The GOP’s ‘Transgender’ Strategy Is Dangerously Off Track

“The chief victims of the transgenderism explosion are not girls losing out on swimming trophies. The chief victims are the mentally vulnerable people suffering from gender dysphoria who are being “transitioned,” mutilated every which way; physically, psychologically, and spiritually, and manipulated into extreme, harmful, and irreversible life choices.”

(Revolver News) A politically damaged, barely viable President Biden has surveyed the political landscape, and, incredibly, chosen transsexualism as his field of battle. With inflation soaring, the economy collapsing, shortages ravaging America, a human invasion tsunami pouring over the border, and repeated international humiliations, Biden and his administration flunkies are declaring an all-out war effort to promote transgenderism in every corner of America.

Domestic Terrorists Put Justice’s 7 Children in Danger – No Word from Biden

“They are looking to get someone killed, even children.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Radical domestic terrorists doxxed Justice Barrett’s home, her church, and her children’s schools. This is extremely dangerous but these radicals want blood in the streets. Not a word from Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, or any of the Democrats. Continue reading

The Gun Bill Just Dropped. Here’s What We Know.

“If the Democrats manage to save face in November you can thank John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Rob Portman, Mitt Romney, and Pat Toomey. They’re basically asking the base to stay home.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) The “compromise” Senate gun bill is here, and if you’re a conservative and/or Republican who thought that November’s midterm elections were a done deal you may want to take a breath. Continue reading

Guilty of Christian Nationalism?

(Peter Jones – truthxchange) The latest critics of the Christian faith accuse Christians of being selfish, out-of-date, non-constitutional “Christian nationalists” who would impose all the Christian rules on everyone around them. Think Ku Klux Klanners parading through Washington, DC in the 1920s to defend “Protestant America.”[1]  Or the The Handmaid’s Tale or a Christian version of 1984. Christians will, they believe, impose an Old Testament-like Christian theocracy on all citizens of the modern state, in which only Christian truth is allowed and the death penalty is employed for various sinful acts. Christian nationalism is decried by many who cry “fascist,” or “domestic terrorist.” Some Christian liberals see their understanding of Christian Nationalism to be “a threat to national security and domestic cohesion,” and even “the greatest threat to the witness of the church.” Continue reading

Tony Evans’s Daughter, Priscilla Shirer, Preaches at Joel Osteen’s Church

(The Dissenter) We’ve written a lot about Tony Evans in the last few days after his appearance at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting to preach a heretical view of the Trinity. But what we don’t do very often is talk about his daughter, Priscilla Shirer.

Priscilla Shirer, daughter of false teacher, Tony Evans, is a good friend and a disciple of well-known prophet-preacher Beth Moore…. Continue reading

Anti-American, Racist CRT Taught to West Point Cadets

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The US Army has introduced Critical Race Theory to West Point cadets. The cadets are given WOKE lessons encouraging them to apply Critical Race Theory to answers about “whiteness”.

Judicial Watch sued for the 600 documents handed over by the Department of Defense exposing the internal attack on our American system.

“Our military is under attack – from within,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a press release. Continue reading

Drag Queen Comes Clean: Keep Kids AWAY From Drag Shows, He Says

(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Boy, does this drag queen have a story — and not an hour, either. Billy, who goes by the name Kitty Demure when performing and is a self-professed “conservative drag queen,” has a warning for the world:

Keep your kids away from drag events.

They’re akin to having, he says, “a stripper or a porn star influence your children.” Continue reading

Christians Must Protest Pride Parades and Their Violent, Sodom-like, Riotous Stonewall Origin

(Grant Van Leuven – Place for Truth) During this month, as the LGBTQ+ community annually parades its banner colors they blasphemously hijack from God’s noahic covenant, Christians will benefit revisiting Genesis 19:1-25 (as Carl Trueman has recently called for in this World Magazine article). Here, God visited Sodom and destroyed the sexually wicked majority while mercifully rescuing the righteous remnant within it.

