Now is the time to become an abortion ABOLITIONIST

This is big.

Like, tectonic shift big.

The leak of the draft opinion by Justice Alito on Roe v. Wade is big enough to be the Watergate scandal of our era, let alone the ramifications of what it could mean for the unborn.

The modern pro-life movement has never had the momentum it does today and we cannot afford to let this divine intervention pass us by.

The time for slogans and platitudes has passed and good men and women of faith need to take courage and not shrink in the face of the monumental work ahead. The road ahead is long and the work is hard but if we rise to this challenge and are victorious, the blessings bestowed by our Creator will be more powerful than anything we can imagine.

The odds were not in our favor that this day would ever come, especially in the face of the dominatingSpirit of the Age — but the opportunity is here and we must seize the reigns and never look back.

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

We are all granted the gift of life, blessed with liberty, and given the opportunity to pursue happiness — all bestowed by a loving God who created us. As believers, we are charged with multiplying and replenishing the Earth, protecting the life we help cultivate and produce, and to fight to preserve the God-given rights of all.

The Declaration of Independence clearly spells out these rights and the truths are plain and simple. It seems straightforward in its messaging and language but its still waters run deep and are anything but simple. Like the United States Constitution, it was penned by mere mortals, yet they were mortals who were divinely inspired by God. This divine inspiration is the key that unlocked the miracle of America and is vital to its continued survival.

So how are we doing in all facets of our charge and stewardship?

Think of all the restrictions imposed on us over the past couple of years. We couldn’t do much of anything for a while without wearing a mask or proof of vaccination. Has providing for your family faced any challenges or roadblocks as of late with rising inflation and shortages? Or — heaven forbid — have you lost your job or had your hours reduced?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have all been on lockdown thanks to politicians who just couldn’t let a good crisis go to waste. But did we do our part to fight them or did we sit back silently while muttering under our breath and doing little else?

If you are like me, you probably could have done better. But, our failures in protecting these rights pale in comparison to the epic failure in our efforts to protect and preserve the life of the unborn for nearly five decades.

Overturning Roe v. Wade is a win beyond description but we're not done...

Forget abolishing the Fed or I.C.E. or defunding the police, it’s time God-fearing Americans took a stand and demanded the defunding of Planned Parenthood and ABOLISH ABORTION — once and for all!

Overturning Roe v. Wade would be a win beyond description but even if it does indeed happen — we still have a lot more to accomplish. This would completely remove the federal government from the process (which feels so freaking good to say!) but it does NOT eliminate the majority of abortions. It merely passes jurisdiction on to the states where they can decide. Federalism and decentralization are the answer for so much of what ails us and they are amazing — if not underutilized — tools that we must incorporate at any opportunity.

Letting the states govern themselves with the ability to decide their own abortion legislation is an excellent if not surprising first step. Those are the judicial and legislative aspects of a very moral problem. Just because it's the state government and not the feds doesn't mean that the moral problem has been solved. With the bureaucratic red tape sorted, let's dig into the morality of the issue.

While there are some instances where the death of the fetus is inevitable, abortion is NOT. To be clear, abortion is a wanton act of terminating a life, regardless of the reason. In the extremely rare event of the pregnancy putting the life of the mother at risk, of course, you prioritize her life above all else. The termination of a pregnancy may be necessary for some instances but the intentional act of killing a viable fetus, for the most part, is not.

We MUST NOT let the Left continue to define the argument and control the language any longer. We have been playing their game on their terms, by their rules, for far too long. Finding a way to put the genie back in the bottle will be hard enough but trying to do it with their ever-changing word games is darn-near impossible. In order to flip the script in this debate, we must become the people God put us on this planet to be. But the key is making the changes a part of us, not just as a manipulative tool to get what we want.

This may sound counterintuitive but bear with me for a moment. It's time to throw winning and losing out the window along with all the tactics that have failed completely. We cannot change people’s hearts and minds if all we are trying to do is change the scoreboard. This issue is about people, love, and compassion — and loving someone doesn't include keeping score.

We will all be held to account for what we've made of the life granted to us by our Creator, but we are never meant to be the judge of another. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to be a pregnant 14-year-old girl who just found out she was “punished with a baby". You can’t fault her for being completely terrified and at least considering ALL of her options — abortion included.

We have been playing... on their terms, by their rules, for far too long.

We must FORGIVE those who have chosen to abort. It's not only the compassionate thing to do but also what is required of us as Christians. Forgiveness always edifies and uplifts all parties while allowing reconciliation to flourish.

Find ways to show LOVE to those who have already made this choice as well as those who are now facing this gut-wrenching decision. However, this must be authentic, with genuine love and concern, or it will be exposed for all to see.

