Study: The Dangerous Partisanship of TV’s Midterm Coverage

(Rich Noyes – News Busters) Four years ago, TV’s midterm coverage hammered Republican candidates and then-President Trump with 88 percent negative spin while sparing Democrats similarly bad press. This year, Democrats are in charge of the White House and both chambers of Congress, yet a new Media Research Center study of ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts finds that Republicans are receiving coverage that is just as negative (87% negative) as in 2018, while Democrats — including the President — are drawing far less scrutiny than the party out of power.

The Prayer of Faith

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:7-11 (LSB) 

Despite what the Health, Wealth, and Prosperity preachers say or those who preach nothing but positive messages to all who are Christians, the Word of God promises something very different. Like what? How about trials of various kinds? How about fiery trials?… Continue reading

Watch these climate cultists smash stone tablets atop Mt. Sinai as part of their ‘climate repentance’

(Not the Bee) In a not-so-subtle slight to Judeo-Christian beliefs, environmental activists smashed stone tablets atop Jebel Musa in Egypt, the mountain many believe to be Mount Sinai where Moses received the ten commandments written by the hand of God on stone tablets.

Watch the video on the site.

Singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” while they smash the tablets feels way too similar to the “this is the god that brought you out Egypt” moment in Exodus. Yikes! Continue reading

Report: Former Ravi Zacharias International Ministries Leaders are ‘Disqualified’ For Unrepentant Abuse and Deceit

“Our determination is that Michael Ramsden, Sarah (Davis) Phillips, and Abdu Murray have not displayed a godly sorrow nor demonstrated the fruit consistent with repentance for their actions. They have acknowledged that “mistakes were made” but have not specifically owned their actions or expressed remorse to those they hurt. Nor have they repaired the damage they have caused.” 

(Debbie Licona) On December 22, 2020, Miller & Martin PLLC released an interim report on its “independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment raised against Ravi Zacharias.”[2] The interim report “found significant, credible evidence that Mr. Zacharias engaged in sexual misconduct over the course of many years.” This abuse was consistent with that which was reported in the past and in the news. More serious abuse was also uncovered. Continue reading

Jars of Gay? Frontman Dan Haseltine is Pro-LGBTQ, Pro-Trans, Pro-Choice

“He has also taken up the cause for trans issues, supporting trans propaganda in library books, trans ‘men’ having access to the women’s washroom, and trans kids being able to compete in sports.”

(Protestia) A few months ago we broke the story that ‘Christian’ band Relient K came out as pro-LGBTQ after inviting open and unrepentantly gay musician Semler to join them on their upcoming tour and selling LGBTQ merch. This came on the heels of Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman Releasing a pro-LGBTQ TikTok video. Continue reading

George Bush Is Working with Barack Obama on ‘Democracy’

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) This is disgusting. So-called Republican and warmonger George W. Bush is holding “democracy” conferences alternating with Barack Obama. They’re working together.

Axios reported that former President George W. Bush and former President Obama are preparing to hold back-to-back conferences on protecting democracy after former President Trump makes his “major announcement” on November 15. Continue reading

You will not be able to serve the Lord, for He is a holy God

19 Then Joshua said to the people, “You will not be able to serve Yahweh, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgression or your sins. 20 If you forsake Yahweh and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you after He has done good to you.” Joshua 24:19-20 (LSB) 

One of the products of the growing apostasy of the Church in our time that is especially tragic is the loss of the understanding of God’s Holiness. Several years ago I wrote a post about our great need to walk in fear of God. Some of the comments I received on that post were heart breaking. Some insisted that Jesus was their buddy or their homeboy or their ‘bro’ and he loved them so much that it really did not matter how they lived. My brethren God has not changed. He is immutable and perfect. He neither changes nor has any need to do so. Continue reading

Woke Fail: Disney Begins Layoffs, Hiring Freeze, and Limiting Employee Travel as Stock Crashes

“Disney picked a political fight with Gov. DeSantis earlier this year over the state’s Parental Rights in Education Law, which prohibits the teaching of sexuality and gender ideology — including transgenderism — to children in kindergarten through third grade.”

(David Ng – Breitbart) It’s been a bad week for the Walt Disney Co.

First, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) won re-election in a landslide victory on Tuesday. Then Disney’s corporate earnings disappointed Wall Street, sending its stock crashing to new lows. Now the entertainment giant is reportedly planning layoffs, a targeted hiring freeze, and travel limitation on its employees. Continue reading

Al Mohler Appears to Embrace the ‘David Raped Bathsheba’ Feminist Sex Abuse Narrative

Mohler appeared to embrace the feminist narrative that is being advanced by Evangelical feminists like Beth Moore, Rachael Denhollander, and others, that any time a man and a woman commit fornication, and that man has some kind of “authority” or “power” over the woman, it is automatically sex abuse on the part of the man. Essentially, it is “rape.”

