Right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman continues to use the services held at his Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha , Nebraska , to exhort his congregation to vote to reelect President Donald Trump in November , declaring in his Sunday sermon that Jesus would never want Christians voting for a Democrat .
“ We ’ re about to vote in a few months , ” Kunneman said , “ and my prayer is that the church shows up this time .
‘ Well , I don ’ t like the current president , so I ’ m just not going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party of the non-religious , and you ’ ve just allowed your other brothers and sisters , their religious rights to be stolen from them potentially .
‘ Well , I don ’ t like the president.
’ You don ’ t have to like their personality .
Look at what they ’ re doing , look at what they stand for.
” “ When I go to vote … I ’ m going to go in there and represent Jesus , ” he continued .
“ I ’ ve not heard presidents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this president .
I ’ ve never seen a president fighting for the church as great as what this president is .
The proof is look at the Johnson Amendment , that ’ s why I can say what I ’ m saying today .
If the party of the non-religious comes , that will be taken .
So I ’ m gon na go and say , ‘ Well Jesus , he sounds like a friend of yours even though he may not know you—I don ’ t know if he does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you— but it sounds like he sure trying to help you . '
” “ We ’ ve got a president that ’ s trying to help the church … and yet we ’ ve got Christians that aren ’ t helping him , ” Kunneman fumed .
“ What ’ s wrong with us ?
When I go to the voting booth , I ’ m gon na say , ‘ Jesus , I ’ m voting for Donald J. Trump , and every person that will fight for my religious freedom.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ king of our kingdom , does he wants you to put a checkmark next to somebody who is an atheist ?
They don ’ t like your God .
They want to keep prayer out of your schools and away from your children , and they want to teach your children that it ’ s OK to be a dog if you want to be a dog .
It ’ s OK to go and dress up like a woman [ and go ] into the women ’ s restroom with your children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ party of the non-religious helped to legislate that we deal with today .
Is this what we want ?
Jesus , is this what you want ?
You ’ re my king .
Is this what you want , Jesus ?
And I tell you , hell no !

