DISASTER: Biden Completely Disconnected From Reality in ABC Interview

“Stephanopoulos introduced the interview by claiming there had been “no cuts, no edits” to the video. “We have not touched it.” There was really no need. There was no way to pretty up the pig tonight.”

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) We got the first clue that something was very wrong when ABC News aired a clip of Joe Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

The partisan Democrat interviewer asked Biden why his debate performance was so bad after six days of rest at Camp David. Biden threw out some prepared talking points:… Continue reading

Save the Planet, Ditch Your Pets?

“Pierce’s take…could also be construed as another form of the oppressor vs. oppressed worldview — humans are the oppressors in this dynamic, and pets are the oppressed.”

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) TIME magazine recently published a piece by a bioethicist (red flag right there) named Jessica Pierce, who lays out the case against the practice of keeping pets. Pierce argues that, at its core, pet-keeping is hedonistic.

Her argument: It’s self-gratification because we love animals and they provide companionship, but what do pets get out of it?… Continue reading

From Fauci to Levine, feds covertly bend science to politics on COVID origin, gender confusion

“The most senior transgender official in the U.S. government was bearing down on WPATH to finish SOC 8 and ditch the draft’s age minimums of 14-17 for various hormonal and surgical procedures including castration and mastectomy.”

(Greg Piper – Just the News) Federal pressure on private parties to squelch challenges to Biden administration narratives, tacitly tolerated by the Supreme Court in a decision last month making it harder for social media users to sue public officials, goes beyond COVID-19, elections and Hunter Biden’s laptop. Continue reading

How the Huffington Post Delivered the Final Nail in the Coffin of the Biden ‘Cheap Fake’ Narrative

“Given the president’s concerning performance last week, it’s time for the Biden campaign to consider leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to effectively reach the voting public.”  

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) With Joe Biden’s mental health becoming a top 2024 issue, Democrats are in a bind. The June 27 debate was an unspinnable disaster. Biden can’t de-age, and it’s unlikely he’ll get better as the campaign season becomes even more grueling. He was still gassed after nearly two weeks of rest and vacation following two rudimentary presidential trips overseas before the debate and still got destroyed by Donald Trump…. Continue reading

Independance Day

(Mark Alexander – The Patriot Post) “Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” —Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms (1775)

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” Continue reading

How (and How Not) to Wait

“Biblical waiting involves embracing that you’re not in control, but you can talk to the one who is. You don’t know what’s going on, so you seek the one who does.”

(Mark Vroegop) Do you know anyone who likes to wait? I don’t.

If you were to take a quick survey, there’d be a strong consensus that waiting is difficult, annoying, or downright bad. Waiting should be avoided and not affirmed, right? Everyone knows that! Continue reading

Scott Jennings Lays Out What the ‘Big Lie’ for 2024 Is

“I’ve honestly stopped worrying about the campaign and I have one question. Who is running the White House today? Who is making decisions today? I’m not really worried about the presidency in January. I’m worried about it right now. We have serious problems going on right now and I don’t really think Joe Biden is up to the task today, let alone seven months from today.”

(Rebecca Downs – Townhall) Scott Jennings has provided a thoughtful and much needed conservative voice to CNN, who is often validated with his points about President Joe Biden’s decline. On Wednesday morning during “CNN News Central,” he pointed out the shameful “big lie” that has been going on this election cycle when it comes to gaslighting about the president’s mental acuity. Continue reading

BioLogos: The Deceptive Agenda to Undermine Biblical Truth with Evolutionary Mythology

“BioLogos, along with its figureheads like the late Tim Keller and Francis Collins, is actively working to erode the foundation of Christianity. They promote a version of faith that is palatable to the secular world but utterly devoid of the power of the gospel. These so-called Evangelical leaders are nothing more than wolves in sheep’s clothing, spreading false teachings that lead people away from God….”

(The Dissenter) This morning, I ran across an article by Gregory Adaka on BioLogos that claims you can reconcile faith in the living God with the religion of evolution—an increasingly popular claim in Christendom, yet a claim that is as absurd as it is dangerous. Continue reading

Jill Biden Has to Answer for Lies

(Mark Swanson – Newsmax) Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, told Newsmax on Tuesday that first lady Jill Biden has to answer for “lying” to the American people about her husband’s cognitive decline.

