Meet the Lesbian Radical Group Behind ‘The Future Is Female’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Feminism has fundamentally changed the roles of men and women in the culture, and Lisa Bevere, New York Times best-selling author and co-founder of Messenger International, isn’t afraid to talk about it.

“You are one of the few Christian, female teachers I know who will just be outspoken about gender ideology and the reality of male and female,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” says, adding, “which is sad.” . . .

“I started to do a deep dive into, ‘Wait, where’s the feminist? All these advocates for women being willing to say that men can be women, what is going on?’” She says, adding, “The deeper I went into it, the darker it became.”

That’s when Bevere started researching the origin of “the future is female.”

“It was from a lesbian separatist group in 1975 called Labyris,” Bevere explains. “Labyris is the two-headed axe carried by Amazon and the Greek and Roman goddesses, and they said the ‘future is female’ was a call to war, an invocation, and a spell to cast.” (Read more from “Meet the Lesbian Radical Group Behind ‘The Future Is Female’” HERE)

Eat This Food as a Late-Night Snack if You Have Trouble Sleeping — It’s Full of Melatonin and Magnesium

You’re having trouble sleeping — have you considered turning your insomnia into insom-nom-nom-nom-nia?

Sleep can be hard to come by in the winter because exposure to less sunlight can significantly disrupt internal clocks. There are several ways to restore restful sleep — try maintaining a consistent slumber schedule, basking in morning light and practicing relaxation.

Certain bedtime snacks can also help you catch z’s. Brain health researcher Marc Milstein, author of “The Age-Proof Brain: New Strategies to Improve Memory, Protect Immunity, and Fight Off Dementia,” said “a few simple tweaks” to your nighttime nosh routine can improve your trips to Sleepy Town.

One of his suggestions is a mash made in heaven — oatmeal.

“Oatmeal is something that is a complex carbohydrate — doesn’t cause blood sugar to shoot up or drop,” Milstein explained on Instagram.

Oatmeal boasts the hormone melatonin, which promotes sleep, fiber and protein, which significantly contribute to feelings of fullness, and magnesium, which relaxes the muscles.

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)

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.

Homeowner Arrested After Trying to Move Back Into Her House Inhabited by Squatter

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Georgia woman was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing after she tried to move into her own home — but was rebuffed by an alleged squatter.

“I spent the night on a mat on a concrete floor in deplorable conditions while this woman, this squatter, slept in my home,” said Loletha Hale, who was arrested outside her mother’s old home in Livingston on Dec. 9.

Hale had arrived at the house to clean the place out after a months-long battle with the alleged squatter, Sakemeyia Johnson, whom a court had ordered out in mid-November.

But when she arrived, Johnson – who had never been a tenant of Hale, and was merely related to an evicted tenant’s partner — was still inside, and had brought somebody along to intimidate Hale.

“I returned on Monday to start painting and she had broken the locks at my property,” Hale told WSB-TV. (Read more from “Homeowner Arrested After Trying to Move Back Into Her House Inhabited by Squatter” HERE)

Democrats Perform Tactical Retreat on Trangenderism

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pro-transgender officials in President Joe Biden’s administration are dropping a draft regulation that threatened expensive lawsuits against any school that preserved sports for girls.

The move will prevent President-elect Donald Trump’s deputies from rewriting the draft regulations to protect — rather than punish — single-sex K-12 sports.

The pro-transgender regulations from the Department of Education were also intended to force government schools to downplay heterosexuality — and to raise the status of transgenderism — by creating legal rights for K-12 teenagers who claim they are neither male nor female.

“Not upset it’s dead,” said Erin Reed, a writer who claims to be transgender. Biden’s “rule was a terrible rule that could have been weaponized against trans athletes by the Trump admin and there’s a reason 14/16 trans legislators signed a letter against it,” Reed wrote on BlueSky.com.

“The decision helped ensure that the open proposals could not be quickly rewritten and that the Trump administration would have to at least start the process of introducing its own regulations from scratch,” the New York Times wrote.

Stage 4 Breast Cancer Patient Given 2 Years to Live Survives With ‘Fourth Pillar’ of Treatments

/8 Comments/in , , /by

Less than three years ago, Tina Willits, now 53, thought she had just two years to live.

