Reverend Franklin Graham excoriated Democrat Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s claim that the “Bible is silent on abortion,” calling the statement an “absolute lie.” (snip) “The Word of God tells us we are created in the image of God and consistently underscores the value of human life. Jeremiah 1:5 says, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…’ In 2021, this same Democratic candidate opposed a bill to ban men from women’s sports, saying that ‘God is non-binary.’ Don’t be deceived by wicked politicians spouting lies like this,” he continued.

Franklin Graham, you silly man, you know the word abortion is not in the Bible. Everybody knows that. Just like homosexuality is not in most translations. Holy God never-ever-ever is referred to as she in the Bible; but don't mention that to the demons that dwell among us.Their heads might explode and evil stuff might get all over you.

Thank you #5. I appreciate the point #4 was making but the Ten Commandments clearly and succinctly tells us about homosexuality and abortion. Commandments #5 and 6 specifically. #5 - Honor your father and mother. #6 - Do not murder. Anything else said is just trying to bring about confusion. . .

Abortion is not the unpardonable sin, but true believers need to acknowledge that it is sin in God's eyes.

RE: The Bible about infants in the womb. I refer to the story of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. After the Angel Gabriel vanished, the Bible/Gospel says Mary, having learned that her cousin Elizabeth had conceived a child in her old age because "with God anything is possible", left Nazareth and traveled to visit Elizabeth to aid her. The story states that when Elizabeth heard Mary's voice, the infant in her womb "lept for joy." This story is the strongest passage in the entire Bible confirming the humanity/divinity of the unborn Jesus in Mary's womb and the unborn John, the Baptist.

Talarico, like every American, is entitled to believe whatever he likes. However, he is NOT entitled to redefine basic Christianity, by redefining sin to be acceptable human behavior. Christianity is the faith in which the sins of men requires their need for the Atonement of Christ for their reconciliation to God. Talarico's problem is that he has redefined sin to exclude homosexuality...and if men no longer sin, then they no longer need a Savior. In hindsight, Talarico has not just redefined Christianity...he has denied it altogether.

I meant the words abortion and homosexuality are not in the Bible as viewed by those who don't believe God makes reference to either.

Ziegler concisely reports the facts and identifies “the subject judge,” as the Eleventh Circuit Judicial Council Order gingerly puts it, or “the Subject Judge,” as the 20-page memorandum attached to the Order gingerly puts it. Ziegler has identified Judge Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia as the Subject Judge.

The House approved a war powers resolution Wednesday that would halt the US military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long war that has reordered politics at home and abroad. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war, abruptly shutting down floor action two weeks ago when the war powers resolution was on the verge of approval. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on and as Trump struggles to negotiate a quick resolution. The roll call Wednesday was 215-208,

Mom’s not the word. New York state Democrats passed a bill to erase words like “mother” and “father” from Family Court Law — in the latest gender-neutral rewriting in the state’s official records. “Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” and “paternity” proceedings would become “parentage” proceedings under the woke bill that was rammed through both houses of the state legislature this week. A “putative father” in paternity proceedings would now be defined as “an alleged parent” under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and goes to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.

Ballots were sent out for Tuesday’s primary on May 4 to every eligible voter, which amounts to over 23 million people. Folks have been voting ever since. So Tuesday marks the end of a seemingly never-ending period that ends this evening; it’s hardly election day. Well, perhaps we’ll know the winners and the losers by the end of the evening, you might argue, so we can still call it "election night."

The U.S. Supreme Court on June 2 intervened again to confirm its previous ruling that will allow Alabama to move forward with a map eliminating racial gerrymandering. In Allen v. Milligan, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that Alabama is right to redraw its congressional map to eliminate race-based districts, just as it ruled in Louisiana v. Callais and Allen v. Caster. The Voting Rights Act does not allow race-based gerrymandering, the Court previously ruled, and that still holds true in spite of an activist District Court. The reality is that judicial activists are mad because the map is likely to favor Republicans once it is drawn
