| Senate GOP Links Arms with House to Demand Dems Get Back to Business |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| "Even on a good day," Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) said, "most Americans look at Washington, D.C., and they ask themselves, 'How did these people make it through the birth canal?' That's on a good day." But good days have been hard to come by lately, as the House devolves into chaos and the vacant speakership into an Emmy Award-winning soap. And while there's not much Senate Republicans can do to rescue their House counterparts, that doesn't mean they won't try. |

| Military Recruitment Shortfall Due to 'Woke Agenda,' Say Experts |
| by Dan Hart |
| For the second straight year, the Army announced that it has fallen well short of its recruiting goals. The shortfall this year reached 10,000 troops, which follows a 2022 shortfall of 15,000. Experts say that the lack of interest in the armed forces among otherwise military-minded young people stems largely from the Pentagon's recent shift toward embracing controversial ideologies and practices rooted in critical race theory (CRT) and gender identity confusion. |

| When You Wish Upon a Star: The Diabolical Power of Disney |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| So we all know Disney has gone woke, and some may even be aware of the subtle nods Disney has been giving to anti-Christianity of late. As an insular example, the adult-geared FXX subsidiary of Disney-owned FX aired a show called "Little Demon" last year, an animated comedy series following Satan's daughter, Chrissy, who also happens to be the Antichrist. The show was released on Disney+, the company's streaming platform, early this year. |

| Appropriations Bill Institutes Pro-Life Protections for PEPFAR |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The U.S. House reauthorized the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) for one year and placed strong pro-life protections on the funding. It was included as part of the State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill, which passed 216-212. "This critical legislation continues and strengthens PEPFAR for another year," said U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), "ensuring that critically needed medicines - including anti-retroviral (ARVs) and other life-saving interventions - are available to those who need them in Africa and elsewhere." |

| 'Teach Kids to Read Week': Moms for Liberty Launches Event Countering LGBT Ideology |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| This week, the American Library Association (ALA), a taxpayer funded organization, is hosting "Banned Books Week" for children, which involves reading books like "Gender Queer," a title infamously known for its pornographic content and is banned in multiple school districts. Rather than reading sexual content to kids (which ALA is and will be doing this week), Moms for Liberty seeks to take the attention away from gender ideology to highlight the many children who do not know how to read. |
