Two Christian teachers, Lori Ann West and Elizabeth Mirabelli, were placed on administrative leave in May of 2023 for their opposition to Rincon Middle School's transgender policies. The teachers were represented by the Thomas More Society in a lawsuit against district administrators and the California Board of Education.

There is a war on men that is affecting their development, behaviors, and priorities. They are being taught that their inherent nature does not fit within a biblical ethic.

A new documentary is exposing the horrors that the transgender movement wreaks upon men, as well as the social and medical-industrial conditions that have led to those horrors. The Center for Bioethics and Culture Network released "The Lost Boys: Searching for Manhood" this week, featuring interviews with numerous men in both the U.S. and the U.K. who have undergone gender transition procedures, in addition to leading psychologists in the field of gender dysphoria.

Ten weeks ago, I wrote of a November 4 protest at the White House in which a pro-Hamas mob "cursed the U.S. president, waved the flag of a foreign adversary, and endeavored to breach the White House compound." No one was held accountable for that vile display of hate and anti-Semitism, even from the president ostensibly committed to the extermination of these evils. So, in the least surprising development ever, the pro-terrorism protest happened again this Saturday, only bigger and bolder - and again with no consequences.

As I read through, I found that C.S. Lewis's "Screwtape Letters" touched on several ways the enemy attacks believers that are heavily relevant today. For instance, Screwtape said to Wormwood, "Certainly we do not want men to allow their Christianity to flow over into their political life." Naturally, as a Christian whose career is quite literally to have her Christianity flow into her political life (and to encourage others to do the same), this single line stood out to me. A lot.

A large percentage of Americans don't know or outright disagree that marriage builds stronger families and is linked to better well-being for children, according to the annual American Family Survey. This is despite the fact that such benefits have been proven time and again. These attitudes may be due in part to nearly half of all U.S. children today spending at least part of their childhood in a non-intact family.

When considering the LGBT alphabet, I'm sure a lot comes to mind. On this, there are many factors to consider. First, as believers, we need to know what God's Word says to accurately convey it in the public square. Second, as believers, we need to know what God's Word says to appropriately behave in a way that serves as a witness to Christ, even amid the chaos of the public square.

Eight months after anonymously blowing the whistle on Texas Children's Hospital's (TCH) transgender program, a surgeon has gone public with a tale of relentless persecution by the Biden administration. Dr. Eithan Haim would have preferred to remain anonymous, but he said the Biden administration's "blatant attempt at political intimidation" forced him to go public, after a federal criminal investigation buried him and his wife in $250,000 of legal fees without ever filing charges.

With nothing but three years of failure to campaign on, President Biden has made it clear that he intends to use January 6 as the theme of his reelection bid. The first evidence of that was his speech in Charleston on Monday, when he told the audience, "Let me say what others cannot: We must reject political violence in America. Always. Not sometimes - always." Conservatives agree - we just didn't wait until January 6 to say so.

President

The state of Ohio has taken the first step to overturn the Republican governor's veto of a bill that protects children from permanently harmful transgender procedures and assures privacy and fairness for female athletes. Conservatives praised the action, while Democratic opponents accused its supermajority of promoting "a political, hateful agenda" due to "money given by radical Christian groups." One Democrat screamed, "You are literally killing our children!"

There was a time when parents sent their kids off to school assuming they'd be safe - from violence, from dangerous ideas, from people undermining their authority.  But those days are over, and too many families are finding out the hard way.

After a week of angry outbursts and threats, cooler heads may have prevailed in Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) Thursday meeting with Republicans. That would be a relief, considering that the first few days of 2024 haven't exactly been a joyride for the Louisianan, who's struggling to find a sweet spot on government spending that wins over his insatiable, wafer-thin majority. It's a painful exercise in the challenges of the job, which only seems to be getting more difficult with the unrealistic expectations of his party.
