Embittered Jen Hatmaker Reveals She is All-Consumed with Bad Theology and Grumps that People Call Her a ‘Heretic’

Like if somehow you make it through the gates, God is gonna sit there and recite to you all the things you missed, all the things you got wrong, all the chances you squandered. And all your failures, and then reluctantly, God, he would let us in, because he had to, because Jesus. Right? Because Jesus somehow made it okay, and so God had to finally let in these wayward kids that he can barely stand. That’s how it felt.

(Protestia) Jen Hatmaker the popular I’m-pretending-to-be-a-Christian-but-I’m-actually-a-pagan mommy-blogger and podcaster that is quickly climbing the ranks from “Gadfly False Teacher” to “Arch-Heretic,” has continued to out herself as a vessel of inhabitation for shifty-eyed swine who’d rather not go off a cliff, this time as she reflects on her spiritual transition from jewel to Jezebel.

America’s Generals Lied, Lost Wars, And Looted The People They Claimed To Serve

We need accountability. The American people need a full accounting of the military mission to Afghanistan. Only 10 percent of the names of the 600 interviews conducted by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction who gathered the “Afghanistan papers” have been released. That needs to change.

(Josiah Lippencott – The Federalist)  Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress in June that he wanted to understand “white rage,” why “thousands of people” tried “to assault this building and … overturn the Constitution of the United States of America.” Continue reading

Lawyer: Capitol Cop Who Shot Ashli Babbitt ‘Ambushed’ Her on Jan. 6 Without Warning

“More than six months after the shooting, the U.S. Capitol Police still refuse to release the name of the officer. But several sources have identified him as Lt. Michael L. Byrd, a 53-year-old veteran of the force who was serving as commander of the House Chamber Section of the Capitol Police on Jan. 6.” 

(Paul Sperry – RealClearInvestigations) Kicking off the first hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot, Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat,  promised to fully investigate “the facts of what happened on Jan. 6,”  calling it “a scene of violence in the citadel of democracy.” Continue reading

What the heck is going on in this country?

“Every time we think the delusional left can’t get any crazier, these people come up with more abysmal notions that defy common sense and imperil more lives.  How about telling us how imperative it is for us to get vaccinated, wear masks, and engage in social distancing while they invite hundreds of thousands of untested migrants into our country and transport them to cities from coast to coast?”

(Bob Weir – American Thinker)  As the Biden administration continues to peel away the accomplishments of his predecessor, what I hear most from family, friends, and social media posters is a fear that Democrats have become power-mad with their recent ascendancy to a majority position in the House and Senate….

Exposed! ‘Apostle’ Kathryn Krick and ‘Exorcist’ Bob Larson Use Same Crisis Actor to Act ‘Demon-Possessed’

(Protestia)  Two well-known charismatic exorcists have been exposed using the same woman to film multiple demon possession scenes, according to some great investigative work by Brother John Elving.

Kathryn Krick is fast becoming one of the most well-known and popular charismatic huckster apostles, accumulating over 900,000 followers on TikTok and 8.5 million views, with her other socials adding tens of thousands of more followers and fans. According to her website: Continue reading

Why COVID-19 Vaccines Should Not Be Required for All Americans

I’m perplexed at the vitriol directed at folks who are reluctant to get vaccinated. For some, the biggest driver of their hesitancy is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has failed to issue the long-overdue full approval of the COVID-19 vaccines due to stability testing which has nothing to do with safety.

(USNews) COVID-19 vaccine mandates have become a hotly contested issue, as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations rebound nationwide, driven by the highly contagious delta variant and unswerving vaccine hesitancy…. Continue reading

Biden Goes Full Schizophrenic on Ever-Changing COVID Rules and Lies

“What I find totally unacceptable is the lack of action on the part of the Republicans to step up, speak out and then act. This is the time for Donald Trump and his supporters to come together and put together a team of lawyers that relentlessly challenge and litigate this evil.” 

