Biden White House stonewalls two key senators in inquiry into president’s use of private email

“It is unclear whether now-President Biden has continued the use of non-government email for official business and whether he has continued to provide government information to his family members, including Hunter Biden.”

(John Solomon – Just The News)  The White House failed to meet a deadline last month to provide information to two key Republican senators concerning Joe Biden’s use of a private email account as vice president to send government information to his son Hunter Biden. Continue reading

Why would the Democrat Party deliberately destroy California?

“When those problems exploded, they reacted by citing climate change or some other bogeyman as the culprit rather than government dereliction. They preferred utopian high-speed rail solutions to pragmatic problem solving. And they ensured that none of their crackpot ideas ever affected themselves.”

(Victor Davis Hanson, Recall Election Could Reverse the California Ideology) California once was run by conservatives and mostly centrist Democrats.

True paleo-liberal governors like Pat Brown greatly expanded the welfare state. But they also believed in pushing integration and building freeways, dams, aqueducts and power plants, while preventing forest fires, directing the mentally ill into state hospitals, and ensuring that the state enhanced the housing, timber, oil and gas, nuclear and agricultural industries.

Desperately Seeking Sedition

Despite the hype in the hours, days, and weeks after the Capitol melee, not a single January 6 defendant has been charged with sedition. Turns out, there is #Sedition and then there’s the real thing.

(Ben Boychuk – American Greatness) Twitter account called #SeditionHunters has nearly 49,000 enthusiastic followers. The group describes itself loftily as a “global community of open-source intelligence investigators (OSINT)”—nice haughty touch with the acronym—“working together to assist the U.S. FBI and Washington D.C. Capitol Police in finding people who allegedly committed crimes in the January 6 capitol riots.”…. Continue reading

What is the Great Delusion?

8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 (NASB) 

As I stated in yesterday’s post, I have been doing a great of research on the “order of things” Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians 2. I have been lining up those things with our Lord’s Olivet Discourse and, of course, the Apostle John’s account in Revelation. Why?…. Continue reading

Pentecostal ‘Praise and Worship’: A Radical Departure from Historic Worship

“Biblically and historically, a worship service is where God’s people respond corporately to what God has revealed about Himself. Yes, this response ought to be heartfelt, sincere, meaningful and unfeigned. In charismatic worship theology, one is not so much in pursuit of a response, as one is in pursuit of an experience: an experience of the presence of God that is intense, sensorily tangible, and emotionally or physically ecstatic.” 

(David de Bruyn – Churches Without Chests) Christian worship has often had a remarkably similar shape across traditions. Bryan Chapell showed in his work Christ-Centered Worship that corporate worship (sans communion) in Roman, Lutheran, Reformed and Evangelical traditions had a very similar form: a Call to worship, a Kyrie or Confession, followed by Thanksgiving, an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, a prayer for Illumination, a Sermon, followed by a Benediction or dismissal, with hymns or psalms interspersed….

Grace Church wins their lawsuit

(Jesse Johnson – The Cripplegate)  This week Los Angeles County and the State of California both agreed to settle their lawsuit with Grace Community Church—the church pastored by John MacArthur and the home to The Master’s Seminary– and pay their legal team $800,000. This was the settlement reached as a result of the County of Los Angeles taking the church to court over COVID restrictions.

If you recall, March 2020 the State of California (along with just about every other state) declared a state of emergency as a result of COVID…. Continue reading

Unintended consequences often lead to crushing reality

“It doesn’t matter what Jen Psaki, the minister of propaganda, or the corrupt corporate media puts forth.  The truth is that only a heroic action in the future by the President could mitigate this colossal screwup. Place your bets now if you think old Joe will deliver heroism.”

(Bill O’Reilly, The Biden Circumstance)  Unintended consequences often lead to crushing reality.  When we do something that doesn’t work out (job, marriage, investment) there is usually hell to pay, as the cliche goes. Continue reading

New ‘mu’ COVID variant now found in 49 U.S. states

“California has reported the highest number of the latest variant with 384. A total of 167 of those cases were found in Los Angeles County.”

(Brandon Sapienza – MSN) Since being discovered in Colombia in January, the mu variant of COVID-19 has spread to nearly four dozen countries and has made its presence known in Hawaii and Alaska. It has so far been found in 49 states with Nebraska being the only state to not have a mu variant case detected. Continue reading

The Rebellion before the Man of Lawlessness is Revealed

1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4   Also read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (translated from the NA28 Greek text) on the site.

As you can probably tell, I have been doing a great deal of research into these very important eschatological elements. It is as if I cannot get past this study. When that happens I pay attention. God is working…. Continue reading

Top Scientist Claims Anthony Fauci ‘Untruthful’ About Chinese Lab Research

(Simon Kent – Breitbart)  The U.S. government contributed funding to controversial gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, a report alleged Monday.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the chief medical advisor to Democrat President Joe Biden, has previously denied the National Institute of Health [NIH] has ever funded such research. Continue reading

Why in the World Is the Government Disrupting the Distribution of Monoclonal Antibodies Now?

On Friday, someone who claimed to be an urgent care specialist tweeted that HHS had informed him that the government would now decide which facilities would receive doses of monoclonal antibodies.

