Indeed, some analysts — such as the Argentine Agustín Laje — have argued that Brazil is experiencing a “judicial dictatorship” orchestrated by officials close to Lula, including the notorious Judge Alexandre de Moraes. Undoubtedly, despite the pressures, the Bolsonaro family emerged as the big winner of the first round. God willing, Flávio will win the runoff — and with him, the Western values that Brazil so urgently needs to restore and greatly benefit hemispheric security following four years of leftist rule and the rise of drug trafficking and organized crime.

The report, “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” found that the nation’s nine largest banks maintained policies that restricted banking services based on customers’ religious or political beliefs. In other words, Americans could be debanked because of what they believed. Family Research Council was among the organizations affected. Banks frequently justified such decisions by citing reputational risk. Apparently, doing business with pro-life organizations or religious groups that believe marriage is between a man and a woman was considered a threat to their reputation.
ADF has been deeply concerned about the rise of politicized debanking for years and has worked diligently to combat this unlawful behavior at every turn, including partnering with state legislators and federal officials to secure the fundamental freedoms of every American.
Amid unprecedented surveillance capabilities and clear algorithmic bias, these systems programmed by parties hostile to traditional American and Christian values are increasingly shaping young minds—and hence the future. And it is all happening with very little public discussion or scrutiny. The central question is no longer simply whether artificial intelligence can teach children more efficiently than human instructors. It is who controls the algorithms, whose values they transmit, and whether parents will retain authority over the intellectual and moral formation of their children. As AI assumes a growing role in education, those questions may prove far more important than standardized test scores.
Today's left does not tolerate any dissent in their march for absolute power. We saw very clearly during the Biden years, from COVID madness to social media bans and speech codes, to the relentless pursuit of President Trump, his family, and anyone who worked for him. Conservative Americans with traditional viewpoints who opposed abortion on demand, DEI, child sex mutilation, or transgenders frolicking on the White House lawn were targeted even more than we knew. We learned this week that former special counsel Jack Smith, who investigated President Trump during the Biden years, obtained the personal information of hundreds of thousands of Americans simply because they voted for Trump.
And not only does the universe look designed for life, but the very laws that allow everything to exist—the laws of nature and physics mentioned throughout the ScienceDaily article—are immaterial. How do immaterial laws of nature even evolve in a material universe? How do they come about and why do they remain constant and apply to everything, everywhere in a random, chance universe? Apart from the God of the Bible, it’s impossible to even explain the existence of these laws—let alone why they are so perfect for the flourishing of life! Whether they realize it or not, by doing this study these researchers are just confirming the truth of God’s Word.
It is a turning point at which settled concepts suddenly become hazy, lose their precise contours, at which our familiar and commonly used words lose their meaning, become empty shells.” Less than 50 years later, Solzhenitsyn’s fears have been realized. Our society, including its language, is crumbling around us. The English language has been corrupted and changed to be a shadow of its former self. We must be on guard against this decay in language and work to make sure we are properly understanding the world (and words) around us.
Vague definitions put anyone’s lawful speech at risk. Political advocacy, scientific discussion, journalism and religious teaching all lack clear protection in the draft. Church websites, parents’ groups and small community forums could be caught alongside global platforms, without the staff or resources to manage the compliance burden. Within these contexts, it is abundantly clear that this Bill is yet another attempt by the government to introduce what their failed 2024 Misinformation Bill couldn’t: a mechanism for the online censorship of voices opposed to their own and the ideologically-driven groups they’re beholden to.
The evidence from the JWST will continue to defy secular scientists’ predictions because they have the wrong worldview based on the wrong starting point. Instead of trusting the interpretations and storytelling of men and women who weren’t there, don’t know everything, and often make mistakes, we should believe the eyewitness account of history given to us by the God who was there, knows everything, and has never made a mistake.
