The Hamilton Minute is a power packed 60 seconds where we tackle the issues of the day through the lens of God’s Word. You don’t want to miss a moment of it.
“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward” Psalm 127:3 (ESV).

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts signed a state budget that eliminates federal title X family-planning funding to Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. The $8.8 billion two-year budget would prohibit money to facilities that commit, promote, or refer clients for abortions.
The budget also mandates health clinics in the state to legally, financially, and physically separate from abortion facilities.
So, Planned Parenthood’s bloody hands can be wrenched from the taxpayers money when a legislature and an executive leader are willing.
Congress, are you listening?
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV).

Christ followers must contend for the authority of scripture in every generation.
Current societal challenges that are described as culture wars are really societal attacks on the authority and application of Scripture.
American Family Studios has created a documentary film project that will aid you in effectively conveying a reason for your unwavering trust in Jesus and unflinching confidence in His word.
You need this in your life. Go to TheGodWhoSpeaks.org to get this resource.
You won’t be disappointed.
“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 (ESV)

The Palestinian Authority has long given lifetime stipends to the families of dead terrorists who successfully carried out terror attacks against Jews and they’ve used aid from U.S. taxpayers to do it.
A review of Palestinian aid was conducted by the Trump Administration in light of the Taylor Force Act, which was proposed to stop this insanity. Following that review, President Trump has ordered that $200 million in economic aid be withheld from the Hamas-Palestinian Authority unitary government and redirected elsewhere.
Good move, Mr. President.

The incumbent Democrat Governor of New York is being attacked from the left in the Democrat primary by actress Cynthia Nixon similar to the way Bernie Sanders attacked Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Things got rather testy in their primary debate where Cuomo made things a little harder for himself.
He asked Nixon to stop interrupting. She accused him of lying. He then responded that he would stop lying when she did.
Uh… ya just admitted to lying.
Nixon, a left leaning, Bernie Sanders type who embraces all things regressive and Cuomo, another regressive, who admitted lying publicly.
Oh, New York.
“For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10 (ESV)

October 11, 1798 John Adams, the second President of the United States, addressed the Massachusetts Militia and said:
“Our Constitution was made ONLY for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
He rightly highlighted the reality that this great American experiment in self-government and liberty would only work where the popular societal ethos is derived from the character produced by the Holy Spirit’s indwelling.
The recent popularity of socialism is directly related to America moving further away from God.
“Moreover, look for able men from all the people…” Exodus 18:21a (ESV)

At the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1876 Congressman James Garfield, who became the 20th President of the United States, said:
"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature…”
Words to carry with us into the voting booth as we populate our Congress in this midterm election season.
“Truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14b (ESV)

The Daily Caller has reported that the Chinese hacked into Hillary Clinton’s basement server in her New York home throughout her term as Secretary of State and obtained nearly all of her emails.
The Chinese wrote a code that was embedded in the home-brew server. The code sent an instant “courtesy copy” to the Chinese of every email sent to and from Secretary Clinton.
Every email to and from President Obama, every intelligence email, every email concerning highly classified Secretary of State business the Chinese have.
Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” Isaiah 5:20 (ESV)

San Francisco based online health information website Healthline, a competitor of WebMD, has unveiled a new LGBT-inclusive sex education guide geared toward youth.
In it, the medical term for female reproductive anatomy is replaced with the words “front hole.”
Healthline argues that it is correcting the oft-repeated error of "unnecessarily describing body parts as 'male part' or 'female parts,' excluding those who identify as non-binary. Many individuals don’t see body parts as having a gender.”
We probably should avoid a health information website that’s confused about anatomy.
The LORD hates the shedding of innocent blood. Paraphrased from Proverbs 6:16-17 (ESV).

The July 2018 issue of Oprah Winfrey’s namesake magazine, Oprah, features a glowing profile on Amelia Bonow, the woman who coined the “shout your abortion” hashtag, and began a campaign to promote the “benefits” in-utero baby murder and implicitly silence women who say they were hurt by their own abortion.
The “O” magazine has millions of readers all over the world and that number certainly includes many who profess to be Christ followers.
Next time you see an “O” magazine, remember its founder and creator is an official supporter of the “shout your abortion” movement.

Regressive writer Benjamin O’Keefe attacked Obianuju Ekeocha, a pro-life advocate, via Twitter by demeaning her as a “joke of a black person” after Ekeocha quietly celebrated the demise of Michelle Wolf’s Netflix show.
Ekeocha fired back on Twitter:
“I am a joke of a black person? I was born in Nigeria, daughter of the Igbo tribe, I can talk for hours in my native language about the traditions of my people. When I die I will be buried beside my ancestors in the land passed down for generations. Benjamin, what is your tribe?”
To Regressives skin color equals worldview. People who differ get attacked.
But, this attack failed miserably.

