Director of National Intelligence says Hunter Biden laptop, emails ‘not part of some Russian disinformation campaign’

“It’s funny that some of the people who complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing the intelligence,” Ratcliffe said. “Unfortunately, it is Adam Schiff who said the intelligence community believes the Hunter Biden laptop and emails on it are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.”

(Brook Singman – Fox News)  Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Monday said that Hunter Biden’s laptop “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” amid claims from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff suggesting otherwise. Continue reading

Read The Gospels: JC Is Not PC

“Ignoring the normal rules of taste, tact, and diplomacy, Jesus in effect declared that all his listeners were sinners in need of redemption. He pointed out sin and condemned it. He knew very well that this would not win him any accolades.” 

(John MacArthur – Daily Wire)  Most of Jesus’ teaching is completely out of sync with the mores that dominate our culture.

I’m talking, of course, about the Jesus we encounter in Scripture, not the always-gentle, never-stern, über-lenient coloring-book character who exists only in the popular imagination…. Continue reading

Whoa. ‘Prosecutor’ Rudy Guiliani Details Devastating Case Against ‘Biden Crime Family’

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  Unless you depend exclusively upon Facebook and Twitter for news, you’ve probably heard of the shocking story about Hunter Biden’s shady dealings with China and Ukraine and the alleged kick backs given to “pops,” former Vice President Joe Biden.

The New York Post‘s story has been dismissed out of hand by some in the mainstream media – especially the embarrassing story press release written by the man who helped usher in the false Flynn and Trump-Is-a-Russian-Secret-Agent stories, The Washington Post‘s David Ignatius. Continue reading

Do False Teachers Know they’re False?

“The question boils down to motivation. What motivates a false teacher? A wayward sincerity that can be corrected? Or a deeply warped, conscious pursuit of evil?”

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time)  A reader asked this question the other day, “Do you think, they believe they are doing what God is calling them to do?” In other words, do they know they’re false or do they sincerely believe that they are in the right?

The answer is yes, no, and we can’t know. Let me explain. Continue reading

Biden Says Enactment of Homosexual, Transgender ‘Equality Act’ Is ‘Top Legislative Priority’ if Elected

The page also states that in addition to pushing for Congress to make the Act law, he will use his executive authority to “immediately reverse the discriminatory actions of the Trump-Pence Administration and then go further to end discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals.”

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says that, if elected, he will make the “enactment of the Equality Act during his first 100 days as president a top legislative priority.”… Continue reading

Censoring the Biden story: How social media becomes state media

“If thousands of emails and images were fabricated, then serious crimes were committed. But if the emails and images are genuine, then the Bidens appear to have lied for years as a raw influence-peddling scheme worth millions stretched from China to Ukraine to Russia. Moreover, these countries likely have had the compromising information all along while the Bidens — and the media — were denying reports of illicit activities.”

(Jonathan Turley – The Hill)  Chinese citizens watched President Xi Jinping deliver an important speech this week not far from Hong Kong. Well, not the whole speech: Xi apparently is ill so, every time he went into coughing spasms, China’s state media cut away so that he would be shown only in perfect health. Continue reading

Source on alleged Hunter Biden email chain verifies message about Chinese investment firm

(Sam Dorman & Mike Emanuel – Fox News)  One of the people on an explosive email thread allegedly involving Hunter Biden has corroborated the veracity of the messages, which appear to outline a payout for former Vice President Joe Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.

One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm.

The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co…. Continue reading

Hillsong Music is a Gateway Drug to Apostasy, Your Church is Dealing it to You

“I find it extremely difficult to reconcile…the acceptance that contradictory beliefs can all be from the same God, as a work of the Holy Spirit. [Darlene Zschech] refers to it as “different characteristics, faces, tastes, and giftings.. yet a DNA running through our veins that draw us together.” 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Last year, we watched a string of high-profile apostasies take place, including Marty Sampson, one of the most prominent Hillsong music artists over the years. Sampson is not the only one, though…. Continue reading

President Trump Eviscerates Liberal Talking Points During NBC Town Hall

“Watch President @realDonaldTrump rip @SpeakerPelosi for not working with Republicans to pass COVID-19 relief…”

(Regan McCarthy – Townhall)  In a town hall with NBC News on Thursday night, President Trump spoke the truth about Speaker Pelosi’s opposition to an additional coronavirus relief package.

