Why is the medical profession letting us die?

(Anony Mee – American Thinker)  Thank you, Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, for your article on aspirin as a potential part of the COVID treatment regimen.  And for mentioning ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as similar safe and potentially effective therapeutics.

Here are a couple more to be considered.  (Please note that I am not a physician, and I am not dispensing medical advice.  I’m just commenting on publicly available information.)…. Continue reading

Remaining Faithful When Others Embrace LGBTQ+ Theology

“Can you trust God to write his story in their hearts and lives in his way and in his timing? The gospel is the greatest need for those who pursue sexuality on their own terms—along with those who agree with them and buy into worldly sexuality.”

(John Freeman – Harvest USA) The parents sitting before me had tears streaming down both their faces. Their 22-year-old daughter was now married to another woman. These Christian parents experienced understandable grief and heartache. Continue reading

Bethel Church Preaches ‘Tunnel of Youth’ Heresy That You Can Reverse Your Age

“In one of the latest videos [on the site] to surface, Bethel Church is preaching a “tunnel of youth” heresy. Similar to Bethel’s “tunnel of fire” nonsense affirmed by Michael Brown as an act of the Holy Spirit…”

(Reformation Charlotte)  If you’re familiar with the cult of Bethel Redding, you’re aware they practice such things as grave sucking (or grave soaking) whereby people lay on the graves of dead people to “soak” the anointing from them…. Continue reading

Why Todd White is the Most Dangerous Kind of False Teacher

“On occasion, he says things that would make someone who isn’t paying attention, or who isn’t very discerning, think that he’s moving closer to orthodoxy and that, perhaps, the Holy Spirit is truly leading him to the truth. Yet, when we really dissect his statements, it becomes clear that he’s mixing truth and error in such a way to lead people into even greater deception unnoticed.”

(Reformation Charlotte)  Todd White is a charismatic preacher who is known for his parlor trick “healings” such as leg-lengthening and various other fake healings…. Continue reading

Is America Becoming Rome Versus Byzantium?

Our Byzantine interior and Roman coasts are quite differently interpreting their shared American heritage as they increasingly plot radically divergent courses to survive in scary times. 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  In A.D. 286 the Roman emperor Diocletian split in half the huge Roman Empire administratively—and peacefully—under the control of two emperors.

A Western empire included much of modern-day Western Europe and northwest Africa. The Eastern half controlled Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia, and northeastern Africa. Continue reading

Amazon copied products and rigged search results to promote its own brands, documents show

(Reuters Investigates) Amazon.com Inc has been repeatedly accused of knocking off products it sells on its website and of exploiting its vast trove of internal data to promote its own merchandise at the expense of other sellers. The company has denied the accusations.

But thousands of pages of internal Amazon documents examined by Reuters – including emails, strategy papers and business plans – show the company ran a systematic campaign of creating knockoffs and manipulating search results to boost its own product lines in India, one of the company’s largest growth markets.

Joe’s Presidency Is Building Hunter Biden Back Bigger

There always seems to be more. For example, on October 15, we learned of yet another of Hunter’s Chinese business deals when the Washington Free Beacon revealed a new trove of his emails from a decade ago, in which Hunter conceded (or bragged?) that his value to the Chinese “had everything to do with my last name.”

(James P. Pinkerton – Breitbart) We’ve been hearing a lot these days about the Biden administration’s $3.5 trillion Build Back Better (BBB) plan that has been tangled up in Congress with uncertain prospects of success. Continue reading

Pete Buttigieg is in over his head on the supply chain crisis. Here’s why

Congratulations, America. We have yet another crisis on our hands to go along with inflation, violent crime, the border and Afghanistan, and the guy tapped to save the day is the former mayor where they filmed “Rudy.”

(Joe Concha – Fox News)  Have you heard? There’s a supply chain crisis looming in this country. Good thing we have a man with a wealth of experience in this department to fix this complex issue.  Continue reading

Ex-Google Exec: By 2049, Artificial Intelligence Will Become ‘God’ — and Master of Man?

