There’s a lot of heat — and very little light — surrounding the Supreme Court’s recent decision allowing President Trump’s administration to enforce a policy requiring passports to reflect a person’s biological sex, not self-identified gender. Predictably, the talking heads went into overdrive, accusing the Court and the administration of cruelty, discrimination, and “erasing” transgender…
When Tweets Trump Tact: A Lesson in Cooling Off Before Calling Out
President Trump has never been accused of underreacting, and his latest dust-up with Canada proves the point. When an ad popped up north of the border quoting Ronald Reagan about “the dangers of protectionism,” Trump slammed the brakes on trade talks faster than you can say “NAFTA.” There was just one small problem: the ad…
The Comey Arraignment
When James Comey stepped into that Virginia courthouse to plead not guilty today, the headlines focused on one man, but the deeper story is about a nation wrestling with the meaning of justice itself. For nearly a decade, Comey has been a symbol, loved by some, loathed by others, and distrusted by almost everyone in…

Holding Justice, Mercy, and Hope in the Wake of Tragedy
This is one of those moments that doesn’t just make the headlines; it hits us right in the gut. It’s the kind of tragedy that makes you stop what you’re doing, sit down for a moment, and whisper, “Lord, what’s happening to our country?” For those of us who cherish our faith, who believe in…
The Epstein Files, Maxwell’s Testimony, and the Search for Truth in a World of Shadows
Every so often, Washington, D.C. serves up a story so bizarre, so tangled, that it feels less like real life and more like the plot of a political thriller. That’s exactly where we are right now with the Jeffrey Epstein files finally landing on Capitol Hill, and with Ghislaine Maxwell speaking from prison about President…
Truth Over Tribe: Why I’m Not on the Red or Blue Team
I’ve noticed something lately. Every time I voice disagreement with something President Trump or his administration did, some folks automatically assume I must be “anti-Trump.” As if the only two options are blind loyalty or total opposition. So let me set the record straight: I’m not “anti-Trump,” and I’m not “pro-Trump.” I’m not marching under…
Standing for Truth Means Standing Alone
One thing I've noticed over the years is that if you truly stand for truth, you will be hated—especially from a political standpoint. That’s because truth doesn’t fit neatly into any particular political party or ideology. Sure, one party might align more closely with the truth than another, but they all have their flaws. Blind…
Trump, the Media, and the Battle for Truth
If there’s one thing we can always count on in American politics, it’s that the media will loudly proclaim its commitment to "free and independent journalism"—while simultaneously doing everything in its power to suppress viewpoints it doesn’t like. The latest controversy? The Trump White House has decided to take control of the presidential press pool,…
DeepSeek, AI, and the Future of Innovation: A Christian Conservative Perspective on the Battle for Truth, Technology, and Freedom
The recent news about DeepSeek—China’s latest AI development—has stunned markets, tech experts, and political analysts alike. The company claims to have built an AI model comparable to America’s best for just $5.6 million—a number that, frankly, sounds too good to be true.