But the bigger issue, Leavitt told “Prime News,” is that as her husband’s caretaker, it’s incumbent on Jill Biden to convince President Joe Biden to step down as the party’s nominee. Instead, it’s more likely she and the president’s family will “shuffle him over the finish line in November.” Continue reading

Pfizer, Moderna to Develop mRNA Vax for Imaginary Flu Pandemic

(Mary Dowling) Pfizer and Moderna are preparing for the imaginary “influenza pandemic” with an mRNA vaccine. The Biden regime is giving Moderna $176 million to develop the shot.

The vaccine will also treat bird flu in humans, which is currently no problem. Since humans already have a bird flu vaccine, they’ll just adopt it. It will cost millions in tax dollars.

The US taxpayer is keeping Moderna afloat. It relies on the government, which is never a good thing for healthcare. Continue reading

Are you on the right path?

23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. 25 For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. Luke 9:23-26 (LSB) 

When I was in my 20’s I made a commitment to become fit enough to run one mile in under 5 minutes, run 5 Kilometers in under 18 minutes, run 5 miles in under 30 minutes, run 10 Kilometers in under 37 minutes, and run 10 miles in under an hour. By the time I was 33 years old I had accomplished the first three. I had missed my goal for the 10K by less than a minute, however, my best time for a 10 mile race was 1 hour and 4 minutes….

Andy Stanley, Referring to Himself as ‘Theologically Conservative,’ Defends Rick Warren Against the SBC

“Trying to make it sound like the only reason Rick Warren ordained women to the pastorate was for “tax benefits,” he then goes on to start his diatribe against Southern Baptists and defense of Warren…”

(The Dissenter) As we’ve reported here at The Dissenter many times over the years, Andy Stanley, the liberal, LGBTQ-affirming, Scripture-twisting false pastor extraordinaire, has once again proven that theological acrobatics and doctrinal contortionism are alive and well in modern evangelicalism. Continue reading

40 Church and Ministry Leaders’ Beach Houses, Beach Condos and Waterfront Homes Identified; Their Total Net Worth Is $140 Million

“The accumulation of wealth by America’s religious leaders is an under-reported story because few religion reporters engage in data journalism. To understand the big picture requires identifying the property assets of hundreds of pastors and ministry leaders to build an informative data set. Adding to the challenge, the most expensive real estate is often hidden in trusts or shell companies and privacy laws in some states complicate the process of identifying property owners. Informants have played an important role in identifying and confirming some of the properties.”

(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) Beach houses and beach condos along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts have become the vacation homes of choice for America’s wealthiest pastors.

In 2017, Joel Osteen purchased a beach house in Newport Coast, California, for $5 million. Recently, the Redfin real estate website estimated Osteen’s second home to be worth $11 million. Continue reading

What is the basis for your hope?

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing for you to abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)

The concept of “hope” as it is viewed in the world today, and, sadly, by much of what calls itself “Christian” is an expression of a wish or a want, such as, “I sure do hope I get…,” or “I sure hope I do not get…” In this, there is no certainty in the usage of the word “hope.” However, in the passage above (Romans 15:13) for example, the Greek noun which is the lexical root for both ἐλπίδος (elpidos) and ἐλπίδι (elpidi), which is ἐλπίς (elpis) speaks of a “desire of some good with expectation of obtaining it.”….

Why is darkness settling over our land, and what can we do?

“While we may notice only the seen world, this battle in the heavenly realm is just as real as the earthly. Many dismiss this evaluation as fictional and childish, perhaps even comical. This is just as Satan desires. We must look deeper with Biblical insight and spiritual eyes. Wise men and women of God know that the true followers of Christ are both the objects of Satan’s attacks and the warriors in the King’s army.”

(Bill Elliff) How do we interpret the increasing evil around us? The depraved thinking that shouts wrong as right? The diabolical deception wrapping its tentacles around our children? The sexual depravity that is not only openly practiced but promoted, applauded, and exported? The rapid rise of violence and crime? Once beautiful and orderly cities spiraling into anarchy and chaos? Continue reading

God’s Most Favored Nation

“These despicable people are putting their own venal wants above the good of the nation.  They all know Biden’s mental state is putting the nation in danger. As a believer, I, like the crafters of the Declaration of Independence, believe God has imposed the most favored nation status on the United States.  That’s what we celebrate on July 4: freedom granted to us as a human right.”

(Bill O’Reilly) So what now?  The world’s most powerful country finds itself in a political conundrum.  President Biden has been unmasked before the entire world.  What was definitively known by only a few Biden insiders is now an undeniable fact: the most powerful man in the world is mentally diminished beyond fixing. Continue reading

Tucker Carlson on the Democrat Open Convention to Come

“Jill and the Biden family plan to continue on, but if his poll numbers prove he can’t win, anything could happen at the August convention. They could hand-pick the next president.”

