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

Hundreds of U.S. Truckers Kick Off ‘People’s Convoy’ in California Demanding an End to the COVID National Emergency

So we’re looking for restoration of our liberty and freedoms…our civil liberties, our freedoms as Americans as part of this and then ultimately it’s ending that emergency powers authorization that is in there…If we get that state of emergency ended, then the mandates can go with it. And so that’s what we’re trying.”

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) Inspired by the “Freedom Convoy” in Canada, American truckers have organized their own nationwide “Convoy to DC” in protest of the Biden regime’s authoritarian COVID policies. Continue reading

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Approves Up to 700 National Guard Troops for Trucker Convoy

(Kristina Wong – Breitbart) Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has authorized an order to mobilize as many as 700 National Guard members ahead of an upcoming trucker convoy to the nation’s capital.

The National Guard said in a press statement that Austin approved requests from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) for National Guard assistance with traffic control during “First Amendment demonstrations expected in the city in the coming days.” Continue reading

Biden’s moment of infamy: hollow pledges on the eve of Russia’s attack on Ukraine

(John Solomon – Just the News) Each American president is judged by his command in moments of crisis. For Lincoln, it was  the address at Gettysburg. Roosevelt made his mark after Pearl Harbor. Kennedy endured the Cuban missile crisis. And George W. Bush rallied a stunned nation from a smoldering pile at Ground Zero.

While much history remains to be written for Joe Biden’s presidency, the start of Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine may be defined years from now by extraordinary moments of infamy…. Continue reading

Trudeau Revokes Emergencies Act

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revoked his use of the Emergencies Act, the quirk in Canadian law that allowed his cabinet to have the power to freeze the bank accounts of Freedom Convoy protesters and use tyrannical police power to break up the vaccine freedom protest.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said that the unfreezing of bank accounts has already begun.

The move came ahead of the upcoming Senate vote on extending the power of the Emergencies Act for 30 days (or longer). Continue reading

Does the Church Need LGBTQ People?

(Protestia) Co-founder of pro-LGBTQ Revoice conference, author, and false teacher Preston Sprinkle wants you to know that your church needs the advice of the world. By world, he specifically means individuals who are unregenerate and given over to a debased mind to the extent that they openly embrace sexual deviancy.

In a speech titled “Why The Church Needs LGBTQ People” that Sprinkle gave for the Revoice conference and reproduced for episode #920 of his Theology in the Raw Podcast, Sprinkle describes the otherworldly anti-Biblical concept of allowing sodomites and transexual folk to disciple the church, enlightening the body of Christ with what could only be described as homo-gnosticism (an idea that closely parallels the ethnic-gnosticism that is advocated by proponents of Critical Race Theory). Continue reading

65.7% of Dems Support Trudeau’s Tyrannical Response to Truckers

Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich denied bail by judge who ran as a Liberal candidate.

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Democrats support tyranny or they are ill-informed based on the latest polling results from The Trafalgar Group. Nearly 66% of Democrats support Trudeau’s tyrannical response to truckers peacefully protesting.

This poll isn’t an outlier. Democrats have been leaning hard left in the last few polls, even a recent Gallup poll. Continue reading

The Gathering Storm in the West

“We can almost reduce the divide to the embarrassing optics of a pouty-face pajama-boy prime minister, with a pompadour coiffure, issuing threats to calm, but beefy and calloused workers. Each time Trudeau speaks to his nation, the visual message is that any of the truckers could do a better job than he in both setting and explaining policy, while he would become a helpless weeping child if placed behind the wheel of a big rig.” 

(Victor Davis  Hanson – American Greatness) Canada is now governed by absurdism, and it is symptomatic of an ailing Western elite.

Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week invoked martial law to arrest and financially destroy truckers on the charge that their largely peaceful protests are “dismantling the Canadian economy” that had already been dismantled for two years under some of the most draconian lockdowns in the world…. Continue reading

CHILLING: The American Bar Association Just Mandated ‘Wokeness’

“In front of our very eyes, we are watching another pillar of civic life become another interchangeable cog of the ideology that treats “racism” as America’s chief concern and ordinary white, Christian, heritage Americans as the country’s greatest villains.”

(Revolver News) Anybody hoping to become a lawyer in the United States will now have to meekly submit to several rounds of political propaganda, thanks to a new decree from the American Bar Association. Continue reading

Words as Weapons: Why We Must Stand Our Ground Over Pronouns

“Words are everything. Words shape how we understand and perceive reality. Trans activists trying to transform our society understand that, and we should too. “Pronoun courtesy” is nothing more than a public surrender to a poisonous ideology—and that is precisely how it looks to those demanding our verbal submission.” 

(Jonathan Van Maren – European Conservative) In the autumn of 2016, trans activists targeted Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, at the time a relatively obscure psychologist based at the University of Toronto. Peterson had released a video explaining why he opposed proposed Canadian legislation, Bill C-16, an amendment to the Canadian Human Rights Act regulating speech regarding gender identity….

Christians in Canada, you no longer owe submission to your government

“If government stops fulfilling its function and becomes an oppressor of the people, then as Rev. West rightly explains, it ceases being God’s servant and becomes a pest. It is the duty of the people to resist such pests to the commonwealth.”

(Capstone Report) Kings and their governments are created for the benefit of the people and not people for the benefit of their rulers. Or, to put it into the exact words of the author of Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos, “Kings were instituted on account of the people. You cannot say that all men together as a whole [universi*] were created for the sake of more or less a hundred simple men.” Continue reading
