Founder of celebrity megachurch Hillsong steps down to fight charge that he hid sexual abuse committed by his pastor father

(Kelsey Vlamis) Brian Houston, founder of the megachurch Hillsong, which has drawn congregants like Justin Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian, and Selena Gomez, said on Sunday he is stepping down as pastor while he fights accusations he hid sexual abuse committed by his father against a child.

“The court case I am facing is related to circumstances surrounding my father, and I need to be fully committed to preparation and engagement with the case and work closely with my lawyers in defending this charge,” Houston said in a statement, adding: “I intend to fight the charge and welcome the opportunity to set the record straight.” Continue reading

Meet the Capitol Police’s New Spy Chief

“The Capitol Police, acting as the Stasi of the Democratic Party, will collect dirt on Republicans under the pretense of national security then leak gossipy details to an always-compliant news media.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) Then most Americans hear the term “Capitol Police,” they likely conjure visions of uniformed officers manning metal detectors at the numerous congressional buildings or helping tourists navigate the sprawling Capitol grounds: a D.C. version of a mall cop.

Here’s PROOF that reducing ‘transwomen’s’ testosterone levels does not eliminate their edge over real women in sports

“The story is the same with 10-and-under and 8-and-under track and field records, though the gap is somewhat greater. Despite prepubescent boys and girls having the same testosterone levels, the boys’ records are better without exception.”

(Selwyn Duke – Renew America) As most know, there’s a contentious debate over whether it’s fair to let men who claim they’re female compete in women’s sports. It’s a debate driven more by emotion than reason, as so many things are. Continue reading

Bible on Trial: Speaking Truth, Scripture Now Hate Speech?

Elections have consequences, and if this piece of radical legislation passes in the Senate, truth proclaimers and Bible-believing Christians will face persecution here that most of us didn’t think would happen in our lifetimes. Don’t think the left won’t gleefully criminalize followers of an entire worldview to advance its godless agenda.”

(David Fiorazo) Another male athlete competing against young women is annihilating the competition. Olympic gold medalist and swimming champion, Michael Phelps weighed in saying everyone should have an equal playing field…. Continue reading

Female Swimmers Complain Trans Teammate Lia Thomas Exposes Male Body Parts in Locker Room

The school’s response? They’re offering mental health services to the athletes. In other words, if a man walking around your locker room exposing himself upsets you, obviously there’s something wrong with you and you need a mental health check.

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) There are plenty of legitimate objections raised against allowing transitioning transgender athletes to compete as a gender other than the one they were assigned at [before] birth. Continue reading

The Big Lie 2024: A Peek Inside the Ruling Elite’s Playbook to Kneecap Trump, Purge Military, and Neutralize MAGA

Writing in the Washington Post one week before Christmas, three retired Army generals further developed the open conspiracy against a free and fair election in 2024. The three stooges charted new waters of hyperbole and hysteria, warning of an impending civil war in the United States requiring, conveniently, “decisive action” from the military to stop a “Trumpian loser.” The fix for this grave danger? Naturally, a major purge of the military, and the imprisonment of senior Republican leaders:

(Revolver) In 2020, despite unprecedented efforts to rig the outcome with delayed vaccine trials, suppression of the Hunter Biden story, rewritten election rules, and ballot harvesting, Joe Biden eked out a “win” by the smallest of margins. Now, one year into his administration, the old man is gruesomely unpopular…. Continue reading

Church Hosts ‘Drag Me to Church’ Event to Attract LGBTQ Pagans

Watch the video

(Protestia) During a Sunday service only Satan could love, a Minnesota church hosted a ‘Drag Me to Church’ event, a celebration on the sabbath that turned into a drag show at the end, in order to attract lost LGBTQ persons to the progressive, affirming congregation.

The Congregational Church of Austin, which is part of the United Chruch of Christ Satan denomination, is little more than an ode to their father the devil. Every part of it, from the music to the pastrix to the sermonette, is completely upside down and backward…. Continue reading

Unvaxxed Illegals Can Go Anywhere ‘on the Taxpayer’s Dime,’ ‘But Unvaxxed Truckers Can’t Cross the Border’?

