Hospital Uses Photo of Vaccine-Fired Nurse to Recruit for Her Replacement

/0 Comments/in , /by

Besides and in addition to any question of legality of the actions, there’s no doubt many Americans feel corporations are abusing their workers if they fire them for failing to comply with COVID-19 mandates.

But one health-care company, Asante, based in southern Oregon, is being trashed online for firing one such worker, and then using her own image in an advertisement seeking a replacement for her.

The report on Facebook comes from Tiana Therrien, who reveals, “I am losing my job due to the vaccine mandate.”

She then reproduces Asante’s ad seeking from the public referrals for “top-notch healthcare professionals.”

The image shows a young woman in a canoe on a lake, with the logo, “Help build our team and get a bonus!” and it’s signed “Asante.” (Read more from “Hospital Uses Photo of Vaccine-Fired Nurse to Recruit for Her Replacement” HERE)

WATCH: Tulsi Gabbard Sounds the Alarm on the Biden Administration

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) slammed the Biden administration during a Fox News interview over the weekend, saying that the administration had repeatedly lied to the American people about scandals that are unfolding under its watch.

Gabbard made the remarks during an interview with Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night that focused on the border crisis and other issues that the administration is facing, including the pandemic, the Afghanistan debacle, and schools.

“The faith and trust that the American people need to have in our leaders is dropping every day,” Gabbard said. “The Department of Homeland Security Secretary recently told Congress our borders are secure. This is what he said, this kind of bold-faced lie whether it has to do with domestic issues or foreign policy issues.”

“We’ve seen this with Afghanistan and the tragically botched withdrawal of our troops and Americans out of Afghanistan, when people are being lied to, the American people are being lied to, it is revealing of the arrogance, and the self-serving nature of leaders who are in power in this country,” she continued. “And the disrespect, the disrespect that they have for the American people, and it’s why people are losing faith and trust in those leaders. If we have leaders who respect the people, then the people will respect our leaders. If we have leaders who trust the American people, we will trust our leaders. And that’s the problem here is we don’t have leaders who have that trust and respect and who therefore put themselves ahead of the interests of the people.”

Biden’s Sending Your Tax Dollars to Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has agreed to take money from U.S. taxpayers and send it to Afghanistan, where the power in control, the terrorist Taliban organization, already was given $80 billion in American war machinery when the president abruptly ordered U.S. troops to abandon their posts there, a report says.

The AP reports the the Taliban says U.S. “has agreed to provide humanitarian aid” to Afghanistan, which the report described as “on the brink of an economic disaster.”

“The statement came at the end of the first direct talks between the former foes since the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops at the end of August,” the report said.

While the Taliban statement confirmed a commitment to send humanitarian aid, the U.S. government statement worded it differently, revealing that the American government and the terrorists “discussed the United States’ provision of robust humanitarian assistance, directly to the Afghan people.”

The U.S. statement also made it clear it was not in the plans for the U.S. to recognize the terrorists as a government even though they took over the country in August when U.S. troops withdrew and the government that had been set up under U.S. supervision collapsed.

Joe Biden Celebrates National Coming Out Day: We’re Committed to the ‘LGBTQ+ Community’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden on Monday released a statement celebrating “National Coming Out Day,” using it to wokely emphasize his administration’s commitment to the “LGBTQ+ community.”

“Today, we celebrate National Coming Out Day and the courage of LGBTQ+ people who live their lives with pride, create community with open arms and hearts, and showcase the strength of being your authentic self,” Biden said in a Monday statement, adding slightly to the more traditional LGBT acronym, making it “LGBTQ+.”

“Today and every day, I want every member of the LGBTQ+ community to know that you are loved and accepted just the way you are – regardless of whether or not you’ve come out,” he continued, explaining his administration is committed to “ensuring that LGBTQ+ people can live openly, proudly, and freely in every corner of our nation.”

Biden touted leading an administration with “LGBTQ+ officials” who are “serving openly at the highest levels of government” — a likely reference to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

However, Biden made it clear that he does not believe the “full promise of equality” has been reached yet, citing “anti-LGBTQ+ bills” which he believes are proliferating state legislatures.

Is Voting Democrat an Evil Act in God’s Eyes?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Is voting Democrat an evil act in God’s eyes? That question rose from a recent Sunday-school lesson on 1 Kings 21, where King Ahab wanted Naboth’s vineyard, but Naboth would not sell. Then without the king’s participation, Queen Jezebel arranged a plot to kill Naboth. Then she took possession of his vineyard and gave it to the king who willingly accepted it. Though the murder and the initial taking of the land were done by the queen, God held Ahab as responsible as Jezebel for both.

