Supporters of President participate in Jericho March in Washington, DC
Conservatives, pro-Trump supporters, and people of faith gathered in Washington recently as part of a March in support of the president. The Jericho March was held December 12th drawing large crowds to the rally. The speakers and supporters involved encouraged those at the rally and watching on live stream to continue fighting and praying for the truth to be heard.

Critics in articles following the rally called Trump supporters attending the Jericho March delusional, and conspiracy theorists who refuse to accept the election loss. One critic continued calling the belief in election fraud and use of faith to back these claims up as , “a dangerous precedent”. Supporters attending the rally say there is clear evidence of fraud and there must be investigations into evidence presented regardless of what political party a person may support. The event according to reports estimated crowds in the thousands no exact figure was officially given by organizers.
US Supreme Court rules in favor of Colorado churches
The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Colorado churches. The supreme court ruled the Colorado state government and health department could not restrict the number of people attending religious gatherings. According to Supreme Court justices who authored the dissent to the ruling, Colorado state officials did relax restrictions following the court’s ruling on churches in New York and there was not need for this ruling. The lawsuit was filed originally by High Plains Harvest Church in Ault, Colorado. Churches in that state have been restricted to 50 people since earlier this year. Eric Dreibrand one of the church’s attorneys says Colorado officials have no good reason not to trust congregants to use care in the same way they trust restaurant owners, accountants, or realtors. The ruling is also good news for Andrew Wommack ministries. The ministry was being sued by the health department in Colorado. The health department claimed Wommack violated Covid-19 restrictions by not obeying capacity limits, social distancing and the state’s indoor mask mandate. Richard Harris attorney for Andrew Wommack ministries said, “The governor finally realized that his actions were unconstitutional and rescinded those restrictions on our fundamental liberties”. The governor relaxed the restrictions on December 7th, but the state is still recommending that churches limited attendance, social distance and require masks when possible.
Cartoon Network debuts controversial ads on social media
Cartoon network is receiving criticism for its advertisements targeting children. The most recent campaign on the network’s social media account features dialogue telling children how to address different gender identities. Featured on the company’s Twitter page, the captions on the pictures show several of their popular cartoon characters asking to be addressed by their preferred pronouns. Some characters say they prefer she or her, him or he, them or they, and ze or zir (for those who are not familiar with ze or zir it is A non-gender specific pronoun used instead of “she” and “he.”) Cartoon Network released a caption with the pictures: “Here’s to not only normalizing gender pronouns, but respecting them, too. Whether you use he/she/them or something else, we acknowledge and LOVE you!” Cartoon Network also features in the caption of the artwork: “We can’t tell someone’s gender just by looking at them and shouldn’t assume we know. There are many gender identities, beyond girl or boy. Some people don’t identify as any gender.” This campaign was created in cooperation with the National Black Justice Coalition a Pro-LGBT organization. Critics say this type of advertisement towards children is indoctrination and inappropriate for young impressionable children. Most say these subjects should be reserved for parents to discuss with children due to people’s personal and religious beliefs. This is not the first time Cartoon Network has used its platform to influence children. The characters featured in the ad are from a show called Steven Universe which is known for its LGBT characters and themes. Cartoon Network has commented on the controversy.
