Josh Shapiro, a possible vice president to Kamala Harris, is lauding and promoting the drag queen and transgender culture for Pennsylvania kids. I sometimes think Democrats promote debauchery as a distraction. Shapiro is all for destroying Pennsylvania’s oil, gas, and coal industries. He has overseen millions of dollars going to the transgender surgeries of children. […] The post Josh Shapiro for Drag Queens & Transgenderism for Kids appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Fart jokes are almost always funny, no matter who is telling them. Cruz, the African grey parrot, includes farting in his repertoire of sound effects. After making the well-known “fart sound,” this humorous little guy always says, “Wow.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cruz the African grey (@cruztheafricangrey) According to experts, birds lack the necessary gut bacteria and digest their food too quickly to form gas. Therefore, it is their “scientific” ruling that birds cannot fart or burp. However, in a video response to a follower’s question of, “wait so… birds fart?” Cruzy’s mom shows indisputable proof that birds do indeed fart. While perhaps not common, at least one farting parrot exists (or so we think). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cruz the African grey (@cruztheafricangrey) We are confident that the most audible farts from Cruz are sound effects. There is no denying the airflow around his tiny cloaca in the one shot of him on his back! But, alas, his mom comes clean later in this clip, saying that it is the bird’s humorous sound effects and nothing more. Cruz has a wide array of sound effects that include police sirens, burping, farting, coughing, and sneezing. They will surprise you if you have never been around an African grey parrot. If you watched both videos above, you heard a wide range of farting noises from the happy little parrot. Images from TikTok here and here. Cruz does not seem like an average pet bird. Typically, when a cage is covered, the bird assumes it is nighttime and sleeps. Cruz is not even pretending to sleep under his covered cage, which is quite entertaining. A quick trip through his Instagram feed shows his day-to-day life in London. He uses the toilet and shouts, “Woooo!” This Elmo-loving parrot is not an ordinary bird. If you laughed, please share.

Before Joe Biden’s stumbling and incoherent debate performance led panicked journalists to join Democrats in bullying the presumptive Democratic nominee out of the 2024 campaign, the media airwaves were full of praise for Biden’s “enormously consequential” and “extraordinarily successful” presidency. The “successes” that so impressed journalists, of course, were the *multiple* trillion-dollar-plus legislative packages passed by a friendly Democratic Congress during Biden’s first two years — “accomplishments” that have stoked the awful inflation that’s led most Americans to say the President’s economic policies have failed. “If you add up those seven pieces of legislation, it’s a $3.5 trillion agenda that Biden and the Democrats have passed since early last year,” political analyst Ryan Lizza gushed on CNN in 2022. “There’s really nothing like that in terms of that scale....He’s sort of in that modern pantheon now.” And in January, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner similarly cited some of Biden’s destructive left-wing policies as evidence of his greatness: “He has canceled student loan debt....He has done more on climate than any other American president....His record, given a one-seat majority in the Senate is bonkers.” When the media measure presidential greatness by the accumulation of massive new expenses and an ever-higher debt burden on citizens, they’re helping to skew the entire political system away from limited government and a thriving free market. And you can expect that if the even-more liberal Vice President Kamala Harris succeeds Biden in January, the media will be in the front row cheering her plans to even further expand the bloated government she’ll inherit from the current President. In many ways, the worst media scandal of the past four years wasn’t journalists turning a blind eye to Biden’s physical and mental decline. It was their failure to critically examine the consequences of the hugely expensive new programs the Biden administration rammed through, which will be on the government’s balance sheet long after the President retires. Here, from the NewsBusters’ archives, are the Top 20 media salutes to Joe Biden, starting with his Inauguration nearly four years ago: ■ “Those lights that are, that are just shooting out from the Lincoln Memorial along the reflecting pool….It’s like almost extensions of Joe Biden’s arms embracing America. It was a moment where the new President came to town and sort of convened the country in this moment of remembrance, outstretching his arms.”— CNN Political Director David Chalian on CNN’s Inauguration coverage, January 19, 2021. ■ Co-anchor George Stephanopoulos: “Most of us will remember where we were when we heard Joe Biden take the oath of office, give his inaugural address....Echoes of Abe Lincoln.”...Correspondent Byron Pitts: “Watching this moment, today’s inauguration felt more like a church service, right? And we see there, right after the sermon, the congregation doesn’t want to go home. People are hugging, shaking hands. I thought from Joe Biden today, certainly he was commander-in-chief, but he was also papa-in-chief. He gave a speech to comfort the nation.”