Biden Campaign Suspects Obama Is Working Behind the Scenes to Oust Joe

Scarborough added that Joe Biden “is deeply resentful of his treatment under not only the Obama staff but also the way he was pushed aside for Hillary Clinton,” and is similarly resentful of the effort to get him to drop out of the presidential race. “He’s always felt like an outsider, always felt like people have looked down upon him.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Thursday, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough made a striking claim: he asserted that President Joe Biden’s campaign believes that former President Barack Obama is working behind the scenes to pressure Biden to exit the presidential race. Continue reading

Caution! Some beloved Christian VIPs navigate the sheep down the primrose path that can lead to a life of sin

By Marsha West – Christian Research Network

Here I go again reporting on high-profile Christians who have shown a stunning lack of biblical discernment. I’ll begin by defining spiritual discernment and then I’ll name names. According to Got Questions discernment is “the ability to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” GQ reminds us that without the Spirit, the things of God are “foolishness.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)

It is the Holy Spirit that gives born again believers the mind of Christ. The Spirit gives us wisdom and discernment. Only those who are Spirit filled can properly distinguish between true and false teaching. How does one find the truth? By diligently searching the scriptures. (Acts 17:11) Revealing the names of people who lead us down the primrose path is not just scriptural, it is imperative that the Body of Christ know who the culprits are. So hold on to your hats while I expose two women you need to know about. Even though both are best-selling authors, speakers, and are frequent guests on popular podcasts, some of the people they laud are dangerous heretics, i.e. wolves in sheep’s clothing. 

I urge you to take time to ponder what I have to say here and then ask yourself this question: Are the things of God foolishness to me? Continue reading

Parkinson’s Expert Could Diagnose Joe from Across the Mall

“It’s one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose actually,” Dr. Pitts said. “And I’m a Democrat…this guy is not a hard case.”

(Mary Dowling) Dr. Tom Pitts appeared on “NBC News Now” Monday to discuss the Parkinson’s expert visiting the White House eight times in the last eight months. Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, wrote a letter stating that the expert had only seen Biden once during his annual exam. The other seven times were for other people. Continue reading

If Satan himself wrote biblically sound worship music, would you sing it in church?

“If the most evil being in existence can deceive with the appearance of goodness, how much more can his followers—these so-called worship leaders—seduce with their seemingly sound music? The snare of emotional highs and the superficial appeal of contemporary worship songs mask the underlying spiritual poison and false teachings of their creators.”

(The Dissenter) I recall attending worship services where the worship leader and band members spent more time interacting with the crowd and showcasing their vocal range and guitar riffs than pointing us to the true object of Christian worship—Jesus Christ. It’s been a while, but it always had me thinking about how the line between a secular concert and a worship service has become perilously blurred in modern Evangelicalism. Continue reading

The Biden Administration Has Been Involved in Massive Child Trafficking

“Whistleblowers assigned to process minors near the border said that children were being placed with people who clearly were not their relatives and when there was evidence of abuse and trafficking.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Biden administration is facing serious allegations of mishandling human trafficking issues after multiple whistleblowers claim that around 85,000 illegal immigrant children whom the Department of Homeland Security handed over to often inadequately vetted “sponsors” have since gone missing. Continue reading

If You Were Duped On Biden’s Cognitive Decline, You’re Too Dumb To Be A Journalist

“And if you knew, you were in on it.”

(David Harsanyi – The Federalist) By the time we saw Joe Biden’s debate debacle, the media had spent four years covering up his mental and physical decline to help Democrats. After Biden’s fragile mental state was exposed, the media instantaneously began pushing Biden out of the presidential race to help Democrats.

The goal remains the same.

The Wall Street Journal reports this week that Biden’s senior advisers “aggressively stage-managed” the president’s “schedule, movements and personal interactions, as they sought to minimize signs of how age has taken a toll on the oldest president in U.S. history.”… Continue reading

Cut to the chase: Four reasons to avoid Lori Alexander of godlywomanhood

Yes, Lori Alexander is a heretic. Here’s why.

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Today I look at 4 reasons not to follow Lori Alexander, half of the duo behind godlywomanhood/ The Transformed Wife.

1. Lori Disbelieves in Original Sin

In a post now scrubbed but saved in the Internet Archive (see link ‘Source’), Lori wrote in 2016: “Your children are born in the flesh. It’s not sinful yet since they haven’t sinned, just as Adam’s flesh wasn’t sinful before he sinned“. (Source on the site). Continue reading

Planned Parenthood Is a Leader in Transing Kids

“Earlier this year, Missouri AG Andrew Bailey accused the abortion giant of helping minors obtain both puberty blockers and “transgender” surgeries without parental consent.”

