My Public Statement Regarding ICE, Minnesota, & My Viral Post: 👇

“For years, I’ve been an outspoken advocate for the American nation, that it might remain uniquely American, so that we might give to our children the same country that we inherited from our fathers. I’ve not been alone in my concern that our land has turned into something it was never intended to be, not a united nation, and not a united people, but a disjointed collage of many nations within one, all with disparate interests and not all of whom have the best interest of our children and future generations in mind, those who treat our home as a buffet of entitlements and a place to extract wealth from the citizens who have belonged here for generations.

Just one year ago, I was one of millions of Americans - a majority, in fact - who were happy to see our new president take office with the promise to enforce our laws, secure our border, and remove from our borders those who have over-stayed their welcome, or those who had no welcome at all. All that I’ve ever desired, and millions like me, is to see the executive branch of government do exactly what it was designed to do; to enforce the laws that govern us and, in theory, those who reside within our nation. What we have wanted, is nothing short of and nothing more than the rule of law.

Americans realize that our nation hangs by a thread. Leftists who want to import illegitimate voters, and lobbyists for foreign nations who want to open their floodgates into ours, corporations who want a permanent labor class to enslave with suppressed wages - even if it means their indentured servants live their lives in the shadows to have it - and NGOs acting subversively against the very country that funds their coffers, have flooded out country with more than twenty million known invaders.

This is unsustainable. We are at the point of no return, a critical juncture where we get to decide if our leaders who we elected can do the job we’ve assigned them, or if they can be turned back by lawless men. We have seen in recent days an increasingly organized opposition that openly supports and shields criminals while obstructing the lawful duties of the government the American people elected to administer. They did not win that election. We did. They tried to stop it. They couldn’t. They carried out all the stops, but it wasn’t enough to outweigh the will of the people in a free and fair election.

Now they seek to negate the ballot-box result through intimidation, harassment and an the interference of law enforcement. Unable to halt the will of the people democratically, they now seek to hinder the will of the people illegally. They are stalking our men and women in uniform, hunting them like prey, following them to throw sticks in the spokes of justice and prohibit them from carrying out - not their will - but ours. It is the insurrection that we were told January 6 was, overturning the consequences of a lawful election. They are armed. They are dangerous. and they are engaging in tactics of a Color Revolution to overwhelm the agents of a democratically elected government. They are not obstructing ICE. They are obstructing the decisive will of the American people. Their attacks are not only on immigration enforcement, but the ballot box. They are seeking to overthrow an election by force, after the fact.

These tactics are not spontaneous; they are defined by what we call organized disruption, division of labor, secure communications, target surveillance, rapid-response mobilization and the intentional use of legal constraints. And this impotence comes even while agents of anarchy show no such restraint. Rather, they embark on a full-scale pressure campaign designed to exhaust, intimidate and overwhelm legitimate authority and, if extended long enough, to compel that authority to surrender.

A few days ago, I tweeted out 13 words, turning the names of two dead obstructionists into a pun. For that offense, I was doxed, have received 3000 threatening calls, 1500 threatening emails, and dozens of death threats, and some, credible. So let me speak to this.

My offense was that I did not speak of these two departed souls as victims, except of their own decision-making. The same mobs that are acting to overthrow the rule of law demand to coerce and control my speech - and yours. As with George Floyd and other manufactured martyrs of their secular civil religion, they demand that we speak of them as departed saints and victims of law enforcement, the very ones who keep us safe from them. I will not play this game of hallowing those who are not holy and sanctifying actions that are not sacred. I will not. This is not outrage over a pun. It is forced manipulation to canonize new saints of a religion that I do not hold.

My regret is attracting the attention of a riotous mob that will require law enforcement to dedicate itself to protecting me instead of focusing on assisting immigration officers which is, no doubt, their intention. And that is the shame. But this is not the time for Christ’s ministers to stand down in the face of lawlessness or cave to riots. I will not. I cannot. This is time for moral clarity to affirm to righteous role of government in their God-given role to maintain law and order, and to protect its citizens from national invasion. I do not rebuke them. I wish Godspeed to them. They are acting rightly. They are acting morally. And yes, they need to do even more.

When we said America First, we meant Americans First. When we said “mass deportations,” we meant mass deportations. We did not ask President Trump and Border Czar Homan to make an attempt to deport our country’s invaders. We did not ask them to do it if the Left agreed. We did not ask them to do it if it could be done without resistance. We told them to get it done.

Christians are ordered by Christ’s Apostles to submit to the governing authorities who have been tasked by God to be His ministers. That’s why many countries within Christendom refer to their heads of states as Prime Minister. They ad-minister the task assigned them by God, which - according to Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2 - is to punish the wicked and reward the good. And to do so, they are tasked with “bearing the sword.” This is no metaphor. The sword is real, and so is the blood it draws. So let me be very clear: Obstructing immigration enforcement from carrying out a law enforcement operation to remove criminals (who include murderers, rapists, and child molestors) from our streets is wicked. It is the very wickedness that God’s ministers bear a sword to deal with.

All of us wish that those who get between immigration officials and the criminals they are grabbing off the streets would choose to do otherwise. All of us would rather they go home, and go home safely, and dedicate themselves to some other way to pass the time or be of use to their communities. God knows, our communites who have the poor who need fed, the homeless need help, the addicted and mentally ill who need treatment, and many who need a helping hand from their countrymen.

But we find it woefully unfortunate that for generations, our children have been indoctrinated with Bolshevism, Cultural Marxism, and other radical ideologies poisoning the minds of young Americans, indoctrinating them to make citizens act against their own self-interests, and ascribing virtue to national self-sabbotage. In the days, weeks, and months to come, immigration officials and our president will need to keep their resolve to finish the job. And that may require, God forbid, even more confrontations that will leave American famlilies with one less insurrectionist coming home. And we wish it weren’t so.”
