The Early Voting Numbers Contain Some Very Troubling News for One Presidential Candidate
Early voting numbers are starting to come in from all over the nation, and I am absolutely astounded by what we are witnessing so far.
In previous cycles, Democrats have dominated early in-person voting and vote-by-mail, and Republicans have dominated in-person voting on the day of the election. Experts had expected to see the same pattern manifest this time around, but in many of the most important states that simply is not happening. In fact, as you will see below, there are quite a few swing states where Republicans have actually cast more votes than Democrats have. Needless to say, this is very bad news for Kamala Harris.
Let’s start in Florida. When early in-person voting and vote-by-mail are combined, Republicans have a lead of more than 18,000 votes so far.

John MacArthur Responds to the Steven Lawson Scandal
Recently, Pastor John MacArthur returned to Grace Community Church for the first time since undergoing a medical procedure that kept him sidelined from preaching. MacArthur sat down for a Q&A session led by Nathan Busenitz, executive vice president of The Master’s Seminary and an elder at GCC, as reported by Church Leaders.
The conversation quickly turned to the topic of leadership failures within the church, most notably the downfall of Steven Lawson. Busenitz asked MacArthur how GCC should process the “adversity that comes from inside the church when people that we respect and trust turn out to be different than we thought they were.
“I know you’re talking about Steve Lawson, and I say that with the deepest agony in my soul,” MacArthur says. Lawson, a former leader at the church and a long-time friend of MacArthur, had recently been exposed for sexual misconduct with a younger woman. MacArthur was candid about the pain of the situation but emphasized that God’s hand is at work in exposing such behavior.
Kamala Harris’ Blatant Disrespect for Christian Beliefs
Last week during a campaign stop on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in La Crosse, presidential candidate Kamala Harris defended her pro-abortion stance, telling the audience, “When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, as president of the United States I will proudly, proudly sign it into law.” Her fans applauded wildly in response.
At that moment two juniors at the school, both Christians, shouted from their seats: “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!” Harris looked over at the two and said: “You guys are at the wrong rally. I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” The crowd erupted in laughter and more applause as the two pro-life activists, Luke Polaske and Grant Beth, were escorted out of the building.
Harris didn’t realize that the brief interaction in that campus gymnasium would go viral. Video footage of her response to Polaske and Beth has now been seen by millions—and many who have watched it are asking if Harris’ mocking tone displays obvious disrespect for Christian values.
