Netflix proves men will either submit to God — or their would-be wives



Across the globe, young men and women are becoming increasingly divergent in their political views — with young women drastically identifying as more liberal and young men identifying as more conservative.

This was perfectly illustrated in Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” finale, where two young couples were torn apart at the altar by their ideological differences.

“I love you so much, but I’ve always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength, and so today I can’t,” cast member Sara Carton told fiance Ben Mezzenga in front of their friends and family at their wedding.


Carton claimed that the pair's differing views on religion, LGBTQ issues, Black Lives Matter, and the vaccine are what led her to make her decision.

“The woman in that Netflix video did that man a life favor. He should be very thankful that she did that. The problem is that he didn’t do it first. He should have recognized right away,” Steve Deace of “The Steve Deace Show” explains.

“You can see it in that clip, right there, he’s completely mesmerized by attraction and everything else. He hasn’t vetted her at all. She vetted him,” Deace continues. “Feminine beauty is undefeated, and without the Holy Spirit, you’re going to end up with gobsmack like that dude was.”

This is why young men have to fulfill their calling to be leaders.

“Someone has to lead. The creation runs on headship. Someone has to lead. Someone has to. So you’re either leading her or she’s leading you. The idea that this is co-habitual ain’t true, and it never will be. I can promise you that,” Deace says.

“Do you know why you were made, men? Do you know whom you ultimately belong to and will be held accountable to? Do you know the answer to that? Because the kind of woman you want to marry — she wants a man who can answer those questions,” he continues.

“So I promise, you’ll end up heartbroken, embarrassed, and gobsmacked as that guy on Netflix if you don’t have the right worldview,” he adds.

Dems' behavior at Trump's speech means one thing: Coexistence is OFF the table



The ideological divide that separates conservatives and liberals has grown into a gaping chasm, especially since the Obama administration. It seems that our differences are nearly irreconcilable at this point.

Never was this more obvious than last week, when the nation watched President Donald Trump give his first address to Congress since his historic return to the White House. No matter what he said or who he honored, the Democrats sat in stony, seething silence (except Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who yelled and shook his cane). There was nothing but glares from the left, even when a child with cancer was honored by the Secret Service. Many held signs of opposition; others wore pink to protest Trump’s attack on “women’s rights.”

On the other side of the audience, Republicans whooped, applauded, and stood as President Trump shared the victories of the administration and reiterated what’s still to come.

This is where we’re at.

Is reconciliation even on the table at this point?

In his recent op-ed, Steve Deace, BlazeTV host of the “Steve Deace Show,” argued that Democrats’ reaction to President Trump’s speech made one thing clear: “We can’t share a country with these people.”

Now he joins “Blaze News Tonight” host Jill Savage and Blaze Media senior politics editor and Washington correspondent Christopher Bedford to explain why he believes the only answer is to “defeat” the left.

“Why can’t we coexist with the left?” asks Jill.

“Well, number one: They won’t coexist with us,” says Deace, noting that it was the Obama administration specifically that ushered in the era of “everyone who disagrees with me is a racist, misogynist, xenophobic, homophobic bigot.”

The scary part is that “they’re sincere” when they call us these names. “It’s not just a labeling tactic,” says Deace.

“I didn't want to admit it myself, because it would mean that politics in America has become a zero-sum game, and the minute it becomes a zero-sum game, now you're talking about cold civil war kind of stuff,” he adds.

Sadly, “it’s very clear that we are there now.”

“I like to describe it as a worldview steel-cage match, where two worldviews enter and only one is coming out,” says Deace.

The Democrats, he explains, have adopted a worldview in which “ideology matters more than people.”

“Whenever you get to a point in any human endeavor where the ideology matters more than what's best for human people, you have a cult, and I think that's essentially what [Democrats] are now,” says Deace. “We cannot share a culture together.”

Christopher Bedford says that he has long had a feeling we would come to this point. It started back when ISIS was brutally murdering Christians and President Obama, at a Christian prayer breakfast, said something to the effect of “get off [your] high horse about gay rights and gay marriage.”

