Hillary Clinton says MAGA is waging a “War on Empathy.”But she's not afraid of MAGA — she's afraid of Christians learning biblical discernment.Weaponized emotion is losing its power.That's the real threat.

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land" at the Grammys. But her LA mansion? On Tongva land. From treaties & purchases to global conquest, America isn't "stolen."

If a state can't enforce its own pro-life laws, sovereignty is dead.Shield laws protect abortion mills.Chemical abortion crosses borders.The Constitution is being tested, and unborn lives are paying the price.

For years, the FACE Act was weaponized against peaceful pro-lifers. Now it's finally being applied to left-wing activists who disrupted a church. This is what equal justice under the law is supposed to look like.

Trump just forced Minnesota Democrats into a trap: cooperate with federal law and admit enforcement is legitimate, or obstruct ICE and own the consequences. This isn't retreat. It's political chess.

Medical trust collapses when profits come before patients. Paying doctors bonuses for hitting vaccine targets creates a system that rewards compliance over individualized care — and parents deserve to know when money is influencing medical advice.

For 60 years, courts used a fake standard of “neutrality” to purge God from public life. That era is ending. Louisiana and Texas are fighting to restore them to classrooms as courts reconsider decades of bad precedent.

In this episode of the Give Me Liberty podcast, William Wolfe and Joe Rigney break down the shocking protests targeting a church and what they reveal about the state of law, order, and faith in America.The conversation explores how media narratives are used to justify chaos, why law enforcement is increasingly pressured to stand down, and how left-wing activism is reshaping public life. Wolfe and Rigney also examine the growing tendency to weaponize Christianity for political ends—while rejecting it when it restrains power.The episode confronts the silence of evangelical leaders, the misuse of Scripture in modern politics, and the implications of weak immigration enforcement amid rising social unrest. As tensions escalate nationwide, this discussion asks a pressing question: what happens when churches become targets—and who is willing to defend them?Learn more at https://www.standingforfreedom.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/freedomcenterlu/ Twitter: https://x.com/freedomcenterluInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freedomcenterlu/

Less than two weeks. That's all it took for Virginia Democrats to unleash abortion extremism, try to let rapists out of jail, dismantle election safeguards, and entrench power for a decade. This isn't policy, it's ideological conquest. The right needs to watch and learn.

The Biden DOJ jailed pro-life grandmothers for praying. Now radicals invade a church with cameras rolling. If the Trump DOJ is serious about equal justice, prosecutions must follow, no exceptions.

A 26-year-old with depression was offered death instead of treatment. Assisted suicide never stays limited, it always expands. First the terminally ill. Then the depressed. Then the unwanted. This isn't compassion. It's a culture of death.

Christmas is about transformation.Dickens understood it: a changed heart, not government force, produces generosity.Scrooge had to face death before he could truly live.That's the Gospel of Christmas

The Political Rules No One EscapesEveryone conserves what they know best.Any institution not explicitly conservative drifts left.Bureaucracies inevitably serve themselves.These aren't opinions. They're laws of political gravity.

Turning the Nativity into immigration propaganda isn't compassion, it's heresy.Jesus wasn't an illegal immigrant.He broke no laws.He came as King and Savior.When churches replace worship with political theater, they stop being churches.

The IRS says it won't enforce the Johnson Amendment. That's not repeal.That's a pause button.Government has no business regulating sermons, especially when political issues have become spiritual issues.Stop policing sermons.Repeal the Johnson Amendment.

What happened at Bondi Beach was entirely preventable.It was Islamic terror enabled by a cravenly culture of appeasement.When governments refuse to confront evil, innocent people pay the price.How many more warnings does the West need?

America's fertility rate has collapsed to 1.6 — far below replacement.And instead of asking why Americans can't conceive, we're told IVF is the fix.But IVF doesn't cure infertility.Until we treat root causes, not manufacture embryos, America's fertility crisis won't heal.
