Rice and Obama are plotting and planning and saying way too much out loud…

“Susan’s tone and language raise questions about whether the left is drifting further and further toward a cycle of political payback. More weaponization, lawfare, and political punishments… all the stuff we saw during the Biden regime.”

(Revolver) Sometimes politicians accidentally say their innermost thoughts out loud. It is rarely smart. But sometimes it is strategic. It sends a signal to their voters: elect us, and we will crush MAGA.

Honestly, that kind of message often lands harder than any polished campaign speech ever could. Continue reading

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs

(Breitbart) The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump’s sweeping global tariffs are illegal, delivering the most significant legal defeat of his second term and undercutting a central White House trade initiative.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for a 6–3 majority that Trump exceeded his authority by invoking emergency powers to impose duties on virtually every country. The tariffs at issue were expected to raise about $1.5 trillion over the next decade—representing roughly 70 percent of Trump’s second-term levies, according to the Tax Foundation. Continue reading

FBC Orlando Cancels TPUSA Faith ‘Make Heaven Crowded’ Revival

“Overall, the TPUSA Faith project is perhaps well-intended but is theologically compromised by egalitarianism, much like TPUSA, which hosts women’s leadership conferences, but not anything specifically for men….”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Within Florida megachurch culture, there are many libertine Southern Baptist Churches that would include Church of the Glades and David Uth’s FBC Orlando. The latter of which has come under fire in the past for supporting homosexuality and this church also received massive PPP funds during Covid. Continue reading

The Empire-Building Church Model Does NOT See Christ as King and High Priest

“No one stands up and declares, “Let us worship me.” It’s subtler than that. It’s structural, cultural, and habitual. The stage grows larger. The man’s name becomes synonymous with the ministry. Criticism is framed as rebellion. Loyalty is framed as spirituality. And slowly—imperceptibly—the pastor functions as high priest of his own kingdom.”

(The Dissenter) There’s a certain tone a man uses when he believes the room belongs to him.

Not the building. Not the microphone. The room.

You can hear it in the cadence—relaxed, almost amused, but tight underneath. Like someone who has never had to be contradicted without consequences…. Continue reading

Shepherds, Not Celebrities

“There are many books and courses on leadership style that tend to mimic business practices and specialized manipulation techniques. We do not see this in Scripture, yet many of our churches operate in ways similar to secular institutions.”

(Jon Harris – TruthScript) If we are to continue, and God willing expand, Christian influence, it is vital for us to understand leadership, both for the sake of the church and for our broader understanding of cultural stewardship. Fortunately, the New Testament has much to offer, especially when it comes to leadership in the church. Continue reading

Hockey Game Shooter Threatened Actor Kevin Sorbo That He Might Go ‘Berserk’

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Mentally unstable male predators, encouraged by woke culture to claim they have gender dysphoria as a license to invade women’s spaces — and worse — have been on a real rampage lately.

And we can’t say we weren’t warned.

The latest deadly example comes from Rhode Island, covered in full last night by PJ Media’s own Catherine Salgado, where Robert “Roberta” Dorgan killed himself after murdering two family members and wounding three others at a skating rink. Continue reading

Charismatic Conferences to mark and avoid: Unleashed and The Courage Tour

UPDATED 2/24 – I’ve added a few more conferences to mark and avoid. Scroll to the end.…

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Christians often gather to pray for a common cause. Even when that cause is political. There is nothing wrong with beseeching God to return America to biblical principles. Many Americans, especially people of faith, believe that there’s something diabolical going on, and that our country is in the grip of evil. Conservative Christians believe that spiritual forces of wickedness have invaded virtually every aspect of society which is why we’ve failed to win the culture war.

It’s safe to say that more than half the country is in rebellion against God. So people of faith are driven to their knees to plead with God to intervene to save our beloved nation from the ravages of cultural Marxism and the Left’s dream of a socialist utopia.

Christians plead 2 Chronicles 7:14, a verse professing Christians have been misusing for years. “If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Continue reading

Hillary and Obama’s latest move spells a massive DEM DISASTER unfolding

“When Hillary Clinton says mass migration has been destabilizing and went too far, and Barack Obama says we are a nation of laws with borders that must be orderly and fair, that is a direct slap in the face to the violent activist soldiers that have dominated the party’s messaging for years.”

