| Johnson on Trump-Biden Debate: 'CNN Is Going to Rig It as Much as Possible' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Getting President Biden ready for any public appearance these days is time consuming. But it's nothing compared to prepping him for a high-stakes debate with former President Donald Trump that could decide the November elections. Desperate to convince voters that the 81-year-old is mentally fit, aides and strategists are hunkering down for days of "debate camp" before the showdown with his predecessor. "This is the entire election, as far as I'm concerned," former Obama advisor Van Jones warned. "... If Biden goes out there and messes up, it's game over." |

| Senator: Russia-North Korea Military Pact a Result of Biden's 'Projection of Weakness' |
| by Dan Hart |
| On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un signed a mutual defense pact in Pyongyang, stoking fears that the agreement will lead to escalating aggression against the U.S. and its allies. While uncertainties remain about specifics, the pact states that if one of the two countries is invaded, the other must deploy "all means at its disposal without delay" to provide "military and other assistance." South Korean analyst Cheong Seong Chang stated that the accord is the strongest since the Cold War. "North Korea and Russia have completely restored their Cold War-era military alliance," he asserted. |

| Drafting Women Would Turn Female Bodies into 'Instruments of War' |
| by Ben Johnson |
| An amendment to a must-pass bill pending before Congress would force women to register for the military draft - a move opposed by most Americans and two out of three females. The current draft of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) amends the Military Selective Service Act to require women to join men in registering with Selective Service, opening the potential that the government would conscript both sexes in the event of a military draft. |

| Scientific American: Homeschooling Parents Need to Undergo Background Checks |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| There's a growing list of states adopting universal school choice, and Louisiana is the most recent addition. "The LA Gator Program puts parents in the driver's seat and gives every child the opportunity for a great education," said Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry (R). "When parents are committed to the value of their child's education, government should never get in the way." And it seems many of these parents are moving to homeschooling to ensure their children are getting a well-rounded, trustworthy education. This, however, has received pushback. |

| War Causes Israelis to Seek the 'Hope of Israel' |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| A Christian ministry that supplies Israelis with New Testaments for free has seen a remarkable rise in demand since Hamas's October 7 terror attack that killed approximately 1,200 Israelis and kicked off both new hostilities with the surrounding nations and a global surge of anti-Semitism. "Israel has prided itself in its ability to defend itself, so October 7 was a real blow to that for people," said Aaron Abramson, executive director of Jews for Jesus. "I think that's why a lot of people were starting to sort of dig into those spiritual questions." |

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| While Americans focus on November's general election, Hungary is preparing to lead Europe in a more conservative direction. Starting July 1, Hungary will become president of the Council of the European Union, one of the EU's two legislative bodies (alongside the European Parliament) which serves as a check on the executive European Commission. Leadership of the council rotates every six months amongst the EU's 27 member states and Hungary is planning to use its position to make Europe great again. |

| N.Y. Court Puts Abortion Amendment Back on the Ballot |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| A New York appellate court decided this week to overrule a lower court's decision and put a proposed amendment enshrining abortion in the Empire State's constitution back on November's ballot. After New York Republicans challenged the proposed amendment, Livingston County Judge Daniel J. Doyle ruled early last month that the state legislature had "violated" the New York constitution in approving the proposed amendment, called the "Equal Rights Amendment" (ERA), due to it appearing too early on ballots. |

| Expert: Calif. Amendment Could Lead to Legitimizing 'Polyamorous, Incestuous, and Child Marriages' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| A proposed California state constitutional amendment's attempt to broaden the definition of marriage to better align with LGBT ideology may lead to a landslide of disastrous consequences, experts say. Proposition 8 of the California Constitution defines marriage as something "between a man and a woman," and the California court is currently considering a proposal that would erase certain language that experts are warning could lead to the legitimizing of polyamorous, incestuous, and child marriages. |

| How Can We Experience Hardship without Resorting to Grumbling? |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Pastor Charles Spurgeon once eloquently stated, "The trees bow in the wind, and so must we. Every time the sheep bleats it loses a mouthful, and every time we complain we miss a blessing. Grumbling is a bad trade, and yields no profit, but patience has a golden hand. Our evils will soon be over." What a beautiful truth, yet so easily forgotten. |
