| All the Executive Orders Trump Signed on Day One |
| by Ben Johnson |
| In his second inaugural speech Monday afternoon, President Donald Trump promised that a series of forthcoming executive orders would implement the 2024 election's "revolution of common sense." He immediately proceeded to sign an avalanche of executive orders repealing the Biden-Harris administration's promotion of transgender ideology, ending the weaponization of government against pro-life advocates, safeguarding freedom of speech, securing the southern border, emphasizing American energy independence, and ending imperious government decrees by the federal bureaucracy. |

| Past Its Sale Date: Joe Biden and the ERA |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| "Democracy dies in darkness," according to The Washington Post. But sometimes it will try to jump off the cliff in broad daylight. That is as much as can be said for the statement issued by President Joe Biden on his last Friday in office that he regards the Equal Rights Amendment, the ERA, as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The departing president wrote to the nation, "It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land." |

| The Trans Obsession that Sank Harris Is Front and Center on Trump's First Day |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| More than two months removed from the election, one thing is clear: the main reason Donald Trump was sworn in on Monday and not Kamala Harris is because Democrats continue to be wildly out of touch with Americans. And there's no better example of that than the transgender issue. |

| What Will the Ceasefire Mean for Israel and Hamas? |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Hamas released three Israeli hostages Sunday night after 471 days in captivity, the first to be released under the recently inked ceasefire deal. "It's a very, very difficult time for Israelis," said CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell on "Washington Watch," "to both relish and celebrate the return of some hostages, but also know that this is a very difficult deal to swallow." Indeed, in exchange for freeing those three hostages, Israel had to release 90 Palestinian prisoners in the West Bank, who were greeted by a cheering crowd waving Hamas flags and shouting, "Allah is greater!" |

| 'A New Day for Pro-Life Advocates': Legal Rights Group Asks Trump to Pardon Jailed Protestors |
| by Ben Johnson |
| On Friday morning, President Joe Biden set the record for issuing the most pardons or commutations in U.S. history. While Biden has shown clemency toward Chinese spies, a cop-killer, and a child pornographer, his Justice Department infamously cracked down on right-to-life activists and Roman Catholic laity - an injustice pro-life advocates hope President-elect Donald Trump will correct next week. |
