(Margot Cleveland – The Federalist) A recent court filing in the criminal case against Hunter Biden suggests the Justice Department and IRS seek “to dirty up the very whistleblowers” who exposed political favoritism and misconduct in the Hunter Biden investigation, Sen. Chuck Grassley charged in a letter to the IRS commissioner obtained exclusively by The Federalist. A review of the underlying court filing submitted by Special Counsel David Weiss in the federal tax evasion case pending against the president’s son supports Grassley’s charges — highlighting again that Attorney General Merrick Garland never should have named Weiss as special counsel.

How Crazy Is This Going to Get?
“Thailand national TV has launched a news program anchored by someone who isn’t real: “she” (if we can apply the pronoun to such a travesty) is a phantom generated by “Artificial Intelligence”. Soon she will be joined by a “male” phantom, and together they will present the news.”
(Lee Duigon – News With Views) Three nooze stories, in the past few days, have made me question the sanity of our governing class.
Easter Sunday, the holiest day of the year for Christians: our (ahem!) “president” formally, and with great fanfare, proclaimed it “Transgender Day of Visibility.” He signed his name to it. Continue reading
What Does Paul Say about Spiritual Warfare?
“Satan is a tempter. He whispers, “Did God really say? Is God really good? Does He really love you?” Satan is the seductress of the book of Proverbs. Spiritual adultery is expressive of spiritual warfare. The enemy woos our hearts. He wants our worship. He urges us to spiritual desertion and seeks to lead us to shipwreck on the rocks of spiritual destruction.”
(Stanley D Gale – Tabletalk Magazine) “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Eph. 6:12) Continue reading
Hamas Terrorists Aren’t Starving Because They Steal Aid, Pressuring Us Incentivizes Their Evil
(Ian Hanchett – Breitbart) On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Netanyahu Spokesperson Tal Heinrich stated that Hamas terrorists aren’t starving because “they’ve been hoarding and stealing the aid” as part of a goal to increase civilian suffering “in hopes that Israel will take the fire for it, and the international pressure on Israel will bring an eventual end to this war and let them stay in power, let them live another day, and carry out another October 7 massacre.” She also stated that “if you put the pressure on Israel when Hamas [is] doing these things, then you incentivize these sick methods.” Continue reading
Hope for the Unhappy
“The World Happiness Report informs us that Gen Z is becoming disillusioned by their god. The government is not the deliverer those between 18- and 30-years old thought it was. The politicians who wield power and influence, for whom many of this generation zealously voted and elected in 2020, have turned out to be corrupt and unconcerned about their plight.”
(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) It’s that time of year again, when the World Happiness Report releases its findings on the happiest countries on the planet. From 2023 to 2024, the United States plunged from 15th to 23rd, hitting an all-time low in average happiness ranking…. Continue reading
Hypocritical Biden Hammers Netanyahu for Civilian Deaths
“The same Joe Biden who thrives on avoiding accountability called Netanyahu and pressured him to change Israel’s strategy and tactics. He then went to great lengths to ensure everyone knew the contents of that phone call. The White House said in a statement that the president wants “measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers.” Biden also again demanded an “immediate ceasefire” — never mind that Hamas has rejected every other attempt at a ceasefire and started the war in the first place”.
(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) On August 26, 2021, America lost 13 warriors to a cowardly suicide bombing attack at the Kabul airport. That attack happened as American forces were following the surrender and retreat orders of their commander-in-chief, Joe Biden. Continue reading
Government-Funded Database Labels Pro-Life Organization As ‘Terrorist Group’
(Tristin Justice – The Federalist) A government-funded database, led by the University of Maryland and ostensibly established to track “radicalization,” is targeting a major pro-life group as “terrorists.”
Students for Life of America (SFLA), which has 1,400 chapters at campuses across the country, “appears under a ‘Terrorist Group’ label in the raw dataset,” according to a Monday article in The College Fix.
The database, called the “Profiles of Individual Radicalization in the United States” (PIRUS), was funded in part by grants from the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security’s Center for the Study of Terrorism and Behavior (CSTAB)…. Continue reading
The Illegals Might Be in Control Before the Election
“Now, had any of the above-mentioned people wandered into the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, the Biden administration would be petitioning to have them drawn and quartered.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) I’ll kick things off today with a couple of “Wow, this is a dumpster fire” nuggets, and then we can roll into the weekend and put the news in a timeout. I may light a few candles for the Republic.
OK, I’m not really full of existential dread, but I do get cranky. Continue reading
Filthy Rags
6 For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away. Isaiah 64:6 (LSB)
We have looked deeply at the Biblical definition of our Salvation over the last several posts. In this post we will continue to do that. One of the attacks on the Gospel in our time comes from several sources, but with the same focus. That focus is to change what our salvation is actually is and what it accomplishes and why it is necessary…. Continue reading
The Most Devastating News You’ll Hear About Illegal Immigration
“So illegal immigrants now have the legal authority to sponsor other illegal immigrants even though they’re not here legally, and they’re still waiting to see an immigration judge, which is pushed off by 10/15/20 years…”
(Mary Dowling) The information from former border agent JJ Carroll in the clip below will devastate you because it surely is the end of the United States as we know it. He describes the destruction in four phases.
