Step Up, Pastors! America Needs You!

That’s the message Reverend Willy Rice, the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, is telling pastors in America. He’s telling them to step up and don’t be afraid to get involved in the political process because America needs their voices now more than ever!

Our Founding Fathers declared that our rights and our liberty come from God, not government. They believed only a virtuous people, grounded in religion and morality, could remain free. 

But over time, the lies of the Left took root. The “wall of separation between church and state” became “Keep your religion out of politics” and “You can’t legislate morality.” Sadly, atheists are now the most politically active group in America. 

The Left has no problem legislating its immorality, including forcing Christians to subsidize abortion on demand and humiliating our daughters by allowing boys into girls’ bathrooms. 

Reverend Rice is urging pastors to speak about politics because so many “political issues” are in fact moral issues. In a recent interview Rice said, “. . .many political issues that are, at their heart, theological issues and moral issues that strike at the very center of what we believe to be true and what we believe people need to know in order to flourish personally and as a culture.”

I have been “preaching” this for decades!

The Religious Left Is Lying 

The Religious Left is all in when it comes to pushing its radical agenda in the political arena. Speaking from the pulpit of a Catholic church in Syracuse, New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned the congregation that conservatives were trying to “make us turn against our immigrant brothers and sisters [and] our trans brothers and sisters.”

Did you catch the sleight of hand there? 

Conservatives are not critical of legal immigrants. We welcome legal immigrants. We are fighting against the illegal alien invasion her party imposed on America and will impose on us again if they regain power. 

And notice the contradiction in her statement. Somehow, she’s linking illegal aliens and transgender people. But many of the illegal aliens she is so eager to defend are coming from countries that persecute transgenders. 

She is making a totally bizarre argument, but it’s another example of the radical Left uniting with radical Islam because they have one thing in common. Leftists like Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani and AOC despise America, and want to “fundamentally transform” it into a Marxist hellhole.

The Supreme Court Is In Session

It’s the first Monday of October, and that means it’s the beginning of the Supreme Court’s new term. Today, the justices heard oral arguments in one of the most important cases they will hear this year—whether left-wing cities, in the name of “climate change,” can sue the energy industry into bankruptcy. Just another example of how the Democrats’ “affordability” talk is a huge scam. 

The justices will also hear important cases involving election integrity, immigration, parental rights and Second Amendment rights.

In a recent interview, Justice Samuel Alito said that he considered retiring last term. And, given his age (76), he will consider retiring this term as well. Just think about the implications of that!

On a really good day, six of the nine justices will vote our way. On most days, we’ll get five of the nine justices. Of those five, there are only two we can count on every time—Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. 

If Alito retires next year, it will be impossible for President Trump to fill his seat if Democrats control the Senate. And if AOC or Gavin Newsom wins the presidency in 2028, Alito’s seat will be filled in 2029 with another leftist hack like Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson—the woman who told Congress she can’t define what a woman is.

If the Left regains control of the Supreme Court, don’t underestimate their willingness to put abortion back into the Constitution. And, while they’re at it, they will make the Constitution reflect the radical LGBTQ agenda, too.

Hamas Says “No Genocide In Gaza”

Whenever you hear someone on the Left talking about the so-called “genocide in Gaza,” they always refer to the death toll offered by the Gaza Health Ministry. Those figures should be taken with a whole shaker of salt because the ministry is run by Hamas, just like everything else in Gaza. 

That said, the Gaza Health Ministry just updated its mortality data for 2025. It reported 24,650 total deaths last year. But there were twice as many live births in Gaza last year. In other words, the population of Gaza is growing. That is not a “genocide” or a population in a forced decline.

Those claiming there is a “genocide” in Gaza, including Tucker Carlson, need to apologize.

Iran’s October Surprise

I recently wrote about the possibility of Iran attempting some kind of “October surprise” to hurt President Trump and Republicans in the election. Of course, I’m not talking about the usual dirty tricks we’ve come to expect in the closing days of a campaign. 

I’m talking about a terrorist attack that Democrats and their media allies will blame Trump for because he “started an unnecessary war against Iran.” 

But just think about what we saw in recent days. First, a plot to attack U.S. bombers based in Great Britain was interrupted. Then, there was a plot to hijack a flight full of Israeli citizens and crash the plane into Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv.

I don’t think those were the only things planned. God forbid, but I think Iran and Islamist groups have many more major attacks waiting to be launched. 

I am praying that the intelligence and security agencies of the United States and Israel are on full alert. But we should also steel ourselves to the very real possibility that there could be some very difficult headlines over the next 29 days.

Brazil Moves Right

Brazilian voters went to the polls yesterday to cast their votes for president. Socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is seeking his fourth term, received 45% of the vote. Populist conservative Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro, Jair Bolsonaro’s son, received 47% of the vote. Since neither candidate received 50%, a runoff election will be held later this month.

Now, here’s something Fake Media won’t tell you. This was the eighth election in Latin America that conservatives have won since Donald Trump dismantled USAID. That can’t be a coincidence!

Some may say, “Why are you linking those things? USAID helps support poor people in foreign countries.” Well, that’s exactly the point. While USAID did help some poor people in other countries, it was also a CIA front group.

The Deep State used USAID’s “good guy” image to camouflage its clandestine efforts around the world, including meddling in the elections of foreign nations. When Barack Obama and Joe Biden were in power, those elections were always tilted toward leftist candidates. They even tried to do it in Israel to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Your tax dollars were being used to elect socialist and even Marxist parties all over the world. Now Donald Trump is doing everything he can to promote forces of freedom and democracy around the world. 

Polls show many Hispanics are not happy with Donald Trump right now and may vote heavily for Democrats this year. They should think again. Trump is trying to restore many of the nations that Hispanic immigrants fled in recent decades.

Update On France

Over the weekend, the American media started paying a little bit of attention to the riots in France. More than 500 hundred schools have been shut down. Dozens were looted and burned by the rioters. Many of the riots, which were hijacked by the far-left, were concentrated in heavily Muslim neighborhoods around Paris. 

Pope Leo was just in Paris. Reports said 700,000 people turned out to greet him, and nothing was burned down. There were no riots by people running around clad in black, wearing masks and assaulting French citizens. 

The people turning out for Pope Leo represented the old France. These rioters destroying schools represent the new France or whatever will be left that isn’t burned to the ground.
