Answer to a meme to get a vote for Harris/Walz
Use this: Borrow it and post to your social media if you see this meme.
I see a whole lot of memes on the internet that are usually lies, inaccurate or take text out of context.
I spotted this one on facebook posted by “a friend” and felt a need to answer. If you see this meme I give full permission to borrow any of these words if it helps you point out that Harris/Wlaz best fit this meme's requirements.
This is the message I wanted to post:
Cool that you are a Harris – Walz voter:
Pro-Life Values: Defending Innocent Life (Proverbs 6:17)
The Bible clearly states that God hates the shedding of innocent blood. In the United States, gun violence is the leading causes of death for children. Kamala Harris has advocated for common-sense gun control, pushing for legislation that keeps firearms out of the hands of criminals and those deemed mentally unfit. In contrast, Donald Trump has resisted comprehensive gun reform, often aligning with lobbyists over the safety of children. Trump said we need guns for entertainment and sports.
Furthermore, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, maternal mortality rates in states with restrictive abortion laws have risen quite sharply. Harris supports a woman’s right to make medical decisions with doctors, recognizing the potential danger of forcing women into unsafe situations, which is also a defense of life.
Supporting Israel (Genesis 12:3)
God promises blessings to those who bless Israel. While both Harris and Trump have shown support for Israel, Harris's approach is grounded in diplomacy and sustainability, maintaining alliances while also ensuring human rights are upheld.
Trump’s erratic foreign policy has been criticized for destabilizing the region, undermining long-term peace efforts, and promoting division.
Debt Reduction: Serving Not the Lender (Proverbs 22:7)
The Bible warns against accumulating debt, noting that the borrower is enslaved to the lender. Under Donald Trump, the national debt exploded by $8.8 trillion, with his proposed policies for 2025 expected to add another $7 trillion according to economists.
In contrast, Kamala Harris’s plans focus on debt reduction through equitable taxation and targeted spending, adding significantly less to the national debt (around $4 trillion according to economists). This conservative approach to borrowing aligns better with Biblical principles of financial stewardship.
Promoting Work (2 Thessalonians 3:10)
“If a man won’t work, let him not eat.” This verse emphasizes the dignity of work. Under the Biden-Harris administration, the U.S. has seen the creation of 775,000 new manufacturing jobs, a strong recovery from Trump’s administration, which saw a loss of 200,000 manufacturing jobs. Harris’s focus on job creation and support for working families stands in contrast to Trump’s mismanagement, which cost many Americans their livelihoods.
Supporting Families and Marriage
Kamala Harris has consistently backed policies that support working families, including tax credits for families. This aligns with Biblical values supporting the family unit. In contrast, Trump’s economic policies often benefited the wealthy at the expense of working families, creating a wider gap between the rich and the poor.
Justice and Righteousness: Rewarding Good, Punishing Evil (Romans 13:4)
Harris, a former prosecutor, has spent her career bringing drug dealers, human traffickers, and other dangerous criminals to justice. Her actions are in line with Romans 13:4, which speaks of governing authorities rewarding the good and punishing evil.
In contrast, Donald Trump has been entangled in numerous legal controversies, including his conviction on 34 felony counts and his associations with questionable figures and human traffickers like Jeffrey Epstein and P Diddy Combs. These associations raise moral concerns about the character and integrity of his leadership.
Caring for the Stranger and the Hungry (Matthew 25:35)
Christ’s call to care for the stranger and the needy is clear. Kamala Harris has promoted policies that provide support for immigrants, advocating for pathways to citizenship for those contributing to society. In stark contrast, Donald Trump has proposed harsh immigration policies, including rounding up 12 million immigrants and placing them in detention camps.
Harris has also championed free school lunches for children, recognizing the need to feed the most vulnerable in society. Trump, however, has supported policies that would dismantle the Department of Education, a move that could strip vital resources from underprivileged children.
Based on the values listed in the meme, Kamala Harris is the candidate whose policies most closely align with the way to vogte in November from this message.

Former VP Pence has a clear message for voters
Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered a sobering reflection that underscored a pivotal moment in modern American history: "The American people deserve to know on that fateful day (January 6, 2021), President Trump also demanded I choose between him and our Constitution. Now, voters will be faced with the same choice. I chose the Constitution, and I always will."

