The dirty wars behind Obamagate

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

“The media knew that the Obama administration helped to produce the humanitarian disasters in the Middle East. They ran a few stories about CIA arms shipments to terrorists in the region through countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but did not highlight the criminal nature of the policy. And when Flynn got into a position of power and was able to do something about exposing these dirty wars, he became the target. They used Russia as the pretext to go after him.”

(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America)  “Obamagate” is the name being given to Barack Hussein Obama’s role in the Michael Flynn case, in which Flynn was framed for wrongdoing then cleared by Trump’s Attorney General William Barr. But why was Flynn targeted? Continue reading →

Marching orders for the Green New Deal

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“Clearly the international forces see the COVID-19 pandemic as the starter’s gun to launch the final effort to put the anti-free enterprise, anti-private property, anti-freedom Green New Deal agenda over the finish line.”

(Tom DeWeese – Renew America) A couple of weeks ago, I was one of the very first to sound the alarm that the Green New Deal forces were planning to use the Coronavirus pandemic to ram through their radical totalitarian agenda.

Over the past two weeks I’ve watched that scheme grow around the world at an alarming rate. Continue reading →

We Were Created to Work and Worship, Not Isolate

“You can find alcohol, pornography, or marijuana, but can you find a prayer meeting? And what’s wrong with this picture? Abortion businesses have also stayed open – because in our “civilized” society, those in power determined it is essential to have access to murder your unwanted offspring. But the right to freely and peacefully assemble with those we love in the comfort of our churches is denied.”

(David Fiorazo)  It’s been well established that work and human interaction is vital to our overall health. But who saw this coming?… Continue reading →

Biblical infidelity in top evangelical institutions, leaders

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

“The Gospel — whether found in the Old Testament or New — is the only power we have. Even if some leaders walk away from it, we dare not follow them. Standing for Truth requires standing on Truth.”

(Frank Wright)  When serving as president of the National Religious Broadcasters, my greatest concern for Christian broadcasters was not the emerging climate of censorship or even abusive hate-crimes laws. I worried about timid, self–censorship among Christian leaders. Continue reading →

The Politicized Order Inviting Amicus Briefs against the Flynn Case’s Dismissal

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

“Lest we forget, the primary function of the federal judiciary is to protect the accused from overbearing government action, not to agitate for the prosecution of Americans. Even if he’s convinced Flynn is as guilty as the day is long, one might expect Judge Sullivan to be disturbed by the FBI’s perjury trap, by its editing of and misrepresentations about the “302 report” of Flynn’s interview.” 

(Andrew C. McCarthy – National Review)  Late Tuesday, federal district judge Emmet Sullivan issued a bizarre order, inviting third-party groups with no legal interests in the case to file amicus briefs addressing the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the false-statements charge against Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former national-security adviser.

The Peculiar World of Dr. Fauci

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“Absent a moral framework, the left operates on the medical modal. Dissenters are held to be afflicted with “homophobia,” “Islamophobia” and “xenophobia,” as Joe Biden charged Trump when he shut down travel from China on January 31. Two days before, Trump made Dr. Anthony Fauci part of his coronavirus task force. A federal bureaucrat for 36 years, Fauci came wrapped in the white coat of medical science but with no claim to infallibility.”

(Lloyd Billingsley – Frontpage Magazine)  “This will be one of the first opportunities for Dr. Fauci to tell the American people the unvarnished truth without the president lurking over his shoulder,” Sen. Charles Schumer said Monday…. Continue reading →

35 Key People Involved In The Russia Hoax Who Need To Be Investigated

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“So there’s a few people on the Democrats’ list who should be investigated, but not for the reasons Democrats say. Some should also be charged with crimes.”

(Willis L. Krumholz – The Federalist)  Funny how things change. The Washington Post couldn’t say a nice thing about congressional Republican efforts to investigate the Obama administration and FBI shenanigans that occurred before and after the 2016 election. That’s if they even covered these efforts at all. Continue reading →

‘How Can the Church Not Be Essential?’ Ask Calif. Pastors, Announce Intention to Resume In-Person Services May 31

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“Our church made 10,000 masks for doctors. We made gowns. We made all sorts of things when there was an enormous shortage. Our church came together to provide electronic devices for seniors who are isolated, who haven’t seen their family members in six weeks. … [The governor is] not concerned about that, but suddenly when we want to gather to pray or to worship, he [won’t allow it]. To me, that’s hypocritical,”

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  A coalition of churches in California have announced their intention to resume in-person services on May 31, regardless of whether the government expressly gives the green light or not, and with social distancing and other protective measures in place.

