| by Ben Johnson |
| President Donald Trump may have touched off a national revolution of common sense on transgender ideology, as yet another state has declared men should not have access to battered women's shelters, restrooms, or changing areas. |

| Senate Has Until Midnight Friday to Fund Government |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Washington's weariest rerun is broadcasting again this week, as Congress has until Friday to pass a spending measure that will avert a partial government shutdown. But this time around, the same ol' show has tacked on a Trumpian twist. With a nearly-united Republican trifecta, Senate Democrats have found themselves in the unusual - and uncomfortable - position of choosing between a bill they don't like and shutting down the government. |

| The Legal Lethality of Late-Term Abortions |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| Any story about media coverage of abortion in the United States is ultimately an act of frustration. Name the last time a media representative, particularly in the cable universe, showed a baby delivered at 22 weeks of gestation. Or the last time they noted the recent data that nearly 36% of babies born at 22 weeks will survive and 82% will do so at 25 weeks (reports of even better save rates are emerging). How many media outlets share information and stories about the growing range of conditions that are amenable to treatment and can be cured inside the womb, illustrating the separate personhood and "patienthood" of these little ones? |

| Trump's Tariffs Put America First |
| by Victoria Marshall |
| President Donald Trump is shocking America... by doing exactly what he promised. On Monday, the president imposed a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports. As a result, the market plunged. The S&P 500 slid 2.7% (its worst day of the year), the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 2.1%, and the Nasdaq by 4%. Wall Street investors are anxious about what Trump's tariffs will bring. Yet Trump predicted such market volatility last week in his joint address to Congress, saying, "There will be a little disturbance, but we are okay with that." |

| Trump v. Mills: Radical Gender Ideology Is Questioned in Maine |
| by Owen Strachan |
| The confusion playing out in Maine has become very nearly the central divide of the age. Even as we have split the atom and landed on the moon, our civilization somehow continues to debate these questions: what is a woman? Is it right and good for boys to play girls' sports? Should we protect our daughters from boys who want to enter their restrooms, or nah? |

| Trump Fires 50% of Education Dept. Employees |
| by Ben Johnson |
| President Donald Trump's order to reduce the U.S. Department of Education by half will improve education, give parents more resources, and save taxpayer dollars, says one congressman, who noted the greatest opposition comes from teachers unions and "Marxists who hate faith, family, free market, education." |

| Praying for a Better Future in Syria - without Jihadis |
| by Lela Gilbert |
| In recent days, a horrifying surge of violence and bloodshed has swept across Syria, leaving a civilian death toll of nearly 1,400. Most of the victims were part of the Alawite sect, former Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad's religious community. A number of Christians who live in close proximity to Alawite communities have also been killed. |
