Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley argued that the case against Trump is so weak it “would be easily dismissed outside of a jurisdiction like New York, where Bragg can count on highly motivated judges and jurors.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) It finally happened. On Thursday, Soros-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg got the indictment that so many on the political left have been pining for ever since Donald Trump ran for president in 2016. Since then, Trump has had a target on his back, with unhinged leftists desperately trying to find a crime to pin on him. Continue reading

O’Keefe’s First Video Uncovers Massive Money Laundering Scheme Into Political Campaigns

“You’re listed as someone who’s given over 31,000 individual contributions to various causes for a total of $230,000, using your name and this address,” O’Keefe said, questioning him. “No, that’s not us,” said Mr. Riggs.

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) In James O’Keefe ‘s first video with O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), he exposes what appears to be a Democrat (Act Blue) money laundering scheme of campaign funds. He went door-to-door as himself with one of his assistants. The scheme uses the names and addresses of elderly people. Continue reading

Poll: Support for Traditional American Values, Patriotism Declines

(Katherine Hamilton – Breitbart) The percentage of Americans who say patriotism, religious faith, family, and other traditional American values are “very important” is on the decline, a Wall Street Journal-NORC poll found.

Support for every traditional American value included in the poll has receded since 1998 besides “money,” which has grown in importance. The data also shows young people and Democrats tend not to highly rank traditional American values as much as older adults and Republicans. Continue reading

‘The Chosen’ Sets Former DreamWorks Exec Mark Sourian As President Of Production, Will Serve As Foundation For Bible-Based Entertainment Universe

“Right away, I could tell that there was a real emotional connection that Dallas [Jenkins] had to the material. And the more that I got to know Dallas and the more that he talked rather secularly, frankly, about the show, referencing shows like The Wire and West Wing, that really intrigued me in terms of making me feel like, ‘Wow. Really, truly, this is a guy who has a vision, and this is a show that is an elevated show, and a show that isn’t trying to proselytize, and is something different than what’s been out there before.” 

(Mark Sourian – Deadline) The largest fan-supported entertainment project of all time, Dallas Jenkins’ The Chosen is an episodic drama series about the life of Jesus Christ (Jonathan Roumie) and the calling of his initial disciples. The crowdfunded show available via Angel Studios’ website and app, as well as its own dedicated app, has been translated into more than 50 languages, garnering over 510M views across 175 countries….

Julie Roys Promotes Transgenderism, Apologizes For ‘Mislabeling’ Nashville Shooter

“There is no such thing as a transgender man, as transgender is not a category of man. Nor is transgender a category of woman. Interestingly enough, many in conservative media accurately improved their reporting by stating that Audrey Hale was “a woman who identified as transgender.” Yet this consistency ought to be maintained.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) No issue quite reveals the inadequacy of modern journalism quite like that of transgenderism. Despite the logical inconsistencies of the ideology. You can tell how reliable an outlet is based on this issue. And very few major outlets outside the mainstream media are good on this issue…. Continue reading

DOJ Asked to Investigate Murder of 6 Christians in Nashville as a Hate Crime – Garland Responds

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) believes the horrific murder of six people, including three children, in a Christian school, was a hate crime based partly on the targets chosen by the transperson who slaughtered them. According to the police, these Christian people were specifically targeted.

The DOJ has investigated so-called hate crimes with much less evidence and even contradictory evidence, such as in the case of Michael Brown. Continue reading

The Winner’s Chapel and The King’s College

MinistryWatch’s Warren Cole Smith’s comments on one or more stories in the week’s news.

Prosperity Gospel on Steroids.  I started hearing about David Oyedepo a few years ago, as I was doing research for a trip to Liberia to cover the Ebola crisis. He founded a church in Nigeria in 1981 that has come to be called The Winner’s Chapel.  It is now in about 150 countries and claims 6 million members. At least 30 U.S. cities now have Winner’s Chapel churches. Continue reading

NHL may cancel LGBT ‘Pride’ nights as growing number of players refuse to wear rainbow gear

“Other players have taken similar actions for their religious beliefs such as Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov and San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer. After refusing to wear the Pride jersey, Provorov jerseys immediately sold out online.”

