[Christian Nationalism ## Much-Hyped ‘Rededication’ of U.S. to God Can’t Draw Trump Off the Golf Course

President Trump called for an event "rededicating" America to God, but he couldn't be bothered to show up for it.

*Commentary

Trump administration officials and Christian nationalist leaders hyped Sunday’s event to “rededicate America as one nation under God” as a historic moment and turning point for the nation, but President Donald Trump skipped it to go golfing.

The same was true for the Saturday evening worship gathering organized by musician and MAGA activist Sean Feucht on the grounds of the Washington Monument; while his followers gathered, Trump went golfing.

The snub was particularly noteworthy because Trump owes his election victories to the overwhelming support he got from conservative Christian voters, thanks in part to religious-right figures telling their audiences over and over again that Trump was anointed by God to lead and save America.

Religious-right figures who helped promote the event made a big deal out of the spiritual importance of Trump as president calling for the nation’s rededication to God. Dominionist anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ activist Lou Engle has organized many prayer events over the years that drew much bigger crowds, but he said that this one was special: “This solemn assembly is different than any other solemn assembly, for the president of the United States has called this day.”

But the president couldn’t even be bothered to make a video greeting for this “historic” moment like Vice President J.D. Vance did. Instead, organizers played a video of Trump reading a scripture passage from a religious-right organized Bible-reading marathon event a few weeks ago. Engle added that when Trump read that passage, “he opened a door for the greatest awakening America has ever seen.” He called it “a hinge of history moment.”

If Trump cared enough to think that a gathering of “prophetic” leaders might call him out the way Old Testament prophets called out unjust political leaders, he needn’t have worried. None of the speakers calling for personal and national repentance suggested that Trump should repent for his cruelty or corruption. As the Religion News Service noted, neither Sen. Tim Scott nor religious-right activist Alevda King, who spoke about the Black church’s central role in the Civil Rights Movement, mentioned the current MAGA assault on the Voting Rights Act.

Even White House Faith Office Director Paula White didn’t attend in person, sending a short video.

:{:{Ben Carson, who was secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump administration and is now National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the Department of Agriculture, did show up in person. He was one of a few speakers who talked about the need for national unity. There are “forces” that want Americans to think they are one another’s enemies, Carson said. “We are not enemies.” He did not acknowledge Trump’s central role in creating bitter divisions or his ongoing demonization of his political opponents as traitors—or for that matter his religious-right backers’ portrayal of Trump opponents as demonic.}:

And if the organizers of the event were really interested in promoting national unity, or transcending politics as House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed, they would have created an interfaith event that celebrated America’s exceptional religious liberty and religious pluralism. Instead they created an event overwhelmingly dominated by MAGA Christians.}:

MAGA pastor Franklin Graham delivered a video diatribe about the moral state of the country, quoting scriptural warnings about people being lovers of money, arrogant, abusive, heartless, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, and more. While Graham said this list could apply to America today, he ignored the obvious fact that all those traits apply to the president he unwaveringly promotes.

Samuel Rodriguez, a MAGA pastor, New Apostolic Reformation figure, and head of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, gave an opening prayer. He spoke for about four minutes, calling for love and justice but failing to utter a single word about the immigrants and other people in their communities who have been terrorized by the Trump administration’s brutal mass deportation efforts. So much for prophets speaking truth to power.

MAGA pundit Eric Metaxas used his time on the platform at the Sunday rally and the Saturday worship service to promote his new book about the American revolution.

At Feucht’s worship on Saturday, Metaxas claimed that every single one of the founding fathers understood that the national narrative of the revolution was, “We are re-establishing the Sinai covenant.” That kind of claim doesn’t bode well for the credibility of his book, but then, there wasn’tmuch hope for that anyway.

On Sunday, Metaxas said God’s hand had guided American leaders beginning with George Washington. After talking about the British burning the White House during the War of 1812, he added jokingly, “It’s hard to believe it that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand. It’s extraordinary. We only had to wait 200 years.”

The actual “prayer of rededication” was delivered by Speaker Johnson, who invoked God’s support for the MAGA war on wokeness and truth-telling history:

In recent years we’ve seen sinister ideologies sow confusion and discord among our people. We’ve witnessed attacks on our history, on our heroes, and the cherished moral and spiritual identity of this nation. These forces insist to the young and impressionable that our story, the American story, is one of oppression and hypocrisy and failure, and that this story can only be understood through the lens of our sins. Father, we reject that. We rebuke it in your name. … We turn to you once again to save us from these afflictions, to deliver us from the forces of evil, oppression, injustice, and tyranny both within our borders and beyond our shores.

