| Report: U.S.'s Permissive Abortion Laws Highlight Need for Federal Protections |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| A recent study is declaring U.S. abortion law to be "far more permissive than the vast majority of the world." In its 2024 report on "Gestational Limits on Abortion in the United States Compared to International Norms," published last week, the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute found that the U.S. is one of only eight countries in the United Nations that allows abortion on demand without any gestational limits, and one of only 15 countries in the U.N. to allow abortion on demand past 15 weeks of pregnancy. The U.N. has 193 member states. |

| D.C. Finally Clears Pro-Hamas Encampment in President's Backyard |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| General George Washington nearly lost the Revolutionary War because local political leaders refused to supply him with needed reinforcements.

Pro-Hamas demonstrators erected an encampment four blocks from the White House complex at George Washington University (GWU), where it remained for two weeks until Wednesday morning. |

| Johnson Survives: 'The Country Desperately Needs a Functioning Congress' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| For all of the emotional hostage-taking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has engaged in the last several weeks, the actual coup was a bit underwhelming. If there was a dramatic end to her mission to oust the speaker, it was that both parties united to call her bluff. The late Wednesday night offensive failed, leading almost everyone but a few malcontents to ask: Can we move on now? |

| Biden Blocks Munitions to Israel as Part of His 'Continual Doctrine of Appeasement': Senator |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Politically, Israel has been regarded as America's most strategic ally in the Middle East. In Christian circles, the church's relationship to Israel also carries a high significance. In light of this, it's not surprising that many are disappointed in the way the Biden administration has conducted itself since the war between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas began after the October 7 surprise attack. |

| 'A Post-Religious America' Helped Spark Anti-Semitism in Schools, Experts Say |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Pro-Palestine protests on college campuses have boomed across America with a staggering escalation of anti-Semitic acts such as breaking into buildings, defacing statues, setting up encampments, and violence toward Jewish students and faculty from Hamas sympathizers. Mass arrests have been made in response to this pandemonium. The anti-Semitism, as spectators observe, is boisterous and grotesque - but not limited to college campuses. |