Conservative evangelical churches and advocacy groups led by vocal boosters of President Donald Trump have received millions of dollars in coronavirus relief funds , marking a new milestone in the religious right ’ s long campaign to take a wrecking ball to the wall separating church and state .
The Paycheck Protection Program included in coronavirus relief legislation was designed to help small businesses and other organizations stay afloat and keep people working during the pandemic .
Religious-right leaders worked with their allies in Congress and the Trump administration to make sure that churches would be able to receive direct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other operational expenses .
The program is administered by the Small Business Administration , which waived normal requirements that participants in its loan program abide by nondiscrimination standards .
On June 22 , the SBA hosted a “ Recovery & Resilience for Faith Based Communities tele-townhall ” for leaders of churches and religious nonprofits to urge them to participate in the program by applying before the June 30 deadline—and to lavish praise on Trump for supporting the program .
The call was promoted by the White House and religious-right figures like Gary Bauer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump administration ’ s faith-based outreach from her perch at the White House , began the call by praying for the president .
“ Put a hedge and wall of fire around him that no weapon formed against him would be able to prosper , ” White prayed .
White praised Trump and his administration ’ s extensively , saying , “ it has always been his heart to make sure that houses of worship and people of faith have been protected.
” She continued : You heard that from way back , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re going to put Merry back in Christmas , ’ or talking about the Johnson Amendment .
But he ’ s done so much to accomplish that .
Things with religious freedom , like removing restrictions on grants .
The PPP is one way that we begin to see this .
There are so many others , but there are departments everywhere that have grants , and for years and decades , they ’ ve had restrictions that people of faith have had very , very difficult time .
Well , our president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grants , ensuring faith-based has equal access to capital , equal access to grant money .
White ’ s own City of Destiny church got between $ 150,000 and $ 350,000 in PPP funds , according to SBA records .
To overcome the skepticism some conservative Christian leaders might have about getting directly involved with the federal government , officials invited several prominent religious-right leaders to praise the program .
While PPP funds could be a lifeline to smaller congregations and nonprofits , it turns out that staying afloat has not been a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worship and fundraising abilities .
Instead , some of those megachurches have used money freed up by paycheck protection to expand their influence in their local communities. Jentezen Franklin , a member of Trump ’ s Evangelical Advisory Board , is pastor of the multi-campus Free Chapel megachurch , based in Gainesville , Georgia .
Franklin was effusive on the SBA call , marveling that his church received a “ tremendous amount of money ” within three weeks of applying for it .
Data released by the SBA Monday make it clearer how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 1 million to $ 2 million range .
With payroll covered by government funds and the ability to “ catch up online , ” Franklin said his church distributed $ 340,000 to small churches in his community .
Franklin has urged evangelicals to help reelect Trump or be prepared to face tragic consequences .
Trump publicly announced that he was watching Franklin ’ s worship service on March 15 , which Trump had declared a national day of prayer .
Samuel Rodriguez , a pastor who prayed at Trump ’ s inauguration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leadership Conference , said PPP money was “ like manna in the desert of this pandemic.
” Rodiguez said the church was “ made for this hour , ” adding that “ for this administration to recognize the church and the faith community as essential is a game changer.
” Rodriguez ’ s New Season Church in Sacramento , California , received between $ 150,000 and $ 350,000 .
He said the money has helped his own church not just survive but help other churches and expand community outreach .
Rodriguez , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hostile to our Christian worldview , ” called the program a “ powerful resource ” and a “ blessing.
” “ This is Uncle Sam helping us do the will of our heavenly father , ” Rodriguez said .
“ So the PPP enabled us to cover payroll for our staff that is right now praying for interceding for the needs of our community , not just physical , spiritual , but in mental and emotional needs , literally saving lives.
” Also on the SBA call was another member of Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , founder of Focus on the Family and longtime opponent of reproductive choice and LGBTQ equality .
Dobson said that his organization , the James Dobson Family Institute , “ has literally been kept solvent this spring and summer by the Paycheck Protection Plan.
” Dobson said that thanks to the money his organization had received , adding , “ We have not asked for a cent from anybody in six months.
” Other Trump-supporting leaders and organizations have done quite well .
Here ’ s a sampling , drawn from our own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ records : • First Baptist Church of Dallas , Texas , led by Trump cheerleader Robert Jeffress , was among the megachurches listed as having received between $ 2 million and $ 5 million .
Another was Guillermo Maldonado ’ s King Jesus International Ministry , which hosted an Evangelicals for Trump campaign launch last year .
• The American Center for Law and Justice , part of the lucrative legal empire of Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow and his family , got between $ 1 million and $ 2 million .
• End @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Church got between $ 350,000 and $ 1 million .
• Rick Joyner ’ s Morningstar Church got between $ 350,000 and $ 1 million .
Initially , the idea of tax dollars directly supporting clergy and church operations was defended as an extraordinary response to the unique situation caused by the pandemic .
But on a phone call organized by Paula White ’ s One Voice Prayer Movement in May , former Rep. Randy Forbes of Virginia , founder of the Congressional Prayer Caucus , celebrated that “ precedents for religious freedom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic—specifically the unprecedented use of federal tax dollars to directly fund clergy and churches— “ are going to endure long after this coronavirus has gone.
” Marcus Harris , director of faith and community initiatives in the office of Entrepreneurial Development at the SBA , told people in the call , “ One thing I ’ m able to say in my role as the faith-based leader here at SBA is that I know for many of you this is your first interaction with SBA , but we do not want this to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was repeated by SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza .

J. Christian Adams Says Calls for Monument Removals Are Part of Left’s Quest for a ‘Big Government’ Utopia

While substituting for Sandy Rios on her weekday morning radio show Monday , right-wing attorney and activist J. Christian Adams claimed that protesters have demanded that statues and monuments be removed from public property as part of progressives ’ larger pursuit of a “ big government ”  utopia .
Adams , president and general counsel of the Public Interest Legal Foundation , praised President Donald Trump for his July 3 speech at Mt .
Rushmore in which the president derided protesters and activists seeking the removal of statues—many of which honor the Confederacy , slaveholders , and colonizers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ mob to tear down our statues , erase our history , indoctrinate our children , or trample on our freedoms , ”  Trump had declared to much applause .
Adams agreed with Trump ’ s sentiment , calling the people leading that push “ crackpots.
” “ They ’ re trying to take down all the symbols to say why we are good , right ?
Why we have achieved great things .
That ’ s one of the steps toward their utopian imposition of progressive politics , ” Adams said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ before on this show .
Never lose sight of that .
They think the utopia is just around the corner .
They think that they can create a perfect place here on Earth , and the only thing standing in their way is you and your beliefs.
” Adams blamed the political left ’ s pursuit of a  ” utopia ” for “ 90 percent ” of “ what ’ s going on in this country.
”  “ That ’ s it .
That ’ s the whole ball game , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do they do ?
They tear down statues .
They want to get rid of the American Revolution .
That is the essence of it .
That ’ s why this weekend was so profound .
That ’ s why the president ’ s speech was so important .
Because the American Revolution stands for principles that they oppose .
The Constitution stands for limited government , and they oppose that .
They want big government .
You can ’ t have utopia without big government .
Remember , it all boils down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : An earlier RWW story incorrectly stated J. Christian Adams ’ comments to be specifically about the removal of Confederate monuments , rather than all of the statues whose removal anti-racism protesters are demanding .
While most calls are for the removal of Confederate monuments , protesters are also calling for the removal of other statues , including those depicting slaveholders , colonizers , and racist tropes .

