Christian PA Fired Over Transgender Referrals, Pronouns Wins $410K Settlement as Hospital Adopts New Policy

“This new policy ensures that providers of faith and employees at UMHW will receive religious accommodations so that they can provide excellent care consistent with their medical judgment, because all patients are created in the image of God.”

(Tyler O’Neil – Daily Signal) A Christian physician assistant fired after refusing to participate in transgender procedures and use preferred pronouns has reached a settlement with the University of Michigan Health-West, which agreed to adopt new religious freedom protections for employees and pay $410,000.

Godless America?

(Roger Helle – The Patriot Post) During his presidency, Barack Obama said, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.” Recently, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine said, “The statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.”

Both of these men are either historically ignorant or willfully deceptive. Due to my spiritual gift of “suspicion” (sarcasm alert), I lean toward the latter.

I’m neither a historian nor a political analyst, but I can read books. I suppose that’s why our overpaid and biblically ignorant teachers’ union leaders work so hard to bury our past and deny our history…. Continue reading

Rand Paul Delivers a Cinematic Indictment of Anthony Fauci’s COVID Legacy

“The American people were not asking for a semantics debate over what is gain-of-function. They were asking, does common sense say this research was dangerous in Wuhan? They wanted to know whether their money funded experiments in Wuhan that made bad coronaviruses better able to infect humans. The answer is, yes.”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) We’ve seen it countless times: the dramatic courtroom scene. It could be an attorney, or it might be the person testifying. But someone in a courtroom delivers a stirring speech that makes the difference in a case or makes a statement altogether. Continue reading

RFK Jr. Reveals the COVID Vaccine Secret That Fauci Hid From Americans

“Think about that for a second. The man who badgered every American into taking the shot, insisting it was perfectly safe, appears to have experienced one of the exact injuries his own agencies flagged, then quietly got elite private care while assuring the public that such reactions weren’t real. Ordinary Americans who reported similar problems got dismissed and mocked. Fauci got the best doctors in America.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) For years, Dr. Anthony Fauci assured Americans that the COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective. What he never mentioned, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is that he may have suffered one of those “rare” adverse events himself, and he hid it from the country while publicly insisting such injuries weren’t happening. Continue reading

A Journey into the Mystical Realm and Another Gospel

(Dawn Hill – Lovesick Scribe) There is an ever-growing fascination with the supernatural realm where people desire to not only hear the voice of God, but they desire to see angels and demons. There are many who crave experiences beyond this world and to testify of such things. I was recently informed about an e-course titled Journey into the Mystical Realm that is offered through an “apostle’s” ministry by the name of Ian Carroll. I took time to peruse the $79 e-course and what was offered. The ultimate goal of the course is to “activate and train your spiritual senses”, and topics were identified with titles such as Chief Chihuahua, Dimmer Switch and Blockages, and Seeing and Understanding What You See. There were video titles pertaining to levels of meditation, prayers/mantras, and Christocentric prayer. There was an introductory video available for viewing (Why Does the Spirit Realm Matter), pending your provision of an email address…. Continue reading

Fauci’s Diary Entries Expose How the Media Was in Bed With Him on COVID

Fauci went to the Tappers’ house for dinner, writing, “Had dinner over Jake Tapper and Jen Tapper’s home in DC. Terrific couple. Friendship building.”…”Phone call with Jake Tapper. Jake wanted to make sure the interview did not cause me any problems.”

(Amy Curtis – Townhall) Earlier, we told you a lot about the diary entries of Anthony Fauci. Sen. Rand Paul dropped them, exposing what a hypocritical, lying, and self-centered person Fauci was throughout the COVID pandemic. From lying about the origins of the virus to lying about not advising states to shut down, it’s a revealing and alarming exposé into the man responsible for so much unnecessary suffering during the pandemic. Continue reading

All That’s Left

“It is my belief that millions of Americans no longer want to compete in our capitalistic system.  They are happy to collect entitlements and bow before a controlling central government.  This crew has now been captured by social media and misleading propaganda put out by corrupt TV analysts as well as liberal newspapers, college professors, and the militant younger people themselves.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Recently, the ACLU honored Bruce Springsteen and Colin Kaepernick.  Why? Bruce is a Trump hater, and Colin dishonored the national anthem.  So, how do those things elevate the men in the eyes of the ACLU? Continue reading

WHEN REALITY BITES: No, Sen. Warren, You and Fellow Dems Cause the Affordability Crisis

“The reality is that Democrats like Warren have been the chief advocates for just short of a century on behalf of Big Government as the solution to every ill afflicting America. And throughout the 93 years since FDR first proposed the New Deal, it has been Democrats at the forefront of every major campaign to bring more and more of the freest, most prosperous, most opportunity-rich society ever seen on the face of the Earth under the thumb of Washington politicians and bureaucrats.”

