An embarrassing day for the White House press corps

The reporters did not ask a single question about the COVID pandemic. Not one. Not about vaccines. Not about masks. Not about economic effects. Not about schools. Nothing. There was no explanation for it, other than perhaps the reporters who were selected to ask questions were remarkably out of touch with the American people, who consistently list the pandemic as the most important issue facing the country today. 

(Byron York) There was a huge buildup before President Biden’s first formal news conference Thursday. Why had he waited 64 days to meet the press? Were his White House press handlers worried he would commit some classic Biden gaffes? Would he do just that? Continue reading

Secret Service inserted itself into case of Hunter Biden’s gun

Hunter responded “no” to a question on the transaction record that asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Five years earlier, he had been discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine, and he and family members have spoken about his history of drug use.

(Tara Palmeri & Ben Schreckinger – Politico) On Oct. 23, 2018, President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and daughter in law Hallie were involved in a bizarre incident in which Hallie took Hunter’s gun and threw it in a trash can behind a grocery store, only to return later to find it gone.

Voddie Baucham Update – One Month Post-op – ‘I am No Longer on a Path to a Heart Transplant’

(Protestia)  Voddie Baucham has given an update on how he’s doing one-month post-op, explaining that things are going well and he’s no longer on a path to needing a heart transplant.

Speaking from his car, Voddie shared with his followers that his wife Bridget went back to Zambia, got the kids, and that the whole family is living with them in a bed and breakfast in Jacksonville so they can be close by the Mayo Clinic while he undergoes weekly tests and cardiac rehab, made possible by the nearly $1,500,000 dollars raised on his GoFundMe account.

Marine Corps Officer Warns Congress Against Classifying Christians in Military as ‘Religious Extremists’

(Mark Tapscott – Epoch Times) A slide used in a Department of Defense (DOD) training manual identifies Catholics and evangelical Christians as “religious extremists,” along with members of the Ku Klux Klan, al-Qaeda, and Hamas, according to a Marine Corps officer.

“First Liberty also obtained a screenshot of an unclassified slide from a U.S. Army training manual. The slide is entitled ‘Religious Extremism’ and it purports to identify religious extremists,” Michael Berry told the House Armed Services Committee, during a hearing on March 24 titled “Extremism in the Military.” Continue reading

US Appeals court rules Americans don’t have right to open carry guns in public

Responding to the decision, the National Rifle Association tweeted, “The US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit just ruled that THERE IS NO RIGHT TO CARRY – either openly or concealed in public. This ruling impacts RTC laws in AK, HI, CA, AZ, OR, WA, & MT. This was not an NRA case but we are exploring all options to rectify this.”

(Ryan Morgan – American Military News)  On Wednesday, an en banc panel of the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that the second amendment right to keep and bear arms does not include the right to carry a firearm, either openly or concealed, in public. Continue reading

Disney Preps ‘National Treasure’ Series with Latina ‘DREAMer’ Who Will ‘Explore Identity’

(Warner Todd Huston – Breitbart)  Disney has given the green light to reboot the National Treasure movie franchise into a TV series that will star a Hispanic female DREAMer, who will explore “historical authorship and identity.”

National Treasure, starring Nicholas Cage, spawned two hit films in 2004 and 2007, and a third film has been long-gestating. But now Disney has taken the concept in a new direction with an upcoming series destined for its streaming service, Disney+, according to Deadline. Continue reading

Charismatic Prophet Says He’s Michael Jackson’s Lawyer in Heaven, Where the ‘King of Pop’ Dances for Jesus Despite Witch and Warlock Plot

(Protestia)  In a tale as old as time, a charismatic prophet claims that God took him to heaven, where he took on the assignment of interceding for Michael Jackson who became saved before he died and now dances and sings for Jesus in heaven, despite a plot by a coven of witches and warlocks to make YouTube video’s saying he was in hell.

Naturally, these comments were made to Steven Shultz of Elijah List Ministries, who’s taking a break from interviewing Kat Kerr and found himself out of the frying pan and into the fire…. Continue reading

USA Today Says Christian Values are ‘Archaic,’ Wants Christian School Oral Roberts Banned

“Not only is Oral Roberts opposed to the NCAA’s worldly values, but it should be banned from competition by the association that governs college sports, the writer demands. She further shames Oral Roberts for not personifying the social justice “equality” slogan emblazoned on the NCAA Tournament basketball courts.”

(Jay Maxon – LifeSiteNews)  Attacking the values of Christian universities is now an annual rite and ritual of March Madness media coverage. With “archaic” rules that are wildly out of touch with modern society, Oral Roberts University (ORU) is called out for banning by USA Today’s For The Win publication. Continue reading

Former Pentagon Program Chief: UFO Report Will Be ‘Compelling’

“The second option is an adversarial technology, which if you were to ask me, would be a huge intelligence failure of this country because we were technologically product or the third is something completely different: if it is not ours and not theirs then it is someone or something else.”

(Sandy Fitzgerald – Newsmax)  A little-known stipulation of the $2.3 trillion appropriations bill signed in December mandated that a report detailing what the government knows about UFOs be released this year. Continue reading

A Muslim Terrorist From the Capital of ISIS Shot Up a Supermarket. Biden Blames Guns

(Daniel Greenfield – Frontpage Magazine)  Two years ago, Ahmad Al-Issa shared a post titled, “Why refugees and immigrants are good for America.” On Monday, the Syrian Muslim immigrant shot up a supermarket killing ten Americans.

