The Marxism in Front of You That You Can’t Unsee – Black Lives Shattered

“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.”

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) I remember reading in 2019 that then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, working with then-New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, who hated one another, decided it was a good idea to empty the prisons because there were “too many black men in prison” due to “systemic racism.” This struck me as a horrible idea, yet other left-leaning cities and states soon followed suit.

Hegseth Flip Flops on Women in Combat, Gays in Military

(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.

Hegseth’s reversals come as he attempts to win support from Republican senators amid allegations of alcoholism, financial mismanagement, and sexual misconduct, claims he has denied.

He previously called allowing gays and transgender people to serve in the military part of a “Marxist” agenda but said Thursday he thought gays should serve in the military, Politico reported. Continue reading

The Joy of the Resurrection is found in being a living sacrifice

22 “And therefore, you now have grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice and no one takes your joy from you.” John 16:22 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

According to my stats page, What is Joy?, is by far my most popular post. It was also one of the first ones I wrote when I started this ministry in 2006 and its focus has been the focus I have attempted to maintain since I started, which is the edification of the Body of Christ by pointing all to the true source of our joy instead of what the world attempts to sell us as a replacement, which is just temporal happiness….

Conservative Inc Defends Caitlin Clark’s Wokeness

“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.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Time Magazine feature on Caitlin Clark has many Americans coming to grips with Caitlin Clark being another woke liberal. After years of astroturfing women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark emerged as a marketable figure to boost American interest in the sport…. Continue reading

Lame duck Biden’s clemency acts free an embezzler, corrupt officials, perverts, and fraudsters

“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.”

(Steven Richards – Just the News) President Joe Biden’s pardon and commutation spree this week included granting indulgences for convicted fraudsters and corrupt public officials, a move that will likely sharpen criticism of the outgoing executive’s use of the constitutional power. Continue reading

End of the Line for Nancy Pelosi: Hip Fractures, Mortality Rates, and Father Time

“…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.”

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) The good news is, she’s a wealthy, politically-connected woman. All three matter: when you’re wealthy, you have more options; when you’re politically-connected, you don’t wait in line; and women are way better at longevity than men are. Continue reading

Children of God Abide in Christ

4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of 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 (NASB) 

Carefully read the passage I placed at the top of this post. The word “abide” is translated from the Greek word μενη. It and its forms such as μεινατε and μενητε are used in the Bible to refer to the subject of the sentence remaining or staying in the emphasized condition it is in…. Continue reading

Do You Desire Repentance or Revenge?

(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. Continue reading

John Stossel Blows the Lid Off the Scam That Is Recycling

“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….” 

(Brandon Morse – Red State) John Stossel is back to ruin your preconceived notions of things with some very inconvenient truths. In this case, these truths are going to be very inconvenient to the environmentalist crowd who thinks recycling is actually benefiting us as much as they think. Continue reading

NJ Mayor: Drones Should Be Taken Down, There’s Refusal to Do So Even When They Go Out to Sea

(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.

While discussing the briefing they had with the state, [relevant remarks begin around 37:25] Melham stated, “These drones have to come out of the air…. Continue reading

How ‘Side B’ Ministries Hi-Jack the Great Commission

(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…. Continue reading

President-Elect: Trump Dynasty a Possibility

(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.”

Trump, named Time’s 2024 Person of the Year on Thursday, recently met with magazine staff members for an exclusive wide-ranging interview, which included questions about his winning campaign.

“I don’t view it as a comeback,” Trump said. “I know it’s considered that. I should allow it to be that, and I will allow it to be that…. Continue reading

CNN: Daniel Penny Is the Same as the Cold-Blooded CEO Killer

Watch the videos: CNN host wrongly compares Daniel Penny to Luigi Mangione and asks, “Which vigilante action is okay?”

(Mary Dowling) CNN’s panel compared Daniel Penny and Luigi Mangione, drawing an equivalence between them. To the random talking heads CNN digs up, Penny and Mangione are the same.

Without mentioning his name, the woman hosting the panel said Penny decided Neely didn’t deserve to live.

In actuality, Daniel Penny was trying to save people on a train from the dangerous, violent Jordan Neely…. Continue reading

Sen. Kennedy Humiliates General Who Called Trump Supporters ‘Fascists’

Watch the 2nd video where Sen. Kennedy takes down General Manner.

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Sen. John Kennedy’s exchange with Retired Army Maj. Gen. Randy Manner during a recent Senate hearing was nothing short of epic. Kennedy, a master of political discourse, delivered a blistering takedown of Manner’s past comments on President Trump and his supporters during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. Manner was testifying about the incoming administration’s plans for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens. Continue reading

The Bonhoeffer Movie Was A Flop

“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.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Dietrich Bonhoeffer is the martyr of the Post-War Consensus and 20th-century liberalism’s syncretism with the church. Despite being a theological liberal who denied the Apostle’s Creed, Bonhoeffer has become more myth than man. Indeed he was not a liberal pastor on the outskirts of a liberal German denomination…. Continue reading

Unbiblical Ideas About Angels

FLASHBACK

By Marsha West 

Christian Research Network – first published in 2007. 

