It's January 6th, 2021, the day that Congress will meet to vote on certifying the Electoral College results. It's a day that President Trump and conservatives have been looking to for some time. There are many opinions as to what may happen today. 

Most mainstream outlets will tell you that it does not seem likely anything happens. They say that nothing should happen given the Constitution and laws, but that is not exactly clear. Consideration has to be given to the Constitution, the Twelfth Amendment, and an obscure law. 

In the end, Jared believes Vice President Mike Pence faces a decision just like the rest of Congress. It's a big decision as to which side are they on. Are they on the side of America, or on the side of communism? Are they on the side of honest and fair elections, or are they on the side of big government, government expansion, and government restrictions. Jared says that it is time for everyone to make their decision as to which side they are on. 

Chris Cuomo made some more interesting comments this week, calling Sen. Marco Rubio "Bible boy" in a recent conversation. This is not the first time that he has went after Christians. He did a similar thing when he said Christians did not deserve to exist in mainstream society. He also discounted relationships with God last year saying that no one needed help from above. 

Jared asks the question what does Chris Cuomo have against Christians? Why does it seem he hates Christians? Rubio shares that the verses are part of the Catholic faith, which is what Cuomo himself declares to be. Yet, he still feels the need to attack faith. It's a reason to pray for him.

There is a new law being proposed in New York that would allow the constitutionally protected freedoms of Americans to be overridden in favor of public health. The law would give the governor of the state sole discretion on who is locked up and how long they are detained for. The law directly violates the 4th Amendment, but that's all part of the Democrat's plan. 

Democrats have used the pandemic to erode freedom since the beginning. Who would have thought in one year, Americans would be willing to give up their freedoms for a little bit of security. That's exactly what has happened. Now, Democrats are after their next power grab in an effort to continue to erode freedom. 

This is about much more than public health, this is about control. Joe Biden has already said he wants to declare gun violence a public health crisis. Doing so would enable him to go on a gun grab spree. With this law, New York could potentially lock up gun owners until they surrender their firearms. Could this be used against Christians or conservatives? Absolutely. That's why the law is so concerning. 

It also highlights the need for conservatives in Congress to stand up and object to the election results that will be presented. Many have come out and said that they will challenge the election results, while many spineless Republicans say they shouldn't. Evidence has been presented, and more evidence has been promised for Wednesday. All the while, the mainstream media ignores the evidence and gives false information to the American people. 

The ride to tyranny has hit a crossroads, and Wednesday could prove crucial to our country's future. President Trump has promised evidence and that the election will be overturned. While Jared is hopeful, he shares that Wednesday is a big day for the future of conservatives. Either it will be a huge win or one of the biggest disappointments and defeats ever.

There is a continued call to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act from 1996. Conservatives seem to have united behind the cause of eliminating the liability protection for big tech companies. It seems many do not have a full understanding of the law. 

The law does provide protections to conservatives and liberals alike. While social media may have been biased against conservatives, the elimination of Section 230 entirely would be a mistake. 

Jared explains the law and how it works. He explains the importance of how conservatives are also protected by the law. Then he starts taking a look at options to deal with the potential bias. 

There is one clause in the Section that Jared believes could be eliminated after a review. The law was written long before social media existed. With the changing of how we communicate, it seems likely that the law should be reviewed and this section specifically addressed. 

Jared then moves on to New York where Gov. Andrew Cuomo has again put elderly lives in danger. He is responsible for the deaths of many in New York early in the pandemic for how he handled the mandatory long-term care admission. He placed many lives in danger, but then denied he ever acted. 

This time, he has placed addicts in rehab ahead of those who are most vulnerable. Those who are elderly are more at risk from the virus, but Cuomo appears to believe that they are expendable. It's a sign that those in New York need to pay attention to and eliminate Cuomo from office.

The Christmas weekend was marred by the explosion in downtown Nashville in what appears to be a suicide bombing. As more details emerge, it appears to be tied to the 5G conspiracy theory. Jared shares more about the theory and why it is irrelevant without evidence.

Ignoring conspiracy is a gift by the mainstream media, however. Jared shares how they are so focused on defeating President Trump that they ignore actual disinformation that is going around that they could combat. This time, it resulted in an explosion where thankfully no bystander lives were lost. 

Florida also came into the crosshairs of the left this weekend as they targeted the state for failing to shut down amid the coronavirus pandemic. One tweet went out with data then the argument about how Florida was ground zero for coronavirus ensued. 

Except the story is not entirely true. Jared shares the numbers that show Florida's cases are in line with New York, New York City, and California, all of which have implemented some of the strictest lockdowns in the country. The lockdowns are not saving lives, are not preventing the spread, and are doing nothing for Americans. 

What the lockdowns are doing is destroying America's small businesses, they are destroying the American economy and forcing people into government dependence. Jared shares more detail as he argues to open the economy since the data shows the lockdowns are not making a difference.

