Ralph Reed takes his shots:

Today marks the one year anniversary of the fall of Kabul after a chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces. The Taliban are now harboring al Qaeda & other terrorists. Joe Biden promised us this would never happen. It did on his watch and he is responsible.

Bauer also “prepares” Christian students for school. One of the things he warns against is “Anti-American history.” He does not want students to learn history that makes America look bad.

The court evangelical “rebels” like Laurie lined-up pretty quickly behind Donald Trump. Where were these Christian “rebels” from 2016-2020? Where are they now?:

I had a great day visiting with some married members of our law enforcement community who are participating in the @BGEA's Law Enforcement Appreciation Program in Alaska. We love our LEOs and are praying for them. pic.twitter.com/4jkCaeealx
