Tennessean: A panel of state lawmakers voted Wednesday to strip state funding from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville’s diversity office following months of outrage from Republican lawmakers over two controversial posts on the office’s website.

John Stonestreet off BreakPoint has a great commentary on the madness surrounding the grand jury’s indictment of the investigative journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood’s evil methods. Here is an excerpt. A link to the full article is below. To put it very mildly, what happened in Houston was ironic. While Daleiden’s actions amount to a prima facie – the legal phrase meaning “at first glance” – violation of Texas law, no one believes he intended to buy fetal tissue. His and Merritt’s goal was to expose those who profit from this gruesome practice. Daleiden and Merritt announced they will surrender … Continue reading BreakPoint: The Indictment of David Daleiden
Officials at the University of Toronto were forced to eliminate their “gender neutral” bathroom policy after a string of incidents involving women being filmed while showering, Gender Trender reports. On at least two separate occasions last month, female students spotted cell phones being held over the stall partition to record them while they bathed. The perpetrators have not been caught.

From the Toronto Star: “Toronto … Continue reading Voyeurism incidents lead to closure of Gender Neutral Bathrooms on Toronto College Campus
Chattanooga-area state representative Mike Carter, an attorney and former Hamilton County sessions judge, joined in voting against marriage Jan. 20 in a Nashville state subcommittee, David Tulis reports. Says Cal Zastrow, a backer of the biblical doctrine of the lesser magistrate who attended the hearing: “He clearly acts in support of the rule by courts, not by law. His position condemns American independence as anarchy and rebellion. It also condemns obedience to God, whenever tyrannical courts order it so. Just before voting to uphold perversion, he even said, ‘God doesn’t have to tell me how to vote on this. I … Continue reading Tennessee marriage defeat part of early struggle vs. U.S. courts
The British parliament is debating today whether to ban Donald Trump from entering the UK, Breitbart reports. The debate comes after 570,000 people signed an online petition calling for Mr. Trump to be refused entry after he called for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the United States. Breitbart London reported last week how the effort is being spearheaded by a Muslim Labour MP, Tulip Siddiq, who has admitted previously campaigning for Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election and is one of the MPs who helped the hard-left anti-Israel Jeremy Corby become her party’s leader.
