“After the hearing, Chairman James Comer and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin wrote a joint letter to Cheatle calling for her resignation.”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) After overseeing the worst security failure in the past four decades, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned.
The decision comes more than a week after an attempted assassin shot former President Donald Trump in the ear from an unsecured rooftop during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Continue reading
“In a list of all 100 senators in 2019, Harris scored #100, winning the title of the most leftist senator. For greater perspective, Sanders came in right behind her at #99.”
(Hannah Knudsen – Breitbart) Vice President Kamala Harris was rated the most liberal senator in 2019 — further left than even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — according to a GovTrack scorecard.
Harris, whom President Joe Biden opted to back after announcing that he will not seek reelection after all, was viewed as the most liberal senator prior to her becoming vice president. Continue reading
Update below.
“ERLC head Brent Leatherwood offered the same talking points as the left-wing media and Democrat Party, telling Baptist Press that Biden “walked away from power” in a “selfless act.” Leatherwood then gave further life to this lie in an essay that compared the Oval Office being pried from Biden’s desperate, bony fingers to Calvin Coolidge’s measured choice not to run again though Coolidge enjoyed enough popularity to win reelection handily.”
(Megan Basham – Clear Truth Media) Immediately after Joe Biden posted a statement on social media Sunday announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race, Democrats, the media, and Hollywood pretended it was the result of selflessness rather than political assassination. Continue reading
4 So Samuel did what Yahweh said and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, “Do you come in peace?” 5 And he said, “In peace; I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Set yourselves apart as holy and come with me to the sacrifice.” He also set apart Jesse and his sons as holy and invited them to the sacrifice. 6 Now it happened, when they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, “Surely the anointed of Yahweh is before Him.” 7 But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:4-7 (LSB)
In our study of God’s sovereignty in the suffering of His people from the book of Job, let’s look at Job and his family before affliction overtook them. However, before we look at that please look closely at the passage I placed at the top of this post. Samuel, by God’s direction, went to Bethlehem to anoint the next king of Israel from the sons of Jesse…. Continue reading
“Democrats aren’t worried that Biden’s cognitive decline is a real, serious, and immediate threat to national security. They only fretted about Biden’s electoral ability to carry a far-left administration forward for another term.”
(Tristan Justice – The Federalist) Democrats just spent years grandstanding on “democracy” and then dismissed more than 14 million voters who nominated President Joe Biden for a second term.
On Sunday, the Democrat Party’s presumptive nominee was “deposed in a coup,” as tech billionaire David Sacks said it, at the direction of former President Barack Obama, who was obviously behind the entire operation…. Continue reading
“Is he so far gone at this point that he has to be kept under wraps while others, presumably the people who have been running this administration from the beginning, make decisions in his name? That wouldn’t be too different from how things have been going, but up until now, Old Joe has, however ineptly, been performing his duties as the front man. Now, for his most important announcement of this election campaign, he is nowhere in sight and all we get is a letter on X?”
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Old Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday afternoon. Everyone saw his post on X. In a follow-up message on X, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential nomination, and Democrat leaders began lining up (with the notable exception of Barack Obama) to endorse her. The controversy over Biden’s dementia and ability to perform the duties of president appears to be over, although the nagging and quite large issue remains of whether he is able to perform the duties of president for the next seven months. And yet almost immediately, questions about the way Biden withdrew began to swirl, including the basic one: did he really withdraw at all? Continue reading
“The GOP is doing its best this year to embody the coexist bumper sticker, and while I’m no political expert, I’m very certain of this truth: pagans gonna pagan. My contention is that no mature believer should be the least surprised by this.”
(Mike Edwards – Clear Truth Media) The 2024 Republican National Convention took place this week and, for some reason, many Christians were under the impression that a Christian worship service was the order of the day. But instead of Chris Tomlin coming out and singing “How Great is Our God,” delegates and other attendees got a steady influx of the likes of reality TV stars such as Amber Rose – also equally known for her coarse language when advocating for abortion – showing their support for Trump. Continue reading
“They saw the videos we saw, and then they lied about them to protect a man they knew wasn’t fit to serve as president. What’s more, they saw Biden a lot more than we did. They saw him at political events, at gatherings… They saw him at the White House… They talked to the people around them… They knew more than we did and still they covered up this obvious danger to our country.”
