A bill (H.R. 6090) to make the Department of Education adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism "is unnecessarily raising concerns" about its effect on the gospel message, said Quena Gonzalez, senior director of government affairs at Family Research Council. The IHRA definition includes "contemporary examples," he told The Washington Stand, among which is "using ... claims of Jews killing Jesus ... to characterize Israel or Israelis."

<p>Host Joseph Backholm is joined by senior advisor for Concerned Women for America Doreen Denny and Family Research Council's Meg Kilgannon for a conversation about the future protections of women and their sport. Diving into the history of Title IX, Doreen and Meg discuss its original purpose and the harmful revisions the Biden administration recently made. How does one justify allowing men to play in women's sports? Women all across the nation have not only had titles stolen, but have faced repercussions and suspensions for forfeiting competing against a biological man. When will America realize that in this situation, the harm only goes one way: to women.</p>

Britain's top health authority is officially rejecting transgender ideology and declaring that biological sex is a reality, while "gender identity" isn't. The U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS) is revising its constitution to state, "We are defining sex as biological sex." The proposed constitutional revisions stress a need for "respecting the biological differences between men and women," further warning, "If these biological differences are not considered or respected, there is the potential for unintended adverse health consequences."

Tens of thousands of events took place nationwide to mark the 73rd annual National Day of Prayer (NDP), as Christians of every background folded their hands, closed their eyes, and raised their voices to Heaven in unison. Celebrations were capped off by a 90-minute-long official rally led by National Day of Prayer Task Force President Kathy Branzell and Pastor A.R. Bernard in Washington, D.C. The speakers focused their prayers and intercessions on this year's theme, "Lift Up the Word - Light Up the World," taken from II Samuel 22:29, which reads: "You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness."

A Florida bill, the Heartbeat Protection Act (HPA), went into effect on Wednesday, which increases protections for the unborn after six-weeks, as opposed to the state's previous 15-week rule. The HPA initially became law in April 2023 as part of the Florida Supreme Court's decision that abortion is not a given right under the Constitution. That decision was key in upholding the 15-week law, and only a month later, proved relevant to the six-week law.

Pro-Hamas protestors have gone above and beyond to show their support for terrorists as well as their hatred for America and the Jewish people. Especially on college campuses.

A bill to protect Kansas children from gender transition procedures failed by two votes on Monday, when two Republicans in the Kansas House, who had previously voted for the bill, flipped their position and voted with Democrats. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly (D) vetoed the bill last month, and the bill needed a two-thirds majority of both houses to override the veto.

It looks like Donald Trump won't be the only president spending a lot of time in court this summer. Thanks to Joe Biden's universally despised (and unconstitutionally executed) changes to Title IX, this White House now finds itself on the wrong side of an avalanche of lawsuits. The legal floodgates opened Monday, within hours of the Biden administration finalizing its radical rewrite of 52 years of women's rights. And conservatives warn: this is just the beginning.

Compromise didn't use to be a dirty word in Congress. There was a time, not too long ago, when Americans wanted the two parties to try to work together. Now, according to Republicans, it's grounds to lose your job. This is the bizarre conundrum Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) finds himself in thanks to the irrational wing of the GOP - who, despite holding a whisper-thin majority, expect their leader to somehow call the shots with only a third of Washington's power levers.

When people ask Mike Johnson (R-La.) what it's like to be speaker, he puts it this way, "I feel like a triage nurse on the battlefield. They wheel a bloody body in and yell, 'Stop the bleeding!' And I will, and then turn around and there's another bloody body." Now imagine a patient who doesn't appreciate the work the nurse is trying to do, and you have a pretty good picture of some House Republicans too.

Comedy is incompatible with leftism. For evidence of this maxim, one need look no further than the most recent iteration of the White House Correspondents' dinner.

College campuses escalated their efforts to root out pro-Hamas occupations on Tuesday, with police arresting more than 430 people on nine different college campuses. Police have made more than 1,600 arrests in connection with the disruptive, illegal campus occupations since the first one began at Columbia University on April 19, according to an investigation by The Washington Stand. Disturbingly, some universities are beginning to cave to protestors' demands to restore order to campus, even as campus protests become increasingly dominated by non-students.
