(David Blackmon – Whatfinger) The Democans and Republicrats who make up the UniParty in the U.S. Senate were back in action on New Year’s Day. – They voted 81-13 to override President Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The President had chosen to veto the bill because it did not contain language that would repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the clause that protects the Big Tech companies from being subjected to anti-trust enforcement over their anti-American censorship actions.

Longtime RZIM Staffer Describes how Senior Leadership Obfuscated Ravi Sex Scandals for Years
Weitnauer states that he became convinced in Sept 2020 that “Ravi had personally and repeatedly lied to me and others in the ministry about his relationship with her” and confesses that like others, his “longing for the approval” kept him from “asking hard questions and accepting the painful truth much sooner.”
(Protestia) A longtime employee of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) has released an Op-ed in the Christian Post detailing how the Board of Trustees and Senior leadership obfuscated, covered up, and/or swept under the rug accusations and information about the late apologist’s perverse appetites. Continue reading
Why Your Church Should Practice Church Discipline
“Church discipline, then, is essential because the Lord commands it. Jesus Christ has declared church discipline to be essential, and churches must treat the process accordingly by committing themselves (and training their people) to follow the steps mentioned above.”
(Jesse Randolph – For The Gospel) One of the more-frequently misapplied passages of Scripture is Matthew 18:20, where the Lord Jesus is recorded as saying: “For where two or three have gathered in My name, I am there in their midst.” Whether this verse is thrown around at a men’s prayer breakfast, a church potluck, or a small group conversation in a living room, the subtle suggestion is that Jesus is not going to bother to show up when one of His followers is flying solo. The transcendent and immanent King of Kings somehow needs at least two Christians gathered—and perhaps three—before He can make His way into their midst. Continue reading
Democrats Destroyed All the Savings of Americans Three Times Over
“The sheer scope of the destruction may be couched in statistics, but it can be seen in empty storefronts, deserted streets, and food bank lines in cities across the country. It’s an act of economic warfare with no precedent in our history waged against a very particular group.”
(Daniel Greenfield – FrontPage Magazine) Americans have $1.3 trillion in personal savings. A study published in The Economics of Disasters and Climate Change found that the coronavirus pandemic will result in between $3.2 trillion to $4.8 trillion in GDP losses. That approaches the economic output of Japan. Continue reading
New Analysis Finds Mask Mandates Not Stopping CCP Virus Surge
“Governments should undertake more effective interventions. These include adopting better measures to protect nursing home residents, enabling nationwide screening through the widespread use of rapid self-tests, and establishing voluntary isolation centers where infected people can recover, rather than exposing their families to infection.”
(Mark Tapscott – Epoch News) There may be more effective interventions to control the spread of the CCP virus in the United States and elsewhere than government-ordered mask mandates, the authors of a new study say. Continue reading
Oregon Mayor Leads the Charge to Open Businesses on Jan 1, Despite Lockdowns
They told me they feel like they have a gun to their head,” Pulliam said. “They’re down two days to be able to open or we’re going to lose them forever—or they take this very courageous stance and reopen.”
(Jeff Reynolds – PJ Media) The mayor of a small town in Oregon has had enough. Stan Pulliam, the Republican mayor of Sandy, Oregon, has heard from business owners. He’s heard from citizens. He’s even heard from the governor. He has asked the question, over and over, where’s the evidence that lockdowns and the related economic devastation has worked to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic? Continue reading
‘Christian Nationalism’ Is the Left’s Latest Weapon for Excluding 74 Million Americans From the Public Square
“Christian Nationalism” essentially is just another way of saying white evangelicals, who make up about a fourth of the American voting population, are bigots and racists. Another heaping helping of critical race theory, anybody?
(Mark Tapscott – PJ Media) If it seems that you have been hearing or reading the term “Christian Nationalism,” or one of its obscure variants like “Christian Dominionist,” a lot more often recently, it’s because you have. Continue reading
Rick Warren Blasts Christians for Having No Discernment and Not Caring about Black People
“What I see is a lot of people only care about Black people if they’re in the womb. They don’t care about Black people once they’re born.”
(Protestia) Saddleback Pastor Rick Warren, acting like he didn’t give us the monstrosity of the purpose-driven life, did an interview with Steven Strang of Relevant Magazine where he discussed issues of social justice and discernment.
