Hillsong Pastor Carl Lentz Engaged in 5-Month Long Affair with Muslim NYC Designer

“I have no knowledge of the Christian world, I’m Muslim. He told me the most beautiful women come from the Middle East and we kept talking from there. We walked and talked more for a little bit and exchanged numbers. He told me his name was Carl but that’s it, he wouldn’t tell me his last name. And he told me that his job was as a sports agent.”

(Protestia)  A 34-year-old New York City-based designer named Ranin Karim is claiming that she had a 5 month- long affair with disgraced pastor Carl Lentz, culminating in their breakup only last week, and has the text messages and video messages to prove it. Continue reading

Donald Trump, Counterrevolutionary

What tools did Donald Trump have to wage these many counterrevolutions? The media? America’s Fortune 400? Academia? The great foundations? The nation’s think tanks? The bipartisan government establishment? The international community? The banks? Wall Street? Corporate CEOs? Silicon Valley? Professional sports? The entertainment industry? Hollywood? The intelligence community? The current and retired top military brass?  In fact, none of them.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  Until Donald Trump’s arrival, the globalist revolution was almost solidified and institutionalized—with the United States increasingly its greatest and most “woke” advocate. We know its bipartisan establishment contours. Continue reading

Trump: Biden Is Rushing to ‘Falsely Pose’ as the Winner

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall)  After a number of news networks called the presidential race for former Vice President Joe Biden Saturday morning, President Donald Trump will not concede and is vowing to fight for a fair vote count in the courts.

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed…. Continue reading

Biden wins presidency, Trump denied second term in White House, Fox News projects

(Fox News)  Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has defeated President Trump, denying him a second term after a bitter campaign and dramatic, prolonged vote count in battleground states that sparked a flurry of lawsuits.

The Fox News Decision Desk projected Saturday that Biden will win the state of Nevada and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, giving the former vice president the electoral votes he needs to win the White House. Continue reading

Sleepy Campaign Strategy Mystery Solved! Biden didn’t really campaign because he knew the fix was in

“Consider the conspiracy of silence about Hunter Biden’s laptop or the revelations of Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski. With the exception of a few dissident outlets, there was an extraordinary conspiracy of silence about these and other stories critical of Biden’s behavior. (Special praise goes to the New York Post and to Tucker Carlson for bucking the trend and bringing these stories to the public.)”

(Roger Kimball – American Greatness)  One of the great mysteries surrounding the presidential election of 2020 has now been solved…. Continue reading

Sens. Cruz, Johnson, Lee Demand Google CEO Respond to Study Showing Get-Out-The-Vote Messages Went to Only Liberals

(Craig Bannister – CNSNews)  Three Republican senators have written to Google CEO Sundar Pichai calling on him to reconcile Pichai’s claim that “Google does not modify any products, including Search, to promote a particular political viewpoint” with a new study finding that reminders to vote were sent only to liberals prior to the election.

The letter by Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chair Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Sen. Mike Lee, (R-Utah) quotes the findings of an election-monitoring project led by Dr. Robert Epstein. Continue reading

The Left Threatens GOP: ‘We Have a List’ and You’ll Never Work Again if You Helped Trump

And what will they do with such information?  As Tokyo Rose Rubin pointed out in her above tweet, anyone supporting Donald Trump should “never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position or be accepted into ‘polite’ society.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  Former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden used the power of the office to spy on the media and political enemies, including, of course, Donald Trump. Obama kept a disposition matrix, an assassination list…. Continue reading

The Spygate Coup Attempt Destroyed Media And Democrats’ Credibility On Voter Fraud

“Trump’s backers lived through four years of false claims of “Russia collusion,” and while leftist media and many Americans remain in the dark about SpyGate, enough on the right know the reality that they won’t trust anything Democrats or the legacy press say about election fraud. Why should they?”

(Margot Cleveland – The Federalist)  After enduring four years of corporate media and congressional Democrats peddling lies, half-truths, and false narratives, Donald Trump voters will never believe a Joe Biden victory was lawfully achieved…. Continue reading

Decision Desk HQ Calls the Race for Biden, But It’s Not Over Yet…

“Outlets like the Associated Press have not yet called the race for Biden. However, the AP did announce that Biden was leading in Georgia and Pennsylvania.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Friday morning just before 9 a.m. Eastern, Decision Desk HQ called the State of Pennsylvania for Democratic nominee Joe Biden, giving Biden 273 electoral votes and the presidency. According to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), Biden wins with just over 5,000 votes…. Continue reading

Exit Polls Show Evangelical Support For Trump dropped 5%. Big Eva Rejoices

“Men and ministries that have encouraged people to either vote for the Democrats, or vote for either party include Tim Keller, JD Greear, TGC, 9 Marks Ministries, John Piper, David Platt, Thabiti Anyabwile, Russell Moore, and a host of others.”

