(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media) Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana are on a mission to detail the scope and depth of how the Biden administration is using Big Tech companies like Facebook/Meta to curb the free-speech rights of Americans. On the heels of shocking comments by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the FBI’s role in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story, initial e-mails related to a lawsuit filed by Schmitt and Landry show even more evidence that the Biden administration is using Big Tech to do what it is not, allowed to do according to the Constitution.

Bed Bath & Beyond Goes Broke: Retailer to Shutter Stores, Cut Staff After Cancelling MyPillow Last Year
“They wanted us to believe that the timing — when Lindell was defending Trump after the Capitol protests and questionable election results — was merely coincidental and not related to the decision to cancel Lindell’s successful product line. Got it.”
(Ryan Ledendecker – PJ Media) Go woke, go broke” is the slogan that keeps on giving. The latest installment of woke, politically active retailers now facing financial ruin in the form of shuttering stores and mass layoffs is none other than conservative-hating Bed Bath & Beyond. Continue reading
Checkbooks, Bank Cards and Bank Statements Reveal Pastor Priorities: Pastor James MacDonald and the Ethics of Gift Giving
“It has been said, ‘Show me a person’s checkbook and I can tell you what he cares about.’” – Social Action, 1964
(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) James MacDonald, the controversial former pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel (HBC), is attempting to restore his reputation. In July, MacDonald posted on his website copies of checks as proof that he reimbursed (HBC) for personal expenses incurred during his time as pastor. One reimbursement check, dated December 28, 2018, was for $27,172.39! Continue reading
How Matt Chandler’s Elders Violated Scripture
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The announcement that Matt Chandler would be taking a leave of absence following allegedly inappropriate DMs came with little information opening the door to much speculation as to whether or not The Village Church is covering up a deep sin or whether Matt Chandler even sinned at all. However, what is far more clear is that the elders at Village Church were derelict in their duty, and that is while we still do not know whether they are covering up sin or adding to the law of God. And while this is to be mildly expected from a church helmed by a wolf, the precedent that this is expanding upon is quite detrimental to the church. Continue reading
Be on guard and watch yourself
11 And do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. 12 The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. Romans 13:11-14 (LSB)
Genuine Christians are marked in this life by a spiritual journey that God uses to sanctify them. Sanctification is the process whereby God removes Christians from the pollution of the world and conforms them unto His holiness. I have had some emergents and neo-evangelicals attempt to deny this as true for all Christians…. Continue reading
Biden blasted for mocking ‘brave’ Second Amendment defenders: ‘You need an F-15’ to fight America, not a gun
(Lindsay Kornick – Fox News) President Biden took another swipe at supporters of the Second Amendment during his speech in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
Biden appeared in the battleground state to tout his latest “Safer America” agenda to promote efforts to support law enforcement and deter crime. Although his speech was primarily focused on his policies, Biden later turned his attention towards his political opponents, attacking Republicans for opposing actions on gun control. Continue reading
Trump Says the Same FBI Agent ‘Escorted Out’ Friday for Hiding Hunter Biden’s Laptop Was Involved in Mar-a-Lago Raid
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) The Washington, D.C.-based FBI assistant special agent accused by a whistleblower of being the man who scuttled the Hunter Biden laptop investigation and who allegedly hid evidence favoring former President Trump, appears to be out of a job. It’s a start. And from what former President Trump is declaring on his Truth Social account, Assistant Special Agent Tim Thibault also had a hand in the Mar-a-Lago raid. Continue reading
Rick Warren Delivers Final Sermon As Pastor of Saddleback Church
“Well as you know, today is my last message to you as your senior pastor for 43 years,” he said. “It’s been my privilege to love you, pray for you, serve you, encourage you, stand by you…” These words, however, ring hollow as a church that boasts nearly 24 thousand members, it’s unlikely that more than a tiny fraction has ever spoken a word face to face with the man they call their shepherd. — The Dissenter
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) On Sunday, Rick Warren would preach his last sermon as senior pastor of Saddleback Church, concluding an era of church growth pragmatism. Earlier this year, it was announced that Andy Wood would take Warren’s place. The rather tumultuous transition process including multiple allegations against Wood and criticism over him interviewing Mark Driscoll is finally over. Continue reading
Revoice Leader and SBC Seminary Grad Calls on Christians to Repent for Signing Statement on Biblical Sexual Ethics
Professing Christian Nate Collins is an interesting fellow. He once described himself as a “gay man in a mixed-orientation marriage” and bragged that he enjoys “gay art.” Collins did his dissertation on “Gender Identities” at conservative Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and argued that “virgin” is a secondary gender identity in the scriptures. The president of SBTS is none other than highly regarded evangelical leader Dr. Albert Mohler.
