WATCH: Elizabeth Warren says she will allow a transgender child to pick her future Secretary of Education
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren has said her future Secretary of Education will be chosen by a transgender child to ensure public schools are a “welcoming community”. Speaking on Sunday at a town hall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Warren said her future nominee will be subject to an interview with a young transgender person, and the nominee will only advance to the position if the child approves of the candidate. “It starts with the Secretary of Education – who has a lot to do with where we spend our money, with what gets advanced in our public schools, with…
Morrison’s no retreat, no surrender Press Club speech shows a Prime Minister eager to serve
In a speech for the National Press Club on Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison delivered the equivalent of a State of the Union address. From its content to his delivery, it was obvious that the Prime Minister was addressing the nation, not just the top end town. His address didn’t present a government in damage control, but a government that is in control. Morrison was right to not use the opportunity to give ground to noisy dishonest critics on social media. Many of whom come across as detached from everyday Australia, and seem to exist only as a deliberate distraction…
Calls for a new state police force to combat ‘far-right’ extremism show it’s time to end the far-left vs far-right facade
The late, great, Roger Scruton once articulated that one of the most successful lies of the 20th century is the idea that the ‘far-left’ is nothing like the ‘far-right.’ Scruton noted that: The success of Communist propaganda could be found in how it has persuaded so many people that fascism and communism are polar opposites and that there is a single scale of political ideology stretching from ‘far-left’ to ‘far-right’. Thus while communism is on the ‘far-left’, it is one stage along the road one must go in order not to be contaminated by fascism. However: Communism, like fascism, involved…

President Trump speaks at the March For Life Rally: “Every human life, born and unborn, is made in the holy image of Almighty God”
For the first time in its 47-year history, a U.S. President has spoken at the annual March For Life rally. President Donald Trump delivered a 15-minute message at the Washington D.C. event on Friday, saying unborn children have “never had a stronger defender in the White House.” “All of us here understand an eternal truth: Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God,” the President said. “Together, we must protect, cherish, and defend the dignity and the sanctity of every human life. “When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of…

Miracle Stories From The Australian Bushfires
The fires that have torn through the Australian landscape in recent weeks are without doubt the most widespread natural disaster in our nation’s living memory. Fellow Australians are hurting as they grieve the loss of properties, livelihoods and loved ones. Yet in the flames and through the smoke, there is hope, and evidence of God at work. The generosity of friends and strangers, the Australian spirit of mateship, and the reminder of what’s truly precious in life all speak to the presence of God in the midst of tragedy. Most profound of all, perhaps, are the mysterious stories that are…
Gay drag queen slams Drag Queen Story Hour, calls parents “extremely irresponsible” for exposing children to adult entertainers
A “gay drag queen” from California has slammed the Drag Queen Story Hour phenomenon, saying parents who allow their children to participate in such events are “extremely irresponsible.” The San Bernardino-based performer known as Kitty Demure posted a short video to social media on Sunday, warning parents that their attempts to appear “woke” and “non-homophobic” are hurting the gay community, which “already has a reputation for being pedophiles.” “What in the hell has a drag queen ever done to make you have so much respect for them, and admire them so much?” Demure said. “Other than put on make-up and…
Police turned a blind eye to Islamic grooming gangs for fear of ‘inciting racial hatred’
Police in Britain reportedly turned a blind eye to almost 100 Muslim pedophiles of Pakistani heritage for fear of inciting racial hatred, a report commissioned by Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has revealed. At least 57 children described as “young white females” were identified as being involved in some way with sexual exploitation carried out by grooming gangs, which hooked their victims on drugs, groomed and sexually abused them. The report, which followed the airing of a BBC documentary, The Betrayed Girls, documented repeated failures by the authorities to end the child sexual exploitation in Greater Manchester which appeared to…
Pro-aborts hold “emergency” art exhibition titled “Abortion Is Normal”
A New York art gallery featured a pro-abortion exhibition this week, displaying artworks from a range of feminist-activists hoping to “dismantle the stigma” attracted to the brutal practice of baby killing. The Abortion is Normal exhibition was described as “an emergency art show”, designed to provoke a “resurgence of energy and enthusiasm” about the topic of abortion. Jasmine Wahi, Co-curator of the event told Bloomberg, the show is important because it continues the fight to ensure women are permitted to freely end the lives of their unborn children. “The reason this show is important, aside from, I guess, the obvious,…

The young conservative student who led a protest against a Brisbane Drag Queen Story Hour for kids has died in a suspected suicide, The Daily Mail reports.

