Gov. Of Arkansas, Sarah (Huckabee) Sanders, Pushes Back Against Atheists, Unlike The MIlquetoast Politicians And Clergy Pandering To The Hard Left!

 "Sanders’ pushback against the Freedom From Religion Foundation is laudable not only because so many other politicians have caved to leftists but because she reminded atheists that Jesus loves them too."

From lifesitenews.com and written by Charles Richards Fri Jan 2, 2026 - 7:05 pm EST: Sarah Sanders stands up to atheists after shutting down state offices to celebrate ’Christ the Savior’ - LifeSite

"(LifeSiteNews) — Secularists and atheists alike were predictably furious with Sarah Huckabee Sanders this past Christmas. It’s just not that they found her professed love for Jesus Christ problematic. It’s that she used her position as governor of Arkansas to spread the truth that Jesus Christ is the Savior of Mankind.

On December 16, Sanders issued a declaration recalling that “more than two millennia ago in the little town of Bethlehem, far from the centers of power in first-century Rome, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a humble manger.” Sanders added that “on that first Christmas, Christ’s arrival was unassuming” and “not focused on the wealthy or powerful but rather on the poor, powerless, and meek.”

Sanders then approved an extra day off for state employees on December 26 “in order that [they] may spend this holiday with their families giving thanks for Christ’s birth.”

On December 17, one day later, the anti-Christian Freedom From Religion Foundation – which seemingly had nothing better to do one week before Christmas – published a letter objecting to Sanders’ statement. The group accused her of presenting “core Christian beliefs as government-endorsed truths.”

“When a governor proclaims Christian theology as part of official state business, it sends a clear message that non-Christians are outsiders in their own state or even second-class citizens,” their statement claimed.

Sanders replied with a letter of her own on December 19. In an X post, Sanders said, “Christmas isn’t a just a holiday, it’s the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth. Meaning matters, we won’t pretend otherwise.” She then explained the rationale for her decision in a follow up letter.

“You say that my communications as Governor must be neutral on matters of religion,” she noted. “I say that, even if I wanted to do that, it would be impossible. Christmas is not simply an ‘end-of-the-year holiday’ with ‘broadly observed secular cultural aspects,’ as your letter states. It’s not gifts, trees, and stockings that make this holiday special. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and if we are to honor Him properly, we should tell His miraculous, world-changing story properly, too.”

Naturally, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) refused to let the matter go. They quickly issued yet another snarky statement accusing Sanders, who had just participated in a menorah lightening ceremony, of using her office “as a platform for preaching rather than as a position of trust.”

To her credit, Sanders did not back down. “I will not apologize for or retract my Christmas proclamation giving state workers an extra day off,” she said in yet another X post on December 22.

Sanders’ willingness to push back against the FRFF is laudable, not only because so many lawmakers have genuflected to the altar of political correctness and anti-Christian groups in recent decades, but because she knows that the people who work at the FRFF are loved by Jesus Christ, too. More than anything, her reply was an attempt to remind them of that love that Christ has for them. “Though you may enter this season with bitterness, know that Christ is with you, that He loves you, and that He died for your sins just the same as He did for mine and everyone else’s,” Sander said to them in her letter. What an amazing reminder of the truths found in the Gospel.

Whether the FRFF will follow up with a lawsuit or some sort of campaign to pressure other lawmakers across the U.S. to stop honoring Christmas remains to be seen. Whatever they end up doing they have been given a great reminder by Governor Sanders that those who recognize Jesus Christ as the Savior of Mankind will not be intimidated by them. They have also been shown that Christians, like Our Lord Himself, want those who reject Christ to know that He loves them and wants them to be with Him in heaven for all eternity. May we pray that those who work at the Freedom From Religion Foundation will soften their hearts, give up their fight against Jesus Christ, and come to embrace the true faith in the coming year."

