United States House Republicans have asked Hunter Biden to testify during an open hearing on March 20th.

On Wednesday, the panel released a statement asking President Joe Biden’s controversial son Hunter to testify in an open hearing on March 20th as it continues its impeachment probe of his father.

James Comer (R-K.Y.) invited Hunter along with Tony Bobulinski, Devon Archer, and Jason Galanis to testify at the hearing. 

As part of the impeachment probe, all four of them have given private testimonies. However, Comer stated that the upcoming hearing will “examine inconsistencies among the witnesses’ testimonies in order to get the truth for the American people.”

“Evidence obtained in the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry reveals Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family cashing in on the Biden name,” Comer said in a statement Wednesday. “Multiple witnesses have testified Joe Biden allowed his family to sell him as ‘the brand’ around the world to enrich the Biden family. Joe Biden met with nearly all of his son’s foreign business associates; attended dinners with foreign oligarchs who collectively funneled his son millions of dollars; spoke on speakerphone with his son’s foreign associates, telling those who did business with his son to be ‘good to my boy’; and had coffee with his son’s Chinese business associate.” 

He continued, explaining that Joe Biden’s “pay-to-play scheme is corrupt and Americans demand accountability.”

“During our deposition and interview phase of the investigation, Hunter Biden confirmed evidence about Joe Biden’s involvement, yet his testimony conflicts with other witnesses’ testimonies,” Comer continued. “Given the (president’s) son’s repeated calls for a public hearing, I fully expect Hunter Biden to appear for a scheduled Oversight Committee hearing on March 20, alongside Biden family business associates. The American people deserve the facts about the Biden family’s corrupt influence peddling and Oversight Republicans will work to ensure accountability and press for answers to inform legislative solutions to prevent this abuse of power.” 

Hunter has consistently insisted that his father was never involved and that he never benefited from his business ventures during the much-anticipated deposition last week before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees.

However, Hunter Biden did admit that he put his father on speakerphone with his foreign business associates and that he invited him to “drop by” certain business-related lunches.

There are two main stories fighting for control in the public square

Speaking into chaos

John, I know you're seeing it, the unprecedented chaos. I am too. People need leadership now more than ever, which is why this is a story worth sharing.

Our team was invited by Lifehouse Church in Townsend to speak into the chaos.

Dr. Erdvig, DFPC Board Member and Director of Biblical Worldview Education at Summit Ministries, presented the first of three sessions at Lifehouse, laying the foundation for how Christians should understand and engage with government. 

Help us bring this content into more churches! Make a tax-deductible gift here today.

There are two main stories fighting for control in the public square.

One says that humans have inherent value because they're made in God's image, and that God's authority is the source of what's true and what anchors our morality and justice.

This is the perspective, or worldview, that has resulted in our country being the most benevolent, where people have had the most opportunity to flourish for almost 2 1/2 centuries.

The other perspective is an agenda of death - it uses human experience [feelings] to determine right from wrong, even when those experiences are contradictory, or result in harm to other human beings. It's the religion of human secularism where one's authentic "Self" determines what is true and moral.

When we recognize the clash between these two perspectives, and the consequences of each, the conversation becomes much deeper than "politics," "parties," or "candidates."
Help us bring this content into more DE churches!

Can you see it? The Leftist (secular humanism) ideology has captured the narratives of our policymakers, media, and education system.

What happens when it captures our churches?

WARNING:

There's a "bible study" called "The After Party" making its way into churches across America. "The After Party" is funded by organizations that also support causes that are diametrically opposed to Scripture, such as the murder of the preborn or the distortion of God's design for marriage and sexuality. This should raise serious red flags!

Studies like "the After Party" seem to get some things right and sound good. However, the most important point is missing. When Christians do not lovingly proclaim the truth with clarity about the biblical story in the public square, the only story remaining is the one that brings death and destruction to society.

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:11

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, 'If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' John 8:31-32

So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Ephesians 4:14-16

Hamas-linked CAIR top dog: Muslims ‘willing to negotiate’ with Biden regime about Palestine, Yemen, and Kashmir

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/03/hamas-linked-cair-top-dog-muslims-willing-to-negotiate-with-biden-regime-about-palestine-yemen-and-kashmir; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is threatening to withhold Muslim votes from Old Joe and his fellow corruptocrats unless they fall into line and support the global jihad more wholeheartedly. And they’re falling into line. The Biden regime has already begun to betray Israel, and more is coming.

“CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad In Dearborn, Michigan: No Party Should Take Muslim-American Voters For Granted; We Invite President Biden To Negotiate With Us On Changing His Policies On Palestine, Yemen, Kashmir,” MEMRI, February 26, 2024:

Source: Online Platforms – “American Moslem Society (Masjid Dearborn) on YouTube”
Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR the Council on American-Islamic Relations spoke at the American Moslem Society (Masjid Dearborn) on February 25, 2024, ahead of the Democratic presidential primary elections in Michigan. He urged his audience to vote “uncommitted” in the primaries in order to send the message to Biden that Muslims will never vote for him. He said that Muslim voters should not be taken for granted by any political party, and he emphasized that the political parties should also focus on Muslim interests.

Awad said that Muslim Americans are willing to negotiate with President Biden, his administration, or his campaign on changing their policies towards Palestine, Yemen, and other issues, such as Kashmir. He said that the “Zionist lobby” has been able to influence American lawmakers to pass resolutions benefiting Israel. Awad explained that the reason for this “moral and political corruption” is that institutions have been able to “buy the loyalty” of these lawmakers. He continued to suggest that instead of American Muslims spending money on humanitarian aid, they should spend money on “those who make political decision here,” and avoid the destruction caused by America altogether. The talk was streamed live on the mosque’s YouTube channel.

Nihad Awad: “Do the upcoming elections affect what is happening in Gaza? The answer is a million percent “yes,’ because what is happening in Gaza now is happening with the consent, arming, support, justification, and protection of the U.S. administration, the administration of President Biden. He is doing that because he thinks that since he is the president, he has the right to do so, because he is managing the affairs of the country. But who put him in the White House? The voters, including the Muslim voters in Michigan.

[…]

“Now the responsibility is yours once again, do you understand? The responsibility to express your indignation at this unjust president who is financing this crime is yours once again.

[…]

“The Zionist lobby, or the pro-Israel lobby, was able to influence the Congress and the Senate to pass resolutions that give Israel $14 billion, regardless of the massacres. What is the reason for this moral and political corruption? It is because some institutions have managed to amass money over the years, and buy the loyalty of those [lawmakers]. The solution is that we liberate their loyalty from political corruption.

[…]

“You can send a very powerful message next Tuesday by choosing the ‘uncommitted’ option. This is a powerful message – the Muslims in Michigan are saying to [Biden]: ‘We will never vote for you, you will not get our trust.’ What will happen if this message is received on Tuesday evening? I expect that either the President changes his policy towards the war in Gaza and demands a ceasefire, or there will be pressure on him from the Democratic Party to resign and nominate another candidate, because Muslims anywhere in the U.S. will not vote for him.

[…]

“Subsequently, if President Biden, his administration, or his campaign want to negotiate with us after receiving a clear message, we will negotiate with them about changing his policies on Palestine, Yemen, and many other issues. Gaza is only the spearhead. It is the start. It exposes (people’s views).

“But beyond Gaza, there is Yemen, there is the Arab and Islamic world, and there are Muslim minorities that are suffering in India and in Kashmir.

[…]

“No political party should take our votes for granted. At the end of the day, we are Muslim voters, not Democrat or Republican voters. We are focusing on our interests, and they should focus on our interests, too. This message is not intended for Biden alone, but to the Democratic Party in its entirety and to the Republican Party as well.

[…]

“Do you know how much Muslims in the U.S. spend on humanitarian aid? Give me a number. It is about $1.5 billion.

[…]

“In other words, the Muslims in America are sending their money to rebuild what the U.S. has destroyed. Why? Because we do not have enough political power here to prevent those unjust policies that bring about killing, destruction, and displacement. We, as Muslims here, are acting the other way around. Instead of preventing the catastrophe from happening, we wait until it happens, and then we deal with it over there. We do this time after time. But brothers, we spend $1.5 billion on what is called ‘the aftermath.’ Why don’t we spend just $50 million on those who make the political decisions here, and save the Islamic nation from the killing, death, and destruction?”

Mills, Gottlieb at CPAC: Gun Control is about Weakening America

An important segment of last weekend’s Conservative Action Political Conference, virtually overlooked by the media, featured U.S. Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) and Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), telling the audience that gun control is not about public safety, but about public control.

Mills, who was elected to office in 2022, came out swinging, referring to the text of the Second Amendment, which he said “cannot be clearer.”

