Yet what we’re seeing now with the Dems fully in charge is the exact opposite.I already warned you about the PRO Act, a national version of California’s AB 5 law. How did that experiment work out in the state laboratory?...

Its draw is that it uses its branding as a way of self-identifying as a sexuality type just like those in the LGBTQ+ would use for being gay, lesbian, trans, etc… According to the rules of their community, this makes someone unquestionable for being a sexuality they were ‘born’ with and can’t help, which must be respected at all times. Challenge accepted and Despite attempts at stopping the upward trend of the “super...

Some things are rather coincidental and also predictable. For Beth Moore, leaving the SBC in a coordinated announcement with the help of the pagan Religious News Service is one of those things. The coincidence being that one year ago she gave a sermon on a Sunday morning at a Southern Baptist church.In this video I do a walkthrough of the sermon that Beth Moore gives at the aptly named Progressive Baptist Church where Charlie Dates preached. The sermon is pack full of bad exegesis. In December 2020, Charlie Dates would leave the Southern Baptist Convention because it was not adopting...

It would also affect protesters who wear ski masks and bandanas. The ban exempts venues that are religious...

Most people still don’t realize this, but the truth is that we have entered an apocalyptic time in human history.

Those that have been hoping that our lives would soon “return to normal” will be greatly disappointed, because what we have experienced so far is just the beginning. Now that the warmongers are back in control in Washington, we should expect a steady stream of...

Bob Adams has something that most people do not — a memory from 1923. “I was just learning to walk, and I started to follow my father down to the basement — he went down to fix the furnace,” Adams says. “I started after him, and I went tumbling down to the landing and hit my head on the cat’s dish.” When Adams hit his head on that cat dish, he was 2 years old. On Feb. 15, 98 years later, Adams celebrated his 100th birthday, and he celebrated in style, with a personal car parade outside of his apartment...
