There was a time that little Wheaton College, located in a sleepy town just 30 miles west of Chicago, Illinois, had a dynamic reputation for excellence in Christian scholarship.

“The war on women’s sports is over!” ~President Donald J. Trump~
On February 5, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which aims to prohibit confused men and boys from competing in female sports categories in schools or organizations receiving Title IX federal funds.

Should we allow people in the United States to say hateful things? Absolutely — that is the essence of America. We cannot start down the slippery slope of punishing people for their beliefs, as we saw under the Biden administration with the treatment of January 6 defendants.
Does that mean we should admit foreigners who hold pro-terrorist beliefs and spread them on social media? Absolutely not! Freedom of speech is a right, but no foreigner has an affirmative right to immigrate.… Continue Reading

In a Jan. 26 interview on CBS “Face the Nation,” left-wing program host Margaret Brennan asks Vice President JD Vance, “Do you personally support the idea of conducting a raid or enforcement action in a church service, at a school?”
The Vice President quickly points out that protecting America and Americans, including migrants here legally, is the Trump Administration number one priority. And when Brennan highlighted the concerns of the U.S.… Continue Reading
