Trump Designates Fentanyl A ‘Weapon Of Mass Destruction’

Following an alarming rise in fentanyl deaths in recent years, President Donald Trump is taking another step in cracking down on the deadly drug seeping its way onto American streets by designating it a weapon of mass destruction. The president signed the executive order Monday during an event in the Oval Office, saying the illicit drug “is closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic.”

Brown University Shooting Claims College Republican’s Life

Another horrific tragedy has struck the nation, just months after the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. A gunman opened fire inside Brown University’s Barus & Holley building in Providence, Rhode Island, on Saturday afternoon, killing two and wounding at least nine others. Officials initially announced that a suspect was taken into custody late Saturday, but released the individual on Sunday morning. At present, a manhunt is underway for the shooter.

California’s Newsom Doubles Down on Trans Promotion

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), also a potential 2028 presidential candidate, boasted about his promotion of transgenderism during a recent appearance on “The Ezra Klein Show.” “There’s no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation than I have,” he bragged. “No one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ community.” Even more striking was his blunt statement that he wants “to see trans kids.”

Australia Bans Kids Under 16 Years Old From Social Media

Australia began enforcing the world’s first social media ban on Wednesday. The novel policy, which the Australian legislature passed last year, prohibits people under 16 years old from accessing social media. Platforms including Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Twitch, X, and YouTube must verify their users’ ages or face millions of dollars in fines.

North Carolina Backs Down On Ban Of Church Ads On Buses

“The First Amendment grants all Americans the right to express their point of view, religious or secular,” said First Liberty Senior Counsel Ryan Gardner. “Rejecting a faith-based advertising banner yet accepting other secular ads is clearly hypocritical, discriminatory, and illegal. We are thankful the City reversed course and will allow New Life Christian Center to run its advertisement.”

Court Upholds Trump Ban on ‘Transgender’ Service Members

The order properly explained, "This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria. This policy is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual’s sex."

Pro-Life Billboards Set Off Canadian Speech Debate

Pro-life billboards in West Kelowna, British Columbia, are scheduled to come down at the end of their contract following a fight with pro-abortion activists. The billboards—which state, “All lives are precious”—were purchased from B.C. Billboards by the Kelowna Right to Life Society and stand along Route 97, just 120 miles north of the American-Canadian border.

US Seizes Sanctioned Tanker Moving Venezuelan and Iranian Oil, Triggering Sharp Rise in Tensions

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed late Wednesday that federal agents executed a seizure warrant on the vessel—identified as The Skipper—off the coast of Venezuela. “For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,” Bondi said on X.

Protestors Arrested for Opposing Puberty Blockers Take Legal Action Against Brussels Authorities

“Puberty blockers, and the cross-sex hormones that so often follow them, are highly dangerous drugs that can cause long-lasting damage to children—impacting their bodily development, bone density, mental health, lifelong fertility, and more,” explained Miller. “It is scandalous to expose children to these drugs, and it is scandalous to silence and jail those who speak out about it. No one should fear arrest for defending children’s safety.”

Poll Reveals Widespread Ignorance Amongst Americans About The Abortion Pills And Its Dangers

“I believe that Americans generally care about the health and well-being of women,” she said. “Unfortunately, the pro-life movement is up against the abortion lobby, which pours endless dollars into messaging campaigns designed to frame abortion as female empowerment. In reality, abortion dehumanizes and harms women and ultimately kills their children. It is vital that we continue speaking up and educating our neighbors about the truth of abortion.”

Russia’s Bid for a Red Sea Stronghold: Sudan’s Secret Base Deal Ignites Global Alarm

Sudan’s military rulers have quietly offered Russia its first-ever African naval base—an arrangement that would hand the Kremlin a powerful strategic foothold over the Red Sea, one of the world’s most critical and contested trade arteries—according to a Wall Street Journal exclusive.

Chick-Fil-A Waffles On Wokeness With Same-Sex Marriage Post And DEI Focus

While most of corporate America wisely took the temperature of angry consumers and backed away from woke politics, one shocking holdout remains: Chick-fil-A. The beloved fast-food franchise, who’s best known for its Christian ownership and family-centric policies, is quietly still condoning a message that is radically at odds with the biblical values that most people associate them with — including same-sex marriage.

Appeals Court Hears Case of Pastor Removed from Police Board for Christian Beliefs

“We had a very interactive panel of judges who engaged with Pastor Hodges’ legal arguments,” Fleischer said. “Even the government’s attorney effectively conceded the core of our position. When asked whether there were any limits—such as if a mayor might refuse to reappoint someone simply because of disagreement with their religious beliefs—she responded, ‘It would depend on whether there was a nexus between religious tenants and politics.’ In this case, there was no nexus. Pastor Hodges was removed not because of anything he did or how he carried out his duties, but solely because of his Biblical worldview.”

Under The Microscope: How Communist Nations Persecute Christians Through Intense Scrutiny, Red Tape

In an attempt to slow the growth of Christianity, each of the world’s five communist nations severely restricts the flow of funding into Christian churches and implements stringent requirements for churches to operate within their borders.

