Fellow Christians, don’t cast your vote for this man. His behavior is beneath the office he seeks, but most importantly, reflects no fruits of the Spirit. Stand on principle. Put your faith in God, not in government power.

All I keep thinking about in all the cases are the jurors. Their lives are/will be in danger.
Everyone, elected or not, should encourage everyone they know or can influence to protect the safety of the jurors in each of Trump’s trials. No doxxing, no threats or intimidation. Let the constitutional system function as it should, come what may.

Abortion activists knew the ads were making a difference, so they had Google shut them down

Gov. Beshear ceded family values years ago. Among other attacks on Kentuckians’ most cherished values he ordered State Police to guard the entrances to churches, on Easter Sunday no less.
As Gov. Beshear prepares for what could be the most hotly contested election of the year, the first-term Democrat insisted on Wednesday that he would not cede so-called family values issues to his Republican opponent.

Even if Roe/Casey aren’t ultimately overturned we should provide pre-natal care & childcare for low-income mothers, make adoption exceedingly cheap & simple for biological families to choose. The church should encourage believers to foster (there are 8k kids in KY alone).

Believers — particularly those with broader reach — need to refute and rebuke these awful, un-Christlike, unscriptural, racist, bigoted garbage takes.
Charlie Kirk called compassion for migrants “one of the major moral failings of the American church” and mocked pastors who believe the Bible teaches to welcome migrants with love:
“Deportation can be a very loving thing. Go back to your country of origin.”

So the governor’s best response to 7700 March unemployment claims still pending is to make people from far flung districts, without money for food and diapers, much less gas, to make a 3+ hour trip to Frankfort to maybe get helped? Unreal.

You give employees $4K to help abort their child.
But you are NOT offering an equivalent benefit to moms who choose LIFE for their child.

One of the worst kinds of elected legislators. Merits of legislation don’t matter to them. People in office that function this way are a disgrace to the institutions they’ve promised to serve.

I’m shocked, shocked, the governor would decline to follow a law he didn’t like.

Now that abortion is stopped in Kentucky (& even if it wasn’t), we should substantially step up help for moms/families, especially those without means, to provide prenatal and postpartum care, adoption should be exceedingly easy and cheap, a child allowance would be helpful.