In asking for deliverance from oppression and injustice, Johnson was apparently not thinking of the authoritarian abuses of power that mark the Trump administration, because his only mention of Trump was to pray that God would “continue to bless our president with the wisdom, prudence, and strength to govern our nation in accordance with your will.”

Neither the smaller-than-expected attendance nor Trump’s apparent disinterest in the “rededication” ceremony mean that the rest of us should ignore that the increasingly aggressive Christian nationalism of the administration and the MAGA movement threatens Americans’ religious freedom and the rights of people seen as undeserving by right-wing Christian nationalists.

And the public may never know who their money was spent on.

Nine connected Polymarket accounts have raked in more than $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. military actions in what digital detectives from the data analytics firm Bubblemaps have identified as a potentially egregious case of insider trading.

Speakers cast America as ‘morally rotten’ and sinful while embracing the ‘Christian nationalist’ label.

President Donald Trump's free eight-hour Rededicate 250 prayer event held at the National Mall in D.C. Sunday drew a notably sparse crowd, with Reuters photos capturing numerous empty seats.

The ancestors of today’s Christian nationalists weren’t the leaders of Christian America — they were the heretics.

The Christian worship performance scheduled for the National Mall is a religious show.

Mike Johnson Says ‘Rededicate 250’ Event ‘Transcends Politics’; So Why Are All the Speakers MAGA Christians?

A letter from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson promoting this weekend’s Christian nationalist ceremony to “rededicate” America to God was sent out by Freedom 250 Thursday evening.

In the email from Freedom 250, which President Donald Trump set up to wrest control of the national celebrations from the bipartisan and congressionally authorized America 250to promote himself and MAGA ideology, Johnson called Sunday’s day-long event “a unique moment for believers" and “a call for unity, repentance, and hope, and one that truly transcends politics.”

That is classic Trumpian gaslighting.

First of all, an event seeking to unify the actually country might in some way recognize the religious pluralism that is an essential part of what makes America exceptional, along with our Constitution’s protections of religious freedom and prohibitions on government-established religion or religious tests for public office.

Instead, every speaker listed in the schedule sent out by Freedom 250 is a Christian; most are evangelical and Pentecostal Trump boosters, along with a couple of right-wing Catholics and other denominations represented. Earlier speaker lists included a rabbi, perhaps as “Judeo-Christian” window-dressing, but he was not included in Thursday’s Freedom 250 email.

It’s a bad joke for Johnson to claim that Sunday’s event “transcends politics,” given that every speaker listed in the Freedom 250 email is a vocal supporter of President Trump, many of them on record declaring him to be anointed by God and some, like White House Faith Office Director Paula White, claiming that Trump’s opponents are enemies of God or demonic agents of Satan.

In reality, this is another opportunity for Trump to posture as a defender of the faith and bask in the adoration of his most loyal supporters at a time when his public support has hit record lows. And it is an opportunity for Christian nationalists to continue to send the false and exclusionary message that the only “real” Americans are the right kind of Christians, at a time when Christian-right and MAGA officials are trying to claim that Muslims and other non-Christians do not deserve the protection of the First Amendment.

The “moment of rededication” will be led by Johnson, along with former Archbishop of New York City Timothy Dolan, MAGA Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, and dominionist New Apostolic Reformation figure Lou Engle. Engle is a longtime anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ activist who led prayers that God would knock off Supreme Court justices to create vacancies for Trump to fill. In an Engle teaching guide called “The Keys to Dominion,” he preached:

“The church’s vocation is to rule history with God…The same authority that has been given to Christ Jesus for overwhelming conquering and dominion has been given to the saints of the most high….We’re God’s rulers upon the earth…We will govern over kings and judges will have to submit…We’re called to rule! To change history! To be co-regents with God!”

Christians, secularists, and other Americans who reject the MAGA movement’s increasingly aggressiveChristian nationalism are speaking up in opposition to the “rededication.” This week, the Interfaith Alliance projected messages supporting religious freedom for all on the walls of the National Gallery of Art.

The search came as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.

The president can be seen in video giving the middle finger.

Alveda King wants employees of the U.S. Department of Labor to see themselves as doing God’s work. The rightwing anti-abortion activist and niece of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. added during the second monthly DoL prayer service that workers shouldn’t complain, and she criticized people who aren’t religious.

