“Governor Newsom’s signing of AB 1955 is a direct assault on the safety of children and the rights of their parents. By allowing schools to withhold vital information from mothers and fathers, this bill undermines their fundamental role and places boys and girls in potential jeopardy”

“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday, “as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.

“The Bible is a necessary historical document,” Walters said in an announcement, “to teach our kids about the history of this country, to have a complete understanding of Western civilization, to have an understanding of the basis of our legal system, and is, frankly … one of the most foundational documents used for the Constitution and the birth of our country.”

An Iraqi Christian wife and mother, Elvin Joseph, has been ordered by an Iraqi court to convert to Islam, along with her three children, based on the nation’s Personal Status Law.
