One in seven Christian Colleges and Universities have formed some form of association with abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood. 725 institutions were surveyed, with 114 found to have abortion industry connects. The report claimed, “A painstaking investigation into each school’s website revealed an alarming number of proabortion internships, promoted events, and class resources, along with advertised ‘health’ resources, volunteer opportunities, and general support of abortion.”

Alarming Number of Christian Colleges Have Connections to Abortion Providers – legalinsurrection.com

A new report has sparked debate over how Christian colleges and universities across the country approach abortion-related resources on their campuses, with researchers identifying more than 100 faith-based institutions that maintain some form of connection to abortion providers.

The Institute for Pro-Life Advancement recently released its latest findings examining 725 Christian-affiliated colleges and universities, flagging 114 institutions that have some sort of tie to abortion providers, such as listing Planned Parenthood as a student health resource or maintaining referral relationships with abortion providers.

“More than one in seven Christian colleges and universities maintain some type of relationship with Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry,” stated the 32-page report.

Published in January, it cites 10 schools in particular that have “completely forsaken their Christian values in terms of abortion”: American University, Duke University, Dickinson College, Macalester College, Rhodes College, Emory University, Hope College, Southern Methodist University, Augsburg University, and Otterbein University.

A federal appeals court handed an elementary school student a significant win this week for her free speech rights in the classroom, vacating a lower court’s ruling that had placed her speech rights at the whim of teachers and administrators.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit found that the lower court did not properly apply the standard set in the 1969 Supreme Court ruling Tinker v. Des Moines, which found that a student does not lose his free speech rights at school and that schools may only restrict speech if it causes significant disruption to the learning environment. The ruling said the lower court was wrong in finding that the student’s drawing, at the center of the dispute, was not protected by the First Amendment.

“This case presents an important issue: to what extent is elementary students’ speech protected by the First Amendment? Applying the criteria set forth in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, we hold that elementary students’ speech is protected by the First Amendment, the
age of the students is a relevant factor under Tinker, and schools may restrict students’ speech only when the restriction is reasonably necessary to protect the safety and well-being of its students,” the ruling said.

Idaho Republican lawmakers took a strong stand against homosexual “marriage,” voting to reject the Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges ruling as “an illegitimate overreach” and urge the court to overturn it.

The Idaho House of Representatives passed a resolution on Tuesday condemning the 2015 decision for “arbitrarily and unjustly” subverting the true definition of marriage, which “has been recognized as the union of one man and one woman for more than 2,000 years.”

The resolution – House Joint Memorial 17 – declares that “the Idaho Legislature rejects the Obergefell decision” and “calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell and restore the natural definition of marriage.”

As we approach the sixth anniversary of the first mandatory stay-at-home orders in reaction to Covid, it seems most Americans just want to forget the whole era. After all, for many people, it is easier to forget rather than confront their participation in the mass hysteria that included seniors forced to die alone, crushed livelihoods, and stunting the education of an entire generation.

But this willful blindness leaves us vulnerable to a repeat performance. In particular, unelected federal judges have not performed any meaningful self-reflection regarding their behavior during Covid, and so we are a bad flu season away from them reprising their role as public health overlords.

The left’s ideology is not rooted in universal truth. This is especially true when it comes to transgenderism. In fact, the entire foundation of that ideology is rooted in the lie that gender is somehow malleable.

This also contradicts the gay agenda. This is because, at one point in time, the left pretended people were “born this way.” The problem now, however, is that the premise for transgenderism is that some are born in the wrong body. Subsequently, if you can allegedly change your sex, then being gay and/or lesbian becomes meaningless. Thus, two things cannot be true at the same time. Either it is true that gay people are born gay or that trans people are born trans. These things cannot coexist — and yes, both can be false. Draw your own conclusions.

For more than 15 years, Fox News has periodically asked registered voters: “Do you think it would be a good thing or a bad thing for the United States to move away from capitalism and more toward socialism?”

In January 2009, when the U.S. economy was mired in the Great Recession, 23 percent of respondents said they believed that would be a “good thing” versus 65 percent who said that would be a “bad thing.”

By July 2010, the portion of registered voters who considered a transition from capitalism to socialism a “good thing” reached an all-time low of 18 percent, while those who considered more socialism a “bad thing” reached an all-time high of 69 percent.

Today, 38 percent of Americans, more than double the number in 2010, think it would be a “good thing” for the United States to move away from capitalism and more toward socialism.

The NYPD has confirmed that the device thrown at conservative protesters in New York City was not just a crude explosive—it was a shrapnel bomb packed with nuts, bolts, and screws designed to maximize carnage. Police say that had it detonated, the blast could have killed or maimed large numbers of people in the crowd. New York came frighteningly close to a mass-casualty attack.

The Daily Caller Foundation has released a report that exposes “online pharmacies” as being sources for children to get access to “transition” drugs. Kurt Miceli, chief medical officer at DNH, summarized the report, claiming it “reveals how online pharmacies may enable minors to obtain cross-sex hormones with alarming ease.