Allen West , who was elected to Congress from Florida as part of the 2010 Tea Party wave and was defeated in 2012 after a single term , is now raising money for My Faith Votes , one of several voter identification and voter-mobilization projects designed to maximize turnout among conservative Christians .
West is also running an insurgent campaign to replace the current chair of the Texas Republican Party .
A fundraising email from West was sent by My Faith Votes on Thursday with the subject line “ Americans only kneel to Almighty God.
” West wrote that America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secular Left began ripping God away from our schools and public life.
” “ We are not the center of the universe — He is ; and if we can find it within ourselves to work together and get our priorities in order , our society will be happier , safer , and more just , ” West wrote .
“ I believe in My Faith Votes because achieving that future is their mission.
” Right now , a fairly small but loud radical mob is looting our cities , defacing our monuments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of all colors in our inner cities .
Corporate America and much of our political leadership is too weak to push back , so they kneel and echo their empty slogans .
They celebrate the taking of innocent lives in the womb all in the name of “ choice.
” What if the silent majority of Bible-believing Christians across this nation realized that we are bigger than the anarchist and Marxist mobs ( we are ) , and that we , not they , will decide the future ?
By turning out millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working to turn this vision into a reality and I strongly urge you to join us in our work at My Faith Votes with your donation today .
The red-baiting messaging is consistent with West ’ s rhetoric when he was in Congress .
During a town hall meeting in 2012 , someone asked how many members of Congress were “ card-carrying Marxists.
” West answered , “ I believe there ’ s about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party.
” A staffer later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Congressional Progressive Caucus .
My Faith Votes was founded by Sealy Yates , a Christian lawyer and activist .
It claims to have “ made a measurable impact on Christian voter turnout in 2016.
” Former Alabama governor and failed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee serves as its honorary chair ; Johnnie Moore , a member of President Donald Trump ’ s inner circle of evangelical advisers , serves as its spokesperson .
In spite of its clear electoral goals , My Faith Votes operates as a 501 ( c ) ( 3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the silent majority in America — that broad , diverse group of patriotic citizens who believe in Judeo-Christian principles and keep our nation grounded and working .
Well , it ’ s time to light that Bat-Signal in the sky because those people are needed .
When our institutions are under siege by a radical socialist agenda , and our Constitution is being hijacked , silence isn ’ t an option .
We need to be involved and courageous for biblical truth .
West ’ s campaign to chair the Republican Party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GOP megadonor Richard Uihlein—sounds similar themes .
“ Only by returning to our conservative , constitutional , and pro-life values can we turn back Godless progressive socialism , ” he said in a campaign press release .
It ’ s not as if the Texas GOP has been infiltrated by godless progressives , at least based on its 2018 party platform , which embraces a long litany of far-right positions .
It calls for the “ abolition ” of abortion and the granting of legal rights to fertilized eggs and fetuses .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rulings the GOP believes infringe on states ’ rights to be “ ignored , opposed , refused , and nullified ” —including the 2015 marriage equality ruling .
It also calls for the repeal of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution  ( which allows for the appointment by the governor of a U.S. senator in the event of a suddenly vacated seat in the governor ’ s state ) and a return to U.S. senators being appointed by state legislatures .
It also calls for an Article V Convention of States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the power of the federal government .
West ’ s campaign has been endorsed by a number of religious-right leaders , including religious-right “ historian ” David Barton ( a former Texas GOP vice chair ) , Eagle Forum ’ s Cathie Adams ( a former state chair ) , and Family Research Council executive vice president Jerry Boykin .
The election for state chair was to be held as part of the state party ’ s July 16-18 convention in Houston , but this week Houston ’ s mayor ordered its cancellation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there .

