The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed a new rule regulating the distribution of grants. HHS has historically held that any program or organization receiving a grant may not discriminate based on religion, race, ethnicity or sex. The proposed rule would redefine “sex” to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
There are no religious liberty exemptions included in this new proposal. As such, this rule could harm religious organizations that hold sincere convictions that human beings are created in the image and likeness of Almighty God as male and female.… Continue Reading

Last Tuesday felt a lot like 2020, when counting stopped in the wee hours and Democratic nominee Joe Biden pulled miraculously ahead.
By midnight this time, only North Carolina had been called for Republican Donald Trump, and the other six battleground states were too early to call. What? The rest of the country’s vote had pretty much been counted.
Despite the dread, there was a palpable feeling that things would be different, that this election would be, as Mr. … Continue Reading

In recent years, we have detected that Democrats and Republicans are increasingly finding themselves further apart politically, socially, and spiritually. I don’t find Republicans have taken any major steps away from what they always believed in, God, family, and country.
Democrats, on the other hand, are unrecognizable as to what they were 50 or 60 years ago. Like Republicans, Democrats believed in equality, democracy, a strong military, and were anti-communist.
According to Pew Research, Republicans that are certain or fairly certain that there is a God are at 90%. … Continue Reading

Yes, you read that correctly. Recently, there were 4.6 million voter and election documents, including voter records, ballots, lists, and election-related records exposed by Platinum Technology Resource.
What does that have to do with Illinois voters?
The state of Illinois contracted with Platinum Technology Resource, a vendor that offers services to 23 Illinois counties (and the City of Rockford) including ballot printing, election management, and voter registration software.… Continue Reading

Liberal Republicans like Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon are allowing our beautiful rural landscapes to be colonized by dystopian environmental hazards such as solar panels, wind turbines, and carbon pipelines. These projects destroy our property and freedom under the guise of saving the environment.
Imagine Norman Rockwell’s America now overrun by anti-environment wind turbines and solar panels. Much of that part of America is under Republican stewardship. Globalists need vast amounts of land to promote their “transition” to unworkable energy projects.… Continue Reading

There is good reason for Americans to be concerned about individuals from Afghanistan coming across our southern border.
When Gen. Michael Kurilla, commander of U.S. Central Command, testified in the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on March 7 he issued a warning about ISIS-K, a terrorist group based in Afghanistan.
“[V]arious groups in the Central Region retain the capability and will to target U.S. interests abroad in under six months with little to no warning,” Kurilla said in a written statement to the committee.

Another day, another vote-buying scheme from the Biden regime.
[Last] week, President Biden announced $7.7 billion in bailouts to 160,000 more people who owe money on their student loans. Never mind that the U.S. Supreme Court said he had no authority to shift the burden to taxpayers. Under this regime, the U.S. Constitution is Silly Putty.
Expecting people to repay loans for which they agreed to the terms is what Democrats might call “a threat to democracy.”… Continue Reading

First Liberty and legal experts around the country are sounding the alarm about the Biden administration’s recently proposed changes to Title IX.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a civil rights law that protects students from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. It was signed into law to give female athletes equal opportunity and treatment in sports, from elementary schools to colleges.… Continue Reading

Did you ever think you would see the day when Jewish students on elite college campuses were afraid to attend classes?
Pro-Hamas mobs have taken over. They have built tent cities and made it clear that Jews and anyone supporting Israel is an enemy.
At Columbia University, Israel-born Shai Davidai, an assistant professor at the business school, was told that his keycard was deactivated after he spoke at a pro-Israel rally.… Continue Reading

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a bipartisan, pro-Israel political action lobbying committee, has been endorsing members of Congress for years in a bid to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with Israel, America’s biggest ally and the only democracy in the Middle East.
AIPAC essentially raises millions of dollars by Jewish and Christian people and groups across the country, who want to see Israel protected.… Continue Reading
