My last voting rant
I am getting great response to my last newsletter about how and when to vote. Check it out if you haven’t yet - and please share it with a friend.
But, surprisingly, one woman who calls herself a friend and a “leader” in an Evangelical Christian church sent me this comment yesterday. I’ll call her BIRDY:
I don’t expect everyone to agree with me - or enjoy my work - but BIRDY is constantly reminding me how we need to spread the love of Jesus and uphold his teachings and be good Christians and never use offensive language, blah blah blah. She wants to LEAD others in all spiritual matters. She wants to lead ME in all spiritual matters. She believes she has the AUTHORITY to lead and guide others. I love Birdy but I disagree.
When I shared her comment with a friend from another church, he said:
Here’s the response I got to Birdy’s comment from a Pastor at another church:
This tells me that there is not only a spiritual battle OUTSIDE the church between dark and light but there is also one WITHIN the church that needs to be addressed.
If we can’t unite within a church on God’s teachings and something simple like how to choose the best candidate based on policy and Biblical teachings - how do we expect to unite the world?
IMHO, Birdy’s comment epitomizes the problem. Many Christians don't want to vote or even talk about policy. But they have no problem complaining about the world that Satan is building around them and their loved ones!
They think they should choose a candidate based on emotion and likeability - on how THEY feel about a person - instead of the record of the person and his/her policies.
Hmm. A vote is not a Valentine! You are not professing your love for a candidate. There is no perfect candidate. Jesus is not a candidate for President - so there is no perfect choice on the ballot!
In America, we don't have Kings or dictators ruling over us. "We the People" have been entrusted by God with the task of ELECTING our leaders. Each election cycle, we are given the opportunity to interview potential candidates to manage our Government. This work should not be left to the TV news or to the opinions of your friends. Each person should do this work themselves with discernment from God.
Our job is to pick the candidate who is most closely aligned with Jesus and his teachings. Until Jesus returns, he has entrusted us with this responsibility.
PASTOR HAMRICK: Please vote according to Biblical values. PERIOD. I don't need to tell you who to vote for because if you have properly taken the time to view the current issues of our day through the lens of the Bible - you will be equipped to know who to vote for or who not to vote for based on that candidate's policies. Which candidate’s policies more closely align with Biblical values? It’s that simple.
The culture has hijacked the narrative on social and moral issues that the Bible has already addressed. The culture has twisted things, distorted and perverted social and moral issues into political issues and then told pastors and Christians to stop being so “political.” [Satan doesn’t want Christians to vote so that he can control the culture!]
God had a say on all these subjects long before there was even a word ‘political.’ Just open your Bible. God in the Bible speaks about life, national borders, immigration, economic prosperity, biological sex, marriage, parental authority, Israel - even the environment - it's all in the Bible.
All you have to do is vote for the President who most closely aligns with the things that the Bible talks about.
Remember, God uses flawed, sinful people. You are a flawed sinful person, too. Many Christians say they can't vote for a candidate who isn’t perfect. Some Christians talk like this all the time. I hear them say things like “I don't like a few things about this person's personality” - but I can't vote for the other candidate because they're evil - so I’ll just not vote or I’ll write in somebody’s name. Which is a NON-vote. This Presidential election is a binary election. There are only two choices.
Elections are serious things with serious consequences and your vote matters. What other decisions do you make in your life that must meet 100% of the criteria you set out. What other decisions do you really say “If it doesn't have 100% - I'm not doing this?”
There's no perfect spouse. There's no perfect Church. There's no perfect child, there's no perfect job, there's no perfect neighborhood, and Jesus is not on the ballot so there is no perfect candidate. Get over looking for the perfect person - but you can vote for the better choice.
For too long, Evangelicals have looked for the perfect candidate based on likability - and if all things don’t line up - they refuse to vote at all.
Christ has gone away - but he's still the Master - and we are just serving him. God entrusts a lot to us and one of the things he has entrusted to us is the wonderful privilege of being Americans - living in the greatest and most free country in the world, the United States of America. He’s entrusted this freedom to us.
We know the saying FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE - so what are we going to do with what he's entrusted to us? Are we just going to sit it out? Are we just going to just let everybody else vote in evil? Every election has been about the lesser of two evils.
As Christians, we have to decide what can we do to advance the kingdom of God, for the glory of God, and stem the tide of evil in our land until Jesus comes. If we do nothing, if we check out, if we remain silent, evil will rush into the vacuum. That's why it is an incumbent upon every single one of us to be engaged in all of this.
Yes, I know that some of you might have to hold your nose when you go to vote but the alternative is far worse.
We have no one to blame except ourselves for wicked policies. When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice - when the wicked are in authority the people groan. I don't know about you but I'm tired of groaning. I don't want to groan so it's a duty to vote - it's not just a right and a privilege. It’s a duty.
I don't care who you "like." If you review the policies of both candidates, THERE IS NO COMPARISON between Trump & Kamala. One is a good imperfect man who truly cares about God, life and country - the other one does not! One wants to restore us, one wants to destroy us!
Jesus is calling us to flip the tables where the evil ones sit! Not sit at them!
Oh, and not for nothing, but those Christians who think they can’t vote for Trump because he said the word BULLSHIT or wrote a mean tweet - did you know that Tim Walz gave an American the FINGER yesterday in Michigan? How Christian is that? How uniting is that?

Also, it seems obvious to me that Kamala is either high on alcohol, drugs or weed or all of the above at most of her events. She is an impostor, a deceiver. The video below is evidence of her impairment. IMHO, she should be in detox, treatment, and rehab - not be crowned leader of the free world.

