(Daily Caller) Maximo Alvarez, whose family fled communist Cuba, said Monday night that he is choosing President Donald Trump because he is choosing “freedom.”

(Fox News) Jerry Falwell Jr. agreed on Monday to resign as president of Liberty University following a series of personal scandals that have overshadowed his tenure as head of the conservative Christian college in Virginia.
Falwell Jr., who took over the post from his late father in 2007, had been on thin ice following allegations he broke the evangelical university’s code of conduct after posting a picture of himself with a young woman on a yacht whose zipper was undone. Continue reading
I expect a similar exposition from the Republicans this week although President Trump may use his platform to scorch the earth. Mr. Trump is particularly angry these days over Covid destroying the economy, and the partisan press making his life miserable. So the President could give new meaning to the word “vent.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Here are some musings about the Democratic Convention. Apparently, I was one of the few Americans that actually watched some of it. Continue reading
(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) In the name of Black Lives Matter, rioters shut down the streets in Kenosha, Wisc., setting trucks on fire, patrolling the streets with semi-automatic rifles, and ransacking nearby businesses. The riot followed the release of a viral video showing Kenosha police repeatedly shooting a black man who resisted arrest and reached into his truck. The man, identified as 29-year-old Jacob Blake, appears to have a violent history. Blake is in critical condition at a nearby hospital, according to police. Continue reading
(PNP) Pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church (GCC) has received a phone from President Donald Trump in the midst of his fight to stay open for services, with the President thanking Dr. MacArthur for taking a stand as the two of them discussed the unbiblical notion of Christians voting for Democrats.
Pastor MacArthur revealed details of the surprising phone call during a recent interview with Ryan Helfenbein of Liberty University’s The Falkirk Podcast. Continue reading
“An easy rule of thumb to discover state and local overreach is this: civil government derives all its just powers from We the People. We the People can only grant to civil government powers to do things we could do ourselves. We hire them as our servants, delegate to them tasks we could do….”
(Jake MacAulay – News With Views) You’re a good parent. Let’s suppose you think it wise to buy a watchdog in order to protect your little girl from any intruders who may wish to do her harm. Continue reading
“It’s common knowledge that Kamala Harris began her career in an adulterous affair with former San Francisco Mayor, Willie Brown, who then appointed her to at least one position in government. Brown was 60 years old and Harris was just 29 at the time. So Kamala Harris, the strong, outspoken feminist candidate talking about the ‘year of the woman’ had a little help early in her career. Interesting.”
(David Fiorazo) Kamala Harris, the woman that, if Joe Biden becomes president, would be a heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the free world. Who is she?… Continue reading

“Gov Janet Mills says – servers must now wear face shields upside down so that their breath is directed up, not down. Yes she wants you to wear a dog cone… peak insanity. I wish this was a joke.. its real.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) As if things couldn’t get any more bizarre with the state of Maine’s response to its trickling number of COVID-19 cases, now comes word that restaurant servers will be required to wear cones of shame.
This is not fake news. It’s too real. Continue reading
(Sam Dorman – Fox News) It is “very disturbing” to hear Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden say he would be willing to put the country through another costly economic shutdown this winter if elected due to a combination of seasonal flu and coronavirus, Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Friday.
“First of all, we’re not even predicting a severe flu season because in the Southern Hemisphere, we’re not seeing it,” Siegel told host Tucker Carlson. Continue reading
“Let’s face it. If a dog isn’t a dog, mom is now dad, and a boy classmate is now Susie . . . the foundations have just been removed from under the children’s feet. If these young children can no longer trust their obvious lyin’ eyes, how will they know that 2+2 will always be 4? What is constant and what isn’t?”
(What’s Inside Children’s Books) Reality is defined as: “the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.” Reality is not subjective. Continue reading
“In a recent interview with Hanegraaff, Chan discusses the doctrine of transubstantiation as they make a number of dubious claims about the origin and authority of God’s word, the relationship between Protestantism and aberrant expressions of Christianity such as Roman Catholicism. Around the 40-minute mark, it becomes clear that none of these men are satisfied in Christ by hearing His word preached — they all demand more than that.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Several years ago, we broke the news that Hank Hanegraaff — known as “The Bible Answer Man” — had departed the faith deeply held by Protestants rooted on the five solas and, particularly, salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and joined the Eastern Orthodox Church….

“Hospitals have also reported a significant drop in admissions for other serious conditions, and even urgent referrals between hospitals have dissipated. This is a side effect of hysterical media reports and politicians overextending their reach of power. By overhyping the threat of this virus, they are compelling people to avoid seeking out urgent emergency services.”
(Brad Slager – Townhall) A long-suspected fear of the Covid-19 lockdowns is starting to come to light. In many parts of the world doctors are pointing to a very real probability that lockdown orders are leading to people dying from other serious maladies as a result of avoiding hospitals….

