The Age of Coercive Control: We’re in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government. Now What?

(Megan Fox – PJ Media)  I know what you’re thinking. “We weren’t expecting the ‘Age of Coercive Control.’ We have iPhones. There are robots that run our lives —like the Jetsons, only with fewer flying cars. We’re so advanced! We just came off the Age of Information and Globalization and we expected an Age of Enlightenment to follow!”

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you haven’t figured it out yet, we’re entering the Dark Side. As I’ve been observing humanity since the pandemic began I’ve come to the conclusion that the proper name for the age we are currently in is the Age of Coercive Control. Continue reading

Blood Moons: Prophets Who Persist in Prophesying Falsely

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network)  A total lunar eclipse will occur May 26, 2021 and will be visible in North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. Some call the full moon “Super Flower Blood Moon.” The moon will turn a reddish color; thus the term Blood Moon. It will be the second of 2021’s two supermoons and it is going to be the largest and brightest moon of 2021.

EarthSky writer Bruce McClure examines the Blood Moon phenomena in “What’s A Blood Moon?” McClure informs us that:

Around the year 2013, when the expression Blood Moon first gained widespread popularity, a Blood Moon didn’t refer to just any total lunar eclipse, but to a member of a special series: four totally eclipsed moons in a row, each separated by six lunar months, with no partial lunar eclipses in between. Such a series is called a lunar tetrad [four things in a row]. Two Christian pastors popularized the term Blood Moon in their book, in which they discussed the upcoming lunar tetrad (April 14 and October 8, 2014; April 8 and September 28, 2015) in apocalyptic terms.

The four lunar eclipses came and went, and, although the world didn’t end, we gained another dubious meme: Blood Moon.

It’s not that the words “blood” and “moon” never appeared together in the same sentence before 2013, especially as regards eclipses. A full moon nearly always appears coppery red during a total lunar eclipse. That’s because the dispersed light from all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets falls on the face of the moon at mid-eclipse. For some decades at least, it’s been common for astronomy writers like us to describe an eclipsed moon as blood red. You just didn’t, until recently, hear the same eclipsed moon called a Blood Moon.

John Hagee and Mark Biltz, “spoke of the 2014-2015 lunar tetrad as representing a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. After all, the moon is supposed to turn blood red before the end times, isn’t it?”  These men speculated that this would fulfill the last days prophecies in Joel 2:28-32: “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.  The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes” and the passage from Revelation 6:12: ”When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood.”

“That description,” says McClure, “sounds like two different astronomical events: a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse. Sun turned to darkness = moon directly between the Earth and sun in a total solar eclipse. Moon turned to blood = Earth directly between the sun and moon, Earth’s shadow falling on the moon in a total lunar eclipse. Solar and lunar eclipses are very ordinary and frequent happenings that have occurred many times in our lifetimes. In fact, every year there are four to seven eclipses, some lunar, some solar, some total, some partial.”

Later in his article McClure answers the burning question: How common is a tetrad of total lunar eclipses? Continue reading

Rachel Hollis’s Problem Isn’t Privilege, It’s An Anti-Christian Gospel

Here is the biggest problem with Rachel Hollis: Her entire brand, from her self-help books emphasizing self-care and self-love, to her merchandise, to her videos, to her public speeches, is built on self-congratulatory screeds with the message “you control your life” mingled with a Joel Osteen-eque prosperity gospel. “I absolutely refuse to watch you wallow,” Hollis writes at the beginning of “Girl, Wash Your Face.” “I want to shout at the top of my lungs until you know this one great truth: you are in control of your own life.”

(Kylie Zemple – The Federalist)  Self-help author, self-described media mogul, and self-proclaimed Christian Rachel Hollis is in a bit of a PR mess this week after wading into some bad social media optics and then doubling down, but contrary to what the race-baiters and even Hollis herself think, racial insensitivity isn’t her biggest problem.

