EXCERPT:

Just hours before being sworn in to the Kansas Supreme Court yesterday, Johnson County District Judge Christopher Jayaram struck down Kansas’ Women’s Right to Know Act.

This commonsense informed consent law provided a 24-hour waiting period and ensured that women received information about potential health risks and alternatives to abortion. The law had been in place since 1997 and had broad bipartisan support.

Judge Jayaram will join the Kansas Supreme Court after being selected through the so-called “merit” process currently in place.

The timing of the decision demonstrates the abortion industry’s strategic attacks on commonsense protections for women and babies and complete disregard for human suffering.

BIBLICAL LITERACY

In the Final Thought of our July 10 issue, How Struggling with the First Adam Girds My Strength in Scripture, Bill Collier wrote:

“Scripture is GOD BREATHED and PERFECT entirely. Our UNDERSTANDING of it, and specific translations, may contain errors, but the SOURCE is perfect.

“I believe the unfolding of our understanding of God’s eternal and unchangeable truth is an ongoing process. We must weigh everything, from Scripture to science, history, logic, and experience, to even begin to understand God’s Creation. But the final authority is the Bible, in all things, according to my faith, which I hold without wavering.

“There are things I understand now, convictions I have held, that have changed as I’ve gained understanding of the Bible and of science, logic, and history, as well as my own experiences. My understanding of our Regency in Christ, for instance, has changed in different ways over the years as I’ve tested my understanding against all these things, with Scripture as the final authority.

“We have tens of thousands of manuscripts for both the Jewish canon and the Christian New Testament canon.

“If we don’t seek truth in scripture, then it is our own fault for walking away from it. To say we did not understand God’s laws and His truth when all of Scripture is preserved intact is indefensible: we are without excuse.”

Being anchored in scripture as a believer equips us to process the material world around us. In this Final Thought, Collier was demonstrating how to reconcile material understanding with scripture, and which should be your starting point (scripture).

For our readers already anchored in the Word, here are some resources and ideas you might share with your family and friends to encourage them to meditate daily on scripture. For those not anchored in the Word, here is a great place to start.

For non-believers, we would recommend you chose a complex text that necessitates whole understanding with particular truths to mediate on daily as well. In material reductionist terms, if the text is less than 500 standard print pages, it is probably not complex enough to equip the mind for whole system understanding.

Volume alone is obviously not enough, it must also have high interconnectivity, such as the Bible has.

If you’ve chosen the Bible, for whatever reason, here are some possible starting points.

  1. RESOURCES AND RECOMMENDATIONS – Here are two resources to give you an idea, and some tools, on how to approach your daily meditating on the Word.

This offers multiple approaches to reading scripture, as well as offering tools to get you started.

Here you will find a general outline and map of the structure of scripture, along with a recommended approach to learning the whole Word, from Genesis to Revelation.

  1. PGC’S PLAN – Editor Paul Gordon Collier describes his approach to meditating on the Word daily. The primary resource he uses for his daily reading is

Bible.com.

Here you will find multiple translations of scripture, along with several reading plans.

Here is Paul Gordon Collier’s bible reading approach:

I have been using variations of this plan for six years. I work through scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, at least once every 90 days. This part of my reading covers a lot of material in a short time, which is about 30-45 minutes.

I also work through scripture at a more contemplative, reflective, and cross-referencing level through plans that focus on sections of scripture. For the first four years, I read smaller entries from the Books of Moses, the Gospels, the Books of History, the Major and Minor Prophets, the Books of Wisdom, the Letters of Paul, Revelation, Psalm 119, Job, and the rest of the New Testament.

This part of my reading took an hour and a half. I spent 2 plus hours a day reading scripture, which is not sustainable, but for a season it was.

Now, my readings include my “fast reading,” my driving-through reading to keep me familiarized with the whole path, and just three “slow readings” right now, the books of Moses, the Gospels, and the Books of History.

The “slow readings” take about 30 minutes to an hour, meaning I read about 90 minutes a day currently, which I have for the last two years.

I highly recommend you consider at least an hour-a-day plan, using the bible.com app.

FUTUREQ ANALYSIS OF 3D PRINTING

In our July 16, 2026, issue of MIA, Paul Gordon Collier analyzed the current state of 3D Printing, or additive manufacturing, or AM. In AM World: The Birth of On-Demand Manufacturing, Collier wrote: “I’d expect to see states mostly going too far one way or another in their approaches that cannot fairly see true reality due to ideological capture. They will mostly lean too far on protecting decentralizing threats, though some states will find short-term opportunity in allowing more unregulated development.

