Vile, Blasphemous ‘Thank God for Abortion Anthem’ Blasts Church Interference, Demands Bodily ‘Sovereignty’

“She’s taking that and she’s saying that…the love of Christ compels me to murder my own child and to encourage others to murder their own child and to defend the choice to murder children.”

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  A vile and blasphemous rap video recently posted online by the movements Thank God for Abortion and Shout Your Abortion shows abortion advocates dancing in a church, including a choir with “abortion” sashes around their necks, as the song blasts interference from the Church and State and demands bodily “sovereignty” and “legal, safe and free” abortion.

Joe Biden’s disturbing connection to the socialist ‘Great Reset’ movement

“At a campaign event on July 9, Biden said we need to end the “era of shareholder capitalism,” a major part of the Great Reset proposal that would alter how companies are evaluated, elevating social justice causes and climate change concerns over property rights.”

(Justin Haskins – Fox Business) A radical movement called the Great Reset embraced by some Democrats poses a grave threat to liberty and free markets in the United States and around the world. While former Vice President Joe Biden hasn’t endorsed the movement, his ties to it are growing as he changes his long-held policy views to appease the far-left. Continue reading

Warning of a Looming ‘Coup,’ Leftists Lay Out Plans for DC Disruptions

(Patrick Goodenough – CNS News)  Girding up for a big week ahead, the leftist direct-action group calling itself Shutdown DC plans to hold an election result-watching gathering on the evening of Election Day at Black Lives Matter Plaza across from the White House – “a good place to respond to whatever might happen.”

On Wednesday morning, according to its website, the group is inviting people to gather at BLM Plaza and Union Station, from where “we’ll step off to disrupt business as usual for some of the institutions that are most complicit in [President] Trump’s attack on Democracy.”  Continue reading

Willow Creek Campus in Uproar Over Sweeping Staff Cuts & Vision to Centralize

(Julie Roys and Cindy Mallette)  A campus of Willow Creek Community Church is in an uproar over massive staff cuts—part of a new vision by new Senior Pastor Dave Dummit to streamline costs and centralize the embattled Chicago-area megachurch.

Some are saying they want to secede from the multi-site church. Others say they’re withholding tithes until they feel their voice is heard. Continue reading

Kamala Harris Promotes Socialism Two Days Ahead of Election: ‘Equitable Treatment Means We All End Up at the Same Place’

“During the 2019 Democrat primary race, Harris said America must “have and adopt a Green New Deal” and pitched radical proposals during CNN’s Climate Change Town Hall, signaling an openness to “changing dietary guidelines — the food pyramid” to reduce red meat consumption.”

(Hannah Bleau – Breitbart) Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) made a final pitch for socialist ideology two days before the presidential election, posting a video explaining the difference between “equality” and “equity” and concluding that “equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.” Continue reading

Undercover agent warns of post-election plans to ‘ignite’ violent revolution that will shock the nation

“The socialists and Marxists have been gradually taking over our major institutions for years, including the federal bureaucracy, DOJ, the media, school systems, the churches. They’ve taken them over already, despite us electing a conservative Republican in President Trump in 2016. That’s why he’s had such a difficult time and why we are now at the precipice of civil war.”

(Leo Hohmann) Is America sitting on a powder keg of discontent created by years of cultural Marxist infiltration and agitation?

One counter-terrorism expert and U.S. Air Force veteran thinks the answer is yes, and here’s why… Continue reading

Yes, Media Are Rigging The Election Against Half The Country. Here’s How

“Trump’s biggest success in his first term has been his foreign policy agenda. While the elites predicted literal nuclear annihilation if he were elected, his presidency has been one of peace agreements and avoiding war when other presidents would have invaded. He has worked against powerful military-industrial interests to end the Afghanistan War. He successfully eroded ISIS’s territorial gains. He rewrote trade deals. Peace agreements have sprung up in the Middle East between Israel and various Arab nations.”

(Mollie Hemingway – The Federalist)  Even if Donald Trump had lost the 2016 election, instead of won it in a surprise, the media’s coverage of his campaign and supporters would have been a horrific failure. They presented that race as unwinnable for Trump and as if his support was inexplicable. Continue reading

On teaching spiritual darkness

“Mike Bickle has even stated he wants Fire Within, a book promoting the teachings of Catholic contemplatives Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, to be the “manual for IHOP-KC.” Fire Within is written by the contemplative, Catholic priest, Father Thomas Dubay.”

