The Death of Enchantment: Why Hollywood No Longer Holds Us

“Hollywood has forgotten that the audience is not a passive consumer but a participant. A story isn’t finished until it’s received — until the viewers buy into it, suspend their disbelief, and join the communion. But today’s studios no longer trust the viewer. They treat audiences as problems to be managed, as minds to be manipulated, as children to be lectured.”

(Jamie K Wilson – PJ Media) Every story is a spell. When you open a book, you’re entering that spell alone. You give the author your trust: Take me somewhere, carry me, don’t break the illusion. But when you walk into a theater, the spell is shared…. Continue reading

Chip and Joanna Gaines Continue to Mock God With Sexual Depravity

“This is not a neutral talent show that accidentally wandered into controversy. It is the deliberate normalization of what God calls dishonorable. And it is promoted to families under the borrowed halo of two public professing Christians whose empire was built on words like home, values, and faith. That is not an innocent mismatch. That is branding the holy name to sell Babylon’s wares.”

(The Dissenter) God hates sin, we already know that. But scripture says more. When a people harden themselves, the sharpest judgment is not a lightning bolt but God’s hand of restraint removed. “God gave them up… God gave them over” (Romans 1). Continue reading

Disney finally admits the truth: They need REAL men to survive…

This piece is an important read. We advise you to scroll down passed the Snoop Dog stuff.

“Disney forgot a huge chunk of its audience. It forgot men. It took the people who helped build the brand, young boys who grew into loyal fans, and told them they weren’t welcome anymore. And now, the fallout is impossible to ignore.” 

(Revolver) Disney has finally been smacked in the face with a reality shovel, and it’s gonna leave a mark. After years of shoving woke “girl boss” nonsense down everyone’s collective throats, the Mouse House is bleeding money and credibility like a raging river. The numbers don’t lie. Their Snow White disaster cost over $400 million to produce and market but barely scraped $143 million at the box office, putting them in the hole by well over $100 million. But the flops don’t stop there…. Continue reading

The Downfall of Corporate Media

(Bill O’Reilly – No Spin News) The corporate media has fallen apart. And Donald Trump is responsible. No matter what happens to the President from now on, he alone destroyed the corporate left-wing media in America.  One man, Donald Trump.

This has never been done before, never even been close.  And he didn’t do it by active actions. He did it because they hate him so much; they overdid it. And the American people, even those who don’t like Trump, go, look, we know what the game is.

So let me run it down for you…. Continue reading

Cracker Barrel Removes the Barrel and the Cracker

“Getting rid of Uncle Herschel and all his garage tools is every bit as woke because the company CEO and other corporate players are so clearly invested in DEI, and an old white guy on the sign just won’t do.”

(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) Add the Cracker Barrel guy to the list of brand icons who’ve been kicked to the curb by some woke marketing genius at a big company. At least this time, the wokies are getting rid of an old white guy instead of a black man, a black woman, and a Native American.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion, baby! Continue reading

Are We Following The Roman Empire’s Path of Decline? Part 1: The Death of True Art

“God defines what is beautiful. Beauty comes from the Lord, as Genesis 1:31 says, “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.” When God created the earth and the entire universe in six days, He declared that everything was just as it was supposed to be. King David describes the beauty of God’s creation; “The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above his handiwork” (Psalm 19:1).”

(Seth Brickley – TruthScript) Edward Gibbon was a British Essayist and Historian who lived from 1737 to 1794. He wrote the book “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.” The Roman Empire was arguably the greatest empire of the ancient world. Its dominance lasted longer than the Babylonian, Persian, and Greco-Macedonian empires that came before it. After defeating Carthage in the Punic Wars, what followed was a period of great peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana…. Continue reading

We Elect Psychopaths — And Then Act Surprised When They Act Like Psychopaths

(Maureen Steele – PJ Media) The next time a senator gets caught insider trading, or a presidential candidate says something breathtakingly narcissistic, or a governor smiles while bankrupting your business “for your safety,” try to resist the urge to clutch your pearls. Take a breath. Because the truth is, you voted for this. Maybe not them specifically, but the type. You voted for a psychopath — or someone in the neighborhood — and you’ll probably do it again.