This Just In!! New Hampshire Governor Announces “Sanctuary Cities Are Officially BANNED” After... Laws Took Effect On Jan 1

 From thegatewaypundit.com and written by Jordan Conradson Jan. 2, 2026 4:20 pm: JUST IN: New Hampshire Governor Announces "Sanctuary Cities are Officially BANNED" After Anti-Sanctuary City Laws Took Effect on Jan 1 | The Gateway Pundit | by Jordan Conradson

"Anti-sanctuary city laws took effect in New Hampshire on Thursday after Governor Kelly Ayotte signed two bills requiring cities to cooperate with federal authorities and immigration detainers for illegal aliens who are charged with a crime. 

The Governor championed the enacted laws in an X post on New Year’s Day.

“As of today, sanctuary cities are officially banned in New Hampshire,” she said.

“We will never go the way of Massachusetts and their billion-dollar illegal immigration crisis.”

A May 22 press release from Ayotte’s office read,

Today, Governor Kelly Ayotte signed House Bill 511 and Senate Bill 62 to ban sanctuary cities and support cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.

Governor Ayotte released the following statement after signing both bills into law:

“I said from the beginning that we won’t let our state go the way of Massachusetts and their billion-dollar illegal immigrant crisis. Today, we’re delivering on our promise by banning sanctuary cities and supporting law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. New Hampshire will never be a sanctuary for criminals, and we will keep working every day to remain the safest state in the nation.”

Per NHPR:

Ayotte, a Republican, signed Senate Bill 62 and House Bill 511 on May 22 with much fanfare. She was surrounded by Republican lawmakers in the Executive Council chamber, where posters were displayed reading “Sanctuary Cities BANNED,” and “DON’T MASS UP New Hampshire.”

Proponents of the bills say reducing illegal immigration is a legitimate priority and that there are high-profile examples of violent crime perpetrated by people without legal right to be in the U.S.

 But HB 511 actually “prohibits New Hampshire law enforcement agencies from investigating an inmate’s citizenship status unless subsequent to an alleged violation of New Hampshire law or pursuant to an authorization by law.”

Another provision of the bill requires law enforcement agencies to comply with immigration detainers for someone being held in jail as part of an investigation of a crime.

SB 62 has similar wording but also authorizes county jails to hold people subject to ICE detention orders for up to 48 hours following the resolution of their state charges."

The Effects Of Contraception And Abortion In South Korea: Loses Over 4,000 Schools In A Generation To Birth Rate Collapse!!

 Why do you think that in the U.S., so many novus ordo, synodal parishes/churches are closing or consolidating since the 1970's and forward?

Ever since the rebellion against Humanae Vitae, issued by Paul VI, especially by our northern neighbors (the bishops openly displayed disobedience!), but also that rebellion was and is firmly entrenched here in this country, the birth rates have plummeted, causing that very same consolidation!

(By the way, here is another horrifying statistic for New England: 

Birth Rates in New England

In 2021, there were approximately 3,664,300 births recorded in the United States.  About 4% of U.S. births that year were recorded in the six-state New England region.  With 9.63 births per 1,000 population, a rate that was 12.8% below the national average, New England had the lowest regional birth rate in the nation in 2021.  In fact, every state in the region recorded a birth rate that was at least 10% below the national average.)

My emphasis...

From breitbart.com and written by Frances  Martel 1 Jan 2026, comes this horrific revelation: South Korea Loses over 4,000 Schools in a Generation to Birth Rate Collapse

"The South Korean Ministry of Education revealed this week that over 4,000 schools have shut down nationwide between 1980 and March 2025, responding to the rapid collapse of the child population in the past generation.

School enrollment in South Korea dwindled by nearly 5 million students during the same time period, according to the Korea Times, indicating that the school shutdowns are directly related to South Korea’s status as the world’s least fertile country.

“Elementary schools account for the majority of closures, with 3,674 shut down permanently, compared with 264 middle schools and 70 high schools,” the Korea Times reported. “Over the past five years alone, 158 schools have closed, and an additional 107 schools are projected to shut down over the next five years.”