With this background in mind, here’s The Dissenter’s piece: Continue reading
Antifa Packing AR-15s Guards ‘Family Friendly’ Texas Drag Show
(Eric Mack- Newsmax) Armed antifa members guarded a drag show targeting families in deep-red Texas, raising eyebrows in a conservative district and among conservatives on social media.
“A ‘kid-friendly’ drag show in Texas was guarded by masked ANTIFA guards armed with AR-15s,” Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., tweeted Monday. “Remember, they only want YOUR guns. They want to use theirs to protect their depravity.” Continue reading
For Those Looking to Reset Their Bodies After Vaccinations
“The media refused to cover the hacking story as the globalist elites were caught with their pants down. For them to deny the website’s contents would draw more attention to the hackers, their website, and vaccine-related injuries and deaths.”
(Mark Schwendau) My recent article, “‘Unknown Cause’ is the Top Cause of Death in Canada!” received the most reads of any article I have yet to write in my hobby of conservative news writing, and I was most humbled. It also made me profoundly sad. Continue reading
Reminder, It’s Actually Matt Chandler’s Wokeness That’s Disqualifying. Here are Some Examples
(The Dissenter) If you haven’t seen Matt Chandler’s video yet of him announcing he would be stepping down after he was caught “inappropriately” text messaging another woman who isn’t his wife, you can check that out here. Since his announcement yesterday, there’s been a lack of patience in waiting for the full truth to come out before making judgments. In that, I would like to encourage you—it’s possible that this is actually a big nothing burger and the him stepping down in light of it is an overreaction. We really just don’t know what actually happened, and they really didn’t reveal that much. Continue reading
World Vision Goes Woke, Says All White Christians are ‘Racist’ who have ‘White Gaze’
(Protestia) Last year World Vision created an online course designed to equip churches and pastors to understand “racial justice.” In reality, it was a hotbed of Critical Race Theory and unbiblical syncretism, infecting the organization and resulting in the wokefication of World Vision and a denial of some core tenets of the Christian Faith. These articles expose the extent that CRT and pagan syncretism – the fusion of different systems of religious beliefs with Christianity – has compromised the mission of the famed NGO. Continue reading
The Strangest Thing About ‘Semi-Fascist’ Trump
“Did Trump’s FBI, in the predawn hours, burst into the homes of New York Times reporters—in James O’Keefe -style—and march them outside in their underwear, all for the possible “crime” of receiving a stolen draft of the Supreme Court early draft of the Dobbs decision? Which is the greater “crime”—trafficking in clearly stolen confidential Supreme Court papers or looking at the abandoned, lost, and lurid diary of a wayward presidential daughter?”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) For the Left, Donald Trump is synonymous with “fascism” (or “semi-fascism,” as Joe Biden put it the other day). And for Liz Cheney and most of the NeverTrumpers, he remains an existential threat to democracy. Continue reading
Dr. Malone: This Is Who Runs the Government and the Globalist Movement
“[Dr. Malone goes] into the three companies controlling the money and the families that own them — Vanguard, Black Rock, and State Street. They control the corporations. When you see that, you see the harmonization of government, Big Tech, finance, media. They own all the banks. They are all divisions of one large company.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) We hear the term Deep State used often, but Deep State is nothing more than the administrative state, also known as the SES or the Senior Executive Service. They are the executive bureaucrats in civil service. Continue reading
Democrat Leaders Increasingly Demonize Republican Voters — Not Just Politicians
“The political danger of the Democrats’ hateful rhetoric ought not be underestimated. Republican voters are already feeling threatened — by “cancel culture” in the workplace, for example, and by the sense that there is a double standard of justice, allowing left-wing activists to riot while imprisoning ardent Trump supporters for trespassing at the Capitol.”
(Joel Pollack – Breitbart) President Joe Biden plans to host a “Unity Summit” at the White House last month, after telling Democratic donors last week that Republicans who support Donald Trump were guilty of “semi-fascism.” Continue reading
Matt Chandler Steps Down Due to ‘Inappropriate Text Messages’ With Another Woman
“One thing we’ve never been critical of him about is his fidelity and faithfulness to his wife. Which is why his announcement today was so shocking.”
