The Founders Meant to Keep Government Out of the Church, Not God Out of the Government
District of Columbia | September 28, 2021
The 4th of July makes us think of our independence and freedoms. But when our Founders came up with the First Amendment, were they trying to keep government free from religion? Or religion free from government? These days, the phrase “wall of separation between church and state” has come to mean keeping God or His believers from having a big effect on government and public life. But that’s far, far from what the Founding Fathers were thinking of when they were separating church and state…. (Excerpts from Faithwire)

Pelosi signals she won’t move $3.5T bill without Senate-House deal
District of Columbia | September 23, 2021
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has signaled to colleagues in both chambers that she will not put the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package on the House floor for a vote until it’s clear that it can also pass the 50-50 Senate. Some Democrats are calling for the House to move as soon as possible on the package, even if two key centrist votes in the Senate, Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), haven’t yet signed off on it. Both Manchin and Sinema say they won’t support a $3.5 trillion package but haven’t publicly said how much they’re willing to spend. Pelosi has no intention of replaying what happened in 2009, when Democrats last controlled Congress and the White House and moderate House Democrats took an extremely tough vote on sweeping climate change legislation only for the bill to never come to the Senate floor. Centrists Democrats paid the price the following year when Republicans picked up 63 seats in the 2010 midterm elections — and control of the House…. (Excerpts from The Hill)

Politics must not kill the Constitution
District of Columbia | September 20, 2021
ANALYSIS/OPINION. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in remarks to students at the University of Notre Dame, warned about the toppling of “our institutions” by those who seek short-term gratifications and partisan political whims, very often at the expense of the Constitution — very often because they care little for preserving the Constitution. Today’s vicious politics are killing the Constitution. What started as a slow decades-long project under progressive will and Democrat Party shifts to the left, and accelerated under the Barack Obama administration’s abuses — the turn from law and order and democratic-republic principles and to “I want this and I want this now!” pen-and-cell phone wailings — has now landed squarely in the lap of the Joe Biden White House as a great reset of the Constitution. The Democrats don’t even make any bones about being barely above Marxism now. The battle over health freedom alone proves that…. (Excerpts from the Washington Times)
