The Left Calls Their People to Spill Blood in the Streets

“Democrats want Obama’s fundamental transformation. They want a full communist and socialist government and they won’t tolerate the right. RINOS are cooperating with them.”

(Mary Dowling) The hard left, now in full control of the Democrat Party is waging psychological warfare and the philosophical nature of it is taking root in the minds of Democrats. Opponents are evil, and words are violence, not their words, only the right’s words.

Unfortunately, the hardcore left has created a world where words are becoming violence…. Continue reading

Why the Left Kills

“They demand you affirm and celebrate the murder of the young, that you use their preferred pronouns, and most importantly of all, that you shut up about Christ and His Word. Their conscience condemns them, and when you join in that condemnation, they will call you a “bigot” and a “fascist” until their hatred festers so deeply that they are not only willing to insult you or try to get you fired from your job—they will eventually convince themselves it is morally right to kill you.”

(Harrison R. Kahrig – TruthScript) “If they are willing to kill children, don’t think they are above killing you.”

said this three years ago, and it is all the more true now.

If the left is willing to murder the most innocent and defenseless among us, they will be more than willing to kill you. They will take everything you love and crush it if you keep them from what they want. It doesn’t matter how gentle or reasonable you are. Continue reading

Elon Musk’s DOGE Uncovered the Biggest Health Care Heist in American History

“[T]hat’s how we’re being attacked now, and it’s not done by small-time operators, as you’re hearing about and you will read about. These are organized syndicates who are designing to hurt America. And why do they hurt our health care system? Well, CMS is probably the largest target of all, responsible for about $1.7 trillion dollars of disbursements. So, it’s a big target on our side. And they can pierce the veil of protection by just getting identifier numbers from our seniors or Medicaid recipients or others.”

(Victoria Taft – JP Media) What if I told you that cartels and other bad actors from around the world conspired to undermine the integrity of the health care system in the U.S. and came way too close to succeeding?… Continue reading

Salt and Light

25 Now many crowds were going along with Him, and He turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. 27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? 29 Lest, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Luke 14:25-35 (LSB) Read verses 31-35 on the site.

When I was in High School a movie came out that was pretty popular and I have seen several times. It is supposedly based on the last few years of the life of Thomas More. The movie was “A Man for All Seasons.”… Continue reading

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do

35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to the ungrateful and evil. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:35-36 (LSB)

A couple days ago I watched the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. One of the most moving parts of it for me was when Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, spoke. She spoke how the man who was accused of murdering Charlie was exactly like those who Charlie had dedicated himself to rescue from the evil trap the world system had captured them into. She also tearfully said that she was using Jesus’ example on the cross of forgiving his executioners in forgiving Charlie’s murderer. I had to ask myself if I could do that. Look at our Lord’s command in the passage I posted above (Luke 6:35-36)…. Continue reading

Tylenol, Autism, and Team Trump

“Predictably, this announcement has generated intense responses, especially from the anti-Trump crowd, that are little more than knee-jerk contrarianism. For example, social media has started to see a rash of leftist pregnant women ingesting Tylenol to “prove” Trump wrong. One would think that rather than simply doing the opposite of what the administration advises, especially when it comes to the health of one’s baby, a mother would take the time to research the issue and confer with her doctor before engaging in potentially dangerous behavior.”

(Thomas Gallatin – The Patriot Post) Does Tylenol cause autism? Well, according to the Trump administration, it just might.

“Taking Tylenol is not good,” President Donald Trump asserted in a major announcement regarding recent assessments his administration has made into addressing the growing problem of autism…. Continue reading

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. 18 In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. James 1:16-18 (LSB) 

The test of true faith is that which is revealed in how one lives and walks through this life. Right belief, that is, a faith that lives in a regenerate heart born from above, is exhibited in right living as James, the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ wrote in the passage above. Notice also that he began that passage in v16 with, “Do not be deceived,” or Μὴ πλανᾶσθε from the Greek…. Continue reading

Yet Another ‘Day of Visibility’ For the Godless Sexual Revolutionaries

“When the church treats visibility as harmless and preaches that the Scriptures only whisper about such sin, it’s no better than Israel bowing before Baal. God will not leave His name mocked. What the world wants visible is not identity but idolatry. And Scripture has already promised us where idolatry ends—in wrath, in exile, in destruction, and for some, by His grace, in the breaking that leads to repentance.”

(The Dissenter) I didn’t wake up this morning needing another reminder that sin wants to be celebrated. Yet here we are—“Bisexual Day of Visibility.” Apparently, the world’s calendar didn’t already have enough carved-out hours to exalt rebellion. Continue reading

New Strain of Trump Derangement Syndrome Confuses Jesus With Hitler

“It’s obvious that the leftist range of emotion regarding people of faith runs from contemptuous disdain to frothing hatred. They only have compassion for religious types who feature suicide vests in their worship and want to kill all the Jews. But if you raise your voice in prayer to Jesus, you’re a Nazi.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Someone recently remarked that what I’ve been writing lately seems conversational, like I’m in the middle of a dialogue with you fine readers, only I’m typing my part of it. I think I’ve always approached writing that way, but I’m noticing it more now that it was mentioned…. Continue reading

Thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service and the State of the American Church

“Every bit of political corruption and death we are seeing now is a symptom. And political activism can only deal with symptoms. Even if we got every political “win” we wanted, the country would still be drowning in its own demonic immorality.”

