Felon and LGBT activist Bradley ‘Chelsea’ Manning runs for US Senate

Image
Bradley “Chelsea” Manning, who was convicted of violating U.S. espionage law and received taxpayer-funded “sex change” hormones in military prison, announced that he is running in the Democratic primary for a U.S. Senate seat. Manning  came to fame after leaking over 700,000 secret and/or sensitive U.S. government documents to WikiLeaks . He was court-martialed in 2013 and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Manning began that sentence at the United States Disciplinary Barracks , a military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas before President Obama commuted his sentence in 2017. Obama left office shortly after doing so. “It is incredibly ironic that a person who has betrayed his country is now considering running for the U.S. Senate, as is the case with [Bradley] Chelsea Manning ,” Lt. Gen. (ret.) Jerry Boykin, Executive Vice President of the Family Research Council, told LifeSiteNews. “Manning has done tremendous damage to America and should be serving the remainder of his...

Lesbian with ‘wife’ and two kids selected to lead U.S. Air Force Academy

Image
An open lesbian has been chosen to be the next commandant of the U.S. Air Force Academy , according to a  USAF Academy report  and other media. Col. Kristin Goodwin  has a “wife”  and two children. She will take charge of the USAF Academy pending approval by the U.S. Senate . If approved, she likely will assume her new position in May. That is usually a formality, but conservative opposition to her appointment might make it less so. Air Force Academy alumnus and former Navy Chaplain Gordon James (“Chaps”) Klingenschmitt, a conservative activist, is urging concerned citizens to call their U.S. senators to oppose Goodwin’s nomination to lead the USAF cadets. Klingenschmitt, who heads the  Pray in Jesus Name Project , told LifeSiteNews that Goodwin’s appointment under a Trump presidency is part of a “deep state problem of Obama’s appointments remaining in office while the Senate drags its feet to confirm Donald Trump ’s appointments to replace them.” ...

Law firm forces out pro-family leader after he backed Indiana’s religious freedom law

Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, Cincinnati (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) April 8, 2015 ( FRCBlog.com ) -- In early 1991, Curt Smith hired me to serve in the press office of U.S. Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN).  He was my boss for more than three years, working in harness for one of the finest men to serve in the Senate in recent memory. Curt is a gracious, soft-spoken man who has a deep love for people.  He was patient with me as I grew in my role and has been a friend for, now, nearly a quarter of a century. He is also a committed follower of Jesus Christ who, while working for the prestigious law firm Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP , also served as head of the Indiana Family Institute.  Now, due to his support for Indiana Governor Mike Pence’s original religious liberty bill, Curt has lost his job.  As  Indianapolis’s WISH-TV tells it : Until last week Smith was the director of public policy at the Taft Law firm. One of its biggest clients is Cu...

Radical Activist Judges forcing immoral homosexual marriage

Image
U.S. Supreme Court building. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) 2014 has started with a bang... a few days before the end of last year, an activist federal judge in Utah issued a ludicrous decision striking down that state's constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. He did this despite the Supreme Court ruling last summer (in the  Windsor  case) that clearly upheld a state's right to define and regulate marriage. He also ignored past legal precedent from the Supreme Court defending the legality of state constitutional marriage amendments. Rather than rely on precedent, he engaged in rampant speculation that eventually the U. S. Supreme Court would agree with him to make marriage genderless. Talk about imposing a personal viewpoint contrary to law! Well, in the first few weeks of new year, another activist federal judge in Oklahoma has done the same thing — throwing out Oklahoma's constitutional amendment defending marriage! Th...

Are your Senators reflecting your view on Godly Marriage or immoral homosexual marriage?

Image
English: Official portrait of United States Senator Pat Toomey. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The "Employee Non-Discrimination Act of 2013 ( ENDA )" passed in the Senate with a vote count of 64 to 32. The vote followed a weak debate over religious exemptions in the chamber, after the Senate had defeated a proposed amendment offered by Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey that would have expanded conscience protections. Senator Toomey went on after the amendment's defeat to vote for passage of ENDA anyway, along with nine other Senate Republicans! Make no mistake : ENDA is nothing other than a Trojan horse designed to drive people of faith and traditional values further from the public square in our country. But don't just take my word for it! Consider this: even the weak religious exemptions which are included in ENDA — which NOM, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops , Family Research Council , Heritage Action, and many others all consider to be entirely in...

Mark Kirk Kirk, who suffered from a serious stroke in 2012 and recently returned to the Senate after a year recovering, is the 50 th U.S. Senator to come out publicly in favor of redefining marriage to include homosexual couples.  His announcement...

MADISON , November 8, 2012,  – On Tuesday night, Wisconsin ’s Tammy Baldwin became the first openly homosexual candidate to be elected to the U.S. Senate .  Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin. “Having a seat at the table matters and I think we will see a Senate that is more reflective of America. We’re certainly not there yet, but this will be a change that moves us forward,” Baldwin  said  after the election. Homosexual activists celebrated her victory, which coincided with successful initiatives in three states to change the definition of marriage.  “This is a big day for gay women in America, and really, for all communities who aren’t the typical straight, white, wealthy men elected to Congress ,” said homosexual political strategist  Sally Kohn . Baldwin will be replaced in the U.S. House of Representatives by another openly homosexual Democrat , Mark Pocan . “Yesterday reminds us we have much work to do in Wisconsin and in America,” Wisconsin ...

Obama should be impeached for not upholding the DOMA

Image
President Obama’s position on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is “an impeachable offense,” according to Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain . Presidential candidate Herman Cain told attendees on the conference call that impeaching Obama would be "a great thing to do." Cain made the controversial remarks during an evening conference call last Tuesday with bloggers, during which he also admitted that any impeachment effort based upon Obama’s actions on DOMA will not “get off the ground” because Republicans do not control the U.S. Senate . The presidential candidate was referring to Obama’s  order earlier this year  to the Department of Justice not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage federally as a union between one man and one woman, in court. “The president is supposed to uphold the laws of this nation … and to tell the Department of Justice not to uphold the Defense of Marriage Act is a breach of his oath,” said Cain, who al...
