Anthony Blinkin’s ‘innocence’ claim adds to web of lies about Hunter Biden

(Jonathan Turley – NY Post) Secretary of State Antony Blinken is claiming the political version of the immaculate conception.

In a Fox interview, Blinken suggests that he is free of blame in the creation of the 2020 letter from former intelligence officials claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story was likely Russian disinformation.

Despite the primary organizer of the letter naming him as the Biden campaign adviser who first raised the claim, Blinken insists that he remains without sin. Continue reading

John MacArthur Calls out Ministry for Criticizing Him During COVID Lockdowns: ‘What are you Talking About? We Fight EVERY Battle’

“Sometimes what might appear to be a kind of a one on a scale of 1 to 10 is still an assault on the church and on the truth. So it isn’t that we all of a sudden become courageous when we face some kind of large scale attack, it’s that we just keep doing exactly what we’ve done all along, no matter what comes and what goes.”

(Protestia) During yesterday’s Q&A Chapel service, John MacArthur addressed the question of courage in the face of adversarial circumstances. He utilized the COVID church lockdowns and talked about the flack and pushback he received from 9Marks ministry…. Continue reading

Saddleback Church Covers Up Its Support For Homosexuality

“As the Annual Southern Baptist Convention is next month, the timing of the scrubbing is highly suspicious.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) In February, Evangelical Dark Web, among other discernment ministries, exposed that Saddleback Church had grooming groups to teach parents to be supportive of their homosexual or transvestite children in their sin. Saddleback Church was the longtime church of Rick Warren and is now helmed by Andy Wood…. Continue reading

(Madeline Hubbard – Just the News) The Navy has acknowledged having recruited a sailor who also was a non-binary drag queen to participate in a “Navy Digital Ambassador” pilot program designed to boost low recruitment numbers. Continue reading

Is It Time to Quit Coffee for Good?

Foul language warning – once. No foul language on the Joe Rogan interview which is worth your time.

“There is perhaps no mind-altering substance as tightly woven into the fabric of daily life than caffeine. Nearly 80 percent of adults in the U.S. consume caffeine, in some form, every day. Coffee is the primary caffeine-delivery mechanism for many people—two thirds of American adults drink it every day—and many consider it an indispensable part of daily life.” 

(John McDermott – Esquire) Petty Officer Second Class Marcus Bivens stood before a panel of U.S. Navy officers, hands cuffed behind his back, facing charges of an unauthorized absence. Continue reading

A Ban on Gas Stoves Is Officially Here

(Karie Pavlich – Townhall) In January U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka proposed a national ban on gas stoves and falsely argued they were a “dangerous hazard” that cause “indoor pollution.”

“A federal agency says a ban on gas stoves is on the table amid rising concern about harmful indoor air pollutants emitted by the appliances,” Bloomberg reported. “The US Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to take action to address the pollution, which can cause health and respiratory problems.” Continue reading

Boys in Girls’ Locker Rooms? Public Schools Are Quickly Becoming LGBTQ Whorehouses

WATCH THE VODDIE BAUCHAM VIDEO.

“In the first chapter of Romans, the Apostle Paul makes it evident that a society given over to sexual anarchy is under the judgment of God. He describes how God allows people to follow their impure desires, which leads to the dishonoring of their bodies, as they have exchanged the truth about God for a lie.” 

(The Dissenter) With the cultural drive to subdue the entire population of the world into a collective state of sexual disorder comes the urgent and ever-growing need to shield our children from it. It seems like every day we’re seeing another headline about boys who dress like girls exposing themselves in the girls’ locker rooms at school…. Continue reading

$100 Million Offer Made to Tucker Carlson for New Broadcast Role

“Wherever Tucker Carlson ends up, he has things to say that the public is anxious to hear. How long before the public gets its way?”