“In America, progressive states will move more aggressively against decentralized threats than conservative states will. This will also break down to county and local governance as well. Generally, Democrat-controlled lands will move more aggressively to limit 3D printing across the board for citizens, while Republican-controlled lands will move more aggressively against microfactory power than it will weapons printing power.

“The continued development of AM will disrupt the nature of manufacturing at some scale, moving it further away from guessing demand and more towards being able to print on demand. It is not in the state’s best interests for warehouses to disappear, be it Republican or Democrat led. Yet warehouses will start to disappear, though not entirely, for regulations will prevent that from completely happening.”

We believe there will be a small window for small-scale operators to enter the microfactory marketplace, creating new local manufacturing businesses specializing in particularly unique local needs. We encourage those who are capable to consider exploring becoming one of those entrepreneurs.

Here are some resources to help you explore the possibility. We are exploring the possibility ourselves.

Here you will learn about regional production, AI-assisted manufacturing, capital investment needs, and supply chain organizing.

SMOKING VULNERABILITIES

In last week’s issue of MIA, Paul Gordon Collier did a Deep Dive on President Donald Trump’s special Primetime Speech about fraud in the 2020 election.

He concluded, “Any progressive outlet that does not recognize the existential threat that mass mailer voting, electronic voting, prolonged voting periods, and post-election-day vote counting are to our republic should be considered plainly part of the insurrectionist operation.

“Your friends, your family members that are still in denial that mass mailer elections are inherently corrupt have chosen a different nation-state than you have. They chose “safe bondage” over “dangerous liberty,” and they WILL turn you into the authorities once the authorities have the power to ask them to do so. They are all willing to kill their neighbors, even their family members, to assure their safe bondage.

“After all, they’ve successfully sub-humanized the most innocent, the unborn, and that they did in the name of carnal pleasure, casual sex that casually murders the consequence of its own freewill actions.

“You must be willfully ignorant to approve a voting process that makes it so easy for our enemies to decide our elections for us. Our enemies include the Democratic Party, significant elements of the Republican Party (especially in leadership), and all the rank-and-file progressives that live among us, plotting to murder us all in the name of ‘diversity.’”

At times such as these, the temptation to demonize the other, to make them subhuman enough to justify killing them, or otherwise use coercive action against them, is high. Yet we who are in Christ are still called to love our enemies, even while they plot to murder us.

Speaking plainly about evil is love rejoicing in truth, but forgetting the power of the Holy Spirit to lead us from evil to righteousness will make those declarations incitements to unjust violence, not righteous warnings intended to restore our enemies to righteous flourishing with us.

We appeal to our Christian brothers and sisters to keep speaking plainly against the growing evil around you, but to pepper your rightful condemnation of sin with the hope of redemption and restoration. The more we forget to offer hope with our condemnation, the more we become evil as well, taking wrath where only God is justified in taking it.

While we will continue to speak plainly against evil, we will also continue to offer hope of redemption and restoration to the enemies currently committing the evil.

We believe in restoration, not eternal condemnation, for only God eternally condemns.

Scripture has a righteous path for conflict resolution. Its principles can help guide you to keep one foot in righteous condemnation of sin and the other foot in righteous hope for restoration of the sinner.

Hospital Pays After Forcing Trans Ideology on Staff

EXCERPT:

A Michigan physician assistant (PA) who alleged she was fired after refusing to comply with hospital transgender policies because of her religious beliefs is receiving a $410,000 settlement in her wrongful termination lawsuit.

Valerie Kloosterman sued University of Michigan Health-West (UMHW) filed suit in 2022 after she was fired in August 2021, alleging the 200-bed suburban Grand Rapids teaching hospital was requiring her to go against her conscience as a Christian.

“All I wanted to do was provide the best care possible to my patients without being forced to violate my Christian beliefs,” Kloosterman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

She was represented in the lawsuit by First Liberty Institute, which documented that Kloosterman had “received positive performance reviews throughout her employment before raising faith-based objections to mandatory gender identity training,” the news outlet reported.

The legal advocacy nonprofit reported she was terminated after requesting a religious accommodation from finishing training that “required her to affirm statements about gender identity that were in violation of her Christian faith.”

