Here is a starter's list. |

| Recognizing Reality and Rhetoric in Russia-Ukraine War |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| On Monday, the U.S. voted against a U.N. resolution demanding that Russian forces "immediately, completely, and unconditionally withdraw" from Ukraine. Even though the resolution called for a "de-escalation, an early cessation of hostilities, and a peaceful resolution of the war against Ukraine," the U.S. voted with 17 other nations, including Russia and North Korea, against it. The General Assembly resolution ultimately passed 93-18, with 65 member states abstaining (including China and Iran). |

| Congolese Christians: Killed But Conquering |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Late last week, ISIS-affiliated terrorists in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) rounded up 70 Christians, corralled them into a church, beheaded them, and left their bodies for others to find later. The facts are disturbing, and we naturally recoil from contemplating this barbaric display of Islamist violence. This horror seems a world away - not to mention a thousand years in the past. But underneath the revulsion, if we force ourselves to stare at this evidence of human depravity a moment longer, what other emotions does it stir within us? |

| Born Again Buttigieg? Mayor Pete Says He Opposes DEI, But His Record Says Otherwise |
| by Ben Johnson |
| Christians with a sense of history know the most startling conversions happen, not inside revival tents or through Christian programs, but on the campaign trail.

| Hispanic Americans Eager for Bold Immigration Reform |
| by Carlos Duran |
| While securing the border is essential, we must also recognize the millions of undocumented immigrants who already live and work in the U.S. These individuals are not just statistics; they are neighbors, coworkers, and fellow worshippers. The Republican Party now faces a challenge much like the one Ronald Reagan confronted: upholding the rule of law while addressing the reality of those already here. Reagan sought a solution in his time, yet many of the underlying issues persist to this day. |
