Not Good! Pastor Says Trump Rally Is Second ‘Most Amazing Thing’ To Happen at His Church

In a cringy display of misplaced priorities, Pastor Jimmy Morales of Fervent Church in Las Vegas, Nevada, lauded the advent of Donald Trump at a campaign rally held at his church. He introduced the former president with a statement that was both theatrically overblown and devoid of theological substance, saying: “I am so excited about what’s going on here today. This is the most amazing thing that’s ever happened at this church, other than you giving your life to the Lord.” Click for Full Text!
The Strawman and Liturgical Supremacy

“Dennis” is, as the kids say, “big mad” about my last post about liturgy. He responded with a long and bizarre comment that was really more of a blogpost in its own right. Rather than publish his post in its entirety, I would like to focus on his opening paragraph, shared verbatim above. “Dennis” is a disgruntled former member of an LCMS congregation that he alleges, “literally chose pipe organs over missions,” and this is “one reason why [he] left the LCMS.” At any rate, I find his passive-aggressive straw-manning to be typical responses to any and all such opinions that traditional liturgy is superior to contemporary non-liturgy, that ...
Luther vs Karlstadt: The Other Leipzig Disputation

This month, we mark the 504th anniversary of the Leipzig Disputation, an academic debate held at the University of Leipzig between Andreas Bodenstein von Karlstadt of the University of Wittenberg (the challenger) and Johann Eck of the University of Ingolstadt. Martin Luther also participated, as his statements were at the center of the dispute. The event is remembered as a key moment in Reformation history, as it was the first time Luther publicly acknowledged that both popes and church councils had made errors. (Philip Bartlet has written an excellent primer on the Leipzig Disputation that can be found here.) However, that is not the only reason the Leipzig Disputation was significant. It ...

Lurie Children’s Hospital is testing out a sex education program co- taught by current and recently graduated Chicago Public Schools (CPS) students, according to emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation through a public records request. Lurie offers a variety of sex education programs to schools in Chicago, including a Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) workshop series covering “gender-affirming” sexual communication, healthy LGBTQ relationships, anal sex, HIV and the HIV-prevention medicine PrEP, according to its website. One Lurie employee asked a CPS elementary school teacher in a March 21 email if her school was interested in a GSA sex ed program co-taught by ...

Political analyst: Biden's health poses risk of 'real civil war' for Democrats

A Fox News guest said Friday that an unexpected “health scare” involving President Joe Biden could cause a “real civil war” in the Democratic Party. Biden’s age has resurfaced as a concern after he twice mistakenly called Ukraine “Iraq” in the span of a few days in late June. He claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin was “losing in Iraq” June 28 when discussing the attempted coup by Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, after he bragged about how he brought Europe together in response to “the onslaught in Iraq.” Click for Full Text!

A transgender activist stated on social media this week that he wishes to be the first biological male identifying as a female to have an abortion — and that he would get pregnant on purpose in order to kill the baby by abortion. In a video shared by Libs of TikTok, the activist said, “I want to be the first trans woman to have a successful uterus transplant — ovaries and eggs included — and I want to be the first trans woman to have an abortion.” Click for Full Text!

Don't Republicans know government spending saps economic growth?

Economic discussions would be far more worthwhile if those in the conversation got the basics. One of them is that governments don’t take in money, nor do they spend it. When governments charge us for our production (call it a tax), the money they take in is just a ticket for the actual resources that we've produced, and that politicians are going to redirect in politicized fashion. Translated for those who need it, governments don’t tax away our money to look at it lovingly; rather the money taken from us represents their ability to redirect actual goods, services and labor in politicized fashion.

Trump blames Chris Christie for ‘mistake’ of nominating FBI director

Former President Trump said it was “probably” a mistake to appoint Christopher Wray to lead the FBI, attributing the decision partly to a recommendation from former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R). In an interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo set to air Sunday, Trump, who rarely acknowledges making an error, was asked if it was a mistake for him to put Wray in charge of the FBI. The bureau has recently faced unrelenting criticism from Republicans, including the former president. Click for Full Text!
Young Ukrainians scared to leave their homes as more and more videos emerge of forced conscription

As Ukraine’s manpower on its frontlines starts to dwindle, military leaders are becoming increasingly desperate to locate new recruits to propel its counteroffensive against Russia forward; however, the number of young people volunteering for such a challenge has plummeted. Recent videos of young Ukrainian men being conscripted across the country have circulated in popular encrypted messaging apps in Ukraine, and those fearful of being sent to the front are actively engaging in evasive and, in some instances, illegal tactics to avoid such a fate.