No effort was made to accommodate her, according to the institute which takes on civil rights cases to “reclaim religious freedom in America.”

According to Fox Digital’s report:

The lawsuit says University of Michigan Health-West officials called her to a meeting, where they disparaged her religious beliefs, called her “evil” and a “liar,” told her she could not bring her Christian beliefs into the workplace, and accused her of contributing to suicides among individuals with gender dysphoria.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider warned in a sermon this weekend that “nothing is more dangerous for a religion” than “interference with the liturgy.”

The auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, defended the importance of upholding the Church’s sacred tradition, including its traditional liturgy, during a visit to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest in Limerick, Ireland.

He emphasized that it is a perpetual precept of the Catholic Church to remain faithful to its tradition, both “doctrinally and liturgically,” The Catholic Herald reported.

“True piety admits no other rule than that only those things which have been (faithfully) received from our fathers, those same are to be (faithfully) consigned to our children,” said Schneider.

Final Thought – Climate Change Freedom

pgnewser July 30, 2026 0

By Bill Collier, Publisher

“As for the scoundrel – his devices are evil; he plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.” – Isaiah 32:7

“And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered.

“‘Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.’” – Genesis 9:1-5

I don’t believe the climate change cultists want to address pollution or the things that we are or are not doing which hurt our planet. They won’t propose things that lead to local, house portable solutions that empower people. They demand more control, more regulations, and more denials of human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing as the only proper goals of human civilization itself. This planet was made for man, not man for this planet.

Nuclear energy, house portable solar and wind energy could empower individuals to become “energy independent.”

With public funding, that empowerment could be accelerated, but government interests don’t traditionally align with empowering individual self-stewardship, or independence.

Such approaches could lessen human contributions to global warming while also weening people from government and corporate dependencies.

Climate change is merely a thin coat of green covering a black heart wrapped in a weird neo-communist corporatism, where the planned economy is planned in corporate boardrooms which control politicians elected through legerdemain.

This doesn’t mean we don’t need to address our impacts on our earth; it is our home, and we are God’s stewards to rule it, but we are to do so wisely and with care. Currently, as righteous stewards of God’s planet, we are failing. But that’s been our story since humanity began; we do good, and we do bad. Sometimes, we do them both at the same time.

The climate change cult wants more government, more corporate monopolies, more regulations, more control, and less freedom and economic abundance, a state of abject dependency without informed consent.

I say we have a lack of informed consent because elections run on lies and are filled with fraud, as ours are. Elections represent only a range of acceptable options to the true rulers, most of whom could care less if you or your country survive.

How can we consent when we are lied to and when outcomes are often rigged or at least unfairly supported by manipulation and trickery?

These people would burn your family in front of you just to warm their hands. They’ll do this while lecturing to you about your own consumption, or your use of air conditioning. They are willing to sacrifice you on the altar of their power.

Climate change itself is real, both cyclical and manmade, I am sure. But we don’t know the truth when the ones telling us what is happening, why it’s happening, and what’s coming next keep being proven wrong. These same people have many conflicts of interest, including having funding that EXPECTS certain outcomes, not true scientific discovery.

It is all dishonest and disingenuous.

I do suspect we are hurting the earth, and that we must do better, but doing better has to be done in a way that benefits humanity. Do the proposed “remedies” to climate change increase our self-sustainability and self-reliance? Or do these “remedies” make us “own nothing” while being forced to “like it” on pain of being shunned, shamed, or banned?

House portable is the starting point for me. Our current zoning and building regulations make creating a truly stand-alone, self-sustaining household with its own basic onsite source for food and water, nearly impossible.

Yet this would reduce emissions and all the other “bad stuff” that’s killing our planet. The goal is not to save the planet, it is to enslave the people on it. The people championing this controlling “remedy” to man-made climate change all imagine they will be part of the “exception class.” They will be the class of people not being forced to live spartan lives for the sake of saving the planet from man-made global warming.

Out of the nine billion plus people on the planet, you better hope you’re in the top 5-10 million people, for those outside that elite number can expect to live like serfs. Within that elite group will be 5-10 clusters of cartels of (from 100 or so cartels) consisting of around 120,000 total shot-callers at the top of this pyramid, with all it warring parts.

It would be interesting to build a database of these bad actors and their corporate and political entities, because while they all hate us, or see us as cattle, they also hate each other and vie for dominance over each other.

