Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: The State Department launched its 45th human rights report Tuesday — but after Secretary Antony Blinken’s latest comments, no one is quite sure what “rights” we’re actually talking about.

“Did God lend a hand in freeing the Ever Given? After a week of blocking trade, on Monday a higher than normal tide brought on by an old-fashioned Super Moon helped to free the massive container ship.

Posted today to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: This is a dangerous marketing endeavor if you ask me.

“These are challenging times. The policies that are coming out of this administration are literally from the pit of hell.

Posted today by the Family Research Council: The Bible’s Teaching on Homosexuality – Romans 1:18-32 – The apostle Paul explains that humanity has rejected God, exchanging the truth about Him and the things He created for a lie.

The Friendly Atheist has the transcript: CALLER LISA: My question is regarding demon possession. Can babies be possessed, and if so, does the Age of Accountability come into play for salvation?

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver: On March 27, 2020, the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary declared that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use (EUA) of drugs and biological products for COVID-19.
