🚨TODAY: The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias published a report detailing how the Biden Administration’s prosecutions, policies, and practices demonstrated anti-Christian bias throughout the federal government.
The report details the Biden Administration’s radical efforts to punish Christians and highlights @POTUS’s efforts to restore religious liberty.

Glenn, we all agree the First Amendment is sacred. NRB has defended it for decades against government overreach––including last September when we stood up for Kimmel’s free-speech rights and urged the @FCC to apply standards fairly to all broadcasters without viewpoint discrimination.
But the Constitution isn’t absolute on violent speech. SCOTUS drew a clear line in Brandenburg v. Ohio: abstract advocacy of violence is protected, but speech loses protection when it is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to produce such action.
Kimmel’s prime-time ‘expectant widow’ joke about Melania––aired on federally licensed public airwaves, staring into the camera, just two days before a gunman tried to assassinate the President at the exact event Kimmel was parodying––isn’t comedy. In the middle of documented assassination attempts, it meets the Brandenburg test far more closely than general ‘tasteless joke’ protections allow.
That’s why our FCC filing is simply asking the Commission to do its job on broadcast licensees, who have public-interest obligations that go beyond what the First Amendment requires for unregulated press or podcasts. Free speech has never been a suicide pact. True stewardship of speech means recognizing the line SCOTUS already drew.

I want to make it really clear: If I were ABC, I would fire Jimmy Kimmel. But the government should stay completely out of this controversy. Kimmel has a right to speak and even say incredibly stupid, tasteless, and unfunny things on his show without federal crackdown. ABC has the right to air this garbage. And Disney has the right to employ him. But that doesn't mean Kimmel SHOULD say it. It doesn't mean ABC and Disney should do nothing. And it definitely doesn't mean you and I have to give a dime to The Mouse. Kimmel, ABC, and Disney are proving that they don't have any standards. They don't care about the responsibility they have as broadcasters to not pour gasoline on a fire. But that's not a government issue. Want to see real change? Let Disney know with your pocketbook.

Quote of the Day: @NRBCEO President & CEO Troy A. Miller: “We should be relieved that lives were spared Saturday evening; but relief can’t become complacency. We’re seeing a pattern of violence in this country that didn’t appear overnight. When influential voices joke about death or treat political opponents as disposable, it contributes to a culture where violence feels thinkable to the already unstable. National platforms carry real weight, and with that comes responsibility. That’s why this warranted action.”

Words have consequences. Especially on air. Enough is enough. The Left can not continue to spew this kind of rhetoric given the violence it breeds.

I thank God that the President, Cabinet officials, everyone at the dinner, and all those in the building are safe, including my own daughter.
Tragedies like this are exactly what we should expect from an increasingly irreligious and morally unmoored society.
We have now witnessed three attempts on the President’s life, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, multiple school shootings, and far too many other incidents.
These lone-wolf attacks will only multiply as more people grow up without moral grounding or a transcendent sense of right and wrong.
When someone comes to believe their political cause is more important than human life, their victim’s or their own, they become willing to throw everything away.
These individuals rarely “just snap.” They are conditioned by a steady drumbeat of hateful rhetoric that normalizes violence as a legitimate solution.
This must stop.

"Biblical illiteracy, therefore, is not a peripheral church problem. It is a civilizational crisis. The American experiment did not arise in a moral vacuum, nor was it sustained by constitutional procedure alone. While the Founders did not establish a confessional state, they operated within a moral framework deeply shaped by biblical assumptions about human nature, justice, sin, restraint, authority, duty, and accountability. Scripture furnished not only private devotion, but also a shared moral vocabulary through which public life could be understood."

This is a watershed moment exposing the SPLC’s deep hypocrisy. For years, the SPLC has profited by labeling Christian ministries and communicators as ‘hate groups’ while allegedly funneling donor dollars to the very extremists it claims to oppose. These charges confirm what @NRBAssociation members have long experienced: the SPLC’s designations are not tools for justice, but weapons to silence biblical truth and undermine religious liberty. We demand accountability, and we will continue fighting to ensure faith-based voices are not censored or defamed by discredited actors.

America’s real crisis Is biblical illiteracy. Our country lacks the theological vocabulary and discernment necessary to sustain the republic. As Benjamin Franklin famously said, “a republic, if you can keep it.”

I have become increasingly convinced that the central problem confronting both church and culture is not merely moral rebellion against biblical truth, but widespread unfamiliarity with it. We see this in public officials who invoke God in the language of prosperity, national sentiment, or self-affirmation rather than repentance, moral accountability, and divine authority. We see it in podcasters, influencers, and media personalities who handle Scripture with confidence but little theological discipline. We see it in Christian audiences so underformed that charisma, sentiment, and ideology are often mistaken for sound doctrine. The issue is no longer simply that Scripture is denied. It is that Scripture is often no longer known with sufficient depth to be interpreted responsibly, rejected intelligently, or applied coherently.

