When President Trump tells the Pentagon to dust off the old test tunnels in Nevada, you can almost hear the collective gasp echo from Washington to Geneva. After more than three decades of quiet on the nuclear front, the United States is preparing to “match Russia and China” by restarting nuclear weapons testing. That’s not…
Tariffs, Tyrants, and Tough Love: Considering the Proposed Sanctions on Russia
The U.S. Senate is rolling out a bold new bill aimed squarely at countries still doing business with Putin’s energy empire. It would slap a whopping 500% tariff on imports from any nation that continues buying Russian oil, gas, or uranium. The goal? Hit Vladimir Putin where it counts: in the pocketbook. And let’s be…

In a world already struggling to hold onto decency and civility, this crime is a jarring reminder…
Arizona’s Abortion Law Changes Reflect a Troubling Shift in Values
By certifying the expansion of abortion access from 15 weeks to the point of "fetal viability," Arizona officials have done more than update a policy—they’ve made a bold statement about where society is heading. I find this shift deeply concerning—not just for the unborn but for the moral fabric of our nation. The Core of…
When Compassion Crosses a Line: A Christian Conservative Take on Delaware’s Assisted Suicide Debate
In a world where every headline competes for shock value, Delaware’s recent drama over physician-assisted suicide managed to snag its fair share of controversy. The state’s General Assembly passed a bill to legalize the practice for terminally ill patients, but Governor John Carney—despite his Democratic affiliation—put the brakes on it with a veto. Predictably, his…
