Russell Moore Runs Into Daily Wire Journalist at Airport, Refuses to Answer Questions About Francis Collins

“In her piece, Megan Basham explains how the federal government co-opted Evangelical leaders like Russell Moore and Ed Stetzer to spread leftist COVID-19 propaganda to Christians through people like Francis Collins.”

(Reformation Charlotte) Russell Moore has been a staunch advocate of former National Institutes of Health (NIH) director, Francis Collins. Moore and other Evangelical leaders [Tim Keller, Rick Warren, Ed Stetzer, N.T. Wright to name a few, plus Christianity Today and The Gospel Coalition] have touted Collins as a strong Christian advocate in public healthcare despite the fact that he’s pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ. Moore repeatedly platformed Collins during his tenure at the ERLC to adjure Christians to heed his advice on vaccines and other COVID-related issues. Continue reading

Doctors Declare ‘National Emergency’ In Children’s Mental Health

“Reports indicate overall emergency department visits by children have decreased each year since 2020 while visits for chronic illnesses, injuries, mental health and behavioral issues jumped during the same period.”

(OAN) Health experts are raising alarms about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children’s mental health. During the pandemic, parents have reported grief, anxiety and depression among children while citing school closures and forced isolation as the primary culprits. Continue reading

The Wickedness of Putin and the Problem of Power

“Putin is committing acts of evil. Of that, there can be no debate. But it seems mankind is fated to be ruled by people who lust for the trappings of power and do not desire the burdens of service. Let us not forget that the wickedness of Putin can be found much closer to home.”

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) In an article in The Hill on Tuesday, Russia analyst Fiona Hill gave her take on the horrific situation in Ukraine. Of note, Hill said that Putin is motivated by a desire to reestablish “Russian dominance of what Russia sees as the Russian ‘Imperium.’” This includes more real estate than what was under the Soviet Union. And who knows? Putin may see himself as heir apparent to the tsars…. Continue reading

Post-Christian Ideologies at Christian and Secular Colleges

“Christian schools must recognize that these new progressive ideologies pose an existential threat to their continued existence. As colleges around the country struggle with enrollment and face the risk of closure at an unprecedented rate, Christian schools must send a clear message that their education is fundamentally different from what goes on in secular institutions. Parents, donors, and k-12 educators must have confidence that what happens at Christian U will build on, rather than tear down, the early education of their students.”

(David Talcott – truthXchange) For some time now, truthXchange has been warning the church about the inroads that post-Christian ideologies are making into Christian colleges. The pagan worldview that reasserted itself in America in the late 20th century has now incorporated new ideas about sexuality, race, and other hot-button topics. A recent series of articles in mainstream outlets shows just how bad things have become in both secular and Christian higher education. Continue reading

Confused Old Man Yells at Nation for an Hour

“With the price of gas, homes, and groceries out of the reach of most Americans, Biden began by taking credit for doing nothing to stop Putin from invading Ukraine. And then vowed that he, along with a coalition of “freedom loving nations” would fight Putin until the last Ukrainian.”

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Magazine) A confused political hack from Delaware staged a one-man insurrection by invading the sacred precincts of the Capitol building, hijacking all the TV networks, and yelling that the planet would be destroyed unless we gave him all our money so he could burn it and turn it into green energy. Continue reading

Putin’s Biden His Time

“It is true that some partisans will hammer the other side no matter what the circumstance, and that is destructive to our Republic. But in order to stop destructive policies like open borders, rampant inflation, erosion of criminal justice, you can’t just rally behind the guy who’s responsible – even if Biden is trying to contain the homicidal Putin.” 

(Bill O’Reilly) The Long Island newspaper Newsday is calling for all Americans to rally around President Biden in the conflict with Russia. Its editorial on February 26 states: “The undercutting of Biden by Republicans as he actively navigates armed conflict is shameful. The nation was stronger when domestic political squabbling ended at the water’s edge.” Continue reading

Pfizer mRNA Spike Protein Is Part of Your Cell Within Hours – NOT What the CDC Proclaimed

Watch the video!

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) A legitimate study that was revised, peer-reviewed, and published found that the mRNA from the Pfizer vaccine turns into DNA in the liver in vitro (an artificial environment outside a living organism). This is a legitimate study by prominent researchers. We don’t know if Pfizer knew. They haven’t said anything about it. However, the CDC insisted the RNA did not enter the cells. Continue reading

The Covid Cartel Lied, People Died. Now They Say It’s All Your Fault

“The body count was simply too high for them to admit they were wrong about the life-saving potential of these drugs  [hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin]. So instead of fessing up to their tragic  mismanagement, they allowed more people to needlessly die.”

