(The Federalist) TAPACHULA, Mexico – A tip led me to 40 kilometers north of this down-at-heel border city, by rental car, until I spotted the unmistakable sight: a 1,000-strong caravan of migrants marching by foot along Mexico Highway 200 for hundreds of yards. Men, women, children, and babies bobbed and weaved together in an elongated, colorful human pack. I spent
(Life News) Is religious freedom more secure in America today than ever before? Many Christians observing our increasingly secular culture would balk at the claim, but it’s exactly what New York Times opinion columnist and longtime religious freedom advocate David French thinks.

(Harbinger’s Daily) With the election mere weeks away, California Pastor Jack Hibbs did something rarely seen behind most pulpits in 2024—he issued an urgent call for Christians to vote. Hibbs’ message on Sunday, titled “When Christians Fail to Vote,” sought to be a wake-up call to the ramifications of the church sitting out the election—challenging both the pulpits and the
(Washington Stand) Political campaigns all too often come down to one memorable moment: Nixon’s debate with JFK, Reagan asking if Americans are better off today than four years ago, Bush promising “no new taxes,” or Trump descending a golden escalator.

(Faith & Freedom) In a sign of either hope or desperation, Portland, Oregon, voters decided to abolish their entire government structure and replace it with a weaker mayor, expanded City Council, and ranked-choice voting. Secular progressivism has been Portland’s pride, but now the city is in chaos, with 19 people running for mayor and 98 people seeking seats on the
(Washington Stand) A majority of practicing Christians, including pastors, admit to viewing pornography and a large share say they are comfortable with the habit, a new study has found. In Barna’s recently released researched report, Beyond the Porn Phenomenon, produced in partnership with Pure Desire Ministries, researchers found that pornography use is so prevalent among all demographics and the gap in use
(Life News) During Kamala Harris’s interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson on Tuesday evening, the subject of abortion came up. Unsurprisingly, Harris came out in strongly favor of legal abortion. She criticized President Trump’s Supreme Court appointees and said we need to “restore the protections of Roe v. Wade.” However, when asked if she would be willing to make
(Washington Stand) Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who serves as the medical director for the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, has been conducting research on “transgender health” for nearly a decade as part of a larger federal project.
