Robert Clarke, a lawyer and the director of advocacy with ADF International was published in the Federalist on March 23, 2026 with his article: Around the World, Assisted Suicide Laws Are Losing Support. Clarke outlines how campaigns to legalize euthanasia and/or assisted suicide have lost their luster and a new direction has begun to begin rolling back laws that already exist.
Clarke writes:
Last week, Scotland resolutely rejected assisted suicide. Alberta announced major new legislation to protect individuals from the practice. And the clock is ticking in the United Kingdom’s House of Lords on a bill that would legalize the practice in England and Wales.
The Supreme Court gave Christian street preacher Gabriel Olivier of Mississippi the green light to proceed with a federal lawsuit after he was arrested for violating a city ordinance preventing him from ministering outside a public amphitheater.
This is a massive win for advocates of the First Amendment and religious liberty.
The 9-0 opinion, announced Friday, was authored by Justice Elena Kagan, an appointee of former Democratic President Barack Obama.
A unanimous opinion about religious freedom, written by a liberal justice? That should tell you everything.
In a world where the tentacles of partisan politics constantly creep into America’s courtrooms, this is a surprising outcome.
The Democrats’ partial government shutdown just crossed the one-month mark, and Americans trying to catch a flight are paying the price. Security lines stretch for three hours or more, and workers aren’t getting paid.
The shutdown started on February 14, when Democrats blocked a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, as a form of protest against immigration enforcement. And now, Elon Musk is stepping in to do what Democrats apparently can’t. While Democrats and Republicans duke it out, roughly 64,000 TSA employees are classified as essential workers — meaning they’re required to show up every single day, paycheck or not.
The communication uses magnetic field underground communication source technology, and is the world’s first successful attempt at it. Instead of relying on conventional radio waves, which get absorbed almost instantly by rock and soil, ETRI’s system uses low-frequency magnetic fields.
The setup includes a 1-meter-diameter transmitting antenna on the surface and a small, handheld-sized receiving sensor underground operating at around 15 kHz. That’s enough bandwidth to support a data rate of 2 to 4 kbps, which is sufficient for clear, two-way voice communication.
The team successfully tested bidirectional communication between the ground level and the fifth underground layer of a limestone mine, an environment where existing wireless technology cannot reach.
Previous research had only managed a few tens of meters. ETRI pushed that to 100 meters, and the technology is designed to go further.
Joseph Foreman, who goes by the name Afroman, was sued by the Adams County, Ohio Sheriff’s Office for defamation. Foreman had published a video of the police raiding his home in search of drugs, a raid that proved fruitless.
The police sued the singer of “Because I got High” over defamation. A jury of Afroman’s peers found the singer not liable, delivering to the police department a stinging rebuke of their attempt to stifle the First Amendment rights of Americans.
Afroman found not liable in bizarre Ohio defamation case – nypost.com
The verdict was the icing on the cake.
Afroman did not defame Ohio cops in a satirical music video that featured footage of them fruitlessly raiding the rapper’s house, a jury found on Wednesday.
The 51-year-old “Because I Got High” rapper, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, held up his hands in triumph and hugged people in the courtroom after he was found not liable for defamation, or invasion of privacy false light publicity.
Foreman was sued by the Adams County Sheriff’s Office over a drug search at his home in August 2022 that resulted in no criminal charges.
Afroman was found not liable on Wednesday in a bizarre Ohio civil case in which cops accused him of defamation over a music video that featured footage of them fruitlessly raiding his house.
The hip hop star wrote the satirical song “Lemon Pound Cake” and made a music video with real footage of the raid taken from his home surveillance cameras to raise money for property damage caused during the search, he has said.
Moody Bible Institute has settled with the Chicago Public School District after suing them for barring students from participating in Moody’s student-teaching program. The settlement ends the school district’s requirement that Moody must hire employees, even if they are not Christian, in order for students in their program to be able to be teachers in their schools.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Senior Counsel Jeremiah Galus stated in a press release, “Chicago desperately needs more teachers to fill hundreds of vacancies, and Moody’s students will be well-equipped and qualified to help meet that need.
“Moody holds its faculty and students to high standards of excellence, and we’re pleased to reach this favorable outcome that will allow it to participate in Chicago Public Schools’ student-teaching program. We’re hopeful other public officials will take note that they can’t inject themselves illegally and unconstitutionally into a religious non-profit’s hiring practices.”
Chicago Public Schools will now allow Bible college students into its teaching program, after lawsuit
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) will no longer bar students from a Bible college from participating in its student-teaching program after reaching a settlement Thursday in the college’s religious discrimination case.
