(Washington Stand) The past weekend saw a series of protests crop up around the U.S. Most protestors — notably those participating in “No Kings” events — targeted President Donald Trump and his administration, but other conservatives and Christians also became the center of attention.

Over 500 “No Kings” demonstrations were scheduled Saturday in cities across the U.S., although reports suggest that fewer events — sparsely attended and peopled largely by the elderly — actually occurred.

(Washington Stand) How should Christians respond to a world increasingly hostile toward Christians and the values they proclaim?

This pressing question was explored during a panel discussion at Family Research Council’s 2025 Pray Vote Stand Summit over the weekend, where thousands of believers gathered for two days of worship, learning, and equipping to stand resolute in their faith. The panelists offered a multifaceted approach to engaging a hostile culture with compassion, conviction, and biblical grounding. Here are five key insights from their discussion.

(RedState) California, to put it bluntly, has issues. But plenty of people remain in the once-Golden state who are trying to restore some sanity to the state and its government. Some of them are colleagues and friends of mine, and I wish them every success.

One way that might happen is by taking advantage of California's initiative system. One such initiative, the CA Voter ID Initiative, has gathered more than 250,000 of the over 874,000 signatures needed to put the matter on the 2026 ballot - and they've only been gathering signatures for two weeks. An email from the group pushing the initiative, the CA Voter ID Initiative 2026, described the progress as "a record-breaking haul" and announced that the initiative's proponents "will file a formal certification with the CA Secretary of State's office announcing the official tally" Wednesday.

(Harbinger's Daily) Continuing its descent into total madness and depravity despite efforts by the Trump administration, Harvard has officially hired a drag queen named “LaWhore Vagistan” to teach “queer ethnography” and “RuPaulitics.” Critics expressed outrage over the tax-funded institution’s debauchery.

The far-left university publicly announced that Kareem Khubchandani, also an associate professor at Tufts University, would be joining its Women, Gender, and Sexuality department as a visiting professor. He is known for teaching his classes in his drag persona, according to news reports.

The new Harvard courses, brought about by the university’s “Gender and Sexuality Caucus,” have sparked a firestorm of controversy since being announced over the summer. The decision came after President Trump unfroze billions in tax funding. The courses will explore “drag history,” “pleasure,” critical theory applied to race and gender, and more.

(Faith & Freedom) Netflix shares dropped seven percent in extended trading on Wednesday after the company posted a third-quarter earnings miss after the bell on Tuesday.

Who cares what happens to Netflix? Obviously, the stockholders.

But we all should take note for a couple of reasons.

Be informed, not misled.

Netflix is claiming that a continuing $600 million dispute with Brazilian tax authorities is a reason for the weaker-than-estimated results.

However, the dip also comes amid ongoing backlash by viewers and users over transgender content promoted for children by the streaming giant.

(Life News) A new abortion center in Colorado has begun killing unborn babies in abortions up to birth and for any reason.

The abortion business operators declare that “any reason you have for needing abortion care is yours, and it is the right one.”

The RISE Collective, formed by former staff of the now-closed Boulder Abortion Clinic, which also killed babies in late-term abortions, opened its doors in Boulder and started scheduling appointments for late-term abortions two weeks ago.

The facility kills babies up to 34 weeks’ gestation — about 13 weeks after the point of fetal viability — making it one of only a handful of such centers nationwide where babies can be killed in the third trimester without any medical justification required.

(RedState) The problem few people seem to be concerned with is only growing larger.

AI Chatbots like Chat GPT and Claude are becoming an increased presence in the lives of many teens to the point where young Americans are becoming more and more emotionally attached to them.

According to a new study from the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), a large chunk of students is now relying on chatbots for emotional support, and the bond isn't a good one, as reported by the International Business Times:

A new report by the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) has revealed that nearly one in five US high school students (19 percent) say that they or a friend have used AI to have a romantic relationship.