(Catherine Salgado – P Media) Abortion giant Planned Parenthood has found a new way to grow rich by abusing and exploiting America’s children: cross-sex hormones for “transgenders.”

The transgender surgery industry alone could reach a $5 billion value by 2030, not to mention all the other damaging “treatments” and accouterments for pretending to be the opposite sex…. Continue reading

Doctors Threatened For Questioning The Covid Regime Can Sue Tyrannical Credentialing Boards

“The DGB was devoted to seeking out and finding ‘disinformation,’ ‘malinformation,’ and, or pressuring people, including those on specialty boards and social media companies, to take action.”

(Ashley Bateman – The Federalist) In a landmark case, an appellate court judge has ruled that physicians threatened by credentialing boards for speaking out against Covid policies and abortion have sufficient standing in court. Continue reading

Is Creating Alternatives To The Gospel Coalition Even Possible?

“The Gospel Coalition…was doomed from the start. Tim Keller was always a theological liberal who pushed theistic evolution. He was not a pastor who “went woke.” He always was. Don “DA” Carson is a famous apologist. While I am unclear what his specialty was, Carson was one of the most significant figures in undermining biblical sexuality whereby he worked to advance the view that homosexual desires and identity are not sin and compatible with the Christian faith. He endorsed Greg Coles and Mark Yarhouse, and there most likely isn’t a Revoice Conference without Keller and Carson, The Gospel Coalition cofounders.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) As the founder of a discernment ministry, I have become greatly familiar with organizations like The Gospel Coalition and their pernicious influence on the church. I am also keenly aware of their size as one of the largest faith-based ministries on the internet…. Continue reading

Kamala for President

“Look, no person is perfect, we all make mistakes. Vice President Harris has endured a number of cheap shots and that is wrong. But if you study her record as a senator and now Vice President, you see a giant void when it comes to fairness and decision making. You also may note that she regularly uses skin color, gender and ethnicity to damage perceived opponents.”

(Bill O’Reilly) On Saturday, June 29, I posted analysis saying the chieftains of the Democratic Party had decided President Biden could not win reelection and the pathway forward was to sweep him aside without destroying the liberal infrastructure. Continue reading

Invoking The 25th Amendment Is Constitutional — And Democrats’ Best Hope

“There is no wiggle room. No “wait and see” if the president can convince the public he is fit for office, whether by choreographed appearances or edited prime-time interviews. Neither spin nor conspiracy theories can alter what the world saw during the debate: Biden’s mental incapacity.

(Margot Cleveland – The Federalist) The Democrats’ public struggle session over what to do with the problem of Joe Biden must end. They know, we know, and, most terrifyingly, America’s enemies know that our commander-in-chief is mentally incompetent. As such, the answer is clear, and the Constitution provides it: Joe Biden must be removed from office and the vice president sworn in as president. Continue reading

Conservative Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Excommunicated by Vatican for Schism and Defiance

“The tensions between Viganò and Pope Francis escalated in August 2018 when [conservative] Viganò accused the Pope of ignoring allegations of sexual abuse against former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. In an 11-page letter, Viganò claimed that he had informed the Pope about the allegations in 2013, but the Pope allegedly allowed McCarrick to continue serving publicly….Pope Francis has coddled those that abuse children and women. The archbishop wasn’t having any of it.

(Whatfinger) The Red Pope does not want anyone in the Catholic Church who is pro-Christian and tradition. He has made deals with Communist China to pick his Cardinals and Bishops, and he has made a complete fool of himself backing all woke agendas world-wide…. Continue reading

Ben & Jerry Tells Kids ‘to Ride Bikes Naked for Climate Change’

Dr. Eli David wrote: I’d rather have a Bud Light than Ben & Jerry’s Go woke, go broke. “Not that I know anyone still eating Ben and Jerry’s, but just reminding y’all to never buy their ice cream again,” wrote Laura Scanlon.

(Mary Dowling) Ben and Jerry of Ice Cream fame have a new ad telling children to become radical leftists like them. It gives them tips on how to do it. That includes marching for Marxist social justice and riding bikes naked. Continue reading

DISASTER: Biden Completely Disconnected From Reality in ABC Interview

“Stephanopoulos introduced the interview by claiming there had been “no cuts, no edits” to the video. “We have not touched it.” There was really no need. There was no way to pretty up the pig tonight.”

