After Antifa Attacks Peaceful Christian Protestors, Seattle Mayor Blames Christians

pgnewser May 28, 2025 0

For daring to speak out against the left’s assumptions that children should be sex-talked by teachers and encouraged to explore their diverse sexual desires and gender identities, a group of self-identified Christians were attacked by Antifa insurrectionist brownshirts of the Democratic Party (as this writer sees it).

The Christians were rallying in Seattle, WA as part of a nationwide tour called the #DontMessWithOurKids movement. They were met with violence by Socialist groups, who also fought the police, leading to arrests that did not lead to prosecutions.

The Mayor of Seattle responded by attacking the Christians, assuming the only proper public opinion on homosexuality and transgenderism is one of complete embrace and favor. He declared “Today’s far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood…”

“The audacity to blame Christians for the violence.”

Newsweek: Mayday USA, a conservative Christian group, brought its #DontMessWithOurKids rally to Seattle, the fourth of five stops on a national tour, on Saturday. Organizers say the #DontMessWithOurKids movement “refuses to stand idly by while the children of our nation are indoctrinated by liberal, political, and sexual agenda that seeks to destroy their God-given identities.” A counterprotest—urging people to “Protest Fascist ‘Family Values’”—was arranged in response, endorsed by the Freedom Socialist Party, Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity, Puget Sound Mobilization for Reproductive Justice and Radical Women. Organizers called on people to “send a message with a loud picket line, signs and banners: Bigotry is not welcome here!” (Newsweek).

Macron Turns to Free Masons to Help “Justify” Post-Birth Abortions, Euthanasia

pgnewser May 28, 2025 0

In the name of the Masonic Temple, French President Emmanuel Macron has sought to justify the country’s recent passage of what are de facto Post-Birth Abortion laws, or euthanasia laws. The euphemistic term is “assisted dying” laws.

Macron declared, “Freemasons are taking up this fundamental debate regarding the end of life. Be proud of it. That Freemasons should have this ambition to make man the measure of the world, the free actor of his own life, from birth to death, should come as no surprise, I welcome it. The Republic is more than at home in Freemasonry, it is in its heart and soul. It is at the forefront of the crucial battle we must fight if we want to mold the times for the good of humanity.”

Macron praised the Lodge’s framing of end of life issues not as “good on one side and evil on the other,” but as “simply a choice to be made in concrete situations.”

Jordan and Norway urged an immediate, lasting ceasefire in Gaza and unrestricted humanitarian access, while reaffirming support for a two-state solution as the basis for lasting regional peace.

Following talks in Amman on Monday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said Norway’s recognition of Palestine underscored its commitment to international law and justice, Xinhua news agency reported.

The minister stressed that peace and stability require the two-state solution, namely a sovereign Palestinian state along the 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Safadi praised Norway’s role as chair of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, which coordinates donor support for Palestinians, and commended its efforts to ease Gaza’s humanitarian crisis and revive peace talks.

He also condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli extremist ministers, warning of escalating tensions.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide called the situation in Gaza “catastrophic” and pressed for an end to the 19-month conflict. Eide warned that conflicts in Gaza would continue to recur unless the underlying issue — the lack of a Palestinian state — is addressed.

Conservative and pro-life groups are again asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate five aborted babies found near a Washington, D.C. clinic in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is back in office.

Nine organizations sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro sounding the alarm about pro-life activists’ discovery of the bodies in containers from the Washington Surgi-Clinic. Some of the babies discovered were so large that they brought suspicion of illegal partial-birth or post-birth abortions, and the Biden administration only prosecuted those who protested at the clinic in 2020.

“In 2022, pro-life activists in Washington, D.C., discovered possible violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act,” reads the letter from Advancing American Freedom, Susan B.

Late-Life Abortion, Euthanasia, Now Legal in Delaware

pgnewser May 23, 2025 0

Last month the Delaware legislature passed a bill legalizing euthanasia, or physician-assisted suicide. This month, the Governor of Delaware, Democrat Matt Meyer, signed the late-life abortion bill into law. He claimed, “This signing today is about relieving suffering and giving families the comfort of knowing that their loved one was able to pass on their own terms without unnecessary pain and surrounded by the people they love the most.”

Live Action’s Bridget Sielicki offered this caveat referring to patience in “palliative care,” specifically paralytics, “because a paralytic is involved, a person can look peaceful, while they actually drown to death in their own bodily secretions. Experimental assisted suicide drugs have led to the ‘burning of patients’ mouths and throats, causing some to scream in pain.’ Furthermore, a study in the medical journal Anaesthesia found that a third of patients took up to 30 hours to die after ingesting assisted-suicide drugs, while four percent took seven days to die.”

