| The Fake Women's War against Mike Johnson |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| House Republicans are a baffling group to watch. Here they are, under the gun on health care subsidies, appropriations, the must-pass defense bill, and a basket full of other crises pressing in on them before the clock strikes Christmas, and what are their loudest voices doing? Attacking leadership. While the precious minutes tick down on a to-do list that rivals Santa's, a group of angry GOP women aren't putting their heads down, uniting, and racing to solve the problems weighing down Congress, they're slinging arrows at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) - and then complaining that the GOP isn't getting anything done. Grab a dictionary, look up the word "counterproductive," and you'll understand exactly what the speaker is dealing with. |

| by Joshua Arnold |

| Battlefield Faith: 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Great Bridge, Virginia |
| by Kenyn Cureton |
| One of the most overlooked but pivotal battles in the American War for Independence was fought at Great Bridge, Virginia on December 9, 1775. Significantly, it was also the first recognized battle in the colony. While the scale was small in comparison with other major battles during the Revolution, the impact on the war going forward was enormous. As it was in New England, biblical faith animated the participants in their steps toward war, and it was evident in the men who fought in the Battle of Great Bridge. |