Over 2,000 years ago, the world experienced an event that changed it forever. For Christians, we understand the birth of Christ and the important role that it plays in our faith and in our world. It's a crucial part of our faith.

There are a lot of similarities in the birth of Christ that we can find in our day today. We are in a situation in which there are a lot of unknowns for our country. We are facing the unknown with radical leaders, radical politicians who want to push us to communism. We are facing the left-wing agenda, that wants to remove our freedoms, disarm us, remove our ability to worship, and go about our lives as we want. It's an interesting time in our country.

In Luke 2 in the scriptures, you find some interesting similarities. Caesar Augustus, the Roman ruler from the day had ordered that everyone needed to be taxed and that they must return to their own city to be counted and taxed. Caesar Augustus was a leader of war, who was responsible for a massive expansion of the Roman empire. He was not someone that was friendly. He was a hard ruler.

It was a time of challenges. The situation for the Jews changed in just over 30 years after Jesus Birth, just as ours has changed over the last few decades. All of that said, one thing that the birth of Jesus did is show that there was hope for the future. No one during that day knew what was going to happen some 30 years later. Mary and Joseph knew that Jesus was being born for a special reason, but they had no idea how their lives would change in the coming years. This year, we've seen how quickly our world can change.

From a pandemic, riots and violence, a disputed election, and exposed corruption, this year has been full of craziness. As Christians, we can look to Christmas to see that even in the midst of craziness, we still have hope for the future. 

Just as the angel told those Shepherds in the field that night, we do not have to worry or fear as a Christian in the middle of all these unknowns. We can confidently stand in the middle of these unknowns and fight for the causes that we know are ones worth fighting for. Because we know that we have a hope that is well beyond the Republicans and the Democrats. It's something that neither party can take away from us this Christmas.

They want to take away and give away everything else we have, but this is one thing they can't. We must continue to stand against ridiculous spending. We need to continue to fight for our freedoms that are guaranteed by the Constitution. We need to continue to fight for the American voice, against election fraud, and silencing of viewpoints that may not go along with what the mainstream media and the left want. We need to continue to fight for the unborn and support life.

While things may look a little disappointing right now, we have to realize that we have a hope that is beyond all of the things in our world right now. Over 2,000 years ago we received the gift of a Savior, one that was born into this wicked world to give us hope.

The left celebrates the passage of a "coronavirus aid package" that looks more like a congressional wish list. While the bill was two packages in one, it provided a little of the aid that Congress wanted to pass for Americans while providing a lot of aid to things that really do not matter. 

What it helps us see is that the swamp still exists in Washington. President Trump set out to drain the swamp, but it's clear the swamp still exists. While he may have not succeeded, he did help us more readily identify the problem congressional members. 

There is little reason to believe that Americans support $25 million to the Kennedy Center, Billions to Jordan, Millions to Ukraine, Columbia, Mexico, or any of the other locations that aid was going. It's ridiculous to believe that Americans support sending $10 million for gender study programs in Pakistan. 

If we have so many issues in our own country as they claim, why are we not spending that money here at home? If we have extra money, why are we not focused on addressing the national debt issue? Or perhaps we could simply return the money to Americans. That would certainly boost the economy. 

Washington has a responsibility problem. These representatives believe they run the world when they really work for Americans. Americans control their destiny. Jared explains that he believes there is a movement coming. While the tea party movement was impressive, Jared shares he believes this will be a move of patriots to once again tell Congress who is in charge.

In his most recent monologue, Jimmy Kimmel berated and disrespected Vice President Mike Pence. Apparently, Kimmel continues to think that he is funny, even though most of the late-night ratings say otherwise.

Kimmel called Pence the vice poodle and said that Pence did not deserve his COVID vaccine. Instead, he suggested that Pence just be given a bottle of Clorox to drink and a heat lamp. In other words, he suggests that Pence should kill himself. That's exactly what the left is after; however, they want to make conservatives and conservatism a memory. 

A Senator recently said that anyone who questioned election results was worthy of death because of committing sedition and treason. She said that they were neglecting their constitutional obligations, but isn't that exactly what they are trying to defend? Are they not trying to make sure we have fair and honest elections? It's just more tactics by the left to build a case against conservatives. Jared explains more. 

Finally, Jared talks about the recent suggestion that vote reparations should happen. In a recent article, a professor said that votes by Black Americans should count twice in order to make them equal to white votes. He argues that this is the only method for reparations that will be acceptable as financial reparations are not approved because no one can agree how much should be given. 

The argument is not about how much reparations should be given, but instead that no one living today has suffered because of slavery. Not one single person lived during slavery and has suffered because of it. Many Black Americans have achieved the American dream by hard work and commitment. That's just the problem though, many of them do not want to work for it. They prefer it be given to them.

The University of Oregon finds itself in the middle of a political battle. Activists on the left want to remove College Republicans from being a recognized group at the school. Not because of their radical ideas or extremism. It's because they had a picture taken. 

