The “patriarchal white Christian nationalist platform” closely resembles Nazism, especially because of its opposition to abortion, LGBT Nation asserted this week. In the essay titled “Today’s white Christian nationalists are looking more and more like Nazis,” Warren Blumenfeld states that Christian conservatives who oppose abortion are peddling an agenda that is “scarily similar to Nazi ideology. “Though I rarely offer comparisons between the German Third Reich’s ascension to power and the contemporary United States – since to do so could trivialize one of the most horrific episodes in human history – I am nonetheless haunted by certain parallels that demand...

In this 2024 year, who knows what to expect in our EXPONENTIAL deteriorating and lawless day, but in it all, we know WHO we are expecting and looking for with great joy (John 14:3, 1 Thes. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4))! Beloved, daily bombardments from this demonic world seek to rattle and destroy the faith of the men and women of Almighty God (John 16:33; Eph. 6:10-12, 1 Peter 5:8). It is so easy to look inwardly and subjectively and see ourselves as poor wretched victims. It is sad to say that many blood brought children of Almighty God in Christ...

A sure way to make a movie flop is to hire a director who alienates a big chunk of the audience before the film is even released. Will Disney ever learn? Not until it goes broke, it would seem. The company has hired activist and documentary filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy to direct the next “Star Wars” movie, slated to be released in 2026. Obaid-Chinoy is on record saying, “We’re in 2024 now, and I think it’s about time that we had a woman come forward to shape the story in a galaxy far, far away.” In case Obaid-Chinoy isn’t aware, Lucasfilm...

Daily Readings from the USCCBThey said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. John 1:38–39What an interesting exchange. Andrew was one of two disciples of John the Baptist who heard John say that Jesus was the “Lamb of God.” As a result, Andrew and the other disciple left the Baptist and started to physically follow Jesus. As they began to follow Jesus, He turned to them and asked them what they...

The Biden administration carved out paid administrative leave to encourage federal bureaucrats and other employees—seen as a loyal Democrat constituency—to volunteer as poll workers. The administration also requires federal agencies to grant four hours of leave for voting to employees, according to records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project obtained the documents. The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation. “In recent years, more and more private sector employers have provided time off to their employees to vote,” OPM Director Kiran Ahuja writes in...

Bidenomics has cast a gloom over the housing market. Mortgage rates up 130% under Biden while housing prices have soared. For the average American, 2023 was the worst year ever for housing affordability—and now there’s more data to back it up. According to Redfin data analyzed by Creditnews Research, the average U.S. household can only afford 15.5% of the homes that went up for sale in 2023—the lowest on record. By comparison, the average household had the means to buy 20.7% of homes for sale in 2022 and over 40% before the pandemic. Redfin data also showed the number of...

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) criticized Harvard University's former President Claudine Gay during his first public stop in Iowa of 2024 without acknowledging he is a graduate of the Ivy League institution. "Have you guys seen [the situation] with this Harvard president and all the nonsense that's happened there?" DeSantis asked a crowd in Waukee, Iowa, on Wednesday. "It's these places, I mean, are just nuts with what's gone on there?" DeSantis graduated in 2001 from Yale University, where he was captain of the baseball team. He went on to attend Harvard Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor in...

Mayor Eric Adams took a moment to brag Wednesday — that New York City isn’t as bad as Los Angeles. “This is another city in America,” Hizzoner proclaimed to a room full of reporters Wednesday afternoon, holding up a picture of a packed homeless encampment in LA’s infamous Skid Row neighborhood. “This is what I saw when I drove around the city January 1st, 2022. This is an example of another city in America.” Adams flashed the tragic scene while touting the Big Apple’s year-end crime stats, which show overall crime across Gotham dropped slightly in 2023 — down 0.3%...

At Cabrillo College near Santa Cruz, Nikia Chaney stands out. You can spot her bright pink hair from a distance. She’s also the only Black professor out of the community college’s 165 tenured or tenure-track faculty. “When I first got hired in 2019, I didn’t look up the demographics of the school or anything like that. I was just really happy I had a full time job,” she said. But after arriving on campus, she started to feel isolated. “You don’t have faculty members who look like you,” she said.

U.S. District New York Judge Loretta Preska’s ordered release of 187 names that had been previously withheld from court records in a case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accomplice and lover, have finally been unveiled. Their release was ordered by Judge Preska in December, but she allowed the Jane and John Does to file an appeal. Among the figures listed were Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Doug Band, a longtime advisor to former President Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who killed himself last year.

Rapper 50 Cent slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom over the decision to use taxpayer money to fund health care for illegal aliens. Undocumented immigrants of all ages will qualify for Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for extremely low-income people, San Jose Inside reported. “I don’t understand this, this it going to cost 2.6 billion dollars for tax payers,” 50 Cent said in a Wednesday Instagram post. “They don’t even give veterans health insurance.” “[MSNBC anchor Ari Melber] call my phone now, help me understand this S***. WTF.” The rapper also included an image of California Governor Gavin Newsom in...

NEW YORK, NY - After the release of unredacted documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case was suddenly delayed this week, authorities confirmed the unexpected holdup was designed to give Bill Clinton extra time to flee the country. A federal court clerk told reporters that Clinton requested a few extra weeks to pack up his things, say his goodbyes, and flee to a remote island after it's finally confirmed he was a regular associate of Epstein. "Yeah, Bill called in a favor and asked if he could have a little extra time to get his affairs in order," the clerk...

Everyday costs incurred by American workers since President Joe Biden assumed office are only “more expensive on paper,” New York Times economic reporter Jeanna Smialek wrote Wednesday about the “good news” economy. Members of the establishment media constantly appear to use a semantic trick to express optimism about the president’s economy, when, in fact, Americans are very unhappy about the increased costs: Gallup: 61 percent of Americans say price increases caused them financial hardship. CNBC: A record high 66 percent of Americans are “pessimistic” about the future of Biden’s economy. Lending Club: 62 percent of adults in December said they...

Bomb threats were sent to Jewish schools and synagogues across Southern California this week, as a wave of antisemitism continues. Breitbart News sources indicate that 20 Jewish institutions in Los Angeles received bomb threats on Tuesday, causing those Jewish schools that had been scheduled to open on January 2 to remain closed. In San Diego, six synagogues (or temples) were threatened, as the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Wednesday:

Activists are calling for even more refugees and migrants to be brought to Minnesota to settle there, even as millions of illegal aliens continue to pour across the border filling the welfare rolls. More than 1,500 refugees were brought to the Gopher State in 2023, triple the number sent to the state by federal officials in 2022. And that is up from the 258 sent in 2021, the Star Tribune reported. The number of refugees was lower during the President Donald Trump era, the paper says, but this year, 443 came from Somalia, while other groups came from the Congo...

Haley, in response, said that while Americans are rightfully frustrated with illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border, she urged the audience not to use language like “criminals” to describe illegal aliens because “they’re not.” She said: So I think that what we have to remember and what I’ve always believed is that we’re a country of laws. That is what’s made us strong so it’s incredibly frustrating for a lot of people when they see the illegal immigrants being able to come across. It really is astonishing that after all these years, D.C. can’t figure out how to build...
