We Have to Talk About Friday’s Kamala Interview

“Overwhelmed, cringey, evasive Kamala Harris made a comeback, serving up patented word salads. The reason her team is clearly avoiding interviews came, once again, into very clear focus.”  

(Guy Benson – Townhall) This is sure to be overtaken by the second failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump in the span of just three months, but it merits additional scrutiny, beyond Sarah’s thorough coverage over the weekend.  On Friday evening, the first televised solo interview of Kamala Harris aired on a local ABC station in Philadelphia. Yes, the first and only TV interview featuring just Kamala Harris as her party’s presidential candidate thus far took place in mid-September, about a month-and-a-half after Joe Biden was driven out of the race….

Religious Pluralism: The Roman Catholic Church’s Last Ditch Effort to Undermine the Gospel

The pope wants us to believe that all these different religions are just “different languages” to arrive at God. This may sound poetic, but it’s pure nonsense. There are no “different languages” to God. There is one gospel—salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. The apostle Paul wrote with the utmost urgency: “If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:9).

(The Dissenter) Some Catholics call him “Papa,” and others call him the “holy father.” Yet, despite these terms of endearment for a man who sets himself up in the place of Christ, The Roman pope, who goes by Francis, continues the Catholic tradition of leading people down a path of spiritual compromise and confusion—and ultimately, to Hell.

Second assassination attempt since July raises question how shooter got within 500 feet of Trump

“We must ask ourselves how an assassin was allowed to get this close to President Trump again? There continues to be a lack of answers for the horrific assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and we expect there to be a clear explanation of what happened today in Florida.” Rep. Elise Stefanik

(John Solomon – Just the News) Secret Service agents disrupted the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life in two months, but difficult questions remain on how a would-be assassin with an AK-47 rifle got within 500 feet of the former president while he was golfing and why anti-Trump vitriol in America rages on. Continue reading

Trump Is Safe Following Gunshots in His Vicinity, Says Campaign

Donald Trump Jr. posted on X, formerly Twitter, that that “An AK-47 was discovered in the bushes, per local law enforcement. … A suspect has reportedly been apprehended.”

(Newsmax) President Trump is safe after what was described as a “security incident” near his West Palm Beach golf club.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump said. He said no further details will be provided.

Early reports were conflicting. Continue reading

Dem Senator Says Americans Will Be ‘Appalled’ By Interim Report on Trump Assassination Attempt

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Democratic Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal made some stunning comments on Thursday following a closed-door briefing by acting Secret Service director Richard Rowe.

Rowe testified before a joint committee looking into the security failures during the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The Joint Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Senate Committee on the Judiciary will release an interim report “shortly” according to Blumenthal. Continue reading

Bill O’Reilly Exposes the Horror We Face If Harris Wins

“She co-signed Bernie’s healthcare bill, and she will do whatever she can to undermine private health insurance. She will try to break health insurance companies, and our health insurance policies will skyrocket.”

Sentinel reported that Marxist Harvard Professor Kaus attended the DNC Convention committees and laid out some of the most alarming goals Democrats have once Kamala Harris wins. It included ending the filibuster, destroying the Third Branch of government, and passing every initiative they had on Voting Rights. Bill O’Reilly presented his views on Sid Rosenberg’s radio show this morning. He added it to the list, and it will make you ill. It’s not only logical, it’s alarming. Continue reading

IHOPKC Finally Investigated By Independent Outside Group With Law-Enforcement Expertise

Firefly, a neutral third-party, is comprised of “current and retired law enforcement investigators, seasoned therapists, and forensic interviewers from throughout the country.”

(Protestia) For nearly a year, former International House of Prayer-Kansas City (IHOPKC) leaders known as The Advocacy Group have been clamoring and insisting that Mike Bickle and his former ministry undergo a thorough investigation by an independent third-party group, and it looks like they’ve gotten their wish. Continue reading

Former Clinton Advisor Calls For Internal Investigation Into ABC for Rigging Presidential Debate Against Trump

(Christina Laila – Gateway Pundit) Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn called for an investigation into ABC News for rigging the presidential debate against Trump.

Trump and Kamala Harris faced off for their first presidential debate on Tuesday.

It was 3 against 1. The debate moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, fact-checked Trump at every turn yet and they ignored all of Kamala Harris’s lies.

Kamala Harris told over two dozen lies and dodged questions but the moderators did not fact-check her.

