Now, most Americans are watching and hearing half-mile rainbow murals announced in Washington, DC, in honor of “world pride.”
It is called “Rainbow Road,” and the city claims it is about joy, spirit, safety, and “vision.” But what stands out most among many taxpayers is the blatant lack of transparency, especially when their dollars are in line.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, “Neither Capital Pride Alliance, DDOT, or related sources… do not state the cost of the mural to taxpayers.”
Why is it not good?

It is very informative that no one is enthusiastically explaining how much public money is being used in this massive mural (10,000 square feet of rainbow messaging), especially when similar murals in other cities cost $100,000. That number doesn’t begin to describe labor, equipment, or future maintenance.
The now-deleted Black Lives Matter Mater mural in DC cost $271,231 to be repainted last year. Do residents expect to be silent and swallowed?
The mural was led by Lisa Marie Talmer. He told WUSA9: It may be a matter of pride for some, but for many DC residents it is a slap in the face. Especially those who believe that God’s design for identity, family and society is being sacrificed and laughed at.
This is not about art. That’s about the agenda. Covered with words like “inclusion” and “vision,” these murals and events are part of a well-funded, coordinated effort to normalize and enhance the ideology that many Americans, especially those of the faith, fundamentally reject. And they are forced to fund it.

“Safety is a very important part of this project,” added Thalhammer. “It brings visibility and also helps to protect riders in bike lanes.”
Be honest: if safety was a real concern, painting bright yellow or reflective white would have done the job at a fraction of the cost. This was not about bike lanes. It is to use the streets as a canvas of cultural rebellion.
As more Americans wake up and begin to return to God’s path, we can expect resistance. There are always people who are pushed back with public rebellious expressions rather than honest arguments. The Bible states that “the body’s mind is hostility towards God” (Romans 8:7).

The battle we see is spiritual, not just political or cultural.
Such events are more than a colorful mural, symbolizing the open up rebellion of God and the society of his designs. And when the nation uses the money of its people to fund that rebellion while refusing to do so, we must ask: are they really serving?
It’s time for accountability. It’s time to clarify. And above all, it has come when God’s people stand up not only in the feet of the church but also in the public square.
