BREAKING: Trump Nullifies All Biden Autopen Documents

“The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) President Donald Trump didn’t take much time off for Thanksgiving, and his latest move is sure to enrage Democrats.

Trump has declared that any document signed by Joe Biden‘s autopen rather than the dementia-befuddled former Meanderer-in-Chief himself is now considered illegitimate and lacking any force or effect…. Continue reading

When Children Become the Lab Rats

“Ideology—not science, not medicine, not compassion—is now the ruling authority over children’s bodies. The state has decided that children belong to it.”

(Kevin McCullough) The United Kingdom is set to begin injecting children—some as young as ten years old—with puberty-blocking drugs in what the Daily Mail calls the first NHS-backed clinical experiment of its kind. Two hundred twenty-six children, who “believe” they are transgender, will be used to test whether the drugs could be “safely” administered in the future…. Continue reading

What Is Thanksgiving Day?

“Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift” (2 Cor. 9:15).

Thanksgiving is an American holiday that stretches all the way back to a time long before America became a nation. The Pilgrims landed in 1620. They faced brutal conditions and were woefully unprepared. Roughly half of them died in that first year. Then they had a successful harvest of corn. In November of 1621 they decided to celebrate a feast of thanksgiving.

Edward Winslow was among those who ate that first thanksgiving meal in 1621. He noted:

“Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we gathered the fruit of our labors. …And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want.”

BREAKING: New Prosecutor Drops Fulton County RICO Case Against Trump and His Co-Defendants

“Skandalakis made Trump and his co-defendants for “record restriction,” which is basically an expungement of the arrest record.”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) The long, arduous road of lawfare against President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Fulton County, Ga., has come to an end. Prosecutor Peter Skandalakis, who took over the racketeering case that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis tried to pin on the president for supposedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, has dropped all of the charges. Continue reading

Here’s What Kash Patel’s FBI Uncovered About the Trump Assassination Attempt

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) FBI Director Kash Patel revealed new details about Thomas Matthew Crooks’s mindset during his failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., last year. In an interview with investigative journalist Catherine Herridge on “Straight to the Point” from the Los Angeles Times Media Group, Patel described how Crooks acted from a deep hostility toward the U.S. government and the two-party system.

Herridge asked Patel why Crooks, at just 20 years old, was fixated on taking out Donald Trump as he moved toward the GOP nomination last year. At the time, the FBI claimed ideology played no role. But that was not the case. Continue reading

Trump Ordered Report: Experts Say No Evidence Supports Gender Treatments for Kids

“We are very politically and ideologically a diverse group. Most of the authors are liberals, Democrats. They wouldn’t vote for Trump if he forced them to. This is a bipartisan initiative.”

(Dmitri Bolt -Townhall) A Trump-ordered report found that there is no scientific basis or any medical evidence to support providing “gender-affirming care” to children. The report was finalized and posted on Wednesday after passing scientific peer review. Continue reading

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin Admits That Trump Has Not Issued Illegal Orders to U.S. Military

(Breitbart) Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) admitted on Sunday that to her knowledge she was “not aware” that President Donald Trump has issued an illegal order to U.S. Military service members.

During an interview on ABC’s This Week, host Martha Raddatz referenced the White House’s response to a video in which Democrats, such as Slotkin, encourage U.S. military troops to disobey orders. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt previously accused Democrats of suggesting that Trump “has given illegal orders, which he has not.” Continue reading

Do You Feel Discouraged by False Teaching?

“Our work can feel lonely, like we’re among the few (or perhaps the only) seeing concerns within the evangelical world. It’s hard to watch people who went to Bible college with us, people who we grew up with in church, or even close friends, reject historic Christianity or choose a lesser gospel. It grieves us. Like Elijah, we may complain to God that we’re the only ones left.”

(Lara d’Entremont – Core Christianity) The first summer in this house, my mom and I dug our hands into the small garden between the front and back steps. Weeds grew and jammed their way throughout the garden, choking out or hiding all of the vibrant flowers the previous owner had planted. We pulled up weeds and rearranged flowers under the hot sun while every type of bug and fly swarmed around us. Afterwards, we wiped the sweat from our brows and scrubbed dirt from under our fingernails. Continue reading

The Scummy Six Insurrectionists

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) Where are the arrests? Where are the show trials? Where’s the congressional dog and pony show? I mean, isn’t this coordinated effort to weaken our commander-in-chief and eat away at the cohesion within our military and our intelligence services an act of insurrection or — dare we say it? — treason?

