Breaking the Cycle of Corruption
Fire Speaker Johnson and a Government Shutdown Is the Remedy We Need
In the wake of recent developments in Washington, D.C., it has become increasingly evident that reckless government spending continues to undermine the trust and welfare of the American people. Omnibus bills and continuing resolutions (CRs) have become vehicles for funding wasteful and often self-serving agendas, detached from the needs of the citizens they are supposed to serve. As a content manager committed to biblical values and constitutional principles, I find it imperative to address these issues through the lens of truth and integrity.
The Accountability Crisis in Washington
Benny Johnson’s exposé sheds light on the bipartisan practice of prioritizing lobbyist interests over the welfare of the American people. For decades, Washington has operated as a hub of self-serving deals, where both Republicans and Democrats return to their districts with promises they fail to keep. Instead, they align with ‘The Blob’—a conglomerate of lobbyists, consultants, and bureaucrats—who siphon taxpayer dollars without accountability.
American’s did NOT vote for: – Gain-of-function research – Mask & Vaccine mandates – 12 new biolabs – Massive Congressional Pay Raises – $60B more to Ukraine – DC Sports Stadium Funding – Congress blocking subpoenas for their data – Corrupt Emergency powers – Legal Process Quashing – Expansion of the Government Censorship Center – Molasses Inspection Funding!? – Woke Term Changes (“Offender” to “Justice Involved Individual”) – Transparency in concert ticket pricing – Elimination of the word “homeless” – Allowing lawmakers to opt out of Obamacare – A “Feral Swine Eradication” program Republican leadership need a lesson in who runs this country. We are not messing around. The backstabber days are over. Pass clean bills or lose your seat. The old ways of DC is finished.

Scripture reminds us of the importance of righteous leadership: “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan” (Proverbs 29:2). This ongoing pattern of deception and waste is not just a political failure; it is a moral one. It is time for leaders to govern with transparency and honor, reflecting the biblical principles of stewardship and justice.
Constitutional Concerns with Pork-Filled Spending
The recent CR, spanning over 1,500 pages, is riddled with spending items that have little to do with its stated purpose of keeping government operations running. From congressional pay raises to the establishment of additional biolabs, the bill showcases how far government has strayed from its constitutional mandate.
The U.S. Constitution entrusts Congress with the responsibility of careful fiscal stewardship (Article I, Section 9, Clause 7). Yet, bills like this one undermine that duty, prioritizing backroom deals over the welfare of the nation. As Christians, we are called to be faithful stewards of what God entrusts to us, whether in personal finances or public governance. ‘Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much’ (Luke 16:10).
The Moral Implications of Government Overreach
What does it say about our nation’s moral compass when leaders enrich themselves while the American people shoulder the burden of bloated spending? Items such as congressional pay increases and new sports stadiums reveal a deep disregard for the struggles of everyday Americans.
Government exists to serve the people, not itself. As Romans 13:4 reminds us, rulers are called to be ‘God’s servant for your good.’ Yet, when leaders exploit their positions for personal gain, they violate their God-given purpose and erode the public’s trust.
Technology and Accountability: A New Era of Transparency
In this instance, the use of AI and social media platforms played a critical role in exposing the bill’s content. Figures like Elon Musk leveraged their platforms to inform the public and hold leaders accountable. This represents a turning point, where technology is empowering citizens to demand transparency and justice.
The Bible calls us to walk in truth: ‘Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’ (John 8:32). As Christians, we should celebrate and support efforts that bring accountability to leadership while remaining vigilant against any misuse of power or technology.
A Call to Action
Now, more than ever, we must hold our leaders accountable. As citizens, we have a responsibility to advocate for constitutional integrity and fiscal responsibility. As Christians, we are called to pray for our leaders, seeking God’s wisdom and guidance for them: ‘I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority’ (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
Let us also remember Micah 6:8: ‘What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.’ By being informed and active participants in our government, we can fulfill our calling to act justly and hold our nation’s leaders to the same standard.
Finally
While the battle against wasteful spending is far from over, this recent victory demonstrates the power of unity, truth, and perseverance. Through awareness and advocacy, we have begun to challenge the corrupt traditions of Washington, D.C. As Christians, let us continue to glorify God in this fight for justice, knowing that His truth is the ultimate standard by which all leaders will be held accountable.
