There's some pretty substantial rulings at the Supreme Court today. One being huge for the country, wherein the “Independent” agencies housed under the executive branch CAN be fired by the President of the United States.Episode Links:Supreme Court makes ruling on “trans” athletes in women's sports; The Alliance Defending Freedom backed both states in cases involving a Boise State runner and a West Virginia youth athlete Trump suffers major Supreme Court defeat as justices uphold birthright citizenship; The Supreme Court's ruling is a setback for President Donald Trump, who issued an executive order on his first day in office that would end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants AOC says socialism growing in the Democratic party is a "very good sign for November.” Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) torches the far-left DSA wing after their wins in NY: In a new CNN interview, Shapiro dismisses the relevance of Zohran Mamdani and DSA-backed socialist victories in New York, calling them “individual districts in a whole other state” with “different looking congressional races.” The View' Co-Host Sara Haines on Dem Socialist wins: "For the Republicans, this is a GIFT! ... We're writing the commercials pretty much for the GOP. The Democrats are literally just teeing up exactly how EVERY Democrat is gonna be framed!" Claire Valdez, Democratic nominee for NY-7, says she wants to abolish pre-check and nationalize the entire airline industry Democrats aren't even hiding that they imported their voters. Somali Muslim man running for Congress in Utah literally says his plan to get elected is to use the foreigners that Democrats imported. “Muhammad is trying to power his win by mobilizing Salt Lake City's growing immigrant population” AOC: I actually think the more important advice that I would give would be to my incumbent colleagues, which is: you will create a self-fulfilling prophecy by deciding who these young women are before you've met them. And if you are already panicking and sending little messages in your group chats about how these people need to be reined in, tamped down, and shown their place, you are creating the antagonistic dynamic that we do not need. These are two young, talented, intelligent women who got elected against all odds, against millions of dollars. Perhaps there is something we can learn from them.

It's Tuesday, June 23rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Pray for Leah Sharibu's release in Nigeria Eight years after 14-year-old Leah Sharibu was kidnapped by Islamic extremists, along with 109 others from a girls' school in Nigeria's Yobe State on February 19, 2018, she is the only remaining captive. Evangelical Focus reports that Leah, now age 22, refused her captors' demands to deny Christ and convert to Islam in order to be released after the attack by Islamic State West Africa Province on the Government Girls' Science and Technical College in Dapchi. Most of the other kidnapped girls have been released, with some dying in captivity. Leah's parents, Nathan and Rebecca Sharibu, said that she has chosen to remain true to Christ at great cost. In their words: “For this courage, she has endured unimaginable hardship in the wilderness. Reports from those who escaped speak of forced marriage, repeated trauma, childbirths in captivity, and the constant shadow of sexual violence used as a weapon of war and control.” Please pray for Leah's freedom from captivity. Brazilian homeschoolers sentenced to 50 days in prison Brazilian parents Audato and Ieda Denardi have been sentenced to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters. The Christian parents were convicted of “intellectual neglect” because the judge said their program failed to include lessons on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.”  The Denardis are appealing their case to a higher court. The mother told Alliance Defending Freedom, “As a mother, I cannot conceive a more dictatorial state than the one that wants me in jail because I chose to exercise my right to direct the education and upbringing of my daughters.”  Over 70,000 children are being homeschooled in Brazil today.  Trump-endorsed Columbian conservative wins presidency Colombian right-wing politician Abelardo de la Espriella won the Columbian presidential runoff on Sunday. He garnered 49.6% of the vote compared to leftist Iván Cepeda who took 48.7% of the vote.  