The True Cost of Biden’s Agenda

“Using their bare majority in the House and their not-really-a-majority in the Senate, Democrats hope to pass a massive spending bill that is actually far more massive than it looks. The estimated $367 addition to the deficit — which is bad enough — would actually be a $3 trillion addition to the deficit.”

(Byron York – Townhall) President Joe Biden and Capitol Hill Democrats are racing to pass their massive social spending bill, known as Build Back Better, before Christmas. Maybe they’ll succeed, and maybe they won’t — a lot depends on whether Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin hops on board…. Continue reading

Adam Schiff Uses Text Messages That Disprove Insurrection to Try to Shore Up Sagging Insurrection Narrative

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Liz Cheney on Monday revealed text messages from former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows’ phone. Despite the fact that they prove that there never was an insurrection, the Democrats and their media sycophants were working hard Tuesday to make the texts out to be the bombshell that will finally, once and for all, destroy Donald Trump. Foremost among them was, not surprisingly, Adam Schiff (D-OrangeManBad), whose only claim to fame as a congressman has been his relentless and evidence-free efforts to drive Trump first from the presidency, and now from public life altogether. Continue reading

Now we know why the establishment has always opposed early treatment

(Daniel Horowitz – The Blaze) The shots don’t work for many people, particularly the elderly. The establishment is blocking every other treatment option available. At this point, with so many people recovering even from late-stage COVID by taking ivermectin, which is infinitely safer than the shots, how could anyone ascribe anything other than very sinister motivations to those declaring war on its use?

The shills for Big Pharma and the “Great Reset” who don’t want to see people survive this virus claim they don’t have enough data on ivermectin, despite dozens of studies and simple reality showing that it works better than anything they have suggested…. Continue reading

They go from strength to strength

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:they will be still praising thee. Selah.5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. Psalms 84:4-7 (KJV) 

As many of you know, I turned 70 this last October. As my wife and I enter this decade of our 70’s together we are discovering that there is indeed many things unanticipated about our health that neither of us saw coming…. Continue reading

Justice Gorsuch Torches SCOTUS for Rejecting Challenge to NY Vax Mandate for Healthcare Workers

( – The New American) The U.S. Supreme Court just left in place New York’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers that allows for no religious exemptions.

On Monday, the nation’s highest court rejected, by a 6-3 vote, a request by 20 anonymous doctors and nurses, nearly all of whom are Catholic, to grant an injunction against the arguably unlawful mandate. Only Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch voted to grant the injunction…. Continue reading

Cracked Icons: The corrupt and mediocre heroes of the Left are imploding

“The Biden candidacy was one of the most cynical in American history. The unhinged far-Left adopted a befuddled Biden as the respectable veneer necessary to see their hard-core, but stealth socialist agenda finally enacted. Key to a virtual presidency would be virtual voting, as 102 million mail-in and early votes were never subject to the previous standards of authentication and statistical rejection rates of the past—rendering Election Day voting mostly a memory.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) With fits and starts, we are slowly returning to reality after four years of mass hysteria. Our media-deified, progressive icons are finally being exposed as the deceivers they always were. Continue reading

Australian man visited a plant nursery last week, now he’s quarantined in an Adelaide medi-hotel

(Rebecca Opie and Imogen Hayne) When Shaun Ferguson was browsing the plants at a local nursery last Tuesday afternoon, he never thought it would land him in two weeks quarantine in a medi-hotel.

That night he received the text message that no one wants to receive.

“At about 11.30 that night I got a text message from SA Health saying that I’d been to a potential exposure site for the Omicron strain,” Mr Ferguson said. Continue reading

The Worshipping Heart

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad. 2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. 3 Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries round about. 4 His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled. 5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. Psalms 97 (NASB)  Read verses 6-12 on the site.

I love to worship my Lord. Why? It is not about me. It is about Him. When we truly worship the Lord, we do so in spirit and truth. We worship and bless Him. Worship is not about us. I have seen many people get upset because they do not enjoy certain types of worship music…. Continue reading

Identity Wars: What did Paul mean when he wrote, ‘such were some of you?’

