Biden administration endorses transgender youth sex-change operations, ‘top surgery,’ hormone therapy

Father injects his transgender child with hormones.

(Timothy Nerozzi – Fox News) President Biden’s administration has released a series of documents encouraging gender-reassignment surgery and hormone treatments for minors.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs released a document Thursday titled “Gender Affirming Care and Young People.” The same day, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Child Traumatic Stress Network – another subset of the HHS – released a parallel document titled, “Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care.” Continue reading

Research: Homosexuality – LGBTQ Issues

1 Cor 6:9-11 tells us there is no such thing as a homosexual Christian. But the Good News is that Christ’s shed blood covers all sin. Unfortunately, the homosexual agenda’s strategy is to make churches either silent and powerless to speak Truth, or to get them on board as “gay affirming.” The Homosexual Agenda at its core is a self-centered set of beliefs and objectives designed to promote and even mandate approval of homosexuality and homosexual ideology, along with the strategies used to implement such. The goals and means of this movement include indoctrinating students in public school, restricting the free speech of opposition, obtaining special treatment for homosexuals, distorting Biblical teaching and science, and interfering with freedom of association. Advocates of the homosexual agenda seek special rights for homosexuals that other people don’t have, such as immunity from criticism (see hate speechhate crimes). Such special rights will necessarily come at the expense of the rights of broader society. The homosexual agenda is the biggest threat to the right of free speech today. (Source) Strategies: A step-by-step approach of the homosexual agenda:

  • legalize homosexuality
  • promote gay pride parades
  • demand non-discrimination laws
  • insist on homosexuals’ adoption of children
  • push the homosexual agenda in schools
  • force “gay marriage” on society
  • demand public funding to deal with increased homosexual-related social problems
  • promote the transgender agenda
  • impose a large-scale loss of free speech
  • ban counseling for kids confused by homosexual issues
  • attack churches

Quotes from After the Ball, outlining strategies of the homosexual agenda (Source):

  • Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible. (They use late night air waves and special channels, as well as their right to peacefully assemble to do so.)
  • Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers.
  • Give homosexual protectors a just cause.
  • Make gays look good.
  • Make Christians look like victimizers
  • Get funds from corporate America.

Phrases, Practices and Terms:

  • Rainbow symbol adopted by homosexuals
  • LQBT (Lesbian Queer Bisexual Transgender)
  • Gay pride
  • Gay rights
  • Those who oppose homosexuality are labeled homophobes, hatemongers, bigots
  • “Zapping” of anyone who rebuffs homosexuality

Revoice Conference:

“This conference illustrates just how cleverly deceptive this [Revoice] movement really is, as they manipulate the audience emotionally with heart-wrenching testimonies between each and every session by “homosexual Christians” who have “decided” to be celibate for Christ, for which they surely deserve all the glory and applause!” (Source)

Robert Gagnon addresses his concerns with the Revoice Conference and those who align with the “Spiritual Friendship” program here.  An excerpt from Gagnon’s essay:

The adoption of terminology for self-identity that cannot be sanctified and inevitably brings in the whole “LGBTQ” baggage (“sexual minority,” “gay,” “transgender”). This terminology is normally associated with self-affirmation rather than sin and switches the obligation of the church from a call for repentance and restoration to a call for inclusion and diversity that celebrates what should be mortified. The fact that evangelical proponents of the “sexual minority” language are unwilling to use it of those with a pedophilic or polyamorist orientation should tell us all something. (Source)

“Gay (same-sex attracted) Christian” leaders: 

  • Sam Allberry (an apologist and writer for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, and a consulting editor for The Gospel Coalition. Allberry promoted the Revoice Conference. Bible Thumping Wingnut podcast has a program on him here — the discussion begins at 14:00)
  • Greg Coles
  • Nate Collins (Revoice founder. The stated goals of the Revoice conference include, “Supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.” The conference’s main theme: Homosexuals who don’t commit physical acts are free to keep their LGBTQ+ identity.)

