Law, Mercy, and the Migrant: Reflecting on the Supreme Court’s TPS Decision for Venezuelans
The Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision affirming President Trump’s authority to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Venezuelan nationals. These individuals were originally granted protection due to the collapse of civil society in Venezuela—rampant political persecution, economic devastation, and violence that made safe return virtually impossible. For years, they’ve lived and…
Due Process vs. National Security
The United States Supreme Court recently handed down a 7–2 decision extending its block on President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals. At the heart of the issue is the administration’s effort to expel individuals suspected of affiliation with violent gangs—most notably the notorious Tren de Aragua. The ruling temporarily…
Liberty, Law, and Vigilance: A Reflection on the Release of Badar Khan Suri
In a case that’s drawing both praise and sharp criticism, U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles recently ordered the release of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national and a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University.

The Senate’s Crypto Crossroads—Regulation, Responsibility, and Righteousness in the Digital Age
In a moment that could have paved the way for a new era of financial clarity, the U.S. Senate failed to advance what would have been the nation’s first major cryptocurrency legislation.

Peace Through Power: President Trump’s Houthi Ceasefire and the Art of Strategic Restraint
The Power of Pressure: Bombs First, Bargains Later Before we even talk about ceasefires and diplomacy, let’s be honest about what got the Houthis to the negotiating table in the first place: raw, decisive American firepower.

National Defense or Social Experiment? A Christian Conservative Response to the Transgender Military Ban
A Nation at a Crossroads The recent Supreme Court decision upholding President Trump’s Executive Order 14183 has reignited a polarizing debate about the role of transgender individuals in the U.S. military.

Mifepristone, State Sovereignty, and the Battle for Life: Why the States Must Have the Right to Sue
In the ever-escalating cultural and constitutional war over abortion in America, the fight over mifepristone—the so-called “abortion pill”—has emerged as ground zero. Recently, Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri filed a lawsuit challenging the FDA’s loosened restrictions on mifepristone, arguing that federal approval and telehealth access undermine their pro-life laws. President Trump’s Department of Justice is asking…
Trimming the Top Brass: A Christian Conservative Look at Secretary Hegseth’s Military Reform
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent order to cut the number of four-star generals and admirals by at least 20% is sending ripples through Washington and the Pentagon alike.
