The Reality Is…There are threats that face the Christian Church, and the cause of those threats is sin. Sin affects every member of the Christian faith, no matter the status. Sin causes us to stumble and sets us back in our cause for Christ. Ultimately, it should remind us how desperate we need the forgiveness and guidance of God.But which sin seems to set us back the most? What are we glossing over, pushing under the rug, and pretending isn’t there? That, my friends, is sexual sin. In 2016, Josh McDowell told CBN News, “pornography is probably the greatest threat...

Thursday, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) pushed back against criticism from the GOP over President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would nominate a black woman to replace outgoing-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. Durbin argued on CNN’s “New Day” that both former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump announced they would nominate a woman to the Supreme Court and noted the same people upset about Biden’s plan to nominate a black woman have never voted for a black nominee.

If you have the time listen to this interview. This is Brandon Straka, the founder of the "Walk away movement". The interview starts around the 39:46 time, it's absolutely outrageous what happened to this guy. He did absolutely NOTHING but videotape people on Jan. 6th and five days after the Biden occupation took power, Nancys SA Storm Detachment "the FBI" raided Strakas house arresting him saying he was being charged on "multiple felonies". He ultimately got 3 months home arrest, 3 YEARS probation, 30 hours community service, the maximum $5000 fine and an additional $500 for the damage done to...

CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron commented to New York magazine about Black Lives Matter’s $60 million in cash left over from fundraising in 2020, saying BLM was like a “giant ghost ship full of treasure drifting in the night with no captain, no discernible crew, and no clear direction.”Indeed, no one — including any of the so-called “leaders” at Black Lives Matter — knows who’s in charge of that money.Reason.com:That $90 million is an impressive total. But according to multiple media reports, two-thirds of it—$60 million—remain unspent. What was spent, and how it was spent, also raises serious questions. And...

Ned Kelly is an Australian folk hero. When his family was persecuted by cruel, corrupt police, he fought back and was executed. Then a royal commission was held and those police responsible were sacked. He was a cop killer. But he killed murderers of decency and 7freedom. The same police force still does horrible things to its political masters' enemies. And mothers can still love their sons and daughters with all their hearts.

Leftists turning on BLM....

Tucker Carlson is attracting more Democratic viewers between the ages of 25-54 than CNN and MSNBC, according to The Wrap.Carlson is a frequent target of the far left for his pro-Russian rants and because he’s giving voice to conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. But there are many Democrats who are apparently entertained by Carlson–or perhaps they like getting angry.More surprising are the stats about Carlson and Fox News’ pull with self-proclaimed Democrats. Of those demo-aged viewers surveyed who identified as Democrats, 39% chose Fox News, 31% chose MSNBC and 30% chose CNN for programming from 8 p.m. ET to...

Facebook's user numbers declined for the first time in its history last quarter.Facebook's parent company Meta reported daily active user numbers of 1.929 billion over the last three months of 2021. In Q3 of 2021, it reported an average of 1.93 billion active users. This means it lost roughly 1 million users over that period.Facebook stock plunged 22% in premarket trading following its Q4 earnings.CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in the company's earnings call that the company's social-media business is facing stiff competition.

Last week, Joe Biden declared that he intends to nominate "the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court."Biden had reportedly promised House majority whip Jim Clyburn during the 2020 campaign that he would nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court.So what does one make of this declaration?It is a grave affront to any candidate for any position to be openly declared as "diversity" hire because it means that the primary criteria for her selection are genetics and not merit.Besides being anachronistic, Biden's public declaration is an insult to the nominee. History will always recognize her...

The NFL’s procedure for determining draft order creates a clear incentive to tank. Usually, it kicks in once a team is eliminated from playoff contention, mathematically or as a practical matter. It happened most conspicuously in 2014, when the Buccaneers removed roughly half of their starters at halftime of a Week 17 game against the Saints, which Tampa Bay led by double digits. The Saints came back and won, the Buccaneers lost, and the Bucs secured dibs on the first pick in the 2015 draft. (They took Jameis Winston; some would say the punishment ultimately fit the crime.)

TORONTO, February 3, 2022 — Today, the online video platform Rumble announced that it reached new highs in January with approximately 10.8 billion minutes watched and averaging 4,383 hours of uploaded video per day.

Los Angeles City Councilmen Paul Koretz, Paul Krekorian, and Mitch O’Farrell introduced a motion on Wednesday that could lead to Los Angeles implementing an ordinance to require all gun owners in the city to have firearm liability insurance, as well as pay an annual fee.

President Joe Biden spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, recalling when he saw black children on a bus in Delaware when he was a child. During his remarks, Biden recalled when his mom drove him to a small Catholic school in Delaware:

On March 1st, President Biden will travel down Pennsylvania Avenue and address a joint session of Congress, sort of, in his first State of the Union address. Though technically not a SOTU, Biden also delivered a low-rated and utterly forgettable speech last spring before a sparsely-attended gathering of mask-wearing members in the House chamber. Speaker Pelosi and company decided that COVID-related social distancing required severely limiting the capacity, even though all members of Congress had been given access to vaccines by that point. Democrats were accused of engaging in 'COVID theater,' but they were in charge and got their way....

Super Bowl party fare is traditionally salty, cheesy, greasy, and meaty. Wings, pizza, burgers, dogs, and bacon-flecked, creamy dips—all delicious, but not exactly friendly to vegetarians. Eating meat and watching footballs are still—in the year 2022—branded as masculine activities, while avoiding meat and eating more vegetables remains feminine-coded (at least if you ask the Barstool crowd, who seem to hate women and vegetables in equal parts). But vegetarians and vegans (and even women!) can enjoy a football game, and if you plan to invite them to your Big Game party, you should be prepared to serve something they can eat....

A Bloomberg Opinion editor actually suggested humanity just blot out the sun to fight global warming. Bloomberg Opinion Editor Michael Newman wrote a senseless blog headlined, “What if We Blotted Out the Sun to Fight Global Warming?” He probably subconsciously realized the suggestion was insane, as he hedged in his subheadline: “It’s risky, but then again the path we’re on now may be even riskier.” Newman called “solar geoengineering” one of the “great hopes” to “stop or slow climate change.” He explained the idea as “an attempt to figure out a way to cool the planet by deflecting some of...

Asked why fame, fortune and retirement might not be enough, and why he is willing to face relentless attacks aimed at discouraging another run at the presidency, former President Donald Trump offered Newsmax a simple answer: America is too important for him to stop now. ... "They were staging a coup," Trump told host Rob Schmitt. "They were trying to get us out of office. ... "Our country is going to hell and we're going to make American great again, again, I sort of say," Trump continued. "And I smile, but there's nothing to smile about, because our country is...
