Some Of Hollywood’s Biggest Names Are Turning Away From Depravity, Towards Jesus

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Hollywood stars often find themselves on the wrong path in life, but some of them have stepped out of the darkness by dedicating their lives to religion.

Entertainment headlines are quick to cover the downfalls and bad habits of the rich and famous. With so much scrutiny and the flash of paparazzi cameras at every turn, it’s hard for stars to keep their bad habits and undesirable moments in the personal realm. Very few of them have managed to turn their lives around by putting their focus on a higher power, and turning to religion to cleanse their sins and set them forth on a positive track.

One of the many big names that comes to mind is Mark Wahlberg. Wahlberg had a short stint alongside his brother Donnie Wahlberg in the hit pop boy band, New Kids on the Block. He then skyrocketed to fame with his independent movie career as part of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Wahlberg’s star continued to rise, but he had dropped out of school at the age of 13 and faced attempted murder and assault charges by the time he was just 16 years old. Wahlberg’s wrong turns led him straight to jail, where he served time and reflected on the errors of his ways. The youngest of nine, Wahlberg soon rediscovered his faith and immersed himself in his Catholic roots. He has since gone on to pursue a successful career as an actor and entrepreneur. Wahlberg has fully committed his life to God and starts each day with prayer. He spreads the word about the power of Christianity in interviews and on social media.

Russel Brand’s scandals and controversies include allegations of sexual assault by four women, complaints about his provocative, sexually-charged humor and his politically charged statements that were offensive to many. He was open about his numerous attempts at seeking professional help for his drug and sex addiction issues. His vocal, head-on approach to discussing the numerous allegations against him rubbed many the wrong way. Brand made a sudden, unexpected move in 2024 when he was baptized as a Christian in the River Thames. He turned his focus to God and threw himself into the Christian faith. Some of his podcasts and appearances are now centered around spiritual healing and the importance of faith.

Justin Bieber’s meteoric rise to fame proved to also be the source of his demise. Scooter Braun managed the 12-year-old talent, whose signature locks and catchy tunes had girls flocking to his concerts and buying his music and merchandise. It quickly became evident that the fame and media attention was far too much for Bieber to handle. He was involved in an accident involving a pedestrian in 2013, and people began to complain about his out-of-control parties. Videos of him saying racial slurs began making their rounds, and by 2015 he was found guilty of assault and careless driving, after being charged with driving under the influence in Miami the year before. The singer was reportedly involved in a Los Angeles accident involving a pedestrian, and struck a paparazzo with his truck in Beverly Hills in 2017 in an apparent accident. His antics soon led to people petitioning for his deportation from the country. Bieber publicly broke down and after a tumultuous struggle with depression and anxiety, he turned to God for help. Bieber has since embraced Christianity and dedicated his life to serving Jesus. Religion remains an important part of his daily life and is a common bond he shares with his wife, Hailey Bieber. He publicly credits his faith for helping him overcome his problems. (Read more from “Some Of Hollywood’s Biggest Names Are Turning Away From Depravity, Towards Jesus” HERE)

How Trump Can Restore Integrity and Lethality to America’s Declining Military

/3 Comments/in , /by

It’s safe to say that America has suffered greatly under the Biden-Harris administration. From a wide-open southern border to economic hardship, the laundry list of pains inflicted upon the public have been nothing short of horrific.

While no institution has been spared from these radical policies, there’s one in particular whose suffering Americans who care about the future security of the United States should take heed of: the military.

For the past four years, America’s armed forces have been undergoing a “reimagining.” Not content with simply allowing the military’s infrastructure to decline, the leftist ghouls running the White House have prioritized shoehorning neo-Marxist ideology into the service over the capabilities of America’s warfighters, prompting troops to abandon ship and dissuading new recruits from jumping on board.

Such destructive policies have left the United States’ defense apparatus in a vulnerable state. With foreign conflicts breaking out across the world and foreign adversaries becoming increasingly aggressive, it’s imperative the incoming Trump administration hit the ground running on restoring the military to the lethal and efficient fighting force it once was. . .

As any good general knows, a military is only as capable as the individuals who comprise it. Unfortunately for the Pentagon, convincing qualified men to join today’s service has become a nightmare.

Imam Warns Muslims Against Wishing ‘Happy Holidays’ to Christians

/3 Comments/in , /by

Christianity today is “paganism” and Christians are “pagans” and “not believers,” according to Florida Imam Abu Usama At-Thahabi, who urged Muslims to reject Western cultural influences and warned them against wishing others a “merry Christmas” or even “happy holidays.”

In his Friday, December 20, sermon at the Masjid As-Sunnah mosque and Islamic center serving the Orlando, Florida, area, the American-born Abu Usama delivered a scathing critique of Christianity, declaring it polluted with pagan practices, while urging Muslims to remain steadfast in their identity.

