Sen. Raphael Warnock, who once served as senior pastor at the Atlanta church where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached, deleted a tweet on Easter Sunday after critics blasted him as a “heretic.” Warnock claimed people are able to “save” themselves through good works. “The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves,” he said in the now-deleted tweet. Attorney Jenna Ellis and others pointed out the remarks were "heresy." “This is a false gospel and heresy. We...

Are you familiar with the concept of contouring, the makeup technique that uses cosmetics to enhance facial features? If applied effectively, contouring has the potential to turn an average face into an aesthetically appealing one.Contouring is really a consequence of the times. People feel pressured to look a certain way, and many respond by desperately attempting to make themselves appear more attractive than they really are. An individual who contours is compensating for perceived flaws.Of course, the contouring effect is applicable to much more than human faces.Montero Lamar Hill, more commonly referred to as Lil Nas X, recently released a...

Ronald Yandell, 58 — a Sacramento Main Jail inmate who faces the death sentence — claims his first amendment rights were violated when prison officials failed to provide him with meat-less meals “for religious reasons,” according to a lawsuit reported by the Mercury News.

By now, you have probably heard that a rapper named “Lil Nas X” has just released a special line of “Satan Shoes”. The rapper’s real name is Montero Lamar Hill, and I am not familiar with his music at all and I don’t plan to ever become familiar with it. But this story is not about his music. Working with a company known as “MSCHF”, Lil Nas X took hundreds of pairs of Nike Air Max 97s and turned them into “hellish sneakers”. In particular, the fact that there is one drop of human blood in each shoe has really...

During the debate yesterday over the Equality Act, a measure that would create a right to kill babies in abortions and force Americans to fund abortions, Republicans accused Democrats of ignoring Biblical values. And a surprising comment from pro-abortion Democrat Congressman Jerry Nadler confirmed that to be true. Part of the debate over the pro-abortion measure revolved around sex and gender issues and Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) upset Democrats when he confirmed God makes boys and girls unique. “When men or women claim to be able to choose their own sexual identity, they are making a statement that God did...

An avowed white supremacist was sentenced on Friday to 19-1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty months ago to a federal hate-crimes case stemming from a botched plot to bomb a historic Colorado synagogue in 2019. Richard Holzer, 28, appeared in a federal courtroom in Denver for a sentencing that capped an undercover FBI investigation of a plan to blow up Temple Emanuel in Pueblo, Colorado, the second-oldest synagogue in the state. Although the plot was thwarted, U.S. District Judge Raymond Moore said Holzer had sought “to terrorize the Jewish community” of Pueblo, a city of 112,000 residents about 100...

February 10, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Just weeks into 2021, and abortion is front and center in American politics once again, with more than a dozen pro-life laws surfacing at state legislatures, Biden’s executive orders, and the balance of power tilting once again towards the blood-bloated feticide monopoly Planned Parenthood. And speak of the Devil, the Satanic Temple is at it again as well, this time in Texas. I’ve followed the pro-abortion efforts of the Satanic Temple in the space for a couple of years. Last August, they launched a campaign claiming that “Satanic Abortions Are Protected By Religious Liberty Laws,”...

We all like an electric guitar fitted with a nice bone nut and saddle. But how about one that’s just, well, bones? Meet YouTuber Prince Midnight, who constructed a guitar with a body built from an actual human skeleton. The skeleton, as Prince Midnight tells Guitar World, belonged to his uncle, Filip, who passed away in the ‘90s in Greece.

I believe we (Americans) are living in the equivalent of the times of ancient Judah when Manasseh came into power. Judah had previously enjoyed prosperity and relative peace during the righteous reign of their former king, Hezekiah. Now, I am not comparing Donald Trump to Hezekiah, as I do not consider Trump to be a particularly righteous person. However, he did what was right in regards to the betterment of his own people (Make America Great Again), as did King Hezekiah. On the other hand, Manasseh did what was right in his own eyes and did not care how it...

The 2018 “Protect Life Rule” required abortion businesses to both fiscally and physically separate family planning/birth control services from their abortion-related business. It also stated that family planning centers must stop referring patients for abortions in order to receive Title X funding. Title X states, “None of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a...

President-elect Joe Biden is poised to roll back several of the Trump administration's most restrictive sexual and reproductive health policies, including limits on abortion. Reproductive rights advocates expect Biden to quickly overturn Trump-era rules, like banning federal funds for foreign and national health organizations that promote and provide abortion and giving employers more freedom to deny free contraceptive coverage for their workers. "We have a ton of work to do to undo the harm over the last four years, but knowing we have champions there who understand what needs to happen in the first 100 days is tremendously exciting," said...

Now Congress Opens with a Prayer to Hindu God Brahma: Remember KALI on the Empire State Building? Is It any Surprise That the Fierce Judgment of God is Against Us?

Almost six years ago, NYC celebrated the killing of the innocent babies by shining the image of Hindu Goddess KALI – Goddess of Destruction; also known as “The Dark one” and “She who is Death. Brahma is the “Creator god” in Hinduism. Satan must be ecstatically happy that the U.S. is recognizing a Hindu “creator” but...

A House Democrat tasked with leading the body in an opening prayer for the new Congress has gendered the word “amen.” To close a prayer he delivered from the House chamber Sunday to mark the swearing in of the 117th Congress, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), an ordained minister, altered the traditional “amen” to say “amen and awoman.” “May the lord lift up the light of his countenance upon us and give us peace,” Cleaver said during his two-minute invocation, “Peace in our families, peace across this land, and dare I ask o Lord, peace even in this chamber.” “We ask...

In a major win for the LGBTQ community, Switzerland lawmakers approved the legalization of same-sex marriage last week. At the same time, the law also allowed transgender people to alter their legal gender at civil registry offices in the country and allows lesbian couples to conceive children using donated sperm, Reuters reports. Despite passing parliament, the same-sex marriage law may have to pass a national referendum in the coming year. However, activists expect a potential referendum to succeed, after a recent survey found support for marriage exceeding 80% in Switzerland. Campaign group Marriage For All posted a statement on their...
