Is it now so politically incorrect to oppose gay marriage that a white shoe law firm will throw over a client rather than defend a law signed by President Bill Clinton? Apparently so, after yesterday's show of invertebrate representation by King and Spalding, the giant Atlanta-based law firm. King and Spalding dropped the House of Representatives as a client yesterday only days after agreeing to argue for the House in defending the constitutionality of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, or Doma. The jilting prompted the firm's lead attorney in the case, former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, to resign...

EDINA, Minnesota (LifeSiteNews) — A Lutheran female “minister” has gone viral for reciting a heretical “Sparkle Creed” as part of a recent church service. The Edina Community Lutheran Church (ECLC) “minister,” Anna Helgen, led the congregation in the “creed”: I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads and saw everyone as a sibling-child of God. I believe in the rainbow spirit who shatters our image of one white light and refracts it into a rainbow of gorgeous diversity. I believe in the...

The UK’s armed forces are considering a proposal to remove gender-specific terms like rifleman or guardsman from the titles of its various ranks and to replace these with less masculine ones, according to measures being appraised by British army chief Patrick Sanders. The potential switch, which would uproot centuries of army tradition, comes amid a review into “terms and terminology” and has reportedly come under consideration after some female soldiers expressed to Sanders that they felt excluded by male-dominated phraseology in the army.

Two thirds of US voters say they want Nashville police to release the manifesto of transgender school shooter Audrey Hale — a sign of growing frustration with the investigation into the deadly attack two weeks ago. Americans by wide margins want to see the screed, which many believe will reveal an agenda of violent trans extremism, and equal numbers are concerned that Hale's attack will inspire more copycat strikes on Christian schools, pollsters found. The Rasmussen Reports survey heaps pressure on Nashville cops to release Hale's writings, even as officials backtrack on claims she left behind a manifesto, and say...

Jennifer Bilek is an investigative journalist, a feminist and a leading voice really looking behind the curtain at who is pushing this TRANS AGENDA! In this interview, we discuss one of the most controversial subjects of our time: the massive effort to promote transgenderism and to push "gender-affirming care" on children.

The mother of the Nashville school shooter who killed six people – including three 9-year-olds – appeared to be a gun control activist who once urged friends on Facebook to sign a petition calling to keep firearms out of schools. “So important!” Norma Hale wrote in a March 8, 2018 Facebook post as she shared the petition that stated “Keep Guns Out of School” that appeared to be from the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.

The more we learn about the school shooting in Nashville, TN, the worse things look.The shooter has now been identified as a 28-year-old transgender man (i.e. actually a woman) who goes by “he/him” pronouns. Further, law enforcement has revealed she wrote a manifesto that they have recovered.More details are coming out, and this sure looks like it was a far-left terrorist attack. The transgender shooter shot up a Christian school just a few weeks after Tennessee passed a bill banning child mutilation under the guise of “gender-affirming care.” To further make the case, Luke Rosiak is now reporting that left-wing...

It’s the gender transition version of “you break it, you bought it.” Florida Republicans and Gov. Ron DeSantis have made a national name for themselves by standing up to progressive incursions into American life — from critical race theory and sexual dysfunction in schools to Big Tech’s unauthorized surveillance. Now, under a bill introduced for the upcoming legislative session, the state would be going on offense on one front in the cultural wars, taking the fight directly to companies’ bottom lines. The “Reverse Woke Act” (SB 952) was introduced Monday by state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, aiming at making companies that...

FBI Internal Memo Warns against ‘Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology’The FBI’s Richmond field office released an internal memo last month warning against “radical traditionalist Catholic ideology,” and claiming it “almost certainly presents new mitigation opportunities,” according to a document shared by an FBI whistleblower on Wednesday.
