For the first 10 years of his walk with Christ, Curt Landry, founder of Curt Landry Ministries, says he didn’t “have any passion” when it came to casting his vote in any election. He says he consulted voter guides, but not the book he should have consulted—the Bible.

But once he discovered that, Landry says, voting not only became his Constitutional right as a U.S. citizen, but it also became a biblical covenant. And that’s what guides him when he makes his way into the voting booth.

He suggests all Christians do the same when they head to the polls in early November.

“I am not a political figure. I am a man of God, a businessman,” Landry told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “If you go to 1 Timothy, you have Paul, who is mentoring Timothy, his spiritual son, and he says to pray this way for kings in authority, that we may live peacefully and live quiet lives of goodness and holiness.

“So, if we unpack that, how are we going to live in holiness, and in goodness, when we don’t vote in policy with politicians who are actually supporting holiness and goodness? We can’t, so you can’t. So, what happens is there has to be a light. … If we’re going to live in peacefulness, quietness and holiness, that means we’re going to have to have law and order. …

“Here’s the thing about covenant. Let’s put it this way: Curt Landry Ministries and Charisma work together on different subjects and projects, and that means the blessing that Curt Landry Ministries carries and the blessings that Charisma carries, they come together. But, at the same time, let’s say I was going to partner with something that was evil. I still have my blessings, which are irrevocable, but I can pick up curses from the evil covenant side of this.

“If you’re voting for people who are evil, people you know who are killing babies, people who are cursing Israel, then you cannot expect to live as Paul said—peacefully, and a quiet life. So, we have to vote according to Proverbs 6:16-17. It says these six things I hate—the shedding of innocent blood. It’s not about Roe v. Wade, it’s not about any of these things. It’s about our Constitution and attracting a blessing from God.”

While serving as editor at Charisma magazine, I received an email from a publicist who aggressively claimed to represent a “devout lifelong Christian” who is also “a clairvoyant, empathic psychic medium and psychic investigator with consultation on more than 100 missing person and cold case files on his resume.”

The man claims he communicates with people who have died and is using his gifts to help authorities “solve the unsolvable cases where tracks had run cold.” In fact, he calls this his life’s work. (Sounds pretty creepy to me.)

The trouble with this type of prophetic ministry is that it violates Scripture. I have no doubt he is talking to spirits—familiar spirits who know everything about the deceased person.

Why these familiar spirits would cooperate in solving crimes, I do not know. What I do know is necromancy—which Merriam-Webster defines as “conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events”(1)—is an abomination to the Lord. And that didn’t change with the New Covenant.

Deuteronomy 18:9-13 says: “When you enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you must not learn to practice the abominations of those nations. There must not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or who uses divination, or uses witchcraft, or an interpreter of omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts spells, or a spiritualist, or an occultist, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God will drive them out from before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God.”

That is crystal clear.

The “Christian psychic’s” publicist claims he kept his psychic gifts “in the closet” for fear of being ostracized by his Christian community. He counts pastors, Christian authors and other strict religious devotees as part of his beloved family and insists he’s a devout believer. “God gave me this gift. I didn’t create it on my own,” he says, speaking of his “psychic calling.”

Of course, he says, he’s accustomed to Christian leaders disagreeing with him—but he is quick to answer that a Christian’s job is to love, accept and preach to all people and not just those who suit the conventional paradigm.

“I take the basic information and then I can pick up on the person and begin to see pictures, places and things visually in my mind,” he says, explaining how he helps investigators. “Going online to Google Maps and Google Earth helps me put a visual framework to what I am getting in my mind’s eye. I can look at an area, pick up clues and assist in that way.”

Essential to living the Christian life is studying the Bible at what I call the inspirational level—with the end-goal of applying what we are learning to our daily lives. At this level we can read a story or a verse in the Bible and not understand its context but still take away a meaning or message.

The danger in taking Scripture out of context is ending up in error. This is why we should not stop at the inspirational level and also begin to study at a more intentional level.

