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

More Bad News for the Mask Cult

Diver removing discarded masks from a Philippines reef.

“The study theorized that the so-called “Foegen effect,” whereby hypercondensed droplets caught by masks are re-inhaled and introduced deeper into the respiratory tract, could be responsible for the increased Covid mortality rate.”

(Scott Morefield – Brownstone Institute) Unless you’re visiting a medical facility still taken in by the mask-cult or you live in a big city or some obscure California county run by hypochondriac Democrats, you’re probably generally living your life without being forced to wear a useless, bacteria-laden piece of t-shirt material over your face. Continue reading

Tom Ascol urges conservatives to think carefully about future in SBC

“We debated 45 minutes yesterday what a pastor is,” Ascol said. “We can’t really define what a pastor is. That is crazy talk for people who say they believe the Bible.”

(Capstone Report) Conservative Southern Baptist leader Tom Ascol told Jenna Ellis that the SBC is on an “unhealthy path” with many theological issues that must be addressed or the SBC will head into a “dangerous” area. Ascol was the standard bearer for conservative Southern Baptists in the recent presidential election. Ascol fell to the Woke choice Bart Barber just as last year Mike Stone fell to Woke choice Ed Litton. Naturally, some Southern Baptist pastors and members are fed up with the Woke control and are now pondering leaving the SBC. Continue reading

The Left Owns Too Much Cultural Ground Without The Few Conservative Harbors Like Fox News Giving It Away

“Those who greenlighted a transgender-accolades segment should be called to account and probably fired. Otherwise, honest employees and contributors should resign — and Americans will stop watching.”

(Kylee Zempel – The Federalist) The right has come to expect transgender accolades in the corporate media, with networks such as CNN and MSNBC perpetually promoting that left-wing ideology. But conservative viewers were stunned on Friday to see that radical narrative being pushed by the only major cable network still sympathetic to their views: Fox News. Continue reading

Rick Warren Rebukes the SBC for Daring to Remove his Church over Ordaining Women

Watch the video. Check out the tweets.

(Protestia) Rick Warren made a surprise appearance and the SBC 2022 convention and spoke for several minutes, uninterrupted, using his time to list all his accomplishments as the largest Southern Baptist church in the world in order to stave off criticism over ordaining women pastors while telling attendees that they need to stop “bickering over secondary issues” like what gender the pastor is, and instead focus on the Great Commission. Continue reading

Disney’s ‘Toy Story’ spinoff banned in 14 countries over same-sex kiss

(Madeline Hubbard – Just the News) Disney will be unable to show “Lightyear,” the latest Pixar movie in the “Toy Story” franchise, in at least 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries due to homosexual content in the film, Reuters reported.

The Disney movie’s future is still uncertain in China, the largest global movie market.

A “Lightyear” producer told the outlet that Chinese officials asked for cuts to the film, but Disney declined. The producer said she assumed the movie would not open there either. Continue reading

Study Contradicts Transgender Narrative, Suggests Puberty Blockers Spike Youth Suicide

(Catherine Hamilton – Breitbart) Making puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones easier for minors to access has increased youth suicide rates, a new report from the Heritage Foundation asserts. 

The report directly challenges claims from pro-transgender clinical organizations, activists, and the Biden administration that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones reduce suicides of minors who believe they are the opposite sex. Continue reading

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome’: Young, Healthy People Are Mysteriously Dying

(Amanda Prestigiacomo – Daily Wire) Experts and families of healthy, young people who have suddenly died are speaking out about Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, or Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, known more commonly as SADS.

SADS, according to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), “is an umbrella term to describe unexpected deaths in young people (usually 40 years of age), whose cause of death following post mortem examination is ‘undetermined’ or ‘unascertained.’” Continue reading

Karen Swallow Prior Says She Didn’t Come to the Bucks Because He’s a Bully and She’s Afraid of Him

“In an email that was obtained exclusively with Capstone Report and shared with The Dissenter, SEBTS has confirmed that Karen Swallow Prior was the source behind the leak who shared the rough draft with potential publishers.”

(The Dissenter) The Dissenter has written several articles covering the latest scandal in the Southern Baptist Convention involving a number of Southern Baptist establishment members conspiring to blackmail conservative Texas pastor, Tom Buck, because of his outspoken opposition to the liberal drift in the denomination. Continue reading

Feminism Has Weakened Women

“In the true Orwellian spirit of the Left, the overriding claim of feminists that feminism empowers women is the opposite of the truth. Over the past half-century, modern feminism has not strengthened women, but weakened them.”

(Dennis Prager – Townhall) Here’s a joke:

“Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual.”

This joke was retweeted last week by Dave Weigel, a Washington Post reporter.

He retweeted it because he thought it was funny. Continue reading
