Ads in Four Swing States Criticize Kamala Harris for Supporting Teenage Gender Transitions

“Talk about weird, physically healthy boys and girls are having their genitals and sexual organs destroyed, and Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies in the Senate not only think that’s acceptable but are forcing taxpayers to pay for it.”

(Paul Bois – Breitbart) Attack ads airing in the swing states of Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have been criticizing Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris for her past support of taxpayer-funded transition of teenagers. Continue reading

Hillary Clinton Sets the Stage for a 3rd Assassination Attempt of DJT

First watch this video:

Republican Senators demand more resources for the U.S. Secret Service in the wake of a second assassination attempt on former President Trump, and call out the anti-Trump rhetoric by Democrats.

Now read Mary Dowling’s report:

Hillary Clinton did not post any statements condemning the Trump assassination attempt. Her first statement came in a hate-filled rant on Rachel Maddow’s show, where she called him a “danger to the world.” She directed the media to keep pressing that issue. Continue reading

An Imprecatory Prayer on Behalf of Donald Trump

Many Christians are coming to the end of their rope as you will see in this piece by Protestia’s staff that includes a prayer asking Almighty God to pronounce harsh judgment on the enemies of the cross. 

(Protestia) Evangelical Christianity has grown strangely distant from the practice of imprecatory prayer, which is as sad as it is understandable, given the softness of our age. From the soft-handed, limp-wristed pastor in preacher-sneakers to the armchair theologian at Starbucks pounding out Tim Keller tweets with a pumpkin spice latte mustache, to the glitter-faced worship gal writhing on stage to a Hillsong tune, few understand the deep, rich heritage of imprecation in David’s Psalms. But perhaps we should get back to that if only we could stomach it.

To imprecate means “to invoke a curse,” and believe it or not, the Bible is full of this. In fact, most of these imprecations – many in the form of imprecatory prayers and songs – come from the man who was “after God’s own heart,” King David (Psalm 7, 35, 55, 58, 59, 69. 109, 139). Considering his songs were inspired of the Holy Ghost, one would be hard-pressed to argue that there is no place for them in the life of a Christian. Continue reading

JD Vance’s MUST READ Message on Censorship and Political Violence

Following is J.D. Vance’s address on the 2nd attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump. He also deals with the reaction to Springfield Ohio events. He ends with his views on political censorship and the violence that will inevitably follow.

“Yesterday, Donald J. Trump nearly lost his life. An armed gunman waited for him in the bushes. He brought a GoPro camera to record it. A secret service agent spotted the barrel of a gun through a fence and shot at the gunman. The gunman fled. He was caught. And now we slowly learn about him and his motive.

“President Trump is my running mate, and my friend, but he is more importantly a father and grandfather to people who love him very much. I want him to have many more years with his family. (And selfishly, I’d like many more with my own.) Continue reading

It’s OK to Call Your Political Opponents Insane If They’re, You Know, Insane

“The upper echelon Dems know that they’re lying. We’re all used to leftist pols lying for political gain. What’s changed this year is the sheer volume of it. I said the same thing in a VIP column last month, but I was only writing about the Dems’ lapdogs in the mainstream media in that one. While it’s bad enough that Jake Tapper and Paul Krugman are lying more than ever, it’s exponentially worse when the president, vice president, Senate majority leader, and House minority leader are sanctioning it with their litany of lies.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) On the Monday edition of our legendary VIP Gold live chat show “Five O’Clock Somewhere,” Stephen Green and I were discussing our exasperation with the relentless vitriol from the American Left that, once again, induced some loon to try and kill former president Donald Trump. We have both been professionally writing and talking about politics for a very long time and we have never seen anything like this. It’s even worse than the Democrats’ unhinged behavior from 2016-2023. Continue reading

If the Church is Divided, Blame the Fake News Media

“When a leader favoured by the press is in office, we can expect fluff pieces, fanfare, and low levels of account keeping. When a leader disliked by the press is in power, we must realize that every word and action will likely be scrutinized in an endless search for flaws and failures. This is not fair — but it is fact.”

(Kurt Mahlburg – Clear Truth Media) It’s no secret that the American church is deeply divided — especially over politics. Instead of pointing fingers at each other for the division, however, it’s time we name the elephant in the room: America’s corporate media. Continue reading

Rare Video of Bethel Church’s Infamous ‘Honey Barrel’ Unearthed

“Now very, very rare, with a newly unearthed video of the “Honey Barrel” recently discovered deep in the heart of an Imgur folder.”

(Protestia) The 10,000-member Bethel Church in Redding, California, is an assortment of false teaching and bizarre charismatic shenanigans. From ‘Little God theology,’ using prophetic Uno cards, going on satanic treasure hunts, teaching that Adam created the animals in Eden, that Michael the Archangel wears tights, and that angels sit around the throne of God having “farting contests,” it’s a hotbed of strange fire burning uncontrollably throughout Christendom. (see endnotes.) Continue reading

We Have to Talk About Friday’s Kamala Interview

“Overwhelmed, cringey, evasive Kamala Harris made a comeback, serving up patented word salads. The reason her team is clearly avoiding interviews came, once again, into very clear focus.”  

