Ted Shuttlesworth Jr. Steps Down From Ministry After Committing Adultery

“Unfortunately, in the midst of so many miracles and breakthroughs, I let my own guard down….I failed to stand in my authority when temptations came. Needless to say, my actions opened the door, which I allowed, for sin to come in through loose and inappropriate conversations with the opposite sex.”

(Protestia) Prominent Pentecostal pastor and evangelist Ted Shuttlesworth Jr. is stepping down from ministry (at least temporarily) after revealing that he’s been cheating on his wife and having “inappropriate conversations” with other women [committed adultery]. Continue reading

Trump Gives GOP Blueprint for Midterms in Soaring SOTU Address

“This speech was a barrage of horrible optics for the Democrats. President Trump was relaxed and casual, and the Democrats who were in attendance were angry and childish…They sat around pouting all night while the president gushed about the U.S. Men’s Olympic hockey team, patriotism, the economy, and war heroes.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) I hope that many of you were able to join us for our liveblog of President Trump’s State of the Union address last night. My colleagues and I always have a lot of fun doing those. OK, maybe not always, things were a bit of a slog during the Biden years. Misery does love company, though. Continue reading

NYT Op-Ed Admits What We’ve Known All Along: ‘Gender Medicine’ Was Never About the Science

“There was never a wall of scientific consensus, of course. It was all driven by political ideology, and the fact that organizations are backpedaling now that millions of dollars in lawsuits and federal funding are on the line proves it was never about the science.”

(Amy Curtis – Townhall) Despite the Democratic Party’s efforts to codify a “Trans Bill of Rights,” public sentiment on the issue is turning. Two prominent medical associations, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Medical Association (AMA) have both come out against “gender-affirming surgeries” for minors….

Feminism: The Rot at America’s Root

(Philip Nier – TruthScript) In a meeting in 1969, a gathering of feminist, Marxist women chanted these words, which mirror a form of catechism: Q.”Why are we here today?”  A.”To make revolution,”  Q.”What kind of revolution?”  A.”The Cultural Revolution,” Q.”And how do we make Cultural Revolution?”  A.”By destroying the American family!”  Q.”How do we destroy the family?…

Over the last fifty years, we have seen the steady degradation of culture and society. They told us what they wanted to accomplish, how they were going to do it, and, by all appearances, they accomplished their goal. Continue reading

Fox News host says ‘transgender’ people should not be able to own guns in wake of deadly shootings

“Dorgan’s murderous spree followed closely on the heels of an eerily similar family-related school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, Canada. Another transgender-identifying young male tried to kill as many members of his family as he could before turning his gun on himself. By the time it was over, he had killed a total of nine and wounded another 25, some of whom remain in critical condition.”

(LifeSiteNews) In a discussion about a “transgender” father’s horrific shooting of his ex-wife and children at a high school hockey game, a Fox News host asserted that people who believe they’re the opposite sex should be banned from gun ownership.   Continue reading

CNN Finally Admits the Truth About Democrat-Run Cities

“Then came perhaps the most damning detail. An audit reviewed $2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that “officials could not reliably track where it went or what it achieved.” That’s right. $2.4 billion has just disappeared into the bureaucratic ether.” 

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) CNN’s Fareed Zakaria went off-script this week — at least by his network’s standards — and said the quiet part out loud: Democrat-run cities are a mess, and the politicians in charge either can’t or won’t do anything about it. Continue reading

Combative Carlson-Huckabee interview reveals US right’s chasm over Israel

“As long as Trump is in power, however, Maga critics of Israel will probably remain on the margins of deciding actual US policy in Israel and the Middle East. Yet once Trump leaves office, the right’s internal divide about Israel might pose serious problems to the coherence of the conservative movement.”

(J Oliver Conroy – The Guardian) Parts of the Maga right may be souring on Israel – but a hardline form of Christian Zionism seems to remain unofficial Trump administration policy, if a heated debate between Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, is any indication. Continue reading

How Many More Trans Shootings Before the FBI Acts?

“The Oversight Project and The Heritage Foundation have formally called on the FBI to designate transgender ideology as violent extremism, and I agree. Such a designation would allow the FBI to tailor specific investigative techniques to address the threat, but it must be careful not to suggest that all transgender people or their allies represent a threat.”