Harvest Discloses Multi-Million Dollar Settlement with James MacDonald

“In November 2019, Harvest had published the results of an independent audit of church spending, revealing that MacDonald had misused millions in church funds for personal use.”

Why can’t believers ‘decree’ Psalm 91 as protection against coronavirus?

“The bottom line is that God is sovereign, and He often does protect his people. Ultimately, of course, he will always protect his people when we are with him in eternity. But even when he doesn’t spare us from present trials, it’s for his bigger purposes.”

(Holly Pivec – Spirit of Error)  Why can’t believers ‘decree’ Psalm 91 as protection against coronavirus (as I stated in my latest blog post)? One of my readers asked this question. Here’s my answer. Continue reading

‘Doing the Stuff:’ An Encounter with John Wimber

“Wimber at one time had been a pastor of a Calvary Chapel in Yorba Linda, California, but Calvary founder Chuck Smith had to disassociate with Wimber over disputes between allowing the Bible or experience to be the center of attention for the church.  Wimber caused a split in the church when he left and took many people with him.”

(Jackie Alnor – The Christian Sentinel)  Over thirty years ago I watched the late John Wimber in action at a conference attended by people from the mainline denominations including Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, and Baptists, along with Roman Catholics…. Continue reading

After The Great Barrington Declaration, No One Can Honestly Say ‘Science’ Demands Lockdowns

(Helen Raleigh – The Federalist)  Last month, the prestigious Scientific American magazine announced that for the first time in its 175-year history, it would endorse Joe Biden, the Democrat nominee, for the 2020 U.S. presidential election…. Continue reading

NYT: Experts Confident Pandemic To Be Over ‘Far Sooner’ Than Expected, Trump Efforts ‘Working With Remarkable Efficiency’

(Ryan Saavedra – Daily Wire)  A new report from The New York Times indicates that experts have “genuine confidence” that the coronavirus pandemic will end “far sooner” than originally expected and that President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed — the administration’s efforts to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics — has been “working with remarkable efficiency.”

SMOKING GUN: Secret Email Reveals Hunter Biden Introduced Joe Biden to Burisma Executive

Photo credit: South Carolina Tea Party Coalition

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media)  A bombshell report from the New York Post shows that back in 2015, Hunter Biden introduced his father to a top executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma. This introduction occurred less than a year before Vice President Biden successfully pressured the Ukrainian government into firing the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, by threatening to withhold a $1 billion loan unless they did so.

The Post reports that the “never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board.”…. Continue reading

If We Don’t Fight Back Against Corona Fascism, It Will Never End

“So why are we now in month eight of this insanity? Why are places like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and even South Dakota NOT rolling in bodies now that they aren’t embracing universal, forced masking? The mask-cult never even attempts to answer those questions, of course.”

(Scott Morefield – Townhall) Unicoi County, Tennessee, is a dark-red county in a dark-red state. It’s a beautiful, mountainous place with low population density and an even lower probability of spotting a liberal…. Continue reading

New Ravi Zacharias Allegations Highlight Secrecy, Cover-Up & Questionable Practices at RZIM

“RZIM…engaged in questionable governance and financial practices for years, enriching Zacharias and his family, and giving them undue control over the ministry. But while Zacharias was being upheld as the gold standard, no one was willing to look at these practices or hold the board accountable.”

(Julie Roys – The Roys Report)  Recent allegations concerning Ravi Zacharias have shocked the evangelical world and prompted two investigations—one by Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) and one by the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), the denomination that ordained Zacharias.

Hillary Clinton — not Trump — colluded with Russians in effort to win 2016 election

“Clinton actually did what she accused Trump of doing: She colluded with Russians (through yet another foreigner she recruited to meddle in the 2016 presidential campaign: the ludicrous former British spy Christopher Steele) in order to damage Trump’s campaign and cinch the election for herself.”

(Andrew C. McCarthy)  Did she or didn’t she?

Of course she did. In late July 2016, Hillary Clinton, in an effort to divert attention from the email scandal that was haunting her presidential bid, directed her campaign to peddle a political narrative that Russia’s suspected hacking and leaking of Democratic Party emails was in furtherance of a conspiracy between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to swing the election to Trump.