What the Bible says about homosexuality:

  • For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. (Rom 1:1-28)
  •  Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.  And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor 6:9-11)
  • Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,  for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Cor 6:18-20)

Ok, Groomers. Leaked Internal Zoom Confirms Disney Drank the Gender Cult Kool-Aid

(Megan Fox – PJ Media) There has been a massive overreaction by members of the LGBTQWTF Gendergeddon cult and their woke corporate partners over the new Florida law that prohibits creepy adults from talking to little kids about sex. Instead of realizing that most parents don’t think that adults who aren’t related to their kids should be talking to them about explicit topics and hiding those conversations from parents, the woke cult is having temper tantrums. One tantrum happened when Disney called an internal meeting to soothe gay employees’ hysterics. During the meeting, high-ranking Disney employees assured the staff that they would be queering the [heck] out of Disney content from now on. Continue reading

Flu shot scam

“Instead of asking if the reason people didn’t want to get jabbed was that the shots manifestly DID NOT WORK, the authorities simply looked for ways to encourage or force people to take them. By 2010, research on “vaccine hesitancy” and “compliance” began to accelerate.”

(Alex Berenson) We increased flu shots over 15-fold between 1980 and 2020. You’ll never BELIEVE what happened next!

This chart is real, straight from the Centers for Disease Control. And it’s spectacular:

Scoop: FEC fines DNC and Clinton for Trump dossier hoax

This may well be the first time that Hillary Clinton — one of the most evidently corrupt politicians in American history — has actually been held legally accountable, and I’m proud to have forced the FEC to do their job for once. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation proved that with pluck and grit, Americans who stand with integrity can stand up to the Clinton machine and other corrupt political elites.”

(Paul Bedard – Washington Examiner) The Federal Election Commission has fined the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the infamous, and discredited, Russian “dossier” used in a smear attempt against Donald Trump weeks before he shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory.

‘Spirit Birthing’ a Demon. Is This The Wildest Charismatic Manifestation Ever? Stolen Babies, Midwife Angels, Golden Parachutes and Labor Noises

(Protestia) Charismatics are a different breed, aren’t they? Here’s a video from a Battle for Canada Event: “What was, what is, and what is to come” – 2 years later.” Art Lucier presided over the night of prophetic intercession. Lucier previously issued prophecies in 2019 and in early 2020 revealing that because Jesus and his disciples caught 153 fish, there was a supernatural tie to Canada’s 153rd birthday, which was to take place in the summer of 2020, and so this momentous day would be preceded by a series of national gatherings leading up to Canada Day. Then the pandemic hit, and it was a crime in most of Canada to even go outside unless it was for work, or to sit on the grass for any reason, making Lucier a false prophet. Continue reading

Why Did so Many Fall for the Covid Narrative?

“…governments worldwide….have joined with international bodies and large financial interests to produce harmonized propaganda through a wide variety of media outlets, including Big Tech, social media, and mainstream media. We have entered a new era of total thought control exerted on a global scale, often referred to as psychological operations, or psy-ops.”

(Robert Malone – The New American) Propagandists, governments, and the World Economic Forum (WEF) are using mass-formation psychology to sway large groups of people to act for the benefit of the propagandists’ objectives. Although a major crisis — war, hyperinflation, or a public-health emergency, for example — can be extremely useful to a propagandist, these psychological tactics can be applied even without strong evidence of a crisis; the leader just has to be compelling enough.

The Gospel Coalition Author Implies Jesus Knows What It’s Like to Be a Homosexual

“The lengths these people go to to try to justify their homosexuality are simply astonishing at times. This isn’t to say that a homosexual can’t come to Christ and still struggle with their desires. However, teaching that Jesus understands because He too struggled with similar desires is quite blasphemous.”

(Reformation Charlotte) You’ve probably heard of the “gay Christian” ministry called Living Out. Living Out has been in partnership with the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) as well as The Gospel Coalition (TGC) and the late [disgraced] Ravi Zacharias’ International Ministry (RZIM)….