How can NBC not suspend Chuck Todd?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“There is no one with a functioning brain that thinks the decision to end Barr’s statement mid-thought was done without any knowledge of what he went on to say. To insult people’s intelligence like that betrays NBC has no intention of taking this seriously.”

(Peter Heck – Disrn) The power of selective video editing is real and profound. Whether simple maneuvers like eliminating the inclusion of surrounding context, or more complex manipulations involving cutting, splicing, and merging, the ability of media to create a false narrative or misrepresent reality has never been so formidable.

Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , ,

“An analysis of the timeline from early 2017 shows a clear pattern of behavior from the federal officials running the collusion operation against the Trump campaign. It also shows how essential media leaks were to their strategy to sideline key law enforcement and intelligence officials and cripple the ability of the incoming Trump administration to run the country.”

(Mollie Hemingway – The Federalist) Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House…. Continue reading →

‘Plandemic’ – What Happens When Conspiracy Theories Go Viral?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“The unfortunate fact is that there is little we can do in the short-term to fight such conspiracy theories. No single article, medical study, or meme exists which can reverse the foundational illogical reasoning which drives people to “know” that vaccines cause autism, that Jews control the world, or that 9/11 was an inside job. To truly believe in such conspiracy theories is to reject logic and reason, for which the only cure is logic and reason, leaving us with a paradoxical equation which is impossible to solve.” 

(Ian Hayworth – Townhall)  As the coronavirus pandemic has spread across the globe, we have been suffering through a factual drought. Unprecedented events like these force us into uncharted territory, tearing us away from the comfort of instantaneously accessible information…. Continue reading →

God calls us to wisdom, not conspiracy theories

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“Sharing these unfounded conspiracies as truth is not a morally neutral act in the same way that gossiping isn’t morally neutral. Gossip is sinful. What are conspiracy theories but gossip to the next degree? As Christians we should play no part in spreading gossip and lies, in ruining reputations without ensuring what we are sharing indeed is the truth.”

(Joseph Hamrick – Herald Banner) I have been reflecting on this verse in light of the sheer volume of conspiracy theories that have come across my Facebook newsfeed over the past few weeks. Continue reading →

Southern Baptists Abandoning Social Justice Heresy For Heresy of Dominionism

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , ,

“If the Southern Baptist Convention is anything, it isn’t coherent. And the denomination’s lack of any meaningful confession of faith and doctrinal standards leaves it open to being tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14) and never landing on anything to cohesively hold the denomination in place.”

(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte)  For the last several years, the social justice movement has swept the Southern Baptist Convention and it’s tentacles reach every possible corner of nearly every single church in the entire denomination leaving a stain of intersectionality, feminism, and even in some cases, LGBTQ activism.

Those who insist that the Lord demands what is not in scripture have fallen foul of gnosticism

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“If the fullness of God could dwell in human flesh, there can be nothing intrinsically evil about the flesh. In a wider sense, there is nothing intrinsically evil about material things because God is the one who created them for his creatures. And if God called his creation very good, and he created us to enjoy him forever in that very good creation, who are we to insist what the Lord has called good is something else altogether?”

The Gnosticism of Legalism by Stephen Kneale

When legalism rears its head, gnosticism is usually lurking around somewhere. There is a strong dualistic tendency that very often paints ‘spiritual’ things as good and ‘worldly’ things as bad…. Continue reading →

Will There Be Consequences for How the FBI Handled the Flynn Case? Barr Weighs In

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , ,

“As far as consequences for the agents and officials who engaged in corrupt and dishonest behavior in the Flynn case, Barr said he’s waiting for the results of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation. He also said misconduct by government officials must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.” 

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Attorney General Bill Barr is speaking out after the Department of Justice announced Thursday the criminal case against General Michael Flynn, which involved FBI agents engaging in entrapment, has been dropped. Continue reading →

Do Democrats Really Want to Celebrate the FBI’s Heinous Abuses Against Mike Flynn?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“National Review‘s Andrew C. McCarthy, a former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, explained, Powell’s evidence seemed to confirm not just that Flynn had been set up but that Mueller’s staff had threatened to target his son unless he confessed to the false statements charge.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  When the Department of Justice (DOJ) finally dropped the case against General Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser for President Donald Trump, House Democrats slammed the decision as a partisan attempt to “cover up” for Trump — presumably on Russia….

