The House's Push to Purge LGBT Propaganda from Children's Shows

By Isabelle Russell August 10, 2026 at 9:00am

House Democrats and Republicans are fighting over whether children will be exposed to inappropriate LGBT content on television.

On July 13, 47 Republican House members sent a letter to the FCC, Federal Communications Commission, asking them to put a warning on shows that have LGBTQ+ themes.

"Democrats go so far as to state explicitly in their letter that transgender content will 'improve self-acceptance,'” the letter read.

"Parents deserve full transparency from television and streaming services regarding unwanted sexual content in programming rated for children, and it is our intention to provide them with the tools and information they need to make informed choices for their families.”

In recent years, numerous American parents have been frustrated with the inappropriate content in their young children’s shows.

In April, the FCC put out a

Air Travel Revolution: Airbus Flies Plane Over 24 Hours in Moves Toward Nonstop Flights from Europe to Australia

By Michael Austin August 10, 2026 at 9:15am

Airbus recently completed a test flight from Australia to France, a key step on the way toward enabling nonstop flights between Europe and Down Under.

The aircraft was a specially adapted A350-1000ULR and flew for 24 hours and 24 minutes, Fox Business reported on July 29.

The flight started in Melbourne, Australia, and ended in Toulouse, France, traveling 14,338 miles without stopping.

Fox Business reported that the flight was part of Australian airline Qantas’ effort Project Sunrise.

“The A350 will operate more direct routes to Australia, with a significantly shorter point-to-point travel time — reducing flight time up to four hours compared to the flight time of one-stop flights,” Qantas said on its

Gen Z Is Twice as Likely to Want This Type of Church

By Michael Austin August 10, 2026 at 9:30am

In comparison to older churchgoers, young Americans are twice as likely to prefer church services with more liturgical elements.

A poll from Lifeway Research released on July 28 found that one in five respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 — corresponding with Generation Z — would prefer “additional liturgical elements in their services.”

That’s more than double the rate of those 50 and older who say the same.

Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted that “many younger churchgoers are curious and eager to grow in their faith, but they may still be learning how the larger story of Scripture fits together.”

“Liturgical elements such as creeds and other regular practices can serve as helpful reminders of biblical truths and provide structure that guides believers through worship," he said.

At Least 22 Dem AGs Agreed to Coordinate Takedown of Trump, Keep Public in Dark Going Into 2024 Election

By V. Saxena August 10, 2026 at 10:56am

At least 22 Democratic attorneys general signed an ominous “common interest agreement” document before President Donald Trump’s 2024 election, vowing to pursue lawfare against Trump’s future administration.

The document outlined a lawfare campaign that would become known as the “Project for Federal Accountability,” according to The Center Square.

The document was reportedly signed three months before former President Joe Biden exited the 2024 presidential race to make room for then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

The “Project for Federal Accountability” was later referenced in then-New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s budget in early 2025, according to Zach Blackburn of the National Journal

Potential Contamination from Mexico Triggers Salsa Recall from Walmart, Target, Kroger

By Jack Davis August 10, 2026 at 11:34am

Jalapeño peppers grown in Mexico are at the root of a massive food recall.

The recall covers major outlets in 26 states, including Trader Joe's, Target and Walmart, according to a notice published on the website of the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA notice said Taylor Fresh Foods is recalling finished products containing jalapeños, including dips, salsa, and guacamole, that were supplied by Coast Citrus Distributors.

Coast Citrus realized that peppers from a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, were a potential source of a salmonella outbreak.

The FDA noted that salmonella "can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.” It warned that symptoms include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is prioritizing being a girlboss as a new life update sees the 36-year-old lawmaker freezing her eggs in hopes of starting a family at a later date.

The New York Post reported Sunday that AOC had been thinking about the decision for some time, but footage just came out of her injecting hormones for the process.

On how these injections work, Healthline noted that “medications are used to stimulate eggs to grow.”

“Those eggs are then harvested from the ovaries and frozen for storage. At a later date, the eggs

Glenn Youngkin Concludes There's No Such Thing as a 'Moderate Democrat Anymore' After Socialists Sweep More Primaries

By Michael Austin August 9, 2026 at 3:30am

Former Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin reacted to the latest wave of progressive socialist Democrats winning primary races, saying that there’s no such thing as a “moderate Democrat anymore.”

During the latest round of primaries on Aug. 4, socialist candidates secured more wins — most notably with Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim endorsed by major figures in the progressive wing of the party, clinching the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Michigan.

“The Democrat Party is in a battle for its very soul, and what we’re seeing is the socialists are winning it,” Youngkin concluded during a Wednesday interview on Fox Business.

Second Former NBA Player Declares for the WNBA Draft as Controversy Escalates

By Jack Davis August 9, 2026 at 4:00am

Former NBA player Royce White has decided that he is now a transgender athlete and wants to play in the WNBA — or at least that’s what the former player and former Republican senate candidate is saying.

White said he is declaring for the 2027 WNBA draft, and suggested a lawsuit could be in the wings if he gets a cold shoulder, according to Fox News.

Enes Kanter Freedom, also known for conservative activism, made a similar announcement Friday.

“I’m transgender. I’m a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional

Justice Department Settles With Pro-Life Father of 11 Whose Home They Busted Into

By Michael Austin August 9, 2026 at 4:30am

Paul Vaughn, a Christian anti-abortion activist and father of 11, settled with the Department of Justice years after he was arrested in a terrifying predawn raid.

The Thomas More Society, which represented Vaughn, noted that the 2022 FBI raid stemmed from his “praying, singing hymns, and peacefully protesting at an abortion facility in Tennessee.”

He was convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, also known as the FACE Act, by the Biden administration.

President Donald Trump pardoned Vaughn, along with 23 other anti-abortion activists, days after starting his second term.

The recent settlement brings “long-overdue justice to Vaughn and his family,” the Thomas More Society said.

"This family did nothing wrong. Paul prayed and sang. He bore witness to his faith

WNBA Commissioner Announces League Is Reviewing Trans Inclusion After Former NBA Players Declare for Draft

By Jack Davis August 9, 2026 at 5:00am

Thrust from the fringes of the sports world into the vortex of one of America's most emotion-laden issues, the WNBA is going to ponder a bit to determine exactly who is qualified to play in a women-only league.

Ever since Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham shared her personal opinion that men should not play against women, the league has been tempest-tossed as whatever might take place on the court becomes second to who says what about guys who claim to be girls.

Protests supporting and opposing Cuningham have been held in various venues.

The debate lurched into ludicrous territory Friday after former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White said they want to play in the WNBA next year.

Welcome to Y'all Street: America's Newest Stock Exchange Opens in Texas

By Michael Austin August 9, 2026 at 5:30am

A new stock exchange recently opened in Texas — meaning that “Y’all Street” is about to give Wall Street a run for its money.

The Texas Stock Exchange — also known as the TXSE or the “Tex-ee” — opened on July 31 in Dallas as the first new American stock exchange in decades, per a report from Fox Business.

The project plans to compete with the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Composite for new listings, expecting to facilitate initial public offerings, or IPOs, beginning in 2027.

Major financial institutions and asset managers — such as BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Charles Schwab — are backing the Texas Stock Exchange.

The effort recognizes that the “center of gravity for American capitalism” is increasingly located in
