“Biden talks about freedom, yet he’s targeting your Second Amendment rights with calls for gun bans and by signing executive orders. Government bureaucrats, with his endorsement, have violated the First Amendment through Big Tech censorship.”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) It’s official. President Joe Biden is running for re-election and taking Vice President Kamala Harris along with him. Continue reading
(Revolver) Abby Grossberg is a woman you will likely hear a lot about in the coming days. She was Tucker Carlson’s former producer and was recently fired for inappropriate actions regarding the Dominion lawsuit.
Grossberg has a history of working with left-wing organizations before she landed at Fox News. And by the looks of her resume, it’s very likely that she never had much love for Tucker or his conservative views to begin with…. Continue reading
“The prosperity gospel taps into our fears and vulnerabilities. For those experiencing illness or financial hardship, the idea that faith in God can lead to healing and wealth is a powerful message. It’s easy to see why so many people find hope and solace in this doctrine.”
(The Dissenter) The prosperity gospel is like a shimmering mirage in the desert of life, enticing the weary traveler with promises of a lush oasis just within reach. As they approach, hope fills their heart, only to find that the closer they get, the further the illusion recedes, leaving them parched and disillusioned, realizing they’ve been chasing a fantasy. Continue reading
“Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald were co-conspirators in the Great Evangelical Coverup that gave the prosperity-preaching heretic the respectability of orthodoxy that was trumpeted all across the evangelical landscape, from The Christian Post to Christianity Today.”
(Protestia) Former megachurch pastor and current church-growth guru Tim Ross has claimed the belief in the Trinity is a non-essential issue and that Trinity-deniers have a “fidelity to Jesus Christ.” Continue reading
“Over the weekend, the historic company, founded in 1852 in St. Louis, Missouri, announced that the two marketing executives who were the brains behind the Mulvaney campaign, Alissa Heinerscheid and Daniel Blake, were each taking leaves of absence.”
(Lee Barney – NewsMax) Bud Light, the largest beer brand in the U.S. before the Dylan Mulvaney transgender furor, has suffered a 17% decline in dollar sales and a 34.7% plunge in volume at restaurants and bars, the New York Post reports. Continue reading
“Megyn Kelly told her podcast audience on Monday that Carlson could look forward to “blue, blue skies ahead. He’s got a bright future. A more joyous, brighter, and more lucrative future.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Fox News “is dead,” and Tucker Carlson already has his first job offer. It came within hours of the shocking announcement that he and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation were “parting ways.” Who took the biggest hit? It looks like Fox News has. Continue reading
(Breitbart) Fox News said Monday it has “agreed to part ways” with Tucker Carlson, its popular and controversial host, less than a week after settling a lawsuit over the network’s 2020 election reporting.
The network said in a press release that the last program of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” aired Friday.
“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the press release from the network said. Continue reading
People who have developed life-altering ringing in their ears after Covid vaccinations demand deeper investigation into this potential side effect.
(Erika Edwards – NBC News) Thousands of people say they’ve developed tinnitus after they were vaccinated against Covid. While there is no proof yet that the vaccines caused the condition, theories for a possible link have surfaced among researchers. Continue reading
(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) From time immemorial, that adults lose cognitive ability over time has been taken for granted. The conventional wisdom is that loss of mental faculties is a natural consequence of the aging process.
However, recent research published in Aging and Mental Health calls that assumption into question, demonstrating that, in fact, not only can cognitive decline be prevented through lifestyle interventions alone, but it can potentially be reversed through cognitive gains even late in life. Continue reading
“Antinomianism works on people’s consciences by convincing them that God does not require us to turn from our wicked ways. Antinomianism presents a Christianity that requires no personal effort or spiritual striving against sin. It offers a counterfeit freedom to the true freedom that Christ gives believers.
(Ligonier) What are legalism and antinomianism?
