Ordinary, Everyday Evil

(Amy K. Hall – Stand To Reason) The latest Planned Parenthood video is so evil I’m having trouble handling it.

A former StemExpress tech tells of her supervisor playfully making an aborted baby’s heart start beating again. Of having to cut the baby’s face open in order to get the prized brain ordered by researchers. Was the heart still beating when they did that? Maybe. It’s unclear. Thankfully, there’s no video of either of these things. But you do see a live baby moving on a tray, and that’s enough.

Or, at least, it should be enough. Continue reading

The Founding Fathers’ Fears Are Coming True, and the Damage Is Intentional

“America is under attack from within, so please inform your “I can’t be bothered” friends and family that it’s long past time to start paying attention. This is not a drill.” 

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) The Founding Fathers, in all their prescience, wrote the Constitution to protect We the People from the very onslaughts we are seeing today, some two-and-a-half centuries later.

Donald Trump represents a clear and present danger to the pinko-Americans who have infiltrated every institution in the United States, and we can all see how the Constitution somehow doesn’t protect this one man. And if you are daft enough to think the chaos will stop once he is jailed or killed, I’d like to sell you my invisible unicorn Dottie who will paint your house for free. Continue reading

The Mark Driscoll Struggle Session

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Mark Driscoll went viral for getting yanked off the stage at a men’s conference at James River Church in Springfield, Missouri. However good it was for Mark Driscoll to call out the performance of a male stripper doing a sword-swallowing routine at a men’s conference, the struggle session that ensued afterward would undermine the masculine action that he took.

James River Church is arguably the flagship church of the Assemblies of God, the largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States. So naturally, John Lindell is a rather big deal in charismatic circles, and he knows it…. Continue reading

The World Is Paying A Deadly Price For Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Legacy

“To truly comprehend how demented our foreign policy has become, consider this: Iran reportedly informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, and the U.S. told Iran through Ankara that the attack should be “within certain limits.” This is a longtime ally of the United States we’re talking about — and a foe that’s murdered and kidnapped Americans for decades”.

(David Harsanyi – The Federalist) If a belligerent state launched 186 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would Joe Biden call it a “win”? Continue reading

Biden Slurs Through His Cheat Sheet in Photo-Op with Iraq’s PM

Watch the video.

(Mary Dowling) Joe Biden used a cheat sheet in his meeting with Prime Minister Mohammed Shyaa Al-Sudani of the Republic of Iraq and another with Prime Minister Petr Fiala of the Czech Republic. He was at his best with his usual cheat sheet that had Iraq  highlighted boldly so he wouldn’t call him the PM of Iran or something.

He slurred through the cheat sheet, and aides quickly escorted reporters out so they could not ask questions. Continue reading

That’s Impossible! Vegan ‘Meat’ Not So Good for You After All

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) There’s a “health halo” surrounding manufactured vegan “meat” products even though they provide no “clear benefit” — and might even be bad for your heart health, according to a new study reported on in the Daily Mail.

Dr. Sumanto Haldar lectures on nutrition science at Britain’s Bournemouth University and suggests that the industry re-evaluate “the development of the next generation of meat alternatives” because “[at] present, producing these plant-based meat alternatives often involves a substantial amount of processing.” Continue reading

Is Joyce Meyer A False Teacher?

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Joyce Meyer is a well-known American speaker, author, and television personality born on June 4, 1943. She has been a prominent figure in the Christian community for decades.

Meyer grew up in a difficult childhood, marked by physical abuse. She later converted to Christianity in 1976, which significantly changed her life. She began her career in the ministry as a volunteer at a local church and gradually worked her way up. Continue reading

Mark Driscoll Kicked Off Stage for Calling Out Male Stripper Dancing on a Pole at Men’s Conference

“During the conference, there was a performer dancing on a stripper pole and taking his shirt off. From the stage, [Driscoll] expressed his disdain directly during his speaking slot, which led to an interruption by Pastor John Lindell, the host of the conference…”

(The Dissenter) Let me start with a disclaimer that I do not support or endorse Mark Driscoll in any way. Driscoll was once a prominent figure in the infamous “young, restless, and Reformed” community, known for his edgy, aggressive sermons and punk-inspired worship services.

