Why Is the Left Conflating Religious Liberty and ‘Christian Nationalism’?

With the recent inauguration of President Donald Trump, many within the religious liberty movement are now breathing a sigh of relief that robust religious liberty protections for all believers seems to be a priority of the new administration.

In recent decades, many of the fights for one of the most fundamental American freedoms have involved litigation to ensure robust religious exercise protections under the First Amendment or legislative fights to enact religious liberty protections via statute (such as Religious Freedom Restoration Acts). While it is true that many of the religious liberty advocates are Christians (which makes sense—about two-thirds of Americans identify as Christians), the fight for religious liberty is clearly a fight for religious exercise of all religions against the coercive power of the state. From George Washington’s 1790 Letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport to the Mahmoud v. Taylor case currently pending before the Supreme Court, the religious liberty movement in America has consistently involved and defended the rights of diverse religions. 

In recent years, critics of the Trump administration in particular and the religious liberty movement in general have curiously claimed that the whole religious liberty movement has been misused as a vehicle to install “Christian Nationalism” in America. The claim is strange because, as we will explain, all the major religious liberty initiatives in America—including our work at the Napa Legal Institute—are even-handedly advocating for religious exercise rights that apply equally to all non-Christian religions as well as to Christians.

Napa Legal’s Faith and Freedom Index strives to be an objective, even-handed analysis of religious liberty at the state level, analyzing whether state laws allow faith-based nonprofit organizations of every creed to be given the freedom to operate without unnecessary government interference.

NASA’s Stranded Astronauts Confirm Biden Abandoned Them in Space — He Declined Elon Musk’s Rescue Offer For ‘Political Reasons’

NASA’s stranded astronauts have acknowledged that Joe Biden deliberately abandoned them in space for political purposes.

Barry Wilmore and his crewmate Sunita Williams have been stuck on the International Space Station since July last year after their Boeing Starliner ran into technical issues.

At a virtual press conference on Tuesday, Wilmore was asked about Elon Musk’s claim that Joe Biden declined his offer to bring them back on a SpaceX flight several months ago for “political reasons.”

“I can only say that Mr Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual,” Wilmore said.

Wilmore went on to say he and his partner at the “utmost respect” for Musk and Trump.

I can tell you, at the outset, all of us have the utmost respect for Mr. Musk, and obviously respect and admiration for our President of the United States, Donald Trump.

We appreciate them, we appreciate all they do for us, for human spaceflight, for our nation. We’re thankful that they’re in the positions they’re in.

The words they’ve said — politics — I mean, that’s part of life. We understand that, and there’s an important reason why we have a political system, and the political system that we do have.

And we’re behind it 100 percent. We know what we’ve lived up here. We know the ins and outs and the specifics that they may not be privy to.

And I’m sure they have some issues that they’re dealing with, information that they have that we are not privy to.

So when I think about your question, that’s part of life. We are on board with it, we support our nation, we support our nation’s leaders and we’re thankful for them.

During an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience last week, Musk explained how Biden had declined his offer and intentionally “pushed the return date past the inauguration date.”

Meloni destroys the warlike dreams of the European left! Italy says ‘No’ to sending troops to Ukraine and leaves France and the UK on the ropes.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s firm and resolute prime minister, has shaken the European negotiating tables with her categorical refusal to send Italian troops to Ukraine, exposing the interventionist obsessions of the European left, embodied by France and the United Kingdom.

Meloni made it clear in London, during a summit on Ukraine, that Italy prioritizes diplomacy over unbridled militarism.

Meloni’s decision is not a whim, but a strategic stance reflecting Italy’s caution toward a conflict that could escalate and further destabilize Europe.

DOGE Is Not Elected—Neither Are the IRS, DOJ, or FBI, Yet They Hold Authority

Senator Elizabeth Warren was asked what she’d like to say to Elon Musk and DOGE; her response, which is now going viral on Twitter, was, “Get the hell out of our government. Nobody elected you.”

However, this response is incredibly shortsighted and disingenuous. The overwhelming majority of government positions are not elected. In fact, only the President and Vice President are elected by the entire country. Senators and Representatives are elected by voters in their respective states and districts.

However, beyond these positions, no other officials in the federal government—including those in the IRS, DOJ, and FBI —are elected; they are appointed or hired.

