  • As we've been reminded lately, there will always be a fiercely indignant wing of the church who believes that Donald Trump is morally unfit for office -- and no amount of good he does for the world can change that. In 2016, I might not have agreed with that sentiment, but I would have understood it. Now, four years later, the argument is too flawed and naïve to take seriously. Do I think character matters? Absolutely. Anyone who listened to me four years ago knows that I wrestled with the same questions most Christians did after our primary candidates didn't win the nomination. Ultimately, it came down to two options -- just as it does today: Donald Trump or a radical liberal. Back then, I didn't know what Donald Trump would do, but I knew what Hillary Clinton would. She'd appoint activist judges, support/fund abortion until the moment of birth, strong-arm countries (including our own) to adopt LGBT extremism. Did I think Donald Trump would be a champion of conservatism? I think my words were, "I doubt it." There were no guarantees about the kind of president that Trump would be. He'd never been in office. He didn't have a political record. All we had to go on were his promises and the fact that he wasn't Hillary Clinton. To my surprise, and every other conservative's, it turned out to be more than enough. More, in fact, than we ever thought possible. He shattered records on originalist judges, pro-life policy, national and international religious freedom, he surrounded himself with a team of principled men and women of faith (including his vice president) and hired more to run his government agencies. He didn't just stop Barack Obama's outrageous policies, he overturned them -- taking on an agenda that no other Republican (moral or not) had the stomach to. On policy, he's arguably the most conservative president this country has ever had. Is he a sinner? Of course. Until Jesus comes back, our only options are imperfect people. So would you rather have a sinner who saves human lives and protects freedom -- or a sinner who funds the killing of innocent children in the womb and shuts down the freedom we need to preach the gospel?

  • As the debates over Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court come to a close following Sunday's successful cloture vote advancing Barrett's confirmation in the Senate, Democrats are using their final hours on the Senate floor to push a radical pro-abortion agenda. Convinced that Barrett will overturn Roe v. Wade if given the opportunity, Senate Democrats have turned what is supposed to be an apolitical process into a blatantly partisan debate over abortion. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) delivered what was probably supposed to be a heartfelt speech on the Senate floor about Heidi Peters, the wife of Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who had a late-term abortion in the 1980s. Heidi wanted her child until she discovered four months into her pregnancy that her child had a life-threatening fetal deformity. When the expected miscarriage did not arrive, Heidi's health deteriorated until she obtained an abortion which may have saved her life. Quoting Peters, Warren said these events "enacted an incredible emotional toil," and went on to explain why the confirmation of Barrett, which might lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, would endanger women like Heidi. "The right to make such decisions as a family, free of politics, has never been more at stake," Warren told the Senate. Peters' and his wife's story is undeniably sad. The couple has suffered greatly and deserves the compassion of all good-hearted Americans. However, Warren conflates two very different kinds of abortions when telling their story: those due to fetal deformity and those which save the life of the mother. The former are discriminatory and tell a child with a disability they are unwanted, while the latter are legal and much less controversial. The reality is, few are currently seeking to ban abortions which are necessary to save a mother's life, and such abortions are exceedingly rare, anyway. Elective late-term abortions, however, are not, despite the fact that they are very unpopular among Americans. Warren was not alone in trying to push the Democratic Party's radical abortion agenda.

  • Read our staff op-ed in @wearebreitbart! Excerpt below. "President Trump is delivering on his promise to appoint judges that respect our Constitution. Before his election, he vowed to restore the judiciary and name Supreme Court nominees whose judicial philosophy reflects that of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. As President Trump said during the second presidential debate in 2016, “I am looking to appoint judges very much in the mold of Justice Scalia. I’m looking for judges—and I’ve actually picked twenty of them so that people would see—highly respected.” The impending Supreme Court confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who clerked for Justice Scalia, is further proof President Trump is keeping his pledge to end decades of judicial activism. Judge Barrett, moreover, is exactly the woman to achieve that goal. As she said during her hearings, she is bound by the rule of law. “Judges can’t just wake up one day and say, ‘I have an agenda. I like guns, I hate guns. I like abortion, I hate abortion,’ and walk in like a royal queen and impose their will on the world.” For far too long, that hasn’t been the case with many of our Supreme Court justices, who for years have been circumventing Congress and acting as super-legislators instead of an independent third branch of government designed to keep the other two branches honest. As Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said, “[D]ecades ago, activists on the far left decided that democracy was too cumbersome. It was too slow. And it was too difficult to persuade their fellow citizens that their policy prescriptions were sound and wise.” Liberal activists sought to do through the Court what they couldn’t accomplish through the people’s representatives. “So, instead they resorted to litigation, trying to get judges to mandate the public policy outcomes they wanted—even if the voters disagreed,” said Cruz."

