Trump's Tremendous Address
President Trump spoke at the United Nations yesterday. He gave a powerful speech to the audience of Third World dictators and Europeans sunk in the quagmire of socialism. And the atmosphere surrounding his UN appearance was very different from last year.
When President Trump went to make his first UN address of his second term, he was met by bitter bureaucrats who hated him and his America First policies. They made multiple attempts to sabotage his UN speech.
It started when the escalator suddenly stopped working as the president and the first lady were going up a long flight of stairs. Not long after the president began speaking, the teleprompter failed. Later on, there was a problem with the audio that made it difficult, if not impossible, for many delegates to hear him.
It doesn’t take a genius to know these things were intentional. Thankfully, there was none of that petty nonsense yesterday, even as President Trump confronted the United Nations for its corruption and increasing irrelevance.
The Battle Of Worldviews
One of the most important things President Trump said is being totally ignored by the media. After blasting the UN’s “ceaseless promotion of mass migration,” Trump declared, “There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.” The president warned that globalists are destroying the “most extraordinary heritage in all of history.”
We see it in the headlines almost every day. Europe is in turmoil as tens of thousands of Third World migrants storm across open borders and overwhelm small communities. Populist parties of protest are rising up in every country. What’s going on?
You can put almost every headline in the context of the president’s observation.
This is a battle between two opposing worldviews. Only one can prevail. On one side are people like Donald Trump and me and you who believe America is the most extraordinary nation in the history of mankind and was protected by God from our very beginning. We must protect it now.
On the other side are the globalists who want to bury America and Europe with massive migration from the Third World. They want to erase our Judeo-Christian heritage and make America more like the rest of the world.
Trump Defends Children & Christians
During his UN address, President Trump also called out the hypocrisy of the UN Human Rights Council for ignoring the global persecution of Christians while it harasses America for protecting our children from mutilating transgender surgeries. Trump said:
“It is equally unacceptable that with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the UN’s top human rights officials spend their time criticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilation and transgender insanity, and enforcing our immigration laws. . .
“The craven hypocrites of the Human Rights Council have little to say about the persecution of Christians. Christians are being persecuted all over the world. . . Christians [are victims] of the world’s most repressive regimes. Yet [the globalists] want America to open up our borders to gangs and criminals from the world’s most dangerous places.”
Again, the media largely ignored Trump’s defense of persecuted Christians. They don’t want to bring that up because they want Christians to be as discouraged as possible so they won’t show up and vote in 41 days.
Here’s the irony: If Christians don’t show up and vote this November, the persecution the president is warning about will, once again, target Christians here in the United States.
A Little History
Leftists, and even some Republicans, claim President Trump is an ignorant buffoon who is wrecking our alliances and destroying America’s image overseas. “If only he were a ‘normal’ Republican like Ronald Reagan,” they say.
That’s ridiculous! The Left, and even some Republicans, despised Ronald Reagan. I know—I was there with him.
One of the biggest demonstrations in American history took place in 1982, just as Reagan was getting ready to deliver a major address to the United Nations. More than one million people poured into New York City’s Central Park, protesting Reagan’s strong stand against the Soviet Union and his efforts to rebuild the American military.
The Left was wrong then, and it is still wrong today.
Ready For AOC?
Socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a very astute statement yesterday about her future political plans. Speaking with the New York Times, AOC said:
“There’s an argument that some make that this is a very unique political window and, oftentimes in politics, you do only get one shot,” she said. “And . . . life doesn’t wait for you to be ready for things. Sometimes life just makes things ready for you.”
Are you ready for “President AOC”? There is growing speculation that she is eager to move up the political ladder. How far up the ladder isn’t clear yet. Polling shows she would crush Chuck Schumer in the 2028 Democrat Senate primary.
If she runs for president, AOC will be a formidable candidate, particularly if her party has the next two years to do everything they can to sabotage the Trump Administration.
Speaking of the Trump administration, we got more good news today showing the economy is booming. Business growth in the manufacturing and service sectors surged to its fastest pace in over five years. And if you exclude the reopening of the economy after the COVID lockdowns, it’s the fastest pace in 10 years.
Birthing People & Women’s Sports
Kamala Harris is back on the campaign trail. She was in Michigan yesterday campaigning for Democrat Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. Given that Harris lost Michigan, I can only assume El-Sayed’s team brought her in because the polls show they need to get more Black women to vote for him.
While talking about Black maternity care, Harris launched into a rant about DEI—diversity, equity and inclusion. She said:
“The attack on DEI is an attack on maternal care. An attack on DEI to recognize diversity, equity, and inclusion is an attack by definition on maternal care, including the need to protect Black women in connection with their pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care.”
Later in the event, one of the participants in the roundtable meeting suggested that having El-Sayed’s medical background in the Senate was “what Black women and Black birthing people need in order to move themselves forward.”
Well, who are these “birthing people” who are not women? By the way, El-Sayed couldn’t bring himself to use the word “woman” when discussing abortion either. These people are not normal!
This is the frontal lobotomy the Left wants to perform on us. We can laugh at it, but we need to remind ourselves that this is the kind of insanity the Left is pushing on our children in the public schools. President Trump is fighting it, but there are 14,000 school districts across the country, including many in Blue states controlled by the Left.
Meanwhile on Capitol Hill this morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on protecting women’s sports. One witness told the committee a harrowing story.
She said a male convicted sex offender claiming to be a woman was on a female Australian rules football team. None of the female players, some of whom were victims of sexual assault, were told that they were sharing hotel rooms with a convicted sex offender.
The team’s management did everything it could to keep his past a secret. Why? Because to the Left, the desires of this delusional man outweighed the safety of real women.
Not one Senate Democrat attended today’s hearing. Yet somehow Democrats get to claim that they are the “party of women.”
How Should Christians Think About AI?
Interest in and arguments about artificial intelligence (AI) are reaching a boiling point. How should Christians think about and process all the alarming claims?

Pray For Neria
Mahmoud Muhammad Mahmoud Suleiman drove his car into an Israeli checkpoint in Samaria today. No doubt he is another follower of the “religion of peace.” Israeli soldiers killed the terrorist.
An Israeli reserve soldier, Neria Leiter, was seriously injured in the ramming attack. Neria is the son of Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the United States.
Our son, Zach, CEO of Passages, frequently works with Ambassador Leiter, who said his son “needs a miracle.” Leiter added, “I believe in the power of prayer, and I believe that when the people of Israel unite, miracles happen.”
Please join us in praying for a full recovery for Neria.
