THE Primates of the Anglican Communion are determined that the Lambeth Conference in July should not be dominated by debates about human sexuality, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said.

Thirty-seven Primates attended, including some online. It was the first time that the Primates had gathered in person since a meeting in Jordan in January 2020, shortly before...

How am I attempting to raise my kids as homosexuals, you ask? Well, it’s simple: I learned how from watching straight people enforce a sexual orientation on their children without ever saying “straight.” One of the most amazing things about cisgender straight people is that most of them think they don’t have a sexual orientation or a gender identity. A major premise of Florida’s recently passed “Don’t Say Gay” bill is that children should be sheltered from discussions of sexual orientation, and in many ways, I, a queer mom married to a woman, actually agree with this. That also goes...

Several days ago, fake president Joe Biden called for regime change in Russia, practically begging Russia’s military generals to remove Putin from power. But that hasn’t happened. What’s happening instead is that America’s intelligence community “generals” are now moving against Joe Biden. I received intel over the weekend that the IC (Intelligence Community) three letter agencies had come to the realization that if they didn’t stop Biden’s accelerating destruction of America, they would all be wiped out as America collapsed. I shared this intel in a Monday morning podcast and article that you can read here. The title of that...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday praised the Biden administration’s renewed effort to introduce a new tax on the country’s wealthiest households, calling for even more changes to the way corporate executives are paid. Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, said President Joe Biden’s proposal to require the top 0.01% of households — those worth over $100 million — to pay a 20% tax on their income is a welcome reform for a “broken” tax system. “What Democrats are saying is that we’ve got a plan to try to raise taxes on the millionaires and billionaires, the people at the top who...

Remember when we had an entire impeachment because the last president supposedly tried to use the official capacity of his office to push for an investigation of Biden family corruption? Well, the current president, who just so happens to be Joe Biden, has taken things a step further, using the official capacity of his office to push for the prosecution of Donald Trump.So, when does the impeachment start?That’s a rhetorical question, of course, but there is a new report confirming what I’m sure many suspected: Biden wants the DOJ to criminally charge Trump for something related to January 6th.Biden has...

Chicago businessman and philanthropist Dr. Willie Wilson, who recently gave away $1.2 million in gas to area residents, has dismissed a new plan unveiled by Mayor Lori Lightfoot to provide $12.5 million in prepaid gas and transit cards as a “political stunt.” Wilson, who will announce in April whether or not he will challenge Lightfoot in the 2023 Chicago mayoral election, released a statement Thursday arguing that the gas card giveaway will not do enough to help city residents deal with soaring gas prices, and called on state officials to waive taxes on fuel. “This plan is tone deaf and...

This is not a war between Ukraine and Russia. It is a war between the USA and Russia, in which both sides are cynically using Ukraine as a battering ram. The people of Ukraine will gain nothing and lose much from being treated in this way. They fight and die or lose their homes and flee. We pour in more weapons and shout encouragement from a safe distance. Russia wrecks the joint. ... I am sorry to say that there are people in the USA who will not be sad if this war drags on. A ‘senior diplomat’ was quoted...
