Some sports stars make headlines for drug abuse or acts of violence, but one football player is taking heat for publicly promoting Christian values. On Saturday, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered the commencement at the Catholic Benedictine College, encouraging young graduates to stand firm in their faith and live out authentic Christian virtues. Now, the National Football League (NFL) is playing defense and condemning Butker's speech as offensive.

California's Jurupa Unified School District (USD) Board on Monday approved a $360,000 settlement agreement for Jessica Tapia, a Christian teacher who was fired for refusing to use preferred pronouns or lie to parents about their child's gender identity. "This is wonderful news," Meg Kilgannon, senior fellow for Education Studies at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. "Schools behaving this way should find it is very expensive for them."

The publication of the U.K.'s groundbreaking Cass Review last month, addressing the flaws in the gender transition industry, resulted in a seismic shift across the pond: both England and Scotland halted the prescription of puberty blockers and hormone drugs to children, top clinical psychologists publicly apologized for their role in endorsing "gender-affirming care," and the British National Health Service (NHS) formally defined sex as a "biological" reality, regardless of an individual's "gender identity." Now, the report's author is warning the U.S. that medical organizations are "misleading" the public when it comes to gender transition procedures for children.

Seeking to stave off the increasingly perilous threat posed by Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Joe Biden's campaign positioned the president as a moderate who "doesn't support full-term abortions" - a claim pro-life advocates call deceptive. The assertion also clashes with Biden-aligned super PACs portraying RFK Jr. as a supporter of "national abortion bans."

Joe Biden may want to abandon Israel, but that doesn't mean congressional Republicans will let him. While the White House talks out of both sides of its mouth on America's Middle East ally - saying support is "ironclad" one minute and refusing them weapons the next - Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is about to make uncomfortable Democrats pick a side.

Earlier this month, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), as well as various congressional Republicans, supported legislation sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) that would make it a requirement to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to vote in elections. "Due to the wide-open border that the Biden administration has refused to close," the speaker said during a press conference, "we now have so many noncitizens in the country that if only one out of 100 voted, they would cast hundreds of thousands of votes." He noted this was the reason why the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) was introduced.

This year's Pride Month is shaping up to be a much more humble affair at Target. In an extremely gratifying twist, the company that bragged their transgender line is "great for our brand" has changed its mind after a year-long stock market bruising. It's the latest evidence that the wildfire of consumer activism is not only spreading but forcing the kind of change most people never thought possible.

The British government is preparing to reject a global health treaty that critics warn gives power to "a new world order." According to The Telegraph, the U.K. is opposed to signing the World Health Organization (WHO) global pandemic treaty, insisting the accord would undermine the U.K.'s sovereignty.

In previous years, people might have missed the irony. But not now - not after the meteoric rise of women's basketball. When the WNBA champs visited the White House last week, reporters didn't cover it out of obligation. They covered it because it was a real story. And Joe Biden's betrayal of girls' sports only made it more of one.

As stunned outrage escalated in reaction to President Joe Biden's decision to halt arms shipments to Israel in the midst of its battle against the Hamas terrorist group, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Thursday that the Jewish state would "stand alone" and "fight with our fingernails" in the face of a lack of military aid.

As staunch bipartisan criticism continues to engulf the Biden administration for withholding munitions aid to Israel, a leading Republican senator pointed out on Saturday that the White House unilaterally took the action even as the Jewish state is fighting a war against terrorism on three fronts.