(Larry Johnson – Gateway Pundit) I have referenced the bizarre fantasy of Alice In Wonderland in previous posts about Crazy Joe Biden and his precipitous fall into the depths of dementia, but today took the cake. We have entered a lunatic asylum not envisioned by Lewis Carroll…. Continue reading

The Progressives’ Callous Indifference to the Loss of Small Businesses

Finally, there’s the spectacle of our “woke” cadres who bleed for the oppressed while utterly ignoring the calamity that has befallen many minority business owners destroyed by lockdowns and, more reprehensible, by the burning and looting of their businesses––all on the pretext that “black lives matter.”

(Bruce Thornton – Frontpage)  Last year’s politicized and panicked lockdowns of the economy will be exacting costs for years. From deaths of despair like suicides and drug overdoses, to lost years of learning in schools and psychological fallout from children being isolated––we will be dealing with such consequences of policies that have nothing to do with science, and everything to do with political expediency….

Hillsong Leader Brian Houston Officially Charged with Concealing Fathers Sex Abuse

(Protestia)  Hillsong head honcho Brian Houston, founder of the multi-site mega corp church group Hillsong has been officially charged by police for allegedly concealing and covering up his late father’s well-documented sexual abuse and molestation of children in the 1970’s, alleging that he knew boys were being abused, but did nothing. The NYT explains:

In a statement, the police alleged that Mr. Houston, now 67, “knew information relating to the sexual abuse of a young male in the 1970s and failed to bring that information to the attention of police.” Continue reading

Biden Admin Has Dropped Thousands of COVID+ Illegal Migrants Into Just One Texas Town

Why don’t you do your job? Why don’t you get this border secure? And until you do that, I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID from you.” Gov. Ron DeSantis

(Bryan Preston – PJ Media)  Over the past week we’ve reported on Joe Biden’s COVID hotels. They’re places where the administration is stashing COVID+ illegals without telling local or state authorities, and at least in some cases without even quarantining them. These COVID+ individuals and groups are free to move outside the hotel…. Continue reading

What Difference Does an Inerrant Bible Make?

(R.C. Sproul) Does it matter whether the Bible is errant or inerrant, fallible or infallible, inspired  or uninspired? What’s all the fuss about the doctrine of inerrancy? Why do Christians debate this issue? What difference does an inerrant Bible make?

Before answering that question, we should consider in what way inerrancy doesn’t make a difference. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy states: Continue reading

Barack Obama Scales Back Lavish Birthday Bash as Joe Biden Fails to Contain Coronavirus Delta Variant

“Typical liberal ‘do as I say, not as I do. This is what socialism looks like.”

(Penny Starr- Breitbart)  Former President Barack Obama had planned a lavish, celebrity studded party at his $12 million estate in Martha’s Vineyard to celebrate his 60th birthday. Now the event has been canceled because of the continued spread of the coronavirus Delta variant. Continue reading

Megachurch Pastor (and Moody Bible Institute Trustee) Outlines what Reparations Look like: ‘Free Jobs, Education, Healthcare, and Childcare for 100 Years’

(Protestia)  A pastor in Chicago has finally put some meat on the bones of reparation theology; doing what so many others that have demanded it have refused to do: give specific examples of what ought to be done and what sort of measures ought to be practically implemented by the government in order to grant reparations to black folk.

Given that this is such a central and important theological category, he likewise questions the salvation of anyone who denies that black folk are due reparations, making it indeed a “gospel issue.” Continue reading

Surprise! Jenna Ellis’ Replacement for Controversial ‘Christian’ Conference is Another Trinity Denier, Bringing Total to 4

“4 out of 9 speakers at this conference are Trinity-deniers and at least two of the men that aren’t are unrepentant rogues with explosively troubling personal lives. And they think they can bring Revival to America?”

(Protestia)  With the news that Jenna Ellis has thankfully left the lineup of the controversial ‘America’s Revival’ conference, an event so rife with bad theology, character defects, and misguided spirituality and purpose that it’ll be the closest thing to the Christian version of the Fyre Festival there will ever likely be, organizer Johsua Feuerstein had to find a replacement.

