Shepherds for Sale

Frank Turek, Megan Basham

Could your favorite celebrity pastor or your church's leadership compromise the truth in exchange for cultural approval (and a BIG paycheck)? Many prominent evangelical leaders have become more and more outspoken in questioning the Bible's clear teachings on political issues like natural marriage and life in the womb, leading to confusion and concern about their underlying motives.

Olympics Face Cancellation Of Advertising, Boycotts, And Rebuke For Celebrating Debauchery

(Harbingers Daily) Believers around the world are expressing offense over the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, which featured drag queens reenacting Da Vinci’s The Last Supper, as well as other inappropriate acts.

During the drag performance, the group assembled themselves around a table, a lesbian woman in the middle with a semblance of a halo above her head, to create a tableau resembling the painting—which depicts Jesus and His disciples during the Lord’s Supper not long before Christ was crucified.

'This Is Crazy': Two Male Boxers Given Green Light to Compete Against Women in Olympics

(Townhall) Two male boxers have been cleared to participate in the Paris Olympics as women, a move Riley Gaines and other critics say could get their opponents killed.

“As if the Satanic display at the opening ceremony wasnt enough, the Olympics glorifies men punching women in the face with the intent of knocking them unconscious,” the former collegiate swimmer said. “Imane Khelif is 1 of 2 male boxers fighting women at the Olympics. A woman is going to die.”

Packs of “Fighting Age Males” in Military Uniforms Entering U.S. through Remote Arizona Town

(Judicial Watch) As the nation’s largest southern border crossings finally receive mainstream media coverage years into an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis, untold numbers of “fighting age males” dressed in military uniforms are entering the United States through remote areas with no Border Patrol presence. It is a palpable security lapse unlikely to be reported by most news outlets and local, federal, and state law enforcement sources have provided Judicial Watch with detailed accounts, reports, diagrams, and photos of the situation which is terrorizing residents in a once harmonious Arizona town just a few miles from Mexico. They blame the Biden administration’s catastrophic open border policies for the serious problems that have gripped the area in the last few years.

The Santa Cruz and Pima County regions in southwestern Arizona have been slammed with extraordinary violence and crime fueled by Mexican cartels—smuggling drugs and humans—that are victimizing fourth and fifth-generation cattle farmers who have captured thousands of illegal immigrants on security cameras passing through their property since Joe Biden became president. Sometimes they find dead bodies and drug paraphernalia.

Purple Heart Recipient Sam Brown Claps Back at NV Dems Calling Him 'Just Plain Weird'

(Townhall) But, as Brown also quickly mentioned, "I don't even really have a message for them, I have a message for anyone else out there who has been labeled or called 'weird' because of the experiences that you've had, whether it's visible like my scars, or maybe invisible scars, we're all unique. We've all been given gifts, and we have people out there who want to label us based off of that. So my message to you, to those of you who have been put down by others, is do not allow them to define you, do not live out the narrative that they cast out for your life."

The Purple Heart recipient also mentioned that "I am proud of my scars. They might look a little different, but, it gives me an opportunity to encourage others. And so lean into it, lean into the things that make you unique, lean into the things that others might call 'weird' and realize that your experience, whether it's suffering or something else, gives you an opportunity to connect with others and give them hope."

Kamala Harris Is The Most Queer-Promoting Presidential Candidate Ever

(Federalist) A growing number of people — especially children — who undergo social or physical “transitions,” such as adopting false pronouns, undergoing mutilation, or taking sterilizing drugs, suffer harrowing, life-threatening consequences. The irreversible damage transgenderism does to kids and adults alike, however, hasn’t stopped the Biden-Harris duo from making it a centerpiece of their bureaucratic agenda.opening ceremony of the Olympics is supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it was an abomination. It was supposed to be a festivity. Instead, it was blasphemy. The opening ceremony was described as “wet, wild, and weird”—and certainly it was all of that. It was dark, macabre, and outrageously sacrilegious.

BLINDED BY HATE

(Mist Carter) On July 24, 2024 Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his fourth address to the joint-session of Congress, and what a speech it was!  Surprise, surprise…it was powerful, inspirational, and most of all truthful – something we are not used to from many political leaders in America.

Of course, those leaders who hate America are so blinded by hate that they can’t see, hear, or embrace when truth is revealed.  They are traumatized by hate – kind of like a mythical vampire who reacts to a crucifix. 

It was again evident today when people like Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pramila Jayapal, Patty Murray, Jim Clyburn, and Tim Kaine decided to boycott Netanyahu’s speech.  Yet, what was more telling was the current VP and presumptive Democrat nominee for President of the United States, Kamala Harris who chose to deliver a speech to a black sorority group (Zeta Phi Beta) in Indianapolis, where she lied about Trump’s campaign embraces “Project 2025”, and of course emphasized reproductive rights, i.e. killing babies in the womb.