(Greg Byrnes – PJ Media) On Tuesday, Valuetainment Television made a public $100 million, five-year contract offer to Tucker Carlson, plus ownership shares in the company. Carlson is still under contract to News Corp., however, and his Tucker Carlson Today shows are still in the archive lineup. But his sidelining has created a media feeding frenzy. Newsmax also seems to be in the hunt…. Continue reading

9Marks Ministry Criticized for Comparing the Evils of Abortion to Climate Change

“Horton’s argument is not that he personally believes this is true, as he probably doesn’t. However, what he is attempting to do is obscure an act of idolatry in order to accommodate left-wing activists and integrate them into Christian circles.” 

(Protestia) Days ago, William Wolfe took aim at a 9Marks article titled Culture Warriors: The Good and the Bad, where author Michael Horton presupposes that “Even members of the same local church might hold widely varying political views, even on the same pro-life basis” and that “Persuaded that global climate change is a threat to life, one might rank the environment as highly as abortion on the list of concerns.” Continue reading

FDA: Adverse Reactions in 54% of Pregnant Women from Pfizer Vax – Some Died

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The FDA reports that 54% of Pregnant Women Suffered Adverse Reactions to Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine, Some with Alarming Severity. The FDA knew in 2021. Weren’t people told it was safe for pregnant women? Weren’t pregnant women forced to vaccinate to keep their jobs? Hold these people accountable!

An FDA report published last week under court order found that 54% of expectant mothers who received Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine experienced adverse reactions, some of which were severe and included fetal death and tachycardia. Continue reading

‘It’s Never Been More Clear. Epstein Was an Intelligence Asset. Not Only Was He Working with the CIA, Israeli Intelligence, Maybe Even Russian’

Watch the video!

(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit) The Wall Street Journal released an explosive report Sunday revealing that Jeffrey Epstein met with multiple left-wing individuals including Joe Biden’s now-CIA Chief William Burns after Epstein was convicted of child sex crimes.

The documents uncovered by the Wall Street Journal were related to Epstein’s private calendar. Continue reading

Greg Laurie Says Practicing Homosexual Deathbed Prophecy Has Come to Pass in New Movie

“What’s most astonishing about this is that Greg Laurie believes that an unrepentant practicing homosexual is actually receiving direct, divine revelation from God, and more importantly, that he believes that an unrepentant sinner is going to lead a preaching revival in this world.”

(The Dissenter) The recently released film “Jesus Revolution,” based on Greg Laurie’s book of the same name, has gained significant attention. Notably, it is being endorsed by influential figures within the Evangelical community, including former Southern Baptist president James Merritt and former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence. Continue reading

We were about to send our daughter to an overnight Christian summer camp. Then we read their ‘inclusivity’ statement.

“I am not kidding. I am not joking. This is real life. What follows are excerpts from this “Christian” camp’s inclusivity document. This has not been doctored in any way. These are REAL policies which are supposed to make (presumably) Christian families feel safe sending their children to this camp…”

(Not the Bee) There comes a time in each parent’s journey when one of his or her children will inevitably become obsessed with the idea of going to summer camp. Our 8-year-old daughter recently overheard her classmates talking about attending a local camp and immediately became enamored with the idea of sleeping in a sweaty cabin with a bunch of random people snoring around her….

Network Wants to Give Tucker Carlson a Job, And It Won’t Just Be Hosting His Own Show

(Jack Davis – The Western Journal) Take my network, please.

Well, those are not exactly the words TMZ used as it discusses the courtship of Tucker Carlson by the conservative media outlet Newsmax, but it is reporting that Newsmax wants to give Carlson more than just a show as a way to attract him.

The TMZ report is based on what it called “sources with direct knowledge” and said Newsmax is “floating the idea of letting him program the whole channel, not just his own show.” Continue reading

America is NO Longer a Democracy or a Republic but a Uniparty

“In a democracy, eligible citizens fully dictate how they’re governed — everyone who’s eligible votes on proposed laws and regulations, and the majority wins. The minority doesn’t have power or protection from the majority because there’s no charter or constitution protecting individual rights. Consequently, the majority has absolute power and can impose its will on the minority.”

