CNN Town Halls: No Questions On Anti-Christian Attack… Eight On Impeachment
by Shifra on April 23, 2019No questions on a horrific, massive attack against Christians in Sri Lanka. As Tammy notes: ‘Easter worshipers?’ How the language of the left avoids real discussion of terror. But at the CNN town halls yesterday, not even one question about the attack on, ya know, “Easter worshipers.” Via NewsBusters. Monday night was truly a marathon for CNN as they aired five back-to-back town halls with 2020 Democratic candidates. Yet, despite it being only one day after the massive coordinated terrorist attack in Sri Lanka by Islamic extremists that mainly targeted Christians with almost 300 dead and 500 injured, CNN offered zero questions about anti-Christian bigotry. Instead, CNN asked those candidates eight combined questions on impeaching President Trump….

Supreme Court Sides with Baker in Same-Sex Wedding Cake Case
by Tammy on June 4, 2018This is good news, but they punted in one way– while excoriating the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for their treatment of the baker, they did not ultimately answer the broader issue of religious liberty. So it’s good news in part. Keep in mind, this case is from 2012, so it took 6 years, and the baker lost at every other level of the justice system. That should worry us. Here are the details. Via Fox News. The Supreme Court ruled Monday in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, in one of the most closely watched cases of the term. In a 7-2 decision, the justices set aside a Colorado court...

Merry Christmas Everyone!
by Tammy on December 25, 2017Another amazing year has come and gone. Our first year with President Trump has proven as difficult as I expected, but has delivered some very important victories we can all be proud of. The swamp, of course, is fighting its demise, but as is the case with the bureaucratic and liberal, they will fail. With the collapse of the Democrat Party and the Clintons as any sort of power brokers, the protection of the liberal establishment has also come crashing down. The result? The real nature of Hollywood and ‘journalism’ is exposed, and it’s filled with abusers and predators. The fact that Harvey Weinstein, and so many others, no longer had any power brokers to protect them thus allowing the...

Chris Matthews Ties ‘Crazy’ Evangelicals’ ‘Ideas’ About Israel to Trump’s Decision on Jerusalem
by Shifra on December 6, 2017Matthews went on Morning Schmoe, er, Joe, to run his mouth about Jerusalem. Somehow, we are to believe that Christians, who cite the Bible in favor of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel, “don’t know what they are talking about.” But Matthews spinning his wheels and saying lots of words with little meaning is somehow the expert here? Got it. Via free Beacon. MSNBC political commentator Chris Matthews appeared on “Morning Joe” Wednesday and said Evangelical Christians don’t understand the politics of Israel because they have “mythical” beliefs about it. Matthews connected President Donald Trump’s expected decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital to Roy Moore’s Senate campaign in Alabama. He said support for Israel among Evangelicals comes from...

Swedish Christian Preschoolers Banned From Saying ‘Amen,’ Talking About Bible
by Shifra on June 27, 2017The children are, however, allowed to give thanks to the sun and rain at mealtime, instead of saying grace. Just wondering: Would the Municipality have any objection if the kids gave thanks to…Allah? Via Breitbart. Children at a Christian preschool in Sweden are no longer allowed to say grace at mealtimes, “Amen”, or talk about the Bible, after a ruling by the Umeå municipality…. The municipality said it felt that children at the Salvation Army-run kindergarten were not given enough of an opportunity to opt out of saying grace at mealtimes. “The Education Act can be interpreted in different ways,” said the preschool’s manager Britt Marie Mårtensson. She told STV she did not think grace at kindergarten would come under...

UK Christian School Removes Cross From Logo After Complaints It Was ‘Offensive’
by Shifra on June 30, 2016A tree? I’m surprised they didn’t replace the cross with the star and crescent of Islam. Via Daily Mail. Parents at a Church of England school have been left furious after council bosses removed the Christian cross from the school’s logo. Oak C of E Primary School opened last month in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire after three pre-existing school merged into one huge institution. When the school was launched, it boasted a logo with an oak tree whose branches took the shape of the cross, in a nod to its Christian connections. But just a few weeks later, the cross was replaced with three branches, and the original logo used on large banners and school uniform prototypes had been scrapped…. Headmaster...

Moonbat Harvard Prof To Liberals: Treat Evangelical Christians Like Nazis
by Shifra on May 10, 2016Looks like Professor Tushnet needs a good kick… in his tush. Via Breitbart. A Harvard Law professor is telling his fellow liberals that the culture wars are over and the victorious Left should treat conservative Christians the way the allies treated Germany and Japan after World War II, offering no quarter or clemency. In an online post, the 70-year-old professor Mark Tushnet… a surviving member of the old guard of 1960s liberal elites, advises his like-minded minions to unabashedly take up “aggressively liberal positions,” because they will no longer meet resistance, especially after the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Since “they lost, we won,” Tushnet confidently announces, it is time to press the liberal advantage and abandon any...

Pope Francis Reneges on Offer to Take in Christian Refugees
by Tammy on April 23, 2016Awful. But the entire premise of taking in 12 people when millions are displaced because of Islamist mass murder and war is itself absurd and, well, theatre. Help for Christians, in the midst of an actually declared genocide, there are gestures but no real help and even abandonment by
politicians of all stripes. -
State Dept Can’t Confirm That Terrorists Targeting Christians, Were Targeting Christians
by Shifra on March 29, 2016Has Obama said anything yet about the Islamist genocide of Christians? Just checking… Via CNS News: ….Ahsanullah Ahsan, a spokesman for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, the breakaway Taliban faction claiming responsibility for the attacks, told the Associated Press on Sunday that the suicide bomber “deliberately targeted the Christian community celebrating Easter.” He also said the attack was meant to protest Pakistan’s military operation in the tribal regions. At the State Department…, referencing the condemnatory statement made by the Department but which contained no reference of the targeting of Christians, AP reporter Matt Lee asked, “There’s been some commentary about why you guys didn’t mention either the Easter connection or the Christian connection in your condemnatory statements over the weekend and again today. Do...

WH Spokeshole Refuses To Call ISIS Slaughter Of Christians ‘Genocide’
by Shifra on March 1, 2016Could someone please send a dictionary to the WH? Genocide…the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. Via CNS News: White House spokesman Josh Earnest, asked on Monday if Islamic State terrorists are carrying out a campaign of genocide against Syria’s Christians, said the word genocide “involves a very specific legal determination that has, at this point, not been reached.” ….The reporter asked Earnest, “But you’re not prepared to use the word ‘genocide’ yet in this situation?” “The — my understanding is the use of that word involves a very specific legal determination that has, at this point, not been reached. But we’ve been quite candid and direct, exactly, about...

On The Destruction Of The Middle East’s Christians, And The World’s Silence
by Shifra on June 1, 2015When I was eight, maybe nine years old, I remember thumbing through an old family photo album. Looking at pictures of my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and baby pictures of my siblings and me, I suddenly spotted a picture I had never seen before. It was a picture of a young man and woman, and three small children. I ran to my mother. “Who are these people?” I asked. My mother looked at the picture, and then turned away. “It’s my cousin, Chaya Rivka, and her husband Yaakov (Jacob) Shlomo, and their three children.” I asked my mother where they lived now, and wondered why I had never met them. My mother was quiet for a moment. Finally, she told...
