The 1st & Most Important Thing President Trump Must Do Day 1 in Office
President Elect Trump’s “Contract With The American Voter: First 100 Day Plan” includes repealing Obamacare, implementing term-limits, banning federal employees becoming lobbyists and foreign lobbyists from raising money for American elections, lifting the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal, building the wall on the southern border, reducing personal and corporate taxes, cancelling Obama’s actions on immigration and guns, suspending immigration from “terror prone” nations including a temporary moratorium on Muslims, cancelling all federal funding to sanctuary cities and,commencing the removal of the more than two million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and withdrawing from NAFTA and TPP. And while this bold agenda is laudable on many levels and will go a long way in restoring law and order, checks and balances, economic prosperity, national security and American sovereignty, none of it, in my humble opinion, is as vital as restoring the right to life for all innocent human persons from conception to natural death and ending the Abortion Holocaust that has taken the lives of over 60,000,000 pre-born babies in our nation since 1973. The Holy Scriptures say that “God hates the shedding of innocent blood.” In order for America to “be great again” we must become good again. And I humbly submit that we as a nation cannot become good again unless and until we acknowledge that our government has failed to protect the most sacred right any human being possesses-their right to their own lives-and end the bloodshed. Many will assert that Mr. Trump has pledged to de-fund Planned Parenthood and appoint “pro-life judges.” As meritorious as both of these pledges may be, the truth is that Roe v Wadedoesn’t have to be “overturned” for the mass slaughter of the most defenseless and innocent among us to come to an end. Unconstitutional court opinions such as Roe are not and never have been the “law of the land.” The Dred Scottopinion concluded that banning slavery in any territory was a violation of the 5th Amendment because doing so supposedly denied property rights (of slave owners) without “due process” and has, to this day, not been “overturned” and nobody would argue that slavery is still “legal.” Similarly, we don’t have to wait years for any court to “overturn” Roefor child murder via abortion to come to an end in this country! Child murder via abortion was, is and will always be murder and no individual federal or state government possesses the legal, moral or Constitutional authority to alienate the inalienable right to life for any reason. The Founders and Framers were acutely aware that court opinions were not the “law of the land” and don’t supercede legitimately enacted laws, statutes and Constitutions.
“To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. …The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.” (Thomas Jefferson)
“…the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution. … [T]he judiciary … has no influence over either the sword or purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL…” (Alexander Hamilton)
“..if the policy of the government, upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased, to be their own rulers, having, to that extent, practically resigned their government, into the hands of that eminent tribunal.” (Abraham Lincoln)
My hope and prayer is that those 100% pro-life without exceptions Christians such a Senator Jeff Sessions, VP Elect Mike Pence and Governor Mike Huckabee would help educate President Elect Trump on the lie of Judicial Supremacy (i.e., that the legislative and executive branches must obey every court opinion no matter how immoral, illegal, wicked and unconstitutional) and strongly encourage Mr. Trump to restore the right to life for all innocent human persons as his 1st official act as president as Governor Huckabee pledged to do during the first Fox News Presidential Debate last year. It doesn’t matter how high the border fence or import tariffs are or how low tax rates are or how well negotiated our trade deals are or how strong our military is if we continue to permit the shedding of innocent blood. Child murder via abortion is the single greatest moral atrocity in our nation’s history. 60,000,000 pre-born babies have been murdered in cold blood with the full consent and funding of the government. 10 times those murdered in the Holocaust! It must END! If President Elect Trump has any hope of “making America great again,” he must, as his first official act, issue a presidential finding similar to, America’s Independent Party presidential candidate Tom Hoefling whose pledge read:
“All officers of government in this country, in every branch, at every level, have as the first obligation of their sacred oath the protection of all innocent lives within their jurisdiction and that as president he will keep his oath. Justice Blackmun, in Roe vs. Wade, admitted that “of course” the child in the womb is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, if they are a person. Since it is self-evident that they are a person, my first act as President, after having sworn the oath, will be to publish a presidential finding to that effect. My second act will be to ask for the resignation of anyone in the executive branch who will not act accordingly. My third act will be to order the closing of every abortion facility in the country, as per the explicit, imperative requirement of the Supreme Law of the Land. ‘No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.’ ‘No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’”
Of course, President Elect Trump will likely not take such bold action on his own. It will be the duty of individual Christians, Christian pastors and Christian pro-life and pro-family organizational leaders to come along side Mr. Trump and demand he fulfill his sworn oath to enforce the God given right to life for all innocent human persons from conception to natural death in every state that fails to do so (sadly the case in all 50 states) and END the Abortion Holocaust in America as his first official act as president! As my good friend Pastor Flip Benham, who founded Operation Rescue and baptized Norma McCorvey (“Jane Roe” in Roe v. Wade), has frequently stated, “abortion will only end when the church decides it should end.” He’s right. If not us, who? If not now, when?