(Protestia)  We wrote three weeks ago how certain men who make a living creeping in unawares have been waging a war to shave points off the evangelical vote for Trump and turn the tides of war towards the baby-killing braggarts of the Democratic Party. According to exit polls released by the New York Times, they got their wish. Continue reading

God, Glory, and Ungodly Rulers

“Not all political leaders who persecute the church, and not all individuals who belong to a mob burning churches and killing Christians, die instantly or suffer horrible deaths. But all of God’s enemies will face God’s judgment.”

(Bill Muehlenberg – Cultural Watch) God does not change. So what we find God to be like and to be doing in the Old Testament we also find in the New. Sure, Christians believe in progressive revelation, the idea that God did not fully reveal himself from day one, but instead he did so over time. Continue reading

Election Revealed Two Sides – Big Media/Big Tech vs. the People and Donald Trump

“In this election it was a story between academia, Hollywood, celebrities, Silicon Valley, the media, big banks and Wall Street. And who did Donald Trump have on his side? He had those people at the rallies, he had an outreach to minorities, he had talk radio and that’s about it.” 

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  “I’m worried,” Victor Davis Hanson told Fox News host Tucker Carlson Wednesday after the election.

He’s rightly concerned about the future of American elections and the outsized roles and biases that the media, pollsters, and Big Tech play in them. The people have become bit players. Continue reading

Yes, Democrats Are Trying To Steal The Election In Michigan, Wisconsin, And Pennsylvania

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist)  As of this writing, it appears that Democratic Party machines in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are trying to steal the election.

As reporters and commentators went to bed early Tuesday morning, all three states were too close to call, but President Trump led former Vice President Joe Biden by comfortable margins—far beyond what had been predicted in the polls. None of the networks called these states because enough mail-in ballots remained uncounted that it could swing either way, but Trump’s position looked good. Continue reading

Tim Challies: My Son, My Dear Son, Has Gone To Be With the Lord

Devastating news from Tim Challies this morning. Tim announced that his son unexpectedly passed from this life. “The Lord called my son home,” wrote Tim.  Here’s his statement:

In all the years I’ve been writing I have never had to type words more difficult, more devastating than these: Yesterday the Lord called my son to himself—my dear son, my sweet son, my kind son, my godly son, my only son. Continue reading

Dems Are Waking Up to an ‘Abject Disaster’

(Lea Barkoukis – Townhall)  Democrats predicted they’d see a blue wave on down ballot races but as of Wednesday morning, those hopes have been dashed. Appearing on MSNBC, Politico’s Jake Sherman told viewers in no uncertain terms that the 2020 election was an “abject disaster” for Democrats waking up in Washington.

“There’s no other way to explain this,” he said.

The same message went out to readers in the Playbook: Continue reading

Fraud Is Underway. ‘Frankly We Did Win This Election… We’ll Be Going to the Supreme Court’

“Trump looked into the crowd to Newt Gingrich and said, “I told you, Newt, there would be major fraud in our nation” and announced that he’d go to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the voting.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  President Trump made a quick appearance at the White House on election night while several key races still hung fire and told supporters he was expecting to have a celebration, but “all of a sudden the election is …off.” Continue reading

Limbaugh: Trump Base ‘Fed Up’ with the Left’s Attack on the Country — Left Would ‘Rip the Constitution to Shreds’ if They Had the Chance

(Trent Baker – Breitbart) Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday’s edition of FNC’s “Fox & Friends” sounded off on the election and the state of the country.

The longtime radio host predicted a President Donald Trump victory, which he said would preserve “the American way of life.” He cited Trump’s base as “fed up” with the barrage of attacks on the president, the “Russian conspiracy hoax,” cities being set on fire by Antifa and Black Lives Matter and shutdowns.

When Satan is in the Church…

“False doctrine is the principle way in which Satan seeks to gain a foothold in the church. It is not, as so many suggest, false religions existing without that threaten the life of the church–it is false doctrine within (Acts 20). The apostle Paul…were he alive today–wept over the prospect of false teachers rising up from among the Ephesian elders after he would depart.” 

(Nicholas T. Batzig – Feeding On Christ)  I sometimes fear that there is a willful naïveté in the church with regard to the presence and power of Satan. One doesn’t have to look far into the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, or the New Testament Epistles to discover the reality of the spiritual forces of darkness and to develop a theology of the assault tactics of the evil one….

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. Continue reading

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.
