The chaos, violence, pain, and death will not abate until enough Americans finally admit that what we are currently witnessing is a battle between good and evil.It is hard for decent, tolerant folks, open-minded folks to come to this realization. It is also distressing to do so.In this ever more secular world, few folks really welcome this reality. It seems daunting, and, well, Biblical. And it is. But we reached this point expressly because we have for too long now ignored reality, acted as if there were no such thing.Turns out, some things are immutable. Everything doesn’t equivalate. Some things...

Representative Rashida Tlaib unleashed a profanity-laced attack on the National Day of Prayer. The President rightly declared a National Day of Prayer yesterday in the face of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Yet Rep. Tlaib – who just promoted erasing Israel from the map and replacing it with “Palestine” – shockingly responded to a national call to prayer over the Coronavirus by retweeting “[Expletive] a National Day of Prayer.” This isn’t just insensitive, it’s a shocking perversion damaging the very credibility of our government institutions in a time of national crisis. At the ACLJ, we’re not just encouraging prayer, we’re defending...
