Last updated on: February 22, 2020 at 5:30 pm By Bethany Blankley

Ilhan Omar, Islamic law and the U.S. Constitution

Last updated on: January 16, 2020 at 9:35 am By Bethany Blankley

Central to the controversy surrounding the anti-Semitic and disparaging remarks about Jews and Israel made by the newly elected (some argue, fraudulently) Somali-born Congresswoman from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, is the distinction between two laws: Islamic law and the U.S. Constitution. It is unlikely that Omar would present a history of making such claims if she were not an adherent of Islamic ideology rooted in the Qur’an. The Qur’an is the basis for Islamic law, just as the U.S. Constitution is... Read more

A new investigation by the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News reveals “a disturbing number of Southern Baptists with formal church roles have engaged in sexual misconduct.” They were pastors.

Is this a joke? Texas Democrats introduce ‘transgender’ requirement bills

Last updated on: February 22, 2020 at 5:55 pm By Bethany Blankley

Sadly, this is not a joke. And legislation, that hopefully won’t see the light of day, would penalize everyone in the Lone Star State who disagrees with the false narrative advocated by the LGBTQI groups. Six pro-LGBTQ bills proposed by the alleged Gay Mafia in the Texas Legislature target business owners, the rest target the medical/health care industry. “Four of the Texas bills – numbered HB 224, HB 254, HB 850 and SB 151 – would force Christian business owners...