(Ron Johnson and Robert Malone – The Federalist) In July 2021, President Biden, members of his administration, and the rest of the Covid cartel – federal health agencies, Big Pharma, legacy media, and Big Tech – began blaming the unvaccinated for the prolonged pandemic and calling it a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Continue reading

The Suicide of a January 6 Defendant: ‘They Broke Him’

“They broke him, they mentally broke him. He had run out of hope. I know he couldn’t take it any more.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) Matthew Perna did nothing wrong on January 6, 2021.

The Pennsylvania man walked through an open door on the Senate side of the building shortly before 3 p.m. that afternoon. Capitol police, shown in surveillance video, stood by as hundreds of Americans entered the Capitol. Wearing a “Make America Great Again” sweatshirt, Perna, 37, left after about 20 minutes. Continue reading

Million Dollar Homes Become Status Symbols of Televangelists and Pastors

(Barry Bowen and Pete Evans, Trinity Foundation) Donors, where is the money going?

When a televangelist’s ministry or pastor’s church owns a private jet, you can almost be certain the leader lives in a mansion. That is one of the lessons Trinity Foundation has learned from investigating religious fraud and excess for more than 30 years.

In April 2021 the Houston Chronicle’s Jay Root asked Trinity Foundation for assistance on an article series about church parsonages in Texas…. Continue reading

Suffer the Little Children

“A fair bit of sudden-onset diabetes and DKA”

(Alex Berenson – Unreported Truths) VAERS – the federal side effects reporting system – has received more than 500 reports of life-threatening events, permanent disability,or deaths following mRNA shots in kids and adolescents.

In the light of today’s report that the jabs actually increase the risk of Covid infection in kids under 12 – and do little or nothing to reduce hospitalizations… Continue reading

Conservative Southern Baptist churches are using your tithes & offerings to enrich radical Leftists lawyers.

Pastor Tom Buck posed questions about the recent hiring. Buck asked, “1) Could we not find a law firm that didn’t financially support the wicked LGBT agenda? 2) Is this the law firm we want representing us if and when we are sued by LGBT radicals?”

(Capstone Report) Radical Leftists within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) drove out the longtime conservative and Christian lawyers who represented the SBC since 1966 and replaced the conservatives with a law firm approved by radical LGBTQ Leftists. Continue reading

The Crowded Road to Kyiv

To retain our deterrence abroad, we must tighten our belts at home, pump oil and gas, start to balance our budget, junk wokeism as a nihilist indulgence, and recalibrate our military. 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) One of the oddest commentaries about the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the boilerplate reaction that “borders can’t change in modern Europe” or “this does not happen in the 21st century.”

But why in the world should the 21st century be exempt from the pathologies of the past 20 centuries? Are we smarter than the Romans? More innovative than Florentines? Do we have more savvy leaders than Lincoln or Churchill? Are they more mellifluous than Demosthenes? Does anyone now remember that some 130,000 were slaughtered just 30 years ago in the former Yugoslavia, as NATO planes bombed Belgrade and nuclear America and Russia almost squared off?… Continue reading

A Warning about Bible Verses

(Greg Koukl – Stand to Reason) Let me offer you a warning that will vastly improve your ability to understand Scripture—if you heed it. It’s an insight for every person who has ever asked, “How does this verse apply to my life?” Here it is: There are no verses in the Bible. Nope. Not one. At least, not in the original, and that’s the Bible that matters.

Let’s start with a definition. A “verse” is a passage of Scripture distinguished from other passages of Scripture by a numerical address (e.g., John 3:16, famously)…. Continue reading

The Government From Hell

“The fact is that the government from hell is working to transform a democratic nation into a police state and normalize totalitarian rule without having to mobilize the military and scramble its jet fighters. It moves subtly, insidiously, through legislation, decree, deception, legal subterfuge, financial penalties, and targeted defamation.” 

