AN 9 25
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1920 — 105 years ago — and generations that came along after that, from the Silent Generation to Millennials, grew up assuming that women's suffrage was settled law. Even many critics of feminism agreed that the 19th Amendment was a good idea.
But The Guardian's Arwa Mahdawi, in her September 13 column, describes a growing trend: more and more MAGA Republicans and white fundamentalist Christian nationalists openly questioning the 19th Amendment.
"Should women in the U.S. have the right to vote?," Mahdawi writes. "You'd be forgiven for assuming this particular issue was sorted out quite a long time ago. But, because we live in hell, it seems the question is once again up for debate…. First up is Braeden Sorbo, a 24-year-old conservative influencer."

Sorbo told YouTuber Richard Harris (who hosts the "Truth & Liberty" show), "I know more young women today who say they wish they didn't ever get the right to vote than I’ve ever talked to in my life."
"In a normal world," Mahdawi warns, "Sorbo would be a fringe figure shouting into the ether who we could all happily ignore. But thanks in part to digital media, we don't have that luxury any more. Sorbo has 1.9 million followers on TikTok…. More importantly, however, Sorbo's views can no longer be dismissed as 'fringe'…. Last month, for example, the U.S. defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, shared a video on X in which several pastors say women should no longer be allowed to vote as individuals…. Predictably, Elon Musk also has some views on this matter."
Mahdawi adds, "While the tech billionaire — soon to be trillionaire? — has never explicitly argued women shouldn't vote, he has amplified tweets that undermine the idea of universal suffrage."
According to Mahdawi, "The idea that women shouldn’t vote is increasingly being co-signed and amplified by some of the most powerful people in America."

An anti-feminist YouTuber who openly says that women should not have the right to vote is Hannah Pearl Davis, whose YouTube channel has over 2 million subscribers.
Mahdawi's column and Sorbo's recent comments are drawing a lot of reactions on X, formerly Twitter.
Writer John Ashton posted, "The Handmaid’s Tale is the bible of MAGA."
Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson wrote, "This is so disgusting [and] especially horrifying because it’s the younger generation promoting this crap. I said we were moving towards the [Handmaid's Tale] last November. I hope I’m wrong."
X user Peter A. Patriot commented, "Republican women are admitting they don't think they should have the right to vote. It's sad."

Braeden Sorbo Declares That Women Should Not Have The Right To Vote | People For 925
TDB REF
A cavalcade of supporting characters in the MAGA universe, and President-elect Donald Trump, showed up at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday to attend a soirée for the conspiratorial, QAnon-adjacent conservative nonprofit America’s Future.
Mel Gibson, the traditionalist Catholic actor and director, told the crowd, “I got nine kids. If one of them got stolen or trafficked, I’d have to kill someone.”
That chimes with the kind of themes promoted by the group’s chairman, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who has remade America’s Future in his own image. Since his appointment in 2021, the formerly meat-and-potatoes conservative group has shifted to promoting QAnon-adjacent conspiracy theories about a clandestine cabal of pedophiles controlling media and government.
Last year, Gibson executive produced Sound of Freedom, a Christian thriller starring QAnon conspiracist Jim Caviezel that stoked QAnon paranoia. He praised Flynn for exposing “wolves in sheep’s clothing that prey upon our young” during Tuesday night’s speech at Trump’s club.
In addition to Gibson—who arrived in a polo shirt, shorts, and Crocs before changing into a more appropriate suit and tie—other attendees included British comedian turned conspiracy theorist Russell Brand, car dealership fortune heir turned working-class poseur Kid Rock, Fox News outcast Tucker Carlson, and former Trump adviser Roger Stone.
Trump was listed as an “invited honored guest” and was seen alongside Flynn before he briefly addressed attendees outside, accompanied by Flynn, Carlson, and Kid Rock, who he called “great people.”
Carlson and Kid Rock, née Robert Ritchie, were given “Champion for Freedom” awards by Flynn.
Carlson once called QAnon supporters—who believe a cabal of clandestine, Satanic child molesters are working against Trump—“gentle people waving American flags.” America’s Future, under the professed mandate of combatting human trafficking, has promoted similar conspiracies.
“They have organ harvesting,” says Flynn’s sister, Mary O’Neill, who was appointed executive director after he became chairman, in a video on their site. “They have also found a way to take the blood, and use the blood, to make themselves youthful.”
One attendee, who posed with Stone, commented on Instagram that they saw one-time television actor turned COVID and election denier Kevin Sorbo, who has been known to frequent Mar-a-Lago.
But the biggest name on hand, after Trump, was the pope-denying Gibson.
He called the Biden administration “four years of thinly veiled Marxism” and the incoming Trump administration as “a four year grace period,” adding “we’ll see how much this administration can claw back from the Philistines.”

