Leftism Is a Death Cult

“Look back at those videos from last week. Sure, they lashed out as usual against white male Christians. But they explode into hate-driven frenzy when ranting against women and minorities who didn’t vote for Harris. As blasphemers. As traitors. As Judases. To paraphrase the great Nigel Tufnel, these cultists went to 11.”

(C.A. Skeet – PJ Media) When the TikTok freakout videos first started being posted the morning after the election, showing assorted leftists in various stages of post-election mental breakdown, I was initially amused. Here, I thought, were the usual pampered, suburban brats throwing tantrums because the world doesn’t look like their living room. They did the same thing in 2016. They’ll get over it.

On Nov 5th, the Kingdom of Sauron (Satan) was defeated

(Linda Kimball – Renew America) During the “Fading Years,” many things of “beauty and wonder remained on earth…” but also many things of “evil and dread.” Then all things began to change. A living darkness—Sauron’s (Satan’s) kingdom of evil– crept slowly through Greenwood the Great, and fear walked there in shadowy glades. Then the name of the forest was changed to Mirkwood, for the “nightshade lay deep there,” and few dared pass through. Whence the evil came few could tell,

“…and it was long ere even the Wise could discover it. It was the shadow of Sauron and the sign of his return…and all folk feared the Sorcerer of Dol Guldur, and yet they knew not at first how great was their peril.” (The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien, p. 299) Continue reading

G3 Ministries Insists Steve Lawson Was Member Of Trinity Bible Church. But was he?

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last week, a major development occurred in the Steve Lawson adultery scandal in which Steve Lawson was revealed not to have been a pastor at Trinity Bible Church in Dallas. Though at a minimum Trinity Bible Church hid this in plain sight, the reporting that Lawson was also not even a member of the church gained just as much traction. Evangelical Dark Web pointed out that Steve Lawson operated in ecclesiocentric circles, ones that have a far higher-than-average view of church authority. This calls into question the vetting process of some of the ministries that platformed him, mainly G3 Ministries, The Master’s Seminary, and Grace Community Church. Continue reading

Here’s Hoping the Dems’ Cluelessness About the Election Lingers

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) As we are all aware, the Democrats struggle with things like reality and the truth. That’s got them in a bit of a pickle right now. They know that many things went horribly wrong for them in this election. They also know that they have to figure out exactly what. They just don’t have the skill set to do it, at least not quickly, anyway. It’s like they’re trying to find their way out of the middle of the Mojave Desert in a dust storm with a map of Philadelphia.

This is very good news for the Republicans. Continue reading

FEMA Director Compared Trump Yard Signs to Vicious Dogs to Justify Skipping Homes. Are Bibles Next?

“Our taxpayer-funded national emergency team passing by Trump-supporting homes is a prophetic glimpse of what the left would happily do to Christians if given the chance. The same progressive ideology that demonizes conservatives today would gladly persecute Christians tomorrow.”

(The Dissenter) As if we needed another reminder of how far the left is willing to go to punish their ideological opponents, the news out of Florida is yet another ugly revelation. FEMA, the federal agency supposedly tasked with providing life-saving disaster relief, has been exposed for skipping over storm-ravaged homes in the wake of Hurricane Milton simply because they displayed Trump signs in their yards.

ABC in ‘Panic Mode,’ Scrambles to Bring in Pro-Trump Personalities for ‘The View,’ Other Shows

“I predict that if ABC brings in a host who may not be MAGA but isn’t a flaming left-wing nutcase, half those women will quit rather than share the stage with someone who disagrees with them.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The TV networks are in scramble mode as they try to find voices and personalities that match the country’s pro-Trump mood. Discussions about bringing a pro-Trump voice onto ABC’s daytime moneymaker “The View” are underway, and changes to other programming are also being considered.

ABC execs were apparently so insulated in their own ideological cocoon that the extent of Trump’s victory caught them completely by surprise. Continue reading

America’s Largest False Church to Expand Empire Into Hillsong Territory, Sydney, Australia

“Australia, brace yourself. Bethel isn’t bringing the light of Christ to your shores—they’re bringing the smoke and mirrors of a counterfeit gospel. And if their track record is any indication, Sydney is in for a flood of glitter clouds, grave-sucking theology, and emotional manipulation masquerading as the work of the Holy Spirit.”

