Starbucks CEO ‘We Are Facing Things…Stores Were Not Built For’

“These are the people who trained their baristas that what they really needed to fear is racist cops.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Starbucks announced the closing of 16 stores, 6 of which are in LA due to crime and drug use.

Yesterday, at an internal meeting, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said, “Starbucks is a window into America… we are facing things in which the stores were not built for… we’re listening to our people and closing stores, and this is just the beginning. There are gonna be many more.” Continue reading

Sen. Hawley: Witness Accusing Me of ‘Violence’ for Saying Men Can’t Get Pregnant Proves Dems ‘Have Lost Their Minds’

Sen. Hawley said that the belief that men can become pregnant has become the Democrats’ “religion.”

(Craig Bannister – CNSNews) On Tuesday, a Democrat witness accused Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) of “violence” for asking if women are the “people with the capacity for pregnancy,” a claim Hawley says shows just how unhinged the Left has become. Continue reading

Bethel Pastor’s Wife, Beni Johnson, Dies of Cancer

“These tragedies are exposing the false movement within this church and the charismatic movement as a whole.”

(The Dissenter) I want to preface this article with the disclaimer that this is in no way intended to be spiteful or distasteful nor is it meant to disgrace these people in any way. Despite the grave errors and even damnable heresies of the extreme charismatic movement and, in particular, Bethel Church, these are still people who, like you and me, are sinners in need of a savior. Continue reading

Sri Lanka Is the Future the Global Elites Want for Everyone

(Stacy Lennox – PJ Media) While the culture wars and inflation preoccupy you, several countries worldwide face food insecurity and destabilization thanks to the bright ideas of our global elites. Sri Lanka is in the news this week as the government appears to be toppling, but the nation is not the first to fall as a result of actions taken by our irresponsible betters.

To fight the Sun Monster, nations entirely on board with the global climate agenda are encouraging the use of natural fertilizers…. Continue reading

Biden Regime and Feds are Buying Cell Phone Location Data on Millions of Americans Through Private Brokers – Same Type of Data Used by ‘2000 Mules’ Investigators

“What’s even more concerning is that the app developers themselves have no affiliation whatsoever with the large data brokers who sell the data. It’s essentially a free for all with people’s private information.”

(Julian Conradson – Gateway Pundit) Big brother just got a little bigger with the help of corporate America.

A new bombshell report by the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) has blown the lid off of the “vast, secretive” partnership between private companies and the federal government to surveil and track the movements of millions of people. Continue reading

Dad Runs Into Biden on Bike Trail, Catches ‘Live Sniffing’ of Young Girl

“Sadly, this is far from the first time Biden has been captured in the midst of an inappropriate interaction with a young child.”

(Grant Atkinson – Western Journal) President Joe Biden has long been known for his questionable actions around young children, and a new video provided yet another example of this fact.

In the video shared on Twitter, Biden can be seen standing next to a young girl on what appears to be a bike trail in the woods. Continue reading

Our New Antoinettes

“The worries of the Antoinette liberal elite—climate change, abortion on demand, transgenderism, strict gun-control—are not those that terrify the middle and lower classes. The latter, for some reason, first want to survive one more day with enough affordable food and energy and to be safe from criminals.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Marie Antoinette, the beheaded wife of the beheaded French Bourbon King Charles Louis XVI, did not really say “Let them eat cake.”

But in the short time that the French Revolution became utterly unhinged, toxic, and nihilistic, she became nonetheless iconic as an out-of-touch elite who had lived in a make-believe world at Versailles, without a clue (or care?) about the ordeal of the masses. Continue reading

Tim Tebow, Priscilla Shirer Team Up for ‘Multi-Million Dollar’ Prosperity Gospel Event

(The Dissenter) The prosperity gospel is arguably the second-most nefarious and subversive false gospel plaguing the American Church today, right behind the social justice gospel. The prosperity gospel teaches that God is, in a sense, a genie in a bottle, and by having enough faith, you can get what you want from him — material gain.

