Court Delivers Win to Military Members Denied Religious Exemptions From Pentagon Vaccine Mandate <[link removed]> – While the Jan. 3 victory applies only to the named naval personnel in the lawsuit and not to the entire vaccine mandate issued by the Department of Defense, for religious-freedom advocates and faithful Americans, the victory is a breath of fresh air and a much-needed reminder that individuals who have selflessly committed themselves to the defense of the Constitution and its enshrined liberties are sometimes
the very people whose rights need defending the most. Heritage Expert: Sarah Parshall Perry <[link removed]>
 
How the Left Would Destroy Confidence in
Elections <[link removed]> – It is disappointing to see Democrats reassert their push to pass federal legislation that would lead to dishonest and unfair elections and destroy public confidence in the integrity of all future elections. The claim that state reforms intended to protect voters are ‘voter suppression’ and an ‘attack on democracy’ is a lie and an attempt to con Americans into supporting deceptive and dangerous federal legislation. American voters don’t want Washington politicos telling states how to run their elections. Federal legislation that would ban all state voter ID laws, mandate reckless practices, and give unelected and unaccountable federal bureaucrats the ability to veto state election rules they don’t like would imperil free and honest elections. Heritage Expert: Hans von Spakovsky <[link removed]>
  
Biden’s foreign policy challenges for 2022—are he and his team up for the
job? <[link removed]>  – How long can Biden limp along with the lethargic, inept team he has running national security and foreign policy?
So far, the only personnel shake-ups he has made involve the Oval Office dog and a cat. With a domestic agenda on life support, a looming midterm election massacre and global problems galore, can Biden really afford to keep this lame team on the roster? Changes are well in order. But that raises the question: If Biden does bring in new people, will U.S. polices get better or worse? Heritage Expert: James Carafano <[link removed]>
 
8 College Professors Canceled by Left <[link removed]> – It’s common knowledge that the radical left dominates academia. The left routinely purges those who go against its orthodoxy on college campuses, and in so doing solidifies its grip on education. The following are eight victims of the left’s crusade to silence anyone who diverges from the approved points of view. Heritage Expert: Douglas Blair <[link removed]>
