In the darkest hours of our nation’s founding, General George Washington rode straight into the fury of battle. Musket balls tore through his coat, horses fell beneath him, and the enemy watched in stunned disbelief as he emerged untouched time after time.
He did not flinch. He did not retreat. Washington stood firm because he knew a greater purpose … & God’s hand … protected him. Today, the battlefield is different, but the call is the same. It is time for good men and women to step forward with that same fearless spirit.
We need you to run for office. Not merely to advance good ideas, but to occupy the seats so that bad actors cannot. Every open position filled by a principled patriot is one less seat available for those who would undermine our republic. When good people refuse to run, the opposition wins by default. When we stand up, we reclaim the ground for liberty.
The path has never been easier. We are not asking you to carry the full burden alone. We are doing this together as Americans.

Countdown Call to Courage
Stand for America

All too often we fall into the fear of being accepted, which is arguably the worst fear prison of the mind. That sounds like the case of the person on your call.
When you’re addicted to pleasing (ratio-ing) the social media audience, or the influential friend group, or the political constituency (I.e. the “highest bidders”), how many personal morals would you compromise and make victim to the peer pressure of their evils?
Holding your nose and voting for something you know is evil is still going along to get along and that’s an inescapable mental prison.
But you can escape it when you are the audience of Jesus Christ. Re-read His teachings as if you’re one of the people on the beach during the Multiplication or a throng being told one of Jesus’ parables.
You are not a monkey performer dancing to an organ box with a leash around your neck. Be yourself and when other folks don’t like it, then you’re finding your path.

Democrats: I’ll give you everything you want but it is going to cost someone else (and you eventually).
Republicans: I’ll give you everything you want but the more you want the more it’ll cost you. And I have to get my cut.
Constitutionalists: we will give you what the law outlines our duty to provide, at the best cost we can, so we only ask from you what is necessary. Anything else you want is on you but you get the freedom to decide how to use your resources.

Good morning!!!
Interesting … have you noticed who is running the most ads for office?
Who is funding them? It’s an illusion. It’s not who raises or spends the most money wins … it’s that the corporate and foreign countries give the most money to the puppets they expect favors from.
Big money flows heavily through politics, with candidates, parties, PACs, and outside groups all playing roles. Money raised from patriots is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things … the big money comes from dark money … which can’t be tracked easily.
Data as of late 2025/early 2026 filings:
Governor Race (open seat):
Jocelyn Benson (D): ~$5.96M raised, ~$3.53M spent
Mike Cox (R): ~$5.1M raised, ~$1.1M spent (strong cash on hand)
John James (R): ~$4.49M raised
Others (Swanson, withdrawn candidates like Duggan/Gilchrist): $1M–$5M range
US Senate Race (Peters retiring, toss-up):
Haley Stevens (D): ~$8.87M raised, ~$5.48M spent
Mallory McMorrow (D): ~$8.62M raised, ~$4.93M spent
Abdul El-Sayed (D): ~$7.65M raised
Mike Rogers (R): ~$7.68M raised, ~$3.68M spent (solid cash reserves)
Statewide snapshot:
Over $143 million in total contributions tracked recently, with candidate committees and outside groups driving spending. Michigan is on pace for record ad spending (hundreds of millions projected across broadcast, digital, etc., including heavy outside group buys in Senate & governor races).
Pay to play … buy candidates … cut out the people …
Stop feeding or playing with the beast. Red or blue doesn’t matter … they are just agents of evil with a slick tongue full of empty promises and lies.

When the decree went out for the total destruction of her people, Queen Esther faced an impossible choice. Approaching the king without being summoned meant certain death. Yet she refused to stay silent or hide in the safety of the palace.
With fasting, prayer, and bold resolve, she declared: “If I perish, I perish.” She stepped into the gap, confronted evil directly, and saved her entire nation.
Today, many good people justify their fear by saying, “Politics requires compromise,” or “The only way to win is to vote red or blue. ” That mindset is not wisdom … it is surrender. It is buying into evil’s own narrative that says good must bow, good must dilute truth, and good must step aside. Esther rejected that lie. She exposed the plot and stood in the gap.
Now it is our time!!. When good people refuse to run, the opposition wins by default.

Good morning…
Another day to focus on the work in front of us to carry on as guardians of freedom and liberty!!
It is our highest calling … trusting God in times of great difficulty, pain and/or suffering.
Right on the heels of celebrating General Flynn‘s endorsement of me for Governor of Michigan, I had to confront putting down my black stallion yesterday morning unexpectedly.
The hardest decisions are usually the right decisions. Those are the decisions that require courage, even when our hearts are breaking.
I said goodbye to my old friend …
As I sit here drinking my coffee, I’m pondering the future of the United States of America and the future that assuredly we are going to face. Trees have to be pruned to produce fruit and dead limbs and over growth have to be eliminated to ensure survival. Life depends on it.
This is what we’re going to have to face. We can’t let what we had eclipse the situation at hand … in the choice to go forward with bravery and courage. I believe we’re going to have some very tough times ahead. Things are not going to feel the same. It is going to elicit a grief response that may seem overwhelming, but the choice has to be courage and bravery over retreat despair, sadness, demoralization, and paralysis.
We are going to be called to do what do so many have done before us. We have to take a stand against pure evil and abolish it, in all its insidious subversive forms.
People are going to have to choose on which side they are going to stand. The choice is lamenting the things that we have become accustomed to or going forward, determining a bright and glorious future which we can create when we stand together in unity and service to God, family, and country.
If you are sad, do something … pick anything God lays on your heart. Pray … reach out to hurting people. Refuse to let loss disable you. Every positive action will be given wings by God Almighty …
That takes the sting of grief away. If you are grieving, it’s proof that you have and are capable of great love. Embrace it as a gift … proof of your connection to God … and fertilizer for future strength and spiritual growth.
Be brave … embrace courage in the wake of change.
In the unconditional love of Christ

President Trump never conceded the 2020 election …
Donna Brandenburg never conceded the 2022 election …
A stolen election is a threat to national security … a declaration of war by foreign adversaries and treasonous enemies within.
They weaponized our elections for over 20 years!!!! This has to be addressed not by a civil war but by a military intervention to hold everyone who colluded on a world wide scale accountable!!!
The true celebration will happen when we handle the active coup going on … my jaw is set to finish this fight.
