I went to Europe expecting to be somewhat discouraged by what I would see. I returned exhilarated. The LORD is not done with his people yet and, amidst all of the anger and bitterness, he has his Päivi Räsänens and his many anonymous young people who will joyfully carry the gospel to their generation and beyond.

Massachusetts Attacking Pregnancy Centers With a $1 Million Taxpayer Funded Campaign These officials claim Massachusetts has more “anti-abortion” centers. They mislead patients to lure them away from baby murder “reproductive health” clinics because, oh my goodness. A woman might change her mind and CHOOSE to keep her baby or give the baby up for adoption.
*gasp* Again, not for choice. For abortion.

Today's Students Are Dangerously Ignorant of Our Nation's History. And Our Failing Education System Is to Blame Sixty percent of college students could not correctly identify the term lengths of members serving in U.S. Congress. Sixty-three percent were unable to identify the chief justice of the Supreme Court. These are multiple-choice questions. Students did not have to recall John Roberts’s name, they merely had to recognize it, and a large majority failed. The same is true for the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, whose name was only known to 35% of students. Sixty-eight percent did not know that impeachment trials occur before the Senate, despite living through two presidential impeachments as well as the impeachment trial of a cabinet official.

The Biden Administration Has Been Involved in Massive Child Trafficking One whistleblower, assigned to process minors near the border, said that after a group alerted supervisors to the fact that children were being placed with people who clearly were not their relatives and that there was evidence of sadistic abuse, the Biden administration’s DHS Office of Refugee Resettlement took her off the job and retaliated against her, instead of acting on the facts they had uncovered.
The Biden administration apparently shoveled children out to the homes of poorly-vetted volunteers as fast as it could to avoid holding them in secure facilities — Joe Biden had painted those as his rival Donald Trump putting “kids in cages,” and wanted to avoid those optics at all costs, Sen.

Forbidden Fruit and the Classroom: The Huge American Sex-Abuse Scandal That Educators Scandalously Suppress The extent of the problem may shock many Americans. The topic has long been shrouded by a curtain held by various actors in the drama: schools reluctant to go public with embarrassing and possibly criminal activity, unions fighting for members’ privacy and sometimes state laws that protect it, and a government reluctant to ask hard questions that would gather reliable data.
But the cases and tactics often used to cover them up have become common enough to earn an ugly nickname: “passing the trash.”
“DOE does not and never has tracked sexual misconduct committed by adults against students,” said Billie-Jo Grant, a professor at California Poly State University who is one of the nation’s top researchers on the topic.
It is common to hear critics of homeschooling point out that children kept at home all day are isolated from adults who might witness family abuse, and thus, one important function of schools, especially public schools, is to act as a kind of watchdog for kids who might be mistreated by their parents. There’s a kind of logic to this, but of course it begs the question of whether children are generally safer in the care of unrelated adults employed by the state than in their own homes. Despite what most people might assume, this is not a question that gets a lot of attention from researchers, but this is not as strange as it might at first appear. There are things we all agree it is more polite not to know.

Even by their own admission, the Satanic Temple is far from a religious group. Their goal is to force the complete separation of church and state, even to the point of enforcing the creation of a secular religion that focuses on self-worship, such as with the Satanic ritual abortion. In so doing, they adopt the trappings of religion without a core of religiosity. The basis of their religion is the disruption of others' religions and their goal is to prevent government funding from going to a group that has religion at its core. If their past behavior is any indicator of future intent, they will sue Florida for access to the chaplain program or to force it to shut down.
