Matthew Perry Had More Than Just Ketamine in His System

“It’s time to tell the Industrial-Medical Complex and their friends in the corrupt media who take the majority of their advertising from Big Pharma to leave us alone. We’re more than capable of trying therapies and taking risks after informed consent if we want to. No one, especially the government, should be allowed to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own bodies. Just ask those abortion nuts! Our bodies, our choice, right? Or are we going to only demand the right to murder our offspring but give up the right to try alternative therapies that might heal us?” 

(Megan Fox – PJ Media) We’ve heard a lot about ketamine lately. If you were watching the Maya Kowalski trial, you learned that ketamine has many uses for people in pain. Still, despite promising outcomes for many patients using it for pain relief, depression, addiction, and more, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital tried to demonize it during the nine-week civil trial to cover up their involvement in the medical kidnapping of a child and the suicide of her mother….

Domestic Violence Survivors Speak Out Against Gun Control

“Killers target so-called “gun free zones” to commit violence because they know they will be met with the least amount of resistance.” 

(Madeline Leesman – Townhall) Late last week, several women, including survivors of domestic violence, spoke in a congressional hearing about how gun control laws rob women of their right to self-defense. The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance hosted the hearing titled, “Second Amendment Rights Empower Women’s Rights.”

“Female firearm ownership continues to grow in the United States,” committee Chairman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) said. “Women are turning to themselves to be their own first responders.” Continue reading

Texas Governor Signs Bill Making Illegal Migrant Entry from Mexico a State Crime

(Randy Clark – Breitbart) Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill making Texas the first state in the union to give law enforcement officers the authority to arrest migrants who illegally enter the state. The measure, SB 4, was signed into law on Monday during a ceremony at the base of the border wall in Brownsville, Texas.

The bill is part of a package of measures designed to decrease the flow of migrants entering the state from Mexico. The Texas Legislature passed the bills during two special sessions this fall. Continue reading

CRT, Genocide, and the Importance of Christian Universities

“CRT poisons all that it touches. Because at its core CRT is ahistorical, it gets history almost exactly wrong. This is clearly seen in how they categorize Jews as oppressors, and thus not subject to the protection of campus mobs calling for their annihilation.”

(Jesse Johnson – The Cripplegate) Since the October 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, students at many American Universities have taken to protests celebrating the intifada, and calling for Palestine to overthrow Israel “from the river to the sea.” In some cases Jewish students have been hounded and locked inside buildings. Jewish owned business near several universities have been targeted with harassment and stormed by mobs…. Continue reading

Believe

Today, America has a growing problem because too many of us “believe” what we want to believe. Persuading folks about anything is becoming very difficult. Facts are becoming secondary to “feelings.”

(Bill O’Reilly) In the early part of this century, I took on the secular-progressive movement that was attempting to intimidate businesses into canceling the word “Christmas.”

Some stores actually ordered employees not to say the word to customers. Continue reading

The Rot on American Campuses Stinks More Every Day

“Obviously, this problem will take a lot of effort to push back even a little on. At least it’s getting a lot of attention, and thanks to the fact that radical lefties like to act out, the story isn’t going away. We’ve already got an exhausting year ahead of us, but the outrage over the rabidly un-American sentiments in Academia has to stay strong.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Wow, that was quite the cold bucket of water in the face as I was emerging from my regularly scheduled weekly news hiatus. I had mostly remained unaware of the Senate sex kerfuffle. The ick factor was strong with that story and, as Kevin reminds us, was brought to us by the party that wants to “bring back decency.”… Continue reading

Marley and His Message to Scrooge

“Christ is still in Christmas, and for one brief season the secular world broadcasts the message of Christ over every radio station and television channel in the land. Never does the church get as much free air time as during the Christmas season.”

(R.C. Sproul – Ligonier Ministries) “Bah! Humbug!” These two words are instantly associated with Charles Dickens’ immortal fictional anti-hero, Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge was the prototype of the Grinch who stole Christmas, the paradigm of all men cynical.

We all recognize that Ebenezer Scrooge was a mean person-stingy, insensitive, selfish, and unkind. What we often miss in our understanding of his character is that he was preeminently profane. “Bah! Humbug!” was his Victorian use of profanity. Continue reading

‘Horrendous’ Tap Performance of Nutcracker Suite in White House Video Roasted Online, Compared to ‘Hunger Games’

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) A White House Christmas video showcasing a bizarro tap dance performance of the Nutcracker Suite is being roasted online and compared to the Hunger Games. The video features a woke, “antiracist” New York City tap company tapping their way down a White House hallway adorned in Nutcracker-themed décor. Jill Biden posted the performance on X, Wednesday.

“A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite,” Biden wrote.

Watch the video on the site. Continue reading

Here’s the Real Reason Why So Many American University Students Hate Israel

“The students who are most passionate about hating Israel know the least about the conflict because they are suffering from a social contagion, not acting upon a reasoned conclusion. Those who actually study the issue, if they do so thoroughly and honestly, will come out supporting Israel. Our nation’s colleges and universities are doing their level best to prevent that outcome.

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) It’s simple, really. Why do so many college and university students hate Israel? Because they know nothing about it, and have bought into the propaganda they’ve been fed. Continue reading

David Platt and McLean Bible Church Lose Million Dollar Lawsuit

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Since 2021, lawsuits have been plaguing McLean Bible Church. Salvador Cordova is a plaintiff in one of the lawsuits and he joined Evangelical Dark Web to talk about their recent victory in court against David Platt’s McLean Bible Church.

