(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Every day on the calendar has those “special days” — commemorations or observations of one thing or another. Most of them are silly, like International Sweatpants Day (Jan. 21) and National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day (Jan. 22), but some have actual significance.
Last week, one of those days probably passed most of us by. Every Jan. 16 has been National Religious Freedom Day since 1993, but that probably didn’t cross the minds of many Americans…. Continue reading
“Hamas has made it clear they want a one-state solution, and will not rest until every Jew and Israel are gone. Whenever a terrorist kills Israelis, their family gets paid for life by the Palestinian Authority.”
(Mary Dowling) Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Biden’s close advisor, are pushing the two-state solution. They want to pander to the Islamist voting base. As Hamas/Palestinians make it clear that they exist to destroy Israel and Jews, the administration, mostly staffed by Obama-era advisors, wants to give them the West Bank in addition to Gaza.

“
All our enemies are right now calculating how best to use their gift of the next 12 months from a non-compos-mentis president and his neo-socialist team that either believes the U.S. is at fault for much of the world’s pathologies or is too terrified to do anything about them.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Lame-duck presidencies, especially in the last six months of their final term, in general can offer opportunities for America’s enemies to take advantage of a perceived vacuum as one government transitions to the next.
But these normal changeover months are especially dangerous when a perceived weak or appeasing lame-duck president is likely to be replaced by a strong deterrent successor that will likely serve as a corrective to his disastrous policies. Continue reading
“Rather than upholding biblical truth and discerning the times, these leaders and pastors have become willful participants in a larger socialist agenda, championing a cause that undermines the integrity of both Scripture and national sovereignty. This silly Challenge put out by these religious socialist influencers stands as a disturbing epitome of propaganda, skillfully exploiting Christian compassion to propel a leftist, Marxist agenda in the Church.”
(The Dissenter) In a world where discerning truth has become optional for most of her inhabitants, it’s becoming increasingly important for truth-lovers to unmask the real agendas behind seemingly benign initiatives. The Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), a group often presented as a faith-based coalition offering biblical insight into immigration policies, is, in fact, a facade for the Soros-funded National Immigration Forum that seeks to promote a Marxist revolution. Continue reading
“Transgender ideology is a facet of political ideology disguised as a civil rights movement for a mental health struggle. In fact, President Joe Biden is treating transgenderism as a civil rights issue. That political ideology is a toxic mixture of radical freedom for all and cultural Marxism. That radical freedom is a way of justifying moral relativism — doing whatever you want because it seems right in your own eyes.”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The transgender battle in the culture wars is a multifaceted debate: Is the ideology correct? Is it medically safe? When can it be implemented for people suffering from this gender confusion? Should this affect sports? Should this be taught to kids? Is it Marxism? Is it a social contagion? What is the best way to treat those who are suffering from it? Continue reading
“Today, as we celebrate the life and legacy of MLK, I’m unsure how the civil rights movement genuinely used the church. You judge a tree by its fruit. Today, the black church is far more obedient to political doctrine than scriptural doctrine and far more interested in political defiance than spiritual repentance.” – Jason Whitlock
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Charlie Kirk has generally been a good barometer on Conservative Inc. This has been the case ever since his college events were subjected to trolls asking how [homosexuality] is conservative back in 2018-2019. Many of those clips resurfaced last year. Although renowned for being a Zionist, Charlie Kirk has seemingly deviated from this vein of neoconservatism in some capacity…. Continue reading
“The consequences of inaction are dire,” they say, citing: “crime, fires, the re-emergence of medieval diseases, environmental harm, and record levels of drug overdoses and deaths on public streets.”
(Betsy McCaughey) Tired of stepping over needles and human waste and navigating around half-conscious addicts and homeless encampments?
You’re not alone. Most decent, hardworking people want clean sidewalks for getting to work and walking their kids to school.
But cities are barred legally from cleaning up homeless encampments. Continue reading
“Phase two of the program uses seminars produced by the University of Rhode Island’s Media Education Lab that “train educators across the country on how to divert students away from conservative ideas and media sources skeptical of the administration’s agenda.” American taxpayers gave an initial $700,000 to fund the project used to destroy your freedom of conscience.”]
