Coach Prime Stands Up to Anti-Religious Bullies
By: Paul Batura
In the famous words of Ronald Reagan, “There [they] go again.”
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) has once again sent a harassing letter to the University of Colorado chastising football coach Deion Sanders for inviting chaplain Pastor E. Dewey Smith into the locker room for a post-game prayer.
“Sanders is showing his brazen disregard for not only the Constitution, but also the rights of all his players when he decides to force his religion upon them,” claimed FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor.
“Students undoubtedly feel extra pressure to abide by his will at a collegiate sporting level.”
Of course, Coach Prime is doing no such thing. Nobody is being forced to do anything.
FFRC is claiming the popular coach is using his authority to coerce the players.

Most American Couples Meet Online, Survey Shows
By: Emily Washburn
Times, they are a changin’.
In 2021, more than 50% of couples met online. According to the same national survey, a little more than 20% met in a bar or restaurant. Only 15% met through friends.
The “How Couples Meet and Stay Together” (HCMST) project tracks trends in American dating and marriage over time.
Created by social scholars from Stanford and the University of New Mexico, the HCMST project has compiled and analyzed demographic and relationship information from more than 5,000 American couples since 2009.
The chart shows where American couples met from 1940 to 2021, when HCMST took its last survey.
I know what you’re thinking — this is why young people have so many problems.
But before you go after hook-up culture and dating apps, remember that “meeting online” doesn’t necessarily mean meeting through Tinder or one of its contemporaries.
Social demographer Michael J. Rosenfeld, one of the architects of HCMST, told The Atlantic in April that the true percentage of people who meet on dating apps is between 25% and 30% — a figure that has stayed “pretty consistent” since 2017.
Couples that meet on social media or other online forums make up the remaining percentage of Americans who meet online.

Pregnant Woman With Terminally Ill Preborn Baby: ‘I Love Her So Much’
By: Zachary Mettler
A young pregnant woman recently chose life for her preborn child with a fatal diagnosis, sharing how she still loved her child “more than she can even express.”
The young woman, appearing on the “I Like Birds” podcast, shared her heartbreaking experience.
“This might be crazy, because I know she’s not going to survive anyways, but I only have so much time left with her,” the brokenhearted young woman explains.
“Why should I cut it any shorter?” she asks. “She’s safe in my womb.”
“I had been following a million pro-life organizations on Instagram,” she adds. “I’ve seen what an abortion looks like. And I said, ‘I don’t think I could bear to have her ripped piece by piece out of my womb and shorten the life that’s already so short.’”
She continues,
“[Why would I] take her away from a spot where God has placed her in my hands, in my womb, where she’s safe and she’s warm and she only knows love and doesn’t know pain?
“Why would I give her such a painful death when she’s perfectly fine with me?”
The young woman goes on to express how much she already loves her child.
“I said, today is the first day that I felt her kick. I already love her more than, more than I can even express.”

Thousands Attend Prayer Gathering for America at National Mall
By: Emily Washburn
Tens of thousands of Christians gathered at the National Mall on Saturday for “A Million Women” — an eight-hour prayer and fast for America’s salvation.
The event called for “those hungry to see the Lord’s hand cover this nation” to “fast and pray in unity as a Last Stand moment for America.”
It intentionally coincided with Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, which celebrates Moses’ intercession for Israel before God after the people worshipped a Golden Calf.
“A Million Women” took a similarly repentant posture, calling on attendants to intercede for America before God.
One of its five key prayer topics, repentance, clarified the event’s intention to, “[take] the corporate posture of humility as we pray and believe as one body for God to save our nation.”
Pastors Lou Engle and Jennifer Donnelly created “A Million Women” over a shared spiritual calling to empower women and mothers to speak out for the Kingdom of God. Another of the event’s prayer topics, reformation, aspires for women to “take their place as women and mothers for the benefit of future generations.”
Donnelly encouraged mothers Saturday to fight on behalf of children trapped by sexual sin and gender ideology and killed by abortion.
Thousands of members of Donnelly’s initiative, #Don’tMessWithOurKids, came to the National Mall on Saturday to show their support. The group mobilizes moms against abortion and gender ideology in schools.

Disney Pushes LGBT Agenda — Again — With Transgender Clone Trooper
By: Jeff Johnston
Once again, Disney is promoting the LGBT agenda, this time with a transgender clone trooper in Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers, an “interactive, fully illustrated guide for readers of all ages.”
The 32-page hardback features a male clone trooper named “Sister,” who lives as a woman, all decked out in white clone trooper armor — with the pink and blue from the “transgender flag” added.
The Daily Citizen is not sure how a cloned male character, with bounty hunter Jango Fett’s DNA, can turn out to be transgender identified. Maybe Disney Star Wars will explain this to us all someday.
Many fans are tired of Disney pushing sexual orientation and gender ideology on children. Forty-seven percent of customer reviews gave the book five stars, and 47% gave it one star on Amazon. One-star reviewers mentioned the poor quality of the writing, artwork and pop-up features, while others said the transgender character was inappropriate for children.
The book is part of the “Star Wars: The Secrets Of …” series, with titles like The Secrets of Wookiees,The Secrets of the Sith and The Secrets of the Jedi.
According to Wookieepedia, the fan-based online encyclopedia,
“Sister was the name of a trans female clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. … alongside Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi …”
