LIBERAL MEDIA in the US has gone into a panic over a “secretive organization” of wealthy Christians working to turn out the vote this fall. Apparently, it’s only OK for rich liberals to influence elections.
Specifically, progressives are hyperventilating about a group called Ziklag, named for a town in southern Israel where David took refuge from Saul 3,000 years ago. Membership in the group is by invitation only, and restricted to families with a net worth of at least $25 million. ProPublica reported that the group plans to spend $12 million to promote conservative candidates this fall, including Donald Trump.
Given that the Harris campaign has raised over $300 million since she was appointed the Democratic Party nominee, we don’t see the reason for the panic. In fact, there is none; this is simply the media doing PR for the anti-Trump candidate who, just a few weeks ago, was the least popular vice president in US history, and is now being described in glowing terms as the savior of the Democratic Party.
The notion that Christians can impose a theocracy on America in the 21st century is laughable, and it is hilarious watching liberal pundits hyperventilate over the alleged threat we pose to democracy.
All that said, we reject the idea that taking dominion over the “Seven Mountains of Culture”–arts & entertainment, business, church, education, family, government, and media–through politics is our calling. Our mission–the Great Commission–is to change hearts and minds by making disciples, not by recruiting rich Christians to fund political action committees.
Also: Kipling’s WWI-era poem revived to vilify patriotic protesters in England; China won’t save the faltering economy this time around; and virulent strain of Mpox spreads in Congo.