(July 20 update: Allen West, backed by religious-right leaders and a right-wing megadonor, defeated incumbent James Dickey to become chair of the Texas Republican Party.)
Allen West, who was elected to Congress from Florida as part of the 2010 Tea Party wave and was defeated in 2012 after a single term, is now raising money for My Faith Votes, one of several voter identification and voter-mobilization projects designed to maximize turnout among conservative Christians. West is also running an insurgent campaign to replace the current chair of the Texas Republican Party.
A fundraising email from West was sent by My Faith Votes on Thursday with the subject line “Americans only kneel to Almighty God.” West wrote that America has been getting worse since “the secular Left began ripping God away from our schools and public life.”
“We are not the center of the universe — He is; and if we can find it within ourselves to work together and get our priorities in order, our society will be happier, safer, and more just,” West wrote. “I believe in My Faith Votes because achieving that future is their mission.”
West’s message continues on the donation page:
Right now, a fairly small but loud radical mob is looting our cities, defacing our monuments and ruining the livelihood of hardworking Americans of all colors in our inner cities. Corporate America and much of our political leadership is too weak to push back, so they kneel and echo their empty slogans. They celebrate the taking of innocent lives in the womb all in the name of “choice.” What if the silent majority of Bible-believing Christians across this nation realized that we are bigger than the anarchist and Marxist mobs (we are), and that we, not they, will decide the future?

In spite of its clear electoral goals, My Faith Votes operates as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
Here’s how West’s letter describes the group’s current activities:
They are raising up the next generation of Christian voters. They are engaging churches to reach their congregation to vote. They are recruiting one million voters in 11 states and providing voter resources for all 100,000 elections in 2020. And they’re leveraging the latest technology to engage non-voting believers.
West continued:
I hear often about the silent majority in America — that broad, diverse group of patriotic citizens who believe in Judeo-Christian principles and keep our nation grounded and working. Well, it’s time to light that Bat-Signal in the sky because those people are needed. When our institutions are under siege by a radical socialist agenda, and our Constitution is being hijacked, silence isn’t an option. We need to be involved and courageous for biblical truth.
West’s campaign to chair the Republican Party of Texas—which is being heavily funded by GOP megadonor Richard Uihlein—sounds similar themes. “Only by returning to our conservative, constitutional, and pro-life values can we turn back Godless progressive socialism,” he said in a campaign press release.

It also calls for an Article V Convention of States to propose constitutional amendments that would restrict the power of the federal government.
West’s campaign has been endorsed by a number of religious-right leaders, including religious-right “historian” David Barton (a former Texas GOP vice chair), Eagle Forum’s Cathie Adams (a former state chair), and Family Research Council executive vice president Jerry Boykin.
The election for state chair was to be held as part of the state party’s July 16-18 convention in Houston, but this week Houston’s mayor ordered its cancellation because of the surge in coronavirus cases there.

During her livestream broadcast Wednesday , QAnon conspiracy theorist and failed congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine claimed that Hillary Clinton supports efforts to make child care more accessible and affordable for parents because it makes it easier for her and other “ elites ” to kidnap and traffic children .
Last week , Clinton tweeted out a link to a New York Times article about the difficulties faced by parents as they try to work from home while they also care for and educate their children during the COVID-19 pandemic .
Clinton quoted a line from the article in which the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy , you ’ re allowed only a kid or a job , ” which Lorraine absurdly interpreted to mean that Clinton was “ saying that we ’ re only allowed one kid.

“ Do you guys know how sinister that is ?
How nefarious that is ?

One or the other .

“ She ’ s always obsessed with making child care more accessible .
Accessible child care .
She ’ s been obsessed with it since day one , for like 40 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care .

Sounds to me like accessible child-trafficking to try to take your child because it ’ s more accessible for her and the elites .

Last week, Clinton tweeted out a link to a New York Times article about the difficulties faced by parents as they try to work from home while they also care for and educate their children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Clinton quoted a line from the article in which the author noted that “in the Covid-19 economy, you’re allowed only a kid or a job,” which Lorraine absurdly interpreted to mean that Clinton was “saying that we’re only allowed one kid.”
“Hillary Clinton says you’re allowed only a kid or a job in the pandemic era,” she said. “Do you guys know how sinister that is? How nefarious that is?”

