| PERKINS: The Missing Ingredient among America's Men |
| by Tony Perkins |
| If we have moral courage - courage rooted in conviction and anchored in a transcendent cause - we will confront China. We will address fiscal recklessness. And we will resist the Left's godless agenda. But without moral courage, we will fold under pressure. That is the most significant void in our culture today. |

| As the FBI Cuts Ties with the SPLC, FRC Urges DOJ to Do the Same |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The FBI has cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) - the far-left organization responsible for designating several Christian and conservative organizations as "hate groups." While the move was praised by many, there appears to be a general consensus: it's a good step, but it should only be the beginning. A longstanding target of SPLC's hate labeling, Family Research Council (FRC) spearheaded a petition - backed by more than 30,000 Americans - urging a complete purge of SPLC influence from federal institutions. |

| Trump Admin. Will Expand Mexico City Policy to DEI, Gender Ideology: Report |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The second Trump administration continues to give decades-old policies a signature, fresh twist. More than 40 years after President Ronald Reagan first prevented the use of taxpayer dollars for abortions abroad (in what is known as the "Mexico City Policy"), the Trump State Department is planning to update and expand the prohibition to the overseas advancement of gender ideology and DEI ("diversity, equity, and inclusion"). |

| Public Trust in Mainstream Media Falls to New Low |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Nine months into President Donald Trump's second administration, the American public's trust in mainstream media has cratered to an all-time record low. According to a Gallup poll published Thursday, a mere 28% of Americans say that they trust mainstream media a "great deal" or a "fair amount" to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly, down from 31% last year. Meanwhile, 36% of Americans say that they have little trust in the media and 34% say that they have no trust in the media at all, totaling 70% who simply do not trust mainstream media outlets. |

| In Portland, ICE Faces Hostile Rioters and Hostile Local Government |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| A liberal arts college in Portland, Ore. fired its director of community safety last week for the shocking offense of identifying to FBI a recent alumnus charged with criminal acts during a June 14 anti-ICE demonstration. Cooperating with law enforcement agencies may sound like an ordinary part of any campus safety director's job. But, after 15 years on the job, Reed College's Gary Granger was fired for doing just that. |

| ICE-Tracking App Removed from App Store |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Following a deadly attack on an immigration detention center, an app used to track federal law enforcement officers will no longer be available for download. Apple agreed on Thursday to remove the ICEBlock app, which uses crowdsourcing to track U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, from its App Store, facing pressure from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in the wake of a shooting at an ICE detention center in Dallas. The sniper, who wrote "anti-ICE" slogans on his bullets, reportedly used ICEBlock to track immigration agents and determine when to open fire. |

| Earth's Fleeting Applause or Heaven's Eternal Echo: Where Will Your Name be Known? |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Many years ago, I read something online - simple yet profound - that still resurfaces from time to time. It went like this: "Comparison will either make you feel superior or inferior. Neither honors God." Most of us understand the Bible's warnings against pride and being puffed up. We're called to humility, after all, and if boasting must enter the equation, it should only be in the Lord. But what about the flip side - the quiet ache of feeling lesser than? What light does God's truth shed on that shadow? |

| by Tyler O'Neil |

The "hate map" has inspired at least one terrorist attack against a conservative organization. |

| The history of our great nation is not without blemishes, scars, and missteps, but along the way, we have been guided by devoted leaders who encouraged citizens to pray. In recent years, however, our nation has experienced a scarcity of this kind of leadership. |
