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.

In an interview with David Rubenstein, retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy explained his reasoning when the Obergefell case was before the court.
Most will recall this as the case that gave legal sanction to same-sex marriage.
In the interview, Kennedy said “it just seemed wrong to me over 100,000 children adopted by same-sex couples couldn’t have their parents married.”
By doing so, Kennedy simply foisted his privately held opinion on the matter onto the entire American Republic without any regard whatsoever to the law of the land or the Constitution.
We have an activist judiciary that has weaponized feelings.

Kalin Bennett was diagnosed as a young child with autism spectrum disorder. He did not walk until he was 4 years old. He didn’t speak until he was 7 years old and he couldn’t hold a conversation until he was 8 years old.
Kalin is now the first person in NCAA history to earn a scholarship to play Division 1 college basketball after being diagnosed with autism.
This fall, Kalin will play basketball at Kent State University. At 6’10, 270 lbs. Bennett had numerous options but he chose Kent State because of their demonstrable commitment to autism awareness.
Congratulations Kalin.

Former CNN commentator and Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill was invited to speak at the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with Palestine as the ‘representative of civil society.’
In his pre-written, prepared remarks, Hill urged the United Nations to support Palestinian uses of violence against Israel as a viable “political possibility” and concluded by saying “justice requires a free Palestine from the River to the Sea.”
That phrase is used by people who believe Israel must be eradicated.
Hill was fired by CNN, but he’s still teaching at Temple.

With the near unanimous agreement and celebration of same-sex relationships and the LGBTQ+ political agenda reflected across our culture it can seem as though everyone must agree with this stuff.
Well, that’s just not so.
Voters in Taiwan have rejected legalizing same-sex marriage in a series of referendums.
They refused to amend the definition of marriage reflected in their Civil Code.
This is just an example of the reality that not everyone is going along with the Spirit of the age.
The Taiwanese people have rejected this. The body of Christ must also stand strong.
“Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female.” Matthew 19:4 (ESV).

In a recent capitulation to regressive ideological orthodoxy, Eastern Michigan University canned its production of “The Vagina Monologues” because of its lack of “diversity and inclusion.”
The school’s Women’s Resource Center found the production objectionable because the play’s version of feminism excludes some so-called women because not all women have vaginas.
The play is nothing more than an ode to cis-gender privilege.
You see, on the intersectionality hierarchy feminism scores below transgenderism so in a contest between the two transgenderism prevails.
It’s rather telling how readily discardable women have become to regressives.

In a moment of candor, Dylan Pontiff, one of the organizers of a Louisiana Drag Queen Story Hour event, admitted what many Christians have long known to be true.
Pontiff, a self-described homosexual man who also performs in nightclubs as a drag queen, admitted the Drag Queen Story Hour events are intended to “groom the next generation.”
He made the striking admission during a city-parish council meeting.
The world offers 3 to 8-year-olds Drag Queen Story Hours for grooming. The Church often offers graham crackers and apple juice.
We must evangelize and disciple our children. If we don’t, the world will.

Many who oppose Christianity target their hostility on our foundation, the Bible. They say it is unreliable because Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are contradictory accounts of the creation story.
In actuality, the 2 chapters are complimentary and not contradictory.
When Jesus was asked about marriage, He quoted from both chapters 1 and 2, saying that He made them both to be male and female in the beginning. "And for this cause shall a man leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife."
Genesis 1 is an overview of the creation story and Genesis 2 is an up close examination of day 6. If Jesus relies on them both, so can we.
“For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you” Isaiah 60:2 (ESV).

Emile Ratelband, a 69-year-old man from the Netherlands, is suing to legally change his age to 49.
He said, he lives in a society where people can change their sex if they want to, people can change their names if they want to, so why should he be able to change his age.
At age 49, he says he’d likely have better luck gaining employment and purchasing homes and vehicles.
If biology can be made irrelevant, why not chronology as well?
“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” Psalm 107:1 (ESV).

America has a long history of giving thanks to the LORD as a nation. In 1789 George Washington, President of the young American nation which had only a few years earlier emerged from the American Revolution, called an official celebratory “Day of thanksgiving and prayer.”
When we consider all that has transpired in our personal lives, in our families, and in our nation there is only one appropriate response.
Let praise to our God flow from our lips as we gather with our families and give thanks.

Following Jeff Sessions resignation from the Attorney General post, several names have surfaced as possible replacements. Among them is Judge Janice Rogers Brown.
Judge Brown served alongside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh while they both were on the powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Appointed by former President George W. Bush, Brown was widely regarded as the most conservative voices on the bench.
She is well liked and well respected and she just happened to be in the White House in September.
She would be an excellent choice.