“Phase One is to let everyone into the country, and it doesn’t end…,” JJ Carroll said. “It just continues on.” Continue reading
Estimate: Christian Religious Leaders to Embezzle $86 Billion in 2024
(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) The January issue of the International Bulletin of Mission Research (IBMR) reports that Christian religious leaders are estimated to embezzle $86 billion in 2024.
The disturbing statistic, which is easy to overlook, appears in Table 5 of the article “World Christianity 2024: Fragmentation and Unity” under the description “Ecclesiastical Crime.”
This estimate was compiled by data scientists Dr. Gina Zurlo, Dr. Todd Johnson, and Peter Crossing at the Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Continue reading
Churches Embracing Queer Ideologies are Idolatrous, Robbing God of the Glory He Deserves
“The path these movements and so-called “churches” are taking is a perilous one, leading not to enlightenment and freedom, as they claim, but to spiritual confusion and estrangement from God—enslavement to a life of sin and eternal torment.”
(The Dissenter) Every day, it seems we’re confronted with another headline about how the Church is “evolving” or “becoming more inclusive” by embracing some version of queer theory or gender ideology. But here’s the crux of the matter: this so-called progress is actually a profound regression, a blasphemous rebellion against God’s divine blueprint for humanity. Continue reading
Marxism: It’s Why We Can’t Have Nice Things — Like an Education
(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Remember when working hard and working smart was a ticket to the top? Well, apparently, in the world of the communists, meritocracy is somehow “racist.”
Marxism has reared its ugly mug again in the United States and — no surprise — it is happening once again where it hurts most: our schools.
FACT-O-RAMA! Karl Marx was a draft-dodging sluggard. His excessive drinking and smoking, as well as his late-night jollifications and poor diet, resulted in a so-called “weak chest,” which kept him from serving in the military…. Continue reading
What is the real Gospel?
14 Now after John had been delivered up into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 (LSB)
In my Cruden’s Concordance introduction for the word “gospel” it reads, “The English word gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon gõdspel which meant good tidings through, gõdspel or god-story. The word in the original (Greek) in the New Testament is euaggelion, from which, through the Latin evangelium, comes our word evangel, with its derivatives…. Continue reading
Strike Against Apologist for Video Critical of Benny Hinn
(Protestia) Prominent apologist, Mike Winger, is crying foul after a ministry associated with Benny Hinn claims a copyright strike against him, unjustly targeting him on account of a video critical of the famed arch-heretic.
Jesus Image ministry is led by Jessica and Michael Koulianos, Benny Hinn’s daughter and son-in-law. Primarily based around a church by the same name from St Mary, Florida, they’ve consistently hosted a series of conferences, such as the upcoming Jesus 24 conference, where men like Benny Hinn will preach alongside Bethel Redding’s Bill Johnson, Christine Caine, and Francis Chan [who has apostatized]. Continue reading
Million Dollar Perks Going to Judge Merchan’s Family for Taking Trump to Court in Bogus Hush Money Case
“It’s pretty appalling. This feels like a turning point in all of this welfare against Trump. With this case, the left is dropping any pretense, doesn’t seem to care at all about having any pretense of legitimacy with the greater public. It’s the gloves are off. It’s bare knuckles now.”
(Jim Hoft – Gateway Pundit) Jesse Watters ran a devastating segment last night on radical Judge Juan Merchan who silenced President Donald Trump from talking about his family’s financial ties to the current junk case he is presiding over against Donald Trump in New York City. Continue reading
Oregon Ends Its Experiment With Decriminalizing Hard Drugs
“Republicans stood united and forced Democrats to do what Oregonians demanded: recriminalize drugs.”
(Leah Barkoukis – Townhall) It didn’t take long for Oregon to realize decriminalizing hard drugs was a bad idea.
On Tuesday, Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, signed legislation that recriminalizes drug possession, reversing Measure 110, which 58 percent of voters approved in 2020…. Continue reading
Matt Walsh Attacks Wokeness On The Right
“The point Walsh is making is actually more potent than he went into, as this same wokeness is also in the church. Many pastors refused to go woke for Black people but have happily gone woke for Jews. Christian media like Conservative Inc. heavily panders to this religion. The Christian Post is one prominent example. This has been the case ever since Zionists financed the proliferation of theology that suits their interests.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Matt Walsh is one of the most prominent voices in Conservative Inc. as he is among the Big 4 at the Daily Wire. Last Friday, Walsh took a stand that appears out of line with others at the Daily Wire but certainly consistent with his stated principles of free speech when he “canceled” Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his executive order combating “antisemitic rhetoric” on college campuses. This occurred after Candace Owens was fired from Daily Wire. Continue reading
The Decline Of Christianity Means The End Of Neutral Spaces
“What comes amid the decline of the Christian faith is not some live-and-let-live secular liberal utopia, not a rational and atheistic political order with neutral public spaces and a culture of tolerance. Instead, we have a new form of paganism with its own moral precepts, obligations, and rites. And unlike the secular liberal order, which embraced tolerance and pluralism as an inheritance from Christianity, the pagan order will be intolerant in the extreme.”
