Deadly germs, Lost cures: A Mysterious Infection, Spanning the Globe in a Climate of Secrecy

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ ,

C. auris is so tenacious, in part, because it is impervious to major antifungal medications, making it a new example of one of the world’s most intractable health threats: the rise of drug-resistant infections.

(Matt Richtel & Andrew Jacobs – MSN.com)   Last May, an elderly man was admitted to the Brooklyn branch of Mount Sinai Hospital for abdominal surgery. A blood test revealed that he was infected with a newly discovered germ as deadly as it was mysterious.

Doctors swiftly isolated him in the intensive care unit. The germ, a fungus called Candida auris, preys on people with weakened immune systems, and it is quietly spreading across the globe. Continue reading →

One drag queen goes by the name of “Annie Christ”

At the beginning, the anonymous author admitted, “I had tried for so many years to alleviate my depression and dysphoria through random sex, I had lost track of how many partners I’ve had.” This eased the transition from “sex work” to becoming a transgender prostitute and porn actor.

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) On Thursday, activist parents with MassResistance unmasked another child sex offender who greeted children at Drag Queen Story Time. According to local MassResistance leader Tracy Shannon, a drag performer with many aliases has sexually assaulted children and publicly recounted his history as a transgender dominatrix and prostitute for hire….

Ted Cruz Threatens Lawsuit After Yale Law School Blacklists Christian Firms

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , ,

“Due to this very activism, the far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) branded ADF a “hate group,” placing it on a list along with the Ku Klux Klan. Even ADF’s ideological opponents with the ACLU and the atheist group Military Religious Freedom Foundation have denounced this label as false.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  In February, a group of Yale Law students invited a lawyer from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a Christian law firm, to speak at the campus. The student LGBT group caused a ruckus and demanded the school yank all funds from students and alumni who work with organizations that “discriminate” against LGBT people. Yale caved in late March, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) responded with a scathing letter threatening legal action. Continue reading →

Mormon church pledges to reverse its anti-LGBT policy

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , ,

The Mormon Church, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), denies the doctrine of the Trinity, believes salvation is by grace plus works, that people will become gods and goddesses, also that the true gospel has been perverted and lost, therefore founding “prophet”Joseph Smith was called upon by God to restore the true church. Mormonism is not the true Church of Jesus Christ, as they claim. The truth is, Mormonism has a counterfeit gospel.

Yale Law School Yanks Stipends From Students Who Work For Christian Firms

Conservative students who read the announcement were outraged. At first glance, the policy looks like it applies to organizations with disfavored policy positions. A student working for ADF, for example, would not receive school funding because ADF advocates for natural marriage.

(Aaron Haviland – The Federalist)   Several weeks ago, I wrote about the challenges of being a Christian and a conservative at Yale Law School. A few days ago, the law school decided to double down and prove my point. Continue reading →

Planned Parenthood says your sex is whatever you feel like. That’s crazy.

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , ,

What exactly is a “prostate-owner,” you ask? Well, according to soft-core porn mag Teen Vogue, it means those whose anatomy includes a prostate. Detesting the precision of language, they refuse to call that individual a male, hence, “prostate-owner.”

(Ryan Bomberger – LifeSiteNews)  “Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.” This is Planned Parenthood’s “gender spectrum” sex ed pseudoscience, championed by leading LGBT organizations including the ACLU, Lambda Legal, and Human Rights Campaign. It has rapidly become a religion among leftist politicians and Bible-evading churches where blasphemy can get you  fined,  fired and finished financially. Continue reading →

Chicago police release files in ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett case, day after charges dramatically dropped

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ ,

“The dismissal of charges against Smollett over the alleged attack drew a swift backlash from the city’s mayor and police chief and raised questions about why Smollett was not forced to admit what prosecutors had said they could prove in court — that the entire episode was a publicity stunt.”