Two can play at this Democrat game, right?

At issue is a brief and melodramatic video posted on Tuesday by Michigan Senator and 2028 presidential hopeful Elissa Slotkin…. Continue reading

86 Democrats Vote with GOP to Condemn Socialism in the USA

“The resolution…asserts that socialism has led to famine and mass murder under the Cuban Castro regime, the Chinese rule of Mao Zedong, the ongoing Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and others.”

(Mary Dowling) The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution condemning socialism Friday morning, with eighty-six Democrats crossing the aisle to rebuke “socialist policies” in the U.S. following Zohran Mamdani’s recent election as the mayor-elect of New York City. Continue reading

The Neo-Evangelical Mirage

“Some may argue that evangelical doctrine is stable, given that it is rooted in the Solas of the Reformation. This is true, but the emphasis of the past fifty years has been on outward aesthetics and novel ways to do church. More traditional forms of Protestantism, including fundamentalism, that have kept their liturgies and doctrine, are well positioned to benefit from renewed interest in older forms of religion.”

(Jon Harris) Recently it has occurred to me that neo-evangelicals are still by and large repeating the contextualization mistakes that ensnared Bill Hybels and Rick Warren in previous generations. They remain drawn to the pursuit of certain demographics they believe will grant them a cultural advantage, and in the short term it appears as if this strategy is correct. Yet the end result is always the same. The church becomes marginalized as the superficial glow that once made it appear bright dims with changing social conditions. Continue reading

Don’t panic, but this top pollster has a 5-alarm warning for MAGA…

“This idea that Dems are “too crazy” to win should have died the day New York City elected a full-blown Marxist. The political environment we’re in is not normal. It’s not predictable. And it’s not forgiving.”

Richard Baris isn’t some random talking head. He’s one of the most consistent pollsters in the country and one of the few who actually understands how voters think, not how consultants wish they thought. So when Baris looked into what happened in the recent Virginia and New Jersey elections, he found something Republicans everywhere should pay attention to. Continue reading

Inaction by the Police Chief Led to Charlie Kirk’s Death

(Mary Dowling) Charlie Kirk’s security guards tried to save his life, giving him first aid. However, the head of his security, a former police officer, Brian Harpole, said the “wounds were incompatible with life”. Sadly, Police Chief Long told Mr. Harpole on the Monday before Charlie was killed that he would safeguard the roof. Charlie’s head of security had asked due to his expressed concerns about the danger. Long never did what he promised to do.

“We have some correspondence with the chief of the school uh on that day, on Monday, before Charlie was killed and why this hadn’t come out and why he won’t stand up like a man and admit this, I don’t know, but he’s watching a bunch of men lose their careers and he’s okay with it,” Harpole told Ryan….

The Harvest of the New Sexual Revolution

“These shooters are not outliers, but monuments of the new sexual revolution. They are evidence in the case against a culture that celebrates what God condemns. Transgender ideology does not free the captive, it inflames the fallen nature, converting inward confusion into outward violence. And as the state shields this madness—banning the very therapies that point to repentance and sanity—it guarantees the cycle will accelerate, claiming more victims in classrooms, nightclubs, and public squares. The pendulum hasn’t slowed. It is gathering speed for the next collision.”

(The Dissenter) In Part I, we laid bare the ancient roots of this godless upheaval, tracing its path from the ashes of Sodom to the contraceptive-fueled fornication that birthed a culture of death and deviance. In Part II, we exposed the acceleration into transgender madness, where the very image of God—male and female—is mutilated in the name of self-worship, spilling into everything from glowing screens to once-sacred pulpits.

Evangelicals must obey Jesus’s command to ‘proclaim the gospel’ and stop fretting about who gets offended

Featured

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network)

But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect… (1 Peter 3:15).

If you know anything about Christianity, then you know that the early Church was given a mandate by the Lord Jesus Christ to evangelize the lost.  “Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’” (Luke 24:45-47).