A Biblical worldview recognizes that individuals bring dignity to families, communities, and societies. We are not cogs in a government-sponsored wheel, nor are we problems for the state to solve. When government controls food supply and distribution, employment and housing, citizens lose the ability to provide for themselves without bureaucrats’ permission. Consequently, the government can enslave its citizenry. It can seize your paycheck, your apartment, or your next meal. People who depend on the state for survival live at the will and convenience of their master. World history is littered with the incomprehensible death and destruction perpetrated by socialist regimes that gutted civilizations of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Incoming students at the University of Minnesota are being introduced to lessons on identity politics that characterize the Declaration of Independence as embodying “sexist policies,” according to a scoop from Libs of TikTok. The material appears in an onboarding module for new students. One section asks students to consider whether they knew that the Declaration of Independence “embodied sexist policies by excluding women in both its language and policies.”
The U.S. Supreme Court decided in favor of allowing states to use the Department of Homeland Security’s database to check registered voters’ citizenship. In a 6-3 per curiam decision (an opinion issued in the name of the Court and not an individual justice), the justices overturned an injunction from District Court Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Biden appointee, blocking states from using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system.
States may cross-check voter data for the 2026 election against a federal citizenship database, the U.S. Supreme Court said Friday in an emergency ruling (DHS v. League of Women Voters). According to federal law, the court said, “the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters.” The brief order was unsigned, but the three progressive judges publicly dissented.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Saturday that DHS is investigating 1,620 cases involving suspected illegal voting by noncitizens, with another 300,000 cases under review. Mullin disclosed the figures during an appearance on Fox News with Kayleigh McEnany, saying the number of cases being examined continues to increase as federal officials compare state voter-registration records against immigration and citizenship databases.
In our modern day, the inventive genius of man has perfected a machinery of communication which, through speeding up and extending the influence of information and ideas, has given propagandists an efficient system to bombard the masses with their message. However, the rise of generative AI has now filled the information space with a new, unique, and somewhat unwanted form of propaganda: "slopaganda."
According to the popular science article, “[The cave] was used by Denisovans for more than 100,000 years.” So for 100,000 years, these “early humans” simply lived in a cave, hunting and gathering with simple stone tools. For 100,000 years. They didn’t invent farming; they didn’t significantly increase their technology. They didn’t go and explore and settle new areas. They just lived in this cave, eating the same things and using the same tools, for millennia after millennia after millennia. Have you ever stopped and thought about what a ridiculous claim that is?
Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue displayed an “unserious approach to fraud prevention” in the 2024 election, concluded three committees of the U.S. House of Representatives in a report issued Wednesday. The Committee on House Administration, House Judiciary Committee, and House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform issued a third interim report on ActBlue’s fraud liability because more evidence of malpractice kept coming to light.
Among the posts drawing attention was a message Headen published on X in August 2024, shortly after then-Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. “I’m so excited! Ready for the MAGAs to die off!!” she wrote. Another post appeared to advocate an attack on US soil, specifically targeting states with large conservative populations. “I think our only hope is an attack on US Soil … preferably Alabama, Louisiana … where the stupid people live,” Headen wrote. Another post suggested Trump supporters belonged in concentration camps.
Let’s say you were walking along a beach and saw a message written in the sand: “Johnny, make sure you come home at 5:00 p.m. for dinner. See you then. I love you. Mom.” Could you ever believe that the order of the words happened by a random process—by sheer accident? Could you conclude that perhaps the incoming waves left the words written in the sand? I seriously doubt it. Their very order and their constructed logical coherency tell you that the message was written by an intelligent mind. However, atheistic evolution takes an even greater leap away from common sense than just believing that a wave created a logical message...
It’s not possible to say that Talarico has moderated any of his views based on the statements made in this interview, but they are illuminating all the same. As a politician trying to win an election in challenging territory, he is executing the strategy of pivoting to the center. He understands how damaging these past radical statements on gender and sexuality are, and he is trying to erect a hasty shield to protect himself from incoming fire. Talarico may not have changed his beliefs, but he has certainly felt the heat.
