New details reveal just how disastrous Zelensky’s faceplant really was…

“War is the will of the few, not the many. Speaking of, a viral clip is making the rounds on social media, allegedly showing Ukrainian soldiers hoping for an end to the war.”

(Revolver) Zelensky’s grip on power is crumbling, and the Ukraine war narrative is collapsing along with it. With the Biden regime out and America First is in, President Trump and Vice President JD Vance are refusing to bankroll the Deep State’s endless wars.

The “blank-check” era is over. Let’s face it, Americans are fed up with sending billions overseas while their own country spirals into the abyss…. Continue reading

Is Progressive Christianity Christian?

Will the “old guard” liberals stand up for ideals they devoutly championed just “yesterday?” Or will they just keep their mouths shut and embrace the new – and very dogmatic “religion” of the far-left “Progressives”?

(Don and Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) In his 1923 book Christianity & Liberalism, J. Gresham Machen asserts that liberalism is another religion unto itself, far removed from the biblical Christianity from which it came. We think he makes some good points. In Chapter Two of his book, he takes the liberalism (of his day) to task concerning their public hostility toward doctrine – when, in fact, they had simply created new doctrines that comport with what Machen points out is essentially a new religion….

Christians should reject ‘gay identity’ in its entirety

“When we surrender to Christ as Lord and Savior all of us are surrendered to Him, including our sexual brokenness. Scripture tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12), not to hold onto our dirty flesh and pridefully argue for its perpetual existence in our lives (Pr. 8:13). The belief that homosexual desires are permanent implies that God is not powerful enough to deal with homosexual sin.”

(Taylor Simon Maxwell) There is a sinister movement that has crept into the Church. It goes by a few names, some of which include “Gay Celibate Theology” or “Side B Christianity.” I like to call it demonic.

Those who identify as Gay Celibate Christians will mostly affirm that God created two genders, male and female (Gen. 1:27), and that sex is reserved for marriage (Gen. 2:24). So far so good, right? Wrong…. Continue reading

Perjury? Former NIH director Collins defends COVID record by distorting mask study, author says

(Greg Piper – Just the News) Stanford medical professor Jay Bhattacharya faces his first confirmation hearing to lead the National Institutes of Health next week, but his predecessor –  who once dismissed Bhattacharya as a “fringe epidemiologist” for opposing COVID-19 lockdowns – is still a lightning rod for controversy and could even find himself in legal trouble.

Lawyers for Francis Collins, the longest-serving director in NIH history, protested the “material misrepresentations” about COVID mitigations and himself in the final report of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which said the feds lacked evidence for “broadly requiring masking,” before it shuttered last year.

Trump Blows up at Zelenskyy in Fiery Oval Office Meeting, Boots Him From White House

Update: President Donald Trump has kicked Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy out of the White House following the tense exchange:

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Original Article:  In a tense Oval Office meeting on Friday, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance engaged in a fiery exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marked by sharp accusations and heated rebuttals. The confrontation underscored deep frustrations as Trump and Vance pressed Zelenskyy on his apparent ingratitude for the Trump administration’s efforts to end the war. Continue reading

The Problem with Personality Tests

The Enneagram was developed in 1916 by man named G. I. Gurdjieff who believed it was a mystical way to understand all truth (which Jesus would have a thing or two to say about.) It did not become a personality test until the 1970s, when Claudio Naranjo engaged in the occultic practice of “automatic writing” by entering a trance-like state that permitted spirits to guide his hand as wrote about the Enneagram (1 John 4:1 anyone?). 

(Doug Ponder – Clear Truth Media) I once spoke at a conference where I was asked to address several controversial topics, the kind that tend to get someone’s hackles up when they do not like what the Lord has said about this or that. Yet I drew the most ire, not from the exposition of hard truths in our soft times, but from an offhanded remark I made about my disdain for personality tests…. Continue reading

Megyn Kelly reveals on program that she was likely injured by mRNA covid vaccine

(Ben Marquis – Conservative Institute) Though previously largely silenced or dismissed by the federal government and the media, thousands of Americans have spoken out about alleged injuries and new medical issues they were diagnosed with after receiving an mRNA-style covid-19 vaccine.

That legion has now been joined by a particularly prominent and loud voice, conservative-leaning podcaster Megyn Kelly, who revealed on her show this week that she, too, is suffering ill effects from vaccines she previously received, according to the Daily Mail. Continue reading

PCUSA Policy Places ‘Trans’ Boys in Girls Cabins and Showers at Camps and Blames Girls If They Don’t Like It

“The same denomination that can’t figure out why their pews are emptying at record speed is bending over backward to accommodate whatever the activists demand this week. Boys in the girls’ cabins? Sure. Gender-fluid theology that makes a mockery of God’s created order? Of course. Apologies for all the centuries of so-called “bigotry” for believing men and women actually exist? Absolutely.”

