“Johnson willingly agreed to continue funding a federal agency working to silence Americans’ speech.”
(Shawn Fleetwood – The Federalist) It’s another day that ends in “-y,” which means House Speaker Mike Johnson is busy stabbing conservative voters in the back.
Following days of backdoor scheming, congressional leaders released the text of their 1,547-page spending measure to fund the federal government through March 2025. Deceptively marketed as a “continuing resolution” or CR, the bill bears all the hallmarks of the bloated omnibus packages Johnson recently promised voters wouldn’t happen under his watch.

“…it’s astonishing it has survived this long in Christian tradition. The line undermines one of the most essential truths about Christ, the hypostatic union—the reality that Jesus was fully God and fully man.”
“Former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly absolutely betrayed the President, but Kelly has no constituency, and neither does Michael Cohen, John Bolton, Anthony Scaramucci, and a few others once close to Trump. They are now wanderers, occasionally used by anti-Trump media in meaningless expositions.”
(Mary Dowling) Pope Francis politicized Christmas with a nativity scene showing Baby Jesus in a keffiyeh, the symbol of protest for pro-Palestinian mobs. Two Palestinian artists created the scene. It is also well-known that Palestinians continually demand Jesus be recognized as Palestinian and not Jewish, which is an inaccurate historical claim. It is also considered antisemitic. After backlash, the keffiyeh was ditched the next day.
“By portraying Judas as a misguided individual rather than a figure driven by deeper motivations, the series has inadvertently diluted the gravity of his betrayal and its divine purpose.” 
“The work that they did in July and August to make up a Kamala Harris who never existed was stunning. The fictions that they spun had no foundations in reality, which is why they are all falling apart so quickly. Perhaps themoc MSM propagandists are finally collapsing from the exhaustion of propping up Biden and Harris for four years.” 
(John Hayward – Breitbart) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been fending off no-confidence votes and calls for his resignation for months, found his position increasingly perilous on Monday following the resignation of his deputy prime minister and minister of finance, Chrystia Freeland.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him in love, 5 by predestining us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He graciously bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our transgressions, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and insight, 9 making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him 10 for an administration of the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth in Him. Ephesians 1:3-14 (LSB) Read verses 11-14, also Romans 8:29-30 on the site. 
(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) Two books, and the 12 Step movement. Beloved by many in the church, yet utterly deceptive. Are the three connected in some way?
“When we sing songs in church, we’re not just making music—we’re teaching, worshiping, and proclaiming truth. What we sing matters. And if we don’t take the time to weigh the words of a song against the Word of God, we risk confusing emotion with truth.”
“How did political leaders not see the carnage BLM was causing? How could big business support this? They saw it and embraced it. Here is why. In 1963, Rep. Albert Herlong (D-Fla.) entered into Congress the 45 Goals of Communism to be achieved in the U.S.A. These goals read like a road map for the carnage caused in 2019-2020.”
(Sam Barron – Newsmax) Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be secretary of defense, is now open to women serving in combat and gays in the military.
“In going woke, Clark sells out her conservative supporters as bad actors. Conservative media correctly noticed what Clark was doing here. Jason Whitlock said of Clark that she sold out her fans. Megyn Kelly said of Clark that she “apologized for being White.” Yet the signs of Clarks liberalism were obvious if people would have eyes to see.”
“Among the roughly 1,500 people granted clemency by the outgoing President Biden were several corrupt local officials, fraudsters, and a crooked judge. Biden also commuted the sentence of a Chinese spy convicted of possessing child pornography.”
“…grip-strength has been hailed as “an indispensable biomarker for older adults”: it’s not that having strong hands is the secret to a long and healthy life, but that people with strong hands are less likely to slip and fall. Plus, they’re probably stronger overall.”
(Jared Moore – Clear Truth Media) In the book of Jonah, we learn of the prophet who fled from God’s command to preach to Nineveh, Israel’s archenemy at the time. God told Jonah to preach of His coming wrath towards Nineveh. But Jonah ran away to Tashish instead. He was later swallowed by a great fish sent by God, vomited up on the shore, and then he went to Nineveh in obedience to God. There, he preached, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown” (Jonah 3:4)! Nineveh responded by repenting and calling out for God’s mercy (Jonah 3:6-10). Therefore, God showed them mercy and spared them. 
“So why does it continue despite experts admitting the recycling they’re demanding is doing more harm than good? It’s because the propaganda worked. People have it fixed in their minds that recycling is everything we’ve been taught, and that every time we do recycle, we’re saving the planet….” 
(Breitbart – Ian Hanchett) On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Belleville, NJ Mayor Michael Melham stated that the drones around the state have to be taken down and stated that there were briefings “that we’ve had Coast Guard working with our New Jersey State Police, our helicopters have seen them. We asked, well, when they go out to sea, are we going to shoot them down?” And they were told the drones wouldn’t be taken down due to fears of what might be on them.
(Mike Solecki – TruthScript) If you’re not familiar with Side “B” ministries let me sum them up in a nutshell. Side “B” ministries are deceptive parachurch organizations that purport to help the church minister more effectively to those who identify as LBGTQ+ and provide guidance for Christian families who have kids identifying as such. They claim to do this without ever compromising Christian orthodoxy, but this notion is untenable because these ministries promote the idea that same-sex attraction is not a morally culpable sin. Therefore it is perfectly acceptable to be a Gay-Christian as long as you stay celibate, ostensibly…. 
(Charlie McCarthy – Newsmax) President-elect Donald Trump prefers not to call his election victory “a comeback,” and said his second White House term could lead to a “Trump dynasty.”
Watch the videos: CNN host wrongly compares Daniel Penny to Luigi Mangione and asks, “Which vigilante action is okay?”
Watch the 2nd video where Sen. Kennedy takes down General Manner.
“It is a welcomed surprise that a movie lionizing a heretic would flop so hard. It was an unexpected win against the Post-War Consensus and its grip on the church. It may also show that our culture is fatigued by WWII movies, or that people are learning the truth of Bonhoeffer and are exercising discernment.”