[Victoria Taft – PJ Media) When they’re not siccing the FBI on Catholic Churches or dragging upset fathers from school board meetings, there’s a new and equally monstrous plan to shut up conservatives terrorists before the 2024 election. It is sponsored by your friendly Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Careful guys, don’t trip on your jackboots. Continue reading
Posting this piece brings me no joy. Alistair Begg is one of my favorite preachers. As a reporter, my job is to accurately report news that some CRN subscribers may find disturbing, at times heartbreaking. With this in mind, here’s an excerpt followed by the article. There’s a video posted on the site:
“The Bible doesn’t say that we can participate in evil so long as the people we are participating in it with understand that we believe in Jesus. The Bible says the exact opposite—it says to Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness (Eph 5:11). What is a more unfruitful work of darkness than celebrating something that God [expressly forbids]. Was God there celebrating? No. What is God’s disposition toward such wickedness? That should be our disposition.”
(The Dissenter) In 2014, Russell Moore, then president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) advised Southern Baptists to attend a “gay wedding” reception as a gesture of affection towards a homosexual friend or relative. Moore was criticized for this stance, and rightly so, yet this stance was quickly adopted by the progressive stream of Southern Baptists and Evangelicals and has become the norm within movements such as Revoice. Continue reading
[When] the progressive movement cannot enact its unpopular agendas…it must scare the people silly and gin up chaos to destroy its perceived enemies—any crisis it can.
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The post-Joe McCarthy era and the candidacy of Barry Goldwater once prompted liberal political scientist Richard Hofstadter to chronicle a supposedly long-standing right-wing “paranoid style” of conspiracy-fed extremism.
But far more common, especially in the 21st century, has been a left-wing, hysterical style of inventing scandals and manipulating perceived tensions for political advantage. Continue reading
“Joe Biden loyalist, Tony Blinken, who is now the disastrous Secretary of State, and former Acting CIA Chief Mike Morrell used this false information by the FBI to write an open letter alleging that the Hunter Biden laptop had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. Fifty-one intelligence community members signed their names to the letter. They lied to give Joe Biden a talking point in a debate with Donald Trump.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Four years after the FBI and DOJ got a copy of the Hunter Biden laptop, filled with evidence of impeachable offenses and Biden family international self-dealing, the “Justice” Department only now admits that it’s real. The DOJ has had the laptop’s contents since December 2019, just over four years ago, when this evidence was delivered to the FBI. The revelation came in a “Justice” Department filing on Tuesday. Continue reading
(The Dissenter) The Roman Catholic pope recently made remarks that demonstrate that the Catholic Church is as committed to sound doctrine as a mirage is to offering water in the desert. As reported by “Libero Quotidiano,” his words represent a profound deviation from Christian orthodoxy—even that of the Roman Catholic Church. His personal belief in an ’empty hell’ nudges perilously close to the edges of universalism. This notion, while masked in the garb of compassion, raises serious theological red flags. Continue reading
…England’s NHS stopped “routinely” prescribing the drugs after a “damning review” found that the drugs could “interrupt the process of the brain maturing.”
(Madeline Leesman – Townhall) In the United States, over 20 states have passed laws banning experimental, irreversible so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors. Many of these states have also passed laws protecting women’s sports from so-called “transgender” athletes. The latest state to do this is Louisiana, and Ohio’s governor passed a similar Executive Order banning gender transition surgeries for children. Continue reading
“The WHO panel is made up mostly of social justice and human rights lawyers who believe the gender affirmative approach is the only option…”
(Alana Mastrangelo – Breitbart) The United Nations healthcare agency — the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) — has given transgender activists a majority of the seats in a panel that is drafting healthcare policies for children.
One of the supposed experts displays a “Be Gay, Do Crimes” tattoo.
Eleven members of the W.H.O.’s 21-member panel have no formal medical training, seven are transgender, and just ten have a medical background, according to a report by Daily Mail. Continue reading
“It’s not encouraging that some entities (including our federal government) aim to engage in geoengineering to manipulate weather and supposedly save the planet from warming.”
(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) One of climate alarmists’ favorite predictions is that the Arctic is losing its ice due to global warming, something elites have claimed for decades. New data shows, however, that Arctic ice is actually increasing! Continue reading
(The Dissenter) Perusing social media this morning, I ran across the following tweet by Gavin Ortlund. Squishy doctrine and false teaching seem to be universal (no pun intended) within the entire pedigree of Ortlund men. His father, Ray Ortlund, is a staunch supporter of Beth Moore and other women pastors and his brother, Dane, wrote a book essentially painting Jesus as an effete and passive servant who has within him no wrath. So it comes as no surprise that Gavin would peddle such views as the following: [See Ortland’s post on the page] Continue reading
“The debate over the measure will be ugly. Its opponents will undoubtedly resort to suicide threats early and often, declaring that this law will push kids to kill themselves. It won’t, but telling kids to take themselves hostage is the transgender movement’s main weapon.”
