American children are still being indoctrinated in the false narrative that, unless they are accepting of a genderless society, they are at risk of being labeled unwelcoming, unloving, and disrespectful toward others. Still, in a piece published Sunday at Blaze Media, Chris Enloe called for Christians to finally take back their “stolen” rainbow. “As the most holy secular celebration — a month-long altar call to the gods of sexual identity and self-expression, complete with its own liturgies, saints, and sacraments — Pride Month claims to be a celebration of liberation and truth,” Enloe wrote. “But beneath the rainbows and glitter...

As pilgrims walk across the country in public procession with the Eucharist, a group of protesters has begun to follow, shouting irreverent remarks that mock the Real Presence of Jesus in the consecrated host. Organizers of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage confirmed at a June 5 press conference that the protests, now estimated at 40 to 50 people, were not present during last year’s pilgrimage but have become a regular occurrence this year. Jason Shanks, president of the National Eucharistic Congress, described the protesters as “well-organized,” noting that while they have remained nonviolent so far, organizers are coordinating with dioceses and...

Maine recently updated its drug labeling law to shield physicians who prescribe abortion pills, allowing the prescribers to list their healthcare facility instead of their names on the label. Local ABC affiliate WMTW reported that Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, signed the bill May 29, two days after both chambers of Maine’s legislature approved it. The bill covers abortion drugs mifepristone, misoprostol, and their generic alternatives. According to WMTW, Mills has a history of shielding physicians and healthcare workers who commit abortions. Last year, she signed a bill that bans other states from taking legal action against abortionists or those...

Zack and Lindsay Knotts have filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, following Zack’s arrest during a pro-life demonstration outside the Northeast Ohio Women’s Center on December 28, 2024. The case stems from an incident in which Zack was arrested for using a battery-powered megaphone to share his pro-life message from a public sidewalk. According to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which represents him, the megaphone was quieter than surrounding traffic, while abortion clinic escorts allegedly used whistles and kazoos in an attempt to drown out Zack’s megaphone. Despite this, the ACLJ stated,...

About 250 Hollywood stars joined with Planned Parenthood last week in a full-page New York Times ad that called for continued taxpayer funding of the abortion industry giant. “I’m for Planned Parenthood,” proclaims the ad. The celebrities, among them singers Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and Cyndi Lauper, and actor George Lopez, cite three reasons for their support, including because they’re for “freedom” and for “health care.” Their third reason echoes Planned Parenthood’s common deceitful claim that they support getting “the government” out of decisions about abortion. In reality, Planned Parenthood and its allies are, in this very ad, pushing for...

A brief note on everybody’s least favorite hectoring eco-scold: I regret to inform you that Greta Thunberg is in the news again. It barely matters why, really — more nonsense about Gaza and “genocide.” We’ll get to that in a moment, but that’s not really why we’re here. ... It must have been an amazing high for Thunberg to be the center of so much adulation. I suspect this because she has been chasing that high ever since, long after the media gaze moved on. In the Biden era, the media were no longer interested in highlighting the urgency of...

Ukraine has deployed an AI-powered turret that has already shot down at least six of Russia's devastating Shahed drones, a military officer told Business Insider. Yuriy, the commander of Ukraine's air defense group, told BI last week that the system, called the Sky Sentinel, has "already been deployed in real combat, demonstrating high effectiveness." He said one prototype shot down six Shaheds in as many operational uses. This appears to be the first confirmation that one of the Sky Sentinels had downed up to six exploding drones. Ukraine previously said that the turret had been successfully tested, including on the...

New Mexico’s program is just the tip of the iceberg.While experts have long dismissed large-scale Medicaid fraud as improbable, evidence from New Mexico tells a different story. This discovery presents an unprecedented opportunity to offset part of the $880 billion budget deficit without cutting healthcare services for enrollees.As the most powerful stakeholders, insurers frame fraud as an issue with hospitals, physicians, and enrollees while quietly escaping scrutiny themselves. A 2020 Health and Human Services report claimed that fraud in Medicaid fee-for-service stood at 12.3%, compared to just 0.3% in Medicaid managed care, reinforcing the industry’s message that managed care is...

[Recordings at link. The 1 min D-Day audio includes the words of the announcer.]The Sound of the Liberty BellThe Bell as Ben Heard ItThanks to modern computer modeling, we may have a closer idea of exactly how the Bell sounded when Benjamin Franklin heard it. In 1999, graduate students from Pennsylvania State University were able to digitally create a structural model of the Liberty Bell. From this computer model, they were able to mathematically equate the vibration of the Bell and add sound. Knowing that the tone of the Bell was E-flat, they were able to come up with a...

These are not Americans and she is not the victim. In the aftermath of that attempted mass murder in Boulder, Colorado, when a crazed illegal alien from Egypt with alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties named Mohamed Sabry Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set ablaze 12 people staging a pro-Israel rally, we now have our newest controversy.Naturally, because it involves the corporate media and the Left, it’s something which is a controversy despite the fact that it isn’t controversial at all among sane and rational people.Soliman was here in the country illegally. He came to America on a...

Whales, as the largest mammals on Earth, have long been an important resource for human societies, whether it be for food, oil, or other materials. According to a report by Popular Science, hunter-gatherers in present-day Spain and France have been crafting essential tools from whale bones for much longer than previously thought. A new study analyzed 83 bone tools found at sites along the Bay of Biscay and 90 additional bones from the Santa Catalina cave in Spain. The investigation relied on mass spectrometry and radiocarbon dating to determine that humans living in the region have been making whale-bone tools,...

Thursday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said that Tesla CEO Elon Musk “suddenly got a big dose of truth serum” while commenting on his disagreement with President Donald Trump. Host Kasie Hunt said, “What we are seeing play out right now between the President of the United States and the richest man in the world is unlike anything I think we’ve seen in politics.” Van Hollen said, “You’re absolutely right. It’s as if Elon Musk suddenly got a big dose of truth serum, and he’s letting it all pour out. And it is, I think, going...

When it comes to sharing his opinions on pretty much any topic, Steve Bannon has never been shy, and today, in defense of his good friend, Donald J. Trump, Bannon eviscerated the world’s wealthiest man, calling him ‘incompetent,” and suggesting Musk had no business receiving the kind of trust or praise Trump bestowed upon him. Today, while speaking with two of his co-hosts, former US Congressman Dave Brat and social media personality Jack Posbiec, Steve Bannon appeared to have had enough of the very public feud between Elon Musk and President Trump and mercilessly unloaded on Musk. “Elon Musk is...
