America Becoming Less Christian Is A Problem For EveryoneA massive new Pew survey with a misleading headline tells the tale of America’s ongoing de-Christianization.A major survey on the religious landscape of America was just released by Pew Research Center, and what it reveals about the decline of Christianity should alarm every American, whether or not one is Christian.Why should the de-Christianization of America worry us? Because, as I’ve argued before, if America loses the Christian faith from which our system of government is derived, we will lose everything that makes America what it is. All of the rights and freedoms...

A new four-lane highway requiring the decimation of tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built to carry globalist elites to the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém. The BBC reports the aim is to ease vehicle traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people – including world leaders – at the U.N. sponsored conference in November. COP30 will also see the usual thousands of attendees flying in for the occasion. Critics are quick to point out the sheer hypocrisy of this deforestation as it contradicts the claimed purpose of...

In America today, evil has a large cheering section. In Los Angeles, advocates for criminal aliens doxed ICE agents, posting flyers with their personal information, endangering them and their families. This is the latest tactic to prevent the deportation of hardened criminals and gang members, including those wanted for rape and murder. One group, which styles itself the Community Self-Defense Coalition, has been patrolling the city with megaphones, warning of the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Hear me on this: Stephen A. Smith is no joke. Democrats, do not underestimate him. Do not mock him. Do not take him lightly. Do not ignore him. Do I think the face of ESPN (who, according to multiple sources, just inked a five-year, $100-million contract extension) and the most influential man in sports media is going to run for president on your ticket? No, I do not. But he’s not wrong when he boasts that he could wipe the floor in a debate with just about any other prospective Democratic candidate (Pete Buttigieg and New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being...

As the Pentagon and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency set their sights on climate-related programs at the Defense Department, officials and experts are warning that slashing them could put US troops and military operations at risk, both in the near and long term. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other senior Pentagon officials have pointed to climate programs as a prime example of wasteful spending in the military. Hegseth told reporters in Germany in February that the Pentagon is “not in the business of climate change.” Acting Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Salesses also made it clear that funding would...

Feb. 4-17 is National Marriage Week. It may sound prosaic, but it couldn't be more important. As marriage goes, so goes the nation. Without marriage, we become a nation of increasingly isolated, self-absorbed individuals, which is why the decline of marriage is so ominous. In 1970, married couples were 71% of U.S. households. By 2022, they were 47%. In 1962, 90% of 30-year-olds were married. By 2019, that figure had fallen to 51%.

As Pope Francis approaches death, millions of Catholics around the world put aside their differences with the man to pray for him. Some pray for what Catholics call a “happy death” free from mortal sin. Some pray for his return to health. Some pray for his conversion or repentance.“It’s a sad thing to say but there should be no controversy whatsoever about people sincerely praying for the salvation of the pope’s soul,” said Frank Wright, a British Catholic journalist. “I see nothing but good intentions for that. I pray for the soul of the pope myself. It’s our duty.”It might...

Deborah Fleischaker worked for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE under President Biden. Fleischaker witnessed the Trump administration make changes to immigration guidelines she worked on. She said she's feels that federal workers are being vilified and finds it sad to watch. This as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with 52-year-old Deborah Fleischaker, from Washington, D.C. The following has been edited for length and clarity. On election night, I knew I was out of a job. I'd been working for the Department of Homeland Security as a political appointee under the Biden administration. I was hopeful about...

Despite President Donald Trump's claims, the 2024 election always felt less like a Trump victory and more like a Democratic collapse. Kamala Harris outspent Trump by nearly $700 million—only to get knocked out on the first night. No amount of ads, door-knocking, or "all-star" consultants could make people like Democrats. And now, as America white-knuckles through a fresh constitutional crisis every other day, Democrats still can't figure out why voters keep turning them away. For years, Democrats have branded themselves as the adults in the room—the stable, rational choice. But in practice, that has meant coming off as stiff, preachy,...

Iowa became the first state to strike anti-discrimination protections for transgender people from its civil rights code on Friday after the state’s Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds signed hotly contested legislation into law. The bill, introduced last week, sped through the legislature despite widespread opposition from Democrats and LGBTQ rights advocates who flooded the statehouse in Des Moines to protest its passage.

WASHINGTON—Amid a MAGA-led backlash to diversity, equity and inclusion policies, the Supreme Court on Wednesday will consider an issue that has split judges around the country: What do white people and other members of a majority group have to prove to win a claim for reverse discrimination? Marlean Ames claims the Ohio state agency where she works denied her a promotion and then demoted her because she is heterosexual, instead giving both her old job and the one she had sought to gay people. A federal appeals court in Cincinnati threw out Ames’s lawsuit, finding that she failed to show...

A federal district judge has failed to dismiss a lawsuit brought by a fired worker who obtained a job at a religious school by promising to adhere to its biblical standards, even as he was already started on a campaign to embrace transgenderism. The judge, Norman Moon, allowed the lawsuit by Jonathan Zinski against Liberty University to move forward by claiming that the school cannot "erect a shield against antidiscrimination laws by asserting that mere acceptance of a member from a particular group would impair its image." Further, he said having the Christian school employ Zinski does not significantly burden...

Elon Musk post on X: "We are on the event horizon of the singularity."

On Thursday, it was ultimately confirmed that the bodies sent back to Israel were that of Ariel and Kfir Bibas, who were only 4-years-old and 10-months-old when murdered by Hamas. Another body sent back was not that of their mother, though, Shiri Bibas. As the IDF has shared the young brothers were not killed in an Israeli airstrike, as Hamas claimed, with outlets such as the Associated Press spreading such propaganda. The IDF is also sharing the manner in which the young boys were killed, as their father, Yarden Bibas, who returned from captivity on February 1, wants the world...

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 20 mandating the housing of transgender women in men’s prisons and halting federal funding for gender-affirming care. A federal judge has since blocked the transfer of transgender inmate “Maria Moe” to a men’s prison and the denial of Moe’s care. The lawsuit challenges Trump’s order and prevents the transfer. The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) reclassified Moe from “female” to “male” and planned to transfer her to a men’s facility, threatening Moe’s access to hormone therapy. U.S. District Judge George O’Toole issued a temporary restraining order on January 26, preventing Moe’s transfer...

Nearly half a century after Anita Bryant made Miami the crucible in the fight for gay rights, she has died of cancer in Edmond, Oklahoma, at age 84. But her cause, once mocked as intolerant and self-righteous, has been revived by members of today’s conservative Christian movement who warn that homosexuality is a threat to children. Bryant and her Save Our Children coalition — later changed to Protect America’s Children — led a successful 1977 campaign to overturn a Dade County ordinance prohibiting discrimination against gays. It took the county 21 years to restore the law. Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article298335973.html#storylink=cpy