Speaking candidly, he unloaded on Christians for not caring about black people after they are born, suggested they’re engaging in subtle racism, and decried many of them as not having discernment or a biblical worldview when it came to who they voted for. Continue reading
PA GOP: 2020 Election Numbers ‘Don’t Add Up,’ Certification of Presidential Results ‘In Error’
“These numbers just don’t add up, and the alleged certification of Pennsylvania’s presidential election results was absolutely premature, unconfirmed, and in error.”
(Debra Heine – American Greatness) A group of Republican Pennsylvania state lawmakers announced Monday that the certified results of the 2020 election for president in the Keystone State were off by more than 200,000 votes—more than twice the margin of Biden’s alleged victory. Continue reading
Seems Legit: Chinese State-Run Media Steps Up and Defends Swalwell
“The Global Times story reads like a parody of a mainstream media story, complete with an anonymous source who just happens to confirm everything the CCP wanted to say.”
(Bryan Preston – PJ Media) There are two kinds of Chinese media: the actual, state-run media that answers to the Chinese Communist Party, and the U.S. and other Western media that rent themselves out to the CCP’s interests. This story focuses on the former.
Axios reported earlier this month that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) had a relationship with a woman who turned out to be a spy for China’s communist government…. Continue reading
TGC’s ‘Best Movies of 2020’ List is Filled With Sexual Scenes, Genitals, and Foul Language
“Several of these movies and other movies not mentioned here contain other graphic scenes including the glorification of violence, drugs and alcohol, and blasphemous foul language.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) It should go without saying that The Gospel Coalition (TGC) has absolutely nothing to do with the gospel or any other biblical teaching or exhortation. The Gospel Coalition is nothing more than an outlet for the carnal consumption of worldly influence into the Church by compromised Evangelicals who are bound together by their propensity toward embracing the culture. It is, in fact, The Gospel-less Coalition. Continue reading
It’s well past time for Pat Robertson to ‘move on’
“It is at best an embarrassment on par with fellow televangelist Rick Wiles and his meatless burger conspiracy, Paula White’s incoherent babbling, and Kenneth Copeland’s freakish laughing fits. At worst, it’s blasphemy.”
(Peter Heck – Disrn) I admit to always cringing a little bit whenever I see the name Pat Robertson appear in a headline. The 90-year-old televangelist and founder of “The 700 Club” has developed a terrible habit through the years of making brash predictions and inexcusably tying God’s name to them. Continue reading
Congressional exposure of Bidens’ ‘foreign entanglements’ neutralized blackmail risk
The “Bidens were never targeted” by his investigation into Hunter Biden, but the family “put a target on their back through their conflict of interest.”
(John Solomon – Just the News) Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) believes the public exposure of information pertaining to Biden family foreign financial entanglements has benefited U.S. national security because that information can no longer be leveraged by foreign nations. Continue reading
Heroes, Villains, and Victims of the 2020 Horror Show
Who were the year’s heroes, its villains and, above all, its victims? And which figure in American politics fits the bill for all three?
(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) The year began with so much optimism.
Record low unemployment, rising wages, and a strong stock market buoyed the outlook for business owners and consumers alike. The president earned all-time high approval ratings following the Democrats’ impeachment farce. In February 2020, Republicans enjoyed a seven-point lead over Democrats in party affiliation, an advantage the GOP hadn’t seen in at least 15 years…. Continue reading
‘A Direct and Severe Violation’: Court Strikes Cuomo’s COVID-19 Orders on Churches, Synagogues
(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media) On Monday, a panel of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an injunction against Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-N.Y.) COVID-19 orders placing strict limits on houses of worship in hot spots. The 2nd Circuit panel agreed with the Supreme Court that Cuomo’s order likely does not satisfy the high standard of strict scrutiny and therefore violates the First Amendment.
“No public interest is served by maintaining an unconstitutional policy when constitutional alternatives are available to achieve the same goal,” Judge Michael Park wrote in the opinion…. Continue reading
Ravi Zacharias Ministries Branch in UK Calls on U.S. Board to ‘Reform Radically’ for Betraying and Misleading the Public
The U.K. Board also acknowledged that the situation has been difficult for staff and “some are concerned that their credibility is being affected and their own reputations are being damaged by events that are outside their control.”
(Julie Roys – Roys Report) The board of Zacharias Trust—the U.K. branch of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM)—is calling on RZIM’s U.S. board to “reform radically the governance, leadership and accountability of the RZIM organization globally.” The U.K. Board also says the alleged victims of RZIM founder, Ravi Zacharias, deserve a “profound apology.” Continue reading
‘Lethal’ critical race theory judges skin color rather than character
“Woodson condemned academics who allowed the concepts of critical race theory to percolate through on-campus debates but are now banning dissenters who reject the theory’s central tenets.”
