Justice Gorsuch Torches SCOTUS for Rejecting Challenge to NY Vax Mandate for Healthcare Workers

( – The New American) The U.S. Supreme Court just left in place New York’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers that allows for no religious exemptions.

On Monday, the nation’s highest court rejected, by a 6-3 vote, a request by 20 anonymous doctors and nurses, nearly all of whom are Catholic, to grant an injunction against the arguably unlawful mandate. Only Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch voted to grant the injunction…. Continue reading

Cracked Icons: The corrupt and mediocre heroes of the Left are imploding

“The Biden candidacy was one of the most cynical in American history. The unhinged far-Left adopted a befuddled Biden as the respectable veneer necessary to see their hard-core, but stealth socialist agenda finally enacted. Key to a virtual presidency would be virtual voting, as 102 million mail-in and early votes were never subject to the previous standards of authentication and statistical rejection rates of the past—rendering Election Day voting mostly a memory.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) With fits and starts, we are slowly returning to reality after four years of mass hysteria. Our media-deified, progressive icons are finally being exposed as the deceivers they always were. Continue reading

Australian man visited a plant nursery last week, now he’s quarantined in an Adelaide medi-hotel

(Rebecca Opie and Imogen Hayne) When Shaun Ferguson was browsing the plants at a local nursery last Tuesday afternoon, he never thought it would land him in two weeks quarantine in a medi-hotel.

That night he received the text message that no one wants to receive.

“At about 11.30 that night I got a text message from SA Health saying that I’d been to a potential exposure site for the Omicron strain,” Mr Ferguson said. Continue reading

Identity Wars: What did Paul mean when he wrote, ‘such were some of you?’

Our culture is telling us that it’s “okay to be gay,” and that virtually every kind of “sexual orientation” should be affirmed. It’s telling us that “gayness” is unalterable, except perhaps when it’s not because of “gender fluidity,” and it’s increasingly hostile to “heteronormativity.” 

(Ron Henzel – Midwest Christian Outreach) Currently, a battle is being waged for the soul of my home denomination. In the theologically conservative Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), the question is being asked: What did Paul mean when he wrote, “such were some of you,” and how should we apply it in the life of the church?” Continue reading

This is Christian triumph

“A Christian takes joy in teaching our children to love God more than anything in this world, and to love the things He loves – things like grace, forgiveness, and mercy.”

(Peter Heck – Not the Bee) Just over a week ago, the life of Richard Houston II, a 21-year veteran of the Mesquite, Texas, police department, was taken by a gun-wielding man in a parking lot. Jamie Jaramillo, mistress by his side, had just been confronted by his wife about his infidelity. Officer Houston took the call to respond to the disturbance and upon arriving attempted to talk with Jaramillo. Continue reading

What I’ve Learned Rescuing My Daughter From Her Transgender Fantasy

“She hated me like an addict hates the person preventing her drug fix. I held my ground, despite the constant verbal abuse.”

(Charlie Jacobs- Daily Signal) My daughter’s story is no longer novel. Stories like it are occurring in your state, your town, and perhaps even on your street. Gender dysphoria—the incongruence between the mind and the body—moves stealthily and quickly to invade girls and boys alike.

But this isn’t a cautionary tale. It’s a warning. Continue reading

Desperate Leftists Watching Power Slip Through Their Hands

“America has had a taste of the type of nation that the left has dreams of turning her into. They’ve said, “nah bro we’re good.” And they are planning on turning out in enormous numbers in 2022 to see to it that these ideas and the candidates who tout them are all put to bed and hopefully never to be heard from again.”

(Kevin McCullough – Townhall) In the past few weeks, on a number of fronts, the WOKE Left in America have watched loss after loss pile up and they are realizing something that should encourage the rest of us. Continue reading

‘Experts’ Claim Vaxx Refusers Need to be Deradicalized or Reeducated Like Cult Members and Terrorists

“By this logic, Joe Rogan and others — who have had covid-19 and choose not to take the jab because they trust their natural immunity — are akin to terrorists or cult members.”

