Most Americans want more faith in the public square and want to have more say over what their children learn in the classroom, according to a new survey of attitudes toward religious liberty released Friday. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty released its annual Religious Freedom Index, documenting a rise in support for Americans to practice their faith in public and private. The index surveyed over 1,000 Americans and asked them for their opinions on a range of topics from curriculum opt-outs to sharing faith in public. “This year’s Index shows that Americans – and especially younger generations – increasingly share a vigorous vision of religious liberty, one that is not confined to churches and private homes but expressed openly in the public square,” Becket wrote in its report, which was first obtained by The Daily Wire. Becket found that 73% of Americans believe that parents should be able to opt their kids out of public school curriculum. That is a ten point increase since 2021 and comes after the Supreme Court ruled last year that a group of Maryland parents should be allowed to take their kids out of classroom instruction involving LGBT and sexuality-focused materials. That case was brought by Becket on behalf of a coalition of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim parents. The survey found that 62% of Americans supported that decision. “When it comes to raising children, mom and dad know best. That common-sense idea commands overwhelming support, with nearly three-quarters of Americans agreeing that parents should have the final say on what their children are taught in public school. It’s a powerful reminder that in our nation, families—not government officials—are the primary educators of the next generation,” Eric Baxter, the vice president and senior counsel at Becket, told The Daily Wire. More Americans also believe that Americans should be free to share their faith in public, including at work and school. “[Fifty-seven percent] of Americans agree that religious freedom is inherently public, and that Americans should be free to share their faith in public spaces, such as at school, work, or on social media — a five-point rise since 2020,” the index found. Notably, new guidance issued by the Trump administration last year made it clear that federal workers are allowed to invite their co-workers to church and share their religious beliefs with them. The survey also found that a plurality of Americans (47%) believe that Christian counselors should be allowed to guide children away from gender-confusion, 58% say that bakers and cake artists should not be forced to create a product that violates their conscience, and 65% approved of a recent Supreme Court decision that sided with a Catholic charity that sued Wisconsin after it made it pay certain taxes that other religious organizations were exempt from.

For Vinnie Moore, the guitar and the music he’s created have always been an extension of his mind and body. “Music was always there,” Moore tells ClassicRockHistory.com. “What you listen to is always going to influence and inspire, you gravitate toward things you like.” What Moore liked, and still likes, is six-string-based instrumental rock, accented by melodic interludes and gnarly solos. It comes naturally to him, mainly because it’s bred from his core. “I love what I do,” Moore says. “It’s all I ever wanted to do,” he adds. “There’s not much more to it, other than I keep moving The post An Interview With Vinnie Moore Of UFO appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Global warming has gone cold as an issue. Despite decades of panicked predictions of doom, it’s never been a high priority for voters, and Trump’s bold expressions of “climate denial” went unpunished by voters. The media still sound allied with the Green New Deal pushers, but the thrill is gone. Last November, leftists blasted ABC, CBS, and NBC for barely touching the “COP30” global climate summit in Brazil. (PBS gave it nearly 16 minutes, and ten of it was a John Kerry softball interview.) Now Axios.com posted an analysis by Amy Harder on this trend, titled “The world's great climate collapse.” Greenpeace gang, beware: “The last year has seen an epic reversal that spread quickly from governments to boardrooms to pop culture.” Not only has Trump dismissed climate panic, Harder noted Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, once one of the world's most vocal “climate advocates,” is now repealing some of his country's climate policies. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair also issued a memo questioning the wisdom of pursuing "net zero" emissions policies. Then there’s billionaire Bill Gates, an unelected global leader. He circulated a memo criticizing the climate movement while shifting much of his money and focus back to public health — just four years after publishing the book "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,” a best-seller that drew gushy reviews from AP, CNN, USA Today, and Oprah Daily magazine. With Trump in office, Ford pulled back sharply from its electric-vehicle plans, shifting focus to more popular and profitable hybrids and gas vehicles due to slowing EV demand. Europe scaled back its plan to ban gasoline-powered cars in the next decade and softened climate disclosure rules, which The New York Times captured with a dejected headline: "Europe Begins to Tiptoe Away From Key Climate Policies." The Axios analysis even claimed even Hollywood is tiptoeing away, “swapping climate angst for oil swagger, as seen in the current hit TV show Landman." That’s not entirely true. In December, the CBS drama Fire Country featured a firefighter lecturing like Al Gore: “We all know damn well there is no fire season anymore. Thanks to climate change, it's all year round. Just keeps getting worse,” and concluding “We’re at war.” Also in December, Daily Show star John Stewart brought on New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert to uncork the usual panic. Manhattan used to be an ice sheet like Greenland, she said. Stewart then quipped, “See, what I hear from that story is, if we keep this up, we could turn Greenland into Manhattan.” Kolbert jumped on the panic button: “That is absolutely true. Keep it up, but there's 20 feet of sea level rising. So Manhattan will not be here.” This is not a new shtick. In 2008, ABC News showed a picture of New York City vanishing underwater in its prediction of what will happen by 2015. Ooooops. Never forget that in 1989, leftist scientist Paul Ehrlich narrated a segment on NBC’s Today predicting that global warming would trigger a flood to completely cover Washington D.C., which obviously never happened.   After eco-leftists predicted certain climate-change doom by 1995, or by 2000, or by 2015, and now we’re still doom-less in 2026, the public should be skeptical that they’re the most credible experts on predicting what the future holds. If the perpetual climate panic machine has collapsed, it’s because the facts never lined up to prove any reason to panic. Their authoritarian “solutions” – banning everything from gas-powered cars to gas stoves and grills – needed the fuel of panic to be forced on the public. The bloom is off their poisoned rose. 