(The Federalist – Nathanael Blake) The Democrats who run California love “transitioning” kids, including chemically and surgically sterilizing them. But a courageous group of residents is betting California voters are less radical than their politicians and that the tide can turn against gender ideology even on the West Coast. Continue reading
(Protestia) The embattled International House of Prayer in Kansas City has given a brief update on where they stand after expelling leader and founder Mike Bickle from their midsts following sexual misconduct allegations. Kurt Fuller, a retired major general who took over Executive Director responsibilities of the church following a round of resignations, told the church yesterday:
“I’ve heard enough and seen enough to know that there are some issues here that need to be addressed and some of them urgently….(my job is to) “get to the bottom of all these allegations, not just those about Mike Bickle, but also those that are now directed to the organization as a whole.” Continue reading
(Protetia) Three years after Joel Osteen introduced the “Joel Osteen Inspiration Cube,” an electronic device that played daily affirmation, inspirations, and brief sermon clips from the Prince of Pablum and Positivity for the tidy sum of $39.99, Joyce Meyer has gotten in on the action, introducing the Joyce Meyer Daily Encouragement Audio Cube, or JoyceCube.
80-year-old Joyce Meyers is long thought to be one of the ‘Big three’ heretics, along with Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn…. Continue reading
(Grant Huan – The Sentinel) An artificial intelligence psychologist has become one of the most sought-after artificial intelligence personas on Character.ai, a popular chatbot hosting site.
The bot, named “Psychologist,” has received over 79 million interactions since its creation, more than the Beyoncé, Napoleon Bonaparte, Harry Potter, and Queen Elizabeth II chatbots combined. Some 18 million of those interactions have occurred in only the last two months. Continue reading
“Everyone knows about the 600,000 Americans who died in the Civil War, almost none of whom owned a single slave. Far fewer realize that it took British taxpayers from 1833 to 2015 to pay off the gargantuan debt—one of the largest loans in history—accrued from freeing the countless empire’s slaves.”
(Hayden Ludwig – American Greatness) If the Left’s 2024 strategy is to divide and conquer, you’re on the hit list.
Elected Democrats and their activist handlers are surging forward with plans to implement multi-billion-dollar slavery reparations bills first in blue states, then nationwide. The latest push came on Jan. 8, when socialist Rep. Cori Bush (D–MO) introduced her $14 trillion “Reparations NOW” bill, which has made its way from the fringe of the far Left to the Democratic Party plank in just a few years. Continue reading
(Revolver) When you tune into the news, chat with neighbors, or even overhear conversations in a diner, it’s impossible to ignore the constant buzz about the laundry list of disasters unfolding across the US. It feels like every time you turn around, there’s another train derailment, a plane incident, or a military crisis. It’s one calamity after another. One individual who’s keenly aware of what’s going on is Elon Musk. He’s taken such a strong interest in these so-called random “calamities” that he recently shared a thought-provoking article on the topic that’s sure to stir up quite a bit of controversy. Continue reading
“Hunter Biden’s willful refusal to comply with the committees’ subpoenas is a criminal act” that “constitutes contempt of Congress and warrants referral to the appropriate United States Attorney’s Office for prosecution as prescribed by law.”
(Solange Reyner – Newsmax) Hunter Biden has agreed to sit for a deposition before the U.S. House committees investigating his foreign business deals.
“You have not explained why you are not interested in transparency and having the American people witness the full and complete testimony of Mr. Biden at a public hearing…. Continue reading
“We have illegals in our airports, our schools, our parks, on the streets, and African migrants collect cans to stay alive. Ther is nothing humane about that….”
(Mary Dowling) James O’Keefe interviewed a border agent, and the information is horrifying. There is no better word to describe it. What brought the agent to tears is the trafficking of children.
He said the most troubling thing for him, and it’s more than troubling – it’s evil – is the trafficking of women and children. The agent further added that every agent knows what’s going on…. Continue reading
“To argue that ‘arsenokoitai’ does not refer to homosexuality is to engage in linguistic gymnastics, twisting the text to fit a modern agenda. The early church fathers, well-versed in Greek, understood this term to condemn homosexual acts.”
(The Dissenter) The film “1946” has ruffled more than a few feathers with its bold assertion that the term ‘homosexuality’ was erroneously introduced into the Bible only in the mid-20th century. This claim, while sensational, crumbles under the weight of historical, biblical, and exegetical scrutiny. Let’s dissect and dismantle this absurd argument piece by piece. Continue reading
