Hate group leader Tony Perkins writes: As preparations were underway for a military parade through our nation’s capital, I went for an early morning run on the National Mall. I had to navigate around tanks, personnel carriers, and helicopters staged for the celebration. It reminded me of similar scenes after 9/11, when military vehicles were stationed around the Pentagon and …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: It’s been a while since Americans could actually sit back and enjoy June. Now, instead of bumping into rainbows in every aisle and choking on the colored logos of every conceivable brand, there’s some freedom from the suffocating fumes of Pride Month. In these last two years, the march to pull companies back …

Tony Perkins writes for the Family Research Council: In Isaiah chapter 59, the prophet lamented a troubling condition in his day, declaring: “Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah recognized that without truth, integrity, justice, and fairness become unattainable. When truth collapses, genuine justice is compromised. …

Tony Perkins writes for the Christian Post: Recent reporting from outlets like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times shows that major corporations are quietly backing away from the signature events of Pride Month. The movement once championed by boardrooms is now being met with increasing caution — even silence. I’ve often questioned the wisdom of labeling a …

From the Family Research Council’s website: By all accounts, LGBT Pride Month 2025 will be conspicuously low-key. Appalled by Trump’s electoral victory and alarmed by the signal voters (a.k.a. consumers) sent, major corporations that once supported Pride events have scrambled for the exits as quickly as if someone had pulled the fire alarm. These developments bring relief to normal Americans, …

“My opinion is that I think he was selected as a check to American power and to create division at home for the Trump administration, making it more difficult for him. Unlike – and you’ll know this reference – Pope John Paul, who worked very closely with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to really reshape the geopolitical order globally.” – …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Hate group leader Tony Perkins writes: Tragedy has struck our nation again with the devastating fires in California. Major news outlets call the Southern California landscape “apocalyptic.” That same word described the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which battered the East Coast three months ago. It’s unfortunate that “apocalyptic” is being used more often to describe disasters — whether natural or …

Just in via press release: This Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. CT, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, a Louisiana resident and former state representative, will hold a one-hour broadcast “Pray for the Nation” in response to the terrorist attack in New Orleans. Christian leaders including Pastor Carter Conlon, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Michele Bachmann, Dr. …

“This really goes back to something Ben Franklin said at the Constitutional Convention when he called for prayer, when he said that ‘unless the lord guards the city, the watchmen watch in vain.’ And this is one of those situations, Todd, that shows we need God’s hand of protection upon this nation. “That’s what I was communicating to the Speaker …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: While Trump probably did have fun “trolling” Democrats with some of these picks, as Sen. John Fetterman said, they’re not the only ones with reservations. At least three of the president’s nominees are giving both parties heartburn heading into the holidays: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Matt Gaetz, and Pete Hegseth. Welcome to the …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: It’s been a good 14 years since Washington duked it out over recess appointments — but Donald Trump seems determined to change that. In his rush to confirm key officials, the president-elect sent a strong message to Republicans on social media, insisting that whoever leads the Senate (which we now know will be …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: In a move many conservatives and Christians find devastating, the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate are walking further away from their pro-life base. Former President Donald Trump posted Friday evening on Truth Social, “My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” The term “reproductive rights” is used to …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: As the 2024 presidential election draws closer, more Americans tune in for information about the major candidates. For spiritually active, governance engaged conservatives (SAGE Cons), who know firsthand the formative role a church can play, a candidate’s church background is an important issue that often receives little coverage in the mainstream media. To …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: Unlike past years, when the media was welcome in the proceedings, “there’s kind of this cone of silence,” Perkins warned. Not only were the 112 delegates ordered to leave their cell phones outside the room, but none of the participants had access to the proposed platform language in advance. “That’s not the way …

“On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing ‘that all political connection between [the American colonies] and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved.’ And the rest, as they say, is history. “The Declaration mentions God three times: first as the Creator, then as Supreme Judge of the world, and …

Via press release from Christian Newswire: Family Research Council Action Chairman Tony Perkins, who is an elected member of the Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee from Louisiana, is announcing, in conjunction with scores of other conservative groups, the launch of the Platform Integrity Project. This coalition seeks to work with the RNC and the Trump campaign for an open …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: In a major departure from past years, news broke over the weekend that the Trump team is trying to “streamline” the GOP platform, telling delegates that it should be short, clear, and concise — code, some worry, for leaving core principles behind. Adding to the alarm, this year’s platform committee meetings will be …