Look to Lot as your example of righteous living amidst wickedness. Continue reading

Pixar/Disney’s new Toy Story spinoff just bombed on opening weekend and I wonder why

(Holly Ash – Not the Bee) To irrelevance and beyond!

The latest “Toy Story” spinoff, “Lightyear,” struggled at the box office this weekend, following criticism over a gay kiss included in the kids movie.

The flick brought in a total of $51 million in its three day opening, bringing in $20.7 million on Friday, then dropping off to $16.3 million on Saturday, and bringing in another anemic $14 million on Sunday.

Yikes! Continue reading

USA Is Canceling God But the State Is Ready to Step Up

“Free speech, the right to self-defense, privacy, and ownership of private property will soon be a thing of the past. We’re becoming earth worshippers instead.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The US is on the way to canceling God and the current replacement is the State. At least, the Left – now embracing far-left ideology – is hoping that is what will happen.

CANCELING GOD The number of Americans who believe in God has dropped to the lowest level in the 78 years Gallup has asked the question, per a Gallup poll out Friday, Axios reports. Continue reading

Pro-Abortion Protestors March At Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s Home With Blood And Doll Props

(Dillon Burroughs – Daily Wire) Pro-abortion protestors marched in front of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home on Saturday wearing “blood” stained clothing and carrying toy dolls to protest the court’s potential overturn of Roe v. Wade.

The Saturday action adds to a series of protests at the residences of conservative Supreme Court justices.

“We aren’t incubators! Youth procession delivered baby dolls to Amy Coney Barrett…. Continue reading

FINA Bans Transgender Swimmers in Women’s Competitions

“With 71 percent of the vote in favor of the ban, FINA’s executive director said that the approach in drafting the regulations was science backed, comprehensive and emphasized competitive fairness.” 

(Sarah Arnold – Townhall) The international government body for swimmers, FINA, announced its decision to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s elite events.

However, it does have one condition. Continue reading

Get Used to a Different Jesus

(Rick Becker – Famine in the Land) “Get used to different” – the words of “Jesus” in season 1 of The Chosen when he called Matthew as a disciple. These words (not found in the biblical narrative) have become a slogan for the series. Unfortunately, “different” is a description of the Jesus that Dallas Jenkins, the creator and director of The Chosen advocates – a “different” Jesus that we will have to get used to in a negative sense (2 Cor 11:4). This other, or different Jesus will be a popular Jesus, an ecumenical Jesus that brings various “faith traditions” together. An inclusive Jesus that accepts all religions. A Jesus that can be defined in the broadest terms possible. A Jesus that accepts different understandings of his nature. A Jesus that has come to bring peace in this world and harmony among different religions. Essential doctrines will be ignored or viewed as “differences,” and set aside as various cults, false religions, and the majority of the visible church are deceived by the spirit of the antichrist. They’ll claim that they love the same Jesus – which is a different Jesus. Someone playing a role in this universal and syncretic deception is Dallas Jenkins, and it’s no small part given the popularity of his series. Aside from the influential series, what is often overlooked is something just as influential – the words of Dallas Jenkins.  Continue reading

Capitol Breach! Adam Schiff Let 9 Colbert Staffers Into the Capitol Illegally

“They were charged with Unlawful Entry.  This is an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges after consultation with the U.S. Attorney.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Chad Pergram of Fox News confirms that nine producers associated with The Late Show and Stephen Colbert were arrested last night and charged with illegal entry to House office buildings after hours. Democrat Reps. Adam Schiff and Jake Auchincloss let them into the building – illegally. Continue reading

‘They Don’t Know Pro-Life People Well’: the Bravery of Pregnancy Centers Facing Threats

“Personhood laws will make everything else obsolete because they’ll address the questions of when life begins and ends. It’s not just about babies in the womb but about the elderly as well and about quality of life.” 

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Yesterday I wrote about the chilling threats that one pro-abortion group, Jane’s Revenge, has issued against pregnancy centers.

