Michele Bachmann says Gazans eat 3,000 calories a day. They do not (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lance Wallnau claims Trump is handing local churches $1.3 trillion in frozen USAID money so Christians can buy converts. The self-described prophet pitches the workaround openly: build a charity that requires church attendance, and federal dollars follow the gospel through the door. Hemant Mehta's reporting on the Trump administration's $2 billion in faith-based grants traces where the money actually lands, from World Vision and Compassion International to Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse, wh
Christian Broadcasting Network made a war on Christmas sitcom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Janet Porter's war-on-Christmas sitcom builds a whole episode around an HOA fining her nativity scene, and none of it happens in real life.

Ralph Reed's turnout warning con
The two witness rule explained, and why it buried child abuse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jeffrey Jackson calls Jehovah's Witnesses the most moral group on earth while a Pennsylvania grand jury indicts five of them for child abuse. The two witness rule did the damage: elders demanded two eyewitnesses to an act nobody witnesses, the Old Testament passage it came from explicitly excluded gross criminal conduct, and the 1990s loosening to two victims of separate events still let accused abusers relocate to a new congregation with a clean slate.
