Many leftists pin their hatred of Donald Trump on their unproven claim that he was involved with Jeffrey Epstein — but that isn’t stopping them from supporting an alleged abuser at the box office.
And BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is tired of the hypocrisy.
“They’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, we hate pedophiles. We are the party against pedophiles, and the Republicans are always protecting pedophiles. If there’s anything we hate, it’s pedophiles,’” Gonzales mocks.
“Actually, that’s historically not been the case. Has not been the case, as documented with all of these Democrats involved with Jeffrey Epstein, but also they have apparently been crawling all over each other to go watch a movie about [an alleged] renowned kiddie diddler,” she continues.
The movie is Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic, which brought in a whopping $218.8 million globally over its opening weekend and became the biggest domestic opening of all time for any biopic.
“Michael Jackson, when it comes to him, technically he was cleared in the legal system in 2005,” Gonzales says, though she isn’t buying it.
And according to a report in People magazine, Gonzales may be on to something.
The report claims that the director of the biopic allegedly made an extra $25 million to remove child sex abuse allegations.
“That’s a lot of money to pay the director and a producer to remove things from the movie if they weren’t true,” Gonzales says, pointing out that it’s not the first time allegations of abuse have been suspiciously squashed.
“You also had the documentary ‘Leaving Neverland,’ which was 2019. And the biggest accusations that came out were highlighted in this. ... But guess what? If you missed it and you want to go back to check it out, you’re not going to be able to see it because the Jackson Estate sued to remove it from the internet, just like they buried it in the movie and got paid off,” she continues. “Are you sensing the trend yet?”

Megachurch pastor ousted following Robert Morris' child sex abuse scandal starts ministry up again
Brady Boyd became the senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs in 2007 after serving six years as associate senior pastor and elder at the Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas. Elders at the church forced Boyd out last year after it became clear that he had misled his congregation about what he knew about Gateway Church founder Robert Morris' sexual abuse of a child.
Apparently betting on Coloradans to forgive and/or forget, Boyd is launching services nearby.
Background
Cindy Clemishire came forward in 2024 accusing Morris of molesting her when she was a child.
'I am qualified for ministry.'
Morris initially downplayed his interactions with Clemishire as "inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady" that was limited to "kissing and petting." Clemishire contradicted Morris, suggesting that the pastor starting abusing her when she was 12 years old and continued doing so for roughly five years.
Days after Clemishire's public accusation went viral, the church's elders announced that they had accepted Morris' resignation.
In October, several months after his indictment on child sexual battery charges, Morris pleaded guilty to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child.
Boyd could not escape the fallout from Morris' sex abuse scandal.
Boyd — who took over as senior pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs in 2007 after its former pastor, Ted Haggard, resigned over allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a male prostitute and abused methamphetamine — claimed until 2024 that he was unaware that Clemishire was 12 when Morris started molesting her, the Board of Elders of New Life Church said in a June 22, 2025, statement.

"We believe that to be inaccurate," continued the statement. "Brady also made statements in his public address to the congregation on June 8 that the Board of Elders knows to be inaccurate."
On June 8, Boyd told members of his church that he had no previous knowledge of the allegations against Morris and portrayed himself as a victim of Morris' deception. Court documents suggest, however, that he had some idea of the claims against his associate by late August 2007.
While acknowledging that "Brady had nothing at all to do with Robert Morris' past abuse," the elders claimed Boyd did mislead his flock.
"We believe that trust is the currency of leadership," wrote the Board of Elders. "When Brady recently told our congregation, inaccurately, that he was unaware of certain details regarding Morris’ past abuse, trust was broken, and we, the Board of Elders, asked Brady to resign."
Boyd did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
New life
Within weeks of his resignation, Boyd launched a donation-collecting faith-themed organization called Psalm 68 Ministries, which he said in a July 22, 2025, post would "be operating under the authority of the elders of Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, TX." Months later, he began a weekly sermon podcast.
Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
Late last month, Boyd and his wife, Pam, announced in-person services in the same commercial area of northern Colorado Springs.
"We believe we are still called to pastor in Colorado Springs. We received this mandate 18 years ago, and the calling has only grown stronger," said the announcement. "After careful prayer and discussions with trusted counselors and friends, we feel led to start a Wednesday night church service in Colorado Springs that will focus on some simple, but powerful ideas. We’ll pray together, study the Scriptures together, share the Lord’s Table, and enjoy fellowship with each other."
Boyd provided a reminder on March 11, writing, "In one week, we will gather and we cannot wait to see all of you at 6:30 at the Phil Long Music Hall."
When asked whether the new services constitute church services, Boyd told ChurchLeaders, "We are going to worship, study the scriptures, receive communion, and pray. This is not a church plant."
Responding to skepticism about whether he should continue in ministry, Boyd said, "Everyone in my trusted circle of pastors and advisers agrees wholeheartedly that I am qualified for ministry."