“The Christians today, the ones you know, those of us who are reverts [to Islam], our relatives — Christians — are pagans,” he argued.

“It’s not a nice word to be called a pagan. They think they’re believers, but they’re not believers — [they’re] pagans,” he added.

Proclaiming that “Christianity today is a pagan religion,” the Imam called out Christian traditions, which he argued bear “absolutely no connection” to Jesus. (Read more from “Imam Warns Muslims Against Wishing ‘Happy Holidays’ to Christians” HERE)

Shunning Friends And Family For Their Political Beliefs Is An Affront To The Spirit Of Christmas

/2 Comments/in , /by

Every year, various movie versions of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol air on our televisions, reminding us of the importance of putting others first and how Christmas is a time of reconciliation instead of division.

Unfortunately, in modern-day America, we have forgotten that message.

After Donald Trump’s recent election victory, leftist Yale fellow Amanda Calhoun commented on why family members who voted for Kamala Harris should refuse to celebrate the holidays with their friends and family members: “So, if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you … it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why.”

As I write in my recent book, Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream: “This is not new. In the last few political cycles, commentators on the Left openly called for children to confront, vilify, and humiliate any relatives, including parents, who may have voted for conservatives, at family get-togethers such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

Thus, these holidays, when Americans normally put their differences aside to appreciate each other, have turned into a battle royale of angry partisan warfare. (Read more from “Shunning Friends And Family For Their Political Beliefs Is An Affront To The Spirit Of Christmas” HERE)

Someone Please Tell the Washington Post the Real Meaning of Christmas Is Not Self-Care

/3 Comments/in , /by

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s comeback victory, some leftists encouraged disappointed Harris supporters to boycott their Trump-supporting relatives’ dinner tables over the holidays. Now, The Washington Post has another cheery suggestion: just don’t spend the holidays with anyone.

Under the headline, “They love their family. They just want to spend Christmas alone,” staff writer Sydney Page featured three people between the ages of 25 and 40 who are ditching the holiday gathering in favor of a self-care day.

In Page’s words, they are “celebrating and luxuriating in their holiday aloneness.” . . .

Willfully treating the holiday as a spa day because you can’t be bothered to invest some effort into people who love you is the Christmas equivalent of the social plague J.D. Vance was talking about when he cracked a joke about “childless cat ladies.” It’s the “Christmas is all about making me happy” attitude we expect Santa-believing toddlers to have about Christmas, and why we have countless children’s stories written to disabuse them of this notion.

Christmas isn’t just about gathering with loved ones, of course. Christmas is a time to anticipate — and then celebrate — the arrival of the Savior of the world, who ransoms mankind from our own sin and, yes, selfishness. You don’t have to have a house full of people to appreciate that gift. But you do have to face your own moral failing and need for rescue by the Son of God. Reflecting on that need, and on the reality that almighty God became flesh and gave Himself up on a cross to rectify it, fills most people who aren’t total narcissists with gratitude, joy, and a desire to share that goodwill with others.

England Forced to Hire Health Aides to Care for Increasing Number Inbred Children; Parliament Refuses to Ban Incest

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The NHS has begun hiring midwives and nurses specializing in managing genetic conditions resulting from cousin marriages, with salaries reaching £50,000, as the controversy around such unions resurfaces in Parliament.

These roles, found in trusts across England, aim to address the higher rates of birth defects observed in children born to closely related parents.

The positions involve supporting families with education on genetic risks and advocating for increased genetic testing. MailOnline reported that numerous NHS employers were hiring for the role.

This development occurred when Richard Holden, a Conservative MP, introduced a Private Members’ Bill seeking to ban cousin marriages, citing the associated health risks. . . .

However, the Labour Party has refrained from supporting the ban, and some MPs, like Independent Iqbal Mohamed, defended the practice for fostering family bonds despite acknowledging its health implications.

RFK Jr. Senate Hearings May Further Erode Trust in the Corporate Media

/4 Comments/in , /by

Corporate media trust is at an all-time low, and the confirmation hearings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services could deal another blow as Kennedy is presented with an opportunity to speak openly without being filtered through a mainstream media lens.

President-elect Donald Trump tapped RFK Jr., the son of former United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, to lead the HHS after Kennedy bowed out of a moderately successful independent presidential bid to endorse Trump.

Kennedy’s nomination drew intense backlash from the medical establishment and corporate media. He has been labeled a conspiracy theorist by his critics and much of the opposition to him has centered on past statements, particularly about vaccines and the environment.

A group of 77 Nobel Laureates wrote a scathing Dec. 9 letter urging the Senate not to confirm Kennedy.