Dominionist ‘Courage Tour’ Heads to Pennsylvania in Bid to Put Unleashed Trump in Power | Right Wing Watch

The Courage Tour, organized by Trump-promoting dominionists Lance Wallnau and Mario Murillo, and co-sponsored by the MAGA movement organization America First Policy Institute, rolls into Pennsylvania this week on its tour of 19 swing counties that could decide the outcome of the presidential election. The event will be held Friday night and all day Saturday in Monroeville, which is located east of Pittsburgh.

Scholar Matthew Taylor, who attended a Wisconsin stop, called the tour “the most targeted and tactical voter mobilization effort done by Christian nationalists ever,” adding that “they’re doing it hand in glove in many ways with the Trump campaign and with the apparatus of the Trump campaign through an organization like AFPI.”

Indeed, the Courage Tour exemplifies the de facto merger between the MAGA movement and dominionist Christian nationalists. AFPI, a “think tank” organized by and filled with former Trump administration officials, is an active participant in Project 2025, another example of the shared authoritarian goals of Trumpworld and the Christian nationalists who helped put Trump in power in 2016 as part of their long-term plan to take “dominion” over every sphere of influence in society. Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk has also supported the tour.

In 2023, AFPI President Brooke Rollins, a former Trump adviser who had been preparing his second-term agenda before he lost the 2020 election, held an America First Summit where she discussed AFPI’s Vision 2025, a preview of Project 2025’s plans for the aggressive use of government power to promote the far-right agenda. Rollins happily admitted that their “ideologically revolutionary” goal is to “seize control of the administrative state” as part of “an America First confrontation against anti-conservative institutions.” That echoed language used by the Heritage Foundation when it launched Project 2025 as a plan for the MAGA movement to “take the reins of government.”

The Courage Tour’s combination of tent revival-style religious rallies with political mobilization reflects the beliefs of New Apostolic Reformation figures like Wallnau and Murillo that spiritual revival will lead to political transformation of the country to bring it into alignment with their particular biblical worldview. Wallnau has said the tour’s purpose is to break “demonic strongholds” that have supposedly kept Republicans from winning elections, and to prepare Christians to rule and reign after Christ’s return by training them to “occupy territory now.” In other words, the Courage Tour is an example of NAR “spiritual warfare” in pursuit of earthly power—for Trump and for themselves.

Right Wing Watch reported that when the tour stopped in Wisconsin in July, the leader of a group called The Lion of Judah urged people to sign up to serve as election workers so that they could be in effect a “Trojan Horse” for the Christian nationalist political movement. At an earlier stop in Michigan, Christian nationalist political operative David Barton spread false Christian nationalist history.

Researcher Jenny Cohn has pointed out that Rob Pacienza, senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida—a longtime center of Christian-right political organizing—is a senior fellow in the Center for the American Dream at AFPI. This Wednesday, Sept. 25, Pacienza will kick off 40 days of prayer leading up to the election with an online event with Courage Tour speaker Alveda King.}:

Pacienza’s project comes with a daily prayer guide that includes prayers for policies protecting life “from conception until natural death” and “restoration” of marriage being limited to one man and one woman. It includes a prayer that “Christians would use the power we have as citizens to rein in big government so that the State never becomes our Master.” It also urges people to pray that God would “remove those from office who oppose Him” and “cause chaos and confusion among groups who oppose Him and His people so that their plans are thwarted.”}:

kutti PR kanye ~ Ruby trump

kutti camp mgr for angela Stanton-King,who ran unopposed to become the Republican candidate in Georgia’s 5th Congressional District, responded to the announcement that Sen. Kamala Harris will be Joe Biden’s running mate with a series of snide and bigoted tweets.

Stanton-King is seeking the House seat previously held by the late Rep. John Lewis and has claimed, “God sent me.” Stanton-King is a zealous supporter of President Donald Trump, who recently retweeted two of Stanton-King’s posts.

Stanton-King took a swipe at Harris’s husband, family and heritage, an example of the kind of “she’s not really Black” birtherism​ that has been directed at Harris by some of her critics. (Harris is the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica.)

[twt]

stanton-King, who is not likely to win in her deep blue district, has a pattern of attention-seeking through graceless tweets. While millions of Americans mourned the passing of civil rights icon Lewis, she tweeted, “Pass the torch, don’t die with it in your hand."

[twt]

like her mentor, religious-right activist Alveda King, Stanton-King is vehemently anti-choice. She has repeatedly smeared the LGBTQ movement as a threat to children. And she has been identified by Media Matters for America and the New York Times as among dozens of supporters of dangerous QAnon conspiracy theories running for Congress this year. In July, Stanton-King got a visibility boost in the form of a softball interview on One America News Network, the Trump administration’s favored propaganda outlet.

