(Breitbart) The Biden brand is an “abuse of soft power,” Devon Archer told Tucker Carlson during an interview released Wednesday on Twitter.
Archer was Hunter Biden’s best friend in business. Together they sat on Burisma Holding’s board and co-founded BHR Partners, a Chinese state-backed investment fund.
“Obviously, the brand of Biden, you know, adds a lot of power when your dad’s vice president,” Archer told Carlson.

“To fear the Lord means to walk in His ways, love Him, serve Him wholeheartedly, and obey Him (Deut. 10:12-13). But apart from Christ this is impossible.”
(Sarah Ivill – Place for Truth) Suffering is incredibly difficult, but all the more so when we don’t understand its purpose and we’ve lost our hope in the midst of it. It’s important, then, that in the midst of suffering we take time to reorient our perspective by turning to Scripture. The book of Job is particularly helpful to walk wisely through trials. It teaches us to fear the Lord, find hope in our friendship with God, and recognize our true foes. Continue reading
Chris Hodges makes the mistake of being nicer than God, and this is reflected in his professed statement that “God is a blesser” and that “God doesn’t damn anything.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) For Alabama megachurch pastor Chris Hodges, July brought an abundance of headlines featuring his name. Church of The Highlands (COTH) is one of the largest megachurches in America, with over 20 locations throughout Alabama. COTH’s pastoral restoration center, called The Lodge, garnered recent scrutiny over whether sexually deviant pastors were being “restored” at the church’s facility, which is located on one of their campuses….

“I’d do it all over again if it gives me an opportunity to share the good news and rescue innocent children being sexualized by their parents. God will use it for good. We will stand for truth even if we stand alone.”
(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) Police arrested and detained several young people in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Saturday while they were preaching the gospel at a public drag queen event targeted toward children. Continue reading
“Other items like gas furnaces, AC units, washing machines and refrigerators have also come under DOE scrutiny, all in the name of “energy efficiency” and combating climate change.”
(Addison Smith – Just the News) President Joe Biden is facing increasing opposition for his ongoing crusade against popular household items. As of August 1, traditional incandescent light bulbs became the newest on the regulatory chopping block, effectively outlawing them nationwide. Continue reading
(MinistryWatch) Below is a list of the largest media ministries in the country.
These days, almost all ministries have some media component, Pastors write books. Journalists have podcasts. However, the list below is a list of those ministries whose work is primarily media driven. They include media organizations — such as television and radio networks — as well as “teaching and preaching ministries” whose presence is primarily on radio and television.
For those of you who are fluent in the MinistryWatch 1000 database, this list includes the “Educational Media” and the “Radio/TV Stations” categories. Continue reading
“The other problem with Fox is that the place is filled with leftists, from the executive suite to the producers to the cameramen. They have a few conservative frontmen.”
(Mary Dowing – Independent Sentinel) Fox News is being touted as the comeback kid with its new lineup. They surged 26%. Media outlets barely mention that it is a surge since the crash immediately following Tucker Carlson’s departure on April 21st.
Their numbers still cannot compare to those they had when Tucker was at Fox…. Continue reading
“The movement suggests that wealthy nations should cut back on their prosperity for the sake of ‘ecological justice’. This is a slippery slope that aligns more with the redistributive agenda of Marxism than with biblical principles.”
The buzzwords ‘stewardship’, ‘sustainability’, and ‘creation care’ are ringing out from pulpits across the nation. At face value, they sound biblical and commendable. However, once we peel back the layers, we see a different picture—one where biblical truths are twisted to fit secular ideologies, where Marxism and radical environmentalism disguise themselves as biblical stewardship. Continue reading
There are several videos in this piece that are helpful in understanding the Biden family influence peddling that Hunter’s business associate Devon Archer exposed. Jonathan Turley and Jesse Watters nail it — Jesse lays out all the facts in a clear concise way. The videos are short. Here’s Whatfinger’s report:
Mollie Hemingway and Miranda Devine discuss Devon Archer confirming President Joe Biden participated in over twenty calls about his son’s foreign business dealings. “We have Devon Archer saying that Burisma executives asked Hunter Biden to help them get the prosecutor who was going after them fired. We know that five days later, Joe Biden was speaking in front of the Ukrainian parliament, laying the groundwork to get this guy fired. And then as you showed, he bragged about getting it done within just a few short months. This teaches us so much about how the Biden family business worked for foreign oligarchs. Continue reading
“When you take manhood and try to look at manhood in isolation, you’ve already got a problem. The God who created us created us male and female….you cannot understand maleness apart from femaleness… you have to understand what it means to be a man, first of all, by what it means to be made in the image of God.”
