A New Nick Shirley Video Shows Grift That Is ‘Ten Times Worse’ and Will Cause ‘World War III’

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon – maybe even as early as Monday — is “ten times worse” than the “Quality Learing Center” daycare scam.

In Shirley’s previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years.

Watch the videos on the site.

And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise. Continue reading

The Rebellion

(Bill O’Reilly) Less that 24 hours after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot dead by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, two U.S. Border Patrol officers approached a van parked in Portland, Oregon.  The agents ordered the two occupants out of the vehicle. They refused. The foreign nationals then allegedly tried to run down the officers, who shot and wounded the pair.  They are now in federal custody and expected to survive.

Reaction was swift and predictable.  The Border Patrol guys were condemned by Oregon officials almost across the board…. Continue reading

Bob The Baptist’s Bunk History: Anti-Christian Nationalist Retelling Of Young Restless Reformed

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The anti-Christian Nationalists were soyjacking over a video with a thesis that the Young Restless and Reformed movement devolved into the Manosphere. It was a bold take, but is it correct? Short answer: This is incredibly bad history.

Bob The Baptist is an up-and-coming anti-Christian Nationalist YouTuber who places a pretentious amount of production value in his commentary, invoking levity that balances whining and near-tears. Being one of the Joel Webbon hate channels has amassed 3000 subs with his latest video putting him over 3k. Continue reading

When Politics Ruin the Music: My Disillusionment With One of My Favorite Artists

“I don’t expect celebrities to agree with me on everything, but I also don’t care for politics to invade my music (even when I agree with the sentiment).”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Sometimes, encounters with celebrities we admire can disappoint us. My friend and colleague Sarah Anderson told me a story about meeting Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones at an autograph-signing event years ago. Continue reading

The ICE Cop Video Is Out and Polite Society Now Demands Apologies From the Following Riot Fans

Tim Walz says it was a “BRAZEN ACT” for the ICE agent to defend himself from a radical Liberal trying to kill him. He’s INCITING MORE VIOLENCE! “This is a brazen use of force. They want us to bend the knee. They want us to capitulate.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) The line to the confessional starts over there. In the front you can see Jacob Frey, kneeling; there’s Tim Walz, the governor, who’s gesticulating apace; another governor, this one from Oregon, who had an Antifa terrorist in her employ, is watching Walz to see what she should do; and that Philly sheriff who embarrassed law enforcement everywhere with her pronouncements on who the “real, not made up” cops are has bogarted the mic. Over there are the commies, Mamdani and that Seattle scarecrow, who are waiting their turn for Open Mic Night at the American Apology Tour. Continue reading

The GOP Has One Chance to Win the PR War Over the ICE Shooting. Here’s the Playbook.

“It looks like the ICE officers had all the time in the world to move out of the way. But when you watch it again in real-time, you realize that the ICE officer had to make a life-or-death decision in the blink of an eye. A 4,000-pound Honda Pilot in the hands of a criminal, with its wheels spinning on icy roads, posed a clear and present danger to the officers.”

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) Let’s begin with the bad news: The probability of further violence is still sky-high, and more people will almost certainly die. Protesters are radicalizing by the minute.

But the good news is, this is a winnable PR war for the GOP. Continue reading

The SBC SATF Revelations only reveal a Rotten Leadership Class

“Conservative Southern Baptist leaders never apologized for their destructive promotion of Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, or any number of poorly constructed and divisive resolutions filled with half-truths that were foisted on messengers at the annual meetings.” 

(Marshall Albritton – American Reformer) In light of the recent disclosure of discovery materials and an expert report in the defamation lawsuit against the Southern Baptist Convention, Guidepost Solutions and others, people are going to witness again a negative behavioral trait that is common to many religious leaders. Continue reading

Wolves Wear Smiles

“It got me thinking about when evil is hidden by outward beauty, or kindness in good deeds, or even just lots of smiles (i.e. Joel Osteen), how few people discern. I hear so often that so-and-so cannot possibly be a false teacher because she is so kind…nice…joyful.”

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) On old TV show The Twilight Zone one of the most famous episodes was The Masks (1964). In New Orleans during Mardi Gras, a dying millionaire father calls his brutish, oafish, vain, greedy family to his side one last time before he dies. They arrive by train from Boston, giddy at the notion of inheriting millions but not caring their dad was dying. Dressed to the nines and looking lovely, the family gathers to the father’s side. Continue reading

Here’s What Dems Don’t Want You to Know About the Woman Who Attacked ICE Agents

“Of course, anyone who has watched the videos of the incident could see that Good attempted to run over the ICE agent. As for whether Good was even a part of the effort to impede ICE, the witness did not hesitate.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Wednesday, an anti-ICE protester thought it would be a good idea to attempt to run over ICE agents in Minneapolis. She learned the hard way that attacking a federal law enforcement officer is not a good idea, and officers wound up shooting and killing her. Continue reading

Jen Wilkin Sets Herself Up as a Preaching Coach for Men

(The Dissenter) Jen Wilkin, a female preacher at Matt Chandler’s church—a Southern Baptist church—who has also publicly described menstruation as a “parable of the cross” is now being presented as a preaching coach for pastors. Not for women’s Bible study leaders. Not for curriculum writers. For pastors. For men charged by God to stand before the church and preach Christ with authority.