“After a three-week delay, Border Patrol just announced that its officers arrested nearly 179,000 illegals in December. Now that’s up 142 percent since last December 2020, which of course is back when we had some sane immigration policies under Trump…” 

(Emily Robertson – CNS News) “Presumably, many unvaxxed illegals can just get free rides to wherever they please, but unvaxxed truckers can’t cross the border,” Fox News host Laura Ingraham said Tuesday. Continue reading

Doctor’s Organization Has Treated Over 150,000 COVID-19 Patients With 99.99% Survival

[Senator] Johnson held the roundtable discussion to offer a different perspective on the response to the pandemic, including on “the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy and safety, what went right, what went wrong, what should be done now, and what needs to be addressed long term.”

(Meiling Lee – Zero Hedge) A doctor who has been offering free telehealth services to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic says that early treatment for COVID-19 works, claiming that he has a 99.99 percent survival rate. Continue reading

Alex Berenson: The mRNA Vaccines Are Dangerous and Should Be Halted Immediately

“What may be happening is known as antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), a phenomenon that increases the ability of a virus to enter cells and strengthen the disease. … Two of the world’s top virologists believe ADE is driving the pandemic.”

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) Independent journalist Alex Berenson is calling for the mRNA vaccines to be halted immediately amid data that clearly shows negative efficacy in highly vaccinated countries. Continue reading

The Gospel Coalition Author Employs Gay Rights Activist as Personal Pastoral Assistant at Church

(Reformation Charlotte) If you’ve followed Reformation Charlotte at all over the last year, you are most likely well-aware that we believe The Gospel Coalition (TGC) to be a subversive progressive propaganda machine designed to turn the Evangelical Church sharply to the left. TGC employs a broad range of activists — from feminism to homosexuality to social justice — and most of them are tied either to the Southern Baptist Convention or to the Presbyterian Church (PCA). Continue reading

Sacre Bleu! The Commie Battle For Canada Has Begun

“Canadians are fighting back. Tens of thousands of truckers are convening in Canada’s capital, Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. They are fed up with COVID-related mandates, specifically, the rule that Canadian truckers returning from the U.S. need to quarantine for 14 days. This has all resulted in even more supply chain issues.”

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Step aside, Australia, because Canada has decided to embrace some western communism as well. Continue reading

JD Greear laments Christians leaving his woke church

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) At Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, JD Greear gave a chapel sermon bashing his church to an audience of future pastors. The sermon raises the question as to how much Summit Church is hemorrhaging members as a result of JD Greear’s regular wokeness and Branch Covidianism.

It’s worth mentioning that JD Greear has a church location enforcing a vaccine passport system…. Continue reading

Fox News Special Report outlines fresh questions on what Fauci, government knew about COVID origin

(Fox News) Fresh questions are being raised about what American scientists and federal health officials knew about the origins of the coronavirus and whether conflicting evidence was suppressed and hidden from the public.

On Tuesday night’s episode of Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News dove into the early days of the coronavirus pandemic and explored documents obtained showing that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was warned early on that the virus may have originated in a Wuhan, China lab.

France Passes Law Banning Prayer, Counseling for Homosexuals, Including From Parents; Hefty Fines and Prison

“The movement against conversion therapy isn’t just pushed by secular leftists; similarly, so-called “conservative” church leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention and other Evangelical denominations have embraced the push to eliminate conversion therapy and instead have embraced the idea–largely advanced by “gay Christian” ministries such as Revoice and Living Out–the idea that one’s sexual orientation cannot be changed even upon conversion to Christianity.” 