(Post Millennial) In response to an increasing number of players engaging in silent protests against the NHL’s Pride Nights, a new report  claims the league is re-evaluating the events which may lead to them being canceled. Continue reading

Two years later, Jan. 6 video footage raises new questions about police and prosecutors

“Pickett’s description of a large library of compilation videos comes as federal prosecutors divulged in the case of one Jan. 6 defendant, William Pope, that there is police body-cam footage they don’t want to make public that shows D.C. Metropolitan Police officers — some in plain clothes — consorting with the protesters and even exhorting “Go! Go! Go!” as the protesters are trying to penetrate the Capitol.” 

(John Solomon – Just the News) Two years after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the issue of security footage is bedeviling law enforcement as federal prosecutors belatedly admit there is footage of some cops consorting with the riotous crowd and a retired Capitol Police executive divulges there are sizzle reels of all defendants inside the Capitol that were prepared for the FBI.

Revoice Founder Defends Transgender Shooter: ‘Devastating Form of Parental Rejection’

Now, Collins…is arguing that the parents of this transgender person who committed this atrocity are equally culpable because they caused her to suffer a “devastating form of parental rejection.”

(The Dissenter) Everyone knows that the shooting that took place in Nashville by a transgender assailant was a hate crime that targeted Christianity and the Christian worldview. Several mainstream news outlets have attempted to spin this incident (because why wouldn’t they?) blaming it on the shooter’s Christian parents who refused to affirm her lifestyle. Continue reading

This Is 2023 Folks! Professor Advocates Murder Over Shouting at Speakers

 

“The radicals shout down anyone who disagrees, and they will bully, harass, and cancel them if they can. They are the rainbow fascists.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) An English professor at Wayne State University, Steven Shaviro, says the Stanford hecklers who disrupted Judge Kyle Duncan didn’t go far enough. It is “far more admirable,” Steven Shaviro noted, to “kill” transphobes instead of shouting them down. Continue reading

Loving God with Knowledgeable Discernment

“It is possible to reject a movement as a whole while at the same time rejoice if, in fact, the gospel is truly given and genuine conversions take place. For instance, the recently released movie Jesus Revolution is about the Jesus Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. While I reject much about this movement as a whole, I am thankful for any true conversions that took place within it, and I’m sure there were many.”

(Taigen Joos – G3 Ministries) addition to the prayers of our Savior, the prayers of the apostle Paul offer excellent material for the Christian to study if he seeks to grow in his prayer life. Continue reading

Signs of Deception

People’s carnal passions are being fed from pulpits with what is a NARcissistic gospel.

(Rick Becker – Famine in the Land) How does someone know if they’re deceived, or if they’re in a church that’s been deceived and deceiving their members? We know that the only answer is for the Holy Spirit to remove the scales of deception from their eyes. Then, through studying the scriptures and by the illumination of God’s word, they’re able to identify false teachings and practices. In many cases, the solution for the deceived individual is salvation. They are false converts who have been seduced by a false gospel – they need to be born again to grasp spiritual truths (1 Corinthians 2:14). This is precisely why so many warnings concerning false teachers and their false teachings fall on deaf ears…. Continue reading

Trans Activists Called for ‘Day Of Vengeance’ Before Shooting of Christian School

“The group purports to seek revenge for what they term “trans genocide,” a conspiracy theory that claims that transgender people are systemically targeted with violence. However, an examination of FBI statistics by the Daily Wire shows no proof to corroborate this claim….”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) On Monday, 28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a biological woman who identified as transgender, murdered six people, including three children, at The Covenant School, a private Christian grade school in Tennessee. Continue reading

Website ‘ShowMeTheToes.com’ Launches After Woman Claims Amputated Toes Slowly Regrown During Bill Johnson Sermon

(Protestia) That’s a weird headline.

Anyway. A woman attending James River Church’s recent service is facing scrutiny and skepticism after releasing a video claiming that three of her toes that were previously amputated were miraculously regrown during a healing service. According to reports:

Chinese-American bank ‘willingly’ provided Biden family financial records

“This isn’t just a Chinese bank, this is an American bank that was founded by Chinese Americans. After everything that we’ve been through with China, at this moment, only 15% of Americans trust China…the American people are rightly concerned. They deserve to have answers….”

