When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Christian nationalism is a plague, spreading globally. It must be stopped. Thirty years ago, Christian Nationalism in the United States was a fringe. Today it sits in the White House. This month, hundreds of masked men blockaded Dover and then Portsmouth, chanting 'Christ is King'.