There’s an event promo posted on the site, then…

That alone should stop people in their tracks. Continue reading

Nick Shirley Drops Another Video, and It Will Blow Your Mind

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Independent journalist Nick Shirley’s back at it, and his second Minnesota fraud video packs the same explosive punch as the first.

That original 42-minute bombshell ripped the lid off Somali-run daycares that are raking in millions from taxpayers while sitting empty, while the Walz administration did nothing to stop it.

The legacy media have been aggressively trying to discredit Shirley and his reporting, but he’s not backing down…. Continue reading

Warning: Tara Leigh Cobble, The Bible Recap, & D-Group

(Michelle Lesley) First, Michelle explains her criteria for doing research on authors, pastors, and Bible teachers that she receives a lot of questions about asking if she recommends them. Not long ago a number of readers asked about Tara-Leigh Cobble, host of The Bible Recap, a daily podcast, The God Shot, a daily radio show, as well as D Group. Here’s Michelle’s recommendation (scroll down until you see the article).

Tara-Leigh Cobble, or “TLC” as she likes to be called, “began her ministry as a singer-songwriter, performing her own songs and leading worship around the globe. After her first book was published, she added speaking to her repertoire. As a musician, writer and speaker, she spent more than a decade touring internationally before creating D-Groups and finding a home and community for herself in Dallas, Texas.” Continue reading

The PR Fallout of Tim Walz’s Political Demise: The Somalia Scandal Is About to EXPLODE

“The mainstream media won’t be able to cover for the Dems. More than anything else, that’ll be the ultimate PR fallout of Tim Walz’s political demise: The Somali fraud scandal is going to explode BIG TIME.”

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) The article starts off with a short, quick pirate joke that you can read on the site.

It’s the perfect segue to a PR analysis of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), who went from a 2028 presidential frontrunner to political roadkill over the last 10 months. As recently as early March, mainstream media outlets like The New Yorker published such fawning fluff-pieces as “Tim Walz Might Run for President in 2028 If You Ask Him Nicely.” Continue reading

Adios, Maduro

“Ironically, at the same time the US Special Forces were physically removing Nicolas Maduro and his awful wife from their supposedly secure Caracas compound, the 34-year-old daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones collapsed in San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel.  Dead. Fentanyl-laced narcotics.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Over the years, I’ve discussed America’s drug problem with President Trump.  In his first term, I had dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago and asked whether he was considering military action against the Mexican drug cartels, which have damaged the USA big time.  Mr. Trump hesitated, saying the blowback would be considerable. Continue reading

Now We Know Why Democrats Are Defending Somali Fraud

“Make no mistake, Democrats’ resistance to federal investigations into the Somali fraud points to a corrupt, mutually beneficial arrangement. Somali-run childcare centers and meal programs siphon off taxpayer money, then recycle some of it back into Democratic campaigns. Appeasing a reliable voting bloc plays a role, but the real payoff is money and power for the Democratic Party. Democrats have spent years building an elaborate ecosystem that turns public programs into campaign-funding pipelines, all at taxpayer expense.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Have you ever wondered why Democrats are so aggressively defending rampant fraud in Minnesota? Why Gov. Tim Walz so desperately wants to handle the investigation on his own? There’s a simple explanation: it has nothing to do with protecting vulnerable communities or fighting discrimination. Democrats are shielding these schemes because they profit directly from them. Continue reading

SBC’s Thom Rainer lists the 20 most influential evangelicals (Repost)

Eleven years ago, Ken Silva warned about the cult of celebrity in a piece he penned for Apprising Ministries. He revealed that the idol of evangelicalism erected by influential evangelical leaders is really not the Christianity of the New Testament. According to Ken, discerning Christians would recognize what was happening in the visible Church and as a result of his reporting were in the “proper vantage point upon the battlefield in order to better discern just how sad a list of the cult of celebrity evangelicals you’re about to witness.” The list Ken revealed includes Emergent/Emerging Church leaders and some important leaders in what he referred to as “the openly charismatic New Calvinism.”

Now to the article I came across while doing research on the once powerful New Calvinism, i.e. the Young Restless and Reformed movement that was influential in 2006. In less than two decades the YRR movement “has nearly wholly been torn apart”:

By Ken Silva

Now when the Pharisees gathered to [Jesus], with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders, and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches). 

And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” And he said to them,” Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. ’You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!” (Mark 7:1-9)

Worshiping The Way They Want To By Making God Be Who They Want Him To Be

As I monitor the rapid apostatizing of mainstream evangelicalism, and document it here at Apprising Ministries, I’ve told you that a major root cause for all of this has been evangelicalism never fully repented of its inherent humanism. That’s an important reason why it so quickly embraced the Church Growth Movement (CGM). Continue reading

‘Ten-year stain:’ Bondi asks prosecutors to probe Obama-Biden lawfare as criminal conspiracy

(John Solomon – Just the News) Attorney General Pam Bondi told Just the News that she has asked prosecutors to investigate the Obama-Biden era of lawfare as an ongoing election-meddling conspiracy that protected Democrats from criminal investigation and infringed the civil rights of Republicans like President Donald Trump and his supporters.