The newspaper went on to note that studies by Korean government-linked experts indicated that the number of schools is expected to continue to fall through the end of the decade, educating over 800,000 fewer students in the next five years.

The newspaper, citing the Ministry of Education, identified the catastrophically low birth rate as the “chief reason” the school system is shrinking.

The remaining students, Education Ministry officials noted on Tuesday, are also struggling to stay in schools and, in many cases, to stay alive amid a wave of mental health and suicide cases. The Ministry revealed that it had documented 221 teen suicides in 2024, over 100 more than in 2021, over half of them in the greater Seoul area. The government of leftist President Lee Jae-Myung is treating the situation like an emergency, announcing plans to hire large numbers of mental health professionals for schools by 2030, expand counseling and hotline services to ensure 24-hour availability, and implement other measures.

The situation with schools mirrors reports that began surfacing in 2023 of a significant decrease in the number of available pediatric services in the country. As the number of babies being born declined, medical students began avoiding pediatrics as a lifetime career out of financial concern. Pediatricians, reports in 2023 noted, were paid less than peers in other medical fields and less than pediatricians in other countries — in addition to facing the concern of too small a pool of customers to support their business.

Concerns of a lack of appropriate medical care for children in the country were exacerbated by two horrors stories in 2023, both involving hospitals rejecting child patients due to a lack of appropriate staff. One case involved a 17-year-old girl who suffered a major head injury and died after being rejected by four hospitals; no hospital took her before her death. In the second case, a five-year-old died with a respiratory complication after also being rejected by four hospitals, though a fifth hospital took him in before his death.

The alarm about a lack of medical care for their potential children added to already existing anxieties that would-be Korean parents expressed to media about starting families, fueling the birth rate decline. South Korea recorded its first-ever decline in population in 2020, reporting 20,838 fewer people than in 2019. The population at the time stood at about 51.8 million people. The birth rate at the time was documented as 0.92, far lower than the 2.1 rate (meaning, an average of 2.1 children per childbearing woman) necessary for what is commonly referred to as “replacement fertility,” the number of children needed to mitigate deaths and ensure no change in the population.

In April 2025, the birth rate was documented as 0.79, the lowest in the world. Statistics Korea, a government agency, nonetheless reported the first good news on the birth rate front in June that the country had seen in some time — a modest increase in the raw number of childbirths in the country. Following the implementation of aggressive policies to encourage couples to start families under deposed conservative former President Yoon Suk-yeol, who declared the country in a state of “national demographic emergency,” South Korea documented an 8.7-percent increase in childbirths between April 2024 and April 2025. Yoon was impeached and ousted after attempting to impose martial law on the country in December 2024.

“The rise in births appears to be influenced by increased marriages since last year, growth in the population of women in their early 30s, and various birth promotion policies by the central and local governments,” Statistics Korea observed in June.

In addition to attempting to offer money and other incentives for couples to become parents, the South Korean government faces a culture increasingly hostile to children. The phenomenon of “no-kid zones” began emerging in 2023, typically including cafes and restaurants as well as other spaces often considered to be for children in the West, such as museums and libraries. Le Monde reported that “hundreds” of businesses in South Korea were identifying as “no-kid zones” by 2024, including the National Library of Korea.

While an extreme case, South Korea is far from the only country facing projected population decline as a result of low fertility rates. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) warned in its annual “State of the World Population Report” in June that the planet is facing a “fertility crisis” in part due to governments and societies offering inhospitable climates for couples to be able to afford and raise children.

“As policymakers and pundits raise the alarm about fertility rates, they often assume that if people are having children, it’s because they can and want to, and if they’re not it’s because they can’t or don’t want to,” UNFPA observed."'

Pazzo!! (Crazy) Italian Court Approves ‘Gender Transition’ For 13-Year-Old Girl!!!

