Jesus joins QAnon?! ‘Passion of the Christ’ star stirs controversy as he cryptically dives into ‘adrenochroming of children’

‘Passion of the Christ’ actor Jim Caviezel is being aligned with the QAnon movement by critics after delving into what he called “adrenochroming of children” at a right-wing conference.

At a ‘Health and Freedom Conference,’ featuring prominent supporters of former US President Donald Trump like MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, Caviezel made reference to “adrenochrome” when speaking about the real-life version of a character he plays in the upcoming film, ‘Sound of Freedom.’

In the movie, Caviezel portrays Tim Ballard, who became a popular figure among QAnon followers for his work with his group The Nazarene Fund, which works to “liberate the captive, to free the enslaved, and to rescue, rebuild and restore the lives of Christians and other persecuted religious and ethnic minorities wherever and whenever they are in need.”

Explaining that Ballard was supposed to attend the conference with him, Caviezel said the former Department of Homeland Security official was off saving children at the moment from the “darkest recesses of Hell right now,” one of those apparently being the “adrenochroming of children.” 

Adrenochrome a frequent term central to QAnon conspiracy theories regarding the alleged sex trafficking of children by influential figures in politics and entertainment. Adrenochrome is a chemical compound produced by adrenaline, and QAnon conspiracy theorists claim the consumption of adrenochrome from minors have regenerative powers.

China Launches New App Allowing Citizens to Report Others For Expressing ‘Mistaken Opinions’

  • Targets dissidents who dispute country’s history or criticize ruling Communists.

China’s Communist government has launched a new app that encourages citizens to report dissidents for expressing “mistaken opinions” on the Internet.

The new platform will target anyone who criticizes the dictatorship’s ruling CCP, disputes the official version of the country’s history or engages in “misinformation.”

The new website and app was proudly unveiled by China’s Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), with authorities calling on users to play an “active role” in helping to identify “malicious people distorting facts and confusing” others.

“For a while now, some people with ulterior motives…have spread historically nihilistic false statements online, maliciously distorting, slandering and denying Party, national and military history in an attempt to confuse people’s thinking,” the announcement said.

“We hope that most internet users will play an active role in supervising society…and enthusiastically report harmful information.”

As Didi Rankovic notes, “It’s also unsurprising because it comes ahead of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CPP), when messages and narratives will have to be kept particularly “clean.”

China already operates an onerous social credit score system that bans people from using transportation and engaging in other basic functions of society if they commit minor infractions like jaywalking or buying too much junk food.

Given that social media mobs in the west, routinely aided by journalists, already conduct witch hunts that lead to people being socially ostracized, deplatformed and left unemployed for expressing “mistaken opinions,” are we really that better off than Chinese dissidents?

Kayleigh McEnany Reveals She Warned Reporters Not To Believe Russia Bounties Story

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has spoken out to say that she warned reporters not to be so quick to buy into a New York Times story about Russia putting bounties on American troops last summer.

McEnany Speaks Out

“I was asked dozens and dozens of questions about the Russia bounties,” McEnany told Fox News.

“I cautioned reporters on the first day the story came out and I said, ‘Do not be so quick to buy this New York Times story. This information is unverified. There are dissenting opinions in the intelligence community. Do not run with this narrative. It’s just simply not true and not the case,’” she added. ”

The New York Times released a report last summer claiming that American intelligence officials had found that Russia’s military intelligence secretly offered Taliban-linked militants bounties to kill the U.S. troops that were still in Afghanistan, according to Newsweek.

Biden finally ‘admits’ to border CRISIS

President Joe Biden has finally referred to the record influx of illegal immigrants at the US-Mexico border as a “crisis” and acknowledged that the situation has undermined his plans to admit more refugees from around the world.

“The problem was that the refugee part was working on the crisis that ended up on the border with young people. We couldn’t do two things at once,” Biden told reporters on Saturday after playing a round of golf in Wilmington, Delaware. “And now we’re going to increase the numbers.”