There are two lawsuits against MBC. The first one involved an election of a slate of elders that dissenting members are trying to overturn. This lawsuit was initially dismissed but it won an appeal. Cordova is not on this lawsuit which he describes as very technical. Instead, he is a plaintiff in a lawsuit suing MBC for being a Southern Baptist Church in violation of the church’s constitution….

Christian tears down and beheads Satan shrine in Iowa Capitol

Michael Cassidy, a Christian and former military officer, pushed over and decapitated the statue before he discarded the head in a trash can.

(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) Michael Cassidy, a Christian and former military officer, tore down and beheaded a Satanist altar erected in the Iowa Capitol as the display provoked nationwide controversy, The Sentinel has exclusively learned.

Members of the Satanic Temple of Iowa recently received permission to install the exhibit, which included a statue depicting the idol Baphomet holding a pentacle and surrounded by candles, on the first floor of the Iowa Capitol near displays of the Nativity…. Continue reading

Civilization Versus the New Nihilists

Nihilism: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless.

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Nihilism is the religion of the Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party.

If the Left wished radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through legislation or the courts.

Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal immigration law. Continue reading

Drag Queen Stands in Pulpit at Washington National Cathedral to ‘Pray’ to ‘Know Our Bodies’

(The Dissenter) Weird stuff. It just keeps getting weirder. Yesterday, we reported that drag queens were holding a “drag nativity” event depicting both Mary and the infant Jesus in drag. We also reported how a church was decking its halls in kinky drag decor and decorating its tree with drag queen memorabilia. And earlier, we reported that a homosexual couple, one of whom is particularly profane and gross in speaking about his sexual experiences with animals, had purchased two twin baby boys through the surrogacy programs and also how the Supreme Court recently sided with a Washington law that bans Christian intervention in LGBTQ youth counseling. This is all from just this week. Continue reading

Breaking: IHOP Founder Mike Bickle Admits to ‘Inappropriate Behavior’ + Deflects, Deflects, Deflects

“He borrowed a play from Johnny Hunt, saying that his sexual sins and adultery were private and none of the business of his church and ministry, and that because he dealt with them privately, there was no reason to confess them publicly until he was exposed, which perhaps explains why even now they are so vague and hazy.”

(Protestia) Mike Bickle, the false-prophet leader of the International House of Prayer (IHOPKC), has released a personal statement  regarding allegations against him, writing, “I sadly admit that 20+ years ago, I sinned by engaging in inappropriate behavior—my moral failures were real.” Continue reading

More than 1-in-5 Mail-In Voters Admit to Cheating in 2020 Election

“Americans have repeatedly been told that the 2020 election was the most secure in history. But if this poll’s findings are reflective of reality, the exact opposite is true.”

(John Binder – Breitbart) In the 2020 election, more than 1-in-5 voters who submitted ballots by mail say they did so fraudulently, a survey from Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute reveals.

The survey asked those who voted by mail in the 2020 election if they filled out a ballot “in part or in full, on behalf of a friend or family member, such as a spouse or child?” to which 21 percent said they had done so. Continue reading

The Obamas just produced a viral Netflix show demonizing white people…

“Yet, during what some call Obama’s “third term,” the situation has only worsened. The nation is on the brink of collapse due to rising crime rates, political polarization, a horrific racial divide that has led to attacks and demonization of white Americans, a struggling economy, and the constant threat of international war. All in all, Obama’s “third term” is proving to be the most dangerous yet, and he’s about to conclude it with another contentious move…”

(Revolver) As you probably know, Barack and Michelle Obama are venturing into the movie industry. However, they’re not aiming to become the next Spielberg, entertaining us with blockbuster movies. Their objectives are political in nature. They intend to leverage their influence and prestige to promote the progressive agenda and anti-white narratives. And right now, their new movie is accomplishing exactly that. However, this shouldn’t be shocking to anyone, considering that Barry Soetoro was the most divisive and contentious president this country has ever seen. Continue reading

Supreme Court Sides With Washington Law Banning Christian Counseling for LGBTQ Issues for Minors

“On the surface, it may appear as a progressive stride towards inclusivity. However, the devil, as always, is in the details. Not only does this undermine the rights of individual minors seeking counseling, it also undermines the rights of parents to seek the best treatment for their children’s sin—the gospel.”

(The Dissenter) The momentous legal battle of Brian Tingley v. Robert W. Ferguson, Attorney General of Washington, et al., rises from the pages of court dockets, emerging as a case of monumental import. Far from being a mere footnote in legal journals, this case represents a critical battleground, a defining moment that will shape the future of religious liberty and free speech in America….

Corruption, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

Up until this point, the powerful corporate news agencies, especially The Washington Post of Watergate fame, The New York Times, and NBC News, basically covered for the Biden family, even attacking those seeking the truth. In fact, only a very few media outlets, like The New York Post, pursued the story.

(Bill O’Reilly) The word “corruption” is to easily thrown around. It is a dangerous thing, especially when embraced by the powerful, so caution should be used when alleging it. Continue reading

Pro-Palestinian Radicals Target Symbols of Christianity

(Joel B. Pollak – Breitbart) Radical pro-Palestinian demonstrations appear to have developed a new tactic: they are targeting Christmas tree lightings across the country, and other Christian symbols, in addition to symbols of Israel and Jewish institutions.

The latest example was Friday’s protest in Los Angeles, where pro-Palestinian radicals marched from a fundraiser for President Joe Biden to an area where there are several synagogues. They sprayed anti-Israel graffiti on the walls opposite the synagogues, and also vandalized a local church. Continue reading
