Marxism Versus The Family
Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote those words in 1848. But the same Marxist philosophy infects America's powerful teacher unions and leftist officials at all levels of government. Communism was devoted to building a "New Man," and Marx and Engels saw the nuclear family as an obstacle. Today's Marxists still believe the same thing.

Show Me State Shows The Way
Pro-family advocates scored a significant victory in Missouri recently. Here’s why it matters. The state passed a ban on so-called “gender affirm care” for children in June. These radical medical procedures are neither “affirming” nor are they health care. They involve powerful sterilizing drugs and extreme surgical procedures in vain attempts to deny biological reality.

Coach Joe Kennedy’s SCOTUS Victory a Religious Liberty Win for All
In this week's episode, Gary Bauer reflects on the story of former Bremerton High School assistant coach Joe Kennedy whose name made national news in 2015 when he was fired for praying on the field after football games. Kennedy stood tall, fighting his way all the way to the Supreme Court. The court ruled that his religious freedoms had indeed been violated. The school district was forced to pay fines and backpay, and was required to rehire him for his former role. The big takeaway, says Bauer, is that one brave individual hero won back religious liberty for us all. For this, there is reason for every Christian in America to celebrate and understand that you have more power than you know.