The video below proves she is a deceiver:

I’m not the only one who believes she is a practicing alcoholic and a liar. These are not righteous traits! And, I didn’t learn this truth from the liars on the TV news - I learned it myself by watching her speeches myself.
This has been going on a long time. Watch. Now you know why they hide her.

Even those who have stayed OUT of politics - believe that the 2024 election is the most important election in American history. I agree.
ELON MUSK: “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!
Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years. The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!
Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election. America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries.
This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty. The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape. Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.”
President Trump has even inspired support from people like Elon who once called themselves non-believers. Why do I think that happened? One reason is that God spared President Trump from assassination and many view that as a sign.
The fact that President Trump is still alive is truly a miracle and I think many are in wonder about that. Even him.
President Trump turned his head to look at the jumbotron in Butler, Pennsylvania and the bullet, that was intended for his brain, nicked his ear instead. The bullet was caught on camera. Trump was 1/4 inch and .3 seconds from death. God intervened. God spared him. He obviously isn’t done with him yet. We, as Christians, are constantly looking for miracles and signs. Well, this sure was one to me!
DR. RONNY JACKSON: “The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear. The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear. There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear.”
Then they tried to murder him again at his golf course and it failed!
Why was he spared - twice?
TRUMP: “I’m not supposed to be here. I’m supposed to be dead. The odds of me surviving are 20 MILLION to one.
The only thing I can think is that God loves our country and he thinks we’re going to bring our country back. He wants to bring it back, the horrible things that are happening inside our country. It has to be God, I mean, how can you say it’s luck when it’s, you know, 20 million to one? It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our faith and defiant in the face of wickedness.”
RALPH REED: "I will tell you this. Donald Trump sometimes says and does things that I wish he wouldn't say or do, but he is the most pro-life advocate we've ever had sitting behind the resolute desk, sitting in the Oval Office. He delivered for us. This is about the sanctity of life. If Christians stay home, then they don't deserve to have this victory. They don't deserve to have leaders like that."
PERKINS: "Trump is not Kamala Harris. He's not advocating for abortion until birth [like she is] at taxpayer expense."
KEVIN SORBO: “Anyone not voting for Trump this time around genuinely hates this country.”
PASTOR GREG LOCKE: “It’s really simple: Vote for Trump - the person they keep trying to kill. If you vote for her, you are voting to destroy America. PERIOD!!”
Also, many Christians who refuse to vote hold up Franklin Graham as an example of a good Christian and a good man. He is - and he supports President Trump - NOT Kamala Harris.
President Trump joined Reverend Franklin Graham on the ground to help those impacted by the hurricane.

He started a GoFundMe for the victims and has already raised over 2 million dollars. I donated - if you are able, please do so too.

Meanwhile, Biden was at the beach making calls and Kamala was fundraising in California in between photo ops.
KEVIN SORBO: That moment when someone says, "I can't believe you would vote for Trump.”
I simply reply, “I'm not voting for Trump.”
I'm voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I'm voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family. I'm voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I’m voting for the continued growth of my retirement and reducing inflation. I’m voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end to America’s involvement in foreign conflicts.
I'm voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live. I'm voting for the Police to be respected once again and to ensure Law & Order. I am tired of all the criminals having a revolving door and being put back in the street.
I’m voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I’m voting for keeping our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over the world - to China, Mexico and other foreign countries. I want USA made.
I’m voting for secure borders and have legal immigration. I can’t believe we have actually have flown 380,000 illegal immigrants into our country. I am voting for doing away with all of the freebies given to all of the illegals and not looking after the needs of the American citizens.
I'm voting for the Military & the Veterans who fought for this Country to give the American people their freedoms. I'm voting for the unborn babies that have a right to live.
I’m voting for peace progress in the Middle East. I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking. I'm voting for Freedom of Religion. I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored. I am voting for the return of teaching math, history, and science instead of indoctrination of our children and pronouns.
I'm not just voting for one person, I'm voting for the future of my Country. I'm voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms and their future.
I predicted over a year ago that the NWO swamp would come at us every way they can think of to rig or stop the election - and if their efforts to eliminate Trump failed they would totally destroy our country and then frame Trump as Herbert Hoover as he is left to fix the mess they made.
So far, there's been a hurricane that I believe was purposefully 'STALLED' by a HAARP-laser-created front over the SE United States and the Obama-Biden-Harris regime is ignoring the death and mayhem, a port strike starts right now which threatens to shut down commerce, empty our shelves and bring our supply chain to a halt, there’s a nationwide cell service outage and a biohazard plant in Georgia just exploded. That's just the beginning. There are millions of foreign criminals in our country now willing to do whatever is required to destroy us from within.
BTW - these ports are controlled by foreign companies and foreign countries. This is what happens when we don’t make our essentials in America and we rely on foreign nations for our survival.
If you're not paying attention - now would be a good time....oh, and buy more guns and ammo.
I wrote back then:
“If Trump wins, he will be handed a country in basically a depression for a majority of its people, on the brink or actually in WW3, a wide open border and a 5th column of millions of anti-American military aged men within that border, a deteriorating military, a nation so in debt it will struggle to raise capital, a country with fragile supply lines for most of the goods it needs, a divided population with half brainwashed by the media to hate the concepts the country was founded on, and a government staffed with people who will be actively fighting everything he does.
Pray for our country because regardless of who wins, it’s going to be a long, hard fight to keep this country together, let alone make it great again.”
Yes - Trump said he didn’t want to be another Herbert Hoover and inherit a Great Depression. But he will fix it regardless if we let him.
OK - I’m done talking about the vote. I hope what I’ve written has given my fellow Christians enough information to do the right thing and vote for the right person. Pray for wisdom and protection. Godspeed.
