Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: ‘Leadership Is About Making Tough Decisions’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis found himself listening to President Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell speech when grappling with how the state should respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During an exclusive town hall with Newsmax and the hosts of Newsmax TV’s “Spicer & Co.” Sean Spicer and Lyndsay Keith, DeSantis told residents of The Villages, a large retirement community, that Eisenhower’s warning of science and government becoming more intertwined made him quickly realize that leaders “can’t just simply let policy be captive to whatever some credentialed expert says.”
Audience members praised DeSantis for the way he navigated the state through the pandemic by protecting seniors, children in schools, religious liberties, and the economy.
Black mother compares critical race theory in schools to KKK tactics
A Black mother took aim at critical race theory during a local school board meeting, comparing the education to tactics used by Nazi Germany and the Ku Klux Klan.
“Critical race theory is not an honest dialogue, it is a tactic that was used by Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan on slavery very many years ago to dumb down my ancestors so we could not think for ourselves,” Shawntel Cooper said at the Loudoun County School Board meeting Tuesday. “Critical race theory is racist, it is abusive, it discriminates against one’s color. … You can not tell me what is or is not racist.”
The fiery rebuke came as parents at the district, one of the richest in the nation, have recently begun fighting back against plans to adopt a “culturally responsive” curriculum framework that called on the district to dismantle “white supremacy.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘aggressively’ confronts AOC and accuses her of supporting ‘terrorists’ prompting Nancy Pelosi to urge ethics panel investigation
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in what witnesses described as an aggressive encounter outside the House chamber on Wednesday afternoon during which she accused the Democrat of supporting terrorists.
It prompted a complaint by Ocasio-Cortez’s to authorities to ensure Congress remained ‘a safe, civil place for all members and staff.’
The episode erupted on Wednesday afternoon after Ocasio-Cortez had criticized the Biden administration’s stance on Israel.
As Ocasio-Cortez left the House chamber Greene shouted ‘Hey Alexandria’ twice to get her attention, according to Washington Post journalists who saw the confrontation.
It’s Time For Christians To Stand Up And Proclaim We Will Never Stop Worshipping
Let’s shake off the influence of those who would have us shrink back and stay silent. Let’s follow Pastor Pawlowski’s lead and be a bold church unafraid to serve God in a hostile culture.
Last weekend the world saw a fearless man of God, Pastor Artur Pawlowski, arrested for leading a church service. This faithful pastor, who escaped the iron fist of communist rule in Poland as a child, was handcuffed on the streets of Canada and thrown in jail for refusing to shutter his church.
Not too long ago, this shocking display of repression would be unheard of in the western world. But over the last year, government efforts to curtail our freedom to worship have become all too common, and it has uncovered an uncomfortable problem in our church.
We are facing an identity crisis. Do we fearlessly follow the God who redeemed us, or serve the woke whims of our current culture?
Israel faced a similar dilemma in the Old Testament. At a time years of drought and the pressure of culture had pressed them hard, Elijah stood on Mount Carmel and challenged the people: “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him” (1 Kings 18:21).
Simple. Direct. That’s the message for the church today.
We’ve been a nation locked down, divided, intimidated, pummeled, and marginalized with unrelenting narratives of fear, paranoia, and hopelessness. We’re enduring a global pandemic, historic violence, racial strife, civil unrest, and economic instability. Everywhere you turn, there is more bad news.
But this is not new to the church. Christ promised us that if we follow Him we will face persecution. He promised us “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).
In my state of California, the church has been deemed non-essential by politicians who have no fear of God. Godless politicians have commanded us to forsake the gathering of the saints. They have commanded us to not lift up our voices in worship. They have demanded that we give up our duties as believers to be the hands and feet of Christ, shrink back, forgo His Holy Communion, and hide in fear.
Too many did, and the world suffered. Suicide rates exploded across many cities in America. Alcoholism, drug use, and the abuse of prescription drugs are at levels we never thought possible in our society. Families have been separated, unable to see each other from quarantine regulations and the strain of the season has sent even strong marriages into a tailspin.
When Americans needed hope the most, and our only connection was in a distorted virtual world, Big Tech kicked into overdrive to label Bible verses “offensive content” on social media platforms. This happened to me on Twitter. In fact, many of our “Let Us Worship” live worship and prayer gatherings were censored and in some cases erased altogether from Facebook and Instagram.
The enemy has been wreaking havoc across the land to carry out his primary job description of “killing, stealing and destroying” (John 10:10), and he has succeeded in many ways. Yet I believe the enemy has overplayed his hand.
God promises a fresh start. He is in the business of redemption and new beginnings. Isaiah 60:1-3 promises us: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you.”
Brainwashing camps for Christians as persecution in China intensifies
‘After you’ve been in there a week, death starts to look better than staying there’
The Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Christians has taken a disturbing new turn. According to a recent Radio Free Asia report, Chinese Christians are being detained at secretive “brainwashing camps.”
A real look at the impact of those darned “plagues” and “pandemics” of the last 12 years
The only way to sell Americans on getting so many dirty vaccines, year in and year out, is through a massive fear mongering campaign, hosted by the CDC and mass media everywhere. The problem is that it works, mainly because the populace is so doped up on mercury poisoning from the multi-dose flu shots that they can’t even remember what happened from one fake pandemic to the next.
Over 150 million Americans are fully convinced that every virus the media promotes is like the black plague, and that the human immune system is so weak, from birth to death, that we must ALL get every vaccine for every fake pandemic, or we will all die young. So let’s take an inside look at the real impact of those darned plagues that have totally besieged America for the past dozen or more years, nearly wiping us all off the face of the Earth (not even close).
You see, the real Black Plague, also known as the Bubonic Plague or “Black Death,” killed off some 25 million people in the 1600s. It set the precedent for all the scare tactics and fear mongering used today for any virus the CDC chooses to propagate in the news. Yet, the Black Plague still rears its ugly head all around the world, including in the USA, so where’s all the hype for that? Well, antibiotics quell it, just like vitamin D and zinc beat back Covid, but nobody is allowed to speak of natural remedies in America, or you get “Trumped.”
