“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

Faith, Security, and Common Sense: Three Things America Could Use a Lot More Of
So, there were two interesting headlines yesterday. First, we’ve got Pope Leo XIV touring Turkey to honor the ancient roots of Christianity.

Some Thoughts on President Trump’s Nigeria Threats
When President Trump announced that the United States was “prepared to use force” if Nigeria’s government failed to stop the slaughter of Christians, it sent shockwaves through both Washington and Abuja.

Ceasefires and Crossroads: A Look at the Iran–Israel Pause
After a relentless exchange of fire between Iran and Israel—and a thunderous U.S. airstrike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure—President Trump announced a ceasefire. It was a hopeful moment... for about five minutes. But then, during a NATO summit last night, President Trump announced that the ceasefire was back on. So far, it’s held longer than the…
Modern Jews and the Birth of Israel: Debunking Myths and Misconceptions
Let’s tackle two stubborn questions head-on, the kind that buzz around the internet like mosquitoes you can’t quite swat: Are modern Jews truly the descendants of the ancient Israelites?
