Faithwire is tied to the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and says of themselves “Are you sick of the fear, division and hopelessness that consumes politics and culture? We are too, and we’re doing something about it: Welcome to Faithwire.”
It is this broadly Christian group launched by CBN on Sep 21, 2016 that lamented the recent attack on Catholic Churches and religious symbols over the weekend, under the subheading of “Christian Persecution” that asked, asking “Where Is the Media?’: Catholic Churches Targeted in Weekend of Attacks.”
The evangelical Christians spotlighted this new CBN video that explains their understanding of the historic meaning of the separation of church and state.
MHProNews highlighted the public threat against Christians made by Shaun King, who has ties with Black Lives Matter and other leftist groups.
In another report from that same Faithwire source this week is this headline, “Cuban Immigrant Warns Americans Against Communism Taking Over US: ‘Don’t Lose This Place.”
With less than 4 months to election day, and public opinion polling narrowing between the claimed lead of presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and President Donald J. Trump, a key question for those who are following the race and its impact on business and investing is this. What will evangelical Christians do in 2020?
It isn’t just Christians that are under siege. The Jewish Post says that 2019 was the record number of anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. Attacks on mosques are also up, says the ACLU. For those who might jump to the arguably wrong conclusion that this hatred is in the U.S. only, the BBC reported that nation’s foreign secretary said in 2019 that “The foreign secretary attacks “political correctness” [P.C.] as report warns the religion could “disappear“.
Put differently, the rising tide of PC or ‘Marxist’ efforts in the U.S. and other nations. As the British Telegraph reported, “Make No Mistake, the Black Lives Matter is a radical neo-Marxist political” movement.
Each of these concerns has been spotlighted by MHProNews in recent weeks. Why? Among other reasons, because uncertainty and a lack of safety are significant impediments to successful smaller to mid-sized business.
With that backdrop, Christian attorney and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell’s take on related topic are our featured focus this evening.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
Evangelical Christian support for President Donald Trump will be greater in 2020’s presidential election than in 2016. That is the prediction by Jerry Falwell Jr. Falwell is the president of Liberty University, one of the largest Christian universities in the country. His comments were made Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with host Matt Boyle.
Given a recent poll by the Democracy Institute/Sunday Express, that may be spot on. Boyle invited Falwell’s remarks on the poll’s findings.
Falwell replied, “There’s no question about it. The Evangelical support [for President Trump] has strengthened. I have board members who travel. I have one board member who lost his legs in Vietnam. He travels from military base to military base, from church to church. He says everywhere he goes [he meets] people who were hesitant to vote for Trump in 2016, [but] Evangelicals are 100 percent behind him, now.”
Falwell said, “I have pastors on my board to tell me the same thing. They can see the support. They can feel it.”
Falwell stated, “Every Evangelical I’ve run into at every major event has [told me], ‘We were hesitant. We thought you were a little nuts for supporting [Trump] in 2016, but we are 100 percent behind him, now.’ It doesn’t surprise me a bit. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was higher than 90 percent.”
Falwell highlighted the importance of Supreme Court nominations to Evangelical Christians. The Supreme Court is “one place the president can make a difference on social issues,” he said.