Stanton-King, who calls Alveda King her godmother, was known as Angela Stanton when she was imprisoned for her role in a car-theft ring in 2004, when she was embroiled in a legal battle with a cast member of“The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” when she appeared in the BET reality show “From the Bottom Up” in 2018, and when she was granted a pardon earlier this year by President Trump. Under the name Angela Stanton, she published a memoir in 2012 titled “Lies of a Real Housewife,” which she later renamed “Life of a Real Housewife.” She founded a nonprofit, the American King Foundation, which works on criminal justice reform.She seems to have begun using the King name, surely a political asset in the Atlanta area, sometime last year. Her Twitter handle remains @theangiestanton.

Anti-choice Republican reality TV star leverages Trump pardon in attempt to unseat John Lewis

Written by Jessica Sutherland / Daily Kos March 8, 2020

A rabid anti-choicer and vanity press publisher has entered the political fray just weeks after being pardoned by Donald Trump for her role in a car theft ring. In a move that’s certain to get her disinvited to every cookout ever, Angela Stanton-King qualified Friday as the Republican challenger to the inimitable Rep. John Lewis in Georgia’s 5th District, which encompasses most of Atlanta, and is 60% African American. (Lewis also has a challenger from the far left.) Ten Republicans have tried and failed to end the civil rights icon’s 33 years of service in the U.S. House, but Stanton-King, a BET reality show cast member who first made headlines after self-publishing not one, but two books that bashed another reality star, seems convinced that she’s the one who will succeed.

In an interview with Atlanta’s 11Alive, Stanton-King didn’t hesitate to dismiss the lifelong fight of Lewis, a bonafide national treasure. “With all respect to Congressman Lewis, when I think about him, I always have that image in my mind when he was on the Selma Bridge,” Trump’s newest black friend said, seemingly unaware that Lewis had commemorated the 55th anniversary of the historic “Bloody Sunday” bridge crossing—which left him with a cracked skull—in Alabama just five days earlier, and that the actual anniversary was hours away.

“The truth of the matter is,” she rambled on, purporting to speak for all black people with her attempt to force the vocal Trump opponent into retirement, “with all that he has given towards the fight for civil rights—which we greatly appreciate—these are no longer the days of marching over the Selma Bridge.”

So who is this woman? Stanton-King is a three-time convicted felon who served about two years in prison; she was pardoned by Trump on Feb. 18, in the same batch of pardons that “cleared” corrupt former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. With a whoosh of the Sharpie fumes that accompany Trump’s signature, the author says, she became eligible to run for federal office, which she claims is a lifelong dream. (She was always eligible.)

Notably, Stanton-King, who was born in 1977, appears to have gone by just “Stanton” until very recently—as an author, as a reality star, in her shady self-publishing business that promises to make any writer’s bestseller dreams come true for a fee, and even her Twitter handle.

After 20 years of living and being treated like a felon for committing a non-violent crime that I have paid my dues for. I stand before you today w/ a clean slate and a restored name.

My name is Angela Stanton-King

& I will beat your ass about MY President! #Trump2020 ????

So where does the “King” come from? Apparently, she borrowed it from Alveda King, the self-described “pro-life warrior” and Trump Black Friend™ who “knows he’s not racist.” King is the niece of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a proud Republican. Alveda King, a member of Donald Trump’s Frederick Douglass Bicentennial Commission, has long been reviled for her “work” and surname-dropping within the conservative realm, which includes appearing on Fox News, doing a rally with Glenn Beck, and even bashing her aunt, the late, great Coretta Scott King.

In 1994, she released a letter condemning Coretta Scott King’s support for abortion and gay rights, saying it would bring “curses on your house and your people … cursing, vexation, rebuke in all that you put your hand to, sickness will come to you and your house, your bloodline will be cut off.”

[…]

Alveda is dismissive of her aunt, who died in 2006, saying, “I’ve got his DNA. She doesn’t, she didn’t … Therefore I know something about him. I’m made out of the same stuff.”

Stanton-King claims that she met King fifteen years ago, when, at the end of her rope, she stumbled into a shelter and King gave her a job. Depending on where you look or what’s convenient, Alveda King is described as the wannabe congresswoman’s “godmother,” her “adopted” mother, or her mentor. Here they are just last week, clinging to Trump like he’s a god.