“In reality, safety is an illusion. Step out your front door and you risk your life. … In 2018, 647,457 Americans died of heart disease, 599,108 of cancer, 169,936 from accidents of all kinds (including roughly 40,000 highway fatalities), 55,672 from influenza and pneumonia and 47,173 from suicide.”

Coronavirus modeling – how our hysterical culture led to this reaction to pandemic

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“The combination of news media desperation for something about which to be hysterical, the Chinese Communist Party’s role in hiding and then lying about the new virus, and absurdly overstated claims of supposedly scientific modelers has led to the greatest self-inflicted economic disaster in history.”

(Newt Gingrich – Fox News)  Claire Berlinski writes an amazing blog called “Claire’s Invariably Interesting Thoughts.”

She recently wrote a series headlined “The Years of Living Hysterically: Reflections on Joe Biden, Tara Reade, #MeToo, and our Hysterical Culture.” Continue reading →

The Difference Between Justification and Sanctification

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion

28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. Romans 8:28-30 (NASB) 

12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 (NASB) Continue reading →

So when does the LGBT movement stop getting a pass for their blatant bigotry?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , ,

“The LGBT political movement is working very hard to expose the American people to their intolerance and narrow-minded prejudice against people of faith.”

(Peter Heck – Disrn)  As the entire country has marveled in recent days at the raging hypocrisy of political activists who attempted to destroy the life and reputation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over alleged sexual assault, now suddenly turning a blind eye to the alleged sexual assault circling the life and reputation of former Vice President Joe Biden, the speaker of the New York City Council Corey Johnson bellied up the microphone and, with a wink, boasted, “Hold my beer.” Continue reading →

How Heretics Shaped Alcoholics Anonymous

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

“People assume, logically enough, that if the co-founders were mentioning the Word of God, this must mean they were Christians. But the unsaved Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith viewed the Bible along the lines of Fox’s esoteric spiritual wisdom, rather than believing it to be the literal Word of God. One cannot, after all, promote anti-Biblical heresy and simultaneously believe and obey the Word of God.”

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire)  When it comes to A.A’.s alleged “Christian” roots, God’s people have been—to use a technical term—snookered. Continue reading →

If you like the pandemic lockdown, you’re going to love the ‘Green New Deal’

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

“The socialist greens acknowledge that the meltdown and shutdown we’re enduring (with gritted teeth) is what their climate agenda entails. They’re right.”

(Washington Examiner)  When socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first floated her “Green New Deal,” it was an intangible vision for society rather than a concrete policy proposal. Even after the New York Democrat and her acolytes added details (including a ban on airplanes and flatulent cows) in a voluminous range of policies costing an astounding $93 trillion, the idea of running the economy without fossil fuels seemed unthinkable.

A Wizard of Oz virus: The COVID-19 hoax

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , , ,

It would be nice to think that the malicious Machiavellians in media and politics will be held accountable for visiting one of American history’s greatest blunders upon us. But that appears just a dream. It’s lamentable, surely, and can make one understand why G.K. Chesterton once remarked, “It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged.”

(Selwyn Duke – Renew America)  When I speak of a hoax and The Virus, I don’t mean there isn’t in our population a pathogen identified as SARS-CoV-2 or, as the “unwoke” might say, the Wuhan Flu…. Continue reading →

The Worldwide Lockdown May Be the Greatest Mistake in History

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

“But the American left cares as much about the millions of non-Americans reduced to hunger and starvation because of the lockdown as it does about the people of upstate New York who have no incomes, despite the minuscule number of coronavirus deaths there. Or about the citizens of Oregon, whose governor has just announced the state will remain locked down until July 6. As of this writing, a total of 109 people have died of the coronavirus in Oregon.”  

(Dennis Prager – PJ Media)   The idea that the worldwide lockdown of virtually every country other than Sweden may have been an enormous mistake strikes many — including world leaders; most scientists, especially health officials, doctors and epidemiologists; those who work in major news media; opinion writers in those media; and the hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people who put their faith in these people — as so preposterous as to be immoral….
