Actor Compares Donald Trump to the Killers of Jesus Christ in Easter Message

/0 Comments/in , , /by

For his Easter Day message to fans, extreme leftist actor John Cusack insisted that the historical figures who killed Jesus were the “Trumps of the day.”

Cusack jumped to his X account on Sunday to write: “Happy Easter – Christ was tortured and executed as a Political calculation by the Trumps of the Day… Happy Easter.”

Of course, Cusack’s simple-minded framing of the death of Jesus Christ is not entirely correct. Jesus was not crucified merely for “politics.” The Jewish leaders who conspired to eliminate Jesus were incensed that he had called himself the Son of God and, therefore, a divine figure. They felt he was engaging in blasphemy. And the Romans prosecuted him for claiming to be “King of the Jews.” That was a crime in their eyes because only Caesar could be king. The question of Christ’s divinity was not as incidental as Cusack wants to make it seem.

Certainly, Jesus also threatened the political power of the Jewish leaders. But the Romans were somewhat indifferent and did not feel he was all that much of a political threat to them. So, obviously there was a political aspect to the whole thing, but to say it was all just a “political calculation” is an oversimplification. There was also deep religious context to it all.

Fauci’s First Year Of Retirement Was A Money Making Bonanza, Docs Show

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci earned $3.5 million in his first year of retirement from government and may have misled Congress about the date of his departure, documents reveal.

Fauci received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.

The documents do not describe the source of the deposits.

Fauci leveraged his celebrity status as the top trusted messenger on COVID-19 to pad his earnings in 2023, just as newly empowered Congressional investigators sharpened their focus on the ways Fauci betrayed the public’s trust at the pandemic’s height.

Fauci sold his memoir to a subsidiary of Penguin Random House for a reported $5 million in March 2023. That news coincided with a March 2023 congressional memo showing Fauci had privately “prompted” an influential paper dismissing the theory that COVID could have resulted from a lab accident. On July 1, 2023, Fauci began an appointment at Georgetown University as distinguished university professor in both the School of Medicine and School of Public Policy. Roughly two weeks later, two of the coauthors of that paper testified to Congress about the extent of their collaboration with Fauci.

The Gospels Say Jesus Crucified in Jerusalem: Why Does Revelation Say Sodom and Egypt?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s no secret to millions of Christians that Jesus was put to death in Jerusalem, according to the New Testament gospels.

But many often wonder about a cryptic statement at the end of the Bible indicating He was crucified in “Sodom and Egypt,” two other locations, neither of which is Jerusalem.

How can this be? Is the Bible somehow being inconsistent with itself? . . .

“There is a very simple answer to this which reveals Scripture is completely true and consistent,” says Joe Kovacs, author of the inspiring book, “Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything.”

“We all need to realize the Word of God is not always broadcasting on the physical, human level. It’s often airing its message on a higher level, often called the parable or spiritual level. It’s the method in which Jesus exclusively spoke.”

Scripture notes: “Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.” (Matthew 13:34 NIV)

“So in addition to the physical meaning, there’s that higher parable meaning as well. I call it ‘God speed,’ as we’re all getting up to speed on the way God thinks, operates and broadcasts His glorious message,” Kovacs explains.

Fauci Refuses To Take Media Questions At Protested Florida Speaking Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

Floridians gathered to protest Anthony Fauci’s two lectures at the acclaimed Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota Monday, in a two-part rally across southwest sections of the state. The event demonstrates increasing public skepticism about Covid lockdowns and Fauci, lockdowns’ foremost champion.

Fauci refused to make himself available to media at the Florida event, another reversal for the famous TV and publicity hound. While Fauci retired in 2022, his wife was recently laid off by the Trump administration’s cuts to Fauci’s former agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Five years on from unprecedented lockdowns, the evidence of their damage continues to grow. A new book documenting those harms for school children comes out on April 22.

The Florida event is the latest in a string of lectures Fauci is giving this spring to rehab his image and promote his book. Demonstrators held anti-Covid-vaccine posters just outside the building where the former NIAID director spoke before a sold-out crowd. One man in a Fauci mask wielded new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.”

In a parallel event dubbed “FreedomFest,” physicians, health freedom advocates, and community leaders spoke at Five Points Park, calling out the devastating directives that cost livelihoods, freedoms, and lives during the Covid outbreak under Fauci’s misguided leadership.

Nearly 400 Colleges and Universities Refuse to Close DEI Offices

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recent report from an education watchdog has found that colleges and universities across the nation are still operating diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and programs, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding an end to DEI initiatives among any organizations that receive federal funding.

Defending Education, the higher education arm of Parents Defending Education, published a report this week detailing how nearly 400 colleges and universities in the U.S. still operate DEI offices and programs. Only 16 colleges and universities have shuttered their DEI initiatives.

According to the report, 242 universities still operate DEI offices or programs, as do 162 schools or colleges. Defending Education also found that 26 universities or colleges have simply “rebranded” or “renamed” their DEI offices and programs, in an apparent effort to avoid detection. Examples of new names used to hide DEI initiatives include “Access,” “Advocacy,” “Belonging,” “Community,” “Compliance,” “Inclusive Excellence,” “Institutional Excellence,” “Resilience,” and “Success.”

The report is “not exhaustive,” but it surveyed colleges and universities in 46 states and the District of Columbia. California had the most schools with DEI programs at 27, followed by New York at 24, Illinois at 17, and Massachusetts at 15. Many universities run multiple DEI initiatives, including offices or programs within specialist or graduate schools. The majority of these projects identified by Defending Education are located within medical schools, nursing schools, and engineering schools.