STRENGTHEN those who are in this situation and EDUCATE them on all the options available. This is a huge part of the solution. So many times the choice seems so black and white, either it will "ruin your life" or "abort". But there are so many other options available and knowing these are key.

We must TAKE A STAND and refuse to let the forces of darkness win. Refuse to give in and help people shake the apathy from their slumbering eyes. If you feel this call, I urge you to follow through and become the Fredrick Douglas or Harriet Tubman figure within your sphere of influence and help abolish this plague once and for all.

Always remember, hate and love are not opposites. The two emotions are quite intense but they operate on the same spectrum, while the enemy of both is apathy. Sparking the passion for the cause of life is contagious and has the potential to spread like a wildfire. It can breathe life into a stagnant soul. If we stoke the flames and feed the fires of righteousness, there’s no telling what good can be accomplished and who will join us.

Politically the focus needs to be on waking the sleeping masses. Believe it or not, the Left and the abortion racket do not have public opinion in their favor. By and large, people tolerate abortion up to a point, but very few fully embrace the choice. In fact, a lot of those who support abortion do so with conditions attached. Also, a large number of women who have had abortions deeply regret it at some point.

The Left has owned this debate for the past 30 years and now is the time we take it back. Up until now, the possibility of reversing this abhorrent ruling has been a pipedream and many conservatives in Congress have relegated their passion for the subject to the back burner and have backed down at every turn.

Do not shrink in the face of history.

But change is in the air.

Abolishing abortion altogether is a huge undertaking, make no mistake about it — but making these changes helps us become a people worthy of God’s divine providence and intervention. With the current shift in the political winds providing some much-needed momentum, we are about to see miracles unfold the likes of which the world has never seen!

Today, I call on all those who hold life sacred — on either side of the aisle — to join with me in this fight. Do not shrink in the face of history. Step up to the plate and fulfill your divinely appointed charge.

We may have wilted in the intense heat of this fight up until now, but let today be the day that we forge a battalion of abortion abolitionists and affirm and protect the lives of our most vulnerable!

Take courage and remember that God put you on this Earth at this time for a purpose and you have everything within you to accomplish what He expects from you.

Is today the day abortion finally goes by the wayside? There's only one way to know for sure: let's mess around and find out.

The Deep State's NEW plan to backstab Trump

We cannot make the same mistake we made in 2016 — celebrating victory while the deep state plots its next move.

In 2016, Donald Trump shocked the world by defeating Hillary Clinton. Conservatives cheered, believing we’d taken back the reins of our country. But we missed the bigger battle. We failed to recognize the extent of the damage caused by eight years of Barack Obama and decades of progressive entrenchment. The real war isn’t won at the ballot box. It’s being waged against an insidious force embedded deep within our institutions: the administrative state, or the “deep state.”

This isn’t a new problem. America’s founders foresaw it, though they didn’t have a term for “deep state” back in the 1700s. James Madison, in Federalist 48, warned us that combining legislative, executive, and judicial powers in the same hands is “the very definition of tyranny.” Yet today, that’s exactly where we stand. Unelected bureaucrats in agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Justice hold more power than the officials we vote for. They control the levers of government with impunity, dictating policies and stifling change.

This is the fight for the soul of our nation. The founders’ vision of a constitutional republic is under siege.

We’ve felt the consequences of this growing tyranny firsthand. During COVID-19, so-called experts ran our lives, crushing civil liberties under the guise of public safety. Our intelligence agencies and justice system turned into weapons of political warfare, targeting a sitting president and his supporters. Meanwhile, actual criminals were given a pass, turning American cities into lawless war zones.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1816 that “the functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents.” Today, we see Jefferson’s prophecy fulfilled. The deep state exercises unchecked power over our freedoms, and information itself is controlled by the fourth branch of government: the legacy media.

Even when we win elections, the deep state doesn’t concede defeat. It switches to survival mode. Trump’s first term proved this. Despite a historic mandate to dismantle the bureaucracy, the deep state fought back with everything it had: leaks, investigations, court rulings, and obstruction at every turn. And now, with the possibility of Trump returning to office, the deep state is preparing to do it again.

Progressives are laying out their attack plan — and they’re not even hiding it.

U.S. Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.) recently boasted about forming a “shadow cabinet” to govern alongside the deep state, regardless of who’s in the White House. Nickel called it “democracy’s insurance policy.” Let’s be clear: This isn’t insurance. It’s sabotage.

They’ll employ a “top down, bottom up, inside out” strategy to overwhelm and collapse any effort to reform the system. From the top, federal judges and shadow officials will block Trump’s every move. Governors in blue states like California and New York are gearing up to resist federal authority. During Trump’s first term, California filed over 100 lawsuits against his administration. Expect more of the same starting January 20.