(Tyler O’Neil – The Daily Signal) On Monday, yet another person who identified as transgender carried out a mass shooting—this time during a high school hockey game—highlighting why federal law enforcement should consider designating the threat of transgender ideology as violent extremism.

While most people who identify as transgender do not pose a threat to others, a growing number of them and their allies have taken up arms, at times targeting or threatening those who disagree with the ideology. Continue reading

Minnesota Pastor Breaks Silence on Don Lemon

“The First Amendment does not allow premeditated plots or coordinated actions to violate the sanctity of a sanctuary, disrupt worship, and intimidate small children. There is no ‘press pass’ to invade a sanctuary or to conspire to interrupt religious services.”

(Tyler O’Neil – Daily Signal) Former CNN host Don Lemon has pleaded not guilty to federal charges for his role in the invasion of a Minnesota church last month, claiming he was merely covering the “protest” as a journalist, but the church’s pastor says Lemon was “in on the terror.” Continue reading

Rice and Obama are plotting and planning and saying way too much out loud…

“Susan’s tone and language raise questions about whether the left is drifting further and further toward a cycle of political payback. More weaponization, lawfare, and political punishments… all the stuff we saw during the Biden regime.”

(Revolver) Sometimes politicians accidentally say their innermost thoughts out loud. It is rarely smart. But sometimes it is strategic. It sends a signal to their voters: elect us, and we will crush MAGA.

Honestly, that kind of message often lands harder than any polished campaign speech ever could. Continue reading

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs

(Breitbart) The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump’s sweeping global tariffs are illegal, delivering the most significant legal defeat of his second term and undercutting a central White House trade initiative.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for a 6–3 majority that Trump exceeded his authority by invoking emergency powers to impose duties on virtually every country. The tariffs at issue were expected to raise about $1.5 trillion over the next decade—representing roughly 70 percent of Trump’s second-term levies, according to the Tax Foundation. Continue reading

FBC Orlando Cancels TPUSA Faith ‘Make Heaven Crowded’ Revival

“Overall, the TPUSA Faith project is perhaps well-intended but is theologically compromised by egalitarianism, much like TPUSA, which hosts women’s leadership conferences, but not anything specifically for men….”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Within Florida megachurch culture, there are many libertine Southern Baptist Churches that would include Church of the Glades and David Uth’s FBC Orlando. The latter of which has come under fire in the past for supporting homosexuality and this church also received massive PPP funds during Covid. Continue reading

The Empire-Building Church Model Does NOT See Christ as King and High Priest

“No one stands up and declares, “Let us worship me.” It’s subtler than that. It’s structural, cultural, and habitual. The stage grows larger. The man’s name becomes synonymous with the ministry. Criticism is framed as rebellion. Loyalty is framed as spirituality. And slowly—imperceptibly—the pastor functions as high priest of his own kingdom.”

(The Dissenter) There’s a certain tone a man uses when he believes the room belongs to him.

Not the building. Not the microphone. The room.

You can hear it in the cadence—relaxed, almost amused, but tight underneath. Like someone who has never had to be contradicted without consequences…. Continue reading

Shepherds, Not Celebrities

“There are many books and courses on leadership style that tend to mimic business practices and specialized manipulation techniques. We do not see this in Scripture, yet many of our churches operate in ways similar to secular institutions.”

(Jon Harris – TruthScript) If we are to continue, and God willing expand, Christian influence, it is vital for us to understand leadership, both for the sake of the church and for our broader understanding of cultural stewardship. Fortunately, the New Testament has much to offer, especially when it comes to leadership in the church. Continue reading

Hockey Game Shooter Threatened Actor Kevin Sorbo That He Might Go ‘Berserk’

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Mentally unstable male predators, encouraged by woke culture to claim they have gender dysphoria as a license to invade women’s spaces — and worse — have been on a real rampage lately.

And we can’t say we weren’t warned.

