While an astonishing number of brands have walked away from the toxic Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and all of the extremism it represents, there are more than 550 companies that not only support the surgical mutilation of children — they’ll help pay for it. As part of the criteria for the once-coveted 100% score in HRC’s Corporate Equality Index, businesses must agree to offer health benefits that cover the cost of gender transition-related procedures for employees and their children, a stunning concession for anyone witnessing the devastating heartbreak this movement has wrought.

“We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies,” Essayli added. Nevertheless, he shared that California’s Secretary of State is actively refusing to allow the Department of Justice (DOJ) to audit the state’s voter rolls. “If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed. What are they afraid of?”
Hopes that America’s 250th birthday would be a time of national unity and healing have not been fulfilled so far. After a bipartisan commission (America 250) formed in 2016 dissolved into internal squabbles with little to show for its years of planning, President Trump authorized his own commission (Freedom 250) to organize celebrations worthy of the occasion. But the Left refuses to approve anything touched by Trump, even if it simply cheers on America, so a band of committed leftists is now organizing their own summer events as counterprogramming to the official celebrations of America. Early signs suggest that their events, organized under the title “Next250,” will prioritize protest over celebration.
A startling new study has revealed that the vast majority of online abortion drug vendors are shipping the pills to women whose unborn children are past the point of 10 weeks’ gestation, in violation of the FDA’s federal safety limit.
“It is shameful that L.A. County disrespected Jeffery’s simple request over a controversial, ideological flag,” Burt declared. “Every person deserves to know that their religious beliefs will be respected in their workplace and reasonable adjustments will be made to ensure they are not required to break their moral codes for a job.”
Immigration enforcement was a core element of President Donald Trump’s successful 2024 presidential campaign, including pledges to retake control of the nation’s borders, left open by former President Joe Biden and his administration, and to conduct a mass deportation operation.
Money is tight for everyone, it seems — except Planned Parenthood. While everyday Americans work and scrape, the country’s most lethal business is raking in record profits. And it’s no wonder, experts point out. The nation’s scandal-ridden abortion giant isn’t just killing unborn babies, it’s mutilating the teenagers it didn’t.
A paper published last month by medical watchdog group Do No Harm warns state officials and health insurance providers that “Healthcare Providers May Skirt Coding Rules to Get Paid for Child Sex Changes,” as the title puts it. The document identifies potential ways that medical providers can falsify insurance codes to ensure payment for gender transition procedures to evade state legislation, and it also identifies organizations advising providers to do just that.
As estimates released by Planned Parenthood’s former research arm show that abortion in the United States continues to rise despite the passage of restrictions in many states, pro-life advocates suggest the increasing prevalence of abortions by mail is to blame.
The new Homeland Security chief is considering taking action to bring “sanctuary” jurisdictions into line with federal law. In his first interview since taking over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Secretary Markwayne Mullin suggested the possibility of revoking customs privileges at international airports in cities and states that refuse to cooperate with the federal government in enforcing federal immigration law. He asked, “If they’re a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city?”
Five months after dozens of members of a house church in China were arrested by Xi Jinping’s communist regime, reports have surfaced that Beijing is ratcheting up its persecution of the group of Christians by revoking and suspending the legal licenses of the attorneys attempting to defend them.
There is no clash or war of rights. Zinski has no right to demand employment at a religious institution, and Liberty has a fundamental, constitutionally grounded right to terminate an employee who does not share its biblical views.
A highly controversial bill moving its way through Connecticut’s legislature would significantly heighten the state’s scrutiny of homeschooling families, requiring child welfare checks, increased educational progress reports, and in-person registration with public schools, among other measures. Public outcry has snowballed over the legislation, with parents and homeschool advocates arguing that the bill constitutes state infringement on the constitutional rights of parents to freely educate their children.
What made the U.S. stand alone? Trump administration officials saw the document as anything but pro-woman, slamming it for pushing DEI frameworks, gender ideology that blurs biological sex, vague references to sexual and so-called “reproductive health,” and crucially, refusing to define “woman” or “gender.” This omission reflects the broader cultural battles raging over gender identity, where progressive ideologies have increasingly sought to blur the lines between biological sex and LGBT-related agendas.
