Islamic militants massacre 14 Christians during church service, five young boys among the dead
Islamic militants have shot dead 14 Christians during a Sunday morning church service in Komondjari Province, south-east Burkina Faso. According to the Barnabas Fund, the December 1 attack left 14 members of the Ouba family dead, including five boys, 16-years and younger. The pastor of the church, Tchitchiéba Ouoba, was also killed. It was reported that the jihadist attackers slaughtered all but one male member of the congregation, while several women, and possibly young children, were said to have been left wounded. The Barnabas Fund said the leader of the church’s denomination, Tambougou Adjima, cried uncontrollably for ten minutes while…
School children forced to share gender-neutral toilets: ‘it’s about inclusivity’
A new $80-million vertical high school in Queensland is the first school in the state to be designed specifically without boys’ and girls’ separate toilets. When Fortitude Valley State Secondary College opens in 2020, young students will only have access to 50 lockable ‘floor to ceiling’ gender-neutral toilet cubicles with shared basin areas. The only exception will be two male and female toilets in changeroom facilities which won’t open until later in 2020. Queensland Teachers’ Union president Kevin Bates said the new design was about “inclusion and accessibility,” arguing that gender-neutral toilets aren’t that “unusual” because “every toilet in our…
LGBTQ support organisation for TEENS issues ‘casting call’ for LGBTQIA+ people who are ‘comfortable being photographed in their underwear’
An Australian LGBTQ youth support organisation has issued a “casting call” for “out and proud queer people” who are comfortable being photographed in their underwear. A post on the Minus18 Youth’s social media profiles said: “Casting Call: for out an proud queer people… We’re looking for a diverse range of INDIVIDUALS and COUPLES in the LGBTQIA+ community to be part of a truly inclusive national underwear campaign.” Pals! If you've loved the recent @BondsAus ads as much as we have, you might be interested to know they're casting individuals, couples and families for their new campaign! Deets in pic, go…
Children’s hospital says, surgically removing the breasts of young girls may be “appropriate care” for trans teens
The largest youth gender clinic in Australia wants to perform mastectomies on gender-confused girls under 17-years of age. According to The Australian, clinic director, Dr Michelle Telfer from the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne told the state’s mental health royal commission in July that mastectomies improved the mental health of trans boys and are “an integral part of the transition process.” The Telfer clinic, which treats children and adolescents up to 17-years, does not currently offer surgery, however, according to Dr Telfer “many” girls who identify as boys are asking for “chest reconstructive surgery.” Dr Telfer has called for surgery to…
How to sell authoritarian tyranny in a nation like Germany
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has given an unusually emotional speech about people having the freedom to articulate ideas she doesn’t like. The German leader warned, “We have freedom of expression in our country. For all those who claim they can no longer express their opinion, I say this to them. If you express a pronounced opinion you must live with the fact that you will be contradicted. Expressing an opinion does not come at zero cost. But freedom of expression has its limits. Those limits begin where hatred is spread. They begin where the dignity of other people is violated.…
Scottish pastor suspended for tweets after publicly questioning Jeremy Corbyn
Scottish Pastor, Richard Cameron, was suspended by church officials this week, until further notice, after “heckling” openly socialist, U.K. Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn, who has the potential of becoming the U.K’s next Prime Minister in the December election, was day two into his campaign trail in Glasgow, when according to The Scottish Sun, Cameron, a 60-year-old Church of Scotland minister, approached the Labour leader. Referring to Corbyn’s tartan scarf and his criticism of the United States actions against the late ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Cameron stated: I thought you’d be wearing an Islamic jihad scarf. Do you think…
Green ‘solutions’ actually make the world worse