“We strongly urge you to vote against the confirmation of his appointment as Secretary of the DHHS,” the letter read, citing Kennedy’s past stances on vaccines, community water fluoridation, a lack of public health credentials and labeled him a “belligerent critic” of some of the agencies that would fall under his purview as HHS Secretary, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Officers Left ‘Visibly Shaken’ After Entering Home, Arresting Father For ‘One Of The Most Horrific Things’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A man beheaded his one-year-old son during a domestic violence incident early Friday in Sacramento, local police reported.

Andrey Demskiy, 28, was found with his son’s head in a bedroom in his Antelope residence after police broke through to arrest him, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO). It was “a gruesome discovery,” the SCSO said.

The SCSO’s North Patrol Deputies were at Demskiy’s residence in response to a family disturbance report that they received at about 4:15 a.m. The deputies found Demskiy’s wife and her mother outside the residence. Demsky’s wife alleged that Demskiy had assaulted her and her mother, who was injured. Emergency personnel took the injured woman to the hospital — her injuries were non-life-threatening, the SCSO said.

Demskiy had barricaded himself within the residence and would not surrender, according to the statement. The deputies learned that the accused was with his son whom he might have injured after throwing him. The deputies then broke into the residence out of concern for the child’s safety. They overpowered and arrested the uncooperative and combative Demskiy, and discovered his severed child’s head, the SCSO said.

Investigators determined that Demskiy had assaulted his wife and her mother and, after the two women left the house to wait for the police, decapitated his son with a knife, according to the SCSO.

U.S. Navy Cruiser Accidentally Shoots Down U.S. Fighter Jet in Red Sea

/7 Comments/in , , /by

In a rare and concerning incident over the Red Sea, the USS Gettysburg, a guided missile cruiser, accidentally shot down a U.S. fighter jet early on Sunday morning, marking what U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) described as “an apparent case of friendly fire.”

The incident involved an F-18 fighter jet, which was operating from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, part of a U.S. Navy strike group currently deployed in the region. According to CENTCOM, the two Navy pilots onboard the F-18 managed to eject safely before the jet was shot down. One of the pilots sustained minor injuries, but both were rescued and returned to safety. CENTCOM confirmed that the incident was not caused by hostile fire, and a full investigation is now underway to determine how the accident occurred.

The USS Gettysburg is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, which is currently stationed in the Red Sea as part of ongoing U.S. military operations in the Middle East. While CENTCOM provided few details on the exact circumstances of the accident, the timing and location suggest the incident may be linked to the tense security environment in the region.

The Truman Carrier Strike Group is engaged in multiple missions, including the protection of international shipping lanes in the Red Sea, as well as support for Israel amidst its ongoing conflict with Hamas. Additionally, U.S. forces are actively involved in countering missile and drone attacks from the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen.

CENTCOM has previously pointed to the complexity of the environment, where incoming missile and drone threats from the Houthis have given sailors only seconds to react. It’s possible that the fast-paced nature of these operations, combined with the proximity of friendly and hostile forces, contributed to the tragic mistake.

The U.S. military has been involved in a number of operations in the region, particularly in response to the growing threats from the Houthis. On the day before the accidental shootdown, U.S. warplanes conducted airstrikes on a missile facility in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, targeting a site reportedly used by the Houthis to launch attacks against U.S. and international interests in the region.

The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have increasingly escalated their efforts to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea and launch strikes against U.S. and Saudi targets. Following the shootdown of the F-18, the group’s spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for launching eight drones and 17 cruise missiles at U.S. military assets, including the jet. However, CENTCOM has unequivocally stated that the downing of the F-18 was due to friendly fire, not a Houthi attack.

While the investigation into the accident is still in its early stages, CENTCOM has emphasized that the shootdown was not the result of hostile action. The U.S. military’s response to the incident will likely include a thorough review of operational protocols and communication systems aboard the USS Gettysburg and within the broader strike group.

Gay Couple Who Showed Off Picture-Perfect Family Get 100 Years in Prison for Horrific Rape of Adopted Sons

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A gay Georgia couple convicted of sickening sexually abuse of their two adopted sons will spend the rest of the lives behind bars.

William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, were each sentenced last week to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole, the Walton County District Attorney’s office announced.

“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” said District Attorney Randy McGinley, according to WSB-TV.

“However, the depth of the Defendants’ depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is not greater than the resolve of those that fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. The resolve I have seen from these two young victims over the last two years is truly inspiring,” he added.

The boys — two brothers who are now 12 and 10 years-old — were adopted from a Christian special-needs agency by the Zulocks. (Read more from “Gay Couple Who Showed Off Picture-Perfect Family Get 100 Years in Prison for Horrific Rape of Adopted Sons” HERE)
