Will the Madness of 2020 Last?

“Before 2020, the American people tired of the media farces surrounding such events as the Duke lacrosse team, the lies about the Covington kids, and Jussie Smollett’s hoax about being attacked by white racists. Will they return to their earlier skepticism about media hype when it increasingly seems like the media and the government mostly lied when denying the possibility that the coronavirus leaked from a Wuhan lab engaged in “gain-of-function” engineering of dangerous viruses?” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  The COVID-19 pandemic is ending with mass vaccinations. So is the national quarantine. The rioting, looting and arson that began in the summer of 2020 is finally sputtering out. Continue reading

Pope Calls for ‘Ecological Spirituality’ to care for ‘Mother Earth’

Like some grotesque morphing of Roman Catholicism, the New Apostolic Reformation’s Seven-Mountain Mandate, and the Democrats’ Green New Deal, Francis reveals that there are seven sectors of the church that need to be pulling together. These are “parishes and dioceses – schools and universities – hospitals – businesses and farms – organizations, groups and movements – religious institutes.”

(Protestia)  The capitalism-hating, socialism-loving Vicar of the Roman Catholic Church has come up with a seven-year plan to greenify the world and heal “Mother Earth” on account of the “wounds that we cause by our predatory attitude, which makes us feel that we are masters of the planet and its resources,” in order to “inaugurate a lifestyle and a society that is finally eco-sustainable.” Continue reading

Systemic Marxism: Biden Admin Allows BLM flags to Fly on Federal Buildings

“Despite the documented actions of BLM protestors during the riots of 2020, and despite the New York Times reporting on their organization’s declining popularity with American voters, our federal  government has nonetheless decided to endorse and promote an organization with admitted Marxist roots as one having ties to our official foreign offices.”

(Kevin Downey Jr – PJ Media)  The war on police has been brutal and now it’s insulting. In a time when a pro-2nd Amendment police captain was fired for supporting constitutional carry legislature, a Virginia police lieutenant was fired for donating to Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense fund, and a DEA agent was fired for being in the capital, (not the capitol), on January 6th, the State Department is giving the thumbs up to fly the BLM flag.

Media Pathetically Creates a Biden We All Know Isn’t There

“Imagine this slow-thinking, barely coherent president in charge during a crisis that requires quick decision-making and clear communication. You can bet our enemies are doing just that right now.”

(Steven Kruiser – PJ Media)  My entry into the world of writing about conservative politics more than twenty years ago was prompted by a most righteous indignation about liberal media bias. If a time when that bias wasn’t awful existed, no one alive today is old enough to remember it. Continue reading

Hillsong CEO Says It’s ‘Unfortunate’ to Represent What the Bible Says About Homosexuality

“The position Houston took echos what former NYC pastor, Carl Lentz, stated last year–that he may be open to affirming homosexuality and abortion in the future. Hillsong has a history of being less-than-conservative on homosexuality. In 2014,…” 

(Reformation Charlotte)  Hillsong Church–a worldwide megachurch corporation that has been plagued with sex scandal after sex scandal based out of Sydney, Australia–has been in the media spotlight for the last several months as the church’s public image has become increasingly tarnished.

Mild COVID-19 cases can lead to antibody protection for life

(Chris Melore)  It’s never a good day to find out you have COVID-19, but a new study finds there is likely a silver lining to contracting the virus. Researchers say patients with mild cases of coronavirus still have antibodies protecting them from reinfection nearly a year later. In fact, a team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis believes this protection from COVID will likely last for the rest of their lives.

Researchers explain that initial reports claiming COVID antibodies fade away quickly after an infection did not have all the facts. Their findings reveal that although the number of immune cells making antibodies drops once the patient is healthy, they never totally go away. Continue reading

COVID-19 Vaccine Manufacturers Make a Fortune, Produce Nine New Billionaires

The vaccine rollout has been a bonanza for drug manufacturers, making the production of COVID-19 vaccines one of the most lucrative businesses these days.

