The cold civil war is real — and only one side is fighting to win



Don’t threaten me with a good time, Texas.

If you are going to issue arrest warrants for the Democrat traitors, then somebody better get arrested. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

If we don’t fight for the good, the true, and the beautiful, we risk far more than elections

We’re not just living through political dysfunction — we’re slogging through a cold civil war. And it’s time we started acting like it. Just war theory demands it.

Living ‘not of’ this world

Augustine developed the theory for a Christianized Roman empire that needed to distinguish the rules of the “City of God” from those of the city of man. Today, America must reclaim that tradition — not to excuse evil for the sake of good, but to return to our foundational, God-ordained principles.

To what degree can we become the shining city on a hill that the founders intended while being mere sinners? Since the values that defined such a city existed long before the American experiment was ever tried, we were clearly meant to rely on the rigorous application of self-evident truths — not to reinvent the wheel.

We have a duty to defend the integrity of our worldview — contrary to what your sweater-vested beta-male pastor may have told you. When the laws of nature and nature’s God are under attack, we are biblically called to offer up reasons for the hope that is in us.

When we don’t, we don’t just forfeit hope; we invite its opposite — despair — which has so often been the case in recent years. We must choose: the way of men or the way of cowards.

Yes, Trump won in 2024, and life is indeed better than it was a very short while ago. But make no mistake: We are still under attack.

A new ‘just war’ theory

That’s why we need a renewed just war theory for America’s current plight.

Whereas the spirit of the age — via its primary political vehicle, the Democratic Party — has willfully broken the social compact that once bound us together as a people;

And whereas that same spirit has made clear through both policy and rhetoric that it has no interest in restoring that compact;

Therefore, we no longer owe deference to any tradition, legal fiction, or gesture toward comity that no longer binds us. To pretend otherwise is to either lose the cold civil war or start a hot one that our children will be forced to fight.

We won’t do that to them. We will do the hard things now so that they may live free.

Therefore, our new rules of engagement are as follows: We will do everything it takes to win, other than what the ultimate judge of our fates explicitly forbids in his word. But short of that, we will do everything else to the greatest degree and with maximum prejudice when necessary.

We prefer cold civil wars when our side wins and the other side loses.

No more furrowed-brow “nicer-than-God” poses from the Mike Pence school of surrender. No more ackshuallys. No more arguing like the earth is flat.

Our domestic enemies hate us. They want to enslave our children. We must defeat them — without apology.

Our enemies are prowling

Remember that iconic line from “Independence Day”?

You will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution — but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. … We will not go quietly into the night!

If the fictional American president played by Bill Pullman in “Independence Day” could get us out of our seats with such a message, maybe it’s time we recommit ourselves to such a message possibility in real life.

That’s the prime directive. And after taking a bullet to the face and rising to shout “Fight, fight, fight!” it’s one that Donald Trump has recommitted to — body and soul.

Every tactic and strategy must now be filtered through that lens.

Because if we don’t fight for the good, the true, and the beautiful, we risk far more than elections. We risk our eternal souls.

Our enemies are deadly wolves, and they know what they are doing. Elizabeth Warren didn’t just accidentally find herself next to a foreign-born, communist, Islamic rainbow jihadist in New York and decide to brand him as the new face of her party.

She did it because she is making plans for your destruction.

So yes, we need to start arresting traitors in Texas. And that should only be the beginning of what we’re prepared to do because we love God, our children, and our future.

EXCLUSIVE: Mike Pence Writes To Thank Speaker Johnson For Major Pro-Life Victory

'Generational victory for life'

Trump is correct — Leonard Leo teamed up with Pence to derail RFK Jr.



The legal battle surrounding President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs has intensified, and Trump took aim at the Federalist Society for helping him pick out the judges who are now giving him a hard time.

"It was suggested that I use the Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

"I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions,” he continued, adding that he was “so disappointed” in the Federal Society "because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations."

And Leo doesn’t work just with the Federal Society but with the CRC Advisors as well — who BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler believes are leading Mike Pence’s campaign to derail Robert F. Kennedy Jr.


