Shock Video: Newsom’s ‘Answer’ to Hard L.A. Fire Questions Is to Censor People Asking Them

“Newsom asked Biden, who was in the Oval Office sitting behind the Resolute Desk with Jill Biden and Kamala Harris in the room, to clamp down on the hard questions.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) California Governor Gavin Newsom doesn’t want to answer the hard questions about the L.A. fires, so he wants the question askers to be censored. That’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact. And you can watch him do it right here.

That fact alone should be disqualifying for anyone in or seeking public office, as the current California governor surely hopes to in 2028 when he’ll likely run for president. Continue reading

As Wildfires Rage, Chaos Erupts in Los Angeles Leadership

The wildfires have laid bare a troubling mix of incompetence and corruption at both the state and local levels, with leaders more focused on self-preservation than addressing the crisis. Crowley’s fire department has faced sharp criticism for prioritizing DEI initiatives over essential readiness and preparedness, while Bass has been under fire for her leadership failures and controversial budget cuts.’

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Friday, Mayor Karen Bass reportedly intended to fire Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley after Crowley threw Bass under the bus in an interview. Continue reading

Double-barreled probes of Trump may further boomerang on Democrats, Biden legacy

“Evidence uncovered by House Republicans and Just the News in the intervening years show that, in fact, there is significant documentary evidence that Hunter Biden and his father engaged in an influence peddling scheme in Ukraine while the younger Biden was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.” 

(John Solomon – Just the News) The first Trump term was marked by two impeachments that threatened to tarnish the legacy of his administration, namely, the Ukraine impeachment scandal and the aftermath of Jan. 6. But now, after both of those efforts were undermined by new evidence, their legacy could rebound on President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats. Continue reading

Red Pope Promotes Migrants & Sends Trump-Trashing Cardinal to DC

“Cardinal McElroy, 70, strongly supports Francis’ priorities on refugees, the environment, and welcoming LGBTQ Catholics. He will succeed Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 77, who was the first African-American Archbishop of Washington, DC. He’s in the right place. D.C.’s a sewer of communism.”

(Mary Dowling) The Red Pope said Thursday that migrants shouldn’t be seen as a “problem to be managed.” They should be valued for their dreams and talents. He also sent a Trump-hating, open-border Cardinal to D.C. Continue reading

How To Cause Godly Grief

“The Corinthians’ accusation that Paul was “walking according to the flesh” sounds like the classic super-spiritual response we tend to make when we don’t want to be challenged by something. “Ah, you are being too bold, that’s ‘worldly’; instead, be spiritual, be gentle, be meek. Leave me alone.” Often this can just become a convenient excuse to not face up to the challenge.”

(Aaron Edwards – Clear Truth Media) It’s not uncommon today to hear criticisms of pastors and leaders who have caused some kind of offence. A good deal of the time, these critiques end up stopping leaders from saying things which will cause people offence…. Continue reading

Lesbian Firefighter Victim Blames Men Who She Isn’t Strong Enough to Rescue

“Wildfires are tearing through Southern California as we speak, leaving devastation in their wake. People are losing their homes, their livelihoods, and in some cases, their lives. This is not the time for identity politics.”

(The Dissenter) In a time of crisis, when Los Angeles is being ravaged by relentless wildfires, the people of this region need to hear one thing from their fire department: reassurance. Reassurance that the people sworn to protect them—not to mention, paid by them—are the most capable, prepared, and physically fit professionals available. Continue reading

BREAKING: Trump Sentenced. What’s Next?

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Judge Juan Merchan has sentenced President-elect Donald Trump in a New York NDA case (the so-called “hush money” case). The sentence is an unconditional discharge, which in essence is a sentence in name only.

The Hill reports:

President-elect Trump was spared any punishment for his hush money criminal conviction Friday when a New York judge sentenced him to an unconditional discharge, eschewing jail time while securing his status as the first person convicted of a felony to assume the presidency.  Continue reading

The Wildfire Blame Game

Gov Gavin Newsom’s “gross mismanagement of the nation’s most-populated state is the stuff of legend, but he never misses an opportunity to blame Republicans who have no say in his one-party state. This time, it was to hammer Donald Trump, who Newsom said chose “to politicize it” (by saying true things about Newsom’s governance). Unfortunately for Newsom, he “did the meme.” He grumbled about Trump while standing with the fire behind him on CNN — just like that infamous CNN reporter who explained that the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis were “fiery by mostly peaceful.”

(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) The wildfires raging through Southern California are awful and devastating. At least 130,000 have been evacuated and lost everything. At least five people have died. The footage of burned-out streets or people filming the fires from inside their homes is shocking and harrowing. Continue reading

Social Engineer George Soros Is Using Wikipedia to Distort ‘Facts’

“Soros has spent upwards of $22 billion to achieve his vision of an “open society,” free from traditional societal structures like borders, national identities, and religions.”

