When U.S. Womens National Team player Korbin Albert reposted a TikTok of a young mans testimony about his Christian faith and recovery from homosexuality and transgenderism‚ she probably thought she was doing something good.And she was.Just not according to Megan Rapinoe‚ who Allie Beth Stuckey calls a completely insufferable‚ progressive activist and for good reason. During the 2023 Womens World Cup‚ Rapinoe was so radical and divisive‚ she had half the country rooting against the United States. When Albert reposted the video‚ Rapinoe‚ per her typical character‚ was quick to issue the following scathing statement on Instagram:For people who want to hide behind my beliefs I would just ask one question‚ are you making any type of space safer‚ more inclusive‚ more whole‚ any semblance of better‚ bringing the best out of anyone? ... because if you arent‚ all you believe in is hate. And kids are literally killing themselves because of this hate. Wake TF up! Yours truly‚ #15. For all my trans homies enduring this horrific treatment day in and day out‚ I see you and hear you and I am WITH YOU.Unfortunately‚ instead of sticking to her guns‚ Albert quickly bent the knee and issued an apology for sharing content that was offensive‚ insensitive and hurtful‚ claiming that she was really disappointed in [herself] and would do better.Allie is disappointed in Alberts response.Just looking at the objective standard of God';s word‚ this was the wrong thing to do‚ she says. This was sin to apologize for this. If the word of God says something‚ it is good enough for us to repeat.The word of God divides; the gospel divides; the truth about who God made us to be in his image and that his gospel liberates us from the lies of the world ... is a controversial and radical and divisive message‚ says Allie‚ adding that regardless of the cost to us‚ Gods word is worth standing on.Allie hopes that Albert will indeed do better but rather in accordance with Gods standards rather than the woke mobs.To hear more‚ watch the clip below.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allies upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture‚ news‚ and theology from a Christian‚ conservative perspective‚ subscribe to BlazeTV the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her lover are in hot water once again.Willis has been accused of illegally recording a phone conversation. Nathan Wade‚ who was up until last month the special prosecutor in former President Donald Trump';s Georgia election interference case‚ faces contempt of court proceedings in his divorce case.Quick recapWillis‚ who recently described herself as the ";face of the feminist movement‚"; has been scrutinized for months over accusations of ";systematic misconduct"; and various other improprieties. The troubles effectively began for Willis when Ashleigh Merchant‚ an attorney for Trump codefendant Michael Roman‚ filed a Jan. 8 motion to disqualify claiming she was ethically compromised by her ";improper‚ clandestine personal relationship"; with Wade.Willis hired Wade the day after he filed for divorce from his wife‚ Jocelyn Wade. Willis and Wade';s relationship allegedly preceded the appointment by at least several months.Subsequent motions to disqualify Willis accused her of prejudicing potential jurors with her racially charged commentary‚ misusing public monies‚ conflict of interest‚ coordinating with the Biden White House‚ giving Wade preferential treatment‚ and of possibly running afoul of the federal racketeering statute.Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled on March 15 that Willis could continue overseeing the prosecution of the case so long as Wade resigned his post as special prosecutor which he ultimately did. McAfee did‚ however‚ blast Willis for the ";unprofessional manner of [her] testimony during the evidentiary hearing‚"; her ";bad choices‚"; her ";tremendous lapse in judgment‚"; and her ";legally improper"; remarks.McAfee cleared Trump and several of his codefendants to appeal his ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals. They formally did so last week. The court has fewer than 45 days to make up its mind.While it';s unclear whether disqualification is still on the table‚ it';s clear Willis could still be held accountable for other alleged improprieties.The phone callChristopher Kachouroff‚ the attorney representing Trump codefendant Harrison Floyd in the Georgia case‚ accused Willis Tuesday of