Pastor Twists The Bible To Promote Ohio’s Pro-Abortion Ballot Initiative In TV Ad

Published

on

The pastor of a church in Columbus, Ohio, has been appearing in TV ads to voice his support for Ohio’s Issue One. Issue One is a Nov. 7 ballot initiative to change the constitution of the state of Ohio to allow for abortion during all nine months of pregnancy.

In the ad, Rev. Tim Ahrens of First Congregational United Church of Christ reads from the Gospel of Matthew, “Do not judge and you will not be judged.” He then goes on to explain that he counsels families in all different circumstances, and it is important that they have the freedom to make decisions that are best for their family without government interference.

Like Ahrens, I am a pastor in Ohio. The members of my congregation have turned on their televisions and heard him reading from his Bible. They have heard him saying that he counsels families and feels that it is necessary for them to be free to choose abortion. They have heard him teaching Christians who desire to obey the words of Jesus. They have been troubled by his message. I share their concern.

As Ahrens mentions, Christians who value the Bible and desire to do what it says approach their pastors with questions for which they seek advice and counsel. Pastors function in this role in much the same way that the disciples did in the bread and fish miracles (Matthew 14:13-21, 15:32-39). In those miracles, Jesus took loaves and fish and blessed them with His word and

Leftists Decried Comey For Flagging Hillary’s Emails. Now They Love Tanya Chutkan’s Election Interference

Published

on

With less than three weeks until Election Day, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed “evidence” Special Counsel Jack Smith submitted to justify his lawfare attempts against former President Donald Trump. It’s certainly not the October Surprise the left was hoping for; the heavily redacted evidence fails to bolster Smith’s dubious claim that Trump should be denied his First Amendment right to question the outcome and administration of an election.

Whether the unsealed “evidence” corroborated Smith’s lawfare matters not. What matters is whether Smith, Chutkan, and the propaganda press can leverage it to undermine Trump’s chances by influencing public perception ahead of Nov. 5 — something that leftists once considered taboo when they thought their candidate was in the crosshairs.

Chutkan ordered the unsealing Thursday night, acknowledging the potential impact that doing so would have on the upcoming election.

“If the court withheld information that the public otherwise had a right to access solely because of the potential political consequences of releasing it, that withholding could itself constitute — or appear to be — election interference,” Chutkan wrote. “The court will therefore continue to keep political considerations out of its decision-making, rather than incorporating them as Defendant requests.”

The unsealing comes just weeks after Chutkan unsealed Smith’s 165-page brief, which alleges Trump used “false claims of election fraud to disrupt the electoral process” in 2020. Smith argues that Trump’s “refuse[al] to say whether he would accept the election results” of 2020 (which saw unelected leaders usurp the authority of state

Ladies, You Don’t Have To Vote For Kamala Harris

Published

on

Abortion is the only reason Harris has given women to vote for her — and it’s not enough.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has given women many reasons to vote for him. This week, for instance, while Kamala Harris was offering pithy and empty condolences to the families of women murdered by illegal immigrants, Donald Trump dedicated an hour to addressing female voters’ concerns.

At a Georgia town hall on Wednesday, Trump tackled questions from an exclusively female audience, addressing their worries about everything from the dangers of illegal immigration to the high cost of food and child care to women’s safety. When one woman asked how quickly Trump could remove the threats that arise in sanctuary cities so women and children could live free of fear, for instance, Trump replied, “We are going to end all sanctuary cities immediately.” 

He also offered more details about how he would be women’s “protector.” As he stated in a speech last month in Pennsylvania: “You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. … You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today.”

Trump’s reassurances should be music to women’s ears as they struggle with the devastating effects of the Biden-Harris administration. 

The Effects of Biden and Harris 

For starters, the Biden-Harris administration rewrote Title IX, allowing men to compete in women’s sports and permitting them to infiltrate women’s-only spaces.

This administration’s open border policies have also led to avoidable

Drones Are Swarming U.S. Military Bases, And Our Incompetent Bureaucracy Won’t Do Anything About It

Published

on

If you had told President Dwight D. Eisenhower that the military-industrial complex he famously warned against would find itself repeatedly foiled by an off-the-shelf product available at the grocery store, he probably would not have believed you.

The Oct. 12 story published in The Wall Street Journal, about how mysterious drones over Langley Air Force Base have baffled the best of America’s military and homeland security apparatus, is clearly not intended to leave you with this impression, yet it does. 

The Journal article was likely intended as yet another entry in the now-extensive subgenre of Pentagon reporting that might be called, “What are we going to do about the UFOs?”

In these stories, which seem to regularly appear several times a year (possibly timed with congressional appropriations), military and intelligence officials either publicly or anonymously complain to their regular Pentagon beat journalists about how they are stumped by the mysterious lights in the sky. In 2022, the Pentagon set up the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to better collect and analyze reports of these UFO sightings. Before AARO was the wordier Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG), set up in 2021. Congress has had multiple UFO hearings, ranging from fairly serious investigations into the likely role of Russian and Chinese drones surveilling U.S. national security sites to “X Files”-style hearings with whistleblowers claiming the U.S. has recovered alien corpses — or, as they phrase it, “biologics.”

The Wall Street Journal piece attempted to emphasize how serious the deployment