However, his penchant for inappropriate language and disturbing behavior ultimately led to his downfall…. Continue reading

Dismantling the ‘Transgender’ Narrative

“When influential organizations and individuals promote ‘sex assigned at birth,’ they are encouraging a culture in which citizens can be shamed for using words like ‘sex,’ ‘male’ and ‘female’ that are familiar to everyone in society, as well as necessary to discuss the implications of sex. This is not the usual kind of censoriousness, which discourages the public endorsement of certain opinions. It is more subtle, repressing the very vocabulary needed to discuss the opinions in the first place.”

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Science continues to prove common sense on the gender front. A new study has reaffirmed what has already been posited: that most children who struggle with gender confusion grow out of it by adulthood. Continue reading

Iran Is a Violent Toddler in Need of a Spanking

“They launched 350 missiles and drones, mostly from Iranian territory and with Iranian aircrews, at targets across all of Israel. What is the consequence when Iran launches a massive attack from Iran? Nothing.”

(Stephen Green – P Media) “I condemn Iran’s attacks in the strongest possible terms and reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel,” Presidentish Joe Biden lied, right around the time he, his administration, and that collection of low-forehead mouth-breathers known as “world opinion” bullied Israel into just letting themselves get attacked by Iran. Continue reading

The Biden Drone Attack On Israel

“As President, he had a duty to inform us as to our role, the extent, and the mission of why he launched our pilots into action. Yet Joe Biden failed to do so. Why?” 

(Kevin McCullough – Townhall) Last night as the attack on Israel was unfolding all of the news coverage broke in to announce that Biden and Netanyahu were scheduled to speak within minutes.

I for one would have really liked to have overheard that conversation.

Because the long and the short of it is this. Continue reading

Disturbing Racial Commentary From Black Pundits in the Wake of OJ Simpson’s Death Sparks Outrage

(Debra Heine – American Greatness) In the wake of OJ Simpson’s death, several black commentators have revealed the dark underside of race relations in America by suggesting that black Americans were glad that he got away with murdering two white people.

In 1995, a jury of nine blacks, one Hispanic, and two whites acquitted Simpson of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman despite “a mountain of evidence” that he was guilty. Many commentators at the time saw the acquittal of Simpson as an example of jury nullification, when a jury members defy a judge’s instructions on the law and acquit a defendant who has been proven guilty for their own biased reasons. Continue reading

FISA Reform Failed Because The Whole Point Of Section 702 Is To Spy On Americans

“The main purpose of the intelligence community’s surveillance programs isn’t to spy on terrorists or foreign adversaries overseas, it’s to spy on American citizens….” 

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) A group of 19 Republican lawmakers on Wednesday joined with Democrats to block a bill that would have reauthorized the federal government’s spying authority with a few minor tweaks. At issue is Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows warrantless surveillance of foreigners but is also routinely used to spy on American citizens. Continue reading

Pelosi’s Insurrection: National Guard Whistleblowers to Testify They Were Ready to Be Deployed on Jan.6 But Pentagon Delayed Orders – Will DESTROY J6 Committee’s BIG LIE!

John Solomon from Just The News released an explosive report in 2022 that revealed Capitol Police were first warned about possible violence at the January 6th protests TWO WEEKS before the planned rallies. Pelosi, Mayor Bowser, and other government officials turned down the National Guard anyway. They hoped for an “insurrection.”

(Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit) As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were both warned about the security situation prior to January 6th and both of them turned down National Guard troops at the US Capitol that day. Continue reading

So Much for Our Civilization

“How many children can be irreversibly neutered before you crash the population? Why would we want to even risk that? How deranged does our very language have to get, before we lose the ability to communicate? How many preposterous lies do we have to pretend to believe, before we have to find some way to live without truth?”

(Lee Duigon – News With Views) We have, for all practical purposes, history’s first global civilization. There’s nowhere you can go where it can’t reach out and bite you. Continue reading

Reconciling Christian Love and Hatred Toward Enemies of God

“So, here’s the question: As Christians, can we hate those who are systematically opposed to God’s righteous standards, perpetuating endless evil in the world?”

(The Dissenter) In an age where progressive thought and postmodernism dominate the cultural and intellectual landscape, Christians often find themselves challenged with the task of navigating their faith amidst conflicting ideologies. One such challenge arises in the form of a perceived paradox between the biblical injunctions to both love and hate the enemies of God. Continue reading

Prophecy for Sale: ‘Prophets’ Mimic Psychics, Charging up to $555 for Phone Call

“We deliver authentic and accurate insights for every situation from the mind of God directly to your ears.” 

