Darkness either overcomes you or it compels you to shine your light to repel it. Americans face this choice as we are bombarded with social issues that require us to examine the core of the nation’s soul. Whether you believe the United States is a Christian nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles or not, the universally accepted norms of right and wrong remain until they are upended. The far left in our nation is actively attempting to eradicate core beliefs by confusing children of their gender and God-given sex, by emasculating men, by making race an idol, and by worshipping at the altar of abortion.

Periodically, in what seems like a never-ending assault on our basic values and the rule of law, good news emerges. The good news now is the unanimous decision of a panel of three judges on an Ohio Court of Appeals, supporting a jury decision in favor of Gibson's Bakery in its case against Oberlin College.(Snip)The decision is worthy of our attention because it shows just how troubling the situation is at our colleges and universities.(Snip)The nation is indebted to the Gibson family for refusing to be intimidated by left-wing dogmatists at Oberlin and for standing hard and fast for what is true.
Rob Portman has gotten good at finding reasons why only Republican presidents should be able to appoint justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Portman, Ohio’s junior U.S. senator, did it in 2016 following the death that February of Justice Antonin Scalia. Portman joined his fellow Republicans in insisting that the seat shouldn’t be filled during an election year. Thus now-Attorney General Merrick Garland was denied even a hearing on his nomination to the high court by Democratic President Barack Obama. Instead, we’re stuck with Justice Neil Gorsuch, an appointee of Republican President Donald Trump.

The possibility of an appeal means Christianity and free speech are still at risk in the Western country ranked No. 3 globally for its commitment to the rule of law. Prayers from around the world were answered joyfully today when a Finnish court ruled unanimously in favor of two Christians the government prosecuted for publicly stating the Bible’s teachings about sex. “If this kind of questioning of free speech is possible in a country like Finland, which has a reputation regarding free speech internationally, the same is possible anywhere,” said Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen during a livestreamed press conference this morning U.S. time.
HELSINKI - Freedom of speech has been protected in Finland by a court that dismissed all charges against a member of Finnish parliament and a Lutheran bishop for expressing Christian beliefs about sexuality. According to a press release from ADF International, prosecutors failed in their case against Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola.

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should resign in the wake of revelations that his wife sent texts that pushed for the overturn of the 2020 presidential election results.

We have followed this story closely. The statue is supposed to be moved to a Theodore Roosevelt library in North Dakota. Now the left wants it destroyed completely. (Snip) The “cancelled” statue of Theodore Roosevelt that was hauled away in the dead of night from the American Museum of Natural History’s steps should be headed for the scrap heap rather than a presidential library in North Dakota, a group of woke academics and artists claims.

Barack Obama and Hillary are pushing for government censorship. To hell with individual rights and the Constitution. (Tweet) In a speech at Stanford, Obama called for more government oversight over the Big Tech industry that is already trampling all over Americans’ rights to free speech. Obama was a big part of this censorship.

President Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, says he’s putting the natural gas industry “on notice,” suggesting it has a decade at most to solve for the emissions that are driving Earth’s temperature dangerously higher. (Snip) “We have to put the industry on notice: You’ve got six years, eight years, no more than 10 years or so, within which you’ve got to come up with a means by which you’re going to capture, and if you’re not capturing, then we have to deploy alternative sources of energy,” the one-time presidential candidate said.

Democrats and their business-backed allies are hinting they want the Republicans to okay more legal migration in exchange for keeping border barriers against illegal migration.
“I don’t think there’s any incentive for the Republicans to deal,” amid Democratic threats to lift the Title 42 border barrier against migration, responded Jessica Vaughan, the policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“The Republicans know enough to insist on a clean extension of Title 42, not one encumbered with the Democrats’ wish list items,” she said, adding:
Soaring gas prices, historic inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, lifting crime rates, a porous southern border, and increasing U.S. absences on the global diplomatic stage. President Joe Biden will reportedly address these issues – amongst many more – dogging his administration in an election year with the simple mantra: “It’s not my fault, blame the Republicans.”
According to an Associated Press (AP) report Friday, the president will seek to portray himself as a man of action stymied at every turn by the GOP in a spectacular attempt at electoral blame shifting in the run up to the midterm elections come November. “I mean this sincerely — name me something

Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it.”Liz Cheney had pressed McCarthy about whether Trump could possibly choose to resign on his own: “Is there any chance?
State lawmakers in Rhode Island are pushing legislation that would require every person in the state 16 years of age and older to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and punish those who refuse to do so.
Local outlet NBC 10 reported Tuesday that two state Senators have removed their names from the bill, Bill S.2552.

According to a press release from Fox News, with last night’s broadcast legendary conservative talk radio and cable TV host Sean Hannity surpassed the late Larry King as the longest-running host of a primetime show in television history.
While Hannity’s accomplishment is indeed impressive, when we consider that Hannity is still only 61-years-old and that Larry King continued hosting Larry King Live into his late-70s, the milestone becomes even more remarkable and leaves us to wonder: For how long can Sean go?
