Trump Shakes up Middle East with Plan to 'Take Over' Gaza
by Joshua Arnold
President Donald Trump certainly knows how to entertain ... and surprise ... and keep the initiative.

by Sarah Holliday
On a dark, cold morning in Washington, D.C., hundreds gathered at the Museum of the Bible for the 2025 National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance (NGPR).

Gary Palmer (R-Ala.) highlighted, most museums are dedicated to people and things that are of the past. This "biblical gathering," however, took place at a museum dedicated to the living and active God and His word. NGPR was not a prayer time geared toward Buddha or Allah, as the opening remarks addressed, but to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

by Bob Marshall
The 1942 Supreme Court decision Skinner v. Oklahoma ex rel. Williamson invalidating a 1935 Oklahoma mandatory criminal sterilization statute successfully challenged by a chicken thief may give President Donald Trump unexpected constitutional support for his recent executive order to protect America's children from chemical and surgical mutilation resulting from so-called medical professionals, who "are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child's sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions."