Now, I’m not talking about a knife-wielding, serial-killing, Ted Bundy psychopath (although he was charming). I’m talking about the high-functioning, camera-ready, preternaturally confident variety — the kind of person who can ruin lives with a pen stroke and still sleep like a baby…. Continue reading

John 1:1 and the Holy Trinity

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God , and God was the Word. John 1:1 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

Carefully examine the four Greek examples I placed at the top of this post [on the site]. The first one is from the Textus Receptus, which is the Greek behind the KJV. The next two are from the middle of the 19th century with Tichendorf’s New Testament predating Wescott and Hort’s by about 9 years or so…. Continue reading

DOJ Bombshell Shows That Biden Admin Ignored Critical Red Flags About Autopenned Pardons

“Weinsheimer specifically cautioned that the blanket wording could make some of the commutations ineffective, or worse, extend clemency to violent crimes that weren’t supposed to fall under Biden’s stated standards. The White House…ignored victims’ families who pleaded against releasing certain offenders. Instead, they shoved through three massive autopen-signed warrants covering thousands of cases without so much as a second thought.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Joe Biden autopen scandal just got a whole lot worse.

For months, we’ve known that his team used the autopen to rubber-stamp thousands of pardons and commutations in the final days of his presidency…. Continue reading

The Cult of Self-Destruction

“…they call us the dangerous ones. They call anyone who dares to live in basic alignment with God’s order—male and female, marriage, family, work, worship—a fascist. It would almost be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic. The insanity of our age is not subtle—it’s screaming, shrieking, screeching in our faces with a nose ring dangling like a cow’s bell.”

(The Dissenter) Here we are in 2025, watching an entire generation mutilate itself while screaming that we’re the fascists. They pierce, ink, carve, and scar their bodies in the name of “freedom,” yet they march under the banner of rage, demanding that anyone who still looks and lives like a normal human being must be silenced. And, of course, all they’re straight, white, conservative, male enemies are…fascists. The irony is so thick it’s almost Scripture-worthy satire. Continue reading

These Days, ‘Christian Nationalist’ Means Nothing More Than Faithful and Conservative

“The Apostle Paul compares the spiritual aspects of our lives to a warrior’s armor in Ephesians 6:10-18. Our worship — along with the rest of our spiritual disciplines — is spiritual warfare. But leftists don’t get nuance.”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) The left loves to slap faithful conservatives with the canard of “Christian nationalism.” The strict definition of “Christian nationalism” is a complete takeover of the government with Christians governing every aspect of society. It’s not a feasible prospect because the theological and denominational variety among Christians would make policy decisions difficult to implement. Continue reading

Alistair Begg Plays Victim On Gay Wedding Compromise

“Begg concludes by framing the issue as compassion. In the Bible, none of the instances where Jesus shows compassion does he even come close to endorsing sin.” 

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last year, Evangelical Dark Web broke the story of Alistair Begg giving sinful advice to a grandmother to attend a gay wedding and bring a gift. This story instantly blew up and led to Begg getting canceled from [the Shepherd’s Conference, a major Reformed evangelical pastors’ gathering led by California pastor and author John MacArthur] a radio ministry [American Family Radio] and losing much of his credibility. Continue reading

‘Shepherds for Sale’ Author Megan Basham Gives Wonderful Update Following Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis

(Protestia) Six months after NYT bestselling author and cultural commentator Megan Basham announced on X that she had been diagnosed with ‘stage three, advanced colorectal cancer,’ she shared the welcome news that, following months of grueling treatment, “my scans came back all clear-no evidence of cancer.”