“That’s when I realized they hate us. They really do hate us. It’s not just dialogue. They want to destroy us … and this guy was supposed to be the great unifier; this was supposed to be someone who would bring us all together, who would heal the racial sins of America's past and make it a great place, and he did the opposite,” he says, noting that Obama at least had the charisma to take diametrically opposed groups and form them into “a workable political coalition.”

But once his term ended, “the lunatics [began running] the asylum.”

Deace agrees. “Without that external packaging … the deal basically they're offering the American people is: Unless you are a fan of "The View" or MSNBC, we've got nothing for you, literally nothing … and in fact, we not only offer you nothing, we hate your guts.”

Does Trump have the political capital to tell SCOTUS no on USAID ruling?



On Wednesday, March 5, SCOTUS in a 5-4 vote ruled to reject the Trump administration's request to block a lower court order requiring nearly $2 billion in USAID funds to be unfrozen. Conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Democrat wing of the Supreme Court, tipping the scale against President Trump.

Steve Deace wasn’t surprised by Barrett’s vote.

“She's been a colossal disappointment from her very first year on the Supreme Court when she voted almost 70% of the time with the left-wing side of the court,” he says.

However, it was Justice John Roberts who angered him the most.

“John Roberts just spanked a lower court last week ... for thinking it had the jurisdiction to do something it doesn't have the jurisdiction to do,” Deace says. “He wrote a scathing rebuke of this. ... How in the Sam Hill does John Roberts issue that opinion last week and then side with this one?”

Regardless of how disappointing the SCOTUS ruling was, Deace always knew that the MAGA agenda could only enjoy smooth sailing for so long.

At the beginning of Trump’s term, he predicted that we would “eventually get to a point, March or April, where the president has kind of exhausted how many shots at the Death Star he can take.”

This ruling indicates that that has happened.

“It's ship-to-ship combat now. We're kind of getting into that stage of this fight now, and the empire is going to strike back,” he says.

Deace thinks that President Trump has the political capital to win this fight.

Lower court judges, like U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who issued the original order demanding USAID funds be unfrozen, were “taught day one of law school that a court determines its own jurisdiction,” says Deace. “There's no jurisdiction here — none.”

If we continue “letting a bunch of unelected people claim power and jurisdiction they don't have,” the MAGA mandate will continue to be stifled.

“Now it’s time to DOGE the courts,” he says. “This is the time to say, ‘Stick it where the sun don't shine, we're not doing it,’ and teach civics to the American people like you're teaching budget to them right now through DOGE.”

Why coexistence with the left is impossible



President Donald Trump’s MAGA Supreme speech to Congress on Tuesday made one thing clear. After a Democrat responded to the speech who promotes trans propaganda and MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace attacked a kid with brain cancer, it is clear: We can’t share a country with these people.

Another generation of my family was born last year, and I want to be able to tell them honestly that they can pursue their dreams in the greatest country on Earth. But that vision feels increasingly out of reach when much of our culture appears to sympathize more with a fired federal worker than with a girl who was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant or with a young athlete harassed by a troubled boy in her sports team’s locker room or bathroom.

These people hate us. There’s no point in pandering to them, no point in negotiating, and no point in making concessions. Just defeat them.

Trump’s speech sharply underscored the real problem: If we can’t live peacefully with our neighbors and don’t trust our institutions, how can we maintain a country?

This issue goes far beyond theoretical debates in political science 101. Democrat women attended Trump’s speech dressed in all pink to promote so-called women’s rights, despite every Democrat in the U.S. Senate recently voting against protecting female athletes from transgender terrorism.

This absurd and unsustainable reality was a point we drove home to weak-kneed Iowa Republicans who were poised to block efforts to remove gender identity from Iowa’s civil rights protections. My show called out about 10 of them by name, exposing how their actions aligned more with the governor of Maine’s betrayal of girls than with the interests of Iowans. In less than 24 hours, a potentially close vote turned into a landslide victory.