Their superpower is their ability to quickly unite against any population group that is proven to be against their agenda. So long as there is an enemy outside the camp, unity is strong within it. This is why they hate white people, while secretly promoting racism against non-white people, like the SPLC is alleged to have done.

White people as a cultural group are so far still too resistant, just as the Igbo, an African people, and the “barbarians” of Chihuahua state Mexico, remain immune to their “charms.”

Climate change is not a hoax. The underlying assumption that we are messing up our home is accurate, in my opinion. The solutions based on human sovereignty, human dignity, and human flourishing are not beyond our ability.

If the government truly wanted to combat human-made global warming, nothing would work quite like empowering and enabling house-local human flourishing solutions. One has little doubt that any plan that offers self-stewarded human flourishing, no matter how effective it might be in minimizing human-made global warming, will be viewed as a threat to their true agenda, to use a crisis to justify state and corporate micromanagement of human action.

The climate change cult is as allergic to human sovereignty as they are to the existence of the State of Israel or to the facts of human biology and human nature. They are destroying the social fabric of extended family groups that are self-sufficient within themselves because they want to OWN US ALL.

I want to see sustainable solutions that are freedom and abundance based, human centric, because the earth was made for us, not us for the earth.

EXCERPT:

A Catholic bishop will celebrate Mass at a series of pro-LGBT parish gatherings in Rhode Island while the Diocese of Providence refuses to clarify whether attendees will be called to repentance or offered sacramental confession, in accordance with the Church’s moral teaching.

The Diocese of Providence is holding four parish gatherings for “LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and friends” across Rhode Island, where Bishop Bruce Lewandowski will celebrate the Masses and participate in “small group sharing” sessions for “listening humbly to the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals.”

According to the program published on the diocesan website, the pro-LGBT gatherings are divided into three parts. The first section is a “small group sharing,” in which Lewandowski and other collaborators will listen “humbly” not only to the so-called LGBT Catholics, but also their “families and friends.” The second section is the Holy Mass, celebrated by Lewandowski, and third, “a community dinner provided for all attendees.”

The announcement opens with a well-known quotation from Pope Francis: “Todos, Todos, Todos (Everyone, Everyone, Everyone). That is the Church, the Mother of all. There is room for everyone.”

The planned events have drawn criticism after the Lepanto Institute reported diocesan officials had declined to answer direct questions about how the events square with Church teaching on anthropology and morality.

At least 30 Christians were killed in an attack on their village in Kaduna State in Nigeria on Sunday. Truth Nigeria reports the number of killed actually exceeds 60 people, citing multiple attacks.

According to International Christian Concern (ICC), gunmen entered the village of Naridon and began firing on people inside their homes. They also set several houses on fire as people fled into the fields.

A ministry called Building Zion reports the attacks continued for many hours without any response from security or government forces, stretching into the early morning.

“Every month, we bury our people,” Rt. Hon. Stephen Hajara, spokesperson for the Kauru Local Government Legislative Council, told ICC. “Last month, we buried 11 people, including children; now, another mass burial of 30. Enough is enough, please! Please come to our aid!”

Some community members described the attackers as suspected ethnic Fulani militants.

“The same community was attacked last year around this time,” said Derek Christopher, chairman of the civil society group Southern Kaduna Peace and Security Network. He suggests that the government has abandoned any intention of protecting the area from attacks by armed groups. “I don’t know who these people have left to fight for them,” he said.

CBN News spoke with Alex Barbir, founder of Building Zion, who has traveled to the most ravaged villages in Nigeria to help Christians rebuild their destroyed homes and communities. Here’s what he told us about this latest group of attacks:

“We have a First Amendment, for crying out loud. No established religion,” Gorsuch said to defend the position that the country’s founding did not rest on a single religion.

“We were never supposed to be a nation that was about one race or one religion,” Gorsuch said, seemingly unaware of Federalist Paper No. 2 by John Jay. “It was about those ideas.”

The “ideas” referenced by Gorsuch are equality, individual rights, and self-government, ideas he points out were enshrined in our founding documents.

Catholic Nuns Take On New York’s ‘Coercive’ Assisted Suicide Law– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Not a week seems to pass in which religious Americans are all but forced to go to court to defend their First Amendment rights from government overreach. It now appears the latest incident of this dynamic is coming full circle in Democrat-run New York.

