Ripples of Kabul

“In a sane world, the Joint Chiefs and the secretary of defense would resign. We have heard for too long their careerist boasts about assigning climate change as their chief challenge. For too long they have virtue signaled their critical race theory credentials to Congress. For too long, they have bragged about rooting out alleged “white supremacists” from their ranks. For too long they have sparred with journalists, while fighting twitter wars and issuing cartoonish commercials attesting to their woke credentials.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The American-nurtured Afghan military of the last 20 years that had suffered thousands of prior casualties evaporated in a few hours in the encirclement of Kabul. Continue reading

New TGC Podcast is a Masterclass in Gospel Distortion

“The gospel is not simply the term used to reference the good news of what Christ has done and the biblical truths that surround this magnificent, saving work. Instead, the “gospel” is a separate, malleable, conceptual entity that does things on its own (often subverting the teachings of the Bible) and is a tool to be used to accomplish the goals of popular culture and anti-Christian worldviews.”

(David Morrill – Protestia)  On their new podcast You’re Not CrazyKoran-promoting pastor Ray Ortlund and “I’m deeply sexually attracted to men but I’m not gay” Sam Allberry fill the first episode with a masterclass of scripture twisting, Gospel redefinition, and wedge their unholy foot very firmly in the back door of the church with their promotion of so-called Gospel Culture.

Tucker Carlson Call to Action: American Citizens Must Speak Up or Become Complicit in ‘Soviet Society’ of Censors, Conformists

Salty language alert.

(Robert Kraychik)  Breitbart) Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, author of The Long Slide: Thirty Years in American Journalismwarned that America is becoming a “soviet society” prioritizing conformity and obedience to government over freedom of behavior and thought.

“I do think, marginally, people can be more brave and more honest just in their personal lives,” Carlson remarked on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow…. Continue reading

Rick Warren’s ‘Purpose Driven’ theology is built upon a false gospel

Warren also affirms the pope. Bible-believing Christians understand without controversy that the pope of the Roman Catholic Church is a deceiver, a liar, and an enemy of God. Yet, leave it to Rick Warren to refer to him as “Holy Father.”

(Reformation Charlotte)  Making #36 on our False Teacher of the Day series, Rick Warren could be one of the most well-known pastors in America. Ranking as the second largest Southern Baptist church in the nation, Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA has never failed to be at the forefront of controversy over the years. Continue reading

Will you fight for freedom?

(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America)  The difference between Afghanistan and Vietnam is that the Muslims would not fight for freedom. The Vietnamese did and were betrayed. That’s the difference. Don’t forget it. The real enemy is the Red Jihad.

Here’s the truth:

Vietnam would be free today except for a Democratic-controlled Congress that decided otherwise…. Continue reading

Are We in a Revolution and Don’t Even Know It?

“Socialism aligns foreign policy with the interests of the global oppressed rather than the citizens of a particular nation. In reductionist terms, what do lifting sanctions on Iran and appeasing its theocracy, reaching out to Hamas and snubbing Israel, and allowing the Taliban to overrun Afghanistan have in common?”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Institutions are being absorbed not just by the woke apparat, but by an array of ideologies that seeks to destroy them. Continue reading

Gaslighting, a Covid love story

“Now vaccine advocates have done a massive about-face. In the face of this horrendous data, they have simply refused to admit the vaccines are failing to work as they promised. They don’t ever even acknowledge that months ago, they said vaccines would sharply reduce coronavirus infections and transmission.”

(Alex Barenson) I’m old enough to remember when vaccines were the miracle that would put Covid behind us.

So are you. Continue reading

Dear Republican Trump haters – What did you get for your trade?

“You traded fairness for a George Orwell version of equality. Under the new administration, there are two systems of justice. Protesters on the left can set buildings ablaze, vandalize them and shoplift with impunity. Protesters on the right will be branded, surveilled and prosecuted as domestic terrorists.”   

