The U.S. House Blocks Release of Sexual Misconduct Records

Written by David E. Smith

Congress Chooses Secrecy Over Transparency

On March 4, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 357–65 to block a resolution that would have forced the public release of sexual misconduct and harassment reports involving members of Congress. The proposal, introduced by U.S. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), was instead referred back to the U.S. House Ethics Committee, effectively preventing the disclosures from becoming public.

Officials of the bipartisan Committee on Ethics, including U.S.… Continue Reading

Public Health and Private Idolatry: A Troubling Nomination

Written by Peter Heck

Casey Means‘ nomination to serve as U.S. Surgeon General is moving forward again.

That alone might not raise alarms. Presidents nominate allies all the time and political skirmishes over health policy are nothing new. But this nomination is different – not because of partisan alignment, dietary views, or vaccine debates. Because of spiritual foundations.

When I first began examining her public statements, I honestly assumed critics were exaggerating. They weren’t.

In her own newsletters and interviews, Means describes praying to photographs of her ancestors and asking them for support.… Continue Reading

Social Security in Crisis: Should We Care?

Written by Rev. Thorin Anderson

It is an established fact that the Social Security Trust Fund will be depleted sometime in 2032. What this means is that going forward from that point recipients will receive only what is available from the current withholdings from America’s workers. Social Security administrators are estimating that there will be an approximate 25% reduction in the payouts to America’s retirees.

To most Americans this may appear to be of little consequence, but the ramifications are far more serious than one might think.… Continue Reading

Erasing the Pledge, Rewriting the Culture

Written by Robert Knight

A city board in northwestern Virginia voted Tuesday to remove the Pledge of Allegiance as the opener for its meetings.

One of the Winchester Planning Commission’s liberal female members blew off the tradition as “pageantry,” and another called it “unnecessary.” Without discussion, they voted 4-2 to toss the Pledge into the hopper.

This is in line with what Democrats are doing to Virginia now that they have taken total control in Richmond.… Continue Reading

Jim Crow or Common Sense? The Media’s War on Voter ID

Written by Tim Graham

The people who call themselves the “mainstream media” have a remarkable tendency to take the minority position on an 80-20 issue, most recently on requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls. U.S. House Republicans have passed the SAVE Act, while Democrats have almost unanimously opposed it.

But the American people do not. Gallup pollsters report 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote — 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats.… Continue Reading

JB Pritzker, ICE, and the Art of Selective Outrage

Written by Thomas Hampson

Governor JB Pritzker delivered his eighth consecutive budget address on February 18th. If you closed your eyes and listened, you might have thought you were hearing a man of the people, a defender of the powerless standing up to a tyrannical federal government. He invoked Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Reverend Jesse Jackson. He quoted the great reform governor, John Peter Altgeld.

He spoke of empathy, love, and the courage to resist authoritarianism.… Continue Reading

Only Citizens Voting Isn’t “Jim Crow”—It’s Democracy

Written by Robert Knight

Faced with Democratic opposition over a national election integrity bill, House Republicans are upping the ante instead of reflexively making concessions.

They passed the SAVE Act in April by a vote of 220-208, with all Republicans voting yes and all but four Democrats voting no. That bill would require proof of citizenship for all new voter registrations.

Two of the Democrats who voted yes, U.S. Representatives Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar, represent South Texas border districts.… Continue Reading

Riley Gaines Barker: Men & Women Are Different

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Riley Gaines Barker is a 12-time all-American collegiate swimmer who gained national notoriety for her common sense stand that men and women are different.

In her collegiate swimming career, Riley faced firsthand the harm that “gender-affirming care” brings to women when she and her teammates were forced to share a locker room with a biological male during NCAA competitions.

In her speech from the 2025 Faith, Family & Freedom Banquet, Riley affirms the biblical realities of gender, sexuality, and life in the womb.… Continue Reading

When Leftists Invade the Sanctuary

Written by Robert Knight

When leftist protesters stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, during a Sunday service on Jan. 19, they chanted and screamed. Some of them told the frightened children that their parents were Nazis. Others blocked parents from reaching their children to remove them from the chaos.

Former CNN newsman Don Lemon, who claimed to have been an observer, insisted that the mob — and he — had a First Amendment right to disrupt the service.… Continue Reading