On July 20, several orders of Catholic nuns and Catholic health care ministries sued the Empire State for enacting a new medically assisted suicide law they allege requires them to violate their religious faith. With the new statute set to take effect on Aug. 5, the Catholic plaintiffs in Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm v. James are seeking immediate relief in federal court to halt the state’s efforts to “coerce” them and other religious providers into forgoing their beliefs.

“Our clients have been dedicated for over 100 years each to serving some of New York’s most vulnerable citizens, and there are patients who actively seek them out. They actively seek them out because they share the same beliefs, they want to die in accordance with those beliefs, and New York is taking away their ability to do that,” Becket — Religious Liberty for All counsel Laura Slavis, whose group is representing the nuns and ministries, told The Federalist.

Signed into law earlier this year, New York’s Medical Aid in Dying Act (MAID) grants terminally ill adults the ability to request that their physician administer life-ending drugs. The statute lays out the process by which patients may do so, as well as the form language they must use when filing such a request.

In their lawsuit, the Catholic nuns and health care ministries argue that MAID — “which builds upon requirements in the [New York’s] Palliative Care Information Act” — “conscript[s] even religious healthcare providers and institutions to participate in the provision of physician-assisted suicide.” They claim that, under these statutes, “medical providers caring for terminally ill New Yorkers will have to proactively inform and counsel their patients about their ‘option’ to kill themselves.”

Euthanasia Bill Resurfaces in Britian

EXCERPT:

The following message was sent out by Not Dead Yet UK:

By now you’ll know that the assisted dying bill is back.

On 17 June, Labour MP Lauren Edwards introduced a new version of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. MPs will vote on whether it should proceed at its second reading on 11 September 2026. That’s less than two months away.

So what’s new?Honestly? Not much.

This is the same bill Kim Leadbeater brought forward in 2024 — the one that spent months being picked apart in the House of Lords, generating more than 1,300 amendments before running out of time in April. The bill fell not because it was defeated, but because Parliament was prorogued. Now it’s back, with two minor Lords amendments incorporated.

The first is a technical Wales amendment. Because delivering health services is devolved to the Welsh Government, the bill now requires the Senedd to give its approval before Welsh Ministers can set up the regulations for assisted dying in Wales. It’s a constitutional housekeeping change. It doesn’t alter what the bill actually does.

The second concerns people with eating disorders. This one is more serious. During the Lords debates earlier this year, peers raised concerns that someone with anorexia could potentially stop eating — deliberately — in order to reach the six-month terminal threshold and qualify for an assisted death. A minor amendment was added in the Lords to address this. But experts who work with people with eating disorders say it doesn’t go far enough. The loophole, they argue, remains. We agree.

Ninth Circuit Rules Public Schools Dictate All Belief to Staff

pgnewser July 28, 2026 1

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 that a Christian teacher in a public school cannot show students any material that contradicts the school’s supremacist LGBTQ plus ideology. This ideology compels forced acceptance of belief, including gender fluidity and transitioning children, which is an existential challenge to American Rule of Law, where no entity, government or private, can compel belief or speech.

The dissenting Judge, Lawrence VanDyke, wrote, “Could public school administrators establish a policy allowing office decoration with partisan political messages deemed sufficiently ‘compassionate’ but prohibit—as inherently ‘hostile’—any political speech that did not align with the Democratic Socialists of America platform?…

If your instinctual answer to each of these questions is ‘No!’… you might be an everyday American. But according to the majority today, you vastly overestimate the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech in our nation’s schools. In a decision that is irreconcilable with Supreme Court precedent, the majority announces an expansive new rule that all expression by public-school employees that might be observed by students is necessarily government speech, and not the personal speech of an American citizen—even when any reasonable observer would perceive the speech as the employee’s own personal expression.”

[UPDATE] On Tuesday, a panel of judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Oregon social worker Rod Theis has no free speech right to display books in his public school office that disagree with radical gender ideology — and that his firing was justified.

Theis, a devout Christian, used to work as an education specialist for InterMountain Education Service District, which required him to travel to different district schools to administer standardized tests to students. He was not a teacher and rarely had contact with most students but did have office space in two of the districts’ schools.

Many InterMountain district staff, including teachers, are allowed to decorate their classrooms and offices with various posters, flags, and books that promote Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ messages, pride flags, political candidates, views on political and social topics, and more. While still employed there, Theis followed their lead by displaying three children’s books — Johnny the Walrus, He is He, and She is She — in his offices. The three books teach the biblical view that sex is unchanging and that children should accept themselves as the sex they were born.