Trump’s prison order draws a line that reality should have drawn first
When the news broke that President Trump followed through on his promise to bar taxpayer-funded gender surgeries in federal prisons, the coverage quickly pivoted to one question: How will this affect transgender-identifying inmates?
As a former inmate — I served five years at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla — I kept thinking about the people the headlines keep skipping: the women forced to endure confinement while male inmates encroach on their privacy.
Women in prison deserve the dignity to heal without being sacrificed to an ideology.
After I did my time, I re-entered civil society and founded a nonprofit to help women build sustainable lives after prison. Not long after I got out, women still inside California’s prison system began calling me with alarming reports: Administrators were moving men into women’s prisons.
At first, I couldn’t believe it. No sane person should view placing males in a women’s prison as a “compassionate” policy. It only makes sense if you ignore what prison actually is — or if you want to impose a sinister ideology no matter who gets hurt.
Some of these males claim a female identity because women’s prisons tend to be less violent than men’s prisons. In some cases, they don’t even claim to be women. They claim to be “nonbinary” and gain admission anyway. These men do not always come with minor offenses or nonviolent histories. Some are rapists. Some are child molesters. Some committed brutal, unthinkable crimes.
For years, Bureau of Prisons policies on transgender health care moved forward with little acknowledgment of the harm they impose on incarcerated women. Women like me watched administrators apply sweeping ideological rules to an environment where the stakes involve physical safety, privacy, and survival.
Under the approach that dominated the last several years, officials treated the feelings and demands of men as more important than the safety and dignity of the women forced to live beside them.
Prison has never been, and never will be, a place for “one-size-fits-all” social experiments. Every decision inside a facility affects real human beings in extremely close quarters. Housing assignments, medical decisions, and institutional accommodations cannot follow slogans or pressure campaigns from outside groups. They must prioritize the safety and well-being of the people who live there.
Anyone who has lived inside prison understands how this plays out on the ground. Women cannot leave their cells without permission. They cannot lock their own doors. They cannot choose their cellmates. They shower under supervision, change clothes in shared spaces, and sleep just feet away from strangers. Many entered prison after surviving domestic violence, sexual assault, or trafficking.
Where is the compassion for those women — women trying to rehabilitate while they relive their trauma?
The system has told them, again and again, that their trauma doesn’t matter, their fear doesn’t matter, and their right to privacy doesn’t matter. Instead, officials tell them to prioritize the identity claims of men. Give an inch and the activists will take a mile — especially when you put men with histories of violence against women and children into living arrangements that involve showers, sleeping quarters, and constant proximity.

President Trump’s executive order barring taxpayer-funded gender surgeries in federal prisons signals a shift away from treating prisons like laboratories for social experimentation. The order supports women and supports safety.
For incarcerated women, it means they no longer have to watch men receive treatments and accommodations designed to make them “feel like a woman,” while the women themselves lose basic standards of privacy and dignity the moment they enter custody.
Incarcerated people deserve humane treatment. That includes access to medical care, mental health care, and dignity.
But dignity cannot mean denying reality.
If you’ve lived behind the walls, you know what the outside world often forgets: These policies shape the daily lives of thousands of women. Their chance at rehabilitation suffers when officials force them to live in fear, relive trauma, and navigate needless threats of real violence. Women in prison deserve the dignity to heal without being sacrificed to an ideology.
Are victims of parental abuse exempt from God’s command to honor their mother and father?
God’s command to honor your mother and father comes naturally to some people but can feel extremely difficult — or even impossible — for others, especially if they grew up in an abusive home.
But the fifth commandment isn’t caveated by any exceptions for dishonorable, difficult, or abusive parents. God requires us to honor our parents unconditionally.
For the person who seeks to uphold God’s commandments but comes from an abusive home, what does that look like? Is God requiring them to endlessly endure torment?
On this episode of “Strange Encounters,” BlazeTV host Rick Burgess addresses this difficult scenario.
After Rick published his book “Men Don’t Run in the Rain: A Son’s Reflections on Life, Faith, and an Iconic Father,” he started receiving feedback from people who couldn’t relate to his positive relationship with his father. They came from backgrounds where abuse, cruelty, or severe mental health issues were rampant in the home.
“I cannot keep allowing [my abusive mother] into my life. ... I’m much better off when we do not have a relationship,” one “Strange Encounters” listener wrote in an email to Rick.
“I want to do right by God, so I’d love a little bit of wisdom on how to move on with my life respectively and continue to be right with God,” he added.
Rick, expressing deep sympathy to those who grew up in difficult homes, says that people often mistakenly equate God’s command to honor our parents to a lifelong prison sentence where they are not permitted to distance themselves from the toxicity.
“When the Bible says to honor your mother and father, it does not mean that if your mother and father were bad people or treated you poorly, that you’re just supposed to disregard that or that somehow that’s OK because they’re your mother and father,” he corrects.
Honoring our parents, Rick explains, is less about our parents and more about our own freedom and spiritual health.
“What Scripture is talking about is not how they lived their life. It’s talking about how you, me — their children — how we live our life. It’s calling us to a high standard. It’s calling us to not repeat the mistakes that they made,” he says, encouraging people from toxic homes to “[break] that generational cycle.”
“[Demons] love bitterness, and they love to manipulate you through it. Unresolved anger, this kind of stuff, it’s damaging you. It’s not doing anything to the people you’re upset with,” he continues.
It is entirely possible, Rick argues, to physically and emotionally distance ourselves — maybe even cut off contact altogether — from our parents and still honor them simply by living honorable lives.
“We live our lives in a way that brings honor to them, whether they deserve it or not,” he says.
“I’ve got people even in my own family ... where, honestly, my life and even theirs is a lot healthier if we just don’t interact very much,” Rick admits.
“But what I have done is, I have no bitterness toward this family member. ... I have forgiven for anything that they did that hurt me, and I’ve asked them to forgive me for anything I’ve done that hurt them. But that doesn’t mean that we hang out all the time because it’s just not healthy, and that's OK.”
To those who want to uphold God’s command to honor their parents but feel that distance is the best path, Rick’s advice is simple: “Get rid of the bitterness. ... Get rid of the anger, and offer them complete forgiveness, but you’re under no obligation to continue to be manipulated by people.”
