‘What’s Happening to Children Is Morally and Medically Appalling’

“Given the secrecy and lack of rigorous standards that characterize youth gender transition across the country, I believe that to ensure the safety of American children, we need a moratorium on the hormonal and surgical treatment of young people with gender dysphoria.”

(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) We’ve written at length about the transgender issue generally, and about the danger to children specifically. Our position is well researched and well established. Even so, when someone from the other side boldly agrees, we take note. Continue reading

Infamous Faux Faith-Healer, Todd Bentley Discredits the Asbury Revival

“Bentley once claimed he healed seven deaf people in one night and also claims to raise people from the dead. On one occasion, after claiming to raise someone from the dead in a hospital, Chris Rosebrough called the hospital only to say that there was no record of what Bentley claimed.” 

(The Dissenter) Yesterday, we published an article expressing our concerns over the hyper-emotionalism on display at the so-called Asbury Revival taking place at Asbury University, a multi-denominational ecumenical school that is loosely associated with the Wesleyan-Methodist tradition….

Damar Hamlin Wears Jacket With Blasphemous Jesus Depiction

“This is shameful, shameful behavior towards the one who saved his life. Whether it’s intentional or not, This is fit to be burned.” – Protestia

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Damar Hamlin became a household name in America after he had a non-football related accident on the field during a nationally televised Monday Night Football game. This led to weeks of sports media theatrics and shallow prayers for virtue signaling which were soon replaced by the league with “love” for Damar. Damar Hamlin was early on portrayed as a Christian athlete…. Continue reading

Pilots’ Accounts of UFO Raise Serious Questions – CNN Coverage Sounds Downright Spooky

(Jack Davis – Western Journal) Pilots sent aloft to learn about the object shot down off Alaska’s northern coast on Friday could not agree on what they were seeing, according to a new report.

The object was first detected on Thursday, with F-35 fighter aircraft sent to learn more about it, according to CNN.

What they came back with were differing stories, CNN reported, citing a “source briefed on the intelligence.” Continue reading

Why 65 Percent of Fourth Graders Can’t Really Read

“What exactly are these teachers doing to children? These “other strategies” are educating generations of children who learn to hate reading and struggle to read at their own grade level.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) On Saturday, I wrote about the 230,000 children who failed to show up for class when public schools reopened after the pandemic. It’s a tragedy without parallel in American history as many of the no-shows are very young — K through 3rd grade. Critical skills learned in early education were not taught to these kids, who are now hopelessly behind. Continue reading

How Charlatans are Using Super Bowl to Advance False Prophecies About ‘Revival’

It is clear that Shawn Bolz, Bob Jones, Todd Bentley, and all of those associated with this hyper-charismatic New Apostolic Reformation modern-day prophetic movement are all false prophets and false teachers. Jesus says in Matthew 24:24 that “For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” 

(The Dissenter) If you’ve been paying attention to Christendom, you’re likely aware of the so-called “Asbury Revival” taking place at Asbury University right now. And while we are skeptical of what is taking place there, there are most certainly charlatans who are going to use this to further their own deception and lead other people astray. Continue reading

Sex Educator for Kids 3-18, Teaches Them to Choose Different Genders

Is your kid porn literate?

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Sex education and flexible genders for 3-year olds? Al Vernacchio is a high school sex educator as if we need one in the first place. He says we are sexual beings from birth and have so many more options now. He’s telling children they can try out different genders, and he has a sex ed program for children as young as 3 years old.

This is what we call an educator these days. Continue reading

The Mess of an Address

“Joe Biden misinforms, ignores, and attacks—and then calls for “unity,” as the country collectively slides into ruin.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) After listening to the State of the Union address, Americans know why the latest Reuters poll has Joe Biden at 41 percent approval.

Vice President Kamala Harris polls even lower—despite the obsequious efforts of the most biased media in history that has, in effect, merged with the Democratic Party. The nation was reminded again why only 37 percent of Biden’s own party want him to run again. Continue reading

Andy Stanley’s Church Celebrates Coming Out of Transgender Intern Who Worked at Student Camps

“We’ve discovered at least one “transgender” person who came out on their Instagram page giving himself self-praise for taking thousands of pills, having surgeries, and more to deceive himself and others into believing that he is a female. Here are the posts…”

(The Dissenter) In case you’ve missed it, there’s a big kerfuffle going on over at Andy Stanley’s Northpoint Ministries and its various massive campuses. Apparently, Andy Stanley is a lot more pro-LGBTQ than folks thought. For the last several weeks, he’s been all over the headlines after a sermon of his resurfaced where he basically said that homosexual people who love Jesus have more faith than most Christians. I know, it sounds crazy, but it’s true. Continue reading

Biden’s State Department Funds a Secret Site Blacklisting Conservatives

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) According to the Washington Examiner, another means of targeting conservative sites has popped up. A Microsoft company called GDI blacklists conservatives for “safety” and sends the lists to ad companies so they can cancel them. Biden’s State Department sends tax dollars to the company to help them silence the right. Biden is such a unifier. Your tax dollars at work.

