Question: Whatever happened to some on the right who were so excited in 2022 to see one or two Muslim voices objecting to woke sex? In terms of organizational putting Mamdani on the map , it was Islam advocacy lobby: CAIR. Islam Mamdani appeared with trans flag. Zohran Mamdani pledges continued advocacy for transgender rights as Mayor of New York. November 7, 2025 — Zohran Mamdani, elected Mayor of New York City, secured a significant majority of the LGBTQ+ vote and has vowed to champion the rights of trans people.mygwork

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand hallmarked by derogatory comments. “I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.” Greene said she realized that she has participated in or supported heated rhetoric that has resulted in threats toward others, a point of reflection for her. “I’m only responsible for myself and my own words...

If we’re being honest, it could just be that immigration is a lucrative issue for the bishops, while defending the unborn is not.America’s Catholic bishops are once again focusing their energies on immigration concerns, subtly undermining the Catholic Church’s teachings on the subject, while highlighting their hypocrisy on the defense of the unborn.The bishops might have a little more moral credibility on the issue had they authored a similar letter lamenting the never-heard cries of children boiled alive by saline solutions.Last week, 216 members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted in favor of publishing a “special message”...

What did Jesus really know about the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim giants? Does the Bible hint at “extraterrestrials” cohabiting with mankind in a forgotten golden age? Glenn Beck sits down with ‪@TimothyAlberino‬ for a mind-blowing conversation that connects the dots from Genesis 6 to the coming post-human apocalypse. As futurists like Yuval Harari openly declare the end of humanity, gene editing, artificial wombs, IVF, and transhumanism are rapidly remaking man in a new image. Alberino issues a chilling wake-up call to Christians: “There’s only one qualification for redemption at the cross of Christ — you must be human.”...

They describe the system, called Circulatronics, as more of a treatment platform than a one-off brain chip. Working with researchers from Wellesley College and Harvard University, the MIT team recently released a paper on the new technology, which they describe as an autonomous bioelectronic implant.As New Atlas points out, the Circulatronics platform starts with an injectable swarm of sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices, or “SWEDs,” which can travel into inflamed regions of the patient’s brain after being injected into the bloodstream. They do so by fusing with living immune cells, called monocytes, forming a sort of cellular cyborg.After they’ve been...

Says Pentagon ready to act in Nigeria, elsewhere if ordered by president to end persecutionDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday that the United States must defend persecuted Christians in Nigeria and other parts of the world facing harsh treatment for their beliefs. “President Trump has made clear that the United States will always defend the right of Christians to freely worship here at home and around the world,” Mr. Hegseth told The Washington Times. “As a Christian, this is also very important to me and my family.” Mr. Hegseth, a conservative Christian, said in a statement that the Defense Department,...

I wonder what Bishop Marcel Lefebvre would make of Cardinal Raymond Burke celebrating the pre–Vatican II “Latin Mass” in St. Peter’s Basilica on October 25. Lefebvre, of course, was a seminal figure in traditionalist Catholicism, who early on distanced himself from the reforms of Vatican II and in 1970 founded the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) to train traditionalist seminarians. The SSPX was canonically suppressed by the Holy See in 1975, but Lefebvre termed the action illegal and decided to ignore it. Then, in 1988, Pope John Paul II declared that Lefebvre was automatically excommunicated for consecrating four bishops...

The Ten Commandments have long been seen as the backbone of societal laws for thousands of years, but did you know that there were other commandments that didn't make the list? The Babylon Bee consulted with dozens of scholars to uncover the following list of commandments that ended up on the cutting room floor: Remember the sabbath day by wearing your favorite NFL team's jersey to church: Unless it's the Cowboys, for that is sin. Thou shalt install the toilet paper roll with the end of the paper coming out from under, not over, for over is a perversion...

A man identified as Jihad Dphrepaulezz has been charged with assault and robbery after allegedly attacking a Turning Point USA attendee during a protest at the University of California-Berkeley. Left-wing protesters disrupted Turning Point USA’s Berkeley event Monday, leading to violent clashes and arrests just two months after the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk. Authorities said Dphrepaulezz, 25, confronted a supporter at Monday’s event and forcibly removed a gold chain from his neck, prompting a fight that left both men bloodied, the New York Post reported. Dphrepaulezz is reportedly an employee of the California Department of Public Health. It was...

