The Christian Post reports: Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts warned Americans in a Friday press call that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, is the most “anti-faith” presidential candidate in history and that her administration would lead to Christians losing their freedom to worship.

“I think the Democrats do not believe in the nuclear family, and they’ve already destroyed it in the macro, and now they’re trying to destroy it in the micro. In no political situation should you want to undermine a union between a man — a husband and a wife. “And voting is really important. And you have to ask, what …

The Washington Post reports: The long-shot claim was filed in the Northern District of Texas courthouse where Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, a Trump nominee, is the sole judge.

Religion News reports: As a scholar of religion, I attended the “Courage Tour,” a series of religious-political rallies, when it made a stop in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, from Sept. 27-28, 2024.

“I think we’re going to beat the cheat. I had an experience that happened to me—I don’t often talk about him, Pastor Gene, but it happened in my second service, you can go out and look at it, those of you that are watching—where God came in to our church. “And this is what I know: There was a moment …

“This is the difference between Trump and his opponents. It’s maybe the key difference. Of all the many differences, this is maybe the key difference. There’s so much incessant discussion about Trump’s rhetoric, his insensitive language, his crass comments, etc, etc. “When’s the last time he even said anything shocking? You know, I mean, even by their — obvious, it’s …

“So he made fun of Puerto Ricans, Black people, Jews, and Arabs. You know, that’s — pretty equal opportunity offender. Were they offensive jokes? I mean, yeah, if you’re a whiny little baby, they’re offensive to you. If those jokes are offensive to you, then you’re just a whiny, pathetic, ridiculous, sad sack of a human being. “If you heard …

The Daily Beast reports: Donald Trump’s rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden Sunday began on a bizarre note.

“Just a few days ago Vice President Kamala Harris was speaking at a campus event and some students yelled out, ‘JESUS IS LORD!’  Her response? ‘YOU GUYS ARE AT THE WRONG RALLY!’ That speaks volumes, doesn’t it? “In contrast, former President Donald J. Trump welcomes Christians—and prayer—at his events. Does he use salty language sometimes? Yes, but he’s said publicly …

The Texas Tribune reports: In January 2022, Elvie Kingston’s dementia took a turn for the worse.

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: One Million Moms has received many complaints regarding the ongoing, crude Frank’s RedHot “Frank it Up” ad campaign, which features the “I put that $#!t on everything” slogan.

Rick Hutzell writes for the Baltimore Banner: You could hear the spittle fly as the Heritage Foundation shouted out its latest intellectual assault on the Naval Academy. All over Ruth Ben-Ghiat and a lecture the midshipmen likely will never hear. She’s a New York University historian with a book on what happens to the military when authoritarians take power. She …

From an earlier report at Friendly Atheist: The 2024 Cookeville-Putnam County Christmas Parade in Tennessee is going to be a huge event.