illegally recording a phone call with one of his Maryland-based colleagues.Kachouroff told legal analyst Phil Holloway‚ ";[Willis] did reach out to us‚ one of my colleagues in Maryland‚ and was rude‚ abrupt with him on the phone and he was dealing with the Maryland case and I was dealing with the Georgia case and she ended up recording him.";Kachouroff underscored that Maryland is a two-party consent state. Newsweek noted that Maryland is one of 11 states with a two-party consent requirement.Under Maryland';s Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act‚ it is a criminal offense to record a conversation without the consent of all involved parties. Any person who does so is ";guilty of a felony and is subject to imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than $10‚000‚ or both.";";So are you saying that she illegally recorded a phone call?"; asked Holloway.";Oh yeah‚"; replied Kachouroff. ";It';s a felony in Maryland.";Floyd shared the relevant excerpt of the interview to X‚ writing‚ ";She is a DEI thug with a law license. Will anyone in GA stand up to her?"; (@) Floyd‚ a former Marine and martial arts instructor‚ was a senior staffer for Trump';s 2020 campaign who ran Black Voices for Trump. He was indicted in Georgia on charges of racketeering‚ conspiracy to solicit false statements‚ and influencing witnesses. Floyd has pleaded not guilty.In a subsequent post on X‚ Floyd shared a screenshot of an Aug. 29‚ 2023‚ article published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that referenced a phone call Willis had recorded.";Willis'; office provided the Atlanta Journal-Constitution with a recording of a phone call Willis made that same day to attorney Carlos J.R. Salvado‚ who is Floyd';s attorney in an unrelated criminal case in federal court in Maryland‚"; reported the Journal-Constitution. ";In the call‚ she explained that she had sent a representative to meet with Floyd at the jail when he turned himself in. Willis told Salvado that Floyd was offered a consent bond at that time‚ but he refused it.";Floyd wrote in a Thursday post on X‚ ";I don';t want to put a black woman in Jail. But if [Fani Willis] does not recuse herself from this case by noon on Monday‚ I may have no other choice than to pursue all lawful remedies. Make Fulton Great Again.";Holloway responded‚ ";I suspect Maryland law applies here. I know for a fact it';s unusual and unprofessional for a lawyer to record a call with another lawyer. Whether or not it';s a crime is for Maryland to decide but regardless it';s a bad look.";Newsweek reached out to Willis'; office for comment but appears not to have received a reply.Possible contempt of courtNathan Wade may have resigned from Trump';s Georgia case‚ but he appears altogether unable to avoid controversy.Jocelyn Wade‚ the former Trump prosecutor';s ex-wife‚ filed contempt of court proceedings against Willis'; lover with the Superior Court of Cobb County on Wednesday‚ reported WAGA-TV.According to the court filing‚ the now-divorced couple agreed earlier this year that Nathan Wade would pay for his estranged wife';s medical expenses until further order of the court.Jocelyn Wade is now apparently in urgent need of medical procedures‚ ";namely an endoscopy‚ colonoscopy‚ and ultrasound‚ due to severe physical symptoms she has been enduring‚"; which ";have significantly impacted her ability to consume most foods‚ leading to a substantial weight loss.";The filing claims Jocelyn Wade has notified the former Trump prosecutor of her desperate need for these procedures as well as the need for prepayment in the amount of $4‚400. The trouble is that Nathan Wade has allegedly ";failed and neglected to fulfill his obligation under the Temporary Order to cover these necessary healthcare costs.";The filing further suggests that Jocelyn Wade has been unable to front the cash for the procedure because she has been helping pay for her daughter';s living expenses‚ whom Nathan Wade allegedly cut off on the day her rent came due.Regarding their respective expenses‚ Nathan Wade allegedly told both his son and his daughter to ";get the money from your mother.";According to the filing‚ Nathan Wade';s ";multiple‚ willful failures to comply with the terms of the Temporary Order and Agreement constitutes contempt of court.";Newsweek‚ which pressed Wade for comment‚ indicated the prospect Wade may be slapped with a contempt of court charge may also blow back on Willis.Like Blaze News?

