    Democrats Playing Politics with National Security

    Taped before a live audience at First Baptist Church in Midland, Texas as part of the Faith, Family and Freedom Tour, U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) previews the “skinny reconciliation” which passed the Senate and which the House will enact next week to fund Customs & Border Patrol and ICE; the Speaker charges Democrats are “endangering Americans” by continuing the longest shutdown in government history just to score political points. Congressman SCOTT PERRY (R-PA) — a member of the House Intelligence Committee — says President DONALD J. TRUMP is “remaking the Middle East” as he deals with Iran, Israel and Lebanon. Congressman CHIP ROY (R-TX) plans hearings on insuring protections of pro-life Americans in the wake of newly-revealed Biden Administration abuses. Then, Pastor DARREN WOODS of FBC/Midland offers theological perspective on the importance of political and church leaders remaining independent of each other … and refers to the so-called Trump/Jesus meme as “an unforced error” by the President … and TONY PERKINS’ echoes that churches must remain “active in but independent of” political policy.

    J.D. Vance Toe-To-Toe with Iran at Negotiating Table & Democrats’ Doomed “War Powers” Vote

    On our latest edition, U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON looks ahead to reopening DHS via a Senate/House “reconciliation” procedure…and notes the Democrats will try to advance a pointless restriction on President DONALD J. TRUMP’s ability to conduct military action in Iran. Meantime, JAMES ROSEN—Chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax—zeroes in on Vice President JD VANCE arriving in Islamabad, Pakistan to lead negotiations with Iran, saying “there’s a tough road ahead;” Rosen also addresses the staggering jump in gas and grocery prices which are concerning voters as the Midterms approach. Dr. MICHAEL RUBIN, director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum, calls Iran negotiations “Vice President Vance’s opportunity to show he has what it takes to lead the free world.” Dr. MARK DAVID HALL of Regent University outlines the role Christian faith played in founding America 250 years ago, and TONY PERKINS’ commentary warns that “a day or reckoning is coming” after Pro-Life voters have seen the promise by governmental leaders to protect unborn life go unfulfilled despite overturning Roe v Wade.
