Watch out for Project 2025
Project 2025 provides an agenda for the next conservative president. Most people will not read this 900-plus page document but rely on their favorite left- or right-biased news supplier to “learn” about it.
I am a registered independent. I have read over 500 pages and scanned the remaining 400. As an American, not red or blue, you should understand Project 2025.
All in all, much of Project 2025 takes an exhaustive look at the current state of our Executive Branch and makes common-sense recommendations to reduce cost, bureaucracy, overlap, etc. However, some parts are incredibly frightening.
Project 2025 says the president should staff all senior positions in the Executive Branch that do not require Senate confirmation with their political appointees. Otherwise, it says, opposition may surface. So much for open, honest policy debate on the direction of the country.
For positions that require Senate approval, it advocates filling these positions with “acting” positions, basically circumventing the Senate if senators cannot come to agreement on their candidate. This essentially creates a king at the helm, an autocracy.
Project 2025 advocates there will be no “public servants” career government workers in any policy-making role. Ask yourself, regardless of your party affiliation, would you ever want this type of government?
Recall the War of 1812. Recall a time when you worked for a company where all the senior management were yes-men to the president. Don’t forget, you can be the target of any policy, whether you work in a factory, small business, a hospital or receive food stamps, get any type of assistance – Project 2025 recommends policies that will affect you, and you won’t have any input.
Supporting Project 2025 will affect you, and you don’t know how far into your day-to-day life it will come. Read this document, understand it, then vote like it matters – because this time it truly does.

Spiritual fall of the U.S.A.
America is on a meteoric spiritual descent. We have thrown away our moral compass. America is following the prince of this world, Satan, who comes to rob, kill and destroy.
One of his highest goals is depopulation. His followers fight for the right of mothers to dismember their children or to take a drug that spews their baby from the womb and drowns them in a toilet.
Satan loves to intoxicate, addict and kill with drugs.
He prefers fentanyl to kill us with a single pill. He encourages homosexuality, lesbianism and transgenderism’s genital mutilation to depopulate America.
We are the No. 1 child sex-trafficking nation in the world, trafficking 300,000 children annually, raping these little ones until most die of abuse. Sixty percent of U.S. adults reported watching pornographic content habitually. We no longer need a spouse for sexual intimacy, leading to procreation.
We’re a nation that supports war, bloodshed and death, murdering 4.5 million people since 2001.
Where is the church while America descends into the abyss? Are they kneeling with repentant hearts, weeping in anguish for our nation? Can you name a church that has a prayer night, brethren agonizing in prayer deep into the night, and that goes out weekly to evangelize Murphy? I can’t.
The church isn’t growing because it doesn’t want to be bothered to share the gospel of Christ’s salvation. It has become the Laodicean “Church of the Pathetic Apathetic.” It offers the world emotional entertainment, the prosperity doctrine and waves the flag of Remphan, the god of the demons, supporting genocide.
Well, God has seen enough. The stench of America’s sins has turned God’s anger into His righteous judgment. Judgment has come as Jesus unleashes His anger and punishes America.
Perhaps then America will repent and believers return to their first love.

Even angels are unaware
I have always been fascinated by stories of angels in the Bible and how Satan chose to try and overthrow God and make himself God, which didn’t turn out too well, as Satan and a third of his angels were cast out of heaven down to Earth. Thus, evil became a curse on the whole world.
In 2 Corinthians 11:14,
Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. People have the idea that Satan has cloven feet and horns, but if Satan would make himself visible to you, you would see a being of breathtaking beauty. As Satan is transformed into an angel of light, so his ministers are transformed as ministers of righteousness; they, too, are very attractive.
All across our world, these ministers of light are in our pulpits glorifying themselves instead of the Lord, Jesus Christ. They are as phony as a $3 bill, but how they can preach their own special twist to the gospel message of Christ in such a smooth way that folks buy into their agenda and are hooked by Satan’s cunning lies, which are destroying churches across the globe.
How can we know the difference when faced with the reality head-on in our own place of worship? All Satan’s ministers glorify themselves. This is one way you can tell whether a man is preaching the simplicity of the word of God, or whether he is preaching some other gospel. Another way of knowing is if they leave out the deity of God and never mention Jesus as Lord over all.
Beware of false prophets in sheep’s clothing. They are as real in today’s world, as they are in the heavens above, but God has put a mark on all evildoers in the world. They will reap what they have sown.

