Shopper’s Lite? Beauty campaign featuring feminized Christ-like portrait draws backlash
Is it for real?
A supposed ad campaign for Shopper’s Drug Mart’s annual ‘beauty event’ was going viral on social media networks for featuring what appears to be a feminized version of Jesus Christ, replete with beard, false eyelashes and lip stick.
Megyn Kelly has exploded over acclaimed 2024 movie Conclave, blasting it as ‘disgusting’ and ‘anti-Catholic’ in a furious online rant.
The mystery thriller starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini follows powerful religious leaders in the halls of the Vatican as a Cardinal uncovers scandalous secrets while selecting the next pope.
Kelly, 54, took to X to blast the movie, which is nominated across six Golden Globe Award categories – and her post included a major spoiler about the plot.
We don’t hate Hollywood enough.
The al-Qaeda-linked terrorist organization Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the “Organization for the Liberation of the Levant” — a coalition of Syrian and international Islamist groups — took control of Syria, after a 10-day offensive, on December 8, 2024.
Since then, hostility against Christians and other minorities in Syria has soared. Christians are increasingly the victims of intimidation, vandalism, violence and discrimination. They are hostages at the hands of Islamists.
What? Were the “Coexist” bumper stickers not working?
Or maybe they just haven’t made it out of the United States yet, because religious persecution is on the rise worldwide and no one is being targeted more than Christians.

It’s the end of the Christmas season, and at first glance something wonderful seems to have taken place. Canadians have rediscovered their nation’s Christian roots.
Or have they?
Cheerful evidence that they have can be found in the 40 or so cities and provinces, including Toronto, Saskatoon, Calgary, and Saskatchewan, that for the first time have officially declared December to be Christian Heritage Month.
WARMINGTON: They call it ‘winter village,’ but it will always be Toronto’s Christmas market
You can take Christmas out of the market, but you can’t change the fact that it’s still a Christmas market.
But they are sure going to try.
Just when you thought the politically correct, woke, cancel-culture world was starting to be pushed back upon comes word Toronto’s most famous Christmas market is actually more of a seasonal market.
They call it the Distillery Winter Village.

The Persian armies that swept through Palestine in the early 7th century laid waste to every church they came to with the exception of one.
It is said that upon arriving in Bethlehem at the Church of the Nativity the conquering general, Shahrbaraz, decided to spare it when he saw a mosaic of the three wise men depicted on one of the walls of the 6th-century basilica wearing Persian clothing.
Six hundred years later, the church would again narrowly escape destruction following the arrival of Sultan Baibars, who persecuted Christians and pulled down the town walls.
Eight village councils in the central Indian state Chhattisgarh just voted to ban Christians from their towns. They have given the Christians the options to renounce their faith entirely, or lose everything they own.
When Canadian progressives talk about “inclusion,” you can be sure that Christians are about to be excluded.
When the Canadian Armed Forces issued a directive instructing chaplains that they must be “inclusive” at Remembrance Day ceremonies, for example, they meant that Christian prayers and traditional symbolism were to be excluded, especially because — as a 2022 report from the DND noted — Christianity is “a source of suffering and intergenerational trauma” for many Canadians, with this being “especially true for many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirited members of Canadian society.”
The Vancouver Police Board says its vice-chair has resigned following statements she posted to social media that were inconsistent with its code of conduct.
OMG! Behold The Horror!
Of the screenshots shared to Reddit, one post discusses how “mass immigration” and “a growing aversion to assimilation” are “transforming Canada into a place where a shared identity is disappearing.”
Another post questions Diwali celebrations at schools, saying the “push for secular education isn’t about religion — it’s about erasing Christian values from the lives of our children.”
On Nov. 18, Nashville News Channel 5 reporter Phil Williams delivered a breathless “exclusive investigation” into the supposed right-wing radicals targeting rural Jackson County, Tennessee, for a takeover. He claimed, “their views are not so different from the ideas espoused by the neo-Nazis and other white supremacists seen marching down Nashville streets in the past year.”
The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC) has published its annual report 2024 (referring to 2023). According to the organization, during that year more than 2,400 attacks against Christians took place in Europa.
Report fingers radical Islam and radical leftism as motivations for attacks on Christians.
While Christians in America are celebrating an end to the hostile Biden-Harris regime, Christians in Europe witnessed increased persecution and hatred last year, according to a new report. The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe) published its annual report on Friday, examining instances of “intolerance and discrimination against Christians” over the course of 2023. Unfortunately, the report found that religiously-motivated hate crimes against Christians more than doubled last year.
December will be Christian Heritage Month in Toronto – but only after a surprisingly emotional half-hour at City Council.
After Gord Perks unspooled a rant about Canada and its history with the Christian faith, a tearful Lily Cheng, who represents the Willowdale ward, rose to tell council: “Christianity saved my life.”
Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense has spoken out against claims that his tattoos are symbols of white supremacy, calling the criticism “anti-Christian bigotry.”
Pete Hegseth, a longtime Fox News host and war veteran, sports a large Jerusalem Cross on his chest and the Latin inscription Deus Vult, which translates to “God wills it.”