“I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live“ —Deuteronomy 30:19

Why I’m Voting For Trump
Let’s cut to the chase. Our nation is in a code blue, moral and spiritual crisis. And, like it or not, Americans have only two viable choices for president. While I’m well aware that America cannot be made great again until the Church becomes great again, I am also mindful that, as a Christian, I possess a solemn moral obligation to choose the most righteous candidate possible for the office. And while I’m no fan of some of Mr. Trump’s past word choices, attributing moral equivalence to him and Hillary Clinton is utterly absurd. One of the candidates is a career business man who has risked his own wealth to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and opportunities for others. He is also the candidate who appears that he is not beholden to corporate interests or global organizations. His stated goal is to “make America great again.” He proposes to accomplish this goal by: protecting and defending our sovereign borders, rebuilding and strengthening our military, creating economic growth by lowering taxes and decreasing regulations, protecting and defending the inalienable right to life, and appointing conservative pro-life judges. On the other hand, the other candidate is a long-time admirer of Saul Alynsky, whose book “Rules for Radicals” was literally dedicated to Lucifer. This candidate is also a Margaret Sanger Award recipient and says, “I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision. I am really in awe of her, there are a lot of lessons we can learn from her life”. Furthermore, Hillary has committed numerous acts of treason as Secretary of State and she despises our military, vets, Evangelicals and Catholics, Israel and average “everyday working Americans” in general. She has also pledged, if elected, to continue to implement and expand upon the illegal, immoral and anti-Constitutional policies of the Obama Administration, and she vows to accomplish these things by: • increasing taxes and regulations. • appointing radical leftist judges in the mold of Ruth Bader-Ginsberg. • increasing immigration of “refugees” (Muslims) by 500%. • advancing the radical LGBTQ Rainbow Jihad Agenda. • entering into globalist military, trade, and environmental treaties that destroy American sovereignty, economic freedom, and individual liberty. • keeping infanticide via tax-funded abortion on demand “legal,” including partial birth abortion. • implementing “hate crimes” legislation that would criminalize Christianity and the Bible. • abolishing the Second Amendment via executive orders and gun confiscation. The distinctions between the candidates could not be any more stark. Hillary Clinton is a Democrat-Socialist globalist who dreams of a world without borders and whose own “Clinton Foundation” has literally raised over a quarter of a billion dollars from numerous Muslim nations. Many of these Muslim nations seek our nation’s destruction, to enslave women, and to prosecute, imprison and kill gays. She is not for us. She is against us. Donald Trump, with all his warts, is a successful business man and proud nationalist. He is also a man that the political and media globalist elites despise. He is clearly for us. That being said, while I admire many platforms upon which Mr. Trump stands – and the anti-establishment, anti-statist movement he has come to largely represent – I do wish his views were more developed in other areas. For example, even though Mr. Trump has claimed to be “pro-life” and that he will appoint “pro-life judges,” I don’t think based on his public statements, he understands that as chief law enforcement officer he would have the moral, legal and constitutional obligation to ignore/reject the illegitimate and legally null and void Roe v. Wade opinion. Conversely, a President Trump would also be required to enforce the God given right to life in all individual states that currently fail to do so. This move would be in accordance with the imperative requirements of the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Those amendments necessitate that no person can be deprived of their life by any state without “due process” and “equal protection” of the laws. Fortunately, however, many of Trump’s close supporters and allies, such as Governor Mike Huckabee, understand that the courts are not allowed to make law and that they aren’t the Supreme Being. To this end, during the primaries Governor Huckabee pledged to reject Roe, invoke the 5th and 14th Amendments, and end the Abortion Holocaust in America as his first official act as president.My hope is that Huckabee and others can influence President Trump to take similar action as president. Additionally, I hope Huckabee, and many others like him, can help guide Mr. Trump to better understand and ultimately reject Judicial Supremacy – the toxic liberal lie that the legislative and executive branches must obey the judicial branch no matter how wicked, immoral, illegal and unconstitutional their opinions may be. Barring any potential orchestrated “false flag” event prior to the election or swearing in ceremony, only one of the two candidates, Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Trump, will occupy the White House in 2017. The choice, as it has always been, is between two imperfect candidates. America is on life support. Electing Hillary Clinton will only ensure that the patient is taken off life support and dies a quick death. Electing Donald Trump would most likely keep the ventilator plugged in and give the patient (America) the best chance to heal and recover. I cannot in good conscience vote for a “3rd party” candidate. They simply are not viable in the general election. Nor can I merely “not vote at all.” Like it or not, both of those choices result, ultimately, in a vote for Hillary Clinton. I will vote for Donald Trump. And I will pray that the Lord uses this imperfect man to help restore the badly damaged foundations of justice, law, and civil order upon which our nation was founded – the same fundamentals upon which America has rested for over 300 years, even pre-dating our formation as an independent nation.

