President Joe Biden, a self-professed Catholic, made the sign of the cross while Florida Democratic Party chairperson Nikki Fried decried the state’s six-week abortion limit at an event on Tuesday. A clip of the Tampa, Florida, event broadcast on Fox News shows the 81-year-old president cross himself, a practice among Catholics meant to symbolically indicate the figure of Christ’s cross, while Fried said: “And then we come back here to the state of Florida, where Ron DeSantis felt like he needed to run for president, and so 15-weeks wasn’t good enough — we had to go to six-weeks.”

Fox's Family Guy has been mocking Christianity since the early years of the show. Last night's episode turned Jesus into a vulgar comedian who mocks His mother's virginity. In the episode, "Faith No More," Brian goes back in time to erase Christianity from existence after an attractive Evangelical Christian woman refuses to have sex with him. After being rejected by a veterinary nurse who is an Evangelical Christian, Brian comes home and rants to Stewie about Christianity. Brian: Christianity sucks. It's stupid, arbitrary nonsense. Stewie: You're horny and she wouldn't have sex with you. Brian: No. And I did everything...

Planetary warming, also known as climate change, continues to accelerate. The last eight years have been the warmest on global record, which is well-documented, with information dating back to 1850. Additional warming will continue in the years to come, but how much more warming depends on the decisions we make in the coming decades about energy use. For those looking to take individual actions, and in recognition of Earth Day, there are many that are relevant across income levels: 1. Reduce food waste This can be as simple as being sure that food is consumed before it goes bad and...

The leftists at the Harvard Crimson have spoken out against transgender athlete bans and claimed that the evidence to support the case that men have a physical advantage over women is “less conclusive.” However, in the process of making the assertion, the article ignored all evidence to the contrary to support their own claim that transgender athlete participation is wholly benign. In the college paper’s April 16 editorial, entitled, There Are Many Obstacles Facing Women’s Sports. Trans Athletes Aren’t One, writer Jonathan G. Yuan writes for The Crimson Editorial Board that the “science” is “less conclusive” that “transgender women hold...

Wearing a black pantsuit and buzz-cut hairstyle, Fin introduced themselves by their new name before reading a bible verse to the congregation.

It’s becoming increasingly easy to separate the sheep from the goats as we watch the religious, cultural, and political climate become increasingly divisive. David French, a religious leftist who devotes his life to standing against conservative Christianity in the public sphere, stands at the epicenter of this great divide stamping and stammering his feet as he continues to detach himself from reality. As a man who claims to be a Christian, his attempt to divorce politics from theology is a clamant disregard for actual biblical principles that are meant to guide believers and hold the final authority over our hearts,...

On Easter, as the Mission District’s pious donned their Sunday best and filed into the Basilica, an altogether different congregation was gathering in Dolores Park, orchestrated by a colorful, sacrilegious clergy.

As the majority of Americans prepared to celebrate Easter, President Biden issued a proclamation honoring Transgender Day of Visibility. The proclamation parroted the trans activists’ dark creed, claiming “bullying,” “harassment” and “discrimination” of people who embrace a transgender identity are causing a “mental health crisis,” suicide and “epidemic of violence.” The president’s choice to celebrate trans activists’ suicide-soaked false narrative rather than the joy and promise of Easter was cruel to both Christians and the emotionally vulnerable people captivated by trans ideology. As activist Rachel Crandall-Crocker, a male psychotherapist and founder of Transgender Michigan, created this high holy day in...

“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives,” Biden wrote in the declaration.

A Cadbury store has been accused of erasing Easter by advertising chocolate eggs as “gesture eggs”. The brand’s discount store in Springfields Outlet in Spalding, Lincolnshire, is displaying signs offering customers a two-for-£10 deal on “gesture eggs”. The omission of the word “Easter”, particularly when advertising its popular Easter eggs synonymous with the religious holiday, has provoked anger among the Christian community. “If it wasn’t for Easter, we wouldn’t have a reason for Easter eggs,” said Tim Dieppe, the head of public policy at Christian Concern. “So I’m wondering why Cadbury wants to erase the connection between Easter and eggs,...

Jesus is the best thing I could recommend to anyone because He changed my life. That’s why I have the sticker on my car for anyone who is interested to see,’ Jalil Mashali said. A German taxi driver and Christian convert from Islam has been fined over a Bible quote sticker on his car’s rear window due to what his city refers to as unlawful “religious advertising.” Jalil Mashali was threatened with a fine of up to 1,000 euros in October due to a small sticker on his taxi car that displays a cross and reads, “Jesus – I am...

