(The Federalist) Congress’s latest spending scam is not receiving the glowing reviews weak-kneed Speaker Mike Johnson was hoping for.

(Daily Wire) In the wake of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on December 4, “Wanted” posters with names and photos of Thompson and other healthcare executives were spotted around Manhattan this week. “The posters warn that ‘HEALTH CARE CEOS SHOULD NOT FEEL SAFE’ and include ‘DENY… DEFEND… DEPOSE’ — the three words found on the bullets

(Faith & Freedom) Randi Weingarten, president and CEO of the American Federation of Teachers, the second-largest education union in the nation, says that her members “really don’t care” whether President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his promise to abolish the Department of Education.

(Washington Stand) Human sex traffickers may have used a Biden administration program that imported tens of thousands of illegal immigrants a month into the United States “to exploit women and girls,” a congressional report has revealed. In addition to breaking consecutive records for the largest number of border crossings in U.S. history, the Biden-Harris administration’s Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela

(The Federalist) Americans who spent at least three high school years homeschooling or attending a Protestant Christian school are much more likely than public school graduates to express Christian beliefs and attend church as adults, finds a recently released survey. Those surveyed who spent at least three years in a Roman Catholic high school are about as likely to attend

(Harbinger’s Daily) In the wake of an armed takeover in Syria by an Islamic terrorist group that has toppled longtime dictator, President Bashar al-Assad, the future of the Christian minority there is fragile, religious freedom advocates say. Several Christian relief groups have called on believers worldwide to pray for the church in Syria and for the nation amid what one

(Washington Stand) Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, one of the most prominent so-called “gender doctors” around, came under fire in October after she chose to withhold the findings of her nearly decade-long study on puberty blockers that appeared to contradict her personal beliefs. It turns out, however, that this sticky situation was only the beginning for Olson-Kennedy. Just last week, the doctor

(Harbinger’s Daily) A New York public school has withdrawn its denial of an eighth-grader’s application to start a Bible club.

For two years, Nelson, a pastor’s son, requested permission to start a Bible

(Life News) The number of operational brick-and-mortar abortion clinics held somewhat steady in 2024; all things considered. Twenty-nine clinics closed or halted abortions, while 46 clinics opened or resumed abortions. Twenty other clinics no longer see patients in person and were moved into the virtual pill supplier category, resulting in an overall net decrease of three abortion clinics, from 670

(The Federalist) NBC’s Kristen Welker asked President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday if he still planned to end birthright citizenship. Trump affirmed his plans. But the way Welker deliberately misrepresented the amendment reveals not only a glaring need for clarification from Congress or the Supreme Court about whether children born to illegal aliens are citizens but the dangers of a press

(Coeur d’Alene Press) A panel of federal judges Monday largely upheld Idaho’s “abortion trafficking” law, a measure passed in the 2023 legislative session meant to punish an adult who helps a minor seek an abortion in another state or obtain medication that will induce an abortion. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ opinion reverses U.S. Magistrate Judge Debora K. Grasham’s

(The Daily Signal) Diversity, equity, and inclusion has made society meaner—mean enough to accept Hitlerian terms when describing out-groups and seeking to exact revenge on perceived oppressors. This was all common sense to many of us years ago, but it’s nice that we now have a study that substantiates our perception. The report, released Nov. 25 by the always-good Network Contagion Research

(Harbinger’s Daily) I don’t know how many people have read The Art of War. This work is a fifth-century B.C. military strategy about understanding the enemy and describing how to exploit their weaknesses. One of the strategies is: “In war, the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won.” This means one of the best times to reattack

(The Daily Signal) It’s hard to wrap your head around just how grotesque it is that many medical associations and the federal government have adopted the idea that it’s healthy to sterilize children in an attempt to “affirm” a stated transgender identity. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will shed much-needed sunlight on this medical scandal of epic proportions. Tennessee Solicitor

(Daily Wire) A courageous woman from Kenya who serves as the United Nations’ Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide was fired after she stood up to the Israel-haters in the U.N. and refused to declare that Israel has committed “genocide” in its war against Hamas, according to The Wall Street Journal. “Alice Nderitu said Israel’s campaign in Gaza doesn’t

(Washington Stand) While most of America’s televisions never budged from the steady stream of Thanksgiving football, the eyes of an entire movement were set on one of the most important games in the Title IX wars: a Mountain West women’s volleyball tournament held Saturday. The match pitted trans-identifying Blaire Fleming and the San Jose State girls’ team against an all-female

(Faith & Freedom) Just one day after Americans remembered Plymouth Colony and the Pilgrims who survived their first harsh winter, the country they fled moved one step closer to killing its own citizens. Lawmakers in Great Britain on Friday voted in favor of assisted dying for citizens in England and Wales who meet certain strict criteria. Dying to be permissive,

(Life News) As a Christian nonprofit leader, I don’t suggest how anyone should vote in elections, with one exception: Vote biblically. On the other side of Election Day, every Christian leader should be paying attention to key signals — and warnings — about the nature of Christian participation in public life following the 2024 presidential election. As the world’s leading

(Decision Magazine) According to a new report released by the American Principles Project (APP), 70% of the Department of Education’s penalty actions were targeted toward faith-based colleges and career schools under the Biden-Harris administration. Though 59 out of the 87 actions were placed on these institutions, the schools represent less than 10% of college students.

(Harbinger’s Daily) It has been three weeks since the Israeli Air Force struck sensitive military sites in retaliation for Iran launching the largest ballistic missile barrage in military history against Israel.

The BSU athletes are joined by a coalition of a coach and several athletes from four other universities in the Mountain West Conference. They’re alleging that a

(PJ Media) It took high school students and a former student’s TikTok video to get the attention of the cops and the brass at a small Oregon school district. The message was pretty simple: They’re sick of the predateachers at their school—teachers that students have been complaining about since at least 2019. When the dust settled, school had been canceled
