On Thursday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified at a hearing of the House Appropriations Committee regarding the State Department's 2024 budget. In one particularly revealing interaction, Blinken was asked about a State Department grant that was approved for an LGBT project in Ecuador and a grant offer in Botswana.

This week, at Family Policy Alliance's SoConCon Social Conservative Policy Conference, TWS's Joy Stockbauer sat down with Lori Kuykendall, president of Beacon Health Education Resources. In this conversation, we explore how her organization is fighting back against exploitative progressive sexual education curricula - and teaching kids about the beauty of God's creation.

On a recent panel at Family Policy Alliance's SoConCon Social Conservative Policy Conference, Family Research Council hosted a discussion between detransitioners Chloe Cole and Walt Heyer as well as FRC's director of the Center for Biblical Worldview, David Closson. The panel, titled "From Woodstock to Bostock: Is the Sexual Revolution Derailing?" centered on the roots of gender ideology - both in the culture due to the influence of the sexual revolution and in the personal lives of those taken in by gender ideology.

Sterilization, electric shock torture, and brainwashing are hallmarks of the Chinese Communist Party's treatment of the Uyghur people, according to prison camp survivors. "Genocide is occurring. This time at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party," Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., said at the start of the Select Committee on the CCP hearing Thursday night.

There may be a "Glam-boni" at the Chicago Blackhawks' game this Sunday, but there won't be a parade of Pride jerseys. Incredibly, management in a fourth NHL city has called off the special warm-ups, proving to everyone in pro sports that this isn't just a one-off. This is a movement - and it's changing everything.

This week, at Family Policy Alliance's SoConCon Social Conservative Policy Conference, TWS's Joy Stockbauer sat down with Erin Brewer, co-founder and president of Advocates Protecting Children. This nonprofit organization is "dedicated to fighting the gender industry, and especially its predation on children in the form of unethical social and medical transition for the sake of political and financial profit."

Like most grandmothers, Carolyn Pettiford thought she was done raising children. A horrible February night in 2022 changed that. Her daughter, Ashley, had been parked on the street when a man walked up, leaned into the car, and fired a gun twice. When police arrived, they found Ashley and her boyfriend dead, and Carolyn's terrified five-year-old grandson alive, but shot badly in the face in the backseat. "He's a pretty strong kid," Carolyn says. But "to have to tell a five-year-old that he won't be able to talk to his mother... it's hard." There are 20,138 families like Carolyn's who lost someone to gun violence last year. And while everyone's stories are different, they all have one thing in common.

Turns out, the rainbow-colored sushi wasn't the biggest buzz at San Jose's "shark tank" Saturday night. Unfortunately for the NHL, neither was the team's Pride Night. What was supposed to be a return to the league's woke normal managed to prove that - at least for some players - there's no going back.

The Department of Justice "extensively colluded" with a special interest group to "manufacture" a supposedly sweeping threat against school personnel posed by parents, a House Subcommittee interim staff report has found. Experts say the findings further confirm what DOJ officials have denied - that the government worked behind the scenes to undermine a grassroots movement of outspoken parents concerned about their children being exposed to controversial racial and gender theories and mask mandates at school.

Seventy-two percent of Americans say we're headed in the wrong direction under President Biden's leadership. I am one of them, and it's pretty likely you are too. In Oklahoma, and much of the nation, everyday life is harder and less safe under President Biden's economy and policies. 

You won't find many fans of the Pentagon's radical new abortion policy among the 200 senior officers waiting on their promotions. Those celebrations are on hold, thanks to the GOP's outrage over the Defense Department's latest power grab. If the president wants to turn our Armed Forces into an "abortion travel agency" without consulting Congress, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) warned, then Republicans will make it hurt.