De la Espriella was endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump and promised to take his country in a more conservative direction.  Connecticut liberals require homeschoolers to seek state permission The state of Connecticut is doing its part to keep parents from teaching their own children. The Connecticut Legislature passed House Bill 5468, a bill requiring parents to receive permission from the Connecticut Department of Children and Families in order to homeschool. Regrettably, Democrat Governor Ned Lamont signed the restrictive bill into law.  Attorney Kevin Boden of the Home School Legal Defense Association said, “This profound shift transforms Connecticut from a state where parents had significant freedom to the only state that imposes mandatory background checks on fit parents before they can teach their own children in their own home. By requiring every parent to be pre-screened before they can begin homeschooling, it ceases to acknowledge parents as trusted actors and instead casts them as risks to be managed.”  American farmers in trouble American agriculture is in crisis. Since 2020, the United States has lost almost 150,000 farms and 21 million acres.  Bankruptcies were up 50% year-to-year between 2024 and 2025, according to the State of the American Farmer Report, 2026. Only about half of farmers expect to be profitable this year. And 60% of farmers believe that farming as we know it today will cease to exist without a course correction.  Plus, the U.S. cattle herd is at a 75-year low -- roughly one-quarter cow per person today vs. one-half a cow per person 40 years ago. Deuteronomy 28:1-4 reminds us of God's blessings upon nations:  “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the Earth.   “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: ‘Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground, and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle, and the offspring of your flocks.'” Franklin Graham: Ebola outbreak in Congo much worse Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling for prayers as the most recent Ebola outbreak continues to spread in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  The first symptoms are usually fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. These are usually followed by vomiting, diarrhea, and renal dysfunction, at which point some people begin to bleed both internally and externally. Outbreaks of the disease have had a mortality rate of between 25% and 90%, averaging 50%. According to Graham, “We believe the Ebola outbreak is much worse than we initially thought. We think it's spread much more because it went undetected for several weeks, and it's very difficult.” Graham added, “We need prayer. Our 70 staff members, they're there for a month or so and then [we] rotate them out and then they get a new team in. This is complicated because the borders are closed between [Congo] and Uganda. If you come back into the United States from [Congo], you could be quarantined and so forth. It's not easy. … We just ask people to pray and that God would continue to guide and direct us.”  Fewer women are attending church Women are leaving the Christian church.  Barna.com reports the largest gender gap in recorded history — with only 36% of women attending church compared to 43% of men. The gender gap at the beginning of the 21st century was 50% women attending and only 37% of men. The reversal dates back to 2018. Married dads now lead the charge with 41% attending church in the last week. By contrast, only 30% of married moms attended church in the last week and only 24% of single moms. Witchcraft-themed shows on the rise And finally, NARRATOR: “Once the world was full of wonders, but it belongs to humans now. We have all but disappeared: demons, vampires, and witches hiding in plain sight.” Witchcraft is dominating in the media today — with at least 20 witchcraft-themed shows emerging in the 2020s, and over 50 shows that incorporate occasional witchcraft themes. Examples include: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Charmed reboot, A Discovery of Witches, Mayfair Witches, Agatha All Along, The Owl House, Fate: The Winx Saga, The Worst Witch, The Bureau of Magical Things, Motherland: Fort Salem, and The Witcher. Witchcraft communes and retreats are on the rise, reports The Guardian.  Women are seeking more avenues for power in the rising age of what they call “patriarchy.” Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, “There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

