Photos: President Trump and First Lady Melania Pay Respects to Evangelical Icon Billy Graham

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump participated in a ceremony honoring Reverend Billy Graham in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday.

Ken Silva of Apprising Ministries said of Billy Graham, “he was always someone I had looked to as an example and someone I greatly admired in Christ. That is until troubling quotes and questionable associations he’d been making through the years kept coming up in research.” In a piece he wrote entitled John MacArthur on Roman Catholicis, Billy Graham, and ‘Evangelical’ Inclusivism, Silva posted a video clip of John MacArthur talking about how evangelicals, including Billy Graham, are accepting apostate Roman Catholicism as genuine Christianity. Silva also included a video of an appearance by Rev. Graham on Hour of Power with the late Robert Schuller that shows him saying some rather disturbing things about the future of Christianity.

So with this backdrop in place, here are Breitbart’s photos:  View article →

(Christian News Network) The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that so-called “sexual orientation” does apply to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, remarking that while the courts have not made the correlation in the past, “legal doctrine evolves.”

“We now conclude that sexual orientation discrimination is motivated, at least in part, by sex and is thus a subset of sex discrimination,” Chief Judge Robert Katzmann wrote on behalf of the 10-3 majority. “To the extent that our prior precedents held otherwise, they are overruled.” View article →

Israel Has Only Had 2 School Attacks in 44 Years, Here’s How They Make Sure Their Kids Are Safe

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

(The Western Journal) In the wake of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting that claimed 17 lives last week, there has been a renewed debate surrounding gun control and children’s safety, leading some to make a comparison to the changes Israel made in response to a terror attack more than four decades ago.

In 1974, Palestinian terrorists took over the Netiv Meir Elementary School in what has been called the “Ma’alot Massacre,” which left 22 children dead and many others injured.

The attack forced Israel to come up with a solution in order to prevent such a situation from ever happening again. The nation requires its schools to have a security system, and that policy is still going strong after 40 years. View article →

Heroic Parkland Shooting Survivor Calls Out CNN for ‘Scripted’ Questions

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ ,

(NewsBusters) The Wednesday CNN town hall promoting gun bans and moderated by Jake Tapper was arguably a train wreck from the beginning. Between a student saying Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) reminded him of the shooter and shouts of ‘murderer’ at NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch, it was out of control. But in the wee hours of Thursday morning, things got worse for the anti-gun network when the local Florida ABC affiliate WPLG-TV reported that CNN had been planting questions.

The whistleblower was Colton Haab, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who heroically shielded his fellow students from the bullets with sheets of Kevlar and was a member of the Junior ROTC program. “I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions,” Haab told reporter Janine Stanwood.

CNN, HLN Enjoy Teen Activists Smearing ‘Blood Money’ NRA as ‘Child Murderers’

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

(Tim Graham – NewsBusters) The liberal media’s current infatuation with teenage activists ripping into the National Rifle Association extends to letting them smear gun-rights activists with no correction. This presents a serious issue for tonight’s CNN “Students Demand Action” town hall meeting. Are the teenagers going to be able to say anything without a check on their facts or their civility?

There is nothing wrong with teenaged activists speaking out. But if we’re teaching these students how to engage in politics, then we should teach them they will be held accountable for their words, and they should expect to be criticized from an opposing point of view. … View article →