(Jason Chaffetz – Fox News)  A little less than a year ago, a significant number of independent and Republican voters decided to trade bad tweets for bad policy. Today, your Twitter feed is void of President Trump‘s tweets. But the price was high.  Continue reading

Biden and Democrats Lack Mandate for Their Destructive, Leftist Push

“If Democrats can bully Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, Republicans may have no input on so-called “soft” infrastructure favored by the socialist wing. Tax and spending bills are not subject to the Senate filibuster, therefore Democrats can pass what they want, so long as all 50 senators stay together.”

(A.J. Kaufman)  It is baffling how President Joe Biden and his party govern outside the context of political realities. Continue reading

Refuting Hillsong’s recent misleading media statement

(Churchwatch Central) This article exists to refute the misleading claims in Hillsong’s recent media statement. We will mainly focus on the points that Hillsong claims are ‘fact’ in their statement. However, it’s worth quickly addressing two points in the statement that demonstrates the wickedness and self interests of Brian Houston:

Hillsong: “He has never placed blame on any victim and the actions of his father repulsed him. Continue reading

American Armageddon

“George Orwell would say of these cultural Marxists that they grab power in the present to reinvent the past in order to control our futures.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)  Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago.

The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives…. Continue reading

Teen Vogue Calls to ‘Mobilize Toward’ a ‘Socialist Future’

“Her short 17 years on this planet has allowed her to watch capitalism “fail time and again.” For example, she thinks she has “experienced two of the country’s worst recessions.” How adorable.” 

(Charlie Kirk)  The days of Teen Vogue giving uncomfortable sex advice so adolescents don’t have to have awkward talks with their parents is so last generation. This generation is kept abreast of the ‘woke’ movement with calls to arms and socialist mobilization. Continue reading

Major evangelical figure comes out as gay

“Followers of Jesus Christ have to completely disregard the teaching in the pages of Holy Writ to cling to their belief that God condones sex outside of marriage. Anyone who is involved in sex outside marriage is committing a sin against God. Period. This I know because the Bible tells me so.”

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Jonathan Merritt is “one of America’s most prolific religion writers” and a reporter for various news agencies including Religion News Service. He is also the son of former Southern Baptist Convention president James Merritt. In 2019 the pastor’s son chose to denounce evangelicalism and “seek God elsewhere.” On his 39th birthday Jonathan Merritt jumped out of the closet with both feet after years of repeated denials that he is a homosexual. Before I get to the details, you’ll need some background.

In 2012 Azariah Southworth, a “gay evangelical,” claimed he had a sexual encounter with Jonathan and chided him publicly for not admitting to being gay.  According to Azariah, Jonathan,

rides the fence because of the strong anti-gay stance his religious community continues to take. He is brave by daring to push the envelope a bit but not enough to give himself away. Exposing this truth of Jonathan’s sexual orientation is not an easy decision for me. I take no pleasure in doing this. As I type this my stomach is turning because I know of the backlash he will receive. I have thought about what all of this will mean for him and for me. I base my reasoning in the importance of living an authentic and honest life….If evidence is required to back my claim it can be provided.

The quote came from an article by Peter Lumpkins. Lumpkins reported that “Merritt routinely speaks for Baptist colleges, universities, and is a frequent speaker at Lifeway’s events. In addition, two seminary presidents–Danny Akin and Al Mohler–have in the past supported views on various social issues.” (Source) Continue reading

There is no coherent way to combine the identities ‘gay’ and ‘Christian.’

Some advocate a practice of “spiritual friendship,” in which two homosexuals of the same sex form an enduring and comprehensive friendship: making joint decisions, living in the same house, even referring to each other as their “other half.” Apart from sex, this is almost a marriage.

(Gay and the Gay Christian by Calvin Goligher – Reformation 21) The word “gay” can refer to:

  1. A pattern of male sexual attraction for other men.
  2. An identity rooted in such a pattern of attraction.
  3. More broadly, a variety of identities and practices that depart from the norm of male-female conjugal union. In this sense, it is the opposite of “straight” and a synonym of “queer.”