Christians are to evangelize the unsaved.  Unsaved is a euphemism to describe people who are not going to the kingdom of light (Heaven) when they die; they’re going to the realm of darkness (hell) “where the worm never turns.” Those who reject the gospel message are not born again. Moreover, they’re not “saved.”

In Passivity Wes Bredenhof states that “Regeneration (being born again) is a one-time event where the Holy Spirit miraculously takes a heart of stone and turns it into a heart of flesh.” Here’s how Scripture sums up being born again: The old man dies and the new man springs to life! (John 3:3, 1 Peter 1:23). Continue reading

Judge Orders Mom Not to Take Her Daughter to Church or Read Her the Bible

“The order gave the father “absolute unreviewable authority to deny any kind of association or even reading the Bible or religious philosophy, attending any church or any event or associating with anyone…or any church or religious organization.”

(Talia Wise – CBN*) The Maine Supreme Judicial Court is set to weigh in on whether a lower court overstepped its limits when it barred a mother from reading the Bible to her 12-year-old daughter or taking her to church. Continue reading

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’

“When oil and natural gas are affordable, thanks to the fossil fuel production of Western nations, then illiberal and bellicose oil-exporting countries like Iran and Russia have less money to spend on aggressive wars or subsidizing their global terrorists.”

(Victor Davis Hanson) For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned.

Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Continue reading

Can We Get Back to Nuking the Department of Education?

“School choice is the silver bullet that can slay the indoctrination monster. That’s why the wholly evil teachers’ unions are so bitterly opposed to it. They need a captive audience to keep the grift going. Captive audiences, actually — the students and the taxpayers.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) It is once again time to revisit a topic that I’ve been hammering away at for a couple of decades now: the taxpayer-funded indoctrination mills run by the United States Department of Education. Continue reading

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Mamdani Wolf? Not me!

“No one should be shocked by this election.  While Americans were apparently distracted or not paying attention or stupidly thinking they were being virtuous and tolerant by embracing a genuinely suicidal form of diversity, Muslims were steadfastly pursuing their decades-long blueprint of converting all Western countries — as they have in Europe — to an Islamic caliphate.”

(Joan Swirsky – American Thinker) I stopped counting the massive numbers of articles — both before and after the election of November 4, 2025 — that predicted the complete devolution/collapse/implosion of New York City, a huge exodus of both Jews and Christians, as well as businesses and the Wall Street financial district to friendlier climes in what was anticipated to be the full-fledged conversion of the Big Apple from capitalism to communism, from law and order to a runaway crime wave, and from historical diversity to full-bore antisemitism and the passionate embrace of Islamism and sharia law if Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor. Continue reading

Another Bombshell Revelation Shows ‘Source’ Had More Info Than FBI on ‘They/Them’ Trump Assassin

“That leaves us with one question Tucker nails perfectly: Why is the government, under both Biden and Trump’s own FBI leadership, so desperate to keep the truth about Thomas Crooks in the dark?” Revolver News

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Another day, another bombshell about the would-be assassin who shot Donald J. Trump four months before the November 2024 election. The question is: Why have we never been told?

On Friday, independent reporter Tucker Carlson released a detailed video showing the violent online rantings of 20-year-old Thomas Crooks…. Continue reading

Kash Patel Drops Covid Origin Bombshell

“The establishment spent years gaslighting Americans. They told the public to ignore common sense. They mocked anyone who dared say the virus came from a lab, even though the evidence pointed straight toward Wuhan. Now the truth trickles out in slow, frustrating drips, and millions of Americans shrug because the lie has calcified—just like how millions of leftists still believe that Trump colluded with Russia.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell during a recent interview with Glenn Beck, and anyone who has watched the federal bureaucracy sabotage President Trump at every turn will recognize the pattern instantly. Patel walked through how the Trump administration evaluated intelligence about the virus in the early days and how that assessment collided with a coordinated effort inside the bureaucracy and the media to protect China, shield Anthony Fauci, and deny Trump credit for getting it right. Continue reading

Democrat Texted With Jeffrey Epstein During 2019 Congressional Hearing

“The Washington Post uncovered Plaskett’s identity by matching timestamps on the texts with video footage from the hearing, even though the name was redacted in the documents.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Democrats are now in a damage control mode, as it has been revealed that Del. Stacey Plaskett was exchanging real-time text messages with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a crucial Feb. 2019 congressional hearing. Continue reading
