Grace and Truth: Navigating Conversion Therapy and a Client’s Faith-Based Rights

Source: Townhall
by Dr. Eric Scalise

“Counseling, by its very nature, is value-laden, and the process and results are greatly influenced by both the therapist’s and the client’s worldview. One critical question that must be asked is what to do when there appears to be a conflict of values related to the therapeutic process. How should a treatment provider respond if a client seeks therapy because his or her behavior is incongruent with their deeply held spiritual or religious values, and those values appear to take precedent above all others? Which set of values is more valid? Should the client have the autonomy to make that decision? The ethical answer to the last question is an unequivocal ‘Yes!'” (04/19/26)

Trump ally diGenova tapped to lead DOJ probe into Brennan over Russia probe origins

Source: Fox News

“The Justice Department is turning to former Trump attorney Joeseph diGenova to spearhead a probe into ex-CIA Director John Brennan and others over the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, as the department reshuffles leadership of the sprawling inquiry. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has tapped diGenova to serve as counsel overseeing the matter, according to a New York Times report, putting a former Trump attorney in a key role in the high-profile probe. A federal grand jury seated in Miami has been impaneled since late last year. … DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., who represented Trump during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, has repeatedly accused Brennan of misconduct tied to the origins of the Russia probe — allegations that have not resulted in criminal charges.” (04/19/26)

Conspiracy in the White House

“What could be more presidential than Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats? Millions of people, threatened by economic collapse and endangered by world war, huddled around their radios to hear the avuncular FDR speak plain, reassuring words that Americans could rise together and conquer the nation’s challenges. That’s the way FDR’s leadership is remembered, anyway. Forgotten is the way Roosevelt used his radio addresses to spin conspiracy theories.” (04/17/26)

Most Young Australians Successfully Evade the Country’s Social Media Ban

by JD Tuccille

“Among the great many bogeymen of the current moment is social media, which stands accused of making young people anxious and unhappy. Whatever the merits of those charges — and they’re debatable — politicians have predictably tried to address concerns by applying the blunt instrument of coercive law to kids’ online activities rather than simply let parents help their children make better choices. The experience in Australia now shows the subjects of the law have, once again, proven cleverer than law enforcers.” (04/17/26)

“A judge has granted the makers of the ‘ICE Sightings — Chicagoland’ Facebook group and the Eyes Up app a preliminary injunction to stop the Trump administration from coercing platforms to take these projects down. Judge Jorge L. Alonso of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois found that the plaintiffs, Kassandra Rosado and Kreisau Group, are likely to succeed in their case, which alleges that the government suppressed protected speech under the First Amendment by strong-arming Facebook and Apple into removing ICE monitoring efforts.” (04/18/26)
