Federal Officials Accused of Hindering Hurricane Relief, Overspending on Illegal Immigrants
by S.A. McCarthy
American citizens are rushing to the assistance of their countrymen impacted by Hurricane Helene, but Democrats and the federal government are halting assistance, all while illegal immigrants are given taxpayer dollars. The hurricane has carved a 500-mile swath of destruction across Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, parts of Tennessee, and Virginia, with rural North Carolina having been hit especially hard. Charity organizations and private citizens have mobilized to assist hurricane victims, largely in areas neglected by state and federal agencies, but authorities are telling Americans to stop.

Speaker Johnson: More Civility Needed in National Dialogue
by Sarah Holliday
The vice-presidential debate last week was a memorable night within the presidential election season - but maybe not in ways one would expect. After the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, social media and news anchors alike buzzed with the talk of extreme bias from the debate moderators and uncivil dialogue between the two candidates.

Federal Judge Blocks California Deepfake Law
by Joshua Arnold
The state of California went to war with a middling social media influencer and lost. After "Mr. Reagan" (real name Christopher Kohls) created an AI-generated parody of Vice President Kamala Harris that was a little too on-the-nose, California rushed to pass a bill banning election-related media that digitally alters a candidate's voice or likeness for 120 days before an election and 60 days after it - half a year.

The Bible Never Asks Us to Take a 'Blind Leap of Faith'
by Sarah Holliday
Christians can't afford to embrace a belief system that insists that faith does not require reason. This is antithetical to what Scripture teaches and calls us to. The danger of fideism is twofold, harming both the witness and spiritual well-being of the believer.