What does a BRICS-affiliated Bangladesh mean?

The main dialogue of Bangladesh's foreign policy is friendship to all, malice towards none. Nothing in international politics is permanent. With the passage of time, the calculus of friendship and enmity changes, so the relevance and practical reflection of this neutral dialogue often becomes irrelevant and unrealistic. Bangladesh announced its plans to join BRICS at a time when the country is in dire straits of dollars to meet the cost of importing many commodities, including coal and energy. Hence it is called the most talked about new challenge. Click for Full Text!

After Congressional Leadership Changes, Supporting Israel Remains the Message

In July of last year, I wrote about how among top Republican and Democratic leaders of the United States House of Representatives and Senate “the support for the government of Israel appears unanimous and over the top” even though polling indicates Americans are pretty evenly divided between having favorable and negative views of the Israel government. Here we are a year later, and the situation seems the same as before. Click for Full Text!

The “missing witness” from the Biden corruption investigation, Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, has laid out his bribery allegations against the president’s family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosed location while he’s on the run, perhaps for the rest of his life. In a 14-minute video obtained by The New York Post, Luft accused Biden of bribery, stating that the president received payments from individuals linked to Chinese military intelligence. He also alleged the presence of an FBI mole sharing classified information with the China-controlled energy company CEFC. Luft supported his claims by providing details of a meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in ...

Stocks and bonds had a tough week last week. In his podcast, Peter Schiff talked about the market moves in the context of Fed rhetoric and the jobs reports. He concluded that we could be heading toward another big leg down in bonds, and this bond bear will maul stocks and the dollar. Peter said called last week “decisive” and “telling” in the markets. The stock market and the bond market both showed weakness, along with the dollar. But gold finished last week with a small gain. Click for Full Text!

Why Pfizer Stopped Covid Vax Trial

No randomized trial data are available for use of the COVID-19 shot in pregnant women, and Pfizer cut its pregnancy trial short.1 But this doesn’t stop the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from recommending COVID-19 injections for everyone 6 months and older, including “people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or those who might become pregnant in the future.”2 “Not having any good data didn’t seem to bother the CDC,” Dr. Martin Makary, a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, wrote in Tablet.3 He and a team of scientists petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to add a disclaimer to the ...
Media Continue To Lie About Gene Therapy Jab

While the COVID-19 shots are referred to as “vaccines,” they do not meet the classical definition of a vaccine. Health authorities needed to change the definition1 to accommodate the COVID shots and shut down the argument that, as experimental gene therapies, they may be riskier than traditional vaccines. Meanwhile, based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s definition2,3 of “gene therapy” they’re clearly gene therapies, and both Moderna4 and BioNTech5 acknowledge this in their Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration statements.

The WHO Is a Real and Present Danger

Our governments intend to transfer decisions over our health, families, and societal freedoms to the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), whenever he or she declares it necessary. The success of this transfer of power depends on public ignorance of its implications, and of the nature of the WHO itself and its recent pandemic policy reversals. When the public understands, then its leaders are more likely to act in their interests rather than against them. In late 2019, the WHO issued new recommendations for pandemic influenza. Influenza spreads by the same mechanism as Covid-19 (aerosols), with a similar mortality in most people. The WHO stated that it is “not ...

Free speech is for everyone—our opponents included. At Alliance Defending Freedom, we make strong arguments, and we draft strong briefs. And we expect our opponents to engage in healthy debate with our beliefs and our arguments. Strong disagreement about big questions is a feature of free speech, not a bug. In fact, that’s part of the reason ADF exists. Our mission is to defend everyone’s right to live and speak the truth. Unfortunately, not everyone sees free speech that way, and some use their freedom to slander and misrepresent those they disagree with. Click for Full Text!
