How a bucolic Tennessee suburb became a hotbed of ‘Christian Nashville-ism’
Williamson is also home to influential Christian activists such as attorney and radio host Jay Sekulow, founder of the ACLJ, who may be best known in recent years for defending Donald Trump during his 2020 impeachment. Long known for defending religious liberty, the ACLJ has turned more partisan in recent years, especially in its fundraising, warning Christians that their way of life is under attack. “There’s a massive storm brewing, and our deadline is looming,” read a recent fundraising appeal signed by Sekulow. “I’m gravely concerned that Christians aren’t ready. President Biden is emboldening anti-Christian forces to strip away your religious liberty.”

Infamous Christian Nationalist Jay Sekulow is claiming Biden Admin is using the IRS to target Christians. It's part of a grift scheme on his website. (Sign the petition and donate for the cause) This is the exact same grift he used under Obama
People who say they dont trust the government are mostly liars. They trust and use fruit if it every day of their life. They dont trust parts and pieces of it and in the age of social media "dont trust the government" is meme material. They take the stuff they can from the government but if something happens that they can manufacture rage about among their peers thats what they do. The Internet was a good idea..and had potential. "Social media"..not so much

Aug 17, 2021: ACLJ: ACLJ Takes on the IRS AGAIN With FOIA Request To Unearth the Biden IRS Targeting of Christians
We may have a new Administration, but the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has fallen right back into their same old bad habits that we exposed under President Barack Obama. We’re now seeing the same kind of behavior we fought against years ago rising again with a vengeance; and this time, it’s coming for conservatives AND CHRISTIANS. Perhaps it shouldn’t be so surprising as President Biden was a powerful component of the corrupt Obama-Biden Administration. As the song goes: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

During the impeachment trial, Sekulow didn’t speak the longest — that was Patrick Philbin, a top White House deputy. He wasn’t the biggest celebrity — that was Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz. He didn’t even make the primary opening or closing arguments — that was White House counsel Pat Cipollone. But Sekulow was the defense team’s master of ceremonies and its Trump translator.

Apr 2, 2015: Jay Sekulow: Fox News: The IRS Scandal: No justice from the Justice Department
Oct 15, 2014: Fox News Radio: JAY SEKULOW: Obama’s Pinprick Approach is Not Working Author of “Rise of ISIS: A Threat We Can’t Ignore” JAY SEKULOW dropped by to talk about his book and how he heard about ISIS a year ago. Jay explained to Brian that you can draw a direct line from Hamas to ISIS. The biggest difference is that Hamas blends into the community while ISIS, as for now, is like a regular army with fatigues and out in the open. They have changed their name to just the Islamic State because they want a state for the whole Muslim world ruled under them. Unfortunately, the pinprick approach of President Obama is not working. Obama’s Middle East strategy is falling apart right before his eyes because every move he has made and side he has picked lost. |
