Protecting Kids: Gay is Good, the Bible is Bad?

MSNBC is so far left-wing that it is virtually impossible for anyone with an open mind to watch it. Nearly every commentator and "reporter" on the network has promoted an explicitly LGBTQ+ curriculum, even in elementary schools. They regularly attack conservative and Christian parents who want to protect their children from left-wing indoctrination.

Berlin 1930’s or U.S. Universities 2024?

American Jewish students must be wondering if some warped time machine has transported them from modern America back to pre-war Germany. In 1930's Germany, as Nazism began to infect the populace, Jews increasingly lived in fear. Even German universities became hotbeds of raw hatred against Jews, further proving that "education" is no antidote for evil—only good can overcome evil.

Grotesque Orgy of Antisemitism in America an Alarming First

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the James Dobson Family Institute, Bauer discusses the alarming trend toward antisemitism in American cities and prestigious Ivy League schools with special guest and Middle East policy expert, Tom Rose. The two define these recent pro-Hamas, anti-Israel/anti-American protests as "a grotesque orgy of antisemitism," the likes of which have never been seen in America before. Rose, speaking from Israel, describes how recent statements from President Joe Biden, where he equated the fight against antisemitism with the war against Hamas, were received by Israelis. Rose says people in Israel found the President's remarks to be utterly dumbfounding and incredibly disappointing.

Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, has found another profit center.

Biden’s War on Women

The Biden administration hopes the abortion issue will lead to his re-election in November. Women voters may want to think twice, however. Late last Friday, the administration declared war on women by distorting and destroying Title IX, a landmark 1972 law that bans sex discrimination in any school that receives federal funding. Title IX guarantees equal treatment for women in every aspect of education from the classroom to sports. Feminists hailed its passage 52 years ago, but the law may have a fatal omission that the Biden administration just drove a truckload of "wokeness" through: It didn't define what a woman is.

Religious Left Smears Christian Conservatives

As we have repeatedly warned, there is a deliberate effort to intimidate, shame, smear, and even threaten conservative Christians out of the political and public policy arena. It is understandable that the radical, secular Left would want to do that. But it is outrageous that some so-called "progressive Christians" are lending their support to this effort.

Stand With Israel

We thank God that the April 13th missile and drone attack on Israel, by the Islamic Republic of Iran, failed. Many of the 300 missiles and drones were destroyed by Israel's Iron Dome defense system or by U.S. and Israeli jets. But the failure of the attack does not erase its significance. For the first time, Iran has launched an attack directly from its own territory on Israel, instead of using its proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
