Friday Morning Live

The American republic is a representative system of governing; therefore, the integrity of our elections is paramount. If we cannot ensure legal, proper, and reliable elections, our republic cannot and will not survive. 

The elections of 2020 clearly reveal we have significant widespread disparities throughout the nation. It is my belief that election fraud has been taking place for years, and many positions of government are occupied by unelected criminals. The investigating work conducted by Dinesh Dsouza and Mike Lindell clearly shows major and systemic fraud took place across the nation. 

It is the responsibility of each state legislator to ensure legal and proper elections are conducted in their state. This is not taking place effectively in every state. North Carolina is one of those failing states. In North Carolina, the Governor is responsible for the State Board of Election (https://www.ncsbe.gov/). What a failed concept. It’s common sense that elections should be overseen by a non-partisan group. Why has the North Carolina General Assembly done so little to ensure the integrity and security of our election process? Why was the North Carolina General Assembly unwilling to have a forensic audit done on the 2020 elections? There are a number of questions related to the political process and election integrity in North Carolina that needs to be resolved before the mid-terms and 2024 elections. 

(The Epoch Times, June 17, 2022): “Texas Republicans have passed a resolution stating that President Joe Biden was “not legitimately elected,” and that “substantial” election fraud in key metropolitan areas influenced the results of the 2020 presidential election in favor of Biden. “We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3, 2020,” states a resolution passed on June 18, the last day of a three-day biennial Texas Republican convention held in Houston, the Texas Tribune reported. “We believe that substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/texas-gop-passes-resolution-declaring-biden-not-legitimately-elected_4543841.html

(Rasmussen Reports, July 07, 2022): “Many voters still believe cheating affected the 2020 presidential election, and a majority fear the upcoming midterm elections could be tainted by cheating. A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and The National Pulse finds that 52% of Likely U.S. voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 36% who think it is Very Likely. Forty-three percent (43%) don’t believe it’s likely cheating affected the 2020 outcome, including 30% who say it’s Not At All Likely. These findings are similar to previous surveys in May and March. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Fifty percent (50%) of voters think it is at least somewhat likely there will be widespread cheating that will affect the outcome of this fall’s congressional elections, including 24% who say it’s Very Likely. Forty-one percent (41%) don’t believe cheating is likely to affect the November midterms, including 22% who say it’s Not At All Likely.” https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/public_surveys/election_integrity_50_think_cheating_likely_in_midterms

Remarks: At the center of much of the controversy and possible voter fraud is Ballot Harvesting and Drop Boxes. There are supposed to be strong guidelines and clear protocols to ensure the legality and integrity of the absentee ballots, but it appears that it has become an illegal means to steal elections. It appears that most of the questionable outcomes of political races came from questionable absentee ballots. It’s no wonder that the Democrat party and Mr. Biden wants to expand the use of them.

(The Washington Stand, July 27, 2022): U.S. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) said that “a Biden executive order could potentially use taxpayer dollars to fund the use of ballot harvesting, which could include the use of unsupervised ballot drop boxes, in U.S. elections — leaving election integrity experts highly concerned about how this could lead to potential voter fraud.” https://washingtonstand.com/news/biden-is-using-taxpayer-dollars-to-fund-ballot-harvesting-and-drop-boxes

(The Epoch Times, June 8 2022): “A former U.S. congressman from Philadelphia has pleaded guilty to several election fraud charges, including bribery and falsification of voting records, according to the U.S. Justice Department. Former Rep. Michael Myers (D-Pa.), 79, admitted to bribing an election judge in Philadelphia, Domenick J. Demuro, to illegally add votes for certain individuals, including candidates for federal and state offices.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/former-us-congressman-pleads-guilty-to-election-fraud_4519937.html

(Imprimis, October 20, 2021): “Sixteen years ago, in 2005, the Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election Reform issued a report that proposed a uniform system of requiring a photo ID in order to vote in U.S. elections. The report also pointed out that widespread absentee voting makes vote fraud more likely. Voter files contain ineligible, duplicate, fictional, and deceased voters, a fact easily exploited using absentee ballots to commit fraud. Citizens who vote absentee are more susceptible to pressure and intimidation. And vote-buying schemes are far easier when citizens vote by mail.” https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/ensuring-election-integrity-anti-democratic/

What are some common sense measures to minimize voter fraud and ensure fair and legal elections? Common Sense!