Shut Up, Mickey: Disney Vows to Fight DeSantis in Court While a Fourth-Grade Teacher Is Arrested for Attempted Child Rape

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) We interrupt the wall-to-wall national coverage of the outbreak of violence at this week’s Annual Narcissists’ Convention to bring you other entertainment news. According to The Mix, the Walt Disney Company announced this week that it would do everything it can to have Florida’s HB 1557 either repealed or struck down in court. Darth Mickey issued the threat via Twitter:

“Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay Bill’ should never have passed and should never have been signed into law. Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that. We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney Family as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.” Continue reading

Ron DeSantis Slams Leftists Lying About the Parental Rights Bill: ‘They Support Sexualizing Kids in Kindergarten’

“I don’t care what corporate media outlets say. I don’t care what Hollywood says. I don’t care what big corporations say. Here I stand. I’m not backing down.” 

(Hannah Bleau – Breitbart) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday made it clear many leftists and activists are lying and “sloganeering” on the Parental Rights in Education act because they “don’t want to admit that they support a lot of the things we’re providing protections against.” Continue reading

Media Blackout: It Has Been 259 Days Since Network Newscasts Have Mentioned The Words ‘Hunter Biden’

“As Ron Johnson argues, the network news programs are simply propaganda wings of the Democratic Party.”

(Harris Rigby – Not the Bee) In the last month, the not-so-shocking verification that Hunter Biden’s laptop is real has come to light thanks to The New York Times, but if you’re one of the millions of Americans that gets your news from an evening newscast, you would never know this was a story.

TV’s ‘The Chosen’ Director Dallas Jenkins Doubles Down on Controversial Mormon Comments, Straight up Lies

“Even if he wasn’t explicitly referring to the LDS community, which he was, unless his Mormon friends repudiate everything they believe about Jesus, then he is still wrong that his Mormon friends and partners believe in the same Jesus.” 

(Protestia) Dallas Jenkins, son of “Left Behind” author Jerry Jenkins, and Director of the smash-hit TV show The Chosen continued to double down on controversial comments he made last year about Mormons (Latter Day Saints, ie LDS) and Jesus loving the same Jesus, appearing on Ruslan KD’s channel and again insisting that some of his Mormon friends indeed love the same Jesus as he does, while engaging in a bit of revisionist history over what he actually did say.

6 Justices Give Biden Absolute Vax Power Over Religious Navy SEALs

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, and Chief Justice Roberts sided with the far-left Justices to fire unvaccinated Navy SEALs who filed religious exemptions. The military hadn’t exempted one person at the time the lawsuit was filed. This is despite the fact that the vaccines don’t protect anyone from getting COV or spreading it. Also, at the present time, Omicron is a cold.

So glad we fought for him so he could vote with the people who orchestrated attacks against him. Continue reading

The Sheer Madness of Today’s Left

“These contradictions that lead to insanity enrage Americans. They believe the fiascos of 2021-2022 were almost a case study how to destroy a great nation economically, materially, culturally, socially, politically, and militarily in just 14 months.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) “Madness! Madness . . . madness!” — The Bridge on the River Kwai

With that exclamation, director David Lean ended his epic film about a dutiful but vainglorious British officer who sought to display to his Japanese captors superior British discipline and morale in a prisoner of war camp. As proof of British engineering superiority, he pursues his agendas by ordering his POWs to build for their Japanese captors a strategic bridge that otherwise they could not have built—only to try to destroy the efforts of fellow Allied soldiers sent to blow-up his masterpiece. For the delusional ideologue, reality must never intrude. Continue reading

More Details on the Pastor Hillsong Promoted After He Was Caught in Adulterous Sex Scandal

“Senior leadership at Hillsong knew and did not care, and that is why it is an inevitability that more stories will come to light about similar behavior. They spent a decade covering them up, which means more will only come into the light.”