The latest deadly example comes from Rhode Island, covered in full last night by PJ Media’s own Catherine Salgado, where Robert “Roberta” Dorgan killed himself after murdering two family members and wounding three others at a skating rink. Continue reading

Charismatic Conferences to mark and avoid: Unleashed and The Courage Tour

UPDATED 2/24 – I’ve added a few more conferences to mark and avoid. Scroll to the end.…

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Christians often gather to pray for a common cause. Even when that cause is political. There is nothing wrong with beseeching God to return America to biblical principles. Many Americans, especially people of faith, believe that there’s something diabolical going on, and that our country is in the grip of evil. Conservative Christians believe that spiritual forces of wickedness have invaded virtually every aspect of society which is why we’ve failed to win the culture war.

It’s safe to say that more than half the country is in rebellion against God. So people of faith are driven to their knees to plead with God to intervene to save our beloved nation from the ravages of cultural Marxism and the Left’s dream of a socialist utopia.

Christians plead 2 Chronicles 7:14, a verse professing Christians have been misusing for years. “If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Continue reading

Hillary and Obama’s latest move spells a massive DEM DISASTER unfolding

“When Hillary Clinton says mass migration has been destabilizing and went too far, and Barack Obama says we are a nation of laws with borders that must be orderly and fair, that is a direct slap in the face to the violent activist soldiers that have dominated the party’s messaging for years.”

(Revolver) For years now, the left has treated mass migration as this moral, beautiful thing. And if you questioned it, that meant you were some heartless, xenophobic, or stuck in some outdated nationalist fantasy loop. Borders were sold as cruel, enforcement (ICE) was framed as oppression, and “diversity is our strength” wasn’t just a slogan; it was a cult. Now suddenly, two of the most powerful Dems in modern politics are singing a very different tune. Continue reading

The Price of Rebellion

“…the Minnesota rebellion story is not over. Walz and Frey may be in for a reckoning.”

(Bill O’Reilly) President Trump is mandated by the Constitution to enforce the laws of the United States.  He twice swore an oath to do that.  There’s no wiggle room concerning the inaugural oath.

The state of Minnesota does not want federal enforcement of immigration law. Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are publicly defiant; they will not “cooperate” with federal authorities in detaining undocumented immigrants…. Continue reading

Prominent Megachurch Pastor On Leave After Sex Abuse Allegation

(Protestia) A megachurch pastor and senior leader in the Assemblies of God denomination has taken a leave of absence following allegations that he sexually abused a young girl when she was just 16 years old.

Pastor Rod Loy is the senior pastor of First Assembly of God, a 16,000-member multisite megachurch based in North Little Rock, Arkansas, which is the third largest AOG church in the country. He also holds a leadership role as an executive presbyter in the Assemblies of God denomination. Continue reading

Stunning! Church of England Formally Abandons Proposal to Bless LGBTQ Marriages

“While it is a set-back for progressives, the fact that this was even a question has demonstrated their commitment to their depravity and heresy, and already there are plans in place to redouble their efforts until the denomination is fully LGBTQ-affirming.”

(Protestia) In a stunning move widely seen as a victory for conservative Anglicans in the denomination, the Church of England has formally halted its proposals to advance same-sex blessings in the church. Continue reading

Corporate Fear of LGBTQ Bully Dries Up

“The number of Fortune 500 companies abandoning participation in HRC’s radical activist index is yet another sign that ESG and woke capitalism were never about profits.”

(Thomas Gallatin – The Patriot Post) The leading organization pushing the woke LGBTQ+ agenda is the dubiously named Human Rights Campaign. For years, HRC targeted and bullied corporations into capitulating to its woke policy agenda, which meant catering to all its radical leftist promotion of sexual deviancy, all under the banner of human rights. Continue reading

Disney’s Epic Woke Choke on ‘Snow White’ Gives Me Hope for America

“Bud Light had what looked like a stranglehold on the Number One Selling Beer in America spot until the company tried to force its customers into the trans conversation. The beer is about to regain the top spot, but it took over three years, and Anheuser-Busch had to spend a fortune to make it happen.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Let us head into the weekend with something a little off of the beaten path of political stories this week. We will get back to the Bad Bunny Epstein Minnesota outrages next week, but today we are going to examine how a fairy tale princess beat up on some woke idiots and took a lot of their lunch money.
