States Rally Behind Foster Care Plan That Expands Religious Family Participation

By: Hannah Bates | The Federalist The Trump administration is reversing Biden-era rules that tossed Christian families from foster care, reducing homes available to desperate children. Montana became the 25th state to join President Trump’s “A Home for Every Child” executive order initiative Monday. The $11.4 billion project under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) aims to address the national foster parent shortage, partly by creating opportunities for religious Americans the Biden administration blocked due to pro-queer policies. First Lady Melania Trump has made helping foster children one of her top philanthropic priorities. The ACF reports that “for every 100 children entering foster care, only 57 licensed foster hom...

Supreme Court Petition Targets Washington Law Allowing Gender Treatments Without Parental Consent

By Greg Piper | Just the News SCOTUS must heed three justices' warnings that lower courts are avoiding "contentious constitutional questions" on parental rights in state-facilitated gender transitions by denying legal standing, wide coalition says. When runaway minors ask for puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgical interventions to resemble the opposite sex, Washington state not only refers them for potentially irreversible treatment but also does not require parental notification and consent, hides their "location and condition" and unilaterally decides "reunification" conditions, a lawsuit alleges. According to the historically overturned 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, however, parents cannot challenge the Evergreen State's laws in court bec...

By Jerry Dunleavy, Gelet Fragela and Steven Richards | Just the News The group trains gay, queer, and transgender people to arm themselves and fight against capitalism and the American system. There is at this time no evidence linking the group to Tyler Robinson, Kirk's accused assassin. Amid the snow-capped mountains and Mormon churches of Utah, not far from where FBI agents continue to scour for more evidence in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a self-described armed revolutionary group openly aligned with Cuba has risen up on the streets of one of America’s most conservative states. Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism.

When gun rights depend on the judge: New study reveals disparities in DVPO cases

By Cory Gaines | Colorado Accountability Project Disparities in court orders for DVPO's Federal law prohibits the possession or purchase of firearms for certain people who have domestic violence protection orders (DVPO). Some states go further and require anyone who is subject to such an order to relinquish their firearms for the duration of the order. The study linked first below takes a look at the results of a Washington State law (which is one of the states which requires a respondent in a DVPO case to relinquish their firearms) and compares the outcomes of court cases to race. Quoting the abstract: "Historically, U.S. laws and institutions have privileged White men with firearm access over minoritized individuals, but little is known about whether racial disparities...