BREAKING: CNN’s Chris Cuomo among Andrew Cuomo advisers who contributed to toxic harassment culture: AG report

The report concluded “the reliance on loyal confidants regardless of their official role in State government” was one of several key factors in creating an environment “where the Governor’s sexually harassing conduct was allowed to flourish and persist.”

(David Rutz – Fox News) CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was part of a team of outside, loyal confidants to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., that contributed to a culture allowing the governor’s “sexually harassing conduct” to “flourish,” a scathing state investigation revealed Tuesday. Continue reading

Beware of Twisted Teachers

“We’re living in an era of history where it’s unpopular to call out the wolves and warn God’s people of error and danger. That work is often viewed as insensitive, mean-spirited, and rude. In order to be a popular pastor in our day, you must be engaging in your personality, willing to entertain people, and always be positive. Interestingly enough, that might work in the world of insurance sales, but it doesn’t pass muster when it comes to the calling of a pastor.”

(Josh Buice – Delivered By Grace) Paul loved the church of Jesus Christ. Undoubtedly he gave his time, energy, and life’s blood in order to preach the gospel of King Jesus, plant churches far and wide, and contend for the faith once delivered to the saints…. Continue reading

Another Partisan Stunt by the U.S. Capitol Police

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness)  Larry Dunn began his testimony last week before the January 6 select committee by asking for a moment of silence in honor of Brian Sicknick.

The U.S. Capitol police officer, testifying under oath, claimed his “fallen colleague . . . died from injuries he sustained in the line of duty defending the Capitol of our beloved democracy.” The committee members and the audience complied. Continue reading

Mask-free Sweden nears zero daily Covid deaths as chief epidemiologist warns against ‘far-reaching conclusions’ about Delta strain

And while US health authorities are pressing Americans in “high transmission” areas to mask up, Sweden dropped its last remaining mask recommendation – related to public transport – on July 1.

(RT) As the CDC urges Americans to mask up against the Delta variant, Sweden’s chief epidemiologist has argued that more data is needed about the strain’s infectiousness. His mask-free nation is hovering at zero Covid deaths per day.

Why Are Globalists And Governments So Desperate For 100% Vaccination Rates?

Remember when governments said that they needed 70% herd immunity or vaccination to stop the lockdowns and mandates? The goalposts have been moves several times and the government “science” changes monthly. Now they claim herd immunity doesn’t matter and demand 100% vaccination….We must ask the question again – Why the relentless government push for total vaccine saturation? It’s not saving lives, and the mandates remain regardless, so why?

(Brandon Smith – Alt-Market.us) I don’t think I am the only person that has noticed it – There has been a sudden deluge of covid vaccination propaganda and vaccine passport propaganda in the past month, more so than I think we have seen since the beginning of this year…. Continue reading

MIT Study: Vaccine Hesitancy Is ‘Highly Informed, Scientifically Literate,’ and ‘Sophisticated’

“Proponents of the vaccine are unwilling or unable to understand the thinking of vaccine skeptics — or even admit that skeptics may be thinking at all. Their attempts to answer skepticism or understand it end up poisoned by condescension, and end up reinforcing it.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media)  Vaccine hesitancy is a big problem, according to the Biden administration.  Less than half the public is fully vaccinated while about 56 percent have received at least one jab. Continue reading

Something Truly Remarkable is Unfolding in France, And It’s Starting to Feel a Little “King Louis-ish”

“Macron is basically telling people, you either take the jab or you lose any shot at a normal life.”

(Revolver)  There’s something remarkable happening in France right now, and it’s starting to feel a little “Louis XVI-ish.”

If you’re not familiar with the French Revolution (May 5, 1789 – November 9, 1799), it was an incredible period of sweeping political and societal change in France. Continue reading

Ariz. AG Brnovich: Democrats And Far-Left Abused Election Law For Years
