Arrest them all

[Weylan Deaver @wdeaver]

Bravo, Sec. Rubio.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law — empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.

We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.

“The Bible of the Revolution”

The War for Independence brought to a halt the importation of Bibles from England to the Colonies, and no Bible had yet been printed on American shores. The first man to go about rectifying the problem was Philadelphia printer, Robert Aitken, and he did so with the enthusiastic support of Congress. In January 1781 Aitken petitioned the Congress to sanction publication of the new Bible translation on which he was working. Among other things, Aitken stated in his request:

“no doubt but this work is an Object worthy the attention of the Congress of the United States of America, who will not neglect spiritual security, while they are virtuously contending for temporal blessings. Under this persuasion your Memorialist begs leave to, inform your Honours That he both begun and made considerable progress in a neat Edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools, But being cautious of suffering his copy of the Bible to Issue forth without the sanction of Congress, Humbly prays that your Honours would take this important matter into serious consideration & would be pleased to appoint one Member or Members of your Honourable Body to inspect his work so that the same may be published under the Authority of Congress.”

Do you know what happened? Congress studied Aitken’s proposal and then approved it on September 12, 1782. Charles Thomson was Secretary of the Continental Congress, and also a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He signed the approval of Aitken’s proposal with this ringing endorsement:

“RESOLVED, THAT the United States in Congress assembled highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken, as subservient to the interest of religion, as well as an instance of the progress of arts in this country, and being satisfied from the above report of his care and accuracy in the execution of the work, they recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorize him to publish this Recommendation in the manner he shall think proper.”

It came to be known as the Bible of the Revolution. Of course, that was a different day, when Congress was peopled with statesmen rather than politicians, and when the Bible was not an embarrassment to be seen on the public stage. With an increasing antipathy toward God, many believe the Bible is expected to rest in silence on a shelf, making no impact in Congress, the courts, or the White House. Gone are the days when Congress actively fanned the Bible’s influence. Now, it seems, many elected officials would do whatever to ensure the Bible holds as little sway as possible. Jesus Christ said, “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48). No country, America included, is going to last forever. And when eternal destinies are decided, the basis of judgment will not be our Constitution, a Supreme Court decision, an executive order, or a political poll. Every one of us will be judged by the gospel of Christ. Let us be grateful for 250 years of freedom, realizing the blessing is from above, and that the basis of our future judgment rests in the Bible.

If America is, as Lincoln said, “a new nation, conceived in liberty,” then the Lord’s church is an older new nation (1 Peter 2:9), conceived in greatest liberty, “and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Happy 250th!

[David Cook @DavidCookTexas]

Today, we celebrate 250 years of American independence.

On July 4, 1776, ordinary men did something extraordinary. They declared that our rights come from God—not government—and risked everything to secure our freedom.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." - President Ronald Reagan

Happy Independence Day! God Bless America. 🇺🇸

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Good news for Texas. Congrats @DonHuffines

[Attorney General Todd Blanche @AGToddBlanche]

Today the Supreme Court delivered a massive victory for the Second Amendment in Wolford v. Lopez.

The Court struck down Hawaii’s restrictive “vampire law,” which improperly limited the right to bear arms on private property.

The Department of Justice is proud to have defended the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans in this case.

We will continue protecting the Second Amendment under President Trump’s leadership and will never allow any state to violate the right to bear arms.

Update the style and bring this back. Every homosexual is a threat to spiritual safety, or physical safety, or both.

Government schools have done worse than just fail. When God isn’t honored, harming young minds is inevitable.

Homeschooling isn't an "experiment"

People were learning at home for thousands of years.

Factory schooling is the experiment.

And that experiment has failed.

Make 8 #1, but these are all good.

Everyone agrees! The governor, the incoming Sec. of State, the Republican Party of Texas, the Attorney General, the U.S. Supreme Court…private organizations have a right of association. Close the primaries now! Let’s GO!