“Mike Pence’s issue with RFK Jr. is what RFK Jr. plans to do at HHS, to hold vaccine manufacturers accountable, to reform the Big Food industry, which has caused chronic health problems among, especially children, but everyone in our country,” Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

“That’s what Mike Pence is concerned about, because Mike Pence’s group takes money from Big Pharma,” she explains, noting that the former chairman of the pharmaceutical company G.D. Searle, which was bought by Pfizer, now runs a political group of his own.

“One of his pet projects, which he gave six figures to, was Mike Pence’s group, Advancing American Freedom,” Wheeler says. “The very group that is now advocating that Republican senators vote against RFK Jr., who wants to take on Big Pharma.”

Pence’s group, Advancing American Freedom, was working with the publicity group Leo funds, CRC Advisors.

“Now, this publicity group was hired by Mike Pence’s group to bring publicity to Mike Pence’s ad blitz, trying to convince Republican senators to vote against Bobby Kennedy,” Wheeler says.

“If you look at the client resume of CRC Advisors, another one of their clients is Eli Lilly, a big pharmaceutical company,” she continues. “This is the swamp, the interconnectedness, the fact that it’s so nebulous that everyone’s tied together, for what? For this swampy purpose.”

“And Mike Pence is pretending that his opposition to RFK Jr. is about abortion. It’s not about abortion. His group, his effort to derail RFK Jr. as HHS secretary, is funded by Big Pharma. That is his real motive,” she adds.

Pro-Lifers Settle Lawsuit Against Indiana After New GOP Governor Releases Abortion Records

Gov. Mike Braun directed state agencies to continue releasing records that document abortionist malfeasance, ending a pro-lifer lawsuit.

Like a dog to vomit, weak Republicans sabotage their own party



We are not a nation of laws, and we never have been. We are a nation of political will, and we always will be. Take Florida for example.

What is happening in the Sunshine State is a reminder that the Bible is always correct. The dog returns to its own vomit. Which is another way of saying no one rises above his own worldview. No one. If you’re a junkie, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re an abuser, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re a simp, you’ll continue to be one until your worldview has changed. If you’re a resident of Covidstan, you will continue to hate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. until your worldview has changed.

The opposition to RFK Jr., Trump, or DeSantis isn’t really about principles — it’s about the fragile male egos of the 'nicer than God' Christian-GOP establishment.

If there were ever a place where people instinctively did the right thing because it benefited them — without necessarily believing in the underlying principles — it would be Ron DeSantis’ Florida.

He rejected every GOP consultant’s playbook to transform Florida from a place that narrowly gave him a victory over a guy who once snorted cocaine off a gay hooker’s behind to a place that awarded him a decisive 20-point landslide four years later. And incidentally, his victory contributed to the near-total collapse of the Florida Democratic Party. So obviously, a lot of GOP consultants should never work again, right?

Nope! Oh, look! Vomit!

The Florida Republican legislature is eating it up in the name of protecting illegal immigration in Florida by trying to give the state agriculture commissioner more power to police the matter than the governor possesses, thus trying to turn DeSantis into a lame duck as we speak.

Take notes, my friends, because I promise you this: If the GOP loses the 2026 midterms by pulling its punches and channeling the spirit of Mitt Romney, the same type of Republicans in Washington will try to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency. They resent that both Trump and DeSantis forced them to take actions they had long avoided.

If they can’t accept victory in Florida, seize the momentum, and ride the wave to success elsewhere, they won’t do it anywhere. There is no real conservative movement — only men wielding power.

Which brings us back to RFK Jr. and the opposition to his nomination as secretary of health and human services, led by evangelical figures like Mike Pence.

The GOP’s problems stem largely from the same issues that plague the church. In this case, Republicans with weak pro-life records use RFK Jr.’s stance on baby-killing as a smokescreen to excuse their broader failures. Take Francis Collins, for example — a so-called pious Christian who rubber-stamped Anthony Fauci’s disastrous policies that upended American life and pushed the poisonous jab. Collins has never expressed a shred of remorse.

