Biblical Deportations & Trump 2.0? Yes, Please.

Written by Scott K. James

Trump’s prayer-packed, Bible-anchored comeback is sending the left into full cardiac arrest—and I’m over here praising God and passing the ammo.

The Colorado Times Recorder (aka Leftist Weekly with Fancier Fonts) just published a piece originally from Baptist News Global—yeah, I did a double-take too—that dives into how Trump’s second-term team is quoting scripture while tightening border control. The tone reads like a warning siren to woke readers, but it plays like a worship anthem to folks like me.

The Bullet Point Brief

  • Progressive panic: Trump’s team dares to pray publicly and quote the Bible without melting.
  • “Biblical deportations”: That phrase alone triggered half of Boulder and made me spit out my coffee—sounds more like divine border control to me.
  • About time: Faith-based advisors are steering policy instead of power-drunk elitists who’ve never opened a Bible unless it came with latte foam art.
  • Church-state hysteria: Spoiler alert—they still don’t understand what separation of church and state actually means.
  • Truth bomb: The most functional version of this republic requires godly people guiding it. Period.

My Bottom Line

Look, if your blood pressure rose just from reading “Biblical deportations,” take a breath—and maybe pick up an actual Bible sometime between your drag brunches and climate protests. This article was intended to terrify progressives into thinking Trump is ushering in some kind of Christian Taliban. But as someone who actually believes in divine order and not just government overreach in rainbow wrappers, I’m here for it. All of it.

Conservative Christians aren’t trying to make America some boots-and-Bible theocracy—we’re trying to live out our faith in public life without getting canceled by people who worship Fauci like he parted the Red Sea. And here’s the kicker: The founding fathers saw all this coming. John Adams said it best—a constitutional republic only works if it’s run by a moral people guided by something higher than journalistic gaslighting or TikTok trends.

So when President Trump surrounds himself with believers who pray before they write policy—and knows exactly where their authority comes from—yeah, I’m freakin’ ecstatic. Better Psalms in the Oval Office than pride flags on embassy bingo cards.
