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….

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….

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

Funeral Directors and Embalmers Alarmed By Freakishly Large Blood Clots Clogging Veins in Vaccinated Bodies

“Hirschman…shared photos and videos of the strange fibrous clots that were extracted from people who reportedly died of heart attacks, strokes, and aneurysms.”

(Deborah Heine – American Greatness) Board-certified funeral directors and embalmers are coming forward to tell tales of horror featuring vaccinated bodies with veins and arteries clogged with strange, rubbery, worm-like clots. Continue reading

The Fall of Canada, The Danger in the U.S.

Justin Trudeau may well be guilty of an act of treason, which is defined in Canadian law as preparing to levy war against Canada, which is what I personally see in the Ottawa livestreams; and treason in Canadian law is also defined in other broad ways, including this: “(a) uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province.”

(Naomi Wolf – Frontpage Magazine) The world has watched, in pain, as images of police violence from Ottawa, and of a bid for Canadian tyranny (that I would ever write those words!) are flashed around the world. Continue reading

CDC Officials Admit Agency Has Withheld Critical Covid Information From the Public, Including Data About Breakthrough Infections, Over Fears of ‘Vaccine Hesitancy’

(Julian Conradson – Gateway Pundit) Throughout the pandemic, the CDC has diligently maintained a running tally of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths for the public to view – you know, all of the numbers that make up the majority of virus fear porn.

But that information amounts to just a fraction of the data that has been collected by the agency. According to a new report by the New York Times, the CDC has also been collecting much more detailed data about Covid infections that breaks down by age, race, and vaccination status….

JD Hall, pastor and publisher of popular conservative site ‘Protestia’ sued for libel by transgender lobbyist

Transgender lobbyist Adrian Jawort – Facebook photo

Salty language warning.

The thing that has saddened Pastor Hall the most…is the number of conservative Christian pastors who have shied away from publicly supporting him. It’s not that they think he’s wrong. They privately admit that they are “afraid” of the LGBT movement and the power of the state. As one pastor told him, “I just can’t have them picketing my church.”

(Mass Resistance) A conservative pastor who is the publisher of Montana’s largest and most influential conservative news site is being sued for “libel” by a bizarre transgender lobbyist. The leftist judge assigned to the case is also threatening the pastor with fines and a gag order even before the trial takes place. Continue reading

Requiem for a Nation

“Perhaps one day the country may recover democratic governance. Perhaps one day the Charter of Rights and Freedoms will once again become an honored and effective document, though at present it is nothing but an irrelevant scrap of parchment.” 

(David Solway – PJ Media) It may seem hard to believe that America’s neighbor to the north is now a full-fledged, up-and-running police state. Heavily-armed police are arresting and, in some cases, roughing up, severely beating, and trampling with horses members of the truckers’ Freedom Convoy in Ottawa as well as bystanders. The country has gone off the rails. Continue reading
