Americans rally for border security, media spins false narratives

The “Take Our Border Back Convoy,” a multistate convoy of Americans dubbed “God’s Army,” arrived at the Cornerstone Children’s Ranch in Quemado, Texas, on February 2. The media were on hand in force to meet the convoy. Judging from the headlines the previous week, the press seemed to expect violence — maybe even the start of another civil war. What they found instead was free speech, truth, and revival.

Too bad that wasn’t what they reported.

Even if the American media failed to report the whole truth, the rally at Cornerstone Children’s Ranch was a success.

The Cornerstone Children’s Ranch sits approximately 300 yards north of the Rio Grande. For more than two and a half decades, this nonprofit Christian group has served and fed low-income and indigent families on both sides of the border. But the press didn’t report that. Cornerstone’s mission was almost thwarted by COVID-19. Since then, vandalism and theft by illegal border-crossers have made it increasingly difficult for the organization to meet the needs of the local poor. I bet you didn’t see that on the news, either.

I’m the chief security officer for His Glory Ministries. Our founder, Pastor Dave Scarlett, is a former Marine. We reach millions of people around the country through our biblically based programming on HisGlory.me. Our mission is simple: To bring a billion souls to Christ and spread the light of the truth to the world. That is why on our network you are just as likely to get a great Bible study and praise music as you are a brief from retired military generals, law enforcement, or intelligence officers.

Pastor Dave and I felt called to have a presence at this event to do regular video reports throughout the weekend. Because I have spent 19 years on the border working with ranchers and law enforcement and have made two films on the border that have been screened for Congress, I was also booked as a speaker.

That Friday night I rode out the ranch’s front gate, carrying the His Glory banner. Our emblem is the cross and the Lion of Judah. I met the convoy about half a mile down the road and led the trucks into the front gate.

The New York Times caught the scene on film, and CBS News investigative political producer Madeleine May was quick to get a short video up on X that quickly attracted more than 1.4 million views. May asked the question, “Anyone know this flag?”

The majority of the 782 comments and reposts ranged from “this is psychosis” and “it will be a bloodbath” to “looking like a regular ole Klan rally.” One of my personal favorites: “This is what rebellion against the Constitution looks like.”

That comment could not have been farther from the truth.

The media and its sycophants have forgotten that the United States of America exists because 248 years ago our forefathers knew that resistance to tyranny is obedience to God. Armed with that morality, a handful of farmers and merchants were able to defeat the greatest military superpower on the planet. That DNA lives on in every single member of God’s Army. We know that our rights do not come from the federal government. Our rights come from God.

Don’t take my word for it. Read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Now in 2024 America, those founding principles make us targets for those who seek the death of the great American experiment and wish to move us into a socialist totalitarian state.

Ronald Reagan told us that a nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation. He was correct.

I’m white. I’m a Christian. I want my nation to survive. That shouldn’t be a bad thing, but according to the media, it is. When you control the language, you control the narrative. If you understand fifth-generation warfare, then you understand why this is so dangerous to the unity and survival of our nation. As Mao, Stalin, Cloward, Piven, and Saul Alinsky all taught: In order to defeat your enemy, you must first dehumanize him.

Listen to their students: Barack Obama said that we cling to our guns and our Bibles because we are bitter and afraid of immigration. Hillary Clinton called us “deplorables.” Joe Biden calls us “insurrectionists.” At Quemado, Texas, they sent a very expensive bus because now “Christian nationalists” are supposedly the deadliest threat.

Funny, when I asked folks at the bus if they wanted to confront me, all they would say was “nice horse.”

By parroting this language and failing to investigate the border facts that this event brought to light, the American media is acting as an agent to destroy E pluribus unum and hasten the division of this nation.

When I spoke onstage that Saturday, I implored the American media: “Now that we have gotten your attention, please do your jobs and seek the truth. Did Vice President Joe Biden ever go to Central America circa 2015 on a ‘Give Us Your Kids Tour’? Was he ever on the cover of La Prensa promising ‘refugios por menores’ (refuge for kids)?”

“Under the Biden administration, do we now have over 365,000 unaccompanied alien children in the country? Under the Biden administration, have they lost another 86,000 children, and can they prove that these children weren’t sent back to their traffickers?”

After I asked those questions, no one from Fox News, CNN, CBS, PBS, Reuters, or anyone else asked for a follow-up. I waited more than a week to write this, hoping someone would follow up and publish the truth about the border. I haven’t been able to find a single article or post in the corporate press.

Robert Agee, the Texas convoy coordinator, started the event to bring light to the depths of evil that is being done to children because of the open border. He isn’t wrong. In the old days when we tracked bad guys on the border, their cargo was dope. Fentanyl has killed more Americans than the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars combined.

But now when we catch the cartel loads, their cargo is children. Last August, 20 miles down river, I ran into a group coming up the banks of the Rio Grande. It was a woman and six children. She was a Hispanic lady carrying an African baby. When she saw me, she burst into tears, not because they had all just made it safely through the currents but because when she locked eyes with me, she knew that I knew that wasn’t her baby. She knew I had just caught her trafficking a toddler and several children into the country. She knew that I knew what his future had in store, because of her.

In the old days when children were apprehended at the border, there was no way to determine parentage. Donald Trump changed that by requiring biometric DNA testing. If you weren’t proven to be the parent of the child you were requesting, you didn’t get that child. The Biden administration ended that policy.

Now you have just a small glimpse into why the Biden administration has turned out to be the best thing ever for the Mexican cartels’ bottom line. Now you can understand why the Biden administration was so hell-bent to have the press demonize God’s Army and suppress the truth about the border.

If America ever knew the facts about what happens because of the open border, it would bring down the Biden administration.

In the end, God’s Army wanted the world to know that they support Governor Greg Abbott when he asks Joe Biden to follow the law and protect us from invasion.

Even if the American media failed to report the whole truth, the rally at Cornerstone Children’s Ranch was a success. For the first time in the three years since the Capitol protest on January 6, Americans weren’t afraid to let their voices be heard en masse. They proved that freedom triumphs over fear. They reopened the front gate to free speech for the rest of the nation.

The following Sunday I was shocked to see that some of my comments had been picked up by a news organization … in Hong Kong.

To live to see the day when China would report truth that American press wouldn’t truly made last week feel like the media was finally and totally dead.