Italian actress Asia Argento was among the first of dozens of women who accused vile movie producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault.
She gave an impassioned speech at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival denouncing Weinstein and those enabled his predatory behavior by remaining silent.
According to the New York Times’ reporting Argento, perhaps, should have rebuked herself since she was sued for sexually abusing a teenaged boy actor.
According to the Times, Argento paid $380,000 to settle that lawsuit.
The filth Hollywood puts on the screen is a reflection of the filth they live.

In spite of the recent Supreme Court victory for cake artist Jack Phillips, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission has Jack in their crosshairs once again.
On June 26, 2017, the same day SCOTUS agreed to hear the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, an attorney asked Phillips to design a cake that was pink on the inside and blue on the outside to celebrate a gender transition from male to female.
Jack declined. That design violates his religious beliefs about sex and gender identity.
Now, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission has found it probable that Jack has unlawfully discriminated so they’re after him again.

It’s not very often that Michael Phelps gets knocked off the record board. But a 10-year-old swimming phenom with a superhero name has done just that.
His name is Clark Kent Apuada. And of course, they call him “Superman.”
Clark competed in the Far West International Championship in California where he won the 100-meter butterfly, besting Michael Phelps’ 1995 world record by more than a second.
What Olympic swimmers from all over the world have been unable to do, young Clark Kent has done.
You better call him Superman.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a new Religious Liberty Task Force in the Department of Justice to defend religious freedom.
In his remarks, Sessions mentioned the Southern Poverty Law Center as a threat to religious liberty, suggesting the new task force may investigate or target the regressive smear group.
Sessions said, “One group actively targets religious groups by labeling them a ‘hate group’ based on their sincere beliefs.”
He continued, “a dangerous movement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tradition of religious freedom… it must be confronted and defeated.”
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 (ESV)

An off-Broadway production titled “The Originalist” is an engrossing and surprisingly even-handed portrait of the late conservative titan, Justice Antonin Scalia, in his element.
It is a smart, challenging, and delightful portrayal.
Upon entry, instead of a program or playbill, ushers hand attendees copies of the U.S. Constitution.
It’s hard to picture the most ardent Regressives leaving this production without having gained respect and appreciation for Justice Scalia.
So robust are his defenses of originalism that this play should be labeled a potential gateway drug to constitutional conservatism for Regressives.

The “Medicare for All” plan pushed by Senator Bernie Sanders and endorsed by a host of Democratic congressional and presidential hopefuls would increase government health care spending by $32.6 trillion over 10 years, according to a study released by George Mason University.
In order to pay for this every American citizen would have to, at a minimum, double what they’re already paying in federal income taxes.
But let’s be frank here, the George Mason University researches admitted $32.6 trillion was a conservative number. The actual price tag would be much higher

Gross domestic product (GDP) is a monetary measure of the market value of all final goods and services produced in a time period.
The oft-quoted refrain from the Obama administration was that 2% GDP growth was the “new normal” for the American economy and that we should just get used to it.
Well… that was flat wrong!
The U.S. economy exploded in the second quarter of 2018, with the GDP climbing 4.1% -- nearly doubling the 2.2% 1st quarter growth.
Wage increases, however, would put an exclamation point on this economic resurgence!
“The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.” Proverbs 14:15 (ESV)
Carol Hafner, a Democrat, is running for an Alaska U.S. House seat… but there are a few problems.
She doesn’t live in the state, has never even visited the state, and she has no plans to go the state to campaign in person.
In a statement to the Associated Press Hafner said, “Don’t lock me out because I’m not a homeboy… You ought to be thankful that I care enough and I’m interested enough and passionate enough to want to make things better.”
Something tells me the Alaskan people won’t take too kindly to the Hafner attitude.
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13 (ESV)
In an amazing development President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker have announced the United States and the E.U. have reached a deal to work toward zero tariffs.
The deal includes the E.U. importing more liquefied natural gas from the U.S., more soybeans from the U.S., and lower industrial tariffs.
So far, it seems President Trump is succeeding by doing things recent past Presidents wouldn’t even try.
Don’t look now but the E.U. just blinked on tariffs.
We’ll have to see what happens next?

Thanks to faster economic growth and a supportive atmosphere for scientific and technological innovation, the U.S. dethroned Hong Kong to retake first place as the world’s most competitive economy according to annual rankings by the Switzerland-based IMD World Competitiveness Center.
The renewed top ranking aligns with the positive U.S. growth narrative over the past year.
Venezuela is dead last in the world.
The U.S. was followed in the rankings by Hong Kong, Singapore, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
But the United States is back where we belong, at number one. I like it.
