Do We Really Want Government to Be God? By Jake MacAulay Last week, I exhorted Americans and the President to abandon the scourge of Socialism in the face of our international pandemic.   Not only has Donald Trump made an abrupt departure from his “conservative” rhetoric, the president has now joined with Congress and signed the most massive multi-trillion dollar socialist scheme in history.   In the face of a national emergency, the President and the Congress have jettisoned

Socialism is the greater Crisis by Jake MacAulay  We live in interesting times, don’t we?   Just a month ago, with our economy humming along, our attention was on March Madness, and the upcoming baseball season.   Now we are occupied with COVID-19 and “social distancing”.   I think we can all agree that this has happened very quickly and reactively, and the attitude of government officials is that they must take whatever actions necessary to intervene in the economy, as well

An American Answer to the Coronavirus By Jake MacAulay When faced with hardship, Americans have a history of coming together and crying out to God.  This morning I read an article in TheTrumpet.com that recorded numerous occasions of prevailing prayer over American calamities:  At the start of the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress declared: “Congress … considering the present critical, alarming and calamitous state … do earnestly recommend, that Thursday,

Truth is the Glue: Biden and Bloomberg Lies are the Hoax By Jake MacAulay The recent purposefully deceptive statements made by Joseph Biden and Michael Bloomberg regarding the President’s response to the coronavirus emergency are shocking and revealing. First, Joe Biden repeated earlier erroneous press reports that the Trump administration is "muzzling" Dr. Anthony Fauci, which Fauci had firmly denied the day before. Next Mike Bloomberg told CBS's Scott Pelley that Trump call

The Washington Examiner recently reported that Presidential hopeful and Democratic frontrunner, Bernie Sanders, made the following statement while running for governor in 1972: “I don’t mind people coming up and calling me a communist.” During the Reagan era, Sanders even campaigned for self-described  Trotskyites , a Marxist sect that openly calls for violent revolutions. Sanders’ involvement with the Socialist Workers Party raised so many suspicions that he was even investi

“[T]he Senate may dismiss articles of impeachment without holding a full trial or taking any evidence… Put another way, the Constitution does not impose on the Senate the duty to hold a trial. In fact, the Senate need not hold a trial even though the House wishes to present evidence and hold a full trial[.]” “In a number of previous impeachment trials, the Senate has reached the judgment that its constitutional role as sole trier of impeachments does not require it to take ne

The Deliberate Christianity of Our Founders by Jake MacAulay   John Dickinson, Revolutionary War general and signer of the Constitution, made the claim:   “[Governments] could not give the rights essential to happiness… We claim them from a higher source: from the King of kings, and Lord of all the earth.”   The Constitution concludes in the subscription clause with the words:   “In the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven…”   Often left out of the n

The Pretended Articles of Impeachment Against a President By Jake MacAulay We recently received the following inquiry at Institute on the Constitution: “One of the Articles of Impeachment delivered to the Senate was a charge of obstruction of justice because Trump didn't cooperate with the investigation. But isn't there protection from self-incrimination in the Bill of Rights? Does a sitting president (or anyone, for that matter) have to cooperate with an investigation?” Assu

Glenn has asked me to expand a bit on our discussion of America’s Progressives from Friday’s television show, which I’ll do in this and four subsequent pieces for the newsletter.  In today’s piece, I’ll explain who the Progressives were and why they were important.

Whereas the delegates of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, did, on the fifteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven, and in the second year of the Independence of America, agree to certain Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia

The First Amendment was never intended to separate Christian principles from government.  Yet, today, we often hear “First Amendment” coupled with the phrase, “separation of church and state.”  Here is a summary and timetable of the history of this phrase, and how it has changed America,  from David Barton’s video, “Church, State and the Real First Amendment, Part-2”

If you have religious views within the Judaic or Christian tradition that founded America, big institutions are lining up to flatten your freedom to believe. This includes Big Government, Big Corporate, Big Media, Big Education, and Big Advocacy. Guided by a secular worldview, these powers have combined to declare war against your freedom to openly hold your religious beliefs, and they are not hesitant to inflict painful sanctions.

This is often a very difficult topic to discuss, because many Christians believe, and indeed have been told, to keep their faith out of the public/government arena, and that once they have been saved, they are citizens of God’s government (Heaven) and that is all that counts. There is another broader view that encompasses our Christian lives while we live on earth.
