“Parents quickly slammed Obama’s disconnected remarks.”
(A.J. Kaufman – PJ Media) Former President Barack Obama’s rhetoric during a weekend rally for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe is being criticized.
Obama classified Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin and Americans’ focus on important education issues as “fake outrage.” Continue reading
“The commercialized Christian music industry not only enables this idolatry but promotes it to the degree that God’s glory is robbed from Him at many levels, including in churches. The vast majority of Christian contemporary music is produced by celebrity artists who’ve compromised on biblical truths in order to serve their own selfish desires.”
(Reformation Charlotte) As if the celebrity Christian lifestyle alone wasn’t enough to cause most Bible-believing Christians to [become sick at their stomachs], the fact that almost all of them are rank heretics should leave us with no other choice…. Continue reading
(Protestia) During the October 20 Line of Fire, Jim Osman (author of God Doesn’t Whisper) called into Michael Brown’s show and criticized him for platforming the worst of the worst of charismatic ne’er do wells, telling him, “I would say that you have given a lot of shade, in fact, shade to some of the worst and most egregious charismatics, charlatans, false prophets, and hucksters that the charismatic movement has turned up in recent years, including Sid Roth and Benny Hinn and others just like it.” Continue reading
“Despite Mark Zuckerberg’s arguably pivotal efforts to put Joe Biden in the White House, Facebook’s token tolerance of some conservative publishers is considered intolerable by some employees, no matter how popular those publishers are with users.”
(Allum Bokhari – Breitbart) The Wall Street Journal has published internal material from anonymous sources at Facebook revealing that the company introduced tools that suppressed the traffic of Breitbart News by 20 percent, and other conservative publishers by double-digit margins. Continue reading
“This selective politicization of the military has now reached dangerous levels. After various officers wrote vociferously about the dangers of using military troops to restore order during 120-days of continuous rioting, violence, and arson during the summer 2020, they went absolutely quiet when Joe Biden ordered tens of thousands of federal troops, barriers, and barbed wire to militarize Washington, D.C. in winter 2021—the greatest militarization of our nation’s capital since the Civil War.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The highest echelon of the U.S. military is becoming dysfunctional.
There are too many admirals and generals for the size of the current U.S. military. It now boasts three times the number of four-star admirals and generals than we had during World War II—when the country was in an existential war for survival and when, by 1945, our active military personnel was almost nine times larger than the current armed forces. Continue reading
“John Piper invokes the same peer pressure that he claims he’s writing against as well as uses fear to motivate the individual.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) As usual, John Piper is showing up late on an issue, writing a lot but saying very little, and dressing bad unbiblical arguments in orthodox explanations of the text. Previous examples include voting Democrat and Critical Race Theory. Perhaps it’s too early to say whether John Piper is a false teacher or not [CRN believes John Piper teaches falsely], but he’s consistently bad on cultural issues whether it be voting, guns, or vaccines. Continue reading
“If you start with the notion that we’re pulling out entirely, I think you’d have to be pretty naïve not to assume things were going to go downhill once that withdrawal was complete.”
(Spencer Brown – Townhall) In a new interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper set to air on Sunday’s episode of “60 Minutes,” former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates — who served under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama from 2006 to 2011 — didn’t hold back in criticizing President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Continue reading

“Despite knowing that the mortality rate of this virus is extraordinarily low, there is a significant portion of the population that not only remains panicked about returning to a normal life, but expresses antipathy and anger towards those who don’t share their crippling paranoia.”
(Peter Heck – Not the Bee) I don’t know “Niccolò,” the online Twitter name (likely an homage to political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli) of a European user whose recent thread on the long-term impacts our COVID response will have on Western Civilization went viral…. Continue reading
“In the wake of all of this destruction, Mohler has been desperately trying to rebrand himself.”
(Reformation Charlotte) Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS), has been desperately trying to rebrand himself after a nearly decade-long stretch of bad decisions and poor leadership. Mohler, who is an excellent theologian but is noted for his “leading from behind” strategy of leadership, is responsible for the trainwreck that has now turned into the Southern Baptist Convention’s multiple scandals. Continue reading
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Recently I was going through my archives and stumbled on an article I penned in 2005, “Who Will You Serve, God Or The World”. Fifteen years ago I was pretty worked up over the moral depravity liberals were introducing into America’s public schools right under parents’ noses. Back then higher education had a bastion of professors spewing lies and Marxist propaganda into the malleable minds of college students, some of whom bought into what they were taught, hook line and sinker. Bad as it was, few parents seemed to notice. Those who did notice didn’t much care, even though Marxists are the enemy of God, religious liberty, and freedom. In 2005 I tried to warn parents that professors and teachers had their sights set on kids in grades K-12. Not in my wildest imagination did I anticipate the corruption of a whole generation of youth through entertainment, school books riddled with revisionist history, smartphones and access to social media. Continue reading
(Alex Barenson) Well, that’s not how they phrased it.
But it is the only reasonable way to read their press release claiming that the booster is 95% effective.
Remember. The booster is given to people who have RECEIVED the vaccine. (That’s why it’s a booster, right?)
And when they tested a booster against a placebo in those people, they found a 95% reduction in disease in people who received the booster (for a total of 11 weeks after they received the booster, excluding the first week, because science – by which I mean because including that week would not help their results). 95%! Continue reading
The Bidens made a full-sized scandal disappear, with the help of media members who did not want the public to see it. Twitter banned links to reports about the laptop until after Biden was elected president. The media dismissed the story as a “conspiracy theory” with some mocking to boot..
