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. Now, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the freedom to marry for same-sex couples in parts of our country -- with May 17, 2004 markingopens in...

Protestia ^ | May 11, 2024 | staff
In a truly bewildering and blisteringly backward move, the powers that be in the Presbyterian Church of America, a conservative denomination that is typically the antithesis of the satanic PCUSA, have announced that David French will be a featured panelist at the 2024 General Assembly, speaking on “How to Be Supportive of Your Pastor and Church Leaders in a Polarized Political Year.” They could have selected few worse people, given French’s partisan pedigree and progressive politics. French, who we like to unaffectionately call ‘The State’s Fool”, is a self-proclaimed “conservative” Christian commentator who can always be counted on to give...

A Catholic school in North Carolina was within its legal rights to dismiss a substitute teacher because he was in a same-sex marriage, a federal appeals court ruled.A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday that Charlotte Catholic High School could fire Lonnie Billard for marrying a man.Circuit Judge Pamela Harris, an Obama appointee, authored the majority opinion, concluding that the Catholic school was protected by the "ministerial exception," noting that Billard's employment involved an inherently religious element."We conclude that the school entrusted Billard with 'vital religious duties,' making him a 'messenger' of its...

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. On Thursday, the churchwide legislative gathering voted 523 to 161 to remove from the Book of Discipline the statement that the "practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching," which had been originally added to the rule...

Priest Celebrates Lesbian [Pseudo] Marriage - One "Bride" Is Protestant PreacherRev.

Williams confirmed that the video is real (OsvNews.com, 1 May).One of the women, Kelli Beard, is a United Methodist minister. She will become an associate pastor at an Arizona church starting in July. The other, Myah Knight, is a mental health therapist who runs a 'religious trauma support group'.Beard wore an off-the-shoulder champagne-coloured sequined dress, Knight...

The only time we go on LinkedIn is to unsubscribe from getting emails about LinkedIn but if it’s full of this sort of content then we might be missing a trick. It’s 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). Here’s how it first went viral... And here are just a few of the many responses...

The petition will now be sent to the annual conferences for possible ratification.The amendment will need to gain at least two-thirds support from the annual conference clergy and lay voters to be added to the UMC constitution, reports UM News.>At present, the UMC Book of Discipline, the...

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...

From a Golden Wedding to a Golden Divorce, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist have decided to end their marriage only three months after tying the knot. The former couple, who met on the very successful first season of The Golden Bachelor, announced the shocking news on this morning’s Good Morning America. “We have received so much love and support from so many people who watched The Golden Bachelor, and I don’t think we can tell you how many people told us that it gave them so much hope,” Nist began. “We want none of that to change for anybody.” Turner...

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...

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...
 

Thailand lawmakers overwhelmingly pass bill to legalize homosexual ‘marriage’

On Wednesday, Thailand’s House of Representatives voted 400-10 in favor of same-sex “marriage.” Only 10 lawmakers voted against the bill. Two abstained and three didn’t vote. The country’s Senate “rarely rejects any legislation that passes the lower house,” the Associated Press noted. Once it passes the Senate, it then must be approved by the majority-Buddhist country’s king. In addition to redefining marriage, the bill “extends all rights and protections contained in the Civil and Commercial Code to LGBTI+ persons,” the pro-LGBT group “Fortify Rights” said in a press release. The group’s lobbying to add the “gender-neutral language of ‘parent’ addition...
