Many disputes arose a few years ago when the then-liberal U.S. Supreme Court created, in a decision condemned as unrelated to the Constitution, same-sex "marriage" for the entire nation. One
of the more vicious was a series of lawsuits against a Kentucky county clerk who declined to issue ANY marriage licenses for a time because of the conflict the court decision created with her own constitutionally protected religious rights. An activist federal judge, David Bunning, took up the LGBT agenda and put Kim Davis in jail for a time. And two same-sex duos sued her for damages.

GOP committee votes to approve Trump platform’s softened stances on life, marriage

With little-to-no deliberation, the Republican National Convention’s Platform Committee tentatively adopted a dramatically-shortened Republican Party platform that drops the GOP’s longstanding support for federal preborn protections as well as the party’s opposition to homosexual “marriage,” along with other changes to align the party’s values and priorities with presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.
WISN reports that the committee voted 84-14 to approve the platform in a closed-door session, though it still awaits final approval at the convention next week. “If you look at it, it has Donald Trump written all over it,” boasted Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump, the...

The abortion debate in America has been a defining issue for decades, drawing a clearly defined line between those who value life and those who, quite frankly, promote death. From
the infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, which opened the floodgates to the slaughter of the unborn, to the 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned it, conservatives have long held the moral high ground. We have rightfully labeled the Democrat party as the “party of death”—it is their policies that have facilitated the killing of millions of innocent lives. Yet, with the latest compromises from the Republican National Committee (RNC),...

Oh, and since Biden could have inadvertently DESTROYED the Morning Joe marriage perhaps he might feel obligated to help bring them back together by calling on the advice of the smartest person he knows. Namely
Hunter Biden who could give Mika and Morning Joe emergency marriage counseling. Wouldn't everybody appreciate Hunter Biden providing such a service due to his vast knowledge of broken marriages and relationships? If there is indeed a CRACK in the Morning Joe Marriage, that is something Hunter Biden would definitely be interested in smoking out.age.html">VIDEO

The Supreme Court is in the midst of issuing a flurry of rulings as they finish up the court's current session. One
of them that was handed down yesterday is raising eyebrows for unusual reasons. In the case of Department of State v. Munoz, Sandra Munoz was challenging the denial of her husband's ability to enter the United States from El Salvador to come live with her. Immigration officials at the U.S. Consulate in El Salvador had refused entry to Luis Asencio-Cordero because of tattoos he had which they believed indicated that he was a member of one of El...

A recent Pew Research Center poll highlighted the stark difference of opinion former President Donald Trump’s supporters and and those of President Joe Biden have on issues related to marriage and family.The poll, released June 6, asked questions on topics such as whether “society is better off if people make marriage and
having children a priority” and the comfort level respondents had “with women not taking their husbands’ last names when they get married.”Nearly 60 percent of Trump supporters — and 54 percent of his female supporters — said that society is better off when it prioritizes marriage and family,...

A new survey has revealed that widening cultural polarization between Republican and Democratic voters is becoming increasingly evident as the November election approaches. On
key hot-button issues regarding marriage and family, abortion, gun ownership, race, immigration, and biological sex, Biden and Trump supporters are displaying widely divergent worldviews. The poll results, released last week by the Pew Research Center, surveyed over 8,000 adults (including over 7,000 registered voters) in early April. The survey “examines the political values of the Biden and Trump coalitions that underlie policy attitudes in many of these areas,” wrote Pew. For electoral analysts like Family Research...

An Indonesian groom discovered his new wife is actually a man who tricked him into marrying in a wild scam for money. The
26-year-old husband identified in local news reports only as AK wed his girlfriend of more than a year in April only to find out that his bride was really a groom less than two weeks after their wedding day, the South China Morning Post reported. AK met his future wife, reportedly named as Adinda Kanza, through Instagram last year and the pair agreed to meet in person to pursue their relationship further, according to the outlet.

We should all celebrate strides in healthcareIn the aftermath of a major policy change that moves a system toward inclusion, it's important to show that the sky doesn't fall. For
example, as a combat veteran in the U.S. Navy who deployed to Afghanistan, among other places, I have seen firsthand how expanding open service to LGBTQ+ people has significantly strengthened our military and received vocal, sustained support from a bipartisan array of leaders.

A group of African delegates to the United Methodist Church General Conference have denounced the recent votes to allow for same-sex marriage and noncelibate LGBT clergy. This
week, delegates at the UMC General Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, passed a series of measures removing from the Book of Discipline rules preventing the officiating of same-sex weddings and the funding of LGBT advocacy groups.

a guy who proposed to his girlfriend – ahhh – who then shared what his proposal taught him about B2B sales. Aarrrgh! Now there’s always the distinct possibility that this is deep cover – surely it is! – but it’s a very funny read either way (with wildly varying amounts of facepalm).

A court case that already has been in the system for years is being pushed up to the level of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and it is expected ultimately to be before the Supreme Court, where it could be a vehicle to overturn that institution's creation of same-sex marriage
for the nation. That 2015 ruling, the Obergefell case, has been described by no less than the chief justice of the high court as unrelated to the U.S. Constitution, and exploded limits on same-sex marriage in dozens of states. ... The case at hand is the attack on...

Stop Blaming Men For The Marriage Crisis

Charlie Kirk upset a lot of women last week. In
a discussion on unmarried women preferring Democrats, he said that ladies in their 30s are past their prime and struggle to find a husband. This is obviously true, but impolite to say. Kirk’s statement naturally inspired outrage among liberals, as well as among conservatives. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. Kirk’s opinion runs counter to the prevailing conservative narrative about the decline of marriage. Conservatives say it’s all men’s fault and we need to do more to shame males into stepping up. But this male-focused answer isn’t correct. It’s true that men...

Biden allies dust off Bush's 2004 playbook, subbing abortion for gay marriage on the ballot

WASHINGTON — Twenty years after George W. Bush won re-election with the help of ballot initiatives that rallied voters around a popular cultural issue, Democrats are dusting off his playbook and attempting a similar strategy to keep Donald Trump out of office. In
2004, Bush’s team seized on popular opposition to same-sex marriage, with strategist Karl Rove encouraging allies to put initiatives to ban it on ballots in key swing states, hoping to stir up voters and enable the president to ride the measures’ coattails to re-election. It worked. Now, President Joe Biden’s allies are seizing on fury over the...
