Documentary Reveals the Mind of a Pastor Conman

“As Minkow served his first prison sentence, televangelist Benny Hinn wrote his dishonest autobiography Good Morning, Holy Spirit containing the lie, “My father was the mayor of Jaffa during my childhood.” Jim Bakker authored the book I Was Wrong to remake himself as the repentant pastor.”

(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) The three-episode Discovery+ documentary series King of the Con tells the life story Barry Minkow, an infamous conman turned pastor, who subsequently robbed a church of $3 million dollars. The Bible warns of people like Minkow, “As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.” – Proverbs 26:11 NIV Continue reading

The Left Should Be Happy with Biden

“Biden worries little that record numbers of Americans are dying from drugs that now pour across the border. Cartels became richer and more powerful than ever under his watch, while child traffickers were freed from worries.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The Left should be ecstatic that Joe Biden has given them everything they wanted. The Left likes inflation. It reduces the value of old money by printing lots of new money. Those richer who have it, lose the value of their money; those poorer who don’t have any money, suddenly do. Continue reading

615 Midwestern Teachers Reveal Why They’re Really Leaving the Classroom

“It’s beyond incredible that Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers and Becky Pringle of the National Education Association would cite Republicans’ and parents’ “politicization” of the classroom as the reason for the teacher shortage. It’s not even a secondary or tertiary issue—it’s forty-nine times less important to teachers than the behavioral crisis.” 

(Tony Kinnett – ChalkboardReview) Countless education advocates have spent the last few months warning of the approaching teacher shortage—myself included. Voices from the left have warned of every reason from low teacher pay to COVID-19 policy to parents at school board meetings, while closer colleagues of mine in the center and on the right have suggested a behavioral crisis. Continue reading

Unelected WEF Elites Want the Peasants Out of Their Cars

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Winnie Yah, the Lead of Responsible Sourcing for the World Economic Forum, foresees a need for a lot more minerals if we are to get to net zero. To get this clean energy revolution off the ground, she believes the biggest bang comes with terminating or restricting the private ownership of cars.

The WEF agrees that we can recycle or mine minerals, but the route we must take to complete the circular economy is to go from owning to using. It’s not only cars. It’s basically everything. The plan is to design cars and cities around sharing in lieu of ownership. Continue reading

WHO declares monkeypox a global health emergency

“Although I am declaring a public health emergency of international concern, for the moment this is an outbreak that is concentrated among men who have sex with men, especially those with multiple sexual partners.”

(Julia Musto – Fox News) The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that the international monkeypox virus outbreak now constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Continue reading

Southern Baptist Pastor Compares Abortion to Eschatology, Says Southern Baptists Must Accept Different Views

“If the child, through no fault of his own, is not conceived by consent of both parents or by incestual consent, that child has no right to protection. That child is less than human.”

(The Dissenter) Abortion is the taking of innocent unborn life. Abortion is cruel, intolerable, and for the true, born-again believer who understands the value of life given by God Himself, is a repulsive act of rebellion against our Creator. Continue reading

So What — Biden Got COVID

“The biggest lesson to draw here is that COVID is still around two and a half years after it began, though it’s largely a shadow of its original self. Lockdowns, masking, and vaccine mandates were not the way to go in March 2020, as we and too few others said at the time. Those things are definitely not the right policies now, even if some cities, schools, and other institutions bitterly cling to them.”

(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) It’s been another rough week for Joe Biden.

It started with getting raked over the coals by the Leftmedia for fist-bumping the Saudis. Then Democrat mayors started complaining about the influx of illegal aliens into their cities from Biden’s open border…. Continue reading

What the Far Left Really Wants

(Bill O’Reilly) One of the few positive things coming out of the incredible failure of the Biden administration is the decline of the progressive movement in America.

As is documented, Joe Biden campaigned as a moderate but immediately embraced far-left policies after his inauguration. That led to debilitating inflation, massive federal spending, worldwide embarrassment in Afghanistan, a woke culture that has damaged millions of Americans, and a stated presidential mandate to impose ” equity.” Continue reading

Hysterical Red Francis Says, ‘Repent’ ‘Mother Earth…Cries Out’

According to Francis, the ancestral lands of indigenous peoples are invaded and devastated. And it is provoking “a cry that rises up to heaven.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Red Francis says we “must repent and modify our lifestyles” because we abuse Mother Earth. That was his message on Thursday.

As a Roman Catholic, I say respectfully that Red Francis should shut his mouth. He needs to talk about doctrine, not politics. Climate science is fully politicized. Continue reading

‘Wokest Place on Earth’ Disneyland Cuts Walt Disney’s Speech From Its Anniversary Celebration

“Walt Disney was a proud American and something of a conservative who would have hated what his company has become. He testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947, where he warned of communists taking control of Hollywood.”

(Mitch Picasso – PJ Media) The Disneyland Resort turned 67 on Sunday and had the usual bells and whistles to usher in another year, except for one noticeable omission: the Happiest Place on Earth left out its founder’s speech for the first time.

Watch the video on the site. Continue reading

Conservatives and Same-Sex Marriage: Republicans less and less willing to stand for the traditional definition of marriage

Leftists targeted marriage because “they understand that faith and family are the foundational pillars of American Liberty, the nemesis of their statist agenda.”

