The Dawn That Darkness Cannot Stop

Written by Robert Knight

The adage “It’s always darkest before the dawn” is a perfect fit for this week in the Northern Hemisphere.

The winter solstice was Sunday. At less than eight hours, it was the shortest day of the year, leading to the longest, darkest night.

Then, four days later, we celebrate the entrance of divine light into the world on Dec. 25, with the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. Down Under, it’s summertime because of the tilt of the Earth, but Christians in Australia, South America and Africa are also celebrating Christmas.… Continue Reading

Taking Our Islamic Enemy at His Word

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

It has been said that the best predictor of future behavior is always past behavior and that if you want to know what your neighbor is going to do tomorrow, it would be wise to pay attention to what he has already done. In the words of Sun Tzu: “Know your enemy” if you want to avoid the “peril of a hundred of battles.”

In light of recent atrocities, including the massacre of Jews in Australia and the butchery of Christians in Nigeria, as well as the shootings on the campus of Brown University, maybe it’s time we start acknowledging what we know about this enemy that seems so hell-bent on destroying us.… Continue Reading

Ilhan Omar’s Unchallenged Claims — and a Protective Media

Written by Tim Graham

As a leftist Muslim immigrant from Somalia, radical U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is wonderfully blessed with a DEI press. She is perennially assumed to be a victim of racism, sexism and xenophobia whenever she is criticized, and especially when she’s verbally targeted by President Donald Trump.

At the end of a typically syrupy interview with Esme Murphy from the local CBS station WCCO in Minneapolis on Sunday, Omar claimed her 19-year-old son Adnan Hirsi was pulled over by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement personnel.… Continue Reading

The Protect Children’s Innocence Act Passed By Minimum Vote

Written by David E. Smith

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 3492 — the Protect Children’s Innocence Act — on December 17, 2025, by a narrow 216–211 vote. The legislation now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration.

This landmark bill, sponsored by U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), would amend federal law to make it a crime to provide gender-affirming medical procedures or medications (including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-reassignment surgeries) to minors under the age of 18.… Continue Reading

Unlawful, Unqualified, and Behind the Wheel

Written by David E. Smith

A disturbing reality is finally being exposed: thousands of illegal immigrants have been operating commercial vehicles on American roads—often without proper training, without English proficiency, and in violation of federal law.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently announced that more than 9,500 commercial truck drivers have been taken out of service nationwide after failing federally required English-language proficiency checks. This followed new enforcement guidance strengthening long-standing rules that require commercial drivers to read, speak, and understand English—a basic safety necessity when navigating traffic signs, emergency instructions, and law-enforcement encounters.… Continue Reading

Refugees, Borders, and the Bible: A Dangerous Confusion

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last week, the National Association of Evangelicals published its monthly newsletter, whereby it heralded the Christmas season not by celebrating “joy to the world” but by repeating its annual Yuletide claim that because Christ was a “refugee,” all Christians are obligated to welcome all immigrants (regardless of status) into our country, our towns and our neighborhoods.

How are we to do this? How exactly are some 60 million American evangelicals purportedly represented by the National Association of Evangelicals to welcome the “sojourner” and “foreigner” in our midst?… Continue Reading

Hooked by Design: The Neuroscience Behind Doomscrolling

Written by Robert Knight

Neurological science is catching up with the tech revolution. Our brains, a growing body of research shows, are sitting ducks for the stimuli found on cellphones, social media and computer screens, making us want even more.

The 24/7 news feed makes it tough to relax when a crisis is always going on somewhere, and we can engage in “doom scrolling.” Our bodies emit “fight or flight” chemicals when we feel endangered, anxious or stressed.… Continue Reading

DOJ Review: Dead Registrants & Non-Citizens Found on Voter Rolls

Written by David E. Smith

A sweeping U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) review has uncovered over 260,000 deceased individuals still listed on voter rolls nationwide—along with thousands of non-citizens registered to vote in federal elections. Now, the DOJ is demanding that Illinois hand over its complete statewide voter-registration database, unredacted, as part of a broader push to enforce federal election-integrity laws. Some states are cooperating; others, including Illinois, are resisting. The stakes for 2026 could not be clearer.… Continue Reading

The Attack That Exposed America’s Immigration Delusion

Written by Daniel Howowitz

If anyone from a backward and unstable country could be vetted for anti-American hostility, it would have been someone like Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the Afghan national who allegedly shot two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., the day before Thanksgiving. He had been vetted by the CIA, worked with our military in Afghanistan, and was later approved for asylum alongside his wife and five children.

And still, he turned his gun on the very country that took him in.… Continue Reading

The White House, Teenagers and Media Bias

Written by David E. Smith

The Trump White House has officially launched a media-bias page on its website — and judging by the hysteria from the legacy press, the Trump Administration hit a nerve. Breitbart reports that the new page highlights falsehoods, distortions, and slanted coverage from the usual suspects. And the reaction from those “objective journalists” tells you everything you need to know.

It’s exciting to see a Republican administration go on offense rather than shrink back.… Continue Reading
