| Harris Tough on Border Security? 'That's a Joke' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| If you're trying to follow along with the Democrats' narrative on immigration, good luck. In the last several weeks, the media's gone from disputing that Vice President Kamala Harris was ever "border czar" to the claim that she's been "tough as nails" on border security. What used to be the "challenge" of millions of illegal migrants crossing into America is finally a "crisis," according to even Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). And the man who hasn't been in office for four years is somehow to blame for all of it. |

| Children's National Hospital Took, Transitioned Child as Parents Fought for His Long-Term Best Interest |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| A Christian couple has sued Children's National Hospital (CNH) in Washington, D.C. after the hospital took away their autistic, teenage son and nudged him into a gender transition. Throughout the process, the parents (referred to pseudonymously as Mr. and Mrs. John Doe II) fought for the best interest of their child (John Doe III), while the hospital's decision-making can only be described as bizarre. |

| PERKINS: Protecting Life Is No Half-Measure |
| by Tony Perkins |
| In 1858, as he kicked off his bid for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln gave one of his most notable speeches. The issue was slavery and the question before him was this: Could the nation survive half-free and half-slave? It's a different era, but the issue remains the same, deeply rooted in the inalienable rights bestowed upon us by God: life, ordered liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. |

| Should the Department of Education Be Abolished? |
| by Dan Hart |
| In the wake of former President Donald Trump declaring earlier this month that he would seek to shut down the Department of Education (DOE) if elected president in November, some experts are reexamining the usefulness of the federal agency, arguing that the education of children is best handled at the local level and that cutting the agency would be part of addressing the federal budget deficit. |

| Outstanding - Ep. 127: A Breakdown of the Democratic National Convention |
| Podcast with Joseph Backholm and Ben Johnson |
| Last week, the streets of Chicago were overflowing with protestors, police, and a mobile abortion unit - all tale tell signs the Democratic National Convention was back in town. From DJs to vibes, the DNC was in full swing as Kamala Harris "officially" accepted the Democratic presidential nomination. Host Joseph Backholm, who had boots on the ground outside of the DNC last week, is joined by The Washington Stand's Ben Johnson to look past the music and hype and discuss what actually happened at the DNC. According to speeches given at the convention, one cannot have freedom without abortion, parents do not know best for their children, and the border is not a priority. Give this episode a listen to learn more about what went down at the DNC. P.S. No TikTok dances were made during the filming of this podcast - the same could not be said of the DNC. |

| Trump-Vance Promise to Reject Federal Pro-Life Laws |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| In a move many conservatives and Christians find devastating, the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate are walking further away from their pro-life base. Former President Donald Trump posted Friday evening on Truth Social, "My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights." The term "reproductive rights" is used to refer to abortion. |

| A Christian Response to the DNC: God's Truth Is 'Being Reframed' by Democrats |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The Democratic National Convention (DNC) concluded last week, but there's still much to break down. On Friday's episode of "Washington Watch," Director of Family Research Council's Center for Biblical Worldview David Closson and Senior Fellow for Biblical Worldview and Strategic Engagement Joseph Backholm did just that. From a biblical worldview, the two experts tackled some of the themes from this year's DNC, including the promotion of abortion through all nine months of pregnancy and the party's definition of freedom and personal choice. |

| Report: Evangelicals 'More Likely to be Shaped by Culture Than to Influence It' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| George Barna, director of research at Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center, released new data earlier this month that "reveals the limitations of Christian evangelicalism in American society." The events from recent years have caused "millions of Americans to realize just how depraved American society has become," the report stated. "Corrupt politicians, dishonest journalists and media outlets, broken social institutions, immoral religious leaders, unconstitutional government programs and policies, and more, have generated non-stop headlines highlighting the decadence of American society and the demise of the United States." |