Recovering from eye surgery, Bondi made the revelation in written answers Sunday to questions submitted by Just the News, signaling she agrees with FBI Director Kash Patel, who earlier this year penned a memo predicating an investigation looking at the weaponization of intelligence of law-enforcement powers dating to the Russia collusion case as an ongoing conspiracy. Continue reading

Bank It

“The press extinguished due process a long time ago, headlining anything lurid with little perspective or restraint. The evil lawyers understand that no fact-finding will take place as they hawk their blackmail techniques on television. You people know who you are.  Have fun spending the blood money.  But remember, the reaper will have something very special in store for you.”

(Bill O’Reilly) As I get older, my predictions get better. Why? Because, as Gloria Estefan sings, there is a rhythm of the night. A pattern of behavior.  A balance in the universe. So, let’s take a look at 2026.

Up top, no human being can accurately assess what President Trump will do…. Continue reading

Recovering Civilizational Protestantism

“Civilizational Protestantism rested on a confidence that Christian faith was no mere private consolation or a sectarian preference, but a moral inheritance capable of ordering the common life. Its builders believed that Christianity could produce better leaders, more humane institutions, and a more just society. This confidence did not require perfection or coercion. It required the conviction that Christianity, rightly lived, was a blessing to the nation—and therefore something that ought to be publicly expressed, publicly defended, and publicly institutionalized.”

(Josh Abbotoy – American Reformer) On a recent visit to the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, it struck me that it would be impossible for any branch of American Christianity to reproduce such a thing today. American Christianity—the soul of our nation—is fractured and insecure about its place in public life. Continue reading

The Ruins of New Calvinism: How a Theological Movement Lost Its Center

“Through a series of personal scandals and the broader collapse of credibility surrounding social justice and Covid narratives, the second generation lost much of its authority. I do not want to overstate this. The Gospel Coalition still hosts a well attended biannual conference. But the momentum has shifted. The third generation of the Young, Restless, and Reformed effectively marks the end of the movement as a movement.”

(Jon Harris) Bob the Baptist put out a video recently that is making the private message rounds in my circles. Essentially, his thesis is that baked into the young, restless, and reformed movement, otherwise known as the New Calvinism, was a particular weakness that made it susceptible to the manosphere and the Pagan Right. It is a thoughtful and well documented take, and worth your time if you are interested in understanding how many people who bought into The Gospel Coalition or Acts 29 started prioritizing things like race essentialism, overturning women’s suffrage, and questioning the validity of the Holocaust narrative. Continue reading

Are you praying to the only true God?

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Christianity holds to the view that prayer is of the leading of the Holy Spirit. Octavius Winslow put it in these words:

It must be acknowledged by the spiritual mind that all true prayer is of the leading of the Spirit; that He is the author of all real approach of the soul to God. All true prayer is put into words by the Spirit. He is the Author of prayer in the soul.

The scriptures speak of God the Holy Spirit residing within all who believe in the Son of God. The Spirit guides, instructs and empowers believers. (John 14:16-17) As well, the “Spirit of truth” confirms everything about Jesus. (John 15:26) The unregenerate (unsaved) person is not Spirit filled. God does not hear anyone’s prayer unless it is put into words by the Holy Spirit. So if we want our prayers to be heard and answered we must pray to the right God.

“This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3).

Before I move on it is necessary to briefly explain what other world religions believe about God. Continue reading

The Silent Epidemic of Christian Parents Who Are Losing Their Children

(Virgil Walker – Sola Veritas) And every once in a while I see an expression on a parent’s face that makes me pause. It usually happens after a sermon, or while we’re walking to the parking lot, or in the back of a quiet corner of the church where they think no one notices their eyes. It’s a cocktail of confusion, and sadness, and something that feels like fear. Parents of adult kids who have that look on their face I’ve seen people have in front of a grave.

Except that their children are still alive.

Still texting them.

Continuing to turn up at birthdays and holidays.

But something has changed. Continue reading

The Reason for the Season!

(Roger Helle – The Patriot Post) It’s easy to get distracted this time of year — if not by the rush of holiday shopping and looking for the perfect gift, then by the horrible news that seems to get darker and darker every year. Recently, though, it seems to get darker and darker every week!

We have witnessed terrorist attacks here at home and around the globe. Crime seems out of control. Hate flourishes everywhere we look. Politics gets uglier and uglier.

How did we get here? I believe it’s because we have forgotten the real reason we celebrate Christmas — to remember the birth of a child who would grow up to be the savior of the world.

There is no gift that could ever be as valuable as receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Who was Jesus, and why should we care? This Proclamation says it all (source unknown): Continue reading