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire)  False teachers and false movements abound. Some do lasting damage. Some false teachings are short-lived. But there is one deceptive “prayer” practice in particular that continues to infect the visible church. Continue reading

God’s Love is Celestial Love

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. (Jeremiah 31:3)

Between that heart in heaven and this poor throbbing heart, aching heart on earth there is love established; love of the dearest, truest, sweetest and most faithful kind.

In fact, the love of woman, the mother’s love, the love of the spouse, these are but the water; but the love of God is the wine. Continue reading

The perverts and those who protect them

This is a time for all Christians to uncover the complete truth about the pedophile rings operating here and abroad, sometimes with the protection of Catholic church officials and sometimes with the connivance of other members of the elite. It’s what Catholic Bishop Fulton J. Sheen in 1947 called “Signs of Our Times.” He referred to the emergence of “a counter-church” with “all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content.” 

(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America) Before Joe Biden committed a major gaffe by urging the eventual abolition of the oil and gas industry, he endorsed the idea of 8-year-old transgenders. This went beyond gaffe status to outright insanity…. Continue reading

Hell, yes!

“If President Trump is defeated, America will never know the proportions of or the people responsible for the greatest breach of the Constitution in the country’s history: the politicization of the intelligence agencies and of the FBI in an attempt to alter the 2016 presidential election, both before and after it occurred.”

(Conrad Black – National Review) It is a squeeze to reduce the number of logically indisputable reasons why President Trump should be reelected to a single column, but I will attempt it. Reelection is the only way of restoring the conditions that Trump created that eliminated unemployment prior to the onset of the COVID-19 crisis…. Continue reading

The Great COVID Lie

“Biden’s stated plan — to accelerate a vaccine, to socially distance, to mask more, to create local authority for targeted lockdowns — is no different from Trump’s.”

(Ben Shapiro)  Until COVID-19 hit, President Donald Trump was on a glide path to reelection. On domestic policy, Trump’s tax and regulatory cuts spurred the economy to heights unseen in 50 years; his Department of Education cracked down on the star-chamber courts applied on college campuses in cases of alleged sexual misconduct; he has appointed scores of well-qualified constitutionalist judges, including three Supreme Court justices…. Continue reading

BOOM: Hunter’s ‘Smoking Gun’ Email Implicating Joe Biden Just BLEW UP

“Twitter, which allowed dissemination of the Russian/Hillary Clinton fake Steele dossier and other anti-Trump stories, claims unconvincingly that the unclear provenance of the documents was why it was blocking the story on its platform. This authentication should put to rest Twitter chief Jack Dorsey’s concerns. It’s certainly more authentication than the fake Steele dossier ever got from the American media.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  The Daily Caller News Foundation reports that a cybersecurity expert has authenticated the email that implicates then-Vice President Joe Biden in his son’s shady business dealings in Ukraine. Continue reading

Judgment is Here: Seventy Percent of Americans Support Same-Sex Marriage

“It needs to be clear that America is not under judgment  because  of rampant abortion and homosexuality, but that rampant abortion and homosexuality are the actual judgment.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  God has no doubt unleashed his wrath and judgment upon this nation. While many of us are struggling to hang on to the last thread of conservatism in this country — hoping that Donald Trump can pull off one more election — the country has undoubtedly already been given over to a debased mind. Continue reading

CDC Study Finds Overwhelming Majority Of People Getting Coronavirus Wore Masks

The report suggests that “direction, ventilation, and intensity of airflow might affect virus transmission, even if social distancing measures and mask use are implemented according to current guidance.”

(Jordan Davidson – The Federalist)  A Centers for Disease Control report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even for those people who consistently wear them. Continue reading

So many people are ignoring the left’s glaring authoritarian impulse

“This movement is already so powerful that it controls the media, the educational establishment, the entertainment industry, and Big Tech.”

(Peter Heck – Disrn)  After a particularly eye-opening day in the American political world, commentator Bridget Phetasy summed up perfectly why so many who feel disappointment, disgust, or even downright revulsion at the antics of our provocateur-in-chief cannot in good conscience feel even remotely persuaded to vote for the other major party option: Continue reading

Media Put a ‘Blanket’ Over Biden Scandal, Massive Corruption, ‘No Coverage’

(Lucy Collins – CNSNews) Media Research Center President Brent Bozell released a video on Tuesday decrying the mainstream media’s failure to investigate the New York Post’s story about Hunter and Joe Biden and their business dealings in the Ukraine and Communist China.