NOT ONCE. Continue reading

Cultural Christianity Is Not Enough

“We need to know, hold to, and unashamedly teach what the Bible teaches regarding the existence of God, the origin of man, and the design of the sexes. But to take it further, to understand that we also need to know, hold to, and unashamedly teach the attributes of God, like His holiness, justice, and goodness.”  

(Jacob Tanner – Clear Truth Media) The Psalmist says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain” (Ps. 127:1). Continue reading

Everything You Need to Know About Kamala in Her Own Words in One Place

“We have to stay woke. Everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokist or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.”
(Rebecca Mansour & Alana Mastrangelo – Breitbart) Kamala Harris has given a single televised interview and no press conferences since becoming the Democrats’ nominee for president. Given the establishment media’s unprecedented blocking, tackling, and gaslighting (including the 9/10 debate), we’ve assembled over 100 videos of Kamala Harris in her own words so that the American people can see where she stands and who she is.

On the site is a list of links to must watch videos that reveal who she really is, starting with… Continue reading

Exposing the Campaign for Immorality

By John MacArthur

The 2024 Democratic National Convention is a revelation of the sinful depths to which our society has sunk. It’s a celebration of all that God hates.

A keynote speaker, Oprah Winfrey, declared that without aborting babies there is no American dream. Achieving limitless abortion is at the top of their agenda. The Democratic party has become a death cult.

“For he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord. But he who sins against me injures himself; all those who hate me love death.” PROVERBS 8:35–36 Continue reading

ABC Moderators Were Lying: EIGHT ‘Aborted’ Babies Were Born Alive & Then Left to Die in Minnesota

Unless I’ve missed a memo, Minnesota is a state in the United States of America. So why did Linsey Davis choose to interject herself into the presidential debate, correct and chastise one of the candidates, and smugly declare there’s “no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born”?

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” said ABC debate moderator Linsey Davis, as she smugly “fact-checked” the Republican nominee. “Madam vice president, I want to get your response to President Trump.” Continue reading

This one question Harris refused to answer at the debate says it ALL…

“Team Harris knows Americans aren’t better off—we’re worse than ever. That’s not even up for debate—no pun intended. So, they’re betting on the idea that enough people would rather stay in hopelessness, poverty, and endless wars than see President Trump retake the White House. That’s how stupid and brainwashed they think American voters are, and sadly, in many cases, they’re right.” 

(Revolver) The much-anticipated debate between President Trump and Kamala Harris took place last night. President Trump didn’t need to do much—he just had to hold his ground and remind everyone that Kamala’s had nearly four years to fix all the problems she keeps talking about, yet instead, everything’s only gotten worse…. Continue reading

Alistair Begg Announces He’s Retiring From Senior Pastor at Parkside Church

“Earlier this year however, he came under intense criticism and was dropped from several radio stations when, during a recent program of Truth for Life, Begg offered a scenario where a Christian woman called in saying that her grandson is about to marry a ‘transgendered person’ (either another man who has ‘transitioned’ to a ‘woman’, or a woman who has ‘transitioned’ into a ‘man’) and wanted to know if she should attend the wedding.”

(Protestia) During the September 9 evening service, Alistair Begg announced to the congregation of Parkside Church that he’ll be formally stepping down from his role as Senior Pastor in a year’s time.

In the last few weeks, I have informed the elders of the church of my decision to relinquish my role as the senior pastor here at Parkside. Not tonight, not tomorrow night, and not for twelve months of nights. But on the fourteenth of September, 2025, God willing, I will make it that long. Continue reading

Preston Sprinkle Assembles LGBTQ and Other Woke Activists to Release New Study Bible

“Do you think their Study Bible will be a book about the gospel, sin, salvation, and the glory of God? Or will it be a manual for social justice activism, LGBTQ affirmation, and wealth redistribution?”

(The Dissenter) Today’s the day, folks! Preston Sprinkle, the theologian extraordinaire of the pro-LGBTQ leftist evangelical machine, founder of the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender, and one of the original board members of Revoice, is back with his latest attempt to completely undermine biblical orthodoxy. Continue reading

The Debate Was So Biased It Was Divorced From Reality. Trump Should Refuse To Do Another

“It was noted often on social media that Trump was really debating three people. That’s always the case for the Republican in these MSM-hosted debates though. Complaining about that is like going to an NBA game and whining about all of the tall people on the court. Yes, Trump should have been better prepared for it but in my opinion, he should never have agreed to an ABC debate in the first place.”  Stephen Kruiser

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) Tuesday night during the presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the fact-checks were flying, but only in one direction. As expected, ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis were criminally biased, making the debate effectively three-on-one against Trump and practically amounting to an in-kind donation to the Harris campaign. Continue reading

Your Kids Need REAL Answers To Hard Questions

(Vanessa Hunt – Real Truth Media) I felt his little body tense up next to me in the pew. We had arrived at one of those interludes during the worship portion of the church service where everything gets a bit quieter, lights are lowered, the music softens and the worship leader begins to speak from the heart; a mini-sermon if you will. “Church”, he said, “If you don’t enjoy singing in worship here on earth then you’re definitely not going to enjoy heaven!”