I’m all for criminal justice reform, and respect both women’s work to that end, but in a news radio interview just a couple weeks before her pardon, Stanton-King went deep into her support for the current occupant of the White House; she asked black listeners to look past Trump’s obsession with the Central Park Five and focus on his anti-choice stance. “Every black baby aborted is a black vote aborted,”she told WAOK host Juandolyn Stokes on Feb. 3, before blaming black media for not promoting her books, insisting black Americans are being played by the press. “We’re being fueled by hate, and not looking at the facts,” she declared. In June 2019, Stanton-King also voiced support for Alveda King’s fight to “not only defund Planned Parenthood but to overturn Roe v. Wade.”  She told the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Friday that “It is time for war” on Democrats’ support of reproductive choice and abortion access.

She’s also wildly homophobic,as this tweet—just one day old as of this writing—makes clear.

Enough is Enough #LGBTQ pic.twitter.com/aVli0Xgc33

— Angela Stanton-King (@theangiestanton) March 6, 2020

She voices these stances even though (or perhaps because) one of her children is gay.

PSA: Calling me transphobic, homophobic or bringing up the fact that I have a grown Gay son will never silence me about the sexual perversion of #LGBTQ ?? or the blatant pedophilia that’s taking place before our eyes.

— Angela Stanton-King (@theangiestanton) March 4, 2020

BET, home to Stanton-King’s former reality show, pulled no punches with the headline “Black Trump Supporter Has The Audacity To Run For Congress Against Rep. John Lewis,” and questioned her sincerity: “It remains to be seen how genuine Angela Stanton-King’s motives are but her fate might be similar to Stacey Dash’s failed run for a congressional seat in a predominantly Black area in 2018,” the no-byline story notes.

Over on Twitter, one user predicted whose goals Stanton-King would serve.

Bloody Sunday inspired Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act.

Outrageously, this historic civil rights law has been gutted by the Supreme Court.

But this will not stand. Those who risked their lives in Selma showed when people stand together for justice, nothing is impossible. https://t.co/b5taJowZmN

This would-be constituent was not swayed in her support of Rep. Lewis.

I live in the 5th District! I am all for restorative justice just wished the efforts went to innocent people wrongly convicted. I’ll be voting for Congressman Lewis! Foolishness!

Other contenders, such as Parler and Frank (launched by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell) also vie for attention. The CNP has tried to develop its own “celebrity spokespersons” to cultivate specific target audiences, such as CNP member Charlie Kirk, who has his own YouTube channel and a radio program on Salem Media targeting youth.

ref townhall BS

this week, a panel of black community leaders hosted a webinar decrying the ‘For the People Act,' along with the deceitful and harmful rhetoric Democrats have used to characterize the bill.

Presented by FreedomWorks, one of the nation’s largest grassroots organizations advocating for conservative principals, the six-person discussion focused on the panelist’s own lived experience with the horrors of Jim Crow, while also condemning HR 1 and the left’s dishonest presentation of the bill.

HR 1, or the ‘For the People Act’, has been presented to the American public as a civil rights bill aimed toward expanding voting and preventing the passage of many so-called voter restriction laws that are currently being proposed and adopted in states across the nation.

However, as each panelist pointed out, HR 1 does the exact opposite of strengthening civil rights protections, with one panelist going as far as to dub the bill the “Screw the People Act.”

Whether it’s the abolishment of voter ID laws, the legalization of ballot harvesting, or any number of other damning criticisms, HR 1 is not the civil rights bill that Democrats are currently attempting to sell to the American people.

Reverend C.L. Bryant, FreedomWorks’ Senior Fellow and host of the virtual gathering, began the seminar by pushing back against the fictional narrative the left Is attempting to create.

“When we look at HR 1,” said the reverend, “When we look at the lies that have been told about this particular bill … the most alarming thing to us, at this point in time, is the type of rhetoric and the type of definitions that they are presenting, not only to us but they're presenting them to our young people. And the narrative of that rhetoric is so false, that it is blatant, and it must be challenged.”

Rev. Bryant explained the utter absurdity and inherent deception of President Biden comparing state laws aimed at improving election integrity with the horrors of the Jim Crow south.

“These are people who have lived through that difficult times in this country,” said Rev. Bryant, speaking of the panelist’s personal experience with Jim Crow.

“And may I just say,” continued Bryant, “that the hypocrisy of Joe Biden to throw around the words, Jim Crow, as though he owns the black vote. I must say to us as black people, and I must say to us as Americans. When we look back over Joe Biden's track record, we will see a mass deception that is going on”

Dr. Carol Swain, a former Vanderbilt professor, and experienced political commentator, further demonstrated the ‘mass deception’ being proliferated by Democrats, reflecting on her own experience with systemic racism and the fight to overcome its devastating effects.