University That Hired Founder of the Discredited 1619 Project Suddenly Has Second Thoughts…

“Hannah-Jones’ major claim to fame, The 1619 Project, should arguably disqualify her from a teaching position. The project tried to flip American history on its head by arguing that America’s “true founding” came with the arrival of the first slaves in Virginia, not with the Declaration of Independence. Scholars immediately raised objections and the Times has issued a series of stealth corrections tacitly admitting that its project was based on a lie.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)   The University of North Carolina (UNC) has not offered tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones, the founder of The New York Times‘s discredited “1619 Project,” even though UNC’s Chapel Hill campus often extends tenure to professors who hold a Knight Chair professorship….

Is It Lights Out for the USA?

“At the Disney corporation, employees are required to listen to a number of anti-American presentations. The mouse factory has bought into white supremacy and Caucasian privilege in a big way.”

(Bill O’Reilly)  During the Vietnam days some radicals became heroes in the liberal press.  Let’s see, Jane Fonda, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Huey Newton – all became “far out” in the land of the groovy.  There was even a media name for the far-left movement: “radical chic.” Continue reading

Inside The Biden Administration’s Devious Plan To Purge Conservatives From The U.S. Military

“For those that are not familiar with Bishop Garrison, I would recommend reading an excellent piece that investigative reporter Darren Beattie recently published.  Garrison is the kind of leftist that literally sees “extremism” everywhere he looks.  In fact, if you are a Trump supporter he believes that you are an “extremist” and a threat to national security.”

(Michael Snyder – End of the American Dream)  If you are currently a member of the U.S. military and you would like to keep your job, you may want to delete all of your social media accounts…. Continue reading

Russell Moore Leaves the ERLC, Jumps Ship to Even More Progressive ‘Christianity Today’

“Christianity Today is the progressive rag known for giving a platform to every weird and liberally insidious bent. They came out swinging against the storming of Capitol Hill by laying the responsibility for the mayhem at the feet of the “white American church” and any leaders who voted for and supported President Trump.”

(Protestia)  Russell Moore, the head of the Ethics and Religious and Liberty Commission (ERLC) who recently took a personal hit when he was torched by the SBC’s Executive Committee for the way he runs his organization, summarized by the phrase, “The direction of the ERLC is a significant source of division and creates a very real challenge to reversing CP [Cooperative Program] decline,” has left the ERLC and joined forces with the paragon of liberal virtue, Christianity Today.

Biden Warns Unvaccinated: ‘You Will End Up Paying the Price’

“It could be that they’re scared of needles. Perhaps they think the side effects are worse than being reported, or that deaths from taking the vaccine aren’t being written about. Maybe they don’t want Bill Gates knowing everything about their lives. The reasons are unimportant. All that matters is that they have a choice and have made it.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media)  Joe Biden and other political leaders are doing everything they can to get the vaccine stragglers to do their patriotic, civic duty and get vaccinated against the coronavirus. Ohio has begun a million-dollar lottery to encourage people to take the vaccine. Other states are giving out free beer for getting jabbed or other enticements. Continue reading

Shawshank for January 6 Detainees

The treatment is so bad that the detainees have found advocates in two unlikely allies: Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Richard Durbin (D-Ill.). “Solitary confinement is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging,”  Warren told Politico last month. “And we’re talking about people who haven’t been convicted of anything yet.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness)  I’ve been in solitary confinement for a hundred days now and haven’t been convicted of any crime with no end in sight.” Continue reading

The New Evangelical False Gospel of Unity

“Jesus came not to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34). He did not come to tell everyone that they could believe what they want to believe, worship whatever idols they want to worship and seek whatever God they want to seek.”

There tends to be a great amount of resentment towards discerning believers who are quick to confront other Christians who are in sin or even false believers who are masquerading as Christians. The argument is that it distracts from the love of Jesus and unity among the brethren. Continue reading

Sexual Anarchy: The GOP Fiddles While Kids’ Souls Burn

“Desmond the drag kid”

“Consider: Why do groups deviating greatly from “traditional” morality — the “LGBTQ” crew, drug users, etc. — generally embrace “leftism”? Why does it appear, in fact, that there is here a direct relationship: The greater the degree of moral degradation, the stronger the support for Democrats?