The picture shows them at a stop the steal rally, where Proud Boys flags hang behind them. They were not dressed in the insignia, have openly denied supporting the Proud Boys, and denounce any involvement with them. But that's not good enough. It's not about the photo or the Proud Boys, it's about eliminating conservatives. 

The left ignored this strong talk against extremism recently when Biden's Press Secretary was photographed in communist insignia. They quickly forgot about that and moved on. It's only an issue when it's from the right because they cannot accept anyone that is against them. 

They continuously ignore corruption and extremism in their own party. Their leader, Joe Biden, refuses to call Antifa terrorists, they are just an idea. They refuse to acknowledge the issues with the Hunter Biden laptop story and how Joe Biden most likely profited millions off corrupt business dealings. That's not an issue, because he is not conservative. 

Our country is in a situation where conservative thought is needed now more than ever. More than just conservative thought, our country needs God more than ever. Sickening acts of liberals are all around us. From the latest video game that depicts killing pro-life women, law enforcement, clergy, and a fetus to the recent suggestion that gender should not be assigned at birth. Liberal ideas are destroying our country.

Jared shares how our country needs to get back to God and focus on standing up against evil. Evil is all around us. Conservatives and Christians alike need to speak out and stand up against it, just as the scripture teaches.

On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell congratulated Joe Biden as President-elect on the Senate floor. While McConnell had said he was backing President Trump, he quickly showed that he is no longer concerned with President Trump. He simply wants to move on and, in doing so, surrendered our country to the Democrats. Essentially, he is giving up on America. 

He chose to remain silent when America was looking for someone to stand strong behind the President. Instead of standing behind the President as he said he would, his actions show he was not behind the President at all. He mishandled the coronavirus aid package and hurt the President. Then after the damage was done, quickly decided an aid package was needed. There's still dispute whether the aid package is really needed or not, and Jared explains his point of view. 

He then told his colleagues to no longer question the election results. He told them to fall in line and attempt to get along with the Democrats. Yes, he told them our country is no longer worth fighting for and that they should simply surrender. 

Of course, he's not the first one, as Attorney General Barr also surrendered to the left amid the Hunter Biden story. He failed to share the story and sat on it. He knew that mainstream media and social media outlets were burying the story but remained silent. 

Facebook and Twitter both gave Joe Biden an immense amount of help in the election as they hid the Hunter Biden story. They sat on it, suppressed it, and kept Americans from hearing key information ahead of the election. While many have made comments against it, Jared has a unique point of view. 

Could these benefits provided to Joe Biden be considered campaign donations? If so, there are multiple federal laws violated in the process. A story is worth thousands of dollars on social media. These two major outlets buried the story, blocked those sharing it, knowing it was affecting the election. All the while, their executives were donating thousands to the Biden campaign. Should these actions be considered donations? 

Jared suggests there should be action, but he is not convinced anyone cares. Democrats have not cared about corruption as so many of them find themselves embroiled in it consistently. McConnell and the GOP are selling out and giving in. Rather than wanting to protect our country, they are willing to give it away for their own prosperity. 

Over the weekend, violence erupted across the country, especially at a rally in DC where thousands of Trump supporters turned out to express their opinion on the election results. Throughout the day, the protests were peaceful, but that quickly changed as the evening progressed. Mainstream media outlets chose to report that right-wing groups were causing issues with bystanders. Yes, they accused Trump supporters of attacking bystanders in DC. 

Except these were no bystanders at all. They were Black Lives Matter and Antifa groups that had shown up to cause problems. The mainstream media also honed in on the name Proud Boys as the group showed up as well. This is not to say that both groups were not at fault for some of the actions, but the overwhelming majority of the evidence and videos shown online prove that Antifa caused most of the incidents. 

Just as they have across the country. Over the weekend, they were responsible for countless acts of violence in California, the state of Washington, and Oregon. But the mainstream media and the left continue to ignore them. Joe Biden continues to believe that this group of people is nothing but an idea, but they are, in fact, a domestic terrorist organization. 

Everywhere the group goes, they incite violence, destroy property, and others around them end up hurt. Why do the mainstream media and the left continue to ignore the truth about Antifa and BLM? Jared shares his opinion.

The Pfizer vaccine has also been granted emergency use authorization over the weekend. Shipments began leaving Pfizer for distribution centers on Sunday, and healthcare workers are expected to begin receiving the vaccine later this week. Yet, there is still a large group of Americans that say they will not take the vaccine.

Scientists and healthcare experts say that vaccine compliance is what is necessary to get back to normal. Many people are falling victim to conspiracy theories and stories online that may simply not be true. Jared does not say that everyone should get the vaccine, but he shares that everyone should do their own research. He shares that he believes in personal freedom and that everyone should research themselves and decide if they want the vaccine or not.
