Chicago Declares War on Faith

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 11/9/2025 3:25:21 PM

Chicago’s public school bureaucracy has decided that the faith of a Bible college is suddenly disqualifying—and that should chill every freedom-loving American to the bone. In a lawsuit now drawing national attention, the Moody Bible Institute alleges that Chicago Public Schools barred its students from student-teaching positions because Moody’s hiring practices require faculty and staff to affirm a biblical statement of faith and live accordingly. In plain English: because Moody hires Christians to teach in a Christian school, Chicago says they can’t send their students to teach in public classrooms. Let’s be clear—Moody isn’t discriminating against anyone. It’s being discriminated *against* for daring to live out its faith.

Yes, #3, barring a muslim scholar from teaching in an American public school would raise an uproar and bring lawsuits from around the world against our islamophobia.

This is not as straightforward as it sounds at first reading. Assume, for the sake of argument, that the Bible College students are fundamentalist evangelicals, And that those students are expected to evangelize, , asking people if they are saved. Recruitment to Jesus is central to that faith group. And I would not want a teacher in a public school to be doing that. (two of my sons attended Catholic school. The third, youngest son attended Lutheran elementary school and Catholic high school.) The Chicago school system has to negotiate some boundaries, before they bring on the Bible students.

Are they doing this to Muslims also or just Christians who founded and bled for this country?

It’s no coincidence that multimillionaire Michelle Obama is on a self-pity jag as she promotes her latest expensive coffee table memoir as her husband’s Democratic Party succumbs to its socialist fringe. You see it everywhere. Democratic Marie Antoinettes moaning about their plight and the ingratitude of the serfs as the revolution devours their dominion. For the former first lady, a week of softball interviews for her new $50 tome, “The Look,” has been dominated by bizarre complaints about her time in the White House with President Barack Obama. She is rewriting history to claim bitterly that, as the first black first couple, “we didn’t get the grace that I think some other

Rey doesn’t sweat. That’s the first sign something’s wrong. Luke Skywalker staggered through deserts, lost his hand, and watched his mentors die. He began ignorant and untrained, a boy who had to be humbled before he could be strong. Every lesson cost him. Rey, though, arrives on-screen born finished, like Athena from the skull of Zeus, armed, certain, and already right. She can fight, fly, and fix anything. No apprenticeship, no scars, no descent. She isn’t becoming a hero; she’s declaring herself one. We’ve all met her, long before Disney mixed lightsabers with magic.

One of the better posters/commenters on X is the aptly-named @DataRepublican, who does some great work digging into data, crunching numbers, taking big nests of snakes and laying them all out straight, and uncovering things that just generally make the left uncomfortable. DataRepublican has outdone herself on this thread. Let's look at a few highlights. First, the opening post: (Snip) DataRepublican writes in full: Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS

One of the main issues produced by the Schumer Shutdown has been how it's affected air traffic. While air traffic controllers are still required to work, it's making people work without pay. Several of those workers are simply not coming in, and it's putting a real strain on the ability to handle flights. That's troubling. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has already detailed the problems it's been causing and that it's likely to lead to even more chaos if they don't make a deal soon. Former member of Congress and current candidate for governor of California, Katie Porter, has been trying to up her profile for the race.

Tucker Carlson’s cozying up to Holocaust downplayers, Nazi apologists, Stalin enthusiasts, and rank antisemites – along with Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ October 30 insistence that conservatism’s big tent is big enough to embrace those who hate Jews and fawn over murderous tyrants – widened a parlous rift on the right. (Roberts apologized to Heritage colleagues on November 5.) Much is at stake because Carlson is not some obscure crank but rather host of one of America’s top-ranked right-wing podcasts. And the Heritage Foundation is not a rinky-dink, fly-by-night operation but the nation’s largest, wealthiest, and most influential conservative think tank. Consequently, it is incumbent on President Donald Trump

The stabbing attacks in the UK involving migrants underscore the political dilemma facing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. What should the Labour Party stand for? Muslim advocacy groups are deeply embedded in progressive NGOs, parties, and activists in the UK; 86% of Muslims voted Labour last election. Starmer is part of the problem because he cannot undermine his own coalition. Red or green? This conflict of interests creates a strategic problem for Labour and the Western progressives. If it challenges its Islamic partners, it weakens itself. But if it abets Islam, Labour may lose the support of the native populations, fall, and become a junior partner to Muslims.

Every one of us has done it, even if it’s just for a fleeting second. It crosses your mind. You have some symptoms that could be anything from a headache to brain cancer, and at some point you doom out, staring at the list of symptoms, thinking that cancer doesn’t care who you are, anyone could get it. You think you’re being reasonable, after all. “Who am I to think I’m immune?” Right? Then, having deemed yourself reasonable and rational to boot, you click back to your search results and check another website other than WebMD just to be sure.

