Pakistan passes law that prohibits to curb child marriage

On May 30^th, despite fierce opposition from Islamist groups in Pakistan, President Asif Ali Zardari signed into law a landmark bill to curb child marriage, setting the minimum age for marriage for both genders at 18 years, reports Morning Star News.

Opposition included the Council of Islamic Ideology, which declared that classifying marriage under the age of 18 as rape did not conform with Islamic law.

The bill says that any man over 18 who marries an underage girl could face up to three years of rigorous imprisonment. Specifically, the bill states, “Living with a child under 18 in a marital relationship will be considered statutory rape.”

Sherry Rehman, who introduced the bill in the Senate on May 19 after its passage in the National Assembly on May 16, described the legislation as a crucial step toward protecting the rights of women and children.

Typically, kidnapped girls in Pakistan, some as young as 10, are abducted, forced to convert to Islam, and raped under cover of Islamic “marriages” and are then pressured to record false statements in favor of the kidnappers,

15 percent more Scottish mothers aborted their Down Syndrome babies

Public Health Scotland revealed there were 18,710 abortions in Scotland in 2024, the highest number on record, reports Right to Life UK. This represents an increase of 468 abortions.

Plus, there was a 15 percent increase in the number of babies with Down’s syndrome who were aborted. Worse yet, since 2021, the number of babies with Down’s syndrome who were aborted has increased by 81 percent.

In 2024, 41 percent of abortions in Scotland were repeat abortions.

In Psalm 139:13 and 16, David tells God, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. … Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”

Elon Musk’s return to the private sector

Elon Musk announced on social media that he is leaving his role in the Trump administration, reports The Guardian.

Spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk helped to cut $175 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse. Plus, D.O.G.E. helped to cut nearly 12 percent, or 260,000, of the 2.3 million-strong federal civilian workforce, largely through threats of firings, buyouts, and early retirement offers.

After receiving a gold key from President Trump on Friday in the Oval Office, Musk said this.

MUSK: “This is not the end of D.O.G.E., but really the beginning. My time as a special government employee necessarily had to end. It was a limited time thing. It’s 134 days, I believe, which ends in a few days. But the D.O.G.E. team will only grow stronger. I’m confident that we will see a trillion dollars of savings. So, I look forward to continuing to be a friend and advisor to the president, continuing to support the D.O.G.E. team.”

Musk’s political activities have drawn protests and some investors have called for him to leave his work as Trump’s adviser and manage Tesla more closely.

Kennedy Center VP fired over speaking truth about homosexuality

A prominent pro-Trump Christian says he was fired from his role as vice president of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. just because he refused to renounce his belief that marriage is between one man and one woman.

Floyd Brown, the founder of Western Journal, had been recruited about a month ago to serve as the performing arts center’s vice president.

He has spoken bluntly of his biblical understanding about God’s design for our sexuality.

BROWN: “Homosexuality is a punishment that comes upon a nation that has rejected God. They’re debasing themselves and their humanity.”

Leviticus 18:22 states: “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination.”

Floyd accused Kennedy Center President Ric Grenell, a homosexual who is in a so-called “marriage” to a man, of being intimidated by a CNN hit piece that highlighted what the news network called Brown’s “anti-gay” rhetoric.

Kentucky state legislator abandons sinking Democratic Party

Kentucky state Sen. Robin Webb has become so disenchanted with the Democratic Party that she became a Republican, reports The Western Journal.

She said, “While it’s cliché, it’s true: I didn’t leave the party — the party left me.”

She added, “As the Democratic Party continues its lurch to the left and its hyperfocus on policies that hurt workforce and economic development in my region, I no longer feel it represents my values. It has become untenable and counterproductive to the best interests of my constituents for me to remain a Democrat.”

YMCA’s pro-transgender policy endangers girls

Do you know what YMCA stands for? Young Men’s Christian Association.

These days, there’s nothing Christian about the YMCA’s woke, gender-confused policy at overnight camps.

Last Wednesday, the American Parents Coalition urged parents to “beware” that the YMCA allows boys, pretending to be girls, in girls’ spaces like overnight cabins, locker rooms, and showers, reports The Daily Wire.

Plus, the YMCA may not inform parents of their perverted policy which rightly raises privacy and safety concerns.