Biden was assailed by immigration activists on Friday, when he issued an emergency declaration tweaking his administration’s refugee program without fulfilling a pledge to raise the historically low cap on refugee admissions set by his predecessor, Donald Trump. He left the cap for the federal government’s current fiscal year, ending on September 30, at 15,000 – about one-fifth of the level of admissions allowed before Trump took office in 2017.

Biden had pledged to boost the cap to 62,500 in the current fiscal year and to 125,000 in fiscal 2022. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) called Biden’s failure to raise the number on Friday “utterly unacceptable” and contrary to the promises that caused people to vote for him. Former labor secretary Robert Reich called the move “a shameful broken promise.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki issued a statement later on Friday, following the backlash, saying that Biden would announce a higher refugee cap by May 15. Biden has been consulting with advisers on how many refugees the US can accommodate through the end of September, she said, and given the “decimated” program that he inherited from Trump and the current border “burdens” on the Office of Refugee Settlement, “his initial goal of 62,500 seems unlikely.”

Antifa ‘Panicking’ About Police Informant Inside Network: Andy Ngo

Members of the infamous Antifa cell in Portland are anxious after an informant in their midst gave information to police, leading to arson charges, Antifa expert Andy Ngo says.

“They’re panicking because this may possibly mean that somebody has infiltrated high … and there’s a lot at risk, because this is a criminal cartel,” Ngo said Saturday on NTD’s “The Nation Speaks.”

“And if there’s somebody in there and they don’t know who it is who’s informing on them, it could bring down the entire cell,” Ngo added. “I’m hopeful that that will happen, although I’m not sure if there’s the political will for the investigators to actually go through and fully investigate all the links and ties that this individual suspect has. But this is at least a little bit of good news in regards to months and months of really terrible things happening in Portland with no changes happening.”

Portland has seen repeated rioting since the spring of 2020. At least some of the violence has been linked to members of Antifa, a far-left, anarcho-communist network that has carried out violent acts in cities across the country.

Last week, prosecutors announced they were charging Alma Raven-Guido, a 19-year-old who has attended multiple riots, with arson, criminal mischief, and rioting—all felonies.

Raven-Guido is accused of pouring flammable liquid onto a fire that had been started at the building housing the Portland Police Association, a police union, during a riot on April 13. That liquid “resulted in the fire growing,” Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said.

A witness saw one of the bottles Raven-Guido use catch fire and start melting and also told police that they saw her place the three bottles into a backpack. In a court document, a police officer described the witness as “the informant.”

Portland police officers found an accelerant and lighters when they arrested Raven-Guido shortly after the fire was set. They also found her to be in possession of a crow bar, spray paint, and heavy marker.

Michael Savage Warns of Civil War — ‘You Should Be Very Frightened’

Discussing everything from culture and immigration to race and violence, foreign policy and the media, as well as the economy and privacy concerns, conservative radio legend Michael Savage on Friday warned of a civil war which awaits the U.S. if the left continues to launch assaults on all that Americans hold dear.

On his latest weekly podcast, Savage discussed a broad range of issues he sees as breeding grounds for an impending civil war.

“What we are seeing is a civil war,” Savage said, before questioning if it can be stopped.

Savage then described the “assault” as emanating from all sides and the wars “raging right here at home,” including the “war against the middle class, the suburbs, and white men.”

“We are under assault from both inside and out as our government moves to consolidate its domestic power, while at the same time weakening our defenses against the growing power of our global enemies like China,” he said.

“The media and this administration’s relentless assault on our borders, language, and culture has expanded to include an assault on every one of our fundamental values and institutions.  They are out to destroy a once righteous and heroic America and replace it with a leftist government defined by immorality and greed.”

“We’ve come to a situation that may threaten our existence as a nation,” he added. “Everybody knows something is wrong.”

