By Laurie Higgins   |   12.08.20
The state of Illinois long ago made the embarrassing leap from local joke to national joke. The Land of Lincoln is now the corrupt, insolvent, morally vacuous, leftist dystopia of U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, Springfield mob boss...

Parents: We Need God
By Jonathan Lewis   |   12.05.20
Parenting is a big job. I know, I know—that's the understatement of the year, right?

Ordinances Banning ‘Sexual Orientation Change Efforts’ Are Unconstitutional, Says 11th Circuit

Many Christians, especially when it comes to LGBT-related issues, have bought into what might be called “the inevitability thesis.” Nearly everything in our culture has convinced them to assume that it is futile for anyone to resist their same-sex attractions.

“Hard cases make bad law,” and national emergencies make hard cases.  A notorious example of this maxim is the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to vindicate the claims of West Coast Americans who were put in “assignment” or “assembly centers” en masse during World War II solely because they were of Japanese descent and, thus, inherently had a greater potential for treason and espionage.  The Court’s reasoning...

Left-Wing Hate Group: Schools “Weaponize Whiteness”
By Alex Newman   |   12.01.20
Schools across America are “weaponizing whiteness,” according to the scandal-plagued Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). To combat this alleged problem, teachers must let children run classrooms while indoctrinating them into hating the very foundations of the United States and viewing everything through the lens of “race,”  explained the far-left hate group.
A Major Legal Victory Against LGBTQ Tyranny
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   11.30.20
