(SRN NEWS) – A survey conducted by GBAO Strategies confirms that President Trump made big inroads with Jewish voters this year. Mr. Trump won 26 percent of Jewish votes in November. That’s up from 21 percent in 2020. Jewish voters’ opinions of the candidates’ Israel policies help explain the president’s gains. While 48 percent of Jews thought he would be more pro-Israel than President Biden, only seven percent said the same of Kamala Harris. For about a century, Jews have been a reliable piece of the Democratic base but that appears to be changing.
Despite publicly distancing himself from the conservative initiative known as Project 2025 on the campaign trail this year, President Trump is stocking his administration with people who played central roles in developing it. Mr. Trump acknowledged that drafters of the report would be part of his incoming administration during an interview with NBC News, saying that while Project 2025 will not control him, he agrees with many of its ideas. The Heritage Foundation first published the initiative back in 2022.
The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Wisconsin parents who wanted to challenge a school district’s guidance for supporting transgender students. Parents with children in Eau Claire, Wisconsin public schools argued in a lawsuit that the school district’s policy violates constitutional protections for parental rights and religious freedom. The guidance essentially calls for teachers and administrators to help children live as the opposite sex without their parents’ approval. The courts have said that the parents who brought the suit do not have standing.
Russia has adopted several new laws designed to limit the promotion of the LGBT lifestyle amongst the nation’s children and close ally Belarus is poised to follow suit. Lawmakers there are considering legislation to ban gay propaganda. While still to be worked out in Belarus, the Russian law forbids any endorsement of LGBT activities and nontraditional sexual relations. Last year, the Russian Supreme Court effectively outlawed gay activism in public, designating the “international LGBT movement” as an extremist group that poses a threat to Russia’s children.
