PASTOR JAMES MACDONALD More than a month after winning a lucrative arbitration settlement against Harvest Bible Chapel in the greater Chicago area, founder James MacDonald has alleged elders colluded to oust him from the helm of the church in an unbiblical manner following a failed attempt at reconciliation.“Some are no doubt saying, ‘Dude, you got fired. It happens, even unjustly, all the time – own what you can, get over the rest and get on with your life,” he explained in a recent two part statement (part 1 and part 2) posted on his website.“I agree! And I surely would...

Neither is going to happen.Joe Biden’s gun-control plans have about zero chance of getting through Congress, especially if Republicans win at least one of the Georgia runoffs. That’s good, because his bright idea for restricting “assault weapons” would force America’s gun owners to choose between (a) giving up millions of their firearms and magazines to a federal “buyback” and (b) registering those guns with the federal government, paying billions of dollars in taxes for the privilege.Any guesses as to how that would play out in this country?As many readers may be old enough to remember, America had a ban on...

Indications to-day are decidedly in favor of an early change in the Cabinet. The state of affairs in Georgia, and the position of Secretary COBB has so affected him as to lay him up sick in bed. In the meantime, his family are packing up for home, and will be ready to leave in a few days. Mr. COBB now alleges that ill health precludes the possibility of his continuing in his laborious position. Secretary THOMPSON will no doubt follow suit, in view of the late action of the Mississippi Senators and Representatives, though without the pretext of ill health....

DUBAI (Reuters) - The assassination of a prominent Iranian nuclear scientist displayed “the depth of enemies’ hatred” towards the Islamic Republic, Iranian Defence Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami tweeted on Friday. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, long suspected by the West of masterminding a secret nuclear bomb programme, was killed near Tehran on Friday.

The father of a Phoenix man shot in the back by officers this month tells ABC15 there's "no justification" for the shooting. Phoenix police officers Austin Martin and Ryan O'Hayer reported they saw Brian Streeter, 35, fighting in the street with his girlfriend on November 13. When officers approached the couple at the corner of 19th Avenue and Indian School Road, Streeter turned and ran. Phoenix police released officer body-worn camera video of the shooting Wednesday. On the video, one officer yelled out that Streeter has a gun. Streeter pointed the gun at his own head as O'Hayer and Martin...

A Starbucks barista has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the company because she says she was fired for not wearing an LGBT PRIDE t-shirt.Starbucks claims that her suit is “without merit,” that the company does not require employees to wear any item of clothing other than their trademark green apron.But the woman, Betsy Fresse who worked at Starbucks in Hoboken, N.J., says the reason that was given for her termination was “her comportment was not in compliance with Starbucks’ core values.”Fresse’s trouble with the company began when she transferred to another store in New Jersey.NBCNews:In June 2019, she and...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Iran’s foreign minister is alleging the killing of a scientist linked to the country’s disbanded military nuclear program has “serious indications” of an Israeli role. Mohammad Javad Zarif made the statement Friday on Twitter. Israel has declined to comment, though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself has named the scientist slain outside of Tehran. “Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice - with serious indications of Israeli role - shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators,” Zarif wrote. An Iranian scientist that Israel alleged led the Islamic Republic’s military nuclear program until its disbanding in the...

Representative-elect Lauren Boebert is trolling her home state of Colorado’s local shutdown orders by finding a way to bypass them this Thanksgiving.In an interview published Wednesday with Fox News, Boebert (R-Colo.) slammed local orders limiting personal gatherings to 10 people in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus, arguing that it was absurd to curtail the number of people who could gather for Thanksgiving when the state permitted gatherings of up to 30 for funerals.

Attention moderators. This is a test thread to see if the fixes I was suggested work with an identical post I had troubles with on my links. It has been said that while money is the biggest stumbling block to the rich, worry is the biggest stumbling block to the poor. However, I have read about many rich people worrying about their money and I have known many poor people who have stumbled with what little money they did have. We live in the most powerfully affluent society the world has ever seen, not since Solomon ruled Israel has a...

Joe Biden was playing at being president today, giving a ‘Thanksgiving message.’ But Joe Biden being Joe Biden meant that not only was he falsely assuming a role he didn’t have, namely president, but that he also was going to just completely mess it up. First, he told people it was their “patriotic duty” to “forego family traditions” for Thanksgiving because of the Wuhan coronavirus. en urges nation to 'forgo family traditions' on Thanksgiving https://t.co/B6FcGnsd4T pic.twitter.com/n9Se6vCdNB — New York Post (@nypost) November 25, 2020They couldn’t even get the attempted “halo” picture right with the pictures, instead it came out looking...

There is perhaps no less self-aware, or no less shameless if you rightly assume bad motives, of a group than the mainstream media. They manage to routinely do the very things they are currently denigrating others for, all the while pretending to be vastly morally and intellectually superior. Pushing conspiracy theories over the last four years may be the most egregious example of this, with CNN and MSNBC, among many others, essentially becoming no better than Alex Jones (and at least he’s entertaining).Remember, these are the same people who insisted for four long years that Donald Trump was a Russian...

Sidney Powell filed lawsuits in both Michigan and Georgia on Wednesday night alleging multiple constitutional violations and seeking to have the elections decertified.But people soon noticed something funny when they tried to share the link to her suits on her website on Twitter. As the Epoch Times reported, such efforts were flagged with “Something went wrong, but don’t fret—let’s give it another shot” and another message warning of an unsafe link if you went to the site, “We can’t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.

How many times have you heard this: "It's time..." Well, it IS time for a change and... I really do believe that the Michigan triumvirate of Whitmer (D), Nessel (D) and Benson (D) conspired, coordinated and engaged in systemic election fraud with the cooperation of local (D) election officials and individuals who took it upon themselves to vote illegally. Not only that, they were aware of the plan's involvement of foreign bad actors and communist governments well in advance of the COVID-19 pandemic's appearance on the global stage of events. Supported by members of the Michigan (D) legisla- ture, these...

Universities’ profligate spending habits have caught up with them after substantial losses in student enrollments due to COVID-19. As undergraduate enrollment fell by 4.4 percent and students had fewer “on-campus experiences,” universities desperately began laying off employees. Some even have plans to consolidate departments and entire campuses. Those actions spell trouble for the future of the shared governance tradition on American campuses. Shared governance allows faculty to participate in determining university priorities pertaining to administrative hires, education policies, and the budget. Faculty participation in university governance allows academic and educational interests to have a seat at the decision-making table. While...

The Kraken is crackin' some heads, now. Hallelujah! His will be done and so will these traitors, who have stolen our election, be done very soon. God's got this!

The root of what socialism leads to is suffering, starvation, and misery. The “why” is that socialism is both morally and theoretically bankrupt; because of that, socialism leads to only bad things. Socialism is a morally bankrupt ideology because it is all about handing control to the leaders and limiting freedom, as Friedman hints at. Individual liberty is a natural right; it was given by God to all humanity. Systems like socialism that restrain that liberty in unjust ways are morally bankrupt. As a result of its moral bankruptcy, socialism leads to misery and suffering; humans cannot naturally live in...