What are they doing to support the community? pic.twitter.com/dB7zXeVL7i — CORY (@corydunco)…
WATCH: CNN says, the people chanting “Death to America” “couldn’t have been more friendly”
CNN anchorwoman Erin Burnett has suggested the Iranians chanting “Death to America” are only using the phrase figuratively, and “couldn’t have been more friendly” to her during her time at an anti-American rally in Iran’s capital. In a recent segment on CNN, Ms Burnett explains: “Well, I will say, I was in Tehran when they were chanting “Death to America” once. I was at a rally. The people couldn’t have been more friendly to me personally as an American. Ms Burnett continued, “It sort of felt like a thing and a trope, as opposed to anything that was actually seriously…

The assault was carried out on Wednesday evening by about 20 armed Muslim Fulani herdsmen. “They were shooting with guns in all directions, forcing the villagers to scamper into surrounding bushes,” an eyewitness told Morning Star News in a text message. “Corpses of those killed have been evacuated by soldiers and police to mortuary of Mangu Cottage Hospital; and all victims are members of [Church of Christ in Nations] COCIN,” he added. Just hours after…

Police fear “resource drain” as climate protesters refuse to reschedule planned protest
Victorian Police have pleaded with organisers and civilians to reconsider attending a planned climate protest on Friday, January 10 as emergency services will be stretched on the day predicted to see dangerous fire conditions flare. The event, organised by Uni Students for Climate Justice, has been planned with the intent of calling on more funding for fire and emergency services, to call on an immediate transition away from fossil fuels, and to demand the sacking of Prime Minister Scott Morrison. In a post on Facebook, the organisers said: “We demand the government: Pay all firefighters and give them force full…
Peace after the firestorm: Epiphany 2020, bush fires, fire-activated seeds and our nation’s hope
At the end of Isaiah, the prophet talks about the relationship between new life and the heat of judgement. Given the devastation we’re seeing from the immense fires since September in Australia, these verses have special relevance. This doesn’t justify arson, or the political opportunism seeking to advance, distract, manipulate and use the suffering of others to feed self-interest. The relationship between new life and the heat of judgement speaks to all of us. It’s here, and not with pyromania, or political opportunism that the Word found in the prophetic meets with the pyrophytic. Horticulturalists tell us that some Australian…

SIX months jail for ‘hate crimes’ against people who identify as LGBTQ
Judges in the UK have been instructed to issue harsher punishments for those found guilty of transgender or homophobic “hate crimes.” The new sentencing guidelines, issued by the Sentencing Council for England and Wales on Wednesday, says offenders found guilty of stirring up hatred should be sentenced to at least six months in prison, the Daily Mail reported this week. In a press release issued by the statutory body, Mr Justice Julian Goose, of the Council, said the guidelines were designed to ensure the courts have the structure needed to take a “consistent approach when sentencing public order offences.” “Public…
Australia needs a national Sanctity of Life Sunday
Sometimes you’ll hear a federal politician claim abortion is just a state issue. Yet in the lead up to this year’s federal election, the federal Labor Party announced a national abortion policy that sought to make abortion easier and completely tax-payer subsidised. They threatened state health funding if abortion wasn’t available in all public hospitals, promised to build an abortion facility in Tasmania, and “encouraged” NSW to liberalise abortion laws. Although Coalition politicians refused to be drawn on the controversial issue, the Australian Christian Lobby and Cherish Life campaigned against Labor’s policy. Labor lost the election, and Labor MP Ed Husic…