If you agree with Democrats on their insanity, just be honest and switch sides. But never bow to people who will never vote for you, no matter how many woke boxes you check while keeping an “R” next to your name. The math is simple now, and it doesn’t matter if it makes you uncomfortable. This is Thunderdome: Two enter, one leaves. Which side are you on?

As bloody and terrible as it was, the European countries that fought each other in World War I had far more in common with each other than a Blaze News subscriber has with modern progressives. It’s not even close. Life in early 20th-century Berlin wasn’t much different from life in early 20th-century London. They shared similar values, the same ruling families intermarrying, and even the same DNA strands. Yet they still went to war. Meanwhile, a century later, modern blue-state Americans let politicians like Boston’s mayor offer empty thoughts and prayers for a lunatic who had to be shot by an off-duty police officer to stop him from stabbing innocent bystanders at a Chick-fil-A.

The cosmic gap between worldviews and the duties of citizenship in America has grown so vast that it’s hard to imagine so-called Americans — like the 45 U.S. senators who can’t figure out the difference between male and female — ever agreeing on enough to fight alongside us in a war. Our fundamentals aren’t just different; they’re in direct opposition. The debate over women’s sports is just the starting point for a much larger battle about the very nature of reality and whether we can continue to coexist.

Have we become existential enemies? Our opponents seem to think so. That’s why they constantly label us as racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, and homophobic bigots at every opportunity. Those are the kinds of accusations you throw when the time for compromise has passed and the only thing left is to fight for the best possible outcome. These people hate us. There’s no point in pandering to them, no point in negotiating, and no point in making concessions.

Just defeat them. No apologies, no remorse. Have some dignity and do what needs to be done, for the love of God and the future of your children. Take back this country — and do it now, before it’s too late.

Glenn Beck and BlazeTV hosts REACT to last night’s presidential address



Last night, President Donald Trump delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress — his first presidential address since his historic return to the White House. His words were full of hope as he celebrated “the dawn of the golden age of America,” the long list of wins the administration already has under its belt, and the victories that have yet to come.

“I return to this chamber tonight to report that America’s momentum is back. Our spirit is back. Our pride is back. Our confidence is back. And the American dream is surging, bigger and better than ever before,” he said.

Throughout his 90-minute speech, President Trump continually returned to the most pressing issues that still face our nation: a hurting working class, an economy that is far from recovered, and millions of illegal immigrants who remain in the country, among others.

BlazeTV hosts Glenn Beck, Liz Wheeler, Allie Beth Stuckey, Steve Deace, Stu Burguiere, Jill Savage, and Matthew Peterson share their thoughts on the address.

“This speech was awesome,” says Liz Wheeler, BlazeTV host of “The Liz Wheeler Show.” “This man was in command. He was untriggered by these ridiculous, silly people, like Al Green.”

Glenn points out that Trump’s composure is evidence that a shift has happened: The old Donald Trump was “reacting, reacting, reacting” and “always attacking” in response to the left’s incessant efforts to sabotage him. But now, “he blows it off” as Democrats spend all their time “attacking.”

The way the party has been acting since Trump’s return to the Oval Office is evidence that Democrats “don’t know who they are any more,” he says.

Allie Beth Stuckey, BlazeTV host of “Relatable,” points out how Democrats “could not even muster the courage to clap, to honor the women who have been murdered by illegal aliens” or “clap for the little kid who was diagnosed with brain cancer.”

How they think that will “[work] on the American people” is beyond her.

Steve Deace, host of the “Steve Deace Show,” calls the Al Green cane-shaking stunt and the refusal to clap “on brand for the Democrats.”

Petulant liberal antics aside, the “line of the night,” he says, was when President Trump said “to the children of America: You are perfect the way God made you.”

Jill Savage and Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson, hosts of “Blaze News Tonight,” were equally impressed with the speech.