Though no student or parent ever complained about the books, one teacher in 2024 researched the books online, determined that they promote a “binary view of gender,” and filed a complaint, claiming that the three books are “transphobic” and therefore offensive. In response, InterMountain officials ordered Theis to remove the books. He filed a lawsuit and received an injunction from a district court that allowed him to display the books when students were not present. Soon thereafter, the same hostile teacher sent several students to Theis’s office, asking to see the books, to which he eventually agreed; the staff member caught Theis on video showing the books to the students, and the school district fired him.

U.S. Court of Appeals Rules Homonormativity Trumps Religious Liberty

pgnewser July 28, 2026 0

In a 2-1 ruling the U.S. Court of Appeals of the First Circuit ruled Christian private schools that take any funds from the state of Maine can legally be required to openly accept and celebrate homonormativity even though it directly contradicts God’s Word.

The court wrote, “Just as combatting religious discrimination qualifies as a legitimate governmental pursuit, so too combatting sexual-orientation and gender-identity discrimination rises to that level.”

The ruling effectively forces Christian schools to withdraw all business with the state. If upheld by SCOTUS, it would create a hierarchy of value of rights that favored sexuality and gender fluidity over religious belief. This would end religious freedom in America, as it has ended, for now, in Maine.

EXCERPT:

Private religious schools that receive public funds must follow state laws that prohibit discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation or religion, a federal court ruled last week.

The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston came after two schools — Saint Dominic Academy in Auburn and Bangor Christian Schools, run by Crosspoint Church — asked for exemptions from the Maine Human Rights Act so they wouldn’t be required to enforce policies that contradicted their religious beliefs, such as admitting students who were openly gay or transgender, for instance, or requiring teachers to use students’ preferred pronouns.

The appeals court largely upheld a lower court’s decision denying this exemption, but it differed in its opinion of the state’s rules around religious expression and asked that the lower court reconsider how that provision applies to religious schools.

EXCERPT:

In her memoir, abortionist Christine Henneberg wrote about a woman who had an abortion because she believed she was carrying a boy and wanted a girl.

Henneberg, who watched the abortion via ultrasound as she committed it, saw that the child was, in fact, a girl—but didn’t tell the woman.

Instead, she allowed the woman to believe she’d aborted a boy instead of the girl she wanted.

The woman was 14 weeks pregnant. When she was on the abortion table, she said, “I didn’t want to be here today, you know.”

Henneberg didn’t stop the abortion and discuss alternatives, or make sure the patient truly wanted the abortion. Instead, Ronnie, the abortion worker assisting Henneberg, said, “It’s okay. Nobody wants to end up here.”

Apparently, a woman saying she doesn’t really want an abortion is business as usual in Henneberg’s abortion facility—no need for more counseling.

The woman having the abortion continued to talk, mentioning the two little boys she had at home.

Henneberg writes:

From my secluded, light-filled perch between the woman’s legs, I glanced up at Ronnie. A silent sigh passed between us. We both knew this was the best way to get a woman through these 10 minutes: get her talking about the kids she already has.

“These 10 minutes” refers to the time it takes to commit a suction aspiration abortion.

These abortion providers seem to find it easy to discuss pregnant women’s other children as they kill the babies in their wombs.

EXCERPT:

A school chaplain in the United Kingdom who was fired and blacklisted after preaching a sermon on LGBTQ issues has reached a confidential settlement with his former employer, ending a seven-year legal battle.

The Rev. Bernard Randall, an ordained Church of England minister, worked for five years as chaplain at Trent College, an independent school for K-12 students in Derbyshire, England. In 2018, Randall grew concerned when the school partnered with Educate and Celebrate, an outside group whose stated goal was to “smash heteronormativity” and embed queer theory in school culture. The group has since dissolved.

“I objected to [it] at the time it started, and tried to discuss it with the senior leadership, [but] they weren’t interested,” Randall told Fox News Digital.

The following year, a student asked Randall why pupils were required to accept LGBTQ ideology at a Christian school. Randall said that question, along with similar concerns raised by other students and staff, prompted him to deliver a sermon on freedom of belief and conscience.

Alleged terrorist Abdul Ballout, 21, rushed at police with a weapon before being shot by cops, officials said. The suspect was tracked down to an allotment garden in Spandau, West Berlin.

