Real-world witches are upset at President Trump’s use of the phrase “witch hunt,” which he often tweets in reference to the Mueller investigation. 

David Salisbury, author of the book Witchcraft Activism, calls use of the term “really disgraceful.”

“Thousands of people were executed in Europe on suspicion of witchcraft,” Salisbury told CNN, which ran a tongue-in-cheek segment by Jeanne Moos on the subject. Salisbury is initiated into Wicca, which is considered a religion.

“A total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!” Trump Tweeted in early 2018.

One unidentified witch told CNN, “There’s a lot to be offended by by Donald Trump. … His use of the term ‘witch hunt’ is very low on that list of priorities for most witches. But nevertheless, it does demonstrate his ignorance, as usual.” 

Salisbury said witches are divided on Trump’s terminology. 

“Many are mad, and the rest are rolling their eyes,” he told The Daily Beast. 

One of those who is upset is witch and author Kitty Randall.

“To have him compare his situation to the worst period in our history is just infuriating,” Randall told The Daily…

Evangelist Franklin Graham was banned from Facebook last week over a post he wrote two years ago and now Facebook is apologizing. 

The evangelist took to Facebook on Friday to disclose to his followers that he had been banned from Facebook for 24 hours after Facebook determined that a 2016 post about the North Carolina House Bill 2 – the bathroom bill – violated community standards. 

He wrote, “Well, now we know. Facebook has a secret rulebook for policing speech. I was banned from posting on Facebook last week for 24 hours. Why? Because of a post from back in 2016 about North Carolina’s House Bill 2 (the bathroom bill).”

Graham noted that Facebook deemed that the post contained “hate speech.” 

The evangelist then posted a copy of the 2016 post to his Facebook page and asked, “Do you see any hate speech here?” 

The post read, “Bruce Springsteen, a long-time gay rights activist, has cancelled his North Carolina concert. He says the NC law #HB2 to prevent men from being able to use women’s restrooms and locker rooms is going ‘backwards instead of forwards.’ Well, to be honest, we need to go back! Back to God. Back to respecting and honoring His commands. Back to common sense.” 

It continued, “Mr. Springsteen, a nation embracing sin and bowing at the feet of godless secularism and political correctness is not progress. I’m…

More and more Christian parents are pulling their kids from the Boy Scouts of America in exchange for a faith-based organization, CBN News reports. 

According to the outlet, many Christian parents who do not agree with the new secular policies of BSA are pulling their kids out of the century-old scouting organization and opting for Trail Life USA, a faith-based alternative. 

Since the BSA policy change in 2015 that allowed gay adults to lead boy scout troops and the 2017 decision to allow girls and transgender boys to join troops, many Christian parents have moved away from the organization that once emphasized the importance of a nuclear family. 

According to World, Trail Life, which was founded in 2014, has seen significant growth since these decisions were made. The outlet reports that the organization now has over 27,000 members and around 800 troops across all 50 states.

CBN News reports that policy changes also seemingly led the Boy Scouts to lose 425,000 members.

Trail Life CEO Mark Hancock offered World a reason for the Boy Scout’s decline in membership noting that the organization had lost their moral compass. He told the outlet, “Any organization that takes steps that appear to indicate they’ve forgotten who they are and who they serve is in danger of losing their way.”

Trail Life USA, he argued, has its moral compass pointing toward…