(Matt Agorist) In 2016, after the horrifying attacks by extremists in Paris on Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine, on a Jewish supermarket, and on the Bataclan concert hall — which left 107 people dead — France made the decision to open reeducation camps…. Continue reading

The Supremacy of Christ: Living for His Glory and Not Our Own (Hebrews 9)

“Hebrews 9 is a chapter rich in biblical theological intratextuality, which is a complex way of saying: Hebrews 9 is an explosion of biblical glory, which brings together all the elements of God’s story—the the covenants, the priests, sacrifices, etc. And when all of them find their fulfillment in Christ, we see that the story of the universe has a place for us, if we will draw near to God in Christ.”

(David Schrock) Imagine that you were writing the script of your life. In your story, the place was yours to decide, as well as the people, the problems, and the pleasures. As the author of the story and the inventor of your universe, you got to decide how you would do it. Continue reading

The Gospel According to Carols

(Michelle Lesley) During the Christmas seasons of 2019 and 2020, I ran a meme series on my social media pages called The Gospel According to Carols. Many of our favorite Christmas carols include the gospel, so this was a series of memes with gospel quotes from Christmas carols to help keep our focus on the gospel during the hustle and bustle of the season.

The series was so popular I decided to add it to my collection of annual Christmas blog articles. All of the memes are posted below…. Continue reading

Vaccine-induced Myocarditis in Young People ‘Way More Serious’ than COVID-Induced Myocarditis says top cardiologist

(Debra Heine – American Greatness)  Dr. Peter McCullough, a top cardiologist and leader in the medical response to the COVID pandemic, said in a recent interview that myocarditis in young people post vaccine is far more dangerous than the COVID version of the heart disease.

Cases of myocarditis—inflammation of the heart muscle—have spiked dramatically among previously healthy people in heavily vaccinated countries…. Continue reading

Lawyer for dying COVID patient who recovered after court-ordered Ivermectin urges new thinking

After one day, he was able to do a breathing test he couldn’t do for 22 days, After three days, he was off the vent for two hours. And then by the fifth day, he was off it entirely…”

(John Solomon – Just the News) An Illinois lawyer who helped a dying COVID patient win court-ordered treatment with ivermectin and survive says the episode reveals a deep need for American health professions to rethink their approach to a pandemic that has persisted nearly two full years. Continue reading

DeSantis Will Issue Emergency Order Barring State Licenses for Florida Facilities that House Illegal Alien Children from Biden Border Crisis

This emergency order is the next step after an executive order DeSantis signed at the end of September outlining steps he was taking to protect Floridians from illegal migration and the effects of it.

(Matthew Boyle – Breitbart) Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis will take a major step on Friday morning to stop the influx of illegal aliens claiming to be unaccompanied children into his state thanks to Democrat President Joe Biden’s secret nighttime flights, Breitbart News has learned exclusively from the governor’s team. Continue reading

They’ve Successfully Taken Christ Out of Christmas and Replaced Him With Gay Pride

(Reformation Charlotte) Christmas is a Christian holiday, no matter how you look at it. Spare me the arguments that it has Pagan origins and actually borrows from other festivals and was only later Christianized as a holiday. Let’s just be real; without Christ, there never would have been a Christmas. There never would have been an advent. There never would have been a reason to celebrate the birth of the savior of the world–the greatest gift to mankind from God the world has ever seen. Christmas is about Christ. Continue reading

Jussie Smollett’s Race Hoax Joins a List of HUNDREDS of Other Fake ‘Hate Crimes.’ Here Are Just 8…

Let’s pick eight of the phony hate crimes you may have read about recently and later wondered, “Gee, whatever happened to … ?”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) A jury has now confirmed what police (local, state, and federal), Dave Chappelle, and you knew all along: that Jussie Smollett perpetrated a fake hate crime, hung his friends out to dry, and tried to blame everything on Donald Trump. Jussie may as well have said, “But … but … but … MAGA! But Trump! C’mon, guys, don’t you believe me?” Continue reading

Dane Ortlund Wants to Make Sure You Don’t Reject Hillsong Music Just Because It Sounds Happy

“I’m sure Mr. Ortlund means well with this statement, but he obviously didn’t think this through. Nobody–literally nobody–actually rejects Hillsong because of this reason.” 

(Reformation Charlotte) Hillsong music has been soundly rejected by many top theologians including John MacArthur, Justin Peters, and many others on the basis that the music itself lacks not only theological substance, but that by purchasing or playing this music can only be translated into a support for the aberrant Hillsong prosperity gospel movement. Continue reading

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

“The progressive left controls Biden and its policies of no bail, far fewer prosecutions, and demonizing the police have directly led to the murders of thousands of Americans. You are not safe in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other big cities. The street violence is shocking.” 

