During testimony before a House Oversight subcommittee hearing on the coronavirus pandemic last week, a former National Institutes of Health (NIH) director admitted that the federal agency funded "gain-of-function" research that involved transforming animal viruses into human viruses at the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The disclosure is the latest example in a series of revelations that have shown a pattern of deliberate deception undertaken by leading public health officials during the COVID pandemic.

A left-wing school district in the Old Line State is attempting to hide LGBT grooming from parents, and the nation's top court is refusing to intervene. On Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition for certiorari in a case brought by Maryland parents against the Montgomery County Board of Education (MCBE). During the 2020 to 2021 school year, the board adopted a new policy allowing schools to hide children's "gender identities" from parents. A group of parents filed a lawsuit and, in 2022, Obama-appointed Judge Paul Grimm of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland ruled against them.

With the November presidential election 24 weeks away, an index measuring consumer sentiment on the economy dropped to a six-month low after its largest decline since 2021. The plummeting confidence comes as President Joe Biden recently shrugged off the concerns while falsely claiming for the second time in less than a week that inflation was at 9% when he took office.

On Sunday, May 19, roughly 1,000 churches came together to pray for the people and state of Israel. Several congregations across the country heard passionate sermons on why the church needs to stand with Israel and intercede on its behalf. As Family Research Council President Tony Perkins emphasized at Baton Rouge's Jefferson Baptist Church, any time people are "standing for truth, there is a battle that rages around." In other words, "[W]e're engaged in a spiritual battle" now.

The case for treating children with gender transition procedures is falling apart in real time before our eyes. Earlier this month, yet another European country backpedaled from the perversely named "gender-affirming care" model when delegates at the German Medical Assembly overwhelmingly voted for restrictions, as mounting evidence shows the harms of these procedures and the lack of benefits.

While some in the U.S. health community continue to claim that gender transition procedures save lives, a new study is showing that the dangerous interventions actually increase the risk of suicide.
