Trump Should Stand Up to Bullies & Reinstate Army Secretary’s Nomination
Last week President Trump made the following promise to the nation: “We will not allow people of faith to be targeted, bullied or silenced anymore. We will never ever stand for religious discrimination.” He made that statement last Thursday. The following day, the president’s nominee for Army Secretary withdrew his nomination.
The Pre-Existing Lie
If you’ve only followed coverage of the Republican health care bill loosely in the media, you might believe that House Republicans, after much effort, passed legislation to deny people with pre-existing conditions health insurance.
Trump Takes the Road Less Gaveled
Neil Gorsuch may have been Trump’s biggest contribution to the courts, but he’s far from the only one! The new Supreme Court Justice was just the opening act to what the president calls “monthly waves” of solid lower court nominees.
From Johnny Carson to Stephen Colbert
In a monologue considered witty by teenagers, teenagers in adult bodies and those who hate President Trump, CBS “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said about President Trump, “The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster,” and “You’re turning into a real prick-tator.” Witty? Not to many of us.

AP, CNN, and WaPo: Fact-Checkers or Fact-Chuckers?
When religious liberty came up in the Obama White House, you can bet the conversation wasn’t about how to advance it! After eight years of sustained attacks on faith, Christians got their first taste of life outside the bunker Thursday when President Trump did what seemed unlikely just six weeks ago and issued an executive order protecting our First Freedom. At a Rose Garden ceremony, surrounded by some of victims of Obama’s war, the new administration took the first step in what will be a journey to revive America’s First Freedom.
Trump: ‘We Will Not Allow People of Faith to be Bullied’
There is a war on religious liberty in America — and this war is targeting people of the Christian faith. An Army of militant atheists and LGBT activists are hell-bent on eradicating Christianity from the public marketplace and punishing Christians who follow the teachings of Christ.
