I’ve prayed. I’ve waited.

It’s best that I was walking out the door right after this happened and had a window where no reaction could be made.

 

Even then, I am still so furious and disgusted that this is where we are in the world.

My kids now live in a country where there was an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate, the one who most closely represents their family’s values.

 

Circumstances, not subjects, surely must require us to acknowledge that the Lord intervened. Trump was spared and I pray that gives him clarity, peace, and purpose that is set on honoring HE WHO DEFENDS. I pray we see that this very week.

 

Is there room for everyone to be careful about their words and actions? Sure. That would be amazing.

But I absolutely won’t pretend responsibility should be distributed equally around the table. It should not.

 

Not while the left is declaring the imminent end of our country… Trump’s a doomsday dictator, a threat to democracy…the world is ending, “they gonna put y’all back in chains,” women won’t vote…he cannot be allowed to win.

 

Not while the left calls for Trump to be stopped and then immediately calls for a “preemptive ceasefire” like the ones given on October 7th—That’s where one side creates chaos, confusion, and danger…then something predictably chaotic, confusing, or dangerous happens…and they immediately call on the other side to be peaceful.

Only in America can you persecute, prosecute, convict, condemn, call for a man to be killed…and when he survives…demand he be tasked to keep everyone else calm.

 

He absolutely should not do any kind of joint event with Biden. That is something done when both parties are responsible.

 

Biden should have to own this all by himself, with his surrogates, with the democratic leadership, with the democratic influencers who have tweeted, reeled, ranted, and pined for just such a thing to happen. And friend, they have. Receipts have been kept.

 

I will not feign some “needed measure of maturity” to virtue signal or lessen the sting of the reality the left has created. That is not maturity. It is manipulation. I don’t need to be liked that bad and you don’t need to be lied to.

 

Are there crazies out there on the right? Yes. I’m quite certain there are. But they are not the paid pundits at news desks, or the celebrated journo-class…they are not our elected leaders holding office at the capitol or the bright, shining faces of the party.

Who are they on the left? I think we both know the answer to that.

 

In the 3 hours after the shooting, I saw 65 tweets and TikToks of the left melting down because this was only an attempt and not a success. And I’m not even on TikTok.

Biden’s own social media and ads are being scrubbed right now BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION because some content “is no longer appropriate.”

 

Friend, if an assassination attempt on your opponent can make your ads seem uncomfortably related or inappropriate…they ARE related and WERE NEVER appropriate.

 

“Political violence is absolutely unacceptable…” Yeah…it is… but entirely predictable when you stoke it DAILY. PUBLICLY. PROUDLY. COLLECTIVELY.

 

“There is no place for political violence in our country…” except that the left has invited and made room for it every time they villainized a man as a fascist unworthy of life or breath.

Donald Trump was never a threat to democracy. If he was—and they cared about democracy—they would have insisted on running a better candidate than Biden in 2024.

 

He was a threat to a regime and the power they had consolidated and maintained. And THAT made him dangerous. That made it necessary to ruin him.

But…but… He is a dictator.

He is a fascist.

He is Hitler.

He must be stopped.

He is a threat to you, your family, your freedom…everything America stands for. Well dang. That seems serious.

 

Words have meaning.

Words have consequences.

You can’t continue with this kind of language as mere political strategy or sport. Not while you’re normalizing mental illness at the same time.

What did you think they would think you meant by “by any means necessary?”

 

I know there is a lot of information that is yet unknown and will need to be considered over the coming days. But there is one thing I need zero additional time to process.

 

Evil is evil.

And we must call it evil every single time we see it.

What has been done to Donald Trump? Evil.

What has been done to our country? Evil.

What has been done to our culture? Evil.

Teaching a nation to hate itself, its history, and its heroes? Evil.

Weaponizing every institution and agency to suppress and oppress people? Evil.

What has been done to our children—to countless young boys and girls—lured into adult created chaos and confusion? Evil.

The unknowns we are inviting upon the next generation through meds and mutilation? Evil.

What is being done to marriage, family, and the unborn? Evil.

The gaslighting, manipulation, and deception doled out on the public by the media and our leaders? Evil.

 

We war against evil—against principalities not people.

But make no mistake—it is war. And it will not be won with apathy, silence, or servile surrender.

 

Do we want a country or not? You have a choice and I’d just assume you make it today. Ignorance and indulgence or character and courage.

The road is narrow and requires Jesus and now likely Kevlar.

But if we fight—we win. HE wins.

 

Really think about what has transpired in the last 10 days.

Tell me there is any other explanation than the Lord intervening on our behalf!

Allowing Biden to be seen rightly? Forcing truth to be acknowledged where it has been denied for years?! Revealing the corruption of the DNC?

 

A fraction of an inch would have killed Trump tonight—no he is not the beast of Revelation, not receiving a wound is not the same as receiving and being healed of it—but I love it that the left went to Scripture tonight! My word, how many prayed for our nation tonight that never have before??

 

What I am saying is this—God has not abandoned us yet. In fact, I think He is moving mightily on our behalf.

Why don’t we move mightily on behalf of Him?

Pray more. Say more.

Long for repentance and revival.

Be better. Be braver. Be bolder. Fight.