From the bottom, progressive groups like the American Civil Liberties Union will flood the streets with protesters, much as they did to oppose Trump’s first-term immigration reforms. They’ve refined their tactics since 2016 and are prepared to unleash a wave of civil unrest. These aren’t spontaneous movements; they’re coordinated assaults designed to destabilize the administration.

Finally, from the inside, the deep state will continue its mission of self-preservation. Agencies will drag their feet, leak sensitive information, and undermine policies from within. Their goal is to make everything a chaotic mess, so the heart of their power — the bureaucratic core — remains untouched and grows stronger.

We cannot make the same mistake we made in 2016 — celebrating victory while the deep state plots its next move. Progressives never see themselves as losing. When they’re out of power, they simply shift tactics, pumping more blood into their bureaucratic heart. We may win elections, but the war against the deep state will only intensify. As George Washington warned in his Farewell Address, “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force; and force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

This is the fight for the soul of our nation. The founders’ vision of a constitutional republic is under siege. The deep state has shown us its plan: to govern from the shadows, circumventing the will of the people. But now that the shadows have been exposed, we have a choice. Will we accept this silent tyranny, or will we demand accountability and reclaim our nation’s heart?

The battle is just beginning. We can’t afford to lose.

Drone mystery exposes GLARING government incompetence

Gary Hershorn / Contributor | Getty Images

The drone issue is getting way out of hand.

Earlier this month, Glenn first reported on the mysterious drones stalking the night sky over New Jersey, but the situation is increasingly concerning as the sightings have escalated. Not only have drones been seen across the Northeast Coast, including over New York City, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, but recently, they have been spotted over the night skies of San Diego and other parts of Southern California.

It doesn't take an expert to identify the potential dangers and risks that dozens of undetectable, unidentified six-foot or larger drones pose to national security. Yet, our government's response has been one of unimaginable incompetence, leaving us to speculate on the origin and intention of these drones and wonder in astonishment at the government's ineptitude. Here are three examples of the government's lackluster response to the mystery drones:

Iranian Mothership and Missing Nuclear Warheads

After several weeks of hubbub, New Jersey Representative, Jeff Van Drew gave an interview on Fox News where he claimed that the drones originated from an Iranian "mothership" off the East Coast of the United States. This theory has since been disproven by satellite images, which show that all Iranian drone carriers are far from U.S. shores. Another theory suggests that drones may be equipped with sensors capable of detecting nuclear material and that they are looking for a nuclear warhead that recently went missing! With these apocalyptic theories gaining traction in the absence of any real answer from our government, one can't help but question the motive behind the silence.

Pentagon's Limp Wristed Response

In a recent press conference, national security spokesman John Kirby responded to reporters demanding answers about the government's lack of transparency, which has caused increasing public anxiety. He insisted that the drones did not pose a threat and were not assets of a foreign power, such as from Iran or China--even though he is still uncertain about their identity and origin. He also claimed that many of the sightings were simply misidentifications of normal aircraft.

This lackluster answer has only further inflamed national anxieties and raised even more questions. If the government is unsure of the identity of the drones, how do they know if they are a threat or if they aren't foreign assets? If they aren't foreign, does that mean they are U.S. assets? If so, why not just say so?

The Pentagon has also stated that they are leaving it up to local law enforcement to spearhead the investigation after concluding that these drones pose no threat to any military installation. This has left many feeling like the federal government has turned a blind eye to a serious issue that many Americans are very concerned about.

Where's Pete Buttigieg?

We are in the closing weeks of the Biden administration, and with the finish line in sight, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg probably figured nothing else could go wrong on his watch—but boy was he wrong. As Secretary of Transportation, Buttigieg is in charge of the FAA, the agency responsible for managing all air traffic across the nation. One would think that mysterious, 6-foot-long, seemingly intractable drones are invisible on radar and flying above major cities would pose a serious threat to the myriad of legal aircraft that traverse our skies. Yet, Buttigieg has been silent on the issue, adding another failure to his resume which includes: malfunctioning airplanes, the train derailment in Ohio, and the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse, just to name a few.

Glenn: How Alvin Bragg turned hero Daniel Penny into a villain

Michael M. Santiago / Staff | Getty Images

We cannot allow corrupt institutions to punish those who act to protect life and liberty.

America no longer has a single, shared understanding of justice. Two Americas now exist, each applying justice differently depending on who you are and where you live. One America, ruled by common sense and individual courage, praises heroes who stand up to protect others. The other, driven by political agendas and corrupted institutions, punishes those same heroes for daring to act.

This stark division couldn’t be clearer than in the case of Daniel Penny, the Marine whose trial in New York City this week drew strong reactions from both sides across the divided line of justice.

If we let this slide, we accept a world in which heroes are treated as criminals and the law is a weapon for ideological warfare.

