A leading Evangelical Christian leader has spoken out publicly against the Black Lives Matter movement’s anti-Semitic manifesto and silence after synagogues and churches were attacked and defaced during their protests last week. “All true American patriots wept bitter tears at the brutal and needless death of George Floyd. Jews, Christians and people of conscience understand the inherent problems within our society that need to be addressed and healed. Racism of any kind does not belong in America and must be relegated to the annals of history,” Laurie Cardoza-Moore said. “On the same token it would be hypocritical of Christian leaders...

Eligio Lee Bishop, 38-year-old leader of the 'Carbon Nation' cult, was arrested for violating emergency orders to quarantine for 14 days on arrival on the Big Island. Police confirmed they had taken 21 people into custody in Puna - nine in Fern Forest on Wednesday and 12 in Hawaiian Paradise Park on Thursday. ---Cult leader Bishop, who refers to himself as 'The Messiah Demigod' and 'Master Chief', set up the cult in 2016 which believes in nudism, polygamy, defecating at the base of trees and requires all members to hand over all their money and credit cards.

I explore the historical/ideological roots of the BLM movement, and demonstrate why it's not only unscriptural to partner with them, but destructive to the black community in this country.

The largest church in the state of Alabama has been “canceled” by the Birmingham Housing Authority because Pastor Chris Hodges follows Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk on social media and has “liked” Kirk’s Instagram posts. Donald Trump Jr. commented on the city’s actions, tweeting: “They’re canceling the pastor of the largest (and most racially diverse) church in Alabama just because he liked some of [Charlie Kirk’s] posts. Absolutely insane.” The Housing Authority of the Birmingham District Board of Commissioners Monday voted to end its partnership with Church of the Highlands, citing the pastor’s social media activity, according...

The western world is in upheaval, a devilish revolutionary fever brought about by an extreme "progressivism" gone awry, the culture of "wokeness", that erupts in rage at the end of the illegitimate lockdowns imposed by various governments. Exactly 42 years ago today, on June 8, 1978, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn traveled the New England roads from his place of refuge in Vermont to the oldest institution of higher education in the United States, Harvard University, where he delivered the keynote Commencement Address for that year. It was his first major public address in America since taking refuge in the country three years...

Police face off with activists during a protest march in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of the Brooklyn borough of New York on Sunday, May 31, 2020. Demonstrators took to the streets of the city to protest the death of George Floyd, who died May 25 after he was pinned at the neck by a Minneapolis police officer. (AP Photo/Kevin Hagen) A new video showing a police officer refusing to kneel as protestors scream at him is making the rounds. In it, the officer also makes the now contentious statement that “all lives matter” as he pledges to protect everyone. This was shared...

Washington DC Archbishop Wilton Gregory released a statement last Tuesday lashing out at President Donald Trump for visiting the John Paul II National Shrine. The DC Archbishop Gregory lectured President Trump on “defending the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree” while at the same time attacking him for visiting a Catholic Shrine.President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited the Catholic Shrine before signing an executive order promoting religious freedom.First Lady Melania Trump is a practicing Catholic.The media failed to report this important detail in their hit pieces on President Trump. Instead, Archbishop Gregory made...

At DeSales University, a black student who goes by the Twitter handle L*sbian Satan found some old Twitter posts from a white fellow student, whose name I will withhold here, that were foully racist. She doxxed him, meaning that she put his personal information online in an effort to destroy him. The kid — I’ll call him N. — posted the racist stuff to Twitter when he was in high school. Here is what the university’s president, Father Jim Greenfield, sent to the university community on Friday:

Today is the eighth, a nearly-forgotten holiday commemorating the 1815 victory of U.S. forces, under Andrew Jackson’s command, over the British in New Orleans. That victory catapulted Jackson to fame as a national hero and paved his way to the White House. Today also marks the date President Jackson died 175 years ago. He is remembered as a fierce patriot, but he was also a faithful Christian. In a letter to Ellen M. Hanson, he wrote, “I was brought up a rigid Presbyterian, to which I have always adhered.” Jackson publicly professed his faith in 1838 in a little Presbyterian...