(Stacey Lennox – PJ Media)  After demonizing nearly every medication with the potential to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally recommended monoclonal antibodies earlier this summer. Before the official recommendation, some providers used them under an emergency use authorization (EUA) granted by the FDA in November 2020…. Continue reading

Shine as Lights in the World

14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain. Philippians 2:14-16 (NASB) 

The more I study the End Times or Eschatology the more I understand how important it is for us to walk before the Lord right now as spirit-filled, obedient believers no matter what our circumstances are. Why?…. Continue reading

After decades of propaganda warfare and Stealth Invasion, the idea of a free America is hanging by a thread

“Will Fauci, Biden, Gates and Company get, in the end, what they were looking for all along, which was to get their serum into the arms of virtually every American and install freedom-crushing digital vaccine passports in every corner of America, making it impossible to buy or sell or work a job without accepting their mark of obedience?”

(Leo Hohmann)  America has been playing with fire for years, disrespecting its Constitution and allowing, even encouraging politicians to pander to the fears of an ever-present boogieman over the higher values of individual freedom and responsibility. Continue reading

Woke Author Tells Rick Warren’s Wife: Make ‘Racial Justice’ Part Of Your Church Membership Process

“If we’re talking about a congregational level, your church has to vocally, publicly, and in a sustained way pursue justice.”

(Protestia) It seems that ever since Ibram X. Kendi, author of the NYT bestseller How to be an Anti-racist, tapped Jemar Tisby to be the Assistant Director of Narrative and Advocacy at the brand new Center for Antiracist Research, that’s he’s gone further and further right in his ideology and rhetoric.

Australia State Uses Facial Recognition, Geolocation App to Force Quarantine

“We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes.”

(Charlie Kirk)  Australia has been using draconian measures under the guise of keeping covid cases low to strip citizens of freedom. While Prime Minister Scott Morrison admits “this is not a sustainable way to live in this country” Premier Steven Marshall says “I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.” Continue reading

SIX PLANES in Northern Afghanistan NOW HELD HOSTAGE BY TALIBAN — Filled with Americans and Afghan SIV Holders #BidenEffect

(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit)  Now we know why the media was ignoring this story.

The Taliban is holding the planes filled with Americans HOSTAGE in Northern Afghanistan!

As reported earlier, several retired Special Forces and US Veterans traveled to Afghanistan to rescue and bring the people Americans home that Joe Biden left stranded. Continue reading

The Great Falling Away

1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 (NASB)  Read verses 5-12 on the site.

Part of my daily devotions is the reading from a book that takes a Greek word and shows how it is used in the Bible and then how it is understood and/or misunderstood in the visible Church…. Continue reading

Like Father, Like Son? Allegations Surface Against Father of Accused Oregon Megachurch Pastor

Jon Courson would make prophecies and predictions, often at New Year’s Eve. Even though these didn’t pan out, Courson wouldn’t apologize. “That’s how these guys operate. They don’t have to give an explanation. No one ever really holds them accountable for really bad things they say.” [And do]

(Rebecca Hopkins) Ben Courson, pastor of an Oregon megachurch, recently stepped down amid allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct. Now, witnesses have come forward with allegations that Ben’s father, Jon Courson—founder of Applegate Christian Fellowship near Medford, Oregon—had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the 1980s. Continue reading

Top Health Officials Push Back Against Biden’s Booster Jabs Plan

By moving ahead unilaterally, the White House usurped the CDC and FDA’s authority over these types of health-related calls…“The recommendation shouldn’t precede the data, which is what happened here. And that’s why people are so upset,” said a source close to the FDA advisory panel who was not authorized to speak on the record.

(Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge)  Just as President Biden was promising to unveil new federal measures for combating the delta variant next week, the NYT dropped a bombshell report claiming that the heads of the CDC and FDA had advised the White House to scale back its plan for booster shots. Continue reading

Chase Bank Unveils New ‘Reputation Risk’ Campaign, Targeting Loyal Customers For Their Political Beliefs

(Revolver)  Over the weekend a stunning image made the rounds online. The photo showed a letter from Chase Bank to Lori Flynn, the wife of Gen. Michael Flynn, informing her that her credit cards were being canceled due to the “reputational risk” she created for the company.

See the letter on the site — also tweets.

Some on the left initially suggested the letter might be a hoax, before concluding that Chase’s decision was legitimate and something to celebrate.  Continue reading

Who’s Really Being Hospitalized?

After admission, I spoke to the nurse on the COVID ward. She was suited up in a plastic yellow disposable gown, teal gloves, and two masks underneath a recirculating personal respiratory system that buzzed so loudly she could barely hear. The nurse told me that she had gotten both vaccines but she was feeling worried: “Two thirds of my patients are fully vaccinated.” 

(Jennifer Margulis) “I’m not going to arm wrestle with the administration about where to put you,” Dr. C., a highly skilled gastroenterologist, said gently to my friend who was in bed in a triage room in the ER. “We just want to get you into a bed so we can figure out what’s wrong and get you treated.” Continue reading

There’s a Problem in the Upper Reaches of Our Military

“Think of the irony. If Milley considered a politicized resignation to rebuke Trump over the false charge [that Trump had ordered rioters cleared from Lafayette Square for a staged picture], then surely he could consider a real resignation after overseeing the worst military disaster of the last half-century in Kabul.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – Townhall)  It is the beginning of a never-ending bad dream. Joe Biden and the Pentagon have managed to birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country. Continue reading

Judicial Watch Sues HHS Over Suspected COVID-19 Cover-Up

“Judicial Watch is also leading an inquiry into what it calls suspected “collusion” between The Gates Foundation and China regarding the sale of Chinese-made medications worldwide.”

(OAN) Government watchdog group Judicial Watch is fighting against injustice by filing a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic…. Continue reading
