Read the Book of Mormon.
Cover to cover.
Pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it’s true (the final chapter provides specific guidance on this point).
Then tell me whether Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ.
Will you accept that challenge?
About 6 months ago, I felt the prompting to unsubscribe from The Daily Wire. At that time it was clear that one of the major editors has an ax to grind against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Why does this matter? When the editors oversee scripts for shows and when they knowingly pervert language to make a certain group seem absurd, weird or woke: you get Ben Shapiro reporting about a massacre at a "Mormon Temple".
Other hosts who know better won't read such drivel, but the damage is done. When your editor is possessed by the spirit of jealousy and envy, when they believe they are fighting against demons by lying about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, well you've simply traded left leaning cancel culture back for the right leaning cancel culture of the late 90s.
The culture that decried Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia as teaching children witchcraft. The culture that sought to ban Dungeons and Dragons because of demonic rituals.
This is what The Daily Wire is quickly becoming. It is no longer a bastion for facts above feelings, but is now the religious center of right wing cancel culture. Truth dies just as surely in this environment as in the woke universities.
As Ben Shapiro has said, "don't give money to people that hate you".
When Charlie Kirk was killed, I saw Mormons supporting the Christians.
When Mormons were shot and an LDS church burned down (by an Evangelical), I saw those same Christians use that tragedy to make sure people knew Mormons were not Christian.
It still bothers me.
The rewriting of history begins.
Opponents of gender ideology haven't merely 'endured unsparing criticism'. I haven't simply been told I 'betrayed real feminism' or received a few book-burning videos.
I've been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans woman posted my family's home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman. I could write a twenty thousand word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we've endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others.
By standing up to a movement that relies on threats of violence, ostracisation and guilt-by-association, all of us have been smeared and defamed, but many have lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. Female politicians have been forced to hire personal security on the advice of police. The news that one of the UK's leading endocrinologists, Dr Hillary Cass, was advised not to travel by public transport for her own safety should shame everyone who let this insanity run amok.
Lest we forget, gender apostates have been targeted for crimes such as doubting the evidential basis for transitioning children, for arguing for fair sport for women and girls, for wanting to retain single sex spaces and services, especially for the most vulnerable, and for thinking it barbaric to lock in female prisoners with convicted male sex offenders.
Now the political landscape has shifted, and some who've been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover. They've started wondering whether calling left-wing feminists who wanted all-female rape centres 'Nazis' was such a smart strategy. Maybe parents arguing that boys ought not to be robbing their daughters of sporting opportunities might, sort of, have a point? Possibly letting any man who says 'I'm a woman' into the locker room with twelve-year-old girls could have a downside, after all?
Mealy-mouthed retconning of what has actually happened over the past ten years is predictable but will not stand. I don't doubt those who've turned a blind eye to the purges of non-believers, or even applauded and encouraged them, would rather minimise what the true cost of speaking out was, but 'yes, maybe trans activists went a little over the top at times' takes are frankly insulting. A full reckoning on the effects of gender ideology on individuals, society and politics is still a long way off, but I know this: the receipts will make very ugly reading when that time comes, and there are far too many of them to sweep politely under the carpet.
We conducted an investigation to understand how 2,000 Haitian migrants suddenly arrived in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. The answer: an open conspiracy between the federal government, publicly funded NGOs, and private corporations. Here's how it works:

Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!
Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.
The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!
Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.
America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.
The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.
Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.
It sounds like a "Black Mirror" episode: a small country announces a crackdown on hate speech to seize control over the entire Internet.
Except it's not a "Black Mirror" episode. It's real life. And it's happening right now in Ireland.
The so-called "Hate Speech" bill isn't what it seems. It's not a bill about protecting the Irish people from hate crimes. It's a Trojan Horse designed to control the world's Big Tech companies — X, Facebook, Google, and YouTube.
This is a free speech emergency. We thought the legislation was dead. But the Irish government is using recent riots as an excuse to ram the legislation through before Christmas.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS NOT ABOUT IRELAND. THIS IS A TOTALITARIAN EFFORT BY GLOBAL ELITES TO CENSOR ALL OF US.
It's right there in black and white: "One of the key features of the Bill," write two attorneys with a leading Irish law firm, "is the provision for offences by corporate bodies."
https://t.co/rL6Y43XDP3
How can Big Tech companies avoid censorship?
You guessed it: by agreeing to regulation of their content by the Irish government.
"The current iteration of the Bill provides a defence for the corporate body to show that it took all reasonable steps and exercised due diligence to avoid the commission of the particular offence. Therefore, to establish and maintain such a defence, companies will need to have the appropriate processes and procedures in place."
The Irish government is almost certainly not acting alone. As my colleagues and I have reported, the demand for censorship is coming directly from the militaries, intelligence agencies, and their front groups in the US, UK, and around the world.

The intelligence communities of the Five Eyes nations of the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand have been working together to censor ordinary citizens and politicians alike for disfavored speech for the last several years.

There's no time to mince words. What governments are doing is against the law. They are violating the constitutions of the nations that the people elected them to uphold.
Because of the high level of secrecy they are using, we can't say whether or not these are "rogue" elements within governments or whether these orders are coming from heads of state.
But we do know that demands for censorship have come both directly from the US military and from heads of state of Western nations around the world.
What's happening should terrify all freedom-loving people.
We must fight back.
We will fight back.
That starts with recognizing what's going on.
Please follow @FreeSpeechIre@Ben_Scallan and other Irish free speech leaders.
Please share this post and tell friends and family what's going on.
Finally, please consider getting involved directly. We have created and personally contributed to an Emergency Free Speech Fund to get the word out:

This isn't about "hate speech." This is about out-of-control elites within the intelligence, military, and security agencies around the world who are grotesquely abusing their power in a mad bid to take control of the Internet.
If we don't stop them, this terrifying "Black Mirror" episode will become real life.
