As we approach the upcoming holiday, it’s time to remind everyone not to go around saying, “Happy Memorial Day.” Nice thought on most other holidays. But not this one.

America desperately needs to become more family-friendly and child-friendly again. Government websites and incentives may help at the margins, but the deeper issue is cultural: marriage is delayed, children are often viewed as burdens, and God’s design for family has been abandoned.

Did terrorists target a critical dam? If true, this raises serious questions about infrastructure security and just how vulnerable America may be to attacks on critical systems. We cannot afford complacency when public safety and national security are at stake.

Want to help Make Speech Clean Again? In a culture drowning in profanity, insults, gossip, and verbal filth, Christians should speak differently. Our words matter — and they should reflect truth, grace, wisdom, and the character of Christ.

More than 330,000 unaccompanied migrant children have reportedly gone missing after being released through the federal system — despite billions in taxpayer funding meant to protect them. Bureaucratic failures, NGO stonewalling, and a lack of accountability have fueled what may be one of the greatest child exploitation scandals in modern American history.

A school teacher who planned & carried out political violence—and the warning signs were there. For years, parents have been told not to worry about what’s happening in classrooms. But when ideology replaces truth, the consequences are real. Parents, grandparents and pastors: it’s time to take a hard look.

The SPLC built a massive empire labeling mainstream conservative and Christian groups as “hate”—while raking in hundreds of millions in donations. Follow the money. Follow the agenda. Fear is their business model.

When Obergefell was originally passed, it was championed as this win for “adult equality.” After all, it was marketed as homosexual couples just wanting the same legal benefits as heterosexual couples, such as tax breaks.

Planned Parenthood ended 434,450 lives in 2025—and took $832 million from taxpayers to do it. That doesn’t even include untracked chemical abortions. A nation that funds the destruction of its own children is a nation that does not fear the judgment of Almighty God. Pray fervently—and speak out.

For years, conversion therapy bans were built on emotional narratives, questionable testimony, outright lies and institutional groupthink. The U.S. Supreme Court just pulled back the curtain—and raised the bar. A house built on sand cannot stand.

We’re called to care for the poor—not bankroll systems that profit from their suffering. Today’s “hunger industry” rewards administrators, not results. That’s not charity. It’s exploitation.

Waiting for an “imminent threat” before confronting Iran isn’t wisdom—it’s suicide. We don’t wait for the flames to reach our windows before acting. We don’t wait for the enemy to strike first. America must protect her people—first. 🇺🇸

CAIR-Chicago calls the “Sharia-Free America Caucus” a threat to religious freedom. No—it’s a defense of it. This isn’t about banning Islam. It’s about stopping Sharia law from being normalized in America—especially where it harms women and girls. We must understand the difference.

In the spring of 2025, a group of elementary school students was shadowboxing in a gymnasium in downstate Illinois. One student was struck, and several others were involved in the incident. When the dust settled, only some were disciplined — suspended from school based on video evidence from the building's surveillance cameras.

Both parties gave private access to insiders with known mob ties — even after Secret Service warnings. Not a mistake. A system protecting “institutional interests.” From WWII to Epstein, the pattern never stopped. They knew. They allowed it.
