THE UNWORTHY ONES

It breaks my heart to see what’s happening to some of the most vulnerable kids in our country. The Department of Education, which should be there to protect every child, has been gutted under the Trump administration. Offices that oversee special education—the lifeline for students with disabilities—are being cut or eliminated¹ ² ³. This isn’t reform; this is a moral failure.

God tells us to defend the widow, the orphan, and those who can’t speak for themselves. And yet here we are: staff who enforce the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act—the law that guarantees every child an education—are being dismantled¹ ² ³. The message is clear: if your child doesn’t fit the mold, they don’t matter.

This isn’t just policy. It’s a rejection of God’s call to love and serve all His children, especially the ones the world often ignores. Removing oversight, delaying services, or forcing parents to fight for the care their kids need is turning away from God’s command to protect the innocent⁴ ⁵.

When these offices are gone or weakened, parents are left to navigate a system alone. Students may lose critical accommodations and therapies. Teachers are stretched beyond capacity. Laws meant to protect children become nothing more than words on paper⁶.

Jesus says in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Yet the actions we’re seeing actively hinder kids from getting the help they need. Children with disabilities are not burdens—they are blessings. They are created in God’s image, each with purpose and worth⁷.

A nation shows its character by how it treats its weakest members. America used to be a leader in protecting children and ensuring every student could thrive. By dismantling protections for special education, we’re showing a willingness to neglect God’s command to care for the helpless⁷ ⁸.

Education isn’t a privilege. It’s a right, and it’s God-given. Every child belongs to Him. When the state turns its back, we cannot stay silent. We have to speak up, pray, and act to protect His children⁹ ¹⁰.

Let’s stand up for the kids God entrusted to us. Let’s defend them. When we fail to protect His children, we fail Him.

When Duty Collided with Conscience

Image
On July 1, 2026, Air Force Major Jason Watson made a decision that will likely define the rest of his military career. While wearing his Air Force service uniform, he stood on the steps of the U.S. Capitol holding a sign calling for the impeachment, conviction, and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. He also publicly criticized the administration's military actions, saying he believed they were unconstitutional. By his own statements, Watson believed he had a moral duty to speak out. He knew there would probably be consequences, but he chose to protest anyway as an act of civil disobedience. One thing that has confused a lot of people is why he was arrested. Some have said he had permission to be there and then somehow lost it. That's not exactly what happened. Representative Al Green escorted Watson onto the House steps. Under Capitol rules, demonstrations are allowed there only under certain conditions, including when a member of Congres...

Trump’s Iran Strikes: Unconstitutional, Dangerous, and a Christian Call for Accountability

Donald Trump has proven to be a dangerously impulsive leader, and his recent actions reveal a pattern of narcissistic decision-making that puts the country and the world at risk. From unilateral military strikes to flouting constitutional processes, his behavior demonstrates a disregard for law, accountability, and the perspectives of allies. Leadership of this magnitude demands wisdom, restraint, and a commitment to the rule of law — qualities Trump has repeatedly shown he cannot exercise responsibly. For the safety and stability of the nation, he must be removed from the office of the President of the United States as quickly as possible, along with enablers like JD Vance and Mike Johnson, whose support empowers these reckless tendencies. Donald Trump — in the name of the United States — recently launched military strikes against Iran, escalating a conflict that already threatens global stability and regional security. These actions were taken without formal authorization from Congre...

DHS’s Subpoena Campaign Threatens First Amendment Freedoms

In a constitutional federal representative democracy like the USA, government officials are supposed to protect the rights of the people, not intimidate them. Yet the Department of Homeland Security, under the leadership of Secretary Kristi Noem, is aggressively trying to identify Americans who criticize ICE and its enforcement actions. This is not just an overreach; it is a direct attack on the First Amendment. DHS has issued hundreds of administrative subpoenas to major tech platforms, including Google, Meta, Reddit, and Discord, demanding the names, email addresses, and other identifying information of users who post critical content about ICE¹. These subpoenas do not require prior judicial approval, allowing the agency to bypass the usual legal safeguards and target critics with alarming impunity². This is an abuse of bureaucratic power, and it chills dissent. First Amendment law clearly protects both speech and the anonymity of speakers. Courts have repeatedly emphasized that anon...
