John Piper, founder of DesiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary, speaks at the MLK50 Conference hosted by the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and The Gospel Coalition in Memphis, Tennessee, Christians from across the spectrum have weighed in on influential pastor and author John Piper's op-ed piece criticizing Christians' support for President Donald Trump.“I think it is a drastic mistake to think that the deadly influences of a leader come only through his policies and not also through his person,” Piper, founder of Desiring God, wrote on Thursday. “Flagrant boastfulness, vulgarity, immorality...

NEWS-FLASH!! —- NEWS-FLASH!! with PSA.

The Fusion demonstration in this City, last evening, was undoubtedly a success, in regard to the extent of the procession, and the general display throughout the almost interminable line. In fact, it was all that those who created it had promised, in point of numbers and variety of embellishments. At an early hour in the evening the various Douglas, Breckinridge and Bell and Everett delegations from Kings County, Queens County and Richmond County; from Jersey City, Hoboken, Patterson, New-Brunswick, Perth Amboy, Newark, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, began to pour into the City, and make their way to their several rendezvous; and...

“All death threats and incitements to violence against me have been reported to [the Portland Police] since last year. I have not been followed-up with once,” Ngo added. Derek Cameron, a Portland Police public information officer, confirmed to PJ Media that Ngo has reported multiple death threats against him. Cameron condemned the death threats, insisted that the police take them seriously, and suggested that the police may have not followed up with Ngo because many of the death threats were anonymous. “I see that Mr. Ngo has made multiple reports. It is unfortunate and terrible that people are receiving these...

Here we go, folks. This election will determine whether we continue on as a free Republic with the Constitution and the rule of law preserving our republican form of government as established and continue guaranteeing our God-given Liberty or we go Venezuela. If we lose this election, the radical socialist-democrats will attempt to impose their globalist Green New Deal and carry out their plans to pack the courts and do what they wish as a godless one-party state with no constitutional constraints. Then (assuming they were to succeed in subduing we the people--we do have a prior and higher claim...

Alexander Hillel Treisman Most of the time, the media doesn’t outright lie to you. Yeah, every once in a while they’ll blurt out a huge whopper (“Russian collusion”), but usually it’s more subtle than that. They’ll give you the facts, but they’ll emphasize some facts over others to preserve the narrative they’re selling. They’ll lie by omission. They’ll distract you with trivia while the real story slips by you unnoticed. For example, did you hear about the guy they just arrested in North Carolina for plotting to kill Joe Biden? Do you think you know why he wanted to do...

Audio from poll trainings throughout October in the city of Detroit have revealed shocking corruption, unethical behavior, and perhaps even criminality from state employees who are tasked with protecting electoral integrity. On their YouTube channel, Detroit Leaks posted audio of state employees telling poll workers to lie to voters, destroy ballots, disenfranchise poll challengers, and even call the cops on individuals who object to the unfair process! This isn’t just saying Democrat’s plan to steal the election, this is them training poll workers to help them steal the election. “Audio from poll trainings, in the city of Detroit, have revealed...

In the final presidential debate, President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden argued over who had been better for the Black community, in ways we’ve heard them do before. Trump attacked Biden’s support for tough on crime policies in the 1990s; Biden called Trump “one of the most racist presidents we’ve had in modern history.” At one point, Trump offered a retort that got at something that has been cause for no small amount of worry among Democrats and the Biden campaign in the last few weeks. “Tens of thousands of Black men, mostly, in jail. And you know what?...

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 (King James Version) President Trump set the table by winning the final debate so now it is up to you to feast on those voters ready to be harvested. This is the perfect storm to make Hillary 2.0 as everything is the same for the District of Corruption and it will be that much sweeter as the Beltway threw everything they could and still will came up short. It will be as if America no longer loves the Three Pillars...

The latest IBD/TIPP Trump vs. Biden poll finds former Vice President Joe Biden with a wider lead over President Donald Trump. The tracking poll, which includes five days of polling, includes only one day after the last debate, but the initial sign doesn't suggest a big change in the race, the IBD/TIPP presidential poll update shows. The latest 2020 election poll update shows the Democratic challenger leading the Republican incumbent by 6.4 points, 50.7%-44.3%, in a four-way presidential poll of likely voters. Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen has the support of 2.2%, and Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins 0.7%. 2020 Presidential...