Our culture is telling us that it’s “okay to be gay,” and that virtually every kind of “sexual orientation” should be affirmed. It’s telling us that “gayness” is unalterable, except perhaps when it’s not because of “gender fluidity,” and it’s increasingly hostile to “heteronormativity.” 

(Ron Henzel – Midwest Christian Outreach) Currently, a battle is being waged for the soul of my home denomination. In the theologically conservative Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), the question is being asked: What did Paul mean when he wrote, “such were some of you,” and how should we apply it in the life of the church?” Continue reading

This is Christian triumph

“A Christian takes joy in teaching our children to love God more than anything in this world, and to love the things He loves – things like grace, forgiveness, and mercy.”

(Peter Heck – Not the Bee) Just over a week ago, the life of Richard Houston II, a 21-year veteran of the Mesquite, Texas, police department, was taken by a gun-wielding man in a parking lot. Jamie Jaramillo, mistress by his side, had just been confronted by his wife about his infidelity. Officer Houston took the call to respond to the disturbance and upon arriving attempted to talk with Jaramillo. Continue reading

What I’ve Learned Rescuing My Daughter From Her Transgender Fantasy

“She hated me like an addict hates the person preventing her drug fix. I held my ground, despite the constant verbal abuse.”

(Charlie Jacobs- Daily Signal) My daughter’s story is no longer novel. Stories like it are occurring in your state, your town, and perhaps even on your street. Gender dysphoria—the incongruence between the mind and the body—moves stealthily and quickly to invade girls and boys alike.

But this isn’t a cautionary tale. It’s a warning. Continue reading

Desperate Leftists Watching Power Slip Through Their Hands

“America has had a taste of the type of nation that the left has dreams of turning her into. They’ve said, “nah bro we’re good.” And they are planning on turning out in enormous numbers in 2022 to see to it that these ideas and the candidates who tout them are all put to bed and hopefully never to be heard from again.”

(Kevin McCullough – Townhall) In the past few weeks, on a number of fronts, the WOKE Left in America have watched loss after loss pile up and they are realizing something that should encourage the rest of us. Continue reading

Alive in Christ

7 But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; 8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:7-8 (NASB)

 

In the passage above (1 Timothy 4:7-8) the Apostle Paul used the Greek noun εὐσέβειαν (eusebeian) in v8, which is translated here as “godliness.” What is godliness?…. Continue reading

God is faithful

23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (NASB) 

I recently became aware of someone I am acquainted with who was discouraged because of the lack of faith or trust that he saw in people he came in contact with in his job and in society. He claimed that it is rampant and much worse than he had ever seen before…. Continue reading

‘Experts’ Claim Vaxx Refusers Need to be Deradicalized or Reeducated Like Cult Members and Terrorists

“By this logic, Joe Rogan and others — who have had covid-19 and choose not to take the jab because they trust their natural immunity — are akin to terrorists or cult members.”

(Matt Agorist) In 2016, after the horrifying attacks by extremists in Paris on Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine, on a Jewish supermarket, and on the Bataclan concert hall — which left 107 people dead — France made the decision to open reeducation camps…. Continue reading

The Supremacy of Christ: Living for His Glory and Not Our Own (Hebrews 9)

“Hebrews 9 is a chapter rich in biblical theological intratextuality, which is a complex way of saying: Hebrews 9 is an explosion of biblical glory, which brings together all the elements of God’s story—the the covenants, the priests, sacrifices, etc. And when all of them find their fulfillment in Christ, we see that the story of the universe has a place for us, if we will draw near to God in Christ.”

(David Schrock) Imagine that you were writing the script of your life. In your story, the place was yours to decide, as well as the people, the problems, and the pleasures. As the author of the story and the inventor of your universe, you got to decide how you would do it. Continue reading

The Gospel According to Carols

(Michelle Lesley) During the Christmas seasons of 2019 and 2020, I ran a meme series on my social media pages called The Gospel According to Carols. Many of our favorite Christmas carols include the gospel, so this was a series of memes with gospel quotes from Christmas carols to help keep our focus on the gospel during the hustle and bustle of the season.

