One of the strategies of the Left is to intimidate Christians into silence, bully us into leaving the battle for our country, and frighten us into not voting. Sadly, the strategy often works.
 
Some churches are flying LGBTQ flags. Those churches are lost. I don’t know what they’re worshiping, but it’s not Jesus Christ.
 
There are other churches that even now will not do something as simple as voter registration drives. (Is yours?) They won’t rally with like-minded churches to motivate and organize people of faith for the battle for the hearts and minds of our children.
 
Too many churches are not explaining how moral issues—the sanctity of life, the meaning of marriage, religious liberty, why socialism is such a threat—impact our families and our faith.
 
“That’s politics, and the Church shouldn’t be involved in politics,” they claim. No, it isn’t “politics” any more than slavery was “politics.”
 
We just saw another example of this intimidation strategy when newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche got a taste of Left’s smear machine.
 
Several days before his confirmation vote, Blanche participated in a conference call with our friends at the Christian prayer ministry Intercessors for America. I have spoken on their calls multiple times. Blanche said the Trump Justice Department was working to permanently protect pro-life state laws that are now allowed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
 
He said he wants God to be “front and center again” in American life, adding, “because that’s exactly what this country was founded on.” The jackals came at him immediately. Atheist groups slammed Blanche for his “shocking Christian nationalist views.”
 
Blanche didn’t say anything “shocking” or radical. But the Left’s reaction is revealing. They want to smear anyone who loves Jesus and loves America.
 
But we are required as Americans to feel a great obligation to and love for the country we live in. It is a lovely country, meaning it is worthy of our love and protection. We need to love the God of the Bible and His Son, Jesus Christ, and we need to be vocal about it.
 
Too many “Nervous Nelly” pastors and leaders of Christian groups have withdrawn from the political and public policy battles because they’re afraid of being called a “Christian nationalist.” They have toned down what they say, or they go out of their way to repeatedly say, “I’m not a Christian nationalist.”
 
We should not hesitate to cite how our faith influences what we believe about the sanctity of life, the definition of marriage, the truth of sex and gender, religious liberty and the threat of socialism. 
 
Christians cannot be cowards. Revelation 21:8 lists those who will be cast into the lake of fire. First on the list is cowards. We must defend our freedom at the ballot box, or we will lose it. Be not afraid!

The Left Ruins Everything
 
The WNBA should rename itself the “Woke National Basketball Association.” To the Left, every area of life is a battlefield they intend to own. And the Left clearly owns the WNBA.
 
The insane idea of men competing in women’s sports is a fringe view that is overwhelmingly rejected by the American people. But when Indiana Fever star guard Sophie Cunningham dared to say what most of us believe, the leftist sledgehammer came down on her head.
 
Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase said, “Sports is about belonging. It’s about inclusivity. It’s about allowing everyone to be their authentic self.” Then why do we have women’s and men’s basketball leagues?
 
Cheryl Reeve, head coach of the Minnesota Lynx, said, “We need to protect trans kids. To me, it’s a human rights issue. Every kid has a right to sports.” Reeve also wore a t-shirt that read “Trans Kids Belong” when the Lynx played the Indiana Fever.
 
This is complete BS. How does cutting healthy body parts off of little boys and girls get translated into “We need to protect trans kids”?
 
The WNBA Players Association issued a statement declaring, “Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm.”
 
Hello! Hate, abuse and demonization are exactly what happens when a female athlete says, “I shouldn’t be forced to compete against someone born with testicles.”
 
A man claiming to be a woman is not someone being “their authentic self.” It’s the exact opposite—it’s completely inauthentic. Female athletes have a right not to be humiliated and injured by bigger, stronger men. It is not “hate” to defend truth and reality.
 
Two former NBA players—Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White—put a spotlight on the Left’s absurdity by declaring for the 2027 WNBA draft.
 
Now, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert just fired off a memo to team owners and coaches saying the league will have “listening sessions” and “important conversations” about this “complex and nuanced topic.”
 
There’s nothing complex and nuanced about it. It’s dangerous and delusional! People so confused about sex and gender cannot be trusted with power—on athletic fields or in the halls of government.
 
 
 
What Really Matters
 
The most important arguments are not over issues like tax and trade policy. They’re over fundamental things like whether America is an exceptional national blessed by God or an evil nation.
 
We see America as an exceptional country that has made mistakes but still stands above all other nations. The other side sees America as completely rancid from the beginning and demands that our country must be “fundamentally transformed” in the image of Marxism and secular socialism.
 
The Trump/Vance administration, more than any previous Republican administration, is seriously fighting the Left’s rewriting of American history. Predictably, the leftists are squealing like Marxist sows.
 
President Trump has gone after universities that regularly hire anti-American professors. The Justice Department is calling out school districts infected with DEI nonsense. And it is going to historic sites where Americans have a legitimate expectation that they can take their families to and have America’s greatness reaffirmed, not undermined.
 
The Smithsonian and the National Museum of American History have been in the administration’s crosshairs in recent weeks. Real historians say the institutions are run by left-wing “activists,” not scholars.
 
My friend, Bishop E. W. Jackson, the great-grandson of slaves, is joining us and the Trump/Vance White House in demanding reforms.
 
Jackson said that the Left’s anti-American indoctrination infuriates him because it blinds people to the reality that “This is a wonderful country; it’s the greatest nation on earth.” Yet we’ve got “people at the Smithsonian talking about America as if we’re the worst place on earth to live.”
 
Here’s one example of this anti-American indoctrination. Under the Obama/Biden regime, leftists claimed they wanted to bring “balance” to displays about George Washington at the President’s House in Philadelphia. There was no balance at all to what they did.
 
Instead of visitors going to the President’s House to learn about Washington’s accomplishment and what he did for this country, they left depressed about what an evil slaver he was.
 
The Trump administration stepped in to actually restore balance, and the Left went nuts. One radical judge blocked the federal government from saying what can and can’t be displayed on federal property. On what grounds?! Thankfully, the judge’s ruling was unanimously struck down by a federal appeals court.
 
The British burned down the White House in 1814. These radical Marxists and revolutionaries are trying to burn down America in our schools, museums and popular culture TODAY.
 
 
 
What Would Dr. Dobson Do?
 
In my latest “Defending Faith, Family & Freedom” podcast for the James Dobson Family Institute, I discuss how Dr. Dobson’s teachings can help us understand how Christians should respond to the challenges facing our country today.

Start The Countdown
 
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced that she’s having her eggs frozen. How long will it take for the first prominent “man” to step forward to announce that “she” is having “her” eggs frozen, too? Because, of course, “men” can get pregnant.
