Hate Groups

The Daily Beast reports: The leader of the right-wing and COVID anti-vax 1776 Restoration Movement—formerly called The People’s Convoy—was arrested near the National Mall on Wednesday after his group came to town protesting non-existent mandates. Far-right Proud Boy member and leader David “Santa” Riddell was taken into custody for a warrant out of Maryland, D.C., Metropolitan Police officers told The …

Nashville’s NBC News affiliate reports: Tennessee judges have dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Knoxville couple who alleged that a state-sponsored Christian adoption agency refused to help them because they are Jewish. The lawsuit challenged a 2020 state law that installed legal protections for private adoption agencies to reject state-funded placement of children to parents based on religious beliefs. The …

Rolling Stone reports: At an evangelical victory party in front of the Supreme Court to celebrate the downfall of Roe v. Wade last week, a prominent Capitol Hill religious leader was caught on a hot mic making a bombshell claim: that she prays with sitting justices inside the high court. “We’re the only people who do that,” Peggy Nienaber said. …

The Boston Herald reports: A group of about 100 marchers identifying themselves by flyers as belonging to the white nationalist group the Patriot Front, cut through the heart of downtown Saturday sparking a confrontation.

Posted today to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: The “liberal world order”?? Democrats in the White House aren’t ashamed of their socialist Communist ideology—they’re out in the open with it. White House economic advisor Brian Deese told CNN that the high prices at the gas pump were what America has to pay for “the future of the liberal world order.” I …

Rolling Stone reports: Soon after the draft of its decision stripping abortion rights got leaked, the Supreme Court resembled a fortress. The courthouse was ringed with eight-foot fencing and public streets and walkways near the grounds were closed to the public. There was thick irony in the fact that the high court justices had created a “buffer zone” to limit …

The Christian Post reports: More than a month after his arrest on DUI and weapons charges, Fellowship Baptist Church in Sidney, Montana, has removed Pastor Jordan Daniel “J.D.” Hall from ministry due to allegations of “serious sin.” Hall, known for his scathing criticisms of Christian leaders on his now-defunct polemics website Pulpit & Pen and, more recently, Protestia, has also …

The Hill reports: Justice Clarence Thomas on Monday expressed his desire to revisit a landmark 1964 ruling that makes it relatively difficult to bring successful lawsuits against media outlets for defamation.

Posted to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: On Saturday President Joe Biden signed what has been deemed the most sweeping gun control law in decades. He says it will save lives. I’m concerned that this bill is just a way to make politicians feel like they have done something, when really all they have done is spend billions more on government …

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: Mattel recently announced its launch of the first transgender Barbie doll as part of its #TRANSISBEAUTIFUL Tribute Collection, modeled after the Orange Is the New Black actor and LGBTQ activist Laverne Cox. Mattel created a Barbie in his likeness, wearing a red, sheer evening gown with a faux leather strapless top, a …

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver: Joe Biden issued an executive order this week to, in his words, “Prevent so-called ‘conversion therapy’ with a historic initiative to protect children from the harmful practice.” Biden is either clueless, a liar or both. We are well acquainted with his derisive term “conversion therapy,” which is not a counseling term, nor …

Military.com reports: At least five members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front who were arrested near an Idaho Pride event last week had a military background — one is a current member of the National Guard — continuing the disturbing trend of military members and veterans playing key roles in extremist groups and being charged with crimes.

It’s a busy weekend for Monica Cole: Pizza, Hut, the once kid-friendly family restaurant, is saturated in absolute filth, exploiting America’s children to be “groomed” by wokeness. Pizza Hut is now promoting a book about drag kids for its “Book It!” reading incentive program to indoctrinate children into transgenderism and homosexuality. It has been added this month for Gay Pride …

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: Alerting all parents! Disney has outdone itself, and not in a good way. In case you missed our first warning, Disney has announced it will restore a previously cut lesbian kissing scene in its June Pixar release of the animated movie Lightyear. The film will premiere this Friday, June 17 so 1MM …

Posted to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: I really like the photo of Coach Joe Kennedy that Sports Illustrated used on their daily cover—but I didn’t like their story or their tweet about it. And neither did a lot of other people. Former NFL kicker Jay Feely was one who took issue. He tweeted, “Disappointing article…I knelt and prayed after every …

PBS reports: The City Council in Nebraska’s capital city has rescinded an anti-discrimination measure that extended protections to sexual orientation and gender identity, just four months after unanimously approving it.

The Hill reports: A controversial conservative Catholic organization is urging parents to “Hide the Pride” during Pride Month — by checking out any LBGTQ-related books they see at their local libraries so that no children will see them. The group, Catholic Vote, says “recent polls” show “American moms and dads do not want their children exposed to sexual and ‘trans’ …

Posted yesterday to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: I appreciate these Tampa Bay Rays players who said no to endorsing and celebrating sin during Saturday night’s game. They declined to wear the team’s special multi-colored caps and uniform sleeve decal. Pitcher Jason Adam told the Tampa Bay Times, “A lot of it comes down to faith…So it’s a hard decision. Because …

Posted today to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: President Biden and his administration want to ban certain caliber handguns. That won’t help the problem. What would make a difference is a ban on all of the movies, television shows, and video games graphically depicting gun violence, bloody gore, and death. We are a nation addicted to violence—and they call it entertainment. …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: FRC is ready to take our place on the wall and fill the growing void for news from a biblical worldview by launching a new site, The Washington Stand. In addition to commentary from names you know (and some we’ll introduce you to), we’ve expanded our bench to include a team of …