The tallest church in the world was just blessed by the Pope. So is it Babel, or is it worship? The Sagrada Familia took over 140 years to build. Its architect, Antoni Gaudi, intentionally kept it just below the height of a nearby hill because he believed human hands shouldn't reach higher than God's. That's not Babel. That's the opposite of Babel. And I think the Church desperately needs cathedral thinking.

"Universities are now competing for students rather than students competing to get into universities." — Victor Davis Hanson American universities are facing a growing crisis. Enrollment is falling, tuition continues to rise, student debt has reached record levels, and public confidence in higher education is declining.Victor Davis Hanson explains why on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” 

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 16, 2026. We open with Hollywood's next election cycle project — Sean Penn and Warner Brothers are producing a film about January 6th from the perspective of an anti-Trump police officer, described as based on a real person but fictionalized. We discuss what an honest January 6th film would actually require — including the FBI coming clean about how many informants were in that crowd, whether they incited the violence, and why that information has been withheld from both Congress and defendants. We also note that the FBI agent who ran the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping sting — which a Michigan appeals court just threw out — was the head FBI agent in Washington D.C. on January 6th. Do we trust Sean Penn to tell that story? We already know the answer. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the FBI disrupted a terrorist plot to attack the UFC fight on the White House lawn — suspects planned to use explosive-laden drones to drive survivors into sniper fire, with 23 people named as suspects arrested across Ohio, California, Missouri, and Nebraska. Then President Trump arrived in France for the G7 summit, where topics include the Iran peace deal, Russia-Ukraine, and energy security — with French President Macron already looking for alternative routes to move Middle Eastern oil that don't depend on the Strait of Hormuz. And 15 Antifa members were arrested in Minnesota and charged with conspiracy to injure federal law enforcement officers after attempting to block immigration enforcement operations earlier this year. We also cover James Carville's latest prediction that President Trump will resign by Easter of 2027 — bored, tired, distracted, and facing political collapse. We point out that Carville appears to be describing his own audience, not the man who negotiated an Iran peace deal, hosted a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and is still running laps around every critic who has ever declared him finished. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the competing events on the same weekend as the UFC fight — the anti-Trump Hollywood rally featuring Bette Midler, Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, and Julia Roberts telling the crowd to breathe in the love and breathe out the fear. Teri asks where this outrage was when men with surgical implants were flashing the White House lawn on Easter during the Biden administration. She researched the cultural events Obama hosted at the White House — and says she's glad he did them. Her only point is that if a white president had done the same things specifically for white audiences, the left would have called it a scandal. The hypocrisy is the story. We also cover Major League Baseball warning San Francisco Giants pitchers for displaying Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night — and connect it to a broader question about whose expression gets protected and whose gets punished — including the founding principle that rights come from the Creator, not from government, and why that matters the moment you try to elect someone who doesn't believe in a Creator at all. In our Digging Deep segment, we document the cascading consequences of the FDA's Biden-era decision to allow abortion pills to be shipped through the mail without an in-person doctor visit. We walk through a documented series of cases — a woman trying to secretly give her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend an abortion pill, a man who pretended to be a woman online to obtain the pills and then told his pregnant girlfriend they were supplements, a doctor who tried to feed the pills to his sleeping mistress, and a DOJ employee accused of baking the pills into cookies for his girlfriend. Her baby died two days later. We make the case that in their zeal to make abortion as easy as possible, the left has created a system that makes it easier to force abortions on women who don't want them — which is a direct contradiction of every argument they've ever made. We also cover a Cornell University student who refused a job interview and then told the employer he wasn't interested in working for a Jew — then doubled down when given a chance to walk it back. A crowdfunding campaign raised over $13,000 to reward him. We note that the Maine Democratic Party just nominated a man with an SS tattoo for Senate, endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and connect the dots on where mainstreaming anti-Semitism leads. For our Bright Spot, a high school junior in Charlotte painted Live Like Kirk and a Bible verse on her school's spirit rock with prior permission — and was then treated like a criminal, forced out of class, and made to surrender her phone logs. The Alliance Defending Freedom took the case. The school board adopted a new speech policy, issued a public statement exonerating the student, and paid $95,000 in damages and fees. The Alliance Defending Freedom wins again. And we close with Jim Freeman, a fourth grade teacher at Tully Elementary in Louisville, who isn't even Ryan Neighbors' teacher — but when he heard that Ryan, who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, would have to miss the school field trip to the Falls of the Ohio State Park, he bought a specialized backpack and carried her through the park himself.

Three college athletes came on this show and I am still thinking about this conversation. Maddie, MK and Lainey never asked for any of this. They went to college to compete, earn scholarships and build their futures. Instead they found themselves watching their sports be taken over by biological males, losing roster spots, losing medals and in some cases watching their coaches stay silent because their jobs depended on it. They took it to court anyway. And now they are waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on whether states can even make sex-based distinctions in athletics. In this episode I also sit down with Kristen Waggoner, CEO and President of the Alliance Defending Freedom, who has been litigating this fight for over a decade. She breaks down the two legal questions before the court, what a win actually means for girls across the country, and why she says lies cannot survive without censorship. We also hear from the girls themselves about the death threats, the teammates who would not stand with them, the coaches who stayed quiet, the male athletes whose own teammates said it was unfair, and why every single one of these women says she would do it all over again.

The media claims Trump is isolated and the midterms are lost, but they are ignoring the reality of a crippled Iran and a redrawn map of Middle Eastern alliances. By shifting from appeasement to strength, the administration has effectively shut out Russia and China while setting the stage for a massive drop in oil prices. This strategy doesn't just secure the Strait—it puts the MAGA movement in the driver's seat heading into the midterms.

Something of a bombshell has just dropped. Elon Musk, through the historic IPO of SpaceX on the Nasdaq — just became the world's first trillionaire. One trillion dollars. And the left's immediate reaction wasn't "how did he build that?" It was "how do we take it?" And I want you to understand something, because this is so important — the same people screaming about one trillion dollars in private wealth are completely silent about the three to four trillion dollars in wealth transfer payments the federal government moves every single year.

The new Masters of the Universe reboot brings He-Man back, but under the swords and special effects sits a bigger question: what happens when ordinary people get extraordinary power, and do they have the character to use it?

We don't usually think of guilt as a good thing. Our culture tells us to push it down and never feel bad about our choices. But what if a guilty conscience is actually a gift? In this episode, Kirk and James dig into the two very different ways people respond when they know they've done something wrong. One leads to freedom and peace. The other leads to editing the truth in your own mind, cutting out the parts that make you look bad until you believe your own version of the story. They talk about why owning your part takes real courage, what scripture says about the truth always coming to light, and why repentance is so hard but always worth it.