Biden declared that he was “still waiting for more information regarding the shooter, his motive, the weapons he used. The guns, the magazines, the weapons, the modifications that have apparently taken place to those weapons that are involved here.” Continue reading

True ‘Compassion’ Requires Secure Borders and Stopping Illegal Immigration

Countless businesses have been destroyed. Despite the enormous challenges facing America’s working class, those same masters of the universe and the politicians they fund are still looking for the same thing: cheap foreign labor. No one seems to care that many migrants test positive for COVID every day and will directly compete with our struggling service sector workers.

(J.D. Vance – Newsweek) In June 2015, Donald Trump rode down the infamous escalator at Trump Tower to announce his presidential bid. Like a lot of people, I didn’t know what to think. From the start, I appreciated his populist instincts on trade and immigration, as well as his hard-line approach to China. But he was a former Democrat and his style seemed too abrasive, and I said as much. Surely, I thought, we can fix our broken politics with a more traditional Republican. Continue reading

John Piper Gives Glowing Endorsement to IHOPKC Heretic, Mike Bickle, Says Francis Chan

The lack of discernment among mainstream Evangelical leaders is beyond astonishing. The Scriptures are clear–even Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:!4). We don’t judge false teachers based on how nice they are–we judge them based on their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20). 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  If you don’t know who Mike Bickle is, he’s the founder of the charismatic organization known as International House of Prayer (IHOPKC) which is headquartered in Kansas City. Bickle, a former Kansas City pastor, founded the organization after he claimed a man named Augustine approached him, and “prophesied” to his congregation with astonishing accuracy about the state of his church. Continue reading

Predator Comedian John Crist Back on the ‘Christian’ Circuit

(Protestia)  Comedian John Crist, once the darling of the evangelical world before his reputation tanked and burst into flames after allegations of sexual misconduct came to light, has returned to the stand-up and speaking circuit after spending a short time in time-out on account of deep-seated sins.

Crist, a popular Christian entertainer known for his comedy routines and hip ethos, had his life and career come to a grinding halt 16 months ago after Charisma News broke the story that a host of women were alleging some very unsavory things, including harassing and manipulating young women, “sexting” multiple partners at the same time, committing adultery and fornication, and bribing women with tickets to his shows in exchange for sexual favors. Charisma was adamant about the story, and had the receipts to prove it. Continue reading

Breaking! Pastor James Coates is Out after Paying $1500 Fine

(Protestia)  A judge has begrudgingly agreed to accept the joint submission between the Crown prosecutors and James Coates’ defense team, while adding another $1400 for good measure.

This ensures the Edmonton-based Gracelife Church pastor is able to leave the prison without having to agree to the previous conditions that were on his release, including not stepping foot on church property. He is expected to be on this side of the bars in a matter of hours. Continue reading

He is one of the most passionate vaccine advocates in the world, having taught and worked extensively in virology his entire life in both the vaccine development industry and the non-profit sector, including with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GAVI, where he focused specifically on vaccine programs and product development partnerships for immune interventions in global health. Bossche currently has a fundamental warning regarding lockdown methodology and, more importantly, the mass COVID-19 vaccine rollout….. Continue reading

Hunter Biden had business ties with Xi Jinping himself, bombshell email reveals

“Now, one other thing that we found very difficult when we were looking at this was, how was Hunter communicating with his handlers in Beijing? How was he making that connection?” 

(Raymond Wolf – LifeSiteNews) — Stunning revelations about Hunter Biden and his family’s notorious business dealings came to light in this week’s episode of the John-Henry Westen Show during an interview with Jack Maxey, former co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room and one of the first people to go through the contents of Biden’s alleged laptop last October.

Leftist Media Bias Is a Threat to Democracy, Judge Warns in Scathing Dissent

“Silberman also noted the tremendous influence “Silicon Valley” enjoys over “the distribution of news. And it similarly filters news delivery in ways favorable to the Democratic Party.” He cited Facebook’s and Twitter’s actions to suppress The New York Post‘s bombshell story about Joe Biden’s involvement with Hunter Biden’s notorious foreign deals.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) Laurence Silberman, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, urged the Supreme Court to overturn the key defamation precedent New York Times v. Sullivan (1964), in part because the legacy media has become a threat to American Democracy…. Continue reading

Notice how some ‘Christians’ attack conservative Southern Baptist teachings on sex and gender and do so without any evidence

What Stetzer did here is wicked. It is the tactic of an antichrist. But, again, Stetzer wanted us to be cautious when it came to talking about the Chinese Communist Party. Remember that. Remember this. Also, remember who funds the SEND Institute associated with Stetzer. It seems relevant.”

(Capstone Report) The day is coming, indeed it is already here, when Southern Baptists will face persecution. It will be aided not only by secular elites angry over the Christian claim that there is absolute truth and that it is knowable. The persecution will also come from within. This week Southern Baptists were attacked for “radicalizing” young men. Continue reading

Because Her Husband is in Prison, Pastor’s Wife Able to Proclaim Jesus to Millions on Live TV

Watch God be glorified by this.

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  In a stunningly perfect and brilliant example of God’s perfect will in working all things for good (Romans 8:28), Erin Coates, wife of pastor James Coates, was able to proclaim the cross of Christ on live television to millions of viewers last night.

Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church in Alberta, Canada was arrested and jailed by a homosexual activist police officer last month on charges of breaking health department orders that churches not meet for worship…. Continue reading

A Study Shows VERY FEW Capitol Hill Rioters Were QAnon Red-Staters With Ties to ‘Right-Wing’ Groups

“The fact that the rioters were not red-meat, right-wing fanatics threw researchers for a loop. It also forced some reflection by researchers about the people who believe there was election fraud, according to the study.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  A survey by the University of Chicago finds that most Capitol Hill rioters had no ties to any fringe right-wing groups and were merely engaged people outraged by what they believed was a rigged election. Continue reading