Reportedly, Moderna’s share price has gained more than 700 percent since February 2020. Pfizer stock price has surged nearly 50 percent since last year, while its German partner, BioNTech, went from a startup to a multibillion-dollar company in just months, whose share price grew by 600 percent. Chinese CanSino Biologics’ stock is up about 440 percent over the same period. Continue reading

Prophecy Speculation for the Umpteenth Time

As we all know, there are MANY views on the end times. So why not hear other people out who don’t share your view? Then weigh what they say by going to the Bible to see what the Holy Spirit has revealed regarding the Second Coming of Christ. How will you discover the truth if you don’t read and study the scriptures? If and when you debate someone who disagrees with your view, remember Peter’s admonition to be gentle and respectful of that person. “But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15

So with this in mind, Gary DeMar offers his view of prophecy in a piece over at American Vision. He writes: Continue reading

Treason, blackmail, and the wars to come

“The development comes as billionaire Bill Gates, a close friend of Epstein, is divorcing his wife, with reports emerging of a more substantial Bill Gates relationship with Epstein. Gates, a big backer of the United Nations and personal friend of Barack Hussein Obama, had issued a statement trying to excuse his Epstein association.”

(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America)  China Joe Biden is selling out America so fast that it’s hard to keep up with new developments. Continue reading

Sen. Ted Cruz Warns: Wokism Is Emasculating Our Military and Threatening America’s Survival

US Defense Watch photo

(Selwyn Duke – New American)  Leftists are “trying to destroy the American military” and “turn it … into a bunch of pansies.” So warned Senate Foreign Affairs Committee member Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Friday, responding to a new, outrageously politically correct U.S. Army recruitment ad. Featuring an animated portrayal of a true story of a “little girl, raised by two moms,” the ad signals how the military has thoroughly transitioned from sexual rectitude to “Don’t ask, don’t tell” to, finally, “Will tell — you better approve.”

The Daily Mail summarizes the story, writing:  Continue reading

Judge rules Christian college must follow Biden rule opening dorms, showers to opposite sex

“For decades, the College has prohibited male students from living in female dormitories, and vice versa, regardless of whether those students identify with their biological sex. The College likewise separates intimate spaces such as showers and bathrooms in its dormitories.”

(Alex Swoyer – The Washington Times)  A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a Christian college’s request to halt the Biden administration’s directive on gender identity in dwellings. Continue reading

‘Horrible things are happening right before our eyes’: The left is NORMALIZING pedophilia, child sex trafficking

“Of course, this has been branded as a conspiracy theory. But the people it exposes are the very people that seek to control the dominant narrative. And now that we have the facts, we can no longer sweep it under the rug as we’ve done for so many years. It’s not about politics. It’s about certain bad individuals having so much power that horrible things are happening right before our eyes.”

(The Blaze)  Buried underneath the left’s favorite tag lines “love is love” and “asylum is a human right,” a much more sinister movement is growing: the normalization of pedophilia. Continue reading

Post NAR Traumatic Stress

(Rick Becker – Famine In The Land)  When God delivers people from various forms of deception and apostate movements such as the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) or any other spiritually abusive group, a painful process begins. The transition from living in the clutches of deception, into truth and freedom is a journey fraught with pitfalls. Make no mistake, what people have been through in these movements or by submitting to false teachers is spiritual abuse. Exiting a spiritually abusive church can have severe effects such as PTSD symptoms. Furthermore, although abusive leaders are a false spiritual authority, they represent God to the deceived….

Everything Is Sexualized: LEGO Now Features an LGBTQ+ Set With a Drag Queen

“This effort by LEGO, which is alleged to make them appear more “inclusive,” alienates customers like me, who don’t need to be constantly exposed to corporate virtue signaling.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media)  Want to know what’s more painful than stepping on a LEGO brick barefoot? The beloved toy company pandering to the LGBTQ community with a new LGBTQ-themed set. According to various reports, the Billund, Denmark, company, will launch “Everyone Is Awesome” in time for “Pride Month.” Continue reading

Officers Guarding Epstein During Death Admit They Falsified Records, Cut Pending Deal With No Jail Time

(Ryan Saavedra – Daily Wire)  The two prison guards — Tova Noel and Michael Thomas — assigned to guard Jeffrey Epstein on the night that he died have admitted that they falsified prison records and have cut a deal with federal prosecutors.

“As part of the deal with prosecutors, they will enter into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department and will serve no time behind bars,” The Associated Press reported…. Continue reading

Nobel Prize Winner Warns Vaccines Facilitate Development of Deadlier COVID Variants, Urges Public to Reject Jabs

Luc Montagnier, a French virologist and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has recently exposed the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines. Montagnier discussed the issue in an interview with Pierre Barnérias of Hold-Up Media earlier this month, which was exclusively translated from French into English for RAIR Foundation USA….