This story is “the biggest case of corruption I believe in the history of this nation,” said Bozell, and yet it has received “no coverage.”  Continue reading

‘The Biden Five’: The Definitive Breakdown of One of America’s Most Corrupt Families

“The Bidens…are unprecedented in the extent and scope of the corruption, because I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’ve exposed Republicans and Democrats. The most that I’ve ever seen up to this point was a Republican senator from Missouri that had three family members engaged in this kind of behavior.” 

(Robert Kraychik – Breitbart)  The Biden Five is composed of Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden; his younger brothers Frank Biden and James Biden, his sister Valerie Biden, and his daughter Ashley Biden. Continue reading

Compromised Evangelicals Misuse, Misinterpret, and Mangle Bible to Defend Open Borders!

I heard one of the great evangelists of the last generation say, “Do right though the stars fall from Heaven.” The illegal aliens have not done right. They resolutely broke our laws and crashed our gates, and forced themselves in front of others who have followed our laws and procedures. There are five million people who are waiting in line legally, but illegal aliens refuse to wait. Their arrogance and audaciousness are astounding, while their advocates are angry and appalling.

(Don Boys – Reformation CharlotteJoe Biden said, “I respect no borders!” Well, neither do thieves, thugs, tyrants, and totalitarians. Nor do border-crossing drug lords, terrorists, pedophiles, disease carriers, and job seekers…. Continue reading

‘Plausible deniability’: Tony Bobulinski claims Biden family shrugged off concerns about risk to 2020 bid

(Adam Shaw & Brook Singman – Fox News) Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, claimed in an interview Tuesday that the Biden family shrugged off concerns that Joe Biden’s alleged ties to his son’s business deals could put a future presidential campaign at risk.

Bobulinski, in an interview with Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” said he raised concerns in 2017 to the former vice president’s brother Jim Biden, about Joe Biden’s alleged ties to a possible joint venture with a Chinese energy firm. Continue reading

Pope Appoints Powerful Pro-LGBT Cardinals to Seat of Power

“Gregory personally invited pro-gay Vatican adviser Fr. James Martin to give a speech titled “Showing Welcome and Respect in Our Parishes to LGBT Catholics” at both St. Thomas More Parish and at Atlanta’s Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.  Martin described Gregory as “thoughtful, progressive and open-minded,” and noted his LGBT outreach.”

(Protestia)  Pope Francis appointed 13 clergymen to the College of Cardinals, many of who will be able to vote in the upcoming Pala conclave, and at least two who hold pro-LGBT views…. Continue reading

Al Mohler, Asleep at the Wheel, Finally Explains Why Christians Must Support Trump

“Citing Donald Trump’s commitment to and record of actually carrying out the pro-life policies he promised in his 2016 campaign, Mohler admits that Trump has made a believer out of him and now vows to vote for him in 2020, despite having voted against him in 2016.”  

Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and arguably the most influential leader in the entire Southern Baptist Convention, is well-known for leading from behind and speaking out after…it’s too late to make a difference…. Continue reading

Should Christians Vote for the Vain and Boastful?

“It is not simply that Christians are allowed to vote for the kind of boastful candidates Piper finds incomprehensible as a choice. God deliberately confounds our moral calculus — especially those calculations designed to make us look more righteous than others.”

(Ben Voth – American Thinker) Evangelical thinker, author, and Christian pastor John Piper stirred the Christian community and a larger public intrigued with how Christians may vote in the this election with his recent essay, “Policies, Persons, and Paths to Ruin: Pondering the Implications of the 2020 Election.” Continue reading

Trump vs. Biden: A Rundown

“Would Biden reopen America’s southern border and allow foreign nationals their old accustomed free access to enter the U.S. illegally? Would he perhaps stop the wall’s construction or even dynamite its soon to be completed 400 miles? Would he ask the Mexican president to withdraw the Mexican border troops that have radically curtailed illegal crossings? How many illegal aliens would be given blanket amnesty? Would he reinstate NAFTA and rid himself of the Trump substitute?”

(Victor Davis Hanson – National Review) One week out, the contrasts are worth assessing. Biden so far has issued no substantive critique of Trump’s foreign policy other than banalities that Trump’s comportment and unpredictability have offended allies and tarnished America’s reputation. Continue reading
