Pastors in Politics Can Save America

In this episode of The Sentinel Report, Alex is joined by pastor and Colorado State Representative Dr. Scott Bottoms to discuss the state of politics in the Centennial State and how pastoral engagement in politics can save America.

In the news, Alex covers:

1—Elon Musk rails against The New York Times for dismissing African leaders’ efforts to commit genocide by tweeting, "The New York Times actually has the nerve to support calls for genocide! If ever there was a time to cancel that publication, it is now."

I have been blowing the whistle on the South African genocide crisis for over a decade.

2—Just the interest payments on the national debt are almost $1 trillion. Watch this, going back to after WW2.

3--Texas Republican Congressmen say they will oppose DHS funding until Secretary Mayorkas is removed from office. "Why would we fund a federal government that is at war with the people of Texas? I will use every tool at my disposal to thwart giving another dollar to this secretary to leave Texas exposed," said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Austin).

4--Al Sharpton opens his mouth and inserts his foot while discussing American history. 

5--White House Purges 442 Reporters Using New Press Credential Rules Over the past three months, the number of reporters with access to the White House has dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted "hard pass"—the result of new rules announced in May that took effect Tuesday.

6--Governor Ron DeSantis has vowed to "start slitting throats on day one" if he is elected president.

The Florida Republican was in New Hampshire on Sunday when he made comments about getting tough on the "deep state," a phrase used by some conservatives to describe a supposed cabal of unelected officials who they claim are secretly steering government policy.

7--California is partnering with a Chinese province to fight climate change.
State officials met with their Chinese counterparts to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Thursday. The MOU outlines five areas of cooperation between California and Hainan:
Reducing air pollution
Developing and implementing climate adaptation and carbon neutrality plans
Advancing clean energy
Accelerating zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)
Creating nature-based solutions

Governor Gavin Newsom has also recently joined the governors of Washington, Oregon, and the Canadian province of British Columbia to "recommit the region to climate action," according to a release from the governor’s office.

"We are an ocean apart, but we share the same goals—leaving this planet better off for our kids and grandkids," Governor Newsom said about the MOU with Hainan on Thursday. "Working together with global partners like the province of Hainan, we stand a chance to address the existential crisis of climate change by cutting pollution and transitioning to clean energy."

8—A woman teaches others how to build altars to celebrate and meditate on killing their unborn children. She includes a container for the remains of the child.
