Family of Ravi Zacharias Uses Old Image of Disgraced Apologist to Promote New Humanitarian Org

Some people question the appropriateness of the post, especially because Zacharias allegedly demanded sexual favors of spa workers. “He put the women he abused into slavery to his sinful actions. Feeling the hypocrisy.”

(Stephanie Martin – ChurchLeaders) In February 2020, three months before apologist Ravi Zacharias  died from cancer at age 74, a post on his Facebook account urged Christians to help end slavery and rescue the 40 million people trapped in it worldwide. Continue reading

Though Lacking Magic, J.K. Rowling Tries to Split the Baby on ‘Transgenderism’

“The point at issue here is as important as it is poorly understood. While the average person regards “gender” as synonymous with “sex,” social scientists and the MUSS lobby generally define the terms very differently. “Sex” is just what you’d assume it is: the biological quality of being male or female.”

(Selwyn Duke – The New American) While Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling specializes in fiction, she has learned the hard way that disputing fashionable fiction posing as reality can be costly — even when you’re willing to accept half the tall tale. Continue reading

The Truths We Dared Not Speak in 2021

“Those Americans, who claimed moral superiority for their masks and three shots—and still got COVID—cannot decide whether they were lied to by Donald Trump, lied to by Joe Biden—or simply lied to themselves…. Those Americans who praised defunding the police and excused looting, arson, and violence are pondering whether it is better to renounce their idiocy, or to stay quiet and take one more carjacking, one more assault, or one more break-in—for the cause.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) As the long year of 2021 finally came to a close, there were a number of truths Americans on the Left found themselves privately acknowledging but unable to say in public for fear of doing damage to their political cause, their own reputations, or their sense of security. But as 2022 advances, it will become even more difficult to hide these truths. Continue reading

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez filmed maskless at packed Florida bar

“AOC has faced criticism for vacationing in Florida while New York faces a record surge in COVID-19.”

(Jon Brown – Fox News)  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was recorded without a mask in a densely packed bar in Miami, according to footage that emerged Sunday.

The large crowd at the drag bar, most of whom were also without a mask, applauded the congresswoman as she waved to them, as first reported by Florida’s Conservative Voice. Continue reading

John MacArthur Urges Pastors To Join Him By Taking A Stand On Biblical Sexual Morality On January 16

Pastor John MacArthur has written an open letter urging all pastors to join him in preaching against sexual immorality on January 16 to protest Canada’s new law that declares In the Preamble of Bill C-4 the belief that:

“heterosexuality, cisgender gender identity and gender expression that conforms to the sex assigned to a person at birth are to be preferred over other sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions” is a “myth.” According to Canadian law, as of January 8, 2022, the belief in God’s design for marriage and sexuality will now be seen as a myth.

Is a Pushback Against Soft Despotism Coming in 2022?

Like children, too many citizens have accepted these encroachments, willingly ceding their autonomy and freedom to overseers who bribe them with the redistribution of other people’s money, and with promises “alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate” from the cradle to the grave ––what we call “entitlements” but think are unalienable rights.

(Bruce Thornton – Frontpage Mag) Over the last two years, many of us have been surprised and troubled at how eagerly millions of citizens have surrendered their freedoms to the shifting, contradictory, nakedly politicized diktats of various “experts” and government agencies. Coerced vaccinations, boosters, masks, and social distancing continue to be mandated and just as eagerly obeyed, even in the case of the mild Omicron covid variant….

Trans Activists Admit They’ve Lost the Debate, Urge Stealth Tactics

“The advocates’ messaging guide admits the public rejects their demands, even when the advocates hide the scientific evidence of human heterosexuality and the multiplying reports of medical damage, professional corruption, personal traumas, manipulative grooming, and social rejection.” 

(Neil Munro – Breitbart) Advocates for the transgender ideology are admitting they cannot persuade their own progressive allies, or even “persuadable” swing voters, to back their revolutionary goal of suppressing Americans’ recognition of sex differences. Continue reading

Break Your Chinese Shopping Habit for 2022: Here’s How

(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) I don’t think I need to tell anyone who reads PJ Media that China is the United States’ greatest existential threat and geopolitical enemy. They steal our intellectual property. They hack us and spy on us. They trade and form military alliances with our enemies. They colonize, buy, and assimilate territory all over the world at a frightening rate. And they’ve infiltrated the U.S. to a shocking degree already, evidenced by our increasingly authoritarian government-global corporation complex. Continue reading

CNN’s Latest Pedo Scandal Is a Symptom of Left-Wing Derangement

“Whether it is dinner at French Laundry or an attempt to defile little girls, as long as the Left mouths the right words, it can do whatever it wants. It is why the Left can call the destruction of black neighborhoods a peaceful demonstration and why court jesters like Brian Stelter can ask us with a straight face to care about a Garter snake at his farmhouse while people sleep on the streets.” 

(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) In a recent interview with the Babylon Bee, Elon Musk stated that he was not perverted enough to be on CNN. Truer words have probably been spoken in the history of the world, but not in this news cycle. Continue reading

New Bombshell Myocarditis Study Out Of UK Reveals Sobering Effects Of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

“Public health policy in the USA and UK need to change fast. As a side note, if you listen to the mainstream media enough they’ll have you believing myocarditis is a mild symptom.” 

