If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 25 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16:24-25 (LSB) 

The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is a message given to be passed on as “Good News” of the completed work of Christ on behalf of those he came to save. The message is about his incarnation, his perfect life, his death on the cross, his three days and nights in the tomb, and his resurrection…. Continue reading

President Trump Declares Failure of Movie Industry a National Security Threat

(Mary Dowling) President Trump said the US movie industry is dying quickly because incentives are drawing filmmakers and studios away from the US. He’s planning a 100% tariff on movies imported to the US that are produced in foreign lands.

The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. Continue reading

Money Killed the Press

“But worst of all, television news has devolved into a daily cauldron of propaganda. Dishonest statements go unchallenged, phony narratives are peddled as fact. Somewhere in a very hot place, Joseph Goebbels is delighted.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Former ABC News guy Ted Koppel is not a fan of mine.  Years ago, appearing on the Factor, he blamed me for corrupting TV news standards because I developed an analysis program in prime time that changed the tempo of news presentations.

Koppel is correct that I did that but fails to understand why it was necessary and a very positive thing…. Continue reading

Did President Trump just pass the MAGA torch during this NBC interview?

Watch the video clips.

(Revolver) In a powerful NBC interview, President Trump cleared all the rumors: he’s not running in 2028. He squashed the chatter, silenced all the speculation, and many believe that he just passed the torch, not just to a new generation of leaders, but to the future of the America First movement itself.

Trump lit the MAGA flame back in 2015. He gave a voice to the forgotten men and women, torched the globalist platform, and totally redefined what Republican leadership looks like. But Trump knows this movement is bigger than one man. It has to be, or we’re doomed. And if it’s going to survive and keep winning, it needs strong, serious fighters to carry the torch forward. Continue reading

The Manly and Masculine Christ

“The reason that millions of young men are resonating with the sorts of things that people like Jordan Peterson are saying is that they are crying out to once again hear that it is OK to be male, to be a man, to be manly, and to be masculine. They want to be who they were meant to be.”

(Bill Muehlenberg – Culture Watch) It is time to get back to the biblical Jesus:

Throughout much of the West, we have forgotten what it is to be a man. Or worse yet, we have demonised men and manliness. We have condemned men and masculinity. This is proving to be a recipe for disaster. And the Christian church should have no part in this. We need to get back to the Bible. Continue reading

“The most political church in town…”

“Sadly far too many megachurch and megachurch-adjacent pastors, whether they be connected with the Andy Stanley-style attractional movement, TGC, Acts29, or many other organizations, are cowards. That’s not to say all of them. But far too many. And according to Revelation 21, cowardice is a damnable sin.”

(Steven Whitlow – Clear Truth Media) A few weeks ago I attended a pro-life breakfast with around six hundred fellow Northwest Ohio pro-life advocates. Most were expecting to hear Vivek Ramaswamy show his bonafides as an ally in the fight for life, but he excused himself from the event 24 hours before it began. Continue reading

Loomer drops juicy bombshell on activist judge who’s targeting Trump’s agenda…

“Under federal judicial guidelines, judges are supposed to recuse themselves if their impartiality could reasonably be questioned or if their spouse has a financial interest tied to the case. In Judge Thurston’s situation, actually both rules apply.”

(Revolver) If you thought lawfare was just about courtroom theatrics and endless sham indictments, think again. The Left has turned activist judges into one of their deadliest weapons, all part of their coordinated, scorched-earth mission to stop President Trump from doing what he was elected to do: reverse Joe Biden’s radical, failed agenda and Make America Great Again. Continue reading

The Modern Corruption of Separating Church from State

“In his famous ‘Farewell Address,’ Washington reminded Americans that religious teachings and values must never be removed from politics and public policy…

The highest court in the land committed a shocking error in how it interpreted the First Amendment, for it abandoned completely the Founders’ expressed belief that the biblical faiths were essential to America’s existence.”

(Susan Quinn – American Thinker) From the outset of forming our country, our Founders were determined to keep religion as a foundational element, given that many people had left their homes in Britain to be able to practice their religions as they chose. The goal was not for the government to reject faith, but for it to be prevented from dictating doctrine. Continue reading

Bombshell Body Cam Footage Destroys Everything Democrats Said About Abrego Garcia

“Ordinarily, when someone’s behind the wheel of a car crammed with illegal migrants, carrying a wad of cash, and driving on a bogus license, that should set off every alarm bell. But under Biden’s ICE, that wasn’t enough to warrant action. They never even bothered to pick him up. He was promptly back on the street.”

