  • Right-wing pastor Troy Brewer reports that he has been invited to the White House to meet with border czar Tom Homan to discuss anti-trafficking efforts.
  • David and Tim Barton are upset that people are claiming that President Donald Trump used the Army's 205th anniversary as an excuse to throw a big military parade for his own birthday: "That is certainly not who he is."
  • Speaking of Tim Barton, it is remarkable the extent to which the presentations he delivers consist largely of him delivering the same falsehoods first promoted by his father.
  • Defending Israel's attack on Iran, Mario Murillo tied it to the failed assassination attempt against Trump in July 2024, declaring "we don't know that Iran wasn't involved in that."
  • Finally, Michele Bachmann praises Israel for taking military action against Iran: "We should all kiss the ground and be so grateful that Benjamin Netanyahu is prime minister."

David Barton

Despite having obtained only a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oral Roberts University in the 1970s, David Barton now routinely bills himself as “America’s premier historian” and has established a reputation as the Religious Right’s go-to “expert” for making the case that the Founding Fathers intended to establish America to be a Christian nation that operates according to the laws of God as set out in the Bible.

Tim Barton

The son of Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton, Tim Barton has followed in his father’s footsteps, taking over as president of the WallBuilders organization, serving as co-host of the daily “WallBuilders Live” radio program, and traveling the nation delivering presentations filled with Christian nationalist disinformation.