Tennessee is not just any state. In fact‚ it might just be the Christian conservative equivalent of California in terms of the combined wealth‚ ingenuity‚ and talent that resides there among those claiming a biblical worldview. My visits to the Volunteer State have left me inspired and impressed.Yet‚ we are nonetheless in the position now where the federal government is going to brazenly take peaceful citizens from Tennessee and put them in prison for the crime of using their God-given constitutional rights to defend the God-given constitutional rights of others.This is not a drill. Unless we rewrite the rules of engagement that we have become accustomed to‚ a host of Tennesseans are going to follow Jonathan Darnel to jail.Four pro-life Christians were convicted this week of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for protesting outside a Nashville-area abortion clinic in 2021. The defendants could face up to six months in prison‚ five years of supervised release‚ and fines of up to $10‚000.Meanwhile‚ six other Tennessee citizens from the same incident were found guilty of similar charges in January and are scheduled for sentencing on July 2 that could include up to 10-and-a-half years in prison‚ three years of supervised release‚ and a fine not to exceed $260‚000.So‚ I ask you this under such obscene circumstances: Have we arrived at the moment when Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R)‚ the chief executive officer to whom state law enforcement answers directly‚ calls out the sheriffs or maybe the National Guard and directs them to protect the lives and homes of his constituents from any further infringements or usurpations by the federal government?Before you answer that‚ maybe a little perspective would help from somebody already sitting in prison for the same so-called crime of protesting the murder of innocent babies. Jonathan Darnel is one of nine anti-abortion activists found guilty of violating the FACE Act during a protest at a Washington‚ D.C.‚ abortion clinic. He has been in jail pending sentencing since September 2023.Most of Christian America doesnt realize that we are not just harmless eccentrics being picked on by an abusive DOJ‚ Darnel said. God willing‚ we are the vanguard of a revived national rescue movement and an opportunity for Christian America to summon courage and defy a government that has grown too wicked to command our obedience.What do you say‚ Gov. Lee? When is enough is enough? Christian school children were already murdered by a transgender terrorist in your state. With that memory still so fresh‚ can you find the strength to fulfill your oath to defend the people of Tennessee against all enemies‚ foreign and domestic?Can we count on Republicans to understand and implement the doctrine of the lesser magistrate‚ which makes Lee and the law enforcement officers under him every bit as obligated as the federal government to preserve and protect the rights of its citizens?The hour is late. We have little time left to wait for answers after so many wasted years of Republican caving and equivocation.I';ve been doing political activism as my full-time work for almost 18 years now‚ and during that time‚ Ive had plenty of first-person exposure to how the other side rolls. Never once in any of those interactions has the phrase thats the best we can do in a red state been uttered about a Democrat candidate. They go on offense whenever and wherever they are‚ while the GOP often acts like a permanent minority even when it has all the votes and all the power.They do the long march through the institutions. We do surrender now before its too late failure theater.If a nation is truly founded on the things we claim to believe in on the right‚ then weve been ignoring our duties and obligations as both citizens and elected executives for far too long. Our founding fathers would have been shocked at the injustices we tolerate in the name of our nonsense and our comfort. Heck‚ just look what happened when their tea was taxed too vigorously. War!But we obviously arent a free people like they were any longer. Because any truly free people would not let things get to the point where they have to beg the leaders on their side to keep them out of jail for the crime of praying.This is not a drill. Unless we rewrite the rules of engagement that we have become accustomed to you know‚ where Republicans pretend they are some sort of tactical Sun Tzu bringer of glorious red waves when all we really ever get from them is Dorf on politics a host of Tennesseans are going to follow Jonathan Darnel to jail.Yet‚ look at the hope that Darnel still has while he sits unjustly behind bars. Why on earth cant that be our hope while we still have the freedom to act? Why wont we let that lion out of its cage and be the courageous vanguard of truth and righteousness that he speaks of?If we wont‚ the next one to end up in a cage could be you. And the fault will be yours as much as anyone elses.This is a time for choosing. Youre up‚ Gov. Lee.

United States District Judge Aileen Cannon rejected on Thursday Donald Trump';s motion to dismiss his classified documents case on the basis that the Presidential Records Act permitted him to retain classified documents.The decision seemingly hands special counsel Jack Smith a pretrial victory. However‚ legal experts believe Trump was the real winner of Cannon';s latest decision.The backgroundLast month‚ Judge Cannon asked both special counsel Jack Smith and Trump';s defense team to prepare potential sets of jury instructions incorporating his PRA defense.The first set of instructions:In a prosecution of a former president for allegedly retaining documents in violation of 18 U.S.C. 793(e)‚ a jury is permitted to examine a record retained by a former president in his/her personal possession at the end of his/her presidency and make a factual finding as to whether the government has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is personal or presidential using the definitions set forth in the Presidential Records Act (PRA).The second set:A president has sole authority under the PRA to categorize records as personal or presidential during his/her presidency. Neither a court nor a jury is permitted to make or review such a categorization decision. Although there is no formal means in the PRA by which a president is to make that categorization‚ an outgoing presidents decision to exclude what he/she