In what he described as a “very dangerous and sensitive and frightening topic,” Savage claimed, “America is in a crisis.” 

“It could happen here. It could all collapse,” he said as he warned not to become complacent.

“You should be very frightened right now,” he added. “We need to galvanize every liberty-loving American. A line must be drawn.”

Government 

Referring to Biden as a “rogue president” and the country’s political machinery as “broken,” Savage claimed those who had hoped Trump’s loss would put an end to the country’s divisiveness were very wrong.

LeBron James, Lakers Will Not Visit Biden During DC Trip

LeBron James would not visit the White House when President Trump was in office, and he won’t visit Joe Biden there either, at least for now.

Citing NBA Covid restrictions and scheduling conflicts, the Lakers will not visit the White House when they play the Wizards in Washington later this month, USA Today reports.

After 2016, White House visits became a contentious political issue as the Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia Eagles, and other pro and college teams snubbed White House invites in protest of Trump.

Biden’s election was hailed by activist NBA stars such as Steph Curry and LeBron James.

After Biden gained the presidency, Steph Curry tweeted at James: “Yoooo @KingJames y’all can go to the White House and celebrate y’all title G!”

While champions from the major pro and collegiate sports leagues typically visit the White House to be honored for their achievements, no such visit has taken place since 2016, when LeBron James, then a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, made the trip to visit President Obama.

Democrat Efforts to Expand Supreme Court ‘Biggest Assault’ on the Rule of Law: Graham

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said this week that efforts to expand the Supreme Court will likely “destroy” the rule of law and politicize the judiciary.

“It will destroy the rule of law as we know. This is the biggest assault on the rule of law and the independent judiciary in my lifetime,” Graham told Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro.

“I think they want to turn the court upside down, to pack it with liberals because they don’t like the makeup of the court. And what will happen is that every time one party takes over from the other, [they] will change the number of justices.”

He warned that such efforts would transform the court into a “political football” and “destroy the Supreme Court as we know it.”

Graham’s comments were made in reaction to a new House Democrat proposal to expand the nation’s top court from nine to 13 seats. Lobbying efforts by liberal activists to “pack the court” have ramped up in recent months following their unsuccessful attempt last year to stop then-Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination.

“Republicans stole the Court’s majority, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation completing their crime spree,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), one of the key co-sponsors of the bill, said in a statement. “This legislation will restore the Court’s balance and public standing and begin to repair the damage done to our judiciary and democracy.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jarrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), another co-sponsor, sought to justify the proposal saying that 13 seats would match the 13 circuit courts.

“The logic behind having only nine justices is much weaker today, when there are 13 circuits, thousands of cases filed before the Court each year, and the full range of statutes and regulations that make our economy and our society work,” Nadler said.

The Democrats’ efforts were met with fierce opposition by conservatives and moderates who are worried that the move will undermine the integrity and people’s trust in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Several groups of Republican lawmakers have launched countermeasures in an effort to keep the number of seats on the bench to nine. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, announced his effort the same day the group of Democrats promoted their new bill. The GOP proposal requires an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the number of justices.

He said that the Democrat’s attempts to expand the court stems from their hunger for power and an attempt to concentrate it in Washington D.C.

GOP Confident Court Expansion Bill Will Hurt Democrat Party

Republican lawmakers said Democrat attempts to pack the Supreme Court will be so unpopular that it will ultimately help the GOP party in the 2022 midterm elections.

This week, Democrats introduced controversial legislation that would expand the Supreme Court from nine to 13 seats. In response, dozens of Republicans spoke out and took to social media to call the legislation an “assault” on judicial independence.

Friday, Florida Senator Rick Scott (R) said it will be “pretty easy” to get Democrats on the record on court packing. Then, when Democrats attempt to pass the legislation through reconciliation, Republicans will have an advantage when offering up amendments.

Scott said Democrats are only concerned with following their party leaders.
