“These kids will be as ignorant as a bag of hammers. Notwithstanding, I will not be surprised if upon evaluation the program is deemed to be a smashing success.”
(Mark Ellis – PJ Media) The liberal Oregonian, Oregon’s newspaper of record, was surprised by a new law signed by Governor Kate Brown that suspends the requirement for basic skills testing of students as a prerequisite for graduation from high school through the 2022-2023 school year.
But I wasn’t. Continue reading
“When proclaiming what those Scriptures teach is “godly,” believers should be dutifully committed to speaking only where it speaks, and identifying as our opinion where it doesn’t.”
(Peter Heck – Not the Bee) A lot was made recently of a state senator in Texas bastardizing the Word of God in spectacular fashion as she made her case for securing election integrity.
There’s nothing quite like ripping a Bible verse out of context to support one’s political agenda to get a bevy of online Twitter theologians worked into a lather. It’s not that I don’t think such a galling misapplication of Scripture needs correcting; it’s more that I’m perplexed at the selective application of outrage and contempt over the offense.
Consider that just a few days after the Texas clip went viral, well-known Bible teacher Beth Moore decided it appropriate to use her own social media account to adulterate a teaching of Christ Jesus Himself.

Gaslighting, a Covid love story
Dear Republican Trump haters – What did you get for your trade?
Fmr. Google Employee Reveals Company Changed News Algorithm To Target President Trump
“That’s where Lara Logan comes in. What she told Tucker will confirm your worst fears: things are playing out as they are, complete with violence, death, chaos, and a massive risk of a hostage crisis, because that’s what the government wants, much as it wants an open border…”
(Andrea Widburg – American Thinker) Biden’s pullout from Afghanistan has been the worst managed event in American history. With Saigon as an example, the administration knew exactly how bad it would be…. Continue reading
“What’s worse, they lie about some of the most absurd and demonstrably false things. For example, one woman who believes she’s a “prophetic deliverance minister” says Jesus crawled up in bed with her and played with her hair as he was giving her a direct revelation. So dumb.”
(Reformation Charlotte) One of the most nefarious movements in Christianity–apart from the woke movement–is the charismatic movement…. Continue reading
“But one source said there has been little, if any, recent discussion by senior Justice Department officials of filing charges such as “seditious conspiracy” to accuse defendants of trying to overthrow the government. They have also opted not to bring racketeering charges, often used against organized criminal gangs.”
(Mark Hosenball and Sarah N. Lynch – Reuters) – The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials. Continue reading
(Emma Colton – Fox News) A father in Colorado Springs who is the descendant of slaves slammed critical race theory during a public school district’s board meeting, saying racism in America would “by and large be dead” if not for institutions such as the education system “keeping it on life support.”
“I am a direct descendant of the North American slave trade. Both my parents are black. All four of my grandparents are black, all eight of my great great grandparents, and all 16 of my great greats…. Continue reading
(Spencer Brown – Townhall) They were elementary and homemade at first before becoming commercialized and mass-produced, but plastic dividers became as commonplace during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic as the paper masks that now litter city streets.
Put up with the aim of blocking droplets from the noses and mouths of the COVID-infected among us, they became a sort of virtue signal for businesses to show that they cared about the safety of their customers and employees…. Continue reading
Is Donald Trump in control of the United States military as some “prophets” claim he is? Watch Justin Peter’s video.
(Protestia) Those Charismatics are not having a good few years. Not a single one predicted/prophesied COVID-19 or the destruction of our liberty that accompanied it, showing themselves to be poorly suited for the task. Then once it did come, half of them predicted it would be gone by the end of the year (You’ll recall that Dr. Michael Brown made a wager based on this very thing.)…. Continue reading
These are the people to whom your president and your party capitulated. These are the people to whom your president and your party forced our country to show the back of our neck. This is the situation that your administration is contorting itself to spin.
(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) With the eruption of left-wing has-been celebrities mewling for attention by comparing American conservatives to the Taliban, maybe it is time for a little perspective. Or perhaps a metric ton of perspective. Continue reading
“Since taking Afghanistan, the Taliban has already killed a woman for failing to wear a burqa, they’ve beaten Afghans, including women and children, trying to get to the airport, and they reportedly fired into a crowd of protesters, killing at least two and injuring a dozen others.”
(Lea Barkoukis – Townhall) Even a casual observer of the United Nations knows the international body is a joke…. Continue reading
“In a sane world, the Joint Chiefs and the secretary of defense would resign. We have heard for too long their careerist boasts about assigning climate change as their chief challenge. For too long they have virtue signaled their critical race theory credentials to Congress. For too long, they have bragged about rooting out alleged “white supremacists” from their ranks. For too long they have sparred with journalists, while fighting twitter wars and issuing cartoonish commercials attesting to their woke credentials.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The American-nurtured Afghan military of the last 20 years that had suffered thousands of prior casualties evaporated in a few hours in the encirclement of Kabul. Continue reading
“The gospel is not simply the term used to reference the good news of what Christ has done and the biblical truths that surround this magnificent, saving work. Instead, the “gospel” is a separate, malleable, conceptual entity that does things on its own (often subverting the teachings of the Bible) and is a tool to be used to accomplish the goals of popular culture and anti-Christian worldviews.”