(Mak Tapscott – PJ Media) Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and I share two things in common. First, we are both originally from Oklahoma — so we are aka “Okies,” a once-derisive term from the Great Depression Era that is now an affectionate commonplace. And two, we both claim Cherokee ancestry (mine is, according to family lore, five generations back). Continue reading

The DSA has released a new program that calls for abolishing the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court.

(Rich Lowry – The Patriot Post) Socialists vs. the Senate

Political parties tend to harshly reject the idea that they are a threat to the constitutional order, but the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is making it part of its brand.

The DSA has released a new program that, besides contemplating the advent of a classless society, calls for abolishing the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court.

This is literally a revolutionary program to topple the American system as we have known it since 1789. Continue reading

Jen Hatmaker Says She No Longer Believes In Literal Hell ‘it’s the best thing that ever happened to me’

(Protesia) A year after Queen Bee of pagan mommy bloggers and apostate influencers, Jen Hatmaker, announced that she’s left the church, she shared on her Substack that after “a couple years of investigation” she’s “quietly laid down” her belief in a literal hell, and it’s been “best thing that ever happened” to her.

This is no surprise, as Hatmaker is not a Christian and hasn’t been for a long time. We’ve covered her decline into apostasy in our posts [links on the site]…

Hatmaker elaborated on her departure on her Substack, writing:

Democrats Panic Over the DSA Takeover of Their Party: It’s Too Late

But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. “No police, no prisons, no borders” is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.”

(Mary Dowling) Tiffany Smiley thinks it’s too late for Democrats to save themselves from the DSA communists. Democrats are melting down, finally, over the takeover of their party by socialists and communists.

Smiley says:

“The panic button should have been hit a long time ago. The DSA candidates have already won nearly two dozen races.”

“The ship has already sailed; the train is already off the tracks. It’s going to be hard to pull that in now.”

ESPN/NFL sports analyst and Charlie Kirk-hater gets fired on LIVE TV…

“People watch ESPN because they want to hear about quarterbacks, coaches, trades, and games. They don’t want to be told what to think about conservatives, Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, or the latest racial controversy.”

(Revolver) Controversial ESPN analyst Ryan Clark went into a commercial break and never came back.

The longtime NFL commentator and left-wing political nut was sitting on the set of NFL Live when ESPN told him he’d been fired. Continue reading

Truth Be Told

“That’s where the nation finds itself. The opposing party does not believe anything the President says because they want to destroy him.”

(Bill O’Reilly) President Trump believes elections in America have been compromised and is attempting to persuade “we the people” that his assertion is true.

Mr. Trump had to know before his speech on Thursday that the Democrat leadership was not going to believe anything he said or any document he presented.  And that’s exactly what happened…. Continue reading

The Devil’s Work Following Charlie Kirk’s Murder

“The militant Left that cannot tolerate debate, demanding that everyone conform to their radical ideology, or else. Many times, it is hateful insults, but inevitably, as the rhetoric is strong against those “hate-filled Christians,” deranged individuals resort to violence. They actually believe that someone like Kirk is a threat to what they falsely believe is good, as all kinds of immorality have been pushed forth. Kirk’s death was an opportunity for America to acknowledge that the far Left, with their hateful rhetoric, killed Kirk, and their ideology has no place in America.” 

(Seth Brickley – TruthScript) The preliminary trial for Tyler Robinson, the accused killer of Charlie Kirk, started last week. It has been ten months since Kirk was savagely murdered at Utah Valley University on the early afternoon of September 10th. When Kirk died, it shook the entire nation. Americans and others across the world were in disbelief that a young man, only thirty-one years old and so full of life, could be taken so viciously and suddenly. Some believed he was on his way to being the future President. In the US political conservative scene, his great loss is hard to put into words. Continue reading

Steve Lawson Briefly Appears As Conference Speaker, Then Is Purged From Website

UPDATE

“According to sources his appearance was in error. The conference organizers advertised Lawson’s participation without his knowledge or consent. They invited him to be a speaker, but before hearing that he intended to decline, there was an internal misunderstanding that led them to assume he would agree. As soon as he found out about it, he informed them of his declining the offer, and they promptly removed him from the line-up, which explains why his name and bio details disappeared after a few hours.”

Original article:

(Protestia) 18 months after being removed from “all ministry activities” by Trinity Bible Church in Dallas for having an inappropriate relationship with a young woman who was not his wife, prominent preacher and speaker Steve Lawson briefly appeared as a speaker at an upcoming  Christian conference before being removed hours later.

