National Guard Officer who Shared Christian Beliefs Removed from Command in Idaho
The Idaho Army National Guard is under fire after removing an infantry officer from command and pressuring him to resign following complaints from another soldier about his Christian beliefs.
The officer reportedly expressed his religious beliefson his private social media accounts, where he shared opinions about the sexualization of minors as well as gender ideology. Some of the comments that drove the soldier to complain about him included his opposition to “the medical mutilation of gender-confused children,” drag events at schools and libraries, and the availability of obscene children’s books and libraries. He also said that he thinks “no child is born in the wrong body” and that males should not be allowed to compete in female sports.
A sensitive subordinate took issue with his stances, even though they were shared outside of the military environment, saying that they indicate he “truly hates the LGBTQ community.” He was apparently so offended by his Christian beliefs that he filed a complaint that claimed: “I feel like I have been discriminated against because of my sexual orientation and that is [sic] has caused a hostile work environment.”
The soldier, who claims he is homosexual, added: “I am deeply concerned about the hostile and prejudiced behavior I have experienced, which has adversely affected my well-being, work performance, and overall sense of belonging within the workplace/organization.”
He said that he felt “unsafe” and accused his superior of “hate” toward himself as well as his husband and child.
This prompted the National Guard to remove him from command, and officials then pressured him to quit. They went on to conduct a formal investigation that took a year and ended with the recommendation that he be barred permanently from command.
The officer who investigated him indicated that enlisted personnel who express traditional values and morals are “extremists” who should not be promoted or serve. He also recommended that the National Guard adopt a policy of looking for political and religious statements that enlisted candidates for high-profile roles have made in public forums.
Legal group is supporting officer’s right to free speech and seeking his reinstatement
The National Guard officer who was the subject of the complaints is being represented by Liberty Counsel, who are fighting on behalf of his right to free speech and pressing the National Guard to restore his career. They have already notified Idaho Governor Brad Little about the violations and are calling for the National Guard to dismiss the frivolous complaint. They asked the governor to respond to them by the end of the month or face further legal action.
“In this instance, the Idaho Army National Guard has violated the First Amendment, Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Idaho Constitution, and the Free Exercise of Religious Protection Act. In addition, it has become evident that this military branch seeks to implement a policy of discrimination against the religious beliefs of enlisted personnel,” they noted.
They also stated that the officer believes that everyone is created in God’s image and deserves respect. They explained that he is perfectly capable of carrying out his duties regardless of his religious beliefs and any conflicts they may have with the beliefs of others under his command, stating: “He is committed to serving those under his command, regardless of political or religious disagreements, and would give his life in defense of his state and nation.”

Canadian Pastor Convicted of ‘Criminal Harassment’ for Protesting Drag Queen Events Targeting Children
CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — A judge has found a Canadian pastor guilty of “criminal harassment” for protesting “drag queen story hours” targeting children at a public library earlier this year and for breaching his bail conditions, which ban him from protesting at any LGBT-themed event.
“A judge found me guilty today of criminal harassment for expressing my opposition towards drag queen story hour to a library manager set on hosting the event. For posting the video of our interaction on Facebook, and saying we’ll be back (to protest) if the event continues,” said Calgary Christian pastor Derek Reimer in a message sent to LifeSiteNews.
Reimer is the leader of MISSION7, a Christian organization that focuses on outreach to the homeless of Calgary. He told LifeSiteNews that his charges, handed to him from the Alberta Court of Justice by Justice Karen Molle on August 22, stem from incidents from March 25 to April 2.
“This charge is punishable up to two years, and I will be posting the sentencing date soon,” he noted.
While finding Reimer guilty of “criminal harassment,” Molle also acquitted him on charges of causing a disturbance, dismissing two charges alleging that he caused a public disturbance after he used a loudspeaker outside two separate drag story events. Molle ruled that these were not criminal offenses.
Additionally, Reimer was found guilty of four counts of breaching his bail conditions, which ban him from protesting outside “drag queen story time” events in Calgary.
The pastor’s lawyer, Andrew MacKenzie, noted that an appeal of the August 22 ruling is possible. As it stands now, he is out free on bail.
Reimer is still facing a court decision on charges from an incident that occurred on February 25, 2023, in which he was charged with causing a disturbance and mischief for protesting outside another drag event targeting children. He was forcibly removedfrom a public library after protesting at the event, at which he said, “homosexuality is a sin.”
For this charge, he was also banned from being within 300 meters from any LGBT event.
As reported by LifeSiteNews earlier this year, trespassing charges against Reimer for praying in a municipal building were dismissed.
He has been arrested many times for protesting “drag queen story time” and other LGBT events in his city.
Last April, his van was vandalized with an anti-Christian message as well as a satanic symbol while he was in jail for yet another arrest related to his pro-family activism.
Last year, Calgary passed a new “Safe and Inclusive Access Bylaw” that disallows “specified protests” both inside and outside all city-owned and affiliated public buildings.
The bylaw means pastors or concerned parents protesting pro-LGBT events at public buildings will be barred from getting within 100 meters of any such location.
Those who are found guilty of breaking the bylaw, such as Reimer, can face fines of up to $10,000 and one year in jail.