This word is a euphemism that contributes to the perception that homosexual practices are relatively harmless…. Continue reading

Fight Back: Here’s How People Are Legally Resisting Dystopian Diktats to Get a Covid Shot or Be Fired

“The only thing we do know is that Democrat Party elected officials believe the best way to deal with it is by authoritarian diktats. Their reflexive reaction is to bury freedom in the name of safety.”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  In the past week, Democrat governors and other Democrat Party elected officials throughout the country have launched a coordinated effort to threaten Americans’ economic security by issuing hasty “do what we say or your job gets it” Covid diktats. Continue reading

The Mob

(Bill O’Reilly)  Most Americans are fed up with the woke mob.  I firmly believe that.  They understand the vicious premise of that crew.  The virtue-signaling, the arrogant superiority, the condemnation of anyone who refuses to bow to political correctness.

If you had to break down the mob’s philosophy to its essence it would be this: they think they are superior human beings, better than you and me. Continue reading

Hundreds Gather to Defy NYC Covid Mandates…’We will not comply!’

“The crowd unfurled a banner of the mayor holding up a beheaded Lady Liberty.”

(Leisa Audette – 100%FedUp) Hundreds of New Yorkers have gathered at city hall in New York City to protest the covid mandates from Mayor de Blasio that prohibit the unvaccinated from participating in most activities in the city. Only the covid vaccinated will be able to participate in most indoor activities like restaurants, movies, Broadway shows, gyms. Continue reading

Needles, Blades, Drugs Thrown on Stage at Worship Concert in Portland While Ex-Military, Ex-Police Protect Christians

An Antifa photo contains foul language.

(Protestia) A day after Antifa attacked Christians at an event put on by Pastor Artur Pawlowski at a Portland park, Redding CA Bethel Church’s Sean Feucht put on a worship concert Sunday evening in the city. Reports indicate that they had Antifa on hand to menace and intimidate the gathered Christians–hanging out at the fringes, but not coming in, and no credible reports of violence. Continue reading

America’s Generals Lied, Lost Wars, And Looted The People They Claimed To Serve

We need accountability. The American people need a full accounting of the military mission to Afghanistan. Only 10 percent of the names of the 600 interviews conducted by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction who gathered the “Afghanistan papers” have been released. That needs to change.

(Josiah Lippencott – The Federalist)  Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress in June that he wanted to understand “white rage,” why “thousands of people” tried “to assault this building and … overturn the Constitution of the United States of America.” Continue reading

Lawyer: Capitol Cop Who Shot Ashli Babbitt ‘Ambushed’ Her on Jan. 6 Without Warning

“More than six months after the shooting, the U.S. Capitol Police still refuse to release the name of the officer. But several sources have identified him as Lt. Michael L. Byrd, a 53-year-old veteran of the force who was serving as commander of the House Chamber Section of the Capitol Police on Jan. 6.” 

(Paul Sperry – RealClearInvestigations) Kicking off the first hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot, Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat,  promised to fully investigate “the facts of what happened on Jan. 6,”  calling it “a scene of violence in the citadel of democracy.” Continue reading

What the heck is going on in this country?

“Every time we think the delusional left can’t get any crazier, these people come up with more abysmal notions that defy common sense and imperil more lives.  How about telling us how imperative it is for us to get vaccinated, wear masks, and engage in social distancing while they invite hundreds of thousands of untested migrants into our country and transport them to cities from coast to coast?”

(Bob Weir – American Thinker)  As the Biden administration continues to peel away the accomplishments of his predecessor, what I hear most from family, friends, and social media posters is a fear that Democrats have become power-mad with their recent ascendancy to a majority position in the House and Senate….

Why COVID-19 Vaccines Should Not Be Required for All Americans

I’m perplexed at the vitriol directed at folks who are reluctant to get vaccinated. For some, the biggest driver of their hesitancy is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has failed to issue the long-overdue full approval of the COVID-19 vaccines due to stability testing which has nothing to do with safety.

(USNews) COVID-19 vaccine mandates have become a hotly contested issue, as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations rebound nationwide, driven by the highly contagious delta variant and unswerving vaccine hesitancy…. Continue reading
