The Spiritual War
Turning Point USA erected a statue of Charlie Kirk outside of their office to mark the first anniversary of his assassination. Almost immediately after being unveiled, the statue was vandalized.
Red paint was sprayed on the statue, particularly around the neck and head, where the assassin’s bullet hit, mocking Charlie’s brutal murder.
A memorial sign near the statue read, “May Charlie be received in the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior.” That sign was also vandalized. A red X was spray-painted across the word “Jesus,” and “Satan” was spray-painted over it.
Turning Point USA condemned the vandalism as “diabolical” and quoted Christ’s words from John 15:18, “‘If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” Charlie’s grieving widow, Erika, who has already suffered so much, posted this response:
“They thought a bullet would silence my husband’s voice, but it only made it louder. They think spray paint can obscure his legacy, but it will only spread it further. . .
“And if you think crossing out the name of Jesus Christ will silence Christians, history has already proved you wrong. We know what it costs to stand firm for Christ, and we will stand anyway. God will not be mocked.”
This disgusting act of desecration is more than just vandalism. It is evidence of the battle we are in. It’s not just a battle between Democrats versus Republicans or Left versus Right.
We are in a spiritual war, which makes it even more obligatory for Christians to “man up.”
Too many Christians refuse to get involved in politics. They say things like, “It doesn’t make a difference,” “It’s too worldly” or “It’s so nasty and negative.” Well, how about getting involved in the spiritual war that is taking place every day all around us? I don’t believe God wants us to be AWOL in that.
It Does Make A Difference
Christian parents in Massachusetts are fighting to regain custody of their teenage daughter. She was ripped out of their home by radical bureaucrats. Why? Because her parents refused to “affirm” her gender delusions. Now, the state is going to pump this confused young woman full of sterilizing drugs to start her “transition.”
That is not “politics.” That is not a “policy dispute.” That action by the state of Massachusetts is child abuse. It is evil.
It is also a stark reminder of how elections have consequences and how your vote does make a difference. It is impossible to imagine any family in Florida, Tennessee or Texas going through this horrific nightmare. The elected officials in those states would never tolerate it. But that’s exactly what you get when left-wing lunatics are in power.
Satan would love nothing more than for Christians to surrender the government to those who despise our faith and our values. Every Christian must be on the front lines. Every pastor and priest must lead his flock in understanding what is going on and why Christians cannot be passive observers.
Further Signs of Sickness
Can anyone doubt that something evil and significant is happening in our country today? Think about what we have seen in the past two years.
We just witnessed another round of sick celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Junior high girls looking for social media clicks created their own “dance.” You snap your head to one side as if you have been shot in the neck.
A health insurance company executive is walking down a New York City sidewalk one morning. A coward, who doesn’t have the guts to look his target in the eyes, steps out of the shadows, shoots him in the back, and kills him. The insurance executive leaves behind a wife and two children. Very few Americans know the executive’s name.
But the assassin becomes a cult hero. Groupies gather outside of the courtroom to swoon over him. Mayor Mamdani allows far-left crazy representatives of so-called “media organizations” to gain access to the courtroom. Deranged individuals inspired by this assassin commit horrific crimes.
A woman strangles her three children to death using one of her exercise bands. Experts say it’s not a quick death like it’s portrayed in the movies. It would have taken several minutes to deny those children enough air to live. They would have been struggling the entire time.
The children become nameless and forgotten while woke women rally around the children’s mother—their murderer. Female jurors declared that they saw this case as an opportunity to “make life better for other women.”
What women? Women who want to strangle their children to death?
In multiple races around the country, radical left-wing and Islamist candidates are competitive or ahead of normal conservatives. For most of our history, extremists like these candidates wouldn’t get 5% of the vote.
An ethnically Egyptian Muslim, who says he is obligated to obey Sharia law, is running for the U.S. Senate. He bums around with an influencer who said America “deserved” 9/11. This ethnic Egyptian candidate could not bring himself to fully condemn an attempt to kill Jewish children because he didn’t want to upset Muslim voters.
That candidate is 2 points ahead of his GOP opponent—an Army veteran and former FBI agent who served as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. This race isn’t in left-wing Massachusetts or whacked-out California, but in Michigan.
It is probably ill-advised to be losing sleep over what AI may do to us in 25 years when all around is the evidence of what evil is doing to our country right now.
More Information & More Questions
The FBI just declassified additional information related to the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt against Donald Trump. There are a lot of bizarre details about Thomas Crooks.
-
He used the pseudonym “Bob Dole” when he made online purchases.
-
The FBI examined 27 electronic devices seized from Crooks’ home.
-
He had 35 digital and social media accounts, including several encrypted foreign-based email accounts.
-
He talked to himself—a lot.
Unfortunately, this new information leaves us with more questions than answers. For example, perhaps the most bizarre detail is that an anonymous individual paid for Crooks’ cremation. Really? It’s impossible to believe that this individual didn’t have to sign something to authorize a cremation. On what basis does this person have the authority to do that?
President Trump reacted to the release of this new information, writing:
“Everybody knows the Crooked Joe Biden FBI didn’t do what they should have with respect to the Lunatic who shot me in Butler, PA. By the time I got into Office, on January 20th, most of the information was missing, altered, corrupted, or gone. New info was just found! Why wasn’t it seen long ago? This was all a Democrat Plot, to get me out of the Election, that failed.”
Don’t Panic
Tony Fabrizio, President Trump’s pollster for over a decade, sent a memo to Republican candidates on how to handle concerns over AI and data centers. His advice is right on, and it is good advice for the president, too.
Fabrizio warned candidates not to say, “I’m all for building more data centers.” If they do, they will get their heads handed to them. But if they say what I have been saying in recent days, public opinion completely flips. Candidates should tell voters:
“I want to make sure your electricity and water prices do not go up. I believe local residents should be consulted and have a say in the process. And I want to ensure that the environment is protected, too. If those conditions are met, then I would favor data centers. But not until all those conditions are guaranteed.”
Fabrizio said that Democrats are making opposition to data centers a key part of their campaign strategy. If they can catch any Republican on video saying, “I want more data centers,” Democrats will bury that candidate in negative ads and they will lose.
We noted yesterday that the people pushing the panic over AI and data centers are the same people who gave us the climate change crisis and the panic over nuclear power. But I want to drill down on this further, focusing specifically on Silicon Valley.
I know some great Christians who run companies in Silicon Valley. But overall, it is a left-wing hive full of people who see technology as their god. In many cases, they don’t think of themselves as Americans.
Periodically, you will see stories about employees of one tech company or another demanding that their executives refuse to work with the Pentagon, or they will quit. Process that for a second. Does that sound like the reaction of a normal American? It’s a whole different culture out there, and 90% of Big Tech’s donations go to Democrats.
Anyone who falls for this panic is being played.