— ABC News’s live coverage of Joe Biden's Inauguration, January 20, 2021. ■ “Joe Biden had to deliver the speech of his life, and he did. In my lifetime, I have never seen a more challenging inaugural address. Joe Biden’s message had to be about unity, and it had to be delivered at a time when unity was — it seemed impossible in this country….The unity Joe Biden was talking about was both poetic and realistic at the same time. What he did in about 21 minutes was absolutely astonishing under these incredibly challenging circumstances.”— MSNBC’s The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC’s live coverage of Joe Biden’s Inauguration, January 20, 2021. ■ Co-host John Berman: “You were at the White House after 9/11, and I’m not saying Presidents haven’t called for sacrifice before, David, but I don’t remember seeing a President lean over a podium like that and reach out and basically shake Americans by the lapels and say, ‘I need you, you know, help me.’ It was different.”CNN political analyst David Gregory: “I was struck by the same thing....He’s been in this town for decades, as we know, but he has not lost that common touch and that is really what defines him and the empathy.”— CNN New Day, March 12, 2021. ■ “I don’t think any Democratic president has had a more impactful first year legislatively since LBJ.”— Correspondent John Avlon on CNN Newsroom, August 11, 2021. ■ “I actually have lauded the President from the very beginning about Afghanistan. He was dealt a horrible situation. And as of today, he’s done an extremely good job in the situation….What he’s done over the course of the last week, should be congratulated on the way this was done….I think the President has done unbelievable yeoman’s work.”— Former ABC News chief political analyst Matthew Dowd on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront, August 24, 2021, talking about the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. ■ “Uncle Joe is back….If you didn’t believe in democracy before, if you never heard of democracy and you just looked at the body language of this guy, this guy believed every word he said....I am proud tonight we have a leader like him.”— CNN political contributor Van Jones on CNN live coverage of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, March 1, 2022. ■ “The last six years of Obama’s administration and Donald Trump’s time in the White House, Joe Biden has done more than them — not combined, [but] two, three, four, five, six, seven times. This has been an extraordinarily successful two years, legislatively. Any way you cut it, even Republicans have to admit this privately, and they are. It’s been a hell of a run.”— MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough, August 8, 2022. ■ “Pull out 20,000 feet, world stage, preventing a nuclear war, preventing World War III, check....It is all moving in Joe Biden’s direction. He’s got his aviators on, and he’s just getting it done.”  — Co-host Mika Brzezinksi on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, August 8, 2022. ■ “You know, if you add up those seven pieces of legislation, it’s a $3.5 trillion agenda that Biden and the Democrats have passed since early last year. There’s really nothing like that in terms of that scale....He is an enormously consequential president and just judging him by his legislative agenda, you know, he’s sort of in that modern pantheon now.”— Senior political analyst Ryan Lizza on CNN’s New Day, August 8, 2022.                  ■ “What we saw today….was the energy, upbeat, optimistic, but you also saw Joe Biden the politician at his best.”— Correspondent Jamie Gangel during CNN’s live coverage of the State of the Union, February 7, 2023. ■ “That was a wonderful speech. Didn’t you think he was sort of Mr. Smooth?...He was elegant, he was civilized, he was conciliatory, he was reasonable, and maybe most of all, he sounded like a centrist, which is exactly where he wants to be….Biden’s speech….was quite mild and almost lovable with a lot of proposals that a lot of people are going to like.”— MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss on MSNBC’s live coverage of the State of the Union address, February 8, 2023. ■ Co-host Joe Scarborough: “He is so sharp, and he’s on top of everything….If people want to focus on him falling on a sandbag or falling off of a bike, that’s fine. But while they’re talking about that, Joe Biden’s making, you know, Europe safe for democracy.”...Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson: “Anybody who spent any time with Joe Biden since he’s been in the Oval Office knows that the reality is [he is] nothing like the, the, the dystopian picture that the Republicans are trying to paint, of this senile, doddering president. And he’s as sharp as a tack.”— MSNBC’s Morning Joe, July 14, 2023. ■ “I can’t think of somebody else out I’d want. You name ’em. Somebody name a better — at this point — more mature mind that can attack these problems and address them with all the different levels of emotion that need to come to the moment. And, and he does it!”— Co-host Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, November 28, 2023. ■ “I think there is a lot of trepidation and concern about his age, but like, let’s be real. Biden has done a bang-up job with the economy, he has canceled student loan debt….He has done more on climate than any other American president….His record, given a one-seat majority in the Senate is bonkers….The fact that the dude is old should not erase what is a formidable record for his first three years in office.”