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 …

“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 …

From the Family Research Council’s website: Tolerance is not a Christian virtue; it is rather an earthly shadow or purely social mirroring of the fuller virtue of mercy. As is made abundantly, almost appallingly evident in the form of Christ crucified — that bloodied and mangled God-man hanging upon a broken tree — mercy is forgiveness of some evil. Mercy …

“You have an administration that is pushing this transgender agenda that is indoctrinating our children, marginalizing the relationship between parent and child. “We see religious institutions like adoption agencies being put out of business because they’re being called bigoted and hate-filled. “We see this administration working with groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center that target Christian organizations and churches …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: “In recent months, both floods and tornadoes have ripped through parts of the country’s Midwest and Southeast region, upending people’s lives and shattering their homes and businesses,” Family Research Council President Tony Perkins noted during Wednesday’s “Washington Watch.” “We need to ask this question, why?” Perkins told The Washington Stand. “What’s going on, …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Every June, politicians, big corporations, sports teams, popular brands, and celebrities all join together to collectively signal their support for LGBT ideology. Like them, the Biden campaign is also choosing to spend time this month to focus on the LGBT community in an effort to secure their vote. The president’s campaign has promised …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: The Louisiana legislature has passed a bill that “requires schools that receive public money to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms,” Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said on Thursday’s “Washington Watch,” and “the anti-Christian Left is convulsing.” “We’re focused on the historical aspect of the Ten Commandments, which all of our laws …

Posted to the Family Research Council’s website: NBC News is the latest to stir the pot, insisting that they spoke to nine people close to the Trump campaign who warned that there’s a strategy afoot to stop conservatives from moving the party platform “too far to the right” on things like abortion and same-sex marriage. That’s sounding plenty of alarms …