(The Dissenter) There’s an old saying about foxes guarding henhouses. It turns out the Presbytery of Western North Carolina has taken that metaphor and cranked it up to eleven, not just letting the foxes guard the chickens, but setting up a cozy little Airbnb for them right inside the coop…. Continue reading

President Trump appoints Paula White, who has been rubbing shoulders with NAR ne’er do wells for decades, to head new faith office

By Marsha West – Christian Research Network

Calm down those of you who oppose Donald Trump’s appointment of his long time “spiritual adviser” (choke) Paula White-Cain as head of the reestablished White House faith office to “assist faith-based entities, community organizations, and houses of worship in their efforts to strengthen American families, promote work and self-sufficiency, and protect religious liberty.” The way I look at it is that having a high-profile position like this is going to make it a whole lot easier to identify her friends and supporters, the folks conservative Christians must watch out for and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18. Some individuals we already know about, some we don’t know about, and we’re on the verge of discovering who makes up the latter.

In 2016 I penned the following in Would Jesus Refer to Certain People On Trump’s Christian Advisory Committee As Serpents and Hypocrites: Continue reading

Did an acting US Attorney erase a major Dem scandal right before Trump took over?

“This doesn’t sound like your run-of-the-mill shady financial scandal—it’s seeming to paint a very clear picture of how deep the corruption runs when politics, power, and privilege collide. A Dem mega-donor, Hollywood elites and a so-called environmental crusader—protected by the very system that should’ve held him accountable. More Dem lawfare, working to protect them at all costs.”

(Revolver) Looks like the swamp was working overtime in the final hours before President Trump took office. That’s what Daily Wire reporter Luke Rosiak thinks happened. He just dropped a bombshell story that raises one glaring question: Did an “acting” US attorney quietly erase a major Dem scandal just before Trump took the reins? Continue reading

SBC Credentials Committee Approves and Affirms Church With Female Teaching Pastor

“The credentials committee, supposedly the doctrinal watchdog of the SBC, was caught flat-footed. What were they to do? Was a “teaching pastor” really a pastor-pastor? Could they really be expected to act decisively when so many important people—JD Greear, Griffin Gulledge, Danny Akin—preferred to look the other way? The Baptist Faith & Message said one thing, but without an enforcement mechanism, what did it matter?”

(The Dissenter) Once upon a time, Southern Baptists knew what a pastor was. Not that it was ever complicated. The Bible, clear as a bell, lays it out—a pastor is a man, called by God, qualified by Scripture, and entrusted with the shepherding of the flock. And for a while, the SBC followed suit. Then came the termites. Continue reading

Massive sex chats discovered within intelligence agencies

Imagine the potential for blackmail.

Gabbard replied on social media, saying that “this behavior is unacceptable and those involved will be held accountable.” The official added that the intelligence community “must be focused” on the core mission of “ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.” 

(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) Some employees of the CIA, NSA, DIA, and other intelligence agencies were involved in massive official group chats that discussed transgender procedures and sexual fetishes. Continue reading

WaPo Editor Quits After Bezos Orders Opinion Page to Defend Free Markets, Personal Liberty

All of this leaves me with questions… How serious is Bezos? If we will finally have an establishment media outlet recognize that individual liberty and free markets are worth defending, that would be a sea change within an overall media institution that seeks to enslave us with a “benevolent” centralized government only interested in “fairness” and “equity” and the “greater good.”

(John Nolte – Breitbart) Washington Post opinion editor David Shipley resigned Tuesday after the paper’s owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, announced that, going forward, on the opinion pages, “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” Continue reading

Tapper & Thompson Blow the Lid Off That Story You Knew in 2020

“This should END the media. This should END Jake Tapper’s career,” Amy Curtis wrote — and she’s right. Tapper and the rest of the legacy media were complicit in the biggest coverup in history, that the most powerful man in the world was someone else’s puppet.

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) How many big-name reporters does it take to tell you three months from now what they finally admitted last summer and that you had figured out almost five years ago?

Two. Their names are Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. Continue reading

The Cancer of Effeminate Worship in the Modern Church

“When worship becomes entertainment, when the songs are designed for performance rather than participation, the congregation ceases to be a part of it. They watch. They sway. They close their eyes and let the show unfold. Worship has been stolen from the people—and ultimately, stolen from God—and handed to the professionals.”

(The Dissenter) The lights dim. A soft purple haze spreads across the stage, a carefully manufactured mist rising from hidden fog machines like some mystical veil between heaven and earth. The lead singer, a guy with the vocal timbre of a teenage boy penning poetry in his journal, breathes into the microphone, eyes closed, hand outstretched in longing. Continue reading

Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennan, and the European Ministers

“Sometimes Trump haters prove to be his best allies. Their venom shows us they either lack common sense or intelligence or both.”

(Victor Davis Hanson) Three recent but completely unrelated events illustrate the deranged hatred of President Donald Trump and his supporters continuing now even into a second decade. And yet the venom only further marginalizes the left.

