House Passes BBB as Conservatives Win 'Significant Commitments' on Life, Transgenderism |
by Ben Johnson |
Congress has delivered President Donald Trump's signature legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill, but not without hours of mean-spirited Democratic delay and principled conservative negotiations that secured "major" commitments of executive action and future legislation to promote the pro-life, pro-family cause. |

'What Is an American?' Why We Remember Heroes on Our National Holiday |
by S.A. McCarthy |
Today, the United States of America celebrates the 249th anniversary of its founding and independence. Just eight months ago (almost to the day), Americans overwhelmingly voted President Donald Trump back into the White House. While there were and are a number of reasons - rampant inflation, a crippling illegal immigration crisis, and skyrocketing crime rates come readily to mind - that Americans preferred Trump over his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, a lesser-discussed reason that Americans backed Trump is because he loves and respects American history, heritage, and heroes. |

Trump's Rhetorical War on the Fed Chairman |
by Joshua Arnold |
Anyone who accrues one of President Trump's derogatory nicknames must know there is a target on his back. Trump's latest target is Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. On Monday, Trump dubbed him "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell," adding on Wednesday that "'Too Late' should resign immediately!!!" Trump himself elevated Powell to the role in 2018, but Trump now charges him with responding too sluggishly to changing economic conditions. In particular, Trump wants the Federal Reserve to dramatically reduce interest rates, which he argues is needed to create roaring economic growth. |

Obama-Appointed Judge Demands Trump Allow Border 'Invasion' to Continue |
by S.A. McCarthy |
Over the course of June, no illegal immigrants were permitted across the nation's southern border, thanks to the policies of President Donald Trump. Just over 6,000 illegal immigrants were encountered by U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), but border czar Tom Homan reported that "none of the 6,070 were released into the U.S. ZERO." Homan, a border security veteran of over 40 years, asserted, "President Trump has created the most secure border in the history of the nation and the data proves it. We have never seen numbers this low. Never." But a federal judge in Washington, D.C. could unsecure "the most secure border in the history of the nation." |

A Historic Week at the Supreme Court |
by David Closson |
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a series of landmark decisions on issues of great importance to Christians and social conservatives, including abortion, parental rights, and online pornography. Combined with the Skrmetti decision released two weeks earlier - which upheld a Tennessee law protecting minors from gender transition procedures - it is no exaggeration to say that this was one of the most consequential two-week periods at the Supreme Court in recent history. |

by Joshua Arnold |
Colombian authorities on Tuesday uncovered a mass grave containing the bodies of six men and two women, indigenous evangelical Christians who went missing in April. The tragic incident indicates the great vulnerability many Christians face daily around the globe, especially poor Christians in the Amazon rainforest. It also signals to us, as Jesus said, that we are living in the end times. |

CIA: Intelligence Community's 2016 'Russian Collusion' Claims Suffered Political Bias, Procedural Anomalies |
by S.A. McCarthy |
A new report from America's top intelligence agency is revealing corruption and political motivation behind claims of "Russian collusion" in the 2016 presidential election. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Ratcliffe commissioned a tradecraft report examining the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) alleging widespread Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, which in turn fueled the narrative that then-president-elect Donald Trump illegally collaborated with Russian operatives in order to defeat his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. |
