Rick Warren’s Political Interpretation of Crucifixion Draws Christians’ Ire: ‘Embarrassing’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Saddleback Church founder and former senior pastor Rick Warren drew scorn on social media for implying that Jesus Christ would be a political centrist today because He was crucified between two thieves.

“‘They crucified Jesus with two others — one on each side & Jesus in the middle,” Warren tweeted Tuesday, quoting John 19:18. “The guys on both sides were thieves. If you’re looking for the #realJesus, not a caricature disfigured by partisan motivations, you’ll find him in the middle, not on either side.”

Several prominent Christian voices on X took the bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life to task for what they deemed a questionable application of the biblical text.

“If you’re going to misuse the story this bad, you should also point out that the thief on the Right is the one that went to heaven lol,” tweeted Babylon Bee managing editor Joel Berry.

Justin Peters, who heads a worldwide expository preaching and teaching ministry, rebuked Warren for what he characterized as sloppy biblical interpretation.

NASA Orders Employees to Throw Out Rainbow Flags and Any Other Items Signaling LGBTQI Support

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .According to sources who spoke to former NASA researcher Keith Cowing, people working at the space agency — which previously celebrated its queer and trans employees — have been ordered to remove all symbols of LGBTQI pride from their physical and digital workspaces.

“Employees cannot have pride flags, lapel pins, badge lanyard[s], TEAMS backgrounds, clothing, laptop stickers… or anything related to pride in their offices,” Cowing wrote on his blog, NASA Watch.

“The penalty for violating this guidance can result in being put on administrative leave,” the ex-NASA-er wrote. “This applies to all employees — not just LBGTQ+ but also LBGTQ+ allies.”

Unlike the Trump administration’s other anti-woke orders — including the other recent one at NASA that requires all mentions of “women in leadership,” indigenous people, and environmental justice be removed from agency sites — this regressive decree was not made in writing.

Instead, as Cowing’s sources told him, the demand was made verbally from NASA’s advisory council, which informed management of the change and commanded they “inform/warn their staff” accordingly.

Comedian Tim Allen Reads Through Old Testament, Begins New Testament: ‘What a Treasure’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Award-winning actor Tim Allen has shared more about his Bible reading journey, revealing he recently read through and re-read the Old Testament and has started on the New Testament — an experience he described as a “treasure.”

“After nearly a year I have finished entire Old Testament and the experience of re reading, dedicated focus and no drifting has made this a humbling overwhelming experience. What a treasure,” the 71-year-old “Home Improvement” actor wrote in a Saturday post on X, previously known as Twitter. “Three days into New Testament.” . . .

In August, the television star shared that he had almost finished reading the Old Testament in the Jerusalem Bible, a Roman Catholic translation.

“Never took the time in all my years to ever read and really read the Bible,” Allen wrote. “Currently almost through the Jerusalem Bible Old Testament and almost done with the Prophets. Next up to New Testament. So far, amazing and not at all what I was expecting.”

Allen, who currently stars in the sitcom “Shifting Gears,” has spoken in interviews about his belief in God and his growing appreciation for Christianity despite maintaining skepticism about organized religion.

Far-Left Activists in Drag Rail Against Trump as City Votes to Become Trans Sanctuary

/7 Comments/in , /by

The Worcester City Council in Massachusetts voted in favor of a resolution to become a sanctuary city for those transgender and gender-diverse Tuesday.

During a lengthy city council meeting, approximately 200 people from the LGBT+ community arrived to show their support for the resolution—often expressing concerns for their safety under the new Trump administration.

One speaker, donning a purple wig, pearl necklace and white gloves, said she needs the city to protect her because the federal government will not, and she is “afraid of Trump.”

The speaker, who also claimed to have a multitude of disabilities, addressed fears that the city would become a target of the administration and lose federal funding if the measure was passed, then issued a warning.

“If you say that you’re afraid of Trump and that’s why you don’t want the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space,” she said.

Independent Reporter Brought the Receipts to Shred The New York Times’ Anti-Elon Nonsense

/8 Comments/in , /by

The liberal media is truly giving itself fits over Elon Musk and his new position within the Trump administration, which is to helm the Department of Government Efficiency, which is uprooting the waste and fraud that’s infested Washington DC. Liberals have slowly replaced Trump derangement syndrome with Musk madness since the 2024 election. Ironically, Musk was recently an Andrew Yang Democrat.

DOGE has shut down USAID and is combing through every crack and crevice looking for government waste, which it has done by using AI to analyze the expenditures of these agencies rapidly. The Left is mad because all their slush fund vehicles are being pinched off. At the Oval Office yesterday, Elon Musk, his son, and Donald Trump took questions from the media as the president signed an order enhancing compliance between government agencies and DOGE, and The New York Times had a predictable headline for the occasion: “Musk Asserts Without Proof That He’s Fixing a Bureaucracy Rife With Fraud.”

The billionaire Elon Musk said in an extraordinary Oval Office appearance on Tuesday that he was providing maximum transparency in his government cost-cutting initiative, but offered no evidence for his sweeping claims that the federal bureaucracy had been corrupted by cheats and officials who had approved money for “fraudsters.”

