Father, give our leaders wisdom that can only come from you.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) made a bizarre announcement at a campaign stop in Iowa last Sunday, telling the crowd that, when she selects her cabinet, she’ll only consider candidates for the Secretary of Education who have taught in public schools, and the final candidate will only take office after passing an interview with a “young trans person.”

To ensure that that public schools then become a “welcoming community” for transgender and LGBT youth, she’ll make the second qualification passing an interview with a “young trans person” — and not just any “young trans person,” the very young trans person that suggested Warren set a “welcoming community” as a goal.

That’s a pretty strange system for selecting a cabinet secretary. Although there are plenty of individuals who contribute to selecting members of the president’s chief advisory board, it’s fairly unusual for a civilian with no policy experience to have the final say over whether a candidate is qualified to serve as the head of a department of the federal government.

Weirder still, the “young trans person” who originally made the comment about a “welcoming community” isn’t a high school or college student. Hot Air tracked down the clip and discovered that Jacob Lemay, who asked Warren a question about trans rights at a CNN townhall back in October, is a nine-year-old elementary school student.

“Jacob Lemay — a 9-year-old transgender boy from Massachusetts, whose story went viral after his mother Mimi wrote an open letter in 2015 about his early-age transition — got to ask Warren a question during CNN’s presidential candidate town hall on LGBTQ rights Thursday night,” Boston.com reported in October.

“What will you do in your first week as president to make sure kids like me feel safer in schools?” Lemay asked. “And what do you think schools should do better so that I don’t have to worry about anything but my homework?”

Warren said, then, that she’d appoint someone who “believes in public education” and she’d let Jacob have a final say in the appointment.

I don’t think President Trump will be defeated in 2020 since I truly believe he was hand-picked by God to lead us for eight-years. That said, Brother Branham’s 1930’s prediction of a woman President who will govern like jezebel and crush America is close to fruition. I think this will be a 2024 event as God has President Trump installed now for one final call for the people to “turn from their wicked ways” and return to the Kingdom.

Jesus! Help usA. We have strayed each one to his own way. Our nation has become so radical we are out doing one another. Forgive our debauchery and save usA from ourselves in Jesus’ name.

LORD, we come together to pray for mature and wise leaders to be elected during the 2020 election cycle. We hear the threats of the enemy, but are reminded he is a defeated foe, a toothless lion. We pray for the Lion of Judah to roar and remove evil candidates that set up their platforms in opposition to Gods revealed will and purposes in his word. We bind the attack of the enemy which is coming against your church and are encouraged by the words of Jesus that He will build his church and the gates of hell will not be able to stand against it.
We are also reminded to pray for our all leaders, whether we agree with them or not, that we may have good government and live peaceful lives.
Lord we lift up Elizabeth Warren to you and pray for her to be enlightened, remove the blinders causing this deception and enable her to hear the good news of the gospel and receive your salvation.

I believe it is Elizabeth who needs an education for her grammar. For Elizabeth to use the word “gonna” on the campaign trail shows her lack of education. However, why is anyone listening to a woman who lied about having Native American ancestors to further her own selfish ambitions for education?

    Father, we can only trust you to change the course of evil. I pray for the election this year for candidates for every office to acknowledge you and support our Constitution. May your Church raise up to live in righteousness that righteousness may prevail that our land may be healed.

I taught many 9 year olds and I would not want them being called upon to interview for the position of secretary of education with the President of the US. This is an absurd statement from someone running for President!

This woman needs our prayers. Can anyone be so deluded as to think this would be good policy? Nothing more than a pandering stunt. And detrimental to any such child should she actually follow through what she is saying.