In comments to The Washington Stand, Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Education Studies Meg Kilgannon said, “It would be naive to think that reforming educational institutions could be accomplished by the stroke of a pen.” She explained, “DEI is rooted in a belief system that is enforced, but more than that, it is accepted and believed. The hearts and minds of people running colleges and universities must change if we want true reform. It will take generations to transform higher education.” Kilgannon added, “Prayer, fasting, and the engagement of Christians in the process is necessary.” (Read more from “Nearly 400 Colleges and Universities Refuse to Close DEI Offices” HERE)

Woman Arrested for Sending Poisoned Easter Eggs to Ex’s Family in Alleged ‘Revenge’ Plot, Killing 1 Child

/0 Comments/in , /by

A jealous ex allegedly sent poisoned chocolate Easter eggs to the home of her love rival, killing a 7-year-old boy and leaving two people in critical condition in Brazil.

Jordélia Pereira Barbosa, 35, allegedly purchased the chocolate eggs in a disguise at a supermarket and spiked them herself before they were delivered to the home of her ex-boyfriend’s new partner, 32-year-old Mirian Lira, according to reports.

Barbosa left a note with the gift that read, “With love, to Mirian Lira. Happy Easter,” the Daily Mail reported.

Lira received the gift and shared the eggs with her children, 7-year-old Luis Silva and 13-year-old Evelyn Fernanda, last Wednesday.

Little Luis fell ill “immediately” after eating the chocolates and died at a nearby hospital the following day. Evelyn and Lira are still in critical condition at the same hospital, according to The Standard.

Defense SEC. Hegseth Shared War Plans in Second Signal Chat: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent details of the March attack on the Houthis in Yemen in a second group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer — the latest scandal out of the Pentagon in a chaotic few weeks, according to a report.

Hegseth reportedly shared the sensitive details about the strikes to his spouse before the US carried out the March 15 attack, the New York Times reported Sunday, citing four sources with knowledge of the chat.

The information he shared was nearly identical to what was sent in another chat that mistakenly included a lefty journalist, according to the sources.

Last month, Hegseth allegedly texted the same information regarding the attack in a Signal group chat that included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, among numerous Trump administration senior national security officials.

The revelation of a second sensitive group chat in just a few weeks after news of the first one broke adds to the apparent dysfunction inside the defense department, in which multiple top Hegseth advisors have been shown the door and a probe into alleged leaks is underway.

Vice President JD Vance, Pope Francis Brush Off ‘Public Tiff,’ ‘Rift’ Media Claims At Easter Sunday Vatican Meeting

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President JD Vance met with Pope Francis on Easter Sunday, a diplomatic high water mark amid his ongoing April 18-24 trip to Italy, Vatican City and India.

The meeting lasted “some minutes and they exchanged Easter greetings,” according to a Vatican statement. The visit occurred at 11:30 a.m. local time in the pope’s residence in the Casa Santa Marta as Easter Sunday Mass was celebrated nearby in Saint Peter’s Square. Since Pope Francis, 88, is convalescing from double pneumonia after a 38-day hospitalization, the role of celebrant of the liturgy commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ was delegated to Cardinal Angelo Comastri, the retired archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica.

The second family attended a separate, private Mass at the Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside-The-Walls, according to a Sunday press release from the Office of the Vice President.

“It’s good to see you in better health,” Vance told the Holy Father. The pope gifted him with a Vatican tie, blessed rosaries and three Easter eggs for his children. Before departing the brief encounter, Vance revealed to the bishop of Rome, “I pray for you every day.” (Read more from “Vice President JD Vance, Pope Francis Brush Off ‘Public Tiff,’ ‘Rift’ Media Claims At Easter Sunday Vatican Meeting” HERE)

‘He Is Risen!’: Trump Posts Easter Message of Devotion to the Nation

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump, who in his wheeling and dealing developer years in New York was never described as a religious man, posted a particularly reverent post to the nation for Easter Sunday.

Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Melania and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! Whether you are heading out to Church or, watching Service from home, may this day be full of Peace and Joy for all who celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. HE IS RISEN!!”

The phrase “He is risen” is a significant one for Christians as it is stated in the present tense, signifying Christ is a living presence in the world and their lives. It’s a distinction typically only known to those who are more deeply committed to the Christian faith.

While Trump evoked the Bible frequently in both of his presidential campaigns, and has said he was raised as a Presbyterian, one of his biographers wrote that his church attendance as a young man was geared toward secular success.

Trump and his parents attended the Marble Collegiate Church, a New York congregation pastored by iconic minister Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Trump was married in Peale’s church. His parents’ funerals were held there as well. (Read more from “‘He Is Risen!’: Trump Posts Easter Message of Devotion to the Nation” HERE)

White House Reveals COVID Lab Leak Theory as ‘True Origins’ of Pandemic in Flashy New Website That Blasts Biden, Fauci and Cuomo

/24 Comments/in , /by

The White House revamped its COVID-19 information website on Friday, unveiling a sleek new landing page dedicated to the “true origins” of the pandemic.

COVID.gov, which previously contained information about testing, treatment and vaccination against the coronavirus, now redirects to a website that reads, “Lab Leak: True Origins of COVID-19.”

The webpage slams both the Biden administration and former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the pandemic — and indicates that the Trump administration is fully onboard with the theory that COVID-19 leaked out of a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The new website lays out five reasons why COVID-19 likely originated from a Chinese lab:

“Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.”

“Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.”

“Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.”

“By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.”