• Voter ID for all voters
• Return to Election Day voting
• Absentee voting to be rare and the exception
• Absentee voting regulations must include verification of ID, and two witnesses, and one not family
• Absentee ballots are turned into County Board of election office or mailed by registered mailed only
• States, by law, must keep their voting records current to the year
• No same day registering and voting

On Tuesday, 21 June, during our weekly Stand call, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) shared that many citizens accused of insurrection or crimes related to activities from 6 January 2021 are being held without bond and confined in deployable living condition in the Washington DC jail. 

According to Congresswomen Taylor Green, many citizens have been jailed for many months without due process of the law, denied legal representation, with limited or no family visitation. She also informed the listeners that a huge number of the detainees are held in solitary confinement because they have not been COVID-19 vaccinated. This kind of unconstitutional confinement is heard of from other nations like China or Iran, but not here in America. How is this possible in the nation that has championed liberty and freedom to the nations of the world? 

What is the real intent behind these so-called January 6th Congressional hearings? I believe they are about political posturing and discrediting President Trump.

(The January 6 Insurrection Hoax, September 2021): “Notwithstanding all the hysterical rhetoric surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, two critical things stand out. The first is that what happened was much more hoax than insurrection. In fact, in my judgment, it wasn’t an insurrection at all. An “insurrection,” as the dictionary will tell you, is a violent uprising against a government or other established authority. Unlike the violent riots that swept the country in the summer of 2020—riots that caused some $2 billion in property damage and claimed more than 20 lives—the January 6 protest at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. lasted a few hours, caused minimal damage, and the only person directly killed was an unarmed female Trump supporter who was shot by a Capitol Police officer. It was, as Tucker Carlson said shortly after the event, a political protest that “got out of hand.”

At the rally preceding the events in question, Donald Trump had suggested that people march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically”—these were his exact words—in order to make their voices heard. He did not incite a riot; he stirred up a crowd. Was that, given the circumstances, imprudent? Probably. Was it an effort to overthrow the government? Hardly.” https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/january-6-insurrection-hoax/

According to Genesis 1:27, God made them male and female, and nothing in between. This idea that we choose our gender is a direct assault against Divine Truth and the sovereign rule of the Creator. This belief that we choose or change our gender is a frail attempt to replace God by arrogantly defying His plan for us. We are male and female beyond our physical expressions but are male or female from the core of our souls. Our God ordained gender is an essential means to serve the Lord and His plan for our lives. I believe that our true identity will go on with us into eternity. Just as the Lord created all the unique and beautiful ethnicities, He also created us male and female for His own good pleasure. 

This entire transgender movement is a dark and sinister plan to replace God and His will for His creation. Its roots are centered in Marxism and its works are a twisted sexual perversion. This crusade is not about equal rights for the oppressed but indoctrination of an ungodly behavior. Most of this transgender movement is sexually charged. What’s most disturbing is that the vast majority of this ideology is targeting young children. This sorted and twisted belief will never end. This entire Sexual Orientation Gender Identity (SOGI) movement is depraved and dark, with no boundaries in sight. In past seasons, we were battling to keep boys out of girl’s restrooms. Now we are fighting to keep Drag Queens from stripping before our kindergarteners. Sin is depraved and regressive. We who hold to a Biblical worldview must defend what is sacred and precious to us. Stand against the evil darkness! Refuse to sit silently by while evil captures our culture and our children. “Not on my watch!” 

What children and youth need to hear is that God loves them and that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, just the way they are. They are not a mistake and God Almighty has a wonderful plan and purpose for their life, and in Jesus Christ that plan can be discovered and fulfilled. (Dr. Leon Threatt)

According to Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel (alert@libertyaction.org), here is some of what’s in HR 7910, the misnamed Protecting Our Kids Act, which has already passed the House: 

• Increases the age requirement to purchase certain guns to 21. This means someone can join the military and die for our nation or get married and have children but cannot own certain guns.
• Requires registration to transfer a gun to a family member.
• Mandates all firearms be traceable and expands the prohibition on “ghost guns,” which are firearms built from purchased parts.
• Provides 750 million dollars over the next five years to incentivize states to pass Red Flag laws, which don’t work and often have little due process protections.
• Those convicted of a non-spousal “domestic” misdemeanor (far less than a felony) will lose their Second Amendment rights for a minimum of three years.

