Trump-Era Task Force Exposes Widespread Anti-Christian Bias Under Biden Administration

The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, chaired by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, outlined in its preliminary report a pattern of federal agencies targeting people of faith, especially Christians, through regulatory overreach, selective enforcement, and outright discrimination. The report is based on investigations and case studies collected over the past several months.

The UK Goes Full Orwell

Recent court hearings revealed that officials had stated that the real purpose was “not primarily aimed at … the protection of children”, but regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse”. There’s only one kind of censorship the British government is really into. Rather than blocking pornography, the Online Safety Act was used to block videos of parliamentary debates about the Muslim sex grooming gang crisis in the UK. Not only wasn’t the Online Safety Act protecting children from being exposed to sexual content, it was being used to censor revelations about the complicity of the authorities in the sexual abuse of children.

‘IDENTICAL FACTS’: Loudoun County Punishes Christian Boys While Exonerating Muslim, Lawyer Says

While the school system brought “identical facts” against all three boys, it eventually dropped the case against the Muslim boy. While the district “didn’t say Muslim,” Hetzler said “that was the only difference we could find.” While the lawyer said exonerating the Muslim boy “was the right thing,” he faulted Loudon County Public Schools for keeping the cases against the two Christian boys.

Just last week, Louisiana pastor Luke Ash, lead pastor of Stevendale Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, was fired from his weekday job at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library when he refused to address a biologically female coworker using male pronouns.

Welcome to the Land of the Free… Until You Express an Opinion

This book also shines a light on the agenda behind the bullshit. It’s no accident that almost every government in the world has turned on its citizens at the same time. Pushing harmful and illogical ideologies, punishing dissidents and seeding fear about everything from the weather through to the common cold. It’s all part of a vision which is laid out by the likes of the United Nations and which our Government has signed up to.

First Amendment Triumph: IRS Recognizes Pastors’ Right to Free Speech

From the beginning, the Johnson Amendment was designed to stifle politically disfavored speech. After all, that may have been one of the motivating factors behind LBJ adding this statutory language. But what should have been clear all along has now been made explicit: Neither statutory language nor the IRS’ interpretation of it can trump the Constitution. Americans have a First Amendment right to freely exercise their faith and a First Amendment right to freely speak their minds, especially on religious and political issues and how the two arenas intersect.

EU’s Digital Services Act Threatens to Censor Americans on Social Media

The Digital Services Act compels very large online platforms—think Facebook, YouTube, and X—to remove so-called illegal content without delay. The problem? “Illegal” is defined not by clear, fixed principles, but by a moving target: whatever violates the law of any EU member state, now or in the future. That means a speech restriction passed in one small European country could trigger content takedowns across the entire internet—a lowest-common-denominator approach to censorship.
