Today, the Supreme Court quietly but decisively sided with the Trump administration’s efforts to accelerate deportations, including the controversial practice of sending migrants to “third countries” where they often have no family, community ties, or cultural roots.

Compassion and Cost: Navigating Medicaid Reform
Early this morning, after a grueling overnight session, the House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced a critical piece of the GOP’s broader tax legislation: a health care provision that includes sweeping reforms to Medicaid.

Selling the Soil: Should America Trade Her Public Lands for Profit?
House Republicans have introduced a new proposal tucked into a broader energy package—one that would authorize the sale of over 350,000 acres of public land in Nevada and Utah.

So let me set the record straight: I’m not “anti-Trump,” and I’m not “pro-Trump.” I’m not marching under…
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…
Israel’s Right to Defend Itself, Hezbollah’s Evil Tactics, and the Moral Clarity the World Lacks
Once again, the world is watching another dangerous escalation in the Middle East. On Friday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) struck southern Beirut—a rare move, and the first time they’ve targeted Lebanon’s capital since November.

Justice, Mercy, and Fiery Rhetoric: A Christian Conservative Take on Trump’s Rebuke of Clemency
Well, folks, it seems President-elect Donald Trump decided to make waves on Truth Social yesterday with a message that was, shall we say, anything but festive.
