A colleague yesterday said he was working from home because the FBI asked his company to shut down during the investigation of the baseball field where James Hodgkinson attempted to assassinate Republican members of Congress. I knew there was a ball field across from my friend’s office, but I hadn’t put two and two together.

This field is really tricky to find as even GPS gets confused and “recalculating” occurs. Then an email arrived from a ministry partner William Agbeti in Ghana, who has survived six coups, with a blockbuster question: “How did gunman James Hodgkinson, who lives in Chicago, know when and where Steve Scalise and company would be practicing for a baseball game in Alexandria?”

When I told Agbeti about how difficult it is to find the field, he replied, “Third world kinda contract killing at work.” This is an excellent point. While the narrative is that Hodgkinson was a lone wolf who went off the deep end because of all the hate rhetoric, how did he just randomly show up with an assault rifle at an obscure location where Republican Congressmen were practicing for a baseball game of all things?

No, there is more to this story. It’s too bad that Hodgkinson was killed as he took his secret to his grave, although we do know that he was influenced by the hate speech atmosphere created by Democratic politicians and their celebrity supporters as amplified by a biased and complicit media.

The conciliatory chorus crooned by Democrats turned quickly to blaming President Donald Trump for the shooter’s actions. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was all gushy on the day the shooting occurred, but the day after said in a speech:

When you have a president that says I can shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and nobody would care, when you have people saying beat them up and I’ll pay their legal fees, when you have all the assaults that are made on Hillary Clinton, for them to be so sanctimonious is something.

In her column “The Resistance goes live-fire,” Ann Coulter concluded: “The fake news insists that Trump’s White House is in “chaos.” No, the country is in chaos. But just like Kathy Griffin and her Trump decapitation performance art—the perpetrators turn around in doe-eyed innocence and blame Trump.”

Agbeti sees this from an experiential lens:

Being an African who has survived six coups d’etat in Ghana, I see so many similarities associated with the development of coups d’etat at play in the U.S. This development has kept me thinking: What could be happening here?…Indisputably, there is a coup in the offing…the good people of America may not know about the coup in the offing. But clearly, those engineering the coup d’etat know what they are doing; and admittedly they seem to be pros about what they are doing.

These are people with blood on their hands and in their minds and hearts. As The Lord said to Cain in Genesis 4:10, “The voice of your brother’s blood cries unto me from the ground.”

We need to recognize this and pray for our nation and the courage to honor God, calling for civility and standing against tyranny.

Have a blessed and powerful day!

Many Americans are watching with amazement at the circus taking place in our nation’s capital trying to derail, delegitimize the presidency and obstruct government. It’s happening under the guise of investigating whether President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the U.S. election.

Even Democratic leaders say that there is no evidence, but they pursue the obstruction of the Trump agenda through the morass they are creating with their media partners and communist actors. Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions took center ring and testified. Bottom line: Sessions said that the mere suggestion of collusion with the Russians to undermine America “is an appalling and detestable lie.”

It wasn’t long ago when another Attorney General was embroiled in a controversy that was far worse than what Sessions was accused. In fact, this Attorney General has participated in a gun running scheme that ended up getting border agents killed.

Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about Fast and Furious, his scheme to sell guns to Mexican drug cartels so the government could track their movement. The result was the deaths of at least two US border agents. Holder also refused to enforce laws such as the Defense of Marriage Act and voter rights laws when the New Black Panthers terrorist group refused to allow whites to vote in Philadelphia. He also was caught spying on journalists.

Pay no mind because Congress didn’t do a thing about it. Yet a Republican-controlled Congress is allowing a minority-led coup attempt by the Democratic Party to advance through Congressional hearings about a Russian influence scheme on American elections where there is no evidence to support even the weakest claims.

The Democratic Party, namely its most recent candidate for president, has ties with Russia that resulted in uranium sales to Russia in return for donations of at least $20 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation-all part of a very well documented influence peddling scheme orchestrated by Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State. Nothing to see here. Media moves on.

This is amazing. It is hypocrisy at the highest. Congress overlooks documented evidence of governmental organized crime with Russian purchases of uranium, sales of weapons to Mexican drug cartels, the backing of al Qaeda in Libya during the Benghazi crisis, yet allows a minority party to foment a three-ring circus that undermines the office of the president. Republicans should be ashamed for their lack of courage and backbone. You see, both parties are at fault. They should do what they are elected to do rather than trying to tear one another down.

As Jesus said in Matthew 12:25, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”

We, the people, need to unify against this hypocrisy and highway to tyranny.

Have a blessed and powerful day!