(Bill O’Reilly) Forrest Gump would be perplexed by the policies of the Biden administration. I hesitate to use the word “stupid” but Forrest might not be. Name-calling is tedious but sometimes a situation can only be described with a solid insult; thus stupid is in play. Continue reading

Was Trump Right? UV Light Therapy Shows Promise in COVID Patients

“President Trump has been maligned and defamed for more than a year based on the lie that the “disinfectant” he mentioned during a COVID press conference was bleach. The fake news did that. They turned the word “disinfectant” into bleach before our very eyes and hardly anyone noticed.”

(Megan Fox – PJ Media) You’re not going to believe this, but you now have more ammunition against the idiots running around saying Trump told people to inject themselves with bleach. He never did that…. Continue reading

Elon Musk predicts chips will be implanted in human brains during 2022

His company earlier this year released a video of a monkey implanted with a chip that “was seen playing a video game telepathically.”

(Bob Unruh – WND) Immortality has been on the minds of mankind since even before those in ancient Egypt and China buried their dead royals with food for the afterlife, statues representing servants and weaponry for protection.

Perhaps coming in a distant second to that fantasy could be the preservation of the human mind through the technology of computers. Continue reading

Biden’s Surgeon General: Lockdowns Fuel Youth Mental Health Crisis

(Penny Starr – Breitbart) The U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on Tuesday issued a public health advisory on the mental health issues he said youth are facing from the harsh lockdowns and other protocols put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.

“It would be a tragedy if we beat back one public health crisis only to allow another to grow in its place,” Murthy said in a preface written for the advisory…. Continue reading

Grinch Torches Fox News ‘All American Christmas Tree’

(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) Talk about a hate crime.

The Fox News “All American Christmas Tree” is a symbol of everything the Globalist-Communist complex hates: patriotism, Christmas, and the U.S. of A.

But when your heart is black with hatred and the lust to destroy, such a target can prove too tempting to resist. Such was the case in the wee hours of this morning, when a despicable grinch set fire to the beloved symbol of all that is wholesome. Continue reading

CNN’s New Owner Could Make the Outlet More CONSERVATIVE

(Selwyn Duke – The New American) “If something can’t go on, it won’t,” goes the paraphrase of economist Herb Stein. This reality could explain a shocking and, some would say, unbelievable story:

CNN, the poster boy for left-wing activism posing as journalism, may be poised to become more conservative.

This is according to lawyer extraordinaire, ex-U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and well-connected savant Joe DiGenova.,,, Continue reading

New Poll Shows 56% of Americans Want Roe Overturned or Mississippi Abortion Ban Upheld

Baby at 15 weeks. babycenter screenshot

(Steven Ertelt – LifeNews) A new poll shows a majority of Americans want Roe v. Wade either fully overturned or limited because it allows late-term abortions.

Polling data on where Americans stand on the infamous 1973 Supreme Court case is historically unreliable because most polls merely ask people whether they want to overturn Roe and a majority of respondents have no idea that Roe v. Wade essentially allows abortions up to birth unless states take the only actions Roe allows, which is limiting abortions after viability, when unborn babies can live outside the womb…. Continue reading

Viagra Use May Reduce Risk Of Getting Alzheimer’s By Nearly 70%, Study Suggests

(Robert Heart – Forbes) Using Viagra, known generically as sildenafil, is associated with a significantly reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to new peer-reviewed research published in Nature Aging Monday, offering hope the widely used drug might be repurposed as a treatment for the neurodegenerative condition.

KEY FACTS

Researchers found that using sildenafil was associated with a 69% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease when accounting for other factors like sex, race and age, according to an analysis of insurance claims data from over seven million people in the U.S. Continue reading

Covid-19 natural immunity compared to vaccine-induced immunity: The definitive summary

(Sharyl Attkisson) Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) became one of the latest high-profile figures to get sick with Covid-19, even though he’s fully vaccinated. In a statement Monday, Graham said it feels like he has “the flu,” but is “certain” he would be worse if he hadn’t been vaccinated.

While it’s impossible to know whether that’s the case, public health officials are grappling with the reality of an increasing number of fully-vaccinated Americans coming down with Covid-19 infections, getting hospitalized, and even dying of Covid…. Continue reading