TAMPA - Four people are dead and at least 13 are injured after a man crashed into an Ybor City business early Saturday morning, according to officers. The Tampa Police Department said they arrested Silas Sampson, 22, on multiple charges after the massive deadly crash. Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw says this began at 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning when officers spotted two vehicles racing near Hanna Avenue and Nebraska Avenue in Tampa. They proceeded westbound on Hillsborough Avenue when one of the vehicles drove onto I-275 Southbound. TPD's air unit tracked it as it then exited downtown. Florida Highway Patrol troopers joined in and tracked the vehicle to Nebraska Avenue

Nancy Pelosi has announced her retirement as of the end of the current term. No surprise there: she is 85 years old, and being in the minority in the House, especially after having been Speaker, is no fun. Conservatives have mostly despised “San Fran Nan,” and president Trump made no bones about his feelings: “I think she’s an evil woman. I’m glad she’s retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked for his reaction to the California Democrat’s announcement she is ending her decades-long storied career. “I think she was a tremendous liability for the country,” Trump continued.

The big news story of the week was Zohran Mamdani’s election as Mayor of New York City. Socialism is once again in the news, and meme creators have gone into overdrive. A new generation of anti-socialism memes is being created, and golden oldie anti-socialism memes are being revived. Beyond that, the Schumer Shutdown continued, food stamps have run out, the guy that wants to murder Republicans got elected Attorney General of Virginia, Nancy Pelosi announced her retirement, and conflict with Venezuela is looming. But memesters were more interested in Sydney Sweeney seeing off an interviewer who wanted to talk about white supremacy.

I was 38 years old. At the time, I looked forward to serving for the rest of my life. However, I resigned Friday, relinquishing that lifetime appointment and giving up the opportunity for public service that I have loved,” Wolf wrote in an op-ed for The Atlantic.

"That's like the most random way to start a question on a serious topic. Nobody who's serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously. No one.

California has the trendiest, and most foolish, energy policies in the U.S. The result is a return to the early ’70s, when drivers lined up around the block, hoping and praying the gasoline wouldn’t run out before they got to the pumps. “California’s oil industry now sits at the precipice of complete collapse,” says Edward Ring, director of water and energy policy at the California Policy Center, “and if that happens, more imports will not prevent lines at the pumps.” How could California, which has the sixth most proved crude reserves in the country, be looking over the edge of a gasoline crisis?

With the election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York, much conversation has been made of his appeal to “affordability.” As I’ve written previously, this is a noble conversation, but one that has been dishonestly framed (by Democrats and media) to date. [snip] First let’s look at the role that government has already played and its effect on affordability. What areas in the economy have seen the greatest increase in costs for the consumer? Education, housing, healthcare, and food. ronically, these are all areas of the economy that the government has interjected itself in the form of subsidies, regulations, government-backed loans, and transfer payments.

As awful as the mayoral election outcome was for sensible New Yorkers, misguided Washington Republicans plan to use the results as a club to further punish the city. If they succeed in hitting Gotham with enormous financial penalties for electing socialist radical Zohran Mamdani, the GOP wackos will end up penalizing all 8 million New Yorkers, including the 1 million who rejected Mamdani to vote for other candidates. The efforts also could turn Mamdani into a martyr, which would boost his popularity and inspire far-leftist copycat candidates across America. Another unintended consequence of the daffy congressional effort could be the death of the election chances of one of their own.

As The Dallas Express reported, Comeaux recently rejected a $25 million partnership with ICE under the 287(g) program, which gives funding and immigration authority to local police. “Can you explain to me if there would be any value for us to be involved in this 287(g) program?” asked Councilman Bill Roth. “I see no value at all for us to be involved in this program,” Comeaux replied.

This is the fifth such deal since the administration began this pressure campaign on universities. I know you went to University of Virginia, as did I, and must be following that.

Iran is set to turn off the water in several regions, including Tehran — as the country falls into the grips of its worst drought in decades. The Islamic Republic announced it would be shutting off its water supply on Saturday night due to the mounting crisis which will see the capital dry up — with officials contemplating evacuating it, Haaretz reported. “We are forced to cut off water supply to citizens on some evenings so that reservoirs can refill,” Energy Minister Abbas Alibadi said on state television Saturday. Alibadi suggested that Iranians install pumps to compensate for the lack of pressure and supply gaps.

A disastrous shutdown for Democrats got worse Sunday when Senate Democrats folded on government funding while receiving nothing of substance in return. Eight Senate Democrats voted with 42 Republicans Sunday night on a procedural vote to allow a continuing resolution (CR) funding the government to advance. The motion passed 60 to 40, without a single vote to spare, and will enable a future vote on a clean continuing resolution through January 30, 2026, packaged with three relatively non-controversial appropriations bills extending through the fiscal year: agriculture, military construction-Veterans Affairs, and legislative branch.
