Comparing Kari Lake to Deborah is like comparing a fox to a shepherd—foolish and insulting. In his latest sermon, Pastor Luke Barnett of Dream City Church showered Lake, a pro-choice Republican politician, with praise, likening her to the biblical prophet Deborah. “We are actually very honored and privileged to have an incredible guest with us this morning… We have Kari Lake in the house,” Barnett gushed. But let’s cut to the chase, this isn’t just political pandering—it’s a theological parody of the biblical narrative. Barnett didn’t stop there. He claimed, as she stands up to thunderous applause, “the Lord put...

Caleb J. Lines, Senior Minister of University Christian Church, whose church is part of the United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination, might hate Jesus more than anyone we know. We could tell you that he’s pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, and routinely insists that the bible should not be trusted, that it is not “God-breathed,” and that Jesus did not die for the sins of the world, but this recent Instagram post explains the level of reprobation we’re dealing with. In a recent sermon for “Comic-Con Sunday” Lines explains that a Canaanite woman was the only one to “rightly correct Jesus” after he...

A top pro-Trump super PAC is expanding its ad spending against Vice President Kamala Harris and launching new ads attacking her record as a prosecutor in California and on immigration. The PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., is adding an additional $32 million of ad buys from now until Labor Day, totaling $70 million. The group is focusing its spending — totaling roughly $12 million a week — in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona, according to details shared first with POLITICO.

Brand new battleground state polling shows President Trump winning the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, with a narrow 47-45% lead presently in head-to-head matchup with Kamala Harris. The poll was posted by American Greatness, and used North Star Opinion Research to question 600 likely voters there. The sample included a breakdown of voters who went for Biden +2% over Trump in the last 2020 election. The details of the survey expose that voters hold Kamala Harris responsible for the miserable failures of Bidenomics. For instance, on the foundational question of “were you better off under Trump or under Biden/Harris,” the...

Kim Burrell is a Grammy-nominated gospel singer and ‘pastor’ of Spirit of Faith Christian Center in Maryland, who previously garnered a bit of controversy after, in 2022, she mocked congregants for being “broke” and “ugly,” suggesting they were beneath her, and again in early 2024 after she acted like a diva over another member of the worship team singing along with her. Now, she’s apologizing for her 2017 ‘anti-LGBTQ’ comments. She told the audience at the 39th annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, for which the 51-year-old was accepting the Aretha Franklin Icon Award, that she was sorry for her “hurtful”...

Members of the local SWAT team assigned to protect former President Donald Trump at his rally on July 13 have revealed that they had no contact with the Secret Service prior to an assassination attempt on the former president. The shooting occurred on July 13 when a would-be assassin opened fire at Trump while he was addressing supporters. During an exclusive interview with ABC News’ senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky, the officers detailed how a lack of communication and planning failures led to a critical delay in identifying and neutralizing the threat. “They told us they had no communication with...

As we mull the shooting of Donald Trump and its aftermath, let’s consider, “What if?” What if the Secret Service had shot Thomas Matthew Crooks as he crawled across the roof, before he opened fire on the once and possibly future president? Crooks would have been a hero (and martyr) of the right wing. Headlines in right-leaning media would have screamed, “Young Trump Supporter Shot Dead by Feds Outside Rally.”

A report has found that the United States military is “not prepared” to fight in a major war, as “major powers” — such as Russia and China — have become “top threats” to the U.S., with China “outpacing” the U.S. The report, which the Commission on the National Defense Strategy released in July, reveals that while the U.S. is currently facing some of “the most serious and most challenging” threats since 1945, several problems are preventing the U.S. military from being able to address threats from China or Russia.

Staff at a facility for abused women and children unknowingly sheltered a transgender woman for weeks before she stabbed a warden so viciously her 'internal organs were exposed', police say. Michelle Silva Perez was offered a place at Shepherd's Gate in Greenville, South Carolina, less than four miles from a men's shelter also run by Miracle Hill Ministries. The 36-year-old had been evicted the evening before for 'not following the guidelines of the facility' but returned on July 18 armed with a sword before nearly disemboweling a staffer called Kirby. 'We found out last night that this attacker, who had...

Cooper, viewed as one of the top contenders for the role, is said to have expressed concern about going through the veepstakes process at age 67.