A man suspected of stabbing one NYPD officer and shooting two others reportedly yelled out ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the violent attack. Dzenan Camovic, 20, allegedly walked up to the group of cops in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn Wednesday night and lunged a knife into one of the officer’s necks. According to officials, he then took control of that policeman’s gun and shot the other two deputies in the hands. Camovic is accused of screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ three times. The assailant was himself shot and injured by another police officer who quickly responded to the scene. Camovic, whose family hails...

“The God of New Beginnings” (Genesis 1; Acts 2; Matthew 28) Today is Trinity Sunday. It is on this day every year that we call special attention to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. This teaching is true every day of the year, of course, but on this particular Sunday, we call special attention to it. The Scripture readings for today bring out the nature of God as being triune, that is, one God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The hymns we sing on this day are trinitarian in their content. And Trinity Sunday is the one...

NBC News: The suspect in Wednesday night's stabbing of a NYPD officer in Brooklyn was recorded saying "Allahu Akbar" 3 times during the incident, the NYPD says. But they're urging caution in assigning an ideology or specific motive based on what they've found so far in the case. — Tom Winter

It’s always discouraging to see Christians duped by forces of darkness that parade as angels of light, but this is exactly what’s happening among those who are embracing the message of Black Lives Matter and using Scripture to justify the movement’s ideology. One example came to my attention today on Twitter when Nancy French—wife of National Review columnist David French—tweeted the following message from singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens...While I’m sure Stevens had good intentions posting this message on his Instagram, as did Nancy French for reposting it, they both couldn’t be more wrong in applying this verse to the political movement...

The massive propaganda campaign to the effect that [Only] Black Lives Matter is a “Hi-Tech lynching” of American society. It insinuates that anyone who thinks that “there is neither [no distinction between] jew nor greek” - anyone who thinks that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” applies to “blacks” as well as “whites” - is evil.

Eleven days down, the Antifa and BLM are protesting against the murder of George Floyd and continue to stage riots across the United States of America even as President Donald Trump said that he will proclaim Antifa as a terrorist organization. For the past week, all of us have seen chaos engulf our beloved country. The violence and the destruction have been so overwhelming, so shocking, and awful and vivid on the screen, that it’s been hard to think clearly about what’s going on. Most of us haven’t been able to step back far enough to ask even the obvious...

A prayer meeting organiser in Houston split his congregation down racial lines so the white half could kneel and beg for forgiveness from the black half. Such self-flagellation doesn’t heal divisions, it highlights them. Footage and photos have emerged of an open-air prayer group being held in Houston, Texas. The images of black and white Texans praying together as the rain hacked down and riots ripped across America, appeared to be a welcome note of racial harmony in a divided country. Races coming together in a spirit of prayer and forgiveness, united by their shared faith in a time of...

Timothy Gordon, who worked as a Catholic school teacher, was fired from his job for telling the truth about the “Black Lives Matter” supremacist movement that is laying waste to cities across the nation. Gordon was fired from the Garces Catholic High School in Bakersfield, Calif. for calling out looters and rioters and standing for the property owners who have been under attack by these coordinated forces of evil. Shortly after a petition was made against him by radical leftists, the cowardly administrators at the school caved and terminated him.

On this date in 1886, thirteen Catholic men and boys, as well as nine Anglican Christians, were burned alive in Buganda, a kingdom in modern-day Uganda. Most of them pages at the royal court, they had been martyred for their faith. The kingdom of Buganda came in contact with Europeans in the 1860s; Arab traders had been doing business there a few decades before that. Christian missionaries arrived in Buganda in 1879. In the next few years many court officials converted. King Muteesa I tolerated Muslims, Catholics and Protestants and played them off against other for political gain, but his...

Monday on CNN, Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) said God would be with the protesters, some of which that faced tear gas and rubber bullets, that were cleared from Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. so President Donald Trump could pay a visit to nearby St. John’s Church, which was damaged in a fire set during protests on Sunday night. Pritzker said, “Reject the notion that the federal government can send troops into the state of Illinois. The fact is that the president has created an incendiary moment here. He wants to change the subject from his failure over coronavirus, a miserable...

Protests over the horrific death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis have taken on a life of their own as riots broke out across the country. Rioters looted, vandalized, and burned stores, monuments, and buildings that had nothing to do with police brutality, but perhaps the most egregious case came in Los Angeles on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.
