Victor Davis Hanson Provides Sage Advice But Only One Side Listens

Democrats have taken nothing but a step forward. Freshman Representative Cori Bush (D-Mo.) submitted legislation to have Republican Congress members removed for “incitement.” On Twitter, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) resign. It is as if these women forget the roles they played in the riots nationwide this summer.”

(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media)  Victor Davis Hanson may be one of the wisest commentators in America. A classicist, historian, and prolific writer, he tends to see things with amazing clarity. His comments on Tucker Carlson Tonight following the melee at the Capitol yesterday were no exception. Continue reading

Christian Options Living Under a Marxist Regime

“My own assessment of our predicament is probably a combination of these options.  I obviously don’t believe in escapism.  The church must begin speaking to the cultural issues of the day.  Our people must be taught how to think biblically.” 

(Larry E. Ball)  The elections are over and the political left has taken over the national government in the United States.  They own the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House.  The tyranny of the Cancel Culture is now in total power, and their agenda is to crush all opposition. Continue reading

Michelle Obama Gave The Order for Big Tech to Delete President Trump From Social Media Platforms

“Her solution to stopping such riots is to shut up the president and anyone else who agrees with him, just like other people we’ve seen through history.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  It really is a thing to behold the Left’s active effort to send all the riots, unrest, and fires of the past several years down the memory hole. When Ferguson, Missouri, was set on fire by Black Lives Matter and Lisa Fithian-trained shock troops, no one called for Barack Obama to be taken off Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media. Continue reading

Democrats Were For Riots Before They Were Against Them

“You can’t normalize political violence and then expect it to be a one-sided affair. After months in which BLM mobs attacked a federal courthouse in Portland, throwing fireworks and shining lasers in the eyes of law enforcement personnel, toppled statues across the country, and injured hundreds of police officers, the Democrats and their media are suddenly outraged.”

(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page Magazine)  In 2018, the media was writing up glowing stories about the hundreds of Women’s March members who were engaging in “direct action” to disrupt the Senate’s Kavanaugh hearings. Continue reading

Supreme Court Rejects Fast Track for Trump Election Cases

(News Max)  The Supreme Court on Monday formally refused to put on a fast track election challenges filed by President Donald Trump and his allies.

The court rejected pleas for quick consideration of cases involving the outcome in five states won by President-elect Joe Biden: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The orders, issued without comment, were unsurprising. The justices had previously taken no action in those cases in advance of last week’s counting of the electoral votes in Congress, which confirmed Biden’s victory. Continue reading

Rush Limbaugh: Swamp, Pelosi Scared to Death of Trump’s Final Days

“The four-year coup, the four-year effort to get the election results of 2016 overturned, there are all kinds of people who broke the law, all kinds of people who are quaking in their boots,” he added. “They’re worried silly that Trump is gonna unleash some of these classified documents.”

(Sandy Fitzgerald – Newsmax)  Washington’s “swamp” and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are “scared out of their gourd” about President Donald Trump’s remaining days in office, according to radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Continue reading

ERLC Finally Owns Revoice, Promoting Founder in ‘Parent’s Guide to Gender’

“He [Nate Collins] who describes himself as a “gay man in a mixed-orientation marriage,” did his dissertation at Al Mohler’s SBTS, arguing that “virgin” is a third gender in the scriptures, enjoys gay art, and made grotesquely unbiblical statements in Christianity Today [a site CRN does not endorse].”

(Protestia)  After years of denial and feigned ignorance, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) – the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), has finally taken ownership of the LGBTQ-affirming organization Revoice. Continue reading

ABC News Executive Calls for ‘Cleansing’ the Trump Movement From America

“The media are cheering on the lists of Trump supporters being amassed by the Left in order to cancel them and keep them off of boards of directors, academia, and other institutions. A Leftist website with the Orwellian name “The Truth Accountability Project” has answered the call of the Jennifer Rubins and AOCs to keep a list of those who must be purged from history.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  When you were told consistently that it wasn’t President Trump they were after it was you, you might have had some doubts. But it turns out this was correct. Not only do the media want to get rid of President Trump, they want to get rid of every vestige of Trump thought and everything he represents. In case you’re wondering – that’s you. Continue reading

Christianity Today Lays Responsibility For Violence at Feet of ‘White American Church’

“Naturally, this post was co-signed by a host of fellow progressives, with Beth Moore being no exception.”

(Protestia) Christianity Today, the progressive rag known for giving a platform to every weird and liberally insidious bent, has come out swinging against the violence at Capitol Hill yesterday, laying the responsibility for the mayhem at the feet of the “white American church” and any leaders who voted for and supported the President. Continue reading

The End

“Trump’s presidency will end, but it’s unclear where he goes from here. The Republican Party as we know it also is over; the GOP’s disloyalty to the president and his voters in the final stretch will not be soon forgotten. And Republican control of the Senate during the Trump era ends just how it began, in making a bargain to do the Left’s bidding and ultimately acting as the Democratic Party’s useful idiots.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness)  In the end, almost everyone got what they deserved.