(David Solway – PJ Media) The trucker convoy has come and gone. The bouncy castles have been put away, the hot tubs dismantled, the 18-wheelers towed, the party atmosphere vanished into air, into thin air. They are such stuff as dreams are made of. Continue reading

Trudeau’s Tyranny and the War on Civil Society

“The majority of citizens in the “free world” have more or less behaved like frightened, docile cattle throughout the pandemic. The cowardice of Western “man” is what made the bravery of the Canadian truckers so startling, so surprising. Unlike the BLM rioters of 2020, who were bailed out by liberal oligarchs and the state, they have incurred heavy costs for their courageous actions. They have shown that there are still noble souls out there who love freedom enough to demand it at any price. And for that the Trudeau regime is going to make them pay.” 

(Matthew Boose – American Greatness) Since March 2020, global elites throughout the West have been on a power trip. In the name of “science” and public health, they have suspended democratic rule and replaced it with bureaucratic tyranny. Certainly, there have been moments of pushback, but nothing as organized or effective as what truckers in Canada have done in the last few weeks. Continue reading

A Reminder, No Charismatic Prophets Prophecied Russia Invading Ukraine in February

(Protestia) Hopefully it does not need to be said but this is just a friendly reminder that like the COVID-19 virus two years prior, there was not a single charismatic prophet who prophesied last year that Russia would be Invading Ukraine in February of 2022, thus sparking one of the most catalytic and meaningful events of the last 70 years.

Not a one. You can pick your poison and choose any big-name prophet you want. Go through the NAR Rolodex and choose anybody and check their prophecies they all gave about the year- none of them called it. No one. Continue reading

Forget Crack Pipes, a CDC Provider is Promoting ‘Safe’ Fentanyl Use

“Faced with a sharp increase in overdose deaths, Rahul Gupta, the Biden admin’s choice to head the Office of National Drug Control Policy, which is no longer in the business of controlling drugs, proposed more free needles and offering fentanyl test strips to allow addicts to test if their drug of choice has been cut with Communist China’s drug of choice.”

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Magazine) We live in the golden age of the junkie. Not even in the darkest days of the counterculture were addicts able to swarm major cities and sit on the street getting high while knowing that all of their needs and wants would be taken care of…. Continue reading

CDC Updates Mask Guidance

“Under the new standards, only about 28 percent of people live in high-level areas, 42 percent in medium areas and 30 percent in low areas. About 98 million Americans are now in the ‘low’ community level,”

(Charlotte Pence Bond – Daily Wire) On Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its guidance on mask-wearing.

The Wall Street Journal reported, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday changed the metrics it uses to assess Covid-19 risk by county across the U.S…. Continue reading

Biden and EU Refuse to Do This One Thing That Would Nearly Destroy the Russian Economy

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is a global network for payments between banks. International trade and finance would be next to impossible without it.

Indeed, cutting off a country from the SWIFT system would be a death sentence for its economy. There just isn’t a good alternative that a nation could use.

So why doesn’t Biden lower the boom on Putin and really make invading Ukraine not worth it? Continue reading

New 80-Page Report! Ravi Zacharias and RZIM Spent $1,000,000 Suing Abuse Victim

They also recount that there were allegations in 2008-2011 about Ravi being seen holding hands of a woman who was not his wife, as well as a suggestion that he acted inappropriately with a massage therapist. The report further reveals that RZIM, for all their claims of transparency and willingness to be open, has not been particularly helpful or forthcoming in providing them with information.”

(Protestia) After it was revealed that esteemed apologist Ravi Zacharias was a sexual predator and that his organization RZIM, run by his family and an anonymous board helped cover it up, the board commissioned a report to investigate and detail how they as an organization failed to properly handle the allegations…. Continue reading

This Is the Current Situation in Ukraine and Beyond in Videos

“To all Russian citizens who come out to protest, I want to say: we see you. It means that you heard us. It means that you have started to believe us. Fight for us. Fight against war.” Ukraine President  Volodymyr Zelensky

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) President Zelensky is calling for tougher sanctions. Most believe that President Biden’s package was weak and ineffective, particularly in withholding the two most consequential elements of targeting the oil and gas industry and blocking SWIFT.

Biden plans to revisit it in THIRTY DAYS. Continue reading

Gender-Fluid School Bathroom Rapist Takes Third Victim, Court Proceedings Allege

“This has invited speculation that cover-ups and retaliation by school district officials in the other two cases have persuaded the victim to remain silent.”

(Frankie Stokes – National File) New revelations from court proceedings in the Loudoun County, Virginia school bathroom rape case show that the convicted rapist, a biological male who claimed to be gender-fluid and donned a skirt before preying on a female student, is alleged to have a third victim. Continue reading