I call this second level the “theological or doctrinal” level. This level is less about me and my life and more about understanding the key doctrines about God, His character and His ways. At this level we may do topical studies, whole book studies or learn apologetics—how to answer questions and accusations against Christianity or the Bible. This is important for our spiritual maturity and effectiveness in ministry to others.

However, we should not stop there: we should learn to read at the 3-D level. That is the level of study I encountered when I first went to Israel on a summer study program as a Bible major in university, and I have never been the same. My Bible came alive—it stood up, took on flesh and bones, and became three-dimensional for me. I was studying in the very land where it all happened, surrounded by the Hebraic and Jewish culture it reflected and the Jewish people that it was about. I was looking at ancient prophesies fulfilled!

Maybe one day you, too, can go to Israel and experience this for yourself. In the meantime, join me on this week’s podcast, where I offer tips and tools to prepare you for a journey together into the story and world of the 3-D Bible.

Dr. Susan Michael is USA director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem and host of the Out of Zion podcast.

In a day where the integrity of many pastors and churches has come under constant ridicule and scrutiny, one story stands out. It’s the story of a man whose authenticity and personal character can never be questioned—Jack Hayford.

The retired senior pastor of The Church on the Way in Van Nuys, California, and the former president of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, Hayford is known as a “pastor of pastors.” This Pentecostal leader has written more than 50 books along with over 600 hymns and choruses and remained committed to building bridges while maintaining humility and the integrity of the gospel.

It’s an exemplary kingdom life that Dr. David Moore, whom Hayford mentored, wrote about in his biography of Hayford, titled simply Pastor Jack. Moore was granted access to Hayford’s journals and conducted over 60 hours of interviews about the legendary kingdom warrior. Hayford’s life and legacy have inspired his lifelong followers to discover their calling and a fullness in Christ they’ve never experienced before.

“I think the key to Jack’s life in Christ has been his unflinching honesty with God about anything and everything in his life,” Moore told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “And when you read his journals, that’s what you find. You find frequent confession, frequent list of sins.

“But what was also characteristic of Jack is that he almost always ended his journal with praise to God, affirming his faithfulness to God. It is really like being able to see his heart. They [his journals] rambled, but they were remarkable because he would just acknowledge God—that ‘I need you; I depend on you. Whatever success I have is from your hand.’

“You become impressed with ordinariness, not his extraordinariness. I think what made the man was that he’s enormously gifted, and he is brilliant. He is radically dependent upon the Word of God, and that shows up in his journals. It shows up in his honesty. He was just willing to say, ‘Lord, I need you. Lord, help me live this way. I want to live this life dependently upon You, and I want to live to praise God despite my struggles and difficulties.'”

Everyone I know has favorite Bible verses. I am sure if I were to ask you what your favorite verse was you would have no problem in reciting it to me.

But what if I asked you what your least favorite verse was? Most people I know have never really given any thought to what their least favorite verse is in the Bible. I, however, have given this question a lot of thought. My least favorite verse in the entire Bible is Exodus 1:8:

“Now there rose up a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.”

The reason I bring this up in my blog this week is because the subject is so relevant to the times and season we are living in. Just think about the context of this verse: G-D had used Joseph to save Egypt and by extension the whole known world from famine.

Not only had Joseph been raised to a position of power, but he also was raised to that position of second only to the king as a Jew. Now we find a turning point in Egypt where the new king didn’t know Joseph. How can this be?

In approximately 400 years, the people of Israel went from the people who saved Egypt and caused Egypt to become the most powerful nation on the earth, to people this king of Egypt considered enemies. It should not be missed that one of the actions of the Egyptian king in his efforts to destroy the people who had brought salvation to his people was infanticide.

So let’s look a little deeper into what has happened here and see if we see any other similarities to today, and if there may be lessons we can learn from this experience.