The persistent spread of unsubstantiated claims about Charlie Kirk's faith, despite clear contradictions from primary sources, is telling of the waging Information War in the West. In this digital age of algorithmic acceleration and ideological fragmentation, misinformation does not merely err but weaponized. And it truly is the gravest threat to truth and trust.
It exploits grief, rewrites personal legacies posthumously, and sows unnecessary division within the Body of Christ––all under the guise of revelation or ecumenical concern. Such revisionism dishonors not only the deceased and his family but the very epistemic discipline required for faithful public witness.
@charliekirk11 lived and died as a committed evangelical Christian—Presbyterian by baptism, anchored in the authority of Scripture, and unwavering in his proclamation of justification by grace through faith. No credible evidence supports narratives of a clandestine conversion to Roman Catholicism; these have been directly refuted by @MrsErikaKirk, by my friend @lucasmiles, and by Charlie's factual record of his life and final testimony. As leaders in Christian media and thought, we bear a particular responsibility: to model rigorous verification, to engage charitably across confessional boundaries without compromising doctrinal clarity, and to resist the impulse to amplify unexamined claims.
When speculation outpaces evidence, fellowship fractures and the Gospel's credibility suffers.Let us instead heed the wisdom of Proverbs 23:23: "Buy the truth, and do not sell it; get wisdom and instruction and understanding." In honoring Charlie's legacy, we defend the clarity he championed against the confusion he opposed. Praying for Erika, the @TPUSA and @tpusafaith family, and all who seek truth amid deception. May we steward our platforms with discernment and courage.
Lucas Miles@lucasmiles
A few recent interviews with John Yep ( @USAYep ) are circulating the claim that Charlie Kirk ( @charliekirk11 ) was in the process of converting to Catholicism. That claim is not accurate, and it needs to be corrected. As the Senior Director of TPUSA’s Faith division and someone who served directly under Charlie’s leadership during the final year and a half of his life, I am in a position to speak plainly about this. I have personally communicated with Charlie’s wife, @MrsErikaKirk, and I also spoke directly with Father Kline, the priest referenced in these discussions. After those conversations, the facts are straightforward: • Charlie was not in the process of converting to Catholicism • He never took Catholic conversion classes (OCIA) • His marriage was never convalidated in the Catholic Church • He was baptized Presbyterian and remained a Bible believing evangelical throughout his life Father Kline indicated concern that his prior comments have been misconstrued and that the current public narrative is not accurately representing his conversations with Charlie’s intentions. Let me be clear, respect for Catholicism is not the same thing as moving toward conversion. Charlie respected many people across denominational lines. Like many evangelicals, including myself, he read widely, including Augustine and Aquinas. None of that constitutes a conversion trajectory. In my own conversations with Charlie, he was firm on justification by grace and did not believe he could biblically reconcile certain Catholic doctrines, including Mariology and the invocation of the Saints. In the few instances he was present at mass, he found it peaceful and beautiful. Charlie enjoyed sitting inside the empty sanctuary to worship in peace without being asked for selfies etc. That is a long way from entering OCIA. If there had been an active conversion process, there would be documentation. There is none. Charlie loved all true Christians, whether Catholic, Orthodox, or Evangelical. Again, that is a long way from entering OCIA. That this even has to be addressed is bizarre. An occasional “fist bump” does not equate to intimate friendship nor give @USAYep the authority to speak on behalf of the dead. I would caution him to take care not to overstate what the facts simply do not support. This is not about scoring theological points. It is about honoring Charlie’s actual life and faith with accuracy and refusing to let speculation rewrite his story.

With all due respect, the Pope is wrong in his statement. His misdirected compassion leaves out a core doctrine of the Christian faith: the depravity of the human heart and its capacity to rule wickedly (Proverbs 28:15). For over four decades, the only thing “responsible dialogue” achieved was destruction, suffering, and death for the Iranian people and others around the world. The most morally responsible action was taken by the United States and Israel to rid the world of this evil regime and give the Iranian people a real chance at freedom. Christians are called to protect the poor and powerless, not to placate the wicked out of cowardice. God has heard the prayers of his people and has poured out his wrath on the Islamic Republic by the hands of his servants (Romans 13:4).

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

@NYCMayor Where was your post when the Islamic regime murdered over 30,000 of its own citizens? Your hypocrisy is a disgrace to the principles that founded this country.
English
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

We have several ministries that deal with Christian persecution, specifically those operating in Iran and serving the Iranian people. At the time of the Islamic Revolution, there were an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 Christians living in Iran. As a result of severe persecution, that number dropped as low as 100,000 as Christians fled the country. Today, there may be as many as 3 million in the underground church. Eliminating the evil, demonic regime of the Islamic Republic will protect those Christians and very well may bring revival across the Persian people. This clearly supports an America First priority that will help stabilize the region and likely save thousands of lives for decades to come.
Thank you @POTUS for your incredible courage in being a true world leader!

@RealCandaceO wants to make today’s actions all about her hatred for Israel.
Since 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has enforced a rigid, oppressive version of Shia Islamic law that crushes dissent, stifles Western ideas, and above all brutally subjugates women.
Women face public floggings, imprisonment, and even execution for defying mandatory hijab rules. In 2022, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini (Jina Amini) was beaten to death in morality police custody after arrest for an "improper" hijab—igniting nationwide protests that security forces met with lethal force.
Education is weaponized too: since 2012, universities have barred or severely restricted women from numerous STEM fields—mechanical, civil, chemical, mining, petroleum engineering, nuclear physics, forestry, and more—citing "gender suitability" or fabricated job-market excuses.
For over four decades, this regime has systematically stripped Iranian women of dignity and freedom. Every woman—conservative or liberal—should stand in fierce solidarity with their Iranian sisters by demanding decisive action to weaken and ultimately dismantle this radical theocracy that continues to terrorize half its population. Silence is complicity; supporting today’s actions is support for the freedom and justice for Iranian women. Christian women should be leading this cause!