Roughly 4 million federal government employees are not elected. There is no way Senator Elizabeth Warren doesn’t know that, making her position disingenuous. The millions of Democrats and liberals retweeting this and making similarly uninformed statements may genuinely be unaware. However, the congressional representatives pushing this narrative know it is false.

The same crowd is now shouting that Elon Musk “got ahold of classified documents” or “wants to get ahold of classified documents,” but this is nonsense. Musk already holds extremely high-level security clearances due to his work with NASA, SpaceX, and other defense-related projects. His companies have major government contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD), NASA, and the U.S. Space Force, all of which require access to classified information.

Some with a sophomoric understanding of security clearances argue that he only has “need-to-know” access, which is partially true, but there’s no evidence that he has accessed—or is even attempting to access—documents beyond his authorized clearance. His job requires access to a broad range of government data, and there’s no indication that he lacks the necessary clearance for it.

The claim that Musk shouldn’t be allowed to access sensitive data is pure political posturing rather than a genuine security concern. He already has the clearances, and there’s no concrete accusation that he’s accessing anything he shouldn’t.

The other baseless claim these people are making is that Elon Musk should be arrested, deported, or stripped of his citizenship, but this makes no sense for several reasons.

PUPPET STRINGS: 23 Democrats post identical scripted videos — who’s writing the scripts?

It started with just two.

Earlier today, some eagle eyed viewers noticed that Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren posted IDENTICAL propaganda videos — word for word — attacking President Trump.

(Article by Noah republished from 100PercentFedUp.com)

The b-roll video was the same, the scripts were identical, and they both read them like the good little puppets they are.

Take a look:

Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren posted identical videos — word for word — right before Trump’s speech. pic.twitter.com/NXTFZtJ81d

Elon Musk jumped in to ask who is writing the words for the puppets to speak?

Who is writing the words that the puppets speak? That’s the real question. https://t.co/N8kaTj8vPU

Rep. Thomas Massie, Sen. Mike Lee Introduce Bills to Audit and Abolish Federal Reserve

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) have teamed up to reintroduce the “End the Fed” bill in the House and Senate to liquidate the Federal Reserve’s assets and transfer all money to the Treasury. 

Additionally, Massie also introduced a bill to audit the Federal Reserve in the House.

Massie previously introduced the bills in 2024.

“The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act was first introduced by former Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) in 1999 and hasn’t been reintroduced since 2013. In addition to introducing this legislation to “End the Fed,” Rep. Massie has also introduced H.R. 24, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 to audit the Federal Reserve. H.R. 24 was originally introduced by former Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) in 2009,” according to a press release from Massie’s office.

The Act will abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and liquidate all assets to return to the taxpayer. It also repeals the Federal Reserve Act, the 1913 law that created the Federal Reserve, effective one year after the bill is signed into law.

POLIO was 98% eradicated BEFORE THE VACCINE was ever invented and put into circulation, beginning the BIGGEST MEDICAL FARCE in history

Polio propaganda is the most feared fake news in the world. Key historical information is missing from the allopathic “dictionaries” and the mouths of physicians across America. Facts and figures must be discussed and considered, from long-overlooked medical journals and books, including myth-shattering graphs revealing the mass decline of infectious disease before vaccines, and before antibiotics and pharmaceuticals came into the picture at all.

The medical profession is trained to ignore the truth. Live virus vaccines against paralytic poliomyelitis carry with them the inherent difficulty of controlling live viruses once they are placed in a live person. Today, Western Medicine has frightened parents into believing their children will likely die young if not inoculated with a schedule of over thirty injections by age six, starting from the day the child is born. Measles, smallpox and polio are not the plague. Any well-nourished child who gets adequate vitamin A and D will normally recover just fine.

The Decline of Infectious Diseases Came BEFORE the Vaccination Propaganda

Beginning in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in deaths from ALL infectious diseases, receding to minor levels by the early 1900s. Why?

History shows us that societies underwent a transformation to healthier living habits, and vitamins were discovered that increase immunity, like vitamin D. Yet, behind closed doors, the American Medical Association would prove to be the starting ground for a massive fear and propaganda campaign waged by the pharmaceutical manufacturers and aided by scientists who faked test results on vaccines for money.