Conservatives’ favorite Hollywood couple, Kevin and Sam Sorbo, were on hand. Sam Sorbo portrayed the COVID-19 pandemic-related closure of schools as an opportunity for pastors to encourage parents to homeschool and avoid the “nefarious force” at work in “government schools”:
Nefarious forces in our government schools teach children disdain for their parents’ beliefs and disgust for our country, programming them to question their own biology, obey authority, and despise themselves—to believe that they are accidents of nature and that survival of the fittest is the law of the land. This is child abuse. Looting, rioting, and self-destruction are the natural byproducts of atheism, hedonism, and abortion—survival of the fittest. The ideological anti-God virus that now controls most of our public education institutions is a disease of the mind that no vaccine can ever cure. We declare the conflict of interest of a government that teaches its citizens to worship it instead of their God.

Inside the Mar-a-Lago Premiere of 'Police State': 'We're Already in One'
Trump wasn't at Mar-a-Lago for a red-carpet movie premiere Wednesday night, but his presence was felt — and celebrated — by around 500 conservative influencers, media personalities and politicians who partied at the former president's Florida home without him.
The premiere was for Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, Police State, about allegedly normal, harmless Americans who say they've been arrested, harassed or censored by various branches of the U.S. government.
While not there, Trump posted online his support for the film and midway through the party D'Souza read the message aloud to guests. The movie exposes "the witch hunt that the deep state has against me. And the police state is coming for you," Trump wrote.
D'Souza also alluded to a civil trial where Trump is accused of exaggerating the value of his assets, including Mar-a-Lago, which Trump said was worth more than $1 billion while a judge has said it's value is between $18 million-$27 million.
"It's hard to believe this place is worth only $18 million," D'Souza told the assembled in a large hall near the swimming pool.
"Maybe some of us should buy it; sell it for $400 million and use the profits to buy Fox News," he joked to laughter and applause.
:{From left, Dinesh D'Souza speaks alongside Debbie D'Souza and Dan and Paula Bongino at the premiere of "Police State" at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club and estate on November 1, 2023. The film is about allegedly normal, harmless Americans who say they've been arrested, harassed or censored by various branches of the U.S. government.
While progressives typically dismiss D'Souza's work as conspiratorial, a Rasmussen poll in September found that 72 percent of voters are worried that the U.S. is becoming a police state, which the poll described as a tyrannical government that engages in mass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination and targeting of political opponents.
What Americans fail to agree on is from which side of the aisle the threat comes from. D'Souza's film tries to make the case it is mainly from the left, though he does criticize a few Republicans — most notably former President George W. Bush — for their alleged contributions.
Progressives also often discount D'Souza's movies because he pleaded guilty in 2014 to enlisting the help of a straw donor so that he could give more money than was allowed by law to a Senate candidate.
After D'Souza served his sentence, Trump pardoned him, and D'Souza briefly revisits the episode in his movie.
While Rotten Tomatoes gives the movie an 82 percent audience score at time of publishing, a critic at the progressive outlet, Mother Jones, calls it the work of "far-right fringe characters" and laments: "None of the alleged victims in Police State are innocent people like George Floyd or Breonna Taylor, who literally died at the hands of overzealous cops."
But at Wednesday's premiere, the movie earned a standing ovation.
Off to the sidelines, D'Souza told Newsweek that he has run into several odd problems in the distribution and marketing of the film, which he says has thus far played for two nights at mostly sold-out theaters, raking in about $1.5 million.
Most notably, he accused the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury of "intercepting" a $106,000 payment to Salem Media to purchase ads for the movie.
"We now have to retrieve our funds, and it's going to be a hassle," he said.
Newsweek has reached out to the Treasury Department and will update this story should it respond.
Newsweek reviewed documentation indicating that the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has held up funds D'Souza attempted to wire to Salem for the purpose of advertising.
OFAC's stated mission is to enforce trade sanctions based on national security goals that include terrorist threats, weapons of mass destruction and narcotics traffickers.
"Why would they intercept our domestic wire? They can't seize our money and pretend there is some legitimate government purpose for doing it," D'Souza said.
D'Souza, a former adviser to President Ronald Reagan, is the right's most successful producer of conservative documentaries. In 2012, his debut movie, 2016: Obama's America, scored $33 million at the box office, enough to become the second most popular political documentary of all time, after Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.
Partners in the film include YouTube competitor Rumble, which is streaming the movie, and talk-radio host Dan Bongino.
Ahead of the film, Bongino motioned toward Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski and said: "His idea was to create a free speech, free idea platform...Make no mistake — this guy's got a lot of guts."
U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake told Newsweek: "We are living in a police state. It's pretty apparent. Look at January 6 and the two tiers of justice. Our rights are slipping away and more people are waking up to it."