(Mark Schwendau) There is a battle going on between those who support Joe Biden and those who support Donald Trump for the presidency. Joe Biden is constantly bashing MAGA Republicans as “…a threat to our democracy”. The Trump supporters are responding, “We are not a democracy, idiot; we are a constitutional republic!” Continue reading

Why Do Evangelical Churches Look So Much Like the Secular Culture Around Them?

“It’s high time for us to rise up, dust off our Bibles, and stand firm on the solid rock of God’s Word. We must reject the temptation to bow down to the idols of modern culture and instead be unwavering ambassadors for Christ. Our mission is to spread the Gospel, call sinners to repentance, and uphold the truth that there is no salvation apart from Jesus.”

(The Dissenter) As the eschatological clock continues to tick, and as we ever approach Christ’s return, it seems like every self-promoting, virtue-signaling Evangelical has jumped on the bandwagon of ever-shifting cultural movements. These trends, ranging from the use of preferred pronouns to a misguided “compassion” for mothers willing to take their unborn children to be killed on the altar of convenience, have been creeping into our churches and our homes watering down the truth of God in His word and robbing Him of His glory in creation. Continue reading

Tucker Hasn’t Been Fired? Fox News Has Big Plans for Host Through 2024 – Report

Must Watch Megyn Kelly video. This is what’s REALLY happening.

(Johnathan Jones – The Western Journal) A new report claims Fox News might refuse to release Tucker Carlson from his contract in a decision that could sideline the former primetime superstar until one month after the 2024 presidential election.

Matthew Boyle with Breitbart News published a lengthy piece late on Thursday that cited multiple current and former Fox News employees as sources who spoke about the state of the network. Continue reading

Huge Fox News Settlement Raises Stakes for Christians Who Made Similar Statements

(Steve Rabey – Ministry Watch) Lies have consequences, as Fox News confirmed when it agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million for repeatedly broadcasting election fraud falsehoods that defamed the company. Fox faces more lawsuits.

So do five Christian influencers who used their public platforms to make statements similar to the ones that cost Fox hundreds of millions of dollars.  Attempting to hold these Christian influencers accountable is Dominion executive Eric Coomer, who was doxed, faces death threats, and repeatedly changes residences to protect his family’s safety. Continue reading

America’s Greatest Threat: Not Transgenderism, Not LGBTQ, Not Progressivism, but God Himself

“As we witness the encroaching darkness in our nation, we must remain steadfast in the knowledge that our hope lies not in our own efforts but in the finished work of Christ on the cross. We are saved by faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone.”

(The Dissenter) “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)

In these modern times, when the moral fabric of our nation is stretched thin and the cacophony of discord echoes from sea to shining sea, it is easy to fall into the trap of fearing only the tangible threats that beset us…. Continue reading

Enough With the Mentally Unstable Climate Hysteria

“These days I question everything, especially when I see climate protesters being treated in a way that no one else would be treated in similar circumstances. Why was my son—who was just leaning toward a painting to get a better look at it—a greater threat to the art than vandals smearing paint on the Degas ballerina? It doesn’t add up.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Even the most pleasant among us would have to admit that things in the world aren’t the greatest these days, especially here in Joe Biden’s America…. Continue reading

Disarray Consumes Fox News as Murdochs Attempt to Reassert Control with Carlson, Bongino Ousters

(Breitbart – Matthew Boyle) Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.

Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election. The shocking decision to cancel Carlson’s top-rated weeknight program came just days after the network shut down its top-rated weekend program with host Dan Bongino…. Continue reading

Fox News To Anheuser Busch: ‘Hold My Gay Bud Light’

“Reports indicate that Fox News had become increasingly hostile to Carlson’s brand of on-air commentary, but the decision to cut him loose has cost Fox $800 million. On Wednesday night, Carlson released a short video hinting at his future plans. It got more viewers in one hour than Tucker’s old 8:00 p.m. timeslot got on Fox that night.”

(Sarah Weaver – Daily Caller) Not too long ago, several prominent Republicans and Democrats called for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson to be taken off the air for his reporting on the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the capitol. Well, he’s off the air now, but Fox News is paying a steep price. Continue reading