Alliance Defending Freedom sues Washington state over alleged assault of female wrestler by trans opponent. Man attacks signature gatherer, steals voter data. State lawmaker cries during ethics hearing.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 9, 2026. We open with President Trump's declaration that the U.S. will achieve total victory over Iran within two weeks — and we dig into what that actually means. Iran just shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz. Both pilots survived and were rescued by an unmanned drone in the first such rescue of U.S. service members in history. We work through the tensions in Trump's statements — between declaring victory in two weeks and talking about trillions of dollars in infrastructure reconstruction — and ask whether those two things can both be true at the same time. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz — both pilots bailed out safely and were rescued by an unmanned drone in a historic first. Then Vice President J.D. Vance sent a criminal referral to the DOJ urging prosecution of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for covering up Medicaid fraud, intimidating whistleblowers, and directing state employees to stop investigating fraud in Somali immigrant communities to avoid accusations of racism. And Carmelo Anthony has been convicted of murdering high school track star Austin Metcalf — who was stabbed in the heart with a knife Anthony had hidden in his backpack at a Texas track meet after refusing to leave a rival school's tent when asked. We get Dr. John Eastman — former attorney for President Trump and former California attorney general candidate — on the phone to explain why Spencer Pratt was eliminated from the Los Angeles mayor's race after holding second place on Election Day. Eastman explains California's universal mail-in ballot system, the notoriously dirty voter rolls full of dead people and illegal immigrants, the practice of runners harvesting ballots from apartment mailboxes, and the statistical impossibility of a ballot batch update in which 24,000 votes were counted and zero — literally zero — went to a candidate who had been pulling about 30% throughout the count. He also explains why the courts in California refuse to accept statistical anomalies as evidence of fraud and why the system has been deliberately designed to make post-election proof nearly impossible to obtain. And he connects it all back to the founding principle — the only legitimate government is one based on the consent of the governed, and consent can only be given through free and fair elections. We also cover new information from Jim Jordan's congressional hearings showing that the Biden Justice Department met with the Southern Poverty Law Center on a quarterly basis, treated them as a credible source, and used their designations — which labeled the Family Research Council, Moms for Liberty, and the Alliance Defending Freedom as hate groups — to inform federal law enforcement decisions. The Richmond FBI memo suggesting pro-life Catholics could be linked to extremism? The sourcing came from the SPLC. We explain why this matters to everyone regardless of party — because when a government starts investigating viewpoints instead of crimes, nobody is safe. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether someone with an OnlyFans page can ever expect to get a husband — prompted by the news that Denise Richards joined OnlyFans after her own daughter did. We get into why the platform combines the two things people most want — money and fame — while delivering neither happiness nor lasting value, and why the basketball player's wife who kept her page secret for five years until her husband found out and divorced her is the most honest version of where that road ends. We dig into Washington D.C. public school sex education — which has apparently stopped using the terms male and female to describe human biology in order to avoid conflicting with gender ideology. We note that this is being done in what some consider the most educated city in America, and compare it to trying to teach geography without using the words continent or ocean. For our Bright Spot, Meta has announced America's Workforce Academy — a cost-free, five-week training program with an initial $115 million investment that will train fiber technicians, welders, plumbers, electricians, and other skilled trade workers and guarantee jobs for all graduates. Mike Rowe calls it an important step in the right direction. We call it exactly what it is — a private company solving a public problem without waiting for the government to screw it up first. And we close with the crew of Artemis 3 — Colonel Randy Bresnik, Colonel Frank Rubio, Commander Andre Douglas, and Italian astronaut Colonel Luca Parmitano — announced by NASA this week for the upcoming lunar landing mission expected to launch in late 2027. And an Air Canada pilot who flew commercially for 17 years without a valid pilot's license — proof that AI isn't the original scam. People have been fooling each other since the beginning of civilization. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

California has transformed into a single-party monopoly where the legislative, executive, and judicial branches actively subvert the will of the voters. Through lax voting laws, ballot harvesting, and a lack of voter identification requirements, the state has institutionalized a system where early conservative leads are routinely erased weeks after Election Day.  The controversy surrounding Spencer Pratt, Nithya Raman, and the Los Angeles mayoral race is connected to a broader pattern that crushes democracy every time, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

‘Experiment'California was the most beautiful state in the country until left-wing politicians took over the state and claimed it for their progressive experiment. More than 11 million Californians have fled, unable to shoulder the burden of record-breaking gas prices, homelessness, expansive welfare programs, and a failing education system. The solution? Cut taxes, clean up homelessness, cooperate with law enforcement, increase oil development, and tackle voter fraud. Californians may have a chance at returning to paradise if they show up at the polls, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words