In its too-long 50th anniversary spectacle, Saturday Night Live offered a skit in which marquee actor Tom Hanks did an impression of what the left thinks is a supposedly Neanderthal Trump supporter. Continue reading

Unearthed FOIA docs expose Biden regime’s diabolical TSA plot…

(Revolver) The Biden regime’s total and shameless disregard for our national security and safety has hit a shocking new low—and investigative journalist Breanna Morello has exposed just how deep their betrayal goes.

The short version is simple: Biden changed TSA guidelines to make it easier for illegals to fly. But it goes much deeper than that.

Instead of protecting American citizens, the Biden regime was busy fast-tracking unvetted, no-ID illegals through TSA checkpoints. Why would they do that, you must be wondering… Continue reading

Elon Musk Has ‘Cracked the Code’ on Government Secrecy

“So they were hiding from Congress. We didn’t know that USAID was funding drag shows in Peru or whatever…transgender operas in Colombia…it’s madness. But Elon has cracked the code. He is now inside the agencies. He’s created these algorithms that are constantly crawling through the data. And…the data doesn’t lie.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) As you know, the media is still trying to drive a wedge between Donald Trump and Elon Musk in an attempt to undermine not only Trump’s second term but also Musk’s efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is saving taxpayers billions of dollars targeting wasteful spending.  Continue reading

Discombobulating

(Bill O’Reilly) President Trump has two hobbies: golf and creating confusion. The formal name for the latter is “discombobulate.”

The first month of the second Trump term has featured the following in no particular order. Threatening to invade Panama. Musing about taking over Gaza and Greenland.  Suggesting that Canada will soon become the “51st state” and be run by Wayne Gretzky.  Renaming the Gulf of Mexico and banishing the Associated Press because it refuses to accept the new “Gulf of America” designation…. Continue reading

Ending Pharma Fads: President Trump Has an Opportunity to Make Our Children Healthy Again

(Red State) Over the past decade or so, special interest groups funded by Big Pharma have pushed to make what was recently unthinkable mainstream: policies making the removal of healthy body parts and resulting in the sterilization of our nation’s children. It was once unthinkable to take away parental rights over medical decision-making, but the Biden Administration has embraced these dangerous Pharma Fads.

Just take this Office of Population Affairs (OASH) handout as an example. OASH defines “Gender-Affirming Care” for “Young People” to include “medical” and “surgical” interventions for transgender and nonbinary young people…. Continue reading

Anthony Bradley Stokes Race War Against Megan Basham

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) After online resources that encouraged illegal aliens to deceive law enforcement were removed by the PCA’s Mission To North America, there was an apology. However, there was never accountability as the heads were still in charge of the organization. Mission To North America is still largely overseen by liberals, including at the top level by Irwyn Ince.

On Friday, February 21stInce was the special speaker at a “Black fellowship dinner” with the following description: Continue reading

How Should We Then Shift?: A Christian Response to Cultural Changes

“Important for the Christian response is that when God provides us with an opportunity, that we engage it, solidify what is worthy of preserving, and use these shifts to the glory of God and advance of His kingdom.” 

(Josh Howard – Clear Truth Media) The West is shifting, and fast. Our society, politics, and culture are in an ongoing state of flux that seems to have escalated. Some see progress to be celebrated, while others see collapse to be mourned (or combinations of the two). Yet either way, there is change afoot…. Continue reading

Trump Just Made a Move at the FBI—and Heads Are Going to EXPLODE

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) President Trump made a major announcement Sunday night that will surely strike fear in the hearts of the Deep State operatives.

“Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel.”

“Dan has a Masters Degree in Psychology from C.U.N.Y., and an MBA from Penn State,” Trump continued. “He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve.”  Continue reading

Dr. Scott Atlas: How MAHA Will Affect HHS, the CDC, the NIH, and More

“We need to also adjust ourselves. We don’t give up saying the truth, but we also need to sort of accept that there’s a group of people that will not admit they’re wrong, and then we have to figure how do we get our message out…” 

(Breitbart) Dr. Scott Atlas, widely censored for his positions on COVID, sat down with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to talk about his dissenting data-based views during the pandemic, what the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) got wrong, and whether the medial establishment can regain the public’s trust.

Streit recounted that a previous interview she conducted with Atlas — in which they discussed the COVID pandemic, vaccine mandates, masking, and lockdowns — was censored. Continue reading

Wheaton College Hosts Revoice Speaker Who Calls Marriage an Idol and Says ‘Gay Celibacy’ is Superior

This isn’t about holiness, obedience, or submission to Christ’s lordship. This is about dismantling the faith from within, mocking biblical marriage while insisting on its redefinition. The goal isn’t to honor God with chastity and sexual purity but to force the church into a hostage negotiation with the spirit of the age.”

(The Dissenter) Wheaton College, a school that was once known for its firm stance on biblical orthodoxy, now serves as an all-you-can-eat buffet for theological drift. The latest spectacle? David Bennett, a Revoice speaker, prancing onto the stage in an exaggerated, overtly feminine tone to lecture evangelicals on the alleged superiority of “gay celibacy” as though biblical chastity needed a “queer” rebranding to be legitimate. Continue reading
