, it was finally revealed in 2013 that Obama’s State Department secretly had bird-dogged Fox Reporter James Rosen relentlessly— tracking his movements, obtaining a search warrant to examined two days’ worth of his private emails, and getting access to his private phone records.
If Obama is still “trying to think what would have happened” when he surveilled and spied on a Fox reporter relentlessly, he can stop—since nothing as usual happened to the always exempt Obama.
And Obama did not just at times eject reporters and surveille them.
He also threatened to prosecute eight reporters and their sources (more than any administration before or since, including Richard Nixon’s). But he backed down when the AP and Rosen scandals surfaced and cooled down his Inspector Javert alter ego.
The hammer/stiletto difference between a loud Trump and a smooth Obama?
Trump blows up publicly, rails, and earns furor from “shocked”, sober and judicious journalists” who covet their White House billets—while he also earns the damnation of the liberal legacy media for his antics.
But far more egregiously Obama used the powers of the administrative state, secretly and quietly, to surveille, follow, and spy on reporters and their sources, while threatening to prosecute and jail others—and he disguised his vindictiveness by his lofty tone and polished demeanor.
As he anticipated, Obama’s victims and the media itself largely kept still, afraid to concede that their messianic “constitutional lawyer” possessed an Orwellian mean streak and was a far greater danger to the First Amendment.
Or as the Left taught us, the fundamental threat to our Constitution is when “democracy dies in darkness.”
Postscript:
Obama also could not resist his “clingers” like demonization of Trump supporters, in the fashion of Hillary’s “deplorables” and “irredeemables”, and Biden’s “garbage”, “chumps”, “semi-fascists”, and “dregs”.
So he also blasted not just Trump for the expulsions, but returned to his accustomed stereotype putdown of Neanderthal-like Trump supporters who are supposedly under-developed (e.g., “what that means is that we’ve have not developed the kind of understanding of what democracy requires”):
“If you have a certain cohort, let's call it 30 to 35 percent of the country right now, which thinks that's okay, well, what that means is we have not developed the kind of understanding of what democracy requires, and we've got to shore that back up.”
I wonder how Obama would do that shoring up of a third of America? Surveilling, tracking, and spying on them?
Note finally, that even Hillary’s deplorables were only half of Trump’s half of the nation, “You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables”) whereas Obama writes off a third of the entire country!
From Trump's stick-to-the-text speech today at the UN: "It is deeply ironic that the United Nations has an entire institution, the UNESCO group of people and countries devoted to protecting cultural heritage. Yet with their ceaseless promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history. There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation, and we want to remain a sovereign nation. And so should you."
The primary purpose of government is to secure individual rights, administer justice, maintain public order, defend the nation, and create the legal and economic conditions in which people are can prosper, raise families and make decisions like having a mom stay home with her children.
That means protecting property rights, enforcing contracts, maintaining sound institutions, removing unnecessary barriers to economic activity, pursuing policies conducive to growth and opportunity such as maybe balancing the budget. Cutting spending. Cutting regulations.
Government does not exist to decide what kind of life people should live and then use taxes, subsidies, or welfare benefits to financially engineer them toward that choice.
I hate when the left obliterates that distinction.
I will hate it just as much if the right starts to do the same.
Sixty-two years and $22 trillion later, the U.S. poverty rate sits at roughly 11 percent, almost identical to where Lyndon Johnson found it in 1964. The government ran the most expensive social experiment in human history and produced nothing measurable. Bureaucracies perpetuate themselves, and this policy worked exactly as designed.
When Washington transfers purchasing power to the poor through SNAP, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and 126 other overlapping programs, it doesn't eliminate scarcity; it relocates decision-making from individuals to administrators. Those administrators develop career interests in perpetuating dependency, because a solved problem eliminates their department.
Free market thinkers identified this perverse incentive structure before Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act. Every dollar taxed from productive activity carries a deadweight cost before it reaches anyone's dinner table.
Capital formation lifts people out of poverty. You build wealth through savings, property rights, and voluntary exchange, none of which $22 trillion in redistributed spending actually produced.
If you believe in predestination, meaning God decided before birth who would believe and who would not, how do you explain all the verses that appeal to reason and free will?

The only high tax policy I’d love to see is a 65% tax on anyone who votes for a socialist.
If they want socialism so bad, it can start with them. This would last for four years after your most recent socialist vote. I fully endorse this.
Does everyone love it as much as I do?
🚨 BREAKING: Victor Davis Hanson Drops a FIERY TRUTH BOMBSHELL! 🔥
“We didn’t storm the beaches of Normandy… didn’t bleed and die in the trenches of World War I… didn’t sacrifice everything in World War II… JUST TO BE LECTURED BY NEWCOMERS on why America is ‘racist’ and ‘flawed’!”
Do you think Hamilton and Jefferson fought and died for YOU?
250 years of American blood—from Gettysburg to Belleau Wood to Iwo Jima—only for first- and second-generation arrivals to march in and declare:
“Your Constitution is garbage. The Founders were racists. When we take power, we’re tearing it all down.”
ENOUGH.
This is OUR country. We built it. We defended it with our lives.
If you come here, assimilate—or go home.

Let's be clear - none of the three HHS secretaries under Presidents Obama and Biden held an MD or PhD.
Kathleen Sebelius (Obama, 2009–2014): Held a Bachelor of Arts (Trinity Washington University) and a Master of Public Administration (University of Kansas). She did not have a doctorate or medical degree.
Sylvia Mathews Burwell (Obama, 2014–2017) did not possess a master's, PhD, or other advanced degree.
Xavier Becerra (Biden, 2021–2025): Held a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a Juris Doctor (JD) from Stanford University. He is an attorney, not a medical doctor or PhD holder.
So - why has mainstream media made such a BFD about Kennedy not being a scientist or MD? Why do they continue to hammer at this?
From now, until the midterms, this is your daily reminder that we live in a world where we have to constantly choose the lesser of two evils. It is not about what the Republican Party has done. It is about what the Democratic Party will do. That is where we are. You don’t have to like that reality, but it is still nonetheless the reality.
A vote for the left is a vote for open borders and abortion up until the moment of birth and race based taxes and the DSA.
Republicans may not be the answer to your problems, but democrats are the source of every single one.
You’re the biggest idiot if you bring a poisonous snake into your home, feed it, protect it, take care of it, and then convince yourself it will love you back
A snake does not stop being poisonous because you treated it kindly
If someone openly tells you they hate you and want to destroy you, believe them....they really do
To state that all religions fit under one common umbrella and hence are equally non-threatening to our liberties is akin to stating that all mammals with four legs are indistinguishable from one another when it comes to their likelihood to pose a threat to humans. A hare is a four-legged mammal as is a Siberian tiger. Your ability to survive in an enclosure with either is not the same. Wake up.
Republicans are not the answer to your problem. But democrats are the source of every single one. We live in a world where we must constantly choose the lesser of two evils.
That’s why we choose capitalism and vote Republican. Not because either of those are perfect. Because the alternative is insane and destructive.