Moody Bible Institute, a private Christian college in Chicago, sued the Chicago Board of Education in November, alleging CPS had unlawfully blocked its students from participating in the district’s student-teaching program because of the school’s religious hiring practices.
The lawsuit claims CPS excluded Moody students from its student teacher internship program after the college refused to abandon its policy of hiring employees who affirm the school’s statement of faith and agree to live according to its Christian beliefs, including on gender and sexuality.
“As a condition of participation, Chicago Public Schools insists that Moody sign agreements with employment nondiscrimination provisions that forbid Moody from employing only those who share and live out its faith,” the complaint stated. “Such a requirement is unlawful.”
“This man had American blood on his hands. His network specifically targeted current and former U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump.”
The Israeli Defense Forces announced on Wednesday that Iran’s Minister of Intelligence, Esmaeil Khatib, has been killed in a targeted strike that took place in Tehran. This comes amid the US-Israeli Operation Epic Fury in the Middle Eastern country.
A senior Israeli official told Fox News that Khatib had previously survived an attack that resulted in the deaths of dozens of Iranian leaders. The official said, “This man had American blood on his hands. His network specifically targeted current and former U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump.”
On Tuesday, California agreed to a settlement with the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, and other plaintiffs, and will pay over $1.3 million to cover the plaintiffs’ attorney fees.
The settlement arose from a lawsuit that was filed against California’s Marketing Firearms to Minors Law, which crossed into First Amendment territory by banning firearm advertisements.
Breitbart News quoted Ninth Circuit Judge Kenneth Lee’s September 2023 majority opinion against the law, where he wrote “…that [the Marketing Firearms to Minors Law] does not directly and materially advance California’s substantial interests in reducing gun violence and the unlawful use of firearms by minors. There was no evidence in the record that a minor in California has ever unlawfully bought a gun, let alone because of an ad.”

Lee added, “California cannot straitjacket the First Amendment by, on the one hand, allowing minors to possess and use firearms and then, on the other hand, banning truthful advertisements about that lawful use of firearms.”
Late last year, my colleague Elizabeth Stauffer reported that “ultra-conservative” candidate José Antonio Kast had won a landslide victory in Chile’s presidential election.
And by “ultra-conservative,” what is really meant is running for office by promising to take actions that normal people want and need. Kast, a Roman Catholic and lawyer, had a campaign centered on restoring order, cracking down on crime and illegal immigration, and revitalizing Chile’s market-oriented economic model through spending cuts and pro-business reforms.
How is Kast doing at this point? Less than a week after his inauguration, construction of a border wall between Chile and Peru began.
Less than a week after his inauguration, Chile’s arch-conservative president on Monday began overseeing preparations to build a border barrier — part of his flagship campaign promise to block immigrants from crossing illegally.
From Chile’s northern frontier area of Chacalluta, where legions of immigrants have slipped across the Peruvian border into one of the region’s most prosperous nations, Kast vowed to implement what he calls his “Border Shield” plan. Among other steps, it involves the construction of a physical barrier at the nation’s northern border made up of ditches and fences and patrolled by drones and the military forces.
…Kast assured the public that “for all of Chile, this is a milestone.”
“We have taken clear and concrete decisions to close our border to illegal immigration, drug trafficking and organized crime,” he said. “We want to implement this without any delay.”
Democrats and liberal media have been all in trying to disparage Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
If you listened to them, you would think we were being destroyed and were losing, despite the unparalleled success of the military operation.
It’s legitimate to ask questions. You can reasonably have concerns or maybe be against the actions now. What isn’t reasonable is pushing out false stories to undermine our effort and essentially help provide propaganda that could benefit Iran.
Then the public has to wade through that and evaluate what they think, rather than just assessing the facts. Which, of course, is why Democrats/liberal media are doing that.
But a new poll is putting paid to the Democratic narrative that people don’t support the effort.The McLaughlin survey of likely voters found strong support.
When voters were asked whether they approved of President Trump using the U.S. military to eliminate Iran’s nuclear missile program and its support for terrorism — given Iran’s refusal to negotiate an end to its nuclear weapons and missile development — 51% approved, while 41% disapproved.
Vice President J.D. Vance is being named America’s fraudbuster in chief.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that President Donald Trump will sign an executive order putting Vance in charge of an “anti-fraud task force” to “investigate fraud across the country,” according to the U.K.’s Independent.
A report in the New York Post said a White House document describing the order says “there is strong reason to believe similar vulnerabilities exist in California, Illinois, New York, Maine, and Colorado, where insufficient safeguards and weak oversight increase the risk of large-scale fraud.”
Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson will be vice chair of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. White House aide Stephen Miller will be a senior adviser.
The order calls for a comprehensive national strategy against fraud in which states partner with the federal government to provide housing, food, medical care, and financial assistance.
