The Center for Disease Control's (CDC) credibility is eroding quickly as left-wing LGBTQ ideology replaces science and medicine. The CDC now claims that "transgender" or "non-binary" people can safely "chest feed" their babies.
A recent article about faith in America grabbed my attention. According to Gallup, church attendance in America is still below pre-pandemic levels, and down significantly from the historical norm.
Our religious liberty and our freedom of speech both won a big victory at the Supreme Court in one decision announced on June 30. The court, in the case 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis, ruled 6 to 3 that Colorado cannot force a Christian website designer to create websites celebrating same-sex marriage.
A new Fox News poll has produced some stunning and disturbing results. For the first time in the history of the survey, fewer than half of the American people (43%) believe our country's best days are still ahead of us. Forty-eight percent believe our best days are in the past. The decline in optimism about the future has been dramatic. The percentage of Americans believing the best is yet to come was 63% in 2012, 62% in 2017, and 52% in 2021 before declining to 43% today.
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer walks listeners through a PG-rated recap of "Pride Month" that featured R and X-rated parades, where entirely nude men and women danced around, some simulating sex acts from floats, under the innocent gaze of young children. If this weren't hideous enough, President Biden held a pride event at the White House where a transgender activist guest (a man who has transitioned to a woman) repeatedly exposed his new breasts to young people and the press. Following public outrage, the White House eventually expressed regret for the incident and banned this individual from future government-sponsored events. All this debauchery is against the law, but for "Pride Month," law enforcement looks the other way. Lastly, there are adult educators in schools that are preying on youngsters who are confused about their sexuality by coaching them that they can change their sex. All this without parental consent! Moms, dads, and grandparents, we especially invite you to listen to this critically important podcast today.
LGBTQ pride month 2023 is shaping up to be one of the most controversial ever. Several U.S. corporations, including Anheuser Busch and Target, are facing significant boycotts because of LGBTQ+ themed marketing efforts that offended many of their customers. The L.A. Dodgers found themselves in well-deserved "hot-water" when they honored a "drag queen" group that mocks Catholic nuns and Jesus.
Do the American people prefer abortion on demand or "a woman's right to choose," as the abortion industry and their political allies describe it? Over the last year, since Roe v. Wade was thankfully overturned, a narrative has taken root that it is a political liability to be pro-life and in favor of legal restrictions on abortion.
As citizens of the United States of America, we enjoy so many freedoms and liberties that we dare not take for granted. On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer interviews Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, about the ideals and principles upon which our great nation was founded. Let us never forget that our founding fathers leaned heavily on God and their Judeo-Christian heritage as they completed the final draft of the Declaration of Independence 247 years ago. It is the very reason why we, as Americans, can and do celebrate the 4th of July and call our nation “the land of the free!”
This is a great week at the Supreme Court for religious liberty and freedom of speech. The Court ruled today that a Christian business owner couldn’t be forced to produce website content that violated her sincerely held religious beliefs.
A UN "expert" is urging faith-based communities in the U.S. and around the world to surrender to the demands of the LGBTQ+ lobby. Victor Madrigal-Borloz made the demand in a major speech to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
