“Think of the irony. If Milley considered a politicized resignation to rebuke Trump over the false charge [that Trump had ordered rioters cleared from Lafayette Square for a staged picture], then surely he could consider a real resignation after overseeing the worst military disaster of the last half-century in Kabul.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – Townhall) It is the beginning of a never-ending bad dream. Joe Biden and the Pentagon have managed to birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country. Continue reading
“Judicial Watch is also leading an inquiry into what it calls suspected “collusion” between The Gates Foundation and China regarding the sale of Chinese-made medications worldwide.”
(OAN) Government watchdog group Judicial Watch is fighting against injustice by filing a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic…. Continue reading
“There are 50 years of studies demonstrating [ivermectin’s] potential as an anti-viral in humans and animals. Some might call it a miracle drug.”
(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media) Comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan took to social media to discuss his experience having COVID-19. In a short video, he reported not feeling well over the weekend, isolating himself from his family, and the treatment he received. As recommended by the experts, he got tested when he developed symptoms. Continue reading
CNN, similarly, observes the largest issue concerning the regulators seems to be that by arbitrarily setting a goal for boosters, the White House is “getting ahead of where the science is” and “prejudging what the FDA would say.”
(Two top regulators at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are resigning from their positions over disagreement with the White House’s pressure to move forward with COVID booster shots without FDA approval, as well as with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) involvement in the vaccine approval process. Continue reading
(Breitbart) The White House Wednesday refused to address leaked details of a conversation between President Joe Biden and Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani revealing concerns about the government collapse as early as July.
“I’m not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or leaked transcripts of phone calls,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday when asked about the report. Continue reading
“The use of gay special interest stories for purposes other than those of actual news: perhaps making up for lost time, or perhaps just rubbing things in the faces of those not yet up to speed with the changed mores of the age. Either way something strange and vaguely retributive is in the air.”
(Jonathan Van Maren – The Bridgehead) At the 2018 Oscars, while Hollywood was in the throes of revelations about Harvey Weinstein’s serial predations, Jimmy Kimmel took the stage to mock those who still hold to a Christian view of sexuality…. Continue reading
(Protestia) Dr. Albert Mohler has broken the silence on the Ed Litton plagiarism scandal, addressing it by way of a student’s question at SBTS’s President’s Forum earlier this morning, who asked him how students, pastors, and churches should think about the reproachful topic.
Mohler, long believed to be the presumptive winner of the SBC Presidency on account of being the worlds most well know Southern Baptist, famously lost to Ed Litton just a few short months ago after being crushed in a rank ballot at the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention…. Continue reading
“Most people who voted for Biden did so to get rid of Trump. But casting a ballot on emotion almost always leads to disaster. And that’s what we are now facing as a nation.”
(Bill O’Reilly) This column will take no prisoners. Nor will it evacuate anyone. No, what I am writing needs to be said and I will say it.
President Biden is not able to effectively run the United States of America. He is directly responsible for the death and destruction in Afghanistan as well as thousands of poor migrants being brutalized in Mexico at this very moment. Continue reading
“President Biden’s Health and Human Services department is grossly overreaching its authority and, in doing so, putting children’s psychological and physical health in danger. Our clients are rightfully objecting on medical, ethical, religious and conscientious grounds to this unlawful government mandate to provide gender-transition procedures.”
(Human Events) Pediatricians and other health care workers are suing the Biden administration over a mandate that would require medical professionals to provide gender-related services regardless of any medical objections. Continue reading
(Project Veritas) Project Veritas released shocking new video today of California AP Government teacher, Gabriel Gipe, boasting about politically indoctrinating his students at Inderkum High School.
Gipe said that his intention is to radicalize students into supporting Marxist ideas by using the public school system as an avenue to incentivize them to participate in fringe extracurricular events. Continue reading
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) I have groundbreaking news to report. Bethel Church in Redding CA (BCR) has plans to construct an Apostolic Training Center. According to Bill Johnson, who holds the title “Super-Apostle” (which is comparable to holding the high office of cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church) is “partnering with other catalysts from around the world to propel this mission forward, and are believing for an entirely new, state-of-the-art campus where we can continue to pursue God’s decree over our movement.”
I hope you’re sitting down. The new construct will cost roughly 96 million dollars.
According to Protestia, “In 2019 they launched the ‘Arise and build’ campaign to kickstart Bethel’s 5-year plan to establish and build out the Collyer Campus. The megastructure will include a 171,780 square foot campus, 1851 parking spaces, and 300 bike racks. There will be a worship center that seats 2600 people, and the Apostolic Center will have classroom space for over 3000 students.”
BCR promotes the School of Supernatural Ministry on the “About” page of the church’s website:
Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry is committed to the truth that God loves people, gave Himself for them and has given His Church supernatural power to bring individuals and nations into wholeness. The mission of BSSM is to equip and deploy revivalists who passionately pursue world-wide transformation in their God-given spheres of influence. Students are trained to continue in the ministry style of Jesus: to enjoy the presence of God, say what He is saying, and do what He is doing.