(Protestia) Voddie Bauchaum, dean of theology at Zambia’s African Christian University and author of the recent book Fault Lines joined Ben Shapiro for his Sunday special to discuss social justice and what it means to be a man, allowing the former pastor to witness to the Daily Wire host. The two kick off by talking about social justice and the redistribution of wealth, with Voddie pointing to the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 as the reason it’s so unbiblical. Continue reading
(The Dissenter) If you want to know just how low we’ve gone not only as a nation, but just how irrelevant we’ve collectively become as the Church, look no further than what passes as “Christian” music in the worship music industry.
You may remember the ever-popular “Christian” rock band from the late ’90s and early ‘2000s, Caedmon’s Call, which featured popular singers such as Doug Elmore, Cari Harris Moore, and Derek Webb…. Continue reading
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) It is easy to birth conspiracy theories. All that is required is chronic government stonewalling of reasonable requests for transparency. Then add in high officials serially lying under oath, along with the blatantly unequal application of the law. Institutionalize arguments from authority of politicians and bureaucrats who refuse to adjudicate arguments empirically.
Include the weaponization of investigatory and intelligence bureaucracies. Finish with the transformation of an obsequious media into a mouthpiece of the state. And presto, you end up with a skeptical, cynical public that learns to believe the very opposite from what it is told by elites. Continue reading
“These globalists are totalitarian at their core; they are unelected, self-appointed radicals who are going to make the population of Earth, excluding the elites, obey their will. It’s the reason for the global taxes, CBDCs, banks, wars, war on fossil fuels, and sustainable goals.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The globalists are planning worldwide lockdowns to save the planet based on their error-filled, computer-generated predictions that have a history of failure.
Klaus Schwab’s daughter, Nicole Schwab, claims our system is not sustainable, and it is an opportunity for The Great Reset…. Continue reading
When reading through 2 Timothy with some folk a few weeks back, I got a number of questions about some of Paul’s instructions that seemed very strange to my fellow readers.
There are a number of people that Paul seems to not want Timothy to associate with. He lists some individuals but then at the start of chapter 3 describes a long list of character traits before saying ‘avoid such people’ in verse 5.
The question as people framed it was ‘why should we not associate with them, surely we want them to hear the gospel?’ Continue reading
(Revolver) On the day that Hunter Biden was scheduled to go to court, the U.S. government conveniently decided to hold a big congressional extravaganza on UFOs, complete with sketchy “whistleblowers” who claim the government is hiding dead aliens.
Of course, many folks on the right saw this as nothing more than a coordinated distraction maneuver, similar to how they “re-arrest” President Trump every time Joe has a scandal pop up. Although, overall, the feeling from a lot of Americans was rather “meh.” Continue reading
“In summer of 2021, the White House was mounting a nationwide push for Americans to get vaccinated for Covid-19. Part of that push included a public and SECRET campaign to get Facebook to more aggressively police vaccine-related content, including TRUE information.”
(Ben Whedon – Just the News) House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has begun releasing subpoenaed documents from Facebook showing the social media platform faced intense pressure from the Biden administration to remove content that ran contrary to the White House agenda and ultimately complied. Continue reading
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) A new peer-reviewed study from Switzerland found that one out of 35 showed signs of heart damage after receiving the Moderna vaccine.
The European Journal of Heart Failure published the study and reported that heart damage was most common after the booster.
One in 35 or 2.8% of healthcare workers at a Swiss hospital had signs of heart injury associated with the vaccine, mRNA-1273, researchers found. Continue reading
“Call it a ministry, or call it an essential service, but in my humble opinion daycare is a necessary evil. Especially so for young babies who have not yet developed a healthy attachment to their parents to be separated from those parents for the vast majority of their waking hours daily.”
