| On Israel-Iran War, Trump Administration Finds Itself Playing Diplomatic Chess |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| One of the foremost tools in the president's belt is his peerless platform to persuade - what President Teddy Roosevelt called "such a bully [that is, 'superb'] pulpit." Some presidents - Joe Biden, for example - never know how to fill the pulpit, often seeing themselves as victims of public opinion rather than shapers of it. But epoch-shaping presidents succeed in hammering out a vision that brings public opinion along with their agenda. |

| A 10-Year AI Moratorium Will Leave Americans 'Manipulated in Ways We Don't Understand': AG |
| by Ben Johnson |
| A growing coalition of prosecutors spanning nearly every geographic and political division in the country is warning against a "sweeping and wholly destructive" provision in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" rendering them helpless to protect children from an industry that produces artificially generated child pornography, encourages pedophiles' fantasies, stokes mentally ill people's delusions, and has been tied to multiple suicides. |

| Massacre at Dawn: 200 Christians Slaughtered, Burned Alive by Jihadist Extremists |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| In the predawn stillness of a quiet Nigerian farming village last Friday, a heart-wrenching tragedy shattered the fragile peace.

| Outstanding - Post-Roe Reality: Fighting for Life in the Age of Abortion Pills (Ep. 196) |
| Podcast with Casey Harper and Mary Szoch |
| The fight for life is far from over. Family Research Council's Mary Szoch joins host Casey Harper to discuss what the life issue landscape looks like since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. While a lot of good has come from that decision, abortions have actually been on the rise over the last few years - driven largely by the widespread use of chemical abortion pills like mifepristone. Harper and Szoch unpack the health risks of mifepristone, Planned Parenthood's latest report, and clarify that pro-life laws protect, not endanger, women. |

| The Growing Division between Men and Women on Abortion: Experts Weigh In |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| The U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade reignited debate over abortion across the nation, but a new survey is suggesting that the widest divides on the issue may be between men and women. A June Gallup poll found that support for abortion along three metrics - identifying as "pro-choice," supporting broad legalization of abortion, and considering abortion "morally acceptable" - has slowly waned since 2022 but is still generally stronger than support for pro-life positions. |

| by Casey Harper |
| President Donald Trump famously fended off a barrage of state and federal charges in a notorious lawfare campaign to end his presidential bid. In typical Trump fashion, the attacks rolled off his back, but other conservative and Christian groups aren't so lucky. |

| Calling for Nuclear Disarmament Is Unrealistic |
| by Evelyn Elliott |
| After visiting Hiroshima, Japan, where America dropped a nuclear bomb in 1945, Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard posted an emotional video on social media, warning Americans about the danger of nuclear war. She recounted the pain and suffering she saw which still haunted Hiroshima. Then she pointed out how the bomb America dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of 15 kilotons of TNT, while today's bombs have a yield of 100 kilotons to one megaton of TNT. Gabbard used this statistic to call the people of America to action to prevent nuclear war. In her words, the world is "closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before." |

| Totalitarian Social Engineering (Part 6): Feminism |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| The regime called on "all those who, at every level of the state and political apparatus, in every part of the country, are part of the revolutionary power" to maintain a proactive attitude "in the face of the need for women's incorporation and retention in the workforce." In order for all women's hands to serve the productive machinery, the Communist Party of Cuba recognized that "the notion that childcare is the exclusive responsibility of the mother must be rejected." |
