| Transgenderism Not 'Honorable, Truthful' or Compatible with Military Service: Trump EO |
| by Ben Johnson |
| President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders reorienting the U.S. military away from liberal indoctrination by banning extreme gender ideology - including transgender pronouns - and DEI policies aimed at advancing critical race theory. The actions brand transgender ideology a "falsehood" that prevents its adherents from living a "honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one's personal life." |

| Costco's Wholesale Refusal to Cut DEI Draws Warning from 19 States |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| It's a shrinking club, but there are still headstrong CEOs who refuse to bend to the anti-woke winds. None have grabbed more headlines than Costco, the big box holdout who's clinging to DEI while a stampede of businesses run the other way. After voting down a shareholder resolution last Thursday to return to neutral, the heat is on. And if consumers won't change the company's mind, maybe 19 state attorneys general will. |

| Whistleblower: Americans 'Don't Know How Bad' DEI Corruption Is in FBI |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| An FBI whistleblower is warning that identity and race-based ideology runs deep in the nation's top law enforcement agency - and officials may try to undermine President Donald Trump's FBI director to keep it that way. According to former FBI Special Agent Steve Friend, FBI officials are secretly defying Trump's order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices and programs, instead shuffling DEI-driven leaders around to other influential posts. |

| Senator: U.S. Needs a More 'Skills-Based' and 'Flexible' Immigration Policy |
| by Dan Hart |
| As the Trump administration expands the enforcement authority of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to capture criminal illegal immigrants, fears have grown over whether the new administration will also target migrants who have lived and worked peacefully in the U.S. for decades. One GOP senator is calling for reform of U.S. immigration policy to make it more "skills-based" and "flexible" in a rapidly evolving immigration landscape. |

| As Hamas Rebuilds in Gaza, Ceasefire's Future Looks Dim |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Before Hamas released four female IDF soldiers on Saturday as part of the ongoing prisoner swap, they forced them to participate in a humiliating display. "They put the girls in fake uniforms, and they paraded them up on stage in front of a crowd of men carrying automatic weapons and whooping," related Jewish News Syndicate Senior Contributing Editor Caroline Glick on "Washington Watch" Monday. "They were told that they had to smile and put their hands up and stuff like that." |

| Trump Reinstates Over 8,000 Military Members Booted for Refusing COVID Vaccine |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| It's been roughly five years since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit America, but the fallout over what was done during that period are still being addressed. Mask mandates, social distancing, and other responses to COVID seemed to affect all walks of life. But when it comes to our nation's military members, there are still thousands who have yet to be reinstated for refusing the COVID vaccine. |

| Federal Bureaucrats Fear, Resist Trump Changes |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Before Donald Trump's first full week as president was finished, the federal firings had already begun. On Monday, Acting U.S. Attorney General James McHenry fired dozens of Justice Department officials who "played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump" and therefore could not be trusted "to assist in implementing the President's agenda faithfully." Over at the Department of Labor, Kamala Harris aide Elizabeth Pe?a was fired from a three-year position after reporters discovered she had "secretly burrowed into the government" post-Election Day. |

| Biblical Forgiveness Is Extended, Not Earned |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Forgiveness can be tricky. Arguably, many of us are often tempted to view forgiveness through the lens of human emotions. In doing so, we become prone to being stingy with our forgiveness. We think, "That person doesn't deserve to be forgiven. They didn't even say sorry!" Many of us get hurt and hold on to grudges, blocking any chance of offering a forgiving hand. Tragically, a lot of us would rather just cut relational ties entirely. And yet, the Bible tells us to forgive. So, what are we to do? |
