| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| That sound you hear in Washington, D.C. is every congressional staffer breathing a sigh of relief. For once, the Hill will be home at a reasonable time for Christmas - not staring down another government shutdown or stuffing an unread trillion-dollar omnibus down the Democrats' chimney. In the real first hurdle of Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) young tenure, the House did as he asked: they passed a budget bridge to next year that spares America a whole lot of headaches. |

| 'These Are Republic-Ending Tactics': Constitutional Expert Weighs in on Left's War against Trump |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| A constitutional expert is warning that Democrats are using "lawfare" to persecute former President Donald Trump and keep him off the 2024 ballot. Mike Davis, founder of originalist constitutional think tank Article 3 Project, spoke Monday to Family Research Council President Tony Perkins about the threat posed by Democrats violating and selectively weaponizing the rule of law to target Trump.

| Israel: On Our Minds and Hearts |
| by Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. Boykin |
| Since October 7, Israel has continuously been in our thoughts and prayers. The exposure of Hamas's brutal hatred for Israel's Jewish people continues to distress us. We've both spent considerable time in the Jewish State during different decades and for different reasons. And now, following Hamas's diabolical massacre in southern Israel and its military aftermath, we are reflecting on beloved Israeli friends - some who have passed on, and others who are still fighting today. |
