'time for them to start protecting the citizens'

As revelations about former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol protest come to light, an investigation of the investigator could go in several different directions.  Those directions include criminal charges against certain Justice Department personnel, civil rights lawsuits against federal agencies, a judicial impeachment, and presidential pardons, legal experts say.  The Senate has been investigating a weaponized Justice Department under President Joe Biden, and a whistleblower has provided information about the conduct of the Smith investigation, dubbed “Arctic Frost,” into then-former President Donald Trump and his dispute with the outcome of the 2020 election. Earlier this month, the Senate Judiciary Committee released a set of documents—separate from the ones the whistleblower provided—that show the Smith team collected cellphone data from nearly a dozen Republican senators.  This week, Republican senators released 197 subpoenas that Smith’s investigative team issued in 2023 as part of its case against Trump that also seemed to encompass numerous people and organizations in Trump’s orbit.  The subpoenas were provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, by a whistleblower and were directed at 34 individuals and 163 businesses. Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, released the documents Wednesday.  Smith’s subpoenas sought broad information, including the communications of several Republican senators, conservative organizations, and multiple individuals supporting Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection.  The Smith team sought communications with media companies; communications with “any member, employee, or agent of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government;” communications with White House advisors such as Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, and others; data on Republican donors and fundraising efforts; and broad financial data relating to conservative individuals and entities, including credit reports.  Here are four things to expect from the congressional probe of the Smith prosecution of Trump.  1. Impeaching Judge Boasberg On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called for the impeachment of Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.  Boasberg signed off on a gag order in 2023 to prevent businesses that were subpoenaed from informing their clients. That included preventing AT&T from notifying Cruz that his cellphone records were being collected by investigators.  Cruz said there were no facts or evidence to justify such a gag order and added, “I am right now calling on the House of Representatives to impeach Judge Boasberg.” Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, which would oversee a judicial impeachment, posted on X, “Working on it,” in response to Cruz’s call.  Working on it https://t.co/j8i0F0ARFE— Congressman Brandon Gill (@RepBrandonGill) October 30, 2025 Gill and other House Republicans previously supported separate articles of impeachment against Boasberg, a Barack Obama appointee to the court, because earlier this year, Boasberg issued orders prohibiting the Trump administration from deporting alleged illegal alien gang members.  Boasberg’s office did not respond to inquiries from The Daily Signal for this story. Judges typically do not comment to the media. 2. Presidential Pardons? The subpoenas Grassley and Johnson released reveal that Smith’s team had a significant interest in a group of alternate Electoral College electors who had been charged by state prosecutors.  After Trump disputed the outcome of the 2020 election, a group of alternate electors convened in seven states and cast their votes for Trump.  The electors, in theory, were supposed to step in if the Trump campaign could prove election fraud or if the joint session of Congress that was supposed to certify the electors and their votes did not accept the official set of electors certified by the states. The states were Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania.  The Democrat attorneys general in three of those states, as well as the Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney’s Office, secured grand jury indictments against the contingent electors. The charges were typically for alleged forgery, impersonating a public officer, attempting to file false documents, and conspiracy to commit election fraud. At least four times in the newly released 197 subpoenas, those who received the subpoenas were asked for records of communications “to, from, with, or including any of the” alternate electors listed and “the extent that the communication or document relates in any way” to the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Smith’s team sought records ranging from Oct. 1, 2020, through Jan. 20, 2021. “President Trump should pardon all of the electors with a criminal indictment,” Cleta Mitchell, a senior legal fellow and founder of the Election Integrity Network with the Conservative Partnership Institute, told The Daily Signal. She noted Smith’s team used the investigation to scoop up vast amounts of information on Republican senators and various conservative organizations.  “The entire case was predicated on the alternative electors,” Mitchell said. “How it went from there to the entire Republican Party and conservative movement is beyond me.” Mitchell’s name was mentioned several times throughout subpoenas as the Smith team sought her communications and even her credit report.  “At some point, maybe because they were running out of time, they got Democrat AGs [attorneys general] in four states to bring charges,” she said. “They were acting as a proxy for the Biden administration.” Although the charges against the electors were at the state level, Mitchell said the cases were clearly directed by the Smith investigation and the Justice Department. She thinks Trump should pardon the electors and let the states attempt to challenge the pardon.  “Do these states want a discovery process to demonstrate how closely they coordinated with the Biden administration?” Mitchell asked.  The Daily Signal reached out to the attorneys general offices of Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, as well as the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. None responded as of publication time.  3. Criminal or Civil Accountability? There is the potential for criminally prosecuting Justice Department personnel who were part of Smith’s investigative team, said Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project, a watchdog group.  The charge of conspiracy against rights would apply anytime two or more individuals plotted to threaten, injure, or intimidate another American to prevent him from exercising his constitutional rights—in this case, the right to free speech and freedom of assembly, as well as the right against unreasonable searches and seizures. “The federal code does not contemplate this type of nefarious activity from the FBI or the DOJ,” Howell told The Daily Signal. “There is not a neat statutory application for this. To de-weaponize the government, you need more statutory safeguards. You have a law on conspiracy against rights. There should be more.” Howell said officials involved in Arctic Frost should be removed and then charged.  He anticipates more disclosures from the Justice Department and the FBI relative to the Smith investigation. However, he would like to see far more disclosures than he anticipates will actually come out.  “Our definition of wholesale accountability is not being matched by the current political leadership,” Howell said. “We want to see firings. Or, in the meantime, while waiting for firings, reassignments [to other positions].” While the bar for criminal prosecutions of government abuse of power is high, there is a clear case for civil rights lawsuits, said Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow with The Heritage Foundation. “There were potential civil rights violations by the Justice Department and FBI with all of the people targeted,” von Spakovsky told The Daily Signal. “They should consider [pursuing] both the federal agency and individuals for litigation.” 4. How Will Jack Smith Testify? Smith’s attorneys, Lanny Breuer and Peter Koski, did not respond to inquiries from The Daily Signal, nor did their employer, the law firm of Covington and Burling. CBS News first reported last week that Breuer and Koski wrote both Grassley and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, requesting that Smith be allowed to publicly testify about his investigation. “Given the many mischaracterizations of Mr. Smith’s investigation into President Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Mr. Smith respectfully requests the opportunity to testify in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees,” the lawyers wrote.  They added that their client “steadfastly adhered to established legal standards and Department of Justice guidelines, consistent with his approach throughout his career as a dedicated public servant.”  Grassley responded to Smith’s lawyers in a letter last week that asserted the committee is still gathering records but said, “In the meantime, there are preliminary questions that you can answer now.”  The letter asked several questions, including what roles the Biden White House and Attorney General Merrick Garland played in the case.  A public hearing for Smith to justify himself will not produce more facts, von Spakovsky said. “There needs to be a deposition of him questioned by skilled lawyers who can get to the root of what he was doing, not a forum where every senator has just five minutes of questions” for him.  The post 4 Likely Next Steps From Congressional Probe of Jack Smith and ‘Arctic Frost’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.

With Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits set to stop Nov. 1, 19 state attorneys general, led by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, have sent an “urgent” letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Schumer has been roundly blamed for what has been dubbed the “Schumer Shutdown,” thanks to his refusal to back a House-passed continuing resolution, and Democrats are coming under increasing pressure to bring the shutdown to a close. The shutdown is about to enter its first full month. What’s in the Letter? The one-page letter begins with the attorneys general requesting “urgent humanitarian assistance for the Americans [they] represent,” especially as “millions of Americans” will lose access to SNAP benefits on Saturday. In Ohio, that’s about 1.4 million Americans. Highlighting how the shutdown is the result of squabbles in Washington, the letter continues by noting that the loss of benefits “means working parents, senior citizens and people with disabilities will be left wondering how to put food on the table while Washington argues.” Thus, the request for a clean continuing resolution. “Congress can stop the threat right now by passing a clean continuing resolution that keeps essential services funded and protects those who rely on them. You have the power to prevent a crisis that is entirely avoidable,” the letter continues. The letter also uses Schumer’s own remarks and Congress’ past actions against the Democrat leader. “As you have said yourself, keeping the government open requires cooperation, not partisanship. Thatprinciple should apply now more than ever. A clean resolution is not a political concession; it is theresponsible thing to do. Congress has passed such measures 13 times—including once last year—underunified Democratic control. Refusing to do so now is not leadership; it’s leverage at the expense of themost vulnerable,” the letter continued. The conclusion repeated the need to pass a clean continuing resolution, noting that it “would prevent avoidable harm and show that Washington can still come together to help those who need it most.” The letter is overall heavy on the urging. “Letting those benefits lapse while political negotiations drag on would send the wrong message to every working parent and senior who plays by the rules,” the state attorneys general write about SNAP. The attorneys general “implore [Schumer] to leave the politicking for another day” and “to act quickly and do what you know is right.” AG Yost joined by 18 other state attorneys general are urging U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to act immediately to prevent the 42 million Americans who benefit from SNAP from going hungry. Details: https://t.co/QkzxYtNFMN pic.twitter.com/GMRPLAIBS2— Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (@OhioAG) October 28, 2025 Yost was joined by Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, George Attorney General Christopher M. Carr, Kansas Attorney General Kris W. Kobach, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, Missouri Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers, North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley, Oklahoma Attorney General Genter Drummond, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, South Dakota Attorney General Marty J. Jackley, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Utah Attorney General Derek Brown, Virginia Attorney General Jason S. Miyares, and West Virginia Attorney General John B. McCuskey. It’s More Than Just This Letter Yost further stressed a need to end the shutdown in a statement for The Daily Signal. “No family should go hungry because Washington lacks the appetite for consensus. It is imperative that Congress takes immediate action to ensure the continuation of SNAP funding. The wellbeing of countless Americans hinges on their actions, and the time to prevent further suffering is now,” he said. Another Ohioan, Republican Sen. Jon Husted also similarly used Schumer’s own words against him during a tele town hall event earlier this week with Americans for Prosperity’s Ohio chapter. He, too, addressed concerns about the loss of SNAP benefits for those 1.4 million Ohioans. Democrats view Americans harmed by the the government shutdown as “leverage.” We need 5 more Senate Democrats to join us to make the responsible decision, reopen the government, and give Americans the benefits they rely on. pic.twitter.com/FeFBZHeG65— Senator Jon Husted (@SenJonHusted) October 29, 2025 The phrasing about “leverage” is one that Democrats in Congress have themselves used, including Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island similarly referred to his party having a “lever” in the shutdown. How’s This Going for Democrats, and SNAP? Democrats have harped on blaming Republicans for the threat to government assistance programs such as SNAP. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain, R-Mich. got into it over X about such blame. Oh spare us the lies, @hakeemjeffries.No one “cut” SNAP — Republicans voted to restore work requirements for able-bodied adults with no kids. That’s called accountability, not cruelty.You’d rather play shutdown politics to appease your communist extremist buddy… https://t.co/osX11GaSCA— Lisa McClain (@LisaForCongress) October 30, 2025 The Democrat shutdown strategy may not be working out too well for them, however, especially as they look to be wavering in their unity. The battle over SNAP may be what causes an end to the shutdown, and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., who has bucked his party by voting to fund the government, has warned about the effect of a loss of SNAP benefits. As for SNAP, The Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neil has offered a proposal for private charities and non-profits to step up to not only fill the gap during the shutdown, but to use the opportunity to develop a non-government system to help move SNAP recipients from dependency to self-reliance. O’Neil also reported on how Republicans have offered up a bill to fund SNAP during the shutdown. About 1.4 million Ohioans rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Five Senate Democrats could end this shutdown today by joining us to reopen the government and fund SNAP benefits. But for now, Ohio families shouldn't have to pay the price for Democrats’ political games.… pic.twitter.com/IdNDmqaSuG— Senator Jon Husted (@SenJonHusted) October 28, 2025 The post State Attorneys General Join Together to Call for End to Shutdown appeared first on The Daily Signal.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. YouTube is preparing another round of content restrictions, this time targeting video game footage that shows what the company describes as “graphic violence.” Beginning November 17, the platform will begin placing age limits on certain videos so that only users over 18 and those logged into verified accounts can view them. The policy is aimed at clips where “realistic human characters” are depicted in “mass violence against non-combatants” or in scenes involving torture. The company says it will review several factors when deciding whether to restrict a video. The duration of a violent scene, how prominently it’s displayed, and whether the violence involves lifelike characters will all play a role. YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle explained that “certain content may be age-restricted if it’s non-fleeting or zoomed in,” noting that creators could alter how they approach a game’s mission to prevent an age restriction. “There may be ways the creator can choose to play the mission to avoid content that would lead to an age restriction,” he said. Bullwinkle also pointed out that creators can blur or obscure violent elements to keep their videos unrestricted. The new approach builds on YouTube’s existing rules, which already limit “dramatized violence” depicting torture or severe injury but generally allow fictional or animated material to remain online. The current guideline reads, “Generally, we do not remove dramatized violence when the content or metadata lets us know that the content is fictional, or when it’s apparent from the content itself, such as with animated content or video games.” According to Bullwinkle, “YouTube’s policies are designed to adapt to the evolving digital world, and these updates reflect our ongoing commitment to protect younger users and foster a responsible platform.” Alongside the gaming restrictions, YouTube is tightening its rules on gambling-related content. Channels will no longer be allowed to direct viewers to gambling sites or activities involving digital items like NFTs, skins, or cosmetic upgrades. Earlier this year, the company banned creators from referencing unapproved gambling platforms and began blocking gambling videos for users under 18. That policy is now being expanded to include social casino content as well. What YouTube calls “responsible policy updates” will inevitably limit access to certain gaming and entertainment videos, continuing a broader pattern of gatekeeping under the guise of safety. Governments around the world have been pushing platforms to adopt stronger online age verification systems, citing child protection and “digital safety” as top priorities. From the UK’s Online Safety Act to emerging EU digital media regulations, officials are increasingly pressuring platforms like YouTube to ensure minors cannot access content deemed “harmful,” even when that content is artistic, fictional, or part of mainstream gaming culture. YouTube’s new restrictions on violent video game footage appear to be part of this wider shift, an effort to stay ahead of regulatory scrutiny by tightening access before lawmakers step in with mandates. This growing demand for age verification has significant implications for creators and viewers alike. YouTube’s upcoming rules mean that many popular gaming channels could find their videos walled off behind an age gate, requiring users to sign in with verified personal information. In regions where governments are exploring identity-linked verification systems, this could even mean handing over official documents or biometric data just to watch a gameplay clip. The result would be a more fragmented platform, one where entire genres of gaming content, from first-person shooters to story-driven RPGs, become less visible or effectively hidden from unverified viewers.