(The Dissenter) Bethel Church in Redding, California, pastored by Bill Johnson and co-pastored by Kris Vallotton—men who arrogantly believe themselves to be “prophets” and “Apostles”—has earned its reputation as a factory of spiritual fraudulence. This is the same Bethel that gave us “glory clouds,” the thoroughly debunked stunt involving stage smoke and glitter coming from the air ducts while selling it as the “presence of God.” Continue reading

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby resigning amid outrage over child abuse cover up scandal in CofE

An online petition was started last week calling for Welby to step down, with it garnering more than 13,000 signatories by the time that the Church of England leader had agreed to resign. “Given his role in allowing abuse to continue, we believe that his continuing as the Archbishop of Canterbury is no longer tenable. We must see change, for the sake of survivors, for the protection of the vulnerable, and for the good of the Church,” stated the petition.

(Michael Gryboski – Christian Post, a site CRN does not recommend) Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, leader of the Church of England and the global Anglican Communion, has announced that he will be resigning amid outrage over an abuse cover-up scandal. Continue reading

Court Vaporizes 50 Years of Environmental Law Leaving Trump’s EPA to Build on the Ashes

(Red State) The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit summarily vaporized 46 years of Federal environmental regulations. Writing in a case called Marin Audubon Society, et al v. FAA, et al, the majority of a three-judge panel ruled that the Council on Environmental Quality, a cabal inside the Executive Office of the President charged with ensuring that National Environmental Protection Act requirements are interpreted uniformly across the federal government, had illegally used the Federal Register to publish that guidance thereby giving citizens, agencies, and even the courts the impression that their internal guidance had the authority of law.

Trumps Plan To Declassify Diddy, Epstein Documents

(Cullen McQue – Trending Politics) Senior Trump security advisor Kash Patel stated that the president-elect plans to declassify thousands of documents relating to the federal government’s investigations into human trafficking and sexual blackmail rings run by music industry mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, both of whom were well connected with dozens of high-profile political leaders and celebrities.

In an interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, Patel stressed that restoring public trust in America’s legal and national security institutions will be a top priority of the second Trump Administration. Continue reading

Killing the Beast: The Department of Education

“George W. Bush made the DOE even bigger and gave it more power with No Child Left Behind. That failed, as has the DOE. The DOE is spending a lot of money, and our children are doing far worse.”

(Mary Dowling) President Donald Trump plans to shut down the monolithic Department of Education, which holds sway over every state. It has become very politicized and exerts extraordinary power. For example, under Biden-Harris, the DOE currently forces racist DEI down the throats of every school in the nation…. Continue reading

Melania Declines White House Meeting With Jill Biden for a Startling Reason

“This is harsh language, but the source certainly had a point. Donald Trump and Joe Biden aren’t just political opponents after the fashion of Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan or George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Biden is the first president ever to have treated his principal opponent and eventual elected successor as if he were a criminal. What polite veneer can or should remain between the Trumps and the Bidens after that?”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) It’s a traditional thing: during the transition from one presidential administration to another the outgoing first lady hosts the incoming one for tea and shows her around the White House…. Continue reading

Why did Dr Michael Brown take down his interviews with Todd White?

(Church Watch Central) A number of online Christian voices have been calling out the dishonest testimony of Todd White and his controversial teachings and practices. The loudest on this topic include Daniel Chapman (‘Daniel C’)Steve Kozar (‘Messed Up Church’)Daniel Long (‘Long for Truth’), Jake Elliot (‘The Framework’), and Richard Moore (‘Firm Foundation’). Along side Protestia, they have been calling out ‘evangelist’ Todd White.

Todd White, a ‘healing evangelist’ and ‘Little God’ (New Breed) within the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), has faced criticism for his “Little God” theology…. Continue reading

Patricia Heaton Rips ‘Fear-Mongering’ Media Election Coverage, Offers Prayer to Traumatized Head-Shaving Women

(Paul Bios – Breitbart) Actress Patricia Heaton hit at the “fear-mongering” media for traumatizing people after President-elect Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris last week.

Heaton delivered her takedown of the media over the weekend with a video posted on X.

“To all these extremists that are allowed television time, who told women that this is what is going to happen to them, shame on you! Shame on you!” she said. “Apparently, there are some really vulnerable people here who you targeted, and you fear-mongered to and you need to go back on the air and tell them things are going to be okay, tell them that they’re fine.” Continue reading

More fallout on Steve Lawson’s betrayal.

UPDATE below:

We’re posting two articles that report on the Steve Lawson situation. Both of them contain some of the same information; but also contain new info. After reading article #1, return to CRN to read #2 which contains Lawson’s words of regret on the damage (pain) he has caused his family and a host of others.

