Dolly Parton And God… “My Faith Impacts Everything I Do”

May 28, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Dolly Parton And God… “My Faith Impacts Everything I Do”

By BARBARA SIMPSON Anyone who has paid any attention at all to show business and the people in it knows that religion often has no visible place in their work. If they practice any religious beliefs in their lives, they tend to keep the details to themselves.There is a good reason for that. Generally, people don’t like to be “preached at.” When they are considering entertainment, they want just that — to be entertained and leave the issue of religion and God and preaching at home and private.I must admit, I generally agree with that, so when I saw and read about the interview that country music star Dolly Parton gave to Fox News, I was surprised and pleasantly so.…Continue Reading

Release The Manifesto

May 27, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Release The Manifesto

By JOSH HAMMER On March 27, a transgender lunatic named Audrey Hale shot up a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tenn. The shooter, who tragically killed three adults and three children before being neutralized by well-trained Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officers, was a 28-year-old biological female who had “transitioned” to a public-facing male “gender identity.”Nashville police also confirmed that the shooter once attended the school herself.Based simply on those established facts, one might offer a reasonable educated guess as to the likely motive of this horrific school shooting: a one-time Christian seems to have spurned the faith of her upbringing, adopted a vogue new worldview that is in irreconcilable tension with Christianity, and lashed out in one final kamikaze…Continue Reading

By TOM CIESIELKA WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeNews) —Thomas More Society attorneys have asked the United States Supreme Court to take up the case of undercover journalist David Daleiden, whose 30-month investigation generated videos and evidence that spurred congressional hearings, criminal referrals, policy and law changes, along with a vigorous national debate on the buying and selling of “baby body parts.”The Thomas More Society’s Petition for Writ of Certiorari seeks a reversal of lower court decisions that permanently prohibit Daleiden from publishing video he took of National Abortion Federation (“NAF”) trade shows and that awarded NAF over $6 million in attorney’s fees and costs.The National Abortion Federation sued Daleiden in 2015, asking a California district court to suppress the videos recorded and…Continue Reading

A Real Rainbow

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY We were driving up the two-lane highway that runs from Williams, Ariz., to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, on a trip to celebrate our son’s graduation from college.This highway runs through a rolling prairie land that dips and climbs so that sometimes a driver can see for miles ahead and sometimes for only a few dozen feet.The distance that you could see and the condition of the road that afternoon were also affected by massive thunderclouds that swept in from the Northwest and, here and there, let loose torrents of rain.Nonetheless, depending on the immediate terrain, the cars on this two-lane road were traveling at anywhere from 65 to 80 miles per hour. It…Continue Reading

Would DeSantis Be Better?. . . Trump Raises New Concerns About How He Regards Permissive-Abortion Issue

May 23, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Would DeSantis Be Better?. . . Trump Raises New Concerns About How He Regards Permissive-Abortion Issue

By DEXTER DUGGAN Donald Trump’s entry into the 2024 presidential race brought what could be described as his characteristic rambunctious style. He’s not a garden party; he’s a circus. He may be a loose cannon to his foes, but a focused cannon to his admirers.Before he won the White House in 2016, many conservatives had to take Trump’s candidacy on faith because they knew they never could take his radical Democratic opponent, pro-abortion extremist Hillary Clinton, in any way, shape, or form. As it turned out, for all the digressions as president, Trump often got the job done that conservatives wanted.After the Supreme Court reversed the blatantly unconstitutional pro-abortion Roe opinion of 1973 with the states’-rights Dobbs in 2022, anti-Trump…Continue Reading

May 22, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Germaine Cousin . . . The Neglected Shepherdess Turned Saint

By RAY CAVANAUGH Life got off to an unfavorable start for Germaine Cousin. Her right hand was severely deformed. Her mother died soon after her birth. And not long after, she fell victim to a disfiguring disease. Her grim existence would barely reach adulthood, but the unbreakable decency of her spirit has managed to give centuries of inspiration. The patron saint of abandoned persons, St. Germaine Cousin’s feast day is June 15.She was born in 1579 in a French village about 10 miles from Toulouse. Her family lived on a once-prosperous farm that had severely declined.

May 21, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on The Dark History Behind The First Birth Control Pill

(Wanderer Editor’s Note: Liberty Counsel released this report on May 9, 2023. It is available on lc.org. Mat Staver, a Southern Baptist, chairs Liberty Counsel.) + + Sixty-three years ago today, May 9, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the world’s first birth control pill forever, changing America’s cultural landscape. While conflicting ideologies about sex and reproductive health remain, the drug’s creation and dark road to approval through highly questionable clinical trials conducted by doctors with unethical methods, at the expense of the women in those trials, has not yet had its full reckoning.On May 9, 1960, the FDA approved the hormonal, oral contraceptive pill Enovid, a 10-milligram dose of estrogen and progesterone, which prevented ovulation and pregnancy…Continue Reading

May 20, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Are Unions Finally Figuring This Out? The Green Movement Is A Jobs Killer

By STEPHEN MOORE Could it be that union bosses are finally waking up to the cold reality that the greatest threat to steel workers, the United Auto Workers, miners, machinists, and the Teamsters is the radical climate change agenda of the environmentalists?The green movement has taken the Democratic Party hostage — and President Joe Biden’s all-in embrace of far-left green policies is wreaking havoc on rank-and-file union jobs.The United Auto Workers recently announced it would withhold its endorsement of Biden as he runs for a second term.“The federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition, with no strings attached and no commitment to workers,” UAW President Shawn Fain recently declared. “The EV transition is at serious risk of…Continue Reading

By TYLER O’NEIL WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeNews) — The Department of Health and Human Services has rescinded its effective demand that a Catholic hospital snuff out a candle it keeps burning in the chapel, a candle that HHS called a threat to hospital safety. (See report in last week’s Wanderer.)“The game was simply not worth the candle for HHS,” Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket, the religious freedom law firm representing the hospital, told The Daily Signal in a written statement Friday, May 5. “It realized it would be playing with fire in court if it stood by its absurd demand, so it chose wisely.