Ultra-Orthodox Fury Over Military Enlistment Turns Deadly in Israel
Tensions surrounding military enlistment in Israel have erupted into deadly violence, exposing one of the country’s deepest and most persistent social divides. At the heart of the crisis lies a long-standing exemption that allows many ultra-Orthodox Jewish men, known as Haredim, to avoid compulsory military service in order to pursue full-time religious studies. As Israel faces prolonged security challenges and an overstretched army, efforts to enforce broader enlistment have ignited anger, protests, and, most recently, fatal clashes. A Longstanding Divide in Israeli Society Military service is a defining institution in Israel. For most Jewish citizens, compulsory enlistment is seen not only as a legal duty but as a moral obligation tied to national survival. However, since the country’s founding, ultra-Orthodox communities have largely been exempt, based on the belief that Torah study contributes spiritually to the defense of the state. Over time, this arrangement has become increasingly controversial. The ultra-Orthodox population has grown rapidly and now represents a significant portion of Israeli society. Many secular and religious-Zionist Israelis argue that the exemption places an unfair burden on those who serve, particularly during times of heightened conflict. Calls for equality in service have intensified as reserve soldiers are repeatedly mobilized and casualties mount. Renewed Push for Enlistment Recent court rulings and political pressure have pushed the government to reconsider blanket exemptions. Israel’s Supreme Court has ruled that prolonged unequal treatment in enlistment is unconstitutional, forcing lawmakers to draft new policies. As a result, authorities began issuing draft notices to ultra-Orthodox men who had previously been shielded from service. This shift was perceived by many Haredi leaders as an existential threat to their way of life. They argue that military service undermines religious devotion, exposes young men to secular influences, and weakens tightly knit religious communities. Influential rabbis urged followers to resist enlistment, framing the issue as a spiritual battle rather than a civic dispute. Protests Turn Violent What began as demonstrations quickly escalated. Large crowds of ultra-Orthodox protesters gathered in several cities, blocking roads, clashing with police, and setting fires. Tensions reached a breaking point when confrontations turned deadly, with reports of serious injuries and at least one fatality linked to the unrest. The violence shocked the nation. While protests against enlistment are not new, the deadly outcome marked a dramatic escalation. Security forces responded with riot control measures, arrests, and road closures, further inflaming tempers within already volatile communities. Political Fallout and Public Anger The deadly clashes have placed immense pressure on Israel’s political leadership. Coalition governments often rely on ultra-Orthodox parties for parliamentary support, making decisive action politically risky. Critics accuse leaders of prioritizing coalition survival over national unity and equality. Public anger has surged, particularly among families of soldiers currently serving. Many argue that continued exemptions erode social cohesion and undermine trust in state institutions. Social media and opinion columns are filled with calls for universal service, while others warn that forcing enlistment could tear the social fabric even further. The Ultra-Orthodox Perspective From within the Haredi community, the crisis is viewed very differently. Many see state enforcement as persecution of religious life. Community leaders insist that Torah study is a sacred duty equal to military defense, and they reject narratives portraying them as unwilling to contribute to society. Some ultra-Orthodox citizens do serve in specialized military units designed to accommodate religious practices, but these programs have not been widely embraced. Skepticism remains high, fueled by fears of cultural erosion and loss of autonomy. A Nation at a Crossroads The deadly turn in protests underscores how unresolved the enlistment issue remains. Israel is grappling with fundamental questions: How can it balance religious freedom with civic equality? Can a society under constant security threat afford exemptions for a growing population? And is compromise still possible after violence has entered the equation? Experts warn that without meaningful dialogue, the situation could worsen. Some propose alternative national service options for ultra-Orthodox men, while others advocate gradual integration rather than abrupt enforcement. Trust-building measures, they argue, are essential to prevent further bloodshed. Conclusion The deadly unrest over military enlistment is more than a policy dispute—it is a reflection of Israel’s struggle to reconcile tradition, security, and equality in a rapidly changing society. As the nation mourns the loss of life and confronts rising divisions, the challenge ahead is clear. Finding a solution that respects religious identity while ensuring shared responsibility may be one of Israel’s most critical tests yet. The outcome will shape not only the future of military service, but the cohesion and character of the country itself.
