As Americans seek to be accurately informed, how does one protect themselves from believing and spreading false information? And how can one consistently spot the truth amidst an abundance of error?With citizens struggling to find trusted media sources, the need for truth has never been greater. A recent Gallup Poll showed that only 9% of Americans trust the media “a great deal,” while 60% “have little to no trust” in the media to report in an unbiased manner.As our team of researchers at iVoterGuide provide analysis for thousands of candidates in thousands of races across the country, this is something...

Eight years ago, it emerged that, during Obama’s reelection campaign, the IRS refused to grant tax-exempt status to Tea Party groups. Since then, the IRS has been relatively dormant. However, it’s now back at its old tricks. The Epoch Times reports that, when the IRS received an application for tax-exempt status from a Texas group that encourages its members to pray for all state and national leaders, an official denied the application on partisan political grounds.Here are the facts from the Epoch Times:An IRS official denied tax-exempt status to a Texas group that encourages church members to pray for state...

Contempt for this country has been spreading from academia, where it first gained a foothold during the Vietnam War, to infect the commanding heights of our institutions. The cities and towns that hist the most prestigious colleges and universities almost without exception are bastions of the left. Berkeley, California, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Cambridge, Mass, and not least Evanston, Illinois, home of Northwestern University.Evanston, Illinois made headlines recently by becoming the first city in the country to pay “reparations” to Black residents who lived there between 1919 and 1967, or who were descended from someone who did, and who “had been...

It is thirty-four years in the future. The year is 2055. A dystopian future worse than that of SkyNet for this is MagaNet where the followers of the Bad Orange Man rule without opposition. Yet there is hope, for an elderly Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are able to transmit a message to the people of 2021 to warn them of the horror that is to come unless they pass the SR1 voting bill to federalize elections and take it out of state hands as laid out in the Constitution.This is the premise of an unintentionally hilarious new ad released...

I am so old that I remember when National Guard troops were authorized to shoot looters on sight following natural disasters. The understanding back then was that if allowed to spread, looting was a mortal threat to the health of communities. Things are very different today, as NBC News (to its credit) reports:In late May and early June 2020, looters smashed storefronts in the Bronx and Manhattan boroughs of New York City.Many were caught on tape, some with their faces visible. Others even posted their own videos of their actions those nights on social media. Hundreds were arrested.But a review...

That opens the silver and bronze medals wide open. Among the major contenders for those spots are the American Sarah Robles, whose best total is 290kg but who tends to total in the 280kg range, Emily Campbell from Britain, who just made 276kg at the European Championships and looks good for another 10kg at the Olympic Games. The deadline for weightlifters to qualify for the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games is tomorrow (May 31) and there is no doubt about who, among the qualifiers, wins the gold medal for attracting publicity. That award goes to someone who was unknown in...

Whether we are talking about COVID-19 in regards to its origin, vaccines and treatments; or whether we are talking about the fact that the FBI organized the events of January 6th; or whether we are talking about the massive voter fraud that stole the 2020 Election from Donald Trump, the evidence continues to mount that we are going up against a massive globalist cabal that will lie, cheat and steal in order to destroy America by any means necessary. 2020 was the year of conspiracy theories. We saw the fraudulent Impeachment proceedings… twice! We witnessed the outbreak of COVID-19 and...

New Mexico is an oil and gas colony. The fossil fuel industry has operated in our state for more than a century, removing hundreds of billions of dollars of profit from New Mexico while leaving an expensive mess for New Mexicans to clean up. While industry leaders crow about their contributions to New Mexico’s budget, the cost to clean up the mess they’ve left us pales in comparison to their contributions. There are an estimated 60,000 inactive wells statewide. They contaminate our groundwater, leak methane into the atmosphere, impact wildlife habitat and endanger the health of our people. It is...

A Video This is just a taste of what will be at the Second Trumpet. Note: all coastal cities will be wiped out by the meteor-induced tsunami (Rev. 8:8). This absolutely horrific event will take place before the Mark of the Beast is instituted (Rev. 13). Note that the Seal and Trumpet Judgments (Rev. 6-9) take place before the reign of the Anti-Christ at the last 42 months of the 7 year tribulation period (Rev. 13). The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) confirmed it has reinstated its chief of diversity and inclusion, Richard Torres-Estrada, following an investigation into politically charged social media posts he made, including one that compared former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. SOCOM reassigned Torres-Estrada in late March after some of his social media posts drew attention for their anti-Trump and anti-Republican leanings. For example, on June 2, 2020, he tweeted a meme that criticized Trump by comparing a photo of him to a doctored photo of Hitler. He added the caption: “Here I leave this and slowly retire (to continue...
