An LGBT advocacy group sued the U.S. Education Department in hopes of forcing various Christian schools to systematically adhere to the ever-changing and frequently incoherent precepts sanctioned by gay- and transsexual-rights activists. To achieve this end, they reportedly sought to bar students from using tuition grants, student loans, and other federal financial assistance at colleges and universities that work in accordance with religious beliefs on sexuality. They failed. Clinton-nominated Judge Ann Aiken of the U.S. District Court of the District of Oregon ruled on January 12 in favor of Christian colleges and against the plaintiffs.

FIRST ON FOX: President Biden has a "shrewd insurance policy" against impeachment and her name is Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert. Boebert told Fox News Digital she believes that Republicans' intensely negative view of Harris is making them more hesitant to push for Biden's impeachment than they otherwise would be. "Kamala Harris is Biden’s shrewd insurance policy," said Boebert. "Joe Biden has failed the American people, and he’s keeping some members from calling for impeachment by having a historically unpopular vice president," the congresswoman continued. "Both have failed to faithfully uphold and execute the...

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has signalled that she will “tap” into Social Security to avoid breaching the US debt limit. Of course, if she does, it is unlikely that she will return the dollars. The Credit Default Swaps 1-year for the US (insurance against default) sits at 68.55, near the highest since 2013 debt ceiling crisis. Notice that the debt ceiling keeps on climbing once the Kabuki Theater of Democrats and Republicans is over. The Volatility Cube for the US CDS 1 year signals that it will all be over soon. So, Yellen and Treasury are threatening us with...

Aguilar visited the Anaheim park with her two adult daughters on Aug. 22, 2021. When they arrived at the Jungle Cruise attraction, Aguilar, who was physically disabled, was told by employees that a wheelchair-accessible boat was unavailable, the Register reported.

Many Muslims believe it is forbidden to see images of the prophet, with some suggesting displaying his likeness is "hate speech." Dr. Erika Lopez Prater filed the lawsuit against the Minnesota liberal arts college on Tuesday, alleging she was discriminated against and subsequently defamed after her actions were deemed "Islamophobic."

Vice President and border czar Kamala Harris won't visit the border during her trip to Arizona Thursday. The vice president will travel to Tonopah, Arizona, which is about 100 miles away from the southern border with Mexico. Harris was given the task of finding the root cause of mass migration and the crossing of hundreds of thousands of migrants, but has visited the border just once since she took office, in 2021. Instead of stopping at the border, Harris is instead scheduled to attend the groundbreaking of a 125-mile-long transmission line that will transport wind and solar energy through the...

Researchers have solved three fiendishly difficult technical challenges that were effectively blocking the realization of the potential shown by semiconducting 2D materials, a key ingredient to creating new atom-thick transistors that can reset Moore's Law. Thanks to the works of a multi-institutional team of researchers the production of high-quality 2D materials at a commercial scale now appears to be solved. The advance of semiconductor development is threatened by natural restrictions imposed by the way transistors are fabricated and the materials that are used. This barrier to Moore’s Law has long been looming on the horizon, and forward-thinking scientists have been...

COVID-19 swept swiftly through southern China's rural mountain villages last month, and the wave appears to have subsided - supporting expert theories that the country's most recent outbreak preceded the lifting of restrictions. China abruptly abandoned its zero-COVID policy in early December, and the explosion in cases that packed hospitals and crematoriums was widely attributed to the sudden reopening. But in over a dozen communities visited by AFP in Yunnan province and other parts of rural China this month, the surge appears to have peaked weeks earlier than predicted.

British satirist Konstantin Kisin slammed "woke culture" during a speech at a recent Oxford Union debate and actually won over the left-wing crowd with his confidently delivered points — and he later told Fox News' Tucker Carlson that adults need to find ways to persuade young people instead of being "afraid" of them. What are the details? Kisin — who hosts the "TRIGGERnometry" podcast — last week posted to Twitter a video of his address; it's received millions of views. Early in his speech, Kisin explained that one very un-woke concept — free speech — "is not some right-wing reframing...

A comedian’s searing take on how “woke culture” and climate activism has “gone too far” and “brainwashed” young minds has gone viral. “I’m tired of talking about woke culture. Free speech is not some right-week reframing of whatever — it’s the foundation of Western civilization,” Russian British comedian Konstantin Kisin recently told the Oxford Union Society. “We know that the way to improve the world is to work, is to create, is to build, and the problem with woke culture is that it has trained too many young minds like yours to forget about that,” he added.

President Joe Biden has claimed his garage where he stored classified documents was totally secure after theft in Wilmington, Delaware, soared by 21 percent in 2022, according to the city’s police department. “By the way, the Corvette is in a locked garage. OK? It’s not like they’re sitting out in the street,” Biden told reporters on January 12 when confronted about the stashed classified documents in his garage. So it was in a locked garage?” Fox News’s Peter Doocy persisted. “Yes, as well as my Corvette,” Biden claimed.

Just a reminder of the three rules that determine how liberals decide whether something is true or not. If they deny this, that is an act of taqiyya, which fits under Rules 1 & 2, at least.1. Truth is whatever serves the Party. 2. If you repeat something enough, it's true. 3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

President Biden’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is taking steps towards requiring state and local governments to submit “equity plans” to the federal government to display compliance to fair housing rules. President Biden’s HUD submitted a proposed rule that would require local governments to submit plans and reports relating to civil rights concerns or else risk losing subsidies from the federal government, the Washington Examiner reported. The requirements are part of a rule called “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” and are said to follow through on one portion of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which mandated that localities “affirmatively...

Second Week in Ordinary Time Mark 3:7–12 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus cured so many people that he had to climb into a boat to escape the press of the crowd. To this day the Church carries on his gracious healing ministry.We recall that the Apostles of Jesus simply continued what the Master did. And one of the principal marks of the Lord’s ministry was clearly healing. There was, of course, a deep biblical conviction that when the day of the Lord arrives, creation would be set right. What we witness in the healings of Jesus is just this repairing...