(The Dissenter) Marxism, in a nutshell, pits people against each other by classifying people according to their status as either “oppressors” or “oppressed.” We’ve seen this play out in modern society through different schemes employing different types of classifications from race, gender, religion, and even sexuality. Continue reading

Religious Leaders to Meet on Mt. Sinai for ‘Prophetic Call for Climate Justice’ and ‘Ceremony of Repentance’

(Protestia) During the United Nation’s Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP 27), between November 6th and 18th, the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development is putting on an “interfaith climate event” at Mt. Sinai described as a “heart-stirring, transformative and a moment of inspiration for religious communities and for humanity.”

The group says they will “bring together premier religious leaders from the world’s major religions to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: “Ten Universal Principles for Climate Justice. ”… Continue reading

DeSantis 2024? Think Again.

As J.B. Shurk writes, everything that the establishment class “has fraudulently peddled against Trump—that he’s imperious, mercurial, uncouth, unworthy to hold office, a Russian spy, a warmonger, an insurrectionist, a ‘denier,’ a criminal—is nothing but an endless barrage of psychological warfare directed against MAGA voters.”

(David Solway – PJ Media)  It should be clear by this time that popularity has nothing to do with electability. Trump filled rally after rally in state after state with countless, full-house, full-stadium crowds, and such numbers do not lie. There really was a red wave in the midterms, but it was macro-engineered to a trickle, as should have been expected. The scam of “malfunctioning” voting machines, the shortage of paper ballots, the tsunami of mail-in and late ballots, the temporary closing and slow-downs of polling stations, and so on would have been sufficient to determine an electoral result….

Blasphemy: Holy Spirit Ouija Board Lets You ‘Communicate Directly With Jesus Christ’

(The Dissenter) I don’t know if this qualifies as the unforgivable blasphemy of the Holy Spirit that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 12:31, but it sure seems close. A company called Holy Spirit Games has released a new Ouija Board-like game called the Holy Spirit Board which claims it will let you communicate directly with Jesus Christ.

According to the product description on Amazon, “The Holy Spirit Board is the only spirit board designed to directly contact our lord and savior Jesus Christ!… Continue reading

FBI Knew About the ‘Seditious Conspiracy’ But Didn’t Stop It

“We still wonder about Ray Epps. Epps was the only MAGA that the Jan. 6 panel liked. Epps is the President of the Arizona chapter of the Oath Keepers. He worked assiduously to get people to invade the Capitol. He was never arrested or charged.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Anyone who claimed FBI informants were present on Jan. 6 was called a conspiracy theorist. Turns out they weren’t. The seditious conspiracy went on with FBI knowledge thanks to informants, and they didn’t try to stop it. Continue reading

The Marxist general in the American Civil War

“The Obama machine is committed to winning not only the American civil war but what Bertil Haggman…calls a “planetary civil war.” We are in the midst of this revolution, which has been carried forward by Barack Hussein Obama, as we saw in his appearances on the campaign trail. He is the real power behind China Joe.”

(Cliff Kincaid – RenewAmerica) Despite claims of a MAGA Red Wave on November 8, Barack Hussein Obama—America’s first Marxist president—emerged from the shadows and orchestrated a Democratic Party comeback that has effectively blocked any Republican effort in Congress to root out communism and corruption. Continue reading

First Biological Male Wins ‘Miss Greater Derry,’ A Beauty Pageant Held By The Miss America Organization

“Yes Miss America will no longer be about women. Men want to make us irrelevant.”

(Nicole Dominique – Evie Magazine) Brían Nguyen became the first transgender to win a title under the Miss America Organization. He was named Miss Greater Derry 2023, landing him a crown and scholarship, as announced this past Sunday. The Miss Greater Derry Scholarship Program provides scholarships to “young women” between the ages of 17 and 24.

Federal Judge in Texas Blocks Biden’s Student Loan Handouts

“The court has correctly ruled in favor of our motion and deemed the Biden student loan program illegal…” 

(Sarah Arnold – Townhall) A U.S. Judge in Texas struck down President Joe Biden’s plan to give millions of student debt borrowers up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients and $10,00 for those who borrowed money using federal student loans.

“Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine…. Continue reading

The Lure of This Fleeting Age

15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15 (LSB) 

There is a certain type of love that God hates. We find that in John 15:18-20)

18 “If the world hates 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 (LSB)  Continue reading

Tuesday Takeaways

“As voters self-select residences on ideological grounds and the deleterious effect of blue-states’ governance, the country is gravitating into two antithetical nations. Americans vote not so much for individual personalities as blocs of incompatible parties, causes, and ideologies.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) During the COVID lockdowns, American elections radically changed to mail-in and early voting. They did so in a wild variety of state-by-state ways. Add ranked voting and a required majority margin to the mess and the result is that once cherished Election Day balloting becomes increasingly irrelevant. Continue reading

Vatican Archbishop Blames Pope Francis for Pro-Abortion Appointment

Abomination.

(Thomas D. Williams – Breitbart) The head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, has blamed Pope Francis for naming pro-abortion economist Mariana Mazzucato to the Academy.

Coming under pressure for the bewildering nomination that caused consternation for many Catholics, Archbishop Paglia insisted in a November 9 letter to the editor of the Italian daily Il Foglio that the decision “was a pontifical appointment” as Pope Francis has himself reiterated. Continue reading

Smear Film: Jerry Falwell Jr. Caused the January 6th Riot and Ended Roe, and You’re Just Like Him

Using the typical monochromatic filters to make Trump supporters look like terrorists, the propaganda film denounces the overwhelmingly peaceful January 6th protesters as “parading around with Christian symbolism, invoking God and Jesus and the Bible in the service of sedition.”

(David Morrill – Protestia) God Forbid, a tawdry, salacious, and politically-motivated smear documentary about Jerry Falwell Jr.’s fall from power was released on Hulu today, advancing the bizarre claim that Falwell was a “kingmaker” for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory and that Falwell’s sins demonstrate the evil of Christians who engage with the culture. Continue reading

WHO, EU, Vatican Call for a Treaty to End All Fossil Fuels

“There is no way solar or wind can sustain the world population. This is calling for the destruction of our society. China, India, and Russia won’t do it. These globalist madmen are calling for the end of Western civilization.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The tiny nation of Tuvalu, like its neighbor Vanuatu, called for a non-proliferation treaty to phase out fossil fuels at the COP27 conference. The globalists at the COP27 are meeting this week to plan our futures and think it’s a grand idea. Continue reading

Measure of faith

3 For by the grace having been given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. Romans 12:3 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

Not long ago a good friend showed me this verse and said a fellow brother at our church seemed very confused about the words “measure of faith.” Part of his confusion stemmed from reading several commentaries about it that differed from each other…. Continue reading

Mike Winger, Allen Parr, and the Darker Side of Christian YouTube

“Mike Winger’s normative discernment, practiced by online ministers, is basically a “see no falsehood, hear no falsehood” approach to other teachers – even clearly false ones.”

(David Morrill) The internet certainly provides a great number of teachers saying what itching ears want to hear (2 Tim. 4:3). No site makes this more obvious than the world’s second-largest search engine, Google’s very own YouTube. Viewers can watch content ranging from bizarre and obvious rank heresy all the way to solid expositional sermons from trustworthy ministries around the globe – all loosely defined within the distinct yet unceremoniously monikered “Christian YouTube.” Continue reading

How Could John Fetterman Have Won? Every Possible Answer Is Bad in a Different Way.

“Fetterman’s victory proves that the Democrats’ willingness to put up with Old Joe Biden’s obvious incapacity was no anomaly. The Fetterman victory is an indication that the Leftist elites are just rubbing it in now, showing that they have now filled a sufficient number of people with their propaganda that they can elect literally anyone to any position they want and perpetuate the governance of a shadowy, behind-the-scenes oligarchy. Fetterman, like Biden, will simply serve as a puppet for the people who are pulling the strings, and that seems to be just fine with Pennsylvanians.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) It’s hardly even believable: the stuttering, sputtering John Fetterman, a stroke victim who only rarely manages to utter a complete sentence, coasted to victory in the Pennsylvania Senate race. Like Joe Biden, Fetterman is so clearly unfit for his new job that no sane person could possibly think otherwise;… Continue reading

Americans delivered another split verdict, and told us a lot about our future

(John Solomon – Just the News) For a third straight election, Americans delivered an unmistakably split verdict in the midterms. In the process they have told us a whole lot about our country’s future heading into the 2024 presidential contest.

The first message is that most Americans don’t embrace the Democrats’ far-left policies or like the direction their country has taken under Joe Biden. That dissatisfaction runs 7 or 8 out of every 10 voters. But they also aren’t sold on some of the GOP’s statewide candidates. Continue reading