Answering questions from the media for the first time since his arrival in Washington to run the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Mr. Musk stood next to the Resolute Desk and asserted that his work was in the interest of the public and democracy. President Trump sat behind the desk, chiming in with approval as he let the world’s richest man expound for roughly 30 minutes on the rationale for the drastic overhaul of the federal bureaucracy.

The goal is to “restore democracy,” Mr. Musk said. “If the bureaucracy’s in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?”

Trump Talks With Ukraine President Zelenksyy Following Putin Call

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump spoke by phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Wednesday, the White House said, after talking earlier to Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending their long-running war.

In a Truth Social post, Mr. Trump said the conversation with Mr. Zelenskyy went “very well.”

“He, like President Putin, wants to make PEACE,” Mr. Trump wrote. “We discussed a variety of topics having to do with the War, but mostly, the meeting that is being set up on Friday in Munich, where Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the Delegation.”

He said he is “hopeful” that the Friday meeting will be “positive.”

“It is time to stop this ridiculous war, where there has been massive, and totally unnecessary, DEATH and DESTRUCTION,” he wrote. “God bless the people of Russia and Ukraine!” (Read more from “Trump Talks With Ukraine President Zelenksyy Following Putin Call” HERE)

Trump Promises In-Person Meeting With Putin as Ukraine Talks Get Underway

/1 Comment/in , /by

An American president hasn’t visited Russia in more than a decade. That could change soon, according to President Donald Trump, who said Wednesday that he and Russian President Vladimir had agreed to visit “each other’s Nations” as part of an effort to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump promoted the potential trips in a social media post detailing his phone call Wednesday with Putin. It was the first announced conversation between the two leaders since Trump started his second term in office.

“We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s Nations,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump added later in the day Wednesday that he would likely hold his first meeting with Putin since taking office for a second time in Saudi Arabia, though plans had not been settled.

A meeting anywhere in the world between the two leaders would garner headlines — but it would be especially unusual if one took place in the U.S. or Russia. Regardless of the location, analysts said suggestions of a face-to-face meeting are in line with Trump’s practice, in his first term in office, of holding high-profile summits with adversaries like North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

‘Unbelievably Baffling’: Joe Rogan Says The Quiet Part Out Loud About Corporate Media’s DOGE Coverage

/2 Comments/in , /by

Podcast host Joe Rogan criticized corporate media Wednesday for its negative reporting on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), pointing to outlets totally ignoring instances of waste uncovered at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Since Musk announced plans to shutter USAID on Feb. 3, CNN and MSNBC used the phrase “constitutional crisis” over 200 times, the Daily Caller News Foundation learned in a keyword search of footage archived by Grabien News. Rogan, on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” accused media outlets of choosing to attack President Donald Trump and Musk’s USAID plan and fixating on DOGE staffers accessing Americans’ data.

“What’s unbelievably baffling to me is the complete absence of the coverage of all of these things that should be very concerning in mainstream media,” Rogan said “Complete absence. All the discussion, the negative anti-Trump discussion about USAID shutting down, is all the good that it does.”

“And then also, you’re going to get access to people’s private data — that’s all you’re hearing,” he continued. “You’re hearing the gaslighting spin is those two things.”

USAID sent 65.5 million condoms, 9.8 million injectable birth control products and 334,000 IUDs to other countries in fiscal year 2022 to facilitate family planning, particularly in the third world. It also distributed a $2 million grant to Guatemala to fund “gender-affirming care” and LGBTQ activism.

Investigation Confirms Biden Was Behind FBI Raid at Trump’s Florida Home All Along

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A social media thread report from America First Legal charges it was Joe Biden who was behind the FBI’s raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, all along.

That raid, a stunning armed maneuver against the 45th president of the United States, left armed officers raiding Trump’s home, allegedly looking for government documents, even reportedly invading the private possessions of Trump’s family members.

The raiders then staged photographs of various government documents in rows on the floor of Mar-a-Lago and released those images to the public to generate support for their claims.

The White House claimed at the time that it was all because of the need to retrieve those government documents, which later resulted in a massive federal criminal case against Trump, which dissolved when he was re-elected.

Incidentally, Joe Biden also was found to have had massive amounts of government documents in his possession, including in a stash in his unsecured garage, after his vice presidency, as was Trump Vice President Mike Pence. Both of them were given free passes for their actions. (Read more from “Investigation Confirms Biden Was Behind FBI Raid at Trump’s Florida Home All Along” HERE)

Nurses Suspended After Boasting They Would Kill Israeli Patients

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two Australian nurses have been suspended after a viral video showed them threatening to kill Israeli patients and boasting about refusing them treatment. The pair face criminal and health prosecutions over their “sickening and shameful” boasts of weaponizing the healthcare system against Jews.

The man and woman – both employees at a Sydney hospital – are now being investigated by NSW state police after their anti-semitic tirade went viral, news.com.au reports. . .

In the video, the male nurse, later identified as Ahmad “Rashad” Nadi, an Afghan refugee taken in and given shelter by Australia, falsely claimed he was a doctor and told the Israeli interviewer he was “going to go to” hell.

“It’s Palestine’s country, not your country,” a female nurse identified as Sarah Abu Lebdeh added before detailing how she’d approach Israeli patients.

“I won’t treat them, I’ll kill them.” (Read more from “Nurses Suspended After Boasting They Would Kill Israeli Patients” HERE)