“I was born into systemic racism,” said Dr. Swain, “and I watched it collapsed. I watched it collapse with the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The 1965 Voting Rights Act. The 1968 open Housing Act. And I can tell you that I saw opportunities created for people like me, and America was moving forward.”

Former Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory echoed Dr. Swain's understanding of what discrimination and Jim Crow actually looked like, saying, “There's nothing like Jim Crow going on now, except what [Biden] is doing himself…. Jim Crow was a rough time. I have the scars on my back, not on my soul, from those days. Almost 200 arrests and police stops during the 1950s and 1960s.”

The renowned attorney went on to lament the disservice being done to the civil rights leaders who fought and died for progress, saying, “Unfortunately, when the president uses this term, Jim Crow, he drags through the mud history…It’s demeaning to the sacrifices of all of those civil rights warriors to have this term brandished about now.”

Emphasizing the dishonesty of his motives, Pastor Stephan Broden answered the question as to why President Biden is invoking such a terrible time in America’s past.

“The idea of Jim Crow-ism that's being brought into the public square,” said Pastor Broden, “is an attempt on [the president’s] part and the Democratic Party to evoke an emotional response on the part of the black community.”

Pastor Broden continued on to detail the historical practices of Jim Crow and highlighted the stark contrast between “a collection of state and local statutes that legalized racial segregation” and elections laws like Georgia’s that “clean up the election process and makes it constitutional. Bringing more opportunity… to minorities to vote in America.”

Responding directly to HR 1 and the dismantling of the American right to free and fair elections, former U.S. House of Representants candidate Claston Bernard offered his own personal take on the responsibility and privilege of being an American citizen.

“As an immigrant,” said Bernard, “I go back to the 14th amendment… If you're born or naturalized you're an American. That's an honor bestowed on people who are coming through this country that they need to understand and respect.”

Bernard went on to stress the danger of HR 1’s demolishing of American traditions, saying, “if you're telling me as an immigrant your laws and your constitution means nothing, then what would you expect? You will have is the same problems that they’ve had in Europe by opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants who will not come here and assimilated.”

The last of the six panelists to speak, beloved activist Dr. Alveda King, emphasized her faith and the need to fight back against the threat of HR 1 and Biden’s occupation of the White House.

“We have not lost,” says Dr. King, “We have won the battle. It belongs to us. Occupation looks like a war because the crooks come back in and try to take it back. They will try to take it by force, we must stand firm… but we must be guided by the hand of the Lord in Unity.”

As of today, the 'For the People Act' has passed in the House of Representatives along party lines, 220 to 210. The Senate has received the legislation and it now awaits processing and deliberation in the higher chamber.

Alveda Celeste King (born January 22, 1951)[citation needed] is an American activist, author, and former state representative for the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives.

She is a niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and daughter of civil rights activist A. D. King and his wife, Naomi Barber King.She is a Fox News Channel contributor.She once served as a senior fellow at the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, a conservative Washington, D.C., think tank. She is a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives and the founder of Alveda King Ministries.

Childhood and family

Alveda King was born in Atlanta, Georgia. She was the first of five children of A. D. King, the younger brother of Martin Luther King Jr., and his wife Naomi (Barber) King. King says her mother wanted to abort her so she could continue college, but her grandfather was able to persuade her to keep her child.[3] When she was 12, her father became a leader of the Birmingham campaign while serving as pastor at the First Baptist Church of Ensley in Ensley near Birmingham, Alabama. Later that same year, King's house was bombed by opponents to the civil rights movement.

In 1969 her father, A. D. King, was found dead in the pool at his home.[4] The cause of death was listed as an accidental drowning.[5][6][7][8]

Martin Luther King Sr. wrote in his autobiography, "Alveda had been up the night before, she said, talking with her father and watching a television movie with him. He'd seemed unusually quiet . . . and not very interested in the film. But he had wanted to stay up and Alveda left him sitting in an easy chair, staring at the TV, when she went off to bed. . . . I had questions about A. D.'s death, and I still have them now. He was a good swimmer. Why did he drown? I don't know—I don't know that we will ever know what happened."[9]

Education

King studied journalism[10] and sociology as an undergraduate and received a Master of Arts degree in business management from Central Michigan University. She received an honorary doctorate from Saint Anselm College[11] and a Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Theology from Aidan University.