Excerpt:

Delaware Democrat Gov. Matt Meyer signed HB 140 into law Tuesday, legalizing physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients, framing it as a compassionate decision while pro-lifers warn it devalues human life.

Starting in January at the latest, the bill will permit patients diagnosed as having less than six months to live “to request and self-administer medication to end the individual’s life” as long as two medical professionals (meaning advanced practice registered nurses as well as doctors) sign off on it.

“This signing today is about relieving suffering and giving families the comfort of knowing that their loved one was able to pass on their own terms without unnecessary pain and surrounded by the people they love the most,” Meyer said. “For many of you — many more than me — this has been a long journey. For nearly a decade, this idea has been debated and delayed but always defended by those of you who believed deeply that it was the right thing to do, and it’s because of you that we’re here today and because of that courage I will be signing that bill.”

Bishop William Koenig of the Diocese of Wilmington has a different view: “Our Catholic Faith teaches us that all life is sacred, from the moment of conception to natural death. This means that there is a great distinction between, on the one hand, death that comes naturally and, on the other hand, performing actions to bring on death. We are never required to undergo medical treatments that are ‘extraordinary’ (i.e., treatments that are burdensome, costly, or offer little hope of benefit). Not undergoing such treatments, however, is much different from having a physician providing the means for a patient to end one’s life.”

IVF Suicide Bomber is Fruit of the Abortion Culture He was willing to kill for

pgnewser May 23, 2025 0

On May 17, 2025, a suicide bomber named Edward Bartkus, 25, blew up an In vitro Fertilization Clinic (IVF Clinic) as a protest against what he called the clinic’s “pro-life ideology.” Bartkus leaves behind a legacy of writing promoting anti-natalism, an ideology that claims life cannot consent to come into being so bringing in new life is morally evil. Fortunately, the only person he killed was himself.

The ideology is the fruit of abortion culture itself, which debases human life by allowing, even forcing, human beings to express ideas about other human beings that would normally seem evil to all but a few of the most psychotic among us. One assumption is that human beings are not humans until they are “useful” or “viable.” Another assumption is the unborn can be terminated if they are found to have a “birth defect” like Down Syndrome.

Excerpt:

A car bomb exploded in the parking lot behind the American Reproductive Centers facility in Palm Springs, California, last week. One person was killed and four people were injured. The deceased, found next to the car, has been identified as Guy Edward Bartkus, the alleged perpetrator. The FBI quickly deemed it an “intentional act of terrorism.”

According to the clinic, the building itself sustained significant damage, but “all embryos and reproductive material remain fully secured and undamaged.” The fact that no one but the perpetrator lost their life is remarkable. The act of violence is disturbing, and the apparent motivations behind it are truly chilling.

The suspect is known to have held nihilistic, antinatalist, and pro-mortalist views. Bartkus detailed his reasons for the attack: “I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic. Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.”

Bartkus was apparently a suicidal maniac, bent on causing as much destruction as possible while killing others along the way. The main reason for his rage? Merely existing in the first place.

President Trump’s Department of Justice has filed a federal lawsuit against Troy, Idaho’s far-left leadership, accusing them of deliberately targeting a Christian congregation simply for holding worship services.

The lawsuit, United States v. City of Troy, delivers a blistering rebuke of local officials who weaponized zoning laws to shut down Christ Church, a growing evangelical congregation based in nearby Moscow, Idaho.

Trump’s DOJ alleges that city leaders engaged in blatant discrimination, suppressing the church’s right to assemble while letting secular groups operate freely in the exact same zone.

Christ Church, unable to accommodate its growing congregation in Moscow, looked to expand into Troy.

They attempted to rent a vacant downtown bank building for Sunday services—a common-sense solution, considering it had sat empty for over a year and offered plenty of street parking.

President Trump’s Education Department has just rescinded an onerous fine unjustly imposed by the Biden administration on a Christian university.

On May 16, Grand Canyon University announced, “The U.S. Department of Education (ED) has rescinded a $37.7 million fine, with prejudice, that was proposed against Grand Canyon University, clearing the university of any wrongdoing.” Many suspected the university was being targeted by the Biden administration not because of any major wrongdoing but because of its Christian affiliation, and that appears to have been a fair assessment.

The case dismissal from ED stated that “there are no findings against GCU, or any of its employees, officers, agents, or contractors, and no fine is imposed.” Despite Biden administration allegations, the Trump ED found that GCU did not violate any Title IV requirements, rejecting the assertion that GCU “substantially misrepresented” the prices of its doctoral programs.

GCU President Brian Mueller said, “The facts clearly support our contention that we were wrongly accused of misleading our Doctoral students and we appreciate the recognition that those accusations were without merit.”