Attorney General Dave Yost reflects on 25 years in Ohio politics This is Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's final week in office. He announced last month he is stepping down to take a job as the vice president of strategy for the Christian, conservative legal group, the Alliance Defending Freedom. Yost could not run for re-election to the attorney general office because of term limits. He planned to challenge for the Republican nomination for governor, but the Ohio GOP and President Donald Trump threw support to Vivek Ramaswamy early on in the process effectively ending Yost's primary chances. He leaves with six months left in his term. Gov. Mike DeWine tapped Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson to serve out the rest of Yost's term. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear from Ideastream's Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler, who recently sat down with Yost for an exit interview for the "State of Ohio" on WVIZ-PBS. Yost reflected on his quarter-century in Ohio politics, why he decided it was time to leave for the private sector and why this opportunity was the right one for him. Guests:- Dave Yost, Attorney General, State of Ohio- Karen Kasler, Bureau Chief, Ideastream Statehouse News Bureau New research predicts rising temperatures will increase heat-related heart disease Extreme heat can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other serious cardiovascular events, particularly among older adults and people with existing heart conditions. As summer temperatures begin to climb across much of the country, researchers are taking a closer look at what that could mean for public health. A new study from Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals and the Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center projects that as climate change leads to more frequent extreme heat events, heat-related heart disease could increase by 200% nationwide over the next 25 years. To end the hour, we'll talk with two of the researchers behind the study about what they found, who could be most affected and what can be done to reduce the risks.

It's Wednesday, May 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Canadian group penalized for targeting Christians LifeSiteNews reports that an activist group in Canada recently lost its government funding after being exposed for targeting Christians. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funding each year. Conservative lawmakers have called out the group for its hostility to Christians and pro-lifers.  Campaign Life Coalition posted on X, “The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is reportedly out of Canadian Heritage funding. This is welcome news. For years, Canadians have been forced to subsidize an activist organization that has helped fuel suspicion and hostility toward Christians, pro-lifers, and other peaceful citizens.” Only 34 percent of Canadians say Bible is authoritative Lifeway Research released its new State of Theology in Canada Study. The survey found 51 percent of Canadians say that religious belief is not about objective truth. Only 34 percent believe the Bible has the authority to tell us what we must do.  A majority of Canadian adults believe God accepts the worship of all religions, that most people are good by nature, and that the Bible is not literally true.  Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “For most Canadians, the Bible's teaching on how to live is only as convincing as the Bible itself. When half openly doubt the Bible, it is not surprising that the majority disagree with the Bible on how it says to live.” Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.” Alaska could expand access to Abortion Kill Pill In the United States, Alaska passed legislation last week that could expand access to the Abortion Kill Pill. House Bill 195 would allow pharmacists to prescribe drugs to individuals, not just administer them.  Pat Martin is the director of Alaska Right to Life. He warned that the measure would “expand Chemical Abortion (Mifepristone) access from Anchorage and Fairbanks Planned Parenthood sites to virtually every city, town, and village that has a hospital, clinic, or pharmacy.” Romans 3:15-18 says, “Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Hawaiian officials in hot water for censoring free speech Officials in Hawaii agreed to pay over $100,000 to settle a free speech lawsuit last week. The Babylon Bee sued the state over its law that censored online political speech. The Christian news satire site won a similar case in California last year with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom. Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee, commented on the recent victory in Hawaii. He said, “This settlement marks yet another victory for the First Amendment and for anyone who values the right to speak freely on political matters without government interference.” Buying power of U.S. workers fell by 3% Pew Research released a report on American wages compared to the rising cost of living. In the past 20 years, wages have outpaced inflation. Based on the Consumer Price Index, the median wage's real buying power grew by 12.1 percent between 1999 and 2025.  However, over the past five years, the buying power of median wages actually fell by over three percent. This aligns with record inflation levels in recent years.  Weekly churchgoers have better mental health And finally, the Wheatley Institute published a report entitled, “The Religion and Mental Health Connection.” The report reviewed thousands of studies linking religion to better mental health by a 10-to 1 ratio. Studies found the rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety were lower among people who attended religious services. This was especially true for people who attended services at least weekly.  The report stated, “It is not nominal affiliation, but committed religious involvement that appears to matter most.” Hebrews 10:23-25 says to Christians, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, May 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

