Every time I learn something new about our founding, I think, “There’s no way this was all by chance.” Thank the Lord for His providence and grace in the creation of this outstanding nation. Happy 4th to y’all and happy 250th to my beloved America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

CPS and Texas Children's Hospital take child from innocent parents! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 29nd, 2026 Contact: Jeremy Newman, Vice President at Family Freedom Project Email: [email protected] Phone: 214-707-8445 Texas CPS is Using This Outdated Medical Theory To Remove Children [Brownwood, Texas] — On July 9, parents Candace and Nick will ask a Texas court to return their infant son, Luca, after he was removed from their custody following allegations based on the controversial diagnosis commonly known as "Shaken Baby Syndrome." Despite having no fractures, bruising, injuries, or external marks indicating abuse of any kind, doctors at Texas Children’s Hospital began recording accusations of abuse against the parents in medical records just 7 minutes after seeing on a scan that Luca had bleeding in his brain. The July 9 hearing comes amid increasing legal and scientific scrutiny surrounding the medical theory, which has become the subject of significant controversy in both courts and the medical community. Luca was born on September 30, 2025, following a high-risk pregnancy. After several healthy months at home, his parents rushed him to Texas Children's Hospital on January 10 when he experienced what appeared to be a medical emergency in which he was struggling to remain conscious. Doctors identified bleeding around Luca's brain and retinal hemorrhages, and within minutes they were accusing the parents of Shaken Baby Syndrome, despite numerous medical explanations remaining unexplored. CPS was notified, and within days filed suit seeking custody of the infant. Luca was removed from his parents and placed in foster care. "This case illustrates a troubling gap in Texas law," said Jeremy Newman, Vice President of the Family Freedom Project. "The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has recognized that the medical evidence underlying Shaken Baby allegations is too uncertain to support a criminal conviction, yet families in CPS cases can still lose their children based on the exact same allegation. Parents who seek emergency medical care for their children should not have to fear that asking for help will result in their family being separated." In 2024, in the case of Ex Parte Roark, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that the state's Junk Science law prevented a criminal conviction based on Shaken Baby Syndrome because the evidence presented was too scientifically uncertain. While that decision affects criminal prosecutions, it does not apply to civil child protection proceedings. As a result, families may still face the removal of their children based on the same disputed medical evidence. Luca’s parents also informed physicians of a history of blood-related disorders on both sides of Luca's family, as well as evidence showing that Luca had been suffering from a small recurring brain bleed since birth, both of which they believe warranted further medical investigation, Luca's case is not isolated, and FFP has defended multiple Texas families accused of Shaken Baby Syndrome under similar circumstances. Those children were ultimately returned home after independent medical experts challenged the initial diagnosis. On July 9, Candace and Nick will ask the court to return Luca to their care while the underlying medical issues continue to be evaluated. About the Family Freedom Project The Family Freedom Project is a Texas-based initiative dedicated to defending parental rights, exposing systemic failures, and helping families obtain experienced legal representation when government agencies wrongfully separate children from their parents. The Family Freedom Project brings experience, strategy, advocacy, and support when families need it most — helping parents understand their rights, fight unjust actions, and bring their children home. Because no parent should feel powerless when everything is on the line. ###

Kavanaugh’s concurrence is defensible. The Roberts majority opinion on birthplace citizenship, joined by Barrett, is not.

Why is this man, who admits he intends to foment treason, allowed to remain in the United States?

ICYMI: A big win at the State Board of Education! We are bringing God back into our classrooms and making sure our students understand the foundations of our country. Texas is the first state in the nation to require a public school book list, from kindergarten through 12th grade, that includes the Bible. This will start in the 2030-31 school year. bit.ly/4whHR3o

Jimmy is defiant, all right— he defies strong borders and Texas energy, defies Scripture on abortion, and defies both God AND science on gender and sex changes for children. The value of defiance depends on what you defy.

Almost every time you see this kind of belligerence and disregard for voters’ wishes, it’s because the political leader in question is in someone’s back pocket. So the question is, what’s the money flow that leads DeWine to give his constituents the middle finger like this? Who has bought him?

I welcome unity from the party. This is how we work together to beat the Democrats. Thank you, @leachfortexas and @MattShaheen.

Thank you to everyone who has texted, messaged, commented, and mourned with our family over the last week. Our entire Alders family has been humbled by the overwhelming outpouring of support. As was proclaimed repeatedly during the funeral service, Papa lived with Christ at the center of his life. He would want us to use the occasion of his death to remind everyone that there is life in Christ. So give your life to Jesus. Gather with His people for worship every Sunday. Walk with Him daily. If you live for Christ, you will die in Christ. And if you die in Christ you will be raised from the dead on the last day. That is reason for hope and joy.

We must stop this before it goes any further. No more immigration from Muslim majority nations. None. Close the doors.

For much of my life, the Republican Party has had a sort of detente with secular progressivism. We have resisted them in culture, but allowed them zones of safety in public education and higher education and city hall. We are now paying the price for it with the rise of democratic socialism and antisemitism in this generation. We must tell the truth now. This country was permitted and sustained by the Lord. Your ideas have failed and must be defeated in the public square.

The scandal here is not that Texas is going to start teaching some select passages of the Bible. The scandal is that all schools aren’t already teaching them given their importance to our nation’s history and to the canon of English literature.

“We are NOT a Christian nation!” “Separation of church and state!” “Benjamin Franklin was a deist!” On this date, June 28, 1787, Benjamin Franklin delivered his famous “Prayer Speech” at the Constitutional Convention. This is the one where Franklin, amid deadlocks and frustrations in the Convention, implored the delegates to begin sessions with prayer, acknowledging human limitations and seeking divine assistance. Here is the full transcript (from James Madison’s notes and standard historical sources, with minor spelling normalizations for readability): Mr. President: The small progress we have made after four or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other—our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed modern states all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances. In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.—Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that “except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it.” I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and byword down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest. I therefore beg leave to move—that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that service.

Can we please get a clue to all these people freaking out about Bible content in Texas schools? It is not for indoctrination or proselytization, and requires no belief system from the teacher. It is a factual representation of its significance in American history and culture.
