Love, Not Lies: Why Christians Should Oppose the Kelly Loving Act
Colorado is currently considering a new piece of legislation called the Kelly Loving Act.

The Senate’s Shameful Filibuster: Why Protecting Women’s Sports Shouldn’t Be Controversial
This week, something remarkable happened. Gavin Newsom, one of the most left-wing governors in America, admitted that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.” Yes, you read that right—the same Gavin Newsom who has spent years pushing radical gender ideology is suddenly concerned about fairness. Of course, Newsom’s newfound concern has…
Trump’s IVF Executive Order: A Misguided, Anti-Life Mistake
President Trump’s recent executive order on in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a disappointment for pro-life conservatives.

Fairness, Reality, and Readiness: Why Trump’s Transgender Policies on Sports and the Military Are Just Common Sense
President Trump’s recent executive orders barring transgender individuals from competing in women’s sports and restricting their access to the military aren’t about hate, discrimination, or exclusion—they’re about fairness, reality, and national security.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and HHS: Why Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (Surprisingly) Got It Right
Well, well, well—every once in a blue moon, something happens in Washington that reminds me the Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways.

RFK Jr. at HHS: Trump’s Wild Card Pick and the Conservative Dilemma
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was always going to be a political lightning rod, but his Senate confirmation hearing turned into an all-out battle over science, ideology, and the soul of the conservative movement. The spectacle exposed deep political and philosophical divisions: Democrats, who have…
Trump’s Pro-Life Policies: A Bold Step for Life, But More Work Remains
President Trump’s recent executive orders reinstating pro-life policies demonstrate a firm commitment to protecting the sanctity of life, both at home and abroad.

However, while these steps are…