Peterson praises the president’s ability to “[summarize] and [bring] together all of the things he has done” into “one big, beautiful speech,” which is so needed when much of the country either “isn’t paying attention” to what’s going on or is getting fake news from mainstream media.

“Trump is a master of rhetoric in the digital age,” he says.

Jill was heartened by President Trump reiterating that God saved him to make America great again.

“I think that he truly believes that,” she says. “He now knows that there is an end to his life. … He now believes that he is still on this earth to make a difference while he still can, and I think that is such a powerful thing.”

There was, however, one part of the speech that some of the hosts were concerned about.

Glenn says that when President Trump broached this particular subject, he found it “a little frightening.”

Iowa is poised to be first in the nation — again!



My little state of Iowa has played a pivotal role in shaping national politics for decades. It began in 1976 with the Iowa caucuses, where many viewed Ronald Reagan as a washed-up politician. Yet, the former California governor challenged a sitting president in the state’s first-ever caucus, setting off political reverberations that reshaped the Republican Party and American politics.

That same year, a little-known Georgia governor, Jimmy Carter, pulled off a major upset in Iowa, launching his path to the presidency. Decades later, Barack Obama’s road to the White House likely would have ended if he hadn’t defeated Hillary Clinton in the Hawkeye State. Iowa also made history by becoming the first state to remove three Supreme Court justices in a retention election, rejecting their ruling on same-sex marriage and striking a blow against the canard of judicial supremacy.

The gloves are off, and lawmakers are being reminded that what may have been a safe election in the past might not stay that way in the future.

Now, with fewer than four million residents, Iowa again has a chance to shift the nation’s political direction. This week, the Iowa Legislature is poised to make it the first state to strip gender identity protections from its civil rights code. And you can bet if this happens in Iowa, the impact will extend far beyond our borders, shaping the national political debate for years to come.

“It’s pretty simple,” said Chuck Hurley, vice president and chief legal counsel for the Family Leader family policy center. “A male is a man, a female is a woman. Gender identity, which was put into the Iowa Civil Rights Code in 2007, 18 years ago, has been a pathetic mistake. It’s allowed men into women’s spaces. It’s forced taxpayers to spend several million dollars on mutilating healthy body parts of people.”

So in a state where Democrats are vastly outnumbered and with President Donald Trump providing more cover than ever before on this issue by slaying Maine’s governor for her trans madness in broad daylight last week, why worry? Well, for the same reason as always: feckless Republicans.

“We already had two Republicans who have gone on the record in opposition to the bill,” said Josiah Oleson, the Family Leader’s elections director. “What’s interesting is you would expect that those Republicans would come from a weak suburban seat that is going to be a tough re-election. But the two who have actually bailed both come from pretty Republican seats that voted for Trump by heavy margins this last fall.”

“So you’re left with the option that they might actually believe this ideology, which is just ridiculous,” Oleson continued. “One of the legislators in the statement he put out in opposition to the bill said that he was afraid that if we didn't allow people to put their preferred gender on their birth certificate, that it might be a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.”

Imagine the reaction if someone had made this argument about gender just a few decades ago — let alone in the 19th century. Anyone pushing such a position now should resign from the legislature out of shame.

Fortunately for supporters of the bill, Hurley and Oleson believe there aren’t enough opponents to block its passage. But they also know how quickly fear can spread, so they’re taking no chances. The gloves are off, and lawmakers are being reminded that what may have been a safe election in the past might not stay that way in the future.

“Looking at the legislators we're concerned about, all but one or two of them didn't even have a primary opponent when they ran this last time,” Oleson said. “But we’re talking about a fundamental issue here that if we can’t agree that a man is a man and a woman is a woman in the conservative movement, then what are we even doing here?”

Hurley added that in his 35 years fighting for legislation at the Iowa State Capitol, one of the biggest problems Republicans have always had is "the people who run for office just because they want to be liked and they get in there and they realize, ‘Uh-oh, we’ve got a very polarized culture. Not everybody likes me anymore.’”

