Hate Groups

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. Thomas’s statement came in response to the court’s decision to turn away an appeal from a Christian nonprofit group who disputed their characterization by the civil rights watchdog group …

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. Winston Durham …

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 Lincoln City Council voted 4-3 Monday to rescind the February revision to the city’s fairness ordinance in the face of a successful petition effort by a conservative group that …

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 …

From the Pacific Legal Foundation: Today, Maureen Murphy of Washington and John Huddleston of California filed a class action lawsuit against the U.S. Census Bureau, challenging the agency’s demand for inappropriate and intrusive information about them and their families. The American Community Survey’s deeply personal questions include questions about a person’s job, gender and sexual orientation, whether parents and children …

Newsweek reports: A week after saying that he wouldn’t apologize for using homophobic slurs in sermons, Texas pastor Jonathan Shelley, the leader of the anti-gay Stedfast Baptist Church, said in a city council meeting that Pride Month is an “abomination” that shouldn’t be promoted. Shelley addressed the Arlington City Council, where a meeting was being held about acknowledging Pride month, …

Posted today to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: Now the death toll has risen to 19 children killed and two teachers in the senseless rampage of hate at Robb Elementary School yesterday. Many others were injured. We are seeing more and more violence displayed across our nation. One day this country is going to have to come to grips with an …

Newsweek reports: A right-wing Tennessee pastor who said Democrats could not be Christians due to the party’s pro-abortion rights stance has claimed he has given up his tax-exempt status.

Franklin Graham, doing the important work for Jesus: I’M CALLING ON MCDONALD’S TO BRING BACK THE FRIED APPLE PIE IN AMERICA! I just arrived in Sheffield, UK, where I’ll be preaching on Wednesday night and my first stop was—you can guess where. One of their local McDonald’s restaurants! Yes, I had my Quarter Pounder with cheese—and of course a fried …