Far-right media personalities are grieving the resignation of Blake Neff, a lead writer for Fox News’ Tucker Carlson who quit his job at Fox News after CNN revealed that Neff had authored a slew of racist and sexist comments under a pseudonymous online profile and had used his role at the network to amplify those beliefs.
Reactions from several factions of the modern American far-right movement make clear that Neff’s resignation has been widely received as a loss for their cause; no longer will a writer who advanced their beliefs be able to influence Carlson, who hosts what is currently America’s most popular television news show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight.“ Carlson’s program on Fox News has been lauded by far-right activists for airing inflammatory and racist content that is at times nearly identical to the far-right movement’s own propaganda, and President Donald Trump often watches Carlson’s show approvingly, adopting Carlson’s conversation topics as his own.
CNN’s Oliver Darcy reported Friday that Neff was interacting with forum board posts where racist language, including the n-word, was casually deployed as recently as last week. Neff was reported to be a revered figure on the board, where he repeatedly expressed anti-Black views, made bigoted remarks, and over the course of five years, invited forum users to harass a woman. All the while, Neff worked at The Daily Caller and Fox News. CNN’s Darcy reports:
Neff worked at Fox News for nearly four years and was Carlson’s top writer. Previously, he was a reporter at The Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet that Carlson co-founded. In a recent article in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, Neff said, “Anything [Carlson is] reading off the teleprompter, the first draft was written by me.” He also acknowledged the show’s influence, telling the magazine, “We’re very aware that we do have that power to sway the conversation, so we try to use it responsibly.” When asked in a 2018 appearance on Fox’s “The Five” about the writing process for his show, Carlson said he spends hours working on scripts, but referred to Neff by name, saying he was a “wonderful writer” and acknowledging his assistance. And Carlson credited Neff in the acknowledgments of his book, “Ship of Fools,” for providing research. In the acknowledgments, Carlson said that Neff and two others who helped with the book “work on and greatly improve our nightly show on Fox.”
In response to CNN’s reporting, Neff resigned from his job at Fox News. Executives at the network circulated an internal memo denouncing Neff’s “horrendous and deeply offensive racist, sexist and homophobic comments.” The memo stated that Carlson was going to address Neff’s resignation on his July 13 show.

Neff, who has authored more than 2,000 articles for the Daily Caller, joins nearly a dozen former Daily Caller associates who have been exposed for holding racist and bigoted views. Three such former associates of the Daily Caller, white nationalists Scott Greer and Jason Kessler and far-right friendly Ashley Goldenberg, came to Neff’s defense after news of his resignation and Fox News’ denunciation circulated on Twitter.
Greer, a former editor and columnist at the Daily Caller who The Atlantic revealed had authored articles for alt-right poster boy Richard Spencer’s outlet Radix Journal, spun Neff’s resignation as a type of “cancel culture” that mainstream conservatives often criticize, asking: “Are any of the conservatives who’ve cried about cancel culture defending Blake Neff?” Kessler, who organized the Unite the Right white supremacist gatherings in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., claimed that Fox News was going to make Carlson “bend the knee” by addressing Neff’s resignation on air Monday and that executives “don’t care if they break [the knee] in the process.” Goldenberg, who once interned at the Daily Caller and this year lost a job at Capital Research Center after a Right Wing Watch investigation exposed her connections to far-right activists, criticized Fox News for condemning Neff’s comments.
“In case it needs to be said again: the leadership at Fox News are losers for attacking Blake Neff. Their statement adds insult to injury. They didn’t have to say anything. But instead, they issued a statement throwing the top writer for their top show under the bus. For what?” Goldenberg wrote.
Neff’s resignation was also lamented among the furthest extremes of the far-right, which has operated for years believing that Carlson shares their views. (Two of the white nationalist movement’s most popular podcast hosts, Joseph Jordan and Mike Peinovich, have said that Carlson repeats their talking points “for an audience of millions across the country.”)
The Daily Stormer, an infamous neo-Nazi blog, put it most directly in an article chiding Neff directly for posting offensive comments on the forum in a way that allowed his real-life identity to be discovered.
“Neff – you did great work. The most important work of anyone, in fact,” the author, who writes under a pseudonym, wrote. “You just did not take your work seriously enough. This lax attitude harmed Tucker Carlson, and our collective survival agenda.”
Far-right podcast host Ethan Ralph shared a similar sentiment, calling Neff’s ousting a “a media-instigated witch-hunt,” although conceding that Neff “was reckless as FUCK.”
Other far-right figures took to criticizing Fox News’ reaction to CNN’s reporting.
Bradley Dean Griffin, a white nationalist blogger, wrote in an article that Neff’s resignation showed “mainstream conservatism is a failure.” Lana Lokteff, a media personality at a white nationalist propaganda outlet, defended Neff’s comments as jokes and attacked non-white news personalities who she claims are allowed to “openly hate on Whites.” Nick Fuentes, an anti-Semitic and white nationalist podcast host popular with younger followers of the white nationalist movement, called Fox News’ condemnation of Neff “ridiculous and unnecessary” and claimed the network’s leaders “constantly betray their loyal conservative viewers.”
Media figures allied with the far-right said they were disappointed Neff lost his job and wished him the best. Jon Miller, a former host for Glenn Beck’s BlazeTV, posted on Twitter that Neff was “brilliant” and called Fox News “idiots” for getting rid of him. Miller has adamantly defended VDARE, a white nationalist organization.
“This is not good for my career, but Blake Neff is responsible for some of the most beautiful monologues that ever aired on your network, helping create the most successful cable personality ever. And you’re just gonna can him? You guys are idiots,” Miller wrote.
Cassandra Fairbanks, a contributor for The Gateway Pundit, said she hopes Neff is hired at a new job. “Don’t be as stupid as Fox was,” she wrote. “That man can write. Tucker is the number one cable news show for a reason.”