It's Monday, May 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian families in WA state are free to serve as foster parents To settle a lawsuit brought by a Washington state couple, state officials agreed to a permanent injunction allowing Christian families to serve as foster parents without promoting so-called “gender ideology,” reports Alliance Defending Freedom. Washington's Department of Children, Youth, and Families has agreed to settle a lawsuit over its policies excluding religious families. The state had enacted a new policy requiring all families to use a child's chosen pronouns, don't you know. The state then declined to issue Shane and Jennifer DeGross a full license under this policy because of the couple's Christian objections to socially “transitioning” children that may be placed in their care, between the ages of 2 and 18. Jennifer DeGross said this on Fox News. JENNIFER DEGROSS: “In 2022, we were going through our relicensing process and realized that the state had updated some of their rules regarding foster parents. One of those rules was requiring us to adhere to their ideology regarding gender identity and while we said that we would love and care for any child in our home, those were requirements we just could not abide by as Christians.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus said, “Surely, you have read in the Scriptures: When God made the world, 'He made them male and female.” Johannes Delphonse, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “Washington's policy failed to respect religious diversity because it singled out applicants with traditional religious beliefs on the sanctity of the human body.  The DeGrosses merely asked to be treated the same as any other family—without being asked to compromise their core beliefs. “This is a win-win because it will ensure more families can serve as foster parents to help meet the needs of every precious child in Washington's foster-care system.” Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, resigns Tulsi Gabbard is resigning from her post as Director of National Intelligence to support her husband, Abraham, through his battle with "an extremely rare form of bone cancer," reports Fox News. She said, “I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.” Gabbard notified President Donald Trump during a meeting in the Oval Office this past Friday. Her last day is expected to be June 30. In her formal resignation letter, Gabbard says she is "deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half." During her tenure, Gabbard became one of the most controversial and transformative intelligence leaders in recent memory. She spearheaded efforts to reduce the size of the intelligence community bureaucracy, dismantle diversity and equity programs inside federal intelligence agencies, and declassify hundreds of thousands of pages of government records tied to major historical and political investigations. Among the most significant disclosures were records connected to the Trump-Russia investigation, the JFK and RFK assassinations, and the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane probe. MS NOW panel claims SC blacks to be 'disenfranchised' by GOP And finally, MS NOW host Chris Jansing presided over a discussion of GOP efforts to redraw South Carolina's congressional districts in which her Democrat guests claimed that blacks are being "disenfranchised" in South Carolina, reports Newsbusters.org. She offered this melodramatic introduction in her interview with South Carolina State Rep. Kambrell Garvin, a black Democrat. JANSING: “Today, a dramatic warning about voting rights from one North Carolina state senator who told Politico the entire South is on fire. Jim Clyburn accuses Republicans of creating Jim Crow 2.0. Is he right?” GARVIN: “Absolutely, Chris. It's starting to feel more like 1966 and not 2026. So, you're talking about over a 100-year period where black folks in South Carolina did not get a chance to have a voice, did not get a chance to have a seat at the table. And now we are facing a situation where it might be another 100 years where African Americans will not be able to have a voice.” Laughably, neither Chris Jansing nor Rep. Garvin remembered to point out that South Carolinians have elected and re-elected Tim Scott, a Republican black man, as one of their two United States Senators. Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky was equally blind in her condemnation of South Carolinian voters. ROGINSKY: “You are now about to see complete eradication of black power in Congress. It is precisely because of these kinds of places. White voters will not vote for black representatives. I call it racism, but the reality is the reality, which is that we are going to have many, many, many fewer representatives of color.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, May 25th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Every statewide executive office in Ohio is on the ballot in 2026, and not a single incumbent is defending a seat. Term limits cleared the building all at once. In this solo episode of Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition, Radell Lewis walks through the entire Ohio ballot, from the top of the ticket down to the competitive congressional districts, so you know exactly what you are voting on. Governor: Dr. Amy Acton vs. Vivek Ramaswamy. U.S. Senate: Sherrod Brown vs. Jon Husted. Plus Attorney General, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, two Ohio Supreme Court seats, and the U.S. House districts most likely to decide which party controls the chamber. Then we get into a week of Statehouse news that shows exactly what kind of fight this is going to be. Attorney General Dave Yost's surprise resignation to join the Alliance Defending Freedom, Gov. Mike DeWine's appointment of Andy Wilson as interim attorney general, and the open question of what happens to the FirstEnergy bribery prosecution. The Ohio GOP power struggle, as gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy sets the agenda on a voter ID constitutional amendment and a Medicaid fraud plan while the sitting governor reacts. HB 698, which would tie public college funding to compliance with Senate Bill 1. A federal plan to open thousands of acres of the Wayne National Forest in southeast Ohio to fracking. And Ohio's data center sales tax break ballooning to roughly $1.6 billion, far beyond the state's own forecast, while the savings flow to Amazon, Meta, and Google. County of the Week is Cuyahoga, home to Cleveland and to a property tax foreclosure case now before the Ohio Supreme Court that could matter to homeowners across the state.