A native Salvadoran faces likely deportation after pleading guilty in connection with nearly $1 million in COVID-related fraud.On Tuesday, a man who calls himself a woman and prefers the name Ruby Corado learned that he will have to spend 33 months behind bars followed by two years of supervised release. Corado pled guilty to one count of wire fraud back in July 2024.Corado was previously charged with bank fraud, wire fraud, laundering of monetary instruments, monetary transactions in criminally derived proceeds, and failure to file a report of a foreign bank account. Prosecutors dropped the other charges in exchange for the guilty plea.'You betrayed this country.'In 2020, Corado applied for two federal COVID-relief loans on behalf of Casa Ruby, the now-defunct nonprofit he founded in Washington, D.C., ostensibly to help homeless LGBTQ+ youth. An Economic Injury Disaster Loan and a Paycheck Protection Program loan, both from the Small Business Administration and totaling $956,215, were then deposited directly into a Casa Ruby account, according to a defense sentencing memorandum.However, Corado instead wired at least some of those funds overseas and hid them from the IRS, prosecutors claimed, according to NBC Washington. Corado also escaped to El Salvador in 2022, apparently to evade federal authorities.Prior to sentencing, Corado submitted a statement to the court, admitting to funneling at least $200,000 to El Salvador. He claimed he had hopes of establishing Casa Ruby services there"I am sorry that my mistake impacted my work," he told the court.RELATED: Transvestite founder of LGBT group caught 2 years after fleeing country; faces federal fraud charges Photo by Linda Davidson/Washington Post/Getty ImagesIn his statements during the sentencing hearing on Tuesday, D.C. District Judge Trevor McFadden issued a scathing rebuke of Corado."You betrayed this country," McFadden said, according to WUSA9. "You spotted an opportunity to defraud the American people."McFadden also professed himself "very dubious" that Corado tried to bring Casa Ruby to El Salvador, noting that the defense offered no evidence that Corado had attempted to establish any nonprofit there.McFadden also ordered Corado to pay back the SBA in full.The defense had argued for leniency, requesting that Corado, who identifies as a "transgender woman," be able to serve his sentence at a local jail or perhaps even at home out of fear that the Trump DOJ will place him in a men's facility in accordance with his "biological sex":DOJ policy has moved to align federal detention practices with directives rejecting gender identity in favor of "biological sex," resulting in transgender women being transferred into men’s facilities and in efforts to curtail gender-affirming medical care. Attorneys representing transgender women in BOP custody have described these shifts as placing their clients in "incredibly dangerous" situations, effectively emboldening predators and exposing inmates to foreseeable harm. As one longtime advocate explained, the signals sent by these policies can determine "whether a person lives or dies."Whether Corado will be housed in a men or women's facility remains unclear, though he was incarcerated in a men's jail after his arrest in March 2024. What is clear is that Corado will likely be deported back to El Salvador after his sentence is concluded."Your deportation is likely if not certain," Judge McFadden said.Corado also faces a civil suit regarding alleged failure to pay Casa Ruby employees. Though that suit was paused pending the criminal proceeding, it may soon resume now that Corado has been convicted.Like Blaze News?
