JESUS IS NOT A POLITICAL PAWN

I’ve seen a lot of posts lately saying “Jesus was a refugee,” and that slogan has taken hold even among good-hearted people who truly want to love their neighbors from around the world. But truth, history, and biblical context matter. And if anyone thinks I’m going to sit quietly while globalists or anyone else hijacks and bastardizes the story of my Lord and Savior to push a political agenda, they are dead wrong.
Let’s get this straight, with Scripture alone.
Matthew 2 tells us Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus fled to Egypt because an angel warned them that Herod—out of pure murderous jealousy—was slaughtering every male child two and under in Bethlehem and the surrounding area. That massacre was evil, satanic, and entirely Herod’s doing, not God’s. The flight to Egypt was divinely directed protection for the Messiah, temporary, and ended the moment Herod died. They returned home to Nazareth, fulfilling Hosea 11:1 (“Out of Egypt I called my son”), a prophecy about Israel, not a model for modern immigration. Judea and Egypt were both under Roman rule, so they never crossed an international border. By every honest modern definition, Jesus was an internally displaced person, not a refugee.
To slap the political label “refugee” on Him today is to drag the eternal Son of God into 21st-century debates, grievously distorting the entire purpose of His life: the perfect fulfillment of Scripture and God’s eternal plan of sacrificial love and redemption—reconciling a rebellious world to Himself through the cross and the empty tomb. That sacred mission is not a prop for any party or ideology.
Jesus Himself refused to be weaponized politically. When the crowds tried to make Him an earthly king by force, He withdrew (John 6:15). He told Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36). And when asked about taxes to a pagan empire, He said, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (Matt 22:21)—a direct command from the Lord to honor and obey civil authority instead of defying it.
The Bible absolutely commands us to love the foreigner and the stranger (Lev 19:33-34; Deut 10:18-19; Matt 25:35-40; Heb 13:2). But loving them and submitting to God-ordained government are not in opposition. Romans 13:1-7 is clear: the governing authorities are established by God, and we are to submit to them. America already welcomes hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants and refugees every year through lawful, orderly processes—showing real compassion while preserving the justice and security God requires. Claiming Jesus’ flight justifies breaking immigration laws today is the same ancient lie the serpent whispered in Eden: twist God’s Word, ignore His order, and chaos follows. Nothing new under the sun (Eccl 1:9).
Real hope for every displaced person isn’t in slogans or open-border activism. It’s in the full Gospel: the eternal Son who became flesh, lived sinlessly, died in our place, and rose victorious to save people from every nation (John 1:14; 1 Cor 15:3-4; Matt 28:19).
Let’s love our neighbors with open hearts and open hands—without distorting the truth of our Savior.
Thoughts? Let’s talk in love and truth (Eph 4:15).

Today, on The Windsor Report, I'll talk with Phil Derrow about his most-recent OpEd (published by the Columbus Dispatch). Here it is for your consideration:

We can't tell difference between $100 outrages and $1 annoyances

Because you read the newspaper and columns like this, my editors and I are grateful. As a news and opinion consumer, you likely find yourself occasionally — if not often — outraged by what you read. Me too.

But what if the scale of our reaction isn’t commensurate with the actual magnitude of the problem?

What if our inability to regulate our hundred dollar outrage toward things that are merely one dollar annoyances prevents us from having the bandwidth to tackle the bigger problems.

Our indignation budget only goes so far.

The recent muttering, sputtering, and blubbering end of the longest-lasting federal government shutdown reminds us that we’ve collectively lost the point of self-governance.

I have an artifact from my father on my desk. It’s a tool he used — a calculator — that can perform in seconds everything from basic arithmetic to calculus but uses no batteries or external power other than regular human intellect and finger dexterity.

High schoolers used them in their math classes, as did the engineers who built the rockets that put men on the moon 60 years ago.

It’s a slide rule.

We already had electronic calculators when I was in school, but my father introduced me to the slide rule because I kept making a common error. Mindlessly punching numbers into a calculator risks losing perspective of the scale of the problem. Slide rules require users to keep the location of the decimal point in their minds while working through a calculation.

Each digit the decimal point moves represents an order-of-magnitude — 10x — change in the result. Tiny errors quickly become massive ones.

I think about this tool every so often; not just because it reminds me of my father but because it reminds me to think about the scale of a problem and make sure any potential solution passes a simple plausibility test.

Which brings us back to the outrage about the government shutdown.

Our nation is being subsumed into a quicksand of $38 trillion of national debt. It’s outrageous that politicians shut down the government because almost half of them demanded we add hundreds of billions more to a health insurance — not health care — program that’s already cost more than $1 trillion. The Affordable Care Act made health care less affordable for worse care.

A competent press corps would clarify the facts — rather than merely parroting partisan talking points — and the resulting well-informed electorate would demand that politicians stop the bleeding first.

Tens of millions of young Americans are stuck in their own quagmire of nearly $2 trillion of student debt encouraged and backed by the same politicians who can’t manage the government’s balance sheet. The crushing burden of massive debt for young adults can last well into middle age. It delays marriage, reduces family formation and homeownership, and stifles entrepreneurship — all historical paths to middle-class success and community stability.

The debt bomb is entirely the fault of politicians who decided college was right for everyone. It’s not. We need plumbers and electricians more than Starbucks baristas with sociology degrees and $100,000 debt. The former start working and earning years before the latter and do so with little to no debt, job security, and a bright future building and fixing real things for real people. And, unlike customer service, middle management, and factory work, trade jobs are far less likely to be threatened by AI or robots for the foreseeable future.