considers to be personal records from presidential records transmitted to the National Archives and Records Administration constitutes a presidents categorization of those records as personal under the PRA.In a filing on Tuesday‚ Smith blasted Cannon for indulging what he believes is a legal defense made of ";pure fiction.";Smith argued that ";both scenarios rest on an unstated and fundamentally flawed legal premise‚"; arguing the ";PRA should not play any role at trial at all."; To allow the defense into trial‚ Smith claimed‚ would ";distort the trial.";The special counsel‚ moreover‚ threatened to seek pretrial appellate review an unusual move if Cannon allows the jury to hear Trump';s PRA defense.To be clear‚ we do not yet know if Cannon will allow Trump';s attorneys to use the PRA defense at trial. Her request for potential jury instructions merely shows that she is considering how‚ if at all‚ it may fit into the trial.Still‚ Smith demanded that Cannon immediately decide if she will allow the defense into trial.Cannon';s latest rulingOn Thursday‚ Cannon rejected Trump';s motion to dismiss the case but signaled that Trump could possible use the PRA defense at trial.More importantly‚ Cannon scolded Smith for making ";unprecedented and unjust"; demands.";The Court';s Order soliciting preliminary draft instructions on certain counts should not be misconstrued as declaring a final definition on any essential element or asserted defense in this case. Nor should it be interpreted as anything other than what it was: a genuine attempt‚ in the context of the upcoming trial‚ to better understand the parties competing positions and the questions to be submitted to the jury in this complex case of first impression‚"; she explained.That Cannon left open the possibility that Trump may resurrect his PRA defense at trial is a win for him‚ legal experts said.";Instead of the judge saying‚ ';OK of course‚ [Trump';s argument is] ludicrous.'; She just said‚ ';I';m not deciding that pretrial. I might let that happen during the trial and maybe that';s what I';ll decide in the midst of the trial. Now I';ll actually say‚ ";Oh‚ those are your personal documents. I issue a judgment for acquittal.";'; That';s called Rule 29‚"; explained law professor Ryan Goodman on CNN. ";She could do it in the middle of the trial and then it';s too late. That is not appealable‚"; he said.Goodman then observed that Cannon';s ruling at first appears to be a ";loss"; for Trump‚ ";but not really.";";I think this is not what Jack Smith wanted to hear‚"; he explained. (@) Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig agreed. He said on CNN that Cannon';s decision is ";impossible"; to appeal‚ and Smith should be worried.";This is why I think Jack Smith is concerned with today';s ruling. Although he won in the sense that the court did not dismiss the charges if I';m Jack Smith? And I think Smith feels the same way‚ I';m very worried about this defense going to a jury because it';s confusing‚ because it';s complicated‚ because it';s technical‚"; Honig explained.";Prosecutors always want to tell a simple‚ straightforward story. And frankly‚ defendants want to muck things up‚"; he continued. ";And as much as I think this defense lacks merit‚ I do think it could confuse a jury in a way that would worry me‚ as a prosecutor.";Like Blaze News?

Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger denied that the organization is pushing any particular messaging into its content‚ claiming it is focused on delivering entertainment first. Appearing on CNBC';s ";Squawk on the Street‚"; Iger was asked about woke ideology at the company‚ with host David Faber claiming that Iger had told him that he would ";love to be out of the culture wars.";";Do you think you';re succeeding in that?"; Faber asked.";I think the noise has sort of quieted down‚"; Iger replied. ";I';ve been preaching this for a long time at the company‚ before I left and since I came back‚ that our number one goal is to entertain."; The CEO added that he didn';t think the often-used term ";woke"; was fully understood by many audience members‚ and that the company';s first priority is to be entertaining.";The bottom line is that infusing messaging as a sort of number one priority in our films and TV shows is not what we';re up to. They need to be entertaining. Where the Disney Company can have a positive impact on the world‚ fostering acceptance and understanding of people of all different types‚ great. But generally speaking‚ we need to be an entertainment-first company.";When asked what ways he has tried to foster such an environment‚ Iger shared that he has been engaging with executives and creatives at the company to influence a return to their roots‚ and align priorities. Iger did mention that the company is trying to reach a ";diverse audience"; and said certain viewers can sometimes be ";turned off by certain things."; He added that Disney has to be more sensitive to the interests of a broad audience.Iger was also asked about Elon Musk ";coming after"; him ";all the time‚"; to which the CEO shrugged off the question. ";I ignore it ... there';s no relevance to the Walt Disney Company or to me ... people have been coming after me and the company for years.";The executive was faced with the prospect of another Donald Trump presidency and asked if it would change his approach to ";anti-wokeness.";Iger simply stated that the company has seen many presidents over its 100-year history and generally did not give a specific answer to the question.Iger';s interview was a victory lap of sorts after successfully denying investor Nelson Peltz and former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo a pair of seats on their board of directors.Peltz has openly criticized how Disney has been run and recently asked why their film division would have any black- or female-centric movies.";Why do I have to have a Marvel thats all women? Not that I have anything against women‚ but why do I have to do that? Why cant I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-black cast?";Shocking failures of Disney movies have piled up under multiple brands like Marvel and Star Wars. It was even revealed that the latest Indiana Jokes flick lost the company more than $130 million.Peltz‚ who owns millions in shares in the company‚ was looking to de-woke its film division‚ but Iger still claims he is trying to accomplish that feat.Like Blaze News?