Today, she is cancer-free and wants the world to know about the treatment that saved her.

The Florida mother and grandmother first felt a lump in late 2021, just months after a normal mammogram. . .

“The doctor told me, ‘We will try to stop the progression,’ but she said ‘the best we can probably offer you is about 24 months.’” . . .

After doing some of her own research, Willits learned about an alternative treatment called immunotherapy, which uses the body’s immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells.

For decades, the go-to treatments for cancer have been chemotherapy, radiation and surgery — but some experts are calling immunotherapy the “fourth pillar” of cancer treatments. (Read more from “Stage 4 Breast Cancer Patient Given 2 Years to Live Survives With ‘Fourth Pillar’ of Treatments” HERE)

Trump Says He Will Eliminate Daylight Saving Time

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump issued a brief statement saying that Republicans would work to end Daylight Saving Time.

DST was proposed by Ben Franklin in 1784 as a way to increase productivity by allowing people more time to sleep when it is dark. The policy was adopted in 1918 in the U.S., but many states refuse to participate, including Arizona, Hawaii, and the territory of Puerto Rico.

Trump offered an explanation why he believes ending DST is in Americans’ interests.

“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote on social media. (Read more from “Trump Says He Will Eliminate Daylight Saving Time” HERE)

3 Men Accuse Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of Drugging and Raping Them at NYC Hotels

/3 Comments/in , /by

Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged and then raped three men at two Manhattan hotels and at his Hamptons estate as recently as 2022, according to a trio of new lawsuits filed in New York on Thursday.

One of the men recalled that during his drugged haze, once Combs was finished raping him, he handed him off to others from Bad Boy Records so they could take turns sexually assaulting him, according to his lawsuit.

The three lawsuits cite assaults in 2019 and 2020 — though the suit alleges they covered allegations through 2022.

Each lawsuit alleges that Combs served the anonymous victims alcoholic drinks spiked with drugs that made the men feel “ill” and lose consciousness, only to awake as Combs was raping them, court documents state.

Lawyer for the three victims, Thomas P. Giuffra, of Rheingold, Giuffra, Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman, LLP, said in an afternoon press conference outside of Manhattan Supreme Court that the trio of lawsuits have much in common.”All of these cases involve the rape of men,” Guiffra said. “They all involve drugging of these victims, raping by Sean Combs and others, following the rapes threats to the safety of each one of these victims. We’re here to obtain some justice for these people for events that have been traumatizing them ever since.” (Read more from “3 Men Accuse Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of Drugging and Raping Them at NYC Hotels” HERE)

Survey: Homeschool And Christian School Graduates Far More Likely To Keep Their Faith

/1 Comment/in , /by

Americans who spent at least three high school years homeschooling or attending a Protestant Christian school are much more likely than public school graduates to express Christian beliefs and attend church as adults, finds a recently released survey. Those surveyed who spent at least three years in a Roman Catholic high school are about as likely to attend church and read the Bible as Americans who attended public schools.

“Consistent with previous administrations of [this survey], faith formation is the domain in which the strongest evidence for sector-level effects can be observed, with a clear benefit to respondents who graduated from Protestant schools or were homeschooled,” says the Cardus Education Survey report released Dec. 4. “These graduates are much more likely to report believing in God and life after death, as well as engaging in religious practices.”

Christians are far bigger charitable givers, community volunteers, and supporters of constitutional rights than their secular counterparts. Christians are also more likely to have children at population-sustaining rates. All this makes their prevalence in American society a key national interest.

The U.S. birthrate is at its lowest ever, 1.6 children per woman. This creates demand for foreign migration and hammers the national budget — especially defense spending — by accelerating the already occurring bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare.

No other nation dropping off a population cliff has been able to reverse it by subsidizing parenthood, finds a November Heritage Foundation report. “The decline in fertility rates in the United States is driven largely by a decline in religiosity,” it shows. America’s decline in religiosity, in turn, is virtually entirely driven by government subsidies for secular education, the Heritage report says, as it erodes children’s faith and therefore their contributions to national economic security via forming stable families.