Public office

From 1979 to 1982, King represented the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives.[12] The district included Fulton County,[13] and King served as a Democrat.[14]

In 1984 King ran for the seat of Georgia's 5th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives.[15] King challenged incumbent Representative Wyche Fowler. Fowler's predecessor, Andrew Young, endorsed Hosea Williams, who also challenged Fowler in the primary; Williams was one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s most trusted lieutenants and perhaps best known for organizing and leading the first Selma March.[16]

Coretta Scott King did not endorse her niece. Young, who had given up the seat to serve as U.S. ambassador to the UN, and Williams approached King and asked her to end her campaign for the seat so that she could dedicate more time to her family. Young later apologized for what he called "some blatantly chauvinistic remarks."[17] She did not withdraw. With the Black vote split, Fowler defeated both King and Williams in the primary. It was the last time she ran for elected office. Since then, she has publicly stated "I've been a Democrat, and I've been a Republican. I've even considered being an independent. Today, I'm just a Christian."[18]

King is a member of the Frederick Douglass Bicentennial Commission, having been nominated to the position by President Donald Trump in 2018.[19]

King with President Donald Trump in 2018

In 1984, King supported the Reverend Jesse Jackson for president.[15]

In 2012,King was a supporter of Herman Cainfor president and defended him from sexual harassment claims, saying, "A woman knows a skirt-chaser" and "Herman Cain is no skirt-chaser."[20] She co-founded Women for Cain.[21]

King voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, stating, "I pray that all polar opposites learn to Agape Love, live, and work together as brothers and sisters—or perish as fools. While I voted for Mr. Trump, my confidence remains in God, for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Prayers for president-elect Trump, Congressman John Lewis, and everyone including leaders."[22]

For the 2020 presidential election, King was an advisory board member of Black Voices for Trump.[23]

Views and activism

Angela D. Dillard classifies King as among the most prominent black figures on the American religious right.[24]

Anti-abortion activism

King is an anti-abortion activist. She had two abortions before changing her views following the birth of one of her children and her becoming a born-again Christian in 1983.[25] King frames the issue as one of racial discrimination;[26] she has referred to abortion as "womb-lynching"[25] and accused Planned Parenthood of profiting from "aborting black babies."[27] King is director of the activist group Civil Rights for the Unborn and is director of Priests for Life's African American outreach.[27]

In 1996, she denounced her aunt Coretta Scott King for her support for abortion rights.[28]

On September 22, 2020, King appeared in Birmingham alongside political activists including Amie Beth Dickinson to present the Equality Proclamation. The document, signed on the 158th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation's signing, argued that the tactics and locations of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood were racially discriminatory. According to a document distributed by the group, King and the other signees believed that “the targeted practices of Alabama abortion providers are both discriminatory and disproportionately harmful to black mothers and their babies” and that a legal case could be made against abortion using the Tenth Amendment.[29]

2010 "Restoring Honor" rally

King spoke at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial in August 2010.[30][31] ABC News reported that in King's speech, she hoped that "white privilege will become human privilege and that America will soon repent of the sin of racism and return itself to honor."[28]

Opposition to same-sex marriage

King has spoken out against same-sex marriage. In 2010 she equated same-sex marriage to genocide at a rally in Atlanta, saying, "We don't want genocide. We don't want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage."[28] In a 2015 essay, she wrote that "life is a human and civil right, so is procreative marriage. . . . We must now go back to the beginning, starting with Genesis, and teach about God's plan for marriage."[32]

Personal life

King is African-American.[27] She has been married and divorced three times. Her first marriage was to Eddie Clifford Beal, her second marriage was to Jerry Ellis, and her third marriage was to Israel Tookes. She has six children.[11]

King has alleged that her novel, The Arab Heart, was plagiarized in the 1988 film Coming to America.[33]

Works

King has written the following books:

King produced the musical CD Let Freedom Ring in 2005.[34] She has appeared in film and television as both Alveda King[35] and Alveda King Beal.[35] The Human Experience, a 2010 documentary film, featured commentary from King. She co-produced the video "Latter Rain" (2005)[36] and co-executive-produced Pray for America (2015).[37][38]

King portrayed Gaylee's mother in "Fifteen Forever"[39] season 2, episode 19 of "In the Heat of the Night", original air date April 25, 1989[40].

