Grace Church wins their lawsuit

(Jesse Johnson – The Cripplegate)  This week Los Angeles County and the State of California both agreed to settle their lawsuit with Grace Community Church—the church pastored by John MacArthur and the home to The Master’s Seminary– and pay their legal team $800,000. This was the settlement reached as a result of the County of Los Angeles taking the church to court over COVID restrictions.

If you recall, March 2020 the State of California (along with just about every other state) declared a state of emergency as a result of COVID…. Continue reading

Unintended consequences often lead to crushing reality

“It doesn’t matter what Jen Psaki, the minister of propaganda, or the corrupt corporate media puts forth.  The truth is that only a heroic action in the future by the President could mitigate this colossal screwup. Place your bets now if you think old Joe will deliver heroism.”

(Bill O’Reilly, The Biden Circumstance)  Unintended consequences often lead to crushing reality.  When we do something that doesn’t work out (job, marriage, investment) there is usually hell to pay, as the cliche goes. Continue reading

Top Scientist Claims Anthony Fauci ‘Untruthful’ About Chinese Lab Research

(Simon Kent – Breitbart)  The U.S. government contributed funding to controversial gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, a report alleged Monday.

Why in the World Is the Government Disrupting the Distribution of Monoclonal Antibodies Now?

On Friday, someone who claimed to be an urgent care specialist tweeted that HHS had informed him that the government would now decide which facilities would receive doses of monoclonal antibodies.

(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media)  After demonizing nearly every medication with the potential to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally recommended monoclonal antibodies earlier this summer. Before the official recommendation, some providers used them under an emergency use authorization (EUA) granted by the FDA in November 2020…. Continue reading

After decades of propaganda warfare and Stealth Invasion, the idea of a free America is hanging by a thread

“Will Fauci, Biden, Gates and Company get, in the end, what they were looking for all along, which was to get their serum into the arms of virtually every American and install freedom-crushing digital vaccine passports in every corner of America, making it impossible to buy or sell or work a job without accepting their mark of obedience?”

(Leo Hohmann)  America has been playing with fire for years, disrespecting its Constitution and allowing, even encouraging politicians to pander to the fears of an ever-present boogieman over the higher values of individual freedom and responsibility. Continue reading

Woke Author Tells Rick Warren’s Wife: Make ‘Racial Justice’ Part Of Your Church Membership Process

“If we’re talking about a congregational level, your church has to vocally, publicly, and in a sustained way pursue justice.”

(Protestia) It seems that ever since Ibram X. Kendi, author of the NYT bestseller How to be an Anti-racist, tapped Jemar Tisby to be the Assistant Director of Narrative and Advocacy at the brand new Center for Antiracist Research, that’s he’s gone further and further right in his ideology and rhetoric. Continue reading

Australia State Uses Facial Recognition, Geolocation App to Force Quarantine

“We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes.”

(Charlie Kirk)  Australia has been using draconian measures under the guise of keeping covid cases low to strip citizens of freedom. While Prime Minister Scott Morrison admits “this is not a sustainable way to live in this country” Premier Steven Marshall says “I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.” Continue reading

Like Father, Like Son? Allegations Surface Against Father of Accused Oregon Megachurch Pastor

Jon Courson would make prophecies and predictions, often at New Year’s Eve. Even though these didn’t pan out, Courson wouldn’t apologize. “That’s how these guys operate. They don’t have to give an explanation. No one ever really holds them accountable for really bad things they say.” [And do]

(Rebecca Hopkins) Ben Courson, pastor of an Oregon megachurch, recently stepped down amid allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct. Now, witnesses have come forward with allegations that Ben’s father, Jon Courson—founder of Applegate Christian Fellowship near Medford, Oregon—had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the 1980s. Continue reading

Top Health Officials Push Back Against Biden’s Booster Jabs Plan

By moving ahead unilaterally, the White House usurped the CDC and FDA’s authority over these types of health-related calls…“The recommendation shouldn’t precede the data, which is what happened here. And that’s why people are so upset,” said a source close to the FDA advisory panel who was not authorized to speak on the record.

(Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge)  Just as President Biden was promising to unveil new federal measures for combating the delta variant next week, the NYT dropped a bombshell report claiming that the heads of the CDC and FDA had advised the White House to scale back its plan for booster shots. Continue reading

Chase Bank Unveils New ‘Reputation Risk’ Campaign, Targeting Loyal Customers For Their Political Beliefs

(Revolver)  Over the weekend a stunning image made the rounds online. The photo showed a letter from Chase Bank to Lori Flynn, the wife of Gen. Michael Flynn, informing her that her credit cards were being canceled due to the “reputational risk” she created for the company.

See the letter on the site — also tweets.

Some on the left initially suggested the letter might be a hoax, before concluding that Chase’s decision was legitimate and something to celebrate.  Continue reading

Who’s Really Being Hospitalized?

After admission, I spoke to the nurse on the COVID ward. She was suited up in a plastic yellow disposable gown, teal gloves, and two masks underneath a recirculating personal respiratory system that buzzed so loudly she could barely hear. The nurse told me that she had gotten both vaccines but she was feeling worried: “Two thirds of my patients are fully vaccinated.” 

(Jennifer Margulis) “I’m not going to arm wrestle with the administration about where to put you,” Dr. C., a highly skilled gastroenterologist, said gently to my friend who was in bed in a triage room in the ER. “We just want to get you into a bed so we can figure out what’s wrong and get you treated.” Continue reading

There’s a Problem in the Upper Reaches of Our Military

“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 Sues HHS Over Suspected COVID-19 Cover-Up

“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

Senior Regulators Resign From FDA Over Rushed COVID Booster Rollout

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.

The Media’s Absolute Contempt for Christians

“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

Mohler Breaks Silence on Ed Litton Plagiarism Scandal

(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

Time for Straight Talk

“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

3,000+ Pediatricians, Health Care Workers Sue Biden Over Transgender Mandate

“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

Pro-Antifa High School Teacher in California Admits Communist Indoctrination of Students … ‘I Have 180 Days to Turn Them into Revolutionaries

(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.
