“Reinforcing this commitment, Secretary Austin has ordered the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN Carrier Strike Group, equipped with F-35C fighters, to accelerate its transit to the Central Command area of responsibility, adding to the capabilities already provided by the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT Carrier Strike Group,” the Defense Department said.

“On July 8, President Joe Biden upped the ante by telling Democrat donors, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”… A mere five days later at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, a young gunman who somehow gained access to an unsecured rooftop with a direct line of sight to his target less than 150 yards away, got off eight shots – right under the noses of the Secret Service – that missed killing the Republican candidate by the thinnest of margins…”
“Yes, American Evangelicalism does have a few Leftist snakes in the grass. They’re passive-aggressive, they gaslight, they sneer, they deflect. Everything they do is designed to give them plausible deniability. They can do this because that’s all they need to do….Their only job is to ridicule the people who are waking up to it…”
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (LSB) 
“Family, friends, food – these are all good things. And yet they cannot be the ultimate source of our joy. It must go deeper than that, and because of God’s mercy, He has given us the true reservoir or joy. It is in Him. Trials, because of their very nature, threaten our temporal sources of joy, and therefore give us an opportunity to clarify to ourselves where our ultimate joy lies.”
“Catechesis is about teaching the fundamentals of the faith. It is simple but not simplistic, thoughtful but not arcane, practical but not pragmatic. It focuses less on speculative aspects of theology or ‘hot topics’ and more on providing the basic categories in which Christianity is understood and lived. It provides us the grammar to speak to God and neighbor in a genuinely Christian way.”
“Flaherty said “misinformation narratives” include “conversation online about corruption or mental fitness…or [Biden’s] record on the Crime Bill”—effectively defining “misinformation” as anything that the Biden team found inconvenient.”
“For years, I have expressed alarm at the special treatment afforded to Hunter Biden on the charges. Many of us have also criticized Weiss for allowing the most serious tax charges to expire despite being able to extend the statute of limitations. He has yet to offer a compelling reason why prosecutors would ever allow viable felony charges to expire when they could have extended that period.”
“The difference between most modern-day ‘gospel’ preaching and the apostles’ was that theirs actually took some guts. Indeed, the words ‘bold’ or ‘boldness’ are found 13 times in Acts, each time referring to speaking to people. And it is a trait that is markedly absent from the church today.”
(Sean Fleetwood – The Federalist) As part of their embarrassing smear campaign against Republicans worried about the integrity of America’s elections, legacy media have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to convince the country that foreign nationals interfering in the U.S. electoral system is a nonexistent problem.

“Basham’s book has blown the whistle – not for progressives in mainline churches waving trans flags – but for traditional evangelicals discovering they’ve been the frogs in progressive evangelicalism’s slow boil. These churchgoers thought their leaders were stomping on the cultural brakes as the country careened towards the socialist cliff, but now see that not only are many leaders not braking, they are actually stepping on the gas.”
Jacqui Lews, promoted by Jemar Tisby, says the reason Christians care about homosexuality but not eating pork is because there is a lot of money in pork. She says Jesus and the Jews were “not obsessed with the bedroom.”
“If queers mocking the Lord’s Supper and a decapitated singing head are the things that France—or at least her officer class—consider to represent her, then things have surely taken a most dark turn. “This is France,” tweeted President Emmanuel Macron. I hope he was exaggerating.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Certain churches thrive on celebrity culture. We see that after the fall of Robert Morris, Gateway Church turned to celebrity pastors to fill the vacancy and stem the reported loss of membership. And so they turned to 
“Put aside the fact that Donald Trump is an equal opportunity insulter, why would a journalist seeking information not be specific in defining what she sees as a serious problem? That’s not hard. You put names and dates and context in your query. Let the audience clearly understand the issue.”