Authorities had previously issued a wanted notice and warned people against approaching Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, saying he may be armed and dangerous.

Polizei Berlin said last night: “At around 6pm, the suspect in yesterday’s attack in the Grosser Tiergarten was located in an allotment garden in Spandau.

“First-of-their-kind” transgender-identified paper dolls featuring removable genitalia are expected to be introduced in the fall in some classrooms for children as young as four years old, according to the University of Minnesota researchers who developed the project.

The dolls, which have gender-neutral names including “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery,” and “Parker,” include removable internal and external genitalia and more than 100 interchangeable clothing, hairstyle, and accessory pieces designed to facilitate conversations about gender and anatomy, according to the MyGender Dolls website.

The project originated at the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health after more than six years of research. It has since been spun into a commercial venture, MyGender Dolls. The university’s research reportedly included sessions in which transgender-identifying and other children, along with their parents, were paid between $20 and $60 to play with the dolls and discuss gender and anatomy. In addition, photographs presented during a 2024 conference reportedly showed prototype dolls depicting various stages of gender transition, including removable anatomy and interchangeable clothing.

When Donald Trump’s pick to run the Justice Department promised to take action against the dark forces behind the abortion pill explosion, he probably didn’t expect to start anytime soon. That all changed Thursday when Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) pulled back the curtain on a sinister underground network trying to pump mifepristone into all 50 states. Plan C, an under-the-radar organization that’s coaching people to break the law, has been a one-stop shop, helping women (and predatory men) get their hands on a drug that seriously hurts almost 11% of the moms who take it. This criminal operation, Hawley demanded, needs to stop.

Although most Americans have never heard of Plan C, the group has been around since 2015, quietly devising ways to bypass the law and, in their words, “normalize[e] the self-directed option of abortion pills by mail.” On their website, they proudly admit, “We envision a near future in which the ability to end a pregnancy is in the hands of the person who seeks it.” Notice that they say “person,” not “woman,” suggesting that they’re quite fine offering their services to men who are looking for a stealthy way to poison or coerce their significant others.

Final Thought: Mercy Versus Enabling Evil

pgnewser July 23, 2026 0

By Bill Collier, Publisher

“Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.” – Proverbs 13:24

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 6:23

“… he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.” – Tutus 3:5

“Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” – Proverbs 28:13

“Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.” – Galatians 6:1

“If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.” – Ezekiel 3:18-19

Publisher Bill Collier shared a thought about mercy which, we believe, is timely in today’s age. All around us we are beset with examples of progressive Judges allowing men and women to remain unaccountable for their crimes. We are also surrounded by people we know want our American way of life destroyed, along with us.

On one hand, “mercy” is empowering violence that is hurting innocent people, on the other hand, lack of mercy could make monsters of us all.

Bill gives a take on mercy that balances the need for forgiveness and grace with the need to hold even those we forgive accountable. We recognize that lack of accountability enables coercive actions that affect innocent people, not just the person you are seeking to give mercy to. – Editor Paul Gordon Collier

Mercy doesn’t calculate value; it recognizes that it inherently exists, that it always exists, and that it doesn’t matter what the other side or person sees as valuable. It only matters ethically that you hold the value.

Mercy is the reason we forgive others, because to not forgive is to cease to recognize their inherent value. It is the reason we provide medical care and humane treatment to our worse foes, because to not do so is to not recognize their inherent value as human beings, regardless of how they see us.

Mercy is not merely unmerited favor, although it often is that, but recognition of the inherent value of life, of human life, and of our shared humanity, even when the other side does not.

Mercy says that it matters less if the other person loves us, it only matters that we love them.

There is never a time when mercy must be set aside. When you are protecting yourself or others, or defending space that belongs to you and yours, then to engage in self-preservation is a mercy to yourself, for your life is also valued, and protecting it from harm is a mercy to yourself.

But when the fighting is over, when self-preservation has been achieved and the attacker is subdued, then they come under the care of our mercy. To do them harm after the fact is a crime against the Creation.

Mercy is not weakness.

In fact, to operate at the level of “mercy for all” is very difficult. It is not only inconvenient, costly, and dangerous at times, it presents other difficulties because to discern when to pick up the sword and when to heal is not a perfect art. When you get it wrong you can either jeopardize yourself or go over the line and jeopardize your own moral code.