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) We got the first clue that something was very wrong when ABC News aired a clip of Joe Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

The partisan Democrat interviewer asked Biden why his debate performance was so bad after six days of rest at Camp David. Biden threw out some prepared talking points:… Continue reading

Save the Planet, Ditch Your Pets?

“Pierce’s take…could also be construed as another form of the oppressor vs. oppressed worldview — humans are the oppressors in this dynamic, and pets are the oppressed.”

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) TIME magazine recently published a piece by a bioethicist (red flag right there) named Jessica Pierce, who lays out the case against the practice of keeping pets. Pierce argues that, at its core, pet-keeping is hedonistic.

Her argument: It’s self-gratification because we love animals and they provide companionship, but what do pets get out of it?… Continue reading

From Fauci to Levine, feds covertly bend science to politics on COVID origin, gender confusion

“The most senior transgender official in the U.S. government was bearing down on WPATH to finish SOC 8 and ditch the draft’s age minimums of 14-17 for various hormonal and surgical procedures including castration and mastectomy.”

(Greg Piper – Just the News) Federal pressure on private parties to squelch challenges to Biden administration narratives, tacitly tolerated by the Supreme Court in a decision last month making it harder for social media users to sue public officials, goes beyond COVID-19, elections and Hunter Biden’s laptop. Continue reading

How the Huffington Post Delivered the Final Nail in the Coffin of the Biden ‘Cheap Fake’ Narrative

“Given the president’s concerning performance last week, it’s time for the Biden campaign to consider leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to effectively reach the voting public.”  

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) With Joe Biden’s mental health becoming a top 2024 issue, Democrats are in a bind. The June 27 debate was an unspinnable disaster. Biden can’t de-age, and it’s unlikely he’ll get better as the campaign season becomes even more grueling. He was still gassed after nearly two weeks of rest and vacation following two rudimentary presidential trips overseas before the debate and still got destroyed by Donald Trump…. Continue reading

Independance Day

(Mark Alexander – The Patriot Post) “Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” —Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms (1775)

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” Continue reading

How (and How Not) to Wait

“Biblical waiting involves embracing that you’re not in control, but you can talk to the one who is. You don’t know what’s going on, so you seek the one who does.”

(Mark Vroegop) Do you know anyone who likes to wait? I don’t.

If you were to take a quick survey, there’d be a strong consensus that waiting is difficult, annoying, or downright bad. Waiting should be avoided and not affirmed, right? Everyone knows that! Continue reading

Scott Jennings Lays Out What the ‘Big Lie’ for 2024 Is

“I’ve honestly stopped worrying about the campaign and I have one question. Who is running the White House today? Who is making decisions today? I’m not really worried about the presidency in January. I’m worried about it right now. We have serious problems going on right now and I don’t really think Joe Biden is up to the task today, let alone seven months from today.”

(Rebecca Downs – Townhall) Scott Jennings has provided a thoughtful and much needed conservative voice to CNN, who is often validated with his points about President Joe Biden’s decline. On Wednesday morning during “CNN News Central,” he pointed out the shameful “big lie” that has been going on this election cycle when it comes to gaslighting about the president’s mental acuity. Continue reading

BioLogos: The Deceptive Agenda to Undermine Biblical Truth with Evolutionary Mythology

“BioLogos, along with its figureheads like the late Tim Keller and Francis Collins, is actively working to erode the foundation of Christianity. They promote a version of faith that is palatable to the secular world but utterly devoid of the power of the gospel. These so-called Evangelical leaders are nothing more than wolves in sheep’s clothing, spreading false teachings that lead people away from God….”

(The Dissenter) This morning, I ran across an article by Gregory Adaka on BioLogos that claims you can reconcile faith in the living God with the religion of evolution—an increasingly popular claim in Christendom, yet a claim that is as absurd as it is dangerous. Continue reading

Jill Biden Has to Answer for Lies

(Mark Swanson – Newsmax) Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, told Newsmax on Tuesday that first lady Jill Biden has to answer for “lying” to the American people about her husband’s cognitive decline.

But the bigger issue, Leavitt told “Prime News,” is that as her husband’s caretaker, it’s incumbent on Jill Biden to convince President Joe Biden to step down as the party’s nominee. Instead, it’s more likely she and the president’s family will “shuffle him over the finish line in November.” Continue reading
