(The Dissenter) In a bizarre modern trend, Evangelicals have taken a peculiar fascination with pop idols, Taylor Swift being the most recent glaring example. Whether it be Christianity Today’s assertion that Taylor Swift “brings Christians together,” churches finding pop stars like these more attractive than Jesus, or even the Museum of the Bible promoting her at their events, this bewildering obsession marks an extreme departure from the Church’s mission and calling.
Elevating such pop idols to a platform that rivals, in many cases, even Jesus Himself not only dilutes but perverts essence of Christianity but ventures into the extremely bizarre, attempting to marry the sacred with the profane in a union that seems more suited for tabloid sensationalism than theological reflection….

“Revolutionary evolutionary politics require us to believe that everything came into being by chance — accidentally, without meaning, purpose, or design — from nonliving matter bouncing around in a void. Hence, since man is an accidental emergence from ‘nothing,’ then he is in the image of ‘nothing.’ ‘Nothing’ has no free will, nor should man. ‘Nothing’ owns nothing, nor should man. And since ‘nothing’ is neither male nor female, then neither should man be, rather man ought to be ‘transgender,’ another word for polymorphously perverse non-binary androgyne.”
(Mary Dowling) Former President Donald Trump is in a Florida courtroom today in the Jack Smith classified documents case. Judge Cannon cited 
“This move comes despite his Jewish roots and his past public support of Israel in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas. In November, Schumer admitted that the rise in antisemitism in America after October 7 was coming from the political left.”

“Doctors and politicians have already called on America to follow England’s lead on banning puberty blockers…Sen. Roger Marshall, a physician, said, “[L]et my message to America and the radical gender ideologues be clear: Wake up.”
“Democrats are accusing Republicans of trying to “score cheap political” points by demanding that migrants be vetted before being allowed in the U.S.”
“In our sin-fallen, law-cursed state, all people are in slavery to sin and in bondage to Satan, the prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2). Of course, all who sin are subject to death, since “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23), or as Paul elsewhere writes, “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law” (1 Cor. 15:56). Blessedly, God does not leave us in our cursed state but has sent His Son to redeem us…”

(Sean Moran – Breitbart) The House on Wednesday passed legislation that would ban TikTok if they do not sell the company from its Chinese parent company.
“In short, one purpose of confessions is to provide a “form of sound words,” to borrow Paul’s phrase, that sets forth, in brief, important biblical truth.”
“In the same exchange, Joe Biden not only brought up his son Beau — contradicting what he claimed last month, he not only couldn’t remember the year Beau died, but didn’t even know the year that Donald Trump was elected president.”
“As Breitbart News noted earlier Monday, reports have already emerged that the Biden administration is seeking Israeli consultants to help topple Netanyahu’s coalition.”
“To put it simply, French tells Christians not to believe their own eyes and ears, and especially not to harken to the angry and vitriolic State of the Union speech a few days ago where Biden recommitted his…abortion policies to restore abortion up to birth across the land.”
“The question that I continue to see popping up around the Shepherd’s Conference and other conferences is “why is John Piper even there?” It is a good question, indeed. It’s like Tim Keller—he is elevated to the status of “great thinker” and “superb theologian” when, in reality, so much of what they say is reduced to mere sophistry and casuistry.”

(Protestia) Justin Giboney is the founder of the AND Campaign, a wishy-washy organization that seeks to strike a middle ground between the democrats and republicans by always leaning toward the former, as well as a prominent 
Schaller and Waldman waste no time in the book identifying “rural” and “urban” as the defining major divide in this country, and painting a picture of paranoid, bitter, enraged, Trump-deluded, working class country music fans as existential Enemies of the State.
“Democrats don’t care about your safety!” the House Judiciary GOP posted on X shortly after the vote. “Will @chuckschumer allow a vote on the Laken Riley Act in the Senate? Would @JoeBiden veto it?”
“Empathizing with Bickle’s victims and those affected by his wicked wandering, they lament that “this is a spiritual tragedy of international proportions, affecting millions of believers worldwide and bringing great dishonor to the name of Jesus as well as a disgrace to the reputation of the Spirit,” rendering their final judgment.”
“Then, in a huge gaffe, Biden mispronounced Laken Riley’s name, calling her “Lincoln Riley” and acknowledging an illegal immigrant killed her. He added, “How many thousands of people are being killed by illegals?” Great question, Joe. Then he went on a weird rant about human smuggling and asserted that fewer people would pay coyotes if waited for six weeks for a hearing rather than six months.” 
“On abortion, [Democrats] take the extreme position that it should be allowed up until the moment of birth, then denounce Republican-led states that impose restrictions that are the norm across the Western world. On transgenderism, they insist children can consent to genital mutilation and sterilization, then condemn modest efforts to ban or limit these practices as child abuse. On immigration, they throw open the southern border and let 10 million illegal immigrants flood into the country, then attack anyone who suggests we have a crisis at the border and need to secure it.”

“It is too seldom noted that every single man arguing for the removal of single-sex spaces is arguing for his own right to enter those spaces. I know from experience that they feign outrage when this point is put to them, gibbering that they’re just being good, virtuous progressives who’re standing up for trans women, that they personally won’t be availing themselves of the new opportunities afforded them.”