“From websites listing online vendors across the globe to marketplaces for ‘homebrewed’ hormones, we found a multitude of troubling pathways that appear to bypass basic safeguards and regulatory oversight. Gender-confused kids should not be able to purchase potent, experimental medications with just a few simple clicks. These hormones carry significant risks, including effects that can be irreversible.

We urge the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] and other federal agencies to investigate any potential unlawful sellers and, where appropriate, for states to do the same when their laws are being violated,” Miceli continued. “Protecting minors from unsafe and unregulated access to powerful cross-sex hormones must remain a priority.”

Officials in Austin, Texas, have reached a settlement with a former volunteer chaplain for the Austin Fire Department who sued after he was dismissed from his role following posts on his personal blog that discussed his religious views.

Andrew Fox, an ordained minister who helped launch the department’s chaplaincy program, served as the city’s lead volunteer chaplain for eight years. He filed a lawsuit in 2022 alleging that the city violated his First Amendment rights after officials demanded he apologize for blog posts stating that men and women are biologically different and expressing opposition to men competing in women’s sports.

At the time, he was one of many individuals who were fired, suspended, or otherwise cancelled for discussing their disfavored views on their personal social media platforms. At the time, his case was particularly alarming because, as the Standing for Freedom Center asked at the time, “If chaplains can’t write about or discuss their religious beliefs without fear of retribution, who can?”

Under the settlement, city officials agreed to pay Fox damages and issued a letter thanking him for his service.

“Everyone should be able to speak freely without fear of punishment just for expressing a view with which the government disagrees,” said Hal Frampton, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and director of the ADF Center for Conscience Initiatives, who represented Fox.

Pop legend Stevie Wonder told white people to “overcome” their “hate” and “white supremacy” during his time at the mic during Reverend Jessie Jackson’s public funeral on Friday.

The “Isn’t She Lovely” singer appeared during Jackson’s “homecoming” event and told the crowd that “Rev. Jackson and I had a long and strong history.”

“It was personal and political. We were able to love each other and support each other through the good and the bad. I knew his heart, I respected his mind, and trusted his soul. I wish we could say everyone did,” he said of Jackson, who died in February at 84, according to CBS News

Wonder also performed the song “As,” along with “They Won’t Go When I Go,” which he said “speaks the truth in my heart.”

But Wonder also delivered an attack against white people.

“It is you, and you know who you are,” he lectured. “You need to overcome hate. You need to overcome the mindset of white supremacy…You shall overcome the need to dominate every single country and its people.”

Isabelle Valdez, 15, and Lois Lippert, 14, were unaware that they were being recorded as they discussed their plans in the back of a police vehicle in January, according to the Altamonte Springs Police Department.

They also discussed the blood pact about Lanza and whether someone ratted on them.

Police were alerted to the alleged plot through an anonymous tip on Jan. 22 saying a student at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs was being targeted in a murder scheme.

On Jan. 23, both girls went to school, and by 7:38 a.m. police had asked a security guard to get Valdez out of class.

During the demonstration, authorities said at least one device was ignited. Two suspects, identified by authorities as Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested on the scene in connection with the incident. Police revealed the device was an improvised explosive device consisting of a sports drink bottle filled with volatile explosive material known as TATP, placed inside a glass jar and surrounded by nuts and bolts.

The New York Post reported that law enforcement sources said Balat used the Arabic phrase “Allahu Akbar” after his police interview. During a brief appearance before reporters, he flashed the single-finger gesture associated with ISIS.

And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.

In new book, gender studies professor says it’s time to abolish these labels

“Sexual identity” labels should be abolished because they “harm trans people” in their dating and sex lives, a UC Riverside professor argues in a new book.

Brandon Robinson, a professor of sociology, gender, and sexuality studies, wrote the book “Trans Pleasure: On Gender Liberation and Sexual Freedom” based on interviews with men who identify as women (“trans women and trans femmes — trans people who identify with a feminine gender expression”) and their Reddit conversations about dating and sex.

The book documents these individuals’ experiences in “the bedroom,” “restaurants,” “dating apps,” and other typical dating spaces, and the discrimination that they often face, according to Robinson.

“… dominant understandings of sexual identities—which center desires around gender and genitals—harm trans people. They also limit how everyone can love and feel pleasure,” according to the book description.

Republican Indiana Governor Mike Braun has officially signed into law a bill that will protect people of Faith from being excluded from adoption and foster care.

To his supporters, Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States. For our enemies, he is something far more intolerable: the de facto leader of Western civilization. He is nothing less than the obstacle to a civilizational transformation they have already advanced in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Ottawa.

This enemy has a name: the Red-Green alliance. It is the political covenant between the left and Islam. Its strength is precisely that it is not external. It votes. It holds our passports. It sits in our legislatures and city halls. It shouts down, as in the example of Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, our president’s State of the Union. This is the enemy within: a left who mobilizes blocs of Islamic voters whose only shared objective is the destruction of the West.

Trump is alone among Western leaders in saying this plainly. When pressed as to whether British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to assist U.S action against Iran was due to his “pandering to Muslim voters,” Trump refused to recite the ritual lie.
