I wrote a lot about the anti-Christian bias of the previous Democrat party administration. The Biden administration has a long record of anti-Christian prosecution: pre-dawn raiding the homes of pro-lifers, targeting Christian schools and organizations, labeling parents as “domestic terrorists”, ignoring religious exemptions to medical mandates, etc. But now there is a new sheriff in town. Let’s see.

Here’s the story from Daily Wire, by Leif Le Mahieu.

Here’s the brief overview:

Attorney General Pam Bondi opened up the first meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias on Tuesday by hearing stories about how the Justice Department was weaponized by the Biden administration to go after Christians.

[…]Other admin officials who attended the meeting included FBI Director Kash Patel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

And here’s an example of a couple of the stories:

During the meeting, the task force heard from lawyer Michael Farris, who is represented the Cornerstone Church as it was under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for an alleged Johnson Amendment violation. The Johnson Amendment is a decades old provision in federal law that allows pastors to be prosecuted for making political statements from the pulpit.

The panel also heard from Phil Mendes, a Navy Seal who was relieved of duty by the Department of Defense after it denied his request for a religious exemption to the COVID vaccine.

Now, you might think that groups like the ERLC would be very concerned about religious liberty, but actually, as I blogged about previously, they have other priorities. Ethics and religious liberty just aren’t very important to “Christian” elites.

Meanwhile, there was more positive news from Dr. John Lott, writing over at Real Clear Politics:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified a shocking plan by former President Joe Biden’s administration for dealing with domestic terrorists. Last Wednesday, Gabbard released a June 2021 document titled “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism” (henceforth “the Plan”). But despite the release receiving over 6.3 million views on X by Monday morning, the major media has ignored the document.

Keep in mind that the Biden-Harris administration thought that parents who were concerned about girls being forced to shower and change clothes with boys were “domestic terrorists”.

More:

To combat this domestic threat, the Biden administration advocated censorship, closing people’s accounts at banks or financial institutions (so-called “de-banking”), and gun control.

And who was going to be subject to these measures? Illegal immigrants who commit crimes? No. People with mental illnesses  who are taking powerful drugs, who commit violence? No. People from crime syndicates and drug cartels? No. Actually, they wanted to use these measures on law-abiding Americans who disagreed with the Democrat party on policy:

The Biden administration obliterated the line between lawful expression and criminal intent by encouraging federal agencies to monitor speech that involved no criminal activity. Once you read the declassified version of the Plan, it becomes clear that the Biden administration actions weren’t necessarily by accident. Despite repeated public denials, it followed an explicit policy of identifying people based solely on their political views.

In 2022, an FBI whistleblower exposed the rollout of a related document: the FBI’s “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide” for identifying “Militia Violent Extremists” (MVEs). As Congressman Jim Jordan wrote in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, the guide advised agents to be suspicious of symbols like “2A” and imagery referencing the Second Amendment. It also flagged historically significant emblems like the Betsy Ross Flag and Gadsden Flag as indicators of potential domestic terrorists.

Of course, in December 2023, reports revealed that the FBI categorized “certain Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists.” And FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend testified before Congress in May 2023 that he was tasked with recording the license plate numbers of parents who attended school board meetings and expressed concerns about topics such as critical race theory and gender ideology.

While the Biden administration publicly stated their intent was limited to criminal activities, the declassified documents reveal the targeting of individuals based on their expressions of free speech or religious practices.​ The concerns and criticisms about overreach arose from the administration’s explicit policy.

Interestingly, the report states that the Biden administration was supportive of actions taken by other countries who cracked down on their citizens for disagreeing with secular left policies:

After a March 2019 massacre at a mosque in Christchurch, the New Zealand government pushed for Twitter accounts to be locked even for simply pointing out that the murderer was “a socialist, environmentalist, who hates capitalists & free trade.” That went against the government and the media’s line. Even linking to newspaper pieces making that point resulted in censorship.

The secular left likes socialism and environmentalism, so you can’t criticize those things. Even by pointing to facts and evidence. The secular left wants you to love their ideology. They don’t want you to question the results of their policies. You have to approve of their results. You have to believe anything they say, because they want what’s best for you. You have to admire them, because they are smarter and more moral than you are. You have to trust them. You have to love them.

We got a reprieve in the last election, but it might be worth sharing stories like this with your Christian and conservative friends, so that they understand that there are many secular leftists in America who are exactly the same as secular leftists in the Soviet Union, or North Korea, or Cambodia, or anywhere else where communism has been tried. In America, there are still enough Christians and conservatives around to put the brakes on their plans. Thanks to the release of this report, we know exactly what they were planning to do to Christians and conservatives. Don’t forget.

I’m writing this post on Tuesday night, and I wanted to highlight a Supreme Court case that started on Tuesday. It’s a case to decide whether parents in Maryland – a Democrat-run state – can opt their young children out of LGBT indoctrination, at the hands of the schools. As it stands, parents don’t even have to be notified.

Here’s an article in Daily Signal, written by Tiffany Justice, the Moms for Liberty co-founder. She writes about the “Mahnoud v. Taylor” SCOTUS case that started on Tuesday.

She writes:

Since 2022, Montgomery County schools have used books like “Pride Puppy!” and “Born Ready” for children as young as 3. These aren’t simple stories about kindness. They introduce complex ideas—gender transitions, Pride events, pronoun choices—that often conflict with the religious and cultural values of diverse families.

Initially, the school board promised parental notification and opt-outs, but in March 2023, it eliminated these options, leaving parents like Tamer Mahmoud, a Muslim father, with an impossible choice: expose their kids to material they find inappropriate or leave public schools.

Supporters of the policy argue it promotes inclusivity, but true inclusion respects differences, not silences them. These books don’t just “teach tolerance”; they advocate a worldview that embraces “nonbinary” identities and gender fluidity, often ignoring whether young children can process such ideas.

When these ideas are presented in the context of “being inclusive,” it means children are inherently pressured not to examine or think critically about these notions but to embrace them.

What I find interesting about these cases, where goverment monopolies decide that they know more than the people who pay their salaries, is that there is no opt-out. So, the people who pay for public schools and school boards have real degrees and real jobs. They work hard to learn math, then they get their STEM degrees, then they go work in the competitive private sector.

But when they have to send their kids to school, they find the system is run by people who never learned math, never got STEM degrees, and never worked in the private sector. It’s those people who want to indoctrinate children with their woke values.

So, do the STEM degree fathers get an opt-out of paying taxes for this system? No, they don’t. They have to pay the taxes. And their children have to be indoctrinated. There is no opt-out.

In fact, asking for an opt-out will get you branded as a hater:

Worse, school board members have suggested that allowing opt-outs encourages “hate,” casting sincere beliefs as prejudice. This isn’t a conversation—it’s an accusation.

I don’t think that I need to remind anyone about how the Loudon County school board in Virginia worked with the Biden government to label all parents who object to the mandatory sexualization of children as “domestic terrorists”. And again, it’s the parents who pay their salaries.

What’s interesting about this case is that it is an appeal of a decision by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. That decision went against the parents. Do you see why it is so important for Christians to vote conservative at election time? There are so many of these fake ERLC  / woke “Christians” out there telling people to worry about Democrat priorities, and vote for Democrats. What does it get you? It gets you school boards and schools that indoctrinate your children in sexual anarchy. Therefore, vote wisely.