10 Things Your Children Need to Know for the 2016-2017 School Year (print and share w/your kids)
This list is not exhaustive and some are taken from my book “40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die: The Simple American Truths About Life, Family & Faith.” Print em out. Put em on your fridge and discuss them daily over breakfast with your kids and help inoculate them from the Leftist lies and propaganda so prevalent in much of our culture and society today. 1. You’re not a “global citizen.” If you were born in the United States of America or are a legal U.S. citizen, you are a United States citizen not bound by any other Constitution than the United States Constitution. 2. The climate is always “changing.” It’s called weather. The reason you don’t hear about “man made global warming” anymore is that it has been thoroughly de-bunked. The major reason the earth’s temperature heats/cools is due to solar activity. During periods of increased solar activity the earth warms and vice-versa. “Climate change” initiatives are really just efforts to institute higher taxes and regulations to control the people ultimately for the purpose of establishing a global New World Order. 3. There are only 2 types of humans God created. Men and women. Your sex (or gender) is determined by your chromosomal makeup. Males have XY and females have XX. There is no such thing as a “transgendered” person. A man who puts on lipstick and a wig has become a “cross dresser” but is still a man. Women who act/dress like men are still women. Boys should always use the men’s room and girls should always use the girl’s room. 4. Our nation was not founded by secularists. The original founders, the Pilgrims and Puritans, were God fearing people whose main desire was to live in a nation where they could freely worship Jesus Christ. While many of the Framers of the Constitution were not Christians, our nation was explicitly founded on Judeo-Christian values, beliefs and principles. To the extent America returns to those founding principles and beliefs will largely determine whether we can ever become “great again.” 5. Truth is not relative. God has defined all truth and apart from His Transcendent Divinely Revealed Word, everyone does what is right in their own eyes. Humans become their own gods. Man centered (humanistic) societies that have rejected God’s Word have been the most murderous and barbaric nations in the history of the world (Nazi Germany, Communist China/Russia, etc…) 6. “Social Justice” is another term for Socialism. And Socialism is always wrong because it is based on the belief that it is ok to covet, steal, and re-distribute other people’s “stuff” for the general benefit of the “community.” 7. God has defined, established and ordained marriage. It is the exclusive union of one man and one woman and the natural human family is the first, oldest, and most important form of government God ever created. No majority of judges, legislators or voters can re-define what God Himself has defined. All other types of “marriage” are legally null and void since they violate God’s definition. 8. Courts don’t make law. Courts can issue opinions on individual cases before it, but court opinions are only binding on the individual plaintiffs and defendants in the case. Only the people directly or via their elected representatives can make, alter or amend laws, statutes or Constitutions. Any law or court opinions contrary to God’s Law is no law at all. It is legally null and void and must be ignored and rejected by all civil magistrates at every branch and level of government. 9. There is only 1 race of people. The human race. People have different skin colors and come from different parts of the world but all humans are originally descended from the Original First Family (Adam and Eve.) Efforts to introduce race (“affirmative action,” “race based preferences,” “white privilege,” etc…) are merely efforts to divide and conquer. 10. There is only one way to heaven. Through faith alone, by God’s grace alone, in Christ alone. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father in heaven but through Me.” (John 14:6) Is He your Lord and Savior?
Common Words, Phrases & Terms The Left Has Twisted & Distorted That Christians & Conservatives Should Never Use (The “Dirty Dozen”)
Proverbs 12:6, “The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.” Hosea 6:5, “…I have slain them by the words of my mouth:” Psalms 12:6, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.”