I’ll leave it up to the reader to decided what the church means by “to enjoy the presence of God, say what He is saying, and do what He is doing”. Continue reading
“Unlike the Force in Star Wars, which one “masters” over time through meditation and other self-calming practices, the Spirit of Christ sovereignly confronts us. It is not we who make use of him; it is he who makes use of us. For, apart from God’s Spirit, we are utterly lost in a plethora of destructive patterns which lead, ultimately, to death.” Continue reading
(OAN) GOP members in the House are holding Joe Biden’s feet to the fire regarding his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. On Monday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) led a roundtable discussion with a group of Republican lawmakers, many of whom served in Afghanistan.
McCarthy urged the Biden administration leave troops in the country until every American is evacuated. He lamented Biden did not take proper steps to leave Afghanistan, which he claimed put the lives of U.S. troops and many innocent people in harms way. Continue reading
Freeman has taken even sharper aim at other members of his own faith…He claimed, “Evangelical Christianity is the greatest threat to human existence today. It must be laid waste.”
(Megan Basham – Daily Wire) MSNBC host Joy Reid stirred up controversy earlier this week when she compared Christian conservatives to the Taliban. But Reid is hardly the only public figure on the left making that analogy. Continue reading
“Even a private sector vaccine passport should be resisted by every possible means. It is the first step on a slippery slope to a social credit system, and the only time it can be stopped is at the very beginning.”
(Helen Andrews – The American Conservative) On August 10, former White House coronavirus task force senior advisor Andy Slavitt tweeted something snarky, as is his habit:… Continue reading
(SF Gate) The Caldor Fire raced down highways 50 and 89 — main arteries for travel to and from the Tahoe Basin — as the wildfire continued to burn out-of-control Monday night. The flames burned cabins along the highways as residents of nearby Douglas County, Nevada were warned to evacuate.
“There is fire activity happening in California that we have never seen before. The critical thing for the public to know is evacuate early,” said Chief Thom Porter, director of Cal Fire. “For the rest of you in California: Every acre can and will burn someday in this state.” Continue reading
“The Bible says ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The most practical way right now you can love your neighbor as yourself, wear a mask. Okay? And to not wear one basically says, ‘I don’t care about you, or I don’t even care about your fears.”
(Reformation Charlotte) During an online session, Rick Warren announced that those who refuse to wear masks are basically saying that they don’t care about other people and that the most practical way to “love your neighbor,” as the Bible says, is to wear a mask. Continue reading
There’s no evidence of more outbreaks in schools…where the solid majority of kids wore masks for an entire academic year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. These countries, along with the World Health Organization, whose child-masking guidance differs substantially from the CDC’s recommendations, have explicitly recognized that the decision to mask students carries with it potential academic and social harms for children and may lack a clear benefit.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) “Consistency” may be “the hobgoblin of little minds,” but it’s also very reassuring if coming from our public health officials…. Continue reading
“It will be extremely difficult to dislodge the teachers’ unions from their perch…Their political power is awesome, given the $30 million they pour into the war chests of Democratic state politicians. They also hold the fate of big-city mayors in the palms of their hands as they can easily blackmail even the most powerful mayor by threatening a walkout. Voters become enraged when their lives are turned upside down because they can’t send their kids to school so they can work.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The public school system in America is in crisis — the worst crisis since the forced bussing and integration issues of the 1970s.
Simply put, parents and students have lost faith in the school system to educate. They doubt whether the schools have the best interests of their students at heart…. Continue reading
(John Hayward – Breitbart) Joe Biden’s first half-year in office concluded with a string of disasters and failures to deliver on his campaign rhetoric.
Afghanistan: Of course, the list must begin with Biden’s hideously bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, a debacle that claimed the lives of 13 American military personnel on Thursday.
Biden’s Afghanistan disaster is likely to haunt the United States for years to come…. Continue reading
(Nick Arama – Red State) George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley is raising questions about the shooting of Ashli Babbitt and making some of the same points that I made after I saw the interview on Thursday that Lt. Michael Byrd gave to NBC’s Lester Holt.
The media has largely ignored the questions about the propriety of the shooting, because they were against Babbitt’s political beliefs. But the same standards of whether an officer is justified when shooting should apply whoever the person shot is — be they Trump supporter or BLM person. Continue reading
Oregon Gov Kate Brown
“Kate Brown unfortunately turned out to be lighter than air. She didn’t know anything, she had no achievements. Under pressure, she wilted and became irrational.”
(Breitbart) Wednesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson criticized the permanent nature of what he deemed “nonsensical” mandates, including masks for those regardless of their vaccination status.
He pointed to Gov. Kate Brown (D-OR), who has instituted an outdoor mask mandate for public areas regardless of one’s vaccination status. Continue reading
“We the undersigned therefore demand the IFCN immediately remove PolitiFact from its list of approved fact-checkers. We further demand Facebook immediately remove PolitiFact from its list of approved Third-Party Fact-Checkers.”
(CNS News) Media Research Center President Brent Bozell, along with fellow members of the Free Speech Alliance and 10 other conservative leaders, are demanding the International Fact-Checking Network remove PolitiFact as a fact-checker for violating IFCN’s Code of Principles. Continue reading
(Ryan Saavdra – Daily Wire) Republican lawmakers introduced two articles of impeachment on Friday for Secretary of State Antony Blinken following the Biden administration’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
Rep. Ralph Norman (SC) introduced the articles of impeachment, saying that Blinken “played a vital role in this foreign policy failure and his dereliction of duty deserves nothing less than impeachment.” Continue reading
