Pastor John MacArthur: 'Which Party will uphold God's design for government?'

Pastor John MacArthur: "No Christian can vote for a coalition--an earthly, powerful, social, political machine--that reverses that. That sets out to punish those who do good and protect those who do evil. When you see that, it's pretty clear who to vote for. The current pattern of the Democratic Party is trending in the reverse direction of God's design for Government."

FBI chief James Comey should resign

In early 2013 upon leaving her post as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was required by law to turn over all work related emails to the State Department to assure she, and they, complied with public records laws and could appropriately respond to any Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

What if Hillary Clinton wins?

The cat is out of the bag. The public pressure is growing to the extent that even if Hillary Clinton is elected president, it is doubtful that she will be able to serve.

As Russia ties fray, Hillary bears the blame

Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party have made a big stink charging that Russian intelligence agencies or their proxies are behind the leak of DNC emails to WikiLeaks and the subsequent implosion of her candidacy. Some say President Vladimir Putin himself authorized these leaks, and we don't have access to the intelligence to say for sure what's going on.

No Hillary Clinton, no status quo

Although the words "status quo" will not appear on any ballots this election cycle, voters will nonetheless be forced to make the binary decision between doubling down on the status quo by voting for Hillary Clinton, or pivoting toward meaningful change and a course correction for the country by voting for Donald Trump.

A tale of two parties

The 2016 race for the presidency will go down as the most unbelievable election in the history of the United States. The battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has turned nasty. But even more than turning nasty, it has shown a fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals.

Robert D'Andrea, a retired Army major and Iraq war veteran, holds a frame with a photo of his team on his first deployment to Iraq on Friday, Oct. 21, 2016 in his home in Los Angeles.  Nearly 10,000 California National Guard soldiers have been ordered to repay huge enlistment bonuses a decade after signing up to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The Pentagon demanded the money back after audits revealed overpayments by the California Guard under pressure to fill ranks and hit enlistment goals. If soldiers refuse, they could face interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens,  D'Andrea said he was told to repay his $20,000 because auditors could not find a copy of the contract he says he signed.

Vets deserve more than a 'thank you'

"Thank you for your service" has become the conventional way to greet a uniformed soldier you might meet in an elevator or in line at Starbucks. So when the public learned that the government was demanding refunds of the enlistment bonuses soldiers received for signing up to serve in the Iraq war, the injustice was simply too much to bear. Public outcry reached the ears of members of Congress, and they responded.

Election sprint to the finish

I have been doing a number of media interviews lately, and the question always arises, "Who is going to win the election, Hillary or Trump?"
