Memphis — An After School Satan Club plans to begin offering activities to children at a Tennessee elementary school following Christmas break, officials said, and the move immediately proved controversial. The Satanic Temple plans to host the club at Chimneyrock Elementary School in Cordova, news outlets reported. It will begin meeting on Jan. 10 in the school's library and run through the spring semester, according to an announcement Tuesday posted on social media.

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed former President Donald Trump for the controversial Satanic altar erected in Iowa’s State Capitol this month, pointing out that the IRS granted the Satanic Temple tax-exempt status in 2019 during the Trump administration. So it’s interesting, I heard this and then I was like, well how did it get there? Is that even a religion? And lo and behold, the Trump administration gave them approval to be under the IRS as a religion. So that gave them the legal ability to potentially do it. So I don’t know what the legislature– what they, how...

The odds may still be stacked against her in the Republican primary. But should former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley capture the nomination, a stunning new poll suggests the general election would be a cakewalk for her.According to a new poll from the Wall Street Journal out Saturday, Haley — in a hypothetical one-on-one matchup with President Joe Biden — currently has a remarkable 17-point lead, 51-34. Should the matchup materialize and the margin hold, it would represent the largest winning general margin since 1984 — when former President Ronald Reagan topped Walter Mondale by 18 points.Of course, in order...

Our society has gone off the rails. In Green Bay, Wisconsin at the National Railroad Museum, the annual Festival of Trees just kicked off, and because the left ruins everything, what was once pure and wholesome is now demonic and Satanic—literally. Every holiday season, the establishment displays dozens of uniquely decorated Christmas trees contributed by local groups, but this year’s exhibit is particularly controversial due to the inclusion of Satanic and “transgender” trees thanks to “activists.” Adorning the transgender-themed tree are transgender flags and ornaments, with the movement’s over-used euphemisms (“Protect Trans Kids”), and was contributed by the Bay Area...

False prophets, psychics, mediums, and soothsayers: The rise of these things in our world today is a sign of the times. In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus said, “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:11-12). The Bible says there will be an increase in false prophets—frauds and fakes who claim to have knowledge of the future. We see this today in the surge in sorcery, magic arts, psychics, and witchcraft. In the New Testament, we find the word “pharmakeia,” which is where we get...

Representative Kevin McCarthy, the former GOP House speaker, said that if former President Donald Trump secures the Republican nomination in 2024, as most assume he will, he ought to designate political rival Nikki Haley as his vice president. “If I was a political person, and I was going to advise somebody, you’re going to pick the vice president that’s about addition, not subtraction. So you’re not going to pick somebody that already equates to you,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Andrew Ross Sorkin. “Now if I was picking for purely political decisions, what it looks like today is the anti-Trump vote is...

A Russian cannibal in a Satanic cult that slaughtered four teenagers — beheading and partially eating two of them — has been pardoned by President Vladimir Putin after fighting against Ukraine in a notorious unit of convicts. Nikolai Ogolobyak, 33, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2010 for murder and desecrating corpses over a series of horrifying ritualistic murders that rocked the Yaroslavl region — where the then-teenager was known as “Count.” Ogolobyak and other Satan worshippers, including one nicknamed “Hitler,” beheaded two of their four victims — then cut out their hearts and tongues which they then...

Vladimir Putin will test the world's largest ballistic missile by flying it over the South Pole, a shocking report by state media has revealed before being rapidly censored. The Russian dictator is determined to flex his nuclear muscle to the West and will put his first regiment to be armed with the apocalypse 208-ton intercontinental nuclear weapon - the RS-28 Sarmat, aka 'Satan 2' - on 'combat duty' next month. This is despite an astonishing admission that the 'unstoppable' 15,880mph doomsday missile - as tall as a 14-storey tower block - is not properly tested. Putin's own state news agency...

[Catholic Caucus] How Francis and Satan Empty Their Synodal Ape Church of Divine ContentIn his Communism and the Conscience of the West, Bishop Fulton Sheen foretold the eventual rise of Satan’s ape church:“In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be the brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect. He will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the Church,...

One of my dearest friends was born in a kibbutz two miles from Gaza. His village was able to evacuate when Hamas launched its murderous assault last Saturday. However, a neighboring kibbutz called Kfar Aza was targeted by the terrorists.Yesterday, my friend forwarded to me a survivor’s description of what happened:A thriving community of one thousand people, men and women, was brutally crushed within forty-eight hours. Whole families, parents, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers were murdered in cold blood. Their houses were turned into piles of earth and ashes, and their lives as they knew them—destroyed. They lost...

The NFL's first transgender cheerleader has slammed North Carolina for banning transgender women from women's sports - as she insisted that her role is 'setting things up for the younger generation.' Justine Lindsay, 30, captured headlines in March 2022 after joining the Carolina Panthers' TopCats cheer squad, comparing her dancing achievement to becoming 'a doctor or a nurse' in an interview with Elle this week.

Meet Harpy -- the navy brass’ new favorite sailor. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley, who apparently wears a medal on his chest for every military disaster he’s overseen, bristles at claims that on his watch, the U.S. military has become woke, soft, and distracted from its actual purpose. The uber-woke general claims that he’s “not even sure what that word truly means” — that is, “woke” — and that the United States military is fearsome, powerful, and ready for anything. And it’s true, as long as the Chinese or Russians send an...

A "horrified" hospital employee at Kaiser Permanente leaked a sex change training for diversity, equity and inclusion, which promoted the idea that a 3-year-old can be transgender. "The employee, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job, was horrified," according to the Wednesday report from Libs of TikTok. As part of the hospital system's DEI training, medical employees were expected to watch a video with children explaining they knew they were transgender at age 3 and 4. "Many transgender people have ALWAYS known their true gender," the video said. "My name is Rose. I'm a transgender girl....

“Your daughter is trans, and you’re a homophobic racist if you don’t accept her,” the court-appointed guardian told Mark. Stunned, Mark realized the gravity of what his daughter, Summer, was experiencing. Determined to intervene, he reached out to resources he hoped would offer an alternative perspective, one that could steer her away from a decision he feared might haunt her for life. Summer was only 12 years old when she expressed a desire to transition to male. According to Mark, the decision followed a traumatic three-month period during which she was emotionally vulnerable and lacked proper guidance. Rather than receiving...