(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) President Biden’s decision to elevate Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter, the holiest day of the Christian calendar, was no accident. Yes, we all know (now) that it falls on March 31 every year, while the date of Easter obviously varies…. Continue reading
Christians are Posting ‘Christ is King,’ David French Complains on MSNBC, ‘Very Dangerous’
“In a recent appearance on MSNBC, the most anti-Christian far left “news” network in America, even worse than CNN, French laments that Christians are posting “Christ is King” on Twitter in a “very dangerous” way that suggests that Christianity is superior to other religions.”
(The Dissenter) It’s becoming increasingly easy to separate the sheep from the goats as we watch the religious, cultural, and political climate become increasingly divisive. David French, a religious leftist who devotes his life to standing against conservative Christianity in the public sphere, stands at the epicenter of this great divide stamping and stammering his feet as he continues to detach himself from reality. Continue reading
Lecrae Recounts Attending Parties Where Sex Orgies Broke Out at 1:00AM
(Protestia) With famous rap Mogul ‘Diddy’ in the news for throwing wild sex parties, deconstructed rap artist Lecrae has weighed in with his experiences being around this sort of activity.
During a recent episode of his podcast, Lecrae details how he would occasionally (regularly?) attend celebrity parties with artists like “Diddy,” where orgies and sex parties would take place, detailing a couple of encounters.
In particular, he notes one incident where he was warned that he should leave around one in the morning but says he refused when his ‘pride kicked in’ because he wasn’t some ‘little church boy’ and believed he could handle himself around some wild behavior: Continue reading
Death and life
1 And you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom we all also formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. Ephesians 2:1-3 (LSB)
I have been to many funerals in my 72 years. The hard ones are for those who were young and it seemed that they had not had the time to do anything in this life….
Of course the hardest ones are of those we were sure were not believers. On the other hand, there have been those who were Christians who we served with for many years and some who came to the Lord as they neared their end. For instance, I led my uncle to the Lord the day before he died. What a difference that made at that funeral! Several years ago my nephew Travis developed brain cancer and eventually died from it. He was a good Christian man. I remember his funeral being more of a celebration than something mournful. Also, we had a good friend at our church who battled brain cancer for over a year and ended up in hospice for several weeks before he died. He was a godly man. His funeral was somewhat sad because we all will miss him, but it was not a tragic thing for us nor for his family for he was much beloved and was a solid Christian leader. At his funeral many shared how his life had impacted them to draw them into a closer walk with the Lord. Yes there was weeping, but not that mournful thing.
The Politics of Death
“These leftwing loons have power in New York, so it’s no bail, no responsibility, no protection for civilians or police. The streets simmer with criminality. Good people are brutalized every day.”
(Bill O’Reilly) St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. Funeral mass. Hundreds of police inside. Thousands of others outside. All here to honor murdered New York City police officer Jonathan Diller and his grieving family.
The 31-year-old was shot to death by a career criminal who was allowed by politicians and judges to roam the nation’s largest city armed and dangerous….
Easter Is the World’s Most Historically Verified Holiday
(Scott Powell – The Patriot Post) From the beginning of recorded history, people have turned to religion as a way to find refuge, solace, and meaning. Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and most other religions point to their own prophets and teachers, but among those world religions, only Christianity has a founder who professed to be the Messiah — the Son of God. Easter is the historical account and conclusive evidence of that Messiah.
Easter weekend starts with Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion when God sacrificed His only Son, Jesus Christ, to fulfill His plan to provide salvation from sin for all who believe in Christ, the Savior…. Continue reading
Fake Catholic Joe Biden Tried to Cancel Easter, but Jesus Won
“Easter is the holiest day of the year for Christians, and Biden choosing to wax on about a lunatic leftist agenda “holiday” instead is disgusting. That he chose Good Friday to do it shows that he isn’t really Catholic at all and that he doesn’t have any real people of faith in his inner circle. That was beyond tone-deaf. It was a display of contempt for Christians.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) There are just so many things to dislike about Joe Biden, the man and the president. And I mean intensely dislike. One of the more galling fictions that the Dem-friendly media likes to keep up is that Biden is a good Catholic and a man of deep faith. In the MSM telling of the story, President LOLEightyonemillion is halfway to canonization. Continue reading
