(Washington Stand) A local school board president has been inundated with threats that left-wing activists will dismember her, murder her children, and slaughter her pets. Her crime? Saying that teachers should not keep parents in the dark if their children begin to identify as transgender. The new Chino Valley (California) Unified School District Board of Education policy states that school

(Redoubt News) Bonner County Commission (BOCC) Chairman Steven Bradshaw never fails to show everyone his contempt for the public.

(Daily Signal) The Southern Poverty Law Center just released a report claiming there are 1,225 hate and anti-government groups in America. These groups cause “fear and pain [in] black, brown, and LGBTQ communities.” The SPLC lists such groups on its “hate map.” I once believed the center. Well-meaning people still do. Apple once gave them $1 million. But what donors

(WND) A movement for state groups to “ditch” the American Library Association over its leadership by a “Marxist” is surging, according to a report at The Federalist. Already, the Montana State Library Commission has left the organization, and now other states are joining the movement. Libraries across the nation have been under fire in recent years for their promotion of

(Daily Wire) Following pressure from Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) — including the threat of a $1.5 million fine and legal “repercussions” — a Southern California school district has reversed course to adopt a state-approved curriculum the school board initially rejected. Three newly-elected board members for the Temecula Valley Unified School District — Joseph Komrosky, Jen Wiersma, and Danny Gonzalez — have been

(Washington Stand) “We don’t want to be held hostage by whatever it is that you guys are doing,” interjected a female representative.

The committee

(Idaho Freedom Foundation) The Superintendent of Blaine County School District (BCSD), Jim Foudy, obfuscated facts about the presence of a sexually explicit book in the elementary school library.

(The Federalist) The First Amendment’s mandate that “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech” is a guarantee that, no matter how inconvenient to those temporarily holding high office, the people have an absolute right to express their thoughts and opinions.

(Dr. Bret Shillingstad, MD) My family and I moved here a few years ago anxious to leave the liberal domination of Madison, Wisconsin and be back out west where I was raised.  We have loved our time in the mountains and meeting our neighbors who have become good friends.  The COVID  plandemic opened the public’s eyes about the control of

(Daily Caller) The Montana State Library (MSL) Commission voted Tuesday to leave the largest national library association in the country over concerns about its “Marxist lesbian” president. In June, the Montana State Library Commissioner Tom Burnett suggested that the commission meet in July to vote on whether it will stay in the American Library Association (ALA) following a resurfaced tweet

(RedState) One reason the Left is having conniption fits is because the film is building not only awareness about child trafficking and what must be done to blunt its impact but it also gives Ballard an even larger megaphone to talk about his work. In an interview with Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neill, Caviezel and Tim Ballard discuss the film’s power

(Daily Wire) A national mass surveillance system boosted by artificial intelligence (AI) took root in another state. The town council of Jackson, Wyoming, agreed in a close vote last month to install the 30 solar-powered license plate recognition (LPR) cameras along their streets and traffic lights, which feeds into a centralized surveillance system managed by the private company Flock Safety.

(Daily Wire) This week, the California Assembly’s Public Safety Committee blocked a bill that would have made human trafficking of a minor a serious felony.

(Idaho Tribune) The theatres at Hayden Cinemas have been absolutely PACKED for the past week, as North Idahoans flood the box office to watch Jim Caviezel’s new film Sound Of Freedom.

(Washington Stand) A federal court in Texas recently threw out a petition filed by The Satanic Temple (TST) to allow abortions as a religious ritual protected by the right to religious liberty. Although the case was rejected due to lack of standing and not on the merits of the case itself, the subject does raise an interesting question: Is Satanism

(Daily Caller) A California school suspended two kids for five days after they “misgendered” a transgender teacher and forced them to attend a “restorative justice” training as punishment, according to an email obtained by GUSD Parents’ Voices, an organization advocating for students within the school system.

(The Federalist) In a preliminary injunction issued against the White House and federal agencies on Tuesday in Missouri v. Biden, Judge Terry Doughty eviscerated government actors for colluding with social media companies to censor users’ protected speech in the name of eliminating “misinformation.” Doughty, as others have done, compares the government censorship to Orwell’s hypothetical “Ministry of Truth.” But Orwell’s

(Life News) A federal court in Texas rejected “persecution” claims by The Satanic Temple this week in a lawsuit challenging pro-life laws that protect unborn babies from abortion.

However, the U.S.

(The Federalist) The Supreme Court’s Thursday decision in Students for Fair Admissions v.

(Washington Stand) I really didn’t want to see this movie. Does anyone want to see a movie about horrific crimes against children and the systems that support or fail to stop child sex trafficking?

(Daily Signal) On the Fourth of July, a federal judge condemned the Biden administration’s collusion with Big Tech companies to suppress Americans’ free speech as “similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’” and issued a historic order temporarily blocking the federal government from pressuring tech companies to stifle speech. “It is fitting that the judge granted a first-of-its-kind injunction on

(Washington Stand) For 15 years leading up to June 26, 2015, when the Supreme Court announced its decision in Obergefell v. Hodges to legalize same-sex marriage, Family Research Council (FRC) consistently sounded the alarm in the public square, letting Americans know that legalizing same-sex marriage would not just affect couples getting married but all of society. Public policy impacts society

(Daily Signal) Progressives were whipped into quite the frenzy over the decision by Moms for Liberty, a parental rights group, to hold its Joyful Warriors National Summit right here in the Birthplace of America.
