Naming the Capitol Cop Who Killed Unarmed Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli Babbitt
“In many instances, when a law enforcement officer kills an individual for any reason, that officer’s name is publicly released. But not in the case of Ashli Babbitt. Instead, there is a determined effort to cover up the full circumstances of this homicide.”
(Paul Sperry – RealClearInvestigations) Most police departments — including Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police — are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting. Not the U.S. Capitol Police, which is controlled by Congress and answers only to Congress. It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely. Continue reading
Standing with the Little Guys
“At a time when Biblically faithful colleges and seminaries are under incredible pressure to conform to this world just to survive, it is vital that we do not compromise the truth and morality of the Christian faith.”
(Barry York – Gentle Reformation) As part of my duties as president of our denominational seminary, over the last month I attended the national meetings of several NAPARC churches…. Continue reading
Are Climate Lockdowns Next?
“Marc Morano also said the radical left Senate Majority leader, Chuck Schumer is urging Biden to declare a national climate emergency. Why? Just like a blue-state governor, Biden would then be able to use emergency powers.”
(David Fiorazo) If you think government, media, and Hollywood propaganda on ‘the shot’ and ‘staying safe’ is bad now, get ready. We may soon be seeing what some are calling “climate lockdowns.”…. Continue reading
Wake Me When It’s Over
“Being woke is a time-consuming hobby. You have to be constantly vigilant, on guard against racist behavior by white folks. You must be easily offended by the un-woke and point out their many, many mistakes.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Where are all these woke people? I can’t find them. I’ve looked and even asked some acquaintances: “are you woke?”
No one will admit it. Continue reading
Joint Chiefs Chairman Compared Trump to Hitler, MAGA to Nazi ‘Brownshirts’
In the lead-up to a pro-Trump “Million MAGA March” protest in November, Milley compared the protesters to the Nazi “brownshirts,” the militia that fueled Hitler’s rise to power. The Joint Chiefs chairman told staff that he feared the protest “could be the modern American equivalent of ‘brownshirts in the streets.’”
(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) After the 2020 election, Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, compared President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and Trump’s supporters in the MAGA movement to Nazi brownshirts. This only further underscores conservative fears about President Joe Biden’s efforts to root out “extremism” in the military. Continue reading
Trump Winds and Biden Whirlwinds
“Why in our 233rd year of the republic are Democrats so intent to destroy the Electoral College, pack the court, admit new states to the Union, junk the filibuster, and federalize national election laws? What was so wrong with assimilation, integration, intermarriage, the “content of our character,” and race as incidental rather than essential to who we are? What has the woke revolution offered us instead?”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Victimizers quickly becoming victims is a recurrent theme of Thucydides’ history. In his commentary on the so-called stasis at Corcyra, he offers his most explicit warning about the long-term dangers of destroying legal institutions, customs, and traditions that serve the common good for short-term gain.

id the Little Guy Really Win? – The 48th PCA General Assembly
There are enough loopholes in the proposed changes to continue to allow Side B Homosexuals to continue as officers in the PCA (or be admitted to the PCA). All a man needs to do is to say that his identity in Christ is greater than his identity as a homosexual. All he has to say is that he struggles with this sin, that he knows that some have been delivered from it, and that he wishes to make progress over this sin – but he has not.
(Larry Ball – Aquilla Report) I appreciate all the optimism of my brethren in the PCA who view the recent results of the PCA General Assembly as a win for our denomination. In some ways, I too rejoice with them. On a number of issues, indeed there were wins. The little guy stood up! Continue reading
‘Dumb Dogs’ in the Pulpit: Spurgeon on Borrowed Sermons
“Spurgeon would spend much of the night studying the Scriptures, trying out different “skeletons” (sermon outlines), and praying for the Spirit to guide him in preparing the sermon.”