Regular collars can become deadly traps when dogs get caught on branches, fences, or playground equipment. A dog breakaway safety collar releases under pressure, potentially saving your pet’s life during outdoor adventures. We at DogingtonPost have researched the market to help you find the perfect balance between security and safety. The right breakaway collar keeps your dog secure during walks while protecting them from strangulation hazards. How Do Breakaway Collars Actually Work A breakaway collar contains a specialized buckle mechanism that releases when 5 to 15 pounds of pressure applies to it, depending on the collar’s strength rating. The KeepSafe Break-Away Collar uses a patented safety buckle that automatically detaches during emergencies, then easily reattaches for continued use. Unlike quick-release collars that require manual operation, breakaway collars function automatically without human intervention. The Life-Saving Mechanism Behind Breakaway Design Professional dog facilities report that approximately 26,000 collar-related accidents occur annually, with over 50% of pet professionals who witness strangulation incidents during dog play. The breakaway mechanism prevents these tragedies through engineered failure points that activate before dangerous pressure builds up. Double D-ring systems on premium models allow you to safely use the collar with a leash while maintaining emergency protection during unsupervised time. Critical Situations That Demand Breakaway Protection Active dogs, multi-pet households, and dogs left unsupervised need breakaway collars immediately. Dog daycare facilities now require breakaway collars during playgroups because traditional collars create entanglement risks when dogs wrestle. Indoor dogs who spend time in crates, near fences, or around playground equipment face constant strangulation hazards that breakaway collars eliminate. Size and Breed Considerations for Maximum Safety Small breeds and dogs with delicate necks benefit most from the automatic release feature (typically 5-8 pound release tension), while larger dogs need stronger mechanisms (12-15 pounds). Outdoor adventurers require protection during trail exploration and off-leash activities where branches and obstacles pose constant threats. The next step involves understanding which specific features make certain breakaway collars superior to others in terms of durability and reliability. Essential Features That Make Breakaway Collars Work The release tension determines whether your breakaway collar saves your dog or fails when needed most. Bolder K9 offers three distinct strength levels: Lightweight at 5 pounds for small breeds, Upgraded at 8-12 pounds for medium dogs, and Reinforced at 12-15 pounds for larger breeds. The KeepSafe collar system uses precise breakaway points that activate consistently at predetermined pressure levels, while cheaper alternatives often fail to release or break too easily during normal activities. Material Quality That Prevents Collar Failure BioThane material is a high-performance synthetic material composed of a polyester webbing core coated with polyurethane, making it superior to traditional leather and nylon in breakaway collar applications. This waterproof synthetic material maintains consistent breakaway performance even after exposure to mud, water, and daily wear because it won’t crack, rot, or absorb odors that weaken the release mechanism over time. Nylon collars fray and weaken unpredictably, while leather develops stress points that compromise safety features. Metal hardware should use stainless steel or aluminum components that resist corrosion (rust buildup can prevent proper buckle release during emergencies). Buckle Systems That Actually Release When Needed Premium breakaway collars feature patented safety buckles that reattach easily after release, unlike basic plastic breakaway clasps that often break permanently during activation. The Atlas Quick-Release system combines standard buckles with specialized breakaway mechanisms, which allows normal leash attachment while it maintains emergency protection. COBRA buckles are lightweight aluminum side-release buckles that provide dependable release mechanisms for active dogs. Reattachment Speed After Emergency Release Avoid breakaway collars with complicated reattachment procedures, as emergency situations require immediate collar replacement after release incidents. Quality breakaway systems snap back together in seconds (the KeepSafe collar reattaches with a simple click mechanism). Complex multi-step reattachment processes create dangerous delays when you need to secure your dog quickly after a breakaway event. The best breakaway collars balance reliable emergency release with foolproof reconnection, which leads us to examine specific collar recommendations that excel in real-world performance. Which Breakaway Collars Actually Protect Your Dog The KeepSafe Break-Away Collar stands out as the most reliable option across all dog sizes, with its patented safety buckle that consistently releases at predetermined pressure levels and reattaches instantly after emergencies. Small breeds under 25 pounds need lightweight release mechanisms at 5-8 pounds of pressure, while medium dogs (25-60 pounds) require upgraded systems with 8-12 pound thresholds. Large breeds over 60 pounds demand reinforced breakaway mechanisms rated for 12-15 pounds to prevent accidental releases during normal activities while they maintain life-saving protection. Budget Options That Still Save Lives Bolder K9 offers breakaway collars that start at $23 and include