— MSNBC 9pm host Alex Wagner on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, January 24, 2024. ■ “You talk to him [Joe Biden] for hours at a time. Is he slower? Does he move slower? Yeah, he moves slower. Is he stiffer? Yeah, he moves stiffer. Does he have trouble walking sometimes? Yeah, so did FDR. We get out of the Depression, we won a G.D. war….against Nazism…Start your tape right now, because I’m about to tell you the truth. And f-you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever. Not a close second. And I’ve known him for years. The Brzezinskis have known him for 50 years. If it weren’t the truth, I wouldn’t say it.”— Co-host Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, March 6, 2024. ■ “It was like a punch in the face to every Republican in the room….Everybody knows that this was a great speech and everybody knows that if this is the message going into the next eight months, the polls will soon reflect that….A really remarkable State of the Union.— MSNBC Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace during MSNBC’s live coverage of the State of the Union address, March 7, 2024. ■ “I have been saying for months and months and months that Joe Biden is old, yes, he’s slower of step, yes, but he is far from being incoherent, from having dementia, from not being in charge. Yesterday he showed he is engaged. He was impassioned. He was pissed off. Scranton Joe showed up and fought. He had his gloves on from moment one.”— Co-host Ana Navarro on ABC’s The View, March 8, 2024. ■ “You’re the kind of leader I love, because we’re lucky to have you in the Oval Office. And serving as the father of the country because if you’re a good father to your family — which you are — I know you’ll be a good father to the country.”— Host Howard Stern to President Joe Biden on Sirius/XM’s The Howard Stern Show, April 26, 2024. ■ “The choice is one terribly bad night versus a decade of destruction to our core beliefs....A man slowed down by a cold versus a man with a cold, vile, and merciless heart. I think in the days and weeks ahead as we move away from this debate, clarity will hopefully set in. For me, Joe Biden is still the man for this moment.”— Co-host Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, July 1, 2024.

The next couple of years are going to be very turbulent for those of us who are Christians operating in the civic realm. The paradigm is shifting on us, and the ground beneath our feet is shrinking. And I don’t know if you’ve looked around much, but there aren’t many churches that seem like they're eager to equip us for the times in which we live. I think we have demonstrated on our show that we are willing to confront some of the elements within the MAGA movement that seem to represent or be encouraging the godlessness rampant in our culture. But right now, I want to talk to the people who are generally more like us and probably cheered when we supported Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump. Because we are all in this together, folks — as in, we must hang together, or we will hang separately. You know, the Ben Franklin kind of together. The idea that Donald Trump hasn’t been held accountable for his mistakes is not true. God is better at holding people accountable than we are. You are welcome to articulate all the most intricate works on biblical and cultural exegesis that you can from the comfort of your prison cell. But it is one thing to be willing to go to prison on behalf of a cause. It is another matter entirely to say “I guess I'll just sit this one out and let them do it to me.” I don't know what honor there is in that. We must understand the moment we are in. I learned some hard lessons while working for Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign in 2016. After many years of trying since Ronald Reagan's time, we thought we had finally found the perfect Gary Cooper kind of sheriff, the man of dignity you want your sons to emulate and your daughters to marry. But we didn’t grasp the full cost of the failures of the Gary Cooper wannabes of the past. They kept promising to vanquish the banditos but, in the end, always chickened out or found excuses to do something else. So the people got sick of the entire Gary Cooper act and instead sought out the Pale Rider, the Man with No Name. Except his name was Donald Trump. No more endless death with dignity with Mr. Nice Guy. They wanted a warrior, and whatever collateral damage came along with it was worth the risk. That is who Trump was in 2016. And he was obviously effective enough at his job that very dark and powerful interests had to contrive fake Russian collusion and fake pandemics to force him out. The banditos came back even worse than before. But the people’s memory of what had been was unshakable. No alternative to the Pale Rider would be accepted, a lesson I again learned via Ron DeSantis. Trump was being punished on their behalf, and they would not desert him. Instead, they would bring him back. Trump’s accountability — and ours Biblically speaking, Trump is Samson — a problematic figure who was also greatly feared by the spirit of the age while living in a demonic Philistine culture that wanted to infiltrate and conquer God’s people. And maybe, just maybe, we’re about to find out Trump has a similar anointing following the assassination attempt. Let’s pray that’s true. But what we must not do is stubbornly cross our arms and act like the Pharisees who said nothing good comes from Nazareth. We must let hope in the door when and if it comes knocking. Now some of you are arguing that Trump hasn’t repented for COVID or other mistakes of character, so there isn’t really anything to put your hopes on until you see some accountability. But just as Samson was both used by and punished by God at the very same time, so it may be with Trump. He is still facing a prison sentence. He’s lost millions if not billions of dollars. He was one of the most beloved figures in the world, and now