The Idaho Attorney General’s office announced on February 2 that a district court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by The Satanic Temple against the state’s Defense of Life Act, which protects nearly all preborn children in the state from abortion.

It appears Satan is alive and well in South Orange County. At last week’s Board of Trustees meeting for the Capistrano Unified School District in San Juan Capistrano, the creation of an “After School Satan Club” at Truman Benedict Elementary School in San Clemente had some residents and parents hot and bothered, while others spoke in the best interest of the club.

Satanic Temple co-founder Lucien Greaves tore into Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis on Thursday and challenged him to a debate after DeSantis blamed a Satanic altar in Iowa’s State Capitol on former President Donald Trump. “Did the Trump administration’s actions actually give your organization a legal standing to have this display?” asked Phillip, to which Greaves replied:... Greaves insisted, “Our IRS tax-exempt application certainly never came across Trump’s desk. Trump wouldn’t have comprehended it if he had seen it, and I think DeSantis knows that. It’s just another display of cowardice from a politician who wants to play ignorant.” The...

Our society has gone off the rails. In Green Bay, Wisconsin at the National Railroad Museum, the annual Festival of Trees just kicked off, and because the left ruins everything, what was once pure and wholesome is now demonic and Satanic—literally. Every holiday season, the establishment displays dozens of uniquely decorated Christmas trees contributed by local groups, but this year’s exhibit is particularly controversial due to the inclusion of Satanic and “transgender” trees thanks to “activists.” Adorning the transgender-themed tree are transgender flags and ornaments, with the movement’s over-used euphemisms (“Protect Trans Kids”), and was contributed by the Bay Area...

The life-taking act of abortion is being promoted by women’s fashion magazine Cosmo, which comes as no surprise to many, but a new article went much darker by praising Satanists and their twisted ritual women chant when they kill the unborn.

CV NEWS FEED // A federal judge Wednesday dismissed a challenge to Indiana’s pro-life law which was filed by The Satanic Temple (TST). As reported by WISH-TV, TST “sued to force the state to allow it to provide mail-order drugs for its members in Indiana to have an abortion.” The satanist group “claimed Indiana’s new abortion law, passed in 2022, violated the state’s religious freedom law as well as the Fifth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.” TST is based in Massachusetts and operates a virtual “health clinic” that prescribes abortion-inducing drugs.

The Satanic Temple has placed at least one pro-abortion billboard in Arkansas. The billboard comes as the group has dropped its lawsuit against Lamar Advertising Company over a set of pro-abortion billboards the company rejected in 2020.