“Allberry’s insistence on using and popularising the phrase ‘same-sex attracted’ must be examined carefully as it is central to his message. He uses the phrase widely throughout his book and in his speaking engagements. Before critiquing this phrase, however, it may be useful to consider the importance of language and its power for good or for evil.”
(PNP) An excellent book is now available that examines the teachings of two of the most influential figures among evangelicals today: “The Hedonism and Homosexuality of John Piper and Sam Allberry: Turning the Grace of God into Lasciviousness.” Continue reading
“So what is the real story on hydroxychloroquine? Here, briefly, is what we know.”
(Steven Hatfill – The Federalist) On July 31, in a column ostensibly dealing with health care “misinformation,” Washington Post media critic Margaret Sullivan opened by lambasting “fringe doctors spouting dangerous falsehoods about hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 wonder cure.” Continue reading
(David Kaminer – LifeZette) The scum who have been terrorizing American cities are finding out there is a tough sheriff in charge at the Department of Justice. More than 200 miscreants have been charged with federal crimes and more than 1,000 arrests have been made in major cities since the DOJ launched Operation Legend in July, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Wednesday. Barr also noted over 400 firearms have been seized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Yeah, those “peaceful protesters” seem to have had lots of firepower. Continue reading
(PNP) Los Angeles County is deadly serious about bringing John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church to the knee, moving to hold the California megachurch in contempt after they held three separate morning services on August 16th, defying a last-minute court order that specifically forbade them from doing so, saying that even they must comply with the state’s lockdown restrictions. Continue reading
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) Kenneth Copeland is a multi-millionaire — a self-proclaimed billionaire, in fact — with a personal private jet and a mansion fit for a king. Copeland has gained his wealth by fleecing unsuspecting people in the name of Jesus in exchange for a false gospel — the prosperity gospel. Continue reading
(Hanna Bleau – Breitbart) Former President Bill Clinton, whose presidency was engulfed by an extramarital affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, lectured President Trump for bringing “chaos” into the Oval Office during his Tuesday evening address at the Democratic National Convention, drawing a swift reaction from members of the GOP, who could not help but note the irony. Continue reading
“I think a lot of what we’re seeing from some of these woke evangelical leaders is just virtue signaling, and it’s politicized thought wrapped in Bible verses.”
(Steve Jordahl – OneNewsNow) A former news and religion reporter with more than 25 years of Christian broadcasting experience says accusing the evangelical Church of being steeped in white supremacy is just some evangelical leaders’ way of trying to be relevant in today’s “woke” culture.

Citing numerous biographies and Marx’s own writings, Prof. Kengor reveals a man whose own family and friends were frightened by his demonic fits of rage and dark babblings about violence. His own father said he was “governed by a demon.”
(Robert Knight – Townhall) An important new book by historian Paul Kengor sheds considerable light on Karl Marx and by implication the madness and mob violence that has descended on the country. Continue reading
“Redding.com reported that after the meeting, officials in Shasta County, which tends to vote Republican, blamed Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom for the restrictions.”
(WND) A military veteran business owner in Northern California lit into his county’s leaders at a board of supervisors meeting, warning that restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic are threatening the lives of his family and many others. Continue reading
“This, sadly, comes as no surprise. Fear and anger are the most reliable drivers of engagement; scary tales of young victims of the pandemic, intimating that we are all at risk of dying, quickly go viral; so do stories that blame everything on your political adversaries. Both social and traditional media have been churning out both types of narratives in order to generate more clicks and increase their audience.”
(Ashe Schow – Daily Wire) New research suggests Americans have developed many misconceptions about their risk of death from the coronavirus pandemic…. Continue reading
“Who is Tim Keller? Is he Friend or Foe to the church and it’s place in American culture for the future? Time will tell but, given that his circles of influence just SPLIT HIS OWN DENOMINATION, things are not looking good for an honest assessment of Tim Keller and his legacy.”
(Thomas Littleton – Thirty Pieces of Silver) For years those who have followed Tim Keller closely have been warning about his true leftward political and social justice leanings. Now even the most skeptical fan of Christianity’s ”great thinker” can see where he stands and what values drive the man behind the theological mask…. Continue reading
“Kamala Harris joins the ranks of many big city power-hungry prosecutors who placed their own political interests ahead of child victims. Harris cannot claim that she is a warrior for child abuse victims. She chose to side with the powerful Catholic institutions over the suffering children. This is her legacy and those of us who fight for children are not going to let the American public forget that Kamala Harris protected predators at the expense of young vulnerable victims.”
(Cliff Kinkade – Renew America) With the Catholic Church seen by some as a criminal enterprise that covers up sex crimes by pedophile priests, the issue of whether there should be a Department of Justice investigation into allegations of Catholic clerical sex abuse has achieved national attention….

“Saturate 2020 and several other evidences of a striking increase in false prophetesses has given rise to deep concerns that godly evangelical men may be lured into their lair. The other day we received an email from a discerning friend who was very grieved, asking us how it is that seemingly godly men, respected and mature in the Lord, could possibly fall for these delusions. Below is our reply, which we post for our readers’ edification.”
(Herescope) Recent events in the world have jump-started some of the old intentions of the Latter Rain movement to create a false revival. In southern California at Huntington Beach a new uprising is identified as “Saturate 2020” and it is attempting to invoke a “great awakening” or a second Jesus movement…. Continue reading
