The Neo-Marxists Brand Americans Who Love Jesus ‘Christian Nationalists’

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer exposes the Left's attempt to brand Americans who love both Jesus and their country as ‘Christian Nationalists.’ In homage to 1930 Fascism, the left has uncorked a full-scale propaganda campaign, spearheaded by Hollywood film director, Rob Reiner who will release his new documentary God and Country, in February just in time for the 2024 election. ‘Christian Nationalism’ is the left’s latest boogeyman of the day. Meathead, the character played by Reiner in the 70s sitcom All in the Family, hopes the film will fool enough Americans into believing the Nazis are back and controlling the Republican Party to reelect President Joe Biden, whose low poll numbers have the Democratic Party seriously spooked.

Stop The Abortion Juggernaut

Pro-abortion extremists have shocked the pro-life movement in a string of victories on referenda across America. At least four states have amended their constitutions to permit virtually unlimited abortions, including Ohio, Michigan, and California. The victories were the result of pro-abortion forces massively outspending the pro-life side, and low voter turnout among Christians and conservatives.

Why Are So Many American University Student Groups Supporting Hamas in the Hamas-Israeli Conflict?

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer discusses the alarming presence of antisemitism on major American university campuses. Bauer says that left-wing, neo-Marxist ideologies, which are taught and celebrated at colleges everywhere are squarely to blame. He points to a recent scientific survey that showed that the more highly educated an individual is (advanced degrees and significant time in spent in higher education), the more likely they were to hold to strong antisemitic, anti-American, and anti-Christian views.

Biden’s Godless Thanksgiving

All of us at JDFI hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Thanksgiving traces its roots back to the pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Our first President, George Washington, issued the Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789, which described in its opening sentence what the occasion was all about. President Washington wrote: "Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor…"

Reflections on the Origin of Thanksgiving and Its Influence on America

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer embarks on a journey that traces the origins of the first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims in the autumn of 1621. This first Thanksgiving came as a result of a harsh 1620 winter, where as many as half the original colonists died. It was after a strong crop harvest the following year that the Pilgrims decided to hold a day of celebration and prayer, and they invited their Native American friends, who had helped them along the way, to join them. Fast forward 168 years, when our nation’s first President, George Washington, issued the Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789, which described in its opening sentence what the occasion was all about. President Washington wrote: “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor…” Seventy-four years later, Abraham Lincoln in his 1863 proclamation urged all Americans to observe the last Thursday of November “… as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.” The fact that Lincoln could call for such a day even during ...

The hour is late and we know that our enemy, Satan, is cunning and seeks to steal, kill, and destroy us.