The question raised is a most serious question, especially for those who seek to follow Jesus. Before getting into that, consider what this narrative teaches about the nature of God and His views toward humanity, both as individuals and as civilizations.

The God of the Bible is a God of justice. God values people as individuals, not simply as a collective. Godly order includes individual property ownership and even a king has no right to someone else’s property. While a person’s property includes material property, it also clearly includes earnings, creations, designs and even our conscience that guides how we live. Taking a human life is not only an act against the person, but it is an act against God, the creator and redeemer of all human life.

Like so often with teaching on Biblical narratives that relate to government, this lesson missed important applications for citizens in a nation where citizens are part of the government.

Nations are set up by God and are under God; America is no exception. American governing authority is derived from the people, not from a king. As such, those we elect are agents we empower to carry out the governing tasks.

As seen with Ahab, God does not give a pass for government to commit evil acts. Neither does He to those who empower government bad-actors. Yet every election, politicians who advocate for policies that embrace what God calls evil are elected to public offices by the votes, or lack of voting, of millions of Americans who claim to be God-followers.

The cost of this neglect is incomprehensible as adult Americans have thrown aside self-governance and sought self-indulgence. Among other evils, over 60 million defenseless pre-born Americans have been legally murdered while future generations have been shackled with staggering debt. Seduced by promises that government will make life easier, tens-of-millions of Americans willingly vote thieves and murderers into public offices throughout our nation.

How can we be surprised when so often it feels like a choice between evils? The road to better options requires that we study our candidate options, including the political party that winning will empower. A party is simply a vehicle; who controls the vehicle and where they a driving it is of utmost importance.

While human-rule will never deliver utopia, and candidates that embrace evil ideas can be found in any political party, it is the ideas presented in and through party platforms, conventions, and top candidates that make clear the acts that our vote will empower.

Today’s Democratic Party completely rejects Biblical teaching on morality and human nature – that man’s fallen nature cannot handle great power. Rather, it embraces pagan ideas, including the state being supreme. As such they work to shift power (responsibility and control) away from the smaller governing spheres of individual, family, church, community, etc. to higher and higher governing levels, including unaccountable international bodies.

The Democratic Party platforms and actions present an agenda that includes:

Abortion with no limits.

Doctor-assisted suicide for those deemed as not worthy of normal legal protections.

Rejecting of God’s design of marriage and creation of male and female, thus exploiting and
indeed creating sexual and gender confusion.

Destructive life-altering hormone and surgical procedures in children of all ages.

Creating destabilizing unrest and divisions among Americans, with current efforts dividing by
wealth, skin color, gender and sexuality.

Disenfranchising legal voters through weakening voting laws

Greater state control of individual healthcare decisions.

Suppressing the Christian-informed conscience.

Producing godless citizens through public schools where children are essentially drafted into the front lines of their war against God.

So while there are politicians of every party that we must stand against, how can voting to empower such evil not put one in a place very much like Ahab? It would be a grave mistake to pretend that the God who called Ahab to account for the evil he empowered would overlook evil we empower with our votes and other support.

Ahab repented and God relented. Indeed, God is a God of mercy, but God’s mercy was a response to Ahab’s repentant heart. While Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery, he did say: “go and sin no more.” A pathway for a new beginning is both unique and core to Christianity. Only those who do not have faith in the work of Jesus to completely cover their past are trapped in their past.

While some may claim that this column advocates for a theocracy, a theocracy goes much further than using a religious book as a guide for morality and good governing practices. A theocracy dictates religious beliefs and practices. The fact is it is the Democratic Party that is all too eager to force and coerce its pagan beliefs and practices on the entire population.

WATCH: Trump Rips Biden, Says ‘We’re Going To Take America Back’ at Recent Rally

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump made a triumphant return to Iowa on Saturday for the first time since the 2020 presidential election and told a crowd of cheering supporters that “we’re going to take America back.”

Speaking to a gathering of thousands at the State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Trump, who hasn’t announced a bid for 2024, blasted President Biden and his trillion-dollars infrastructure and spending legislation currently stalled in Congress and said Democrats are leading the country to the “brink of ruin.”

“We’re going to take America back,” he said during the 90-minute speech.

The former president also touted his 2020 win over Biden in the Hawkeye State by a 53 percent to 45 percent margin.