“From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors, and stops operating will no longer be a target,” the threat read in part. “But until you do, it’s open season, and we know where your operations are.” Continue reading

Charlie Kirk, TPUSA Host ‘Pastors Summit’ Headlined by Atheist

The atheist isn’t the only one that should be avoided. Others include David Barton of Wall Builders and Sean Feucht of Bethel Church. Chris Rosebrough of Fighting for the Faith once said about Barton: Dave Barton…is flat out deceitful…he needs to clean up his act…he is discrediting himself and he is discrediting Christianity by engaging in deception.’” David Barton has also appeared on arch heretic Kenneth Copeland’s show.

Because of Charlie Kirk’s lack of discernment, CRN cannot recommend the Pastors Summit. Continue reading

Clueless Joe Biden

“The folks know old Joe is jiving them. An ABC News poll released last week says just 28 percent of American adults think Biden is doing a good job handling inflation. Not sure, but I think some of the 28 percent were smoking crack when ABC called.”

(Bill O’Reilly) In 1920, a Chicago White Sox outfielder nicknamed Shoeless Joe Jackson was banned from Major League Baseball for conspiring to fix the 1919 World Series. The accusation was that Jackson did not field his position properly, leading to the Sox losing to the Cincinnati Reds. Jackson and seven other players allegedly received bribes to “fix” the series. Continue reading

Americans Without a Country, Agents Without Morale, Land Without Borders

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Americans are without a country. Border agents no longer have any “morale” as they try to defend this country’s borders under a President who refuses to close the borders or support them.

Border Patrol agents nabbed 15 people at the southern border in May who were on the FBI’s terrorist screening database, showing the free-for-all along the U.S.-Mexico boundary is unabated, according to The Washington Times. Continue reading

Don’t read this if you’re vaccinated

(Alex Berenson) mRNA Covid vaccines offer essentially no defense against Omicron only months after a booster shot, according to a major new study from British researchers.  Both antibody and T-cell protection are nearly non-existent, the scientists found.

In an even more worrisome development, when vaccinated but previously uninfected people suffer breakthrough Omicron infections, their T-cell response is biased toward earlier versions of Sars-Cov-2 – not to the Omicron variant that has actually infected them. Continue reading

In a Surprising Move, Left-Drifting Reformed Denomination Codifies Homosexuality as Sin in Revised Confession

“The church must warn its members that those who refuse to repent of these sins—as well as of idolatry, greed, and other such sins—will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

(The Dissenter) The Dissenter has documented the leftward drift of the popular Reformed Calvin University over the years. Calvin University (formerly Calvin College) is home to a number of student organizations, one of which is Sexuality and Gender Awareness (SAGA). Continue reading

Queering the Southern Baptist Convention

“The radical Leftists started with Critical Race Theory (CRT), advanced to the issue of women pastors…and are now open about working with and celebrating pro-LGBTQ partners.”

(Capstone Report) Southern Baptists like most conservative Americans were alarmed when it was revealed that Disney was grooming children into radical LGBTQ sexual ideology. Yet, Southern Baptist elites did nothing about it. They continued to hawk discounted tickets to Disneyland and now the newly elected President of the Southern Baptist Convention celebrated his win at—wait for it—Disneyland following the Southern Baptist Convention in Anaheim. Continue reading

Welcome to Secular Relativist Hell

“People who truly believe that they have the right to the world being exactly as they want it have no problem justifying any means to help craft their impossible world, from ruining careers to ending lives. It’s the impetus for everything from Twitter cancel culture mobs to mass shooters.”

(Stephen Kruiser) Well, I’m not a casual observer and have no problem saying that this country’s woes can be traced to the abandonment of God and moral absolutes for the false comfort of secular relativism. Continue reading

Biden Signs an LGBT Executive Order to Overrule the States’ Efforts

Drag queen dances for child as adults look on.

“The order emphasizes the need to allow boys and men in girls’ and women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers if the boys or men say they are girls or a woman. That applies even if he is fully a man physically.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Biden signed an executive order to combat discrimination at a “Pride celebration” in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday. A large digital rainbow flag was on display. The event was attended by a roomful of LGBTQ activists, along with First lady Jill Biden, Vice President Harris, Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff, Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg, and Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, a transgender. Continue reading