“People of faith may find this especially fanciful, but as one myself, here’s my take. We’re not God. But as His children we are capable of eventually, after enough toil, replicating what we can observe in the physical world. No, we can’t infuse our creations with souls; they’re of the spirit. But can we forge some soulless entity with intellect, self-awareness, and purpose? I’d guess yes — in time.”

(Selwyn Duke – The New American)  More than a century ago, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about the coming Übermensch, or superior man, and the “death” of God. Now Silicon Valley a-theologians predict the Singularity, the point at which artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intellect. Not only is this development less than a decade away, they say, but what they outline sounds like a science-fiction movie plot: Continue reading

Attorney General Garland’s Son-In-Law Benefits From Critical Race Theory

“This comes after Garland’s Department of Justice suggested parents who oppose such teachings in public schools are engaging in “domestic terrorism.” America First Legal said these ties raise ethical concerns in the DOJ to advance far-left propaganda for financial gain.”

(OneNewsNow)  A new report suggested Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland may have a conflict of interest over critical race theory. Continue reading

New Documents Reveal More Details About Ashli Babbitt Shooting

(Kevin Downey Jr. – PJ Media)  Judicial Watch acquired almost 500 pages of documents from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit they filed last May. What did they learn? Ashli Babbitt was unarmed and there are conflicting reports as to whether or not she was given a verbal warning. Some of the pages in the report are completely redacted.

“These previously secret records show there was no good reason to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton…. Continue reading

The Weapon We Need for Spiritual Battle

“There is a battle raging. We have a powerful enemy who seeks to devour, but we have a weapon that is more powerful and allows us to fight back—the truth. Armed with the truth of God, we can withstand Satan’s assaults. As ambassadors for Christ, we can stand firm against the devil’s lies in the culture.”

(Jonathan Noyes – Stand to Reason)  Beneath the surface of the visible world, a battle rages in an unseen realm. Dark, wicked, supernatural powers seek to rule the world by force. The carnage and the casualties lie all around us. Continue reading

Harvard Research Confirms There is not evidentiary correlation between cases and vaccination rates

(Justin Heart) I have no idea how this paper made it past the censors but there it is! This was published a month ago but didn’t receive much fanfare and now we know why—it confirms what we’ve been saying for months now: the vaccines have not stopped and likely will not stop the pandemic.

Back in July we tweeted that the CDC data mapping vax rates to COVID-19 case rates shows ZERO impact of the former on the latter: Continue reading

Thanks to Biden’s policies, prepare for a cold, expensive winter

“Biden will not suffer.  Just as Obama kept the White House at a toasty 75 while his policies left Americans in the cold, expect Biden to do the same.  And at home in Delaware, this man, who got fabulously wealthy in politics (it pays to have a bagman for a son), can keep the house as warm as he wants.”

(Andrea Widburg – The American Thinker)  One of the wonders of the modern age is that fossil fuel allows us to avoid freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer.  Climate change fanatics, however, who ignore that the Earth’s climate has cycled endlessly between hot and cold for billions of years, desperately want to return us to a pre-modern state.  Their efforts are paying off, for the U.S. government is warning of a 54% increase in winter heating bills. Continue reading

The New Secession Movement

“The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in such cases, instead urging Congress to define legislatively what constitutes a “presence.” Thanks to its partisan divisions, Congress hasn’t even come close to addressing this crucial issue. This inaction has effectively handed states a potent weapon at a time when officials see differences of opinion on issues like immigration or civil rights as grounds for intra-state war.”

(Steven Malanga – City Journal)  A new poll from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics finds that large portions of the American public now favor blue and red states going their own ways to form separate countries…. Continue reading

Suicides in the U.S. Army’s active-duty forces jumped 46-percent compared to last year

More U.S. servicemembers died from suicide in Q2 than have died from the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic.

