| Trump Pentagon Dumps Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Travel after Tuberville's Two-Year Fight |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| President Donald Trump may not have ended all wars on day one, but he has managed to end the one our military never should have been fighting. After almost two years, the Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it would no longer put taxpayers on the hook for our troops' and their dependents' abortion travel, ending a hugely controversial policy that Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) fought courageously since 2023. |

| 'A Welcome Relief': Trump Signs EOs Targeting Anti-Semitism, CRT, Gender Ideology in Schools |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| It's getting hard to keep up with the number of executive orders President Donald Trump has signed within his first two weeks in office - especially those that are marking significant strides in the fight against leftist ideologies. One of these battles includes the increased anti-Semitism seen on college campuses since Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. |

| Idaho House Urges SCOTUS to 'Restore Natural Definition of Marriage' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The Obergefell decision has been in place for nearly a decade now. And while no serious movement to overturn it has been successful, an effort is, indeed, still being made. In fact, just this week, the Idaho House of Representatives passed a petition that "calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse the decision in Obergefell v. Hodges and restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman." |

| The Natural, Sinful Rush to Blame |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Before emergency responders had finished pulling bodies out of the icy Potomac, politicians had already begun passing around blame for the tragic plane crash that took 67 lives near Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport. The instinct to blame others is natural to each of us, but as Christians, we are called to fight against it. |

| Weaponization or Accountability? A Fork in the Road for the FBI |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| "There will be no weaponization at the FBI," pledged Kash Patel, Trump's nominee for director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, during his Thursday confirmation hearing. "There will be no retributive actions taken by any FBI [personnel] should I be confirmed as FBI director." Patel added that he "would never do anything unconstitutional or unlawful" and would only launch investigations on "a factual, articulable legal basis to do so." |

| Manifest Destiny Reborn: Trump Reclaims America's Bold Vision for the Future |
| by Zachary Gohl |
| "Go west, young man." When Horace Greeley, founder and editor of the New York-Tribune, penned this line, he could have never imagined that President Donald Trump would invoke the very spirit captured in the phrase nearly 200 years later. |

| Making Social Conservatism Great Again |
| by David Closson |
| Amid the blistering pace of executive orders, the news cycle surrounding President Trump's pardoning of the January 6 rioters, and the changes made to immigration policy, it's easy to overlook how Trump has not only reversed misguided Biden-era policies related to life and family but has also advanced socially conservative policies at a pace few anticipated. Given the breadth of action taken, it is worth summarizing these recent developments. |

| The Truth May Hurt, but It Is Never Harmful |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The truth can hurt, and it can hurt badly. But to experience hurt is not the same as to experience harm. As the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once said: "It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance." |

| Americans Aren't Having Children. Is the Culture to Blame? |
| by Katelyn Rafferty |
| In January 2025, the U.S Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its new predictions on the demographics of the United States. They report that "by 2033, annual deaths [will] exceed annual birth" in the U.S. The announcement shouldn't be surprising. Birth rates in America have been steadily dropping below replacement level for quite some time. America has a birth rate of 1.7 children per woman - well below the two children per woman necessary to maintain current levels. |