(Selwyn Duke – The New American)  Have you heard the story about the engine and the caboose? The caboose doesn’t want to go where the engine is taking it, but the latter has all the energy and provides the movement. So the caboose sometimes is lighter and pulled more swiftly and sometimes is heavier and provides more resistance, but reaching the destination is a foregone conclusion — all that will vary is the arrival time.

Why Not Yoga?

“‘Namaste’ declares yoga’s quest for enlightenment and immortality through realization of inner divinity.”

“Through practicing and teaching yoga, I thought I was contributing to the overall positive well-being of myself and others. I was in pursuit of calm and peace and tranquility. This was the way, I thought.”

(Michal Russo) Most people in the world are familiar with, or have at least heard of, “yoga”. Whether it’s simply wearing yoga pants, or actually practicing and teaching, the notion is widespread and accepted as a pillar of wellness and spirituality. A practice that is often referred to as uniting the mind, body, and soul through asana (poses) and pranayama (breathing techniques) has evolved widely over the centuries. Beginning with ancient times and pre-classical yoga, all the way through modern day westernized schools of “yoga”. However, one thing remains the same, and that is: it’s all deeply rooted in connecting your spirit to other spirits. Continue reading

When an arrogant present dismisses the wisdom of the past, then an all too predictable future becomes terrifying

“Crime is soaring. Racial tensions are at an all-time high. Hate crimes of tribe against tribe spike. Racial demagogues predominate. Meritocracy vanishes. Tribal solidarity replaces it. And the ancient idea of America unwinds.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness)   Biden Mocks Ancient Wisdom – Human nature stays the same across time and space. That is why there used to be predictable political, economic, and social behavior that all countries understood.

The supply of money governs inflation. Print it without either greater productivity or more goods and services, and the currency cheapens. Yet America apparently rejects that primordial truism. Continue reading

Christian publishing houses are advancing the apostasy pandemic in the Church

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network)  Dr. David F. Wells lamented that he has watched “with growing disbelief as the evangelical church has cheerfully plunged into astounding theological illiteracy.” How can a believer in Jesus Christ plunge into biblical illiteracy?  In part, the blame can be laid squarely on Christian publishing houses for printing theological rubbish.

Enter your local Christian bookstore, gaze around the shop, and eventually you will spot a couple shelves of Bibles in many sizes and colors, leather, hard cover, in every conceivable translation. Publishers promise that their version is the most “accurate” “up-to-date” and “easiest to read.”

Fortunately for me, my mother chose my first Bible. She bought it as gift for my 18th birthday. It was the KJV, Old and New Testaments, vintage black leather with gold gilding. Over the years I made many notations on the pages of that Bible. Mom was thrilled that her rebellious second born of five requested a Bible and not a trendy outfit.

The two of us spent many hours together browsing the aisles of Christian bookstores. She’d always nudge me toward the Theology section that housed giant hard cover commentaries, concordances and Greek Lexicons. I’d hang out with Mom for a short time then I’d meander over to the Christian Living, Fiction, and invariably end up browsing the “Christian” Music racks. Back then I wasn’t interested in taking a deep dive into God’s Word, even though I cherished my Bible and read it often.

Eventually I came to understand that many Bible translations are decidedly unorthodox and unfit for Christian consumption. Be aware that the translation you choose will become engraved in your mind and whatever you learn from it will become your truth. The scriptures you memorize will remain with you for a lifetime. Tragically, unorthodox material can lead immature (baby) Christians into heretical teaching, the cults, even the occult. More on this in a moment. Continue reading

Beth Moore Demeans Godly Women As ‘Just Packing the Brothers’ Lunchkits’

“Beth Moore likes to build straw men so she can tear them down while she laughs and mocks faithful leaders and Christians in the Church and now, other women who choose obedience over rebellion.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Beth Moore has been on the attack against Scripture for a long time. Last year, Moore launched her tirade against the Word of God by attempting to pit Paul against Jesus implying that the two contradicted each other in the Bible. Now, she openly denies the objective interpretation of Scripture based on authorial intent which has been practiced by the Church as long as the Scriptures have been around. Continue reading

More Than 120 Retired Flag Officers Call On Americans To ‘Save America, Our Constitutional Republic, And Hold Those Currently In Office Accountable’

(Tristan Justice – The Federalist)  More than 120 retired flag officers are calling on Americans to rally and reject the nation’s excessive embrace of a radical leftist agenda, particularly the “antiracism” efforts the left weaponizes to suppress dissent.