Penny was on a subway train last year when Jordan Neely — a man suffering from severe mental illness and reportedly high on drugs — began threatening passengers, saying, “I’m going to kill you all.” The fear on that subway car was palpable, but nobody moved. Nobody, that is, until Penny did what needed to be done. He took action to protect innocent lives.

In the America many of us used to believe in, Penny’s response would be heralded as heroic. His actions mirrored the courage of Todd Beamer on Flight 93, who, on September 11, 2001, rallied others with the words, “Let’s roll,” to prevent further tragedy. But in New York, courage doesn’t seem to count anymore. There, the system turns heroes into villains.

Penny subdued Neely using a chokehold, intending only to restrain him, not kill him. Tragically, Neely died. Penny, filled with remorse, told the police he never meant to hurt anyone. Yet, instead of being recognized for protecting others from a clear and present threat, Penny stood trial for criminally negligent homicide.

In Alvin Bragg’s New York, justice bends to ideology. The Manhattan district attorney has made a career of weaponizing the law, selectively prosecuting those who don’t fit his narrative. He’s the same prosecutor who twisted legal precedent to go after Donald Trump on business charges no one had ever faced before. Then, he turned his sights on Daniel Penny.

A jury may have acquitted Penny, but what happened in New York City this week isn’t justice. When the rule of law changes depending on the defendant’s identity or the prosecutor's political motives, we’re no longer living in a free country. We’re living in a state where justice is a game, and ordinary Americans are the pawns.

The system failed Jordan Neely

It’s worth asking: Where were activists like Alvin Bragg when Neely was suffering on the streets? Jordan Neely was a tragic figure — a man with a long history of mental illness and over 40 arrests, including violent assaults. The system failed him long before he stepped onto that subway train. Yet rather than confront that uncomfortable truth, Bragg’s office decided to target the man who stepped in to prevent a tragedy.

This isn’t about justice. It’s about power. It’s about advancing a narrative where race and identity matter more than truth and common sense.

It’s time to demand change

The Daniel Penny case — and others like it — is a wake-up call. We cannot allow corrupt institutions to punish those who act to protect life and liberty. Americans must demand an end to politically driven prosecutions, hold DAs like Alvin Bragg accountable, and stand up for the principle that true justice is blind, consistent, and fair.

If we let this slide, we accept a world in which heroes are treated as criminals and the law is a weapon for ideological warfare. It’s time to choose which America we want to live in.

CEO Brian Thompson's killer reveals COWARDICE of the far-left death cult

Jeff Swensen / Stringer | Getty Images

Early on the chilly morning of Wednesday, December 4th, Brian Thompson, CEO of health insurance giant, UnitedHealthcare, was walking through Midtown Manhattan on his way to a company conference. Suddenly, a masked and hooded figure silently allegedly stepped onto the sidewalk behind Thompson, drew a 3-D printed, silenced pistol, and without warning fired multiple shots into Thompson's back before fleeing the scene on an electric bicycle. After a multiple-day manhunt, a 26-year-old lead suspect was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania after being recognized by an employee.

This was not "vigilante justice." This was cold-blooded murder.

As horrific as the murder of a husband and father in broad daylight in the center of New York City is, the story only gets worse. Even before the murder suspect was arrested, left-wing extremists were already taking to X to call him a "hero" and a "vigilante" who "took matters into his own hands." Even the mainstream media joined in on the glorification, as Glenn pointed out on air recently, going out of the way to show how physically attractive the murder suspect was. This wave of revolting and nihilistic fanfare came in response to the findings of online investigators who surmised the murder suspect's motives to retaliate against healthcare companies for corruption and denied coverage. The murder suspect supposedly underwent a major back surgery that left him with back pain, and some of his internet fans apparently viewed his murder of Thompson as retribution for the mistreatment that he and many other Americans have suffered from healthcare companies.

The murder suspect and his lackeys don't seem to understand that, other than depriving two children of their father right before Christmas, he accomplished nothing.

The murder suspect failed to achieve his goal because he was too cowardly to try.

If the murder suspect's goals were truly to "right the wrongs" of the U.S. healthcare system, he had every tool available to him to do so in a constructive and meaningful manner. He came from a wealthy and prominent family in the Baltimore area, became the valedictorian at a prestigious all-boys prep school, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a master's in engineering. Clearly, the murder suspect was intelligent and capable, and if he had put his talent into creating solutions for the healthcare industry, who knows what he could have accomplished?

This is the kind of behavior the far-left idolizes, like communists on college campuses who wear shirts that celebrate the brutal Cuban warlord, Che Guevara. Merchandise celebrating the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect is already available, including shirts, hoodies, mugs, and even Christmas ornaments. Will they be sporting his face on their T-shirts too?

This macabre behavior does not breed creation, achievement, success, or life. It only brings death and risks more Americans falling into this dangerous paradigm. But we still have a chance to choose life. We just have to wake up and take it.