Do they really not understand that calling themselves Republicans won’t win them votes from the transgender mob? Well, let’s make darn sure this time we make them understand. While I’d like to believe strong arguments alone could accomplish that, my experience in broadcasting has shown me that sunlight is the best medicine for the nicer-than-God Republican when he is about to do something really stupid.

Every Iowan should take note of which legislators refuse to act in the wake of the recent federal election landslide. Voters in states like Arizona, Alabama, and South Carolina will be watching to see how Iowa leads with unapologetic clarity and conviction.

As I said before, Iowa has long set national trends, for better or worse. But now, as we debate fundamental issues of reality and decency, we cannot afford to falter. Iowa must lead.

'Without Rush, you may not have Trump': David Limbaugh and Steve Deace drill down on radio legend’s legacy, faith



Rush Limbaugh, the founding father of conservative talk radio, succumbed to lung cancer on Feb. 17, 2021, at the age of 70.

The Medal of Freedom recipient, whose show aired to tens of millions of listeners for over three decades on hundreds of radio stations, has been credited by friend and foe alike with helping set the stage for a figure like President Donald Trump and activating multitudes of conservatives who previously felt politically isolated.

David Limbaugh, an attorney and conservative commentator, spoke to the host of BlazeTV's "Steve Deace Show" on the episode airing Tuesday about Rush Limbaugh's temporal journey to prominence and his ultimate journey to Christ.

Limbaugh underscored — now four years after his brother's passing — that Rush not only blazed the way for subsequent generations of conservative commentators but demonstrated how to wed authenticity and passion and how to endure terminal illness with great fortitude.

— (@)

Bequeathal

At the outset of the interview, Steve Deace asked Limbaugh what immediately came to mind about his older brother's legacy.

"He created a cottage industry. He actually created a genre of talk radio, conservative talk, and he had done this after honing his skills throughout his life and with many trials and tribulations," said Limbaugh.

Limbaugh noted that while there were signs early in Rush's life — perhaps now more apparent in review — that he was well suited for broadcasting and had a "genius" when it came to the recorded word, he faced expectations to chart a more conventional course professionally. Their father, for instance, apparently wanted Rush to become a lawyer or something of the sort. After all, the men of Missouri's Limbaugh family had in previous centuries often been judges, attorneys, and legislators.

Despite the urging of his father and other external pressures, Limbaugh indicated that Rush "knew what he wanted to do" and went for it.

In the end, he became something of an ideological tuning fork.

"Any time people wanted to know what true north was in a conservative sense, they could turn him on," added the attorney.

"His personal legacy, in my opinion, is overcoming all the challenges that were placed in his way because he had a passion, an irrepressible passion, to do what he wanted to do, and he fought through it, and he finally succeeded in a big way to become the best in the world at what he did," Limbaugh told Deace.

'[Rush] was never play-acting. It was sincere.'

Limbaugh suggested that by doing so, Rush "opened the floodgates" for others who admired what he was doing and understood the potential for emulation.

While Rush's show proved revelatory for other would-be conservative hosts, Limbaugh told Deace that it proved in many cases to be a wake-up call for listeners, revealing to Americans nationwide that they were not alone in their conservative outlook.

Limbaugh suggested that Trump's engagement with Americans, particularly those neglected by the mainstream media and deceived into thinking themselves ideologically outnumbered on issues such as immigration and gender ideology, greatly paralleled Rush's engagement with listeners.

"'I can't believe someone's got a national platform saying the things that I believe and finally contradicting the lies, and the deceit, and the insane liberal ideology that we hear on our news every day,'" said Limbaugh, articulating the initial response some listeners may have had to "The Rush Limbaugh Show" or possibly also to Trump in the 2016 Republican primaries.

A special ability to connect with those ignored or vilified by the mainstream was not the only parallel Limbaugh raised between Trump and his brother.

"[Rush] was never play-acting. It was sincere. Everything he did was sincere," said Limbaugh. "But he was so passionate about what he did, so loved broadcasting, so loved interacting with his audience. And he did understand his audience, I think, better than any host I've ever been around — and I've been around a lot.”

