Trans Trump-Supporting Mole Makes Important Discovery About Antifa’s Tactics and Rules of Engagement

“This is very similar to how the intifada terror campaigns against Israel worked in the past. The terrorists knew they could not win a full military confrontation against the well-trained and well-equipped Israeli military. Winning wasn’t even necessarily the goal. The goal was to undermine Israel’s legitimacy, its right to even exist.”

(Bryan Preston – PJ Media) Reason has a fascinating piece about a trans woman Trump supporter who went undercover within antifa in Portland during this summer’s simmering riots. Getting in was easy: just don black and wear a mask. Continue reading

FED UP: Citizens, Community Leaders Form Coalition to Save Portland

(Jeff Reynolds – PJ Media)  A group of citizens in Portland, Ore., have come together to say enough is enough. After months of riots, spikes in violent crime, and years of inaction on the homeless population, the Coalition to Save Portland has begun to push back on the city’s failed leadership. The coalition has taken several actions to foster frank discussions about the growing problems in Portland, and what actions city leaders should take to correct them. Time will tell if city leaders listen or continue on their radical path. Continue reading

The Weapon Against Christian Paradigm in the Year 2020

“The evil to come in the next generation will be worse than this one if left unopposed and unexposed! Postmodernism by its own definition is a ‘scientific revolution’ it seeks to deconstruct Christianity and other faiths, it seeks to lift up what we call evil as good, and condemn God’s grace, creation, and salvation from sin as evil!”

(John Beardsley – Truth With Snares)  A Weapon Against The Christian Paradigm -The Hegelian Dialectic with Postmodern Thinking Deployed.

What in Heaven’s name am I talking about you ask!? Well, much of what I will share is nothing new, and it is as old as sin and Satan himself…. Continue reading

Manager for Ravi Zacharias Spa Goes Public with Further Accusations

“As things stand, four women have come forward with accusations of sexual impropriety, four people have corroborated the accounts, and two others acted as witnesses, for a total of ten people that we know so far. Of these ten, we know the identities of five.”

(Protestia)  Ravi Zacharias’ legacy received another blow after one of his past employees has publicly come forward with new allegations and corroboration against the late famed Christian apologist. Continue reading

POLITICS Biden Campaign Staffer Suggests SCOTUS Nominees Should Be Disqualified For ‘Intolerant’ Religious Views Like Amy Coney Barrett’s

(James Samson – LifeZette) A campaign staffer for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden those who have strong religious views, such as Orthodox Catholics, Jews, and Muslims, should be disqualified from being on the Supreme Court.

Biden campaign Deputy Data Director for Pennsylvania Nikitha Rai made the suggestion on Monday, according to the National Review. The comments were made in a Twitter exchange between Rai and Brookings Institute Senior Fellow Shadi Hamid, during which Rai suggested Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s Catholic beliefs were problematic.

The Secret of Sanctification

One of the most beneficial things I learned from my professors during my seminary days was that ministers must continually preach the message of the cross to the people of God for their growth in grace. One professor in particular constantly exhorted us to preach Christ “for pardon and power.” The longer I am a Christian, the more clearly I see the wisdom of this counsel. The message of the cross meets our deepest need for pardon and power as we seek to overcome indwelling sin. Continue reading

‘The Return’ – To WHAT? A Bait & Switch Revival?

“Cahn typically includes the addition of Old Testament prophecies about Israel, potent occult mysticism derived from visions, fictional narratives, occult lore, numerology, and other unbiblical sources. His theology matches up precisely with that of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), particularly his eschatology.” 

(Sarah H. Leslie – Herescope) America the nation is in a state of crisis. Violence and chaos erupts in the streets, pestilence swarms from coast to coast, fires are raging in the West, and bullying threats are ruining lives on mainstream media and social media…. Continue reading

They’ve Just Got to Control Us

“It all goes back to the bizarre mix of ideology and pseudo-religion imbibed by liberals. Denying the existence of God, their search for an ultimate authority can take them no higher than the state, with Science hobbling along beside it like Igor shambling to keep up with Frankenstein. Between them they claim to be able, eventually, to do everything that God should have done but didn’t because He isn’t real.”