(James Cintolo) On December 14th, 2021 Nature Medicine released a study based on a broad population data set analyzed by researchers at Oxford examining the risks of myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias associated with COVID-19 vaccination and infection1. Interestingly, the literature revealed some eye opening information about myocarditis that will be discussed in this publication. Having said that, today you will learn 3 things: Continue reading

Perry Stone Says Some Arabs Translated a Voice File of the Holy Spirit Warning Him About Discernment Ministries, LOL!

[Stone] says he sent an audio recording of the Holy Spirit to some unnamed Arabs who translated the audio as a warning about discernment ministries… 

(Reformation Charlotte) Perry Stone, a charismatic blowhard televangelist who recently made headlines after a woman shouted during a sermon that he was a “nasty perv” who kept touching the women that worked for him in his ministry. According to Protestia, a sister ministry to Reformation Charlotte, Stone admitted that he had “acted inappropriately” with women after taking a sabbatical in 2020. Continue reading

The Year of Living Unreasonably

(Ben Shapiro – PJ Media) In 2020, Americans learned that if emergency dictated, we could lock down, mask up, and blow out spending to temporarily stymie the impact of a global pandemic. We learned that if uncertainty required massive response, we could mobilize massive response, including the creation of new vaccines within one year.

And in 2021, Americans learned that it’s easier to flip the switch on toward top-down control and government dependency than to turn it back off. Continue reading

Elites Are Destroying America with Globalism, Leftism, and Tribalism

“If you look at upward mobility among Latinos, and Asians, and African-Americans, it’s going up, So they thought, ‘We’re going to lose the victim vote. There’s not going to be a victim vote,’ and there are 17 ethnic minorities that make more per capita than so-called white people…so they came up with the idea of diversity.”

(Robert Kraychik – Breitbart) Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow sat down with historian and professor Victor Davis Hanson at the latter’s home in Selma, CA, for a wide-ranging interview examining how America is being undermined by a modern globalist aristocracy…. Continue reading

The Biden Administration’s Truly Ominous Christmas Wish List for America

“The Biden administration is so committed to its draconian, authoritarian, and hysterical COVID policies that it is staking its credibility upon the lives of Americans. This is nothing less than monstrous; in a sane political culture, there would be insistent calls for Biden’s resignation now, and impeachment proceedings would begin.”

(Robert Spencer) As PJ Media’s A.J. Kaufman has noted, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients had a stark message for the American people during a Friday White House press briefing: “We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this. For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.” Continue reading

China Planning the Ultimate Genocide; Biden Responding with Empty Words

(Gordon G. Chang – Gatestone Institute) Chang begins his piece with several bullet points. Scroll down a bit to read the article:

President Joe Biden on December 15 “smirked and walked away” when a reporter wanted to know why he has not asked Beijing “to do more to be transparent on the origins” of COVID-19.

China’s coronavirus has now killed more than 806,400 Americans, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. Continue reading

These Stores Are Closing Due To Looting And Lost Profits

(Mailread Eldori – Daily Wire) As looting continues and lockdowns return, many retail companies have announced recently that they are shuttering some locations that have become simply too expensive to maintain.

Major cities have been hit by a wave of “smash-and-grab” robberies, where organized groups of looters attack store employees and escape with thousands of dollars in merchandise. Organized retail theft now costs retailers across the country a grand total of about $65 billion per year. Continue reading

Israel could be completely unprotected against COVID-19 in a month’

“A graph presented by the Weizmann Prof. Ron Milo showed that the Pfizer vaccines began to wane after only three months for both the second and third doses.”

(Maayan Jaffee-Hoffman – Jerusalem Post) Israel’s Pandemic Response Team was warned last Tuesday night that Israel could go from being reasonably protected against Omicron to not being protected at all within just a month. Continue reading

TGC’s ‘Best Movies of 2021’ Include Abortion and Sex Propaganda, Children Smoking Pot, and R-Rated Blasphemy

“Apparently, we have to turn to the foul-mouthed graphic sex-filled pagan entertainment industry to get our theology.”

(Reformation Charlotte) It should go without saying that The Gospel Coalition (TGC) has absolutely nothing to do with the gospel or any other biblical teaching or exhortation. The Gospel Coalition is nothing more than an outlet for the carnal consumption of worldly influence into the Church by compromised Evangelicals who are bound together by their propensity toward embracing the culture. It is, in fact, The Gospel-less Coalition. Continue reading

It’s Good to Be Oppressed: Race Huckster Ibram X. Kendi Gets Paid $207 Per Minute for University Lecture

“He has a product for which American academia, as well as the American business community, is eager to pay. It is a rancid, hateful, divisive, and mendacious product, but in paying big money for it, institutions such as UWM are just as responsible for its spread as Kendi is for offering it.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) The leading intellectual light behind the Critical Race Theory that has already severely damaged racial harmony in the United States and is corroding American society itself, Ibram X. Kendi, has discovered the fundamental truth of our absurd age: Continue reading

Experts Warn Pfizer Antiviral Pills May Pose Risks With Other Medications

(Brian Freeman – Newsmax) Experts warn that despite the first antiviral pills for COVID-19 promising protection for those at risk of severe disease, Pfizer’s or Merck’s new medications may not be safe for everyone, NBC News reported over the weekend.

One of the two drugs in Pfizer’s Paxlovid antiviral cocktail could cause severe or life-threatening interactions with commonly used medications, including statins, blood thinners and some antidepressants, and the FDA does not recommend Paxlovid for those with severe kidney or liver disease.