Basham, known for her reporting at The Daily Wire and her book ‘Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda,’ shared that she was diagnosed with cancer shortly after Thanksgiving in 2024. Continue reading

Bill Barr Takes a Sledgehammer to the Democrats’ Trump-Epstein Narrative

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) For years, Democrats have been desperate to turn Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes into a political weapon against Donald Trump. They’ve tried to weave the two men together into some elaborate scandal, hoping it would be the silver bullet that finally takes Trump down.

And yet, like so many other “bombshells” before it, the narrative has collapsed under the weight of reality.

As has been proven repeatedly, there’s no connection. Trump’s hands are clean, and now, sworn testimony from someone positioned to know for certain has blown apart this left-wing fantasy. Continue reading

Guilt Is A Gift?

(Joshua Parcha – TruthScript) I have observed several pastors claim that “guilt is a gift.” The argument goes something like this: Guilt is a gift because it tells us that we have done something wrong, that we need to stop, and that we need to ask for forgiveness and repent. One pastor put it this way: “Guilt is a gift because it allows us the chance to correct something before it becomes something bigger, something worse.” Another pastor, in a video titled “Guilt is a Gift,” stated: “Conscience is God’s cop that follows you night and day… The thundering voice of our conscience is going to scream: You did wrong. You did wrong. You did wrong.” Continue reading

Trump: ‘Trying to Get to Heaven, Hearing I’m Not Doing Well’

“Obama gave it away. They took the most valuable piece surrounded on four sides by ocean, a beautiful piece of property. Why the heck did he do that to them? In one of the dumbest real estate deals I’ve ever seen.”

(Eric Max – Newsmax) As he tries to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump said it is for greater reasons than merely Nobel Peace Prize nominations: He is hoping it helps him “get to heaven.”

“If I can save 7,000 people per week from being killed – I want to get to heaven, if possible; I’m hearing I’m not doing well,” Trump said in a televised phone interview Tuesday morning. “If I can get to heaven, this will be a reason.” Continue reading

The Russia Hoax Is About to Blow Up, Schiff and Biden’s DOJ Are Next

Martin drew a stark picture of Biden’s Justice Department targeting everyday Americans. “Joe Biden’s Justice Department actively targeted American citizens, Catholics who went to Mass, parents who went to school boards. Carter Page was destroyed by the Russia hoax, and we’re sitting around and pretending it’s okay.” 

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Ed Martin, the director of the Department of Justice Weaponization Working Group, joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” for an explosive interview about ongoing investigations into government abuse of power…. Continue reading

Dancing With the Devil

“I hope there is a second summit meeting.  But before that happens, evil Vlad must understand what awaits him if he continues destroying a country for nothing but personal vanity.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Here’s the most important thing to know about Trump/Putin in Alaska.  The evil dictator wants to continue killing people because he likes it.  Conversely, Donald Trump would like to save lives.

The President literally rolled out the red carpet for evil Putin, showing him respect he doesn’t deserve.  But sometimes flattery can lead to positive outcomes.

Not this time. Continue reading

The Legacy Media Won’t Touch These Explosive mRNA Vaccine Study Findings

“Shocked? You shouldn’t be. The same experts who demanded we blindly trust mRNA technology were also the ones insisting it made sense to vaccinate children against COVID—a claim that never held water.” 

Earlier this month, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. canceled nearly $500 million worth of grants and contracts tied to mRNA vaccine development, and announced the creation of a vaccine safety task force—an effort to address decades of alleged violations of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.  The legacy media immediately went on the offensive, slamming the move…. Continue reading

What We Know So Far About the Trump-Putin Concessions

“Putin said if Donald Trump was President at the time of the invasion, there would have been no war, no invasion. While media says it’s Kremlin propaganda, it is likely true. Democrats put a dementia patient in the presidency who allowed it to happen.”

