But should this be limited only to the proclamation of the gospel? In The Biblical Case for Cultural Engagement, Abraham Hamilton III will walk us through the Scriptures to examine the ways God has called every believer to be a cultivating force in the beliefs, pursuits, and practices of society. TEARING DOWN OUR HISTORY & OUR COUNTRY Gary Bauer, President, American Values* Cultures and societies memorialize their heroes in statues and monuments so future generations can remember and reflect on their accomplishments. In this breakout, Gary Bauer explains why the left's repeated assaults against America's history and memorials are really attacks on America itself. RACISM, PROTESTS AND “BLACK LIVES MATTER”: AN HISTORICAL AND BIBLICAL ASSESSMENT Andrew Wommack, President, Truth & Liberty Coalition*; David Barton, Founder, WallBuilders*; Bishop E.W. Jackson, Founder, S.T.A.N.D* America has been rocked by violent protests sponsored by Black Lives Matter and Antifa. In this breakout, Truth and Liberty Coalition President, Andrew Wommack, leads a discussion with David Barton (founder of WallBuilders) and Bishop E.W. Jackson (founder S.T.A.N.D.). Together, they will address racism, “Black Lives Matter,” Antifa, the violent protests, and the un-American ideologies that are fueling the conflict.

In China, Nigeria, and countless other countries, Christians and others face hostility and danger simply due to their faith. In this breakout session, top U.S. officials and victims of religious persecution from around the world will explore current challenges to international religious freedom and the importance of promoting the freedom to believe for all people. HOW THE SUPREME COURT AND THE CORONAVIRUS ARE CHANGING THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION Joseph Backholm, Senior Fellow for Biblical Worldview and Strategic Engagement FRC*; Corey DeAngelis, Director of School Choice, Reason Foundation*; Bethany Mandel, Editor, Ricochet.com, Columnist, the Forward*; Cathy Ruse, Senior Fellow, FRC* Education in America is changing quickly and that's good.

INTERNATIONAL, FEDERAL, AND STATE INITIATIVES: EFFORTS TO SEXUALIZE CHILDREN THROUGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM Ryan T. Anderson, William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow in American Principles and Public Policy, DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, The Heritage Foundation*; Andrew Beckwith, President, Massachusetts Family Institute*; Emilie Kao, Director, DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, The Heritage Foundation*; Sharon Slater, President, Family Watch International* Join experts Ryan Anderson of The Heritage Foundation, Sharon Slater of Family Watch International, and Andrew Beckwith of the Massachusetts Family Institute as they discuss the attempts to sexualize children through their school’s curriculum and share concrete ways you can fight back to protect children. USHERING IN A NEW DECADE OF PRO-LIFE POLICIES Connor Semelsberger, Legislative Assistant for Pro-Life Issues, FRC*; Hope Hoffman, Dilation and Curettage Abortion Survivor*; Josiah Presley, Curettage Abortion Survivor*; Patricia Rucker, State Senator (R-W.Va.) * Recent opposition to common sense abortion restrictions like protections for abortions survivors and prohibiting taxpayer funding for abortion makes the next 10 years a critical moment to advance pro-life efforts. This panel will highlight the key pro-life issues facing our country today and how activists and legislators can be the difference in making America a pro-life nation. THE TRANSGENDER MOVEMENT: INDOCTRINATING AND STERILIZING CHILDREN Erin Brewer, Co-founder, The Compassion Coalition, Author, and Speaker*; Dr. André Van Mol, Co-Chair of American College of Pediatrician’s Committee, Adolescent Sexuality*; Brandon Showalter, Journalist, The Christian Post*; Dr. Abigail Shrier, Writer and Author*; Peter Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies, FRC* The impact of the transgender movement on adults—such as punishing those unwilling to affirm the falsehood that a man can become a woman or vice versa—is serious. However, the impact on children and adolescents is truly alarming. From indoctrination through “Drag Queen Story Hours” to invasion of privacy in locker rooms and showers to the destruction of girls’ sports to the actual sterilization of vulnerable children, this panel will examine how the transgender movement threatens the well-being of children who have “gender dysphoria” and children who don’t. .

These sanctions will dent the confidence in the Turkish economy, at the very least. If the US authorities decide to ramp up sanctions in line with President Donald Trump pledges to do so in case of not releasing Brunson, Turkey may incur more economic losses. Under US threats, Turkey will probably be forced to cave in to US demands, particularly at a time when its economy is experiencing many difficulties, most notably the downward spiral of the lira against hard currencies.Numerous Indicators Tension between Turkey and the US runs high, as evident in several indicators, chiefly the following:1- New sanctions: The US has recently stepped up its pressure on Turkey to release pastor Andrew Brunson. The US administration imposed on August 1, sanctions against Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul and Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu after accusing them of playing roles in Brunson¶s arrest.According to several estimates, the US sanctions are expected to extend to other Turkish entities and companies, following president Trump's pledges to tighten the screws on Turkey if the pastor is not released. The US administration has already followed the same approach in February, after Turkey announced its intention to buy S-400, the Russian missile defense system.2- Imprisoning Turkish officials: The case of accusing Turkish bank Halkbank of conspiring in breaching US sanctions on Iran in 2012, was one of the factors for tension between Washington and Ankara.

