Yesterday, we dug into the $46.5 billion proposal to secure our southern border, a major investment in national sovereignty. Today, we’re turning our attention to another measure tucked into the OBBBA: a $1,000 fee slapped on migrants seeking asylum in the United States. For the first time in our nation’s history, those fleeing war, persecution,…
A Look at the LaMonica McIver Assault Case
Representative LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) has been charged for allegedly assaulting federal officers during a visit to a New Jersey ICE facility. For those of us who value both the rule of law and the God-given rights protected by our Constitution, it’s time to hit the brakes and ask a serious question: is this a legitimate…
Should Uncle Sam Play Matchmaker and Midwife? A Christian Conservative Take on Marriage, Babies, and Big Government
You know we’ve hit an odd chapter in American history when the government is basically saying, “Get hitched, make babies, and here’s five grand to sweeten the deal.” That’s not a parody headline — it's real policy brainstorming coming out of the White House. According to recent reports, the administration is entertaining proposals to address…
Tattoos, Truth, and Discernment
In a time when images can be edited with the swipe of a finger, and truth can be twisted into something barely recognizable, we are reminded just how critical discernment is — not only as citizens, but especially as Christians. The story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father of three wrongly deported to El…
Truth Over Tribe: Why I’m Not on the Red or Blue Team
I’ve noticed something lately. Every time I voice disagreement with something President Trump or his administration did, some folks automatically assume I must be “anti-Trump.” As if the only two options are blind loyalty or total opposition.

Fighting for Family: Why Jennifer Vasquez Sura Deserves to Be Heard
You’ve got to hand it to Pam Bondi—when it comes to spinning a bad situation, she’s got the finesse of a washing machine on turbo. Her latest claim? That Jennifer Vasquez Sura and her disabled child are "safer" without her husband, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported by the Trump administration. “America is safer…
When Rhetoric Replaces Righteousness: A Christian Conservative Response to Pam Bondi’s MS-13 Claim
Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General and longtime Republican fixture, has claimed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not only in the U.S. illegally, but was tied to the brutal MS-13 gang.

Should Christians Engage in Politics?
Politics. That one word can turn a perfectly peaceful Sunday lunch into a debate club, make church small groups nervously sip their coffee, and transform your once-wholesome Facebook feed into a minefield of memes, arguments, and Scripture taken way out of context. It’s a battlefield—not just of ideas, but of worldviews, emotions, and deeply held…
Standing for Truth Means Standing Alone
One thing I've noticed over the years is that if you truly stand for truth, you will be hated—especially from a political standpoint. That’s because truth doesn’t fit neatly into any particular political party or ideology. Sure, one party might align more closely with the truth than another, but they all have their flaws. Blind…
Wildfires, Responsibility, and the Call for Leadership Rooted in Stewardship
The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles are a sobering reminder of California’s ongoing battle with natural disasters. The numbers are staggering: ten lives lost, 180,000 people evacuated, and iconic areas left in ruins. Financial damages are estimated at $57 billion, but the human and environmental toll is incalculable. Amid this crisis, President-elect Donald Trump criticized…
