Tuesday’s oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court over controversial LGBT books in Montgomery County, Maryland schools contained numerous spirited exchanges between the justices and lawyers arguing the case. The conservative majority appears poised to rule in favor of the parents and against the radical school administrators. Mahmoud v.
Christians Should Be Defiant in a Compliant Culture

Why would the Colorado House of Representatives ram two radical bills attacking parental rights and promoting sexual confusion through on a Sunday? Clearly, they were wanting to reduce or eliminate the risk of objection from regular, common sense Colorado citizens. They were counting on the public to be looking the other way, be passive, or maybe even turn a blind eye. They counted wrong.

Georganne Baum sees the Colorado Springs Airport as a microcosm of life itself. “Every problem that can happen — every wonderful, joyful thing that can happen to any of us, you see working at the airport,” she told me this past weekend. “You see people who are coming in for weddings and showers and new babies. Then you see them arriving for a funeral when they’ve lost a loved one. I’ve talked to people who are coming into court because they were summoned from another state.

Say goodbye to petroleum-based synthetic dyes. As pledged and promised, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is set to announce on Tuesday that the FDA will be removing artificial dyes from American foods. The use of artificial colors in foods and cosmetics goes back over a century, and they’ve been considered largely controversial for most of that period. In fact, the Food and Drugs Act of 1906 banned the use of poisonous and dangerous colors.

At some point today, it’s likely that you’ve either asked or been asked about how you enjoyed Easter. The ultimate triumphal event on the Christian calendar, when Easter falls is based on a calculation known as the “Computus Paschalis.” Basically, the date each year when we celebrate Jesus’ miraculous Resurrection from the dead is always the first Sunday after the first full moon that lands on or after the first day of spring.

Easter Monday’s death in Rome of Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State, triggers a nine-day mourning period that will be marked by solemn ritual and ceremony. There will be prayers, Masses, processions and a funeral in St. Peter’s Square, and a burial inside St. Peter’s Basilica. Within a few weeks, the College of Cardinals will meet, black smoke will billow from the Vatican chimney until white smoke signals the election of a new pontiff.

It’s an adage that you never know when moments become memories until after they happen, and that was certainly the case this past Monday night. Our middle son is finishing up his first year of Trail Life USA, the faith-based scouting organization that was founded in 2013. It was early evening, and the windows of the old church chapel were open. The boys were called to attention for the posting of the colors.

The world’s 2.4 billion Christians are gearing up for the Paschal Triduum this week, the three days commemorating the final events of Jesus’ earthly life. Beginning Thursday, believers will celebrate Christ’s last supper. Next comes the agony and anguish of Good Friday, then the glory of His Resurrection from the dead late Saturday night into Sunday. It’s a remarkable and dramatic sequence, an almost too-good-to-be-true turn-of-the-tide. It’s three days that changed the world.

In the latest confrontation with Harvard University, the Trump administration has threatened to freeze over $2 billion in government grants, as well as revoke the school’s tax-exempt status. “Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘Sickness?’ President Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social.

As if right from the script, complete with the lengthening shadows and the setting sun falling on the emerald green grass of Augusta National, Rory McIIroy won the 89th annual Masters Tournament on Sunday evening in a one-hole playoff over Justin Rose of England. Just after sinking the winning putt, Rory stepped off the green, hugged and kissed his wife, Erica, and then stooped down to pick up and hug and kiss his daughter, Poppy. It wasn’t the first time a child stole the show in Georgia.