The series was so popular I decided to add it to my collection of annual Christmas blog articles. All of the memes are posted below…. Continue reading

Vaccine-induced Myocarditis in Young People ‘Way More Serious’ than COVID-Induced Myocarditis says top cardiologist

(Debra Heine – American Greatness)  Dr. Peter McCullough, a top cardiologist and leader in the medical response to the COVID pandemic, said in a recent interview that myocarditis in young people post vaccine is far more dangerous than the COVID version of the heart disease.

Cases of myocarditis—inflammation of the heart muscle—have spiked dramatically among previously healthy people in heavily vaccinated countries…. Continue reading

Lawyer for dying COVID patient who recovered after court-ordered Ivermectin urges new thinking

After one day, he was able to do a breathing test he couldn’t do for 22 days, After three days, he was off the vent for two hours. And then by the fifth day, he was off it entirely…”

(John Solomon – Just the News) An Illinois lawyer who helped a dying COVID patient win court-ordered treatment with ivermectin and survive says the episode reveals a deep need for American health professions to rethink their approach to a pandemic that has persisted nearly two full years. Continue reading

DeSantis Will Issue Emergency Order Barring State Licenses for Florida Facilities that House Illegal Alien Children from Biden Border Crisis

This emergency order is the next step after an executive order DeSantis signed at the end of September outlining steps he was taking to protect Floridians from illegal migration and the effects of it.

(Matthew Boyle – Breitbart) Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis will take a major step on Friday morning to stop the influx of illegal aliens claiming to be unaccompanied children into his state thanks to Democrat President Joe Biden’s secret nighttime flights, Breitbart News has learned exclusively from the governor’s team. Continue reading

They’ve Successfully Taken Christ Out of Christmas and Replaced Him With Gay Pride

(Reformation Charlotte) Christmas is a Christian holiday, no matter how you look at it. Spare me the arguments that it has Pagan origins and actually borrows from other festivals and was only later Christianized as a holiday. Let’s just be real; without Christ, there never would have been a Christmas. There never would have been an advent. There never would have been a reason to celebrate the birth of the savior of the world–the greatest gift to mankind from God the world has ever seen. Christmas is about Christ. Continue reading

Jussie Smollett’s Race Hoax Joins a List of HUNDREDS of Other Fake ‘Hate Crimes.’ Here Are Just 8…

Let’s pick eight of the phony hate crimes you may have read about recently and later wondered, “Gee, whatever happened to … ?”

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) A jury has now confirmed what police (local, state, and federal), Dave Chappelle, and you knew all along: that Jussie Smollett perpetrated a fake hate crime, hung his friends out to dry, and tried to blame everything on Donald Trump. Jussie may as well have said, “But … but … but … MAGA! But Trump! C’mon, guys, don’t you believe me?” Continue reading

Efficacious Faith vs. Man-made Faith

13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14 (NASB) 

Efficacious adj. producing the desired effect – from The Oxford New Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus Third Edition. Continue reading

Dane Ortlund Wants to Make Sure You Don’t Reject Hillsong Music Just Because It Sounds Happy

“I’m sure Mr. Ortlund means well with this statement, but he obviously didn’t think this through. Nobody–literally nobody–actually rejects Hillsong because of this reason.” 

(Reformation Charlotte) Hillsong music has been soundly rejected by many top theologians including John MacArthur, Justin Peters, and many others on the basis that the music itself lacks not only theological substance, but that by purchasing or playing this music can only be translated into a support for the aberrant Hillsong prosperity gospel movement. Continue reading

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

“The progressive left controls Biden and its policies of no bail, far fewer prosecutions, and demonizing the police have directly led to the murders of thousands of Americans. You are not safe in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other big cities. The street violence is shocking.” 

(Bill O’Reilly) Forrest Gump would be perplexed by the policies of the Biden administration. I hesitate to use the word “stupid” but Forrest might not be. Name-calling is tedious but sometimes a situation can only be described with a solid insult; thus stupid is in play. Continue reading
