NBC News reports: The Spotsylvania County School Board wasted no time Monday making its mark in the at-times contentious first meeting of the year, which included fiery jabs at the new chairman and squabbles between members.

Posted last night to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: With all respect, President Joe Biden needs to be careful how he denounces those who disagree with him. Hillary Clinton tried that once by calling supporters of President Donald J. Trump “deplorables,” and it didn’t go too well for her. It was an insult to about half the country. This week in …

The Christian Post reports: The 49th annual March for Life is scheduled to take place on Jan. 21, six days after a vaccine mandate is set to take effect in Washington, D.C., where the march is held.

Just in from hate group leader Monica Cole: Hilton’s current commercial “Make an Entrance with the Hilton App” attempts to normalize sin by featuring two men together with a young boy.

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: The rest of the country already celebrated Christmas, but for Democrats, it’s today. To them, the anniversary of the January 6th riot marks one of the greatest political gifts ever given — a terrible stain on our country that Joe Biden’s party will forever exploit and distort to keep the outrage about …

Katherine Stewart writes for the New York Times: The most serious attempt to overthrow the American constitutional system since the Civil War would not have been feasible without the influence of America’s Christian nationalist movement.

Posted today to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: Today marks one year since the attack on our nation’s Capitol. Many people may disagree with me, but I blame the swamp.

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: At this point, the president’s virus failures have been so catastrophic that more people fear Biden’s policies than the virus itself.

It was an easy call, sure, but I predicted this yesterday: During an interview with conservative Christian broadcaster Todd Starnes, Schmeck said that he hoped people would find Jesus through the “Let’s Go Brandon” phrase that he used to slur Biden. Some conservatives have used the phrase as a substitute for “F–k Joe Biden.” “Do you have any aspirations for …
