Hugh Hewitt and Dr. Joseph Loconte on The War over Liberal Democracy

Don Lemon—the former CNN host—has been arrested over the recent invasion of Cities Church in St Paul Minnesota. There are massive religious liberty and constitutional issues at stake.

What we witnessed was a political mob invading an evangelical church at worship. It was grotesquely and morally wrong. It was also illegal. There is no constitutional right to go into a place of worship and interrupt it for political protest. Period.

And what about Don Lemon? He was central to the story from the beginning.

His own comments indicate that he was egging the entire process on. He went with the invading group into the church and became part of the interruption.

My main concern is with the integrity of Christian worship. For the court, Constitutional issues will be paramount.

What’s at stake here is the freedom of a gospel congregation to worship according to its own convictions and to declare the gospel without fear of interference.

I think we all understand – those are huge non-negotiable issues.

George Orwell’s dystopian warning about language manipulation is increasingly writ large in the mainstream media.

The New York Times published essays from a man they identified as a ‘Gaza doctor’ who sharply criticized Israel for fighting the war Hamas started. Turns out this “doctor” is a well-known Hamas colonel.

And at CNN, the staff rebelled at the continued inclusion of analyst Scott Jennings, one of their few conservative contributors. Why? Jennings uses the term “illegal alien” to describe …  well … illegalaliens, rather than “undocumented immigrants”—the latest approved euphemism of the Left.

The term ‘illegal alien’ is not derogatory. It’s a term found in federal law and acts of Congress. The ‘journalists’ of CNN find it offensive because it is both accurate and truthful.

Accuracy matters. Truth matters. The mainstream media is only interested in dishonest propaganda masquerading as journalism.

In January last year, President Trump signed an executive order restricting irreversible sex change procedures for minors. But a recent legal judgment may do almost as much to bring this barbaric practice to a halt. 

A twenty-two- year-old woman has just won $2 million dollars after suing physicians who pushed a double mastectomy on her when she was sixteen. A psychologist and a surgeon persuaded her reluctant mother to consent, warning that refusal could place her at risk of suicide. 

Her attorneys argued that the doctors failed to ensure that her other psychological conditions were properly diagnosed and treated before operating.

A jury agreed.

This is the first successful detransitioner lawsuit, but it won’t be the last. Nearly thirty others are in process, and there will be more if ridiculously short statutes of limitations are reformed.

It’s a reckoning that’s long overdue.
