WND's Newcombe Still Misfiring In Mixing Religion, Patriotism -x

We’ve documented how WorldNetDaily columnist Jerry Newcombe, in portraying himself as a patriotic minister, is prone to misfiring in mixing has brand of right-wing Christianity with patriotism. His agenda-pushing has continued:

Of course, Newcombe continues to be prone to misfires. He wrote in a May 11 column defending the Elefctoral College:

As we celebrate America at 250, there is a part of our founding in the Constitution(Article II, Section 1, Clause 2) about which some on the Left gnash their teeth – the Electoral College.

For example, a few days ago, a former Biden administration official asked publicly, “What if we selected our President by letting the person who got the most votes take the office, instead of the Electoral College?”

Townhall.com reported on this incident: “Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is being mocked across the internet after he suggested at a town hall event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that abolishing the Electoral College would have resulted in a Democrat in the White House. Many critics were quick to point out that in the 2024 election, Donald Trump won not only the Electoral College but also the popular vote in a landslide.”

In fact, Trump won just 49.8 percent of the popular vote, which isn’t even a majority, let alone a “landslide.”

Newcombe spent his June 9 column complaining:

In short, not every American is happy about America at 250 – to put it mildly. That’s astounding – especially when you consider those who will risk their lives to come here, to try and get a shot at the potential opportunities America can still offer.

Meanwhile, it is worthy of note that when America experienced its first major birthday of sorts – that of fifty years – two of the prominent signers and designers of American independence both died on that very day. On July 4, 1826, both Thomas Jefferson, chief author of the Declaration of Independence, and John Adams, a key founding father who 50 years earlier had suggested that Jefferson write it, breathed their last.
[…]
While some Americans today may not seem to appreciate America at 250, it’s nice to reflect on what Thomas Jefferson and John Adams appreciated about America at 50. God-given rights are non-negotiable. That was true in 1776, in 1826, and in 2026.

Newcombe spent his June 23 column whining that his brand of right-wing Christianity is not be forced onto the next generation:

As America celebrates its 250th birthday this year, large numbers of our fellow citizens act as if it is “mourning in America,” not “morning in America.”

This is amazing to me. In a nation to which millions of people around the world aspire to migrate, many of our fellow citizens think about America as being evil, not good.

Passing on the Christian faith to the next generation is an extremely high priority. I am privileged to be involved with Providence Forum (a part of Coral Ridge Ministries), which is dedicated to that proposition.

In fact, in one of our documentaries on America’s Judeo-Christian heritage, we focus on the importance of education. The documentary is called “The Beginning of Wisdom,” based on the Bible verse that says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Here is the first 12 minutes of that film.

Modern Americans don’t realize how important education was to early Americans, precisely for passing on faith to the next generation. It was this impulse that caused the Puritans to found Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and the rest.
[…]
We have lost our way primarily because of the education system. The history books have been rewritten, and God has been erased.

But despite the barrage of bad news, parents can wield more influence for good in the lives of their children than perhaps we realize.

Newcombe would insist that it’s “bad news” that religion is not being forced on children in school.