In the absence of Australian consumers having any actual influence on historical global climate variations, Greens MP for Melbourne Adam Bandt has decided to justify his incessant outrage and reframe our national guilt as “the third largest exporter of climate pollution in the world.” To confirm his outrage, he typed the last three words in all capitals – “IN THE WORLD”. There’s room to escalate though as he refrained from an exclamation mark or three. If climate pollution was an Olympic sport, Scott Morrison would be on the podium with a medal. PM can’t admit Aust is the 3rd largest…
Why Israel Folau is right about disasters and the judgment of God
Izzy Folau is in the news again for saying something offensive. This time it’s not because of something he posted on social media but what he said in church. If you haven’t done so already, take the time to listen to his twelve-minute sermon before reading any further… However, this time it was not only those in the unbelieving media who were quick to pour scorn n Folau, but many within the Christian Church were eager to distance themselves as well. Everyone from the Prime Minister Scott Morrison—who said that Folau’s comments were “appallingly insensitive”—to Brian Houston who wrote on…
Propaganda: Organization working with Hollywood to “change the narrative of Islam”
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) says it’s working with creatives and decision-makers in Hollywood to “change the narrative of Islam” through film and television. In a video posted to social media, MPAC director Sue Obeidi said the organisation’s Hollywood bureau is engaging with the film industry to increase positive portrayals of Islam and Muslims in an effort to change hearts and minds in the Western world. In a 2017 piece penned for Variety, Obeidi said, we’re beginning to see a shift in the entertainment industry, but the “normalization” of Islam needs to “speed up”. “It’s going to take a…
The surprising phenomenon of people who see the world completely differently
The story goes that a student of philosophy was asked in an exam to prove a chair which had been placed where everyone could see it at the front of the exam hall did not exist. Students were expected to discuss the 20th-century philosophers who posited ideas about subjective human existence and questioned our relationship with reality. But this two word complete response, if the urban legend is to be believed, received top marks for its reflection of the possibility the chair was an illusion of the examiner’s mind. If you’re a person who tends to vote right of centre…
Parents ‘don’t know what’s best for their kids’, says teacher after inviting adult male entertainer to speak with school children
A school teacher has said, parents should not have the final say when it comes to adult entertainers spending time with school children, as some parents don’t know what’s best for their kids. Anthony Lane, an English teacher at Willis High School, in Texas, defended the school’s decision to invite an adult male entertainer who performs at strip clubs to spend the day with young school children. Oh Miss Lynn Adonis, how we thoroughly enjoyed your company today! Laughs all day and memories we’ll never forget. So thankful for you! pic.twitter.com/Y7GjPziQsJ — Willis High School Cosmetology (@willishscosmo) October 18, 2019…
Rita Panahi, you can’t have it both ways – deliberately killing babies is always wrong
One of the best and brightest conservative commentators, Rita Panahi, said something unusually absurd on Twitter – and that’s saying something. Worse, leftist abortion-without-limits apologist Leah Torres called her on it, and she has a point. Here’s the conversation’s context. Past Pellowe Talk guest, Dr Ash Saleh challenged Dr Torres which scenario necessitated an abortion at 8 months gestation. Dr Torres claimed, “The medical scenario of ‘I’m 8 months pregnant and my life is in danger if I continue this pregnancy.’” She also complained that the doctor described ending a living human’s life as “killing” – evidence it’s hard to win the Dumb Tweet of…
Extremist environmentalists are the real “arsonists”
It’s widely acknowledged that the oldest known custodians of this sunburnt country routinely burned the bush in their care for it. This habit not only mitigates the immense, centuries-old risk of devastating bushfires resulting from tonnes of dry fuel on the ground, but it also stimulates ecologically necessary new growth in the regenerating bushland. However, extreme environmentalists, have gotten a stranglehold on forestry and vegetation management, especially in the Eastern states. Former Western Australia Senator Christopher Back was CEO of the Bush Fires Board of Western Australia and said, “Long-experienced forestry managers would regard 5 to 8 tonnes/hectare of flammable fuel as the…
SBS article claiming ‘fires not due to climate change’ mysteriously removed
