"In North Carolina, doctors and nurses—who have heroically carried hospitals through the pandemic for well over a year without receiving the EUA COVID-19 “vaccine”—are being told they must now get the shot or will lose their job. The healthcare professionals recently spoke up after several health care providers across the state announced they would mandate all their employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

As a graduate of Oral Roberts University, I was blessed to spend a lot of time with Oral Roberts himself. Roberts repeatedly told me, “Go into every man’s world and meet them at the point of their need.” He was referring to Christians evangelizing throughout the world. We Christians cannot wait for people seeking God to stumble into our churches. Rather, Christians must go to them and invite them to join our movement. In a similar manner, conservatives must go! They must go to black entrepreneurs. They must go to black parents. They must go to black preachers. No more...

TOKYO—It’s common for stress to get to professional athletes, but U.S. women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe has been dealing with a recurring nightmare: winning the gold medal and having to hear the U.S. national anthem play. “Aieee! The anthem of my most hated country!” she would hiss and scream as the anthem played. “The one that won’t pay me fairly!” “Such a horrible nightmare really takes a lot out of you,” Rapinoe told reporters. “It’s started to affect my performance... which I guess is good, so it makes sure that nightmare won’t happen.” It should all be over soon, though,...

"Legislative initiatives by the coalition government on education, euthanasia, abortion, democratic memory and the judiciary reflect a global deconstruction project, whose development puts freedom at risk and impedes essential unity."

Defending the right of the State to impose "restrictions on those who refuse the vaccine," French bishops cautioned against "confusing the freedom to travel...