(Lee Duigon – News With Views)  What makes “progressives” tick? What gets them up in the morning and sustains them through the day? What makes their lives worth living? Continue reading

Kyle Rittenhouse to Sue Joe Biden, Attorney Says He’ll ‘Teach Biden a Lesson He’ll Never Forget’

“After issuing a formal demand for retraction, and the Biden campaign’s refusal to do so, said he’s going to teach Joe Biden a lesson he’ll never forget.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Following Tuesday night’s debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Biden took to Twitter to declare that Donald Trump was unwilling to denounce white supremacist groups. In that tweet, he included a video clip that contained an image of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who is now facing trial for shooting three people in self-defense during an Antifa riot. Continue reading

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  In the wee hours of Friday morning, President Donald Trump announced he and first Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19.

“Tonight, [the first lady] and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

Original story: Continue reading

Leftist Media Slams Trump for Making Fun of Prosperity Gospel Frauds, Mormonism

“Trump is not wrong about these hustlers. Creflo Dollar is nothing more than a scam artist and as a businessman, Donald Trump can clearly see that. All of these prosperity hustlers are frauds.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Yesterday, The Atlantic reported that Donald Trump had been “secretly mocking” so-called conservative Christians behind their backs…. Continue reading

Virginia Forces Christian Ministries to Adopt ‘Government Ideology’ or Pay $100K

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) Three Christian schools and a Christian network of pregnancy centers are suing Attorney General Mark Herring (D-Va.) in order to prevent Virginia from implementing two pro-LGBT laws that force “people of faith to adopt a particular government ideology under threat of punishment.” The two laws purport to prevent “discrimination” against LGBT people but, in reality, they force Christian ministries to choose between violating their sincerely held religious beliefs or paying hefty fines, as much as $100,000 per offense. Continue reading

California law forces boardrooms to diversify according to race, sexual preference

(Fox News)  Hundreds of California-based corporations must have directors from racial or sexual minorities on their boards under a first-in-the-nation bill signed Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The diversity legislation is similar to a 2018 measure that required boardrooms to have at least one female director by 2019. Like that measure, it could face court challenges from conservative groups who view it as a discriminatory quota. Continue reading

Bombshell Allegation: Hillary Orchestrated Collusion Hoax to Distract From Her Emails, According to Russian Intel

[H]andwritten notes from former CIA director John Brennan show that Brennan “briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials” about the intelligence, including the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.”

(Andrew C. McCarthy – National Review)  Hillary Clinton personally signed off on the Russiagate farce to distract attention from her email scandal, according to a Russian intelligence analysis that was obtained by U.S. intelligence agencies in July 2016. Continue reading

Christianity Today Reports On Claims Of Ravi Zacharias’s Sexual Misconduct At Spas

Graphic Content

“CT has verified the identities and job histories of the three women. They shared their stories under the condition that they not be named, fearing the stigma of coming forward as victims and possible retribution for harming the reputation of a famous Christian leader. They spoke with CT by phone multiple times over the past five weeks, and CT heard from three coworkers at the spas who corroborated elements of their accounts.”

(Daniel Silliman – Christianity Today)  Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) has opened an investigation into allegations that its late founder and namesake sexually harassed multiple massage therapists who worked at two day spas he co-owned. Continue reading

Bethel Church’s Bill Johnson: ‘Not Voting Makes you a Contributor to Evil – Voting Releases Power of God into the Atmosphere’

Refusing to vote for a candidate in either a local, statewide or national election of whatever stripe, political or otherwise, because one’s conscience binds them and prevents them from doing so does not make someone a “contributor to evil.”

(Protestia)  Bethel Church’s Bill Johnson, a man who has given so many false “words of knowledge from the Lord” that the prophets of Baal and Asherah are rolling in their graves, burning in incorporeal jealously at why they had to be cut down in the Kishon Valley although Johnson gets off scot-free, has once again turned the providentially mundane into something deeply weird.