Unfortunately, infant immunity has been misunderstood by immunologists. Interrupting normal immunity with injections of aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and combinations of live viruses that can work in tandem can be completely unpredictable. Pro-vaccine doctors often cite “peer reviewed literature” to prove points, but a closer look proves the opposite, which reveals a sick population of vaccinated children those same pro-vax physicians supposedly care for.

Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in the deaths from all these infectious diseases, decreasing by the mid-1900s to very low levels. By the 1920s and 30s doctors were very relaxed over the same diseases our mass media present today like it’s the plague. Most infectious diseases were simply holidays from school for kids who had normal immune systems that weren’t beat down by carcinogenic “medicines” and suffering inflammation from neurologically impairing heavy metal toxins.

The true story of polio involves vaccine-induced paralytic polio caused by the Salk vaccines. In fact, Dr. Albert Sabin’s version of the oral polio vaccine (OPV) continues to cause paralysis in vaccine recipients now, in 2015. History may prove that the dreaded virus that crippled our ancestors was injected into people as part of a sick medical experiment. That’s the truth of the matter the mass media will never publish.

Rep. Pete Sessions to Introduce Make Elections Secure Act – Would Eliminate Voting Machines and Ensure Hand-Marked Paper Ballots – Severely Restrict Mail-in Voting

The Gateway Pundit has obtained a draft copy of the Make Elections Secure Act (MESA), authored by Representative Pete Sessions (TX-17), which would repeal the outdated Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002.

Among other things, it would also almost entirely eliminate electronic voting machines and ensure each voter casts their ballot on a hand-marked paper ballot with a manual hand-count.  Exceptions for machine use would be permitted for voters requiring accessibility accommodations due to disabilities.

The bill, which would also apply to primary elections, also “restrict[s] mailed ballots to specific eligible voters with stringent verification process.”  As of now, those are outlined as active-duty military stationed outside their voting jurisdiction and those with a physician-certified medical condition that would prevent in-person voting.

MESA would also provide accountability to the public by ensuring “maximum transparency by providing public access to all election processes and comprehensive Election Data, including unscrambled ballot images and cast vote records, with at least five days for officials to upload data.”

During the 2020 election and those ensuing, election officials often denied access to certain public records or quoted exorbitant prices for public records requests.  Garland Favorito and VoterGa have been engaged in a years-long battle to simply examine the physical paper ballots in the state of Georgia for the 2020 Election, despite a Supreme Court ruling that VoterGa did, in fact, have standing to bring their case.  That decision was made in December of 2022, sending the case back to the lower courts where it’s been waiting for an assignment ever since.

Trump’s Agriculture Secretary Encourages Americans to Raise Their Own Chickens at Home

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins recommended that Americans raise their own chickens to help deal with the soaring prices of eggs.

The newly confirmed official in the Cabinet of President Donald Trump made the recommendation on “Fox & Friends Weekend” Saturday to anchor Rachel Campos-Duffy.

“I think the silver lining in all this is how do we, in our backyards — we’ve got chickens, too, in our backyard — how do we solve for something like this?” Rollins said, according to a report from Mediaite.

“And people are sort of looking around thinking, ‘Wow, well, Maybe I can get a chicken in my backyard,’ and it’s awesome.”

Russian ‘Independent’ Media Surprised Their Funding Came From USAID, Express Anger

Russian independent media has had a rough decade in Moscow, with many forced to leave for Baltic nations or other jurisdictions to be able to report freely.

The Kremlin long has put out a narrative that most of this ‘independent media’ was on the payroll of the American intelligence services.

Now that the Kremlin narrative has turned out to be true, there is shock, surprise, and even anger being expressed by Russian independent media personalities.

Yulia Latynina was one of the main stars of liberal journalism, a permanent host of Ekho Moskvy and one of the most caustic critics of the Russian government. Much has changed in the last three years, writes a journalist interviewing her recently on this subject.

What prompted Yulia, who is still listed as a foreign agent in Russia, to reconsider her attitude to the war, Ukrainian activists and liberal journalists? What does she now think about the empire and the new world order that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are writing? What conclusions did she draw from the USAID story and what is her response to dissatisfied subscribers?

“My ideas about what was happening began to change when I read a very laudatory book by Franklin Foer about Biden. And then I read a recently published book by Bob Woodward. “