he’s a symbol of division wherever he goes. His entire family has had to suffer for that. And, oh, he was nearly murdered, perhaps with the assistance of his own government. The idea that Donald Trump hasn’t been held accountable for his mistakes is not true. God is better at holding people accountable than we are. Jesus’ parable of the wedding banquet is also relevant here in showing how American moral leadership is being held accountable. The king sends out invitations to a long-anticipated event, but the people for whom the occasion was meant decide they have other things to do. They’re distracted, they’ve moved on, and they’ve grown impatient. So the king tells his servants to fling open the doors and let anyone who wishes join the festivities. The churches and pastors who were supposed to form the American spiritual consciousness have forfeited their calling with distractions and equivocations. They’ve got khakis to pleat, sweater vests to unwrinkle, and skinny jeans to iron. Meanwhile, darkness is still out here and the name of God is still being cursed. So God has flung open the doors and says the battle needs to be fought regardless. Come one, come all. The fight is here and now There are aspects of Trump and his movement that I don’t understand and probably never will. But here’s the thing: Who has offended the spirit of the age more in the last year, your pastor or George Santos? A gay man offended them so much that they had to expunge him from Congress, but your pastor just shut down his church because Governor Nero the Woke told him to. Do you have a pastor worthy of being shot at? Maybe the problem in this country is that our pastors aren’t worthy of prison or being shot at. Ask yourselves: Why is this billionaire playboy named Trump out here catching bullets from demons instead? This is a war. And the war will happen with or without us. Because he’s a threat and they’re not. Even when they sit across the street from church, trans the kids, and soul-murder them with drag queen story hour, the shepherds can't be bothered. If the fact that the banditos are shooting the people they think represent us in broad daylight still doesn't indicate that the battle is here and raging, then I don't know what will wake you up until they shoot you. Wake up. This is the fight. If you miss this, all that godlessness and everything else we’re concerned about will have zero pushback. We can’t sit here with our furrowed brows and crossed arms, passing judgment on people, instead of acknowledging that perhaps they simply have more courage than us. This is a war. And the war will happen with or without us. Let us not take our light and hide it under a bushel. We have lost so much credibility with this culture and left so many people behind. The other folks over here, the people you laugh at like Cousin Eddie, are the ones on the front lines while we’re over here writing blogs. What the hell are we doing? We are needed in this fight. You are needed in this fight. We need your wisdom. We need your guidance. We need your principles, but they're of no use to anybody if they're hidden under a bushel. We need your accountability. We need your discipleship. Otherwise, this thing will go off the rails, French Revolution-style. This is not the time to run away. We have the high ground in a way we haven't had in a while. Take it and fight!

A massive, four-alarm fire ripped through the structure of the historic sanctuary at First Baptist Church Dallas last Friday.But those flames failed to destroy the sanctuary's historic pulpit.'A true miracle — especially if you saw the flames engulfing the place this pulpit was displayed.' As the church began to sift through the damage this week, it was discovered that the sanctuary's pulpit — which had been used by Baptist preachers including George Truett and W.A. Criswell — survived the fire."So indescribably grateful for this miracle," said O.S. Hawkins, the former senior pastor at FBC Dallas."In the midst of the total destruction of the church in the fire this 130 year old pulpit of Truett and Criswell and the others of us somehow someway miraculously survived. Thank you Lord," he praised.Pastor Robert Jeffress, the current senior pastor of the church, described the pulpit's survival as a "true miracle.""A true miracle — especially if you saw the flames engulfing the place this pulpit was displayed," he said. — (@) Not only was the pulpit discovered relatively unharmed, but church leaders received more good news this week.Initially, they thought the fire damage was so extensive that the structural integrity of the historic building, which has been in use since the 1890s, was compromised. If that were the case, the entire building would have been demolished.But executive pastor Ben Lovvorn said the church has received approval from the city to try to salvage the building."We received approval from the city to begin the work of preserving these historic walls," Lovvorn said. "I can make no guarantees about how that work will go or even if it'll be successful, but we do have approval to try. We're gonna do everything that we can to save these exterior walls of our historic sanctuary.""Church, that's an answer to prayer," Lovvorn added.The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and the investigation remains ongoing.Pastor Jeffress, meanwhile, revealed that former President Donald Trump reached out to him after the fire to offer support."I don't believe my support for President Trump has anything to do with this fire," Jeffress told KTVT-TV. "I did receive a nice note from the president, who has spoken here before at our church. He offered his help to do anything he could."Like Blaze News?