(Guy Benson – Townhall) This is sure to be overtaken by the second failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump in the span of just three months, but it merits additional scrutiny, beyond Sarah’s thorough coverage over the weekend.  On Friday evening, the first televised solo interview of Kamala Harris aired on a local ABC station in Philadelphia. Yes, the first and only TV interview featuring just Kamala Harris as her party’s presidential candidate thus far took place in mid-September, about a month-and-a-half after Joe Biden was driven out of the race….

Religious Pluralism: The Roman Catholic Church’s Last Ditch Effort to Undermine the Gospel

The pope wants us to believe that all these different religions are just “different languages” to arrive at God. This may sound poetic, but it’s pure nonsense. There are no “different languages” to God. There is one gospel—salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. The apostle Paul wrote with the utmost urgency: “If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:9).

(The Dissenter) Some Catholics call him “Papa,” and others call him the “holy father.” Yet, despite these terms of endearment for a man who sets himself up in the place of Christ, The Roman pope, who goes by Francis, continues the Catholic tradition of leading people down a path of spiritual compromise and confusion—and ultimately, to Hell. Continue reading

Second assassination attempt since July raises question how shooter got within 500 feet of Trump

“We must ask ourselves how an assassin was allowed to get this close to President Trump again? There continues to be a lack of answers for the horrific assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and we expect there to be a clear explanation of what happened today in Florida.” Rep. Elise Stefanik

(John Solomon – Just the News) Secret Service agents disrupted the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life in two months, but difficult questions remain on how a would-be assassin with an AK-47 rifle got within 500 feet of the former president while he was golfing and why anti-Trump vitriol in America rages on. Continue reading

Trump Is Safe Following Gunshots in His Vicinity, Says Campaign

Donald Trump Jr. posted on X, formerly Twitter, that that “An AK-47 was discovered in the bushes, per local law enforcement. … A suspect has reportedly been apprehended.”

(Newsmax) President Trump is safe after what was described as a “security incident” near his West Palm Beach golf club.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump said. He said no further details will be provided.

Early reports were conflicting. Continue reading

Dem Senator Says Americans Will Be ‘Appalled’ By Interim Report on Trump Assassination Attempt

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Democratic Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal made some stunning comments on Thursday following a closed-door briefing by acting Secret Service director Richard Rowe.

Rowe testified before a joint committee looking into the security failures during the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The Joint Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Senate Committee on the Judiciary will release an interim report “shortly” according to Blumenthal. Continue reading

Bill O’Reilly Exposes the Horror We Face If Harris Wins

“She co-signed Bernie’s healthcare bill, and she will do whatever she can to undermine private health insurance. She will try to break health insurance companies, and our health insurance policies will skyrocket.”

Sentinel reported that Marxist Harvard Professor Kaus attended the DNC Convention committees and laid out some of the most alarming goals Democrats have once Kamala Harris wins. It included ending the filibuster, destroying the Third Branch of government, and passing every initiative they had on Voting Rights. Bill O’Reilly presented his views on Sid Rosenberg’s radio show this morning. He added it to the list, and it will make you ill. It’s not only logical, it’s alarming. Continue reading

IHOPKC Finally Investigated By Independent Outside Group With Law-Enforcement Expertise

Firefly, a neutral third-party, is comprised of “current and retired law enforcement investigators, seasoned therapists, and forensic interviewers from throughout the country.”

(Protestia) For nearly a year, former International House of Prayer-Kansas City (IHOPKC) leaders known as The Advocacy Group have been clamoring and insisting that Mike Bickle and his former ministry undergo a thorough investigation by an independent third-party group, and it looks like they’ve gotten their wish. Continue reading

Former Clinton Advisor Calls For Internal Investigation Into ABC for Rigging Presidential Debate Against Trump

(Christina Laila – Gateway Pundit) Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn called for an investigation into ABC News for rigging the presidential debate against Trump.

Trump and Kamala Harris faced off for their first presidential debate on Tuesday.

It was 3 against 1. The debate moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, fact-checked Trump at every turn yet and they ignored all of Kamala Harris’s lies.

Kamala Harris told over two dozen lies and dodged questions but the moderators did not fact-check her.

NOT ONCE. Continue reading

Cultural Christianity Is Not Enough

“We need to know, hold to, and unashamedly teach what the Bible teaches regarding the existence of God, the origin of man, and the design of the sexes. But to take it further, to understand that we also need to know, hold to, and unashamedly teach the attributes of God, like His holiness, justice, and goodness.”  

(Jacob Tanner – Clear Truth Media) The Psalmist says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain” (Ps. 127:1). Continue reading

Everything You Need to Know About Kamala in Her Own Words in One Place

“We have to stay woke. Everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokist or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.”
(Rebecca Mansour & Alana Mastrangelo – Breitbart) Kamala Harris has given a single televised interview and no press conferences since becoming the Democrats’ nominee for president. Given the establishment media’s unprecedented blocking, tackling, and gaslighting (including the 9/10 debate), we’ve assembled over 100 videos of Kamala Harris in her own words so that the American people can see where she stands and who she is.

