LEBANON– This weekend Solid Rock Church hosted a Patriot America Conference addressing how to take back the country. Organizers discussed how the Constitution was made ‘for such a time is this.’ U.S. Senate hopeful and former State Treasurer Josh Mandel was one of the featured speakers.
Mandel is one of the latest conservatives banned by liberal mainstream media operatives who do not want see his pro -Trump campaign to get off the ground. According to a recent poll, Mandel is leading the pack to replace Rob Portman for the 2022 U.S. Senate seat.
Last week the Cleveland Plain Dealer announced it is refusing to give coverage to Mandel for his conservative values. Mandel was also banned last week from Twitter after posting a report on MS-13 gang members and Yemeni terrorists crossing the southern border.
As a conservative firebrand, Mandel has not been bashful in standing up to government-elites, even if it means opposing officials in his own Republican Party.
As a freshman State Representative, Mandel publicly opposed Ohio Speaker of House Jon Husted in 2007 after Husted made a new rule prohibiting chaplains from praying in Name of Jesus. Most recently Mandel has been critical of Governor Mike DeWine’s mask mandate and economic shutdown.
“I am indebted to people of faith for rescuing my Grandmother. I have tried to repay this debt by serving in the U.S. Marine Corp and by being a champion for Judeo-Christian values as an elected official. And that means leading and making decisions with two documents in my hand, the Bible in one hand, and the Constitution in the other.”

During the Patriot America Conference, Mandel shared about a small family-owned business in Marietta, Ohio which became a casualty of the DeWine lockdown. “Shaeffer’s Leather Goods had been open for one hundred-thirty years, making it thru two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the Spanish Flu, but it could not make it thru the Governor DeWine shutdown. DeWine let Wal Mart, which was just down the street, to stay open, and he allowed people to go to Wal Mart to buy work boots and cowboy boots from Wal Mart, which are made in China….We have a fight for liberty on our hands.”
“He (DeWine) trampled on our liberty. I am running for the United States Senate not for Governor, but I will tell you, as your next U.S. Senator, I will take on Governors, mayors, I will take on anyone.”
The former State Treasurer also commented that one of the primary differences between Conservatives and Liberals are Conservatives believe the United States is one nation under GOD and Liberals believe the U.S. is one nation under government. He also said Liberals ignore the Ten Commandments.
“The entire Democrat platform is about coveting. Coveting what others have and taking away what others have earned. They want to redistribute your money even though you have worked hard to earn it.”
Mandel also shared about how his Grandmother was a Holocaust survivor after being rescued by a network of courageous Christians.
“I am indebted to people of faith for rescuing my Grandmother. I have tried to repay this debt by serving in the U.S. Marine Corp and by being a champion for Judeo-Christian values as an elected official. And that means leading and making decisions with two documents in my hand, the Bible in one hand, and the Constitution in the other.”