Article #1 Steve Lawson: Fake Pastor, Fake News, Real Mistress – Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web

Over the weekend, Evangelical Dark Web reported on how Trinity Bible Church hid in plain sight the fact that Steve Lawson was never a pastor at their church but rather a performer on Sunday mornings. Nevertheless, Steve Lawson was paraded across several ministries: One Passion Ministries, Ligonier, The Master’s University and Seminary, G3 Ministries, and Grace Community Church…. Continue reading

#Resistance Liberals Tattoo Themselves Blue to Oppose Fascism, Spot ‘Safe People’

(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) I don’t suppose we really needed more evidence that we have a hefty mental health pandemic on our hands in the West — that case has already been adjudicated for anyone paying attention — but, boy, has this election really ripped any remanence of a veneer of sanity off.

Via Glamour (emphasis added):

After the election of Donald Trump, many white women are feeling betrayed by the 53% of their peers who voted for him. Their answer? A blue bracelet. Continue reading

Civil War Is Breaking Out in the Democratic Party

“Blaming Biden for not dropping out sooner is absurd, especially when Pelosi and other leaders were part of the cover-up of Biden’s poor cognitive health. But now that Pelosi is blaming Biden, you can expect this civil war to really ramp up.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Democratic Party is in a state of self-destruction. That’s no exaggeration. Party leaders aren’t just reeling from Donald Trump’s stunning victory earlier this week—they’re turning on each other, casting blame in a way that signals a deepening internal divide….

Charismatic Prophets Say 2020 Prophecies About Trump Victory ‘Were Actually for 2024’

“[Johnny] Enlow was the most dramatic of the holdouts. In April 2021, he posted on Facebook his vision of Trump seated on a heavenly throne wearing a golden crown and holding a golden scepter.”

(Julia Duin) Smelling victory, some of the charismatic Christian prophets backing presidential nominee Donald Trump are already rejoicing on social media.

“I stand by every word that God gave me, see you on the other side of victory! Numbers 12:6,” wrote “Prophet” Charlie Shamp, president of Destiny Encounters International in Moravian Falls, North Carolina, on X Monday night. Continue reading

Steve Lawson Was Not a Pastor, Elder or Even a Member at Trinity Bible Church

“Steve Lawson’s adultery is worse actually.”

(Protestia) Six weeks have passed since Trinity Bible Church revealed that Steve Lawson was disqualified from “ministry activities” for having an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman who was not his wife, and a new report offers insight into why this whole situation has been so strange and murky.

According to pastors Derek Brown and Cliff McManis of Creekside Bible Church in Cupertino, California, on an episode of their podcast With All Wisdom, using information that has been “verified by the testimony of two or three witnesses,” Steve Lawson, though he previously served as a pastor of previous churches, was neither a pastor, nor an elder, nor even a member at Trinity Bible Church.

Trump’s first appointment, Catholic vote turns against Harris, voters reject noncitizen voting, and more.

(Below the Fold – Patriot Post Headlines) The editors cover all sorts of need-to-know topics. Their reporting is short and pithy. One topic they cover is how the FBI took Trump’s win. According to one source, FBI leaders “are reportedly “stunned,” “shellshocked,” and walking around in a daze after the American people resoundingly reelected Donald Trump. Now to TPP’s Below the Fold:

What every Christian needs to understand about a Trump victory

“We have to see the political shift as an opportunity to advance truth not a momentary reprieve from an inevitable cultural collapse.”

(Clear Truth Media – Ben Schettler) Can we praise God for Trump? Yes.

God gave us mercy in a form that’s difficult for the pious to understand. But He has used far worse men than Trump to save His people before.

So, as we celebrate a shift in political power, what should faithful Christians learn from this win and how should we prepare for the next four years? Continue reading

Geert Wilders Condemns ‘Pogrom in the Streets of Amsterdam’ After Israeli Soccer Fans Brutally Attacked

(Simon Kent – Breitbart) Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has condemned what appeared to be an organized, widespread targeted attack by anti-Israel rioters in Amsterdam on Thursday night, branding it a “pogrom” on the streets of the capital.

As Breitbart News reported, Dutch security forces appeared unable to protect the tourists as they were ambushed by roaming gangs of masked attackers who shouted “Free Palestine” as they hunted, beat and brutally harassed the Israelis. Continue reading

Trump Mulling Cabinet, Admin Staff Positions

“In 2017, we saw unprecedented obstruction by Democrats of President Trump’s nominees. This must not happen again.”

(Charlie McCarthy – Newsmax) President-elect Donald Trump and his team are wasting little time in focusing on how to staff a second administration.

Following his landslide victory Tuesday over Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump has been huddling with donors, family members, and advisers at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, the Washington Examiner reported. Continue reading