The prosperity gospel in America is largely associated with celebrity hucksters like Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, and others, but the false gospel has plagued the more conservative sects as well…. Continue reading

What the Death of Hollywood Means for America

The entertainment industry’s programming has been most conservative when control was consolidated by studios and networks. It is least conservative when it is driven by “talent”.

(Daniel Greenfield) – Frontpage Mag) Peak TV, a stunning era during which Big Tech and traditional studios entered into a furious competition to make a bewildering amount of content, is dead. The 559 scripted shows from last year represent a historic hubris that everyone, especially investors, is recovering from. Continue reading

George Soros Picks the Future Governor of Georgia?

“These donors are far-left globalists. They don’t have our best interests at heart, just their own. They are fortune seekers.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) George Soros, who has singlehandedly ruined our Justice system with his buying of elections for DAs and sheriffs, is now trying to buy Stacey Abrams a governorship, along with celebrity authoritarians like Steven Spielberg, and Melinda Gates. Continue reading

There’s No Way Joe Biden Survives This: Democrats Must Jettison Him BEFORE Midterm Season Heats Up

“I actually want Biden to remain alive and in office, so Republicans can impeach him, then investigate, subpoena, harass, raid, and colonoscopize him and his family and associates like Democrats are still doing to Trump.)”

(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) As the Hunter Biden story continues to explode in scandal and scope, it’s becoming impossible to hide. Even if Fake News and Big Tech keep up their efforts to suppress it, it’s so vast and egregious that it’s going to erupt into a campaign issue in the fall — and Democrats can’t have that. Continue reading

Church of England Fails Miserably When Asked ‘What is a Woman?’

(Protestia) According to the Church of England, there is “no official definition” of a woman.

It’s an unsurprising admittance from the Anglican Church, led by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury who is an all-around simpish and effete hireling. For decades the church has been drifting on issues of theology and human sexuality, proving time and time again the 26-million-member denomination is not the least bit committed to upholding the biblical teaching in marriage. Continue reading

Follow the COVID Money

(Jeffrey L. Barke – American Thinker) If the COVID-19 vaccines have been a disappointment from a public health standpoint in stopping the continuing spread of new variants of the disease, why is Big Pharma as well as its government allies in the FDA, CDC, and NIH still pushing them?

As Deep Throat whispered to Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal (“Follow the money”), so, too, the American public should be demanding the same of its political  leaders: Follow the COVID money to determine why we continue to spend a fortune on something that seems to have only a relatively limited benefit. Continue reading

Bethel Pastor Shares Ridiculous Testimony of Waitress Being ‘Activated’ For Guessing What Customers Wanted

“It doesn’t surprise me and it shouldn’t surprise you that these crazy lunatics at the Bethel cult run around spreading this nonsense. But it saddens me that so many people believe this stuff and fall for it.”

Bethel Church in Redding, California, is pastored and co-pastored by Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, respectively, who believe themselves to be prophets and Apostles of God. Bethel is well-known for its debunked “manifestations” of the Holy Spirit, including its infamous spectacle known as “glory clouds.” The “glory cloud” spectacle has been thoroughly debunked and its various other acts of blasphemy, like grave sucking, have been shown to be contra-biblical and heterodox. Continue reading

Biden’s America Is Abysmal, But Globalism Is Destroying Other Countries Even Worse

“So, why does it matter that a mid-sized middle-income country on the other side of the world is melting down from an overdose of liberalism? Because, as it happens, a lot of countries are melting down right now.” 

(Revolver) America under Old Joe is, to say the least, not headed in the right direction, and 88 percent of the country agrees. Not even one-fifth of Democrats can muster the guts to say things are going well. The economy is shaky, inflation is out of control, the streets are in chaos, and America has hopped from fighting one disastrous war to funding another. We need not belabor points that you, dear reader, already know. Continue reading

The End of Private Car Ownership

“The dirty truth about the “clean” car market is that it consists of traditional car companies and Tesla frantically trying to unload a limited share of luxury electric cars on wealthy customers to cash in on the emissions credits mandated by states like California.” 

