As many of you have become aware, last week a display was erected at the Iowa Capitol by the Satanic Temple of Iowa. As I have responded to concerns from Iowans about the display, I wanted to share with you how the display came to be and my response. How did it happen? • The

After watching the debate last night between Gov @RonDeSantis and Gov Gavin Newsom, I’m left with this question. Of all the Republican candidates, President Trump included, which could have done as well as DeSantis? I can’t see any other candidate effectively bringing the

It’s really not that radical. I don’t want the government dictating, approving, or regulating religious expression. I would rather have an evil blasphemous display,or no display at all, than have the state dictate what they think is appropriate. I write that as a

If the government picks and chooses religious expressions, someday they will use it against Christian expressions. We are not a theocracy. I would rather have no displays than government selecting religions. The power of Christianity is Christ that lives in us. Not having

I’m shocked you are willing to give up your freedom of religious expression to the government. I’m shocked you don’t believe in freedom of speech. The display offends me as a Christian. But I find your sacrifice of freedom for governmental control astounding. But of

The lack of leadership in Iowa is stunning A Satanic ritual altar on full display in the State House And we see Republicans defending it
Readers added context
In 2019, The Satanic Temple officially was granted tax-exempt status by the IRS after President Trump signed a “religious freedom” executive order in 2017. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur… archive.ph/qFFci The display at the Iowa Capitol is protected under the first amendment of the United States Constitution. constitution.congress.gov/constitution/a…

NEW: Trump says he will compromise with Democrats on abortion so that they’re nice to him: “Both sides are going to like me.” Then he says it’s “a terrible thing” babies with heartbeats are protected in Iowa, Florida, and South Carolina. @RonDeSantis will NEVER sell out

Nothing says unhinged, recreational rage like attacking a mother for referencing her children. The minute we shrug off these attacks as the new normal, it will become the new normal. We should demand more from politicians and pundits alike. jonathanturley.org/2023/11/25/rog…

Dear President Trump, polls are not elections, primaries, or caucuses. If they were, you would have lost your first election. Please trust the voters. The last thing we need is some unelected group deciding the nominee. I thought you were against such things!
