Harrison Butker endorses Josh Hawley

Last spring, Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker drew the rather of feminists when he talked about the virtues of stay-at-home moms. At the time, it was obvious that he wasn't advocating for women to choose this option exclusively. He was speaking at a Catholic university and he was speaking about his wife only.

Fast forward to this campaign. With this being Kansas City's bye week, Butker chose to endorse Sen. Josh Hawley. In fact, Hawley "is appearing with Harrison Butker, the Kansas City Chief’s kicker, at three stops throughout the state on Thursday, including one in Parkville. Hawley has also sent two fundraising emails touting an endorsement from the Super Bowl winning kicker." Butker didn't send out some milquetoast endorsement email either. Butker didn't send out some milquetoast endorsement email endorsing Sen. Hawley either. Butker didn’t hide his Christian faith or his political and societal beliefs.

Butker wrote “He’s not just a Senator; he’s a devout Christian, a family man, and a fighter for so much we hold dear. Josh Hawley is relentless in defending religious rights, fighting for the Constitution, and standing up for the most vulnerable among us—the unborn."

Harrison Butker took to the campaign trail:

Standing up for his beliefs is the definition of masculinity. Butker is comfortable with who he is. While he isn't trying to offend people with different beliefs, Butker isn't afraid to express his beliefs.
Even before his commencement speech, Butker, a conservative Catholic, had made some of his political views clear. During the Chiefs’ first visit to the White House after winning the Super Bowl, Butker wore a pin and tie that were representative of the anti-abortion movement.
In Chapter 24 of the book of Joshua in the Old Testament it says "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of [d]the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Harrison Butker is simply choosing to lead his family like the Prophet Joshua led his family. Because Joshua followed the LORD faithfully, the LORD blessed him.

It's great to see Sen. Hawley getting endorsed by a principled man like Harrison Butker.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