(Carrie Sheffield – Just the News) Critical race theory is “lethal” to society because it defines people by their race rather than the content of their character, according to African-American conservative activist Bob Woodson.
Critical race theory holds that American society is pervaded by institutional racism rooted in “white privilege” and “white supremacy” that marginalizes people of color, whether consciously or not. Continue reading
The Gospel of Racism is Harming the True Gospel Message
“I think Black Lives Matter is a demonic joke straight out of the pit of hell. Black lives only matter if white people are involved. If 60 black youths are killed during a July 4th weekend, the world’s media don’t care. If some celebrity was found to pose in black-face 30 years ago, the press would circle them like sharks.”
(Rapture Ready) Racial strife in America has reached such dangerous levels, we are likely headed to an uproar that will rival this summer’s Black Lives Matter riots. There are now millions of people who are so delusional about racism, they think we are living in the most oppressive time in our nation’s history. Continue reading
330,000 Americans Die ‘With’ China Coronavirus – CDC says Number Who Died ‘From’ Coronavirus Is Much Less, Around 6 Percent
(Joe Hoft – Gateway Pundit) On Christmas Day the government’s television channel, PBS, reported on the the China coronavirus first thing. This is all they talk about but they never mention China, they label the pandemic COVID-19:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made the announcement last night to help prevent the spread of new highly contagious COVID variants in Britain. That comes as the U.S. death toll surpassed 330,000. And hospitalizations nationwide hit a new record high yesterday, more than 120,000. Continue reading
Rubio is right: Fauci has repeatedly lied because he thinks you’re stupid
“Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”
(Tina Lowe – Washington Examiner) Nearly a year into our 15 days to slow the spread, our political class still refuses to call out our supposed medical experts for repeatedly discrediting themselves with noble lie after noble lie. Finally, Sen. Marco Rubio has rightly called out Anthony Fauci for lying to the public because our ruling class believes us plebians to be too stupid to understand the actual science about the coronavirus. Continue reading
The Stealing of the Presidency, 2020
“Looking at all eight of these issues together, our poll found that a total of 17% of Biden’s voters told us they would have changed their vote if they had been aware of one or more of these important stories.”
(Rich Noyes – News Busters) The left-wing news media didn’t just poison the information environment with their incessantly negative coverage of President Trump going into the 2020 election. They also refused to give airtime to important arguments of the Republican campaign — both pro-Trump and anti-Biden — which meant millions of voters cast their ballots knowing only what the media permitted them to know about the candidates. Continue reading
7 Ways Governments Used the Coronavirus Pandemic to Crush Human Rights
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito warned in November that the pandemic imposed “previously unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty, from freedom of speech down to the right to a speedy trial, since almost every activity involving human contact has been restricted.”
(John Hayward – Breitbart) Human rights activists were generally downbeat about the global state of affairs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, often pointing to 2020 as one of the worst years in memory for declining civil liberties. Continue reading
Study finds new COVID-19 strain is 56 percent more contagious
“It may be necessary to greatly accelerate vaccine rollout.”
(Cameron Jenkins – The Hill) A new study released by a team of British scientists suggests that a coronavirus variant that was recently discovered in England is 56 percent more contagious than the original strain.
The study, released by the Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, noted that while the data suggests that the new variant is more contagious, there are no results showing it to be more deadly, The New York Times reported. Continue reading
A battle against lies
“As we see possible parallels between the fates of Nixon and Trump, Postgate author John O’Conner and others are being featured in the film “Plot Against the President” about how the intelligence community targeted Trump in much the same way they brought down Nixon.”
(Cliff Kincaid – Renew America) The Christian existentialist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote about the corruption in the Danish State Church, declaring that everyone knew privately that the system was rotten and corrupt but they would not say so publicly. “Just as one says that death has marked a man, so we recognize the symptoms which demand to be attacked. It is a battle against lies,” he said. Continue reading
Why Do We Continue to Follow Nonsensical COVID Rules?
The political, social, and economic devastation we are suffering is not caused by a virus “with a survival rate of well over 99%,” but by a political and financial class—international oligarchs—seeking absolute power via “a weaponized virus from China.” But we go along with it, dutifully obeying the mandates, as if we were characters in A Midsummer Night’s Dream bewitched by fairies and spells. “Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
(David Solway – PJ Media) The only demonstrable result of government-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns has been the destruction of national economies, the crippling of domestic and cultural life, the suffering and death of multitudes due to untreated prior medical conditions, and the drastic rise in suicide rates….
