(Life News) Is religious freedom more secure in America today than ever before? Many Christians observing our increasingly secular culture would balk at the claim, but it’s exactly what New York Times opinion columnist and longtime religious freedom advocate David French thinks.   In a video recently posted by Phil Vischer’s Holy Post, French asked if Christians really were persecuted in the U.S. and if religious

(Harbinger’s Daily) With the election mere weeks away, California Pastor Jack Hibbs did something rarely seen behind most pulpits in 2024—he issued an urgent call for Christians to vote. Hibbs’ message on Sunday, titled “When Christians Fail to Vote,” sought to be a wake-up call to the ramifications of the church sitting out the election—challenging both the pulpits and the

(Washington Stand) Political campaigns all too often come down to one memorable moment: Nixon’s debate with JFK, Reagan asking if Americans are better off today than four years ago, Bush promising “no new taxes,” or Trump descending a golden escalator. Two rallies — and three events — over the last week presented a series of revelatory moments that should burn

(Harbinger’s Daily) The truth is that although we like to claim that ours is a Christian nation, that is no longer demonstrably true. An argument can be made that we were founded upon Christian principles and once aspired to Christian ideals (albeit imperfectly throughout our national history). But that is no longer the case. When our president makes the unfettered

(Faith & Freedom) In June, the New York Times warned their shrinking secular progressive readership that Oklahoma was planning to bring the Bible into the classroom to be included with other teaching materials this school year. NYT: “Oklahoma’s state superintendent on Thursday directed all public schools to teach the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, in an extraordinary move that blurs

(Faith & Freedom) In a sign of either hope or desperation, Portland, Oregon, voters decided to abolish their entire government structure and replace it with a weaker mayor, expanded City Council, and ranked-choice voting. Secular progressivism has been Portland’s pride, but now the city is in chaos, with 19 people running for mayor and 98 people seeking seats on the

(Washington Stand) A majority of practicing Christians, including pastors, admit to viewing pornography and a large share say they are comfortable with the habit, a new study has found. In Barna’s recently released researched report, Beyond the Porn Phenomenon, produced in partnership with Pure Desire Ministries, researchers found that pornography use is so prevalent among all demographics and the gap in use

(Life News) During Kamala Harris’s interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson on Tuesday evening, the subject of abortion came up. Unsurprisingly, Harris came out in strongly favor of legal abortion. She criticized President Trump’s Supreme Court appointees and said we need to “restore the protections of Roe v. Wade.” However, when asked if she would be willing to make

(Washington Stand) Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who serves as the medical director for the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, has been conducting research on “transgender health” for nearly a decade as part of a larger federal project. Over the years, Olson-Kennedy has received $9.7 million in taxpayer money from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

(Harbinger’s Daily) To “psych out” means to insinuate a sense of intimidation into the cognitive process. At least that term encompasses the achieved ramification to my way of intended meaning. There are a plethora of examples, but here are just a few: Bobby Fisher, an undefeated chess champion in the early 1970s, was a reclusive, thus an unknown player who

(The Jerusalem Post) Authorities in Tehran released a blood-splattered mural depicting photos of Israeli hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 with the text “no hostage will be released” in Hebrew, Iran International and local media reported. The mural was reportedly put up in Tehran’s Palestine Square on Tuesday, according to Tehran Times. Authorities in Tehran municipality have unveiled a

(The Kootenai Journal) Judge Clark Peterson appears to be in the hot seat again, this time due a local woman’s awareness campaign about his known and alleged misconduct in the hopes that voters in Kootenai County will remove him during the 2024 General Election. Currently, Peterson is the fourth longest sitting magistrate judge in Idaho’s First Judicial District. He was

(Harbinger’s Daily) While the world is thinking in one direction, it is imperative that you and I wash our minds and think differently about sexuality, family, finances, priorities, and life. In a powerful quote, CS Lewis rightfully attributes the impact of men and women who have made lasting changes on the earth to the fact that they thought differently than

(PJ Media) If you click on the HillFaith website — and I encourage you to do so early and often, as they used to say about voting in Chicago — you will find a new regular feature, Faith of the Founders (FOTF), which I devoutly hope the thousands of regular visitors to the site, including especially those who are congressional

(Washington Stand) At a time when Americans feel more divided than ever, influential members of the Democratic Party seek to undermine one of the Constitution’s greatest provisions assuring national unity: They want to abolish the Electoral College. Although many see the institution as a throwback to premodern times, the Electoral College still accomplishes the Founding Fathers’ will of seeing that

(Life News) Americans may not agree on much, but they agree on this: we’re at a pivotal moment. Exactly how pivotal depends on who you ask. After all, our country’s had its share of challenges in its relatively young existence. We’ve survived a civil war, segregation, the Great Depression, two World Wars, presidential assassinations, natural disasters, national tragedies, terror attacks,

(Harbinger’s Daily) The pro-abortion lobby is anti-women (and pro-death and anti-life). Now, why do I say that? After all, they style themselves as compassionate supporters of choice for women, protecting the “rights” of women to do whatever they want with their own bodies. Of course, that’s all just rhetoric—carefully chosen euphemisms to cover up that abortion is really the intentional

(Washington Stand) A newly released Gallup poll has found that the level of trust that Americans place in mainstream media has reached yet another new low. The survey revealed that just 31% of respondents say they have a “‘great deal’ or ‘fair amount’ of confidence in the mass media [defined as “newspapers, TV and radio”] to report the news ‘fully,

(RedState) If you’re a public university administrator at an institution which was just ordered by a federal judge to not “knowingly allow or facilitat[e] the exclusion of Jewish students from ordinarily available portions” of the school’s programs, facilities, and activities, and which was just accused in a separate lawsuit of violating its students’ First Amendment rights by blocking a student

(Daily Wire) University of Nevada, Reno, is facing backlash over its refusal to support its women’s volleyball team, which had announced it would not be playing against San Jose State University’s women’s team because of its trans-identifying male player. It started when the UNR women’s volleyball team released a statement that made it the fifth university to forfeit its game

(Harbinger’s Daily) While Kamala Harris’s numbers are starting to come back to earth after a disastrous vice presidential debate, things have never looked better for the Californian’s campaign. As much as people have come to rely on the ebbs and flows of public opinion, longtime strategists know that there’s a better predictor of how Democrats will do — and that’s the

(Washington Stand) American citizens are rushing to the assistance of their countrymen impacted by Hurricane Helene, but Democrats and the federal government are halting assistance, all while illegal immigrants are given taxpayer dollars. The hurricane has carved a 500-mile swath of destruction across Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, parts of Tennessee, and Virginia, with rural North Carolina having been

(Townhall) As Madeline covered on Tuesday, Do No Harm, a healthcare watchdog, published a first-of-its-kind database exposing the major U.S. hospitals and their physicians that perform bodily mutilation procedures on minors and prescribe them chemically castrating drugs in the name of so-called “gender affirmation.” Researchers at Do No Harm aggregated and analyzed thousands of insurance claims from across all 50

(The Federalist) Pro-Hamas demonstrators took to the streets on Monday to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Iranian-backed terrorist group’s attack on Israel that left roughly 1,200 civilians dead. In New York City, protestors reportedly blocked streets while waiving Palestinian flags and signs. The Washington Free Beacon’s Jessica Costescu documented one man wearing a shirt with what appears to be

(Washington Stand) Andrew Brunson understands what it feels like to be persecuted. After 25 years of being a pastor in Turkey, he was falsely charged with espionage and spent over two years in prison. Being a pastor, “I thought I was ready” to face persecution, Brunson said. But he’ll be the first to confess he was, in fact, not ready