(PJ Media) The left’s latest manufactured martyr just got exposed as exactly what conservatives suspected he is all along. Newly released body cam footage shows Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant whom Democrats have been desperately trying to paint as just an innocent “Maryland dad,” was stopped in 2022 under suspicion of human trafficking. Continue reading

How Long Does God’s Anger Last?

(Paul Schlehlein – Between Two Cultures) Answer: God’s anger upon his children is temporary, while His wrath up His enemies will carry on forever.

Problem: Some passages say God’s anger lasts but for a moment, while other Scriptures teach God’s wrath is eternal.

Explanation: The nature, intensity, and extent of God’s wrath differs depending on which of His two audiences He is addressing. In the first case, God limits His anger towards His children, whom He loves. Psalm 30:5 illustrates this: “For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” Continue reading

Schools hiding gender transitions from parents harms kids, transgender psychologist tells judges

Trump introduced January Littlejohn at congressional address, called school district’s treatment of her daughter “child abuse.” Full appeals court called upon to fix panel’s Frankenstein ruling on behavior that “shocks the conscience.”

(Greg Piper – Just the News) Does it “shock the conscience” for a Florida school district to withhold a 13-year-old’s gender transition from her parents and treat her as a boy even after her parents object?

A divided panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals set off alarm bells in March by ruling the state’s Leon County School Board’s behavior was not shocking under a 1998 Supreme Court precedent that limited accountability for official misconduct that causes serious harm – in that case, police and high-speech chases that kill fleeing suspects. Continue reading

Judge Orders Suspect Behind Firebombing of Missouri Tesla Released from Federal Custody

(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) A federal judge ordered that the suspect behind the firebombing of a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri, be released from federal custody ahead of his upcoming court date.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jessica Hedges agreed that Owen McIntire, 19, a student at the University of Massachusetts Boston, should be released after McIntire’s lawyers “argued” he be released, noting that “he has no criminal record” and that he has “strong ties to his community in Missouri,” according to KMBC News. Continue reading

Mass Immigration Without Assimilation Is A Recipe For National Suicide

“Tolerating this kind of foreign sectarianism is national suicide, as anyone can easily observe in Scotland and England, which are now on a probably irreversible trajectory toward civil war. We in America should pay attention because the same thing is happening here, albeit on a smaller scale.”

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) If you want to know what mass immigration without assimilation produces in a country, look no further than Scotland. Immigrants from Pakistan now constitute an ethno-religious voting bloc in that country with their very own politicians advocating for nakedly sectarian interests. Continue reading

Trump Put About 100 Months’ Worth of Work Into His First 100 Days

“So much of what Trump is trying to do for the betterment of the country is being slowed down by judicial hissy fits that are being thrown by corrupt perverters of the law. There isn’t a murderer or rapist they won’t defend if it can trip up the Trump 47 agenda.” 

President Trump has been working at such a furious pace since he was inaugurated for his second term that I think this is the most unique 100-day mark of any presidency in my adult lifetime. At times it feels as if it was a 100 days months ago, and at others it seems that he was just sworn in again last month.

It’s been a political whirlwind like no other in my experience. Continue reading

Elder Team Rejects Sexual Abuse Findings Against Michael Brown, Recommends Return to Ministry

Firefly’s report listed several instances when ministry leaders tried to confront Brown, but he didn’t give consistent and full confessions. Firefly reported Brown showed a “calculated effort to evade accountability, suppress the allegations, and protect his ministry’s reputation.”

(Rebecca Hopkins – The Roys Report – a site CRN does not recommend) An accountability team of elders has cleared apologist Michael Brown for ministry, after they publicly rejected a recent third-party investigation conclusion that he engaged in “sexually abusive misconduct.”

These findings came after Brown’s Line of Fire board commissioned Jim Holler of Firefly, a third-party investigator, in January to investigate reports of alleged sexual misconduct by Brown…. Continue reading

What will Jesus say to Pope Francis on judgment day?

(Jordan Standridge – The Cripplegate) Pope Francis is dead.

He died by a suspected cerebral stroke Monday morning April 21, 2025. One day after Easter. World leaders are coming to Rome in the next few days for the Pope’s funeral. Everyone already seems to have pronounced their opinion on the matter. Some people on Facebook condemned those who pronounced their negative opinions about the Pope, while others, the vast majority, had very nice things to say about the man who accepted the position of “Vicar of Christ” sixteen years ago.