Supreme Court Hears Arrested Evangelist’s Case

Olivier paused preaching in the area after COVID shut down the amphitheater’s concerts, but in May 2021, he returned to share the Gospel. At first, he evangelized in the designated zone but then eventually moved outside the area to preach because the zone isolated him from speaking to crowds. After he was arrested and fined, Olivier filed suit against the city, arguing that the ordinance violated his First and 14th Amendment rights.

‘God Is So Good’: Franklin Graham Dedicates New Home in North Carolina

During the ceremony, the couple received an invoice with the words “PAID IN FULL” printed across it in large red letters–a framed document presented to families that confirms the house is a free gift and serves as a reminder of God’s love through Jesus Christ.

Judge Blocks Planned Parenthood Defunding – Again

As part of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which was signed on July 4, Medicaid funding previously funneled into Planned Parenthood and its affiliates was put on hold for one year. This measure, aimed at redirecting taxpayer dollars away from organizations that carry out elective abortions, was hailed by pro-life advocates as a step in the right direction in safeguarding unborn lives. Unsurprisingly, abortion activists were not keen on the legislation.

Supreme Court Hears Pregnancy Center’s Case As New Jersey State Government Takes Aim At Pro-Life Groups

Both ADF and First Choice Executive Director Aimee Huber have pointed out that the state attorney’s general’s office seems to be attacking the centers because they’re pro-life. “Our state’s government has done everything they could to make New Jersey a sanctuary state for abortion,” said Huber. “Since pregnancy centers like ours do not perform or refer for abortion, we are targets for a government that disagrees with our views.”

U.S. Launches New Visa Restrictions Targeting Perpetrators of Anti-Christian Violence in Nigeria

The Trump administration on Wednesday unveiled sweeping new visa restrictions aimed at foreign nationals implicated in the surge of brutal anti-Christian violence in Nigeria–marking one of Washington’s strongest responses yet to what U.S. officials describe as escalating religious persecution in Africa’s most populous nation.

School Bans Youth Pastors From Talking About Jesus With Students

Youth pastors are allowed to visit students during lunch hour in Bossier Parish, Louisiana – but the school district has set up some mighty strict parameters. Clergy are allowed to talk about sports, the weather or the latest hot movie craze – but they are not allowed to talk about Jesus.

University Sides With Student Flunked for Citing Scripture in Gender Essay

A University of Oklahoma student filed a discrimination report after she received a zero out of a 25 for writing an essay that expressed her Christian beliefs on gender norms. The school responded by removing the graduate assistant who graded the essay.

Report Warns Critical Race Theory Could Be Worming Its Way Back into Classrooms

Banned in several red states, CRT is often described by those holding more progressive worldviews as an academic framework meant to examine “systemic racism.” Critics, however, would classify it as an ideological agenda that promotes racism — hence why many Republican-led states have taken steps to keep it out of their school curricula. Yet, a new report from the conservative Foundation for Freedom Online (FF) warns that CRT is quietly sneaking its way back in through the “media literacy” campaign.

National Guard Family Pleads For Prayers After Washington Shooting Near White House

“Andy is hanging on. And he is a fighter, and his family has told me that, time and time again, he is a fighter,” Moore added. “But above all, what they want here is for everybody to continue to pray. I believe in the power of prayer, and I can promise you his parents believe in the power of prayer. . . . Please keep praying.”

The Handwriting Is On The Wall For Diaspora Jews

Drawing a crowd of prospective immigrants, none of them probably expected to be confronted by a group of 200 angry demonstrators who shouted vile and crude statements including, “globalize the intifada,” “death to the IDF” and another one too vulgar to write, but directed at Jews, not Israel.

Despite The Headlines, NASA Did Not Just Discover Evidence of Life on Mars

Spoiler: it wasn’t life! And it’s a great example of the importance of reading past the headline. These sensational headlines are often very misleading, exaggerating what was really discovered by taking scientific claims and making a giant leap.

Pompeo: The Plight Of Nigerian Christians Has Never Really Received The Attention It Deserves

President Trump’s decision to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern over the systematic persecution of Christians is a welcome and much-needed step to protect religious freedom.

Washington School District Makes Families Jump Through Hoops to Send Kids to Bible Classes

Despite LifeWise meeting all the necessary criteria, the school district has created obstacles for families who want their children to be in the program. Some of these hurdles include prohibiting LifeWise from participating in community events and displaying its flyers. It also requires LifeWise students to conceal any written materials they receive from the program in a sealed envelope in their backpacks.

The Problem With Oh-So-Trendy Socialism

The poll found that Americans’ positive view of capitalism has declined to just 54% while the positive view of socialism has increased to 39%. In fact, 66% of Democrats now favor socialism, a 16% jump since 2010. Another survey found that young people — the eternal arbiters of “cool” — favor socialism more than the average American. A Cato/YouGov poll found that among those aged 30 and under, 62% favor socialism and 34% favor communism. Socialism is undoubtedly in style.