The state of California has agreed to allow families to use public special education funds for tuition at religious schools, following a legal settlement reached after years of litigation.

The decision marks a significant policy change and aligns the state’s regulations with recent federal court rulings affirming religious rights under the First Amendment.

The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed by Orthodox Jewish families who challenged the state’s long-standing rule that barred the use of publicly funded special education services at religious institutions. Plaintiffs argued that the policy, which required private schools receiving such funding to be nonsectarian, unfairly excluded religious families and violated their constitutional rights.

In the case of Loffman v. California Department of Education, a group of Jewish parents and religious schools challenged the exclusion, arguing that it violated constitutional protections against religious discrimination.

Washington State Law Protects Child Grooming Teachers from Parental Justice

pgnewser May 23, 2025 0

Washington State has just passed a bill that essentially makes it illegal for a parent to be against their child pursuing an LGBTQ+ lifestyle. The law will make it legal for teachers to sexually groom children, prodding them to identify preferably as LGBTQ+, without parental consent.

As a matter of fact, it makes it illegal for teachers to share this information with the parents, making the teachers the new de facto child grooming “parents,” making Washington State public schools heavenly abodes for the child predator adults being trained and hired by colleges and universities to become “teachers” in a systemic pedophilic world.

Child grooming advocate and anti-Americanist governor Bob Ferguson (D) claimed the unconstitutional bill putting sex over parental rights will “ensure a safe learning environment where every student has a chance to thrive.”  The bill’s sponsor, State Representative Monica Jurado Stonier (D), makes it clear she ALSO believes, like the child predator governor, that sexual expression in school is essential for children to be their “full selves,” claiming “The young people in our schools deserve a place where they can be seen and acknowledged in their full selves and experience a full curriculum.”

In the progressive pursuit to slash parental rights from law-abiding citizens, the State of Washington has taken the “guilty until proven innocent” approach. Subsequently, they have decided to presume all parents are abusers and do not have their children’s interests at heart.

This is evident through newly signed legislation by Gov. Bob Ferguson. He claims the legislation, House Bill 1296, is intended “to ensure a safe learning environment where every student has the chance to thrive,” according to KOMO News. However, that could not be further from the truth.

Proponents of the bill say it guarantees students’ rights to safety and privacy, allowing them to share sensitive information, such as gender identity or sexual orientation, without fear of being “outed” to their families.

“The young people in our schools deserve a place where they can be seen and acknowledged in their full selves and experience a full curriculum,” the bill’s sponsor, State Representative Monica Jurado Stonier of Vancouver, said.

Just read that statement again, it’s giving groomer vibes, and these people could not be more reprehensible if they tried. Only total creeps would want kids to keep secrets from their parents, as there has yet to be one person in the history of people where that was not the case. And then using the term “outed” is deeply deranged, especially when we are talking about “gender identity or sexual orientation.”

The fact that they assume they have a right to know a child’s “sexual orientation” is a scandal in itself, as this is what predators tend to be concerned about.

The parents should have that knowledge so they can provide those resources for their children,” Parent BrieAnne Gray said. “It should never be the government’s choice, the government’s decision.

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON  — The Supreme Court dealt an unexpected blow Thursday to the conservative drive for religious charter schools, with the justices splitting 4-4 and unable to rule in a case from Oklahoma that had the effect of blocking a proposed new Catholic charter school.

If upheld, it would have been the nation’s first tax-funded, church-run charter school. In recent years, charter schools have proven popular with parents both in major cities and in rural areas, and their numbers would surely have grown if churches or religious groups were free to operate these schools.

The Supreme Court has six conservatives, all of whom were raised as Catholics. And Chief Justice John G. Roberts has written opinions ruling it was unconstitutional discrimination to exclude religious schools from a state’s program of vouchers or tuition subsides for children attending private schools.

Religious-liberty advocates appealed to the Supreme Court last year arguing that it was also unconstitutional to exclude churches from sponsoring a state-funded charter school.

House-Passed Budget Bill Defunds Planned Parenthood– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

House Republicans delivered on their promise to defund Big Abortion on Thursday by passing the budget reconciliation bill that has consumed Washington’s attention for the past three months.

In the bill, the House GOP removed Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the country. The effort had been supported by dozens of pro-life legislators from around the country.

The move is a monumental win for pro-lifers because Planned Parenthood receives more than one-third of its overall funding from the U.S. government through grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. That translates to about $2 million per day, which taxpayers are on the hook for. Furthermore, taxpayer funding for the organization has been on an upward trajectory for about the past dozen years, having increased by 50% since 2013.

