Woman Defeats Antifa Kids and Defends Teddy Roosevelt Statue

“It’s at this moment that we see the statue-haters in this antifa crowd for the first time. They are all young white people. One is wearing a shirt indicating he’s a student at American University in Washington, D.C.”

(Brian Preston – PJ Media)  First, the woman is simply a model of courage. Antifa has proven its tendency to leap straight to violence. She stands alone against them, unafraid to challenge them.

“You’re a domestic terrorist group and we will see to it that you fall and you fall so hard, you won’t know what hit you,” she tells them. Continue reading

Bill Johnson’s New Moneymaker: Bethel Launches Accredited Music College

Before reading what Bethel Church (of Satan) in Redding, California is up to now, you should know that Arch Heretic Bill Johnson claims that he’s a modern day Apostle, right up there with John, Peter and Paul. Apostle Bill is one of the top brass in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) cult. Despite attempting to distance himself from the NAR, there’s ample evidence that he’s part of it. Anyone who’s thinking about signing up for the online school should take some time to research Bill Johnson, Bethel Church and their band, Jesus Culture. Research articles are provided below.

Now to PNP’s piece:  Continue reading

Black Lives Matter Global Network Organization: ‘It’s News to Us’

“Karl Marx would love this; a capitalist government allowing tax deductions for money earmarked to destroy it.”

(Bill O’Reilly)  Americans are divided, angry, sad, inspired in some cases, and watchful of the Black Lives Matter Movement.  This week one of its leaders proclaimed on national TV that “if this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn the system down.”

Hawk Newsome continued saying he might be talking figuratively … or literally. Continue reading

Antifa and Muslim Groups Plan to ‘Police Minneapolis Under Muslim Rule’

(Robert Spencer – Front Page Magazine)  As the city of Minneapolis moves to dismantle its police force, Minnesota state Rep. Steve Green on Tuesday stated the obvious that virtually everyone else has been tiptoeing around and pretending isn’t there: “What you’re looking at, in my humble opinion, is communism moving into Minneapolis and St. Paul.” And not just Communism, but the Leftist/Islamic alliance. Green asserted that Antifa and Muslim organizations plan to “police Minneapolis under Muslim rule.” Those who scoff at such a notion simply aren’t paying attention to recent developments.

‘First They Topple The Statues, Then They Start Killing People’

Tim Scott blasts Pelosi over ‘outrageous, sinful’ claim GOP wants to ‘get away with murder’ of George Floyd

“That tells me that their issue is not police reform, their issue is not helping the kids in the poorest neighborhoods, their issue is a political issue … so that, they for the next four months have a chance to campaign on police reform without exactly solving the issues of police reform.” 

(Joshua Nelson – Fox News)  Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., tore into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Friday, telling Fox News Radio‘s “The Guy Benson Show” that her remark accusing the GOP of “trying to get away with … the murder of George Floyd” was “the most outrageous, sinful comment I’ve heard as a public official.” Continue reading

Truth is defined as that which conforms with fact or reality

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

What is truth? This question raised by Pilate, when Jesus Christ stood trial before him, exposed his own worldview. He lived in a world in which absolute truth did not exist. I think Pilate’s voice was dismissive and filled with disdain. I imagine he sneered in mockery, angry that Christ dared to speak with truth. Though he looked straight into the face of the incarnate Truth, he could not discern it. Pilate was like so many today, a postmodernist, but one living in premodern times. Continue reading

Virginia Charging Huge Fines For Churches, Ministries For Their Beliefs

(John Harding – My Christian Daily)  On July 1, churches, Christian schools, and other religious ministries with theologically orthodox views on marriage will no longer be welcome in Virginia.

And if you are among those operating a ministry in accordance with your religious beliefs about marriage and human sexuality, the state has declared a sort-of legal “open season” on you. The first offense comes with a fine of up to $50,000. Subsequent offenses come with fines of up to $100,000! Continue reading

Former US attorney: Flynn case was ‘manipulated’ at highest levels of Obama admin to go after Trump

(David Montanaro – Fox News)  Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s rights were violated and he should consider a lawsuit against the Department of Justice and former Obama administration officials, former U.S. attorney Brett Tolman said Friday on “Fox & Friends.”

“That’s why there is an action called a Bivens action. That is to go after a federal investigator that violates someone’s constitutional rights. It’s specific for that occasion and I hope is he looking at it strongly,” said Tolman, an attorney who served as a federal prosecutor in Utah from 2006 to 2009.

South Dakota Tribal Leader On Mt. Rushmore: Remove It, But Don’t Blow It Up, Less Environmental Damage That Way

(Hank Berrien – Daily Wire)  On Tuesday, South Dakota GOP governor Kristi Noem reacted to speculation that anyone might try to get rid of Mt. Rushmore by tweeting succinctly, “Not on my watch.”

