In a late-night scramble, the House managed to pass a temporary funding plan that keeps Uncle Sam’s lights on and provides disaster aid, while thankfully leaving out President-elect Donald Trump's call for a debt limit increase. I can’t help but feel a mix of relief and skepticism. This feels like one of those duct-tape solutions—you…
As an independent Christian conservative, I hold deeply to the belief that justice should be impartial, transparent, and rooted in truth. Yet the presidential pardon, once envisioned as a tool for mercy and justice, has become a symbol of inequality and political gamesmanship. The recent wave of pardons and commutations from President Biden—combined with the…
When we look to the sky, we expect peace—a reminder of God’s creation stretching out in infinite wonder.

The recent tragic developments in Syria highlight a recurring and difficult question at the heart of U.S. foreign policy: Should America assume the role of global policeman, stepping into conflicts to shape the outcomes and uphold certain values, or should it prioritize its own national interests, limiting involvement in far-off disputes? This dilemma is far…
In the post-Cold War era, many believed that the age of existential threats had passed. However, recent developments reveal the emergence of a new and formidable alliance that rivals any threat faced since World War II. This "new axis of evil," consisting of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, represents a grave and multifaceted challenge…
Well, folks, President Joe Biden has done it. Despite his earlier promises to steer clear of his son’s legal troubles, he pardoned Hunter Biden—a move that smacks of "do as I say, not as I do."