(Barry Bowen – The Trinity Foundation) 2,700 years ago, the Prophet Micah warned that “prophets tell fortunes for money.” (Micah 3:11 NIV) The business of prophecy selling still continues in 2024.

Panganai Java, the flamboyant Zimbabwe-born but Maryland-based preacher, better known as Prophet Passion Java, finances his lavish lifestyle by preaching the prosperity gospel and charging his followers $555 for phone calls. Continue reading

Joseph Prince Performs Epic Scripture Twisting To Say That Praying in Tongues Heals Our Bodies of Diseases

“Here we are, having to address the claim that muttering and babbling in unknown gibberish is somehow the biblical equivalent of a health supplement.”

(The Dissenter) In the world of extreme charismaticism where the “Health and Wealth gospel” reigns supreme, and where spectacle trumps scripture, notorious false teacher and charismatic self-appointed NAR “apostle,” Joseph Prince, claims that speaking and praying in tongues heals our bodies from diseases and infirmities. In an epic Scripture twist, he points at 1 Corinthians 14:4 to claim that this spectacle is akin to a divine healthcare plan. Continue reading

After Promising Not To, The IRS Army Democrats Expanded Is Targeting The Middle Class

(Tristan Justice – The Federalist) The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is deploying most of its expanded army of federal tax collectors against the middle class, contradicting Democrats’ promises when they hiked its budget by $80 billion over the next 10 years in 2022.

“President Joe Biden will seek $80 billion to fund enhanced Internal Revenue Service enforcement of high-earners,” CNN claimed in 2021. NPR claimed in 2022 that the IRS would spend the money, among other things, on “hiring new enforcement agents” and “auditing the wealthiest Americans.”… Continue reading

John Hagee: Solar Eclipse Means Prepare For Rapture!

“Simply stated, he is taking a celestial event that occurs after a historical event and declaring it to be a sign from God of this event. This retroactive interpretation is deceptive revisionism at its worst. John Hagee and Mark Biltz [who is Hebrew Roots] are the two who have most popularized this false prophetic interpretation.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2023 brought out the crazies, with Troy Brewster being the most notable amongst them in declaring the eclipse to be passing over seven different Nineveh’s and a warning sign from God. Brewster would also call the eclipse the Sign of Jonah, which is an obvious false description. Because this eclipse passed over America, the homegrown craziness was abundant. And Troy Brewster is not the only one. Continue reading

Grace Community Church’s Phil Johnson Gives Promising Health Update After Suffering Pulmonary Embolism

(Protestia) The estimable Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, founder and former curator of The Spurgeon Archive, and one of our favorite people ever, has been afflicted with a health scare these past few days after waking up and suffering a pulmonary embolism early Friday morning.

A pulmonary embolism is incredibly serious and develops when a blood clot constricts and stops blood flow to an artery in the lung, resulting in chest pains, shortness of breath, and symptoms like a heart attack. According to the National Library of Medicine: Continue reading

Vatican Denounces ‘Gender Ideologies’ and Bans Gender Surgeries as ‘Grave Violations of Human Dignity’

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The Vatican has issued a major statement that strongly condemns transgender surgeries and says that “gender ideology” has no place in the Church.

“It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the document, titled “Infinite Dignity,” said. The Church called gender surgeries and surrogacy “grave violations of human dignity.” Continue reading

Joe Biden Has Secretly Flown 33,000 Migrants into New York City, 326,000 into Florida, at Taxpayer Expense

(Warner Todd Huston – Breitbart) A review of available federal records shows the Biden administration has secretly flown 33,000 illegal aliens into New York City and an astounding 326,000 into the state of Florida over the last several years.

The number of illegals that Biden has flown around the country dwarfs the number that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) sent via bus to deep blue cities, even though it is Abbott who suffers the barbs of the left-wing media for the practice and Biden’s human trafficking is wholly ignored by the press. Continue reading

Hamas Just Begged Israel to Finish It Off

“If they’re bold enough to chant “Death to America!” without repercussion in America’s Midwest, just as they have always done in the Mideast, then Israel must now think and act as though America’s support were always in question. Because thanks to Biden, it is.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Two weeks ago I had the sad duty to inform you that most, if not all, of the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7 were probably dead. Now, Hamas has confirmed it. Continue reading
