(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

(Harbinger’s Daily) Public schools in America allow Planned Parenthood access to the youngest of children in order to push their hyper-sexual, destructive agenda. They justify perversion and deceptively use terms like health, science, and “age appropriate;” and with the help of tax dollars, they have exposed kids to pornography, homosexuality, sexual experimentation and of course, abortion as they normalize unrestrained

(Washington Stand) Last week began in the Capitol Rotunda with President Donald Trump taking the oath of office to become the 47th president of the United States. Over on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid — offering color commentary — lamented the occasion and asked, “How is this happening in America?” I found that question a bit amusing, not out

(PJ Media) In 2022, states received $189 billion in funding for primary and secondary schools. The funding was supposed to go to programs that would allow kids to make up for the lost learning they were forced to experience during the pandemic. Standardized test scores had fallen to levels not seen in forty years or more. The infusion of cash

(Harbinger’s Daily) In January of 1945, The Death Camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated. What should have been a harsh lesson learned by humanity has slowly eroded and is running the risk of becoming what the late French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen called “a hick up of history.” The torture, bloodshed, and ashes of the Holocaust should remain a scar on

(Daily Signal) No conservative could honestly have expected the 2024 biopic “Reagan” to be a viable contender for Best Picture at the 2025 Oscars. Ultraliberal Hollywood could never honor a film that dares to depict our 40th president as a hero. But the fact that it’s officially ineligible for nomination because it doesn’t meet new diversity requirements? What an indictment

(Washington Stand) Despite frigid weather, gloomy skies, and snow actively falling from the sky, thousands still gathered together for last year’s 51st annual March for Life. This year, however, the 52nd annual March was greeted with sunshine, optimism, and Americans excited not just to fight for life, but to finally be accompanied by an administration that is far more supportive

(Daily Wire) Target is the latest major company to reverse its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Per a new memo made public on Friday, the Minneapolis-based retail giant will be joining large companies, including Walmart, McDonald’s, and Meta, to name a few, by phasing out its DEI focus. That means ending three-year DEI goals that were previously laid out.

(The Federalist) A judge dismissed the Department of Justice’s case against a doctor who uncovered secret transgender procedures on kids, assenting to a motion from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. U.S. District Judge David Hittner dismissed the partisan lawfare today against doctor Eithan Haim, who exposed Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) for performing hidden transgender interventions on children. Biden’s DOJ

(Coeur d’Alene Press) Idaho lawmakers have advanced a resolution rejecting the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling to nationally legalize same-sex marriage. In a 13-2 vote Wednesday, the House State Affairs Committee voted in favor of House Joint Memorial 1, which calls upon the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse Obergefell v. Hodges and “restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of

(Harbinger’s Daily) Pope Francis once again is vilifying the Jewish State. According to World Israel News (WIN), in an address last week, the Pope “castigated the Jewish state over what he described as the ‘shameful’ humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip during the ongoing war against Hamas.” His speech was riddled with false accusations against Israel, reportedly including claims that

(Hot Air) The Lava Ridge Wind project in Idaho has been a thorn in Idaho’s sides locally for quite some time. Last June, I told you all about how the Bureau of Land Management had, once the developer’s plans were approved, closed the required 90-day public comment period with a ‘thank you all for your input.’ The BLM pinkie swore

(RedState) In another round of executive orders signed by President Donald Trump, the petitions of the Thomas More Society, the voices of many Americans–and even Congress–were heard: Trump has pardoned 23 pro-life activists who had been targeted, convicted, and jailed by the Biden administration for violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Trump said as he

(Washington Stand) As new reports confirm the startlingly pervasive exposure of pornography among children and teens, a growing number of experts and parents are pointing out that the increasingly deviant, violent, and traumatizing content depicted in pornography is likely contributing to the rise in minors identifying as transgender. In a newly released report from Brigham Young University’s Wheatley Institute, the

(Life News) The Trump administration wasted no time today making its first moves to undo the damage Joe Biden caused in four years as president. Trump’s first pro-life action today came in the form of disabling a pro-abortion web site Biden created to promote killing babies in abortions. The website, reproductiverights.gov, was launched by the Biden administration in response to the

(Harbinger’s Daily) Wednesday, 20 U.S. lawmakers participated in the historic launch of the U.S. Congressional Friends of Judea and Samaria Caucus. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) launched the caucus with several other members of Congress, Samaria Governor Yossi Dagan, and other Jewish and Christian leaders. Relatives of hostages still being held in Gaza were also in attendance. “The Friends of Judea

(The Federalist) A slew of companies in the last year have backtracked on their “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives. McDonald’s and Meta were the most recent to fall, with activist Robby Starbuck claiming credit for persuading Mickey D’s to abandon DEI because diversity quotas discriminate against white applicants and diversity goals punish companies not sufficiently “diverse.” As the Los Angeles