We use that framework to explain exactly why democratic socialism fails every single time it is tried, why the mayor of Seattle just apologized to Starbucks after threatening to drive them out of the city, why Delaware is hemorrhaging corporate headquarters to Texas and Tennessee, and why the people left behind when productive citizens and businesses vote with their feet are always the ones who can least afford to be abandoned. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former Cuban dictator Raul Castro has been indicted in a U.S. federal court for murder and the destruction of two private planes belonging to Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue, shot down over international airspace in 1996. Then Louisiana became only the second state in the country to receive the Department of Education's Returning Education to the States waiver — freeing up $18 million in federal education dollars for direct classroom use over four years, with Secretary Linda McMahon saying Louisianians know best how to serve their students, not bureaucrats in Washington. And a Canadian man living in Massachusetts has been charged with illegal voting after admitting he has voted in U.S. elections since 2008 — meaning he voted illegally in five presidential elections, including the most secure election in American history. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle whether girls are meaner to their moms than their dads — and land somewhere warm and true. We talk about the prom moment where a daughter snaps at her mother and then asks her father for a picture, the four-page love letter that same daughter wrote her mom on Mother's Day, why moms are the soft place to land which means they also absorb the worst of the shrapnel, and why one mama's daughter-in-law used to cry watching friends be rude to their mothers — because she would have given anything to have one. We dig into the Texas case of a man who ordered abortion pills online, crushed them, and mixed them into a pregnant woman's drink without her knowledge — killing her unborn child and now facing murder charges. We explain exactly why this case is the inevitable consequence of the FDA's 2023 decision to allow mifepristone to be dispensed by mail without a doctor ever seeing the patient, why this specific scenario is impossible when the drug must be administered in person by a physician, and why the FDA needs to reverse its decision immediately. In our Digging Deep segment, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney named Carmen Lineberger — who worked on Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago — has been indicted for stealing sealed documents from that very investigation and emailing them to herself disguised as a cookie recipe and a Bundt cake recipe. We explain what makes this story so extraordinarily revealing — a member of the team that prosecuted a president for allegedly mishandling documents allegedly stole documents herself, renamed them dessert recipes, and sent them to her personal email. We also connect her history of pro-DEI advocacy and racial justice work at the DOJ, and make the case that this is not irony — it's the deep state in action. We also cover the FBI dismantling a major Indian call center fraud scheme that stole nearly $1 million from American senior citizens — and call it exactly what it is: putting Americans first doesn't just mean border walls, it means protecting the most vulnerable of our people from predators anywhere in the world. For our Bright Spot, the state of Washington settled a lawsuit brought by foster parents Shane and Jennifer DeGross — represented by Alliance Defending Freedom — after the state denied their foster license renewal because they wouldn't affirm that children can change their biological sex. The settlement requires Washington to revise its licensing policies to respect religious families' deeply held convictions and prohibits the state from attaching conditions to a foster license based solely on religious beliefs about marriage, gender, or sexual relationships. The state also paid $250,000 in attorney's fees. We ask the question nobody at the state agency apparently asked — what is best for the children? We also cover Congresswoman Nancy Mace's proposal to ban naturalized citizens from serving in Congress — and while we understand the frustration that motivated it, we call it what it is — a law of unintended consequences that would tell millions of legal immigrants who became Americans the right way that they can never fully participate in self-government. We draw the line at dual citizenship, not at the immigrant. And we close with Lexi McClellan — a second grade teacher who took a special interest in a seven-year-old foster child named Mary, watched an adoption fall through, stepped forward with her husband to become Mary's foster parents, and filed adoption papers within months. Lexi said it felt like God had led it, like she was meant to be in her life. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In this episode, Emilie Kao, senior counsel and vice president of advocacy strategy for Alliance Defending Freedom and member of the Parental Rights Foundation Board of Advisors, joins us to discuss her article “Preserving Childhood: Dependency, Consent, and Parental Rights in Healthcare,” featured in The State of Parental Rights in America. Emilie explores the legal foundations of parental rights in healthcare decision-making, the Supreme Court's parental rights precedent, and the historical understanding of childhood dependency and parental responsibility.The conversation also examines the rise of the “mature minor” doctrine and its growing role in healthcare policy. Emilie discusses how policy-driven consent standards developed, the major areas where the doctrine is most frequently applied today, and the tension between parental authority, state interests, and adolescent autonomy. She also explains why these debates matter for families, healthcare policy, and constitutional protections moving forward.The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, President of the Parental Rights Foundation.