(Reformation Charlotte) Following in Canada’s footsteps, France has now passed a bill through parliament unanimously voting to make counseling for unwanted homosexuality illegal in the country with penalties ranging from fines to up to two years imprisonment for those who breach the new law. Continue reading

Breaker One-Nine, We Got Us a Convoy: Canadian Truckers Protest COVID Policy

“Canada isn’t alone when it comes to border vaccine mandates. The U.S. also issued a statement declaring that *everyone coming over our borders through our ports of entry will require proof of vaccination.”

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Canadian truckers are fed up with Prime Minister Justin “Black-face” Trudeau and his COVID-19 nonsense. A convoy of roughly 50,000 trucks is now 70 kilometers 43 miles long. It started in the western province of British Columbia and is headed to Ottawa, the capital of Canada. Now, American truckers are joining them. Continue reading

Dershowitz: Jan. 6 Committee Similar To McCarthyism Witch-Hunt

“Since the Supreme Court shot down Trump’s request to bar the Democrat-led panel from receiving documents from his office, the select committee has obtained those materials. They have yet to make the documents public or even given an update on how far they have delved into them.”

(OAN) A Harvard Law professor compared the January 6 Committee to a tactic used in the 1950s to oust accused communists who had no actual ties to the party. Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz said the panel is not a valid congressional body and it’s actually in violation of legislative rules. Continue reading

Did You Catch California’s Latest Assault on Parental Rights?

“It may be time for parents w/kids to consider leaving CA. The combination of schools pushing sexuality on children and now pushing drugs on them without parental consent, is truly shocking. Same state tells judges that parents have no rights to direct their kids’ education!.”

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Things in California just got worse for parents and their children. Continue reading

Dr. Malone’s Message to Parents: If Your Child is Harmed By COVID Vax ‘You Will Carry the Burden for the Rest of Your Life’

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, had a very sobering message Sunday for parents who plan to have their children injected with the experimental COVID vaccines. Continue reading

Many in Corporate World, Some in Media ‘Don’t Care’ about China’s Abuses, ‘Our Elites Are Often up for Bribery’

(Iah Hanchett – Breitbart) On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” author, Washington Post columnist, and CNN political analyst Josh Rogin said that Golden State Warriors part-owner Chamath Palihapitiya has a point when he says people don’t care about China’s treatment of the Uyghurs and that “reveals an ugly truth about our society, which is that our elites are often up for bribery, that they’re often easily corrupted, even in the face of the world’s worst atrocities.” And that there are “a lot of people in Silicon Valley and in the corporate world who don’t care, some in the media, actually.” Continue reading

‘Trans’ Activists Admit They Can’t Define What a ‘Woman’ Is; Are Traumatized by Being Questioned

Watch the video in the article.

(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Men have long been confused about women, but this always related to the latter’s personalities. “Transgender” activists have taken this to a new level, however, claiming they can’t even define what a woman is (hence the feminist complaint that they’re “erasing women”).

A good example occurred on a recent Dr. Phil episode that featured Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh debating MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, a.k.a. “transgender”) activists…. Continue reading

BOMBSHELL: Biden Family Scored $31 Million from Deals with Individuals with Direct Ties to the Highest Levels of Chinese Intelligence

“The hazard of a Chinese businessman with close ties to the top ranks of Beijing’s spy agency conducting financial transactions with the son of the U.S. vice president cannot be overstated. How this did not set off national security or ethics alarm bells in Washington is a wonder in itself.”

(Emma-Jo Morris) Breitbart) The Biden family scored $31 million from five deals in China, all with individuals with direct ties to the Chinese spy apparatus, according to a bombshell new book. Continue reading

Unvaccinated California Students Were Corralled Behind Police Tape At School

“The girls alleged that the school refused to let them inside to use the restroom or provide chairs for them to sit on.”

(Madeline Leesman – Townhall) Students at a school in Los Angeles were corralled behind police tape on school grounds by the vice principal for being unvaccinated, the Daily Caller reported Wednesday.

According to the Caller, the New West Charter (NWC) School students said they were forced to choose between an “inadequate” online education or in-person learning after they refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19…. Continue reading