Update: SBS restored the article, but added a notice at the top of the piece, stating: Speaking earlier this week, Mr Packham confirmed his position on what is causing the current severe bushfire conditions. Addressing the matter on Sky News, he said fuel loads remain the core issue. “The most important (factor) is the dryness of the fuel, which comes from the hot dry weather,” he said. “It’s not behind the lot of it, it’s behind all of it. The theory is as solid as the universal theory of gravitation.” SBS has attempted to contact Mr Packham on whether he…
Trans activist promotes “child-friendly” nude swim event where minors get free admission
The transgender activist who filed multiple Human Rights complaints against several female beauticians after they refused to wax his male genitals is now promoting a “child-friendly” nudist event where minors get free admission. The “family” event is hosted by an organisation known as “Skinnydipper Recreation Club” (SRC), whose website claims all SRC events are suitable for persons of all ages. Trans activist Jessica Yaniv, formerly known as Jonathan Yaniv, shared the “Skinnydipper Family Nude Swim” on Twitter yesterday, praising the City of Surrey for allowing the event to take place. Yaniv tweeted: “This is actually an interesting event.. at the Newton…
Actress FIRED from stage production after quoting the Bible on Facebook… five years ago
A 25-year-old lead actress in the UK has been fired from a stage production after being accused of posting “homophobic” remarks on Facebook five years ago. Seyi Omooba was sacked by a theatre company in Leicester after she was cast as the lead role in the stage version of The Color Purple. The sacking came after Hamilton actor Aaron Lee Lambert called out Ms Omooba on Twitter for “homophobic” comments she posted on Facebook back in September 2014. Lambert took offence to Ms Omooba being cast as Celie, a central character in the story because some like to view the character as being…
Five men cleared of rape because their unconscious 14-year-old victim did not resist
If you weren’t yet convinced that the world has gone completely and utterly mad, five men have been acquitted of gang-raping a 14-year-old girl because their unconscious victim did not resist the assault. A Barcelona court cleared the attackers on Thursday, saying the men did not use violence or intimidation and therefore the attack did not fit the legal definition of rape. The five men were then convicted of a lesser charge of sexual abuse. According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, the men, who were aged between 19 and 26 were accused of taking turns raping the young girl while…
Police officer questioned after using ‘OK’ hand signal to ask if somebody was OKAY
Victoria Police have issued a statement after a police officer was accused of throwing a salute to white supremacy at a climate protest in Melbourne earlier this week. A photograph of the officer making the ‘OK’ hand signal was shared on social media along with the accusation that the officer was using it in support of “white power” and Nazism. “Hey @VictoriaPolice @DanielAndrewsMP it’s one thing to assault and injure activists,” a user tweeted. “Not ok ever. But quite another for a cop to feel comfortable using a white power/nazi hand signal. Are you ok with overt nazis assaulting people…
The 50th G.M.A Dove Awards was a diverse city, just not musically diverse enough
The best and brightest of those registered with the American Gospel Music Association recently celebrated the 50th annual GMA, Dove Awards. The Gospel Music Association began in 1964, with the purpose of ‘serving as the face and voice of the Gospel/Christian music community, dedicating itself to exposing, promoting and celebrating the Gospel through the music of all styles.’ The first Dove Awards ceremony was held in 1969.

There are 5 divisions catering for 38 categories, all helping G.M.A ‘accomplish its mission…
WATCH: Socialist alliance member stunned when asked, “Where has your economic model ever worked?”
Socialism doesn’t work. It’s never worked. And neither has the vast majority of people supporting socialism today. They’d rather spend their time gluing themselves to sidewalks, blocking peak-hour traffic, or disrupting the lives of the honest workers who pay for their welfare handouts and useless university degrees. Today in Melbourne, while the rest of us were earning a living, 50 people were arrested and a number of police officers injured during violent protests at the International Mining and Resource Conference. Andrew Bolt of Sky News spoke with one of the Melbourne protesters, Jacob Andrewartha, a member of the Socialist Alliance.…