D'Souza said that authorities who claimed to be saving democracy, upholding the rule of law, fighting misinformation and saving lives with COVID restrictions have abused their power.
A police state is "coming to us in disguise. It's coming to us marching behind the slogans of virtue," he said. "The task of this film is to strip away the facade."
When D'Souza introduced the families of some of those who were arrested during the January 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol, the crowd applauded.
Will Pope, who attended the premiere and the riots, and has been charged with several crimes associated with the latter, told Newsweek: "Nobody there that day was trying to overthrow the government. Most are normal people who don't mean you any harm, and they love America."
Actor Kevin Sorbo, who played TV's Hercules in the 1980s and stars mostly in faith-based films like God's Not Dead nowadays, told Newsweek: "Free speech has been disappearing quickly. That's the truth, but the truth is kryptonite to Hollywood and to Washington, D.C."

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is facing charges in Fulton County, Georgia, that allege he tried to subvert the will of voters in 2020, similar to charges against Trump, told Newsweek that the mainstream media is biased against conservatives.
"The coverage is consistent with the country. A large percentage of it, through Biden, is becoming fascist," he said. "The coverage is despicable, disgraceful, unpatriotic and, at times, supportive of criminal conspiracies, and I include Newsweek."
Fox News personality Leo Terrell, who switched from liberal to conservative in 2016, told Newsweek that Police State is a timely movie for all Americans, but added: "Liberals won't watch it, but they should."
Actor Nick Searcy, who plays a composite FBI character in Police State, was at the January 6 riots and made a documentary about it, dubbed Capitol Punishment. He told Newsweek that he's working on a sequel.
"The suppression of free speech should concern both sides. The intimidation of everyday Americans can happen to anyone," he said.