Remarks: There may be some commonsense changes needed to protect families from the growing gun violence, however this attempt by the Democrats is not it. We have seen repeatedly the left attempting to capitalize on the growing violence around us with more and more restrictions against our Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is not in place for the right to bear arms to kill deer and bear, but to defend ourselves, families and communities against violence and tyrannical government. Yes, the founding leaders of this Republic put in place the right of the citizens to defend themselves against violence and tyranny of government. I pray we never come to that, but that right is written in the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Violence and yes, gun violence, is a matter of the heart. People kill, not guns. Guns are merely tools used, for the law abiding to defend and protect our families. For the lawless and violent, guns are used to steal and kill. (Dr. Leon Threatt)

Charlotte Mayor and Charlotte City Council election: The voters of Charlotte will return to the polls on 26 July 2022 for their general election. Early voting for these races will be 7-23 July 2022. The winners of these races for mayoral and city council will take office 6 September 2022.

• Removal of Roe v. Wade: On Friday, 24 June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade: After 49 years and over 62 million children terminated. 
• Voter ID in NC: On Thursday, June 23 at 4:33 p.m., the Supreme Court ruled that two Republican legislators in North Carolina can join a lawsuit to defend the constitutionality of the state’s voter-identification law. In an 8-1 opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court ruled that the Republican legislators have a right to intervene in the lawsuit. https://www.scotusblog.com/2022/06/north-carolina-republican-lawmakers-win-right-to-intervene-in-court-and-defend-states-voter-id-law/
• Coach Joe Kennedy: The U.S. Supreme Court on 24 June upheld the right of former high school football coach to take a knee in quiet prayer after football games in a 6 to 3 decision. https://firstliberty.org/coach-joe-kennedy/?utm_campaign=googlegrant&utm_medium=google&utm_source=coachkennedy&gclid=CjwKCAjwk_WVBhBZEiwAUHQCmTtwGhuhjp8EWp0JKhb-kZBK19xmQAFKBpGjIM6NqQ7WM-kIOdC3-BoCalYQAvD_BwE
• U.S. Supreme Court Affirmed that New York State’s Gun Restrictions Were Unconstitutional: On Thursday, June 23, the Supreme Court stated that the U.S. Constitution protects an individual's right to carry a handgun in public for self-defense. The 6-3 ruling, with the conservative justices in the majority and liberal justices in dissent, struck down New York State's limits on carrying concealed handguns outside the home. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-supreme-court-strikes-down-new-york-limits-concealed-handguns-2022-06-23/

Here are a number of major corporations and business who support abortion. I would recommend we not give them our business.

(Fox 13, Salt Lake City, June 24, 2022): The Hill published a list of the companies found nationwide that will offer travel-related abortion benefits.

• Dick's Sporting Goods is reimbursing employees $4,000 in travel expenses.
• Amazon will also provide $4,000 for travel expenses outside of 100 miles of an employee's home.
• Starbucks will reimburse all abortion travel expenses not available within 100 miles
• Yelp will pay for travel costs
• Microsoft will reimburse employees for travel expenses related to an abortion
• Apple will cover all travel expenses
• Netflix will pay up to $10,000 for travel reimbursement for abortions
• Tesla pays for travel and lodging for employees who get an abortion outside their home state.

The following companies will also be covering travel expense for employees to receive an abortion, according to The Hill:

• Levi Strauss & Co.
• JPMorgan Chase
• Citigroup
• Mastercard
• Lyft
• Disney
• Meta
• Comcast
• Airbnb
• Patagonia
• DoorDash
• PayPal
• Reddit
• Meta
• Zillow

Take courage, be strong, and refuse to faint. We have seen some significant victories in the last week, but the war still rages. The Lord spoke to young Joshua as he was soon to lead the nation of Israel into the promise land. Those words are most fitting for us today. “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left…” (Joshua 1:5-7 NKJV). 

What a glorious future we have in Christ Jesus!

We have a responsibility to protect and defend the innocent. We have been charged by holy writ to do all we can to defend and protect the fatherless and the widow. “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, ‘But we knew nothing about this,’ does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?” (Proverbs 24:11,12 NIV). 

Love Life Charlotte is an organized endeavor of many churches defending the innocent preborn children that’s in the womb. Take a moment to review their history, vision, and mission to rescue the voiceless preborn child and to support and encourage mothers who keep their children. According to their vision and mission statement, “Love Life is uniting and mobilizing the church to create a culture of love and life that will result in an end to abortion and the orphan crisis.” www.lovelife.org  

This week on the Threatt Report I will be discussing the fight for the preborn with Jonathan DeVore, the director of the Charlotte region of the Love Life organization.

18 Major Airlines, FAA, and DOT to Be Sued Over COVID Vaccine Mandates— First lawsuit against Atlas Air has been filed (The Epoch Times, May 25, 2022): “John Pierce Law has filed a lawsuit against Atlas Air, on behalf of US Freedom Flyers (USFF) and Atlas employees, and plans to sue all major airlines, 18 altogether, plus the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT), contending that the vaccine mandates imposed by these agencies on the airlines’ employees infringed on their constitutional, religious, and medical liberties. The lawsuit against Atlas Air was filed in federal court in the Southern District of Florida, with over 100 plaintiffs pursuing litigation.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/18-major-airlines-faa-and-dot-to-be-sued-over-covid-vaccine-mandates_4484295.html

Remarks: There continues to be floods of information of vaccine injuries and deaths, yet the pharmaceutical companies, Deep State and the far Left continues to push vaccines. How many citizens must face major injury or die before the madness ends? (Dr. Leon Threatt)

Monkeypox ‘Games’ Could Lay Groundwork for WHO Pandemic Response Takeover (The Epoch Times, May 24, 2022): “The World Health Organization (WHO) is responding to a string of monkeypox outbreaks, and will be convening an emergency meeting on the virus and its global spread. In terms of government power, the timing of this outbreak couldn’t be better for the WHO—which may soon be granted powers to manage laws on global health outbreaks, and which is oddly well-positioned for a monkeypox outbreak following a recent “germ-games” call, and recent incidents tied to figures who include Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/monkeypox-games-could-lay-groundwork-for-who-pandemic-takeover_4484764.html

Remarks: I have absolutely no confidence in the World Health Organization or Mr. Bill Gates to protect the world or America from Monkeypox or any other outbreak. Gates and WHO have shown their desire and quest for global dominance. The America people must remain vigilant and refuse to relinquish our national sovereignty to WHO or any other globalist takeover. (Dr. Leon Threatt)

State Farm Bales on Full Apology (Family Research Council, May 26, 2022): “To no one's surprise but theirs, Americans didn't respond too kindly when the insurance company was caught dishing out transgender books to five-year-old kids. Angry customers started ringing agents' phones off the hook, asking what the devil they were doing wading into the LGBT debate. Headquarters blinked. But instead of touching the hot stove and backing away, State Farm got burned by another mistake: believing it could please both sides.” https://www.frc.org/updatearticle/20220526/state-farm

Remarks: It’s important to me to do business with companies that best align to my Biblical Worldview. I don’t do business with State Farm, but if I had, I would be looking for another insurance company. (Dr. Leon Threatt)

The most important decision a person can make in life is a decision to accept or reject Jesus Christ. All of eternity hangs on that one decision. We all have some family members and loved ones that may not have fully surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. Time is so very important. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (St. John 14:6 NIV).

The Bible is so very clear about God’s heart towards innocent human life. “Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death” (Leviticus 24:17 NIV). The God of the Old Covenant is the same Almighty God of the New Covenant. The heart, nature and will of the Father has never changed. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8 KJV). Because of the cross of Jesus Christ, the Father’s response is uniquely different. Through the finished work of Jesus Christ, we are extended grace and mercy, yet the wages of sin and disobedience is the same. The day one sins they are worthy of death. Click here to read more.

We must pray for America, the family, the church, and for the hearts of broken lives. What are the answers for our nation? Are the answers found in more police, more laws, more gun restrictions, and more mental health funding? 

What is clear and absolutely certain is that America desperately needs God’s divine intervention. We cannot restore and reclaim America without His aide and care. We must have an awakening of His love and eternal truth to recenter our lives and our nation. (Dr. Leon Threatt)

I believe the Lord Jesus will return in our lifetime. I also believe He has a sure and compassionate plan for you and me in this hour. He has a reason for His delay in His return. “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise (of His Return), as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”(Second Peter 3:9 KJV). Jesus has not returned in part because He is unwilling to see any perish. He is giving as many as are willing to come to Him before a season of Tribulation comes upon the earth. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your longsuffering heart for lost humanity. May we be good steward of the time we have been graced with, and may we too not be willing that any would perish.
