| by Joshua Arnold |
| In a win for children, common sense, and constitutional integrity, the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a Tennessee law (SB1) protecting minors from gender transition procedures.

| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| The worst pain for the hostage families is not knowing. To the 58 pairs of mothers and fathers who crossed into the 600-day threshold of this nightmare last month, the flickers of hope feel fewer and farther between. "Time is running out," survivor Yocheved Lifshitz said emotionally. Others, looking at pictures of the dozens still in captivity - more than half of whom are almost certainly dead - can't begin to comprehend the hell they've endured. "It's hard to imagine what they and their families are going through after 600 days," Jake Teper shook his head. But in these dark nights of the soul, there's a common theme among the fortunate ones: God never left. |

| by Mark Tapscott |
| Democrats on Capitol Hill budget panels are loudly praising the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) new "dynamic" scoring of President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (BBB) for confirming their talking points that the proposal disproportionately benefits the wealthy, while ballooning the national debt. |

| Did Planned Parenthood Commit Yet Another Felony? |
| by Ben Johnson |
| The House DOGE Subcommittee announced last week it had launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood for a panoply of charges, including illegally promoting abortion and transgender injections to children and profiting from the harvest or transfer of aborted babies' organs and tissue.