Meanwhile, within two weeks of retaking office, Trump reinstated 8,000 service members to full rank and back pay after they were purged from the military, cracked down on transgender ideology in hospitals and women’s sports, and ramped up deportations of rapists and drug traffickers who prey on children.

That looks pretty pro-life to me, far more pro-life than anything Mike Pence has done. The opposition to RFK Jr., Trump, or DeSantis isn’t really about principles — it’s about the fragile male egos of the “nicer than God” Christian-GOP establishment, whose only true conviction is maintaining a grifty hold on power.

I’m absolutely done with that vomit. And you should be, too. Be honest with yourself and realize that there is more pro-life action being taken by the Trump administration than in all other GOP administrations combined. Take “yes” for an answer and let RFK Jr. go to work in the battle of wills before us.

Mike Pence's fake 'pro-life' opposition to RFK



It gives me zero pleasure to call out professing Christians, but prominent figures who use the name of Christ to advance morally dubious political agendas should be held accountable.

This week it's former Vice President Mike Pence.

So let's do the math here. Pence takes money from Big Pharma and formulates a nonsensical argument that pro-lifers need to fight RFK's nomination.

Pence appears to have joined the club of those who consort with Big Pharma to the detriment of all the rest of us. Dr. Francis Collins was a charter member of that club, as I detailed in "A Sunday kind of faith," but now Pence appears to be following suit.

As Rav Arora reports in detail here, a Pence-founded advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, announced this past week a six-figure ad campaign to fight RFK's confirmation as secretary of health and human services.

Follow the money

First, let's talk about those six figures. Who, exactly, is donating to keep RFK out of Trump's Cabinet?

Well, at least $100K came from G.D. Searle, now affiliated with ... any guesses? If you guessed Pfizer, ding ding ding! You're a winner!

But as Arora further reports, it gets muckier. Pence's former chief of staff, one Marc Short, has been linked to ethical questions due to his ownership of Big Pharma stock while he was in a position, during COVID, to influence federal response.

And now, as chairman of the board of Pence's advocacy group, Short is raising "ethical" questions about RFK, as well as repeating easily rebutted lies about RFK's involvement in certain vaccine controversies — again as Arora details.

Speaking of easily rebutted lies about RFK, another story the mainstream media is pushing hard right now is that 17,000 doctors have signed a letter demanding that RFK not be confirmed. But the media hasn’t reported the fact that anyone could — and did — sign that letter, as Jenna McCarthy hilariously reports here. Spoiler: It appears Bill Gates is behind the doctor letter effort. Color us all shocked.

But I digress.

Pro-pharma

What is most bothersome to me in all this is the approach Pence is taking to this effort, as he seeks to influence Christian conservatives in regard to this nomination.

Last week he published an op-ed in the Washington Times entitled, "There's work left to do in the pro-life movement" — and yes, there probably is. But what was the action step he wants us to take, exactly? What was the punch line of his article?

"We urge others in the pro-life community to join us in calling on members of the Senate to reject RFK Jr. and give President Trump a second chance to appoint a pro-life secretary who will defend the cause of life and ensure that HHS continually makes choices that guide our country towards life."

Wait — what?

How exactly would a pro-life HHS secretary help the pro-life movement? Since the abortion issue is currently being worked out primarily at the state level, HHS doesn't have too much to do with it.

But you know what the HHS secretary can address? What he can actually help make right? You know the answer already.

We need an HHS secretary who is pro-all-of-our-lives. Pro-health-for-everyone. Someone who will stand against the death merchants of Big Pharma.

Vaccine malpractice

We all need to work together to undo the medical malpractice pushed on all of us — malpractice that has been especially damaging to the young people who took the vax, like the countless young men now suffering heart problems. Or consider the huge upsurge in young people diagnosed with turbo cancers. How many of us know a younger person who's been struck by something like this? Are any of these victims not vaccinated? Well, none that I've encountered.

And just this month, a researcher found evidence of the vaccine in cancer tumors, which is ominous news indeed. Big Pharma rushed to cash in on COVID, and the companies don't want anyone stopping them from future profits. RFK is potentially in their way.