President Trump and VP JD Vance to officially launch their task force against fraud today: “This really going to establish a whole-of-government effort to fight fraud at both the state and federal level.”
“The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.”
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr warned that US broadcast networks could face consequences, including the loss of their licenses, if they continue airing what he described as “hoaxes and news distortions” related to coverage of the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Carr made the comments in a post responding to a statement from President Donald Trump lambasting media reporting about alleged damage to US tanker aircraft in Saudi Arabia.
In his post, Carr said broadcasters that “are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.”
Voters in three states will face upcoming ballot measures regarding protecting girls’ sports from transgender-identifying athletes and preventing minors from receiving sex changes, according to multiple reports.
Voters in states such as Colorado, Missouri, and Maine will be able to vote on the upcoming ballot initiatives in the midterm elections.
In Colorado, the organization Protect Kids Colorado got enough signatures for three ballot initiatives — Initiative 108, Initiative 109, and Initiative 110 — to qualify for the ballot, according to the Colorado Sun.
Under Initiative 108, child sex trafficking would be “punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole,” while under Initiative 109, transgender-identifying children would not be allowed to participate in sports that do not “align with their biological sex,” according to the outlet.
Two Indian-flagged tankers together carrying over 92,000 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas have arrived at ports in Gujarat state after safely passing through the Strait of Hormuz. New Delhi has been negotiating with Iran, but the government denies discussing the possible release of Iranian tankers it seized in February as part of the bargain. Meanwhile, global crude prices jumped again amid new Iranian attacks on the UAE.
Ali Larijani was the head of Iran’s Security Council and a key voice in the ear of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Gholamreza Soleimani was the head of the Basij militia. Both were pillars of Iran’s security apparatus. If they have indeed been taken out, the question is who replaces them, and will they take Iran down an even more hardline path?
The death of Iran‘s key figure Ali Larijani raises more questions than answers.
First, Israel says it has killed him in an air strike, but Tehran has yet to confirm or deny.
While Israel and the United States rejoice and call on the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow what is left of their Islamic leadership, the reality on the ground is less certain. The systematic killing of the leaders of Iran since February 28 has created a vacuum in Tehran.
The fear among analysts is that the space will be filled by regime insiders who will be hardened and more radical.
Larijani was the lead negotiator at the now aborted talks to find a peaceful way forward.
The Democrat Party is still holding America hostage and refusing to pay Department of Homeland Security workers. Yes, while there is a military action in Iran, and while there have been three terrorist attacks here in the past week. Democrats say they are doing it because “Americans” want reforms to ICE. They’re really talking about party activists like these specimens who prevented ICE from arresting a child rapist for a month.
This happened in Boston. Yes, where the mayor compares ICE to neo nazis. And is apparently forming a supergroup with the commie mayors from NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
ICE agents, out of frustration, reached out to Bill Melugin. They were attempting to detain WALTER ROBERTO VIDES-ORTEZ. Wally is an illegal from El Salvador who came here illegally in 2016 after his home country put out an arrest warrant. For child rape. Wally, the accused child rapist, had been living near an elementary school in Boston.
He told me while he & his team were in their vehicles surveilling the target’s residence in East Boston & waiting for him to come out, the ICE team was quickly surrounded by activists who blew whistles, cursed at them, and said they were traumatizing children at the nearby school down the street. Their cover was blown, the whole neighborhood was alerted, and the child rapist wasn’t arrested.
A federal appeals court has lifted a lower court order blocking a key immigration policy from President Donald Trump’s administration, allowing officials to resume deporting illegal aliens to countries other than their own.
In a 2–1 decision, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the administration’s request to pause a prior ruling that had declared the policy unlawful.
The decision allows the policy to remain in effect while the case moves forward on appeal.
Today, Governor Evers signed legislation expanding Wisconsin’s Safe Haven law, extending the time period in which an infant may be safely surrendered from three days to 30 days. The bill, authored by Senator Rob Hutton and Representative Rick Gundrum, is now 2025 Wisconsin Act 94.
The Safe Haven expansion brings Wisconsin in line with many other states and provides additional time for parents in crisis to safely and legally surrender a newborn at designated Safe Haven locations.
President Donald Trump revealed that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) was told he could be dead by June due to a severe heart condition before a dramatic intervention by White House doctors helped turn the situation around.
The stunning account came during remarks alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, who described the Florida congressman’s initial medical outlook as dire. Johnson first referenced the diagnosis while praising Dunn’s commitment to continuing his work in Congress despite the serious health concerns.
“[Dunn] had had a pretty grim diagnosis,” Johnson said. “I mentioned it to the president, and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work.’ And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire.”