“It doesn’t say ‘may.’ It says ‘shall not be infringed,’” Mills stressed.

He accused the administration of mounting a “multi-pronged attack” on our liberties. The administration is allowing open borders while at the same time pushing for more laws and regulations that will not be obeyed by criminals who are already violating existing laws. These restrictions prevent U.S. citizens from protecting themselves from criminal harm, he suggested.

A self-described constitutionalist, Mills—who served with the 82nd Airborne—told the audience, “This is not about policing, it’s about politics. They are trying to do everything they can to weaken the American people to make us dependent upon the administrative state.”

The 18-minute segment, headlined “Shooting from the Hip,” was moderated by Carl Higbie, host of Frontline, with Newsmax. Turning his attention to Gottlieb, who serves as executive vice president of SAF, Higbie inquired about legal actions challenging gun control laws in the wake of the 2022 Bruen ruling.

Right now, Gottlieb disclosed, SAF has a whopping 59 cases filed against gun control laws across the country, from one coast to the other. He pointed specifically to lawsuits against laws in Connecticut and New York, observing that some states have adopted gun laws as a means of “thumbing their nose at the Supreme Court.”

“I expected after Bruen they would pass laws that would be a little less restrictive…to see what they could get away with,” the veteran gun rights leader observed. “They didn’t do that. They doubled and tripled down and passed laws that are worse.”

He reminded the audience that days before the CPAC event, the Hawaii Supreme Court handed down a ruling in a gun case which said the “Aloha spirit” essentially outweighed the Second Amendment. The bizarre ruling is almost certain to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

SAF currently has two cases asking certiorari before the Supreme Court, in Maryland and Illinois. Both challenge bans on semi-auto rifles and so-called “high-capacity” magazines. The court has not announced yet whether it will take either case for review.

A few moments later, Gottlieb bristled as he commented about the left’s gun control crusade.

“It is so blatantly political, their agenda of socialism and controlling people’s lives,” he stated. “I mean, gun control isn’t about controlling guns; it’s about controlling people. That’s what their agenda really is. Facts, figures don’t matter to them. All they care about is taking away our rights.”

Higbie, who served as a Navy SEAL for nine years, had a solid grasp of the current political environment.

“You look at all of these mass shootings that are happening recently,” he noted. “Most of them happened in Joe Biden’s gun-free zones that he was the original architect of…The top ten most dangerous cities are Democratically-held cities, some in Republican states.”

Elsewhere during the discussion, Mills acknowledged he would like to abolish the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The remark drew applause from the audience.

All three men concurred that Democrat gun control efforts have resulted in more gun sales. Gottlieb noted how high-profile crimes, terrorist attacks, and other domestic factors invariably result in increased firearms sales.

Higbie observed, “Democrats are the greatest gun salesmen. Every time a Democrat comes into office, they actually help drive those numbers up.”

The discussion wrapped up with Mills and Gottlieb reminding the CPAC audience about media bias against reporting stories in which law-abiding citizens have used firearms, including semiautomatic rifles, in self-defense.

“They only report on mass shootings when it fits a certain narrative,” Mills said about the media, calling it “fake news.”

“What they want to do is to not vilify the actual criminal who is committing an act which is obviously illegal,” he said, “they want to criminalize our ability to hold arms.”

“It’s such a one-sided debate with the national media, which carries the agenda for the gun ban movement it’s actually disgusting,” Gottlieb said.

“This is about them controlling the message,” Mills added, “and we can’t allow that. We have to be louder. Utilize your platforms…We have to control the narrative. We have to control our ability to hold our own rights.”

Trump Rallies the 2A Faithful in Pennsylvania

Donald Trump speaks to NRA
The Stakes in 2020

On Friday, February 9, President Donald Trump took the stage at the NRA Presidential Forum held in Harrisburg, Penn., to the approving cheers of the thousands in attendance.  The Forum was one of the culminating events during the nine-day NRA Great American Outdoor Show—dubbed The World’s Largest Outdoor Show—an annual event that celebrates hunting, fishing, and outdoor traditions.  This year’s event saw the most attendees ever, with more than 200,000 people making their way through 650,000 square feet of exhibit area, viewing more than 1,000 exhibitors.

Trump started things off with the proclamation, “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your President.”  He added, “When I’m back in the Oval Office, no one will lay a finger on your firearms.”

