| Unanimous SCOTUS Ruling Sets Back the White-Collar Rainbow Revolution |
| by Ben Johnson |
| In a 9-0 decision in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services authored by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, justices ruled that employers cannot discriminate against a heterosexual woman and unelected judges cannot insert intersectionality into the law. A unanimous Supreme Court opinion rarely brings good news, but justices recently issued a ruling that set back judicial activism, stopped the Left's tactic of promoting the social revolution at your expense, and exposed the inner workings of the white-collar rainbow revolution. |

"The ICC is politicized and falsely claims unfettered discretion. ... This dangerous assertion and abuse of power infringes upon the sovereignty and national security of the United States and our allies, including Israel." |

| Christians React as Schools and Summer Camps Push LGBT Agenda in June |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| The longtime stranglehold "Pride Month" has exerted over American society seems to be weakening, but parents must still be wary. After two years of devastating boycotts and with President Donald Trump and his anti-woke administration at the helm of the White House, the corporate push to splatter everything in rainbow colors every June has noticeably waned. |

| How Fake Is 'Fake News'? AI-Generated Videos of Pope Leo Further Expose Misinformation Crisis |
| by Caily Shriver |
| "You cannot follow both Christ and the cruelty of kings. A leader who mocks the weak, exalts himself, and preys on the innocent is not sent by God. He is sent to test you," said... nobody? AI-generated YouTube videos of Pope Leo XIV have emerged after the Pope's first weeks in office. The AI-produced video morphed footage from the pope's May 12 audience with AI-generated words, making it seem as though he was denouncing colonialism and praising Burkina Faso's military leader, Ibrahim Traore. How do people get away with these outright lies? |

| The Cross-Focused Life Means We Live for Christ in a Me-First World |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| In a world gripped by an unrelenting obsession with self, we're drowning in a sea of "me-first" mentality. As Paul David Tripp brilliantly exposes, "The DNA of sin is selfishness. Sin inserts me into the middle of my universe; the one place reserved for God and God alone. Sin reduces my field of concern down to my wants, my needs, and my feelings. Sin really does make it all about me." This truth cuts like a blade, revealing how deeply self-worship has infected our culture. |

| The Blood Cries Out: Why the Democrats Are Unyielding on Abortion |
| by Jacqueline Andrews |
| In 2 Kings 3, a desperate king of Moab offers his son as a burnt sacrifice to secure victory in battle. Scripture tells us, "There came great wrath against Israel," and despite God's promised victory, the Israelites withdrew. One man's sacrifice of innocent blood altered the course of battle - even against the will of God. This ancient account reveals a profound spiritual reality: shedding innocent blood carries weight in the spirit realm. It can unleash power - but also wrath. |

| by Meredith VanDerWiede |
| When you spend most of your life in a place like Jackson, Michigan, saying "hello" to everyone - including strangers - is the most normal thing. You never really think about the impact such a simple greeting can have until you're somewhere else, or dealing with uncertain circumstances. |
