Kennedy, now 89 years old, no longer hears Supreme Court cases. He formally stepped down seven years ago during the first Trump administration. "I loved sitting on the bench," he said. Asked whether he would want to be there today, he replied, "The only reason I left – I love the Court – but I left for something that I love more, which is my wife, Mary." … And as the "swing justice" on the Court, says Greene, Kennedy cast the deciding vote on some of the most consequential political and cultural issues of his era: the 2000 Presidential election,...

An LGBT organization in New Braunfels is hosting a drag show on Saturday that is being marketed as “all ages.” While the Riverside Pride Festival was originally slated to take place at the Comal County Fairgrounds, the event has since been moved to an alternate location—Faith United Church of Christ. The Comal County Fair Executive Board released a statement Tuesday evening explaining that the LGBT organization had decided to move the event following concerns over “age appropriateness.”

Zao MKE Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is led by Rev. Jonah P. Overton (they/them) and Cameron Overton. Married in 2018, they present as a gay homosexual couple, when in reality, both are biological women, making them a gay, lesbian couple. Describing themselves as “Jesus Rooted, Justice Centered, Radically Inclusive,” a Q Worship Collective describes them as “a church that is being recreated and reimagined by people who were historically denied access to traditional Christian leadership.” We’ve covered them before after their pastor set a record for the most amount of times saying “crap” in a sermon, and after the worship...

Preschoolers with LGBTQ parents or who identify as LGBTQ can't be shut out of religious preschools that are part of Colorado's state-funded preschool program, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday. The decision, which upholds a key part of a lower court decision, represents a major win for the state and a defeat for the two Denver-area Catholic preschools at the center of the case. Tuesday's decision provides the latest answer to a question being asked in several cases percolating in state and federal courts: Can private religious schools that accept public education dollars refuse to enroll certain kids based on...

Georgiann Davis, an associate professor at The University of New Mexico, wrote in an op-ed Thursday in the Los Angeles Times that she is concerned about being forced to lie when speaking about sexuality.

Netflix is having a no-good, horrible, very bad week after Elon Musk called for a boycott of the streaming site over its efforts to push transgender insanity on kids, labeling them groomers.As my RedState colleague Bonchie reported this week, the streaming giant really ran into a Conservative buzzsaw following news about the promotion of several shows geared towards children, and that push a pro-transgender agenda.READ MORE: Netflix Runs Into a Conservative Buzzsaw After It Pushes Transgenderism on ChildrenMORE: Victory for Team Commonsense: Woman Wins Huge Settlement After Calling Out Transgender InsanityBonchie wrote about a show called "Dead End: Paranormal Park,"...

A federal court has ruled in favor of free speech in a fight that was created by an attack by the city of Louisville, Kentucky, on a local photographer. The city had decided to impose its religious viewpoint and ordered the photographer, Chelsey Nelson, to use her artistic talents to promote anti-Christian same-sex wedding ceremonies "if she photographers and blogs about weddings between one man and one woman," the biblical standard. Leftist city officials even had tried to order her to be silent on such issues, claiming that they could forbid her and her studio from explaining to clients and...

WND already has reported that a Christian baker from California has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up her cake fight. The dispute is over the state's virulent attack on baker Cathy Miller because she declines to promote ideologies that violate her Christian faith in her cake artistry. The court already has ruled on the issue, deciding in the case involving Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado that he could not be forced to violate his faith.

On September 5, the Trump administration released its “Initial Report by the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias,” completed three months ago. The actual title of the 48-page document is “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government,” and was mandated by President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14202 tasking the Attorney General with ensuring that “any unlawful and improper conduct, policies or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and rectified.” The author of the report, presumably a Justice Department official, notes that it is “not the end of the inquiry,” but that a “detailed report with findings and recommendations” will...

Jason Hedberg was one of about four dozen midshipmen who sued top officials at the Naval Academy, Navy and Pentagon in 1994 in a desperate bid to block an Honor Board at Annapolis from deciding whether they should be dismissed from the school. “In compliance with the orders of their superior military officers, each named plaintiff was compelled to make inculpatory statements to Navy Inspector General investigators,” read the...

Speaking to the Le Monde newspaper this week, Thomas Jolly acknowledged political bias his Opening Ceremony for the supposedly politically-neutral Olympics in Paris, which sparked international criticism over a performance seemingly intended to mock Christianity with a drag queen-themed apparent reimagining the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.

Bill Maher rejects Kamala’s claim that America wasn’t ready “for a ticket with a black woman and a gay man.” @billmaher: “I know the Republicans would say, “Well, if you had the right politics, we don’t care if you’re black. We’ve had Herman Cain run. We’ve had lots of people run. 20% of black men voted for Trump in the last election. And gay, we don’t care about that either.”

A girls high school volleyball team with a transgender player in California had more of its games forfeited last weekend.

Munonz told Fox News Digital that Aquinas High School, Yucaipa High School and San Dima High School were the teams that forfeited...... "Plaintiffs...

Americans are shocked that conservative Christian Charlie Kirk was assassinated because radicals on the left could not tolerate debating the issues with him on college campuses and elsewhere. They also are surprised to learn of the deep interconnectedness and complicity of the LGBT community in the violence and hate coming from the left which has culminated in Kirk’s assassination. They shouldn’t be. I have experienced this hate and violence for nearly two decades as I have advocated for traditional marriage, the biological basis of gender, and free speech. It all began with Prop. 8 in 2008. Proposition 8 was a...

Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox Montel Williams is now trying to steer the conversation away from the truth...refusing to call Charlie Kirk’s assassin what he was: an unhinged leftist with hate in his heart. Instead, Montel is spinning it as a love story...a young man defending someone he cared about. Wow. This is absolutely twisted. Nothing says “love” like murdering someone in cold blood. “There are people trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a right thing.” “And what we’re really talking about, hear me, because I’m going to throw you when I say this… we’re talking about a...