​”As disastrous as the Biden administration has been, no one can blame the great state of Iowa, because boy we did really — we did really good here,” he said. “Iowa, what a place.”

This Alaskan Police Officer Would Rather Lose His Job of 27 Years Than Get COVID-19 Vaccine

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Filipino police officer in Bethel, Alaska is willing to risk his career of nearly three decades to avoid taking a required COVID-19 vaccination.

A city’s mandate: On Sept. 27, the local government of Bethel officially enforced its vaccine mandate policy for all local employees, following through on its announcement via email two weeks prior. . .

“Mark of the Beast”: Bethel Police Investigator Vincent Garay, who has chosen not to return to work after the city enforced the policy, was placed on leave and had to surrender his gun and badge, reported Inquirer. . .

According to Garay, the vaccine goes against his pro-life beliefs based on a chapter 13 verse in Revelations, the last book of the Bible’s New Testament, which talks about the “mark of the beast.” He believes aborted fetal tissue was used in the vaccine’s development. . .

The end of a long career: Garay, who has been in law enforcement for 27 years, is now staying in his home in Wasilla, a city with one of the highest rates of COVID-19 transmission in the state.

Homeless Heroin Addicts in Afghanistan Rounded up and Forced Into Rehab by the Taliban

/0 Comments/in , /by

After coming to power in Afghanistan, the Taliban vowed to crack down on widespread drug addiction in the country.

The militant group has been conducting raids in Kabul to find and detain homeless men, often living under bridges, addicted to locally produced heroin and methamphetamine.

The Associated Press captured astonishing photos of one raid from earlier this week, where nearly 150 heroin addicts were rounded up, beaten, and forced into a rehab treatment center.

Homeless heroin users were rounded up by Taliban fighters and taken to the Avicenna Medical Hospital for Drug Treatment on the outskirts of Kabul.

The hospital was once Camp Phoenix, a military base established by the US army in 2003, but is now a drug treatment center that can accommodate 1,000 people. (Read more from “Homeless Heroin Addicts in Afghanistan Rounded up and Forced Into Rehab by the Taliban” HERE)

Despite Enacting Child Vaccine Mandate, Newsom Admits His Daughter Isn’t Vaxxed

/1 Comment/in , /by

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is embroiled in another controversy accusing him of hypocrisy surrounding his own COVID-19 orders. The California governor admitted that his daughter is not yet vaccinated against COVID-19 despite enacting a sweeping mandate requiring students to get the coronavirus vaccine. . .

Newsom’s firstborn child with second wife Jennifer Siebel turned 12 on Sept. 18.

On Oct. 1, Newsom announced a vaccine mandate for children age 12 and over to attend in-person classes at public or private schools in California. The required vaccination won’t go into effect until the FDA fully approves the COVID-19 vaccine, and removes the EUA. The mandate, which is the first of its kind in the United States, likely would go into effect next year — as early as January. . .

Despite enacting an order requiring all children 12-years-old and up to get the COVID-19 vaccine, Newsom admitted that his 12-year-old daughter has yet to get the shot.

The Democratic governor told the Los Angeles Times last week that his 12-year-old daughter has not yet received the COVID-19 because she has “a series of other shots” to get first. (Read more from “Despite Enacting Child Vaccine Mandate, Newsom Admits His Daughter Isn’t Vaxxed” HERE)

‘Full House’ Star’s Vaccine Mandate Post Sparks Social Media Controversy

/1 Comment/in , /by

Candace Cameron Bure sparked a debate on social media over a post she made that seemingly expressed her skepticism over vaccines.

On Thursday, the “Full House” actress took to Instagram to share a series of images that began with the statement “I’m not anti-v” meaning anti-vaccination. Each picture contained a subhead explaining what the star was for, instead. It then seemed to prompt users to either select “Same.” or “Exactly!”

“This. This is not about what I am against. This is what I am FOR. Read and understand the distinction,” she wrote. “This mama is holding the line and standing up for freedom.”

The images noted that the star is “pro-medical freedom,” “pro-informed consent,” “pro-immune system,” “pro-early intervention” and “pro-sunlight, exercise, real food, & vitamins.” . . .

Yahoo Entertainment reports that Bure’s post sparked a tense debate on her Instagram about vaccine mandates, with many agreeing with her stance while others questioned if her desire to promote medical freedom extends to her thoughts on abortion. Her “Full House” co-star Bob Saget and Hallmark co-stars Lacey Chabert, Danica McKellar, Katharine McPhee and Alexa PenaVega chimed in with messages of support amid the criticism.