  • Sanctions on Turkey: Reconciling Washington’S Diverging Views by Soner Cagaptay
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 2975 Sanctions on Turkey: Reconciling Washington’s Diverging Views by Soner Cagaptay Jun 1, 2018 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Soner Cagaptay Soner Cagaptay is the Beyer Family fellow and director of the Turkish Research Program at The Washington Institute. Brief Analysis Despite the deep-seated problems roiling the bilateral relationship, U.S. legislators need to understand the potentially dire geopolitical consequences of putting heavy pressure on a fellow NATO member. n June 4, Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu will visit Washington to meet with Secretary of State O Mike Pompeo. The trip comes at a critical time for the U.S.-Turkish relationship, with bilateral ties facing their deepest crisis since the Cyprus war of 1974. That conflict ended with a damaging American arms embargo against Ankara—the relationship suffered severely and did not fully normalize for nearly half a decade, setting the precedent for another breakdown if the two countries do not find a way to close their widening gaps on present-day issues. UNBRIDGEABLE DIFFERENCES? C urrently, multiple factors are undermining the bilateral relationship, including: Turkish demands for the extradition of Fethullah Gulen , a U.S.-based cleric whose followers in the Turkish military seem to have played a significant role in the failed 2016 coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The U.S. tactical alliance with the People’s Defense Units (YPG). This Syrian Kurdish group is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), recognized as a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States, and NATO. But with President Trump determined not to commit further ground troops to Syria, Washington will continue to rely on the YPG to contain the Islamic State.

  • Presidential Book Reviews: the Republicans
    (12-13-99) PRESIDENTIAL BOOK REVIEWS: THE REPUBLICANS (Special for The Anniston Star) By Glen Browder There is no excuse, a year before the 2000 elections, for any American citizen to complain about not knowing anything about the politicians who want to be the next President of the United States. By my rough count, there are well over a hundred books currently available that have been written by or about the dozen or so announced, hopeful, and rumored presidential candidates (excluding Warren Beatty, Cybill Shepherd, and the rest of the Hollywood crowd that’s threatening to run). And new tomes about even more possible chief executives are coming out early next year. Democratic candidates account for 36 books, Republicans have 29 publications, and there’s a slew of third party and independent possibilities in our “White House Wannabe Library”, which I define as anything—whether autobiographical or biographical, political or non-political, legitimate or trashy—dealing with the lives of potential Presidents. Democratic Vice-President Al Gore has twenty-something entries in the Wannabe Library; on the Republican side, Texas Governor George W. Bush leads with seven. My assignment in this review is to comment on the autobiographical or authorized books by the Republican candidates; someone else is handling the Democrats. (For the record: I’m a Democrat; I’ve served in Washington with several of the candidates of both parties; I have my own preferences. But I have not and am not endorsing anybody.) Therefore I will focus on Governor Bush, Senator John McCain, publisher Steve Forbes, former Reagan official Gary Bauer, and former U.N.

  • The US-Turkey Diplomatic Crisis
    The US-Turkey Diplomatic Crisis by Burak Bekdil BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 938, September 3, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The present Turkish-American diplomatic crisis is fundamentally different from other such crises in 1964 or 1975. Turkish public sentiment in the 1960s and 1970s was largely pro-American (and anti- Soviet). Today, 79% of Turks have an unfavorable opinion of the US. Also, the earlier Turkish-American crises were largely single-case issues whereas the current one is multi-dimensional – and more difficult to resolve. Officially speaking, Turkey and the US are NATO allies and strategic partners. These days their relationship looks like anything but an alliance or a partnership. This has not happened overnight. In 1964, US President Lyndon Johnson cautioned Turkey against rash military moves it might be planning in Cyprus. The famous “Johnson letter” prompted Turkish PM Ismet Inönü to convene his cabinet in emergency session. That was the first serious crack between America and its southeast European ally, a country that guarded one of the West’s Soviet frontiers. The Johnson letter was also the first incident to spark (largely left-wing) anti-Americanism in Turkey. President Johnson’s warning may have played a role in keeping the Turkish military at its barracks while inter-communal strife on Cyprus worsened in the late 1960s. But in 1974, the Turkish army invaded the northern third of the island in response to a short-lived coup aimed at annexing Cyprus to Greece. In 1975, a Congressional arms embargo on Turkey was instituted – despite objections from the Ford administration – after Ankara refused to relinquish any of the territory it had seized the year before.

  • Bush and Cocaine Use: the Public Ho-Hums It
    ABC NEWS POLL: BUSH and COCAINE – 8/22/99 EMBARGOED FOR USE AFTER 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 23, 1999 Bush and Cocaine Use: The Public Ho-Hums it Vast majorities of Americans say it wouldn’t affect their vote if George W. Bush did use cocaine – or even if he just won’t say. And most would be content never to know. Fifty-three percent in an ABC News poll say Bush should not answer the question; 41 percent say he should. Nearly eight in 10, moreover, say it wouldn’t effect their vote if he refused to answer; and even more say it wouldn’t matter to them if he used the drug. Bush thus looks to be clearing this hurdle comfortably. Just nine percent would be “much less likely” to support him if he doesn’t answer, and six percent “much less likely” if he did take the drug. These tend to be people who don’t support him anyway. RESPONSIBILITY – Still, there is at least some potential hazard in Bush’s admission of a “young and irresponsible” phase in his life. It would cost him a few points in support if those “much less likely” voters did turn away from him – not much given his current big lead, but potentially significant in a tight race. Moreover, an irresponsible phase is not necessarily in the common experience: Nearly nine in 10 Americans over age 30 say they personally were “mature and responsible” in their late 20s, not young and irresponsible. And cocaine use, of course, is outside the practice of the vast majority.
