THE FEDERALIST — Justice Neil Gorsuch offered a straight-fire defense of free speech and religious liberty in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 303 Creative v. Elenis decision on Friday, which represented a major win for Americans’ First Amendment rights. As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd reported, the high court ruled that the government cannot force Colorado graphic artist Lorie Smith to “make wedding websites celebrating same-sex couples because it would violate her constitutional right to exercise her Christian belief that marriage is between a man and a woman.” The high court further noted that such state-enforced coercion is a violation of Smith’s First Amendment rights....

ROBERT SPENCER — Why is the Biden regime so obsessively preoccupied with promoting sexual deviance and transgender delusion and fantasy? Not only is it aggressively promoting “Pride” inside the United States, but it is also sending your tax dollars abroad to make sure that young Ecuadorians see their fair share of drag queens, and that Polish boys can decide they’re really girls after all. Imagine what George Washington, John Adams, or Thomas Jefferson would make of this: is this really what the republic they constructed and bequeathed to us should be spending its money on?... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Soon another 4th of July will be upon us. On July 4, 1776, 56 men voted to adopt the final wording of the Declaration of Independence. This was a milestone in history. Today, there is a war on America as founded. Ironically, those who engage in that fight are attacking the very source of their freedom to so engage. If they are successful, they could well find themselves one day the victims of their own actions—akin to proponents of cancel culture getting canceled themselves.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — A new Netflix series, “Catching Killers,” looks at murderers caught by law enforcement using police work, fingerprinting, and DNA testing. A program like this, of course, should also focus on the villains in the mass murder of more than one million Americans and nearly 7 million people worldwide who have died from COVID-19. It would be an easy case to solve, but bringing about real justice as a result is a more difficult proposition.... (more)

NEWSMAX — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday blocked Joe Biden's scheme to stick taxpayers with the tab for some $400 billion in student loans. Biden has wanted to "cancel" student loan debt amounts of $10,000 or $20,000, depending on circumstances, and have taxpayers pay up. But the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, said no. Fox Business said the justices found the law does not allow the secretary of education to follow through on Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — Barack Obama’s presidency was historic. Pundits said it, celebrities tweeted it, and the community organizer from Chicago was not shy about constantly bringing it up. And it was true. Over a decade after his inauguration, we are still living in his shadow. His history of economic decline, racial division, and terrorist appeasement is our present. The third term of his presidency under Biden makes him inescapable even long after leaving office. The Biden administration is extending his fundamental transformation of America.... (more)

And I will sign a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states. Prohibited," he said.... (more)

MARGOT CLEVELAND — Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss told the House Judiciary Committee he had “been granted ultimate authority” over prosecutorial decisions related to the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden in a June 7, 2023, letter obtained by The Federalist. However, Weiss’s letter to Congress — and Attorney General Merrick Garland’s earlier testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee that Weiss had “full authority” to charge Hunter Biden — directly conflicts with statements Weiss made to senior members of the team investigating the Biden son....

THE FEDERALIST — The United States is undergoing an attempted regime change, and the pride flag is its emblem. This regime change has been more than a century in the making. Initially, it flew under the Stars and Bars while hollowing out its meaning. Now it has its own emblem, the pride flag. This year we witnessed the American government’s elevation of that pride flag to a place of competition and sometimes dominance over the American flag. Notoriously, the White House participated earlier this month.... (more)

Not only is former President Donald Trump winning the GOP presidential primary by a mile in every credible poll, but he's also beating President Joe Biden by a large margin in the general election, too – in both the latest Rasmussen and Harris-Harvard polls. But there's something else brewing among the American electorate, something utterly remarkable. Despite all the negative press … and hatred … and vitriol … and indictments, Trump also holds the title of "the most popular politician in America." Amazing.... (more)

In fact, if a pastor were to preach on today’s moral issues, he might be accused of “preaching politics.”... (more)
