Romans 12:18 NASB
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

When they scream, "No Kings!"

They are rejecting Jesus Christ.

They are rejecting His work on the cross.

They are rejecting His resurrection.

Is it mere coincidence that they plan their denial on the weekend of Palm Sunday?

Well the Supreme Court has made their decision…and apparently 5 of the justices think the authors of the 14th amendment clearly meant anyone could randomly show up illegally, have a baby, and that suddenly meant citizenship.

We should now move to significantly cut all immigration, and significantly reduce visas.

Look, I wanted to be reasonable. But reason doesn’t seem to work for some people, so now we have to take more drastic measures.

It’s a shame really, but that’s where we are.

“We are NOT a Christian nation!”
“Separation of church and state!”
“Benjamin Franklin was a deist!”

On this date, June 28, 1787, Benjamin Franklin delivered his famous “Prayer Speech” at the Constitutional Convention.

This is the one where Franklin, amid deadlocks and frustrations in the Convention, implored the delegates to begin sessions with prayer, acknowledging human limitations and seeking divine assistance. Here is the full transcript (from James Madison’s notes and standard historical sources, with minor spelling normalizations for readability):

Mr. President:
The small progress we have made after four or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other—our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed modern states all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.
In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.—Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance?

I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that “except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it.” I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and byword down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.
I therefore beg leave to move—that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that service.

March 19, 2026. Chicago, Illinois.

An 18-year-old college freshman walks down to the lake at midnight with her friends.

A pier. A lighthouse. The Chicago skyline. Maybe the northern lights if they're lucky.

She is a freshman at Loyola University. She is from New York. She is studying business.

She is the kind of girl who is always the first to hug you at the door, and the last to hug you goodbye.

She believes in God. She does Bible study. She volunteers for charity.

She is eighteen years old.

At the end of the pier, behind the lighthouse, a man is hiding.

He is dressed in all black. He is wearing a ski mask. He is holding a forty caliber handgun.

She walks ahead of her friends to the end of the pier and sees him.

She whispers to her friends, "someone is behind the lighthouse."

The man leaps out.

The girls turn and run.

He fires once. Into her back.

She falls on the pier. Her friends keep running because they have to.

When they come back, she is bleeding out by the lighthouse.

She is eighteen years old.

She is gone before the ambulance arrives.

Now you need to hear what happened BEFORE the lighthouse.

The man who shot her was never supposed to be in this country.

He crossed the border illegally in 2023. Border Patrol caught him.

And then Border Patrol released him.

Six weeks later, the same man was arrested again. This time in Chicago. For shoplifting.

Chicago could have called ICE. Chicago refused.

Chicago is a sanctuary city. Illinois is a sanctuary state. The law there forbids local police from cooperating with federal immigration officers.

So the man walked.

And then he didn't even bother to show up to his own court date.

A warrant was issued.

And nothing happened.

For almost three years, nothing happened.

He just lived in Chicago. With a warrant out for his arrest. In a city that had chosen, on principle, to not look.

Until the night he picked up a forty caliber pistol, put on a black ski mask, walked to the end of a pier, and waited behind a lighthouse for someone to kill.

Read that timeline again.

2023: caught at the border. Released.
2023: arrested in Chicago. Released.
2023: skipped court. Warrant issued. Ignored.
2026: an 18-year-old college freshman walks out to see the skyline.

The system had three chances.

The system used zero of them.

This is not me saying it. This is her family's lawyer, in a public statement:

"We are gravely disappointed by the policies and failures that allowed this individual to remain in a position to commit this crime. When systems fail, the consequences are not abstract. They are real. And in our case, they are permanent."

Permanent.

That is the word her family chose. Permanent. As in: she is not coming back.

An 18-year-old girl walked out to a pier in the middle of the night to look at the Chicago skyline with the people she loved.

She believed she lived in a country where you could do that.

The country she believed in failed her.

Not by accident. By policy. Written down. Signed. Defended.

Defended even now, while her parents bury her in New York.

She should be in class this morning.

She should be hugging her friends after Bible study.

She should be calling her mom from her dorm.

She should be alive.

A border that worked would have saved her. A city that called ICE would have saved her. A courtroom that chased a warrant would have saved her.

Three doors. All locked. From the inside.

By the people we elected to protect her.

Her name was Sheridan.

She was eighteen.

Don't let this country forget what was traded for a slogan.

And God bless every single American who refuses to call this normal.

Nope.

Jesus knows your heart. Jesus wants faithful obedience.

Yes, you want good theology so you avoid bad practice.

But early Christians were saved as illiterates who never had a New Testament. Some 2nd century saints wrote about saving local barbarian tribes who had nothing but tradition. They accepted Jesus and followed Him without even a Bible to read.

You’ll be a better Christian with knowledge, but Jesus knows the heart.

This has to be one of the bravest videos I have watched on the internet today.

When Charlie Kirk died it hit so many us of really hard. Not only was it a profound loss but the reality was that the left really wants conservatives dead because of political views. They are ok with m*rdering people if you dont conform to their political ideology.

These are dangerous times.

In a way it also (like this man here in the video) "woke" people up. They realized the political propaganda, media manipulation, and the dehumanization occuring by the left and media.

He learned something far more valuable in the death of Charlie Kirk.

This took a lot of guts to post this video online. I commend him.