three strength-rated options plus BioThane construction, which proves you don’t need premium prices for essential safety features. These budget-friendly models use the same waterproof synthetic materials as expensive alternatives and maintain consistent breakaway performance without leather cracks or nylon frays. Avoid bargain breakaway collars under $15 that use cheap plastic clasps, as these often break permanently during activation or fail to release when dogs need them most. Premium Features Worth Extra Investment Atlas Quick-Release BioThane collars with COBRA buckles justify higher costs through superior aluminum hardware that prevents corrosion-related failures and provides foolproof reattachment after emergency releases. Premium models include double D-ring systems that allow safe leash attachment while they preserve breakaway functionality, plus personalized identification options that help locate lost dogs after collar detachment incidents. The investment in premium breakaway collars pays for itself through enhanced durability and peace of mind (especially for active dogs who face daily strangulation risks during outdoor adventures). Size-Specific Recommendations for Maximum Safety Toy breeds and dogs with sensitive necks benefit most from soft cotton or velvet-lined breakaway collars that release at 5 pounds of pressure to prevent neck injuries during play. Medium-sized active dogs need 8-12 pound release mechanisms with waterproof BioThane construction that withstands daily exposure to mud and water without compromising safety features. Large working breeds require 12-15 pound breakaway systems with reinforced stitching and metal hardware that can handle their strength while still protecting them from entanglement hazards, though safe dog collar safety straps like martingale collars offer alternative protection by tightening only to preset limits. Final Thoughts Your dog’s safety depends on the right dog breakaway safety collar that matches their size, activity level, and environment. Small breeds need 5-8 pound release mechanisms, medium dogs require 8-12 pound systems, and large breeds demand 12-15 pound breakaway thresholds to prevent accidental releases. BioThane construction offers superior durability compared to leather or nylon alternatives that weaken over time. The KeepSafe Break-Away Collar and Bolder K9 models provide reliable emergency protection with instant reattachment capabilities after release incidents. These quality options eliminate the 26,000 annual collar-related accidents that threaten dogs during play and outdoor activities. Dog daycare facilities already require breakaway collars because they prevent entanglement injuries during group interactions (which proves their effectiveness in real-world situations). We at DogingtonPost recommend quality breakaway collars with proper release tension ratings for your dog’s weight. The peace of mind that comes from automatic protection against strangulation hazards makes breakaway collars essential safety equipment for responsible dog owners.

Abby Zwerner: 'I Thought I Was Dying'

Jon Karl to Newsom: You Know Your Friends Think You Have An 'American Psycho' Vibe, Right?

Texas pastor Dwight McKissic took to X to shockingly credit Democrats with lowering abortion rates — and suggested that God is concerned with protecting “the whole of life,” not just birth.“God can hit a straight lick with a crooked stick. The Democrats have actually reduced abortions more so than Republicans. In the sovereignty of God he is revealing to us, his ways are above our ways. Democracy [sic] who are pro-life understand that voting for Donald Trump was not going to save one baby,” McKissic wrote in a post on X.“Abortions have decreased when Democrats were in office, and increased when Republican presidents were/are in office. God is demonstrating to us, he is concerned about the whole of life ... not just pro-birth, but all aspects of life. God moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform,” he added.BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is not buying it.“This is a Democratic operative who calls himself a religious leader, who calls himself a Christian,” Whitlock says.“He’s co-signed and said, ‘Hey look, you know, even when we’re putting Planned Parenthoods everywhere, even when we’re putting abortion trucks outside the Democrat National Convention, hey, this is all working in conjunction with God. And the more babies we kill, the actual less babies die,’” he continues.“What Dwight McKissic is saying is actually reminiscent of what his contingent has been saying for a very long time,” BlazeTV contributor Chad Jackson says.“I remember when Roland Martin said something similar. ... He said that, ‘Well, Democrats are actually more pro-life than Republicans because we actually care about the entire life, the whole life. If you’re so pro-life, then why aren’t you supporting things like, you know, universal basic income?’” he adds.“And so, what he’s saying is that the only life worth living, if you are an unborn child coming into the world, is a life that is basically socialist in nature,” he continues.“And so, the fact of the matter is, Dwight McKissic is somebody who calls himself a pastor, but he has traded in his role as a pastor behind the pulpit for advancing a political agenda more so than advancing the kingdom of God. And it’s quite troubling because you see the same thing happening in many so-called black pulpits across this country and, I mean, they’re leading people straight to hell,” he says.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