The president’s Achilles’ heel—relying on the wrong people to advance his political interests—led to his final ouster this week. Donald Trump ran out of runway and instead of preparing for a soft landing, he pumped the gas…. Continue reading

The Coming Purge of All Things and People Trump

“Senator Josh Hawley has been fingered as the scapegoat in the mob attack on the Capitol. It’s not exactly clear why. It could be that he was the most visible Senator who, in a completely legal and constitutional fashion, challenged the results of the Electoral College. You may believe he was right or you may think him crazy. Whatever your opinion, what he did was perfectly legal.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media)  Around 3500 years ago in ancient Egypt, there lived a pharaoh who didn’t believe there were multiple gods ruling the universe. Pharaoh Akhenaten believed there was only one god — Aten the sun god…. Continue reading

Waving Goodbye to the America We All Knew and Loved

“Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson made this observation: “[t]he political debate between the right and the left seems to be moving forward in a manner that indicates the fundamental robustness of the institutions of democracy in the U.S.”   Peterson’s observation is no longer accurate — our democratic institutions are anything but robust.  The political debate is flirting with civil war as progressives in Congress and on social media gang up to censor conservative viewpoints.” 

(Ed Brodow – American Thinker)  My generation believed in the United States.  We believed in its respect for the individual, in its Constitution, in its status as the only benign superpower in history…. Continue reading

Jackie Hill Perry: White People Only Care about Black Folk in the Womb – Then Comes the Hatred!

Jackie Hill Perry is a spoken word artist, a contributor at The Gospel Coalition, and is on the SBC/PCA speaking circuit. Hill Perry is also a former lesbian who married a man and has children by him. Not long ago she was criticized for lending her support to Bethel Church in Redding, CA.  Even after it was brought to her attention that Bethel Redding holds to heretical Word of Faith teaching and that Bethel is entrenched in the New Apostolic Reformation, a movement whose followers believe they receive direct revelation from God and also promotes unbiblical mysticism, she went on Instagram and offered this excuse:… Continue reading

Trump Vows ‘Orderly Transition’ on Jan. 20

(Newsmax)  President Donald Trump, minutes after Congress certified Democrat Joe Biden’s Electoral College Victory and hours after demonstrators broke into the Capitol, pledged “an orderly transition” to the incoming administration.

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,” Trump said in a statement posted on Twitter Thursday morning by Dan Scavino, the White House deputy chief of staff. Continue reading

When Things Look Bleak…

“When we are tempted to trust in some particular person or political party to provide deliverance and security, we have a vain hope. The God who made heaven, and earth, the sea and all that is in them, is the One who provides deliverance and security for His people. This God has secured a city that has foundations–a lasting city–for His people.”

(Nicholas Batzig – Feeding On Christ)  Like many other Christians, I am deeply concerned about the direction in which our country has been moving and the speed at which it continues to move. The murder of the unborn, the celebration of every form of sexual immorality, the increase in public acts of violence, perpetual discrimination, sex trafficking, and a rise in religious intolerance certainly top the list….

Co-owner of Spas With Ravi Zacharias Speaks of ‘Happy Endings’ and Requests to Delete Information

Warning: This article contains graphic descriptions about sexual activity.

(Julie Roys)  In recordings released exclusively to The Roys Report, a man who co-owned two spas with the late apologist Ravi Zacharias said Zacharias had a “pattern” of exposing himself to therapists and masturbating. And when the co-owner, Anurag Sharma, confronted Zacharias about an allegation of “misbehaving,” Sharma said Zacharias told him to delete information about Zacharias’ spa appointments.

Trump Officially Instructs DOJ to Classify Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Tuesday night instructing the State Department to restrict visas to foreigners affiliated with Antifa and is calling on the Department of Justice to classify the anarchist organization as a domestic terrorist group.

“Reliable reporting suggests that the movement known as Antifa is directly or indirectly responsible for some of the recent lawlessness in our communities, and has exploited tragedies to advance a radical, leftist, anarchist, and often violent agenda.  In fact, Antifa has long used otherwise permissible demonstrations to engage in lawless, criminal behavior to further its radical agenda,” the order states….

Losing Would Be a Fitting Coda for the Feckless GOP Senate

“Senate Republicans made nary a peep as unscientific lockdowns backed by governors of both parties destroyed sectors of the once-thriving U.S. economy, kept kids out of schools for months, and shuttered churches. The alleged party of liberty and freedom prostrated before the altar of pseudoscience and the almighty Dr. Anthony Fauci.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness)  It should surprise no one that the Republican Senate—the most inept collection of politicians in recent memory—will end the Trump era in a state of disarray, discord, and dysfunction. Continue reading

Judah Smith and Churchome Bring on Trinity-Denier T.D Jakes as Board Member

Judah Smith, left and his pal Justin Bieber, center – screenshot

The Smiths are about as seeker-sensitive and biblically compromised as they come. They live in a multi-million dollar home and have a penchant for Gucci luxury clothes, where a single outfit can cost upwards of $5000$. They count Justin Bieber as one of their members and let him occasionally lead worship, with theoerotic songs like Reckless Love being a mainstay.

(Protestia)  Pastors Judah and Chelsea Smith of Churchome, a hip-to-be-cool, celebrity-endorsed 10,000 member megachurch, further cemented their theological obliviousness by bringing on Trinity-denying Modalist T. D. Jakes as a Board Member of their congregation, effective January 1, 2021. Continue reading

Terrifying Report: U.S. Funded Specific Research at Wuhan Lab that Led to Coronavirus

(Rick Moran – PJ Media)The World Health Organization is beginning an investigation into the scientific origins of the coronavirus. They’ve assembled a blue-ribbon panel of doctors, researchers, and scientists to get to the bottom of the mystery.

As it turns out, investigative reporter Nicholson Baker did most of the work for them. Writing in New York Magazine, Baker reveals a horror story about an accidental release of the coronavirus deliberately created in a lab funded by U.S. tax dollars. Continue reading