(Jonathan Turley – Fox News) This week marked an anniversary of one of the greatest political tricks in history: the disappearance of Hunter Biden scandals.
One year after the New York Post broke the story, new emails were recently released that added new details to what was a raw influence-peddling operation which netted millions of dollars from foreign sources…. Continue reading
“In A.A. one often hears about alcoholism being a “spiritual disease.” It is more accurate to see Alcoholics Anonymous as the spiritual disease, because it has pointed millions away from the Christ of the Bible, and watered down the beliefs of the Christians who have become members.”
(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) Who has fashioned a god or cast an idol to no profit? (Isaiah 44:10)
The people in A.A. are doing the best they can with what they have been taught. Continue reading
“The fate of America and the West lies largely in the hands of liberals. There are simply not enough leftists to destroy our most revered institutions. They need liberals to serve as fellow travelers to accomplish their ends.”
(Dennis Prager – Townhall) As I have noted repeatedly, liberalism and leftism have virtually nothing in common. In fact, leftism is the enemy of liberalism — as a handful of liberals such as former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, former Young Turk Dave Rubin, and others have come to recognize. Continue reading
Reporter Mollie Hemingway investigated the Zuckerberg situation and calls it “genius.”
(Bill O’Reilly) It was always wrong. But no one could explain exactly how votes were being corrupted in the 2020 presidential election. Trump legal people like Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell ran around condemning voting machines and promoting shady allegations of fraud. But they could never produce forensic evidence of wrongdoing – and both have suffered greatly for their advocacy. Continue reading
(Anony Mee – American Thinker) Thank you, Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, for your article on aspirin as a potential part of the COVID treatment regimen. And for mentioning ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as similar safe and potentially effective therapeutics.
Here are a couple more to be considered. (Please note that I am not a physician, and I am not dispensing medical advice. I’m just commenting on publicly available information.)…. Continue reading
“Can you trust God to write his story in their hearts and lives in his way and in his timing? The gospel is the greatest need for those who pursue sexuality on their own terms—along with those who agree with them and buy into worldly sexuality.”
(John Freeman – Harvest USA) The parents sitting before me had tears streaming down both their faces. Their 22-year-old daughter was now married to another woman. These Christian parents experienced understandable grief and heartache. Continue reading
“In one of the latest videos [on the site] to surface, Bethel Church is preaching a “tunnel of youth” heresy. Similar to Bethel’s “tunnel of fire” nonsense affirmed by Michael Brown as an act of the Holy Spirit…”
(Reformation Charlotte) If you’re familiar with the cult of Bethel Redding, you’re aware they practice such things as grave sucking (or grave soaking) whereby people lay on the graves of dead people to “soak” the anointing from them…. Continue reading
Our Byzantine interior and Roman coasts are quite differently interpreting their shared American heritage as they increasingly plot radically divergent courses to survive in scary times.
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) In A.D. 286 the Roman emperor Diocletian split in half the huge Roman Empire administratively—and peacefully—under the control of two emperors.
A Western empire included much of modern-day Western Europe and northwest Africa. The Eastern half controlled Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia, and northeastern Africa. Continue reading
There always seems to be more. For example, on October 15, we learned of yet another of Hunter’s Chinese business deals when the Washington Free Beacon revealed a new trove of his emails from a decade ago, in which Hunter conceded (or bragged?) that his value to the Chinese “had everything to do with my last name.”
(James P. Pinkerton – Breitbart) We’ve been hearing a lot these days about the Biden administration’s $3.5 trillion Build Back Better (BBB) plan that has been tangled up in Congress with uncertain prospects of success. Continue reading
Unlike Paul, they choose to be servants of man, looking to man (specifically the big-money people) for guidance on issues facing Americans (and important to Christians) today rather than to God. Their stance seems calculated to please the crowd. They dance around the issues in an effort to appease anyone who might be offended.
(Nina Daily – Reformation Charlotte) As I watched events unfold in Afghanistan during August as well as along our southern border and saw the toll on human lives, my mind wandered back to the voting advice given by some church leaders, specifically the elite evangelical (so-called) “leaders”–known as “Big Eva” (Big Evangelicalism)–during the 2020 presidential election…. Continue reading
“People of faith may find this especially fanciful, but as one myself, here’s my take. We’re not God. But as His children we are capable of eventually, after enough toil, replicating what we can observe in the physical world. No, we can’t infuse our creations with souls; they’re of the spirit. But can we forge some soulless entity with intellect, self-awareness, and purpose? I’d guess yes — in time.”
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) More than a century ago, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about the coming Übermensch, or superior man, and the “death” of God. Now Silicon Valley a-theologians predict the Singularity, the point at which artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intellect. Not only is this development less than a decade away, they say, but what they outline sounds like a science-fiction movie plot: Continue reading
(Kevin Downey Jr. – PJ Media) Judicial Watch acquired almost 500 pages of documents from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit they filed last May. What did they learn? Ashli Babbitt was unarmed and there are conflicting reports as to whether or not she was given a verbal warning. Some of the pages in the report are completely redacted.
“These previously secret records show there was no good reason to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton…. Continue reading
“There is a battle raging. We have a powerful enemy who seeks to devour, but we have a weapon that is more powerful and allows us to fight back—the truth. Armed with the truth of God, we can withstand Satan’s assaults. As ambassadors for Christ, we can stand firm against the devil’s lies in the culture.”
(Jonathan Noyes – Stand to Reason) Beneath the surface of the visible world, a battle rages in an unseen realm. Dark, wicked, supernatural powers seek to rule the world by force. The carnage and the casualties lie all around us. Continue reading