(David Morrill – Protestia) On their new podcast You’re Not Crazy, Koran-promoting pastor Ray Ortlund and “I’m deeply sexually attracted to men but I’m not gay” Sam Allberry fill the first episode with a masterclass of scripture twisting, Gospel redefinition, and wedge their unholy foot very firmly in the back door of the church with their promotion of so-called Gospel Culture. Continue reading
“Kessler slapped Three Pinocchios on Biden’s assertion, stating in his analysis how Biden barely escaped the worst rating of Four Pinocchios.”
(Fox News) The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler accused President Biden of inflating the numbers after claiming Afghanistan‘s military is bigger than many NATO allies in a fact check on Wednesday.
Biden was forced to return from Camp David this week to deliver a speech on the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of U.S. troops…. Continue reading
(OAN) Communist China has sent warships to the Taiwan Strait in an act of aggression against both Taiwan and the U.S. According to Tuesday reports, China has been holding assault drills involving warships and military jets near its maritime border with Taiwan.
Beijing claimed the drills came in response to unspecified “provocations” and “external interference.”…. Continue reading
Salty language alert.
(Robert Kraychik) Breitbart) Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, author of The Long Slide: Thirty Years in American Journalism, warned that America is becoming a “soviet society” prioritizing conformity and obedience to government over freedom of behavior and thought.
“I do think, marginally, people can be more brave and more honest just in their personal lives,” Carlson remarked on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow…. Continue reading
“Definitely, they’re going to kill some of the Christians that have been known and that way they want to spread that fear that we will not tolerate anything against that.”
(Andrea Morris – Faithwire) Widespread chaos has consumed Afghanistan now that the Taliban have gained control of the country, inciting fear among religious minorities, including Christians who are worried about an increase in persecution. Continue reading
Warren also affirms the pope. Bible-believing Christians understand without controversy that the pope of the Roman Catholic Church is a deceiver, a liar, and an enemy of God. Yet, leave it to Rick Warren to refer to him as “Holy Father.”
(Reformation Charlotte) Making #36 on our False Teacher of the Day series, Rick Warren could be one of the most well-known pastors in America. Ranking as the second largest Southern Baptist church in the nation, Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA has never failed to be at the forefront of controversy over the years. Continue reading
(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America) The difference between Afghanistan and Vietnam is that the Muslims would not fight for freedom. The Vietnamese did and were betrayed. That’s the difference. Don’t forget it. The real enemy is the Red Jihad.
Here’s the truth:
Vietnam would be free today except for a Democratic-controlled Congress that decided otherwise…. Continue reading
“Socialism aligns foreign policy with the interests of the global oppressed rather than the citizens of a particular nation. In reductionist terms, what do lifting sanctions on Iran and appeasing its theocracy, reaching out to Hamas and snubbing Israel, and allowing the Taliban to overrun Afghanistan have in common?”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Institutions are being absorbed not just by the woke apparat, but by an array of ideologies that seeks to destroy them. Continue reading
“Now vaccine advocates have done a massive about-face. In the face of this horrendous data, they have simply refused to admit the vaccines are failing to work as they promised. They don’t ever even acknowledge that months ago, they said vaccines would sharply reduce coronavirus infections and transmission.”
(Alex Barenson) I’m old enough to remember when vaccines were the miracle that would put Covid behind us.
So are you. Continue reading
“You traded fairness for a George Orwell version of equality. Under the new administration, there are two systems of justice. Protesters on the left can set buildings ablaze, vandalize them and shoplift with impunity. Protesters on the right will be branded, surveilled and prosecuted as domestic terrorists.”
(Jason Chaffetz – Fox News) A little less than a year ago, a significant number of independent and Republican voters decided to trade bad tweets for bad policy. Today, your Twitter feed is void of President Trump‘s tweets. But the price was high. Continue reading
“He also explained how the process worked during an interview with the Epoch Times. Vorhies went on to clarify how these classifiers were trained by people with biases based on what they believed to be fake or misleading news….”
(OAN) A Big Tech whistleblower has spoken out on Google’s latest attempts to censor conservative speech. Zach Vorhies exposed Google and how it changed their news algorithms in order to target President Trump. Continue reading
(Joel B. Pollack – Breitbart) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told reporters less than four weeks before the Taliban entered Kabul that the local military was fully capable of defending Afghanistan from the insurgent Islamic terrorist militia.
In a press conference on July 21, Milley said:
General Milley and his team, along with CENTCOM and many others in the joint force, have paved the path for a safe, orderly and responsible transition. Continue reading
(Protestia) Once again, Revoice is upon us, and once again, their speaker list is suspect. Along with a plethora of gay, lesbian, and transgendered speakers, many who openly insist on using he/him, she/her/, they/them personal pronouns in their bios, we see that Revoice has brought back openly lesbian and Roman Catholic speaker Eve Tushnet to give a message.
Revoice, you’ll recall, suffered a teeth-shattering, cartilage-crushing, skull-splintering blow to the satanic scourge when the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) voted at their 2021 General Conference 1438-417 to adopt Overture 23, which states in full: Continue reading