(Protestia) Hillsong is a mess in part because they don’t view most sex scandals as particularly bothersome- a perspective shared by many within the pentecostal and charismatic movement who have historically demonstrated high levels of tolerance for sinful and scummy behavior…. Continue reading

Lesbians and Homosexuals to Train Leaders at AWANA ‘Child Discipleship’ Conference

“It is clear the direction the ministry is moving—the same direction that the rest of mainstream Evangelicalism is going. Ultimately, this is going to have an effect from the top down and it will make its way into your church if it is not stopped.”

(Reformation Charlotte) AWANA is a program used by many Evangelical churches as a tool to train children in various areas of discipleship, primarily, Scripture memorization. While churches use the program in varying degrees—ranging from nothing more than practicing and reciting Scripture to using the full curriculum—it should be noted that the direction the ministry is going is troubling, to say the least.

House GOP pushes Wray for transparency on FBI misconduct in probing politicians, religious groups, journalists

“The audit says officials violated FBI policies in failing to receive approval from supervisors and attorneys before opening a sensitive investigation and also did not notify the appropriate United States Attorney’s Office in writing within a month of starting the probes, as required.”  

(Fred Lucas – Fox News) Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., contends Democrats have a stake in digging for more details about the FBI breaking its own rules to probe elected officials, political candidates, religious organizations and the news media. Continue reading

The Global Gender Mapping Project is an educational resource for anyone who has been affected by the gender industry, we offer no apologies for our dedication to abolishing the gender industry. We are dedicated to delivering the truth about what is happening to children and youth by documenting the hard numbers on how many gender clinics, how many surgical clinics, and recording evidence where necessary….

John MacArthur Rebukes Church Hosting Ligonier National Conference

“…why didn’t Ligonier take a stand against FBO as well? While MacArthur withdrew, for whatever reasons those were, many prominent speakers remain such as Steven Lawson, Sinclair Ferguson, Robert Godfrey, Stephen Nichols, Burk Parsons, Derek Thomas, and Michael Reeves, amongst others. These men are wonderful brothers in the faith, many having decades long faithful ministries that have benefited an untold amount of believers.”

(Brad Schoolfield) Recently, news broke that Ligonier Ministries scheduled their 2022 National Conference at First Baptist Orlando, which concludes this weekend. This was alarming due to the recently exposed heretical teachings espoused by First Baptist…. Continue reading

Klaus Schwab Sees Everyone Microchipped in Next 10 Years

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) When Klaus Schwab, the leader of the World Economic Forum and The Great Reset, talks about fusing the physical, digital, and biological world, he is also talking about microchipping everyone. First, microchips will be implanted in our clothes and eventually, our brains or skin.

Certainly, in the next ten years, everyone will be implanted with chips, he says. It will enable direct communication between our brain and the digital world. Continue reading

University Caught Storing Bags of Aborted Babies and Aborted Baby Parts

“The American people must be made aware of the mass dehumanization of these unborn children who are violently killed and thrown into a freezer, whose body parts are then portioned out to researchers in pursuit of federal funding.”

Gay CRU Leader, Turned Catholic, Explains How Tim Keller Helped Him Shape His Pro-LGBTQ Views

“Tim Keller’s views are toxic and spiritually poisonous and have only served to muddy the waters on cultural issues in the Church.”

(Reformation Charlotte) In 2019, Reformation Charlotte broke the story that a Campus Crusade (CRU) leader — who identifies as “LGBTQ” was teaching students that the Scriptures do not teach that homosexuality is sinful. Quoting a lesbian TGC author, Rachel Gilson, Grant Hartley tweeted the following: Continue reading

Hunter Biden’s Firm and DoD Funded Ukraine BioLabs

“RSTP also includes Metabiota in its portfolio. Hunter sits on the board and it’s tied to Anthony Fauci of NIAID and the notorious Wuhan laboratory.”

U.S. Army surgeon in tears: Top brass ordered silence on vaccine injuries

“Up to 80% of military personnel have contracted COVID-19 despite having had two shots. However, he said, among the unvaccinated, the infection rate was 15%.”
