  • Greg Locke's Financial Fraud: Church Funds for Million-Dollar Homes
    2025/12/27
    Greg Locke claimed he dissolved his church's tax-exempt status. Public records prove he's lying. Former staff members Justin and Casey Greenwell resigned from Global Vision Bible Church, accusing Greg Locke of financial mismanagement and spiritual abuse. They allege Locke used church funds to purchase a $1.6 million house despite claims it came from book sales. Property records show the home is owned by Global Vision Bible Church. The church operates without a functioning board, leaving all financial decisions to Greg Locke and his wife. Despite Locke's public statements about revoking 501(c)(3) status, both federal and Tennessee state records confirm the church remains registered as tax-exempt. The Greenwells published their experiences in "Pulpit of Leaves," detailing a pattern of manipulation, favoritism, and zero accountability. Other former members describe a cult-like environment where questioning leadership results in accusations of witchcraft or possession. Subscribe for more investigations into religious grifters.

  • Glenn Beck's Fake George Washington Spews MAGA Talking Points
    2025/12/25
    Glenn Beck created an AI George Washington that just parrots his own political views instead of history. We fact-check Beck's claims about Washington, morality, and the Constitution. Then: Beck spreads Nazi misinformation about concentration camp symbols. Next: debunking claims of a Christian nationalist revival with actual Pew Research data showing Christianity's collapse among young Americans. Finally: someone tries to make ChatGPT reveal the Antichrist through forced prompts and performs an exorcism on the chatbot. Three stories exposing religious grifters, political manipulation, and AI superstition. Beck's historical revisionism matters because Christian nationalism relies on fake founding father mythology. The data shows no religious revival—just astroturfed movements and declining church attendance across all age groups.

  • Christian Influencers Claim UFOs Are Demons, Not Aliens
    2025/12/19
    Kent Hovind claims UFOs are either government experiments or demons. Kat Kerr denies aliens exist but insists demons live on other planets trying to trick us. Jack Hibbs doesn't believe other planets exist at all—everything's just demons. We're examining three Christian influencers who've decided the UFO phenomenon must be explained through spiritual warfare instead of science. From Kent Hovind recommending books about end-times UFO delusions to Kat Kerr's bizarre theology about demon-inhabited planets to Jack Hibbs' flat rejection of extraterrestrial life, these grifters are selling fear and superstition to their audiences. I fact-check their claims, explain why this conspiracy thinking is dangerous, and show how they're exploiting people's genuine curiosity about unexplained phenomena. If you've ever wondered why some Christians immediately jump to "demons" when discussing UFOs, this episode breaks down the theology and grift behind it.

  • MTG's Epstein Files Betrayal: Why Trump Cut Her Loose
    2025/12/16
    Marjorie Taylor Greene claims Trump turned on her after she signed the Epstein files discharge petition. We break down her 60 Minutes interview where she compares MAGA to battered wives and complains about death threats—the same MTG who harassed Parkland survivor David Hogg. She voted with Trump 98% of the time but now positions herself as a victim when he withdrew support. We examine her resignation from Congress, her sudden concern about threats only after losing Trump's backing, and the hypocrisy of crying victim while building a career on intimidation. Plus: Joel Webbon's marriage advice and Stewart Allen Clark's body-shaming sermon. This compilation exposes the grift behind MAGA influencers who only find principles when their political survival depends on it.

  • Chick Tract's Lies About LGBTQ+ People and Bible Verses Debunked
    2025/12/11
    Jack Chick's Doom Town tract spreads lies about LGBTQ+ people using fake biblical scholarship. I fact-checked every claim and found zero support. We examine how Chick Publications misrepresents Ezekiel 16:49 and other passages, plus dive into neuroscience research showing free will is likely an illusion. Split-brain studies and decision-making experiments reveal our brains make choices before we're consciously aware. Also covering an Oklahoma student's failing essay that Governor Stitt defended as religious persecution - when it's actually just poor academic work lacking citations and evidence.

  • Stew Peters's Racist Children's Book and COVID Conspiracy Empire
    2025/12/09
    Stew Peters claims objective morality proves God exists, but uses it to justify racism and conspiracy theories. I fact-checked his arguments about empathy, bodily autonomy, and moral reasoning. Peters built a media empire spreading COVID denial, anti-vaccine conspiracies, and antisemitic rhetoric while promoting white supremacist children's books. His documentary features legitimate Palestine concerns as cover for Jewish conspiracy theories. We examine how Peters radicalizes audiences through false moral frameworks, his connections to figures like Candace Owens, and why his utilitarian arguments actually support fascism. Despite claiming Christian values, Peters advocates execution for political opponents and normalizes Nazi talking points about racial purity.

  • Valentina Gomez: Christian Grifter Exposed
    2025/12/07
    Valentina Gomez claims to be a devout Christian while threatening beheadings and burning religious texts. I fact-checked her Biblical references and examined her actual behavior against Christian teachings. From confusing basic scripture citations to getting ejected from church services, Gomez demonstrates profound ignorance of the faith she claims to represent. We analyze her inflammatory statements about LGBTQ+ people, her threats against Muslims, and her plans to strip religious institutions of tax-exempt status. Plus: Charlie Kirk's historical revisionism about America's founding gets debunked, and we expose the chemtrails conspiracy theories spreading among Republican politicians. This episode reveals how political grifters weaponize religion while showing complete contempt for its actual teachings.

  • Inside Jehovah's Witnesses' New Clothing Rules
    2025/11/30
    Jehovah's Witnesses have made a surprising change to their dress code, allowing sisters to wear slacks and brothers to grow beards. This shift marks a significant departure from the organization's traditional rules, including the infamous 1922 beard ban imposed by leader Joseph Rutherford. We examine the historical context behind these changes and what they reveal about the evolving nature of religious institutions.
