| Chick-fil-A Doubles Down, Keeps DEI on the Menu |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| It's one thing to catch a local Chick-fil-A rebelling against Christian values - and quite another for headquarters to defend it. After this month's revelation that an Orem, Utah location was publicly supporting same-sex marriage in a congratulatory post on Facebook (a post that's still there), several disappointed customers reached out to corporate, hoping for an apology - or at least clarity - on what they saw as a public departure from the chain's longtime beliefs. What they got instead was further confirmation that the Cathys' beloved empire has lost its way. |

| PERKINS: Obamacare's Leaking Roof |
| by Tony Perkins |
| Twenty years ago, I wrote my first book with the late Bishop Harry Jackson, "Personal Faith: Public Policy." Among the major issues we examined were immigration and health care. And here we are - two decades later - still listening to the same debates. Some issues in Washington are like that proverbial leaking roof: everyone knows it needs fixing, and every storm reminds us of the problem. But instead of grabbing a ladder and repairing it, the buckets just get moved around. |

| Caribbean Tanker Takeover Steers American Pressure on Venezuela into More Customary Lane |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Mainstream media outlets eagerly reported the Trump administration's seizure of an oil tanker laden with Venezuelan oil as "an escalation in President Trump's military pressure campaign against Venezuela's leader, Nicolas Maduro," as The New York Times put it. Yet not every new development is an escalation, and, for an administration that has stirred controversy by blasting nearly two dozen alleged drug boats out of the water, seizing oil tankers is a surprisingly conventional turn. |

| Indiana Senate GOP Earns Trump's Wrath after Killing Redistricting Bill |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| In the midst of high-profile infighting, the Hoosier State's GOP-led Senate rejected a redistricting measure that would have flipped two Democrat-held seats in the U.S. House of Representatives red. On Thursday, 21 Republicans in Indiana's State Senate sided with the chambers only 10 Democrats in a vote against new congressional maps, while 19 Republicans backed the measure. The new maps had previously been approved by Indiana's House in a vote of 57 to 41 and sent to the Senate floor by the Senate Elections Committee in a six to three vote earlier this week. |

| California's Newsom Goes All in on Trans Promotion |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), also a potential 2028 presidential candidate, boasted about his promotion of transgenderism during a recent appearance on "The Ezra Klein Show." "There's no governor that's done more pro-trans legislation than I have," he bragged. "No one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ community." Even more striking was his blunt statement that he wants "to see trans kids." |

| In a World of 'Go Big or Go Home,' Are You Faithful with Little? |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| In a world obsessed with viral moments, grand gestures, and overnight success, the slogan "go big or go home" echoes everywhere. Some argue it's meant to motivate us - a rallying cry to give everything you've got if you're going to bother at all. There's a place for such bold ambition, no doubt. But for most of us, that mindset can become a trap: paralyzing perfectionism and pressure to make the first move a massive one often keeps us sidelined, waiting for the "perfect" big opportunity while doing nothing at all in the process. |

| In Miller Decision, Supreme Court Quashes New York's Religious Animus |
| by Daniel Schmid |
| An Old Order Amish proverb states that "they who trim themselves to fit others will soon whittle themselves away." Thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States on Monday, New York's storied Old Order Amish population need neither trim their religious beliefs to fit New York's seemingly endless descent into godlessness, nor whittle the core values of their religious community down to nothing. |