So let's do the math here. Pence takes money from Big Pharma and formulates a nonsensical argument that pro-lifers need to fight RFK's nomination. That sleight of hand is not a good look for a professing believer.

Because stopping RFK has nothing to do with stopping abortion. It won't save one unborn baby. But his confirmation could well save many born babies — from vaccines that will kill them. Because make no mistake, even as you read this, there are parents in this country mourning the loss of a young child to the COVID (or other) vaccines.

Side note: I challenge you to read this and not come away supportive of RFK's stated desire to clean up the vaccine mess, requiring proper safety evaluations before they are used on our children.

So. Pretending that pro-lifers have a duty to work against RFK on this is misleading at best. I call it willfully uninformed, for someone of Pence's stature, as well as unethical and unbecoming of a Christian. His disingenuous attempt to co-opt pro-lifers to fight for something that is anti-life can certainly be considered a black eye to the cause of Christ.

Interestingly, his op-ed ends with this: Mike Pence is a husband, father, grandfather, Christian, conservative and Republican — in that order.

You should rethink that order, Mr. Pence, as you should rethink your partnership with a corrupt industry responsible for much human suffering.

And if you agree, please take a few moments to let your senators know that we voted for Trump and RFK as a package deal and we expect him to be confirmed, or they can expect to be primaried. This is especially important for all Republican senators, many of whom have taken far too much money from Pharma.

We must stop this now. And here’s an easy way to do it that will take less than a minute. Click here and help end this madness.

Failed presidential candidate Mike Pence's group fights RFK Jr. confirmation



President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as health and human services secretary and tasked him with making America healthy again.

"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his November announcement, adding that under Kennedy, HHS "will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country."

Former Vice President Mike Pence, whose failed 2024 presidential campaign drew plenty of sizeable donations from industries potentially affected by such a health campaign, highlighted on Wednesday that his organization, Advancing American Freedom, is still leaning on U.S. senators to undermine Kennedy's confirmation.

Advancing American Freedom, which seeks in part to roll back corporate regulations, suggested in a Jan. 14 letter to Republican senators that its opposition was informed by Kennedy's past support for abortion, which has fluctuated over the years.

The New York Times noted that Kennedy initially endorsed federal restrictions on abortion last year but then said elsewhere that women should be able to have their unborn children killed without any government-imposed limits.

'He told me he believes there are far too many abortions in the US.'

Following significant backlash, Kennedy stated, "Abortion should be legal up until a certain number of weeks, and restricted thereafter," adding that a child's viability outside the womb was the point at which abortion should be illegal.

While Kennedy's position on abortion is likely unsettling for many pro-lifers, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (R) revealed last month that Kennedy has "committed to me to reinstate President Trump's prolife policies at HHS. That includes reinstating the Mexico City policy & ending taxpayer funding for abortions domestically."

"He supports reinstating the bar on Title X funds going to organizations that promote abortion," continued Hawley. "He pledged to reverse the Biden Admin's Section 1557 rule and also said all of his deputies at HHS would be prolife. He told me he believes there are far too many abortions in the US and that we cannot be the moral leader of the free world with abortion rates so high."

Nevertheless, Pence's group said in a letter this week, "While RFK Jr. has made certain overtures to pro-life leaders that he would be mindful of their concerns at HHS, there is little reason for confidence at this time."

"Whatever the merits of RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again initiative — indeed, whatever other qualities a nominee might possess — an HHS Secretary must have a firm commitment to protect unborn children, or else bend under the pressure and pushback surrounding these daily, critical decisions," added AAF.

Like his group, Pence has similarly attacked Kennedy's candidacy, urging Senate Republicans to "reject this nomination and give the American people a leader who will respect the sanctity of life as secretary of Health and Human Services."

In addition to vowing to protect American youth from the sex-change regime, Kennedy indicated that as HHS secretary, he would work to eliminate retarding levels of fluoride from drinking water; clean house at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; ban widely used chemicals in order to "stop the mass poisoning of American children"; and ensure that Americans have "good information" about vaccines.
