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

All of This Hunter Biden Stuff Might Have Been Helpful Four Years Ago

“Hunter Biden is a bottomless pit of sleaze, side-hustle grift, and outright criminality. Even the most cursory examination of his “career” reveals that he’s the kind of guy you would definitely not want to be associated with the leader of the free world. Had the American people been given the chance to take a closer look at Hunter’s various dealings, Joe Biden might not have gotten elected even with the help of the Magic Mail-In Ballot Machine. Many polls taken since 2020 have borne that out.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) It has been almost two years since Elon Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter, which he has since rebranded with the gentlemen’s club name “X”, and the leftists haven’t toned down any of their shrieking about it. To them, Musk is a thought criminal who allows people from all across the political spectrum to express themselves…. Continue reading

N.T. Wright Trashes American Christians For Their Views on Abortion and Gun Rights: ‘I do not see an educated electorate’

(Protestia) N.T. Wright says Americans’ defense of gun rights is inconsistent with their defense of the unborn, because they are too polarized by social media, they accept “over-simplified” arguments to fall in line with a particular leader, they can’t handle “nuance,” and ultimately, they just aren’t an “educated electorate.”

But does this sound like a nuanced, educated take on gun laws?

“When I go to America, it always astonishes me that the same people are vitriolically opposed to abortion and vitriolically in favor of everybody carrying guns and being prepared to shoot people at any time. Continue reading

Mike Signorelli Blames Online Discernment Ministries for the Shooting of Greg Locke’s Home

“Let’s take a moment to consider something even more obvious—with all of Locke’s inflammatory rhetoric on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it’s far more likely that this attack was carried out by some pro-Palestinian fanatic than by anyone associated with a Calvinistic or cessationist discernment blog.”

(The Dissenter) Earlier this week, Greg Locke’s home was sprayed with bullets—an act of violence that could have claimed the lives of Locke’s children, demonstrating just how spiritually lost some people have become. The fact that anyone would place children in harm’s way over political disagreements should raise alarm bells about the condition of our society. Continue reading

With Bad and Worse Options, How Should Christians Think About Voting in This Climate?

(The Dissenter) The tightrope we conservatives are forced to walk these days is starting to feel more like a razor’s edge—painful, precarious, and sometimes downright unbearable. On the one hand, we have a GOP that can’t seem to muster the backbone to stand firm on one of the most crucial moral issues of our time: the sanctity of life. On the other, we have the Democratic Party—a political juggernaut of moral decay, soon to be led by the likes of KKKamala Harris, whose hypocrisy, deceit, and incompetence would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.

The dilemma we face is real, and I feel it as much as anyone. Continue reading

What the Covenant School Killer’s ‘Manifesto’ Revealed

“Secularism as an ideology promotes the idea that God does not exist or is entirely inconsequential if He does exist. Furthermore, secularism suggests that meaning and purpose ultimately don’t exist. With young people being fed this inherently hopeless and depressing ideology, it comes as little surprise that it breaks many of them…” 

(Thomas Gallatin – The Patriot Post) After almost 18 months of legal proceedings in Nashville, Tennessee, the relevant journal pages kept by the Covenant School assailant have been published. Tennessee Star Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy had filed suit to obtain numerous diaries and messages the assailant had written prior to the assault. Continue reading

Democrats Want To Keep The U.S. Border Wide Open As An Electoral Strategy

“For many years it was openly and unashamedly argued among Democrats that the key to future electoral success was importing immigrants in the belief that they would vote Democrat.” 

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist)  If you want to know where Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats stand on the border and immigration, a recent exchange between former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Bill Maher tells the tale. Continue reading

Our Nation Needs To Repent. How Do We Actually Do That?

“God has blessed our nation. We need fearless leaders, from every place of influence, to be a collective voice in leading the nation in repentance, just as Josiah and Jeremiah did.”

(Wes Martin – Clear Truth Media) We are indebted to God for his many blessings to us as a nation. Though not the only nation to have experienced something like this, things like the founding of modern democracy that has established a constitutional republic with checks and balances, the Bill of Rights that has set a precedent for individual liberties and inspired human rights across the globe, massive economic blessing, innovation and entrepreneurship or Christian missions to the world, we’re beyond blessed and we know it. The term ‘American Exceptionalism’ has a lot of truth to it. Continue reading

The Willful Gross Negligence in the Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump

“But what we have found is this: We know that after the shooting that was taking place by Thomas Crooks that you had people on the stage who didn’t even know [what] the security plan was, because you [could] hear them going: what are we doing: what are we doing: what are we doing.

(Mary Dowling) We may not know enough to say the Secret Service knew President Trump would be shot on July 13th, but we have enough information to say there was willful gross negligence by the Secret Service, and no one has been fired or gone to prison for it. The cover-up has been blatant and extensive, from cleaning the crime scene immediately, burning the killer’s body, and hiding the killer’s family and the collection of evidence from the public. Continue reading