(Greg Smith) Charlie Kirk’s life was cut short on September 10, 2025, when he was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. His assassination took the nation by surprise and galvanized millions.

This culminated in a massive public memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Arizona—a packed event with dignitaries, politicians, pastors, and friends filling the seats and the stage. It was a moment meant to be unifying, cathartic, and resolute. Continue reading

The Cross of Christ separates the living from the dead

19 After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. John 14:19 (LSB) 

When our Lord spoke of the “world” in John 14:19, he was talking about those in this temporal existence who are not believers. They are not true Christians even though some in that group may profess to be so. In this context he was also referring to the Jewish religious leaders of his own day who so opposed him and his ministry and who would continue to oppose the early church as is seen all through the books of Acts for example…. Continue reading

Trump to link Tylenol and autism, advise pregnant women to use only for high fevers

“The company strongly disagreed with any suggestion linking Tylenol to autism, claiming that discouraging women from using the drug would force them to make “dangerous choices” between enduring pain that could be harmful to them and their babies, and taking riskier pain relief drugs.”

(Natalia Mittelstadt – Just the News) President Trump will reportedly on Monday announce a link between Tylenol and autism, and advise pregnant women to use the drug, or generic acetaminophen, only for high fevers, according to a news report. Continue reading

N.T. Wright Says God Will Save Billions of People Who Have Never Heard of Jesus

“The gospel is not a divine mood. It is not ambient grace. It is not an “inner light.” It is the proclamation of a crucified and risen Savior to dead sinners who must repent and believe. If people could be saved by sincerity, the apostles wasted their lives. Paul’s beatings, Peter’s martyrdom, Stephen’s stoning—pointless theater. If tribal mysticism counts, the Great Commission becomes the Great Offense. If general revelation is enough, then Christ’s blood was a needless tragedy.”

(The Dissenter) In a recent episode of the Premier Unbelievable  podcast, theologian N.T. Wright was handed a golden opportunity to make clear the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ. Instead, he picked it up like a wet sponge, flung it at the wall, and watched it slide down into a puddle of postmodern confusion. Continue reading

Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Was a Hope-Filled Clarion Call

“There has also been a lot of talk about Charlie Kirk’s Christian witness and the people who have been moved to go back to church or begin praying again since his death. I’ve got a lot of anecdotes about this, too. People are going to church for the first time in 10 or 15 years. Standing room only at services.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) Because of my background, both as a longtime activist and my years in conservative media, I’ve had people from all over this side of the aisle reaching out to me since Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10. In uncertain and frightening times, people tend to gravitate towards the elders of the village. Continue reading

Assassin Nation: The MSM’s Cover-Up

Clearly, the Leftmedia has downplayed or ignored the obvious left-wing radicalization of the assassin….And they’ve taken up the cause of Kimmel to deflect our attention from Charlie Kirk. It won’t work. But this willful neglect and this dumbing-down of the citizenry does matter. Why? Because, as Founder John Adams warned us long ago, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) The Left’s penchant for political violence is no secret. It’s well documented. And yet the mainstream media can’t seem to report on it. Continue reading

Glenn Beck Says Mormon Joseph Smith and Charlie Kirk are ‘probably the only Christian martyrs in American history’

“Mormonism and Christianity might share some superficial similarities in language and values, the theological chasms between them are vast and unbridgeable and Mormonism is a damnable heresy.” The Dissenter

(Protestia) During his show yesterday, prominent conservative radio host Glenn Beck, who is a member of the Mormon Christian cult, explained to Dream City Church pastor Josh McPherson that evangelical Charlie Kirk and the LDS prophet Joseph Smith were the only people he considered “Christian martyrs” in American history:

McPherson: “Charlie’s political theory was anchored in biblical theology, and he, like, no one I’ve ever met had the ability to connect those dots in all of life. And so, as I’ve been talking with those guys all this long, they didn’t kill Charlie because he was a big personality…. Continue reading

Would You Cut Off Contact With a Family Member Over Politics? The Difference Between Right and Left.

“…responding to a conservative’s murder by fixating on how bad and gross his ideas were would be a political loser, just making liberals seem weird and callous and obsessive and off — especially given the likelihood that the murder was itself committed as an expression of objection to those ideas.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The new liberal website, The Argument,  conducted an interesting poll of Trump 2024 supporters, Harris 2024 supporters, and those who didn’t vote.

