Liberals have built their current party on wide-sweeping “get out the vote” efforts for the past two decades. Even before social media became our main mode of communication, I remember concerted efforts to get young people to vote through local events, TV commercials, or blogging and email campaigns. I caught onto the game pretty quickly. Liberals thought that if they could simply get enough young, uneducated, illogical people to vote, they would win. They bet on the odds that if they could get someone under age 30 to vote, they would vote blue. If these young voters are already brainwashed by public education and progressive colleges and are now young adults who can be easily manipulated by emotional social media messaging, the Democrats could build a party with a high volume of voters with very little intelligence on true political issues. As a conservative, I will rarely admonish people to “go vote.” No, thank you. As I’ve been trying to encourage people to vote and vote early, this election, I’ve had to think through who I want to target, so I don’t accidentally send Kamala voters to the polls.
But if you don’t fall into these categories, I actually don’t care if you vote. Because I want people to head to the polls because they share the same values that I do. I am voting... ~ To maintain my First Amendment rights to speak freely and worship God. ~ To stop any momentum toward the federal legalization of abortion ~ To protect my four beautiful daughters by keeping them safe in bathrooms and locker rooms and maybe even giving them a chance to grow up playing sports like I did ~ To close the border, even just an inch ~ To stop sending money abroad so we can afford life at home They say it’s not about who you vote for, it’s what you vote for. But if you can’t figure out the difference between who wants you to be free and who only wants you to be free to kill your own child, you probably shouldn't vote. Please stay home.

A year ago, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was brutally stabbed to death at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, a peer from another school, was charged with the crime and his trial is scheduled for June of this year. I don’t know what it was about this particular incident that grieved me so much. The death of any child is a tragedy. But this one hit me hard. Perhaps it was because my oldest daughter had just started her first middle school track season when the Metcalf...
Last week, First Lady Melania Trump invited a robot humanoid to accompany her on stage at the “Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit” on AI Education and Safety for Children at the White House. A creepy white robot with a human-like physique walked with the First Lady down a red carpet before greeting guests in English and ten other languages and stating, “I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education.” The message was...
The other day, I saw a post from a leader of the organization "Women of Welcome" that posed this question: “Confused by Christians who: Spent money Raised money Prayed for Traveled & Sent their own kids to the 10/40 window to plant ‘seeds for the gospel’ And now to champion the deportation of the harvest.” I’m sorry, but I’m confused by Christians who so badly distort Scripture that they think allowing millions to flood into our country illegally somehow fulfills the Great Commission.