Mercy can sometimes cause you to be vulnerable to being exploited, betrayed, and even physically harmed. Mercy isn’t for cowards. However, it is necessary to be wise when applying “mercy.” Where you certainly know the risk or intentions of another to harm you then mercy for yourself or those you are protecting means not showing mercy to the aggressor.

I have seen merciful people seemingly allow someone to take advantage of them. Asked why and the answer is something like, “it’s mercy providing them with another opportunity, another leg up, so they can learn.”

Often people who “use” others are themselves the last chain of a long chain of people who have
“learned” to put themselves first always or they will suffer. If you are surrounded by people that try to exploit you, and then conclude that if you can’t beat them, you can become a better exploiter than them, exploitation becomes all you know.

Sometimes someone showing grace and modeling mercy reaches the unmerciful, sometimes it doesn’t, but the merciful TRY because they recognize the inherent value even in these chronic “users.”

There are the merciful and the merciless. Most of us spend some time in both camps, even some of the more merciful can be merciless at times, at least under provocation. I can attest that I have in the past sometimes been quite merciless, and yet I cannot say even now that I am always merciful, though I am far more so now than, say, when I was 20.

I do not forgive or let an offense pass or overlook a fault because “but for the grace of God there I would be as well,” although it’s true. What drives me is mercy.

It’s the reason some oppose the death penalty, which I do not oppose because I believe a judicial punishment commensurate with the crime is a mercy to society and to the victims, guaranteeing that this person will not harm another.

The thing about mercy, as you can see, is that people won’t always agree where the line is between mercy for others, mercy for yourself and your people, and mercy for society.

For some, keeping a killer in prison for life protects society but still recognizes that killer’s inherent humanity, even if the killer doesn’t. For others, the death penalty is necessary because it shows mercy to society and recognizes that when the merciless take a life the only sure protection against further acts, and the only action that recognizes and defends the humanity of their victim, is capital punishment.

I believe that even if two people take different sides on this, IF mercy is what drives them, then God will show them grace even if they are wrong.

But mercy is still what I said at the start: it is the recognition of the inherent worth and humanity of every single person without question. It is not the absence of punishment, but outside of necessary punishment, it is the absence of malice and of harm.

Let us pray our leaders, and ourselves, can balance the mercy we should have for the violator with the mercy we should have for the violated.

For the better part of two decades, confused children across the Anglosphere deceived into believing that they might be in the wrong bodies have been widely subjected to medications that adversely affect bone density, cognitive performance, emotional stability, and/or future fertility. This horrific experiment, briefly provided a patina of legitimacy by so-called experts and politicians, has not only been ruinous but is based on junk science.

To the chagrin of the profitable and predatory child sex-rejection industry, the Trump administration, like the British government, has taken action nationwide against the “chemical and surgical mutilation of children.” However, some blue states appear keen to continue waging war on America’s youth.

EXCERPT:

Pope Leo XIV is set to present a sustainability medal at Villanova University, his alma mater, which has hosted performances of The Vagina Monologues, promoted LGBT events, and implemented gender-inclusive policies. The Pope has approved another bishop under the Vatican’s deal with China, a policy critics say has accelerated the persecution of the underground Church. The pattern is clear: the Vatican is rewarding institutions that promote gender ideology and regimes that suppress the faith.

We take a look at the growing divide: bishops who defend the Traditional Latin Mass face restrictions, while universities that promote “Queer Jesus” theology receive papal recognition. Cardinals Sarah and Burke have called for broader access to the Latin Mass, but their voices are increasingly marginalized. The faithful are watching. The hierarchy is silent. And the Pope is sending mixed signals that leave everyone confused.

This is not a series of isolated incidents, it is a direction. A direction away from tradition, away from clarity, and away from the Catholic faith as it has always been understood. The question is whether anyone in Rome will notice before it is too late.

U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Jonker has blocked a hostile Michigan law that would have compelled pro-life organizations to hire staff who support abortion and to provide abortion coverage in their employee health insurance plans.

The opinion, issued July 10 in the case Right to Life of Michigan v. Nessel, also denied the state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Right to Life of Michigan and the Pregnancy Resource Center Grand Rapids. The court’s preliminary injunction grants immediate legal protection to these faith-based ministries, allowing them to maintain pro-life hiring standards and operational integrity as the constitutional challenge moves forward.

This ruling is an answer to prayer, but it should also serve as a wake-up call. It reveals a pattern where the state leverages unrelated laws, in this case employment law, to control Christian ministries and undermine religious liberty.
