Now That We Are Marching, We Must Pray And Vote

October 23, 2025

The article criticizes what it views as authoritarian tendencies in the Trump administration and Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to swear in a duly elected congressional representative from Arizona for over three weeks. The author draws parallels between biblical resistance (Joshua at Jericho) and current political opposition to Trump's policies. The piece calls for prayer, marching, and voting to counter perceived constitutional violations, specifically referencing Johnson's blocking of a representative who would likely sign the Discharge Petition regarding Epstein documents.
