Peter Montgomery reports at Right Wing Watch: The religious-right group Family Research Council promoted an excited letter to supporters Thursday saying that President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education could be a “game-changer” for FRC’s efforts to “bring faith and the Bible back to public schools.” FRC President Tony Perkins’ letter showcases such a two-front strategy to …

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: One Million Moms has received complaints regarding the insinuated profanity in the new ad campaign from Wendy’s. The commercial features the “$3 Baconator,” but that is not all. Foul language (or implication of it) is unnecessary in this or any advertisement. Yet, that is apparently what Wendy’s intended. An inappropriate slogan is …

NBC News reports: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a challenge to law in Colorado that bans “conversion therapy” aimed at young people questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: Clorox offends conservative viewers in its latest commercial, “Clean Feels Satisfying. Clean Feels Good.” In this ad, a woman is cleaning her house using Clorox, and then, at the end of the commercial, she takes off her bra. It is never appropriate for someone to remove an undergarment during an advertisement. Even …

The red-caped Catholic loons are ever so upset: Please protest this terrible blasphemy! The Hollywood Bowl, an amphitheater in Los Angeles, has scheduled an offensive and sacrilegious depiction of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the “rock opera,” Jesus Christ Superstar, running from 1 – 3 of August. To add insult to injury, Our Lord is being played by a woman …

From hate group leader Bill Donohue: On his first day in office, President Trump issued an executive order declaring there are only “two sexes, male and female.” It says a lot about our society that this even has to be said. This same phenomenon—denying the existence of human nature and Biology 101—exists throughout western civilization. At bottom, this is a …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: Scripture clearly commands believers to love their neighbors as themselves. However, this command to individuals does not apply in the same way to government. Government is tasked with upholding justice, advocating for the poor and helpless, and punishing the wicked. Thus, while neighbor-love prompts many individual Christians to acts of charity at home …

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver: Ken Williams is but one of thousands whose lives have been saved by change counseling.

I would …

The Texas Tribune reports: Gov.

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: President Donald Trump has cleaned house at one of the most controversial organizations in the federal government, announcing a mass firing of employees at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as the White House revealed its deep funding of LGBTQ propaganda in traditionally Christian societies. “Much else of what the agency …

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: NBC’s program Deal or No Deal Island is a spin-off of the Deal or No Deal game show. This new TV-PG-rated show takes place in an island setting rather than a network studio. But that is not the only change the network has made to its game show programming. During the episode …

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports: Lawyers for former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who garnered national attention nearly a decade ago when she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, argued that Davis’ court-ordered payment to a couple to whom she denied a license should be tossed.

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: One Million Moms has received many complaints regarding the new ad campaign from Dunkin’ Donuts.

Via email from hate group leader Brian Brown: Acting in furtherance of President Donald Trump’s wishes on an important issue on NOM’s agenda, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered that henceforth there will be no gay “rainbow” flags flown on US embassy property.

“That was really a national forum, a national stage pulpit that she was standing in. And for her to use that for her own political agenda was wrong. She is a socialist, activist, LGBTQ+ agenda, and that’s, you know, so she’s just wrong. So these are activists, and no question, they hate Trump. “I don’t know why they hate Trump. …
