Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Even with the Christmas holiday fast approaching, the team at FRC is focused every day on protecting Americans’ First Amendment rights–your God-given rights. That includes both your freedom to hold and to live in accordance with your religious beliefs and the freedom to proclaim truth in the public square about how the …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: President Biden has now unleashed one of the greatest assaults on religious freedom in modern history. The principles of our First Freedom, guaranteed in our Constitution, that he swore to ‘preserve, protect and defend,’ are now in even greater jeopardy. These founding principles have been challenged for seven years since the Obergefell …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Today is a dark day for religious freedom. The Left’s forces of religious hostility, aided by 12 Republican senators and 39 Republican representatives, advanced what history may ultimately record as one of the greatest assaults on religious freedom in modern history. These members are yielding to the temporal forces of the culture rather …

Semafor reports: Call it a crisis of faith. Despite appointing the conservative judges who ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade — and fervently courting the religious right during his presidency — prominent evangelicals are beginning to shy away from supporting former President Donald Trump’s third bid for office. A major factor is the same issue driving leaders in other parts of …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: On Tuesday night, the U.S. Senate passed the so-called “Respect for Marriage” Act which critics say invites “predatory lawsuits” against people of faith, stigmatizes biblical values, and drives Christians from the public square. Although nearly all Senate Republicans voted for amendments demanding greater respect for religious liberty, 12 Republicans voted for the …

Politico reports: The Republican National Committee is launching a review of the party’s performance in the midterm election and bringing on a team of outside advisers to help guide strategy, as the GOP reckons with its disappointing performance in the election. The RNC is tapping nearly a dozen people to serve in what it’s calling a “Republican Party Advisory Council” …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: If the 12 Republican senators who voted for the Democrats’ same-sex marriage bill don’t have buyer’s remorse, they will. Take it from Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). Ever since his “yea” vote in July, the House Freedom Caucus chair has been squarely in the blast zone of movement conservatives. Now, as his …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: The bill enshrines “the government picking winners and losers on the basis of who adheres to a particular, favored religious orthodoxy — and punishing those that don’t adhere to that,” Senator Mike Lee told Tony Perkins. Its provisions are “likely to culminate in the removal of tax-exempt status from religious institutions” that …

Via press release from hate group leader Tony Perkins: The U.S. Senate today voted to proceed to the so-called Respect for Marriage Act, clearing the 60-vote threshold for cloture by a vote of 62-37 and paving the way for a simple majority vote on final passage. Sens. Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Shelley Capito, Susan Collins, Joni Ernst, Cynthia Lummis, Lisa …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Like free speech, conscience rights, tax-exempt statuses, religious freedom, and every other fundamental value on the chopping block with this bill, the right of parents to have a say in their children’s education would vanish. The second Joe Biden’s pen hits the paper to sign H.R. 8404 into law, the microphones across …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Republicans do not appear to have been able to bring the “big red wave” to the shoreline. “There is no red wave. I don’t even know if you call it a red ripple tonight,” former Rep. Michele Bachmann told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins during a special election night Pray Vote Stand …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Since the start of President Biden’s term, the Senate has proved to be the last line of defense against the torrent of radical legislation coming out of the Pelosi-led House. So far, we’ve managed to block terrible, deceptively named bills like the Equality Act, Women’s Health Protection Act, Respect for Marriage Act, …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Those claiming to be concerned about the threat of Christian nationalism are not concerned that you may be falling into idolatry, they’re concerned for their political power. They take the time to misrepresent you and make you look bad because they are afraid of what you are capable of. You will hear a …

The New York Post reports: Josh Duggar is blaming his former co-worker for his crimes in a new appeal filed in his child pornography case. The disgraced “19 Kids and Counting” star filed the appeal in an Arkansas court Monday, claiming that government agents failed to interview or investigate Caleb Williams, who “regularly used the only [computer] that had child …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Abortion is never medically necessary to save the life of a mother. That tweet struck a nerve — a very vocal and angry nerve. Many users (we’ve lost count at this point) replied to the tweet saying that they were reporting it to Twitter for “misinformation” of some flavor. So much so that …

The Roys Report reports: House Democrats are asking the IRS to review the tax-exempt status of a prominent conservative advocacy group recently reclassified as a church, arguing the organization may be exploiting the designation to avoid scrutiny. Forty Democratic lawmakers, led by U.S. Reps. Suzan DelBene of Washington state and Jared Huffman of California, outlined their concerns in a letter …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Never underestimate the Republican Party’s ability to self-destruct. That’s the one thing years of cultural battles have taught everyone. Heading into November with the elections on a silver platter, the men and women who rebranded themselves as the forces of anti-wokeness have suddenly gone soft on an issue that should be a …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: As time has gone on, Republicans seem to have gotten increasingly comfortable letting the court decide an issue they argued was rightly theirs. That shock was driven home Tuesday when 47 House members walked away from the party’s principles and platform to cast a vote for same-sex marriage. The list included a …

ProPublica reports: According to documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act and given to ProPublica, the FRC filed an application to change its status to an “association of churches,” a designation commonly used by groups with member churches like the Southern Baptist Convention, in March 2020. The agency approved the change a few months later. The FRC is one …

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.