This inconsistency further emphasizes the polarized debate at hand: many Americans support deporting those they believe should return home, yet a growing share wants to eliminate the main tool for doing so. Regardless, it stands to reason that both polls land at a particularly tense moment culturally.
A federal judge’s decision to block enforcement of Virginia’s social media restrictions for minors is the latest in a worldwide debate over how — or whether — governments should curb addictive online platforms to safeguard children.
What is allegedly the only hospital between Minnesota and Texas carrying out adult gender transition surgeries has decided to stop “due to operational limitations and lack of surgical coverage,” according to a statement that Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) issued last week. Scrutiny in 2022 over VUMC’s provision of gender transition procedures led the Tennessee legislature to ban these procedures for minors, a law that ultimately prevailed in the Supreme Court’s Skrmetti decision.
We are again witnessing the dangers of COVID-era policies that swept away any requirement for a woman to meet in-person with a medical professional before being prescribed abortion pills. Such policies make it much easier for men to force women into abortions, or even to lace their food with abortion pills.
The U.S. military announced Tuesday that it would send 200 servicemembers to the embattled African nation of Nigeria to help train Nigerian troops to fight Islamist terrorists, who have murdered tens of thousands of Christians and other religious practitioners in the country over the last two decades.
Health care providers beware! Transgender ideology now has such a hold on California policy that one of the state’s hospitals ran afoul of a lawsuit simply for complying with federal policy.
Two days after left-wing “agitators jarringly disrupted [their] worship gathering,” the elders of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn. issued a statement addressing the incident. “Jesus is real,” they began. Thus, from the outset, they framed the issue as a clash of worldviews, correctly implying that those who would break up Christian worship do believe the truth that Jesus is God the Son Incarnate, the Savior and Lord of all. That true belief is protected in America, although some extremists choose to act and pretend as if it were not.
Is it a tough battle? Absolutely. “It’s always been uphill,” he concedes with the scars of someone who’s been in the battle for decades. “There have always been strong opponents. There’s always been a hundred times more financing on the other side than on ours. And yet, through prayer and persistence, we were able to reverse Roe v. Wade. So don’t get discouraged,” Donovan implored. “
A controversial plan to build China’s largest embassy in Europe came under renewed criticism this week after a British paper obtained access to unredacted blueprints that showed a secret, underground room lying only meters from sensitive fiber-optic cables. The revelation came as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to approve the project before a planned visit to China later this month.
A common crime of American politics occurs when a politician jazzes up the base with partisan rhetoric only to transform into a muddled centrist after Election Day. At least for now, New York City’s smiling socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is not guilty of that crime. But if he keeps on this track, he’ll be guilty of much worse.
“The pressure people will feel to end their lives if assisted suicide or euthanasia is legalised will be greatly accentuated at this time of economic recession with families and health budgets under pressure. Elder abuse and neglect by families, carers and institutions are real and dangerous and this is why strong laws are necessary.”
After four years of transgender activism from Joe Biden’s White House, President Donald Trump and his administration are moving to further shield children from harmful gender transition procedures. On Thursday, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced new rules that would bar hospitals that carry out gender transition surgeries on minors from receiving Medicaid and Medicare funding.
Three Americans were killed and three wounded on Saturday when an Islamist extremist opened fire at them at a meeting with the Syrian military in the unstable country’s eastern desert. Those killed included a civilian interpreter and two National Guardsmen from Iowa, while the wounded were also members of the Iowa Guard. The nature of the attack strains the already fragile relationship between American and Syrian forces and serves to remind Americans that an Islamist threat still lurks in eastern Syria.
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 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.”
“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.”
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.
“We praise God that no one was seriously injured, and we are grateful to the security forces for their support and swift action on the ground to resolve the situation and bring a safe outcome,” stated Samaritan’s Purse.
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.