“For centuries, angels were seen as messengers for a holy God. Today, they seem to be all-forgiving therapists.” –Terry Maddingly

‘Tis the season of angels! At Christmastime angels are brought to our attention more than any other time of the year. Angel objects are everywhere you look, and they come in just about every shape and size imaginable. Manufacturers offer angel ornaments, cards, fine art, books, jewelry, figurines, cologne, undergarments, sleepwear, body wash and makeup. On one website I found a whole host of angel pins that includes a military and patriotic angel that proudly waves the American flag. Continue reading

Abiding in Christ with Cheerful Endurance

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)

The US agencies responsible for detecting counterfeit currency do not train their agents by having them study fake money. No, they train them by having them study genuine currency. They become intimately familiar with the genuine article so that when they encounter the counterfeit they have no trouble “judging” that it is not genuine…. Continue reading

Free at Last: Justice Done in Penny Acquittal

(Timon Cline – TruthScript) To paraphrase Thomas Carlyle, heroes provide patterns, dispositions, and actions to emulate. They are “creators” of aspiration, of “whatsoever the general mass of men” aim to “do or attain.” In this sense, heroes are the standard of manhood and nobleness.

Just last week, Psychology Today lamented that men lack role models. Of course, their proposed solution of “rewriting narratives of masculinity” to correct “harmful gender stereotypes” is exactly the kind of psychosis that has feminized men and suppressed any masculine aspiration in them. In other words, the cure for aimless men is to destroy men altogether. Continue reading

Trump: ‘Open to Anything’ on RFK Investigating Autism, Vaccines

When asked if whether he “wanted to see childhood vaccines eliminated,” Trump responded: “If they’re dangerous for the children.”

(Solange Reyner – Newsmax) President-elect Donald Trump says Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will investigate the supposed link between autism and childhood vaccines.

“When you look at some of the problems, when you look at what’s going on with disease and sickness in our country, something’s wrong,” Trump said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. Continue reading

Women Shouldn’t Be in Combat Roles

“If sex-neutral standards produce few qualified women, leftists will push to lower those standards. It already happened in the Army’s Ranger training.”

(Victor Joecks – Hot Air) It’s amazing how controversial common sense is these days. Look at the reaction to Pete Hegseth’s comments about women in combat roles.

President-elect Donald Trump wants Hegseth to be his secretary of defense. He served in the Army National Guard, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. He’s talked repeatedly about the problems he sees in today’s woke military. Continue reading

The bedrock of Christianity is repentance

1 Now at that same time there were some present who were reporting to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered these things? 3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or do you think that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse offenders than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Luke 13:1-5 (LSB) 

Several years ago I became involved in discussion on an “emergent blog” that was proclaiming that it is perfectly fine for Christians to use profanity and those who call them on it are being hypocritical and self-righteous…. Continue reading

Punching Back at Temptation

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) One of the things that people often misunderstand about the Christian faith is that Christians still deal with temptations on a regular basis. We’re forgiven of our sins, but we still face the choice to sin or not to sin every single day.

“In the last analysis it is not the temptations that meet us on the streets that determine our conduct; it is the heart of the man who faces them,” wrote the great Welsh preacher and theologian Martyn Lloyd-Jones. “Two men may face the same conditions; one falls, the other stands. The difference is not in the temptation but in the heart of the man.” Continue reading

Anti-Christian Hate Coming for Hegseth From Politico

The author is very anti-Christian, doesn’t understand Christianity, and has an overriding motive to demonize Christians, even if he has to invent problems as if he were a quack fortune teller.”

(Mary Dowling) A Politico article about Pete Hegseth sees him as too “aggressively Christian.” Author Jasper Craven called him “Joe Rogan of conservative military media.” The entire article reeks of anti-Christian bigotry, and this author is doing it openly. He’ll likely get rewarded for it. Continue reading

Obama Just Accused Republicans of What Democrats Are Doing, and It’s Nothing Less Than Ominous

“So when it came time to deliver his whopping lie at his “Democracy Forum,” did Mr. Smooth suddenly glitch himself? Does the man still have a conscience somewhere in there, a warning voice that told him that smearing his opponents with charges of which his friends and allies are guilty was immoral? Probably not, as Obama went on to make a statement that was frankly ominous.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) No one seems sure who first said it, maybe Joseph Goebbels, but in any case, it’s a tried-and-tested Alinskyite tactic: accuse your enemy of what you’re doing. Barack Obama is a practiced expert at this, and he gave a master class in it on Thursday at his Obama Foundation’s Orwellian-named Democracy Forum. Continue reading
