The Left’s Evil Response to Charlie Kirk’s Murder

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Have you ever questioned the Judeo-Christian teaching that mankind is evil? Have you ever recoiled at the Old Testament’s claim that “the heart is deceitful above all things” or felt uncomfortable with St. Paul’s accusation that, apart from Christ, all of us suffer the curse of a “reprobate mind”? Well, if you have, then the response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination last week should remove all doubt. We are indeed a wicked and broken race.… Continue Reading

Will Pritzker Own Up to His Irresponsible Rhetoric?

Written by David E. Smith

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s horrific public execution, Governor JB Pritzker issued condolences to the Kirk family. He then pivoted to the broader issue of political violence, warning that it is “ratcheting up in this country.” Pointing to recent political killings in Minnesota, he insisted, “It’s got to stop, and I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country.” Of course, Pritzker ultimately laid the blame at the feet of President Donald Trump, saying:

I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it.

How Gay ‘Marriage’ Made Today’s Gender Madness Possible

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Gay marriage was not just a step down the slippery slope toward today’s transgender dystopia. It was the first manifestation of it. Now that a broad reawakening has exposed the harms of gender ideology and the denial of natural law, Republicans must press beyond protecting women’s sports and opposing child castration. They must return to the root of the problem: the redefinition of marriage itself.

Marriage is the foundation of human civilization, not a mere “social construct.”… Continue Reading

Why Parents Are Abandoning Public Schools — By The Millions

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

If you’ve ever wondered why America’s public schools receive so much criticism today and why so many hardworking families are making considerable financial sacrifices to enroll their children in private education instead, consider three recent headline stories.

First is the case in Michigan, where a public school teacher with 31 years of seniority decided to quit her job rather than succumb to a test that required her to “rate her level of Whiteness” as a means of improving her teaching skills.… Continue Reading

Trump, Miller Blast Pritzker as Chicago Violence Spirals

Written by David E. Smith

Chicago endured another bloody Labor Day weekend: eight people killed and 58 shot, including two teenagers. President Donald J. Trump responded by declaring, “Enough is enough… we’re going in,” signaling his willingness to send federal help to restore order in the city.

Trump contrasted Chicago’s spiraling violence with Washington, D.C., which he claimed is now a “safe zone” after federal intervention. “You can walk right down the middle of the street… you’re safe,” he told reporters.… Continue Reading

Confronting the Lie that Pro-Lifers Don’t Care Once a Child Is Born

Written by Robert Knight

One of the most dishonest attacks on the pro-life movement is the charge that pro-life people care only about the baby in utero – not about the mothers or their delivered babies.

A new report, “Pregnancy Centers Stand the Test of Time,” by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of the Susan B. Anthony List, puts the lie to that assertion.

In 2019, the latest year tabulated, about 2,700 pro-life pregnancy centers nationally served nearly two million people.… Continue Reading

Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

As a university president, I had a front-row seat as I watched hundreds of students descend onto my campus every year. Each fall, I watched with growing discomfort as the increase in self-centeredness became more apparent.

From the athlete who was upset because his coach was too harsh, to the student who failed a test because the professor was “unfair,” to the coed who was incredulous because a faculty member dared to penalize her for skipping class, over and over again, I watched as one generation after another strutted into the classroom with the confidence that they were God’s gift to the ivory tower, regardless of their academic performance (or lack thereof).… Continue Reading

The DOJ Just Asked Staff Not to Use Personal Pronouns

Written by Peter Heck

Word leaked from internal memos on [earlier this month] that the Trump Department of Justice had officially instructed employees not to include preferred pronouns, motivational quotes, or other “extraneous content” in their official email signatures.

Workers in the department must clean up their correspondence as the directive, part of the administration’s policy on “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth,” requires.… Continue Reading

Gov. JB Pritzker: “There is no Emergency in Chicago…”

Written by David E. Smith

After a weekend of bloodshed—34 shot in Chicago, including a 5-year-old boy killed in his own home—Governor JB Pritzker, flanked by Mayor Brandon Johnson and U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, had the audacity to declare with straight faces:

“There is no emergency in Chicago that calls for armed military intervention.”

For anyone who lives, works, or grew up in Chicago, the denial is staggering. Over the weekend alone, five people were killed, including the young child in Kenwood and a woman slain in a West Side mass shooting that left five others wounded.… Continue Reading

Teaching Schoolchildren What It Means To Be An American

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last week, Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma superintendent for public instruction, made national news for announcing that, effective immediately, his state’s teacher candidates (especially from such places as California and New York) will now be required to take and pass an “America First” test before they will be considered for employment in Oklahoma’s public schools. As you can imagine, the teachers unions and establishment elites have lost their ever-loving minds over this.… Continue Reading