In his book, “1984,” George Orwell warned that in the future words would be redefined and weaponized by the Left in their effort to establish a tyrannical dictatorship where government controlled and engineered group-think and consensus (called “newspeak” in the book) would replace individual thought and creativity. Despots and dictators have always known that those who control the meaning of words largely control the thoughts, attitudes, and behavior of society. In fact, the first sin ever committed resulted from God’s Word being twisted, distorted and manipulated when the Serpent (Satan) deceived Eve by making her question God’s clear and unambiguous command not to eat from the tree of Good and Evil. Here is a partial list of the most common words, terms and phrases that the Left has re-defined, twisted and distorted for the ultimate purpose of deceiving the masses and ultimately controlling them. Sadly, many self-professing Christians and conservatives frequently use many of these words and phrases and unwittingly perpetuate the deception the distortion of these words and phrases leads to. The purpose of this article is to list the most common words, terms and phrases as well as their real meanings in context with hopes that, in the future, Christians and conservatives use the proper words and terminology. Words, indeed, matter. May we all chose ours carefully. Here is what I refer to as the “Dirty Dozen” which is of course not an exhaustive list but the 12 I consider to be the most important to be aware of.
Supreme Court Right On Texas Abortion Law But For Wrong Reasons
We agree with the District Court that the surgical-center requirement, like the admitting-privileges requirement, provides few, if any, health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions, and constitutes an “undue burden” on their constitutional right to do so.
The majority opinion was correct. But for all the wrong reasons. The Texas law wasn’t unconstitutional because of the ludicrous requirement that baby butchers be properly credentialed by hospitals. The Texas law was unconstitutional because there is no Constitutional right to murder pre-born human persons at any stage of development since Roe v Wade is not the “law of the land” and never has been and allowing any type of abortion-related “procedure” violates the inalienable right to life for all innocent human persons from conception to natural death per the explicit and imperative requirements of the 5th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution which guarantees that no state shall violate “due process” and “equal protection of the laws” for any person without exception. No state possesses the authority to alienate inalienable rights. What is so sad is that so many self-described “constitutional conservatives” swallow and perpetuate the toxic liberal lie of Judicial Supremacy (i.e., that court opinions are the “law of the land” the very instant they are issued and must be obeyed, no matter how immoral, wicked or unconstitutional, by the other two superior branches.) And if you doubt the Founders originally designed the judiciary to be the “weakest of the 3 branches” read “Federalist 78” by Alexander Hamilton. The bottom line is that, ultimately, the Governor of Texas, Republican Greg Abbott, is the chief law enforcement officer of the state of Texas and is primarily responsible for ensuring that the Federal and Texas state Constitutions’ “equal protection” and “due process” guarantees be faithfully enforced and applied to every innocent human person in the state of Texas (no matter how tiny)…without exception! Babies are dying daily in Texas because Governor Abbott daily permits it (as do all 49 other state governors). We should expect immoral, illegal and anti-Constitutional opinions from the (majority) leftist Supreme Court. But is it too much to expect that self-professing “pro-life constitutional conservative Christians” such as Abbott actually abide by their oath and DO THEIR JOB especially when it comes to protecting and defending the most sacred right all human beings possess? The right to their own lives?

3 Questions for Trump
Introduction to my new book “40 Things to Teach Your Children Before You Die”
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States, where men were free.” —President Ronald W. Reagan
One of my greatest burdens and desires as a father is for my eight-year-old son to grow up honoring God with his life, knowing right from wrong, and acting on that knowledge. I am far more interested in his character than I am in which college he attends or his profession. I am sure that I am not alone. In fact, if you are reading these words, you too must possess that same burden and sense of obligation that I do, to pass on the same truths that have guided the best parts of your life to your children, so that they may know the truth, and that their lives will glorify God. During most of American history, when a biblical worldview prevailed, much of the information in this book was common knowledge, even among non-Christians. But we live in a day where “good has become evil and evil good,” where “everyone does what is right in his own eyes.” A time when quoting God’s Word in public can literally get you arrested for a “hate crime.” And that is precisely why I am writing this book—to arm you, the parent, with what I believe to be among the most important biblical truths that we can pass on to the next generation, the stuff that they are never going to learn in most schools, from the media, and sadly, in many churches. These are the types of things they must understand and apply if they have any hope of living a life of faith in an increasingly dark cultural and spiritual climate, the most important truths that I would share with my son if I were on my deathbed. My sincere hope and prayer is that Christian parents share this politically incorrect book with their children so that the next generation may be adequately prepared to defend biblical truth for the advancement of the Gospel and biblical truth in general—the only real antidote for what really ails America and the rest of the world.
