Ted Cruz: 12 Wins in the “One Big Beautiful Bill”

Written by David E. Smith

As we all know by now, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill—a much-needed course correction for a nation in moral and economic decline. This bold legislation champions the dignity of work, the sanctity of family, and the duty of government to serve—not control—its citizens. By providing tax relief to working families, protecting the preborn by defunding abortion mills, and easing the burden on struggling seniors, this bill aligns with biblical principles of stewardship, justice, and compassion.… Continue Reading

Chip Gaines Judges Everyone But Himself for Judging

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last week’s major kerfuffle in the conservative Christian world centered around the announcement by Chip and Joanna Gaines, of Magnolia Network fame, that they will proudly feature a “family” of two “married” men and the men’s young, surrogacy-purchased boys in an upcoming episode of their show.

Upon receiving predictable criticism for this decision, Mr. Gaines defiantly posted the following message on X:

“Talk, ask questions, listen … maybe even learn.

The Arrogant Media Are Not ‘Bringing Us Closer Together’

Written by Tim Graham

As the world of “public” broadcasting faces the rebuke of Congress rescinding its billions of dollars, it spurs a broader thought about the arrogance of liberal journalists at national media outlets. They’re not simply arrogant. They sound remarkably insincere.

Start with a man named Michael Tribble, the chief content officer at WAMU, the NPR station in the nation’s capital. He sent out a fundraising email after the U.S. Senate rebuke, oozing to their liberal supporters: “You’re part of a community that believes facts matter, that context matters, and that journalism has the power to bring us closer together.”… Continue Reading

What Do You Call 12 Antifa Radicals in Body Armor?

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Since the 1990s, federal agencies and the media have fed Americans a steady diet of panic about shadowy “right-wing militias” — usually ex-military guys obsessed with guns and ready to wage war against the government at a moment’s notice.

The panic went into overdrive after January 6, 2021. But now, in a staggering act of projection, the threat they’ve spent decades warning about has arrived — only it’s coming from the radical left.… Continue Reading

Pastors Should Be More Involved in Politics, Not Less

Written by Robert Knight

Before 1954, pastors, priests and rabbis could openly endorse political parties or candidates.

Then came the Johnson Amendment, named for Lyndon Baines Johnson, then an U.S. Senator from Texas who tweaked the IRS code. Suddenly, tax-exempt nonprofits were barred from “participating or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” The “opposition to” phrase was added in 1986.

A ruthless political strategist before and during his presidency, Johnson engineered this coup after two Texas nonprofit groups had supported his Senate primary opponent.… Continue Reading

Good Committeemen Needed in Cook County

Written by David E. Smith

Among Illinois conservatives, frustration with Cook County Republican leadership—and their backroom deals with Chicago Democrats—is boiling over. In many circles, that frustration has turned into outright rage. This discontent isn’t new; countless conservatives have already walked away from the party. But unrest is growing. Talk of an internal GOP civil war is becoming more frequent, and some may even buy into the idea of launching a third party—a move that would all but guarantee more victories for the Democrats.… Continue Reading

Pritzker and Perversion

Written by Rev. Calvin Lindstrom

At the close of June 2025, Jay Robert Pritzker declared his intention to seek an unprecedented third term as Governor of Illinois. This move, widely interpreted as a stepping stone toward a potential presidential bid, solidifies his political trajectory and raises critical questions about the nature of power and influence in contemporary American governance.

Pritzker’s path to the governorship has been paved with an unparalleled personal fortune. In 2018, he invested an astounding $171.5 million of his own wealth into his campaign, followed by an additional $145 million in 2022 to secure his second term.… Continue Reading

Baylor Affirms LGBTQ Inclusivity

Calvin Coolidge on The Declaration of Independence

The following text is perhaps one of the most insightful appreciations of the Declaration ever pronounced. President Calvin Coolidge gave this speech in Philadelphia on July 5, 1926, marking the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. We hope you will find it encouraging.

we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it.”… Continue Reading