(Mary Dowling) Soros-linked operatives tied to the Open Society Foundations have spent the past eight years embedding themselves in top roles at Wikipedia Foundation and transforming the site into a tool for radical social engineering.

He presented his ideology as “fact” and decided he had the right to turn the West into one open border with everyone the same. Continue reading

Wesley Huff Talks Gospel, Jordan Peterson with Joe Rogan

(Anthony Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Within the realm of Christian apologetics, Wesley Huff has had a meteoric rise to prominence after humiliating Billy Carson in a debate, exposing Carson’s intellectual ineptitude. Huff is the Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada. After the debate, his YouTube channel more than doubled to over 271K from well under 100K subs. This garnered the attention of the world’s most influential podcast host, Joe Rogan, who previously had Carson on his program.

Over the course of three hours, Huff does a fantastic job at representing the Christian faith, not only to Rogan, but to his audience…. Continue reading

In 2025, Competency Is In And Corporate Media Are Out

(Jordan Boyd – The Federalist) It’s the year of our Lord 2025, which means we can leave the Constitution-threatening chaos of 2024 behind, right? Wrong!

Unless something is done to curb the democracy-destroying behavior of the Democrats and the deep state, the future of the country is still very much hanging in the balance. Thankfully, a new calendar and a new administration mark another opportunity for Americans to take back what is rightfully theirs. Continue reading

No, Charisma Magazine, Blood Moons Do Not Mean Anything

“The Cahn Man [Jonathan Cahn] is now telling us that three blood moons over the next two years are apparently God’s way of sending a cryptic, apocalyptic message to mankind. According to his claims, these celestial events align perfectly with key Jewish holidays like Purim and Rosh Hashanah—dates he insists hold the secret to divine revelation.”

(The Dissenter) Good grief. Charisma Magazine—which is akin to Joel Osteen at a flea market checking out fake Rolex watches—has once again proven its unquenchable lust for all things sensational, diving headfirst into yet another delirious obsession with whatever glitzy, pseudo-spiritual spectacle will draw in the clicks and the credulous.

And once again, its blood moons … See the image on the site. Continue reading

While Los Angeles Burns, Mayor Bass Parties in Ghana, Fire Chief Fiddles With DEI

“Cutting fire protection in Los Angeles is like turning off tornado warning sirens in Oklahoma City. It might not come back to bite you right away on the rear end, but eventually, it’s guaranteed to.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass went on a junket to Ghana as part of a Biden administration delegation to President John Dramani’s inauguration despite indications that fire season was about to begin.

Bass is reportedly on her way back as of Wednesday morning and “should return to the city within hours,” according to Newsweek…. Continue reading

The Legacy Of Jan. 6 Should Be Massive Reform Of The FBI And DOJ

“One of Trump’s first and most important tasks once he takes office should be to investigate every person at the Justice Department and FBI involved in the Jan. 6 prosecutions for conspiracy against rights. The FBI should be gutted, reformed, and rebuilt from top to bottom. Every DOJ prosecutor who brought charges against Jan. 6 defendants should not just be fired but also investigated for possible criminal charges.”

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) Monday marked the four-year anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, when tens of thousands of peaceful Trump supporters demonstrated outside the U.S. Capitol and a small number of them clashed with police before entering the Capitol itself. Continue reading

Multiple TV Personalities/ Shows Leave Daystar Network Amid Ongoing Scandal

(Protestia) purveyor Daystar Television Network continues to enjoy the fallout from their ongoing scandal, with several shows announcing they are departing or slinking off in silence.

In late November of 2024, Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson announced she and her show Laura-Lynn Live at the Eagle’s Nest were parting ways, which was quickly followed by Baruch Korman of Love Israel.  Since then, others have parted, including arch-heretic Jesse Duplantis, prominent false teachers Hank and Brenda Kunneman, and the false prophet Lance Wallnau. Jack Graham of Powerpoint Ministries has also left. [David Jeremiah has not left] Continue reading

Trump Ascendant

“Donald Trump is perhaps the best-prepared new President in history.  He is laser-locked on fulfilling his campaign promises and has not refined his outlook.  He is likely to dust his critics and govern without subterfuge. Americans will know exactly how the President uses power on a daily basis. Some will not like that.  Donald Trump doesn’t much care.”

(Bill O’Reilly) The most powerful person in the world sits behind a large desk in his personal office.  It is Thursday, January 2, 7:40 in the evening.  President Donald Trump has been active since seven in the morning and now gazes at the six advisers sitting before him at his lavish Mar-a-Lago estate. Continue reading

It’s Official: 2024 Election Has Been Certified

“Ironically, the Democrats with the help of some Republicans previously pushed a law through Congress that requires the vice president to certify an election even if there is significant reason to doubt the legitimacy of official results. This was, of course, a reaction to the contesting of Joe Biden‘s “win” in 2020, but now it ensures that Harris had no alternative but to certify the election. Relegating the VP to “solely ministerial duties” protected and legitimized Democrats’ grip on power then, but now it has apparently backfired.”

