A Faith and Public Policy Ministry
(The Federalist) Over four years after the 2020 election was “rigged,” President Donald Trump issued an executive order to bolster election integrity. “Despite pioneering self-government, the United States now fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections employed by modern, developed nations, as well as those still developing,” the order states. “Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors,
(Townhall) If an investment yields stagnant or negative returns despite increased funding, the rational thing to do is back off. This logic rarely applies in government, but we’re in a unique moment. The U.S. Department of Education — which has long exemplified the sunk-cost fallacy with past investments motivating continued spending — faces possible closure as the Trump admnistration pushes
(PJ Media) The world is always telling you to “follow your heart.” Countless ads, rom-coms, and bestselling memoirs show us the great things that supposedly await if we follow our hearts. What the world doesn’t tell you is that following your heart isn’t necessarily as innocent as changing the color of your hair, splurging on ice cream, or asking that
(Washington Stand) Last week, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, a Biden appointee, halted President Trump’s policy that prohibits transgender individuals from serving in the military. To understand the significance of this ruling, we need to look at the policy’s origins and the reasons behind it. Transgender-identifying individuals were never allowed to serve in the military until former President Obama
(Townhall) It’s evil rarely seen. Last month, over 70 Christians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) were bound, marched into a church, and beheaded. Local church leaders are devastated: “We don’t know what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres.” This method of execution was intentional, designed to put terror in the hearts of Christians in the
(Harbinger’s Daily) Spiritually, a significant foreseeable consequence of AI systems like large language models (LLM) is that humans may easily be tempted to begin looking to them as the final authority for truth. Because of their astounding capabilities to rapidly synthesize knowledge from across the internet, LLMs might seem “all-knowing.” We may begin looking to AI as the ultimate, unquestionable
(Harbinger’s Daily) Despite historic levels of public opposition, Illinois lawmakers advanced controversial legislation attacking homeschoolers and private schools that could lead to the jailing of home-educating parents and even the removal of children from their homes. Massive pushback is already underway. The controversial bill, HB2827, also known as The Homeschool Act, was approved this week by the Illinois House of Representatives’
(The Federalist) In 2024, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proudly made California the first state to offer medical care for people who entered the country illegally and reside in the Golden State. However, the cost, estimated at almost $8 billion, is being paid by all taxpayers, not just Californians. Do people in Texas, North Carolina, and hyper-taxed Illinois want to fund California’s 700,000 illegal
(The Federalist) Only 10 days into President Donald Trump’s second term it’s abundantly clear that Christians who opposed his presence in the White House and condemned their brethren for supporting it have some repenting to do. Never Trumpers spent the last decade weaponizing their faith to demonize Christian Trump supporters. By the time the 2024 election rolled around, they had
(Life News) Vice President JD Vance delivered his inaugural public address at the 52nd annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. today. In his speech, Vance celebrated the pro-life movement’s recent achievements, notably the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. He praised President Donald Trump’s role in appointing pro-life judges and pardoning two dozen pro-life activists
