| Conservatives Brace for Attack on Life, Marriage in Upcoming Platform Debate |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| While the GOP is stuck in a messaging rut on life, rumors are swirling that a group of moderate Republicans might try to take advantage of the confusion and water down the party's position on abortion. NBC News is the latest to stir the pot, insisting that they spoke to nine people close to the Trump campaign who warned that there's a strategy afoot to stop conservatives from moving the party platform "too far to the right" on things like abortion and same-sex marriage. That's sounding plenty of alarms in the GOP, where the base will tell you: debating the issues is fine, abandoning them is not. |

| Three European Nations Recognize a Palestinian State |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| In a coordinated effort "to add international pressure on Israel," as even the Associated Press admitted, three European nations formally recognized a state of Palestine on Tuesday. The complementary declarations by Norway, Ireland, and Spain are "a rather alarming development," House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on "This Week on the Hill," which will only encourage Hamas and other anti-Semitic groups to further acts of terrorism. |

| As Iran's Nuclear Stockpile Swells, Biden Urges Allies to Stand Down, Report Details |
| by Dan Hart |
| A bombshell Wall Street Journal report said on Monday that the Biden administration is urging European allies to refrain from rebuking Iran for continuing to pursue its nuclear weapons program. Despite U.S. officials denying the report, a leading national security expert is observing that the WSJ's claims fit a pattern of the Biden administration taking a hands-off approach with the terrorist-supporting Islamist regime. |

| Libertarianism Is Cancer: Liberty, License, and Life Everlasting |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| There was a time when the term "libertarian" might have been applied to America's Founding Fathers, those courageous men who so tirelessly fought for liberty. Even now, "libertarian" as a philosophical term might call to mind images of Patrick Henry standing before his fellow members of the Virginia Convention and crying, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Despite these grandiose allusions, both the philosophy of libertarianism and the political faction (if such it might be called) of the Libertarian Party are cancerous: like cancer, each will only kill that which it inflicts, be it a soul or a nation. |

| We Need to Take a Closer Look at the Suffering of Christians in North Korea |
| by Abigail Ferrara |
| "Life for Christians in North Korea [is] a constant cauldron of pressure; capture or death is only a mistake away." As cited by the 2022 State Department report, this is the daily reality for Christians in North Korea. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) was the latest to sound that alarm, documenting the testimonies of several North Korean defectors on the horrific experiences of Christians and other religious adherents in prison. |

| California Considers Legislation Hiding Students' Gender Transitions from Parents |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| In November 2023, a poll found 68% of Americans across party lines believed parents should be notified "if their child changes their gender identification or preferred pronouns at school." And while some are shocked this is a controversial topic to begin with, many are not-so shocked to learn the state of California has proven to be an epicenter of these debates. |