First, we think about what the Israelites were still doing in Egypt when the famine was over in seven years. They chose to live in Egypt instead of going back to their homeland, the land of promise.

Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers but the rest of Israel volunteered to be slaves. Their slavery began with assimilation into Egyptian culture and it ended with Egyptian slavery. Israel was in Egypt because they chose to be in Egypt. Sin brought them to Egypt and sin kept them in Egypt.

The truth is, the reason the king didn’t know Joseph was because Israel had become so much a part of Egypt that their light of testimony had nearly gone out. They were still identifiably Israel, but no longer identifiable as the people of G-D. The children of Israel had prospered so much in Egypt that their blessings had become their curse.

Exodus 1:8 is so important for us to consider and pray about today because in many ways believers in Yeshua (Jesus) have become exactly like the people of Egypt. We have become so worldly in how we live that our light of testimony has nearly gone out. The body of believers has become complacent in Egypt. We are supposed to be in the world but not of this world. However, too many teachers and preachers have become satisfied with living in Goshen. Especially in the United States, we have prospered and assimilated just as the children of Israel did in Egypt. If we don’t wake up quickly to this truth, we will find ourselves confronted by a king that knew not Joseph.

Please remember the reason a king arose was because Israel had spiritually declined. The king didn’t remember Joseph because Joseph’s people had forgotten G-D and His covenants. Evil rose because righteousness fell.

The body of Messiah today is a at a crossroad. Politically and culturally a king has risen that knows not Joseph. This king is attacking people of faith. This king is calling for the murder of babies. This king wants the complete subjugation of the people of G-D to the ways of worldliness. But we should not blame the evil and the darkness on the king any more than we should blame the evil and darkness of Egypt on the king that arose in Exodus 1:8.

The blame for this evil and darkness falls entirely on the body of Messiah today. According to the Bible, light drives out darkness (see John 1:5) and greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). So if the world is being overtaken by sin and unrighteousness, it is because we have assimilated so much that the world no longer sees us as a means of salvation but rather as an enemy.

The reason Exodus 1:8 is my least favorite verse is because it reminds me of a time when the only thing that could bring Israel to a place of crying out to G-d was hatred over slavery and infanticide. This unfortunately seems to be exactly where the body of Messiah is living today. If you don’t believe me, take a moment today to read the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation. {eoa}

End-times expert Michael Snyder isn’t naïve. He is well aware of what could be disastrous consequences if Joe Biden ousts incumbent Donald Trump in the upcoming Nov. 3 presidential election.

Politically, he says, it could be a nightmare. Spiritually, he says, the consequences could be shocking, especially with our highest court in the land, the Supreme Court. And, Snyder says, he believes it won’t be Biden behind it all.

“I think Joe Biden is kind of hesitant to [pack the court] because he’s kind of a traditional guy, but I don’t think he’s gonna last that long as president anyway,” Snyder told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “[Vice Presidential Candidate] Kamala Harris would not hesitate to pull the trigger. I think Joe Biden could be persuaded when Kamala Harris takes over the performance of the office.

“People need to realize, if this election goes for the Democrats and they take over the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, first of all, they are going to change the rules in the Senate and end the felt filibuster. And so, they will be able to push whatever they want through the Senate without any Republican approval at all.

“Second of all, they’ve been talking about the fact that they’re going to pack the Supreme Court, which, potentially, could give them a permanent super majority on the Court and they would be able to push through their super liberal policies forever. … And the Democrats are planning a potential third move, by adding Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. as states, and that would give each new state two senators, which would be insulting so there would be 104 senators. DC and Puerto Rico are highly liberal, and that would shift the number of Democratic senators plus four on a permanent basis, making it so much more difficult for Republicans to ever retake the Senate. There would be electoral votes for DEC and Puerto Rico, making it significantly harder for a Republican to win the presidency.”

Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness, as the Bible commands? Missionary evangelist Caleb Wampler does daily, but then he says, as a Christ follower, that’s a no-brainer.