 Italy, where St. Peter and St. Paul were martyred, is now allowing minors to change their God-given sex -- and all with the approval and support of her nutty parents!!

From lifesitenews.com and written by Gaetano Masciullo Wed Dec 24, 2025 - 10:13 am EST: Italian court approves ‘gender transition’ for 13-year-old girl - LifeSite comes this unbelievable story!

Don't the parents know they will be held accountable for this lunacy??

But then again, maybe they don't believe they will face their Particular Judgement??

"LA SPEZIA, Italy (LifeSiteNews) — An Italian court in La Spezia has legally recognized the supposed “gender change” of a 13-year-old following a medically supervised “transition” process.

On December 21, 2025, the Tribunal of La Spezia, in northern Italy, ordered the rectification of the birth certificate of a 13-year-old minor, allowing the change of both name and registered sex from female to male, after accepting a request submitted by the parents and supported by medical and psychological assessments documenting a completed “gender transition” process.

“This is a historic ruling in terms of precedent,” said family lawyer Stefano Genick, stating that “at 13 years of age, his gender identity is already consolidated, as confirmed by the court-appointed medical evaluations.”

The court decision formally recognizes the adolescent as the youngest individual in Italy to have legally completed a so-called “gender transition.” The ruling followed an application filed by the parents and examined by the judges, which assessed medical documentation, psychological reports, and the minor’s personal situation.

While the legal decision was welcomed by the family and their legal representatives, it also prompted public criticism. Jacopo Coghe, spokesperson for the Italian organization Pro Vita & Famiglia, strongly criticized Italian judges for allowing minors to undergo supposed “gender transition” processes while restricting other forms of consent.

“At 13 years old, Italian law does not consider a minor mature enough to get a small tattoo on their arm, yet it allows them to undergo a gender transition with hormone therapies to change their legal sex and name. This is absolute madness,” Coghe said in an official note.

“We will fight to change Italian law and prevent minors from being involved in sexual transitions, as is happening in more and more countries around the world. It is also chilling to think that the same judiciary that approved the parents’ request in this case is the one that tore apart the ‘Family in the Woods’ and denied their reunification over alleged educational shortcomings. This is a complete overturning of common sense, justice, and reality.”

In 2021, when she was nine years old, the little girl reportedly began to display masculine behaviours. The first to notice this was said to be her twin sister, followed by the parents. The family therefore began to treat her as a male and turned to a major hospital in Florence, which followed the case in the subsequent years from a clinical and psychiatric standpoint.

Specialists in andrology and endocrinology effectively diagnosed gender dysphoria and initiated therapy with triptorelin, a drug that blocks puberty by reducing the production of sex hormones. The family then asked Italian judges to legally recognize the “transition,” so that the girl would be listed as “male” also in official documents.

The court accepted the request. The decision was based on several explicitly cited factors, including “the psychotherapeutic pathway followed consistently, the hormone therapies administered successfully, and the mature management of the social discomfort associated with the process of change,” as reported by the Italian newspaper Libero. The judges concluded that the minor had developed “full awareness of the incongruence between his body and his experienced gender identity.”

There is no Italian law establishing a minimum age for so-called “gender transition,” either from a medical or a legal standpoint. In the rest of Europe, however, the situation varies greatly from country to country: Spain has the more permissive regulation (Ley Trans 2023), while in Hungary such procedures are outright prohibited, and in countries such as Poland there is no specific law.

In Italy, thanks to this ruling, from now on a nine-year-old child may be considered capable of beginning a “gender transition” process, even though the 2011 law no longer requires surgical intervention to change official documents. Italian law, however, at the same time considers persons under the age of 14 not mature enough to be held criminally responsible for serious offences such as theft or homicide, and always treats them as subjects to be protected through social services."

Please pray for this little girl and her parents for conversion to God-given common sense, the Natural Law and the Ten Commandments!