The crowd roared its approval, and the 45th President of the United States went on for more than an hour making his case for being elected the 47th on November 5, 2024.

With thousands of NRA members, hunters, and other outdoor enthusiasts gathered, the former president delivered one of his trademark performances, transitioning smoothly from boilerplate campaign stump speech exposing the policy failures of the current administration to jabbing at the members of the media in attendance—yes, he used the term “Fake News”—to riffing on the myriad problems (cognitive issues, corruption allegations, historically low approval polls, etc.) confronting Joe Biden.

But what the vast majority of the crowd was there to hear was what Trump would do to defend our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  And they were not disappointed.

He spoke about Biden’s “non-stop war on gun makers, dealers, and sellers designed to put the entire industry out of business.”  If elected, Trump promised, “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated my first week; maybe my first day (in office).”

He said he would fire Steve Dettelbach, the anti-gun Biden appointee who is the current director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Under Dettelbach, the ATF has implemented a number of anti-gun policies (some of which are facing serious legal challenges), such as the new rule on pistol braces and efforts to create its own interpretation of the federal laws on firearm transfers.  Trump also referred to ATF policies that have been implemented that are being abused to shut down licensed gun dealers for minor paperwork errors.

To help show the difference between how different he and Biden are when it comes to the firearms industry, he reminded the crowd that he had made sure to designated dealers and manufacturers as “critical infrastructure” during the 2020 pandemic, so that they could remain in operation, even as some states with anti-gun governors and local authorities tried to force them closed.  Trump pledged to reverse ATF’s Draconian new regulations and policies, although the courts may take care of some before he gets into office if he is elected in November.

In addition, the former president said he would fire United States Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, another anti-gun Biden appointee, whose position can have a considerable impact on hunting and recreational shooting on public lands.  As a contrast, Trump pointed out that, while president, he opened up “millions of acres of public land” for recreational use.

When it comes to personal protection, Trump stated clearly, “You have a right to self-defense.”  He also noted that he would work to ensure national Right-to-Carry reciprocity is finally achieved, should he win in November.

The former president also referenced the landmark decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen; and it should always be remembered that three of the six justices who came down on the side of our right to self defense outside the home in that decision were appointed by Trump.  He even recounted how he, during an appearance at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis, Ind., officially announced he was pulling the United States out of the United Nation’s anti-Second Amendment Arms Trade Treaty.

You can watch his entire speech here, but for those interested in seeing the real thing in person, he promised to be at the 153rd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, Tex., which takes place this year on May 17-19.

GOP Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert’s eldest son was arrested on Tuesday and now faces 22 criminal charges, which includes five felonies, following a string of alleged thefts in the Centennial State. 

According to the Rifle Police Department, Tyler Boebert, 18, was handed five felony charges, which includes four for criminal possession of ID documents involving multiple victims, and one conspiracy to commit charge.  

The son of the Colorado Republican representative also faces misdemeanor charges of four first-degree criminal trespassing of an automobile with intent to commit a crime, four charges of identity theft, possession with intent to use, and two charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. 

Additionally, in 2022, Boebert’s son was given a “careless driving causing bodily injury” ticket after he flipped his father’s SUV into a Garfield County creek bed. 

The arrest of Tyler Boebert follows recent news headlines regarding a string of controversies that his mother Lauren has faced in the past year related to her ex-husband, Jayson Boebert. 

Lauren Boebert was granted a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband this month after she claimed that he allegedly threatened to harm her and entered the family’s home without permission. However, Jayson claimed that he only entered the home in order to clean it, preparing for the arrival of Boebert’s grandmother. He also claimed that his ex-wife only got the restraining order to “justify” her move to a new congressional district. 

The Colorado congresswoman switched to a district that is primarily Republican in December, avoiding another tough re-election bid. She previously won it by a slim margin against her Democrat challenger back in 2022. 

On Wednesday morning, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office listed Tyler Boebert as an inmate in the county jail with no bond amount or release date set.

The longest serving Senate leader in history, Mitch McConnell, is set to step down from his position in November.

McConnell (R-Ky.), announced the news on Wednesday afternoon in the well of the Senate. A place he first became acquainted to in 1985.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said in prepared remarks obtained by The Associated Press. “So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”

“As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate, I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work,” McConnell said in his prepared remarks. “A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe. It arrived today.”

While McConnell will be stepping down as the GOP leader, he plans to serve out his Senate term. It concludes in January 2027.