Media bias and hoaxes
The state and social media always gyrates around the state party, the Democrat Party, talking points. The ad nauseum refrains are coordinated and hardly should be considered spontaneous.
A recent example of media revisionist efforts to rewrite history supporting Kamala Harris’ election bid is saying Harris was not a diversity, equity and inclusion pick for vice president. President Joe Biden reiterated in 2020 that he was picking his vice president based on gender and skin color.
Examine the following media biases, myths and hoaxes:
- Former President Donald Trump’s Russian collusion.
- Police officer killed at Jan. 6 protest.
- Hamas’ Gaza hospital was targeted.
- Jussie Smollett attack.
- MAGA assaulted Paul Pelosi.
- Trump assaulted Secret Service agents and grabbed steering wheel.
- Trump Trashed troops as “losers and suckers.”
- Trump told people to drink bleach.
- NASCAR noose.
- Trump’s “very fine people” quote.
- Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation.
- The Trump “bloodbath” comment.
Americans rightfully are dubious on the national media’s veracity in reporting and investigating government agencies, companies or private individuals. There are plenty of Pinocchios among media moguls.
The “poster boy” for recent media bias is Big Pharma. In 2023, the pharmaceutical industry spent around $10 billion on direct-to-consumer television advertising in the United States, which was 75% of their total advertising budget. This explains why media correspondents were reluctant to disclose adverse medical data on mRNA coronavirus “vaccines,” choosing instead to promote jabs for their viewers.
Ask Tucker Carlson about the pharmaceutical industry’s power. One of his pronouncements, prior to being fired, was that maybe the COVID-19 vaccine “doesn’t work, and they’re simply not telling you that.” Bravo Tucker.

Exit car with Harris/Walz
David Bellino (who wrote a letter to the editor), most of my letter was quoted from the given source, firstliberty.org. If you have a beef with the message, take it up with them. Reiterating, pastors cannot tell people who to vote for.
The pastor to run from is the one who leaves congregants in their mucky comfort zones with ear-tickling, watered-down sermons.
Bellino, James Bradley, Thomas Hudson and Roslyn Heaton, your hate blinds you from seeing truth. Read Erwin W. Lutzer’s No Reason to Hide. The Moody Church’s pastor emeritus explains the DEI, “woke” and CRT agendas extremely well. God’s very clear about loving sinners, but not their sins.
Once enlightened, maybe the venom you spewed (typical of most Democrats, who prefer twisting or overlooking accurate facts) will become diluted with truth.
President Joe Biden’s a perfect example of defiance or ignorance of God’s word. He’s a Catholic who chooses to do immoral things and support convenient abortion (as does Kamala Harris), when God views it as murder.
Someone who kills a woman and/or her unborn child is held accountable for
homicide and jailed. Yet, an innocent fetus is unmercifully ripped from a womb for convenience without legal consequences. This is moral hypocrisy.
Hudson wants freedom of speech censored. Well, Democrats and the media have long been doing that. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg just admitted Biden “pressured” him to “censor” important COVID content from the public.
Democrats are so good at distortion that America is on the brink of destruction, with people struggling due to Biden’s administration.
Dr. Alveda King, niece of the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.,
expressed her sound reasoning for supporting former President Donald Trump in her article published in Breaking Christian News.
Wisely exit the Harris/Walz vehicle before the doors are locked, there is no escape, and it crashes and bums. With you in it.