(Harriet Rigby – Not the Bee) Is daycare a societal good? Or a necessary evil?
Thanks to conservative pop-culture commentator Alex Clark of Poplitics, conservative moms are having the much-needed debate.
Clark recently interviewed author Suzanne Venker on her podcast, The Spillover, to talk about all the myriad problems with daycare. Venker argues that daycare should be a last resort for families, but in the current culture, it’s become a default for many moms. Continue reading
(Amy K. Hall – Stand to Reason) I don’t need to tell you that life is hard. The older you are, the better you know this. The heavy burdens of past grief, present suffering, and anxiety about the future can easily overwhelm us, but they don’t have to. There’s wisdom about handling suffering to be learned from those who have gone through it before us.
Tim Challies, who wrote about the unexpected loss of his only son in Seasons of Sorrow: The Pain of Loss and the Comfort of God, had this to say about how to bear crippling grief: Continue reading
“As a kid in the 1970s, I was constantly told that global cooling and overpopulation were the twin assassins that would soon be finishing off Earth and humanity. Here in the third decade of the 20th century, I’ve lost count of how many extinction events we’ve survived since I was an adolescent. I’m starting to get the feeling that nothing can do us in.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) “Weather isn’t climate,” is a popular refrain among members of the Climate Cult whenever a sane person points out that the weather is out of sync with their doomsday scenarios. When the weather does fit their narrative du jour, however, it’s climate. Continue reading
(Matthew Boose – American Greatness) The basic contours of the Biden family’s corruption scandal have been known for years, but the details have been suppressed. What the public knows, it knows despite the efforts of the media, the Democrats, and the “intelligence community” to bend, twist, and bury the truth. For instance, it is no secret that Biden pressured Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son’s business partners. In fact, Biden bragged about it. But in the conventional narrative, Biden was doing this not out of personal interest, but as part of an institutional effort to root out corruption. This is the kind of obtuse, self-serving nonsense that passes for “journalism” today. Continue reading
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) Where do morals come from? Are they objective or subjective? Are their origins from God or are they somehow a result of evolution, a byproduct of Social Darwinism? Our answers to these questions largely determine how we live with and treat other humans and often even define which humans have human rights that should be protected.
About a decade ago, we watched an interesting series by the Dutch public broadcasting system, VPRO. The question of the origin of morality was put to Darwinian paleontologist, the late Steven Jay Gould, in part 6 of their 7-part series, “A Glorious Accident”: Continue reading
“Former U.S. Attorney, Brett Tolman, says the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware has a tough choice to make right now. They could dismiss this thing and admit they’re a protection racket for the Bidens or they could restore the legitimacy of the department’s reputation and do something more substantial. Either way, they have a month and what happens at the end of that month, will tell us everything we need to know.”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) It’s been 24-hours since Hunter Biden entered a Delaware courtroom expecting to walk away without jail time and a codification of his sweetheart plea deal offered by the Department of Justice — wiping away felony tax fraud and a felony gun charge with minor misdemeanors and a diversion program. Continue reading
“These proponents of queer theology, in their quest for a gender-fluid understanding of God, are desperately twisting the Scripture, venturing into uncharted territories laden with speculative and unsubstantiated theories. They are attempting to chart a new gospel of perversion, detached from the entirety of God Himself, and then using the name of God to affirm their own rebellion against Him.”
(The Dissenter) In an era where absurdity appears to have become the new norm, an article at New Ways Ministry titled Queer Theory and Theology Can Help Widen Church’s Understandings of God and Creation epitomizes this trend with stunning arrogance. The claims made in this hit piece against orthodox, biblical Christianity are, to put it mildly, bewildering—even disorienting. Continue reading
“As in previous hearings, lawmakers and witnesses expressed a desire for the U.S. military to tell the public more about what they know.”
(Just the News – John Solomon) Objects that stop in midair, then go in the other direction, ones that remain stationary in 130 mph-plus winds – these were just two accounts of what U.S. pilots are encountering in the missions, a group of retired military members told Congress on Wednesday about unidentified flying objects, or UFOs.