"He knew he had a bond with them," continued Limbaugh. "This really came to light — crystallized for me — when I noticed that he, ahead of many others, saw something in Trump, particularly the attraction he had with his audience and the bond that he forged with his audience. And Rush would say, 'There's only one person who could break the bond that Trump has with his audience, and that is Trump himself, because no amount of third-party attacks are going to influence that,' and that turned out to be prescient."

Limbaugh suggested that Rush's observation about the audience bond, whether intentionally or not, was also a little bit of projection on his brother's part.

Besides certain commonalities, Limbaugh suggested that his brother helped whet the appetite for Trump, stating, "I think without Rush, you may not have Trump."

"I don't want to be presumptuous and take anything away from Trump. I just think he opened the path for what has ultimately come to be here," added Limbaugh.

Following Rush's death, Trump said, "He was with me right from the beginning. And he liked what I said, and he agreed with what I said. And he was just a great gentleman. Great man."

"He was a very unique guy," continued Trump. "And he had tremendous insight. He got it. He really got it."

Inheritance

In their wide-ranging conversation, Deace appeared keen to discuss mortality and the manner in which Rush publicly approached his own.

Limbaugh suggested that whereas he himself had intellectual doubts early in life about Christ, his brother did not have the same problem, though he may not have been especially engaged faith-wise early on. In any event, Limbaugh observed in his brother a "deep interest" that continued to grow over course of his life.

The attorney indicated that whatever the state of his brother's faith in the first six decades of his life, it was abundantly clear that in his final years, especially after his terminal diagnosis, Rush "totally accepted Christ."

'I have no question of where his eternal destiny is.'

"He talked about it openly. He talked about how he prayed every day," said Limbaugh. "He actually talked to God 24 hours a day like we're supposed to."

Despite the knowledge that he was dying, his brother seemed to be at peace, Limbaugh indicated.

"He really was optimistic, and he wasn't fatalistic, and he wasn't negative about his own impending death," said the attorney. "And he knew — he knew he was going to die.”

David noted that his brother suffered terribly in his final year, especially since the chemotherapy treatments he was undergoing didn't take, leaving him with him with intolerable swelling and other side effects.

"He suffered so much physically during that period, during the last year of his life, that it is a tribute to his fortitude and his commitment to his audience, his commitment to the country that he powered through and kept doing it," said Limbaugh. "The way he fought cancer and the way he insisted on doing what he does and staying true to the audience — that was just an inspiration and remarkable to me."

Limbaugh emphasized to Deace, "He came very close to Christ during those years, so that I have no question of where his eternal destiny is."

Latest DISTURBING COVID vaccine data reveals just how much work RFK Jr. has to do



Recent reports from a team of immunologists at Yale University indicate that some COVID jab patients experienced “immune system exhaustion and prolonged spike protein production.”

What does that mean?

In the words of journalist Alex Berenson, who’s been reporting on these latest scientific findings, it means “bad news. Very bad.”

— (@)

Steve Deace dives into the latest findings.

According to the study, some patients who received the vaccine developed AIDS — acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

“The word 'acquired' there is key,” says Steve. “What the Yale study finds is that people who did not previously demonstrate these sorts of immune deficiencies began demonstrating them with prolonged exposure.”

Further, “they have no idea how long the spike protein stays in your system,” Steve explains, adding that the “experts” lied about this from the get-go when they told everyone “it stays in your arm.”

Back in 2021 when the mandates began, Steve warned his audience that taking the jab was Russian roulette. Four years later, the science agrees.

Actually, the science has agreed for the last several years, but instead of admitting that the vaccine had adverse side effects, some officials pitched “long COVID” — health problems that persist or develop after someone has COVID-19.

This Yale study, however, is “the first time that a high official study is attributing it uniquely now to the jab,” says Steve.

“RFK Jr. has got to take these shots off the market.”