(Mary Dowling) Some California donors to Joe Biden said to stick with Joe since they aren’t electing just one but many. They are voting for a “team,” suggesting Democrats know he’s a figurehead and we are run by an unaccountable team propping him up.

Tucker has a different perspective. Continue reading

Former White House Aides Go Rogue, Expose How Biden’s Decline Was Kept Hidden

“That change, of course, this late in the game can’t happen unless it comes from the top. That’s why I feel it’s critically important that the people around him are honest with themselves and the American people.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) We know about the shorter stairs Joe Biden uses to board and deplane Air Force One and the special shoes he wears. But according to a new report, Biden’s disastrous debate performance caught even many White House staffers off guard. Continue reading

SCOTUS Rules on Trump’s Immunity From Prosecution

Julie Kelly: Not only does this passage blow a major hole in Jack Smith’s J6 indictment but eviscerates the “insurrection” narrative. (link below)

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 – citing Article II of the U.S. Constitution – that former President Donald Trump in his official capacity, and more broadly the office of the United States presidency, has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion and was joined by Justices Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Justices Elena Kagan, Kentanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. Continue reading

Do Not Love the World

1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice—living, holy, and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may approve what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:1-2 (LSB) 

One of the markers of genuineness in a Christian is separation from the World. However, his isn’t a physical removal from planet Earth or a disintegration of the body of a Christian. Instead, a genuine Christian’s character should be in a continual upgrade unto Christlikeness…. Continue reading

Abide in Christ

4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit from itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. John 15:4-6 (LSB) 

As I sat down to put this post together I became convinced that I should write about the number one marker that reveals the authenticity of Christians. That is that genuine believers in our Lord Jesus Christ abide in Him and do not fall away…. Continue reading

On Roman Catholicism vs The Gospel: Why We Draw the Line at Justification

“We cannot stand with Roman Catholics, Modalists, Prosperity Gospel preachers, many Charismatics, and adherents to doctrines that pervert the grace of God and reject the doctrine of the penal substitutionary atonement. Jude 1:4 says these people who deny our Master are condemned. Scripture is very clear that we should not associate with these people.”

(The Dissenter) When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. —Winston Churchill

In the Christian world, there is a massive assault on denominations and doctrinal divide. After all, we’re all believers and followers of Jesus Christ, right? If so, what’s the purpose of division? Why can’t we just all suck it up and get along? Doesn’t Jesus want us to be united (Philippians 2:2)? 1 Peter 3:8 says, Continue reading

Barack Obama Weighs in on Joe Biden’s ‘Bad Debate Night’ + Biden’s 15 lies

“Biden didn’t just have a bad night. Obama thinks we’re all stupid. Biden is on his way out mentally and perhaps physically. He is unfit, yet Obama doesn’t give a hoot because all that matters is the Marxist ideology.”

(Mary Dowling) Former president Barack Obama weighed in on Joe Biden’s historically humiliating performance last night, commiserating with Joe, saying, “Bad debate nights happen.”

“Bad debate nights happen,” Barack posted on X. “Trust me, I know…. Continue reading

Bill Johnson Says The Gospel Must Be Accompanied By Signs and Wonders in Order to Be ‘Fully Preached’

Is there no end to Bill Johnson’s heretical teaching? At this point No! I warned you in Bethel Redding is a Shark Tank – Woe to Bethel that the “church” in Redding CA is operated by “soothsayers who think nothing of manipulating people out of their hard-earned money to grow their demonic empire–oops–church. These men and women think nothing of twisting Scripture into a theological pretzel, in fact Scripture-twisting is what they do best. Churchgoers may or may not be aware that what they’re being taught is not orthodox biblical Christianity. On the contrary. What they’re being taught is downright heresy!” Now we learn that “Apostle” Bill Johnson is leading his congregation deeper and deeper into deception. Protestia has the report: Continue reading

Tractor Supply Releases Statement, Abandons Support for LGBTQ Movement, DEI Initiatives, and Other Leftist Causes

This is a company that either seems to understand the values of its customer base—the hardworking people who feed America and keep rural communities thriving—or simply doesn’t want to be the next Target™

(The Dissenter) Corporate America has largely abandoned the average American to embrace the petty causes of far-left special interest groups. But one company is taking a stand. Tractor Supply Co., a breath of fresh air and common sense in the midst of corporate insanity, says it has listened to the voices of its loyal customers and decided to reject the leftist agenda that has plagued so many businesses.