On this extra-strength episode, our hosts, Flint, Alyx and Ashleigh try something a little different. We have many (but not all) of our usual format points but our entire episode this week is dedicated to a single premise: sports science is complicated and bans on trans participation in sport make no sense.  NOTE: You may not care for sport, you may not be interested in it. That is fine and valid, but we would implore you to nevertheless give this episode a try and particularly our interview with Sheree Bekker & Stephen Mumford, two scientists who have some fascinating insights about the social construction of sport and how patriarchy still rules the roost in places like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other sports organisations. We take a look at:  The IOC is to introduce SRY gene sex testing for all entrants competing in the female categories for all events. Parkrun finds itself caught in the Eye of Sauron. Sorry, I meant legal threats from the Alliance Defending Freedom. Our interview mentioned above for the Meat USA Powerlifting finds itself in Loser's Corner. Some tips for fighting back in Action Alley And finally our usual palate cleanser of Trans Joy.

So it's done...Tucker Carlson is now officially in the “I made a mistake” category of the right, joining Candace, Fuentes, MTG, Dave Smith, and others who have officially condemned or apologized for ever supporting Trump and now claim that he is everything from a war criminal, to a neocon to the anti-Christ...but what's true?SPONSOR: Lear CapitalGold and silver are at all-time highs, and major investors are repositioning toward precious metals amid money printing, market bubbles, and global instability.

Four years ago, Republicans stood on the floor of Congress and told the American people that the FBI used FISA - this secret surveillance court - to spy on Donald Trump. They were right. Kevin Clinesmith doctored evidence to keep the Carter Page warrant alive. The whole thing was a setup. And this week, those same Republicans voted to hand that exact same unreformed tool back to the FBI for three more years. No warrant requirement. No new safeguards. Nothing.

It's Thursday, April 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Algerian authorities have shut down virtually all Protestant churches Muslim authorities in Algeria, Africa have shut down nearly all Protestant churches in the country since January 2025. The finding comes from a new report by the European Centre for Law and Justice.  Algeria's Christian community has been steadily growing since the 1990s. Most of these believers are evangelical Protestants. However, the North African country imposed restrictions on non-Muslim worship in 2006. And most Protestant churches lost their legal status in 2012. These Christians now have little to no freedom of expression in the Muslim-majority nation. The report stated, “Any expression of Christian faith may be regarded as . . . an offence against the precepts of Islam, and may result in prosecution.”  In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Kenyan court rejects abortion as a “right” A court of appeal in Kenya  ruled against abortion last Friday. The court struck down a 2022 high court ruling that declared abortion was a constitutional right.  However, the constitution of the East African nation states that every person has the right to life and that life begins at conception. Last week's ruling affirmed that abortion is not a fundamental right.  Calum Miller, a pro-life doctor and ethicist, wrote on X, “This is a HUGE win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases ever.” United Arab Emirates wants exporting oil independence The United Arab Emirates, which borders Oman to the east and northeast, and Saudi Arabia to the southwest, is withdrawing from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. The major oil producer made the announcement Tuesday and plans to withdraw on May 1. OPEC has limited the United Arab Emirates' oil production to about three million barrels per day. The Emirates wants to reach five million barrels a day by next year as global demand increases.  OPEC is led by Saudi Arabia. The group used to control over half of the world's oil production. Now, it controls less than a third of the production. The United States has become one of its biggest rivals in recent years. King Charles III emphasizes Christian faith before Congress Britain's King Charles III addressed the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. It's the first time a British monarch addressed Congress since Queen Elizabeth II did so in 1991. King Charles emphasized international cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom as well as the shared faith of the two nations. Listen. CHARLES: “Mr. Speaker, for many here, and for myself, the Christian faith is a firm anchor and daily inspiration that guides us, not only personally, (applause) guides us not only personally, but together as members of our community.” “So, to the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries re-dedicate ourselves to each other, in the selfless service of our peoples, and of all the peoples of the world. God bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom.” (applause and cheers) Psalm 33:12 reminds us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.”  Supreme Court ruled in favor of Christian pregnancy centers The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a group of Christian pregnancy centers yesterday.  The ruling allows First Choice Women's Resource Centers to challenge the state of New Jersey in federal court. State officials hit the pro-life group with an unconstitutional, coercive subpoena.  Attorney Erin Hawley with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “In this resounding victory, the Supreme Court held to its long-standing precedent of recognizing that the Constitution protects First Choice, and its donors, from demands by a hostile state official to disclose donor identities and contact information.”    Protestantism's net gain in Latin America And finally, Pew Research released a report on how religious switching has affected Protestants and Catholics. Religious switching refers to when an adult identifies with a religion that is different from the one they were raised in.  Catholicism has lost more people than it gained from religious switching in nearly all surveyed countries. People who leave Catholicism tend to become Protestant or religiously disaffiliated.  Meanwhile, Protestantism has seen a net gain in about as many countries as it has seen a net loss. In particular, Protestantism has had a net gain in Latin America, which is comprised of 20 countries, primarily Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.