As soon as I heard those words my heart sank because I knew how they would be interpreted by my inquisitive, busy, rambunctious 8-year-old son…. Continue reading

Christianity Today Editor Urges Parents to Ship Children Off to Public School Indoctrination Camps

“This is about as well-thought-out as sending lambs into a den of wolves and calling it “strength training” for the lambs. McDade, and her ilk—people like Russell Moore, David French, Mike Cosper, and every other wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to convince Christians that their kids need exposure to secular indoctrination camps—are deeply confused at best, and dangerous at worst.”

(The Dissenter) Stefani McDade, a cronie of Russell Moore—both of whom seem to have taken up residence as thought-leaders in leftist Christianity—has been named the “theology editor” at Christianity Today. Yes, that Christianity Today—once a respectable outlet for serious Christians but now a glorified progressive mouthpiece masquerading as a platform for the faithful. Continue reading

The Kamala Mystery

“But there is a counter-strategy and that is Donald Trump seizing the moment on Tuesday evening to “muse” about things he would like Kamala to address.  Not questions from Trump, just statements. Such as, “As an American I’m confused how the 1.4 inflation rate I left the country turned into 9 percent under Biden-Harris. It would be great if my opponent could explain that.”

(Bill O’Reilly) We the people don’t know much about history, as the song goes.  Especially where Vice President Harris fits into it. It’s not our fault.  Kamala won’t say how she will solve the massive problems Joe Biden created or even what her vision for the country actually is. Continue reading

Enjoying the Anger of Jesus

“Perhaps we’re shocked by an angry Jesus. This Jesus may be less familiar and perhaps even less attractive. But this is not only an essential aspect of his character; it’s also good news. We can and should enjoy the anger of Jesus.”

(Tim Chester) Here’s a surprise. In preparation to write about how we relate to Jesus day by day in the here and now, I re-read the Gospels. I was looking out for how he related to people when he was on earth as pointers to how he relates to his people now from heaven. Much of what I found was what I expected. He cares, protects, energizes, touches, and intercedes for his people—then and now. But one thing took me by surprise: Jesus on earth was often angry. Continue reading

House Republicans put Hunter Biden on hold, switch investigative focus to Harris, Walz

“Walz long promoted a Minnesota-based medical research center with a history of working with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.” 

(Charlotte Hazard – Just the News) As election day is just two months away, House Republicans will shift their focus away from investigating first son Hunter Biden and instead investigate Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz.

House Republicans have already launched probes into Minnesota Democratic Gov. Walz and in the coming days, Harris is expected to be investigated by the House. Continue reading

Pure Fire: Gov. Sarah Sanders Hits the Big Issue With the Cheneys, Other ‘Republicans’ Endorsing Harris

(Becca Lower – Red State) Liz Cheney’s fifteen minutes were up several years ago, to borrow the famous phrase from the late, pop artist/filmmaking genius Andy Warhol. Yet she persists, seemingly only fixated on one goal in life: Demonizing former President Donald Trump and doing whatever she possibly can to prevent voters from returning him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in November.

RedState has written many stories on her and her family’s (among others’) recent endorsement of the radical leftist Dem nominee, Kamala Harris. Continue reading

Photo Essay — Kamala Harris’s ‘Middle-Class’ Upbringing in Westmount, Canada

“Extremely fortunately for her, she has found herself running for president in a moment when the media and elites are at their absolute dumbest and laziest, won’t bother to analyze policy, and, instead, sum up a candidate’s entire identity and worldview solely on physical traits, like race. So, she takes advantage of this moment — using her race as some sort of tool to give the opposite impression of the immense privilege (as you can see) she really comes from and deflecting from her lack of connection to or solutions for the real working class.”

(Emma-Jo Morris – Breitbart) Now that she is running for president in a political moment when victimhood is currency, Vice President Kamala Harris paints herself as being brought up on the “streets” — complete with fake accents as part of her bit. Continue reading
