| 'Dangerous' for Democrats? Amber Rose Makes Controversial Appearance at RNC |
| by Dan Hart |
| Some prominent conservative voices are expressing dismay that model and former reality TV star Amber Rose was given a speaking slot at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Monday due to the celebrity's public advocacy for abortion, among other concerns. While some observers say that Rose could help Republicans attract a broader swath of voters to the ballot box in November, others say it's more important for the GOP to clearly define a pro-life position to distinguish itself from the Democrats. |

| An 'Affirmation of the Gift of Life': A Christian Response to the Assassination Attempt |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Life is precious and infinitely valuable. The very truth of being made in the image of God means each life has innate dignity and value. As humans, we have ambitions and emotions. We care about our lives and the lives of our loved ones. More often than not, we want what will lead to a peaceful and harmonious society. And yet, such a society seems constantly out of reach. Could it be, as tragic as it was, that the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump served as a wake-up call for the American people? |

| After the Party in Milwaukee, an Avalanche of Appropriations Await |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Right now, the country's business feels like background noise to a much bigger American story. But next week, after the RNC confetti is swept up and the balloon arches come down, life will start to return to semi-normalcy. People will have heard from a bandaged (and potentially changed) Donald Trump and maybe even start to reconcile what happened on that crowded stage in Pennsylvania. Congress, on the other hand, won't have the luxury of self-reflection. They'll be back at their desks, frantically trying to hammer through the work that stands in the way of them and a long August break. |

| by Joshua Arnold |

| 'Divine Intervention': Trump's Survival Proves 'Thoughts and Prayers' Do Matter |
| by Ben Johnson |
| One of the most lamentable developments in recent politics has been the Left's decision to insult the importance of "thoughts and prayers." Believers utter the well-meaning phrase as a sign of heartfelt charity for those who suffer any kind of tragedy. Yet some of the most prominent figures on the Left, who never let a crisis go to waste, go so far as to call "thought and prayers" meaningless. Thankfully, the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening has evoked a different response to the power of the Almighty. |

| Here's How You Can Help Protect Children and Fight against Human Trafficking |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| It's sad and horrific to think about the children who are enslaved as sex-workers. It's nearly impossible to fathom. But it needs to be discussed. It needs to be fought. The 2023 film "Sound of Freedom" effectively and emotionally conveyed the reality that human trafficking is not only a problem, but it's an underestimated problem. Children being pulled from their families, shipped to undisclosed countries, and abused by this heinous and criminal system is not only common, but "these things happen every single day," said Paul Hutchinson, the executive producer of the film, in an interview with The Washington Stand. |