We pay for our own demise. Continue reading

‘Two FBIs’: Whistleblowers accuse DC HQ of trampling Constitution, field offices

“Twitter Files show agency’s mission is now “a perversion of the First Amendment,” 33-year veteran says.”

(Greg Piper – Just the News) House Republicans think federal agencies have become a weapon against their own apolitical employees and the constitutional rights of Americans. House Democrats think House Republicans have become a weapon against the prerogatives of federal agencies.

The parties traded laundry lists of grievances stemming from agency and congressional investigations, from the Benghazi attack to the Russia collusion hoax, at the first hearing Thursday of the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. Continue reading

Disney Actually Just Laid Off 2.4 Million People — Including Me

It’s one thing to include gay characters, whatever. It’s quite another to ret-con a decidedly straight character like Luke just to send a message to old fans. And that message is: “Everything you love, we can destroy.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Disney shares are up Thursday on news that the company is cutting costs and letting go of 7,000 employees. But the real news is that the formerly family-friend studio lost 2.4 million streaming subscribers — and has no plan to end the woke programming that drove them away.

Including me. Continue reading

CCP Balloon Had Tools to Collect Communication Signals

“The US wouldn’t shoot it down, and now Biden’s only reaction is it won’t hurt our relations with them???”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) According to the State Department, China’s spycraft, which targeted US communications, flew over more than 40 countries and is directed by the Chinese military.

The NY Times reports:

The United States used high-resolution imagery from U-2 flybys to determine the balloon’s capabilities, the department said in a written announcement, adding that the balloon’s equipment “was clearly for intelligence surveillance and inconsistent with the equipment onboard weather balloons.” Continue reading

FBI whistleblower raises fresh concerns about bank record mining, undercover agents in J6 probe

“Veteran FBI intelligence analyst’s testimony raises civil liberty concerns about acquisition of bank records, possible undercovers at U.S. Capitol.”

(John Solomon – Just the News) A recently retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst told Congress in a whistleblower disclosure that agents in Boston were improperly pressured by Washington to open criminal cases on 140 people who had simply taken a bus ride to the Jan. 6 rally in Washington. The agents refused because there was no evidence the attendees engaged in any criminality, the whistleblower said. Continue reading

The Rise of Statism in the Evangelical Church

“Then he will say to those on his left [goats], ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Mat 25:41

“Tim Keller’s recent comparison of Francis Collins, the former head of the NIH who was responsible for much of the government’s COVID policy, to the prophet Daniel is particularly disturbing. Collins is known for his pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQ views, and Keller’s suggestion that Christians should blindly follow government mandates, even when they conflict with their religious beliefs and values, represents a fundamental departure from the Church’s traditional stance on religious freedom and conscience.”

(The Dissenter) The growing threat of statism within the Church is a matter of immense concern in today’s society. This dangerous political ideology holds the state as the supreme authority, promoting state-sponsored secularism that allows religious practices but forbids any influence on state policies…. Continue reading

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Delivers the GOP Response to SOTU: ‘The Choice Is Between Normal and Crazy’

“We are ready to begin a new chapter in the story of America — to be written by a new generation of leaders ready to defend our freedom against the radical left and expand access to quality education, jobs, and opportunity for all.”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) delivered the Republican response to the State of the Union address.

According to The Hill, Sanders “finds herself at her highest position yet in a GOP that is at an intersection between Trumpism and potential new leaders” with her appearance…. Continue reading

Mob of Trans Insurrectionists Storm the OK Capitol

“No insurrectionists were arrested for storming the Capitol and stopping the order of business.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) A mob of trans insurrectionists stormed the Oklahoma Capitol to demand mutilation surgeries and puberty blockers for children. The militants call the mutilation of minors “healthcare.” There might be some rare cases where it makes sense, but not in the overwhelming majority of cases. It’s ideology, not healthcare.