Though many in the media denied the imminent threat posed by the migrant caravan that originated in Honduras, the first caravaners have now arrived.
In 1966, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, devised a strategy to overwhelm the New York welfare system by adding as many people as possible to the welfare rolls to topple the existing system and replace it with a national system of annual income guaranteed by the government.
This migrant caravan issue, aided by anonymous financial supporters, is the Cloward-Piven strategy applied on the national stage.

In the course of my New Orleans Saints putting a beat-down on the Los Angeles Rams, Quarterback Drew Brees threw a touchdown pass to tight end Benjamin Watson.
Watson is passionately pro-life. He addressed the 2018 March for Life in Washington D.C. and has purchased ultrasound machines for pregnancy resource centers around the country.
During the game, Watson celebrated his touchdown by announcing to the world that he and his wife were expecting twins. The twins are the Watsons’ 6th and 7th children.
Children are blessings from the LORD. Who Dat!

Some United Nation Member States are ready to sign what is titled the “Global Compact for Migration” into effect.
The Compact would declare migration is a human right.
European lawmakers, particularly Germany, seem content with the Compact, which would codify the globalist objective of establishing open borders as a human right.
The Compact would eradicate the need for definitions for illegal aliens, refugees, and asylum seekers and describe them all as migrants.
Isn’t interesting that this is happening at the exact same time the Honduran caravan is heading toward the U.S. southern border?

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that criticism of Muhammad, the founder of Islam, constitutes incitement to hatred and therefore is not protected free speech.
The Strasbourg, France-based court has jurisdiction over 47 European countries and its rulings are legally binding on all 28 member states of the European Union.
The decision has effectively legitimized the Islamic blasphemy code in the name of preserving religious peace in Europe.
It establishes the dangerous legal precedent that authorizes European states to curtail free speech rights if such speech is deemed offensive to Muslims.

The unemployment rate held at a 49 year low while wages increased 3.1%. That is the fastest wages rate increase in nearly a decade.
In the face of our currently booming economy, a remaining complaint has been the lagging wage rates. Though the economy roared, wages remained stagnant.
Well, that last objection has just been shredded since the Wall Street Journal is reporting wages have now increased 3.1%.
Rising tides lift all ships. Thankfully, wages are now part of that rising tide.
On the financial front, it kinda feels like it’s morning in America again.

Florida law enforcement officials foiled a plot by two middle school girls who planned to kill over a dozen smaller children, eat their flesh, and drink their blood.
The 6th and 7th grade girls, ages 11 and 12, were arrested at Bartow Middle School. The girls had a several weapons including a butcher knife, a knife sharpener, and a pizza cutter. When asked about their motivation the girls said they were Satan worshippers and they planned to drink their victims’ blood out of a goblet they were found with.
Warfare people, this warfare is spiritual.

Live Action released a report detailing how millions of dollars in taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood are allowing it to spend millions of dollars to elect politicians who support in-utero baby murder.
Taxpayer funding frees up donors to direct their money to Planned Parenthood’s political agenda rather than to fund what nominal health services they provide.
Planned Parenthood’s political arm spent $20 million on its own and another $30 million in joint efforts during the 2018 midterms.
They also spent $160 million for “public policy” and “movement building” as well as another $85 million on fundraising last year.

The 14th Amendment says “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
The phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was clearly formed as a limitation on who would be granted citizenship due to being born on American soil.
We know this because the children born to foreign diplomats in America are not granted U.S. citizenship.
The children of illegal aliens are no more subject to U.S. jurisdiction than the children of foreign diplomats.

According to the Morgan Stanley bank, tax refunds in 2019 will be 26% greater than returns in 2018.
In dollars, this is $62 billion more than last years $235 billion in refunds that were issued as of April 2018.
That is a total of $297 billion that will be repopulated through the economy all due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Say what you will, but President Trump has fulfilled many of his campaign promises.
Record low unemployment, 4% GDP growth, a booming economy and the latest news of higher tax refunds this can only be described as more winning.
I like it.

There is much at stake in tomorrow’s midterm election. Issues such as the sanctity of life, religious liberty, the security of our borders, our response to Islamic fundamentalism, and the advance of the radical LGBTQ+ agenda are all on the ballot.
The American Family Association is calling on God’s people to fast and pray today for God’s will to be done on Election Day.
God has shown great mercy to our nation despite our manifest sins.
Let’s thank him for his undeserved grace. And let us appeal to the God of heaven to intervene and motivate his people to select godly leadership to guide our country