Have you ever noticed that there is a predictable pattern used by the media to introduce moral panic throughout a nation’s population? Enemies are cast, fear and anger swell, and swift retribution against the offending party is demanded. Of course, like any good tale, it begins with a villain. Christianity is the folk devil of the day, the media gets ahold of a story, distorted the message and provoked outrage in the community.
A UC Irvine lecturer is under scrutiny after allegedly posting comments about a planned appearance by conservative journalist Nick Shirley that critics say appeared to invoke the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
No false gospel is complete without a false god—something humans set up in God’s place as the authority for truth. Though Marx (and many of his followers) espoused atheism, Marxism still harbors such false gods. One is the Marxist ideology itself, which communist regimes have revered as the ultimate “truth” to which people must conform. Two other interrelated false gods are the State and the People. Marx thought the State would be a temporary dictatorship comprised of the working class after their revolution. In theory, the State would eventually “wither away,” leaving the People to rule themselves as their own collective “god.”
“Selling immigration benefits for cash is a blatant abuse of public trust,” United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould said. “When a federal official puts a price tag on lawful status, we will intervene immediately. Public corruption will never be tolerated in the Northern District of Texas.”
There is a dangerous temptation in American politics to believe that every political problem can be solved by winning one more vote. If the Supreme Court issues decisions that a political party dislikes, why not simply change the number of justices and appoint new ones? Congress has the constitutional authority to determine the size of the Court, after all. Why not use that authority?
Investigative journalist Nick Shirley, whose reporting exposed government waste, fraud and harmful immigration policies, filed a lawsuit challenging a California law that criminalizes publishing images of or personal information about immigration support services providers.
Modern transhumanists are saying to the Lord of life, “Actually, I can do better.” We know God has condemned such impulses, for He condemned Satan for tempting Eve when he told her, “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). This may sound extreme, but it’s the kind of thinking that undergirds much of the transhumanist movement. Do Christians really support these goals? At what point does the desire to overcome the effects of the Fall go too far? It’s hard to say. Drawing a hard line between healing and enhancement will not be easy. But the question is important because human beings should not try to meddle with their very nature.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the vote was meant to draw a clear line against court-packing efforts, warning that expanding the bench would turn the judiciary into another political battleground. “We will keep the nine,” Johnson said ahead of the vote, arguing that the nine-justice model has served the country well and should not be altered to satisfy partisan frustrations with recent Supreme Court rulings.
Giovanni Galante’s wife, Grace, was 29 and working on the 105th floor of the North Tower on 9/11. This summer he launched a petition asking the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to keep Mamdani out of the official 25th-anniversary ceremony. The petition doesn’t argue that a Muslim mayor is unfit because he is Muslim but that this particular mayor’s associations—and his way of talking about that horrid day—make his presence a wound rather than a tribute. “For 9/11 families,” Galante wrote, “this is not simply a public ceremony—it is a deeply personal day of mourning. The presence of individuals whose words or associations are perceived as conflicting with the solemn purpose of the event risks detracting from that focus and causing additional pain.”
What happens when people see themselves as by-products of chance rather than design? What happens to their children and to their civilization? Communism happens. Totalitarianism happens. Freedom fades. Violence increases. Purpose and meaning disappear. Romans 1:18 says, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”
Tennessee Attorney General and Reporter Jonathan Skrmetti (R) plans to file “more litigation” against social media companies whose addictive platforms are harming children, he announced Thursday in an interview on “Washington Watch.” Skrmetti and his team helped lead a nationwide investigation against Meta, which resulted in the parent company of Facebook and Instagram reaching an unprecedented settlement.
The Trump administration is preparing a major tax crackdown targeting several prominent left-leaning nonprofit organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), according to an exclusive report by the New York Post.
The scoffers of our day claim that we interpret prophecy with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other. In other words, they argue that the news of our day determines what we believe about Bible prophecy. However, Jesus instructed us to watch for His coming, which necessitates evaluating current events in the light of what Scripture says about the last days. Might that also include recognizing the role that modern technology will play in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy? I think so.