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) In a consummation devoutly to be wished, the 2024 election and Donald Trump’s historic win have been certified by none other than Trump’s defeated presidential opponent and current vice president Kamala Harris. Continue reading

Gavin Ortlund Completely Collapses On Roman Catholicism

(DefiantBaptist – Evangelical Dark Web) Over the Christmas season, Gavin Ortlund decided to fully abandon the Reformation, and that’s no exaggeration. Once considered to be a premier Protestant apologist with a focus on countering Roman Catholic claims, Ortlund has lately descended into theological liberalism and far left political views. Now, he is completely undermining his entire apologetic ministry with a video he published called, “Are Catholics Christians? Why Protestants Can Say YES.” Gavin does so by making a three-part argument.

Historic Protestant Views

Ortlund starts off his video by claiming that the view of Catholics being Christians is the historic Protestant view. He does so by pulling various quotes from the reformers as well as some post-Reformation theologians. To be frank, it’s very dangerous to frame an argument this way…. Continue reading

As His Speech Flew Off in the Wind, Trudeau Resigned from the Party

(Mary Dowling) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has officially announced his resignation, and we hope Canadians can get some of their lost freedoms back with a new leader. He will step down as soon as a new leader is chosen. As he approached the lectern, his prepared speech blew away. He then quipped, “I’ll wing it.”

He’s not really leaving exactly. Trudeau resigned from the liberal party and intends to stay on as PM until the election. He asked for a prorogation of Parliament until March 24th, so no one can bother him. He doesn’t have to face their Parliament or the people. Continue reading

Author of ‘Widening of God’s Mercy’ Finds Out Just How Exclusive Jesus Really Is

“Just imagine a man who spent the remaining years of his life arguing against God’s clear commands suddenly standing before Him. The God who thundered from Mount Sinai, whose holiness caused Isaiah to cry, “Woe is me!”—this is the God Hays faced.”

(The Dissenter) Richard B. Hays, a New Testament scholar, was a heavyweight who began his career with what seemed like a solid foundation in conservative biblical theology. His earlier works ostensibly reflected, at least on the surface, a commitment to biblical accuracy. But somewhere along the way, Hays exchanged the truth of God for a lie—a lie dressed in the alluring garb of cultural acceptance. Continue reading

We Need More Jeremiahs

(John Rosemond – Clear Truth Media) It is my prayer that the members of my extended family who need to read this will do so and that it will help them begin to put their worldviews in order. The family members in question are young and full of themselves, convinced, as was I at the same phase of life, that they are smarter than someone like me—a 77-year-old conservative believer in the Lordship of Christ Jesus. It wasn’t until I was well into my middle years that I realized how deceived I had been and took full responsibility for having left the front door open to the deception. Continue reading

Elon’s ‘Trump Tower explosion’ updates shine new light on terror attack…

“A lot of folks are saying that something about this story doesn’t add up. Was he set up? Or was he deeply radicalized by someone—or maybe even a group? There are so many unanswered questions surrounding this attack. There’s definitely some strange things afoot.”

(Revolver) It feels like the wheels are coming off the wagon as we inch closer to President Trump’s inauguration day. Is the Deep State going completely rogue? There have been two back-to-back terror attacks involving former and current members of the US military that have sparked the million-dollar question: Who is radicalizing these men? Continue reading

Timeline and resources on the REAL Dr. Michael Brown.

For decades the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) have been using the Pentecostal and Charismatic ‘sheep skin’ to take over churches and suppress Christians or Christian groups/churches that have opposed them. Dr. Brown is one of the best examples of being one of its enablers who has used his ‘influential position’ and ‘Pentecostal/Charismatic’ sheepskin to further the cause of the NAR.

(Church Watch Central) This article is a repository of relevant documents, videos, PDFs, reports, tweets and posts that are relevant to the controversial life and ministry of [recently disgraced] Dr. Michael Brown. Its timeline and resources are available for everyone to use for their content creator needs.

Dr Michael Brown, his FIRE Church and Line of Fire (LOF) program is a practical example as to why the New Apostolic Reformation cult is quite prepared to lie for its cause to further spread its tentacles across the USA and other parts of the world. Continue reading

Todd Bentley Says He’s Been Given The Authority to ‘Cancel Death’ + Heal Terminal Illnesses

(Protestia) Todd Bentley, the famous false teacher and wolf extraordinaire (see endnotes), has unveiled his latest scheme to capitalize on his recent emergency hospital stay, claiming that his experiences gave him the power and authority to “cancel death” and cure terminal illnesses.

Six weeks ago, Bentley was taken to the hospital by ambulance after experiencing unexpected seizures. Within a day he’d recover, claiming he’d been miraculously healed. Apart from using this event as a fundraiser, we wondered how he would spin this to take advantage of the goodwill.

And now we know. Continue reading