(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) Marriage: noun, the legal union of a man and a woman. For all of human history — since God created male and female and established marriage in the Garden of Eden — this was the operating definition of marriage, even if the abuse of polygamy sometimes distorted it. Not any more. Continue reading

Majority of voters say president aware of Hunter Biden’s overseas dealings

(Mark Moore – New York Post) The majority of American voters believe President Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s shady overseas business dealings and even profited from them, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

The Rasmussen Reports survey also shows that a whopping 55% of voters are “closely following” reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Continue reading

Jen Hatmaker Says Viewing Jesus as a Male Makes it Difficult for Black, Brown, and LGBT People to Feel Safe Around Him

Read the article, then come back and watch the video below.

(The Dissenter) Jen Hatmaker, who first publicly renounced Christianity in an interview with Jonathan Merritt — a gay activist and son of former Southern Baptist Convention president, James Merritt — and says she first questioned Evangelical Christianity because gay people couldn’t have sex with each other, says that Beth Moore is her “mentor.” Continue reading

Mystery solved: DOJ secretly thwarted release of Russia documents declassified by Trump

“Liz Harrington, Trump’s spokeswoman, told Just the News that DOJ’s failure to release the memos fit a pattern of political abuse inside an agency that is supposed to be above politics”

(John Solomon – Just the News) In the final hours of the Trump presidency, the U.S. Justice Department raised privacy concerns to thwart the release of hundreds of pages of documents that Donald Trump had declassified to expose FBI abuses during the Russia collusion probe, and the agency then defied a subsequent order to release the materials after redactions were made, according to interviews and documents. Continue reading

Yet Another Leftist Is Caught Preying on Children

“As a survivor of this mentality and this kind of behavior, I cordially invite the Left to drop dead in a ditch and wait for the hyenas to show up. I grow weary of the Left mouthing words to prove how sensitive and caring it is while doing whatever it wants to further its agenda or satiate its appetites when it thinks no one is looking.” 

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) You know, you think after a certain amount of time, the Left would have the wherewithal to look closely at its ranks and purge them of the human sewage that swims through their population like the proverbial corn-eyed sewer trout (stercore pisces). But as has been proven time and again, the Left will overlook quite a bit as long as someone is mouthing the right slogans. The sheriff’s deputies in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan? Well, not so much. Continue reading

NYC Monkeypox Cases Double in Five Days — Vaccine Lines Stretch for Blocks

“I want to acknowledge that at this time the demand for vaccines from jurisdictions is higher than our current available supply, and we know that this is frustrating,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said during a briefing on Friday. “We anticipate an increase in cases in the coming weeks.”

(Bob Price – Breitbart) New York City health officials report the number of confirmed monkeypox cases nearly doubled in the last five days. Lines for vaccinations stretch for blocks. Continue reading

Depression ‘is NOT caused by low serotonin levels’: Study casts doubt over widespread use of potent drugs designed to treat chemical imbalance in brain

(Jon Ely – Daily Mail) Low serotonin levels do not cause depression, according to a major review.

Today’s landmark findings call into question society’s ever-growing reliance on antidepressants like Prozac.

Millions of patients take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, designed to boost levels of the ‘feel-good’ chemical. Continue reading

DOJ Declines to Prosecute Colbert Crew Who Wandered Around Capitol After Hours Without an Escort

The Capitol Police are unhappy with the decision to drop the charges, “especially since the Colbert 9 were told on multiple occasions they weren’t supposed to be there.”

(Debra Hein – American Greatness) The Department of Justice on Monday declined to prosecute the “Colbert 9 insurrectionists” after they were arrested for unlawfully roaming around a congressional office building after hours, last month. Federal prosecutors said they cleared the alleged trespassers of wrongdoing because they were “invited by Congressional staffers to enter the building.” Continue reading

The Great RESIST Has Begun

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Climate change activists demonize and unfairly target farmers throughout the Western world. The attacks focus on cattle that produce emissions and crops they don’t like. Governments of the New World Order (The Great Reset) are ramping up legislation to limit farming by destroying a third of all animals. It has spurred The Great Resist.

THE GREAT RESET WILL SOON MEET THE GREAT RESIST

In Norway, the government plans to reduce carbon and nitrogen emissions by eliminating about 30% of agriculture. Continue reading

Why Is Conservative Media Calling a Male Rapist by Feminine Pronouns?

“The only female inmate? Pardon? Is Fox News really pushing the notion that Minor is female? Calling him a woman is bad enough, but using the word “female” is even more insulting.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry when leftists insist that “men get pregnant” or refer to mothers as “birthing people” and otherwise ignore the material reality of biological sex. While we’ve generally understood that this is the latest cause célèbre of the radical left, we don’t really expect conservative media to follow suit. Continue reading

Rosaria Butterfield Retracts Her Former Anti-Conversion Therapy Position, Now Embraces ‘Freedom in Health Care’

“Rosaria Butterfield has issued an official retraction of her previous position and has embraced what she calls “freedom in health care” while acknowledging that reparative therapy can be useful and was not the monster they made it out to be.”

(The Dissenter) Rosaria Butterfield in 2014 wrote an article published at The Gospel Coalition referring to the practice of homosexual “reparative therapy” as a “heresy.” In the article, she wrote: Continue reading

Birx: COVID-19 ‘Came Out Of The Box Ready To Infect’

(Joseph Curl – Daily Wire) Former top White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Deborah Birx says the coronavirus “came out of the box ready to infect.”

There has been much speculation about the origin of the virus that has killed more than 6.3 million people worldwide, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering. The virus emerged in Wuhan, China, with speculation that the virus could have emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where scientists were researching vaccines for other coronaviruses.
