Is Trump Really Causing People Not To Attend Church?

When the editor of the Christian Post published an article yesterday titled "Trump's Christian support is driving half of Gen Zers away from church," it caught my attention.

It further caught my attention when I saw Billy Graham's name associated with the study they were using to advance the idea that Trump is causing people not to go to church.

As I continued, when I reached the bottom of the article, the "study" story began to make sense.

And I remembered why I resigned from the board of the National Association of Evangelicals some years ago.

It wasn't that I was no longer an evangelical; it was because I was an evangelical and could not support the direction the new NAE president was taking the 55-million-member organization.

I didn't believe then, nor do I now believe that Christians should worship the "creature" rather than the "Creator."

Nor should we as biblical Christians choose to bow down to so-called "climate change."

Or now, in this story, bow down to the Christian Left's "open border" activists.

"It Never Happens," But It Just Did: 6600 Times In Democrat State

Yes, the thing the Democrats tell us never happens has happened yet again. And, weirdly, it happened in a state that's been largely run by Democrats since well into the last century, although this latest "never happens" incident is apparently all Donald Trump's fault. Of course.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, revealed in a long, rambling X post Tuesday that 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote in the Garden State due to a "serious software error" in the state's Motor Vehicle System.

Communism In America

Benny Johnson, a significant and trusted social media influencer, recently posted: 

Communist NYC Mayor Mamdani is interfering in American Foreign Policy again. First, his administration was caught setting up secret meetings with Iran. Now he's threatening to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A city mayor who has zero authority to interfere in US foreign policy or order arrests of foreign leaders. Did he violate '18 USC 875' by transmitting threats and extortion-style demands across state or national lines with his reckless statements? Mamdani should be investigated over this and denaturalized, then deported himself.

New York Democrat Mayor Mamdani has become the leader of a growing segment of the Democrat Party that will ultimately destroy that party.

We must not allow them to destroy America.

And much more concerning, it will destroy America from within if left unchecked.

NYT: "Lionel Messi's Soccer Career Ends In Heart Break." Messi Disagrees.

While an estimated one and one-half billion people watched the World Cup soccer championship game yesterday, about half the viewers screamed in joy as Spain beat Argentina and its star player Lionel Messi, while the other half of the world bowed their heads in defeat.

Except for Messi. 

The New York Times summed it up from their perspective with this:

Spain wins 2026 World Cup.

Spain defeated Lionel Messi’s Argentina in extra time to win the 2026 World Cup.

Substitute Ferran Torres struck in the second half of extra time to secure Spain’s second World Cup after a disappointing Argentina were reduced to 10 men.

The defending champions did not register an attempt on goal until the 117th minute and fell short in their bid to become only the third nation to retain the World Cup.

Instead, Messi’s glorious World Cup career ended in heartbreak at the age of 39.

Messi has a different perspective because he has a different worldview.