“I don't know what all pomp and circumstance and I-dotting and T-crossing is required for such a thing to occur, but as soon as such a thing can occur, it needs to happen,” says Steve.

DataRepublican exposes 'uniparty' government thriving beyond taxpayer reach in first-ever interview with Steve Deace



Last week, during her first-ever public interview, DataRepublican spoke with Steve Deace on BlazeTV's "Steve Deace Show."

DataRepublican, a database kernel engineer who develops machine learning algorithms, has leveraged her platform on X to expose the federal government's egregious and corrupt spending practices.

'The system exists outside of our control, and we need to get it back.'

"I wanted to make sure we did this interview, first and foremost, just to say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' What you have done with this work the last few weeks has been nothing short of extraordinary," Deace told DataRepublican.

DataRepublican, who is deaf and nonverbal, responded through her translator, explaining that she decided to release the awards database, USASpending.gov, on her own website after finding that it was "really, really hard to search." She aimed to make it significantly easier for people to navigate and gain a clearer picture of federal government spending.

"Now my tool has become very popular and went absolutely viral," DataRepublican added.

She described the network of nongovernmental organizations and federal grants as "incredibly complex," noting that analyzing the depth of potential waste, fraud, and abuse would likely be impossible without artificial intelligence tools.

"It's really a soft power structure that was built around these eight core NGOs with the NED — that's the National Endowment for Democracy," DataRepublican continued. "That's really at the center. And it's an organization that President [Donald] Trump just defunded."

She explained that the NED and its partnership with the NGOs were initially created to unite Republicans and Democrats in combatting communism. However, it never disbanded after the Soviet Union's collapse. Instead, the mission was "rebranded" as "defenders of democracy."

"They literally became a government all to themselves," DataRepublican stated.

The "parallel government" operates beyond taxpayer control, she added.

"What was the most just weird and disturbing thing for me was finding the existence of what I'm calling a true uniparty. The uniparty is real," she continued.

DataRepublican explained that the NED "accidentally created a system where both parties operate together under the same umbrella."

"But at the same time, they're pretending to be opponents," she said.

She argued that most Americans do not feel they are receiving the benefits they pay for as taxpayers, suggesting that the funds must be going elsewhere.

"Where is the money going? It's not just vanishing into thin air. One person, somebody, is benefitting from this. And when you see that these politicians in Congress are designed to have these moderate salaries and then they leave as millionaires, you have to ask, 'Huh, is that really a coincidence?'" she continued.

Deace asked DataRepublican whether any so-called Christian churches are "directly involved in the grift pyramid."

She explained that "many churches" have accepted funding from the United States Agency for International Development, noting that restrictions prevent them from using the funds for evangelism.

"Christianity is built specifically on one great commission, and Jesus was very clear about that — about spreading the gospel. And it's hard to imagine Him accepting funding that required Jesus to stay silent about faith," she continued.

DataRepublican further explained that because churches are not required to file a Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, they have less financial transparency.

"That alone might make church government funding an attractive option for more cynical players, you know, bad actors who may not be motivated by religious beliefs," DataRepublican said. "I personally would be very skeptical of any Christian church which accepts USAID money or any federal funding."

She declared, "We are in the middle of the second American Revolution. I am not joking. The American public needs to engage and recognize that this is not about partisanship."

"The system exists outside of our control, and we need to get it back," DataRepublican concluded.

SCANDAL: ICE has a leak problem



On the latest “what happened while we were away” segment of the “Steve Deace Show,” producer Aaron McIntire revealed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been thwarted not once but three times when internal rats leaked raid information to the media, allowing violent illegal alien criminals to escape deportation.

“This weekend we saw at least the third leak to media foil a massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation,” says McIntire.

Over the weekend, “the L.A. Times somehow got their hands on government documents spelling out ICE plans for a large raid in that city.”

A couple of weeks ago, it was raid plans for Chicago and Aurora, Colorado, that were leaked to national media.

Who are these malicious insiders working against the Trump administration?

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blamed the FBI for the leaks. Yesterday, she tweeted:
