Establishment Media Outraged by White House Sponsored Christian Prayer Event
Liberty Daily ^ | 5/17/26 | Tyler Durden

The mainstream media’s outrage over religious expressions by government institutions and politicians is highly selective. At bottom, it the event is Christian, they attack. If it’s any other religion, they applaud.

Did the mainstream media publish indignant diatribes when leftist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani held Muslim dinners at City Hall and Gracie Manor for Ramadan? The answer is no, of course they didn’t. Because Islam is celebrated by modern liberal movements and Christianity is despised. And, it’s important to take note of what leftists hate, because if they hate it, it’s probably good.

Progressive outlets are in an uproar this week over a White House sponsored Christian prayer event scheduled to take place on this Sunday at the National Mall. The Trump administration and the Freedom 250 nonprofit will host “Rededicate 250,” which will feature Cabinet members and conservative religious leaders to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary.

According to event organizers, the program aims to reflect on the faith of America’s founders and serve as a national moment of rededication. Participants include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Leftists journalists and Democrats are accusing the Trump Administration of violating the US Constitution and the “separation of church and state” by sponsoring the event. This is, of course, a blatant misinterpretation of the 1st Amendment, but it’s also an opportunity to debunk many of the claims made by the left-wing when it comes to religious expression by government officials.

Let them cope and seethe. Our nation WAS built on Christian principles and there is nothing wrong with our leaders praying for our nation.

Funny how Islam is a symbol of diversity yet Christianity isn’t. But don’t you need both to symbolize diversity ?

As John Adams said:

“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity…I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”

He also stated:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

“the event is Christian, they attack.”

Spirit of anti-Christ at work. I believe it will only increase and the attacks will get worse into the future.

Loons indeed.

If it had been a Muslim prayer event or a Wiccan even, or a Satanic event…
The media would have cheered for embracing “diversity”!

Those against everything Christian are antichrists.
1 John 2:18
“18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.“

So, it’s not kool to have a prayer gathering in the White House, but it is Kool to lay out prayer rugs in the middle of Times Square?

Let ‘the record” show! This nation has been founded on Christian principles, which are the foundation and bedrock of our laws. In formulating the fabric of this nation,we were severing ourselves from the church/state, thereby throwing ourselves directly on the mercy seat, pleading for divine governance, guidance, and protection while weave the fabric called America.

Looking at the conflict that ensued, there is no other answer than the Hand of Providence was present throughout. ‘That winter” the spirit of Job did visit. Those who suffered could be counted worthy, as Job had become, with renewed spirit, strength, and purpose.

As of the 1770’s, all the major colleges that were established, were producers of trained clergy. Therefore, when the discussions of how to formulate the nation, we were not without shepherds worthy of counsel.

So, in today’s America, when der dumbkopf rises to declare that America is not a Christian nation, y’all may momentarily cease what you are doing, thank divinity that you are not that mentally hamstrung, and then answer that statement with knowledge tempered in confidence and peace.

Meanwhile, President Trump is also calling for a Nationwide Shabbat. That will really piss off the crats.

Established media?
I call B S
Fake news is what they call news or established news, this embellishment is to reassert and enforce their slant to the left which is so transparent that all but the truly stupid should can or do see it. TDS causes blindness evidently.

What would these freaks have done back in 1782 when Bibles were purchased by the Continental Congress?
CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion nor prohibit the free exercise thereof.
There is NO MENTION of the church in the establishment clause!
It references religion!
In the founding of our country it was well known that our government does not function without the God of creation! Not some moon god or blubbery shaped fat man god or the thousands of gods of the Hindu religion. The men who created this nation in the founding documents could only be referring to one true God and Savior!

Sixty years ago the 'best and brightest' went into journalism. Now 'journalists' are the kind of people who used to sell encyclopedias door to door.