But on Thursday, USA Today quoted that a tribal leader of the Sioux nation saying that although Mt. Rushmore should not be blown up, it should be removed. Continue reading

If You Supported Black Lives Matter, Don’t Complain About Coronavirus Spike

“The Black Lives Matter protests shattered national unity. They took a rare moment of agreement on the George Floyd killing — which everyone condemned — and turned it into a divisive confrontation over so-called “systemic racism.”

(Joel B. Pollack – Breitbart)  The U.S. recorded its highest number of corona virus cases in a single day on Wednesday, though deaths and death rates continue to fall. The data continued an upward trend that began earlier this month, and President Donald Trump’s critics have pounced on the news as evidence that he mismanaged the COVID-19 pandemic. Continue reading

NYC sees staggering shooting numbers; top cops warn of ‘storm on the horizon’

(Fox News)  The New York Police Department has reported a staggering increase in shooting  numbers, and injuries, as officials warn there’s “a storm on the horizon” – and say changes must be made.

An estimated 72 people were wounded in 53 shootings citywide from June 15 through Sunday night, an NYPD spokesperson said Monday morning. The department saw 14 shooting victims in 12 shootings for the same time period last year, data shows. Continue reading

Beware: The Woke Mob Is Targeting You Next, Small-Town America

“Disagreeing with the Marxist goals of BLM and opposing looting and violence will get you in trouble no matter how small your town is.”

(Jeff Reynolds – PJ Media)  Woke mobs are coming for you if you are an elected official with conservative values. In cities and towns all across America, organized and well-funded protest groups have begun attacking city councilors, mayors, county commissioners, and members of school boards. It’s not just the big cities. Increasingly, small towns have faced similar harassment. The woke mob has targeted local elected officials for the sin of not being sufficiently woke. Its goal appears to be to intimidate conservatives from getting involved at any level of government. It also appears that the mob efforts are expanding faster than anyone realizes.

Here in Oregon, the small, rural, conservative-leaning towns of Estacada and Mollala have recently seen elected officials threatened with recall. In Oregon City, a medium-sized city south of Portland, a protest group has organized a recall against the mayor. The suburb of Gresham saw resignations from its mayor, city manager, and chief of police. And in Salem, the state’s capital, several school board members have been targeted for destruction.  View article →

The conservative voice and Christian content is being silenced more and more. Stay informed by signing up to receive CRN’s need to read articles.

(Fox News)  A federal appeals court on Wednesday ordered a lower court to allow the case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to be dismissed, as requested by the Justice Department — likely ending the years-long legal saga stemming from the Russia investigation.

The abrupt ending came in a 2-1 ruling and order from judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Continue reading

A chilling warning about where the statue-toppling leads…

“Among many Venezuelans, there were stories about flight. There was terror about crime and lawlessness and criminals being allowed to rampage to keep the population docile. There were conversations about whether it would be wise to collaborate with the CIA. There were warnings about not talking too loudly, even in English, in restaurants.” 
(Monica Showalter – American Thinker) Think it can’t happen here? 

It can happen here. Continue reading

Trump orders law enforcement to arrest memorial vandals under federal act with up to 10-year sentence

(Washington Examiner)  President Trump said he has authorized federal law enforcement to arrest those caught vandalizing memorials and charge them under the Veterans’ Memorial Preservation and Recognition Act.

“I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent,” the president tweeted Tuesday morning.

BLM Leader: Statues and Stained Glass of Jesus Are ‘White Supremacy,’ Must Be Torn Down

Yet King is utterly, inexcusably wrong about Jesus being a symbol of “white supremacy.” Jesus firmly condemned racism, crossing racial barriers to make the Good Samaritan the hero of one of His parables and speaking with the Samaritan woman at the well. His disciples would teach that “there is no Jew or Greek, no slave or free, no male or female, but we are all one in Christ Jesus.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  On Monday, Black Lives Matter leader and former Bernie Sanders surrogate Shaun King called for the demolition or removal of all statues, murals, and stained glass windows of “white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends,” i.e. the Twelve Apostles….

Video surfaces of Black Lives Matter founder saying, ‘We are trained Marxists’

(Disrn)  A 2015 video clip has surfaced of an interview with Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors in which she assures her interviewer that the group has an underlying ideology, saying, “We’re trained Marxists.”

Watch the video on the site

Responding to the interviewer’s concern that the BLM movement might not have enough of a “clear ideological structure,” Cullors responded by saying that she and another co-founder “in particular” are dedicated to the ideology of Communist leader Karl Marx: Continue reading

The Miserable Pseudo-Science Behind Face Masks, Social Distancing And Contact Tracing

“The American public is being spoon-fed a steady diet of pseudo-science in order to justify the wearing of face masks, social distancing and contact tracing. Yet, the actual science points in the polar opposite direction. … Furthermore, those who try to present the real science are shamed, ridiculed and bullied for having such narrow-minded views.”  

(Patrick Wood – Technocracy)  Once upon a time, there was something called science. It included the discovery of truth about nature, the elements, the universe, etc…. Continue reading
