Biden Signs Executive Order to Root Out Systemic Racism from Federal Government

With the swipe of the pen, woke president Biden imposes one of the key tenets of critical race theory on the entire Federal bureaucracy. This is DEI gone wild.

The order also requires federal agencies to establish “equity teams,” with a designated senior leader charged with implementing the administration’s equity goals and “delivering equitable outcomes, to the extent consistent with applicable law.” And it requires the establishment of a new White House steering committee on equity to “coordinate Government-wide efforts to advance equity.”

Would a ‘Climate Emergency’ Open the Same Door to Authoritarian Governance as the ‘COVID Emergency?’

This is another opportunity for totalitarians to trample our civil liberties. Read this warning.

In February 2022, 1,140 organizations sent President Joe Biden a letter urging him to declare a “climate emergency.” A group of U.S. Senators did the same, in October 2022, and a House bill, introduced in 2021, also called on the president to “declare a national climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act.”

Biden has considered declaring such an emergency, but so far he has declined, to the disappointment of many progressives.

The United Nations (U.N.) has urged all countries to declare a climate emergency. The state of Hawaii and 170 local U.S. jurisdictions have declared some version of one. So have 38 countries, including European Union members and the U.K., and local jurisdictions around the world, together encompassing about 13 percent of the world’s population.

Hillary Clinton was reportedly prepared to declare a “climate emergency” if she had won the 2016 election.

Leftist “Equity” Versus Biblical Equality

Equity, as championed by the Biden administration, is not the same as equality. Read this post to get a clear understanding of the difference.

Of that acronymic trio, equity is likely the most significant — and pernicious. The word has a perfectly benign history, but it has in recent years been vested with a new meaning and enlisted in the wokeness campaign. Before we can address modern equity, however, we need to discuss the related word and idea of equality, or more specifically, two distinct conceptions of equality.

Transforming WHO Into a Public-Health Technocracy

The Biden administration is preparing an agreement giving broad powers to the World Health Organization (WHO) over public health decisions in the United States. Another step toward surrendering our national sovereignty to the global elite.

In the name of preventing and fighting pandemics, the Biden administration and international entities are negotiating an agreement that would establish a public-health technocracy. The proposed treaty, known as the “WHO Convention, Agreement or Other International Instrument on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response” — or WHO CA+, for short — would transform WHO from a purely advisory organization into one with regulatory power to enact international public policies.

The Pro-Abortion ‘Life of the Mother’ Argument Is a Lie

This article by an OB/GYN physician demolishes the pro-choice argument of the need for elective abortion is to protect the life of the mother.

As many states are fighting to codify abortion law, one of the greatest lies spread by the pro-abortion left in America today is that we need to intentionally end the life of an unborn baby in order to save the mother’s life in many of these cases.

Women face many possible illnesses during pregnancy, including premature rupture of membranes, severely high blood pressure, diabetes, hemorrhaging, cancers, and heart disease. As an obstetrician-gynecologist who used to provide abortions early in my training, I know that intentional feticide is never necessary even in the worst-case scenarios.

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ¹³

Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. (Ephesians 6:10–20 ESV)