The worldwide communications media have reported with strong emphasis, as a change of course, the news that Pope Francis has declared that persons in the homosexual condition, as children of God, “have a right to have a family” and that “no one should be thrown out or be made unhappy because of it.” Moreover, they write that he has declared: “What we have to create is a civil union. In this way they will be legally covered. I have defended this.” The declarations were made in an interview with Evgeny Afineevsky, director of a documentary, “Francesco,” premiered on October 21,...

In the debate last night, President Trump finally talked about the most important impact of his energy policy. Energy independence means much more than low prices at the gas pump and on your utility bill. The widespread use of natural gas is also great for the environment and has lowered our carbon emissions. These are both wonderful outcomes, but they don’t hold a candle to the impact on foreign policy. In ten seconds, President Trump gives the money quote: We are energy independent for the first time. We don’t need all of these countries that we had to fight wars...

The two most important takeaways from the final presidential debate are these: First, no Republican presidential nominee should agree ever again to a debate organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD)—at least without major reforms. Second, no such candidate should ever consent to a “mainstream media” moderator. In the last presidential debate of the season the bias of Kristen Welker (NBC, MSNBC) was palpable: She repeatedly interrupted and quibbled with President Donald Trump, while presenting a much more respectful demeanor toward former Vice President Joe Biden. But far worse was her selection of topics. These seem to have been...

<p>Here in Middle America, there are small towns where going a couple of miles per hour over the speed limit will get you stopped by the town’s lone police officer. These “speed traps” are dotted throughout the region as, many times, a significant portion of a town’s revenue comes from issuing these tickets.</p>

Dr. Anthony Fauci says it might be necessary for Washington to impose a mask mandate on all 50 states, given the worrisome rise in coronavirus cases across the U.S. Fauci made the remarks during an interview on CNN. Previously Fauci had opposed a federal mask mandate as unworkable and unenforceable.CNN: Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been urging Americans to use masks for months. “I have trust in the American people that if we put a strong emphasis on the importance of wearing masks, that we will come around and do that and...

So, we’re back to the “All COVID All The Time” narrative in our national and local corrupt news media. Following the horrific debate performance by Quid Pro China Joe Biden on Thursday, the Democrats and their corrupt media toadies have decided that whipping up yet another round of hysteria about the China Flu is the only hope of getting their addled, elderly guy across the finish line. Thus, the full court press began on Friday, the day on which new “cases” of COVID-19 supposedly reached a new high since June. Sure it did. There was Creepy Uncle McWifeMolester himself, venturing...

Hunter Biden traveled to China on Air Force Two in December 2013 and arranged for his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to shake hands with the CEO of BHR. At the time of the meeting, which Hunter Biden later described as social in nature, BHR was seeking to raise $1.5 billion from Chinese state-backed investors. The firm currently manages the equivalent of $2.1 billion in assets, according to its website. Hunter Biden’s lawyer, on behalf of his client, said in a statement Sunday that the younger Biden had served as an unpaid member of BHR’s board since its founding in...

In late August, during the second week of school in Burlington, Wisconsin, Melissa Statz heard children in her fourth grade class talking about Kenosha. A couple of students had seen burned and boarded-up buildings in the nearby city, but they didn’t know the details of the protests that filled the streets after a police officer shot Jacob Blake, a Black man, in the back on Aug. 23. One student asked Statz, 30, if she knew what was going on in Kenosha, which is a half-hour drive from Burlington, a town of 11,000 that is 89 percent white. Statz thought this...

Antifa and Black Lives Matter, along with other far left groups across the country, are promising there will be riots if Donald Trumps wins re-election, and challenger Joe Biden loses. As Victoria Taft reports at PJ Media, “The ’Shut Down DC’ group, which is disappearing its web content faster than you can say antifa, implores its followers across the country to vote on ‘November 3rd. After You Vote, Hit the Streets!’ It appears that unrest, riots, and arson will happen anyway, regardless of what the polls say on Election Day. Just like every day in Portland.”

Police in Ireland have searched a suspected illicit pub, or "shebeen", on suspicion of breaching coronavirus measures. The property near Athy in County Kildare was targeted by Gardai officers on Friday evening. Gardai searched the suspected shebeen at about 8pm and found a fully operational bar in a repurposed state.

The premises was fitted with a bar, stools, tables, chairs, a 70in flat-screen television, and a full-size pool table. There were several beer taps on the bar, along with...