Will Vaccine Passports be America’s Version of Yellow Badges?

“The worry is that digital records can be used to track people. Cyberattacks and data glitches could reveal private medical information. Worst of all, vaxxports create a two-tiered society. Those who choose not to be vaccinated – for religious reasons or because the non-FDA approved vaccines are of dubious safety and efficacy – wont be able to move about freely and lead normal lives.”

(Janet Levy – American Thinker)  With millions of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, a national debate now rages over vaccine passports” (or vaxxports) that privilege those who have taken the jab.”…. Continue reading

The Age of Coercive Control: We’re in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government. Now What?

(Megan Fox – PJ Media)  I know what you’re thinking. “We weren’t expecting the ‘Age of Coercive Control.’ We have iPhones. There are robots that run our lives —like the Jetsons, only with fewer flying cars. We’re so advanced! We just came off the Age of Information and Globalization and we expected an Age of Enlightenment to follow!”

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you haven’t figured it out yet, we’re entering the Dark Side. As I’ve been observing humanity since the pandemic began I’ve come to the conclusion that the proper name for the age we are currently in is the Age of Coercive Control. Continue reading

Blood Moons: Prophets Who Persist in Prophesying Falsely

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network)  A total lunar eclipse will occur May 26, 2021 and will be visible in North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. Some call the full moon “Super Flower Blood Moon.” The moon will turn a reddish color; thus the term Blood Moon. It will be the second of 2021’s two supermoons and it is going to be the largest and brightest moon of 2021.

EarthSky writer Bruce McClure examines the Blood Moon phenomena in “What’s A Blood Moon?” McClure informs us that:

Around the year 2013, when the expression Blood Moon first gained widespread popularity, a Blood Moon didn’t refer to just any total lunar eclipse, but to a member of a special series: four totally eclipsed moons in a row, each separated by six lunar months, with no partial lunar eclipses in between. Such a series is called a lunar tetrad [four things in a row]. Two Christian pastors popularized the term Blood Moon in their book, in which they discussed the upcoming lunar tetrad (April 14 and October 8, 2014; April 8 and September 28, 2015) in apocalyptic terms.

The four lunar eclipses came and went, and, although the world didn’t end, we gained another dubious meme: Blood Moon.

It’s not that the words “blood” and “moon” never appeared together in the same sentence before 2013, especially as regards eclipses. A full moon nearly always appears coppery red during a total lunar eclipse. That’s because the dispersed light from all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets falls on the face of the moon at mid-eclipse. For some decades at least, it’s been common for astronomy writers like us to describe an eclipsed moon as blood red. You just didn’t, until recently, hear the same eclipsed moon called a Blood Moon.

John Hagee and Mark Biltz, “spoke of the 2014-2015 lunar tetrad as representing a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. After all, the moon is supposed to turn blood red before the end times, isn’t it?”  These men speculated that this would fulfill the last days prophecies in Joel 2:28-32: “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.  The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes” and the passage from Revelation 6:12: ”When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood.”

“That description,” says McClure, “sounds like two different astronomical events: a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse. Sun turned to darkness = moon directly between the Earth and sun in a total solar eclipse. Moon turned to blood = Earth directly between the sun and moon, Earth’s shadow falling on the moon in a total lunar eclipse. Solar and lunar eclipses are very ordinary and frequent happenings that have occurred many times in our lifetimes. In fact, every year there are four to seven eclipses, some lunar, some solar, some total, some partial.”

Later in his article McClure answers the burning question: How common is a tetrad of total lunar eclipses? Continue reading

Rachel Hollis’s Problem Isn’t Privilege, It’s An Anti-Christian Gospel

Here is the biggest problem with Rachel Hollis: Her entire brand, from her self-help books emphasizing self-care and self-love, to her merchandise, to her videos, to her public speeches, is built on self-congratulatory screeds with the message “you control your life” mingled with a Joel Osteen-eque prosperity gospel. “I absolutely refuse to watch you wallow,” Hollis writes at the beginning of “Girl, Wash Your Face.” “I want to shout at the top of my lungs until you know this one great truth: you are in control of your own life.”

(Kylie Zemple – The Federalist)  Self-help author, self-described media mogul, and self-proclaimed Christian Rachel Hollis is in a bit of a PR mess this week after wading into some bad social media optics and then doubling down, but contrary to what the race-baiters and even Hollis herself think, racial insensitivity isn’t her biggest problem.