  • Maybe the mistake for Joe Biden wasn't going into his basement -- but coming out. After Thursday’s debate, liberals have to be counting their lucky stars that so many Americans have already voted, because if that was their last impression of the Democrat running for president, it was not a good one. When Biden wasn't telling outright lies, he was shocking viewers with the truths that he let slip about his radical agenda on oil, energy, lockdowns, socialized medicine, and government regulation. For a man who says he cares about the environment, he created a mess. And not even the Left's allies in the media will be able to mop up this one. On the rare moments when Joe Biden was telling the truth, his advisors were probably wishing he could be interrupted. His oil "spill" was one of the worst moments of his campaign, horrifying tens of millions of voters who care about jobs, energy, and the U.S. economy. Saying you want the oil industry to disappear is as big of a swing-state kiss-off as it gets. And yet, Biden kept repeating it. "I would transition away from the oil industry." "That's a big statement," Trump said, genuinely surprised. "It is a big statement," Biden agreed. Even moderator Kristen Welker then seemed stunned, asking Biden, "Why would you do that?" By that point, Biden's advisors were desperately wishing they had control of the mute button. A better question might be: what wouldn't Biden shut down? He wants to turn off the lights in the oil industry, the economy, he wants to lock us all back down, and force us to wear masks. He's not Sleepy Joe Biden -- he's Board 'Em Up Biden! But if the night was a disaster for Joe, it wasn't the media's fault. They did everything in their power to win the evening for Joe, right down to the questions themselves. Did we hear a single thing about Joe Biden's late-term abortion extremism or his plan for eight-year-old gender transitions? No. If voters were truly on board with Joe Biden on his anti-faith, abortion, LGBT agenda, the moderators would have tripped over themselves to cover it. They didn't. And that ought to say everything voters need to know about where this country would be headed. More at frcaction.org

  • On October 15 during a town hall event, Joe #Biden said something truly disturbing: "The idea that an 8-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, 'you know, I decided I want to be transgender' ... there should be zero discrimination." Let's pause and think about that for a second. Should 8-year-old children, who often can't make up their mind about what they want for lunch, be given completely free reign to "change" their gender through drugs that permanently block normal growth and cause irreversible sterility and through surgery that mutilates their bodies? Joe Biden thinks they should, and he has promised to "flat-out change the law" to make sure that not even the child's own parents have any say in the matter. Abigail Shrier, who authored the must-read new book "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters," joined the eighth episode of FRC's Pray Vote Stand 2020 webcast series and framed the transgender issue bluntly. "One in four teenagers are now identifying as some version of LGBTQ," she noted. "Starting as young as kindergarten in public schools, we're indoctrinating gender confusion. And then the moment the child has a revelation 'oh, I must be trans,' we immediately affirm them. So this is something that we are very much pushing-facilitating, and then in sort of a monstrous way, patting ourselves on the back for accepting what we've actually made a foregone conclusion, which is the permanent medicalization of a whole generation of children." As Shrier tragically observed, parents who dare question the new #transgender orthodoxy are being threatened with loss of custody of their gender-confused children, and powerful medical accrediting organizations are forcing doctors to affirm gender confusion despite any misgivings they might have. So what's at the heart of all this? "There are so many things," Shrier said. "America is a lot less religious than we used to be and you're seeing some of the effects of that. We've lost our herd immunity to moral idiocy, which I think our population used to generally have." Continue reading in the comments below.