One question was about free speech on campus. Continue reading

Jesus and Nicodemus

I. REGENERATION

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

“The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

“Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Continue reading

Headline News…you may have missed

(The Patriot Post’s Friday: Below the Fold) More Democrats love socialism, RFK’s panel makes measles vax recommendation, some of Biden’s missing border kids found, Trump nominees confirmed, and more.

Democrats love socialism, hate capitalism: A recent Gallup poll provided a piece of not-news for those who follow politics: Democrats support socialism and hate capitalism. Some 66% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism compared to 38% of Independents and 14% of Republicans (which might be the real headline)…. Continue reading

Candace Owens Is Under Fire for Suggesting Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Was Not a Random Act of Violence

“She was with Turning Point USA when she started out and they were friends after she left. However, they operated independently in their own spheres. Her claim that he was her “best friend” and like her “brother” is not totally accurate.”

(Mary Dowling) Conservative commentator Candace Owens is under fire after using her YouTube channel to suggest that Charlie Kirk’s killing last week in Utah was not a random act of violence. Continue reading

The Insanity That Created Kirk’s Killer: Lefty Says Dating ‘Trans’ Male Doesn’t Equal ‘Gay’

“This whole lie is at the crux of the ongoing debate about Robinson, since he is, according to authorities, in a romantic relationship with a man who identifies as a woman. That does, in fact, make him homosexual, because no matter how much cross-dressing or how many hormones and surgeries Robinson’s former partner utilizes, he will still always be a biological male.

(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Instead of recognizing that their ideology helped inspire accused murderer Tyler Robinson to kill Charlie Kirk, many LGBTQ activists are doubling down on insanity. But it is their lies that spur violence like Kirk’s assassination. For instance, one nutcase was fixated on telling people that a man in a romantic relationship with a man who identifies as a woman makes the first man heterosexual? Continue reading

Was the Current Madness Birthed in the University?

“If a General Milley (“now I realize he’s a total fascist”) or a General Kelly (“certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure”) calls a current or ex-president a fascist, and presidential candidate Kamala Harris agrees (“a president…who admires dictators and is a fascist”), then does an unhinged 22-year-old “anti-fascist” college student feel the popular culture might approve of his own efforts in dealing with “fascist” Trump supporters?”

(Victor Davis Hanson) America is currently sick.

The young conservative organizer and media personality Charlie Kirk was just murdered in a political assassination by a 22-year-old ‘anti-fascist’ and trans advocate, Tyler Robinson. As planned, he eliminated the most astute and successful political activist in a generation. Indeed, Kirk may well have ensured that Donald Trump won the 2024 election by not just increasing his youth vote by 6 percent since 2020 but, more importantly, by margins in the swing states of 15-24 percent, ensuring Trump’s victory.

No sooner was he killed than thousands on left-wing social media erupted in celebration—among them scores of teachers and professors. Their venom was eerily reminiscent of their earlier canonization of left-wing murderer Luigi Mangione. Recall, Mangione was the spoiled nepo baby who lethally ambushed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Thereby, he became an icon to the Left as a social justice warrior fighting the evil capitalist system, which had so enriched himself and his own family. Continue reading

The Left Isn’t Debating Anymore, They’re Hunting

“For Christians, this is the world we are going to have to live in. The cost of proclaiming Christ, a biblical worldview, and biblical sexual ethics is going up. The cost of saying “Jesus is Lord” is going up.”

(The Dissenter) There’s really no way to whitewash this—the radical left has declared war on us. Not a metaphorical war, not just a battle of ideas ungraciously waged in op-eds at the NYT or WaPo, but a war with literal, physical casualties.

And we just saw this with the assassination of Charlie Kirk…. Continue reading

Dems Are the Sad, Ugly Chicks Who Marry Imprisoned Killers

This is a sickness akin to the pathetic women who strike up “romances” with convicted, incarcerated murderers by becoming pen pals with them. Sometimes the happy couple ends up having a prison wedding. There’s something fundamentally broken in these women, just like there is in the enemy of the people ABC “journalist” who found Tyler Robinson’s explanation for murdering Charlie Kirk “touching.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) It’s obvious at this point that it is too much to ask that the Democrats will undergo a massive course correction and stop being clinically insane. The majority of the Democrats, that is. I would just like to find a few who don’t need a straitjacket and electroshock therapy. There have to be some out there somewhere. Continue reading

From Grief to Grit: A Christian Roadmap After Kirk’s Assassination

Prayer for hard times image

“…it is incumbent on Christian men to possess the inner virtue to know the dictates of wisdom and to bravely use force when it is called for. We ought to be the stabilizing element in society, the people others turn to when chaos ensues, the calm and steady hand that guides others, because we ourselves are being guided by God.” 

(Jon Harris – TruthScript) I have received more questions about “What can I do?” in the past two days than I have since the contested presidential election in 2020. Multiple friends have called to ask what the next steps are in light of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Let me get right to the point. There are three things. Continue reading