Wampler believes Christians must have a constant need and yearning to commune with God if they are to rise to the kingdom assignments to which God has called them. They have a passion to help believers awaken to the wonder and supernatural miracles of the Holy Spirit every day.

Author of the book Hunger, Wampler hosts the Awaken the Wonder Podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network.

“Although we thankfully have access to a precious surplus of Christian resources available to us, they are but a means to draw near to the Lord,” Wampler told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “Our most urgent need continues to be actual encounters with the living God.

“You can get before the Lord today, open up His Word, pray and you can seek Him. You can go on YouTube and listen to a good sermon, or you can read a spiritual thought for the day or listen to a podcast like this. But what I’ve found is that God is speaking to us actively. And, we don’t often take the time to listen to Him. … I need Jesus more than anything.

“And that relationship with Him, literally, flows to everything else. I have to know what He is saying. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing. He only said what the Father is saying. We have to know what He is saying, and that requires listening. So today, it could take five minutes, but sit down on your couch after you put your kids to bed or sit down right next to your bed, wherever it may be, and just say, ‘Jesus, I open my ears to your voice today. Open my eyes to what you’re showing. Speak to me.'”

Do you often wonder how to be the kind of spiritual leader that others need you to be? Perhaps a simple shift of focus can help.

Instead of focusing on how we want others to act toward us, we should shift the focus on being that way toward them. In other words, “Therefore, everything you would like men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets” (Matt. 7:12).

These 9 Spiritual Leadership Beatitudes, “be” attitudes, can help us do just that with the result of being better spiritual leaders. Not only will the manifestation of these leadership beatitudes help those who seek our spiritual leadership, but they can also help us live successfully one day at a time.

1. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who see the good in others over and above their faults, for such spirituality will expand their sphere of influence. Never give up on people, seek out opportunities to help them and realize that most problems are not as bad as they seem—these are the key concepts to perseverance and to success in the ministry. Maybe it would help us to remember the little train in the children’s story—the one that continued to say “I think I can, I think I can,” and then finally could say, “I know I can.”

Spiritual leaders need to be patient with themselves and with others. The ability to deal with conflict and disagreement depends on a healthy respect for differences. Spiritual, as well as human, skills often need improvement. When leaders make judgments that are imperceptive or wrong, they must be able to admit the errors and allow others a chance to be human as well. Forgiveness is necessary from both sides, as is leniency to risk at times, and leniency even to fail, especially in areas where trial and error may be an essential part of growth and success.

2. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who are slow to judge, for they will reap a harvest of disciples. The former Polish President, Lech Walesa, told Congress that there is a declining market for words. “The only thing the world believes,” he said, “is behavior, because we all see it instantaneously.” Leadership based on scriptural principles and attitudes attempts to overcome the superficial evaluation of people by actions and appearances only. Spiritual leaders will display integrity when they act and behave according to the biblical values and attitudes that bring honor and trust to God and to fellow members of the body of Christ.

Humor is integral to a judgment-free environment. It is as essential in working with one’s ministry team and congregation as it is in families. When we cannot laugh at and with ourselves, we are preparing for a fall—physically, emotionally or spiritually. Humor can diffuse many potentially explosive situations. Not only is humor a great stress reliever, but it also helps all involved to take a deep breath and see the situation in a positive way. Positive thinking, though not enough to run a ministry by itself, often sets the standard by which successful ministries operate.

3. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who make their environment a safe haven of trial and error, for their team members will become proficient in their giftings. When spiritual leaders deal with the issues of those who disagree with them, and when they expect others to do likewise, they are showing respect for the abilities and judgments of other people. They are showing that they trust others to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in dealing with those issues fairly. They are also showing the value of open communication. Effective leaders will know how to treat people, will recognize needs and will accept human nature as human. They will be able to minister effectively while helping people feel their worth in Christ.
4. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who adhere to biblical values, for their examples will be strong in the Lord and inspire others. Commitment to biblical values also requires consistency. Biblical values cannot rule through compromise. Inconsistent behavior sends mixed signals, thus increasing the insecurity of those to whom you minister. Such behavior will also make the leader appear to be manipulative and perhaps deceptive. Consistent spiritual behavior does not allow for misreading of the leaders’ intentions. Values-driven leadership will motivate those working under that system to meet the needs of the people to whom they minister. The biblical values of a ministry must be clear—people cannot commit to vague or amorphous ministries that they cannot grasp.

Spiritual leadership is a daily pursuit for the mind of Christ. Leaders’ behavior must be a consistent reflection of biblical values, and what they expect of their ministry team members. Integrity will help leaders develop their priorities and thus help guide them through difficulties and uncertainties.

5. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who seek first to understand and then to be understood, for they will communicate well. Understanding with a spiritual focus leads to commitment. Spiritual leaders must reinforce everyone’s understanding of biblical principles, values, practices and goals. Clear assumptions lead to clear understanding, which in turn leads to deeper commitment to Christ. The more spiritual leaders are able to understand the members of their ministry team and their congregation, the more empathic those leaders become and the less likely they will be to clash with them. Respect for others and honesty in dealing with others must remain constant. The consistency helps establish the sense of spiritual value that makes others worthy of respect.
6. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who honestly handle feedback, for they will gain insight and give it to others. Trust and confidence are required for feedback in ministry, if such feedback is to result in the intended church growth or the spiritual growth of those you are helping. Feedback is going to occur, so leaders need to know how to give it and receive it. Feedback in ministry is supposed to keep all of us on target, but feedback cannot be helpful or useful unless it is taken well and given with the proper motives. Trust is the key element—we must be able to trust the one giving the feedback so we know it is intended to help and not to hurt. In the same way, we must be trustworthy when we give feedback to others. We must give it honestly to help someone else rather than to satisfy some hidden motivation of our own. Spiritual leaders learn from correcting errors, as does everyone else. Our entire lives are filled with learning experiences. Leaders are optimists and instill hope in Christ in others. Without that hope, there would be no reason to continue correcting errors and growing from ministerial mistakes.
7. Blessed are spiritual leaders who show faith, for their faith will bring many rewards. Good leaders will make it possible for others to be prudent risk-takers. This requires faith. Responsible risks result in potential rewards. Spiritual leaders who recognize this are willing to experience failure so that they can experience success. Having confidence in themselves makes it easier for leaders to have confidence in their people—they will be quick to praise and encourage others in their ministry. Because spiritual leaders have faith, they believe in what they do. Their faith in Christ gives them meaning and causes them to search, explore and think creatively about the future, both for their personal lives and for their ministries. They have the Holy Spirit strengthening them to make necessary decisions. The Holy Spirit gives them the assurance that things could be better. And that assurance is part of the faith they have in their ministry team, in those they minister to and in themselves as leaders.
8. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who trust the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives and in others, for they will find rest. Trust in the Holy Spirit is foundational to the survival of any ministry. Spiritual leaders are responsible not only to trust the leading of the Holy Spirit personally, but also to trust the Holy Spirit to lead others. When spiritual leaders truly value people, the trust between those people and the leaders will develop and stay strong. Spiritual leaders trust those they help and are trusted by those they help. Trust empowers information to flow in ministry, helping spiritual leaders to deal with bad news effectively. Trust holds any ministry together.

Trust not only strengthens relationships, but trust influences evangelism, discipleship and spiritual growth. Trust also empowers effective decision-making, because good decisions do not result from suspicion and distrust.

9. Blessed are the spiritual leaders who know how to communicate, for they will both give and receive understanding. Consistent communication with others—influencing, encouraging, critiquing and listening—will keep spiritual leaders in a position to understand and to be non-judgmental, and to see others from the Father’s perspective rather than from a negative perspective. Communication between spiritual leaders and their ministry teams will make them feel secure in situations of trial and error and in circumstances requiring forgiveness.

