| 'I'm Not Sure We've Got a Country': Trump Returns to Twitter for Wide-Ranging Talk with Elon Musk |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Over 22 million people across the world tuned in on Monday night to listen to a lengthy discussion between former President Donald Trump and tech magnate Elon Musk. Hosted on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter and now owned by Musk, the two-hour-long conversation covered a broad range of topics. The live broadcast was delayed by nearly an hour due to a "massive" Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack, which Musk said "illustrates there's a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say." |

| Did Abortions Increase After Dobbs? An Expert Breaks Down the Latest Study |
| by Ben Johnson |
| A liberal researcher's latest study finds that women had more abortions during part of this year than the same period before the Dobbs decision, but a pro-life expert says the results bring him skepticism, as well as concern. The same report noted that blue states have effectively nationalized the purportedly "states' rights" issue of abortion by sheltering those who illegally mailed hundreds of thousands of abortion-inducing bills to pro-life states. And the report documented that pro-life protections at the state level continued to save unborn babies' lives. |

| by Sarah Holliday |
| Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) measures have created their fair share of controversy.

| 'The Crownless Again Shall Be King': The Conservative Heart of J.R.R. Tolkien's Work |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Since its publication in 1954, "The Lord of the Rings" has proven to be not only one of the most popular but one of the most influential literary works of the previous century. Despite its 70 years of popularity, the three-volume novel has become, over the past few weeks, the subject of some debate and contention. Since its author, the Oxford don J.R.R. Tolkien, was himself a conservative Christian, it is thus unsurprising that conservative Christians even today find much to admire and appreciate in "The Lord of the Rings." However, once Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R) was named the Republican vice presidential nominee last month, both Politico and The New York Times issued "think pieces" on Tolkien's work, which Vance has said was influential over his own "conservative worldview." |

As evidenced by previous reports, as well as one published last month, mental health concerns are exploding in the younger generation. |