(Mary Dowling) President Trump, who works very hard for this country, believes a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is in the works but with an important sticking point which he didn’t name. We can guess it’s over land. Continue reading

The Church’s Open Border Crisis

We have sleeper agents in the Church, and I don’t mean tin-foil hat conspiracy theories. I’m talking about Tim Keller’s proteges who’ll preach justification by faith on Sunday and “find common ground” with Catholic cardinals on Monday. I’m talking about The Gospel Coalition’s endless parade of unity-at-all-costs articles, where defending the Reformation is treated like an optional elective for cranky old white guys.”

(The Dissenter) I’ve always said a nation without borders isn’t a nation, it’s a yard sale. Anyone can stroll in, grab what they want, and stroll back out. Hang all the flags you want, blast the national anthem on repeat, but if the gates are open and there’s no one at the checkpoint, it’s not your country anymore—it’s a tourist destination for opportunists. Continue reading

Humility, The Mark of a Genuine Disciple

17 Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the Spirit, 19 Speaking unto yourselves in Psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God even the Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:17-21 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

Arrogance, boasting, retaliation, and self-protection are just a few of the fruits of Human pride. The natural mind exalts pride while demeaning humility. Timidity is often confused with humility. Timidity is actually a fruit of pride and is a form of fear…. Continue reading

The Modern Day Pharisee

(John Goodell – TruthScript) When we read our Bibles as Christians, we are often looking for what God wants us to believe, commands to guide our lives, and examples to follow. As we read, we should also be learning what not to be like. The Pharisees were a group of people that Jesus was the hardest on, and so we want to learn from them what not to be like. In fact, Jesus exhorted His disciples in Matthew 23:3 to not do “the works they do, for they preach but do not practice.” Jesus’ instruction here reveals to us his main concern with the Pharisees—hypocrisy.

In politics in the late 80s, the term “race card” was born. It was used to weaponize people against their political foes to discredit them…. Continue reading

New Age Doctor Shamans

By Marcia Montenegro, Christian Answers for the New Age

This is an updated post on some New Age doctors that CANA has warned about in the past (see the many resources listed at the end). What I and others have observed over the years is that health care has become infected with New Age and occult practices that initially were seen as alien but have now mainstreamed. Some practices are outright energy healing, like Reiki, while others are based on belief in these energies but appear more conventional. Shamanism has come to the health field, both in the culture and in the church, and the doctors examined here are part of that influence.

The Doctors

One of these doctors is Dr. Mehmet Oz who admits he is a follower of Emmanuel Swedenborg, grandfather of the New Thought movement, which was foundational to the New Age as well as propping up much of the pseudo-scientific healing practices today.

Another doctor is Dr. Daniel Amen who promotes and teaches an esoteric Hindu mediation technique and what is known in Hinduism as tantric sex.

A third doctor is Mark Hyman who works with Deepak Chopra and embraced a form of non-medicine called Functional Medicine based on spiritual beliefs and pseudo-science.

There is also Dr. Mercola, promoter of New Age practices and his own supplements, follower of conspiracy theories, and slavish fan of a spirit that comes via a psychic-channeler.

The last one is Dr. Andrew Weil, a New Age enthusiast of psychotropic plants.

These doctors are New Agers or embrace and promote New Age concepts. There are many more, not to mention the non-medical practitioners such as chiropractors, the naturopaths, and “natural healers” who are rooted in New Age thinking. Continue reading

The Era of ‘Defining Deviancy Down’ Is Over

“Media coverage of Trump’s National Guard call-out has all but ignored these incidents; they have become an unremarkable part of America’s urban fabric that now includes flash mobs, vicious and gratuitous pedestrian assaults, and mass looting.” 

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York was a radical liberal with an independent streak.

Before being elected senator in 1976 (he also served as UN ambassador), Moynihan worked as a special assistant to Labor Secretaries Arthur J. Goldberg and W. Willard Wirtz in 1961-62, where he wrote a revolutionary report on federal architecture. Continue reading