The terms legalism and antinomianism describe two false teachings regarding the relationship between the law and the gospel. Legalism is the insistence that a person is accepted by God on the basis of his law keeping. It teaches that we are declared righteous before God through our own observance of either God’s law or man-made rules and regulations. Continue reading
“Platt’s position, of course, is terminal because he sees evil as a political issue, rather than a moral one. He states, “You cannot follow Jesus as a member of this church and advocate for abortion.” Yet, apparently you can promote, campaign for, vote for, and ostensibly run for office for the party that does all it can to advocate for, protect, expand, entrench, and promote it.”
(Protestia) Two years ago, David Platt gave an earnestly couched ultimatum to church members who were upset and contemplating breaking fellowship with other congregants who were promoting, working for, or voting for the pro-baby-killing Democratic party: maybe you should leave. Continue reading

(The Dissenter) Andy Stanley, a clearly-defined and well-exposed false teacher, has faced a well-deserved backlash from conservative Christians for his unorthodox and aberrant teachings on such things as biblical interpretation, theology, and the role of the church. His approach, which is to be “seeker-sensitive”, focuses on luring non-believers to church over teaching biblical truth, diluting the gospel to cater to the goats. Stanley is dismissive of traditional orthodox doctrine and teachings and disregards the authority of the Bible while pushing his own personal beliefs as gospel. Continue reading
(Joan Swirsky – RenewAmerica) According to the Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest statistics, in 2020 one in 36 children (approximately four percent of boys and one percent of girls) was estimated to have autism spectrum disorder, estimates that are significantly higher than those in all previous years. White children are about 19 percent more likely than black children and 65 percent more likely than Hispanic children to be diagnosed with autism.
Experts offer various reasons for the general increase in this condition: Continue reading
Who’s behind BioLogos? Progressives Tim Keller and Francis Collins.
“BioLogos urges us to “confess” our role in “environmental degradation.” This movement, like many progressive ones, seeks to instill a sense of collective guilt, which can ultimately leads to collective punishment. For example, when a single mass shooter attacks a school and kills innocent children, the left blames society as a whole and then advocates for widespread gun control, which does nothing to address the root cause of individual sin.”
(The Dissenter) In recent years, extreme environmentalism has taken center stage in the public discourse, with numerous overly-impassioned voices calling for a radical reevaluation of our relationship with the natural world, as though the future of humanity is solely dependent upon “Mother Earth.”… Continue reading
“In a biblically illiterate culture, it is easy for misconceptions to metastasize while many have been led into false theological upbringings. Many of those people, particularly when they came out of hyper-charismatic or NAR movements, are especially thankful for discernment ministries.”
In the realm of Christian YouTube, there is few channels greater in size than that of “The Beat by Allen Parr.” For a channel of around 1 million, his videos contain flashy headlines that do not reveal assertions about the underlying content or stances, which include hot takes on theology and discernment on false teachers delivered in short form videos. Of his top 10 videos, eight of them deal directly either with discernment against large false churches and teachers or are against the excesses of the charismatic church movement. Allen Parr is a discernment YouTuber, regardless of whether he would identify as one or not. Continue reading
(Steven Nelson – New York Post) Attorney General Merrick Garland is the unnamed official whose sworn testimony before Congress is being challenged in a bombshell letter from an IRS whistleblower’s attorney that also alleges a cover-up in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation, The Post has learned.
Attorney Mark Lytle wrote Wednesday that the longtime IRS employee wants to provide information to congressional leaders to “contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee” — Garland — and also to detail “preferential treatment” in the criminal probe of the first son. Continue reading
“Unfortunately, today on the floor, not one Democrat could stand up for Title IX, or stand up for women in sports. I believe that’s wrong.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Make no mistake about it, the transgender cult owns the Democratic Party. On Thursday, the United States House of Representatives voted to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, but not a single present Democrat voted in favor of it. Continue reading
“Those who work in the industry believe the new rules will only serve to frustrate and confuse people as home ownership becomes an increasingly distant dream for so many under the Biden administration.”