The debt and labor market distortions from these policies are bad enough but the damage goes much further. The easy money and zero accountability for productive results directly led to the explosion of college tuition costs. The same pols who claim to believe in “equity” voted for the very policies that made college so expensive that it benefits wealthy Americans far more than proverbial middle class.

I addressed “moral hazard” in my last column. Our elected officials are the personification of it.

Congressional Democrats want to forgive that debt — political doublespeak for transferring it to taxpayers. Republicans treat it as the borrower’s moral failure rather than recognizing the government’s role in enabling the addiction and accepting some responsibility for it. Both have lost sight of the magnitude of the problem they caused.

Such blindness is hardly limited to federal officials. Ohio’s urban public school districts consistently fail to teach foundational literacy skills —causing life-long harm — while a review of their curricula, school board meeting agendas, and spending demonstrates little evidence of a sufficient focus to solve it.

An electorate educated in slide-rule logic would recognize the magnitude of the problems rather than complaining about whether their favored program gets cut.

And, while our public institutions were — and still are — whistling past the graveyard of their own demise, they focused instead on infinitesimally small problems of micro-aggressions, cultural appropriation, long-past colonialism, unconstitutional racial preferences, and a panoply of other pet projects. To the extent that these are individual concerns, they simply don’t rise to the scale necessary to warrant a lien on the public treasury or our even more limited attention span.

The hundreds of millions of dollars committed to these programs are only small change in the scale of multi-trillion dollar annual government spending and tens of trillions in outstanding debt.

But the distraction and navel-gazing is the modern example of Emperor Nero “fiddling while Rome burns.”

The inability to keep the decimal point in the right place isn’t a partisan failing. Republicans have held the power of the presidency, Congress, governorships, and many state legislatures while all these outrageous threats developed and allowed the problems to become multiple orders of magnitude worse.

The Trump administration has accomplished some important policy successes but nearly every one of them is compromised by pettiness and ham-handed implementation that gives opponents easy opportunities to focus attention away from the larger — and truly outrageous — problems.

When the crew of Apollo 13 made their famous radio call that “Houston, we’ve had a problem” the slide-rule toting engineers never lost sight of the point and brought those three men home. We need that same focus today.

🚨LISTEN: U.S. Senator Moreno Explains Exclusive Citizenship Act🚨

Just wrapped an eye-opening chat with U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno on "The Windsor Report" about his new Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 – a bill that could change how we handle immigration forever. He breaks down why new citizens must renounce old allegiances and pledge full loyalty to America, calling it "common sense" to fix a major loophole. Plus, updates on slashing government waste through DOGE. Don't miss the full scoop – click to read the summary and listen to the entire discussion! What do you think – is this the fix we need? Share your thoughts below! 🇺🇸
_ _ _
U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) introduced the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, aiming to require immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship to renounce their prior citizenship and pledge sole allegiance to the United States.

In an interview Thursday on "The Windsor Report," Moreno said the bill addresses what he called a Democratic effort to "systematically work to destroy this country" by allowing "tens of millions of illegals" without vetting or assimilation requirements. "America is our home," Moreno said. "When you bring people to your home and make them part of your family, there has to be an intentionality around that."

Moreno, who immigrated from Colombia at age 5 and became a citizen at 18, described the measure as "common sense." He cited former President Teddy Roosevelt, who called dual allegiance "fraught with ignorance and ridiculousness." The bill would close a "loophole" where new citizens affirm allegiance but are not required to formally renounce prior citizenships. If someone later regains another citizenship, their U.S. citizenship could be revoked for lying during naturalization.

Critics argue the bill could harm contributing immigrants and dual citizens, but Moreno dismissed concerns, saying a U.S. passport offers the best global protections and does not limit travel or family visits. "You owe sole allegiance to the United States of America," he said.

Moreno reported strong support in the House, with members working on a companion bill. He believes it would pass constitutional tests and appeal to everyday Americans. "Walk into an apolitical group ... and say, 'Hey, if somebody is coming from another country ... should they have to renounce the citizenship of their prior country?'" he said. "I can't even imagine anybody that wouldn't say, well, doesn't it work that way already?"

The senator also discussed progress on reducing government spending through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including welfare reforms requiring work or school for benefits and ending subsidies like electric vehicle credits. He noted cuts at agencies, such as the National Security Council dropping from 7,000 to 80 employees.

The interview touched on lighter topics, including Moreno's prediction that Ohio State would win the Big Ten Championship and become national champions.

DEWINE BETRAYS GOP LAWMAKERS (YET AGAIN)

I built my career and rose to national prominence by relentlessly exposing Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's horrendously bad policy decisions during the COVID era—from overreaching mandates to economic shutdowns that crushed families and businesses.

So, it comes as no surprise that this squish has once again betrayed his fellow Republicans by vetoing Senate Bill 50—straightforward legislation, backed by bicameral GOP support, that would have modernized outdated child labor laws to allow 14- and 15-year-olds to work up until 9 p.m. on school nights, giving teens a chance to build real-world skills, earn money, and contribute to our struggling economy.

Instead, DeWine dismisses it with his veto message: "I see no compelling reason to deviate from current law." No reason? How about empowering the next generation and aligning with conservative values of personal responsibility and opportunity?

This isn't just a one-off; it's a pattern of spineless betrayal from a governor who's more interested in playing it safe with his benevolent grandpa charade than standing behind good government policies. Ohio deserves better than this repeated sabotage.

Share this if you're fed up with DeWine's failures! Full story linked in comments.