newsmax waKE UP AM
LISON MALONI (HOST): Some parents leaning into this issue say they feel equity means offering more opportunities, not taking away others for advanced education and study. I have kids in school honors classes, I know are really important for them, not only because it helps them get ready for college, but it helps them get into college as well. What do you make of this?
SAM SORBO (GUEST): Well, it's funny that they lead with, we don't want to take anything away from other kids, and they're taking away the honors classes. Like, that's just ridiculous. But, you know, my viewpoint is very clear that schools are the system ofslaverythat the government has instituted, and people arguing with the schools are, basically, arguing with the master.And the schools are not interested in training -- in teaching children, they're only interested in training them to be good workers, which is, you know, that we are under this society now. I advocate for parents just to pull your kids out of school and you'll find that learning happens organically rather than being coerced, as they do in schools.
MALONI: Daneen, some schools are struggling to reach thesepre-pandemic level test scores. Baltimore seeing only 22% of students grades three through eight reach proficiency and math. Shouldn't this be of higher concern to these schools?
DENEEN BORELLI (NEWSMAX CONTRIBUTOR):As a former board member with a charter school in Harlem, New York, I got to say this really ticks me off. I find this to be awar against our children. And, unfortunately, these schools and these teachers and administrators have gone woke. They're more concerned about sexualizing children and sex change procedures than the educational needs of children.The power should be in the hands of the parents. Not all teachers are bad. I have teachers in my family. They love their job. They love what they do and they want to see these children succeed. But, unfortunately, there are too many kids being set up for failure in our country.
MALONI: Yeah, I think you're so right. And then if you speak up as a parent, you're called a domestic terrorist. Sam, how has the focus in schools grown to things -- you know, just far from education. Our children -- it used to be reading, writing, and arithmetic. And now, as Deneen mentioned, it is all changed. And, you know, the fact that they want to take honors classes out because what they think is a good reason. It doesn't make sense as a parent.
SORBO: You know, it's ridiculous because we still labor under the idea that schools are beneficial. They're not. They're detrimental to children. They are against children. And we can see it right now. We can see with all of thenewfangled non-educational things that they are putting into the schoolsthat their interest is not in the favor of your child. They want to have sex with your children. They want to destroy your children. And the idea that you are now in enslaved to this mentality of, well, I have to put my child in school proves the point that it is a slave system.Take your children out of school. And if you're very concerned about their education, that's what I train on. I have my playbook for home learning which I teach parents what they ought to be looking for for the education of their children. They will not find it in our schools, unfortunately.

As parents increasingly noticegovernment schools indoctrinate children with secular or progressive values, more families are exploring homeschooling as “a freedom initiative” to maintain control over values and beliefs.
Sam Sorbo is a passionate, dedicated homeschooling mom of three and talk radio host. Often on Fox News, Sorbo is an actress, former model and biomedical engineer from Duke University, who is married to actor Kevin Sorbo of “Hercules” fame. She is also the author of recent book “They’re Your Kids.”
Mandated government schools are failing us, she argues, and are doing more harm than good. It is time for parents to act. Sorbo wants more parents to find the joys of homeschooling their own children out of an abundance of caution for what the school system is doing wrong.
Sorbo says the head of the United Federation of Teachers, Michael Mulgrew, was “bullying” when he stated, “I will punch you in the face and shove you on the ground if you try to take away my Common Core” to teacher applause.
:{
Sorbo also talks about the national discussion on transgender bathrooms forced by the federal government, and reminds us the perversion prescribed for public schools is stated as acommunist goal in the Congressional Record.}:
Sorbo wants parents to “be a hero to your kids.” She realized how beneficial homeschooling was when she tried it while her husband was on a movie shoot, according to this video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation. She, like other parents, overcame self-doubt and realized “our self-doubt has been instilled in us by the school system.”

Her book starts with a Bertrand Russell quote about public schools being a means of destroying students’ free will, preparing them for servitude.Many students, instead of learning the U.S. Constitution protects God-given natural rights, she says, are learning about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as conceived by the United Nations in 1948.
Sorbo is “offended” by the Republican Congress, the “wet noodle party,” as they do not confront the fundamental transformation of the nation. Referring to the Republicans, she says, “no conflict means capitulation” in her book.
She ends the video interview with what gives her hope in our times.
For more on Sam Sorbo, go to her website, buy her book, listen to her radio show or follow her on Facebook or Twitter @thesamsorboshow. She was also recently interviewed on Varney & Co. You should watch for a coming faith-informed movie she co-wrote and acts in called “Let There Be Light.”