Being neither a religion nor an ideology, the body of opinion termed conservatism possesses no Holy Writ and no Das Kapital to provide dogmata. So far as it is possible to determine what conservatives believe, the first principles of the conservative persuasion are derived from what leading conservative writers and public men have professed during the past two centuries. After some introductory remarks on this general theme, I will proceed to list ten such conservative principles. Perhaps it would be well, most of the time, to use this word “conservative” as an adjective chiefly. For there exists no Model Conservative,...

The Supreme Court on Monday declined an opportunity to overturn its landmark precedent recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, tossing aside an appeal that had roiled LGBTQ advocates who feared the conservative court might be ready to revisit the decade-old decision. Instead, the court denied an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who now faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and legal fees for refusing to issue marriage licenses after the court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges allowed same-sex couples to marry. The court did not explain its reasoning to deny the appeal, which...

New York’s new mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has announced plans for a state-run luxury rehabilitation compound for homeless and addicted veterans — turning the relics of capitalist greed into centers of recovery, work, and collective renewal. The project, known as the Veterans’ Rebirth Compound, would combine housing, physical training, and political education to help veterans rebuild their lives through discipline, purpose, and solidarity. Empty hotels and abandoned corporate properties are being considered for conversion.

Speaking in English, and reaching a US audience directly, he reiterated the Catholic belief that every Christian will ultimately be judged on how they welcomed "the foreigner". In some of his strongest criticism to date of President Donald Trump's administration, the first ever US-born pope also warned that the US bombing of Venezuelan ships, suspected of carrying drugs, risked increasing tensions in the region.

It’s called the “gender gap” (should be “sex gap,” really) in voting, and, boy, did it ever manifest itself Tuesday night. In fact, November 4 was a great day for the GOP. That is, in an alternate universe in which only men vote. Let’s go down the list. In Virginia there were three major races, and men broke Republican in all of them. They went for Winsome Earle-Sears for governor (all figures represent percentages), 53-47; John Reid for lieutenant governor, 55-44; and Jason Miyares for attorney general, 57-42. Meanwhile, in the upside-down, women broke Democrat in all three races by...

A higher power will hand down judgment for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, his widow Erika Kirk believes, and she doesn’t want a role in deciding whether he should receive the death penalty if he is convicted. “I do not want this man’s blood on my ledger when I stand before the Lord,” she told Fox News’ Jesse Watters in an interview aired Wednesday evening. “I want the government to decide. It’s Biblical too. Justice will ultimately be served.”

Pro-Palestinian positions may have fueled Mamdani’s politics and established his early volunteer base, but they didn’t win him the election. The New Yorkers who voted for him “overwhelmingly” said cost of living is their top issue, reported CNN. For most New Yorkers who hit the polls, questions about Mamdani’s attitude toward Israel — and even concerns about antisemitism — paled in importance beside affordability. Yet one tone-deaf Jewish leader after another pleaded with voters to reject Mamdani because of his highly critical attitude toward Israel. That stance, they said, could lead to attacks on Jewish New Yorkers. Exactly why should...

Is “Christian Zionism” an oxymoron? Worse still, is it a heresy? And whether it is an oxymoron or a heresy, is it a recent creation, dating back no earlier than the 19th century? Before we answer these questions, let’s first define our terms. If Zionism is the belief that Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, then Christian Zionism is the belief that the Bible affirms that Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people. It’s that simple. We can now answer the first question: Is “Christian Zionism” an oxymoron? Not at all, since it can easily be demonstrated...

This is in part because the Qur’an tells Muslims that they are the “best of peoples” (3:110) and that the unbelievers are “the most vile of created beings” (98:6). The believers are the best of peoples precisely because they are “enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong” (also 3:110). So why should the best of peoples have any respect for the flawed laws of the most vile of created beings? “German government data shows 135,000 crimes by Syrian suspects since 2015 — one every 39 minutes,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, October 30, 2025: The German government has...

In 1517, in the famous act of defiance that launched the Protestant Reformation, Luther nailed his “95 theses” on indulgences to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. Among them was this devastating question: ” 82. Why does not the pope, whose wealth is today greater than the wealth of the richest Croesus, build this one basilica of St. Peter with his own money rather than with the money of poor believers ?” In exposing the empty claims of the church to be God’s authority on earth, Luther challenged the entire hierarchy responsible for exploiting Catholic believers. In his...