(John Nolte – Breitbart) Joe Biden himself finally admitting he is in no condition to run for reelection is the smoking gun that definitively proves the corporate media have been lying and covering up the truth of his condition for years. Continue reading
7 Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions and hardships, for the sake of Christ, for when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (LSB) Read Philippians 4:10-13 on the site.
I believe that what ails the visible Church the most at this time in the early 21st Century is actually the root of most, if not all, of the growing apostasy we are witnessing. This ailment is the product of decades of poor doctrine and man-serving preaching and teaching…. Continue reading
“Although we rejoice in Christ’s victory over the grave, we nevertheless fear death. Christians are not guaranteed exemption from a painful death. Nevertheless, the thought of death often brings fear for Christians and non-Christians alike. That fear is bound up with the question of what happens after death.”
(R.C. Sproul – Ligonier Ministries) Death is the greatest problem human beings encounter. We may try to tuck thoughts of it away in the far corners of our minds, but we cannot completely erase our awareness of our mortality. We know that the specter of death awaits us.
The Apostle Paul writes: Continue reading
“One of the psychological attractions of conspiracy theories is the same thing that attracts people to Gnosticism: the thrill of secret knowledge, knowing something that mere ordinary people do not know. This is part of the attraction of movements like QAnon.”
(R. Scott Clark – The Heidelblog) There is a risk in writing about fast-changing news. As of this writing, we do not know why a disturbed young man tried to murder the former president of the United States. He appears to have been a loner, bullied, who lashed out by climbing upon an unguarded roof about 150 yards from Donald Trump. His shot missed Mr Trump but he murdered someone in the crowd behind Mr Trump and injured others. Continue reading
“A Wall Street Journal report notes that the killer had a drone that he used to survey the property. Meanwhile, the Secret Service did not have a drone.”
(Mary Dowling) If you think this catastrophic Secret Service failure can’t get worse, think again. This is what happens when you put Jill Biden’s sociologist friend Kim Cheatle in charge of the Secret Service. Cheatle also protected Dick Cheney who hates the former president. Continue reading
24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 And He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU WORKERS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.’ Luke 13:24-30 (LSB) Read verses 28-30 on the site.
Many who believe they are Christians are not. They have a form of righteousness, but it is not the righteousness born from above. It is self-righteousness. One group that contended with John the Baptist, our Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples, was the Pharisees…. Continue reading
“Conservatives previously criticized the new platform for removing almost all language opposed to abortion, as well as adding language in favor of access to all forms of birth control and IVF….”
(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) Log Cabin Republicans, a coalition of Republicans in favor of homosexuality and transgenderism, celebrated the adoption of a new Republican Party platform on Monday which removes most references to marriage and all policy recommendations to defend the institution. Continue reading
“The “no creed but the Bible” slogan may have its roots in the Stone-Campbellite movement, but its influence certainly did not remain there. American culture quite tangibly venerates the autonomous human will, the idol our culture has chosen to worship with a fiercely affectionate fidelity. But should such voluntarism and self-rule find its home within the church?”
(Josh Howard – Clear Truth Media) The term “democracy” is often liberally thrown about and can serve as a shorthand for the people’s will in action. At its best, democracy amplifies individual voices, but at its worst it can turn the individual into God, and in our secular age, it often looks like the latter. When God is removed as the transcendent reference point of the system, the system does not end up with no god, but with a new one: people seeking individual self-gratification as its ideal. Though Christianity may endure democracy, how could democracy hope to survive without Christianity? Continue reading
(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) It’s difficult to describe historical moments as they’re unfolding, but let me hazard a few initial observations about former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night.
Watching a presidential candidate (and former president) describe his near-assassination less than a week after a bullet came within millimeters of ending his life is quite simply the most captivating, awe-inspiring thing that has ever happened at a political convention in this country.