(Revolver) For years now, the left has treated mass migration as this moral, beautiful thing. And if you questioned it, that meant you were some heartless, xenophobic, or stuck in some outdated nationalist fantasy loop. Borders were sold as cruel, enforcement (ICE) was framed as oppression, and “diversity is our strength” wasn’t just a slogan; it was a cult. Now suddenly, two of the most powerful Dems in modern politics are singing a very different tune. Continue reading

The Price of Rebellion

“…the Minnesota rebellion story is not over. Walz and Frey may be in for a reckoning.”

(Bill O’Reilly) President Trump is mandated by the Constitution to enforce the laws of the United States.  He twice swore an oath to do that.  There’s no wiggle room concerning the inaugural oath.

The state of Minnesota does not want federal enforcement of immigration law. Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are publicly defiant; they will not “cooperate” with federal authorities in detaining undocumented immigrants…. Continue reading

Prominent Megachurch Pastor On Leave After Sex Abuse Allegation

(Protestia) A megachurch pastor and senior leader in the Assemblies of God denomination has taken a leave of absence following allegations that he sexually abused a young girl when she was just 16 years old.

Pastor Rod Loy is the senior pastor of First Assembly of God, a 16,000-member multisite megachurch based in North Little Rock, Arkansas, which is the third largest AOG church in the country. He also holds a leadership role as an executive presbyter in the Assemblies of God denomination. Continue reading

Stunning! Church of England Formally Abandons Proposal to Bless LGBTQ Marriages

“While it is a set-back for progressives, the fact that this was even a question has demonstrated their commitment to their depravity and heresy, and already there are plans in place to redouble their efforts until the denomination is fully LGBTQ-affirming.”

(Protestia) In a stunning move widely seen as a victory for conservative Anglicans in the denomination, the Church of England has formally halted its proposals to advance same-sex blessings in the church. Continue reading

Corporate Fear of LGBTQ Bully Dries Up

“The number of Fortune 500 companies abandoning participation in HRC’s radical activist index is yet another sign that ESG and woke capitalism were never about profits.”

(Thomas Gallatin – The Patriot Post) The leading organization pushing the woke LGBTQ+ agenda is the dubiously named Human Rights Campaign. For years, HRC targeted and bullied corporations into capitulating to its woke policy agenda, which meant catering to all its radical leftist promotion of sexual deviancy, all under the banner of human rights. Continue reading

Disney’s Epic Woke Choke on ‘Snow White’ Gives Me Hope for America

“Bud Light had what looked like a stranglehold on the Number One Selling Beer in America spot until the company tried to force its customers into the trans conversation. The beer is about to regain the top spot, but it took over three years, and Anheuser-Busch had to spend a fortune to make it happen.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Let us head into the weekend with something a little off of the beaten path of political stories this week. We will get back to the Bad Bunny Epstein Minnesota outrages next week, but today we are going to examine how a fairy tale princess beat up on some woke idiots and took a lot of their lunch money. Continue reading

Trump Just Ended the EPA’s Climate Power Grab, and the Left Is Losing It

Naturally, the left is freaking out. The New York Times report on the repeal came with the loaded headline “Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change.” Can you hear me rolling my eyes?

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) President Donald Trump just delivered a knockout punch to Obama-era climate hysteria, and the bureaucrats are having a total meltdown.

On Thursday, the Trump administration finalized rules repealing the EPA’s endangerment finding — that dubious 2009 determination claiming six greenhouse gases threaten human health under the Clean Air Act. “We are officially terminating the so-called endangerment finding,” Trump announced, calling the policy exactly what it was: “disastrous.” Continue reading

Good advice for charismatics who’ve been traumatized. Hold on to what is good.

(Wake up and Smell the Heresy – Facebook page) Please let’s pray for those who are/were followers of Bethel, Bolz and Todd White and for the first time are truly seeing how deceived they were. Mike Winger is doing a great service – but there are so many who are traumatized by truth. It is a good thing. It is a hard thing. Everything they have believed has been called into question because they put their trust in false leaders and a false movement.