“What was the diagnosis?” the president asked.
“It was… I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis,” Johnson said.
Trump then bluntly stated the gravity of the situation: “He would be dead by June.”
The Pentagon is launching a new task force to root out neo-Marxist ideology plaguing America’s war colleges, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday.
“We want military leaders who are critical thinkers; that have studied the principles upon which our Founding Fathers established this republic; and that are educated and prepared to win wars,” Hegseth said in a video message. “After the wokeness and weakness of Joe Biden’s administration, our warfighters deserve training with integrity; where the focus is on the warrior ethos, on deterrence, and on strength.”
Hegseth said that he has instructed Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata to establish a task force to “evaluate” America’s senior service colleges, where “our senior officers go to continue their education.” These institutions include the Army War College, Naval War College, National Defense University, and others.
Law-abiding citizens should not have to live this way. The public must have recourse when lunatic judges release career criminals back into the community.
In the meantime, at least some Nevada residents know that they can rely on their police to fight judicial tyranny.
According to KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department last week filed a petition with the Nevada Supreme Court rather than comply with an order from Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Eric Goodman, son of former Las Vegas Democratic Mayor Oscar Goodman, to release a dangerous career criminal under the department’s electronic monitoring program.
In January, police arrested 36-year-old Joshua Sanchez-Lopez on a charge of grand larceny of a motor vehicle. The defendant, a convicted felon most recently incarcerated after drug and involuntary manslaughter convictions, has an appalling 35 arrests on his record.
The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Thursday that it has determined four sham charities are directly bankrolling Hamas’s military wing and enabling its operations.
According to the Treasury Department, Hamas is hiding its revenue-generating activities behind civilian organizations, under the guise of humanitarian work, to support the group’s terrorist activities.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent was quoted in a press release yesterday, saying, “Hamas continues to finance its military wing by exploiting sham charities to support terrorist operations. The Treasury Department will not allow Hamas to misuse the charitable sector for its violent aims, and we will continue to target these networks wherever they operate.”
Four separate charities are accused of channeling cash to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which are suspected of carrying out some of the group’s most heinous terrorist activities.
Trump Admin STRIKES AGAIN!
The U.S. Treasury just sanctioned four sham “charities” funneling cash to Hamas terrorists and Qassam Brigades killers, posing as aid groups while funding rockets, tunnels, and murder.
In a major win for religious liberty and workplace accommodation, an Indiana school district agreed to pay $650,000 to settle with Christian teacher John Kluge after forcing him out over his refusal to use preferred names and pronouns,
[UPDATE] An Indiana school district has agreed to pay $650,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a Christian music teacher who said he was forced out of his job after refusing to use the preferred names and pronouns of students, according to his attorneys.
John Kluge sued Brownsburg Community School Corp. in 2019 after leaving his position at Brownsburg High School, arguing that the district failed to accommodate his Christian beliefs.
Kluge’s attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) said the district has now agreed to the payment after the case was revived following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that strengthened protections for religious accommodations in the workplace.
Under the settlement, the district will also “train its senior staff on how Title VII protects religious employees against discrimination,” Kluge’s lawyers said. The legal group did not publicly file the settlement agreement, submitting only a joint stipulation of dismissal.
“After almost five and a half years, common sense has prevailed at Brownsburg,” said David Cortman, senior counsel and vice president of U.S. litigation for ADF. “This settlement confirms what the law has always said: Public schools cannot force teachers to violate their religious beliefs. Title VII requires employers to accommodate their employees’ religious beliefs and practices. When they fail to do so—or worse, announce that they will grant no religious accommodations, as Brownsburg did—they can be held accountable. We hope this settlement shows teachers that they do not have to bow the knee to ideological mandates that violate their religious beliefs. And schools should learn that refusing to accommodate religious employees can be illegal and expensive.”
Regents order University of Iowa to discipline employee discussing DEI on undercover video aired on Fox News
A conservative private law firm hired to investigate two University of Iowa employees captured on undercover video discussing the campus’ compliance with state diversity, equity and inclusion laws is recommending the UI “initiate disciplinary proceedings” against just one of the employees.
Following a closed-door discussion Thursday at the Board of Regents meeting in Iowa City, board President Robert Cramer made a motion, which passed unanimously:
“In the matter of the investigation of ‘Employee A’ accept the findings and recommendation of Consovoy McCarthy and dismiss the complaint,” Cramer said. “In the matter of investigation of ‘Employee B,’ accept the findings and recommendations of Consovoy McCarthy and direct the University of Iowa to initiate disciplinary proceedings.”
Cramer did not disclose which employees were designated A and B, or detail what the “disciplinary proceedings” would entail.
