On May 9, 2023, former Fox News Host Tucker Carlson posted a three-minute video on Twitter, and here is my understanding of what he said: The mainstream media is misleading people by withholding valuable information from every story. Some reporters would like to tell the truth, but there are limits on what they can say, and they know that they will get fired if they say too much too often. Other than Twitter, there are not many outlets that allow free speech, but free speech on Twitter is impacted by the propaganda (untruth and/or partial truth) in the mainstream media....

NASHVILLE (LifeSiteNews) — The governor of Tennessee has signed legislation that defines sex as binary and biological in state law and allows teachers to reject the use of “preferred pronouns” with their students.

An abortionist in Mississippi at the time, McMillan said her life had been troubling her deeply and she began reading a book that encouraged her to repeat the Bible verse, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Sitting in her car one day, she finally said the verse to herself and immediately felt the “presence of Jesus Christ.” In a new interview with Live Action president and founder Lila Rose, McMillan shared how God changed her life, led her to stop aborting...