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Mag) The term “pedestrian” has a derogatory meaning because peasants walked while nobles were “equestrians” and rode horses. The industrial revolution eliminated this class difference, as it did so many others, by making car ownership available to the masses until eventually Herbert Hoover was able to boast that “Republican prosperity has reduced and increased earning capacity” to “put the proverbial ‘chicken in every pot’ and a car in every backyard to boot.” Continue reading

Dear Businesses: Stop Being Political

(Brian Mark Weber – The Patriot Post) It’s hard to get away from politics these days.

Across the country, large businesses and corporations continue to publicize their (usually left-wing) positions on issues such as LGBTQ rights, abortion, and gun control. In most cases, it’s in response to pressure from outside groups, not their customers. Sure, it’s a free country, but do we really need businesses pronouncing on abortion or plastering their windows with rainbow stickers? Continue reading

Pride Will Bring Him Low – Proverbs 29:23

One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. Proverbs 29:23

We only need to survey the culture around us to find evidence that the first half of this proverb is true.  Secularized individuals (I say this instead of secularists simply because many people would certainly not call themselves secularists yet have nonetheless been thoroughly secularized, which is what has happened to liberal Christianity) are certainly those most supportive of celebrating pride as though it were a virtue. This is the same demographic that evidently faces the sharpest battle against  despair. These two facts are related by causation not mere correlation. Continue reading

Identity Politics for People Without Identities

“Victimhood identity politics is debilitating for minorities, but even more so for white wokes who rely on them for moral validation, playing saviors and oppressors, exoticising minorities to achieve a secondhand sense of meaning and purpose through them, rather than with them.”

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Mag} There’s no one quite so woke as a white twenty-something with no identity of his, her or xer own, only peer tastes and consumer products. The corporate fusion of consumerism and identity politics in which everyday brands and retailers from Dove to Walmart champion black nationalism or celebrate ‘pride’ happened because they have the same target demographic. Continue reading

Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling on drop boxes undercuts Democrats’ clean election claim

“WEC’s authorization of ballot drop boxes was unlawful,” the Wisconsin Supreme Court said in its ruling.

(John Solomon – Just the News) The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling striking down the use of ballot drop boxes is the latest evidence that a widely used mechanism for the 2020 election was illegal, undercutting Democratic claims that any irregularities in the contest were insufficient to sway outcomes. Continue reading

Secretary Austin Demands a Fully Vaccinated Military – Could Fire 60K

“There is no medical reason to demand these vaccinations. They don’t stop the spread and they don’t keep anyone from catching the illness. The illness has so many variants that the vaccine doesn’t even address the current variants. The vaccines can’t keep up with the variants.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The U.S. Army on Friday said that roughly 40,000 National Guardsmen and 22,000 Reservists who have refused to get vaccinated against the coronavirus will be barred from their duties, cutting their pay and benefits. The Biden military demands soldiers loyal to their commands even when it comes to a vaccine that doesn’t work as claimed. Continue reading

Bethel Church Selling a ‘Declaration Clicker’ to Tabulate Your ‘Declarations’ and ‘Increase Your Faith’

“The declarations clicker “is a powerful and practical tool to help believers renew their minds with truth by helping them tabulate the number of times they speak biblically based declarations.”

[The Dissenter) If you’re familiar with the cult of Bethel Redding, you’re aware that they’re known for their gimmicks such as practicing grave sucking (or grave soaking) whereby people lay on the graves of dead people to “soak” the anointing from them. Continue reading

CDC allegedly failed to perform promised ‘routine surveillance’ of Covid-19 vaccine adverse events

(Sharyl Attkisson) Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) is questioning Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky about whether her agency actually performed the necessary surveillance of Covid-19 vaccine adverse events, as outlined in the agency’s operating procedures.

A recent article noted that CDC did not compile all of the data on vaccine adverse events as it said they would.  Continue reading

Sick! Abortion Activists Pour Blood All Over Themselves and Protest on Steps of LA City Hall

Watch the video of these left-wing activist nincompoops.

(The Dissenter) There is little more stupidity in the world than what can be found in the general population of liberal California. True, there is quite a bit in other leftist strongholds, but the mass psychosis stupidity found in the deepest darkest corners of California progressivism leaves little doubt that it is among the most cursed of all people groups in the world. Continue reading