(Geoff Chang – The Spurgeon Center) Iain Murray once observed that Spurgeon wrote and preached so much that people can basically cherry-pick quotes from his works to support virtually any position, even those he would’ve adamantly opposed…. Continue reading
Surviving In A World Gone Mad
(Judi McLeod – Canada Free Press) How to survive in a world gone mad? It starts with refusing to be duped by governments, their bureaucracies and the media. A virus, hyped as a pandemic—with a 99 percent recovery rate—isn’t going to kill off the world—no matter what ‘scientists’ a la Dr. Anthony Fauci predict.
Fauci, his pal Bill Gates and their ilk need to spray lots of Windex on their smoggy crystal balls. Continue reading
Who’s the Fascist? Biden Admin Wants Text Messages Policed for Vaccine ‘Misinformation’
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Fascism founding father Benito Mussolini once summarized his ideology thus: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” This comes to mind when considering that the Democrat establishment has been doing an end run around the First Amendment, using Big Tech as a proxy to stifle dissenting views. Now there’s a new front in this battle, too: Continue reading
Hunter Biden’s Laptop Confirms ‘Joe Biden Was a Direct Beneficiary’ of His Son’s Deals
(Robert Kraychik – Breitbart) Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), said on Monday that his organization had confirmed that President Joe Biden “was a direct beneficiary” of Hunter Biden’s financial deals with foreign interests.
“We do have a copy, by the way, here at GAI of [Hunter Biden’s] laptop and all the files,” Schweizer said on the Sean Hannity Show. “It confirms that Joe Biden was a direct beneficiary.” Continue reading
Educators face termination for proposing male-only, female-only bathrooms in schools
(Greg Piper – Just The News) Oregon educators are fighting for their jobs after starting a campaign to keep biological males and females in their own school restrooms and locker rooms and make it optional for school employees to use their students’ preferred gender pronouns.
Assistant principal Rachel Damiano and science teacher Katie Medart of North Middle School face a pre-termination hearing before the school board Thursday…. Continue reading
San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus tries to crush the ‘Evangelical Dark Web’ for exposing some of them as sex offenders
(Protestia) A day after the Evangelical Dark Web exposed the fact that the notorious San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus (SFGMC) included registered sex offenders on the rolls, as well as posting videos critical of the sodomite singers, they manually filed a DMCA takedown request on YouTube against him, in a bid to remove the critical post.
The SFGMC, you’ll recall, had a recent video go viral after singing of their intent to convert and groom children into their homosexual ideology including such lines as: Continue reading
Pentagon Pauses Its Woke Soul-Searching PowerPoints Long Enough to Notice that Afghanistan Is Falling to the Taliban
(Bryan Preston – PJ Media) With Tucker Carlson sparring with the National Security Agency and critical race theory becoming a hot topic among school boards nationwide, the Pentagon took time out from its own divisive and unit-wrecking extremism lectures long enough to notice that the Taliban is sweeping across Afghanistan. Fox reports:
Pentagon officials are watching the Taliban’s sweeping advances in Afghanistan “with deep concern” and are encouraging its Afghan partners to “step up” and defend their country amid the pullout of U.S. forces, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said Sunday.
NAR ‘Apostle’ Bill Johnson’s Wife’s Cancer Has Returned
In April 2017, while singing “By the Blood,” Beni Johnson’s daughter-in-law, Jenn Johnson, asked members of Bethel Church in Redding CA to pray for a “cancer free zone” during a worship service. Four years later Beni is undergoing chemo. Protestia has the story:
Bethel Church Head Honcho Bill Johnson has announced that his wife and co-pastor of Bethel Church is presently undergoing chemotherapy as a result of 3 large tumors inside her body that were revealed by a CT scan. Continue reading
Eric Metaxas Has Completely Lost It
“This false gospel of believing that we can create our own existence through our faith is heretical.”