What are we believers supposed to think when a pope dies? Continue reading

Mirror, Mirror on the Church Wall: Paganism in the Pews

“What can Christ’s congregations do to ameliorate this situation?  How can the pockets of paganism be purged?  First, the church’s leaders must recognize that a problem exists.  Second, they must recognize embedded paganism cannot be remedied by a retreat, conference, rebrand, or other quick fix.  Rather, leaders must implement strategies and tactics that supplant paganism with the beauty of orthodoxy.  Here are some ways of doing so.”

(Jeffery J. Ventrella – truthxchange) Truthxchange exists to (1) Inform the Public; (2) Equip the Church; and (3) Protect the Next Generation.   Sometimes accomplishing No. 2 requires taking a candid inventory – warts and all – of what Christians, particularly evangelicals, actually believe, as opposed to what their paper statements of faith profess to affirm.  We must look in the mirror honestly if we are serious about addressing and redressing the pressing paganism which threatens the Gospel. Continue reading

This list of chilling facts about Butler assassination attempt must spark a real investigation…

If you watch the Rogan/Musk video be prepared for salty language. 

(Revolver) The attempts on President Trump’s life were one of the most disturbing and suspicious events in modern political history, especially the one in Butler, Pa. And yet, barely anyone in the media seems interested in asking real questions. They’re not the least bit curious about what happened, and it’s starting to feel like they want us to forget it ever happened.

But that’s not going to happen… Continue reading

Will the Roman Catholic Church continue its policy of ignoring jihad and appeasing Muslims?

“Will the new pope follow Pope Francis in these positions that lead to civilizational suicide, or chart a new path?” 

(Robert Spencer – FrontPage Mag) The late Pope Francis had a long record of whitewashing Islamic jihad violence and making moral equivalence arguments in order to downplay jihad terror. Back in 2017, Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, noticed the pope’s yeoman service for the Islamic cause and thanked him for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.” Continue reading

Thanks To DEI, Most Medical Schools Now Teach Doctors To Damage Patients

“I fear we are approaching an environment — if we’re not already there — where malpractice masquerades as virtuous health care. Picture a physician so bound by ideology he cannot explore the roots of gender dysphoria, instead pushing a child toward irreversible surgery to affirm gender; too fearful of being labeled “fatphobic” to warn an obese patient about heart failure; or so steeped in anti-racist dogma that a critically ill white male is deprioritized to favor a less urgent case for a black female patient.”

(Jared Gould – The Federalist) Speech First has uncovered records from more than 50 public medical schools across 46 states, revealing that these institutions are training left-wing advocates who prioritize race in treatment, promote gender identities contrary to biology, and downplay obesity’s health risks…. Continue reading

So it’s true: DEI seems to have gotten 67 people killed over the Potomac

“The @nytimes story on the January DC plane crash hides its takeaway until the last sentences: the lady helicopter pilot ignored multiple warnings from her right seat about altitude (and his directly telling her to turn away) and flew straight into a passenger jet. The end. Ugh.” – Alex Berenson 

(Monica Showalter – American Thinker) Did DEI have something to do with the inexplicable plane-helicopter collision over the Potomac last January, killing 67* people?

It looks like it based on a long, detailed, Page One report from the New York Times.

Anti-Trinitarian Heretic, TD Jakes is Stepping Down

“Even the greatest charlatans don’t work alone. Steven Furtick was the adoring apprentice, the eager mimic, the dollar-store knockoff of Jakes’ ministry of self. Together, they didn’t so much shepherd the flock as they fleeced it, turning churches into circuses where the name of Jesus was a marketing slogan and the offering plate the main attraction.”

(The Dissenter) At long last, the velvet-tongued emperor of Christian celebrity culture, Bishop T.D. Jakes, has announced his exit from the pulpit of The Potter’s House—the crumbling empire he built atop the rotting carcass of the Word of Faith movement and anti-Trinitarian heresy. Continue reading

Here’s the True Story on Arresting the Judge Who Harbored an Illegal Alien

Must watch video.

(Mary Dowling) The mainstream media has been slow in reporting the facts about the judge’s arrest in Milwaukee. Democrats are using the arrest as an opportunity to smear the administration.

According to Homeland Security, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, the illegal alien that the Wisconsin judge was shielding, has a violent criminal record with charges including strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse. He illegally entered the U.S. twice. Continue reading