(The Dissenter) If you’re familiar with our blog at all, you know that we’ve been overtly critical of Village Church and Acts 29 pastor, Matt Chandler. Chandler’s theological bent is grounded far less in the authority of Scripture and far more in the whims of culture. Continue reading
Suffering for Righteousness Sake
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. John 15:18-20 (NASB)
This post is based primarily from Job 11. At first it seems as if it is a repeat of the previous chapters where Job’s friends accused him of egregious sin, which brought about his suffering via God’s law of retaliation. But we know that that is not the case and so does Job.
However, the spiritual attack on him is heavy as is his physical suffering. The waves of suffering are like cruel blows from a huge and talented boxer. They come one at a time or grouped together for maximum effect. Job is reeling. Continue reading
FBI Does Not Deny It Warned Facebook of Imminent ‘Dump’ of ‘Russian Propaganda’ Before Hunter’s Laptop Story Broke
“Polling shows the shenanigans surrounding Hunter’s “laptop from hell” impacted the 2020 election. Seventy-four percent of Americans believe the FBI misled the public when it claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was “disinformation.” Seventy-nine percent of Americans say former President Donald Trump would have won reelection in 2020 if Hunter’s laptop had been known to voters.”
(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) The FBI on Friday did not deny it warned Facebook of the imminent “dump” of “Russian propaganda” before the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop broke in the 2020 election cycle. Continue reading
How Doug Wilson and Co. Are Wailin’ on the Culture War
(Protestia) There is a growing concern over The Federal Vision (FV) again in North American Reformed Churches, here is why and here’s how to stop it:
- Very few (at least initially) are attracted to its theological positions. Most people aren’t interested in Baptismal Regeneration, Padeocommunion, and a questionable view of Justification. They aren’t being drawn by the Romanizing Tendency of FV. It’s something else.
-
The major draw is what they are saying in the areas of gender roles, politics, culture, and issues within the church. Doug Wilson is addressing these issues at a rapid pace. He responds to issues in real time. Continue reading
Will the Republicans Really Win Back the Congress?
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The late spring scenario of a massive GOP win—in historic proportions analogous to 1938, 1994, or 2010—is said now to be “iffy.”
The Left boasts that it now has a chance at keeping the House, with even better odds for maintaining control over the Senate.
Polls are all over the place. Now they show generic Republican leads, now Democratic. Continue reading
Silenced healthcare workers speak out publicly for the first time
Here’s what silenced healthcare workers from all over the world want you to know and why they aren’t able to speak out directly.
(Steve Kirsch) I created a form to ask healthcare workers to speak anonymously about what they are seeing.
Here’s what they said in their own words.
Here is a quick summary of some of the things they said: Continue reading
The Archdiocese of Omaha Has Issued Gender Policies for Its Schools, and Not Everyone Is Happy About It
According to the Omaha World-Herald, some people are fine with the new policy while others understand that, for lack of a better phrase, “it is what it is.”
(Lincoln Brown – PJ Media) As of January 1, 2023, Omaha, Nebraska, schools that are under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha will have a firm set of rules regarding gender. You can read the policy issued by the diocese on this page, but here is a summary: Continue reading
Biden’s Student Loan ‘Forgiveness’ Is an Unjust, Cynical Abuse of Power
“Biden is compelling American taxpayers to foot the bill for graduate degrees.”
(David Harsanyi – Townhall) “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” That’s what it says right there in the Constitution. And yet, without any legislation, President Joe Biden now promises to “cancel” up to $10,000 in student loans per borrower ($20,000 for Pell Grant borrowers), limited to those with annual incomes of less than $125,000. Continue reading
Southern Baptist Leaders Join Leftists Signing Pro-Vax Statement Calling Francis Collins a Faith Healing Minister
“It’s already come to light in recent months that these vaccines are useless and have ultimately caused more harm than good. Evidence is mounting that these vaccines are the cause of unforeseen illnesses, heart issues, and other serious medical problems including autoimmune disorders. Yet, the people who signed this statement want us to believe that it is a miracle of science, and that Francis Collins is the number one Apostle.”
(The Dissenter) Biologos, the pro-evolution “science” wing of professing Christendom of which Tim Keller has been a major contributor over the years, has released a pro-vaccine statement with over 8 thousand signatures which include original signers like Southeastern Baptist Seminary professor, Ken Heathley.
