Hawley Demands Answers from MLB for Penalizing Christian Players
Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Robert Manfred in response to the MLB’s warning to San Francisco Giants pitchers for referencing Bible verses on their caps during the team’s “Pride Night.” Senator Hawley is demanding MLB answer for its apparent pattern of discriminating against Christians while promoting left-wing ideologies. Senator Hawley wrote, “I write with grave concern over your reported decision to issue a formal warning to three Major League Baseball (MLB) players for publicly expressing their Christian faith. This follows a high-profile undercover investigation that revealed at least one MLB team discriminated against a player based on his Catholic faith. You must answer for what appears to be a pattern of discrimination within MLB against baseball players who profess their Christian faith.” “At a recent baseball game, multiple pitchers for the San Francisco Giants wrote Bible verse references on their caps at a game where players were issued rainbow-patterned hats for “Pride Night.” These verses quote from Genesis 9, which describes God’s design of the rainbow as a sign of His covenant with creation following the flood. For this, your organization has reportedly issued warnings to these players. MLB has said this is a content-neutral policy and that MLB “respect[s] players’ right to free expression.” But this is dubious, given that MLB is openly promoting a political viewpoint and possibly compelling adherence to that viewpoint,” he continued.

Christian congresswoman introduces bill to mandate 'In God We Trust' on federal buildings
The proposed legislation is the House companion bill to one introduced in the U.S. Senate last September by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., days after President Donald Trump launched the "America Prays" program encouraging weekly prayer. Like Miller, Hawley has been a vocal advocate for acknowledging the role Christian faith plays in preserving both personal and national integrity.During a lecture last month at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, Hawley warned a group of seminary students that the U.S. finds itself in a "spiritual crisis" caused by widespread rejection of its historic Christian faith, contending that the country "was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

The Fist and the Pulpit: Josh Hawley’s Crusade to Make America a Christian Nation
Josh Hawley says out loud what other politicians treat as an accusation: he is a Christian nationalist. He raised his fist to the January 6 mob on his way into the Capitol. His wife helped end Roe v. Wade. The Senate is where he keeps his pulpit. Hawley embraced the Christian nationalist label in July 2024. He wants “In God We Trust” on every federal building in place of the “trans flag,” and in 2025 he introduced a bill to require it. He was the first senator to announce he would challenge the 2020 electoral count. On January 6, he saluted the crowd with a raised fist, then fled on camera when the mob broke in. His campaign sold the salute on $20 coffee mugs. His wife, Erin Hawley, helped Mississippi with the case that overturned Roe v. Wade and argued the Supreme Court challenge to the abortion pill. She wanted a federal appeals seat; her husband, who helps vet judicial nominees, says he will not recuse himself if her turn comes. He preaches revival at Christian campuses and introduced a national ban on the abortion drug mifepristone, promoting the ban from a seminary lectern, and calling for “a Christian economy(GPAHE 8.25.26)READMORE>>>>>>

Why America needs evangelicals on the Supreme Court — and more
Evangelicals are 23 percent of U.S. adults and one of the most loyal Republican voting blocs, with 81 percent backing Donald Trump in 2024. Yet despite six of the nine Supreme Court justices being appointed by Republican presidents, there are no evangelicals on the Supreme Court.This is just one of the many elite institutions in which evangelicals are absent or underrepresented. Evangelicals have excelled in politics, producing figures such as Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana). They are also prominent in well-run and profitable businesses with relatively low cultural impact, such as food processing (Tyson Foods) and retail (Hobby Lobby). But they are all but absent from the leadership of prestigious universities, major foundations, Big Tech companies, leading financial firms and large media companies.