Pro-Abortion New Mexico Man Charged After Swerving Car at Pro-Lifer, Stealing Sign
ALBUQUERQUE (LifeSiteNews) – A New Mexico man is being charged with larceny and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after swerving his car toward a pro-life activist outside an area abortion facility, then having a verbal altercation and stealing a pro-life sign.
Abortion Free New Mexico (AFNM), which maintains daily “peaceful, prayerful” sidewalk counseling outside the city’s three abortion facilities, reports that the incident took place on August 15 outside the Whole Woman’s Health abortion center, where AFNM leader Bud Shaver was standing with a sign. After swerving his car toward Shaver, the man later identified as Derek Moore parked and confronted Shaver, which Shaver recorded.
Moore can be heard telling Shaver he could not erect the sign on public property and seen taking it upon himself to remove it. An argument ensues, during which Shaver says, “you want to hit me with your car, punk?” Moore first denies he did anything, then strikes a dismissive tone: “Call the cops, they won’t do anything.” Shaver films Moore walking away with a sign bearing the message, “Love Will End Abortion.”
According to the police report from the Albuquerque Police Department (embedded in AFNM’s story), Moore denies any nefarious vehicular intent and claims he was merely “distracted and accidently pulled to close [sic] to a curb, then swerved back into his lane and continued on his way.” He told police he “saw someone (Shaver) obstructing the sidewalk with a bunch of garbage, so he parked his car. Derek stated he then went and picked up a piece of the garbage to ‘throw it out’. Derek stated (Shaver) followed him and called him a communist. Derek stated (Shaver) was having an ‘illegal protest and obstructing the sidewalk’.”
If convicted, Moore faces up to 18 months in prison on the assault charge. The pro-life group adds that he has since been identified by other local pro-life activists, who relayed that he has a history of similar harassment.
“Abortion Free New Mexico would like to thank the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) for responding so quickly to this incident and following through with the charges,” responded AFNM spokeswoman Tara Shaver. “Hopefully, the unhinged Derek Moore will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. A strong message needs to be sent to the pro-abortion community that they can’t attack peaceful pro-life Christians for simply living out their Christian faith in the public square.”
“Abortion Free New Mexico volunteers go the the sidewalks outside of local abortion centers with love and compassion,” Shaver added. “Clearly our peaceful, prayerful presence is having an impact. Our team will not be deterred, we will purchase some more signs and materials and return to Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility more resolute than ever to help pregnant women in need and save precious babies’ lives.”
Despite longstanding pro-abortion efforts to paint the pro-life movement as “violent extremists,” violence on behalf of abortion has always been more prevalent than commonly acknowledged. In February, the conservative Family Research Council reported that violent attacks and threats on Christian churches across the United States more than doubled from 2022 to 2023 and rose by 800 percent since 2018, with a significant portion of the most recent violence motivated by pro-abortion anger at the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Yet the federal government has been far more aggressive in prosecuting pro-lifers than their opponents.
U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) recently sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking him to explain the disparities in prosecutions related to abortion activism.

Macron Rejects Left-Wing Government
French President Emmanuel Macron has refused to accept the left-wing New Popular Front’s candidate for prime minister, saying it would be a threat to “institutional stability,”according to a communique released by the Elysee Palace on Monday.
The parliamentary election in July gave the left-wing alliance more seats in the National Assembly than the competitors, but not enough to govern, forcing the president to conduct successive rounds of talks to appoint a new prime minister and form a new government.
As president, Macron is responsible for confirming the new head of the government. However, he dismissed the idea of allowing the left-wing coalition to hold the office of prime minister, leaving the nation in a political deadlock.
“My responsibility is that the country is not blocked nor weakened,” Macron said in a statement, claiming that a left-wing government “would be immediately censored by all the other groups represented in the National Assembly” and “the institutional stability of our country therefore requires us not to choose this option.”
The parliamentary election in July left 577 seats in the National Assembly divided between the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) alliance with over 188 seats, followed by Macron’s centrist alliance at around 161, and Marine Le Pen’s National Rally at 142. The Republicans received 48 seats, while the remaining 38 were divided between minor parties.

Launched in June as a broad left-wing alliance, the NPF comprises France Unbowed (LFI), the Socialist Party, the Greens, the French Communist Party, and other political parties, composing the majority of the left wing in France.
The alliance has put forward Lucie Castets, a 37-year-old economist and director of financial affairs at Paris City Hall, as its candidate for prime minister. After Macron’s announcement, Jean-Luc Melenchon, the LFI leader, accused the president of creating an “exceptionally serious situation.”
Commenting on the move, the secretary-general of the Greens, Marine Tondelier, said the decision is “a disgrace”and “dangerous democratic irresponsibility,” adding that Macron is ignoring the election results.
LFI also called for protests to urge Macron to “respect democracy,” and said it would present a motion of impeachment of the president.