Debate Recap: Trump Wins, Biden Doesn’t Faint, Chris Wallace Goes Down Hard

Joe won’t answer whether he’d pack the court and end the filibuster. Candidates are candidates and they’re supposed to, you know, take positions on things. Him ducking this shows how he is not “the Democratic Party”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden went head-to-head on Tuesday night, and moderator Chris Wallace got knocked out. Wallace seemed to push left-wing talking points to help Biden and hurt Trump, but both candidates talked over him. Trump and Biden brought out the fisticuffs and both got in a few good hits. Biden stumbled but he did not come across as a bumbling fool. Continue reading

Media Gunning For Scott Atlas Because He Keeps Exposing Coronavirus Lies

“In an interview, Atlas said the constant media characterization of President Trump’s coronavirus response as detached from scientific expertise is “completely false.” He said the president’s policies are informed by infectious disease experts from the world’s top medical and research institutions…”

(Joy Pullman – The Federalist)  “Dr. Scott Atlas is arming Trump with misleading data” about COVID-19, Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Robert Redfield told a colleague Friday, according to a Monday report by NBC News political reporter Monica Alba. Continue reading

Hillsong’s Carl Lentz: They Killed Jesus Because He Wasn’t Interested in Rules and ‘All that Fancy Stuff You Do’

“This is basic Christianity 101. This is theology at it’s simplest form. These are not difficult concepts to be wrestled with. It’s not like we’re plumbing the depths and offering a defense of supralapsarianism or unpacking a treatise on the Communicatio Idiomatum. Rather, this is point and click, then copy and paste theology that every pastor who has been in business for a decade should know.”

(Protestia)  Hillsong NY Pastor Carl Lentz has demonstrated once again that his grasp of the scriptures and theology proper leaves much to be desired, when he appeared on the Logan Paul show Implausible to suggest that Jesus was killed because he wasn’t interested in the rule following of religions. Continue reading

God Does Not Need Christians to Partner With Atheists to Fight Against Secular Marxism

The bottom line is that Lindsay — and even Richard Dawkins, for that matter — may have interesting and even truthful things to say. But they cannot justify what they believe or why they believe it. As Christians, we can point to an ultimate source of truth in God’s revelation, and we can say “this is why Cultural Marxism is wrong.” 

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  A troubling trend that I’m seeing in conservative Christian circles is the willingness to partner with political conservatives of other religions and even atheists in an effort to stave off the influx of Cultural Marxism and “woke” ideologies that are taking over this nation’s institutions and even our churches. Continue reading

Betrayed Trust, Part Three: Ravi Zacharias Claimed Accusers in Sexting Scandal Were Extortionists, But Evidence Indicates Otherwise

Both Brad Thompson and Ian deGroot laughed when I asked if Thompson was in “significant financial distress” after his alleged “settlement” with his pastor, as Zacharias’ lawsuit alleges. … Similarly, Tamara Battiste, Lori Anne Thompson’s sister, said: “Thompson is a millionaire . . . They do not need money. They have never needed money.”

(Julie Roys – The Roys Report)  Are Brad and Lori Anne Thompson extortionists who entrapped Ravi Zacharias in a sexting scandal for monetary gain? Or, are they victims of Zacharias—an alleged sexual predator, who preemptively sued them when they tried to hold Zacharias accountable? Continue reading

Progressive Christians’ ‘sainting’ of RBG is bizarre and wrong

“With a deep, deep bow, I honor this absolute legend. She blazed the very trails we walk on today. I cannot say this with more sincerity:  Well done, good and faithful servant. You fought the good fight, and you finished your race. Enter into your rest, dear sister…” 

(Peter Heck – Disrn)  When I first got the word that Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died, I prepared myself for a plethora of responses from the progressive left. I anticipated the voices who would immediately disregard her humanity and think only of politics.,,, Continue reading

Project Veritas Exposes Ballot Harvesting Scheme With Alleged Ties to Ilhan Omar

(Bronson Stocking – Townhall)  FBI Director Christopher Wray may be unaware of the voter fraud going on in the country, but Project Veritas keeps exposing it. A new investigative report was put out by Project Veritas on Sunday exposing what appears to be a ballot harvesting scheme in Minnesota perpetrated by a group with alleged ties to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

The video includes footage of a ballot harvester, Liban Mohamed, speaking in both English and Somali as he drives around collecting ballots from senior citizens. Continue reading

How Your Child is Being Groomed to be the Next Antifa/BLM Street Rioter

“The left’s obsession with race is driving a wedge between generations and tearing at the social cohesion necessary for any nation to succeed.”

(Harbingers Daily)  President Trump’s executive order banning critical race theory from federal agencies is a great first step in stopping the Marxist infiltration of government but if he wants to make a real and lasting difference, Trump will turn his focus to the nation’s public schools. Continue reading