But the House reconciliation bill halts that trend by ending the flow of Medicaid dollars to Planned Parenthood, except in abortion cases for rape or incest. Planned Parenthood is also a major provider of hormones for so-called transgender transitions in the country, which means defunding it is also combating the organization’s efforts in that regard as well.

Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, a Democrat, signed House Bill 140 into law on Tuesday.

The new law, deceptively named “The Ron Silverio/Heather Block End of Life Options Law,” opens the floodgates for state-sanctioned euthanasia by allowing terminally ill adults to request and self-administer life-ending medication — with full government and medical backing.

This radical measure was championed by far-left Democrats Rep. Paul Baumbach, Rep. David Bentz, Rep. Eric Morrison, and Sen. Bryan Townsend.

Under the new law, once a mentally competent individual is diagnosed with a terminal illness and deemed to have six months or less to live, doctors and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are empowered to prescribe death-inducing drugs.

According to Delaware Public, the end-of-life medication may only be prescribed to a terminally ill patient after they make two verbal requests and one written request themselves — a legal guardian or healthcare surrogate is not permitted to make the request on their behalf.

The U.S. Army is moving toward its aim of separating transgender soldiers from the service with its new guidance that deems tranny soldiers as “undeployable” and therefore, useless to the service.

The Army is ramping up its efforts to dump soldiers with gender dysphoria because it has been determined that the condition is medically incompatible with military service. Pursuant to that, the Pentagon has released a series of memos directing the services to identify and remove them — whether voluntarily on not.

The new directives are in compliance with Commander In Chief Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order requiring the separation of tranny soldiers.

Per Gateway Pundit:

On February 26, 2025, the Department of Defense issued a memorandum titled “Additional Guidance on Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness,” formally disqualifying individuals with a current diagnosis, history, or symptoms of gender dysphoria from military service. The policy states that such conditions are incompatible with readiness, cohesion, lethality, and integrity, and affirms that all personnel must meet standards without special accommodations.

Under Executive Order 14168, the Department of Defense defines sex as an immutable biological classification, male or female, and requires all service members to serve in accordance with their sex. This designation now governs compliance with military standards, including physical fitness, grooming, uniforms, and access to bathrooms, showers, and berthing.

The government has never had an issue with any gathering held anywhere in town or on Pastor Kaloogian’s private property — until a Weare zoning enforcement official named Tony Sawyer saw a promotional flyer for Grace New England Church’s Saturday worship event. Sawyer then went, uninvited, to Pastor Kaloogian’s house and informed him that he would have to complete a site plan application and a conditional-use permit in order to continue holding religious assemblies on his private property.

The town has since delayed permit applications, subjected the pastor to repeated inspections of his home, and threatened to fine him.

Excerpt:

As the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether parents have the right to opt their children out of reading books that promote gender ideology, a federal district court told a California school district that it cannot force children to read such books without parental notice and the opportunity to opt out.

The case centers on La Costa Heights Elementary School, located in the Encinitas School District near San Diego. The school runs a mandatory “buddy program” in which 5th grade students mentor kindergarteners.

Traditionally, this program involved art projects, gardening, and reading sessions — with books selected by the students themselves. Each week, parents received a newsletter detailing which book was being read in class.

The process changed when teachers selected My Shadow is Pink, a book promoting gender ideology. That week, no notice was sent to parents.

The book tells the story of a boy who enjoys wearing dresses and playing with toys typically associated with girls. Because he doesn’t “fit in,” his shadow is pink instead of blue. The central conflict revolves around his father’s initial discomfort and eventual embrace of his son’s pink shadow as not a phase but as a reflection of his “inner-most self.” By the end, the father joins his son and wears a dress.

A Christian youth camp in Colorado has filed a federal lawsuit against state officials, alleging that newly imposed gender identity policies violate its constitutional rights to religious freedom and free speech.

Camp IdRaHaJe, a ministry operating in Bailey, Colorado, since the 1940s, serves more than 2,500 children each summer through Christian-based programs and outdoor activities. The camp’s name is derived from the phrase, “I’d Rather Have Jesus.” Now, it finds itself at the center of a legal battle over the state’s licensing requirements for residential youth camps.

The lawsuit, Camp IdRaHaJe Association v. Roy, was filed on May 10 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. Named defendants include Lisa Roy, executive director of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, and Carin Rosas, director of the Office of Early Childhood Licensing and Administration.

At issue is a Colorado regulation requiring licensed youth camps to allow campers to access bathrooms, showers, and sleeping quarters based on gender identity rather than biological sex. Camp IdRaHaJe argues that complying with the policy would force it to violate its sincerely held religious beliefs about human sexuality and gender.