Some will do as John Andrew Collins did after leaving The Message cult. He had to examine everything. Every belief was questioned and categorized: 1) Biblical, 2) extra-biblical, and 3) un-biblical. Scripture tells us to test all things. Hold on to what is good. Only category 1 fits that criteria. Continue reading

The Eastern Orthodox Icon Ruse

(John Carpenter) Most serious American Christians are accustomed to engaging groups like the Mormons, with their sexually immoral con-man who wrote bad fiction full of provable absurdities, or Jehovah’s Witnesses, repackaging ancient Arianism, or even Roman Catholicism, which claims to be the Church the Lord Jesus established while encouraging prayer to the dead and bowing before statues that Scripture forbids and the early church opposed. But Eastern Orthodoxy catches them by surprise. Its weapons are unfamiliar, its jargon sounds ancient, and its strategy is sneaky. As a result, many sincere believers are caught flat-footed. Our blindside to the Eastern Orthodox ruse is made worse by polemically adverse evangelicals who want us to believe that the wolves stalking our sheep mean well. Continue reading

‘Gun PERSON’ Rampages Thru Canadian School – 10 Dead, 25+ Wounded

A  shooter initially described by authorities as a ‘female in a dress.’

UPDATE She/Her’s a Guy

“During the initial press conference on the ghastly tragedy, RCMP Staff Sgt. Kris Clark used the most obfuscatory language imaginable to describe the murderer….The dead assailant was, the Sgt said, a ‘gun-person.’ It sounds even more ludicrous when a reporter is corrected and has to ask the Sgt a question using the term.”

(Beege Welborn – Hot Air) Tumbler Ridge is a smallish British Columbia town, buried about 700 miles northeast of Vancouver, up in the part of the province near the border with neighboring Alberta. It only has around 2400 residents in an area best known for hiking, glorious waterfalls, and dinosaur-related discoveries. Continue reading

There’s one very BIG reason why the Super Bowl shows are deviant and anti-white…

“Jay Z took over producing the Super Bowl halftime show in 2019. Since then, white performers have been banned from the show. There hasn’t been a single white headliner at the Super Bowl in 7 years, with the lone exception of Eminem who performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop, Kendrick Lamar and other black artists.” 

(Revolver) For years, the Super Bowl halftime show has been treated like a national stage. Not just a concert, but a cultural signal. Whoever headlines that show isn’t just performing. They’re being elevated as a representation of where American entertainment has been, and in some ways, where it’s going. Continue reading

Trump’s Alleged 2006 Call to Palm Beach Police Chief ‘Cracks’ Establishment’s Epstein Narrative on POTUS

(Breitbart) White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s alleged phone call to the Palm Beach police chief in 2006, wherein Trump allegedly told him, “Thank goodness you’ re stopping [Epstein],” dismantles establishment narratives.

Leavitt’s comments came at a White House press briefing after the Department of Justice released a document from a 2019 interview between former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter and the FBI. Continue reading

Lack of Patriotism at the Olympics

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, Italy, officially got underway on Friday, February 6. Unfortunately, this time-honored tradition of the world’s best athletes competing against one another has already been marred by a few American athletes.

To be fair, most of the athletes were prompted into speaking by hounding “reporters.” Nevertheless, a handful of them decided to use their platform to display a troubling lack of patriotism. Continue reading

We Have Had Enough of False Prophets!

By Marsha West

In 2008 I penned the attached article analyzing the Lakeland Revival and its leader evangelist/healer/prophet Todd Bentley. The so-called revival lasted several months and included “supernatural manifestations” and experiences. At that time many of us were hopeful that NAR/Bethel’s goose was cooked when the abusive Bentley was brought down for far worse offenses than the recent wrong doings Shawn BolzTodd White and several other charismatic hustlers are accused of committing.

In 2008, when news broke of Todd Bentley’s adultery, Charismatic Church leadership removed him from ministry causing the event to be abruptly shut down. Thereafter, Bentley spent a short time undergoing “restoration and repentance” under NAR leaders Rick Joyner, Bill Johnson and Ché Ahn. Knowing Bentley was convicted of sexual assault at the age of 15, knowing that during the “revival” there were creditable accusations that he was responsible for financial mismanagement, knowing about his excessive drinking…exaggerated healings…unsubstantiated claims that people were raised from the dead…and finally, knowing the adultery with a woman on his staff led to him abandoning his wife and children, the men responsible for his restoration quickly returned him to ministry. In doing so, they showed they were completely bereft of good judgement. Hebrews 5:14 reminds us “…solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.” Continue reading