(Breitbart) Good-credit homebuyers will be forced to pay more for their mortgages to subsidize loans to higher-risk borrowers when a Biden administration rule begins to take effect next month. Continue reading
“Reports circulated of openly homosexual people leading worship and people frequently taking the stage to preach or share testimonies, often misquoting and twisting Scripture and promoting bad, even terrible theology. Regrettably, the absence of mature leadership to offer correction or guidance resulted in a disordered and chaotic atmosphere.”
(The Dissenter) You may recall the Asbury Revival at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, back in February 2023, which generated quite a buzz. People eagerly shared news of the event through social media and Christian online publications, hoping that it signaled a genuine spiritual awakening. But did this revival really deliver on its promises? Continue reading

(Stephanie Nolasco – Fox News) Granger Smith is walking away from his successful country music career – and he’s relieved.
Earlier this month, the singer/songwriter took to his social media pages and announced that his upcoming “Like a River” tour, named after his son, would be his last. The 43-year-old is gearing up to devote his life to ministry at his local church outside of Austin, Texas. His final show is on Aug. 26. Continue reading
“It’s clear from our investigation that Hunter and other members of the Biden family engaged in deceptive, shady business schemes to avoid scrutiny as they made millions from foreign adversaries like China. We’ve been wondering all along where the heck the DOJ and the IRS have been.”
(John Solomon – Just the News) A decorated supervisory IRS agent has reported to the Justice Department’s top watchdog that federal prosecutors appointed by Joe Biden have engaged in “preferential treatment and politics” to block criminal tax charges against presidential son Hunter Biden, providing evidence as a whistleblower that conflicts with Attorney General Merrick Garland’s recent testimony to Congress that the decision to bring charges against Biden was being left to the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware. Continue reading
“In a three-page letter addressed to the lieutenant governor and the entire legislative body, Leatherwood implied that the large number of Southern Baptists in Tennessee, which comprise 1/5 of the state’s population, were behind the law, accusing those who oppose the red flag law of using “weapons of partisan warfare.” The letter fails to address the clear pro-LGBT motive in the shooting.,,,”
(Paul Brown) Brent Leatherwood, President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the convention’s political lobbying organization, has thrown the support of the ERLC behind proposed red flag gun control laws in his home state of Tennessee. Under a bill proposed by Governor Bill Lee and supported by Leatherwood, courts would have the ability to remove firearms from the possession of those deemed “extreme risk,” a mechanism that violates individual gun owner rights by infringing on constitutional due process. Continue reading
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Biden’s State Department concealed the COVID-19 Wuhan Lab origin as gathered by US intelligence. The Department page was axed, but a “Wayback Machine” archive still exists. It was posted in February 2021.
There is the original Washington Times report as well.
US scientist Dr. Peter Daszek admitted that it originated in Wuhan but lied to shield Chinese scientists. Continue reading
“The manifesto may show that this person was ill-treated by people on the Right, or it may prove that those in the trans community, and for that matter the Left, are not the blameless, selfless victims they have made themselves out to be. And I suspect that there is far too much money and far too many egos, reputations, deals, and political ambitions involved to allow the information in the shooter’s writings to be published. And so the sin will remain unexpiated.”
(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) A short time back, our editor-in-chief said that there had been a school shooting in Nashville, and asked if anyone would cover it. I wrote the first story about it for PJ Media…. Continue reading
(The Dissenter) Today, longtime pastor and founder of In Touch Ministries, Charles Stanley, passed away at 90. Charles, who served as senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Atlanta, was no theological gatekeeper and he certainly was not without his problems. We’ve written about many of them over the years right here at The Dissenter. However, Charles did appear to genuinely love his son Andy, and on many occasions, vocalized his opposition to many of Andy’s progressive views, albeit in a non-forceful way. Continue reading