Spiritual leaders will be effective when they treat everyone with respect, kindness and honesty—in the same way they would want to be treated. Spiritual leaders must preserve the dignity of those they shepherd through leadership attitudes, leadership judgment, leadership humor and leadership communication skills. Spiritual leaders will always pay attention to the needs of others. That same consideration and honesty must apply to all dealings with the congregation, their families, friends, the public, the government, the media, donors, workers, colleagues—anyone and everyone with whom they are connected.

Spiritual leaders take into consideration the myriad of skills and attributes of their teams and congregations so that they can effectively lead. Effective leaders know how to minister to people, how to recognize and fulfill spiritual needs and how to accept human nature as it is. They know how to convey the love of God and help people feel ministered to through the 9 Spiritual Leadership Beatitudes. {eoa}

The left wants to not only strip President Trump of his power, but they want to usurp the power of the American people to select our own leader.

We’ve got to buckle up and be ready to take swift action.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has given us a peek at her cards. If the president wins reelection, but the U.S. Senate somehow switches control, they’re not going to try another impeachment. That would be another zero for them, especially right after an election. But what they can do is manipulate the 25th Amendment and seek to remove the president and strip him of his constitutional power. This could equally be used against a potential President Biden to give the power of the highest office in the land to the far-left Kamala Harris. In reality, it’s a direct attack on the presidency, no matter who is in office.

Speaker Pelosi announced that she is pushing legislation to allow her cronies in Congress to establish a commission with the power to declare the president of the United States—chosen by the American people—unfit for office.

Here’s exactly what Section 4 of the 25th Amendment says:

Whenever the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president.

Thereafter, when the president transmits to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall continue to discharge the same as acting president; otherwise, the president shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Speaker Pelosi is trying to create this “other body as Congress may by law provide” in order to “declar[e] that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” thereby, along with the other provisions of the 25th Amendment, effectively removing the president and stripping him of his power. He would then have to go through the convoluted steps to try to get it back, and Congress could drag it out and ultimately would have the final say. This has never happened before.

I’ve already given the charge to our legal and government affairs teams in Washington, D.C., to be prepared for what I’m calling “Impeachment 3.0,” which will not be a traditional impeachment process but will essentially be a removal proceeding pursuant to the 25th Amendment.

I have no doubt that is already what the left is planning to do. The left daily claims the president is unfit for office. And now Speaker Pelosi is already trying to undermine the people’s faith in President Trump’s ability to lead or make decisions due to contracting the coronavirus.

In a press conference, Speaker Pelosi said:

“The president is, shall we say, in an altered state right now so I don’t know how to answer for his behavior. There are those who say that when you’re on steroids and or if you have COVID-19, or both, there may be some impairment of judgment.”

It is obvious what they’re doing. Get ready. Speaker Pelosi is laying the groundwork to have this new commission declare the president unfit for office and strip him of his power. They would have the ability to essentially remove him from office. In the alternative, they’re setting the stage for what they might be planning if Joe Biden is elected. In either case, this is nefarious and dangerous.

Mueller didn’t work. Impeachment didn’t work. This becomes their new vehicle for the left to attempt removal. The speaker did not bring this up by accident yesterday. This is all intentionally timed out.

This will be a fundamental politically motivated abuse of the operation of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I need you to understand what is truly at stake here. You need to know what is about to take place. And we need to be ready.

Quite frankly, this is as much a threat to Joe Biden if he wins as well. The speaker also stated:

“This is not about President Trump. He will face the judgment of the voters. But he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents.”

If the extreme left is given the power to remove a president at will and he doesn’t toe the new party line, then he could just as easily be taken out of the White House. In fact, it’s possible that might already be the idea.

The bottom line is, this is an attack on the presidency. We have to be prepared to act and move forward.
