(The Federalist) Hours after a young man who appeared to identify as a woman and to hate Christians opened fire on Catholic primary school students at Mass on Wednesday, leftist Twitter had identified a culprit: prayer.

“Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings,” wrote Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary and an MSNBC host. “Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.”

“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying,” lectured Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

(Harbinger's Daily) Democrat lawmakers in California thought they could get away with it—AB 495, a reckless bill that would allow for child trafficking. They thought wrong. Sacramento may not have been listening before, but after a massive pro-God, pro-family, pro-parental rights rally on the steps of the capital, they are definitely listening now.

Thousands of common-sense conservatives swarmed the California capital Tuesday, along with tens of thousands more online. Jack Hibbs, Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and founder of the Real Life Network, encouraged all those opposed to child trafficking to keep praying and keep fighting to protect children.

“This is exactly what evil fears,” Hibbs said to the crowds. “You guys are all shining examples of what it means to make a difference.”

(The Federalist) A recent study of women in Quebec, Canada, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research revealed that those who chose induced abortion were more than twice as likely to be hospitalized for a mental health problem than women who gave birth.

Researchers found that, per 10,000 person-years, 104 women who had an abortion were hospitalized for mental health problems such as psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and suicide attempts, versus 42 women who did not have abortions. A person-year (think man-hour) represents the number of people studied over the course of a year. As a whole, the study followed more than 1.2 million pregnancies for up to 17 years after either an abortion or birth.

(Washington Stand) President Trump is calling for a recount — a recount of the American people. And he’s calling for something else: a rejection of the Left’s new math and a return to common sense. The president has ordered the Commerce Department to begin preparing a new mid-decade census that would count only those who are legally present in the United States.

Why does that matter?

The Constitution requires that Congress establish the manner by which a census is conducted every 10 years. The results of the census determine how the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned among the 50 states. Census data also drives the allocation of hundreds of billions in federal funds to state and local governments.

(Harbinger's Daily) The announcements that the French, British, and Canadian governments intend to recognize an independent Palestinian state at September’s U.N. General Assembly are a triumph of moral inversion. With Hamas and their backers in Tehran on the ropes, President Macron, Prime Minister Starmer, and Prime Minister Carney have decided to throw them a lifeline rather than back Israel’s efforts to bring this conflict to a just conclusion.

According to Macron, this move is being made to fulfill France’s “historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East,” tying this decision directly to their aim of stopping the war in Gaza and saving the civilian population. Starmer went even further, using the prospect of recognizing an independent Palestinian state as a threat to constrain Israel: “The UK will recognise the state of Palestine . . . unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire, and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution.”

(Life News) Did you hear about Costco?

The major retailer announced recently that they will not sell mifepristone, otherwise known as the abortion pill, at their pharmacies!

This is a huge victory for life in the wake of our protest efforts over the last few years against neighborhood pharmacies selling this deadly pill.

When Walgreens and CVS announced they were selling the abortion pill, you and your fellow pro-lifers wrote letters, made phone calls, protested outside stores, and made such an overall racket that Costco has decided they wanted nothing to do with the abortion pill.

(Washington Stand) As Congress is seeking the truth regarding the Epstein files, many people are intrigued because Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell had powerful friends, including world leaders and celebrities. However, Christians should care about the Epstein files for reasons that go much deeper.

1. Imago Dei: God Created All Human Beings in His Image

Epstein, Maxwell, and their friends dehumanized the girls that they trafficked. According to author Christina Oxenberg, when she asked Maxwell who the girls were that she brought to Epstein for a “massage” for $200, she answered, “They’re nothing; they’re trash.” As Oxenberg said, Maxwell didn’t even acknowledge them as human beings.