rightwingwatch--2020-07-13--Scott Lively Says Women’s Right to Vote a ‘Product of the Soviet Bolshevik Revolution’

During Sunday ’ s “ Breaking News Bible Study ” program , which airs on radio station WETR in Knoxville , Tennessee , Trump–loving radical anti-LGBTQ activist Scott Lively declared that the 19th Amendment , which granted women the right to vote , was “ a product of the Soviet Bolshevik revolution ” and runs contrary to “ a truly biblical worldview.

“ I ’ m just saying let me ask a question here : Would the voters of 1920—of course , these were all men—and would the women who were urging their husbands to vote have voted for the 19th Amendment if they knew that the highest achievement of women ’ s right to vote in the minds of women in 2020 would be the slaughtering of unborn babies ?
” “ Let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richard May , Lively ’ s co-host , replied .
“ Would the women of the church of the 1920s be so inclined to pastor and lead churches if they knew that it would lead to rampant homosexuality and the approval of transgender pastors ?

“ A truly biblical worldview has male authority—male authority established by God .

Intercessors for America sent followers described as prayer warriors a “prophetic word” about Attorney General William Barr last week, urging them to pray for Barr and to send him an encouraging message through the IFA website. The message was sent Tuesday, just two days before former U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman testified that Barr has lied to the American public about his efforts to force Berman to resign.
IFA’s message said that Barr has been attacked by Trump’s opponents “because he is in active pursuit of justice against the Deep State.” The online tool that allows people to send a message to Barr through IFA allows people to send their own message or go with the default that IFA provided, which reads as follows:
Thank you, Attorney General Barr, for protecting justice in our nation. I am grateful that you are pursuing the truth in relation to the investigation into surveillance and subversion in our government. I, like many Americans, am thankful for your boldness to call those to account who may have been perceived as untouchable to justice in our nation. Thank you for following the facts and the evidence.

Many blessings to you as you continue to protect our Constitution, ensure our freedoms, and facilitate justice.
Barr’s Trump-enabling behavior has earned him comparisons to Roy Cohn, the kind of amoral fixer that Trump made clear he wanted in an attorney general. Now that Barr has come under increasing fire, in part for his ham-fisted effort to bully Berman into quitting his job, IFA is coming to his defense as it has so often for Trump. A resolution calling for Barr’s impeachment has been introduced in the House of Representatives.
IFA’s “prophetic word” about Barr includes the recounting of a dream that IFA contributing writer Gloria Robles said she had in 2018. In the dream, Robles stood on a chair and prayed when an unruly mob was screaming while Barr was testifying before the Senate. Barr is currently scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on July 28.