“Our nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776,” wrote the prominent group of 124 retired generals and admirals. “The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.” Continue reading

Disney Unveils ‘Rainbow Collection’ for Kids to Celebrate Gay Pride

According to Dinesh D’Souza, “Disney has become woke, boring and evil. Here’s how we fight back against some of the nastiest people on earth.”  We posted D’Souza’s video below. But before you watch it, you’ll want to take a look at Disney’s latest effort to propagandize children, this time through a clothing line featuring beloved Disney characters.

==============

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  Walt Disney would be turning over in his grave if he knew how low his once-great company had sunk into the muck and mire of the world’s filth. Disney has apostatized so far from anything resembling family-friendly fun that it’s unrecognizable from its founding principles. Continue reading

The First ‘Transgender Bishop’ Shows How Churches Abandon Christianity

“The Bible does not teach that “transgender people are beautiful children of God,” but rather that all people can become children of God if they believe in Jesus Christ (John 1:12-13). Rohrer’s statement suggested that gender identity is essential to a person, even when stating the essential identity of a Christian — as a child of God.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  For decades, American mainline Protestant denominations have strived to remain culturally relevant, often at the expense of biblical Christian doctrine. Many churches in these denominations may remain faithful to the gospel, but the institutions accept a terrifying degree of heterodoxy among the clergy — as even pastors deny the bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Continue reading

Charismatics Issue ‘Prophetic Standards’ To Address False Trump Prophecies

The “prophetic standards” that should be issued by charismatic leaders such as Michael Brown is to forever mark and avoid those who utter false prophecies as per Romans 16:17-18. So called NAR prophets, who pretend to speak for God, have proven time and time again that they are not only false prophets, many of them are narcissistic money grubbing charlatans.  The Body of Christ is admonished to “take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”  Ephesians 5:11.

(Julia Duin)  After an embarrassing number of wrong prophecies and bungled predictions about the 2020 election, a group of charismatic Christian leaders have released a four-page statement of “prophetic standards” to help correct abuses in the movement. Continue reading

Man Beaten and Held at Gunpoint by BLM/Antifa Says Attacker Used ‘George Floyd Restraint’ on His Neck

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media)  The disabled U.S. Marine and Army veteran attacked and held at gunpoint by antifa and Black Lives Matter “protesters” on a Portland street last week says when they jumped him a heavy man put his knee on his neck ala George Floyd while hurling racial epithets at him.

And Joe Hall, who’s white, told me for the Adult in the Room Podcast that his PTSD kicked in and he feared for his life. Continue reading

Richard Dawkins blindsided by The Sexual Spaghetti Monster

“Just as he has done much of his adult life, Dawkins pulled the lever on some of the excesses of religious groups, this times the trans movement, especially its insistence that a man who calls himself a woman is actually a woman, and not a man after all. That’s the guts of it. Or the chromosome of it, as Dawkins might like to put it.”

(Stephen McAlpine)  How intriguing.

Richard Dawkins has just had his Humanist of the Year title withdrawn by the American Humanist Society, because of, well, because of his humanist zeal. Continue reading

The number of states, counties and cities declaring themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries is skyrocketing

“In the month of April alone, six states—Arizona, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and West Virginia—became so-called gun sanctuaries. But the specifics of the bills range widely, from political grandstanding, to having the potential to trigger a nasty constitutional showdown. At least seven more states, including Texas, have meanwhile introduced legislation proposing Second Amendment sanctuary protections. Four states—Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, and Wyoming—passed gun protection laws during the Obama administration.”

(Lee Williams – Canada Free Press) There are few stories the mainstream media enjoys more than “trend” stories. Whether it’s plant-based fake meat, live-streamed workouts, celebrity podcasts or Tic-Toc and other new apps, the media revels in reporting the latest trends that are sweeping the country – at least most of the time.
