BRYAN FISCHER — The Constitution prohibits the establishment of religion, that is, picking one Christian denomination and making it the official church of the United States. An "established" religion enjoys special favors and special legal protections that no other faith enjoys. People of non-established faiths are subject to punishment from authorities.

CLIFF KINCAID — Billionaire Bill Gates is pouring some of his wealth into development of an HIV/AIDS vaccine that will be mandatory for all young people, even children, in the U.S. Perhaps a scheduled "breakthrough" in this controversial effort and a plan for universal HIV vaccinations explain why major media organs and corporate and government officials are being used to demonize those concerned about the safety of vaccines. The U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO) has gone so far as to issue a report ranking "vaccine hesitancy" as one of the top "Ten Threats to Global Health in 2019."... (more)

NATIONAL REVIEW — A thing that occurs to you if you attend an elite college or university, as I did, is that most of the professors teaching you are more or less the same beleaguered time-servers who would be teaching you at any other school.

ALAN KEYES — "The Democrat Party has apparently abandoned the modicum of respect for innocent, helpless, human life that led many Democrats in Congress to support the BAIPA [Born Alive Infant Protection Act] in 2002. Anti-life Democrat ideologues, prevalent among them now, have surrendered that shred of decency. Despite their loud denunciations of that surrender, GOP members of Congress and Trump administration officials will be suspect if they do not ask President Trump to end the long, bipartisan failure to see that the BAIPA is faithfully executed."