(Kristen Altus – Fox News) As more confirmations come forth regarding the Biden family’s business dealings in China, Americans are calling on the president to address the “significant and important” financial connection. Continue reading

Andy Stanley’s False Gospel: I’m a Christian Because it Made My Life Better

(The Dissenter) If you need more proof that Andy Stanley is a false convert leading people [astray], look no further than his most recent sermon.

Andy Stanley has been in our headlines quite a bit in recent weeks as we have exposed on a massive scale the pro-homosexual sentiment with his network of churches. Stanley, the pastor of North Point Ministries, preached a sermon a while back explaining how homosexuals have more faith than most Christians because, according to him, they love Jesus more than we do because they worship him despite all the “rejection” they get from Christians.

Government Doc Shows What Fauci Knew…’I’m Struggling for Words’

“In his second clip, Dr. Campbell explains what was not tested, what was known, and still, they went ahead with the vaccines.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) “I think we can be certain this information was on Anthony Fauci’s desk…Bear in mind all this was known before the vaccines were approved…I’m struggling for words,” Dr. John Campbell, who once pushed the vaccines.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Had to Know

Dr. John Campbell’s talk in the clip below concerns a 58-page government document that we link to below…. Continue reading

Living the Cessationist Life

“How frustrating it is then to hear the role of the Holy Spirit reduced to providing the charismatic gifts of prophecy, tongues, and miraculous healings in the minds of many. The Holy Spirit fills us without the extravagance of outward wonders. After all, His goal is not to get our attention and become our focus, but to direct us to Jesus Christ in whom we find our salvation and our souls’ rest.”

(John Divito – Founders Ministries) Will the debate over the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit ever cease? Maybe not, with many books coming out, debates being held, and conferences taking place on this controversial subject. One of the primary reasons for the intensity of this issue is that it directly relates to how we should live the Christian life…. Continue reading

Christ or Chords? The Manipulated Emotionalism of Hillsong, Asbury, and Pentecostalized Evangelical Worship

“The use of music to manufacture “feelings of spirituality” is exactly why Hillsong and the whole contemporary worship music movement are so popular—take away the music, and you eliminate the “feelings of spirituality.”…The use of music to manufacture “revival” is what drove the events at Asbury—take away the music, and you eliminate the “revival.” Since when is a bunch of college kids swaying to music for multiple consecutive days revival?”

(Scott Anoil – By the Waters of Babylon) When Christ was asked about the great commandment in the Law, he answered without hesitation: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Mt 22:37). True worship of God is centered in our affections for him. As Jonathan Edwards rightly observed, “True religion, in great part, consists in holy affections.” Indeed, a purely intellectualized worship is no worship at all. Continue reading

David Platt Says He Loves Jesus Even More Because of False Teacher, Francis Chan

“As Francis Chan continues down this path of ecumenism, however, it’s surprising to see those, like David Platt, who once upon a time stood as a living monument to biblical fidelity and against false teachings suddenly slip into a path embracing everything from social justice to charismaticism, to, well, now even Francis Chan’s nonsense.” 

(The Dissenter) The controversial preacher Francis Chan, known for his increasingly ecumenical views that blur the lines between biblical Christianity and other denominations such as Roman Catholicism, is once again promoting a superficial unity among diverse and often contradictory Christian denominations. Continue reading

(The Dissenter) Greg Laurie is an American author, evangelist, and senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, a megachurch located in Riverside, California. He was born on December 10, 1952, in Long Beach, California, and according to his own testimony, he became a Christian in 1970 at the age of 17 during the Jesus Revolution involving weird charismatics and, apparently, a practicing homosexual. Laurie has been married to his wife, Cathe, since 1974. Continue reading

Beth Moore Goes Full Robin DiAngelo, Calling White Men Racist

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) A recently surface video from the “Racism In The White Church” conference shows Beth Moore going full Robin DiAngelo trying to convince white people how racist they are.