(Fox News) Suicides in the U.S. Army‘s active-duty forces jumped 46-percent last quarter compared to the same period last year, according to a new suicide report from the Pentagon.

In Q2 of 2021, 60 active-duty U.S. Army personnel members lost their lives to suicide compared to 41 the previous year. Continue reading

‘Global Predators’ Fauci, Gates, and Schwab Behind the COVID ‘Reign of Terror’

“We need to know what happened. We are being oppressed by evil people. Nothing is by chance. We might as well be children being tormented and turned into helpless beings. We have to say to each other, “No more. No more helplessness. No more lamenting. No more complaining. No more saying, ‘What’s happening to us?’” It’s very clear what’s happening to us. It’s the age-old tendency for power to rise to the top and to abuse everybody again, only now it’s high-tech, and now they have these fake vaccines that are sort of high-tech, and so on.” 

(Debra Heine – American Greatness)  A world-renowned psychiatrist says an evil cabal of powerful elites, including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, tech billionaire Bill Gates, and World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab, created the COVID pandemic to push the deadly vaccines on an unsuspecting public, and usher in a “new world order.” Continue reading

Sin will entangle us as we make our way to glory

“We may, however, be tempted to delay returning to God until our feelings of shame and guilt subside, as if we need some time of not doing the sin before we can present ourselves to God.  But God does not accept us or forgive us because we have reformed ourselves, but on the sole basis of the atoning sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  

(Patrick Ramsey, Discard Entanglements)  One of the most anticipated races of the 1984 summer Olympics was the women’s 3000m, featuring the American Mary Decker and the South African Zola Budd. Decker—who had won a 3000m at the World Championships the preceding year—was favored to win the gold medal, and Budd knew she could not beat the champion if it came to finish line sprint….

Does Biden Want the Sick to Get Sicker? Hospital CEO Crushes Biden’s Vaccine Mandate

(Dillon Burroughs – Western Journal)  A hospital CEO said on Wednesday that he won’t yet be enforcing the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate, as doing so could create a mass exodus of health care workers.

Dr. Randy Tobler, CEO of Scotland County Hospital in Missouri, shared his concerns in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday.

“If we lose more staff, we won’t be able to deliver the great care that people have become accustomed to in our area,” Tobler said. Continue reading

Was Jan. 6 an ‘Armed Insurrection’?

(Byron York – Townhall)  It has become common in some circles to call the Jan. 6 Capitol riot an “armed insurrection.” That leads to a few questions: How many rioters were armed? And what weapons did they have? What were the arms in the “armed insurrection”?

The Justice Department maintains a website listing the defendants and the federal charges against them in the sprawling Capitol riot investigation…. Continue reading

The Left Got What It Wanted—So Now What?

There is no schadenfreude in seeing the Left destroy everything it touches—because its claws tear all of us as well.

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  No sooner had Donald Trump entered office than scores of House Democrats filed motions for impeachment, apparently for thought crimes that he might, some day, in theory, could possibly commit. Continue reading

Advice Shifting on Aspirin Use for Preventing Heart Attacks

(Newsmax)  Older adults without heart disease shouldn’t take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday.

Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven’t had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance. Continue reading

Is voting Democrat an evil act in God’s eyes?

“Today’s Democratic Party completely rejects Biblical teaching on morality and human nature – that man’s fallen nature cannot handle great power. Rather, it embraces pagan ideas, including the state being supreme. As such they work to shift power (responsibility and control) away from the smaller governing spheres of individual, family, church, community, etc. to higher and higher governing levels, including unaccountable international bodies.”

(Mark Shepherd – Renew America)  Is voting Democrat an evil act in God’s eyes? That question rose from a recent Sunday-school lesson on 1 Kings 21, where King Ahab wanted Naboth’s vineyard, but Naboth would not sell. Then without the king’s participation, Queen Jezebel arranged a plot to kill Naboth…. Continue reading