The Incredible Shrinking Barack Obama

(O’Reilly.com staff) So where’s Barack?  We don’t mean geographically; no doubt he’s at one of his palatial estates.  But what about politically?  Where is Barack Obama as his Democratic Party gets gobbled up in a hostile takeover by socialists and communists, Trotskyites and Marxists?

The radical Democratic candidates go way beyond Graham Platner, who was finally forced out of the Senate race in Maine.  New Jersey Dems nominated Adam Hamawy, who stood as a character witness for a notorious terrorist….

Abdul Al-Sayed, who endorsed ‘defund the police’ and lied about being a physician, may be Michigan’s Democratic nominee for the Senate.  New York Democrats picked House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, who wipes her hand on the American flag if there’s not a napkin available.  To the west in Colorado, 29-year-old perpetual student and 9/11 apologist Melat Kiros will run for a seat in the U.S. House.  The beat goes on – across the country there are young candidates whose love of socialism is rivaled only by their hatred of ICE, capitalism, cops, America, and Israel, not necessarily in that order.

NBC, ABC, and CNN Blacked Out the President’s Speech, So Aunt Mary and Uncle John Deleted THEM

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) President Donald Trump’s speech about how China and other bad actors compromised American elections in 2020 and 2024 might be the biggest speech this side of “a day which will live in infamy.” Unlike the respect accorded to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, however, the news media at NBC, ABC, and CNN decided in advance that President Trump could not be trusted to tell the truth about the Titanic hitting America’s election iceberg. So they refused to give the president the time he requested to tell Americans, in the middle of vacation season, that America’s elections have been screwed up for at least the last two major election cycles.

Dangers of the Hebrew Roots Movement

The primary heresy in Hebrew Roots Movement (HRM) beliefs is that Christians must keep the Torah. HRM holds the view that Christ’s death on the cross did not end the Mosaic Covenant, His death renewed it. But is the Torah the foundation of Christianity? Should believers observe the Mosiac laws? In this piece, Tim Chaffey of Answers In Genesis examines HRM and reveals the dangers of the movement.  He writes:

The Hebrew Roots Movement has influenced hundreds of thousands of Christians in recent decades, and many more have encountered arguments from those in that groupThe movement places a strong emphasis on Hebrew traditions and the Mosaic lawThis article will describe the nature of the Hebrew Roots Movement, examine some of its major beliefs in light of relevant biblical passages, and challenge those who have been influenced by its teachings.

The World Made Anew

(Victor Davis Hanson) With a whimper rather than a bang, the world has become a different place than it was in January 2021, when Donald Trump left office. Almost everything we are now told about the global status quo is mistaken—largely because critics focus only on what Trump says rather than on what he does.

Rather, the Left—and some on the Right—are furious whenever Trump tweets, says, or does something that offends their delicate sense of taste, tradition, and decorum. Their outrage leads them to ignore whether this “Art of the Deal” theater ultimately leaves the United States stronger. More often than not, it does. Continue reading

FCC Sets Sights on ‘The View’ and Disney Licenses

(John Nolte – Breitbart) It beggars belief that the Disney Grooming Syndicate benefits from our publicly owned airwaves, which it is allowed to use for free, and is still permitted to abuse this gift by broadcasting two full hours of leftist propaganda every weekday.

Monday to Friday through the ABC broadcast network Disney airs two hours of unanswered attacks on over 50 percent of the country–Jimmy Kimmel and The View–without any repercussions.

Until now.

Tee hee. Continue reading

Illness, Death, and Turmoil Change Face of GOP Senate

“Put it all together, and that is 10 Republicans guaranteed to leave the Senate before any votes are cast in November.”

(Byron York – Townhall) One of the colder aspects of life in Washington politics is that the death of an important person often results, before much grieving is done, in a frenzy of speculation about who will get the unfortunate important person’s job. So it is with South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose death set off an immediate “frenzy” of guessing who would fill his post both in the short and long term. Continue reading

False Teacher of the Day: Isaiah Saldivar

“When we examine the New Testament, we find the apostles preaching Christ crucified, risen, reigning, and returning. We see them proclaiming repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We find them calling believers to grow in holiness through the ordinary means God has given—Scripture, prayer, the local church, faithful shepherds, and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.”

(The Dissenter) There is a new generation of celebrity preachers rising through YouTube algorithms instead of seminaries, podcasts instead of pulpits, and viral clips instead of faithful local church ministry. Every few years another one appears. He speaks with certainty. He tells dramatic stories. He promises access to a level of spiritual power that ordinary Christians have somehow missed. Continue reading