If President Biden wins reelection, his top priority on Day One would be codifying abortion protections in federal law, his deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Host Kristen Welker asked, “What would on day one President Biden’s top priority be?” Fulks responded, “First of all, Roe. The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago.” “Constitutionally speaking, abortion is not a right,” responded Joseph Backholm, senior fellow for Biblical Worldview and Strategic...

So, it’s official. Senator Ben Cardin’s office has told Politico that “Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the US Senate.” Goaded by demagogic republicans, the Capitol police has now also opened an investigation. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve already seen the viral video making its rounds. Republicans just can’t stop watching the 8 second clip featuring two men embracing each other in love while you can briefly see an empty room in the background. It turns out one of the lovemaking men was Aidan Maese-Czeropski, and the room was recognized by some as the senate hearing...

A group of Irish dancers is voicing support for trans competitors in response to backlash following a trans teen’s victory in a recent competition held by the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America (IDTANA) Southern Region. “We, the Irish dancing community, voice our unequivocal support for transgender dancers and for these dancers to continue competing as their true selves in the category that best aligns with their gender identity,” states a Change.org petition started by Connecticut-based adult Irish dancer Gabrielle Siegel. “We recognize the right of transgender dancers to succeed in our sport, and celebrate their wins without exception.”...

Flamy Grant, the drag queen who attended this year’s Dove Awards alongside Derek Webb (Caedmon’s Call) and Grace Baldridge (Semler), performed at a Baptist church in Virginia on Saturday (Dec. 2). Matthew Blake is an openly queer man who dresses in drag and goes by the stage name “Flamy Grant.” “I’m a singing/songwriting drag queen named after arguably the most successful Christian artist of all time,” Grant says. “A SHAME-SLAYING, HIP-SWAYING, SINGING-SONGWRITING QUEEN,” reads the concert series promotion from Grace Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia. “The comedy queen with the blistering voice, Flamy Grant, is a gospel and roots musician...

Major California toy retailers without “gender-neutral” sections will be fined hundreds of dollars under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pro-LGBTQ bill. Assembly Bill No. 1084, signed by Newsom in 2021, will be enacted on January 1, 2024, and will require stores that sell “childcare items or toys” for children aged 12 years or younger to display a gender-neutral section — or be fined up to $500. Stores will be required by law to have designated gender-neutral toys “regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys,” the bill states. The legislation will apply to retailers with 500...

Former NSA and CIA chief Michael Hayden, who has fashioned a post-government career attacking and censoring conservatives, is spending his Thanksgiving week smearing patriotic American Christians who own firearms, claiming they are “no different” from Hamas terrorists. On Wednesday, Michael Hayden responded to a post on X that juxtaposed two photos: one of a woman holding an American flag, Bible, and handgun; the other of Palestinian terrorist Reem Riyashi, who killed herself along with four Israelis in a 2004 suicide bombing that was claimed by Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

Many social media users were outraged by Maxim Australia's "Hot 100" list after it included a transgender woman. "Welcome to the 2023 Ultra Tune MAXIM HOT 100 – our annual, eclectic and definitive list of Australian women who have impressed, made headlines or simply had a huge year. The past 12 months saw an abundance of fine and fierce femmes who have wowed us with their aptitude, intellect, humour, attributes and overall incredible talents," Maxim Australia Editor-in-Chief Santi Pintado said in a statement announcing the list. In the 92nd spot on the list, Maxim Australia included Dani Laidley, a transgender...

You know the left’s agenda is really extreme, unpopular and out-of-touch when they have to lie about it. Well, here’s the latest lie from the pro-abortion left. A pro-abortion group called, “Shout Your Abortion” (yes, they think abortions are something to brag about) has put up billboards along I-55 through the heart of the Bible Belt to Illinois, where women can get abortions until the day of birth. One theme of these billboards is “God’s plan includes abortion.” That is obscene. If we had a fair and balanced media, someone in the White House press corps would be asking if...

Prof. Begun said: "Our findings further suggest that hominines [bonobos, chimpanzees, and gorillas] not only evolved in western and central Europe - but spent over five million years evolving there and spreading to the eastern Mediterranean before eventually dispersing into Africa."....This migration, he added, was "probably a consequence of changing environments and diminishing forests."
