This Valentine's Day, there's no love lost between conservatives and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The word "strained" doesn't begin to describe the two sides' relationship after drifting even farther apart last year. Since the election, things have taken an increasingly bitter turn under the group's woke leadership, who seem to be enamored with Leftist organizations like Black Lives Matter that helped torch cities in 2020 and led to the shutdown of businesses the Chamber is supposed to represent. And by the looks of it, those fences aren't going to be mended anytime soon.

The Beijing Olympics will be remembered for a lot of things -- controversies, especially. But one of them, amazingly, was not of its host country's making. Even halfway around the world in an authoritarian country, the sports community can't escape the West's raging debate over transgender athletes. A record 35 people who identify openly as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender are competing in this year's Games, leading one radical group to brag that acceptance has arrived. Here at home, conservatives would beg to disagree.

What secular European media has labeled the "Bible Trial" wrapped up in Finland today. Now, Finnish member of parliament Paivi Rasanen is left to wait for the verdict. This case has not only turned out to be one of the biggest religious freedom cases in Europe, but globally. Before closing arguments today, FRC's Special Advisor for Religious Freedom, Andrew Brunson, delivered a prayer pledge signed by 14,341 Americans committed to praying for Paivi.