A wild tale of stolen identity came to light last year after a DNA test proved a man had been secretly living under the name of an old coworker he';d met 35 years earlier.The saga begins in Albuquerque‚ New Mexico‚ in 1988. There‚ Matthew David Keirans‚ a young man in his early 20s who had run away from his adoptive parents when he was a teenager‚ met William Donald Woods‚ a young man from Kentucky‚ when they started working together at an area hot dog stand.The length of time they worked together and the extent of their relationship are unclear‚ but somehow Keirans got ahold of Woods'; Social Security number and later that same year‚ stopped using his true name altogether and began living as Woods. He later acquired documents‚ such as driver';s licenses and a Social Security card with Woods'; actual Social Security number‚ in Woods'; name. At one point‚ he even managed to receive an official copy of Woods'; birth certificate from Kentucky after doing a search into Woods'; family history through Ancestry.com.In 1994‚ Keirans‚ using the name Woods‚ married a woman. The couple eventually had a child‚ whose last name apparently remains Woods to this day.As the years passed‚ Keirans secured a well-paying position in the IT department of University of Iowa Hospital‚ and the nature of his job allowed Keirans to work remotely from his home in eastern Wisconsin. From 2013 until 2023‚ he earned more than $700‚000 from that position and was making more than $140‚000 annually at his peak.With a solid income and a seemingly normal Midwestern life‚ Keirans had opened multiple credit cards and bank accounts and taken out several loans to make major purchases‚ including at least three Jeep vehicles. By 2022‚ he had more than $200‚000 in loans from various credit unions in Iowa and more than $100‚000 in loans from a national bank.Meanwhile‚ the real William Woods was down on his luck. He was living on the streets of Los Angeles when he learned in 2019 that $130‚000 in loans had been taken out in his name. He then ventured into a local branch‚ claiming he did not want to pay off the fraudulent loans and asking to close his accounts. He even furnished bank staff with an authentic Social Security card and California state ID‚ which matched the information listed on bank records.However‚ Woods of course could not answer the security questions on the accounts since they had been opened by Keirans. So‚ the bank contacted LAPD. When detectives reached out‚ Keirans faxed over documents that seemed to prove he was Woods except for one problem. His Wisconsin driver';s license listed his middle name as David his real middle name while Woods'; middle name is Donald. But Keirans managed to convince the detective that he sometimes used the middle name David.In October 2019‚ Woods was arrested and charged with two felonies related to identity theft. Court documents in that case alleged that Woods'; real name was a misspelled version of Matthew Keirans‚ though Woods never wavered about his true identity.By February 2020‚ after Woods had been languishing in jail for four months‚ a judge ruled that Woods was not mentally fit to stand trial. That October‚ Woods was taken to a mental hospital‚ where they administered psychotropic medications to him.On March 17‚ 2021‚ Woods pled no contest to the two felonies and was sentenced to time served. In all‚ he had spent 428 days in jail and 147 days in the psychiatric facility. Upon his release‚ the judge ordered Woods to use his supposedly real name‚ Keirans‚ from then on. Woods did not obey. He immediately began contacting credit agencies and law enforcement‚ trying desperately to prove he';s the man he has always said he was: William Donald Woods.Through his investigations‚ Woods learned that Keirans was working for the Iowa hospital and contacted a member of the security team there to plead his case. The security official turned the complaint over to a local detective‚ who treated Woods'; accusations seriously. He even managed to locate Woods'; father in Kentucky and persuaded the elderly man to provide a DNA sample.DNA tests later proved definitively that Woods is the old man';s biological child and that Keirans is a lying fraud. But before tipping his hand‚ the detective had a bit of fun with Keirans first. In an interview last July‚ he asked Keirans to give his father';s first name. Rather than respond with the name of the man in Kentucky‚ Keirans accidentally slipped and gave the name of his real adoptive father.When the detective confronted Keirans with the DNA evidence‚ Keirans knew the jig was up. ";My life is over‚"; he admitted‚ according to court documents. ";Everything is gone."; He was right. He was arrested on July 18 and soon afterward lost his lucrative position at the hospital.Keirans‚ now 58‚ was arrested and charged at the local level before the feds came in and dropped the hammer. In December‚ he was indicted on seven federal charges‚ and on Monday‚ he pled guilty to two of them: one count of making a false statement to a National Credit Union Administration-insured institution and one count of aggravated identity theft. He now faces more than 30 years in prison. His sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled‚ and he remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals.Woods'; current whereabouts have not been reported.Like Blaze News?