(Fox News)  Chicago police came out swinging Wednesday and released the full 61-page investigative report in the alleged Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax, one day after charges against the “Empire” star were dramatically dropped — but the move prompted a moot court order. Continue reading →

As Russia collusion fades, Ukrainian plot to help Clinton emerges

“Unlike the breathless start to the Russia collusion allegations — in which politicians and news media alike declared a Watergate-sized crisis before the evidence was fully investigated — the Ukraine revelations deserve to be investigated before being accepted.”

(John Solomon – The Hill)  After nearly three years and millions of tax dollars, the Trump-Russia collusion probe is about to be resolved. Emerging in its place is newly unearthed evidence suggesting another foreign effort to influence the 2016 election — this time, in favor of the Democrats. Continue reading →

Mueller report summary released, showing no proof Trump team conspired with Russia

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , ,

Democrats are devastated that evidence shows that President Trump is not a Russian agent.

Even after Special Council Robert Mueller destroyed the Trump-hater’s “Russian collusion” conspiracy theory, the Left continue to insist that they lost the election because Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin. The reason Dems lost is because Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate who ran a bad campaign. Democratic lawmakers, aided by the irresponsible media, continue to spread lies and call for more investigations and impeachment. President Trump has been vindicated. Time to move on.

(Gregg Re – Fox News)  Attorney General William Barr on Sunday released the “principal conclusions” of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s completed Russia probe in a bombshell four-page letter to Capitol Hill lawmakers, which stated definitively that Mueller did not establish evidence that President Trump’s team or any associates of the Trump campaign had conspired with Russia to sway the 2016 election — “despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.” Continue reading →

Christian book seller, LifeWay, carries books by false teacher Beth Moore, Word of Faith prosperity preachers, anti-trinitarians, New Agers, Roman Catholics, those who allege they’ve gone to heaven and returned to tell about it, “gay Christian” activists, and the controversial The Message “bible” written by apostate Eugene Peterson. The retailer announced that all its stores will be closing. Reformation Charlotte has the story:

Short-Term Opioid Abuse Requires ‘Long-Term’ Brain Recovery

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ ,

“We’re putting a lot of emphasis on prevention because of how difficult it is once they’ve gotten involved with this,” said Carson. “It means educating people. It means looking at the gateway. It disturbs me that I see so many people trying to legalize marijuana, for instance. It’s a well-known gateway. But not only that, but as a pediatric neuroscience, I recognize that the human brain continues to develop until your late 20s, and it is well-documented that cannabis affects the developing brain and can affect your IQ. We have enough people low IQs. We don’t need to be generating more.”

“The New York Times did not place this story on the front page; in fact, they did not cover it at all.

“In August 2017, Thorn appeared on a podcast that was later entitled “Joe Thorn Loves the Darkness” as he was asked about his various interests, which included horror films, cigars, bourbon and heavy metal music—including “melodic death metal,” noting that “95 percent” of his listening is heavy metal music.”

(Heather Clark – Christian News Network)  In a move that some would say is counter to its mission of “calling the church … to repent of its worldliness,” The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals has invited an unorthodox pastor and podcaster who espouses a love for all things dark—from horror movies to death metal to dark fiction—and whose “Pastors in Cars Smoking Cigars” series and other videos reflect his love and promotion of cigars, bourbon and tattoos, to speak on justification and the Christian life at its upcoming Reformed theology conference.

LDS Church, de-emphasizing those three letters, unveils a new internet address with more changes on the way

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

The title should be “LDS Cult” because that’s what the organization is. This cult is hoping to re-imagine itself by de-emphasizing “LDS” and “Mormon” and calling itself the “Church of Jesus Christ.” But that doesn’t change the fact that Mormonism is not in any way shape or form a Christian organization as it falsely claims, for the reason that Mormons reject the deity of Christ! They also reject the doctrine of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three separate gods, say Mormons) and teach that Jesus was the first born son of Heavenly Father (Elohim) and Heavenly Mother. Mormons also believe that Jesus was the spirit brother of Lucifer, the second born son of the heavenly couple. Now to the article over at The Salt Lake City Tribune: Continue reading →
