| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| While Kamala Harris's numbers are starting to come back to earth after a disastrous vice presidential debate, things have never looked better for the Californian's campaign.

Or, as the 2024 numbers warn, the lack thereof. |

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| In the wake of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene, and with Hurricane Milton expected to strike Florida by the end of Wednesday, the federal government is taking flak for its lackluster response to the disasters.

| Vance: Trump Has Been 'Consistent' about Defunding Planned Parenthood |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Former President Donald Trump's running mate is pledging to defund the abortion giant Planned Parenthood if Trump is elected for a second term. Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) was asked by RealClearPolitics over the weekend if a second Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood, a policy Trump discussed during his first presidential bid. Vance replied, "On the question of defunding Planned Parenthood, look, I mean, our view is we don't think that taxpayers should fund late-term abortions. That has been a consistent view of the Trump campaign the first time around. It will remain a consistent view." |

| Georgia Supreme Court Reinstates 6-Week Pro-Life Protections |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| For years, there's been a back-and-forth battle in Georgia concerning HB 481, otherwise referred to as the Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act (the LIFE Act). Last week, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled to strike down the pro-life legislation, which protects an unborn baby from abortion after six weeks. The decision was mourned by pro-life advocates, yet at the same time, encouraged many to keep fighting for the right to life. On Monday, Georgia's Supreme Court reinstated the LIFE Act. |

| by Lela Gilbert |
| Today, nothing in Israel is predictable. Meanwhile, fear, trauma, PTSD, and endless uncertainty are rampant.

They deserve our prayerful intercession every day. |