(Reformation Charlotte) Eric Metaxas used to be someone who, while not completely devoted to sound doctrine, his version of “mere Christianity” at least fell somewhere between the bounds of orthodoxy–even if grazing the very edge of it. In recent years, however, that can no longer be the case. Like Max Lucado, Metaxas has traded the gospel for politics like Francis Chan, for an extra-biblical experiential high. Continue reading
We’re Coming for Your Children’ Songwriting Team Forced to Cancel Musical Accused of ‘Romanticizing’ Afghan Dancing Boys
“Sohne and Rosser created a musical in 2016 about “bacha bazi” or “boy play,” a custom in Afghanistan involving child sexual abuse between older men and young adolescent males or boys—known as dancing boys. The boys are trained to dance seductively in front of older men at parties and are often sexually abused.”
(Debra Heine – American Greatness) The same songwriting team that wrote an appalling song for the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus mocking parents’ fears that they’re “coming for your children,” were forced to cancel production of a play last year about the “dancing boys” of Afghanistan after it sparked a massive outcry from Afghans who perceived it as romanticizing sexual abuse. Continue reading
Southern Baptist Elites May Be Woke, But Southern Baptists Are Not
“From the podium, outgoing president J.D. Greear and Resolutions Committee Chairman James Merritt both tried to embarrass Baptists who dared to raise concerns about CRT. Both suggested these voters were afraid of persons of color when no such fears had been expressed.”
(Mark DeVine – The Federalist) “India is the most religious country in the world, Sweden is the most secular country in the world, and America is a country of Indians ruled by Swedes.” The late dean of American sociologists of religion Peter Berger would have trouble defending his most famous observation today, but his aphorism eerily reflects current conditions within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)….

New Evidence Indicates Enough Illegal Votes In Georgia To Tip 2020 Results
“Mark Davis, who has testified as an expert witness multiple times in disputed election cases, believes Trump might have won a challenge to the Georgia election results had a court actually heard his case.”
(Margot Cleveland – The Federalist) New evidence indicates that more than 10,300 illegal votes were cast in Georgia in the November 2020 general election — a number that will continue to rise over the next several months, potentially exceeding the 12,670 votes that separated Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Continue reading
Ed Litton Is Disqualified From The Pastorate, But Is He Even A Christian?
“By mid-day on that day, Reformation Charlotte’s story hit the national radio airwaves as Todd Starnes and Robert Jeffress offered commentary and denounced Litton’s and Greear’s statements. By the end of the day, the news had lit social media on fire and others, including Pastor Gabe Hughes, had tweeted it out.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) On June 15th, the Southern Baptist Convention elected Harry Edward (Ed) Litton Jr., the lead pastor of Redemption Church in Saraland, Alabama, as the president of the nation’s largest non-Catholic denomination…. Continue reading
Buckle Up, Democrats: The Left’s Demoralizing Attacks on Conservatives May Reap the Whirlwind
Many Trump supporters “don’t know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, etc would lie to them “if” it happened. “They watched the press behave like animals for four years. Tens of millions of people will always see Kavanaugh as a gang rapist, based on nothing, because of CNN. And CNN seems proud of that. They led a lynch mob against a high school kid. They cheered on a summer of riots.”

The Mean New Deal
“It’s all pretty depressing and meaningless, pardon the pun. Our media culture is flat-out nasty, blatantly sadistic, and getting worse.”
(Bill O’Reilly) A few months ago, Disney executives held a secret meeting with members of the ABC News program “The View.” Things had become so hateful on the morning program that some Disney board members were loudly complaining.
The message delivered was “knock off the hate, ladies.”
The rise of a generation of censors: Law schools the latest battlement over free speech
Elie Mystal, who writes for ATL and is The Nation’s justice correspondent…lashed out at “white society” and how he strives to maintain a “whiteness-free” life. On MSNBC, Mystal declared, without any contradiction from the host, that “You don’t communicate to [Trump supporters], you beat them. You do not negotiate with these people, you destroy them.”
(Jonathan Turley – The Hill) Free speech on American college campuses has been in a free fall for years. From high schools through law schools, free speech has gone from being considered a right that defines our society to being dismissed as a threat…. Continue reading