Alliance Defense Fund To Launch Law School Aimed At Creating "Liberal Chaser" Attorneys

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wed, 09/28/2011 - 12:56pm

Religious Right leaders are coming together to form yet another law school to train future lawyers of the conservative movement.The right-wing Alliance Defense Fund is helping Louisiana College, a Southern Baptist institution,start the Paul Pressler School of Law, which will join Liberty University, Regent University and others in providing politicized training to the next generation of Religious Right lawyers.

Pressler’s ties to the Alliance Defense Fund will be similar to the Liberty University School of Law’s partnership with Liberty Counsel and the Regent University School of Law’s (originally Oral Roberts University’s Coburn School of Law) alliance with the American Center for Law and Justice. As Sarah Posner notes, such law schools intend to“teach the ‘biblical’ foundations of the law” and create “lawyers unafraid to inject their particular Christian beliefs, not only into the public square, but quite deliberately into legislation, policy, and jurisprudence.”

According to the National Law Journal, the new law school “is named for Paul Pressler III, a former Texas Court of Appeals judge who helped lead the conservative takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention during the 1970s.”

The founding dean of the Pressler law school, J. Michael Johnson, was previously senior counsel of the ADF and, according to his Townhall.com bio, has “provided legal representation to organizations such as Focus on the Family, Concerned Women for America, Toward Tradition, the American Family Association, and Coral Ridge Ministries, and numerous family policy councils and crisis pregnancy centers.” In 2005, Johnson won the “Faith, Family and Freedom” award from Family Research Council president Tony Perkinsfor his work defending the Louisiana Marriage Protection Amendment, which placed a ban on same-sex marriage in the state’s constitution.

Yesterday on **:{Today’s Issues}:**, Perkins, who is a member of Pressler’s **:{board of reference}:**, spoke to Johnson about the new law school. Johnson said the law school would be “not unlike what our colleagues are doing at the Liberty University School of Law and the Regent University School of Law.” Perkins said, “This law school’s not going to be pumping out ambulance chasers, this is going to be pumping out liberal chasers, I mean we’re gonna track them down, wherever they are and we’re gonna defeat them, and if we can’t defeat them in the policy realm we’re gonna defeat them in the courts.” He added, “This law school is gonna be pumping out God-fearing, American-loving, family-defending attorneys”:

The choice of Louisiana College is no surprise. The school claims it “seeks to view all areas of knowledge from a distinctively Christian perspective and integrate Biblical truth thoroughly with each academic discipline” and believes “academic freedom of a Christian professor is limited by the preeminence of Jesus Christ, the authoritative nature of the Holy Scriptures, and the mission of the institution.”

In 2008 the school barred members of the Christian LGBT group Soul Force from appearing on campus. In his decision to bar the group, the college’s president cited a fake James Madison quote propagated by David Barton, which states that the U.S. government was based on “the Ten Commandments.”

Now David Barton is serving on the board of the law school.

Along with Perkins and Barton, Religious Right leaders on the board include Alan Sears of the Alliance Defense Fund, Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, Michael Farris of the Home School Legal Defense Association,Alveda King of Priests for Life, Religious Right luminary Tim LaHaye and his wife Beverly LaHaye of Concerned Women for America, Kelly Shackleford of the Liberty Institute and Reagan’s Attorney GeneralEdwin Meese. Republican politicians including Reps. Rodney Alexander and John Fleming, former congressman Bob McEwen, and senatorial candidate and Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz are also on the board.

...a Marist Poll published on Wednesday shows that Biden has lost considerable support among Black voters in Pennsylvania, a state he narrowly won in 2020. He had won the support of most Black voters in 2020, with 92 percent voting for him and just 7 percent choosing Trump. In Wednesday's survey, 68 percent of Black voters said they were supporting Biden, or leaning towards him, in November's election, while 23 percent said they were backing Trump. The poll was conducted between June 3 through June 6 among 1,277 Pennsylvania adults.

Among Black registered voters, Biden led Trump 57 to 12 percent in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in May, with 16 percent saying they aren't sure who they will vote for, 8 percent saying some other candidate and 7 percent saying they won't vote at all.

The Biden campaign released a statement Saturday regarding Trump's new Black voter outreach, saying the coalition is an "eleventh hour attempt" and "isn't fooling anyone."

"Black voters sent Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House in 2020, and they're ready to make Donald Trump a two-time loser in 2024," the statement read.

On Monday, the White House marked Juneteenth early with a concert on the South Lawn. "Black history is American history," Biden told the crowd. "That's why [Vice President] Kamala [Harris] and I and our administration will always uplift it and protect it."

The Trump campaign provided the following list of people in the "Black Americans for Trump" coalition:
