The shooting death of Ashli Babbitt while breaking into the Chambers of the U.S. Capitol
I watched many videos of the fatal shooting of Ashli Elizebeth Babbitt. She appeared to be a leader and primary aggressor as she attempted to break into the chamber’s lobby. As she was climbing through the broken-out window in the door, breaching the threshold, the officer placed his shot. Coupled with her actions, the verbal threats of her fellow rioters, and a totality of circumstances, the shot was reasonable, necessary, and Biblical to prevent even greater mayhem.
Sadly, even after her death, her fans and followers are claiming that she was shot “for no reason.” Others lied, claiming she was “Antifa.” That type of irresponsible denial or support is what will lead to more deaths of so-called “patriots.” What Babbitt did was irresponsible, counter-productive, illegal, and irresponsibly dangerous, and should not be congratulated, celebrated, or memorialized.
Though I support their first amendment right to rally and peacefully protest. But the actions of those that rioted were sinful rebellion and lawlessness; comparable to the protests of Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
Similar to George Floyd, Babbitt’s death was a direct result of resisting and threatening the lawful demands of the authorities. And according to Romans 13, Babbitt resisted the authority of the ordinance of God. Hence the officer did not bear his sword in vain, and she brought judgment and God’s wrath upon herself.
I also watched videos Babbitt made before her death. She apparently was a foulmouthed QAnon conspiracy theorist and taking God’s name in vain was common. In this video, she was franticly (or hopelessly) consumed with both Trump and America, and this is more evidence of why these people need the hope of the glorious Gospel.
To professing Christians.
If you profess to be born-again and are consumed by these worldly affairs, I implore you to repent, and not repeat. Not only are many professing Christians seemingly not trusting in the sovereign decrees (or judgment) of our Lord, but even fellow Pastors are adding fuel to this fire (on social media). Many of them have a log in their eye, as they only point at the sins of those Democrats as their own party continues in their own unrepented sins.
Our Commander in Chief gave us His marching orders called the Great Commission. But His Great Commission is not to be consumed with the affairs of this world, and pastors should not be so entangled in politics.
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things (2 Timothy 2:1-7).
The Bible describes the things of this world as nothing but “vanity.” As a follower of Christ, I am to be not of this world, as my citizenship is in heaven.
Yes, I am praying for Babbitt’s husband and family, and I’m also praying for the officer that took that difficult shot.
Lastly, I would ask you to consider reading my below short read on the Glorious Gospel and repent and believe in the Christ of this Good News. That is the Biblical way to “Make America Great Again.”
And if the Lord does save you, the following is a summary of the Christian’s new way of life.
Love ‘biblically’ – repent – be salt and light – be holy – be sanctified – be against the world – fear God – pray without ceasing – keep His commandments – grow in His grace and knowledge – put on the whole armor of God (and use it) – walk circumspectly – believe in and trust Jesus – obey the Gospel – share the Gospel – preach the Gospel – contend for the faith, – disciple each other – live Godly in Christ Jesus – hate the things that God hates, and love the things that God loves – rejoice in sufferings – don’t flinch in the face of adversity – keep the faith, work-out your salvation, and endure to the end!
UPDATE 01/14/21: As some of these suspects are identified and arrested, I will be adding those links in the comments section below. So far no “Antifa,” but many off duty police officers.
UPDATE 01/20/21: According to this source and Babbitt’s own family, she was involved in an open marriage and/or threesomes with another woman and her husband.
UPDATE 01/06/22: According to this new article, some of Ashli’s alleged sexual immorality, and violent crimes against another person is exposed. Through my own investigative resources, I did confirm the judgement via court records.

Todays Tweet: Murdered U.S. Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick was the 5th person to die as a result of the siege of the Capitol during the Trump rally. The only reason Christians should be at these rallies is to proclaim the Gospel, not to unite with them and their worldly affairs.
TWEET: Sadly some professing Christians have lost credibility as they’ve written trying to spin things or justify the sinful and criminal actions of many Trump supporters at the US Capitol. They’re no different than the MSM that they complain about, but worse, it’s a terrible witness.
In 1 Samuel 22 a tragic massacre occurred where “at Saul’s command, eighty-five of the priests of Nob together with their wives, children, and other citizens of the town were killed by Doeg.” However, King David later recognized and shared his responsibility for that tragedy. David displayed true repentance from his adultery with Bathsheba, the murder of Uriah, and the massacre where women and children died. That is the fruit of a saved man. Oh, how we need leaders like that today, that are willing to say, “I was wrong, I have sinned.” (15:24-26,30; Psalm 51, and the title to 52). https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=344107927098232&id=111622143680146
I won’t join the hypocrites who only point at the democrats (whom I loath). While many wrongfully blamed “Antifa” for breaking into the US Capitol, the arrestees are proving to be Trump supporting Republicans, even these off VIRGINIA duty police officers. My allegiance is to Christ, not Trump, the GOP, america nor her flag.

I warned many professing Christians on social media to not lose their credibility by prematurely blaming the U.S. Capitol insurrection on “Antifa.” As these suspects are being identified, we’re learning more and more are NOT Antifa. This one’s a retired Lieutenant Colonel. The Lord’s people must be objective, and must never allow emotions to affect them. Don’t be so loyal to your party, that you can only see the wrongs of your opponents, lest the GOP never recover.

More U.S. Capitol terrorists are identified. Not “Antifa” but even more off duty police officers. One from Houston (their Chief sounds like a liberal), and the other Lt. Roxanne Mathai from Bexar County S.O. Her Facebook post is evidence of flat-out idolatry. But equal rights, equal responsibility. Let them all spend time in jail (or prison).
Both Presidents Obama and Trump had over-zealous supporters. They acted as if their president could do no wrong. They hypocritically only pointed fingers at the other party, dismissing the sins of their own. And they worshipped them to their demise. When Sheriff’s Lt. Roxanne Mathai unlawfully entered the Capitol, she draped herself in a Trump flag. She later posted on Facebook, “Not gonna lie…..aside from my kids, this was, indeed, the best day of my life. And it’s not over yet.” That is idol worship, and a felonious transgression against a holy, just, and jealous God. Repent and believe in this Gospel, lest you perish in hell, under the wrath of God.

One of the US Capitol terrorists was confirmed to be a BLM Antifa type. John Sullivan from Utah was stupid enough to go on CNN to brag about the video he captured. Hence he’s been charged.
This Victorville Calif. gym owner is near me. Though I support him keeping his business open, his social media proved willful, premeditated, criminal intent. As these suspects are being ID’d, Antifa might have been only 5% of this mess, the rest are Trump supporters or republicans.

STEVE BANNON CALLS OUR RUDY GIULIANI FOR HIS HYPE: Giuliani’s baseless allegations (false narratives) is a reason why so many courts (including a GOP Fed. judge) dismissed Giuliani’s motions while trying to prove there was enough “fraud” to overturn a presidential election. But when heard under oath, he faltered (again & again). First, it was Antifas fault, now it’s the “right wings” fault. And sadly, many lost their credibility by venerating Giuliani. Rumors, innuendos, ambiguity, narratives, ideas, or emotions have no evidentiary value in a court of law. This man is a slave to the kingdom of Christ, not their establishment. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/steve-bannon-scolds-rudy-giuliani-after-he-falsely-claimed-the-republican-lincoln-project-helped-capitol-rioters/ar-BB1dejEA

UPDATE 03/05/21: Another U.S. Capitol insurrectionist with a higher view of America (or Trump) than of God. In this rater R video, Yvonne St Cyr blames her actions on God, as she’s willing to die for her country, which is her god. She’s a blasphemer and an idolater.

The FBI declaration on Joshua & Jessica Bustle re them entering the U.S. Capitol
The below is a Probable Cause Declaration written by FBI Agent John Y. Nagashima. I am not writing this with animosity towards this Agent, he’s simply doing his job.
The reason I share this is it shows how the FBI (or any law enforcement agency) can use your own social media posts against you. I too experienced this when a bias anti-Christ FBI agent used some of my writings against me during Federal Grand Jury hearings, and then pretrial hearings before the trial. I’ll never forget how one of the 24 Grand Jurors winked at me as the Agent was mocking my Christian beliefs. I rode the elevator up with that gentleman, not knowing that he would be one of my jurors. Thank You, Lord!
I cannot know if this couple is truly God’s elect (saved). Nonetheless, be careful what battles you choose, as this is not being persecuted for righteousness’s sake. Fact is, Christians must have more boldness and zeal for the cause of Christ, than for a nation or our own political beliefs, lest our politics or country become idolatry.
Nevertheless, this professing Christian couple will most likely have children without free parents.
Lastly, because #TheologyMatters & #DoctrineMatters, the slogan on her hat is very man-centered. As I’ve said many times before, as a Christian, and to Christians. Be a #sheepdog, because we serve the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. However, she was being the lion here. Many of the other photos I viewed in various places, show her leading her husband. Was this an Eve in the Garden incident? Did her husband fail?
If the below FBI document gets removed from this server, let me know and I’ll send you the document.

Former OC police chief / Fontana Deputy Chief, 5 others charged in Jan. 6 Capitol riot:
I am saddened by this terrible news; I knew police chief Alan Hostetter. Though I support his fighting against tyranny, but to be heavily involved in the Jan 6th insurrection was surprising. And all for Trump who proudly said it was “a great honor” to be ‘the most pro-gay president.’ What these men need is Christ, not a left to the center, pro adultery, pro homosexual GOP.

Two more Cops, Kevin & Nathaniel Tuck were indicted for storming the Capitol, these two a Father & Son team. This Father is spot-on re the pro-homosexual Republican Party gone by the wayside. But he was wrong with the “insurrection” and being involved with the “Proud Boys.” Scriptures say God “hates” the proud, and so these men need the Gospel. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/former-officer-arrested-in-capitol-riot-asks-followers-to-rise-up-against-republicans/ar-AANJGMS
Another J6 insurrectionist bites the dust. These folks were not patriots nor heroes as some suppose. They are anarchists. And now as a substantially cooperative snitch, Brian Ulrich wears a turncoat. There are causes I will fight for, and yes, even kill or die for, but Trump is not one of them. Repent towards God and thrust yourselves upon Christ for salvation. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/oath-keeper-emotional-as-he-accepts-2nd-plea-deal-in-jan-6-seditious-conspiracy-case/ar-AAWKFJj
Another x cop was found guilty of crimes committed at the J6 insurgence. Thomas Webster using a flag pole as a weapon will only give further justification to those desirous of restricting our first amendment right to carry signage or flags at rallies. Repent towards God and thrust yourselves upon Christ for salvation.

A year after #J6 , many alleged Christians continue to sing praises about their “hero” & “patriot” Ashli Babbitt. Babbitt was a sexually immoral evil-doer who died in her sins. Likewise, she is the poster child of what #feminism looks like. Repent, and stop sinfully defending her!
I can empathize with Sgt. Thomas Robertson. Alcohol has contributed to my own bad decisions and sin. Frankly, I was shocked to see how many professing Christians close to me supported those crimes at the Capitol. Thanks to God for the soberness and repentance He has bestowed on me.

SON TURNS HIS FATHER INTO THE FBI, GETS BIGGEST SENTENCE THUS FAR: I don’t support Guy Reffitt’s actions. But IMO his son Jackson is a traitorous two-timing double agent. He needs to be kicked out of his parent’s home. Moreover, our government is erroneous for proactively encouraging people to turn on their families.

NYPD officer Thomas Webster receives the longest prison sentence yet for the J6 Capitol riot. The judge said, “Webster’s actions broke the police line and allowed the mob to storm the Capitol.”
I agree. Webster’s literal breaking of the thin blue line was tantamount to Ashli Babbitt breaking the threshold of the windowpane, as she began climbing into the chamber’s lobby. Both were imminent threats, and both earned impending justice, except Webster’s justice was delayed.

Many of these protesters came off as patriotic men willing to sacrifice. But when they got caught, they flipped, kicked, and screamed like boys.

From the beginning I was clear in NOT supporting these J6 rioters. But if this woman truly claims to be a “sovereign citizen,” then she deserves the worse sentencing. Research sovereign citizens, and watch videos of them assassinating police officers. Only God is sovereign.

That was one polished speech. Though I don’t support the criminal actions of those J6 protestors, this speech made me more empathetic toward some. I’ve always been for abolishing the FBI, ATF, IRS & all other 3 lettered Federal agencies. That is a reason I fly a 5×8 Confederate flag.

Just learned a police colleague I knew in my B4 Christ years was convicted of serious #J6 related crimes. Had the Lord not saved me, perhaps I’d been there too on J6. It’s amazing how the Lord and faith change us. Today the election I am most concerned about is God’s eklektós (ἐκλεκτος). It is they whom I will spend my eternity with. Only by the grace of God so go I. https://www.theexpositor.tv/the-good-news/
Yvonne St Cyr, to compare your #J6 sentencing to what the Lord Jesus went through is narcissistic, to say the least; but worse, it is blasphemy. I do not believe you are one of the Lord’s elect. In fact, your consistent sinful conduct, love for this world, and consistent posting of profanity are contrary to what the Scriptures say a Christian would be like. Especially for what the Scriptures require of a woman.