On the site is a list of links to must watch videos that reveal who she really is, starting with… Continue reading

Exposing the Campaign for Immorality

By John MacArthur

The 2024 Democratic National Convention is a revelation of the sinful depths to which our society has sunk. It’s a celebration of all that God hates.

A keynote speaker, Oprah Winfrey, declared that without aborting babies there is no American dream. Achieving limitless abortion is at the top of their agenda. The Democratic party has become a death cult.

“For he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord. But he who sins against me injures himself; all those who hate me love death.” PROVERBS 8:35–36 Continue reading

ABC Moderators Were Lying: EIGHT ‘Aborted’ Babies Were Born Alive & Then Left to Die in Minnesota

Unless I’ve missed a memo, Minnesota is a state in the United States of America. So why did Linsey Davis choose to interject herself into the presidential debate, correct and chastise one of the candidates, and smugly declare there’s “no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born”?

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” said ABC debate moderator Linsey Davis, as she smugly “fact-checked” the Republican nominee. “Madam vice president, I want to get your response to President Trump.” Continue reading

This one question Harris refused to answer at the debate says it ALL…

“Team Harris knows Americans aren’t better off—we’re worse than ever. That’s not even up for debate—no pun intended. So, they’re betting on the idea that enough people would rather stay in hopelessness, poverty, and endless wars than see President Trump retake the White House. That’s how stupid and brainwashed they think American voters are, and sadly, in many cases, they’re right.” 

(Revolver) The much-anticipated debate between President Trump and Kamala Harris took place last night. President Trump didn’t need to do much—he just had to hold his ground and remind everyone that Kamala’s had nearly four years to fix all the problems she keeps talking about, yet instead, everything’s only gotten worse…. Continue reading

Alistair Begg Announces He’s Retiring From Senior Pastor at Parkside Church

“Earlier this year however, he came under intense criticism and was dropped from several radio stations when, during a recent program of Truth for Life, Begg offered a scenario where a Christian woman called in saying that her grandson is about to marry a ‘transgendered person’ (either another man who has ‘transitioned’ to a ‘woman’, or a woman who has ‘transitioned’ into a ‘man’) and wanted to know if she should attend the wedding.”

(Protestia) During the September 9 evening service, Alistair Begg announced to the congregation of Parkside Church that he’ll be formally stepping down from his role as Senior Pastor in a year’s time.

In the last few weeks, I have informed the elders of the church of my decision to relinquish my role as the senior pastor here at Parkside. Not tonight, not tomorrow night, and not for twelve months of nights. But on the fourteenth of September, 2025, God willing, I will make it that long. Continue reading

Preston Sprinkle Assembles LGBTQ and Other Woke Activists to Release New Study Bible

“Do you think their Study Bible will be a book about the gospel, sin, salvation, and the glory of God? Or will it be a manual for social justice activism, LGBTQ affirmation, and wealth redistribution?”

(The Dissenter) Today’s the day, folks! Preston Sprinkle, the theologian extraordinaire of the pro-LGBTQ leftist evangelical machine, founder of the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender, and one of the original board members of Revoice, is back with his latest attempt to completely undermine biblical orthodoxy. Continue reading

The Debate Was So Biased It Was Divorced From Reality. Trump Should Refuse To Do Another

“It was noted often on social media that Trump was really debating three people. That’s always the case for the Republican in these MSM-hosted debates though. Complaining about that is like going to an NBA game and whining about all of the tall people on the court. Yes, Trump should have been better prepared for it but in my opinion, he should never have agreed to an ABC debate in the first place.”  Stephen Kruiser

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) Tuesday night during the presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the fact-checks were flying, but only in one direction. As expected, ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis were criminally biased, making the debate effectively three-on-one against Trump and practically amounting to an in-kind donation to the Harris campaign. Continue reading

Your Kids Need REAL Answers To Hard Questions

(Vanessa Hunt – Real Truth Media) I felt his little body tense up next to me in the pew. We had arrived at one of those interludes during the worship portion of the church service where everything gets a bit quieter, lights are lowered, the music softens and the worship leader begins to speak from the heart; a mini-sermon if you will. “Church”, he said, “If you don’t enjoy singing in worship here on earth then you’re definitely not going to enjoy heaven!”

As soon as I heard those words my heart sank because I knew how they would be interpreted by my inquisitive, busy, rambunctious 8-year-old son…. Continue reading

Christianity Today Editor Urges Parents to Ship Children Off to Public School Indoctrination Camps

“This is about as well-thought-out as sending lambs into a den of wolves and calling it “strength training” for the lambs. McDade, and her ilk—people like Russell Moore, David French, Mike Cosper, and every other wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to convince Christians that their kids need exposure to secular indoctrination camps—are deeply confused at best, and dangerous at worst.”

(The Dissenter) Stefani McDade, a cronie of Russell Moore—both of whom seem to have taken up residence as thought-leaders in leftist Christianity—has been named the “theology editor” at Christianity Today. Yes, that Christianity Today—once a respectable outlet for serious Christians but now a glorified progressive mouthpiece masquerading as a platform for the faithful. Continue reading