“I will tell you exactly what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time because it’s actually too painful to tell,” Trump said. Continue reading
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, and taking them out, he said, 20 “Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life.” Acts 5:19-20 (LSB)
6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight— 8 we are of good courage and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 (LSB)
Learning, knowing, and then responding according to God’s will to His truth is NEVER done subjectively. No, we are told that those who are truly in Christ walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:6). To do this we must know God’s truth and respond by faith and this is not done through mysticism or feelings…. Continue reading
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) JD Vance being called to serve as Trump’s running mate is not without detractors. The main detractors are the Groypers and the Classical Liberals/Neocons. With that said, the messaging of JD Vance has been consistent, in that he is intended to resonate with the forgotten American who has a high view of America as a homeland. Regardless of Vance’s flaws, where he seems most effective for the long term, is his ability to destroy the Proposition Nation. Continue reading
“Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have remained silent, as has former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but their former aides have been speaking out, slamming Biden publicly.”
(Sandy Fitzgerald – Newsmax) Top Democrats are saying that the growing pressure from congressional leaders and close friends will convince President Joe Biden to drop his reelection bid, potentially as soon as this weekend. Biden has continued to insist publicly that he’s staying in the race, but it’s a different story in private, Axios’ Jim Vanderhei and Mike Allen reported Thursday. Continue reading
Sen. Marsha Blackburn says she was “appalled to learn the Secret Service knew about a threat prior to President Trump walking on stage. I have no confidence in the leadership of Director Cheatle and believe it is in the best interest of our nation if she steps down from her position.”
(Mary Dowling) The failures at the Saturday rally are getting worse. The new timeline is as bad as it could be. ABC News confirmed that the assassin was on the roof for twenty minutes before the sniper shot him, and only after the assassin shot first. Why wasn’t the sniper able to shoot? Continue reading
While you read this piece and watch the video clips below, keep in mind that the president of the United States is considered to be the leader of the free world.
(Mary Dowling) In an article at Puck News, Julia Ioffe wrote that she listened in on part of a Zoom call with the White House. During the call, they discussed their concern that Biden can’t win and will take them all down.
This is why we can’t hear the audio of the Robert Hur interview:… Continue reading
(Joy Pullmann – The Federalist) It’s clear by now that the U.S. Secret Service is not a very elite security detail. Random, weaponless rallygoers paid more serious attention to the would-be assassin before he fired than the allegedly professional team assigned to Donald Trump on Saturday. Trump’s security detail did not secure him. Someone else did.
The Person who saved Trump’s life — and our nation from dangerous social unrest — is Jesus Christ. It is not random that wind gusts were present in just the right amount to have shifted the bullet’s course from fatal to flesh wound. It is not accidental that Trump turned his head at precisely the right second to avoid sudden death. Continue reading
“Democrats have a problem called Jill Biden. The trappings of the presidency will be taken from her cold, dead fingers. ‘Joe isn’t just the right person for the job,’ she hollered after the [Trump/Biden] debate. ‘He’s the only person for the job.’ What a knife in the back of Kamala Harris.”
(Emmy Griffith – The Patriot Post) Word on the street is that the only reason President Joe Biden isn’t backing down from the presidential race is because of a grudge held by his wife, Jill. Apparently, Dr. Jill™ is adamantly against Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the next Democrat nominee. Continue reading
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions; for their females exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the males abandoned the natural function of the female and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. Romans 1:26-27 (LSB)
My friend the late Ken Silva told me back in 2010 that the Postmodern paradigm sees, “… affirming gays as liberating them from their oppressors…” This postmodern mindset is deeply engrained in what is known as Emergence Christianity. This is why its leaders nearly all line up and stand with their “gay friends” in support and do not attempt to get them to repent of their sin because they actually believe that a person can be a practicing homosexual and a good Christian at the same time…. Continue reading
“Language matters, and while both sides are quite capable (and often guilty) of using overheated and violent language, the political left in the United States has demonized Donald Trump and has fueled the atmosphere of violent language and imagery. Biden’s language of putting a “bullseye” on Trump is perhaps the clearest example. That language has not aged well, to say the least.”
(Albert Mohler) The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump represents one of those rare historical moments when fundamental truths are clarified. Yesterday’s attack at President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania shocked the nation and the watching world, and it instantly revealed so many essential truths. Continue reading
